Chapter 116: I was reluctant to marry my daughter far away, so I moved with me!
The old couple of the Xu family were very enthusiastic about marrying the Sheng family, and after beating their grandson, they went to the study together to write a letter - of course, it was impossible for them to question whether Sheng Weiqiao's conduct was really as problematic as Xu Baomo said, after all, this girl was guaranteed by the old lady Sheng who spit and nailed, in contrast, how could they believe what their grandson said with flowers and grasses?
Therefore, this letter is mainly a side-by-side attack on whether his grandson showed behaviors and remarks that were not suitable for being a son-in-law to others during his time in the Sheng family?
"If there is, we have to hurry up and try to round him; if he really can't do it, we can beat him up again and press him to go to the Sheng family to plead guilty! Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" Old Madam Xiahou said, "Otherwise, how can you expect to marry a girl from the Sheng family?"
Old Marquis Xu thought so.
Then at the end of the letter, I deliberately cared about the whole story of the Ao family's visit again: the old lady of the Ao family and the old marquis Xu were colleagues back then, and the twists and turns of Sheng Ao's marriage The Xu family knew that the old marquis Xu had always hated the Bai family who had never seen it.
Now that the Bai family is dead, the Ao family has finally entered the Sheng family again, this is definitely good news for the old Marquis Xu, even if he didn't inquire about his grandson's performance in the Sheng family, he would definitely write a letter to ask what happened.
…… A few days later, the messenger entered the city of Nanfeng County, dismounted and knocked in front of the gate of the Shengfu to explain his intention.
When the Sheng family heard that it was Ning Weihou's father, he hurriedly invited someone to enter the house, went to the side hall to serve tea, and followed him into the house to make a statement - although the person who came had already explained that he had brought a letter from the old lady Xu to the old lady Sheng, but because the old lady Sheng had not recovered from his illness, in order to avoid the old man being stimulated by the illness again, Sheng Lanci had privately instructed that all matters related to the old lady during this period of time should be reported to the big house first.
And Sheng Lanci basically patrols outside during the day, and it is the Feng family who is in charge of the house.
When Feng Shi heard this, he immediately became nervous: "Calculate the time, the Xu family kid just went back, and the old marquis Xu wrote a letter!
――Since listening to her daughter's secretive disclosure that day, she has been in love with Xu Baomo, and Feng's mood has not been good!
Because Sheng Weiqiao is only thirteen years old this year, Feng originally held the hope that after Xu Baomo left, with the passage of time, his daughter would gradually fade this feeling.
When the time comes, she often calls Feng Zhiyi to the Sheng family, and meets her daughter every now and then, maybe her daughter doesn't need to marry far away!
As a result, it has only been a few days, and before she has time to pick up her nephew at her parents' house, a letter from the Xu family has come - if this is really to discuss family affairs with Mrs. Sheng, isn't her only daughter destined to be unable to stay by her side?!
Thinking of this, Feng's eyes flashed with determination, and he said to his subordinates: "You told the person who came that Daddy is sick and it is inconvenient to see him in person." Let him give you the letter, you bring it to me, and when my father wakes up, I will show it to his old man!"
He also said, "Because of my father's illness, I'm afraid that it will take two days to reply to the letter, so leave that person to stay in the house, remember to be polite, and treat him as a guest!"
The subordinate bowed down and went to the side hall to convey Feng's meaning - the messenger knew that Old Lady Sheng was really not doing well these days, and the Sheng family had always been the head of the big house, so he handed over the letter without hesitation.
Half an hour later, Feng Shi took the letterhead stamped with the private seal of the old marquis Xu, and walked into the empty inner room alone with a solemn expression!
According to Feng's idea, under the pretense of delivering the letterhead for his father-in-law, he quietly opened the letter and looked at it - if the letter did not mention the relatives, then it was naturally best to seal it back as it was, turn it back to the father-in-law, and let the father-in-law reply to the letter himself, that is!
But if this letter was indeed written for the marriage between Xu Baomo and Sheng Weiqiao, then she could only forge a letter of rejection, and then get another fake letter and take it to her father-in-law!
Although this move may be exposed at any time, as long as the daughter's marriage with the Xu family can be severed, even if she is punished or even disgusted by her father-in-law in the future, the Feng family will admit it!
But when it was really time to open the letter, Feng Shi compared it for a long time, but she always felt that she couldn't do it - she couldn't care about her father-in-law's anger, but what about her daughter Sheng Weiqiao's thoughts?
If her daughter recognizes Xu Baomo and doesn't marry him, then even if she does this now, she may not be able to stop this family business, maybe it will ruin the mother-daughter friendship because of this!
Thinking that he went out by chance and looked at Sheng Lanci back then, didn't the Feng family oppose it because Mrs. Ming was only Sheng Lanci's stepmother, not her own mother, out of fear of disputes in the back house?
At that time, the Feng family, like Sheng Weiqiao, was favored by her family, and her arrogance and willfulness were even higher than the current Sheng Weiqiao, and it was really the more the family opposed her, the more insistent she was - the current world repaid quickly, and now it was her turn to feel the mood of the Feng family back then!
