"Why are you unlucky?" Jinxiu asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xie Xiaoyu pouted: "Our Xie family has been in business for several generations, although we have accumulated some wealth, but we have suffered from the officialdom without one of our own people to help support and deal with it, and every year in order to deal with tax affairs, we have to spend a lot of money, which is nothing, just as some harvests, the most hateful thing is that if we encounter some insatiable officials, we can almost say that we are sucking blood and knocking the marrow, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may be ruined by him!" The Xie family has suffered such a loss, and they also want to train scholars to come out, no matter what the price is, as long as they get fame in the exam! It's a pity that over the years, the heirs of the Xie family have not been able to produce a real scholar, and no one has even been able to pass the examination, but they have no teacher in business! The adults in the clan were helpless, so they had to hit the Xie family's daughter with their ideas, preferring to have a more dowry, just hoping to marry a son-in-law who was an official! But how could the marriage between officials and businessmen go so smoothly? From my aunt's grandmother's generation, there are also three or two girls in the Xie family's lineage who are married to their aunts who have made meritorious appointments to officials, but they all respond to the old saying: The girl who marries out spills the water! As soon as they enter their mother-in-law's house, they rarely interact with their mother's family, and even if their mother's family comes to visit, the family's attitude is unbearable...... But the Xie family just doesn't give up, and always hopes to meet someone who is satisfied, so we, the girls of the Xie family, have to be ready to let the son and young master of the official eunuch family choose at any time, if they are really unwilling and can't choose, they can make another plan! ”

Jinxiu looked at Xie Xiaoyu's face with grief and indignation, and felt uncomfortable in her heart, stretched out her hand to pat her, and motioned her to take a sip of tea, but Xie Xiaoyu shook her head and continued: "There are four sisters in my generation, and the age difference is not too big, but I was the first to be engaged, the reason is my mother, my mother has a sister who married a Xiucai, that aunt's family is not good, at first my mother was sympathetic to her, gave three or more subsidies, I don't want my aunt to move around like this, often ask my mother to borrow money and things, my mother also gave it to her, That showman has real talent, and he actually passed the exam! These uncles of the Xie family started to persuade my father and mother to make a marriage between me and the son of that aunt's family! Since then, the Xie family has borne the daily expenses of the aunt's family, and the uncle who is a man of choice only studied for articles, and later really became an official...... In the past ten years, the uncle has been serving as an official in various places, and at the beginning of this year, he entered Beijing, and I heard that he had just been awarded the Beijing official of the five grades! ”

Jinxiu asked: "Then in the past ten years, have you two had any contacts?" ”

"There has always been, before their old Wang family made a fortune, the food and drink depended on the Xie family. Later, even if I became an official, sometimes I needed to do something in the officialdom, and I took a larger amount of silver from my father! ”

"It turns out that your fiancé's family name is Wang, since he has become an in-law with your Xie family, then the relationship between the two families is normal, one is willing to give and the other is willing to accept! However, the Wang family seems to have accepted too much, right? They all regard the Xie family as their own treasury! ”

"That's it, I've seen his housekeeper come over to get the silver countless times, and my father and mother just won't let me talk nonsense!"

"Do you Xie family have any requests from the Wang family and need the help of the Wang family? Your aunt-in-law, do you often come to your house? ”

"Over the years, the Xie family has not had any major events that need his family's help. After Aunt Wang became an official, she was very busy, she never came to Xie's house again, and she rarely communicated with my father, so she only sent a housekeeper if she needed anything. ”

"So, so far, in fact, the Xie family has not received any substantial help from the Wang family?"

"That's right."

"Xiaoyu, do you often go to Wang's house? Is that family good to you? Your fiancé, how does he treat you? ”

Xie Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed again: "When their family never followed their uncle-in-law to their posts, everyone lived in the same city, and I often followed my mother to his house, and at that time the cousins and sisters were quite harmonious, my cousin Baocheng treated me very well, and my aunt treated me well." But in recent years, they have migrated with their uncle-in-law several times, and I go around with my mother during the New Year's holidays, but I feel that the relationship between relatives is not as good as a year! My aunt looked at me with that eye, obviously very disgusted, and the two girls in his family, obviously eating and using the good things of my Xie family, but they regarded themselves as superior, and they pointed out to me when they met! Sister, you also know my temper, where can I be despised by others? Of course, if someone offends me, I will return it! And my cousin Baocheng is a scholar, he respects his parents, protects his younger siblings, and dislikes my behavior very much, and he looks quite impatient, I really have seen enough! So every time I go to his house, I don't break up because of this or that...... But the adults in the family only have to maintain the relationship between the two families, and warn me not to be willful! Now the more I think about it, the more afraid I become, I'm afraid that after marrying into the Wang family, I may not know how to suffer! ”

Jinxiu looked at Xie Xiaoyu and said with a smile: "You only told me that you were engaged before, but you didn't say it in such detail. ”

Xie Xiaoyu frowned: "I'm also stupid, I didn't care about this family affair before, as if I couldn't push it off if I didn't like it, so I didn't want to say too much." Now that it's come to an end, I'm confused - they have to marry me, and I really can't escape! ”

Jinxiu asked: "You are here to get married, why didn't your parents come to give you a marriage?" Didn't the elders and relatives of the family even want to come to the ceremony? ”

Xie Xiaoyu pursed his lips: "The wedding date set earlier is a month later, and our Xie family is willing to come to Beijing in groups to take advantage of the excitement, but the Wang family is not happy!" Aunt Wang repaired a letter to my father, and I don't know what the big truth said, my father and mother will not come! There is a second uncle in the capital who is taking care of the business, and the second uncle and the second aunt will preside over it at that time! ”

"A month later?" Jinxiu groaned and asked again: "Do your second uncle and the Wang family know that you followed my mother into Beijing together?" ”

Xie Xiaoyu said: "The relationship between me and my sister and the Zhongyong General's Mansion may be known to many people in Chizhou City, but I have never publicized it to the outside world, and I have deliberately told my family, the Wang family should not know, and the second uncle may know that my father's letter to his brother will not be hidden." Merely...... It's because I don't want to go to Xie's house too quickly. ”

"You don't want to see the Wang family too soon, do you?" Jinxiu said: "According to what you say, the Wang family is clearly not suitable for you, and that prince is not a good match!" Xiaoyu, haven't you ever thought about getting out of the marriage? ”

Xie Xiaoyu pursed her lips, her expression changed several times, and then she said in a hoarse voice: "I once mentioned it to my father, but my father and mother hurt me, but the rest of the family didn't agree!" I know how much the Xie family has paid to maintain this family affair over the years. Besides, now that Wang's aunt and husband have done the capital, the fortunes of the Wang family are thriving, and his family does not mention the divorce, how dare we merchants be arrogant? When I entered Beijing, my mother cried and begged me, saying that my brother had not yet married and my younger brother was still young, so let me ...... And bear it! (To be continued.) )
