Chapter 444: Self-defeating Sheng Weirao
In fact, Mrs. Ming had already accepted her fate at this time, and the reason why Sheng Weirao would go to Feng Mansion to visit Sheng Weiqiao was also related to her.
But it's not that he wants to murder Rong Ruibin or Sheng Weiqiao or anything, but he wants to ask Sheng Weiqiao to introduce Sheng Weide to a family affair that is not under the Jiangnan Luo family.
Speaking of which, this is Sheng Weirao lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot, when Mrs. Ming was making a fuss before, she pleaded with Sheng Weide to pester Mrs. Sheng, wanting to know what happened?
It's just that Sheng Weide knelt in front of Mrs. Sheng for most of the day, but he was still sent away for nothing.
The confused Sheng Weirao personally went to her grandfather and begged several times before she was allowed to see Mrs. Ming, but unfortunately Mrs. Ming refused to explain the reason to her, and only pulled her tearful and distressed cooked duck and flew away.
Sheng Weirao also has some resentment towards Sheng Weide's marriage change, and regrets that she has no sister-in-law from a good background, because Sheng Weide himself is very obedient, but he does not have very strong emotions.
However, as Yi Shan said, she has been very grateful to Mrs. Ming in the past two years, and of course she is very concerned about this grandmother's attitude.
Seeing that her grandmother couldn't get over this hurdle no matter what, she enlightened her: "Actually, if this family business is gone, it will be gone!" Grandmother, you think, of course Miss Luo is from a good background, but it is not the Luo family that is the most prosperous and wealthy family in the world, right? When the eldest brother was in Chang'an before, because of his dignified appearance and quiet personality, he looked very reliable, and many people inquired about him in private! ”
"It's just that the eldest brother got engaged to Miss Luo's family, and then caught up with the Chang'an Rebellion, so there is no follow-up!"
"Now that the matter between the eldest brother and Miss Luo has not succeeded, do you know that it is not the fate of the eldest brother, and he has a relationship with the noble daughter of Chang'an?"
Mrs. Ming, who said this, was skeptical and said, "Is it true that so many people take a fancy to Weide? This kid has no problem with his heart, but he is a little honest! I think the people over there in Chang'an are very shrewd. You don't necessarily like him, do you? I was also in Chang'an before, why have I never heard anyone say it? ”
In fact, Mrs. Ming is not really unheard of someone who takes a fancy to Sheng Weide.
It's just that most of her family background can't satisfy her.
To put it simply, none of them can compare to the Luo family!
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so angry about this marriage change...... I was thinking about finding a better one for a long time.
After all, for Mrs. Ming, she hadn't even seen Miss Luo, and she insisted on this granddaughter-in-law, but it was better to insist on wanting the Luo family's in-laws.
"Grandmother, did you forget?" Sheng Weirao said, "How many families do you want to send your daughter to the door!" ”
Mrs. Ming just frowned: "That kind of people...... Are you also eligible to enter my Sheng family? ”
"Of course not." Sheng Weirao said, "We all know these people, but I'm talking about people that my grandmother doesn't know." Grandmother thought, that kind of small family, or the kind that has been broken, and plans to rub our family to maintain the family, will take the initiative to recommend their girls to the eldest brother regardless of their cheeks! For example, the Luo family, as well as those real high-ranking families in Chang'an, even if they fancy the eldest brother as their son-in-law, how can they rush to the door? ”
"It must be a side-knocking, a private hint...... At that time, when we went out, we were often asked euphemistically about the eldest brother, what else do you mean by asking this question well? ”
"It's just that at that time, my grandfather was already discussing the marriage with the Luo family, so we naturally didn't agree to anything."
"Probably people also know it in their hearts, so they won't mention it later!"
"So grandmother, you really don't need to be so sad at this time, you must know that the lost harvest of the mulberry elm, the eldest brother's family business is gone, who knows if there is a better one waiting for?"
"So who were the people at that time?" When Mrs. Ming heard this, her hope was rekindled, and she looked at Sheng Weirao expectantly, "You didn't go out much at that time, you must still have an impression?" Tell me about it? ”
Sheng Weirao was embarrassed when she heard this, because this was said to comfort Mrs. Ming, but in fact, there was no special high-ranking person who took a fancy to Sheng Weide.
This is not to say that Sheng Weide can't get into the eyes of those people...... After all, there are not just one or two girls in a high-ranking family, and the top-notch outstanding and favored ones are of course to be carefully selected to marry someone who stands out from the crowd.
The ordinary and inconspicuous kind, low marriage is also a very common thing.
In the end, there are more than ten or twenty girls of the same generation in someone's family, such as the Meng family, you can't marry into the royal family like Queen Meng and be the queen, right?
It's just that Sheng Weide's situation is more embarrassing, and he entered those high gates, including the eyes of the Luo family, mainly because of Rong Sleeping Crane, his cousin-in-law.
Then Rong Sleeping Crane, as the biological son of King Gaomi, the people on the Meng family's side will definitely not give the girl to Sheng Weide!
As for the people on King Gaomi's side, because they knew that King Gaomi was very disgusted with his youngest son, of course he would not consider marrying the Sheng family!
If these two factions of people are removed, the remaining neutral ones, such as the Ningwei Hou Mansion, have two daughters, one is a little Xu Ren, and the other is still young and not yet able to allow people.
I didn't hesitate to take refuge in Rong Sleeping Crane.
