182. Calculating marriage

Peony heard about the matter, and she had already cried with the golden lady: "If it's really for the sake of the fact that the vegetables are not fresh, forget it, but the slave heard that after the rotten vegetable leaves were pulled out, someone sent a cart at noon, or at the price of one catty and five cents, and the food was delivered by a distant relative in the hometown of the eldest grandmother." ”

"She forced my brother to ask for three cents a pound, and the five cents reported here, the difference in the middle of the silver, did not fall into her own pocket. Where is this picking, this is a slap in the face. Peony cried: "The slave has no face to go to the kitchen again." ”

The golden lady only smiled: "That's also your brother's discouragement, just do his honest business, you have to cheat and play tricks." ”

Peony listened and disagreed: "Godmother, that's the big grandmother's egg with bones, I've seen all those dishes, most of them are trampled on by the foot......"

"Is there such a thing?" Jin Niangzi Zou frowned: "Also, don't call me godmother in the yard usually, for fear that people don't know." Madame hates people to form gangs and factions the most......"

Peony hurriedly stuck out her tongue and beat the golden lady's back: "The slave forgot about it in a hurry." ”

Aunt Xue couldn't find He Jiaxian to be a rescuer, and she talked about things in Chen's room, but she knew that Chen would not allow it, so she just talked nonsense.

At this moment, listening to Zhou's report on what happened in the kitchen, Aunt Xue's heart moved.

She always thought that Zhou was Chen's echo worm, but she didn't expect that she also had her own little abacus, so she praised Zhou in front of Chen, naturally, it would inevitably damage He Jiaxian.

Chen panicked when he saw her coming, and saw that she never mentioned the matter of marriage, but he was relieved, and hurriedly turned the conversation to Zhou, and chatted enthusiastically.

When the Zhou family came out of Heshoutang, Aunt Xue also hurriedly said goodbye, and said: "Grandma is pregnant, this is the first time I have come to the door, and I would like to express it in general." ”

Chen asked people to take Aunt Xue to Zhou's place.

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "You are really a good blessing." ”

Zhou's family is also a small businessman, if it weren't for Fang Qizong's perennial lying on the sickbed, how could he look down on her?

I thought that I would enjoy the glory and wealth, and even if I was a widow for a lifetime, it was not easy to get pregnant and give birth to a child.

My aunt laughed. Zhou smiled and entertained, she didn't have a good impression of this Aunt Xue.

"I'll tell you one more thing, and you'll be even more blessed. Aunt Xue pretended to approach mysteriously: "Your mother-in-law ......"

Zhou Shi obtained the IOU, and after reading it, he was puzzled: "Just borrow silver, what's going on with this calligraphy and painting?"

Aunt Xue naturally refused to answer, and only said bluntly about her plan to marry her daughter to Fang Qiye: "But your mother-in-law, if you have a good thing, you forget your mother's ......."

Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and he also knew that this was a hot potato, but it was not easy to excuse himself directly, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing." It's just that I'm pregnant now, and if I worry about these things again, my mother-in-law will definitely talk about me. When the time comes, I am afraid of annoying her, and I think that I have received your money, so I think that my cousin is a match for the third brother. ”

Seeing that Aunt Xue's face was not good, Zhou Shi hurriedly said again: "So it's inappropriate for me to say this, it seems too deliberate." It's better for my aunt to find a feasible matchmaker to come over and talk about the item, and when the time comes, I will take two sentences, and this matter will be a matter of course. ”

Although Zhou didn't answer, he didn't completely refuse, and Aunt Xue's face eased slightly: "What you said is reasonable, I'll go find someone to see, I don't know which person you think is appropriate?"

"I don't know about this, but are there any elders who have a good relationship with the two families?" Zhou asked carefully.

Aunt Xue thought about it, but she couldn't find anyone, so she said, "Let me tell you after I think about it." ”

When I walked to the door, I heard a few little maids laughing and saying, "Little Miss looks like a dumpling, how cute she is." When I went to Tinglan Courtyard to get the pattern just now, I saw it, it was white and tender, and the second grandmother was also pleasant. ”

"The second grandmother is kind-hearted, when do you see her sad. Seeing that there was no one left and right, a maid said with a smile: "Na Lamei, the legend is that the second grandmother is going to be harmed, and the second grandmother is afraid that she will be blamed by her wife, so she asked her to go to Tinglan Courtyard to serve." ”

"How do you know? We didn't hear a word about it. ”

"Lamei told me. She said that she had never seen such a good master as the second grandmother. The maid grinned: "In the future, we will also serve the second grandmother more." ”

Aunt Xue only heard this, and when she thought of Chen's attitude towards He Jiaxian, she suddenly moved in her heart and made an idea.

