Chapter 112: Strange Goods
The second more
"Got a headache, right?" The eldest lady didn't seem to care about Mrs. Li's rudeness just now, and hugged Xiaoxi'er and laughed at Li Ping. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And the brook in her arms for a while, she was no longer nervous about the eldest lady, and watched with great interest the new eldest grandmother chatting with her mother.
Li Ping didn't like to talk about this topic in front of the children, so she patted the two children lightly and smiled at her stepmother, "Brother Hao has rented two houses, and his classmates are contacting the owner of the house, hoping to buy it." Not too far from the house we live in, just across the street, I went to see, quite a regular three-into quadrangle, but also with a garden, in the future Brother Hao married, the in-laws should not be picky. ”
"Your father-in-law has always been relieved when you do things, and he is very satisfied with his in-laws this time, otherwise he would not have brought everyone in a hurry. It seems that he is really old, and he has to show off with his in-laws for such a small matter. So, you are also wrong, back then I said to choose someone for Brother Hao, you said that he wanted to study, look, now blind, right? "The eldest lady has lived as she likes in the past few years, and naturally she speaks casually. Of course, she spoke more and more casually to Li Ping.
"At the beginning, how old was Brother Hao? What kind of choice can you choose! Originally, I wanted to find someone in the home of a gentry who had retired and returned to his hometown. The tutor at home is good, and Yemen is the right one. Li Ping pursed her lips and let out a long sigh.
When the eldest lady said that she wanted to choose someone for Brother Hao, Brother Hao had not yet taken the children's exam, and it was too late for a boy in the countryside to marry at the age of fifteen. When he married Zeng Fan, Zeng Fan was eighteen years old, and he was told by his in-laws how late he was.
They are in the countryside, and it is common for them to marry at the age of ten. Because the two families have to prepare, and then adapt to each other. By the time the children are fourteen or fifteen, their feelings are almost met, and they are just right to get married.
But what Li Ping thought at the time was that Brother Hao had no fame, he was the only son of the richest man, and he could pick a girl from a family of the same status. Naturally want to wait. With fame, there is a difference between having fame and not having fame. Of course, she also has a meaning, she and Zeng Fan are engaged too early, and the two adults are about to fight, so don't worry, pick slowly. The main thing is to pick a good in-laws.
"Now Brother Hao is a strange commodity to live in, and the master has finally played a big game again over the years." The eldest lady laughed again.
The eldest lady wanted to choose someone back then, that was what she had to do as a mother-in-law, even if Brother Hao didn't slowly like her at that time, she had to choose, this is the right of the eldest woman, so she won't let people rob this authority.
Because Brother Hao was taught well by Li Ping, he slowly entered the eyes of the eldest wife, and when the eldest lady picked someone, she would invite Li Ping to ask clearly, otherwise she was really ruthless, and she would come back with a crooked melon and bad date early, which would be enough for them to be disgusting for a while.
At that time, I thought that she had chosen someone who was conducive to Brother Hao'er's business. But if Brother Hao wants to study, then the candidate has to be re-selected, and those who are in business can be completely ignored.
Waiting for Brother Hao to win the lift at the age of fourteen, not to mention that Chen Fuxing can't look down on those gentry in the countryside, and the eldest wife can't look down on it. Even in the provincial capital, there are many people who have a relationship with Chen Fuxing, who can be promoted at the age of fourteen, and they are only rare young talents in the province and even the whole country. There will be a lot of prospects in the future, and this is certainly a hot item.
Chen Fuxing has picked carefully, but he is a businessman, after he has chosen a circle, he suddenly found that if his son can marry the daughter of the prefect's family, then why can't he find a famous family in the capital? He has a mentality of waiting for the price, but the reality is that he is right, and his son is really a strange commodity.
Li Ping knew Chen Fuxing's thoughts, and when she heard that Zeng Fan had a great future, she formed an alliance with herself. The so-called recognition of relatives is nothing but a bundle of interests. Now that Brother Hao is also out of the picture, find a more powerful in-law, and there is nothing to say. The Chen family is no longer short of money, they lack people to protect their property. But knowing is knowing, but seeing the eldest lady say it so bluntly, she still feels blushing. Saying this in front of two overly smart children, how will she teach the children in the future.
Looking at the little monkey and the stream, there was still a hint of confusion in the stream's eyes, but the little monkey was already smiling. Li Ping patted her son. The little monkey pulled across the stream, and they leaned to the corner of the car, and Brother Hao brought a story to say, and whispered it to his sister.
"The Shi family knows that you are coming, although there is no reply, but Mrs. An will set up a banquet at home, invite the elders to visit the garden, and then a few close families will also go." Li Ping felt that her son was too smart, and she was a little entangled, but she couldn't hang the eldest wife, cleared her throat, changed the topic, and said it more implicitly.
"Well, I know, you can help me prepare a return banquet when I go back." The eldest lady nodded, this is a very regular practice. At present, it is only in the examination stage, you test us, we also test you. They are also court officials, and their reputations are completely different from their own family, so if they are invited to dinner inexplicably, there will be some unnecessary speculation outside. It would be reasonable for Mrs. Ann to come forward.
Zeng Fan is a proud protégé of the An family, and the relationship between the two families is close and known to the world. At this time, so many elders came to the Zeng family, and the An family invited guests, and then invited two or three close families to introduce each other, and as the head of the Chen family, Li Ping's stepmother, it was very reasonable to invite these families back.
But after the eldest lady thought about it, she frowned again, and invited guests in the rented house, which could not achieve the purpose of letting the in-laws see the sincerity, "The house still has to be fastened, if it doesn't work, pick another one, it doesn't have to be close to you, there must be pomp." ”
"Okay, let me ask Mrs. An, it shouldn't be difficult to find a good location to buy an expensive one." Li Ping has been thinking a lot about it recently, and she used to have to find two rooms next to each other, but she was mentioned by Mrs. An and Zeng Fan a few days ago, and she figured out a lot of things.
Everything can't be passed, sometimes distance produces beauty, Brother Hao wants to be closer to her, it doesn't mean that his brother and daughter-in-law also want to be close to her. Besides, my sister-in-law can't do it, because my mother is too capable, so it's good to let them run their own family wine, and she won't be a person inside and outside in the future.
"That is, what money to save them? And it won't be given to you. The eldest lady nodded, she didn't think about it so much, but she just felt that Li Ping had raised Brother Hao for so many years, but the Chen family gave Li Ping too little, and she was deeply upset for Li Ping.
"It's not about saving money." Li Ping didn't understand what the eldest lady meant, she smiled and waved her hand, she didn't think about money. I just feel that many things are out of control now, and I am a little discouraged.
