What does the old lady want to discuss with the old marquis?

Naturally, it is a matter of the marriage between the An family and the Xie family.

Although the old marquis has never expressed his position positively, the old lady can see that as early as the New Year, when the boss of the Xie family came to the door with his wife and children, he nodded his head, but at that time, the boss of the Xie family just came to explore the situation, and he didn't really make up his mind.

The old lady was very glad that she didn't let go of her bite at that time, otherwise judging from the current situation, Xie Wu was really not a good match.

Of course, the old lady also has her own considerations, even if there is no such thing as today's poetry meeting, she will not nod lightly and promise Sister Jin to Xie Wu. She always remembered that the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law had said that the eldest son of the Zhou family, that is, the son of her second cousin's niece, had a good impression of Sister Jin. She estimated that the two young people could see each other, even so, she naturally favored her own cousin in her heart, besides, her cousin was much stronger than Xie Wu, and there has always been no reason to give up the good and the inferior.

No one wants their juniors to marry, or marry someone of inferior character.

Xie Wu now belongs to this kind of person in the eyes of the old lady.

Even so, the old lady didn't chew the root of her tongue and belittle the Xie family, she just told the truth and told the old marquis what happened in the Changping County Lord's Mansion, and didn't add a word about it.

The old marquis couldn't say that his feelings for the old lady were deep, but he believed the old lady's words very much, and after the old lady finished speaking, he frowned and thought deeply, and he had no doubts at all.

Seeing this, the old lady beat the side drum next to her, and pretended to sigh with emotion: "If it is just the matter of the Changping County Lord's Mansion, we will have more than one thing and one less thing, don't care, although the eldest daughter-in-law and Sister Jin have been wronged, but the Xie family and our An family are families, and our two families can't be separated for such a little thing, and the eldest daughter-in-law is also sensible, so she didn't publicize it." A few days ago, the Xie family was in the limelight, and I still thought that if the Xie family still had intentions, they would settle the relationship of the two children, after all, this is a matter that is beneficial to both of our families, even if the eldest daughter-in-law and Sister Jin disagree, I can persuade them, they are always for the sake of the Hou Mansion, but I didn't expect ......"

Speaking of this, the old lady let out a long sigh, "I just listened to the words of the fifth child, I don't know what to do, Master Hou, this matter is up to you." ”

The old lady's words were in and out of measure, and she couldn't find any mistakes, and she always put the interests of the Hou Mansion and the friendship with the Xie family at the forefront, which made the old Hou Ye very comfortable to hear.

As for the hint in the old lady's words, the old marquis naturally understood it.

The wife is so knowledgeable, and the daughter-in-law is sensible, how can the old marquis not express it?

With a straight face, he said sharply: "Such a big thing happened in the Changping County Lord's Mansion, how can you hide it?!" Our An family and the Xie family are world friends, but this does not mean that his Xie family can slander and bully my An family at will! Everyone is bullied to the end, if we still swallow our anger, how will outsiders say that we are settled? ”

The old lady knew that he was using the topic to play, and she was busy admitting her mistake in fear: "It's because the concubine is not thoughtful, and the Hou Ye is angry." ”

The old marquis snorted indignantly twice, his eyes flashed with satisfaction with his wife's attitude, and then he eased his tone and waved his hand: "That's it, you are also to maintain the friendship between the Anxie family, and it is no wonder that you are not guilty, but remember not to be so confused in the future." ”

"The concubine remembered." The old lady lowered her posture.

The old marquis nodded with satisfaction, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

The old lady's eyes flashed slightly, so she said in embarrassment: "Sister Jin's family affairs ......"

"The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family did such a thing, could it be that her son still wants to marry my granddaughter?" The old marquis didn't wait for her to finish, so he interrupted with a cold snort, but he didn't mention the matter of today's poetry meeting at all.

"But it's up to the Hou Ye to decide." The old lady smiled and bowed her head.

On the face of obedience and pandering, in the heart, the old lady is like a mirror.

She knew that the old marquis was just looking for an excuse, looking for an excuse that could not only justifiably alienate the Xie family, not be implicated by the Xie family, but also not fall into the mouth, and it was precisely because of this that she did not tell the old marquis what happened in the Changping County Lord's Mansion before the poetry meeting, because she knew that if she spoke before the poetry meeting, then, no matter how much Mrs. Xie did, the old marquis would not take a positive position. Now it's different, Xie Wu made such a big joke at the poetry meeting, the Xie family will not lose in the next few decades, even if it is not defeated, it is destined to have no great development, the old marquis has always put interests first, at this time, how could he marry the precious daughter of the long house to someone who is not helpful to the Hou Mansion?

This is the reality between people, even if it is a world relationship, feelings are based on interests.

The Xie family was excluded from the list of marriages by the old marquis.

The old marquis and the old lady chatted without mentioning it.

On the other hand, An Wensheng and An Wenyan said goodbye to An Shiyan, because by the way, the two brothers went back to the room together.

An Wensheng's courtyard was in front, and after arriving, he invited An Wenyan to go in and sit, An Wenyan did not refuse, and entered the courtyard with him, but without waiting for the two to sit down and drink tea, the big girl Liu Wu, who was waiting beside An Wensheng, came up to report: "Young master, at noon, the second lady asked someone to come and pass the word, saying that after the young master came back, please invite the young master to come over for a small gathering." ”

"Didn't say what it was?" An Wensheng didn't care, and poured two cups of tea, one and sent one to An Wenyan.

"I didn't say it." Liu Fu shook his head.

"Got it." An Wensheng nodded and waved his hand to let the catkins retreat.

An Wenyan asked, "When will the eldest brother pass?" The younger brother also wanted to stop by to see Lan'er. ”

Hearing this, An Wensheng bowed his head and said: "In this case, let's go over now, I don't know what that girl is tossing." ”

The two brothers went out again and went to the Yi Rong Yuan.

When they arrived at the East Courtyard of Deyi Rongyuan, the two went to see An Ruojin first, and it happened that An Ruolan was also there, which saved An Wenyan a lot of effort.

An Ruolan saw the two brothers who entered the door, and greeted with a smile: "Brother Sheng, Brother Yan, you are back so early!" ”

Although she used a surprised tone, there was no doubt or surprise in her expression, which showed that she had expected this for a long time.

An Wensheng raised his eyebrows, and only said, "If something happened, I came back early." ”

The two girls who had long known what was going to happen looked at each other and smiled, and An Ruojin smiled and groaned in a very good mood: "Big brother, third brother, come and sit." ”

Seeing this, An Wensheng became more and more sure of what they knew, and even An Wenyan saw the clues, but they were not troubled people, so they didn't ask much. R1152
