Zhao Xiu has been in Hangzhou for more than three months, she has played everywhere she can, and has painted hundreds of large and small paintings. Not to mention that the few new friends she met here were all good girls who were knowledgeable and like-minded, and the separation from her cousin Mi Province was enough for her to be sad and sad.

But the most important thing is that the Zhang family intends to propose to the Mi family and tell Mi Yingzhi to Zhao Wei, but it has not yet been decided! She always said that she was discussing with Mrs. Mi, but after discussing for a long time, she couldn't come to an accurate word. Seeing that his family was leaving, but the Zhang family and Mrs. Mi had not even exchanged a token, Zhao Xiu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

She said to Zhang's in private: "What is my grandmother's plan for my brother's marriage?" Didn't you say that you were discussing with your cousin? Can that be done? ”

Zhang couldn't help but laugh: "What are you doing in such a hurry?" Marriage events, how can it be child's play? Naturally, the decision can only be made after a clear discussion. ”

Zhao Xiu saw that she was unhurried, but became even more anxious: "How can I not be in a hurry?" You and your cousin have been discussing it for a few months, and you have not yet decided on a family affair. Now that we're leaving, aren't you afraid that after leaving, your cousin will take a fancy to someone else as a son-in-law and let your brother's cooked duck fly? She was so anxious that she stomped her feet, thought about it, and said to Zhang: "Grandmother, don't take it to heart." I have already asked my brother about this marriage, and he is very willing. Otherwise, when Cousin Mi celebrated her birthday before, he would not have sent someone to send such an exquisite birthday gift. If the grandmother thinks that the elder brother has good conditions and high status, and he will not worry about not marrying a daughter-in-law, and if he misses Cousin Mi, there is a better one, and the result is really a mess of the marriage, although the elder brother will not complain about the grandmother, he will definitely be sad in his heart. Good grandmother, don't make your brother sad, help him finish his mind as soon as possible! ”

Zhang was a little surprised. He said angrily: "The matter has not been decided yet, why did you tell your brother?" No wonder every time he sent a letter to his family a few days ago to ask for peace, he always had to greet the Mi family a few words. I only thought he was close to my uncle's family, but I didn't expect that there would be such a reason! You sued him so early. If things don't work out, won't it make him sad for nothing? ”

Zhao Xiu said disapprovingly: "My brother wants to marry a daughter-in-law, and they will stay together for a lifetime in the future, how can I not let my brother know who the candidate is?" If he likes it, the family affairs will naturally be half happy. If he doesn't like it. Even if you really say that he is a fairy, he will still not be happy for the rest of his life. So what's the point? I'm also thinking about my brother. My grandmother was afraid that things would not work out, and she would make him sad, but I didn't understand, why did things not work out? My brother likes my cousin, and my cousin and aunt seem to like my brother a lot. When I mentioned my brother in front of Cousin Mi, she always had only good words. It can be seen that their family likes their brother, so what reason is there to refuse to marry? ”

Mi Yingzhi does not have a marriage contract, and she is also a well-behaved girl on weekdays, and she will not have a personal affair with anyone. Although she and Zhao Wei are cousins. But he is already a fifth-generation collateral blood relative, and he doesn't need to worry about the problem of being too close to the offspring. In terms of the door, although the two are a little far apart, they are not so far as to be unacceptable. In addition, the two families are relatives, and there is nothing strange about getting married. Zhao Xiu felt that with the close relationship between Zhao Mi's two families, there should be no obstacles to the marriage between the two. Zhang and Mrs. Mi have been discussing this for several months, and the marriage has not yet been decided, which is really unreasonable.

Zhao Xiu asked again and again, and Zhang had to explain to her helplessly: "The Mi family has no intention of refusing. It's just that he hasn't decided yet, so he doesn't dare to make a promise. You also know that your cousin Mi is the only daughter in the family and has no brothers. If she is married to your brother. It must be a foreign marriage rather than a recruitment, and there are many things involved here, where can it be decided for a while? Why don't you ask the meaning of the family? ”

Mi Xingzhi wanted to ask the family whether this marriage was feasible, not because the family had a strong monitoring of the clansmen and asked each family to report everything, but because Mi Xingzhi had no heirs. In the future, most of them will have to pass on the incense to their step-nephews. The candidate for this heir has not yet been decided, and their husband and wife have already taken a fancy to one, but the Mi family attaches great importance to family affection, even if they know that the son who has passed out can inherit the rich family wealth of this house in Mi Province, his biological parents are still reluctant. The relationship between the brothers of the Mi family is very good, and the brothers and wives can't make up their minds to inherit their own flesh and blood, and of course Mi Shengzhi is not easy to urge, so they can only wait.

If the final result of waiting is that the succession is completed, and the husband and wife of Mi Province have an heir, no matter how generous the dowry will be given to their daughter, they will not give everything they have, and they will have to leave half of it to the heir. But if the succession thing fails, there is no male heir in Mi Province, although there are nephews and nephews behind him to sacrifice at four o'clock, and no one is worried about offering incense, but after all, it is not as good as flesh and blood. They may choose to give all their wealth to Mi Yingzhi as a dowry, or even directly let their daughter recruit money, or they may let their daughter marry, but they ask their son-in-law to promise that in the future, the second son born to their daughter will inherit the inheritance of their grandfather's family with their mother's surname Mi.

