Chapter 453: Hiring
Mrs. Guo's side, but after only two days' work, she was ready to go.
invited Gu Shi, the daughter-in-law of Wu Zaoxiu, a student of the old lady and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, to be a Quanfu person, and went to Baoding Mansion with the official media to be hired.
The Gu family is a side branch of the Gu family in Haining, and Cheng Zheng's husband Gu Xu is a young Zhan Shi in the Zhan Mansion, and he is also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, so among Cheng Jing's in-laws, the first one to know about Cheng Chi's marriage turned out to be Gu Xu.
Because Wu Zaoxiu's family has six generations in the same house, the Gu family is a well-known Quanfu person in the capital, and there are many people who come to her to kiss her, and Gu Xu doesn't take it to heart. Until Zhou Cheng's two families exchanged Geng stickers and were about to be hired, Gu Xu inadvertently asked Cheng Zheng one morning: "Uncle Chi, you are going to get married, the old lady is old, won't you go over to help?" ”
"What?" Cheng Zheng was stunned, "Uncle Chi is getting married?" Who are you listening to? How did I not know? Whose daughter is Uncle Chi going to marry? ”
Cheng Chi's marriage is the Cheng family's business, and they are juniors, so naturally there is no need to say anything to them.
But the law is nothing more than human affection, Cheng Zheng is the granddaughter that the old lady values the most, when there is something at home in Jinling, Mrs. Guo will write a letter to come over and Cheng Zheng, Cheng Chi is going to get married, such a big thing, it is reasonable, even if Mrs. Guo does not discuss with Cheng Zheng which girl is suitable, she should also tell her in advance.
The couple couldn't help but exchange a look.
Cheng Zheng immediately got off the kang and said to Gu Xu: "I may come back a little late today, don't wait for me." ”
Gu Xu said: "I heard that she is the second daughter of the Baoding prefect Zhou. It was the second cousin who used to be raised in the old lady's house.
Cheng Zheng's brain exploded all of a sudden.
How could grandmother ask Uncle Chi to marry the second miss of the Zhou family?
Jiashan he ......
How do you get along with each other when you eat in the same pot in the future?
Shaojin is more than a dozen years younger than her?
Not to mention, Uncle Chi has not been married for a long time, and it is normal to find a little girl who is more than ten years younger than her. But Zhou Shaojin is the granddaughter of the fourth room. What about the generation away from Uncle Chi? It would have been impossible in any way without dividing the sect...... But after the separation......
Something flashed through Cheng Zheng's mind and he didn't catch it.
She had a splitting headache.
Although the two families are not as close as before, after being in-laws for so long, there are still some things that should be taken care of.
It's just that Uncle Chi is about to come out...... Isn't this a handover to someone to handle?
Cheng Zheng stopped, turned around and looked at Gu Xu steadily: "Is this news reliable?" ”
"Listen to what Lord Wu said." Gu Xu didn't think much about Cheng Zheng, but he just felt that this matter was a bit against common sense, and Cheng Zheng should go back to see if something had happened at home. "You know, too. The third daughter-in-law of Lord Wu's family is a girl from the Gu family, she gave birth to five sons and three daughters, and she often gives people a blessed person. I listened to Wu Da. ”
Of course, when Gu Xu was in the Hanlin Academy. Lord Wu took care of him a lot, and the two families were very close.
Cheng Zheng nodded carelessly, settled his son, and dressed up. I hurried to Chaoyangmen.
Mrs. Guo was talking to Mrs. Wu San, Wu Zaoxiu's daughter-in-law: "So, the old man didn't say anything?" ”
Mrs. Wu San smiled and nodded. said: "Not only did the in-laws say nothing, but the in-laws saw us going to hire, and the smile on her face didn't stop." It can be seen that the Zhou family is very satisfied with this family matter. ”
Mrs. Guo was very happy.
The in-laws are satisfied with this matter, that is, they are satisfied with her son. She also felt a light on her face.
She temporarily doubled the red seal to Mrs. Wu San: "I'm bothering you." ”
This matchmaker has rules and exquisiteness in taking the red envelopes of the thank you matchmaker. There is no excuse.
Mrs. Wu San smiled and thanked her, and discussed the wedding date with Mrs. Guo: "This is the day when the master of the in-laws divined out, when do you think it is appropriate?" ”
Mrs. Guo took a look. It's all next year, and I closed the letter in my hand. said: "I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you to run again, our family wants to set the day of marriage this year." You also know that our Shiro is much older than Miss Zhou's second sister, and he is about to go to Jining to take office, and he won't be able to come back in three or five years, and when it drags on, Miss Zhou's second miss is also older. ”
Mrs. Wu San was not surprised, and said with a smile: "The in-laws didn't say anything, but the girl didn't have a good relationship after all, and she couldn't support a poor family, so I thought that we should give the in-laws a little more decency - it is best to invite a matchmaker to urge marriage." ”
In this way, Song Jingran and Zhang Hui had to be invited to Baoding Mansion.
Both of them are humerus ministers of the imperial court, especially Song Jingran, a scholar of Dongge University, and a scholar of the household department, and they don't have time to go home for dinner, so how can they go to Chaobaoding Mansion in person?
Mrs. Guo also hesitated a little and said, "Then I'll discuss it with my son first." ”
Mrs. Wu San also knew that this matter was quite tricky, and said, "Otherwise, it would be okay to invite the second old lady of your mansion to come over!" It's just to let people outside see the sincerity of the Cheng family, marrying the second miss of the Zhou family at such a short time, and they didn't mean to snub her, it was the Cheng family who wanted to marry her as soon as possible. ”
This is more certain.
