Everyone in the world knows that the four major families of Jia Shi, Wang and Xue are all in the same spirit, and they are all after meritorious service. Now that Sun Jialian, the mayor of Rongfu, and Wang Xifeng, the lady of the palace, are married, all the old friends of the two families will naturally come. Jia Fu was afraid that the banquet would not be arranged, so he discussed with Jia Yu and Jia Zhen to hold a banquet in Rongning. Ningguo Mansion invites officials and guests, and Rongguo Mansion invites guests.

When the third sister You followed the You family to Ningrong Street, she saw clusters of sedan chairs and horses crowded one after another, and they all lined up outside the street all the way. The subordinates of the two mansions of Ningrong stood on both sides in new clothes to lead the way and sign up.

Second Sister You half-opened the curtain and looked quietly, turned around and smiled: "There are so many people." There are more guests than my grandmother's birthday. ”

When Mrs. You heard this, she smiled and said, "This is natural. Although the Chen family is an upstart, this Rongning Erfu is a meritorious old family, and there are naturally more people who come and go from the old protégés of the world. Didn't you gossip when your eldest sister's family came to gossip before, but not all the people who come here today? It is the family banquet of the two gentlemen, and it is scheduled until the beginning of August. With such a prominent trend, where can ordinary people like us compare. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile. Second Sister You seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up first, and then she showed a gloomy look.

Chen's mother and daughter already knew about Second Sister You's heart disease, and they didn't know what to say for a while. Only Mrs. You saw this scene and was secretly happy in her heart. On the face, he didn't miss anything at all, and still asked the Chen family about the Chen family's intention to move. His mouth was full of envy and said, "I really didn't expect Zizhang to have such a big future." It's only been a few years, and he has become a second-class member of the imperial court. And it's still a fat shortage like the Tobe Squire. The sage asked him to be in charge of overseas trade, the issuance of treasury bonds, and the construction of roads together with merchants, all of which were extremely lucrative errands. After tossing for two years, the Chen family is no longer what it used to be. Now I want to buy a house and buy a house, and I heard that the choice is also a mansion and a mansion, adjacent to the important officials and ministers of the DPRK and the central government...... I calculated that it would cost at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to choose a five-entry mansion in such a location...... The Chen family also said that they would take it out? How much silver has Zizhang made in recent years? ”

Chen looked at the scene outside, and listened to the words of Old Lady You on the side, and smiled unconsciously, and said a little casually: "I don't know about this matter." As the saying goes, a married daughter spills water. I am now the daughter-in-law of the You family, the details of my mother's family, and besides, it is a matter of the grandfathers, how can my brother tell me? However, my brother has always been timid, and I am afraid that he will not dare to fill his own pockets in the court. However, the Chen family had invested in Yutai Commercial Bank a few years earlier, and the money that came to the Chen family was like this. ”

Hearing what Chen said, Mrs. You naturally didn't believe it. She pursed her lips disapprovingly, and said with a smile to Chen: "It's also your child's heart, and you will believe what people say." Where in the world is there a cat that doesn't steal? It's your lord -- the authority in the household department has been limited over the years, and the filial piety of three festivals and two longevitys alone has tens of thousands of taels of silver in a year. Zizhang is a second-class master, and what he holds in his hands is the real power of silver to silver. I don't believe he can watch the silver hit him without stretching out his hand. ”

It is not easy for the Chen family to talk to Old Lady You like this. Fortunately, the subordinates of Rongguo Mansion had already led the carriage of You Mansion to the door. Chen hugged Brother Bao'er, Second Sister You, Third Sister You, Fourth Sister You helped Mrs. You get out of the carriage, and was led into the second gate for a while, Mrs. Xing, the chief daughter-in-law of the Rong Mansion, Mrs. Wang, the chief daughter-in-law of the second room, and the granddaughter-in-law of the Ningguo Mansion, You Shi, hurriedly greeted them. Everyone exchanged a few words of greeting and met each other, and Mrs. Wang led Chen and others into Rongxi Hall to meet Jia's mother.

At that time, the Rongguo Mansion was full of lights, and the people were noisy, which was very festive. Mother Jia was sitting upright in the hall talking to Concubine Nan'an. Seeing Mrs. Wang leading everyone from the You family into the door, Mother Jia had no choice but to get up and say a few words. He also ordered the maid to offer tea.

