Chapter 103

Third Sister You looked at Second Sister You who was wiping tears from her eyes in front of her, and sighed slightly in her heart.

She knew that Second Sister You was unwilling. However, she didn't know how to persuade her second sister. As the saying goes, when the young Mu Ai was thirteen or fourteen years old, he had fantasized about what kind of person he would marry in the future. Whether it is personable and gentle, or a hero with excellent martial arts-

After all, it is not Zhang Hua's kind of busy person who wants to have a family background and no family background, but also has a mediocre appearance and a more uneasy character.

If you talk about Brother Zhang Hua when he was a child, he was quite cute. I also know how to coax people to send silk flower powder to new ingenious things. How is it that now, it is not as good as when I was a child?

Third Sister You sighed with Second Sister You, so she had to take her hand and persuade: "Second sister, don't cry." You have to trust your mother and uncle, and you will definitely not joke about your life's events. If Brother Zhang Hua is really bad, my mother and uncle will not let you marry him. ”

When he was talking, he saw that Chen was not worried about the two sisters, and he also found an excuse to come over. Seeing the second sister sitting on the couch with her eyes and wiping her tears, she had to sigh and said, "Don't cry during the New Year." Don't worry, no matter how the marriage is, as well as your uncle and me, you won't be at a loss. ”

When the second sister heard these words, she still lowered her head and cried silently.

Chen said: "After the New Year, your uncle of the Zhang family will take your aunt and brother and sister south to take office." Although it is only a county with only seven grades, with your uncle's help, the future is also promising...... Regardless of what you say, our two families are also old friends, and your uncle of the Zhang family has helped us a lot. Now that our family is developed and their family is down, we can stretch out our hands wherever we can. ”

When Second Sister You heard this, she was still silent.

Chen thought for a while, and then said, "As for Zhang Hua's matter." Needless to say, I'm worried. Let's see......"

When Chen said this, he stopped talking. Second Sister You'er's eyes lit up, and she looked at Chen unconsciously with hope.

Seeing this, Chen Shi said with a headache: "Look at your crying little cat." It's time to set up the meal later, so you can freshen up and go ahead. There is also your eldest sister returning to the door during the New Year's Festival, as a girl from the You family, you have always been good friends with the eldest girl. How can you hide in the back house and not get out? ”

After that, he hurriedly went back to the front on the grounds that he wanted to entertain people.

Only Third Sister You was left here to accompany Second Sister You to wash her face and comb her hair, and she should be dressed up properly before going to the front for dinner. You Ziyu and the men of the clan entertained Jia Zhen in the front yard, and the old lady You and the Feng family entertained the female relatives of the clan in the backyard.

Because the eldest girl came home in the first year of marriage, there are naturally female relatives in the clan who flatter, so there is no need to go into details. After the meal was finished, after the refreshments, the people in the house waited for their respective homes, and in the next few days, the left was just a small family banquet, and there was no description of the busy chaos.

Now it is only said that after the old age, Zhang Yun really took his wife and children to the south. The Zhang and Chen families are old friends, and when the Chen family learned that the Zhang family was on their way, they naturally wanted to take a pair of children to say goodbye in advance.

At that time, the Zhang family was busy packing their luggage, and when Qiu heard that Chen's mother and daughter were coming to the door, he took Sister Yan out of the second door and brought Chen's mother and daughter into the hall. still holding Chen's hand to thank Dade, he only said that if there was no help from the Chen family, there would never be a Zhang family today.

Chen listened to the wall, and took Qiu's hand to say some parting. Sister Yan accompanied the second sister and the third sister to talk.

Because of the thought of her unsuccessful brother, Sister Yan had to carefully say to the second sister: "My brother went out with my father today, and I don't know how sooner or later I will be able to come back." These days, my brother studies seriously and doesn't go out much. Occasionally, I went out for a walk, and I bought back some small baskets made of willow branches, incense boxes with whole bamboo roots, and a stove with clay stacks...... I look delicate and lovely, as if I love something. I flattered my brother, but my brother didn't give it. I just said it was for the second sister and the third sister......"

When Sister Yan said this, she saw that Second Sister You had been lowering her head and fiddling with her handkerchief, as if she had never heard of it. I couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Third Sister You hurriedly smiled and diverted the conversation. Because he said, "I also like those simple and vulgar gadgets. Last time, He Wangsheng's house went to the house to report the account, but he gave us a lot. I kept it like a baby. As a result, Brother Bao saw it, and he liked it too. I gave him all ...... I heard that when you go to Jiangnan this time, the craftsmanship of Jiangnan people is better, and what kind of needlework fan is even more ingenious. Last time, my uncle brought some back from Jiangnan, and you said that the people over there were so skillful. That kind of needlework pattern is what I have embroidered all my life, and I never want to embroider......"

Sister Yan was feeling embarrassed, and when she saw that Third Sister You took it, she pulled Third Sister You to say something about the customs and customs of Jiangnan. During this period, Second Sister You was still silent, but fortunately, Chen and Third Sister You were both people with smooth and witty words, and it was not embarrassing to have the two of them to accompany them.

