Mrs. Yuan's eldest sister is the third young lady of the Yue family who was the eldest lady of the Wei family at the beginning. Although she is a concubine, she is gentle and generous, and when she is in the boudoir, she is happy up and down, and even Mrs. Yuan thinks she is a good sister. The Shen family is a family business, and the old lady of the Wei family did not treat her badly. Although he is not the eldest son, he is also the son-in-law, although he is not a high-ranking official and a eunuch, but he is also a wealthy businessman, with a lot of wealth and wealth. The father-in-law and mother-in-law attach great importance to this eldest lady from the Earl's Court, and now she has all her children and her life is very smooth. What Mrs. Yuan wants to talk about is her eldest nephew, the eldest grandson of the Yue family.
The old aristocracy and the new rich have some contempt for each other in their hearts. The former thinks that the latter is just a nouveau riche with no background, only rich and not expensive. The latter thinks that the former is nothing more than a poor acid with a faΓ§ade. Both rich and expensive, expensive and rich are a minority after all. Therefore, although the marriage of wealthy giants is not the best choice, everyone also acquiesces and quietly popularizes, after all, the survival of the fittest is the king. Shuheng is very lucky, the GDP of Dingguo Gongfu may not be too high, but the per capita average is definitely among the best, so there is no need to worry about becoming a victim of marriage.
Therefore, when people marry relatives, they will look at the girl's family background, appearance, and moral integrity, while a businessman like the Yue family will pay more attention to the official status of the other party's relatives. Especially the Shen family, they have been actively taking the road of imperial merchants in the past two years. But Shuyue's relative, Sister-in-law, looked very bitter.
"The ancestor of the Yue family was also a scholar, and later he tried repeatedly before joining the business trip, but he still controlled his children and grandchildren very strictly, and he never stopped writing poetry and books, not to mention anything else, and his descendants were all born in the snow." Mrs. Yuan said: "So although it is a merchant family, it is not an ordinary light force. β
The sister-in-law reluctantly smiled and said, "Madame, it is really good." But if such a family wants to get married, it is the official eunuch of the Shi clan. Which of the men in our family is promising? They're just going to come out on top, and I don't have to do that. Besides, the eldest grandson of the Yue family is good, that is, it's-" Mrs. Yuan sighed coldly: "It's just bad luck." He was officially engaged at the age of eighteen, but the new daughter-in-law disappeared before he could pass the door. At the age of twenty, he said that he was married, and the bride had just passed the door for more than a year, and she had not survived the production mark, and the size was not saved. When he was twenty-three years old, he got married again, but the year before last, the smallpox disaster in the capital was a disaster, and the daughter-in-law was not spared. Everyone said that his life was too hard, Kefukezi, and now no one dared to marry his daughter to him. β
The sister-in-law was speechless.
"After all, the Shen family is the Shen family, can you let the eldest grandson be a widower? The old lady said that she had to find a less expensive lady to press it, so her net worth was almost nothing. If the eldest sister-in-law can't give up the false name of the young grandmother of Jifu, she thinks it's not good to fill the house for others, and she is willing to let her daughter enter the fire pit that is sweet on the outside and bitter on the inside. I don't have anything to say. Mrs. Yuan's expression was a little impatient: "You want your daughter's scenery and the other party's family background, not to mention that the honest squire is a small official and a small family, you won't consider it." Shuyue's character, others don't know, you don't know it yourself? Gentleness and smoothness, sister-in-law, you know, it is easy to make a living in this big family, are you willing to be bullied by that dog-eyed person and go to the Shen family, and my eldest sister of the Wei family will take care of it. You must know that it is this Shen Shouli, his first wife is also the daughter of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion, although she is a concubine. β
The sister-in-law was a little ashamed, and she was already moved in her heart, if the Shen family was really unhappy, how could the Zhongyi Mansion marry the eldest lady? It's just that there are always worries in my heart.
Mrs. Yuan saw it clearly, so she smiled and said, "As for the life of that Ke woman, I don't think it will hurt Shuyue, but I don't think it's big." Throughout the ages, there have been many women who have had tuberculosis and women who are about to give birth. Besides, how many people died of smallpox that year, and my sister-in-law also knew that even a prince was broken in the palace. In my opinion, the eldest grandson of the Shen family is too lucky, and he just caught up with something. As for the fate of the woman, it is even more of a joke, our grandfather was criticized for having no children and no daughters in his early years, and now the big girl is also alive and jumping so big. The rumors in the market are not true. β
The sister-in-law nodded silently.
In fact, there are two other intentions, one is that the third aunt and grandmother have always regarded themselves very highly, and Bo hates that, if Shuyue really abandons the Ji family and chooses the Shen family, it will definitely disgust her. The second Shuyue entered the Yue's family and became the eldest granddaughter-in-law, needless to say, she must have helped the eldest aunt. I don't know what the sister-in-law thinks, she has to let Shuyue get married, but the average second-class wealthy family can't marry. Shu Heng silently muttered in his heart - at least in Shu Heng's opinion, Shu Yue actually has many options to choose, the desperate Jia Qiao Sister has a board to marry, Sister Shu Yue is obviously much better, you can not marry a wealthy dignitary, a little rich and cocoa, and there are many honest people who are idle and worry-free, so they will not be used as a continuation at all. Besides, with Sister Shuyue's current life of staying up late every day to do needlework, marrying such a person is a good life. The bird perches in the forest but a branch, the mole drinks the river but is full, there is probably a certain number of enjoyments in life, you have to scratch and toss, what is the meaning of greed so heavy? ββ
If the sister-in-law knew this, she would definitely laugh at her for being full and not knowing that she was hungry. The girl who is pampered by Jin Yu can only say it easily, where does she know that life is not easy.