Seeing this, Concubine Nan'an also smiled at the Chen family, the second sister, and the third sister: "The former son was still paying homage to the old lady in the Chen Mansion. Today, I went to Rongfu to eat Lian'er's wedding wine. Wait until the third day of the eighth month, and it will be Shi Laotaijun's longevity. At the end of September, it was Brother Brother's wedding wine...... It can be seen that the happy events of these two months have been taken up by your family, and only our congratulatory gifts have been deviated. ”

Concubine Nan'an's words fell, and the ladies present were also happy to flatter. Chen was originally also a person who loved to talk and laugh. Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile proudly: "Your family's congratulatory gifts are naturally biased towards us." If you feel that you have suffered a loss, after you go home, you will also urge the brothers and sisters who are not married in the family to get married, and call the married brothers and sisters to pass on the ancestry. Won't all the congratulatory gifts from our family be returned? ”

Everyone laughed at the words. Chen Shi was not satisfied, and took Jia's mother's hand and quipped: "Old lady, you also urge Brother Lian and Feng Yatou to give you a big fat grandson as soon as possible." When the time comes, we can still receive three congratulatory gifts! What a value! ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't help laughing. Pointing at Chen, he said: "Look at Chen's mouth, I originally said that Feng Yatou's mouth is fast and sharp." But if you don't see her mouth, it's even more unforgiving! ”

When everyone heard this, they all joked.

After talking and laughing for a while, I only heard the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums outside from far and near, and it became louder and louder. Then a little girl came to the legend that the team to welcome her relatives returned.

When everyone heard this, they got up and smiled and entered the table. The drama and wine of this day naturally do not need to be elaborated.

Now I only said that the wedding banquet was over, and after the guests went, everyone in the You family also returned to You's house. Since he couldn't eat enough at the dinner, Chen, who had long been experienced, had already ordered the kitchen to prepare a supper. Everyone went to the old lady You's upper room to eat supper and gossip on the other wall.

Because when it came to how prominent and rich the marriage of Rongguo Mansion was and enviable, Mrs. You pointed to Second Sister You and sighed: "So this person lives for a lifetime, and it is really impossible to believe in fate." Don't talk about anything else, just say that the second sister of our family, regardless of family background, appearance and character, where can I compare to that Feng girl. You can marry into the Rongguo Mansion and be the granddaughter-in-law of the long house. Once you enter the door, you can manage the director. Let's take a look at our second sister......"

Old Lady You sneered, because she said, "I really don't know what kind of soup the Zhang family poured into you." A good girl's house, let the lady don't do it. Partial life has to live that precarious life. But Zhang Hua is a person who knows how to be motivated, and I also have to say. But he's such a temperament...... Alas......"

Second Sister You was already sick about this. At this moment, after listening to Mrs. You's words, she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't even eat. With red circles under his eyes, he got up and said, "I'm feeling a little uncomfortable." And don't eat it. Please also ask the old lady and the old lady to use it slowly. ”

But he still owed a debt to the people, and turned away.

When Chen saw it, he also felt that it was not interesting. He put down his chopsticks and complained to Mrs. You: "It was originally a big day, old lady, what are you doing with these?" ”

When Mrs. You heard this, she immediately sneered: "Even if it is a happy event, it is also a happy event for others, and it has nothing to do with you." You don't feel distressed as a mother-in-law, but I treat my second sister as my own granddaughter. Seeing that other people's daughters are getting married, my own granddaughter is gone. Naturally, I wasn't happy. Do you marry your own daughter to a gambler who wants a family background, no family background, no learning, and no knowledge of progress, and you are happy? ”

Chen was choked in his throat by Mrs. You's words, and he almost couldn't breathe. You Ziyu saw it. I had to persuade Mrs. You: "The old lady is sorry for the second sister, so you can also say it." Why bother—"

Before she finished her sentence, Mrs. You continued to sneer: "I wanted to say it well, but your daughter-in-law refused to listen to it." With such a simple and understandable thing, why can't she turn a corner? As the saying goes, a strong twist is not sweet. This marriage is a good marriage between two surnames, if the door is not the right one, how can there be a good outcome? What's more, that Zhang Hua is not good. I don't respect myself, I want to go down, and I have to bring my sister who is tired? How can there be such a truth in this world? ”

Chen was so upset that he couldn't eat anymore.

After eating enough for herself, Third Sister You got up to say goodbye, turned around and went back to the room to rest.

Passing by the second sister's boudoir for a while, I had to go in and take a look. I saw the second sister lying on the bed crying endlessly.

