Qin Bai and Zhao Mo went to the study, Qin Hanzhen accompanied his grandmother Niu to make fun of Qin Jian, but in fact, he didn't joke for long, laughed for a while, and then turned to chatting about family life. It's just that Qin Jian's marriage is still the main topic. After all, he is also old, not only has he not yet decided on a marriage, but he has not even decided on a specific intention, so mothers-in-law and mothers will inevitably have to care about it.

While speaking, Qin Youzhen came over.

She just came over to say hello to Niu's and talk with her. She is idle these days, and there is nowhere to go, it is enough for the Xu family to go to the morning and dusk sooner or later, Yao's has become more and more yin and yang in recent days, she is too lazy to take care of it, and the Min family is a cold character, so she can't talk, so she comes to Xifu from time to time to chat with the third aunt of the Niu family, and can pass the time.

When she entered the door and saw that the house was lively, and Qin Jian was also there, she smiled and asked, "What are you talking about, so happy?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and beckoned her to sit down, and asked her to serve tea, before replying, "I just made a joke about Brother Lobby." Niu Shi directly said the answer: "I'm talking about Brother Jian'er's family affairs, you see that his face is so thin, he is all red!" laughed as he spoke.

Qin Jian blushed and protested weakly: "Third uncle and grandmother know how to laugh at me. Looking at Qin Hanzhen, "Even the third sister made fun of me!"

Qin Hanzhen winked at him: "Forgive me, you are treated like this everywhere now." A young talent of the right age, with such a character, such a family background, and such a talent, which wife and grandmother see it and don't want to be a matchmaker for you? Anyway, we didn't pull the red line for you? Otherwise, you won't be able to sit still. ”

Qin Jian was extremely helpless, but being teased by his relatives was better than being in front of outsiders, as Qin Hanzhen said, the third uncle and grandmother would never tell him which girl was suitable, and he could say it without scruples if he had opinions and ideas. He rolled his eyes at his third cousin, then moved the melon seeds and fruit plate in his hand to his eldest aunt Qin Youzhen, so that she could take it, picked a few melon seeds by himself, and swallowed silently.

Qin Youzhen's thoughts were a little complicated, she silently glanced at her careful and considerate nephew, sighed secretly in her heart, then smiled, and spoke to the Niu family: "Brother Jian'er's character is rare in the capital, it is rare for him to have such a family background, and he is so filial and courteous, he reads well, and he is handsome, I really don't know which daughter will be cheaper." No wonder the aunt and the second siblings are worried about his family affairs, can't they be picky?"

Qin Jian protested weakly: "Auntie, why are you also making fun of your nephew?"

Qin Youzhen covered her mouth and smiled: "Where can I be? I'm just telling the truth, when did I make fun of you?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right, we're all telling the truth, telling the truth!"

Qin Jian sighed, simply closed his eyes in resignation, got up and said, "I'll go to the study and take a look, the third uncle and Guanglu don't know what they're doing." "I couldn't bear it, so I ran away.

Qin Hanzhen saw him fleeing in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I actually scared the lobby brothers away, I'm embarrassed." I'll ask someone to bring some refreshments to the study, and then send a plate of melon seeds to Brother Lobby, and ask him not to hate my sister. "Take the opportunity to get rid of the golden cicada and go to the study to see Zhao Mo.

Ahem, and his own grandfather.

Niu Shi said repeatedly: "There is fresh lily white fungus soup today, ask someone to send them a bowl too." These days are dry and easy to get angry, so let them moisten their throats too. ”

Qin Hanzhen went in response. Niu Shi turned his head again and said to Qin Youzhen with a smile: "You also eat a bowl, this weather is the most moisturizing." Your uncles and sisters also often eat bird's nest now, I said that bird's nest is so expensive, where can I eat it every day? Lily white fungus is also excellent, and it is cheap and affordable. ”

Qin Youzhen is now accustomed to the third aunt Niu's style, which is a little childish in the royal family's circle, but she doesn't feel anything. The Lu family is not a wealthy family, she has been in office with her husband for more than ten years, so it is naturally impossible for her to still eat and dress as fine as when she was a daughter in the Chengenhou Mansion in Beijing, and in some cases, lily white fungus is already considered a luxury.

Qin Youzhen now has something in her heart, because the Niu family is usually more aggressive, and she is not defensive against her family, she has eaten lily white fungus, so she pulled the Niu family to chat about the topics she cared about: "I just heard my aunt talk about Brother Jian'er's family affairs, although I haven't heard anything accurate in Dongfu, but I don't mean it...... Does the aunt intend to marry the Xu family's sister-in-law to be the eldest granddaughter-in-law?"

Niu Shi snorted: "The eldest sister-in-law naturally thinks about it, but apart from the eldest sister-in-law herself, who is willing to do it in this family? The other people in the Xu family are just the old woman in his family's room, what kind of attitude does she have? She thinks that her own family is a great famous family? Counting on our Qin family to survive, she is actually embarrassed to dislike our children. Brother Jian loves Jinhua girl so much, that old woman looks down on Jinhua girl so much, Brother Jian won't marry her granddaughter!"

Niu Shi spit out Mrs. Xu, and then said: "If you don't mention that old woman, Sister Xiu of the Xu family is not bad, but it is not very good. You also said just now, Brother Jian's family background is handsome, talented, and has a good character, if you can't find him a perfect daughter-in-law, we who are elders will also feel aggrieved, right?"