Old Madam Guo nodded.
The little maid came in to show off, and the aunt and grandmother came back.
Mrs. Wu San took the opportunity to leave.
Mrs. Guo personally sent her to the door, and then she saw Cheng Zheng.
Cheng Zheng has never met Mrs. Guo, and explained his intentions straight to the point.
Mrs. Guo smiled: "Speaking of which, your mother reminded me of this matter. I didn't think of asking to marry Shaojin for your Uncle Chi before, but your mother mentioned to me a few days ago that the sixth lady of the Fang family, Ah Xuan, I thought that Zhou Shaojin was about the same age as her, and she knew the roots, I grew up with my own eyes, and it was better to marry Shaojin than to marry someone like Ah Xuan who had only met a few times. As for Jiashan, he is still growing up in this life, and he will encounter more unpleasant things in the future, and he should also learn patience and compromise in some things. Speaking of this, Mrs. Guo's tone became brisk, "Didn't your mother keep Jiashan open and enter the cabinet?" This thing should be regarded as a training for him! ”
But how cruel is this kind of ordeal!
Cheng Zheng was a little afraid to think about it.
But there was a flash of inspiration in my head.
Could it be that Uncle Chi took a fancy to Zhou Shaojin?!
That's why grandmother let Zhou Shaojin enter the door?
She thought of Cheng Chi asking her to take care of Zhou Shaojin before.
At that time, Uncle Chi was very sincere, why didn't he see him in the summer, and everything changed.
Cheng Zheng's face was full of confusion.
The smile on Mrs. Guo's face faded. Said: "Ah Zheng, I will live with your Uncle Chi here in Chaoyangmen in the future, everyone is far away, just meet when the festival is approaching, you don't have to worry too much about Jiashan!" ”
If it was really Uncle Chi who took a fancy to Zhou Shaojin, this matter would be reasonable.
But when did Uncle Chi take a fancy to Zhou Shaojin?
Cheng Zheng was very helpless.
What if she knew?
It's done, and it's useless for her to say more.
Not to mention that this matter also involved her mother.
And the mother and grandmother were at odds. When they were children, their sisters couldn't see it. can marry someone and preside over the middle feed of a house, so he will naturally taste some flavor.
She muttered yes. "My mother, do you know about this?" ”
"After all, your Uncle Chi's matter is still a little bit worse, so I didn't say anything." Mrs. Guo said lightly, "Now the marriage has an eyebrow." You should also sue your mother and your second aunt. It's just that your mother is busy with Jiashan's marriage these days, so I'm afraid she doesn't have time to pay attention to this matter. ”
Other words. Although Mrs. Guo spared the Yuan family's comatose province, the Yuan family really didn't come over much, and complained a little that the Yuan family only cared about his son and didn't care about the meaning of the little uncle.
Cheng Zheng's face turned red.
On one side is the grandmother who raised her, and on the other side is the mother who gave birth to her. She was torn between a rock and a hard place.
Old Madam Guo didn't let go of Yuan's meaning, and said, "Since you came out today, let's go back?" See how Jiashan's wedding is getting ready? By the way, tell your mother the news of your Uncle Chi's Dingning. lest she always be in the mind! ”
With Fang Xuan's matter, the old lady's word "worry" was used a little and subtly.
Cheng Zheng is not good to say anything more. changed the topic with a smile and said, "I don't know if there is anything I can help with the fourth uncle's marriage?" ”
Mrs. Guo smiled: "Let's go two days!" When the wedding date is set, you will have to come back to help your sisters. When she said this, she seemed happy.
Cheng Zheng smiled bitterly and went to Xinglin Hutong.
A face-wrenched lady stood in the hall and talked to the Yuan family, who was surrounded by maids.
Yuan Shi beckoned to Cheng Zheng with a smile on his face: "You came just in time, a steward recommended this antique shop to me, this is a wall screen made of Ru kiln fragments in their shop." How about you come and see? I want to hang it in your brother's study......"
is actually decorating Cheng Xu's new house with all his might.
Cheng Zheng thought of the expression on the face of Mrs. Guo's words just now, and suddenly complained a little about her mother in her heart.
As a daughter-in-law, even if she is busy with things in Xinglin Hutong, she should take the time to go to her grandmother to say hello. Grandmother asked her not to go to the morning and dusk, she really didn't go, and she didn't even know that the fourth uncle was going to get married.
She replied a few words randomly, and Yuan Shi saw that her love was not high, and thought that something had happened to her family, so he sent the person who played the ancient shop to talk to her in the inner room.
Cheng Zheng told the Yuan family about Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin's marriage.
Yuan Shiru struck a blow to the head, jumped up and shouted, "Why don't I know about this? Why did you come to sue me at this time? I have already agreed with the second wife of the Fang family, and I am going to give you Uncle Chi and Ah Xuan as matchmakers......"
Cheng Zheng became more and more dissatisfied with his mother, and said, "How long has my mother not gone to greet my grandmother?" Uncle Chi's marriage was also told by her old man when I went to visit my grandmother today. I thought that my grandmother came to the capital, and it was when my mother was filial, so I should know about the marriage of the fourth uncle, and I was going to ask you what was going on? I didn't think you knew either. ”
As for the words "I have already agreed with the second wife of the Fang family", she didn't want to mention it at all.
The fourth uncle is not the death of both parents, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and she needs her mother to help Zhang Luo get married.
When will it be time to talk about the marriage of Uncle Chi when the mother will come to take care of Uncle Chi!