After hesitating for a long time, Feng finally put down the letter: "Hengzhu has already asked someone to stay in the mansion for a few days and wait for my father-in-law's condition to improve before replying to the letter, why should I be in a hurry? After my husband comes back, it is not too late to discuss and make a decision!"
She was absent-minded about what she did next that day, and when the sun was a little slanting, she couldn't help but send someone out to find Sheng Lanci and ask him to come back early.
Sheng Lanci thought that something had happened at home, so she hurriedly returned, and when she saw her wife take out the letter and explain what had happened, she couldn't help frowning!
On the issue of his son-in-law, he and Feng have different ideas:
Feng only asks his daughter to marry him, and other situations are easy to say, and although Sheng Lanci also hopes that her daughter can still see each other from time to time after leaving the cabinet, she is really unwilling to let her daughter marry a mediocre person!
So between Feng Zhiyi, who was recommended by his wife, and Xu Baomo, who was favored by Mrs. Sheng, Sheng Lanci has always been a little wavering.
Originally, he planned to wait for this period to be busy and analyze and consider this problem, who knew that the plan would not catch up with the changes, not only did his daughter have made a clear relationship with Xu Baomo in private, but now the Xu family is suspected of proposing while the iron is hot - Rao is Sheng Lanci has always been unsurprised, and at this moment he can't help but feel caught off guard!
After pacing back and forth in the room for a moment with his hands behind his back, he finally stood on his feet and made up his mind: "Let's not open this letter in private!"
Feng Shi hurriedly said: "How can I be willing to do the thing of spying on the elders' letterheads? But if Old Marquis Xu's letter was really written for the sake ......of the relatives, my father will definitely agree!
"Dad always values our room, the obedient girl is our only daughter, and my father is in favor of giving the obedient girl to the kid of the Xu family, and it is impossible not to discuss it with us, so he will make a decision directly. Sheng Lanci shook her head and said, "So even if Uncle Xu directly mentioned in the letter this time that he wanted to marry a good girl for the Xu family's boy, there is no room for mediation!"
"But the Xu family kid is going to Chang'an sooner or later!!" Feng couldn't help but cry, "We are just such a daughter, can you bear to raise her until she is ten years old and leaves the pavilion, and she will never see each other again?!"
She knew that her husband was in the knot of choosing a son-in-law, and she would complain, "My dowry and the family business you have saved are enough for a good girl and her children to live a carefree life for a few lifetimes! So why do you have to force the talents of your future son-in-law? What's wrong with an honest and loyal child like Zhiyi!"
"I originally thought that Zhiyi's child was good, but the recent events in our family have made me feel that my future son-in-law is too incompetent and really uneasy!" Sheng Lanci was silent for a while, patted his wife's shoulder and arm, and sighed, "Look at the second brother and the third brother - back then, they couldn't serve their father and mother, and they couldn't take care of the ancestral business, so I can only return to my hometown!" Over the years, although we have treated them well, once there is a conflict, we feel that their approach has affected us, and it is just a matter of moving to let them out of this house!
"The reason why Sanfang can still be in this mansion is because the third brother and the third brother and sister are quite honest and haven't made trouble for us! Otherwise, one day we will ask them to leave, do you think it will be difficult?"
Sheng Lanci's eyes floated with gloom, "Do you want to be obedient and live like your second brother and sister or third brother and sister in the future?!"
"The future son-in-law is not talented, not only is it not the problem of not being able to bring the good girl great wealth and wealth, but even the good girl has no face and no status!"
When Feng Shi heard this, he couldn't help but be struck by lightning - the reason why Sheng Weiqiao is recognized as the pearl of the palm of the entire Sheng family is not because she is beautiful, let alone because she is exquisite, but purely because she is the daughter of Sheng Lanci and his wife, and she is deeply loved by her parents!
In addition, she is also the niece of the old lady of the Xuan Yu family, and the only granddaughter of the Feng family, so her status in the Sheng family will be different!
In other words, she has a unique position in the entire Nanfeng County - otherwise, why did the Han clan send someone ashore to take her hostage?!
In the future, all the elders who were relied on by Sheng Weiqiao will be gone, and when Sheng Weiqiao can only rely on her husband and children, if her husband is not capable......
Thinking of Bai's jealousy that he couldn't hide when he was alive, and the occasional envy and amazement between Xiao's words and demeanor - Feng only felt like waking up from a dream, and said abruptly: "But the obedient woman has a simple temperament, how can we rest assured after marrying far away?!"
"Daddy is fifty-five. Sheng Lanci held her hand, sat down on the soft collapse under the west window, and whispered, "Although we should be old and strong, we are not younger than us after all! If it weren't for serving my father, why would you and I stay in Sangzi all the time? Our family's business is not only in the county! Not to mention that even if there is no place where our family's business is, we can't stand up if we are embarrassed?"
――Back then, he was able to give up his good career and return to his hometown for the sake of Mrs. Sheng, and in the future, Mrs. Sheng will be gone, why can't the couple follow in the footsteps of their daughter and son-in-law and continue to shelter their daughter from the wind and rain?!