When Qin Youzhen heard this, her heart was half cold. Aside from Mrs. Xu, although Xu Xiu's conditions are not good, regardless of her father's official position, in terms of family background and grandfather's official position, it seems that she is not much worse than Lu Yueniang. Xu Xiu is still the niece and granddaughter of the Xu family, if this relationship is not enough to support her to become the granddaughter-in-law of the Qin family, then how can her daughter Lu Yueniang get into the eyes of the Xu family and the Yao family by virtue of her second daughter's affection raised in front of the mother of the long-term house?

Qin Youzhen took a deep breath and continued to smile and probe: "It's normal for an aunt to want to kiss and kiss. Although the Xu family's sister Xiu'er is not the best, she knows the roots, and she grew up with Brother Jian from a young age, which is better than being hired from outside, and she has been affectionate for many years, so it is easier to get along. If it weren't for Mrs. Xu's confusion, this family business would be good. In fact, if it weren't for the defeat of the Wang family and the lack of a suitable girl for the Yao family, Sister Xiu'er would have been a good candidate. ”

Niu said: "Brother Jian'er and his mother used to fight the idea of the Wang family, but it was not to marry his daughter as a daughter-in-law, because the age is not right, but she wants to marry the Jinhua girl, or use the relationship of the Wang family to find one of the prominent in-laws in their family, and now there is naturally no need to mention it." Several sisters of the Yao family were also born well, but now they are at the right age, and their family background is weaker. Brother Jian'er and his mother even dislike Sister Xiu, let alone the girl of the Yao family. But in front of her niece and nephew, she naturally wouldn't show that face. ”

Qin Youzhen asked, "I heard that Youyi once told Brother Jian about a family affair some time ago?"

Niu hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't mention it, that thing will definitely not work." Don't ask that, you live in Dongfu, can you still not hear the wind? You should know which girl it is, and why do you ask this?"

Qin Youzhen said a little embarrassedly: "I know in my heart, but I just think that if there were no things that came out later, the daughter of Xihou Mansion in this town...... and Brother Jian can also be called a good match. ”

Niu Shi said disappreciatively: "How can there be so many ifs in the world? Even if Miss Su doesn't have a personal relationship with that clan gentleman, she will not be able to do this family business if she rushes to the attitude of the Xihou couple towards our family." Youyi just thought about it too well, thinking that the two families could really get close to each other. But if you think about it, she has been a daughter-in-law in the Su family for more than ten years, her husband and children, none of them have done anything badly, and she has not even returned to her mother's house, and the two of Zhenxihou have not looked at her as a good daughter-in-law, and they are a little polite to her maternal uncle, and if they marry a daughter-in-law from the Su family and come back, they will not have a good face for our family. Zhenxihou was recalled to the capital to recuperate from his injuries, which was the emperor's grace and his wife's request for our help. Our family helped, it was our kindness, and the two of them disagreed, so they discussed it at home by themselves, and what is it to be angry with us outsiders? That kind of white-eyed wolf, marrying with their family, is just a waste of a good child, why bother? The girl in his family is not so good that she is unique, why should she be wronged by Brother Jane to look at people with a cold face?"

Niu's opinion of Zhenxihou is very big, that is, now that he knows that he has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed, he is more pitiful, so he didn't say that he was wrong in front of outsiders, but it was still quite polite to talk to his family in private.

Qin Youzhen didn't care about the affairs of the Zhenxi Hou Mansion, she just smiled dryly, and said: "Yes, it is indeed a good family affair that is right for the family, but if the elders are not reliable, the family affairs will not be done." Always think about the children. After a pause, he added, "It's not that there are no other princes' mansions in the capital, who doesn't have a daughter yet?"

Niu said: "What does it have to do with the family? Brother Jian can't only marry a girl from the prince's family. In fact, as long as the girl is good, her appearance, temperament, and conduct can match Brother Jian'er, and her family background is secondary. Really speaking, Brother Jian has no title to attack, and it may not be bad to take the imperial examination in the future and marry a girl from a scholarly family. If it is for the sake of the family, marrying a prince daughter who does not like it, wouldn't Brother Jian be too pitiful in this life? As elders, we must always think long-term for our children. ”

Qin Youzhen's heart trembled, and she agreed with Niu's words, but she didn't dare to have extravagant ideas. Niu is the elder in the next room, and he has never had much to do, even if he has such extraordinary knowledge, he will not be of much help to his calculations. The key is still on the Xu family and the Yao family......

Who knew that the next Niu family said to Qin Youzhen: "Your family Yueniang is also excellent, sensible, steady, and well-born." Among the relatives and friends who often come and go, I think your Yue Niang is the best. It's a pity that her blood relationship with Brother Jian is closer, otherwise wouldn't it be a good marriage? But don't worry, Yue Niang's good can be seen by others, and there will definitely be good people who don't care about the family to come to ask for marriage in the future. ”

Qin Youzhen's face changed slightly, and she just smiled dryly and thanked the Niu family for her praise to her daughter, but she was shocked in her heart.

She is the daughter of the second room, Qin Jian is the grandson of the long house, her daughter is not the head of the same house as Qin Jian, and the grandfathers of the two are half-brothers, such a blood relationship...... Did Niu see something and deliberately use this as an excuse to appease her?

But in any case, this kind of excuse is always much more comfortable than talking about the family, family background, and appearance......
