Chapter 154: Selfishness
Second Mrs. Xue's expression was a little meaningful: "I see, the idea of the nephew of the long house must not have been discussed with her husband and mother-in-law, but she just made her own opinion." Her own mother may be cheeky to talk to her aunt because she feels sorry for her and her granddaughter, but this kind of obviously impossible thing, once she says it, she will offend people. Mrs. Gu's temperament really offended her, what good fruit can we eat?
Second Grandma Xue was a little confused: "What does Mrs. mean...... Don't you ask a few of our children in the second room to come forward......? But didn't you always say in the past that Sister Yi is the daughter of the Houmen, if you can marry back to our family, our children will not have to worry about the future of their lives......?
Mrs. Xue hated the iron and slapped her daughter-in-law's head with the fan in her hand: "Confused things! This time, that time, don't you understand? Not to mention whether Mrs. Gu will agree, even if she is confused again, with this kind of thought, we must persuade her to dispel her idea." Jinyi girl is the daughter of the Houmen, even if the family is divided now, Mrs. Gu's family can only be regarded as a six-grade official family, Bofu is still the queen's nephew, and Jinyi is still the queen's niece and granddaughter. With such an identity, even if the reputation is a little worse, and you can't marry those first-class princes' mansions, it's still okay to choose a second-class family. The big families in the capital refuse to come to the door to propose marriage, so there are no big families outside Beijing who don't know the bottom?"
Second Mrs. Xue leaned back on the pillow behind her and smiled meaningfully: "Even if you find an official eunuch such as a governor, a political envoy, or a prefect to marry, it is better than marrying back to our Xue family." If this family affair can't be done, we are still the closest relatives of Mrs. Gu's family, and we can also take advantage of the family affairs of the Jinyi girl to catch up with the future in-laws, maybe a few of our own children can also climb a good family and keep a good future......? Waste!"
Second Grandma Xue understood what her mother-in-law meant. Second Mrs. Xue's words also made sense, but this kind of truth, didn't her mother-in-law know before? At that time, she didn't say that, but she was bent on letting her grandson marry Qin Jinyi. Now that the club has changed its mind, most of it is because Mrs. Gu's family is not as good as it used to be, right? After splitting up from the Hou Mansion, and offending the two heads of the long room and the third room, even Aunt Fu and Grandma Fu refused to follow, and Mrs. Gu's family really only had the false name of a royal family left. There are no holy dependents, and there is no word in the East Palace, so what are the queen's nephews and nieces and nephews talking about? That is, they are deceiving foreign officials who don't know the inside story. There are almost a lot of big families in the capital, how many of them can look up to them?
Xue Er's grandmother suddenly felt that her son could find a more practical family affair, and it should still be possible to find the daughter of an official eunuch on the boundary around Jinling in the name of the second in-law of the Qin family. Although it doesn't sound as decent as Houmen's daughter, it is more affordable.
So she smiled and said to her mother-in-law, "Madame's words are reasonable. To be honest, Sister Yi'er has a noble background, and there is nothing to say about appearance and style, and it is good to learn. It's just her temper...... It's too big. Our children, pampered since childhood, may not be able to withstand Sister Yi's temper, but it is better for the sons and brothers with better family backgrounds to endure it. ”
Second Mrs. Xue glanced at her daughter-in-law: "Poor mouth! Don't let the people in the long house hear this." The eldest sister-in-law can't stand others talking about her precious granddaughter like this. When you turn around, you will write to Jinyi's mother and her mother, saying that there is a long house on it, and you dare not specialize in beauty, and besides, several children in our family have already begun to discuss marriage. After that, you can persuade her a few more words and tell her not to be anxious. In two years, it may not be the current situation, maybe there will be a turnaround in the future? In short, don't let her misunderstand that we are disgusting Jinyi girl. ”
Second Grandma Xue smiled knowingly and nodded: "Don't worry, Mrs., everything is wrapped up in me!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already forgotten the letter sent by Xiao Huang.
At this moment, Xiao Xue's family in the capital did not know that his mother's relatives were disgusting his biological daughter, and he had already dispelled the idea of getting married. She is now busy mediating the quarrel between her two daughters, and her head is too anxious.
The reason is just because Qin Jinyi took a fancy to Qin Jinchun's two newly acquired materials and wanted to use them to make new summer clothes, but Qin Jinchun refused to let them.
She said angrily: "This is the material that the second sister specially gave me, and I said that I would make it into exactly the same clothes, and I would wear it together when the Xiuning Palace held a lotus banquet." If it is given to the eldest sister, where can I find the same material? This is this year's tribute, specially rewarded by the palace, we only have a long house in our house, and we can't buy it outside, and there is nowhere to buy it with silver!"
Qin Jinyi was also so angry that her face flushed: "The little hooves are now proud, they can touch the light of the long house, and go to the lotus banquet in the palace, so they specially use words to laugh at me, right? No matter how stupid you are, no matter how bad your homework is, you won't even understand this truth, right?!"
Qin Jinchun rolled his eyes: "You use the principle of brotherhood and friendship to teach me a lesson, how can you have the face to rob your sister's things?
