24. Chapter 24
Duke Yingguo died, Princess Anhe was degraded to a commoner, and the imperial grandson personally sent the body of Duke Yingguo back to his house, and his attitude towards the Xie family is obvious.
All of a sudden, everyone was re-examining the status of the Xie family in Jinshang's heart, the Xie family was mourning, and countless people came to mourn.
It is also because of Jinshang's attitude that no matter how many gossips there are outside, no one is curious to see Xie Lingzhu and her magical beads.
So it is rare that Zihu Courtyard has finally passed a quiet time, and the funeral of the Xie family can finally be completed.
As soon as the dust settled, the third old lady and the second master of the main branch who came to mourn saw that the Yingguo Mansion was quiet and nothing happened, so they decided to take their grandchildren back to Nanling.
The people of the main branch are leaving, and the old lady is not good at preparing some gifts for the relatives in each room to take back, and the Xie family is busy preparing to send the three old ladies and others on their journey. But I didn't want to think about it a few days later, and suddenly saw a married old aunt and wife of the Song family come to the door, saying that she came to apologize to the old lady.
"Apologies?" The old lady looked at the old lady in front of her blankly, very puzzled. They get along well with the Song family, and they are still preparing to get married, how could they suddenly come to apologize? Could it be that her prospective son-in-law secretly did something ugly about raising an outer room or keeping her eldest son? 0
But seeing the old aunt of the Song family, she smiled wryly and said, "It's not a big deal, but we think that even if it was a joke at the beginning, we should say it well." You also know that my brother and sister are rectum people, and they always speak and act without thinking, and this matter is always not in the way. Ay! Fortunately, next year, my eldest nephew and daughter-in-law should also enter the door, and with the help of my daughter-in-law, I won't be confused! ”
The old lady was confused for a long time, and finally understood what she meant.
This is really a sudden cold arrow! The old lady was cold.
The old man went, and it stands to reason that the Xie family has to keep filial piety for three years, but Xie Man is already in his twenties, and he is already old, and if he delays it any longer, he is afraid that he will not be able to get married.
Originally, she was still rejoicing, but fortunately, the family matter of going to the Song family had been decided, although the two families did not have time to officially appoint a family, but the Song family is also an innocent and upright family, and they will definitely not break their word and get fat.
But where did she think that she chose thousands of choices, and the son of the Song family in her daughter's photo was the eldest son in the family, even if she could match Xie Man, she couldn't be considered young. Now Xie Man has to guard for another three years, how can the Song family, who is waiting to hold their grandson, wait?
In fact, not only that, but what the Song family is worried about is actually another thing.
That is, today is seventy-seven, although he looks old and strong, but he is old. The old man, who knows if he will say that he will be gone?
If the Song family was waiting for Xie Man to finish the three-year filial piety period, and when the two families were about to talk about marriage, the one above collapsed again, how could it happen?
The Song family calculated and calculated, but they didn't dare to wait any longer, so in the end they could only grit their teeth and withdraw the Xie family's relatives.
Besides, the two families were only verbally agreed, and they were not courteous, and strictly speaking, they cannot be said to have been engaged.
Mrs. Song didn't dare to come to the door, so she invited the married old aunt and wife to come to the door to talk, thinking that the Xie family could understand the difficulties of the Song family, but she didn't know that the old lady was glaring, and she snorted loudly, so she directly asked the old aunt and wife of the Song family to go out.
After driving away the people who came to leave, the old lady leaned on the back of the chair and wept, muttering in her mouth: "What a wrong! My Man'er, why is your life so miserable? ”
Red hearts hurriedly patted the old lady's chest and relieved, and said, "What did the old lady say?" People say that the late meal is fragrant, but the Song family is untrustworthy like this, which shows that they are not good people. God is biased towards our aunt and grandmother, so I woke up early. What kind of character and what kind of identity does our aunt and grandmother have? Why bother with the Song family? said that as soon as filial piety comes out, there will be a good family affair coming to the door immediately! ”
"It's not as easy as you say!" The old lady choked up and said, "In three years, Man'er will be twenty-four!" A girl in her twenties, let alone marrying a good person, she can't pick a good one for filling! Poor my Man'er, such a family character, how can it be difficult everywhere! ”
"Don't think too much, old lady! There are so many bizarre things in this world! It's like the Duchess of Dingguo in Swallow Lane, who was still a widow of a dead man at that time, and even her mother's family forced her to leave home. Who would have thought that people would have that great creation later, and suddenly marry the prince of Dingguo, and now they are still the duchess of the country! ”
Dingguo Gong, that is the title of the second grade, higher than Yingguofu.
The hearts persuaded and persuaded him, and finally persuaded him to listen to it.
The old lady thought that it was good to see where her daughter was, and thought that the Xie family was now deeply favored by the emperor, and thought that as long as the filial piety period passed, there would be that young talent who came to ask for marriage.
It's just that when I thought of my daughter's weak temperament, I didn't dare to let her know that she had been divorced, so she told the people around her again and again: "The affairs of the Song family, but don't let your aunt and grandmother know, she has a small heart and is afraid that she can't stand it." ”
The maids naturally said yes again and again.
It's a pity that it backfired, and the Song family's withdrawal from the marriage was still known to Xie Man.
