Chapter 101: Motherhood
The eldest grandmother of the Hou Mansion in Zhenxi, that is, the Bian family? Just now, she was in the same place with her mother-in-law and daughter, and she was so indifferent to the daughters of the Qin family, she didn't even have a formal salute, she just nodded her head and signaled something, and now she is so kind to invite everyone from the Qin family to go into the yamen of Guanglu Temple to rest? What kind of medicine is she selling in her gourd?
Qin Hanzhen stood closest to the woman at this time, and deliberately asked innocently: "How can Grandma Su be in the yamen of Guanglu Temple?
The mother-in-law smiled and said: "Our grandmother's maiden brother is an official in Guanglu Temple, and he happens to be on duty today. He knew that our grandmother was not in good health, and he was afraid that she would be tired, so he specially instructed people to guard at the door of the official office, and when he saw the grandmother, he invited people in to rest. Now it is the time of the Chinese New Year, except for the officials on duty that day and a few scattered officials in the yamen, there is no one else. In order to welcome our grandmother, my uncle also specially vacated a quiet small courtyard, and no one else disturbed him. The in-laws, grandmothers, and girls just have to rest assured. β
Xu Shi smiled: "I see. Mrs. Zhenxi Hou is really blessed, with such a careful and thoughtful good in-law to help, but unfortunately our family does not have such a blessing. β
It was her mother's brother who prepared a small courtyard for the Bian family, this is just a brotherhood, but the Xu family has to talk about the in-law relationship between the Zhenxi Hou Mansion and the Bian family, in fact, it is just to satirize the in-laws of the Zhenxi Hou Mansion. She was in the main hall of Cining Palace just now, and she also saw the cold attitude of Mrs. Zhenxi Hou and her party, and she was already angry in her heart. If it weren't for her daughter Qin Youyi's position, her attitude towards her in-laws would not have been so gentle.
The mother-in-law probably also knew that her own family was at a loss, and she didn't know what to say except for laughing. She smiled and was about to persuade the Qin family to enter again, but the Xu family left her, turned to the Niu family and said, "Third brother and sister, I see that this place is not very far from Dong'anmen, why don't we work harder, hold on a little longer, and wait until we get out of the imperial city?"
The Niu family didn't know what kind of battle was going on between the Xu family and the Su family, but Qin Hanzhen also whispered to her the attitude of Mrs. Zhenxi Hou, she knew that at this time, the Qin family should unify their position and face the ungrateful Su family together, so she said happily: "Sister-in-law, just rest assured, although I often have some minor illnesses and pains, but when I was young, I was also a person who ran around the mountains, and my legs and feet were good! I just had a serious illness a few years ago and hurt my vitality, but I have recuperated well in the past few years, and it is not a problem to walk two or three miles." Since I can walk all the way from the gate of the imperial city to the Cining Palace, I can naturally walk all the way out of the imperial city from the Cining Palace. Don't underestimate me!"
Xu said with a smile: "Where do I dare to underestimate the third brother and sister? Come, you and I will support each other, let's go together." As he spoke, he really stretched out his hand, took Niu's hand, and the two walked forward together. Qin Hanzhen and the others hurriedly followed, and continued to support them, naturally it was impossible for these two old ladies to really walk the whole journey alone.
The mother-in-law of the Su family failed to invite anyone, so she could only stomp her feet and hurriedly returned to the yamen of Guanglu Temple to report to the Bian family.
After listening to the mother-in-law's report, Bian looked at the tea bowl in his hand and was silent for a long time before sighing: "That's it." I had already advised my mother-in-law not to do that, so that she should do her best in courtesy, so as not to chill her in-laws and make outsiders see the jokes. But my mother-in-law won't listen, so what can I do? I'll go back and say a few good words to my second brother and sister, and ask her to make peace on my behalf. After all, it was rude for our Zhenxi Hou Mansion. β
Her eldest daughter, Miss Su, who was sitting at the bottom of her hand, hesitated: "Actually, why should my mother be like this? Although you said that your grandmother promised you to take me to part ways with her as an excuse to meet with a close friend in the old days and ask someone to help inquire about your father's new mission, as long as her old man heard a little wind later, she would definitely blame you for disobeying your grandfather's order." The Qin family is originally in-laws, as long as there is a second aunt, there is no worry that it will really be separated from our family. Even if there is a gap now, there will always be a day of reconciliation. But you have just returned to the capital, and your grandmother does not like you in the first place, and if you offend her old man for such a trivial matter, your situation at home will be even more difficult in the future. Although your father will protect you, he is not always at home. Moreover...... What is going on in the inner house, grandmother is also a mother-in-law, she wants to teach you a lesson, what can my father say?"
Bian sighed and let his mother-in-law go down, and then lowered his voice and said to his daughter: "How do you know about the hard work of being a mother? This is not a trivial matter, it is a major matter related to your life! On the way back to Beijing, I discussed with your father that the eldest grandson of the Chengenhou Mansion is an outstanding talent, and he has not yet married, so he is a good match for you. If you can talk about this marriage, you will stay in the capital in the future, and your father and I will not have to worry. With your second aunt in our family, the Qin family will never snub you. But your grandfather and grandmother were confused, and they turned their good relatives into enemies, which made it difficult for us to speak. At your grandfather's place, some people who don't know what to call come to him as lobbyists, and they don't know who to match you to. Your father and I are very anxious, for fear that it will delay your life. Don't say it's just a gesture of goodwill to the Qin family, as long as your marriage can go well, I will apologize in a low voice in front of his family, so what's the matter?"
