Chapter 667: Flattery

Xu vomited blood a lot, and every time he vomited, he looked like he was going to die, but it didn't take a few days to get better. Therefore, whether it was the Qin family or the Xu family, they didn't panic too much when they saw her vomiting blood again. Even the girls waiting around her were doing what they had to do in an orderly manner, feeding medicine, reporting news, and asking for a doctor...... The main room of Songfudo quickly calmed down.

Uncle Xu was a little sneering, and Grandma Xu was also a little uneasy at first, but soon said to her husband confidently: "Mrs. Xu's temperament is also too big. Obviously, Sister Xiu'er said a good family affair, which is good for her and good for the family, and there is nothing to find fault with. Mrs. Gu asked us to withdraw from the marriage for no reason, and we kept our promises and refused to break the contract, and she vomited blood. Mrs. Gu is sick now, and what has been thinking about it all day? Why does it seem that she is getting more and more confused? Could it be because of her age?"

Uncle Xu glanced at his wife and understood that she wanted to shirk the responsibility before the Qin family accused them, but how could things be so easy?

Sure enough, the Yao family quickly unceremoniously invited Uncle Xu and his wife out of Songfeng Hall, and sneered: "Our wife is just worried that her nephew and granddaughter will be wronged, and I hope she can find a better marriage, instead of marrying someone at a young age to fill the house." Your husband and wife are greedy for profit, in order to climb the high branches, regardless of the scholarly dignity of the Xu family for generations, our wife is not so shameless! You are still embarrassed, and our wife is so angry that you vomit blood, and you are still talking cool here. Since you don't look down on the teachings of our lady and this elder, then what are you doing at the door of our Chengenhou Mansion? Hurry up and go back wherever you come! Don't defile the lintel of our Qin family!" Later, she also unceremoniously spread her remarks outside, and blamed all the blame for Xu's aggravation of his illness on the head of Xu's family.

For this reason, even the second room of the Xu family has to draw a clear line with the long room in front of people, and from time to time he goes to the Chengenhou Mansion to visit the patient, in order to show that his family is not a disrespectful and ungrateful person like the Xu family's room. The Xu family's room has only climbed into a good family affair, they are so arrogant, and they don't look down on the second room of the Xu family on weekdays, they also have backbone, so don't go along with them!

Grandma Xu was furious at home, complaining that Xu's vomiting blood was not at the right time, and she was very unreasonable, and she also deeply hated Yao's turning his face and not recognizing people, and spreading rumors outside, so that the world misunderstood their family. Uncle Xu tried to explain to his neighbors and relatives and friends, and people naturally smiled and said that they would not believe the rumors, but in fact, who could tell what they thought in their hearts?

Uncle Xu began to worry that these rumors would affect the reputation of his eldest son and the marriage of his eldest daughter. Fortunately, Xu Zheng's friends outside have not been greatly affected for the time being, they are familiar with Xu Zheng's personality, at most they will only think that he is unlucky, and the relatives in the family have no virtue, but they will not misunderstand his own character and ethics because of this. As for Xu Xiu, the Gui family has no intention of getting out of the marriage, but is in a hurry to marry someone into the door. For this reason, the procedures and etiquette before marriage are carried out in a simple and speedy manner. At this rate, Xu Xiu is going to officially get married shortly after the beginning of spring, in February.

Although Xu Xiu's dowry, Xu's family room has already been prepared, and it is only a few new items that need to be purchased now, but this speed is too scary. From marriage to marriage, there is only one month's effort! Even if it is a continuation of the strings, this is too much, and it seems a little ...... Not respectful enough.

If it is another family, and the daughter is so neglected, she may have to refuse the marriage, at least she has to protest to her in-laws to force the other party to change her attitude. However, the Xu family's room is now only afraid that the Gui family will change their hexagrams, as long as the Gui family does not dislike Xu Xiu, but the wedding date is set in a hurry, what does it matter?

After discussing with Grandma Xu, Uncle Xu decided to grit his teeth and accept it, and according to the Gui family's wishes, he married his daughter in February. When the daughter married into the Gui family, captured her husband's heart, and then enveloped the in-laws' family, when Xu Zheng Enke finished the examination and needed to choose an official, she could also get the help of Gui Shilang to get a good position, and she will be on the rise from then on. If her daughter Xu Xiu can be more competitive and conceive the child of the second son of Gui as soon as possible, then when Xu Zheng needs the help of the Gui family, the situation will be more favorable.

Therefore, the Gui family's various requests, Xu Jiafang agreed to them without hesitation. Even the people sent by the Gui family to deliver the news were a little surprised, and after going back, they muttered to Mrs. Gui in private: "The Xu family seems to be bent on holding on to our second son, no matter what, we must pay attention to this family matter, even if our family's request is excessive, they don't care." Even if the Xu family is not as beautiful as it used to be and urgently needs help, it won't be so low-voiced, right? Where is there still a bit of a scholar's temperament?"