Aunt Xue's sudden visit surprised He Jiaxian, hasn't this master always hated himself?

"Oh, the little girl is so cute, let my uncle and mother-in-law hug her. Aunt Xue hugged Ran Ran and put a piece ......of jade into her swaddling clothes: "This is a good thing, haven't you seen it?"

He Jiaxian was wondering which one she was singing, but it was not easy to ask, and Aunt Xue never said it, and Xiao Ranran's feeding was talking about it.

He Jiaxian has now learned to be quiet, so he eats and drinks well, just waiting for her to explain.

Sure enough, Aunt Xue saw that she didn't ask questions, and she couldn't hold her breath anymore, so she held back her voice for a while before she said, "Do you know about the robbery of her business?"

Seeing that he was asking this, He Jiaxian nodded with a smile.

Aunt Xue took out a piece of paper: "Look at this." ”

He Jiaxian didn't doubt him, took a look, and gasped in fright: "This is ......"

"Didn't you see it?" Aunt Xue saw that she really frightened He Jiaxian as she expected, and couldn't help but feel that she had the upper hand again: "Do you want it?"

This is an IOU from Chen's Aunt Xue, 10,000 taels, held in his hand, it is a small scepter.

I just don't know what the hell is the calligraphy and painting promised above? Moreover, the Chen family has already embezzled the silver from Gongzhong, why did he ask Aunt Xue to borrow the silver?

Looks like a big deal.

If you get it, I'm afraid that in the future, I won't be embarrassed by Chen's pinching her.

He Jiaxian thought about it, and handed it back: "My aunt must have conditions, and she will never give it to me in vain." ”

"There are no conditions, but our family Min'er is not young, and I want you to guarantee her a family business. Aunt Xue smiled kindly.

Could it be from home? Why are they all staring at Congjia? He Jiaxian was secretly speculating, and Aunt Xue said coldly: "She likes her cousin." ”

Damn, is this going to be small for Fang Qirui? He Jiaxian was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't say anything with his tongue knotted.

"I know it's a little difficult, after all, she is a little older than Ye'er, but this is not a problem at all, Ye'er will be sixteen next year, and it's not too late to get married when the time comes, let's get engaged first." Aunt Xue saw He Jiaxian's face embarrassed, and knew that she was thinking about it, so she hurriedly explained.

It turns out that what is in the picture is Fang Qiye.

"Aunt......" He Jiaxian wanted to say why Aunt Xue didn't go directly to Chen, but suddenly thought that Aunt Xue had an IOU in hand, if Chen was willing, I was afraid that it would have been successful a long time ago, so why not get it here?

Then he smiled and said: "My aunt is embarrassing for me, how can I manage the marriage of my third brother? ”

"I know what you're capable of, so don't be modest. Aunt Xue smiled: "You are now a big celebrity from the door of the house, and your mother will give you some thin noodles." ”

What kind of thin noodles, I'm afraid that I will be embarrassed with you, and use the IOU to force the Chen family to comply.

He Jiaxian thought of Aunt Xue's intentions, and only felt funny: "Aunt said that I laughed, if I have that ability, why can't I even be a showman?" I heard that the second master of the Congjia family is the chief examiner." ”

Aunt Xue didn't know about this layer, so she only smiled and said, "That's because you are fair and don't like to walk." ”

"My aunt knows, too. He Jiaxian smiled and stopped talking.

Aunt Xue found that she didn't know when she was actually surrounded by this nephew and daughter-in-law who had always looked down on her, and couldn't help but be angry, holding the IOU in her hand: "This is a good opportunity, your mother has been counting you for more than a year, but she has not calculated your ......"

My aunt laughed, and the family said that it was not calculated. He Jiaxian still smiled meaninglessly: "Last night, Xianggong asked me to be more filial to my elders." ”

Seeing that there was no chance to take advantage of it, Aunt Xue shouted angrily: "What is it, I don't know how to lift!"

When he walked to the door, he turned back and took away the jade in the child's swaddling clothes: "Blind!"

Xiao Ranran was so pulled by her that she was frightened, her chubby arm shook, and she cried.

He Jiaxian saw her insulting Xiao Ranran like this, it was really unbearable, and said to Ji Xiang: "Take the child's mutton fat jade, don't be cold by that bad texture." ”

I don't like Aunt Xue more and more. Doesn't she just want to rely on her and Chen's little bit of caries, give her a handle, and let the two of them fight, she is so profitable?

She's not stupid, why would she do such a thing?

