Chapter 226: Meeting (2)
At this time, Xu Jinyu was in the inner mourning hall of the Cao family, and after the condolences, he walked to Cao Ying's side.
Cao Ying was dressed in filial piety clothes, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked extremely thin and haggard.
Xu Jinyu saw it in her eyes, she was distressed and reluctant, and comforted in a low voice: "People can't be resurrected after death, and I hope that Sister Cao will mourn, don't be too sad and hurt your body." ”
Cao Ying didn't have the strength or mood to speak, so she hummed lowly.
Xu Jinyu said in a low voice again: "The eldest brother is also here, just outside in the mourning hall." ”
Cao Ying thought of Xu Zheng, and a feeling of sweet suffering surged in her heart.
If it weren't for the sudden death of his grandmother, today would have been a happy day for Xu Zheng to come to the door to be hired. Now that there is a funeral in the house, the marriage must be put on hold. I'll talk about it when she's out of filial piety
"Sister Cao stays in the house to keep filial piety, you are inconvenient to go out of the house, I will often come to see you." Xu Zheng and Cao Ying are discussing relatives, and it is inconvenient to meet again. She has no scruples and can come to the door at any time. Just enough to pass the word out for the two of them.
Cao Ying nodded lightly.
It was inconvenient to speak much in the mourning hall, so Xu Jinyu stopped after whispering a few words.
The Zou family on the other side, standing beside Mrs. Cao, was also relieved.
Mrs. Cao was very pleased that the Xu family came to the door in time to offer condolences. Although the marriage has not yet been officially decided, the Xu family has moved around as official in-laws, which shows that they are very sincere to this family business.
Mrs. Cao said softly: "Originally, today was supposed to be a big day for the two children, but I never thought that my mother-in-law would go suddenly. I'm afraid that the relationship between the two of them will be delayed. ”
"Mrs. Cao doesn't have to mind." Zou responded empathetically: "As the saying goes, good things are grinding. It doesn't hurt to wait for a year before discussing marriage. ”
According to the custom at this time, my grandmother died. Granddaughters are required to keep filial piety for one year. Within this year, it is inconvenient to mention the matter of marriage. Fortunately, the two families have already had a verbal marriage contract, and they have also agreed on Gengti, so it is nothing to wait for another year.
When Mrs. Cao heard this, she was quite pleased.
Filial piety is a great gift and must be followed. When encountering such a thing, the Xu family couldn't find fault with it. What is rare is that Zou's words are sincere and sincere. Cao Ying will marry into the Xu family in the future. It is also a blessing to have such a kind-tempered mother-in-law
After the condolences, Zou led Xu Jinyu to say goodbye together.
Mrs. Cao, Cao Ying, could not leave the inner mourning hall, and her own shrewd and capable housekeeper mother sent the Zou mother and daughter out of the mourning hall. Just out of the mourning hall. I met the female dependents of the Anguo Mansion.
Ye's gaze swept over Xu Jinyu, and then nodded at Zou quite politely.
Zou also nodded and smiled back.
Although Chen Yuanzhao and Xu Jinyu's family affairs have not yet been decided, both of them are clear in their hearts. The two will inevitably be in-laws in the future. When we met, it was more cordial.
Xu Jinyu is a junior. Naturally, he couldn't lose his courtesy, and stepped forward to salute Ye and Tao: "Jinyu has seen two aunts. ”
Ye smiled lightly: "Jin Niang doesn't have to be polite, get up quickly." ”
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is probably the most complex and delicate relationship in the world. As a mother-in-law, nine out of ten can't get used to their daughter-in-law. There is only one left, and the cultivation may not be revealed.
Ye looked forward to Chen Yuanzhao marrying a wife and having children as soon as possible, as long as Chen Yuanzhao was willing to marry, she would admit what kind of woman she would marry. Therefore, after knowing that Chen Yuanzhao liked Xu Jinyu, the Ye family wanted to promote this family affair. is also very warm and kind to Xu Jinyu.
However, this does not mean that Ye really likes Xu Jinyu so much.
In fact. Ye's feelings for this future daughter-in-law are very subtle. The son who is cold and cold to his mother, but he is a mind to Xu Jinyu, how can he not be pantothenic in his mother's heart?
Of course, with the Ye family's city government, it will never reveal this sour feeling in his heart.
Xu Jinyu's feelings about Ye are even more complicated.
As a woman, she did not abide by women's morality, and secretly stole ~ love with the emperor and gave birth to a son. For so many years, she has been fighting with the queen openly and secretly fighting with her husband, and she has not fallen behind at all, this Duchess of Anguo has a top appearance and scheming city. If she marries Chen Yuanzhao in the future, it will not be easy to deal with such a mother-in-law.
On the other hand, Xu Jinyu has some sympathy and pity for the Ye family.
As a wife and mother, Ye is undoubtedly a loser.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind quickly. However, Xu Jinyu's face was not revealed at all, and after bowing respectfully and gently, he left with the Zou family
When Xu Jinyu and Zou walked out of Cao's house, there were still horse-drawn carriages lined up outside Cao's house, and there was an endless stream of people who came to mourn.
Zou couldn't help but sigh: "The Cao family is prominent, which can be seen. ”
Xu Zheng married Miss Cao's family, and he was indeed high.
Xu Jinyu knew the Zou family's thoughts best, and laughed in a low voice when she heard the words: "Mother, the Cao family is a famous scholarly family, and it is very famous. But we don't have to be complacent. When it comes to getting married, you love me. The eldest brother is a young handsome man who is unique in a thousand miles, which is worthy of Sister Cao. Cao Jiaken nodded and responded to this family business, and he also fell in love with the eldest brother's character and talent. ”
After a pause, he said: "Also, our Xu family has a simple population, and my mother has a gentle and kind temper. After Sister Cao got married, she didn't have to worry about having a bad mother-in-law who was determined to make things difficult, and she didn't have to worry about having a difficult sister-in-law. With such a family affair, how could the Cao family be dissatisfied? ”
The Cao family loves their daughter and doesn't care about the family, they just hope that their daughter will marry well. The Xu family is the most suitable choice.
When Zou heard this, his brows furrowed.
The mother and daughter quickly walked back to their carriage.
Unfortunately, there are carriages stuck in front and back, and it is not easy to leave. I can only wait patiently.
"Strange, why hasn't Zheng'er come out yet?" Zou waited left and right and didn't see Xu Zheng, he was a little anxious, and lifted the curtain to look out.
Xu Jinyu naturally followed Zou's gaze and looked out together: "The eldest brother and Yuan Qing are together, probably because they met an acquaintance again."
Before the words fell, I saw Xu Zheng's figure come into view.
On Xu Zheng's side, in addition to Chen Yuanqing, there is also a familiar figure. Dressed in a military uniform, he is tall and handsome.
It turned out to be Chen Yuanzhao!
After not seeing each other for many days, Chen Yuanzhao was still cold and silent, and there was no special expression on his handsome face. The sharp and condensed eyes are like sharp blades, which make people dare not look directly.
Those compelling eyes met her eyes from afar. Almost instantly, it softened a lot.
Xu Jinyu heard her heart pounding, and her cheeks and behind her ears warmed up inexplicably. (To be continued......)