Mrs. Gui was noncommittal. Grandma Gui had some thoughts in her heart, and whispered to her mother-in-law: "Although it is said that the second uncle met Miss Xu by chance, and saw that she was born like a second brother and sister, so he moved the idea of marrying, but the Xu family's urgent appearance does not seem to be accidental...... Could it be that even the encounter at the Lantern Festival was deliberately done by the Xu family? The eldest son of the Xu family, isn't he familiar with the second uncle? Maybe he heard about the old things between the second uncle and the second siblings, so he ...... Otherwise, where would there be such a coincidence? That day, I personally went to the house to meet Miss Xu, and I felt that she was not very much like the second brother and sister, maybe it was the dress that made her more similar on the night of the Lantern Festival. With such a deliberate mind, this character is really worrisome......"

Mrs. Gui was like a mirror in her heart, and she had already counted: "You don't have to say much about this." Since the family affair has been decided, and the second child is willing to marry, let's do it. The Xu family is not good, just marry the girl into the door earlier, and there is no need to have more dealings with the Xu family in the future. I just hope that there will be someone around the second child to serve, and he can have children as soon as possible, and everything else is secondary. In our Gui family, there is always only one person in the second daughter-in-law, and no one can cross her!"

Although Grandma Gui was a little jealous in her heart, she didn't plan to deal with the dead, so she smiled obediently: "Since my mother said so, then let's do it." If you marry your second uncle earlier, the whole family can feel at ease as soon as possible. ”

Mrs. Gui nodded, and said, "The second daughter-in-law's mother's house, you go to the house in person, make your words clear, and let them not leave pimples in their hearts." When this newcomer marries back, he will also call the second daughter-in-law a mother in the future, and the second daughter-in-law's incense will have to rely on him to worship. No matter what happens in the future, the Yue family in the second child's heart is only them, and the Xu family is honest, if they are not honest, let the master transfer people far away, so as not to be an eyesore there all day long!"

Grandma Gui responded with a smile, and immediately discussed with her mother-in-law what kind of gifts to prepare for Grandma Gui's family.

How did the Xu family know that the Gui family was planning to do this? They were still busy preparing a dowry for Xu Xiu. No matter how you say it, it is also a marriage minister, even if it is married to fill the house, it can't be too shabby. Grandma Xu even had the idea of letting her daughter overpower the Yuan match in her heart, and quietly inquired about the amount of dowry when Grandma Gui married into the Gui family that day, and wanted to make trouble. It's just that the Xu family has divided the family once, and now the family background is not as good as before. Grandma Xu values her son more, and is reluctant to take those heirloom books, calligraphy and paintings, antiques and the like to support her daughter, so she simply buys more colorful silk and embroidery, and adds some valuable but impractical furnishings that the family got from Xu's in the past, such as coral bonsai and the like, which are not practical and not available to the Xu family today.

However, the dowry list was to be sent to the Gui family in advance, and the Gui family sent the list back the next day, asking that the bride's dowry be suppressed within a certain amount, which was a grade lower than Gui's second grandmother.

The mother-in-law's attitude was still a little hard, almost saying that the Gui family was a famous scholarly family, and she was not used to the style of the nouveau riche.

The Xu family is also a scholarly family for generations, and has always considered itself a famous family, and has been an official in the capital for longer than the Gui family, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face by the Gui family. Grandma Xu was in a panic, and Uncle Xu kept complaining about her, so why did she have to be in the limelight in this kind of thing? Since Xu Xiu was going to marry and be a stepfamily, she put on this attitude of wanting to overpower Yuan from the beginning, so she was not afraid that her mother-in-law's family would misunderstand? Before giving birth to her son, Xu Xiu had to put on a low-key, docile and courteous attitude no matter what. After all, she relied on being born a little like Gui's second grandmother to get this family business. If you make the second son of Gui angry, even if she compares the second grandmother of Gui in the dowry, what is the use?!

The gains outweigh the losses, and there is no distinction between the important and the severe! Uncle Xu unceremoniously scolded his wife for being bloody.

Grandma Xu depressedly changed the dowry list, deleted some valuable furnishings, but did not reduce the clothes, but added some books and antiques, and her heart hurt very much. What is given to a daughter is not the same as what is left to a son. If something is married, it will be someone else's. Unless the daughter has no children and no daughters for the rest of her life, she will never be able to return to the Xu family. But how could Xu Xiu have no children for the rest of his life? This is all the property that originally belonged to his son Xu Zheng!

Grandma Xu sighed, and critically redrafted her daughter's dowry list, not only afraid that she would give away the really precious things, but also afraid that the things would be too bad, and her daughter would not be able to raise her head in her husband's house, so she was entangled and hesitated.

She thought to herself that if it weren't for the future of her husband and son, as well as for the face of her daughter, she would never swallow her anger so much! But since the matter has been done, she can only persevere to the end. Suffer a small loss, just for the sake of getting greater rewards in the future! As long as Xu Zheng has a bright future in the future, what he has lost will one day be able to get back better!

Grandma Xu thought so, and finally felt better. She earnestly rewrote her daughter's dowry list. And Xu Zheng's wife, Lu Shi, who was standing on the side, was grinding ink for her expressionlessly, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.
