CHAPTER XLIII

You Ziyu was quite surprised to look at You Lao'an who did not hide his eagerness at all, saying that in the past year, You Ziyu has almost worn out his mouth, and he just asked You Lao'an to reluctantly accept Chen's remarriage with his two daughters because of the snobbery of the Chen family. This marriage was slightly twisted and turned due to Chen's concerns, and he was also worried that You Lao'an would veto this family affair and find another daughter-in-law in anger. I never expected You Lao'an people to react like this.

Isn't it the saying that it's not the buying and selling that is in the hurry, but the one who should be on the top?

You Ziyu smiled secretly in his heart, swallowed the words that came to his mouth, changed the description, sighed worriedly, and said: "Brother Ruzhang is chatting with me - hey, speaking of this, it is really difficult for me to speak. ”

You Lao'an looked at You Ziyu's lonely description, and he didn't feel a little panicked in his heart. Hurriedly asked, "What the hell are you talking about?" But they dislike that our You family is not as rich and powerful as the Chen family now, so they don't want to get married to this family? ”

When You Ziyu heard this, he subconsciously shook his head, and then smiled bitterly: "Although not." But not far off. ”

After that, he didn't wait for You Lao'an to ask, and sighed to himself: "Mother also knows, and her son is now past the age of confusion. If in an ordinary family, at the age of a son, there are already a group of children under his knees, I am afraid that the children will breed grandchildren. Only the son, who is really desolate under his knees. Although there are several daughters Chenghuan, they are not men who are in the top of the household. If it is said that the stomachs of the wives and concubines are not angry, but over the years, although our You family is not the family with such a group of wives and concubines, there are not a few aunts and concubines. Brother Zhang Xian already knew all about these situations. In the early years, I didn't feel anything, but in the past two years, I have seen ...... He was afraid that his son's health would be poor, and the Chen family would come to the door in the future and be helpless for life. ”

You Lao'an was originally very dissatisfied with Chen's widowhood, and even more disliked Chen's move of marrying with an oil bottle, if it weren't for the snobbery of the Chen family to help her son go further in his career, she would never agree to this marriage.

But after listening to You Ziyu's words at this time, You Lao'an people no longer care about picking and choosing the Chen family. She also knows her own situation. Back then, because his daughter-in-law couldn't give birth to a son for a few years, You Laoan really picked a few girls who were good to raise and put their faces in his son's house, and You Ziyu himself was also looking for two delicate aunts to enter the door. But over the years, counting the dead daughters-in-law, You Ziyu only has these daughters under his knees. It can be seen that the You family does not have many heirs.

Did he really answer the words of the Chen family?

You Laoan's heart sank. After a long time, Fang Cai said slowly: "Since this is the case, what does the Chen family say?" Could it be that for such a concern, the family affairs of the two families cannot be stopped? ”

As soon as You Lao'an spoke, he suddenly thought that because the Chen family wanted to keep filial piety for her late husband and plan for the woman's reputation, the Chen You family had never officially proposed marriage at all, but everyone knew each other tacitly. They all intend to wait for the filial piety period to pass, and then do the things of recruitment. Until then, both sides have been tight-lipped about the matter.

In other words, even if the Chen family rebels today, their You family will not be able to do it.

Thinking of this, You Lao'an people have the heart to say that if they can't do it, they can't do it, is it possible that without the Chen daughter, their You family can't find a good daughter-in-law? What's more, Chen is not innocent, and she still feels that a widow with two daughters is not worthy of her son?

But after thinking about it, now looking for matchmaker Zhang Luo's relatives is better than knowing the roots of the Chen family. What's more, You Ziyu waited for the Chen family for many years in vain, and during this period, he even worked hard to persuade and persuade peace, which also left You Lao'an people with the impression that although the Chen family is not complete, it is rare to be suitable.

Now that he suddenly heard that this family business was not done, You Lao'an was in a trance, and he felt that for a while, he couldn't think of a girl who was more suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the You family than the Chen family. It's not that the appearance and temperament are not comparable, or the furniture is not worthy. So after thinking about it, I didn't feel stunned. Because he thought that You Ziyu had not given birth to a son for so many years, he was even more anxious and anxious in his heart. is full of depression, which is even more miserable than learning that the Chen family wants to regret their marriage.

You Ziyu saw that You Lao'an was so stunned, and he couldn't help but regret it in his heart, and only blamed himself for what he said. Although he successfully mastered his mother, he really shouldn't have asked his mother to suddenly face the cruel reality that the You family's incense might be broken. Then he hurriedly smiled and said, "What did my mother say?" Since this marriage was agreed between the two families in private, the Chen family now has no intention of regretting the marriage. It's just that Brother Ruzhang was worried about my poor body and bones, so I discussed with my son privately and wanted to ask an old lady doctor to take care of my son's pulse and maintain it...... Mother also knows that Brother Ruzhang is deeply valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he has often walked around the East Palace in the past two years, and he also knows several old doctors with good pulses. If someone else does not have this blessing, it is only because his son is friendly with him that he is willing to give up this face to ask for help. ”