The reason is also simple, the son of the Song family is also because of his filial piety to his elders, and he has dragged his age older, and he originally said that Xie Man was also thinking that the two of them were not young, and as soon as the family affairs were decided, they could find a nearby date to marry their daughter-in-law into the door.
Who knew that the old man died too quickly, so that the two families couldn't stagger their hands at all.
At this time, Xie Man kept filial piety at the beginning, and the Song family couldn't wait any longer.
They hoped to marry their daughter-in-law after the latest year, so after retiring from the Xie family, they immediately began to match their son again.
Isn't the news leaking out?
Although Xie Man is in the filial piety period, the maids around her are often sent out to buy things to watch the excitement, so that they can come back to make fun of her.
In addition, although Xie Man is shallow, he cares about his future husband, and the people around him have to inquire about the Song family's son-in-law at every opportunity.
This inquiry, how can I not know that the son of the Song family has re-said about his family?
At first, Xie Man didn't believe it at all, but after several inquiries, he finally didn't believe it.
She hurriedly asked the old lady what happened, the old lady was going to hide it, but how can she hide this kind of thing for a long time?
Besides, if it is really hidden for a long time, it will cause Xie Man's love to be deep-rooted, but in the end he can't get married, how can it be good?
Under Xie Man's questioning, the old lady finally couldn't help but tell the truth.
In this way, it is terrible.
Xie Man went back to the house in a daze, but he didn't shed tears or cry.
She was already thinking about it, but she couldn't think about it for a while, so she dragged the rope and hanged herself.
Of course, in the end, she was rescued without even hanging the rope, because the place she chose to hang herself turned out to be the gate of Zihu Courtyard.
Not to mention the old lady and the Chen couple, even the Sun and Liu and others were also taken aback by her.
"What's going on? Is she going to die at the door of the house over there? ”
The Liu family was trembling, and he didn't dare to see the excitement, so he had to come and talk to the Sun family.
Sun snorted and said, "What else can happen?" My aunt and grandmother can't think about it, I'm afraid that our newborn little niece has caused so much trouble, so she was dismissed! ”
If you want to talk about this Yingguo Mansion, it is her husband who is born, and the eldest of the grandchildren is her son.
In her heart, the one who can inherit the Xie family's family business should naturally be her own man.
The boss was just born a few years early, and he doesn't have to do anything in the future, everything is his.
Now that the old man is gone, Xie Yuncheng has become the grandfather of the country, his husband, not to mention that he has lost his title, he can't even be an official, and he has to go home to keep his filial piety. Waiting for three years to pass, who knows how to recover.
Speaking of which, it's all to blame on that dead girl.
Liu didn't think about it so much, but he didn't understand why the aunt and grandmother in the family were divorced and blamed on the little niece.
Sun saw that she was too stupid, so he had to remind her: "I don't want to think about it, how many things have happened in the family since that girl was born?" If it weren't for that bead, the little boy of the Wei family wouldn't have hurt his hand. If the little prince of the Wei family doesn't hurt his hand, Na An and the princess won't come to make trouble, and the old man won't enter the palace to give birth, so naturally he won't die.
The old man is still there, where will the Song family withdraw from the marriage? I can't say that the two families are engaged at this time, and they are already preparing a dowry. ”
Liu was ignorant: "But didn't the emperor dispose of the princess in the end?" ”
"So what? It's not that the old man died in front of him, and he couldn't get over it in his heart. Speaking of which, whether this one in our family is a lucky star or a disaster star, it is not necessarily! ”
While the two were talking, the girl came again and reported to Sun: "Mrs. is not good, my aunt and grandmother have gone to Zihu Courtyard again!" ”
"Didn't you get pulled back?"
"Exactly! My aunt and grandmother were pulled back, but I still couldn't think about it. While the girl didn't pay attention, she ran to Zihu Courtyard to wipe her neck again. The old lady was so angry that she fainted, and Madam, go and take a look! ”
What else can Sun say? I had to rush over immediately.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived outside the Zihu Courtyard, I heard a mess inside.
The old lady was pushed to the side, and Xie Man was crying and grabbing the ground, and was banging his head against the pillar.
"Daddy is gone, I won't live anymore, let me die too! It's a shame to be alive left and right! God, take me! ”
Xie Man's lifeless posture, if everyone hadn't stopped him quickly, he would have really made himself a good one.
In the courtyard of Zihu, the Chen family didn't even dare to go out, so they had to hide in the house and cry.
Xie Lingzhu has lived for decades, and it is the first time he has encountered this kind of thing, which is really ridiculous and cola.
Finally, when Xie Yun rushed back when he heard the news, he finally got Xie Man back, and ordered someone to take strict care of him, and he was not allowed to leave anyone for a moment.
After this experience, the old lady was frightened and sad, and fell ill that night.
Xie Xun is filial, and now he has no official duties, so he simply accompanies the old lady every day to serve soup and deliver medicine, and finally gives the old lady a little comfort.
As for Xie Yun, her sister hanged herself outside her yard, which made people who didn't know the truth murmur secretly. In addition, she was so tough on Xie Man that she directly grounded people, which made the old lady who was already dissatisfied think that he was ruthless.
The Xie family was in a lot of trouble, and when the three old ladies and others saw that things were really as expected before, they were not in a hurry to leave for the time being. found another excuse to stay, just to see what the Xie family would do next.
