Yang only felt that his back was gradually forgiving, and his face turned a little whiter, thinking that he was far away from home, and many outsiders would not know very well, but now that Mrs. Chen said it, it seems that everyone in Yancheng knows about these things.

Mrs. Chen observed the changes on Yang's face, and secretly disdained in her heart, watching Yang's conversation, she had also read books, not from a small family, but in the end, she came from a small place and had little knowledge.

Yancheng is not that kind of small place, the interpersonal relationship is complicated, the high-ranking family marries a daughter-in-law, it is even more cautious, and some even observe it for several years before booking it, not only to the girl is good, but also to look at the other party's family, relatives and the like, the more high-ranking the family, the more pay attention to these.

No matter how good a girl is, others are unwilling to marry a bunch of unrelated relatives in the family, so as not to have to entertain these relatives all day long.

If there is a disagreement between the two close relatives and the family of the younger daughter-in-law, the two families will instigate discord all day long, and they will definitely have a peaceful house, so naturally they cannot marry.

Of course, if these are compared with the development of the family and the future of men, they will all be behind, if they can be of great help to men's future, if they can fight for ten years, they can stand behind for a few problems.

At first, Mrs. Chen was just a casual matchmaker, taking a good relationship or something, but after inquiring about the relationship between the Zhou family's characters, she felt that this matter was very promising.

She and the eldest lady of the Li family are cousins, and she knows that the eldest lady of the Li family is sick because she is worried about her husband's career and her son's family affairs.

The Zhou family is lower than the Li family, but the Zhou family has a noble in-law. There is also a more noble turning parent, who can really get married, which is extremely helpful to the future development of the Li family's men.

It's just that after a careful investigation, I can't help but be a little disappointed, this Zhou family girl actually quit with someone, and there will always be some taboos in high-ranking families, besides, the Zhou family's relatives are noble, but the Zhou family's own family is not very good, and the in-laws are far away. It is said to be close, but it is not close. If you marry a girl from the Zhou family, wouldn't it be a sweet dream if those relatives don't help?

So after careful discussion with Mrs. Li, she felt that if she could get the benefits first, she would get married. It's a lot more cost-effective. You can't rush this matter up on your own. You have to make Yang anxious first, and then slowly put forward the conditions.

After bringing it up, Mrs. Chen also specially told Yang. She is also a messenger, don't make enemies if you can't get married, if this thing doesn't work, just treat it as if she hasn't said it, and you can't say it.

Yang is naturally not a long-tongued woman, besides, the fact that her daughter was divorced is clearly known to others, and she wants to beg others not to say it.

Back home.

Yang pondered carefully for a long time, in the end, he felt that it was not good to mention such things as seeking an official position to Meng Yan, even if he was cheeky and open-mouthed, Meng Yan would not necessarily help, but would mock him.

But if she wants to give up, she is a little reluctant.

After thinking about it, he came up with a way to let Meng Yan go back to his parents' house to inquire about the character of the son of the Li family, and then ask the Meng family to pull the strings, and things will be much easier.

The Meng family came forward, which is equivalent to hinting to the other party that the Meng family will help, and maybe there is room for the matter to be returned.

made up his mind, the Yang family found an opportunity to mention this matter to Meng Yan, only skipped the conditions mentioned by Mrs. Chen, and only said that a matchmaker told Zhou Caier about the family, but their mother and daughter were not familiar with each other in Yancheng, and they didn't know what the other party's character was, so they asked Meng Yan to help inquire.

Meng Yan was a little disdainful in her heart, what kind of matchmaker, isn't it just that the Yang family visits the door every day and sells her own daughter, and her face is lost, fortunately, the Yang family is not her serious mother-in-law, and she has no intention of staying in Yancheng for a long time.

It's just that at this moment, the Yang family made a request to her in a good voice, and she couldn't refuse it because of reason, so she could only agree.

Meng Yan led Meng Nian back to her parents' house, saw her mother, said goodbye to her mother, and then let Meng Nian go to the back garden to play by herself.

After that, he closed the door and whispered to his mother.

When Mrs. Meng heard that the Yang family was a relative, she was a little surprised.