You Lao'an people were already sick because of You Ziyu's words. Now listening to You Ziyu say this, where is there anyone who disagrees. Joyful and busy, he smiled: "This is a very good idea. Don't say that you don't have many heirs now, you don't have anything, and you're in your forties. You should ask the old lady doctor to take a look, and take more care in your spare time. ”

You Ziyu looked at her mother's expression, and said, "It's just one piece." Another ...... For example, Brother Zhangxian also mentioned yΓ¬, after the Chen family got married, if there was no news for three consecutive years, or our aunt did not give birth to a son, please ask the clan to be the master and pass on a child for the Chen family. In this way, not only will the Chen family have a lifelong support, but even the incense of our You family will have to continue. It also lives up to the ancestors of our house. ”

When You Lao'an heard this, he also felt that the Chen family's suggestion was a foolproof strategy. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "This matter is not worth anything, just discuss it with a few clan elders at that time." The top priority is to ask the old lady to come and check your pulse. I'm so relieved. ”

You Ziyu smiled and should be. You Lao'an thought for a while, and then asked, "Now the Chen family's filial piety period has also passed." What the Chen family means, when will our family come to the door to propose? ”

You Ziyu originally discussed with You Lao'an about asking the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse, but he never thought that there would be such an unexpected joy, and He Lao'an people had no resistance to Chen. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "I just got out of filial piety today, and I'm not busy." Moreover, although the Chen family is remarried, the Chen family is very concerned about this family affair, and they also have to prepare dowries and other things for the Chen family. I also have to prepare for the small affairs of Brother Ge'er and the Xu family, as well as Brother Ge'er's dowry. In two months, it will be the farewell banquet of our eldest girl...... After these few things have passed, it will be after next year before I can officially come to the door to propose. ”

When You Lao'an heard this, he remembered the marriage between Chen Ju's son Chen Ju and Xu Zichuan's daughter, so he asked: "I heard that the wife of Lord Xu is a famous salt merchant in Yangzhou. That rich family background, ouch, compared to our luxury family in Beijing, is also better. Brother Huan married the girl of their family as his wife, and I am afraid that this dowry will have to be organized for a few students. ”

When You Ziyu heard this, he smiled again: "No matter how rich the Yangzhou salt merchant is, it is just a lot of gold and silver in the family, if it weren't for Xu Zichuan, an old man from Hanlin, it would be worthless." Have you ever heard that Sister Wan, the daughter of Brother Ruzhang, is now married to the eldest son of the young owner of the Yutai Commercial Bank in Beijing. Compared with the salt merchants in Yangzhou, the owner of this Yutai firm is a remarkable figure. Their family was originally from Shanxi Jin merchants, and it is said that there were people in their ancestors who had been second-class masters in the previous dynasty. Now the eldest son is also studying in Guozijian, and he is only sixteen years old this year, and he has won the show. It is the proud protΓ©gΓ© of Li Shouzhong, the priest of the country. Looking at this situation, in the future, I will also enter the official from the imperial examination. ”

When You Ziyu said this, he couldn't help but smile a little proudly and said: "Not to mention the pride of Brother Ruzhang Xian in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, just look at the two in-laws that Brother Ruzhang Xian married to his own children, mother, you said, the son's family affair this time is not bad, right?" ”

When You Lao'an heard this, he was surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, this Chen Ruzhang's vision is good. These two family affairs are beneficial to the Chen family. ”

While speaking, the carriage had arrived at You's door. Only then did You's mother and son stop talking, get out of the car and go home, wash and rest.

Not to mention how the You mother and son are at ease. It is only said that the Chen family, the eldest sister and the second sister have been filial piety for three years, and they have long been accustomed to the quiet years at home. Now it is suddenly busy, only the ushering of this day is coming, and the greetings are already tired. After going to the room to faint, he only said a few words, and then wanted to go back to the room to wash and rest.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jue came to the door by himself. After taking the two sisters back to the room to sleep, like this, he told Chen Shihe about the things he had discussed with You Ziyu before. The Chen family has been bothering about this matter for the past few days, and they never thought that their brother had already secretly solved the trouble, and they were overjoyed. The busy water and tea thanked: "Thank you brother for bothering me." If it weren't for my brother's resourcefulness, I wouldn't know what to do. ”

Chen Jue consciously solved the hidden worries neatly, and was quite proud, and immediately held the tea and said with a smile: "It's just that the You family knows the roots, and Brother Ziyu really cares about you, which is a good match." If it were someone else, I wouldn't have the time to deal with it. Now that everything is in order, my sister is ready to get married with peace of mind. ”

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but think of the past, because I shook my head and smiled: "I don't know where the second sister learned to be tricky and weird, and she is a big ghost." You said such a simple thing, we didn't expect it before. If I had thought about it earlier, it might not be the case today. ”

Chen Qi just said it casually, but in Chen's ears, he was sure in his heart. After pondering for a long time, he smiled thoughtfully: "Perhaps, this is a coincidence." ”
