Chapter 132: Virtuous and Virtuous
After the second lady Rong was grounded by the little Hou Ye for half a month, she was still rescued by the Hou Ye Lady with a word, saying that it was the thirty-third birthday of the eldest princess of Dingguo, and she made a post inviting the ladies of each family to sit in her mansion.

Other families have several daughters-in-law, if you want to go, you have to be picked up by your mother-in-law, Anxin Hou's Mansion is different, the only daughter-in-law of Mrs. Hou Ye has been sent to Yongzhou, and now the second lady has been grounded by the little Hou Ye with a word, the second master has not married a wife, so only Zhu Rong can take it, and it is impossible to bring a son's concubine to go, so Mrs. Hou Ye's words will exempt the second lady Rong from grounding.
After Mrs. Rong returned from going to the Mansion of the Princess, Mrs. Hou, she was praised by Mrs. Hou, saying that she was virtuous and virtuous, and had good conduct, and she became very close to her from then on.
The reason may be that Mrs. Hou Ye was ridiculed by other nobles and princes when she attended the birthday banquet of the eldest princess, saying that she was rude and spicy, and she was a wicked mother-in-law, who not only drove her daughter-in-law crazy, but also pulled out a knife to cut her daughter-in-law's mother-in-law, Mrs. Shi.
At that time, they naturally whispered in private, but there were many people who said it, and Mrs. Hou was pointed at wherever she went, and her violent temper almost exploded.
Fortunately, there was the second lady Rong, she had been comforting her softly on the side, and then when she saw her aunt, she went to invite her over, asking her to make a friendly appearance with Mrs. Hou, and let the two deliberately make an affectionate appearance to chat, which made the other ladies who came to the banquet puzzled, and did not dare to say that the two of them were not in harmony.
In fact, Mrs. Shi was also there at that time, just because everyone was talking about the two of them, so even if she saw Mrs. Hou, she could hide, afraid that if the two got together, they would become others.
I didn't expect my niece to come to her and ask her to chat with Mrs. Hou in the past, she didn't want to go, but my niece begged hard, and finally reluctantly agreed, in the past, I did a good show with Zhuo Siya, a shrew, and the effect was actually not bad, and the ladies at the banquet shut up almost immediately after seeing it, which made her feel a lot more relaxed, after all, no one wants to be talked about and watched like monkeys.
Since Mrs. Rong won the favor of Mrs. Hou, almost **** went to Yonghe Courtyard to accompany her, coaxing Mrs. Hou to rejoice every day, and her means seem to be much more powerful than Aunt Chunjuan.
And she still has a lot of tricks, playing the piano in the past, playing chess today, studying tomorrow, and these are exactly what Aunt Chunjuan, who was born in the maid, lacks.
And Aunt Chunjuan, who has been serving Mrs. Hou a few days ago, and is quite valued by Mrs. Hou, has suddenly become a hand-starter, waiting on the side on weekdays, listening to an order, handing something or something.
However, Aunt Chunjuan is still serving respectfully every day, and after serving Mrs. Hou, she still has to serve Mrs. Rong, on the surface, there seems to be nothing unhappy, according to what she herself said: "It is a great blessing for a slave to serve Mrs. Rong, where would you not be happy!" ”
In this way, Zhu Rong was polite to her, and instructed Aunt Chunjuan to come like her own maid, and she was numb when she shouted, and it was easy to use.
This matter has long been spread in the house, saying that Aunt Chunjuan has not only won the love of Mrs. Hou Ye, but also the favor of Mrs. Rong, and it seems that she is the most favored among the aunts.
Seeing that June is almost over, the ninth day of July is the day when Cui Shuxing, the second master of Anxin's Hou Mansion, got married, and married Miss Lin, who had been to Hou Mansion once.
This Lin Wanzhen is the eldest daughter of Dr. Guozi Lin Zhongxian, gentle and lovely, knowledgeable. Mrs. Hou Ye is very eye-catching, and she wanted to say that she would be assigned to her son as a continuation, but the old Hou Ye, the little Hou Ye and the Shi family did not agree to take a leave of absence Shi Shuyun, and the dignified Dr. Guozi was a person who lectured to the princes in Chinese studies, how could he agree to match his daughter to a little Hou Ye as a wife, so this matter was not discussed.
Later, after being reminded by the old Hou Ye, Mrs. Hou Ye found that her concubine Cui Shuxing had not yet married, so she went to the Lin family in person, saying that she really liked Miss Lin, so she would have married to the Hou Mansion to be the wife of her second son.
Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin agreed after discussing for a few days, but they asked for a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver, no way, the Chinese culture where Lord Lin served was a poor place, and Dr. Guozi was also a poor official, although he Lord Lin wanted to be high, but the land price and prices in the capital were too expensive, and his meager money was almost unable to support the family, for this matter, Mrs. Lin often quarreled with him, which was nothing more than saying that his son had no money to marry a daughter-in-law or something, so this time Mrs. Lin would not mind that Cui Shuxing was a concubine and died as a fiancée.
As soon as Mrs. Hou heard about 100,000 taels of silver, she was not very happy when she came back, and read the old Hou Ye for several days, the old Hou Ye was just silent, no way, no money, and Mrs. Hou Ye was reluctant to be her beloved jewelry and the treasure in the treasury for the sake of a concubine, so she planned to reject the Lin family, anyway, Cui Shuxing was not his own, and whether he could marry his daughter-in-law had little to do with him.
This matter was known by Aunt Liu, she had long been worried about her son's marriage, this time I heard that it was a well-informed official lady, and she was a daughter-in-law, she was very happy, but she was not happy for a few days, and she heard that Mrs. Hou was not happy, and she disliked the other party's dowry too expensive, so she wanted to push the marriage.
This is okay, originally the son has not been able to marry his daughter-in-law since he died three years ago, and most of the people in the capital who have heard of this are unwilling to marry him, saying that Cui Shuxing has a hard life and wants to marry a wife. If such a good marriage is disrupted this time, what good daughter-in-law can you marry in the future?
Either the concubine of the official family or the concubine of the Shangjia family, these Aunt Liu are not happy, her status is too low, and she is not worthy of her son, or is this Miss Lin suitable, Aunt Liu thought stubbornly.
It's just that the son is a concubine, who crawled out of his belly, the daughter of a five-grade official, can marry such a woman as a wife, it will be better in the future, and he will have a chance to improve, at least his father-in-law is a lecturer to the princes in Chinese studies, and he can more or less pull his son.
If you really marry a poorly educated concubine or the daughter of a merchant family in the future, it will go downhill, not only will the father-in-law not necessarily be able to help, but the son raised may not be good.
As the saying goes, marrying a good wife in one room benefits three generations, and marrying a wife who is not good in one room harms nine generations.
Aunt Liu moved quickly, and found the old Hou Ye before Mrs. Hou Ye went to the Lin family, saying that she was willing to take out her private money, and take some gold, silver and jade jewelry, and exchange it for fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver, and begged the old Hou Ye to go to the Lin family's marriage.
The old marquis disagreed, Aunt Liu cried and cried on the side, saying that her son was a concubine, how to be wronged, other people's sons got married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, but their own sons were unable to get married, and it was not that she was incompetent as an aunt, and she couldn't find a virtuous wife for her son.
She cried and made a fuss, and the Tao also aroused the guilt of the old marquis, so Aunt Lin made persistent efforts and continued, her son is already a concubine, that is, she wants to marry a well-educated and knowledgeable concubine to come back as a wife, if you miss this time, you will marry a small family in the future, and your son's life will be ruined.
The old marquis sighed when he said this, in fact, the old marquis of Cui Shuxing also loved him very much, but he loved his eldest son Cui Shuyan more.
Because the old marquis's father ignored him as a sister-in-law when the old marquis was young, but especially loved the eldest brother, so this left a little shadow in the old marquis's heart, so that he always held a scale in his heart, and every time he wanted to love and get close to Cui Shuxing, he would tell himself that this would hurt his son-in-law.
In fact, Cui Shuyan has never thought about it this way, from beginning to end, only the old marquis is injured alone, he was injured by his father and eldest brother when he was young, and now, he is hurting himself, and at the same time, he also caused the injury of his concubine Cui Shuxing.
Thinking of this, the old marquis helped up Aunt Liu and said: "Liu Liu, get up, how much cash do you give me, there is indeed a shortage of silver in the house now, and I will make up for it when I am more relaxed in two years." There is no need to be a jewelry, I will find a way to do the rest, and I will personally go to the Lin Mansion to propose marriage for Xing'er tomorrow. ”
In this way, Cui Shuxing's marriage was finalized after the old marquis went to the Lin Mansion, and then, after six ceremonies, the marriage date, after several negotiations between the two families, the date was set on the ninth day of the seventh month. (To be continued.) )