Speaking of this family, there is no need to inquire anymore, she is no stranger at all, because she still wanted to marry the daughter of the Li family, so she naturally wanted to find out the details of the other party, including the Li family's mother's family also investigated.

Speaking of which, there is really nothing wrong with this Li Gongzi, his family background is good, his character is not top-notch, but he is still passable, as far as the eldest lady of the Li family is shrewd, quite calculating, whose daughter wants to marry in the past, life is not easy.

However, the eldest lady of the Li family is so calculating, how can she look at the family background of the Zhou family, not to mention that there is a very important reason.

Mrs. Meng immediately lowered her voice and said to Meng Yan: "Yan'er, does the Li family know that your sister-in-law was divorced?"

"I don't know. "Meng Yan won't be stupid enough to get to the bottom of it, ask a question, what if you want her to help solve it?

"Is the Zhou family hiding it?" Mrs. Meng seemed to ask Meng Yan, and seemed to be talking to herself.

Meng Yan said: "What's the matter? Maybe the Li family doesn't know, isn't the second sister also quitting her family...... It's a trifle. ”

"How can this be the same, how many people in the world can be like your second sister...... Luck. "Mrs. Meng is not good at telling Meng Yan, her second sister must have known Wang Ye Ding before, and she can only be vague, "This is more or less taboo for ordinary people, your Yang mother-in-law has just arrived, and no one knows a few, how can someone tell her such a family business?"

"Mother, isn't this family business inappropriate?" Meng Yan didn't react for a while.

"It's not ...... It's just too proper. Mrs. Meng simply told her daughter directly, "With the conditions of the Zhou family, the eldest lady of the Li family should look down on her, and this son of the Li family doesn't seem to have any problems, even if there is a problem, some time ago, I ...... Oh, someone in my mother's family asked me to inquire about the Li family, and I wanted to marry the daughter of the Li family, so I inquired about Li Gongzi by the way, I didn't hear anything wrong, there is no need to be too low. ”

Meng Yan thought about it and guessed: "Is there something wrong?" Outsiders can't find out, so they want to marry a girl from other places?

"Not really. Mrs. Meng shook her head, even if she married a girl from other places, it would not be Zhou's turn to be a family.

The mother and daughter discussed it for a while and felt that it was difficult to say.

I can't say that I suspect that there is something wrong with the Li family's son, and I can't guarantee that the Li family's son is absolutely fine. It's a good family business.

The result of the discussion between the mother and daughter. Since he was uncertain, and he couldn't push it all away, he finally had to magnify the only problem he knew, which was the matter of Mrs. Li's family. It's not that Mrs. Li is bad. It's just a little hard to serve.

This week, Cai'er is obviously not submissive. I don't think I'd be happy to have such a mother-in-law.

Meng Yan returned home, rested a little, and then calmed down. After thinking about how to reply, he went to Yang's house.

Yang knew that Meng Yan had returned to her parents' house, and had been waiting for her early morning, so she didn't want to open her mouth and directly asked Meng Yan how things were.

Meng Yan knew that the Yang family must be anxious to know the result, and she didn't worry about the Yang family's appetite, and after a few words, she said: "Mother-in-law, what you asked me to inquire about, it just so happens that my mother knows Mrs. Li, and I haven't inquired about anything else for a while, and the only thing I know is Mrs. Li's temperament...... It seems to be a bit harsh, the Li family seems to be a good family, but the eldest lady of the Li family is too strict, and if Cai'er's sister really marries, she is afraid that she will be wronged. ”

"The head of this big family, her temperament is naturally not soft. Yang smiled dryly, even if Meng Yan didn't say it, she could guess that the eldest lady of the Li family was naturally calculating, but because she could calculate, if she relied on her daughter to seek an official position for her father-in-law, would her mother-in-law still be tough in front of her daughter-in-law in the future?

So it's okay, whose mother-in-law is probably not much different, marrying into another family may not be without bad things.

The Yang family was fascinated by the name of the son of the Li family, the son of the family.

Thinking about it, the Li family's family is not many times higher than the previous Quan family, Mrs. Chen described that the son of the Li family is also a talent, and it will not be wrong to think about it, and then I want to find a good family background, the son is handsome, where to find it?