Feng Shi suddenly brightened, couldn't help clapping his hands, and said in a low voice: "I'm really dizzy! Why didn't I think about it earlier, if she wasn't in Nanfeng County after she left the pavilion, it would be inconvenient to come back to see us, we could follow her and live near her!"
Thinking like this, Feng suddenly lost the idea of opening the letter and doing tricks, but felt that Xu Baomo was very pleasing to the eye, "That kid has a good appearance, a good temperament, and it is said that he is also a good learner! He can have such an achievement at his age, it is really quite outstanding! He is the only grandson of the Xu family's generation, and he has officially been crowned the son of the world-as long as he is sincere and obedient, presumably our daughter will never be wronged in the future!"
Then he was worried, "But although the old marquis Xu has a good relationship with his father, his son has become a marquis after all, and I don't know what he thinks about the lintel of our house?"
"Not to mention my father's kindness to the Xu family's father and son, I have also entered the Hanlin Academy. Sheng Lan laughed and said, "Even if Zhishi has been in office for many years, the official title given by the imperial court is only five grades, but Hanlin is noble and noble, and it can't be underestimated by low grade, just with our family's property, the Xu family is a high-ranking family that has only three generations, why should you look down on it?!"
He is telling the truth, don't look at the Xu family is the Hou family, the Hou of Ningwei worships the squire of the military department, and he has thrown off the eight streets of the Sheng family in terms of official position and power, but in terms of financial resources, I am afraid that the ten Xu families are not as good as the Sheng family!
This is not to say that Ning Weihou is as honest as water, has a high demeanor, and is unwilling to use his power for personal gain to improve the life of his family - then Xu Baomo will not be able to go in and out of Fengyue places, and he can't even afford to learn his talents - the main reason is that the Xu family has a poor background, and the old Marquis Xu joined the army for food when he was young, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his family is surrounded by four walls.
After that, Ning Weihou relied on his military merits to be promoted all the way quickly, but it was precisely because of the fast promotion and the large number of people who were red-eyed, in order to prevent him from following in the footsteps of General Zhou, he didn't dare to make mistakes at all, not to mention corruption and bribery, and he had to weigh empty salaries and secretly hide war spoils!
Then their family did not have such a talent as Sheng Lanci, and the two generations of the old lady Xiahou and the Nan family were also from humble backgrounds, and they never brought rich makeup from their mother's family into the door. Therefore, the Xu family seems to be a wealthy family now, but in fact, in addition to the expenses of maintaining the scene, it is estimated that they will not be able to save anything all year round.
This is still Ning Weihou is still in power, in addition to Yulu, he can be rewarded by the palace during the New Year, which can subsidize the family. Once he loses power, even if the title is still there, it is estimated that the entire Xu family will have to reduce their expenses, so as not to fall into a situation where they cannot make ends meet!
After all, in the current class of the Xu family, not to mention their own expenses every year, just the exchange of favors, the annual tribute of the queen mother, the emperor, and the favorite concubine is a huge expenditure - and this expenditure cannot be reduced and cannot be reduced.
Therefore, a daughter-in-law with a rich dowry is definitely not light for the Xu family!
Thinking of this, Feng Shi stretched his eyebrows and muttered: "In this way, I originally thought that the second and third rooms were not good at business, so I could give them more things, but the obedient girl also needs to make up for herself, so let's do it according to the rules at that time!"
How can the brother-in-law compare with his daughter?
Sheng Lan smiled and raised the letter in his hand: "Dad hasn't read it yet, and it may not be the one who is discussing relatives." If not, anyway, the good girl is still young, let's think about it again! There are more good men in the world, and the good girl may not necessarily marry the Xu family!"
After the couple figured it out, because it was getting late at this time, they settled first.
Early the next morning, they arrived at the Forbidden Snow Hall in a relaxed manner, just when the old lady Sheng was awake, and heard that the old marquis Xu had written a letter, counting the days, and he also said "Huh": "Humo that kid just went back, and Lao Xu wrote a letter? Isn't it related to our Qiao'er?"
The old lady opened the letter with a smile, "Could it be that kid is so impatient, Qiao Er is only thirteen years old and wants to marry someone? What a dream! Lao Tzu is such a granddaughter, why should he stay in front of him for another three or two years and then let him out!"
Sheng Lanci and his wife also laughed: "Dad take a look first, maybe it's something else?"
Then the old lady looked at the two lines, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became thicker and thicker-Lao Zheng suddenly frowned and walked in: "Old lady, old man, big lady, there is someone making trouble at the door!"
The families raised by the Sheng family are not dry meals, and when they make trouble, the disciples will deal with it, so that they don't need to report to the Forbidden Snow Hall immediately.
The problem is, "The troublemaker is a woman with a Cangwu County accent, who claims to be a maid who serves Xu Shizi a few years ago, and was accepted by Xu Shizi as a room a few years ago, and recently because Xu Shizi planned to marry our second lady, he cleaned up the backyard and sent her out." That's why she came to our door and knelt down, wanting to ask the second lady for a grace, so that she could continue to serve Xu Shizi as a maid in the future!"
As soon as the words fell, the faces of the three masters in the room were all pale with anger!!
