Chapter 262: Xu Caikui's marriage
This celebration is not only because Sheng Weiqiao and the others finally moved back, but also because the subordinates sent by the Hou Mansion to Xiazhou to discuss the wedding with Xu Caikui's future husband's family brought back a good news: "The in-laws are in good health, and they are likely to enter the court after the year!"
Xu Caikui's fiancé Wu Yanyi is the only son of Wu Ying, the current assassin in Xiazhou.
This Wu Ying is also from a poor family, and his family background is not as good as Xu Zijing, but he got ahead by studying, and he was ranked first and won the ranking of the list. It's just that it was too easy to rise to prominence in the early years, and he was a little reckless when he was young, and he accidentally offended the Meng family, so that he was assigned to be a parent official in a border town in northern Xinjiang...... The town was often invaded by Ruru at that time, and the local officials either died in battle, or fled in fear of the battle and were beheaded by the imperial court.
Fortunately, Xu Zijing had just emerged at that time, and Ruru, who had been killed, was defeated one after another, and he was unable to attack, so he indirectly saved Wu Ying's future and the life of his family.
Wu Ying was very grateful to Xu Zijing, let go of the literati's usual high school, and introduced him as a confidant, not to mention, the two families became a good family because of their frequent contacts.
Later, when Xu Zijing returned to the court, Wu Ying learned his own lesson and gave him ideas.
…… Because of the deep friendship between the two, during a drink, Xu Zijing saw that Wu Ying's only son Wu Yanyi was clever and cute, so he joked that it was better to marry a child. Originally, he was sent back to Cangwu County just because his son Xu Baomo was an infant and handed over to his grandparents to raise, but the parents couldn't see it, and when they saw Wu Yanyi, they inevitably felt sick for their children and said it casually.
After all, the dynasty continued the atmosphere of the previous dynasty, that is, after the founding of the country passed a few years, it gradually became a light on the civil and noble and the military.
This is an inevitable measure for the imperial power to be afraid of the threat of military power, so before the old marquis Xu said that Xu Zijing is not as good as Sheng Lanci, although it is to please the old lady Sheng's exaggerated rhetoric, in fact, there is nothing wrong in terms of broad status.
Jinshi who has entered Hanlin will be respected wherever he goes, and his children will also be stained, but a marquis who has made a name for himself by relying on real military achievements, when he encounters the kind of person who believes that "everything is inferior, only the study is high", he may be ridiculed as a "reckless man".
Although Wu Ying was born in poverty, his qualifications are there. Although he and his wife had several children, they died one after another, but only one Wu Yanyi survived, naturally very favored, according to the current concept, how should he marry a scholarly lady.
However, Xu Zijing said that forget it, but when he turned around, Wu Ying specially sent a silver hairpin that his wife married to the house, although the silver hairpin was not worth much, but Wu Ying and his wife had already said that they would leave it to their daughter-in-law, and the intention was self-evident.
At that time, Xu Zijing was not a marquis, just an ordinary general in Northern Xinjiang, although Wu Ying was suppressed by the Meng family, firstly, he was born in the list, and secondly, his means of governing were really good, if there was no accident, he would be promoted to the court sooner or later, so Xu Zijing and his wife felt that this family business was a bit high, and they specially took the silver hairpin to explain and planned to return it.
I don't want Wu Ying's attitude to be very resolute, and Wu Yanyi looks like a well-behaved and filial person, so this family affair has been decided...... Originally, because Xu Zijing and his wife were reluctant to have their daughter, they planned to let Xu Caikui raise them at home for another two years before leaving the cabinet, but at the end of last year, Wu Ying suddenly fell ill, worried that she would not be able to hold her daughter-in-law through the door, delaying the youth of the younger generations, so she sent someone to discuss with the Xu family, hoping to advance the marriage date, so it was set in April this year.
Now I heard that he is in good health, although the wedding date that has been set will not be changed, but the Xu family is still very happy, after all, not to mention Wu Ying's friendship with Xu Zijing, Xu Zijing must hope that he will live a long and healthy life;
Xu Zijing and his wife will not regret their marriage, but parents always hope that their children will be well. At this time, I heard that Wu Ying is not only very good, but also has the opportunity to enter the court, how can I not be happy?
The Nan family knew that Sheng Weiqiao and the three didn't know much about the Wu family, so he specially introduced: "When we came to Chang'an a few years ago, I still regretted this family business! After all, we were sure to settle down in Chang'an at that time, and we couldn't go anywhere else when we were free. Although this place is not far from Chang'an, it can not be said that the mountains and rivers are far away, but it takes a few days to come and go. I have just two daughters, Cai Kwai is not a smart person, how can I rest assured if I marry far away? Fortunately, God blesses, Cai Kwai will be out of the cabinet in April, and next year the in-laws will enter the court, and they will just bring their little couple to Chang'an, not to mention let her come back often for reunions, which is close at hand, and my heart is also more stable!"
"Don't say that! What is the situation in Brother Wu Xian's family?" Xu Zijing was unhappy when he heard this, and couldn't help but argue, "This virtuous brother is the most virtuous, but, didn't you always praise him for being clean and self-conscious, just like Brother Shengshi, he was born in a rich family but is not confused by wealth and beauty, and he looks like a decent family? Even if he didn't return to the court, Cai Kui became his daughter-in-law, is it difficult to be afraid that the Wu family will treat her badly?"