Aunt Xue was furious, and when she came home, she bumped into her aunt and pulled her: "Sister-in-law, your face is so ugly, you are sick?"

Naturally, Aunt Xue wouldn't tell Aunt Xue that this kind of thing is just a continuation, what's the bull's anger? He waved his sleeves: "What's your business?" ”

The little aunt smiled: "Isn't it because of Min'er's marriage with the third child of the Fang family that I suffered again." ”

Seeing that she also knew, Aunt Xue hurriedly turned her head over and asked, "What else do you know?"

It's nothing if the matter of borrowing money is exposed, but if everyone understands the meaning of those "calligraphy and paintings to pay off debts" and explodes, and the Chen family suffers a loss, then she will have no support at all, and don't even think about marriage.

"What can you know?" the little aunt smiled: "I just asked Min'er a few words, she was naΓ―ve, and told me the truth." said that you were running around for her marriage, and you were very tired. ”

Seeing that the matter was not exposed, Aunt Xue said with a smile: "This child is straightforward, listen to what to say." I deliberately want to kiss the second sister, but unfortunately, people look down on our Chen family. ”

"Naturally, I don't look down on it. Look at other people's daughters, one is better married than the other, and the youngest son doesn't take advantage of these lights to marry a famous girl, but also rushes to lower his status? Sister-in-law, what do you think. The little aunt smiled: "It's no wonder that the second sister didn't agree." ”

"Do you want you to say that since ancient times, our daughters have been married, although we are high, but we are not lions with big mouths, and we can't do anything. "Aunt Xue thinks this family business is still very right.

"It's useless if you think it's suitable, and if the second sister thinks it's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. The little aunt lowered her head and touched her fingernails: "However, it is not impossible to make the second sister feel suitable." ”

Aunt Xue was about to be impatient to talk to her, and when she heard this, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Do you have a way?"

"The solutions are all thought up by people, if you don't tell me the truth, how can I think of a way? The little aunt grinned.

Aunt Xue hesitated, but she still didn't explain the IOU: "It's all pretty words, what else do I have to do with you." ”

"Huh. The little aunt sold it and smiled: "I'll tell you when I have the opportunity." ”

Aunt Xue didn't think so, and she didn't like to take care of her.

Fang Yuhe went back to her parents' house to see Chen, and said with a smile: "Mother, I have inquired about the news of the young master from the family, but it is very tricky." Maybe my sister doesn't have this hope. ”

When Chen heard this, he secretly said badly: "Could it be that you have already made a marriage at such a young age?"

"Not really. Fang Yuhe smiled: "It is said that this time the Holy Lord will open up his words and benefit all the people, not only the Yuzhu sister of our second uncle's family will enter the palace to run for election, but the young master of the family will also enter the palace to choose a wife." "His wife, naturally, must be one of those who choose women.

Chen sighed when he heard this: "Then there is no way, I can only make Yulu die of this heart." ”

Fang Yuhe smiled: "Speaking of which, although this news is not good news, it took me a lot of effort to ask Fang Yuting to go with me to inquire at home." ”

Chen looked at her suspiciously, and Fang Yuhe hurriedly explained: "But for the sake of the fourth sister, it is also appropriate to spend more silver." It's strange to blame that Fang Yuting, they are all sisters in the family, and now they have become concubines again, and they actually took the opportunity to slander me. ”

Chen Shi was a little disappointed when he heard her intentions, and said, "I've been a little tight on money lately......"

"Mother, where do you want to go, I'm just complaining. She didn't take out so much dowry silver, and now she is a lady-in-waiting, I don't know how generous it is, you ask her to do something, she actually blackmailed me for a pound of high-grade bird's nest, something without conscience. Fang Yuhe saw that Chen's face was not good-looking, so he hurriedly changed his words.

Chen smiled reluctantly and sighed: "Don't offend her, she knows a lot of dignitaries, if you want to find a good family for your sister, you have to rely on her." ”

Fang Yuhe said angrily: "You always look down on me. I am the Lady of the Prince, and the man she married was just a wild seed born of a maid, and no one was to see her in the Hou Mansion. If it weren't for Mrs. Hou giving the second child a little thin noodles in front of her, I'm afraid that even the son of the chief manager would not be as good as ......."

Chen Shi hurriedly pressed her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, now that you are under the same roof, you still have to bow your head and get along." ”

"Mother, when will you learn to endure?" Fang Yuhe was a little hateful: "In the Fang family, I have never let it, and when I go to the Hou Mansion, it will be even worse! Although I am weak, in terms of momentum, I can't lose." ”
