Chapter 82: Cousin
The brine points tofu, one thing drops one thing, the old lady is most afraid that her grandson will be unhappy, and Brother Shen looks at her with complaining eyes, and the old lady has no idea in her heart.
Brother Shen pursed his lips and said, "Jinyun is waiting for his family to fall into the trap early, he has several sons and grandchildren in his family, and his grandsons are older than my fourth sister, what do you say my fourth sister is married, I don't agree to this marriage, and my father won't agree, I still think that I can borrow my brother-in-law's light in the future." β
The old lady also knew that it was inappropriate, so she only told Yufang, as long as Yufang was willing, her son would have nothing to say, right? Now that even Brother Shen is unwilling, the old lady has to change her tone, "It's just that Yufang is a concubine, and she doesn't look good, and her marriage will be sad in the future." β
Brother Shen almost wanted to roll his eyes, he simply messed around, "Then I don't care, Mr. is now asking me to copy the book, how can I have so much effort?" You have to keep the fourth sister for me, and let her come over every afternoon to help me copy the book. He turned his head arrogantly and said to Yufang, "Don't forget, you can hurry over after you're done with housework in a while, I'm still waiting to use it." β
Yufang agreed and slowly withdrew, walking slowly with her head down, she waited for the maid Xiaolian below to follow, "Fourth Miss, there are several housekeepers waiting in the council room." β
Yufang responded and walked over there, taking advantage of no one's time to open the palm, a big red jujube engraved with the word "rest assured", revealing the white flesh, it seemed to be grinning, a warm current surged into her heart, Yufang put the big red jujube on the side of her mouth and kissed it gently, her eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly.
Yutan also happened to come to look for her, and Yufang greeted her with a smile, "Second sister, you're here." β
Yutan looked at her expression and smiled, "It seems that I came out this time redundantly, I was afraid that you would be angry with Brother Shen, but now it seems that there is none." β
Yufang smiled, "Where is my sister who doesn't know how to rely on it, second sister, look at this." β
Yutan looked at the carved red dates, and couldn't help laughing, "Brother Shen has so many thoughts, but Brother Shen is also in trouble now, you haven't seen that Lu Yan'er, such a rude little girl, I can't catch Brother Shen now, I don't have that kung fu now, you go over to help him copy the book in the afternoon, and you have the opportunity to persuade him well, let him not go to his heart first, I don't know what variables this marriage will have in the future, I always have to help him if I have a way." β
Yutan quietly told SΓΉ Yufang about the Lu family, which were all popular gossip in the capital over the years, "Do you understand?" The Lu family may not be willing yet. β
Yufang never knew such a story, where did her little concubine have the opportunity to hear these secrets? Lord Zhou is arrogant and jealous, her daughter is rude and willful, and Yufang also sweats for Brother Shen in her heart.
As soon as Yutan said this, he was urged by the Qi family, the wedding date was approaching, everything was trivial, Yutan replied to Qi's question, and watched the maids busy for a while, grandmother sent someone to find her, the old lady also wanted to say a few more words to her granddaughter, and she personally instructed her to mention everything, in short, she taught Yutan some truths about being a wife, and Yutan had to agree.
The elders and relatives in the family also came one after another, Qi ordered people to clean up a delicate cross-courtyard in the northwest corner of the garden, which is considered to settle these relatives, and there are good food and drink every day, and there are also uncles, aunts, grandmothers from the family, and there are also old sisters of the old lady's mother's family, and there are cousins and elders who have a harmonious relationship, and there are more than a dozen cousins of the next generation, the third lady and the fourth lady also brought their daughters over every day, Qi's family did not come, and her sister-in-law only let the next person send two cars of congratulatory gifts.
Yutan also has to entertain these relatives from time to time, talk to the cousins, uncles, aunts, cousins look at Yutan are indescribably liked, even praise her good fortune, all count on her in the future to be able to pull, the old lady smiled kindly, just smile reservedly, the son is angry, the granddaughter is beautiful, the old lady is satisfied, but it is a pity that the baby grandson is often not in the house these days, Brother Shen doesn't know where to run these days, speaking of the baby grandson, the old lady has endless words, I can't wait to show it off from time to time, and these relatives are also smiling and flattering.
The old man is old, and he also has such a blessing, the old man is also a man of the year in the house fight, half of it is luck, half of it is also ability, the old lady often sighs that her daughter-in-law is a blessed person, like her old man when he was young, and his life is called a bitterness.
Sister Chan's grandmother didn't help the old lady to work hard back then, the old lady relied on her son to establish a foothold in the Hou Mansion, and later dealt with the daughter-in-law of the long house, the old lady was quite far-sighted, and she saw everything thoroughly, and now the old man is worried about her granddaughter, Duchess Yingguo is a stepmother, and she looks like a very cool person, Yutan's temperament is stubborn, and she is not very likely to be soft, where will she please her mother-in-law, even her husband She may not be able to hold it, and her mother-in-law has a ready-made reason to pinch her.
There has always been incompatibility between stepmothers and sons, for a title, for those properties in the family, what means can't be used, the easiest way is to cut off your heirs first, and then say, the family property is naturally the second room.
The old lady deeply realized that her granddaughter was in urgent need of a helper, and she had to take the backyard of the Yingguo Mansion in her hands, Yutan didn't have this heart, how could she not make her grandmother very anxious, and watched coldly for a few days, and she didn't know what Sister Chan's grandmother said to the old lady, and the old lady thought so.
Among these little sisters, Sister Chan is the most proficient at things, she looks like an old lady when she was young, a pair of big eyes are like she can speak, and she is very seductive, Sister Chan comes over early every day to accompany her cousin to be happy, and she speaks softly, with a Jiangnan woman's grace, and there is a kind of gentleness and delicacy that you don't let go.
The most important thing is that Sister Chan knows how to be grateful, and she also respects Yutan in her heart, and the old lady tastes it privately for a few days before she is satisfied, and she praises her for being blessed. The old lady told Qi again about her worries, and wanted Sister Chan and Yutan to marry together, and in a year or two, she opened her face, and her cousin became a concubine and a helper for Yutan, isn't it much better than a maid.
Qi's face changed at that time, and he refused to agree to anything, and said that he was thinking about the Fang family, the old lady was angry, and the old man was thoughtful about his granddaughter, and at this time he was inevitably sad, and he felt that he had lost face in front of the younger generation, so he asked Hou Ye to explain, "I was originally thinking about Yutan, I thought that it was my cousin, and I could also be a helper for Yutan, right?" What did your daughter-in-law say? β
Li Ming only had a headache, and he didn't want to make his old mother angry for such a thing, so he was vague and refused to say clearly, only pretending to be drunk.
The old lady talked to Yutan, and the stakes were all clear to her, and Yutan sneered and readily agreed.