If the Mi family finally decides to let Mi Yingzhi recruit more, then she will definitely not be a good match for Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei built Nanhou in a dignified manner, how could he be a son-in-law for others? The Zhang family also refused to agree to give the second grandson to the Mi family as the heir, because the Zhao family's second house is thin, and every boy is precious, and she is absolutely reluctant to give any one to others.

Because of this kind of reason, although the husband and wife of Mi Province admired Zhao Wei very much and were very optimistic about this family business, they still did not dare to make a promise. They have to wait for their favored heirs to make a decision, and the best outcome is, of course, a successful adoption.

After listening to Zhang's explanation, Zhao Xiu only felt a mess in his mind. If that's the case, then she can't say anything, she can't really find a way to separate people's flesh and blood, right? She actually doesn't care if her future sister-in-law has a rich dowry, and she believes that her brother Zhao Wei won't care either. But in addition to the amount of dowry, the Mi family has many problems that have not been solved. It is also normal for cousins and husbands to dare not marry their daughters before they have heirs.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xiu found that there seemed to be no other way than to wait for the Mi family to make a decision, so he couldn't help but sigh: "It would be good if my cousin's aunt could have another child after her body recovered, and she would still be a boy." Cousin Mi has a brother, she doesn't have to recruit trouble, and her uncle and aunt don't have to endure the pain and be separated from the flesh and blood, isn't everyone happy? ”

Zhang smiled: "It sounds like everyone is happy, but where is it so easy?" Your aunt is in her thirties this year, and she has always been in poor health......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Xiu was curious: "How did my aunt's illness come about?" You have been soaking in the river for too long and suffering from the cold, so you have accumulated the root of the disease. My cousin and aunt have never suffered like this, so how could they suffer from the same disease as you, or even more severe than yours? ”

"How can I know about other people's affairs?" Zhang said that he didn't know, but in fact, he had already made a judgment in his heart. During the Chinese New Year, she was busy entertaining the female relatives of the official family who came to the door in Fengxian, and some of them were familiar with the Bian family, the wife of Tao County, and had privately said something about the Bian family's secrets, and she listened to it.

It is said that there is an old lady in the Bian family, who is the grandmother of Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Mi, and her mother's family is from a small military officer family in the north. So she always forced her children and grandchildren to go into the water to practice swimming in the winter and take cold showers all year round; If you have a minor illness, you will drink more water to get through, or you will be hungry for two days and lose the fire, unless you are seriously ill, you will ask the doctor to take medicine; Usually, three meals a day are big fish, big meat and white rice, and if you are not fat, it is not nutritious enough, so you are not allowed to serve it...... Her thoughts are not all unreasonable, but the children and grandchildren of the Bian family are all weak scholars, and they can't compare to her mother's brothers and nephews, who are old and coarse, how can they withstand this kind of rubbing? As soon as the men in charge of the family became ill with the two boys, she was deprived of her right to raise the boys, and she had to turn to the girls, with the result that her daughters and granddaughters were the most affected. Most people have the problem of cold palace, the body has not been good for many years, many people suffer from thirst, or fat and timid, many people can only have one or two children, and a few people don't even have a child.

This problem of the girls of the Bian family was only discovered seven or eight years ago. His family has some weight in Jiangsu, the family is big, and the children are competitive, so he has marriages with many scholarly families. These in-laws are not in one place, they are scattered all over the place, and they may not be familiar with each other. If it weren't for the fact that some good people connected the problem that they all had no children, I am afraid that no one would have discovered the secret of the Bian family. Now that the old lady has died, she can be affected, and her two youngest granddaughters, Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Mi's little cousin, are now twenty-three years old and the other nineteen, and no one has come to the door to say goodbye. Among the aunts and grandmothers who got married, several of them were complained by their in-laws because they only gave birth to daughters, or because they couldn't give birth to a single child. Mrs. Tao was not treated well by her mother-in-law, and even her daughter suffered a lot; Mrs. Mi was troubled by the lack of children, and she didn't even dare to set a marriage for her daughter, all because of this.

Zhang sighed again for Mrs. Mi in his heart, and said to his granddaughter: "It's okay, don't worry." Although the two families have never agreed on the marriage, they have long had a tacit understanding. Your cousin and aunt have it all in their hearts. Your cousin and aunt also said that they had mentioned this matter in their letter to their family. They just have to wait for a quasi-letter, if the family finally refuses to succeed, they want to refuse the marriage, how can they sue us first, and then go to find other candidates. Let's go to Jiading to listen to the letter, Jiading is not very far from Hangzhou, and it is very convenient to exchange letters. ”

Zhao Xiu frowned and thought for a long time before nodding reluctantly. She thought in her heart, she had become acquainted with Dr. Ye in the past two months, should she ask him to prescribe some useful recuperation prescriptions for Mrs. Mi to make her physical condition better? She is only in her thirties this year, and her cousin Mi Xingzhi is also in the prime of life, and she can have one or two more children, as long as there is a boy among them, the problem can be solved.

She finally took a fancy to a good candidate for a sister-in-law, it was rare for Zhao Wei to like it, Mi Yingzhi herself seemed to be happy, and the relationship between the two families was still very good. If she doesn't do anything, wouldn't it be a pity to sit back and watch a good marriage go to waste? (To be continued.) )
