Chapter Seventy-Two: The Inner Ghost
Cao Ze said this very tactfully, but the meaning was very plain.
This mother-in-law is not happy, if the daughter-in-law can be better, it will be strange!
Even if your family supports Cui Wanqing, who can guarantee it, there is no wrong effort?
Besides, this marriage is a lifelong thing, and everyone may be excited at the beginning, but after a long time, it is inevitable to relax.
When the time comes, Mrs. Cao San will seize the opportunity, who will be unlucky? It's just self-evident.
Cao Mu couldn't deny that what his eldest brother said was wrong, he honestly explained: "Big brother, what you said, younger brother, I admit that all of them are very reasonable, the one in my family who doesn't make people worry, and wants to climb high branches." ”
"She is single-minded, and she has fallen in love with the fifth lady of Marquis Hongyao's mansion, and Mrs. Marquis Hongyao is also very satisfied with our family Xiu'er, but I have never let go, so this family matter has not been decided."
When Cao Mu said this, his tone was quite disappointed, probably because he was a little dissatisfied with Mrs. Cao's actions.
But then he changed his words, looked up at Cao Zeyan and said, "But, eldest brother, you also know that I would marry her at the beginning, isn't it that the third sister always says good things for her?" If it weren't for the third sister helping her everywhere, how could she marry into our family? ”
"You know, she was a fifth-grade petty official at the beginning, but now she is a fourth-grade official. If it weren't for Yun Sleeve, would their family have been able to live so well? Can she live so well? ”
"I really can't understand, she obviously cares for Qing Yatou, but why is she unwilling to marry her daughter-in-law?"
"Is it so important to climb high branches? If everyone had this kind of thought, she would have died of exhaustion back then, and she would not want to marry into our family as Mrs. Caosan! ”
Listening to Cao Mu whining and spitting bitterness, Ming Anhou also felt helpless.
In fact, to be honest, Cao Xiu and Cui Wanqing are the best match for the children, and their identity, age, and even personality and habits are very compatible.
Cao Yun is not only four or five years older than Cui Wanqing, but also has to inherit the title in the future, this is really hard to be Mrs. Hou, and she has to bear it inside and out, where is there the freedom to be an idle grandmother Cao Sanshao?
Since the early death of their sister, the Ming'anhou brothers have felt in their hearts that only by letting Cui Wanqing marry back to the Ming'anhou Mansion and letting their nephew's daughter marry and live under their noses will the brothers feel that they have not failed their sister.
For Ming Anhou, it can be regarded as a remedy for the mistakes made five years ago.
So since I knew from Cao Ze that Mrs. Cao San was unwilling, and she was already looking at his wife for Cao Xiuxiang, this woman's family background and character were quite good.
In order to prevent the family from making trouble and restless for this matter, Ming Anhou had the idea of letting Cao Yun marry Cui Wanqing.
I thought that if it wasn't for my wife, I misbelieved slander, was afraid of the powerful, and was afraid of bringing the disaster to my family, so I was willing to be used by others, instigating Mrs. Cao Laohou, and completely cut off contact with Cui's house.
How could his niece almost give up her life? asked her son to marry a girl, but she had no position against it.
Who made her take the wrong step at that time? This will be the last time you can say hard words.
Cao Mu was depressed for a while, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Hey, no, eldest brother, the one in our family is unwilling, is the sister-in-law willing?" ”
"Yun'er is the future Marquis of Ming'an, with his identity, it is not a problem to marry a well-connected Miss Houfu, if the luck is better, it is not impossible to marry a county lord, the county lord."
"If Yun'er marries her nephew's daughter, it is really a veritable low marriage, sister-in-law's heart is not lower than your brother and sister, how could she agree?!"
Ming Anhou smiled meaningfully at his younger brother.
With this 'you know' look, Cao Mu couldn't help but tremble, "Big brother, this is in my own house, there are only you and my brothers in front of you, do you want to be so treacherous?" "My heart is secretly slanderous.
But the meaning of his eldest brother, Cao Mu also understood, his own two brothers, and other families have to be high and low in everything, which is very different.
The father of the family went early, the eldest brother is the father, Ming Anhou really has nothing to say to Cao Mu, it is like taking a son, and he grows up with his younger brother.
And Ming Anhou is not a pedantic character, so he has to force his younger brother to strive for the upper reaches and take the imperial examination.
Cao Ze's nature is that he is naturally very good to his relatives.
How to say it, it is absolutely not to set any high goals for younger siblings, as long as the younger siblings are happy, they will be happy.
This is the reason why Cao Yunxiu married to the Cui family at the beginning, and Cao Mu has only received a fourth-grade Dusi in the forbidden army until now, and he has been playing around all day long, which is the same.
In order to satisfy the Ming'an Hou Mansion, the old lady of the Cui family even divided the Cui family into east and west mansions, which made it clear that Cao Yunxiu wanted to be the master of the house and live a comfortable life.