Chen only sat at Zhang's house for about half an hour, and then got up to say goodbye under the pretext that there was still an old lady Bao Ge'er to take care of at home. At that time, Zhang Yun's father and son had not yet come home.

Qiu originally wanted to leave Chen's mother and daughter to eat at home, but he couldn't keep it, so he had to send someone out of the second door.

Seeing the You family's carriage staggering away, he let out a long sigh. Sister Xiang Yan'er said: "I look at the marriage between your brother and the second sister...... I'm afraid it's hard to do. ”

Sister Yan'er thought about the appearance of Second Sister You when she was a child, and couldn't help grinding her teeth and said, "It's okay." Who made my brother not angry? Now she is the niece and daughter of the second-class master, the stepsister of the wife of Ning Guofu, and the hottest lady in Beijing. We can't climb up to a broken house like ours. If I were a mother, I would take the initiative to quit this family business, and my face would look better in the future. Don't procrastinate until people get impatient. When the time comes, it will not be good if the family can't get married and become enemies again. ”

When Qiu heard this, he sighed silently. Because he said again: "Fortunately, your aunt and third sister haven't changed much." You said that if your brother had been married to the third sisterβ€”"

Before she finished her sentence, Sister Yan'er already sneered: "I advise my mother not to be delusional." You don't want to look at what kind of mental means the third sister is. When he had only a big idea, he dared to play tricks on the bandits on the Shangyuan Festival, and he also lost his name and surname in front of the saint. Have you ever looked at her over the years? Such a person with a strong heart is a place where ordinary men have to retreat. Do you dare to think of her and her brother...... I said something that I don't like, if it was really her and her brother who got married, and the uncle of the Chen family would have come to the door to regret the marriage, where could she still tolerate this time? ”

Qiu silently listened to his daughter's words, but could only sigh and remain silent.

In the evening, when Zhang Yun's father and son returned home, washed and eaten, and went back to their rooms to rest, Qiu mentioned the matter of Chen's mother and daughter coming to the door to say goodbye. Because he also mentioned the marriage of the two families, he told everything he had said before. In the end, he still sighed: "Sister Yan'er said that our two families are not in the same household now, and it is better to dissolve the marriage contract early and marry each other." Now the Chen family is hot, and Lord Chen is even more Jane in the emperor's heart, with this relationship, the second sister is more than enough to marry into the Houmen Mansion. Our family Hua'er is neither angry, nor does it delay the future of others......"

Zhang Yun listened silently to his wife's words. After pondering for a long time, he said sullenly: "Let's take a look first." At the beginning, I said that I would give Hua'er a chance to change, but as parents, it is not good for us to break our word to our son. The second sister is only 14 years old this year, and she will have to wait a few more years to talk about marriage. She and our family Hua'er are childhood sweethearts, if there is no love for all these years, then I don't believe it. She was just afraid that Hua'er would suffer in the future if she didn't study well. As long as our family Hua'er is willing to change and be motivated, not to mention that he is good to the second sister, maybe the second sister will be happy...... Let's just wait. ”

Qiu Shi listened to Xiang Gong's incoherent persuasion, and sighed silently. She also knew what Zhang Yun meant. If you talk about it, the Chen family is now an official with a prominent position, and there are many people in the court who flatter and stammer. The official eunuch of the family who wanted to marry the Chen family even broke his head. I only hate the Chen family, and the children of the descendants are either not at the right age, or they have already decided to marry.

Now, as long as it is released that Second Sister You and the Zhang family have withdrawn from the marriage, I am afraid that those who have learned from the camp will immediately break through the threshold of the Chen family. What's more, Second Sister You is also beautiful and docile, but she only looks at her appearance and character, and she is afraid that men in this world will also flock to her.

Therefore, Zhang Yun was really reluctant to withdraw from this marriage for the sake of his son. Moreover, there is also Zhang Yun's little calculation in it - he is afraid that after retiring from this family business, the Chen family and the Zhang family will no longer have the name of in-laws, and Chen Qi will no longer help him.

Zhang Yun is now also a person who has stepped into officialdom with a pair of feet. Naturally, I know the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, if there is no backer, the road ahead will be bumpy.

All kinds of things made Zhang Yun see it thoroughly, but he was reluctant to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage. I had to take Qiu's hand like a quail and say, "I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning." All the way to the dust, the most exhausting energy. Let's settle it sooner. ”

Seeing this, Qiu no longer persuaded him. Served Zhang Yun to wash, and did not mention the lights out.

Now let's say that since the Zhang family left, it has been February in the blink of an eye. Everything is recovering, and it is advisable to break ground.

Because a few years ago, the Chen family had asked the third sister to hand over the spice shop to the second sister to take care of, and open another branch by herself. The third sister obeyed her words.

It's just that after inspecting a house and Liangjiang shop given to him by her uncle Chen Qi, and accompanying the eldest girl of the You family to meet some noble girls, she was inspired and remembered another business model that she had seen in later generations - it can not only sell spices, ready-to-wear, pearls and cui, but also serve as a place for leisure gatherings, health and beauty, and even become a ...... to provide contacts and expand communication

That's right, Third Sister You thought of a private club!