Qin Jinyi was so anxious that she stomped her feet and wanted to catch up, but was pulled by her mother: "Okay, it's just a piece of material, that is, the color is slightly more delicate." It's not that there is no similar clothing outside, let's just buy it again, why bother arguing with your sister? It was sent by the long house, indicating that it was for your sister, if you take it and make it and put it on, so that the people in the long house will see it, I don't know what to say. Your reputation will be under the penalty again!"
Qin Jinyi shook off her mother's hand and cried: "I know that you dislike me now, and feel that I have affected the reputation of the family. But what did I do wrong?!The family affairs of the Shu Wangfu are handled by my grandmother and father from beginning to end, and I just listen to the words of the elders. Even if you were afraid of the princess of Shu before, now she has long since died, and the whole family of the king of Shu may be unlucky at any time, I should have raised my eyebrows and was no longer trapped by gossip, but you still treat me as a plague, and I was not allowed to go out, but asked Jinchun to follow the long room to attend a palace banquet, and refused to give me even a piece of material, you are too partial!"
Qin Jinyi is now a sensitive time, and if a little thing doesn't go well, it will rise to the point where the whole family discriminates against her, crying like tears, and she is very sad.
Xiao Xue couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw it, but he hadn't forgotten his reason: "You said too much, when did the family dislike you? It's just that the gossip outside has not disappeared, so let you hide at home for a while." You are still young, after a year or two, who else outside remembers these things? As you said, the Shu Palace, maybe when it will be destroyed, even the princess of Shanyang rarely shows up in front of people now, and no one will be able to get along with you anymore. You will learn the rules at home for two years, and when you are done, you will appear in front of people beautifully, and others will naturally only praise you. ”
Qin Jinyi cried and said, "How dare I think about two years later? Now my family is enough to bury me." I've cut half of my summer clothes this summer. Grandmother is only holding the daughter of the Huang family who came from all over the world now, where can she take care of me? Even the new jewelry that she said would be given to me is cheaper than Huang Yiqiu. What kind of person is she on the brand? She is embarrassed to press on my head! Now even my own sister doesn't take me seriously. ”
Xiao Xue's heart was in a dilemma. The daily supply of Huang Yiqiu's family was personally watched by her mother-in-law Xue, and she couldn't intervene. Her daughter's share has been reduced, and she is also a little aggrieved, but her mother-in-law has spoken, what can she do?
However, in order to appease her daughter, she still made a promise: "I'll give you a few more pieces of jewelry with private silver, just pick what style you like." Stop crying and crying, so that your grandmother will hear it, and she will be angry again. ”
Qin Jinyi cried louder instead.
Xiao Xue's girl Cailuo was probing her brain outside the door, Xiao Xue's saw it, frowned, and walked out: "What's the matter?"
Cailuo whispered: "Mrs. called grandma over, saying that she had something important to order." Grandma, go quickly, it's very urgent over there. ”
Xiao Xue hesitated, looked back at his eldest daughter, and thought that Qin Jinyi had been crying for three days, and he would not let her be quiet if he stayed, so it was better to deal with the messenger from his mother-in-law's side first, so he turned around and went to Su Xinzhai.
Qin Jinyi watched her mother leave in disbelief, only to feel that she was really about to fall out of favor, so angry that she swept all the tea sets on the table to the ground, and then cried aggrievedly.
Xiao Xue came to the mother-in-law Xue's residence under the scorching sun, and saw that the expression on Xue's face seemed to be fine, not as if he was about to get angry, so he cautiously stepped forward and saluted: "Mrs. has something to tell her daughter-in-law?"
Xue Shi glanced at her: "Sister Yi is making trouble again, you can also take care of your daughter." It's a common thing to have a few gossips outside, so why bother with it? After two years, those people will naturally forget about it. I will pick another decent family affair for her at that time, even if it is not the prince's mansion, I will not bury her. She is noisy all day long, and if the people on the other side of the long house hear it, it will only ruin her reputation even more, what good will it do her?!"
Xiao Xue resignedly agreed. But she just responded, she never had a way to take her eldest daughter.
Xue didn't have the heart to say much now, and immediately turned to the topic: "Several palace people in our family who used to accompany the queen to marry into the palace are now practicing in Nianhui'an. If they are all in the long house, can they use the silver to buy one or two families?"
Xiao Xue didn't understand why she mentioned those old palace people: "Mrs. means ......"
Xue sneered: "Aunt Fu has always refused to answer my words, it seems that she is determined to stay in the Hou Mansion to enjoy her wealth, this is still her own grandmother, it can be seen that being a concubine is not a good thing! She thinks that if she refuses to go with us, I can't send the Huang family girl into the palace? As long as the emperor sees the girl of the Huang family and sees her face, are you afraid that the emperor will not be moved? Let's send a message to those people in the old palace, and think of sending the girl of the Huang family to Nianhui Nunnery. When the emperor went to the nunnery to worship the queen's mother, he saw the Huang family's girl, and this matter was done!"