The other neutral factions, who have worked hard and maintained neutrality between King Gaomi and the Meng clan for many years, how can they easily take refuge in the young rising star Rong Sleeping Crane?
Therefore, at that time, none of the people who proposed relatives with Sheng Weide and Sheng Weiche could compare with the Jiangnan Luo family.
Otherwise, Mrs. Sheng would not attach great importance to this family matter, and the old lady has never seen the girl of the Luo family, so why not choose a granddaughter-in-law based on her family background?
But the old lady Ming, who finally said it, had a little spirit in her eyes, and Sheng Weirao was worried that if she told the truth, this grandmother would not be able to bear the blow.
After hesitating for a while, he picked a few larger families and said: "When their daughter-in-law met with our girl, she asked the eldest brother intentionally or unintentionally!" ”
When Mrs. Ming heard about the specific people, she picked up the family history of these people one by one, her eyes lit up, and she complained to Sheng Weirao: "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?" If I had known, I wouldn't have let De'er be so watery poplar with the Luo family! Don't want the girls who are now in the first grade, who wants them to be the girls of the rich people in the south of the Yangtze River? ”
"Grandmother, I just asked the eldest brother over there, because we were vague, they guessed that the eldest brother already had a specific family discussing marriage, so they didn't say it in depth!" Sheng Weirao was afraid that her expectations would be too high, and she couldn't stand it after she turned around, so she hurriedly remedied, "Those people are from several rooms, and their nieces and aunts are about the same age, and I don't know which girl they are talking about?" What if it's a concubine or something......"
"The concubine of the imperial court member family is also more noble than the concubine of a local powerful family like the Luo family!" Mrs. Ming couldn't ask for it, so she was a little angry with the Luo family, and said with a sneer at the moment, "Besides, some of the people you mentioned have gone wrong in the Chang'an Rebellion, and there is no more!" Some are now taking refuge in Mi Zhen's hands! ”
"Even if they wanted to give the concubine to De'er at first!"
"How dare you do that now?"
"It's almost as good to pull out the concubine and choose it for De'er!"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Ming thought for a moment, then patted the back of Sheng Weirao's hand and said in a low voice, "Rao'er, in this way, you go back to Qiao'er and tell her to ask her to help find a wife for De'er!" ”
Sheng Weirao was stunned and said: "Grandmother, my uncle said in public before, because my father is still there, and you and your grandfather are also there, so he won't interfere in the marriage of the eldest brother?" What's more, it's the second sister? The second sister is younger than the eldest brother! ”
"Your uncle...... was also angry with your father's recent failure. Mrs. Ming said vaguely, "He still cares about De'er very much, but he is afraid that your father will think that you children have someone to help take care of you, and he will become more and more distracted from you, so he put on this posture......"
After a few perfunctory words, the old lady said, "Don't you know Qiao'er's temper?" She has always been a good talker to her family. You just tell her well, it's really not good, crying and begging her, she will be soft-hearted! ”
"After all, although we have been in Chang'an for a while, the girls from each family also have a general impression, but it is only an impression."
"Where does Jo'er know about them?"
"What's more, if Qiao Er's current identity is inquired, people don't dare to lie to her at all, so as not to meet someone like the Luo family again, and call your father and De'er angry!"
Sheng Weirao noticed that her grandmother was not telling the truth, she speculated that it should be to hide the real inside story, as for what this inside story was, Sheng Weirao was of course curious.
However, looking at Mrs. Ming's haggard appearance at this moment, she couldn't bear to ask.
As for whether the old lady had a calculation for her in these words, she would definitely have considered it two years ago. At this time, I was moved by this grandmother's revenge with virtue, but where would I think in this direction?
Hearing this, he went to Feng Mansion to find Sheng Weiqiao.
It's just that this trip was very unsmooth, originally she mentioned Rong Ruibin, and she made some children's female reds with her own hands, and she planned to send it when she saw her nephew.
As a result, Sheng Weiqiao didn't even let her see the child, this vigilance and alienation Sheng Weirao noticed it, and didn't want to offend this cousin, so she didn't even tell her intentions, and went home directly, explaining the situation to Mrs. Ming.
Seeing that Mrs. Ming's original expression full of anticipation instantly dimmed, Sheng Weirao was a little unbearable, thought about it, and finally asked: "Grandmother, what is going on with the marriage change of the eldest brother?" Why do I think the recent attitude of the uncle's family is weird? Especially the eldest aunt and second sister and Ruibin, you and your grandfather have been back these days, and they have no intention of coming back? This? ”
"......" Old Madam Ming was silent for a while when she heard this, but did not answer this question, but said, "Qiao Er should be doing her best to help the marriage between Feng Zhiyi and the Luo family of the Feng family now, and she can't spare her hands, so it's no wonder that she doesn't want to be troublesome at this time." ”
She raised her head and looked at her granddaughter, "But if you want to understand the noble daughter of Chang'an, there is still a channel now, that is, the lord of Jingshu County, who is in the Zhuangzi outside the city, in the industry under our family's name!" ”
"In this way, Rao'er, you go to her and ask her, and by the way, ask her to help recommend the next candidate...... Let's just say that Qiao Er is now busy helping the Feng family, and she has no time to go to her in person! ”
"Qiao'er's character, even if you know it afterwards, eighty percent of it will not pierce you!"
"The county lord of Jingshu is famous for her eight-sided exquisiteness in Chang'an, presumably this kind of thing has her own means!"