It's a pity that her sister's life is blessed, and she actually fell into a ghost gate during childbirth, leaving her living relatives to be sad for her.
So now, for the sake of Cui Wanqing's happiness and tranquility in the future, it is reasonable to let Cao Yun marry low.
With such a good big brother, Cao Mu has always gotten along very well with his brother, and even, sometimes he is willful and loses his temper or something.
In fact, he also knows his eldest brother's temper thoroughly, and knows that this person will not really be annoyed with him.
Thinking of what Ming Anhou did for his family, he couldn't be Lao Tzu's sacrifice for the family, and it was his son's turn, so he would continue to be on top, right?
Cao Ze couldn't help gritting his teeth, and said resolutely: "Big brother, your mind is the leader of your younger brother, but Yun'er is too important to our family, and this child is an ambitious person, no better than Xiu'er, who only cares about reciting poems and writing and painting every day." ”
"Actually, you and I have to admit that if Yun'er can marry in the future, it will be the best for our Ming'an Hou Mansion, eldest brother, your temperament is not willing to use the marriage of your relatives as a bargaining chip, but if our family wants to go long and does not follow the example of other families, how can it be?"
"Brother, I'm not competing with you for a niece, it's really Xiu'er who is more suitable for a Qing girl than Yun'er in any aspect, this is Mrs. Hou, or a comfortable third lady, eldest brother, you say, that one is better for her?"
Over there, Ming Anhou was about to say something, but he saw Cao Ze wave his hand to stop him, and still insisted on saying: "I know, what do you want to say about the way of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law getting along, but haven't you heard of it, big brother?" There is a policy above, and there is a countermeasure below? ”
"Your brother and I haven't been fooling around all these years, do you remember that five years ago, our family and the Cui family fell apart, and my brother and I bought a courtyard with five entrances in Dongsanli?"
"You all thought I was throwing a temper and deliberately throwing money for fun, but my brother and I had already decided at that time to use that courtyard as the newlywed place for Xiu'er and Qing Yatou."
"I don't believe it, when the two children get married and move out to live, she can still run from the east of the city to the west of the city every day, tossing for an hour, just to find the unrest of her daughter-in-law?"
Cao Mu said that he was very proud, and Ming Anhou, who was looking at it, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "Although you have a good heart, but your mother will not agree to let them live in another place after leaving the house, forget it, it is too early to say these things now, we must let them get along with each other more and get along." ”
"I haven't seen any signs yet, but our brothers are fighting here and there, it's ridiculous!"
"Big brother, I still say the same thing, whether you marry Yun'er or Xiu'er, you have to be happy and willing to do it yourself, you and I just wait quietly for the time being."
Speaking of this, Ming Anhou thought of what he had just heard from someone, and couldn't help laughing: "You think your son is stupid? Don't you know, this stinky boy, painting Qing'er by the lake today, that show strength, really worthy of your species! ”
"What? Is this really the case? Big brother, don't scold me, that kid has always aimed at you, and his words and deeds have been learned from you, I sometimes feel that Yun'er is my son, and Xiu'er is your son at all. ”
"I'm only twelve and a half years old, I want to look old, I want to laugh when I look at it, why did I open my mind today? Do you know how to please girls? Big brother, tell me carefully and let me hear it. Cao Mu was so happy that he couldn't help but ask Ming Anhou.
The brothers were talking happily, and suddenly, Cao Mu jumped on the Luohan couch, stepped on the brocade mat and violently pushed open the back window, and jumped out.
Seeing this, Cao Ze knew that there was someone in the back window, and he was afraid that the secret guards in the house were loose, and his younger brother was short-tempered, but his heart was good.
This time, I have to take the opportunity to remind my younger brother that he can be ruthless and tighten the secret guard at home.
Originally, he lifted the corners of his robe, and also wanted to get on the Luohan couch and take the nearest route, but thinking of this big movement, the guards were afraid that they were alarmed a lot.
If you follow Cao Mu's example, if you don't take the road and jump out of the back window, you can't guarantee that everyone in the capital will discuss in private tomorrow, "Do you know?" Ming Anhou is a hypocrite, he is personable and has good manners outside, but in his own home, he doesn't have a way to go, and he jumps out of the window! ”
Ming Anhou slowly put down the corners of his robe, suppressed his desire to indulge, pouted the corners of his mouth, walked out of the study door, and walked far away to the backyard.
When he arrived, he saw a group of people surrounding Cao Mu, and in the circle, he vaguely saw a person lying on the ground.
I heard Cao Mu shouting and asking, "Say, what are you doing sneakily under the back window?" Who told you to eavesdrop? Who is the master behind you? ”
A column of guards beside him was also gearing up, cheering for the master, "Hurry up, don't be honest, be careful that the third master will sell you to the kiln!" ”R1152