Third Sister You sighed, sat on the couch, and was about to open her mouth to consol. I only heard Fourth Sister You shouting outside, "Second sister, are you there?" ”

Immediately pushed the door in, and saw Second Sister You wiping tears from her eyes, and said with a smile: "Second Sister is such a smart person, Third Sister is such a cool person, why have I forgotten the truth I understand?" ”

Second Sister You was upset, and she didn't care about talking to the fourth girl at all. Hearing this, he rubbed his eyes with a handkerchief and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

When the fourth girl heard this, she didn't care, but still smiled and said, "The second sister is not satisfied with this marriage, so she just told her wife." Mrs. loves her sister so much, sister, you insist on refusing to marry into the Zhang family, will your wife still force your sister to fail for outsiders? What's more, hiding in the room and wiping away tears is useless for a long time. ”

The words of the fourth girl happened to hit the heart of Second Sister You. She sat on the bed and muttered for a while, and then said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. ”

The fourth girl smiled and said, "I know." It's just a white instruction. ”

After that, he looked at the sky again and said, "It's not too early, and I'm tired." I won't disturb the second sister and the third sister to rest. My sister retired. ”

The four girls said that they owed to Second Sister You and Third Sister You, and Shi Shiran retired.

Second Sister You bit her lower lip and stared at the back of the fourth girl, until the figure of the fourth girl was completely invisible, then she turned around and held the hand of Third Sister You, and said, "Third sister, I think what the fourth girl said is very right." I should persuade my mother to divorce the Zhang family. I definitely don't want to marry into the Zhang family! You must not marry Zhang Hua! ”

Third Sister You looked at Second Sister You's tearful but categorical appearance on her cheeks, and unconsciously reached out to wipe her tears for Second Sister You, and said, "Okay." Then you will talk to your mother tomorrow. ”

Second Sister You was stunned when she heard this. She knew that Third Sister You had always been good friends with Zhang Yan. Now that she wants to withdraw from the marriage, she originally thought that Third Sister You would not agree with her words, and even persuaded her to put out the idea of quitting the marriage, where did she think that Third Sister You would say so.

Second Sister You bit her lip hesitantly, but asked cautiously, "Third Sister agrees with me?" You also want me to get out of the marriage? ”

When Third Sister You heard this, she smiled bitterly. Shaking his head, he said, "I can't say it." If I just think about it, if I want to marry a person who has no virtue and no talent, and may learn bad gambling, I don't want to. Even if this person is my childhood sweetheart, he grew up with me. After all, getting married is a major event in a girl's life. Even if I am good friends with the Zhang family and my sister Zhang Hua and brother, I will not bet my life for the rest of my life. ”

Unlike Second Sister You, who is still confused and entangled, Third Sister You, who has crossed over from later generations, knows what kind of virtue Zhang Hua is in the book. Although I regret that I didn't guess when I was young, and I don't know if Zhang Hua can change it in the end, but Third Sister You doesn't dare after all - or she is not qualified to take Second Sister You's lifelong events as a favor.

Since Second Sister You doesn't want to marry Zhang Hua herself, she has no position to criticize Second Sister.

Second Sister You somehow, a heart that originally mentioned her throat and eyes, but after listening to Third Sister You'er's words, she fell to the ground safely. The busy hand held the third sister's hand, and said very excitedly: "I know that the third sister must feel sorry for me and must understand me." ”

Third Sister You rarely saw Second Sister You so excited, and she smiled unconsciously and said, "But the world is impermanent." Even if the second sister doesn't marry Brother Zhang Hua, she may not be able to do everything as she wants. You also know that most of those sons of families are half-hearted. Today faces east, tomorrow faces west, even if you marry a fairy at home, it will only be three years or two years and thrown to the back of your neck......"

"That's better than marrying someone who can't be ridiculed." Second Sister You didn't wait for the third sister to finish speaking, then wiped her tears and sneered: "I'm fed up with those people saying it is for my good in person, but behind their backs they laugh and ridicule the appearance of each plan. I don't want to resign myself to my fate. The old lady said well, a person only lives for sixty or seventy years. I know that I didn't have my sister as smart and clever as I was a child, and I didn't have my sister's competitiveness and wanted to make a career outside. I just want to obey my parents' orders and live a stable life. But they don't want me to be better, they want to laugh at me, ridicule me, pity me, I don't want to live in other people's gossip and after-dinner jokes for the rest of my life......"