In the second room on the left, Shuheng was lying on the table and watched Shuyue embroider Doraemon for her. Looking closely, Shu Yuesheng is very good, with a white goose egg face, smoky eyebrows and beautiful lips, probably because of staying up late to work, her eyes are somewhat short-sighted, and when she looks at people, her eyes habitually squint slightly, always like she is smiling, which makes her eyes that are not water spirits bring out some pitiful confusion and weakness. Although it is not a beauty that is stunning at first sight, it can stand up to the look, and the more you look at it, the more charming it becomes.
Shuheng put the hawthorn sugar ball in his mouth, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, picked up the beauty and hammered it to the honey and motioned her to beat her back: "Sister Yue, are your shoulders sore?" β
"It's okay, I don't feel tired at this point." Shuyue hurriedly stood up and took it from the honey hand: "Don't dare to bother." β
Shu Heng smiled and ordered someone to fill the pineapple juice in a red lotus ink leaf blessing bowl for her: "Sister, rest." My mother didn't embroider for a while, and then she said that she had a headache. β
Shuyue took the juice and thanked her sincerely, and said: "Madame has a lot of things, and she doesn't have to bother to do these things, it's all for the eldest girl." β
Shu Heng had heard that when his mother was in the boudoir, she didn't hold the vertical line with a horizontal needle, not because she couldn't learn, but because she didn't have the patience at all. The old lady of Zhongyi Bofu often sighed: These five girls got married and gave birth to children, and their temperament has changed much better. However, Shuheng didn't come to learn needlework from her, she had her own questions to ask. Waving his hand and letting everyone around him retreat, Shuheng got closer and closer to Shuyue: "Sister, what kind of brother-in-law do you want?" β
This question was too direct, Shuyue's hand shook, and she almost threw the blessing bowl out, she blushed and pinched Shuheng's cheeks: "Niuniu, what did you say." β
Shuheng held her hand on his cheek and didn't let go: "Sister, I'm serious, my mother and your mother are discussing your marriage." I'm a child, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter if you sue me, I'll help you say it. This is your life's work, and you dare to marry blindly? β
These words came out of a doll's mouth, obviously very weird, but Shuyue looked at Shu Heng's eyes, but unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that this little cousin had always acted more attentively than adults, and hesitated for a while with a red face, but finally opened her mouth. After all, she needs to talk too.
"Big girl, I'll tell you, you just have to listen to the story."
Shuheng hurriedly nodded.
"I don't know what kind of man is a good couple, but I know that the past few are bad. In our house, the old lady is a god, only worshipped, and doesn't care about anything. The old lady pretended to be deaf and dumb, and would not speak until she had to. Therefore, the affairs of our grandchildren are all worried about by our parents, and we will report to the higher authorities when the time comes. My second sister-in-law Lian wanted to tell me to her maiden nephew, so that she could take care of the second room more in the long house of some family backgrounds, not to mention how the nephew was, just watching the second sister-in-law Lian's behavior on weekdays, I felt that their family style was not right, and I resolutely refused to follow it. For this second aunt, I grind my teeth behind my back. β
Shu Heng thought to himself, this family is really bad.
"Later, my father wanted to tell me to the household waiter's family, which sounds good, or we are Gao Pan, but in fact he is a concubine who is reluctant to give out two thousand taels of dowry, how can a concubine daughter-in-law who is neglected and despised be better? So I didn't follow, but fortunately, my mother still helped me to suppress and persuade, and because of this incident, I disobeyed my father, and my father didn't care about my business anymore. Shuyue said that the circles in her eyes were a little red.
Shuheng was speechless, after all, it has never been easy for girls to live, and there are not a few people who are traded by their fathers and brothers for their futures. She thought about her father, and then looked at Shuyue, and felt more and more that she had such a good life, if she didn't know how to cherish it, it would be too undeserved.
Now it seems that she is also worried about how worried, and Mrs. Yuan will not be wrong when she looks at people. Although Shuyue looks weak, she is also assertive, not blindly cowardly, and obedient. In addition, the temperament is honest and simple, and there is a sense of responsibility to advance and retreat, and the position of a grave woman is not incompetent. If you can help properly, it is also a merit for yourself.
"Big girl, you're fateful." Shuyue had some envy in her eyes: "With such a background and such a look, I don't know how many young men will compete for it in the future." β
Shuheng shivered, there was actually a strange aunt living in her Lori's body, in another ten years, the two lifetimes would add up to almost forty years old, and the thought of attacking the seventeen or eighteen boy gave me goosebumps.
"Sister Shuyue, this girl's family affairs are generally three kinds, the scenery outside is sweet inside, the scenery outside is bitter inside, and then there is the unsatisfactory outside, but it is actually good. Everyone likes the first one, but after all, there are too few, if you have to choose one of the last two, which one do you choose? Actually, the question is more popular: do you choose to cry in the BMW or laugh in the back of the bike? Shuheng was a little curious about this sister's view of marriage.
Shuyue was a little hesitant, obviously she had never considered this issue, even now, and there were many concerns, and it was difficult to judge. After a while, he said: "If it is really a good person, even the white-clothed hoe is worthy of Bo Xingjinyilang." But big girl, you know more or less about my mother's thoughts. I have already disobeyed my father, and now I am against her, even if I marry willfully, can the days of being rejected by my parents at the same time really be smooth? β
Now it was Shuheng's turn to be silent.
"Sister Yue, do you want to know what your future husband will look like?" After a moment, she spoke again.
Shuyue was surprised: "The girl is laughing again, how is this possible?" β
Shuheng smiled mysteriously, approached Shuyue's ear, and told him like this.