Speaking of which, I was still affected by Quan Yaobei before, although Cai'er said that she was not willing to marry into the Quan family and suffer poverty, but if she found someone who was too different from Quan Yaobei to live her life, she would not be happy to come to Cai'er.

Therefore, the Yang family is even more interested in the Li family.

"Yan'er, mother-in-law, I'll tell you a word from my heart, you Cai'er's sister is ......" Yang sighed a long sigh, with a worried look on her face, "She's been in a bad mood lately, and she has been in a bad mood with you from time to time, don't go to your heart, she still knows your good in her heart, what happened last time, she also knew that she was wrong, but the little girl's family, in the end, can't wipe her face, you just take care of it more and help more." ”

Faced with Yang's pleading expression, Meng Yan couldn't say anything, and thought for a long time, and then said: "Mother, Cai'er's sister is young, I won't worry about her, but then again, our family, Cai'er's sister's temperament...... I don't think the Li family seems to be suitable, should I find a more suitable person for my mother-in-law?"

"Your sister Cai'er's temperament needs a strict person to manage it. Yang sighed and said, "If you are soft-natured, you will spoil your sister Cai'er, this is all to blame on me, I had a daughter in my early years, and I was too doting." ”

Meng Yan was speechless.

After some speculation earlier, I couldn't say it.

I had to be perfunctory first, and promised to inquire about it in a few days, after all, some things can't be inquired about for a while.

Over there, Mrs. Meng also tried her best to help, and asked Mrs. Quan Si to help inquire about the Li family, but after all, Mrs. Quan Si and Mrs. Quan San are still a family, and it is not good to intervene in this matter directly.

Mrs. Quan Si has a way to do it better than others, and she can find out what others can't ask about.

After inquiring about it, he told Mrs. Sùmont.

In fact, Mrs. Li has always been worried about her husband's future.

Originally, the master of the Li family has been conscientious in the past few years, and he has a little seniority, and he has such a reasonable in-law as Guojun Wangfu, who could have risen by a rise, but he was unlucky and was affected by Li Yushi, who fell some time ago.

It's really a bit unlucky to say, although the master of the Li family and Li Yushi are both surnamed Li, the Li family is a big surname, and it is estimated that there are two of the ten people on the street with the surname Li. The two of them can't hit each other at all, so it doesn't have the slightest relationship.

can be an official in the same court, naturally he is kind to others, with the same surname Li, the master of the Li family also calls Li Yushi the elder brother, and Li Yushi politely calls the elder brother.

In other words, in the court, many officials also shouted at their elder brothers when they met, showing affection or politeness, which could not explain anything at all.

The old man of the Li family didn't get any bargain from Li Yushi because of his brother, but Li Yushi was unlucky, and some people talked about it.

If he is just an idle official, he can't hinder others with anything, and others will murmur twice behind his back at most, and it will pass after a while.

The old man of the Li family was not convinced, and Mrs. Li was also a high-spirited person.

However, although there are several noble in-laws, they can't speak for various reasons, such as Master Li's sister, the Li family married into the Guojun Palace, and the Guojun King was also implicated because of Li Yushi's affairs, and it was too late to avoid suspicion.

The Li family and the princess of Guojun have not dealt with each other very much, if the old lady Xue has a heart, she can help, but the problem is that the old lady Xue is old, and she can't worry about her own affairs, the Li family helped to mention two sentences, but the old lady Xue refused.

There is no way, but the more the Li family thinks about it, the more unconvinced they become, they want to have an excellent son, and they want to marry a powerful in-law, help out of the bad breath, and find a backer for their son, so as not to be like his old man, work hard, no one helps, and the credit is collected.

Originally, Mrs. Meng couldn't figure out what the old man and wife of the Li family had to do with the Zhou family if they wanted to climb high branches, and the Zhou family was not a dignitary.

It was Mrs. Quan Si who woke up the person in her dream with a word. The Zhou family is not noble, but the Zhou family has noble relatives.

Think about it again, people really want to marry the Zhou family, if the Yang family is really optimistic, why bother to ask them, let Zhou Juren inquire about the Li family's son, Zhou Juren also has a few friends in Yancheng, and it sounds more convenient for men to call outside, so why let women inquire.

Or is this a trick that the Yang family has set for the Meng family? (To be continued......)