Miss Su suddenly blushed: "Mother......! What do you say?!" shyly turned his head away.
Bian sighed: "Don't patronize shame, it's a matter of your life, and you must also understand the importance of the matter." I discussed with your father for a long time before I picked such a reliable candidate, and it was kissing and kissing, and it was originally nine out of ten. Where did you think that the second elder of the family would make a mistake?"
At this time, there was no one else in the house, and when Bian saw that he had already spoken, he simply explained to his daughter: "Your grandfather and father returned to Beijing, and your grandmother asked your second aunt to ask for Yongjiahou's door. Your second uncle and aunt also have some selfish intentions, and the more you work hard, the more you want to do it, but this matter is not in line with your grandfather's wishes. Your grandfather was used to saying everything in the southwest, but after returning to Beijing, he lost the scenery, and he complained about your grandmother in his heart, and blamed your second uncle for making his own decisions, so he would use the Qin family to deliberately slap your second uncle and aunt in the face to beat them. How did his old man know about these intrigues? He has been in the southwest for a long time and does not know the situation in Beijing. We juniors know that it is inappropriate, but we have to worry about his old man's face, and it is difficult to stop it, but in private we must make up for it. The Qin family is the uncle's mansion, and the Marquis of Yongjia has won the emperor's trust, and if he offends him, what good fruit can our family eat? Not to mention listening to a few words of coaxing, you will have to decide your marriage in a daze!"
Speaking of this, Bian's emotions were a little excited. She took a few deep breaths, and when her mood calmed down a little, she continued: "Therefore, your father originally planned to privately ask your second uncle and aunt to help pull the strings, and officially visit the Chengenhou Mansion and Yongjiahou Mansion, and give all the courtesies. Although your grandfather was rude first, as long as he said that he had not recovered from his old troubles and was recuperating behind closed doors, he did not visit his in-laws, and he could prevaricate in the past. Who knew that your grandmother openly did not give face to the Qin family in the palace today, and no matter how many excuses she had, she couldn't say anything. If I don't do anything, this family of relatives will really be cut off, and what else can I mention about marrying? I am waiting here, and I kindly invite the daughters of the Qin family to rest and drink tea, just to make amends. It's a pity that Mrs. Chengenhou doesn't appreciate it, so we can only think about it again. Your grandfather is confused, and your grandmother only blindly obeys him, but your father and I can't watch the second old man be confused!"
Miss Su's face turned pale when she heard this, and she forced herself to say: "Mother doesn't have to worry too much, there is a second aunt here, she is the flesh and blood of Mrs. Chengenhou's relatives, can the Qin family still leave her alone?"
Bian Shi smiled mockingly: "Your second uncle and second aunt were selfish, and at the request of your grandmother, they asked Yongjiahou to take action to transfer your grandfather and father back to Beijing, and at the same time, when your grandfather's injury improves, your second uncle will be officially released from Beijing and take his wife and children to take office together." When the time comes, the Chengenhou Mansion can communicate with his daughter and son-in-law, and there is no need to pay attention to the Zhenxi Hou Mansion. In a few years, your second uncle and aunt will go out separately, and there will be nothing to do with our Hou Mansion. Even if the Qin family breaks off contact with the Su family, what does it matter?"
Miss Su looked uneasy and said solemnly to Bian: "The daughter understands that her father and mother have good intentions, but in her daughter's heart, she really doesn't want to see her mother suffer any grievances for her daughter. No matter how good the Qin family is, they can't go beyond their mother. My grandfather and grandmother have made up their minds, so it can be seen that I have no relationship with the Qin family, so my mother should not force it, right? He is not the only good man in this world. β
Bian sighed: "Don't I understand this truth with your father? Therefore, marrying the Qin family is secondary, and the most important thing is not to offend the Qin family! If we can get along well with the Qin family's family and the third room, no matter who you marry into in the future, when your father and I are not in Beijing, the Qin family can take care of you more. Especially Yongjiahou, he is extremely long, and he is the prince's uncle, although he is not obvious, no one dares to underestimate him. Don't listen to the nonsense of people who don't know what to say, saying that they have no real power and no understanding of human feelings. The person who said these words, could it be that he was a character on the stage? The summer insect could not speak of ice, and the well frog could not speak of the sea. If we really listen to them, we are fools!"
Miss Su blushed and nodded solemnly.
Bian looked at his daughter, his gaze softened. She touched her daughter's head and said softly: "Actually, I belong to the eldest grandson of the Qin family, and I also think that if the Qin family intends to propose marriage, they will invite the queen mother or the emperor to come forward to marry, and even if your grandfather is unhappy in his heart, he will not be able to refuse." Your marriage is settled, and you don't need to ask those who don't know what to call it to calculate. Do you think they have any good intentions and want to be a matchmaker for you? Even if they really find a perfect boy to match you, I can't agree! Those people ...... They were always restless! They took advantage of your grandfather's prestige in the army to achieve their ulterior motives! Your grandfather did not know the danger and would listen to them. But if they are really done, there will be a good one in the future, won't it be a burden to you? That will cost people's lives! Ministers like our family should do their duty, so why bother to get involved? I only hope that you will be safe and prosperous in your life, and that you will be prosperous and rich, and let others enjoy it, and we will not be rare!"
