Hearing her grandmother say this, Xu Wenmin nodded, deeply convinced. It has always been a big deal to marry www.biquge.info two families in the pen "Fun" Pavilion.

If the sister hadn't been affected by herself, she should be in Suzhou at this time, happily embroidering the dowry, and preparing to marry into the Sun family.

It's a pity that the sister's luck is not good, and after the Xu family was in trouble, the Sun family quit the marriage cleanly. On the contrary, it was himself who met the affectionate and righteous Zhu family, even if he walked in prison for a while, he would still be able to marry the eldest lady of the Zhu family tomorrow as he wished.

This made him feel more and more guilty about Xu Wanzhen in his heart, and he wanted to find a better family for her to make up for it.

Listening to Mrs. Xu discuss this matter, she listened carefully.

Mrs. Xu said: "Right now, there are two candidates. One is Fan Bin, who protects the media for Mrs. Zhu, who has come to the door many times with sincerity for this matter, and the other is the third young master of the Sun family. This time he came all the way to Beijing, and I didn't want to see him, but he asked for a letter from my father, and I had to see him. ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Wanzhen. for fear that mentioning him would make her sad. But Xu Wanzhen only sat there with her head down, and there was no emotion on her face.

Retracting her gaze, Mrs. Xu said, "These two people, you can discuss." ”

Originally, when talking about marriage, there should be no participation of the lady herself. But Xu Wanzhen was in a special situation, and the whole family felt that they had treated her badly, so they formed a consensus and asked her to participate in the audit.

It's just that due to the consistent requirements for women in this era, although Xu Wanzhen can audit, she has to abide by the etiquette of the boudoir, and it is not convenient to express her opinions. Her thoughts could only be told to Mrs. Xu in private.

Xu Changzong took the lead in asking: "Zhitao is my child who looks small and big, and he is in a good mood. What did my grandfather say in the letter?"

His father praised him for his down-to-earth learning and calm heart, and he would make great achievements in the future. Mrs. Xu said the original words of Mrs. Tu: "Father rarely praises a person like this, and it is not easy for Sun Zhitao to get his affirmation. ”

Hearing this, Xu Changzong fell into deep thought.

Although the Sun family knows the roots, and Sun Zhitao is also a good child, after all, they were the first to withdraw from the marriage. This has the first time, and I am afraid that there will be a second time. Who dares to guarantee that Xu Wanzhen will not be bullied if she marries in the past?

Xu Wenmin wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "I will never agree! Even if Sun Zhitao can become a first-class official in the future, no one can say for sure." He has a father who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, and is cold by nature, if there is really anything at that time, filial piety is greater than the sky, and Sun Zhitao will not be able to do anything. ”

For Sun Zhitao, Mrs. Xu also swayed from side to side.

Xu Changzong didn't want to gamble with his own daughter, but after thinking about it, he said worriedly: "Seeing that next year's autumn is coming, I'm afraid that if we reject him, it will affect his study." Then our Xu family, won't we become sinners?"

His worry is the same as Xu Wanzhen.

Xu Wenmin sneered and said, "The repentant marriage was done by their Sun family, and we didn't let him come to ask for marriage again." Whether it is reading or taking the exam, it is all his own business. ”

Speaking of excitement, he stood up and said, "If we let him be decadent because we rejected his marriage proposal, it can only show that he is not mentally strong." What are we doing with the Xu family?"

Old Madam Xu motioned for him to sit down and said, "Although I said that, I always felt a little unbearable for him. ”

watched him grow from a smart child to a gentleman who can be as gentle as jade. Mrs. Xu loves Sun Zhitao from the bottom of her heart.

Because of his father's fault, it would be too unfair for him to bear it independently.

She looked at Xu Wanzhen, who was sitting quietly on the side, and asked, "Zhen'er, if you also object, nod." ”

No matter how sorry she felt for him in her heart, Xu Wan would never marry him. Hearing this, she nodded firmly and slowly.

Seeing this, since the family, including Zhen'er, was against it, what else did she have to say?

After a little silence, Mrs. Xu said, "In this way, this matter is decided." Sun Zhitao dragged it first, and then told him when we thought about how to refuse tactfully. ”

Regarding Mrs. Xu's decision, Xu Wenmin agreed with it from the bottom of his heart. He also sympathizes with Sun Zhitao, but no matter how sympathetic he is, he can't take his sister's life.

As for the other candidate, he knew in his heart that his sister had no interest in him. Although he privately thought that Fan Bin was very good, he respected Xu Wan's decision more.

At this time, it was inconvenient for Xu Wan to express her position, so she could only say it to him.

Without waiting for Mrs. Xu to speak, Xu Wenmin said: "Fan Bin, who is protected by Mrs. Zhu, and her grandson thinks it is even more inappropriate." Although he is an orphan, he is the son of General Long. In terms of the family, it is really far higher than our Xu family. ”

Xu Changzong said: "Although it is said that you will marry a daughter with your head up, you will marry a daughter-in-law with your head down. But if you want the two to live well, the disparity between the families should not be too big. ”

Old Madam Xu frowned, it seems that the two candidates have been rejected.

In fact, she also understands in her heart that there is something wrong with Fan Bin and Sun Zhitao. But thinking about these two children, I feel pity.

looked at Xu Wanzhen, who was Anzhiruo, and knew that in her heart, she also agreed with the opinions of the two.

However, apart from these two, the other men in Beijing were even more inappropriate. Old Madam Xu's heart couldn't help but be a little anxious.

There is less than a year and a half left, and although it seems to be a long time, it is actually nervous to really talk about marriage.

If Xu Wanzhen's marriage cannot be decided this year, by the time it comes next year, men of the right age will be engaged one after another, and the range of choices will be even smaller.

Seeing the worried look on her grandmother's face, Xu Wan secretly said that she was not filial in her heart. He and Wu Zhengxiang have already agreed that they will not marry.

But such a free love, put in the Gaomang Dynasty, is a private life, she naturally can't say it.

Fortunately, she knew Wu Zhengxiang's arrangement, and she should take action in the near future, and when that time came, her grandmother naturally didn't have to worry about her marriage anymore.

Since Xu Changzong and Xu Wenmin have expressed their attitudes, they do not agree with Sun Zhitao and Fan Bin's proposal. Mrs. Xu put down the matter, took out a post at hand, and said: "This is Mrs. Zhuang's post a few days ago, inviting Zhen'er to go to An Guogong's courtyard to spend the summer on the day of the summer solstice. ”

Xu Wanzhen stepped forward to take it, and sure enough, it was a post written by Mrs. Zhuang herself.

Old Madam Xu said with a smile: "The housekeeper who sent the post said that Zhen'er's name has been on the Shi family's genealogy. Mrs. Zhuang wanted to take advantage of the summer solstice to hold a summer banquet in the courtyard and officially introduce Zhen'er to everyone. ”

Although Xu Wanzhen was in Xiaoman, she was taken by the two sisters Shi Jingyu to visit the other three national mansions. But that was just a desperate measure to quell the rumors, not a formal introduction.

Mrs. Zhuang liked this innocent daughter quite much, so she thought of giving her a formal ceremony.
