Chapter 178: Door-to-door
Mrs. Tai thought about it and felt that this was reasonable. www.biquge.info If you only want to be a local family, then keep these industries and raise your children and grandchildren well. But if Pei Mu and his descendants also enjoy the prestige of the connections accumulated in the Chengguo Mansion over the past hundred years, and even stand on their own, they need to take advantage of this troubled era to do something.
Mrs. Tai figured these things out, so she nodded in agreement, but added another sentence later: "You don't have to force Mu'er too hard, if he doesn't want to, then the matter will be stopped." In the future, there will be many famous daughters, so I have to marry Mu'er to his satisfaction. β
Mrs. Han nodded in response, and when Pei Mu came home in the evening, she told him about her plan in detail.
Pei Mu didn't say anything, but the next day he inquired about the day when the Wang family's mother and daughter went out, and took advantage of the time to get on and off the sedan chair to see Wang Miaozhen really well.
When he got home, he quarreled with Mrs. Han: "Mother, are you confused?" That woman is not as handsome as the maid who cleaned up the night pot in my room, marry her home and face her every day, can I still eat? β
"Besides, why can Brother Jiu marry a noble and beautiful woman like a princess, and it's my turn to be this kind of indiscriminate goods?"
Mrs. Han was displeased: "You have to burn paper and ask your father about this." If he knew how to take care of his body back then and didn't go to prostitute bitches and make plays, now you are Jiulang, and Jiulang's family still doesn't know where to ask for food! β
"Now what are you comparing to Kuro? What he is good at is eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, not to mention arching horses and shooting to kill the enemy, or taking care of the housework, you are only afraid that you will not, right? It's really a virtue with your dead ghost father! β
Pei Mu frowned and said, "What are you talking about, I won't marry that yaksha face!" β
Mrs. Han smiled: "The second miss of the Wang family is just a middle-aged person, where is it so ugly as you say?" Now Jiulang has military power in his hands, and we only have the idea of the Guogong Mansion in our hands. If he has the heart to win it, not to mention the name, just pull over a bunch of ruffians, can you stop it? Be obedient and find a reliable Yue family, so that you can keep your own things! β
Pei Mu thought about this, and there was some truth, but thinking about Xuanhui's flower and moon appearance, he was still unwilling. He said strangely: "The Wang family is powerful, and the second young lady is really ugly." With such a Yue family, I can't even take a concubine! What do you want me to do? β
Mrs. Han stretched out her hand and grabbed his ear and scolded: "You can't live a day without a woman, or what?" When you earn meritorious service and grow your ability in the future, what do you want to do, who would dare to stop you? It's all your grandmother who is used to giving you the wrong words, not taking things to heart, and thinking about these things every day! β
Pei Mu screamed in pain, begging for mercy again and again: "Can't I promise?" Mother, let go! β
A few days later, Mrs. Han asked the lady of the Jinling gentry to go to the Wang family to find out. This Shang family ancestor has also done the second grade of the Ministry of Shangshu, in Jinling is quite a famous scholarly family.
Mrs. Han waited anxiously for Shang Juren's wife to come back, and when she looked at the look on her face, she was half angry.
"You take a sip of tea first and speak slowly." Mrs. Han smiled reluctantly.
Shang Juren's lady was not polite, drank the tea in one gulp, motioned to the maid to pour it again, and then complained: "For you today, I really suffered a humiliation in vain!" The Wang family has no rules, and they don't know any etiquette! That Mrs. Liu, her eyeholes are going to grow to the sky! β
Mrs. Han poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Hengzhu, you are going on behalf of our family, and they only look at our family, why do you even say it?" β
Shang Juren's lady said angrily: "Mrs. Liu said that some people don't even have the fame of a two-rank jinshi, so they are embarrassed to enter the door of his house loudly. What else to say, his family is full of characters like the prince and the prince, but it is not a surname Pei, they have to look at it twice! β
Mrs. Han listened straight to it, and this Mrs. Liu was too arrogant!
"That's all this to the point, anyway, this family business can't be done, you can plan otherwise. I heard that the youngest daughter of Zhang Yuanwai in the east of the city is also 14 years old this year, and she is very standard. Although his family is white, it is better than finding an arrogant military attachΓ©'s family! β
When Mrs. Han heard this, she was very unhappy. Co-authored in the heart of Shang Juren's wife, her own family is only equipped with a white rich family? At that moment, she didn't bother to tell her about her plans, so she sealed a thank you gift of ten taels of silver and sent Shang Juren's wife out.
Mrs. Han thought about it and felt that she was uneasy, so she called her confidant family over and gave such and such an order.
Not long after, a very ambiguous rumor began to circulate in Jinling City. said that at the New Year's banquet in the palace, the second miss of the Wang family slept with the eleventh young master of the Pei family. From the second lady's belly pocket and the color on her head, to where the eleventh young master touched and kissed, and then to the embarrassment when the two were discovered, it was really as if they were there.
Only then did Wang Jintang know that the Pei family had asked someone to come to the door to mention the matter of their relatives. He couldn't help but scold Mrs. Liu for being stupid: "People hold your handle in their hands, you don't treat guests well, but you offend a lot of people in vain!" It's good now, Zhen'er doesn't have to go out or get married in the future! β
Mrs. Liu cried: "I was also very angry at that time, what kind of broken family, dare to come to our house to propose!" But if the children are better, I will endure it. But sir, you go to Jinling City to inquire, who doesn't know the name of the eleventh young master of the Pei family? When such a person comes to propose, isn't it just relying on that incident to blackmail us? β
Wang Jintang was so angry that he dropped the cup and said angrily: "Then you should always send it back!" This is good, you provoked people and dogs to jump over the wall, Zhen'er's reputation was ruined, and if you go to someone's house to propose marriage, people still think that you have insulted them! β
The Wang family was making a commotion, but Mrs. Han came to the door of the Wang family's mansion with a swagger across the city, asking to see Mrs. Liu.
When Wang Jintang heard that the main lord was coming, he also stayed in the main room and asked his subordinates to invite Mrs. Han in.
As soon as Mrs. Han arrived, she found that Wang Jintang was also there, and she couldn't help but be happy in her heart. She smiled and said, "This time I really have been a distinguished guest, even Lord Wang has come out to entertain guests!" β
Wang Jintang said with a smile: "Mrs. Han is polite, last time you asked someone to come to me, you were so offended by Clumsy Jing, I hope you will forgive me." β
Mrs. Han smiled: "Where, where, our two families don't know each other if they don't fight." β
Wang Jintang smiled and didn't speak, he took a sip of tea and waited quietly for Mrs. Han's next words.