Nan said abruptly: "Did I say that the Wu family is not good?! I said that I don't worry about my daughter marrying far away! A good child, growing so big in front of me, the same flowers, it is difficult to see it again when you leave the pavilion, are you willing to do it?! You have no conscience, I can't bear to !! bastard things, and I just say that I suspect the Wu family for no reason?! Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, otherwise it would have spread out, and the Wu family would have heard about it, and I would have caused trouble for my daughter! You old man didn't have long ears and didn't hear it, or did he have long ears and didn't hear clearly?!"
Hearing this, Xu Zijing immediately lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "That's what I said, don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry......"
"Look at your confused appearance, you didn't call Qiao'er their jokes!" Nan's habitual frenzy was finished, and when he looked up and saw the embarrassed expressions of Sheng Weiqiao and the others, he came to his senses and quickly covered it up, "Qiao'er, you try this red sheep cane hoof, this season is the most nourishing to eat sheep!"
"Thank you, auntie!" Sheng Weiqiao was polite to her, and secretly wondered: I remember the year before last...... No, the year before last, when Xu hugged Mo to take her, he once said that Xu Caikui's husband's family suddenly became indifferent to the Xu family, and they were worried that this family affair would change, so they wanted to ask her opinion.
Sheng Weiqiao, who was still naïve and ignorant at that time, didn't expect that this was Xu Baomo, who should be beaten, deliberately tricked her to confirm her nature, and said the truth without thinking about it...... It's far away, in short, looking at Xu Zijing's words and appearance with the Nan family now, it seems that nothing like this has happened at all?
Or was it just a misunderstanding at the time, and then I was relieved after explaining it?
"Of course, there is a possibility, that is, Xu Baomo's guy just casually fabricated and lied to me! This bastard !!" Sheng Wei Qiao thought to himself, "After he finishes the exam, it's best not to touch me alone! Otherwise, see how I beat him!!"
…… When a group of people in the Ningwei Hou Mansion were staggered, the imperial city.
Xinshou Palace, side hall.
Meng Biyun looked at the person sitting next and frowned slightly: "I'll go back to the house tomorrow...... What are you doing coming to me now?"
Mrs. Xiang was displeased: "What are you talking about? It's hard for me to miss you as a mother-in-law, so I came to see you...... Still wrong?!"
"At this time, the palace gate has been locked, and in a little while, there will be a curfew on the street. Meng Biyun said with no expression on her face, "Using the connections you have saved over the years when you were a female official for your aunt, as well as your aunt's affection for you so far, sneaking into the palace just to see me?"
There was actually no irony in her tone, or rather, her tone was surprisingly calm, and she didn't have any emotions at all, but when Mrs. Xiang listened, her face was red and white, she opened her mouth slightly, and stiffened for a while before she muttered embarrassedly: "We are the mother and daughter of the mother, why do you have to talk to your mother like this?"
"What the hell is going on?" Meng Biyun didn't answer, and asked calmly, "I've stayed with my aunt for so long this time, and after I return home, many people will definitely come to visit." You don't want me to sleep too late tonight to have the energy to greet everyone tomorrow, but you'd better have something to say......! There's no need to be verbose, no one will take it seriously anyway!"
Mrs. Xiang felt that what she said was too harsh, and instinctively wanted to refute: "It's not because my mother doesn't feel sorry for you at the beginning......"
However, when it touched the mockery and impatience in her daughter's eyes, she still shrank her head and made a straightforward request, "Although Jiaoyu and Meng Lijiang's two cheap maids are dead, that little beast is still alive!"
There was a clear hatred between her eyebrows, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Your father, this will be more and more protective of that little beast!! do you know?
"Why did he go to your yard to make trouble?" However, Meng Biyun didn't mean to share the same hatred as her, and only asked calmly.
"That little beast is the biological son of the delicate and cheap maid, and he sees our mother and son as a thorn in the flesh, he goes to spread wild for his mother's yard, and he needs a reason?!" Xiang frowned and said, "What do you mean by asking?
Meng Biyun snorted coldly: "Although Meng Si'an is affected by coquettish words, he likes to have nothing to do, but he is thirteen years old, and he is not a four or five-year-old child, and he can't look at his face! His own mother and sister are gone, and my sister-in-law, who has always been in trouble, is about to be the future, even if his father still hurts him now, it will plummet compared to before! If there is no reason, he will run to trouble you for no reason? It is the subordinate next to him, in order not to be involved, can he not pull a little?!"
There was a mockery in her eyes, "I think, eighty percent of the mother you deducted his share, or managed to stimulate him, the picture is to let him make trouble on the eve of my return home, and dispose of him justifiably, right?
Mrs. Xiang was a little annoyed and angry: "What are you talking about! I'm not doing this to avenge our mother-in-law?! I think at the beginning, when Jiaoyu was there, she joined forces with Meng Lijiang's little slut mother and daughter, how much anger did she give us? ! Meng Si'an, this little beast, is young, isn't he a demon who can be a demon?! Before, because of your father's partiality, our mother and wife can only endure it patiently, since you are out of the way...... How can you let this little beast continue to live in this world and still stain your light?!"
