The Ren family and the Han family are now like Lang is affectionate, and the concubine is intentional. The two parties have reached a tacit understanding on the marriage, and if nothing else, they will soon exchange tokens with each other to finalize the marriage.

And the first to jump out of breath was Ren Yaoting in Dongfu.

On the second day of the Han family's visit, the old lady of Dongfu, Liao, came over.

The Liao family came quite early, and at that time, the juniors of the various rooms in the West Mansion happened to invite the old lady Ren and the old lady Ren of Ronghua Courtyard to leave, and the concierge came to report that the Liao family had brought Miss Seven over.

The Ren family is not separated, and the east and west mansions of the Ren family are actually considered to be one house. Although there is a long flower wall between the east and west houses, there is a hole in the wall. But Liao's family never came to Xifu from the middle of the flower wall, she preferred to go to the main gate seriously, and sent the porter to report.

The Liao family and the Qiu family did not agree when they were young, and the two went back and forth for countless rounds. When Bao Ming, the previous director of the Ren family, was still alive, because his old man paid the most attention to the order of the elders and the young, no matter how the two of them fought, as long as they went to the elders, it was Liao's fault, and the Liao family was very dissatisfied with his father-in-law.

At the time of Ren Baoming's death, there was a testament, and the big house and the second room were not separated. Liao's bedside promised to be good, and when his father-in-law's first seven days passed, he found an excuse to quarrel with Qiu's family. Then he moved with his son to the West Garden, which was separated by a flower wall. Although she didn't say anything about separating the family, the two houses have been separated for so many years, except for the big house, which allocates a sum of money to Dongfu every month to maintain the lives of everyone in Dongfu.

And the Liao family also insisted that people from the East Mansion must go through the gate when they come to the West Mansion, and they are not allowed to pass through the flower wall between the two Mansions. The second old lady of the Ren family is not in Yanbei all the year round, and the letter said that she had been fruitless several times.

The old man Ren here in Xifu could only make such a fuss when he saw her, so he let her go. Anyway, this house is big, and it was originally divided into the east and west mansions, so there is no need to change the yard again. On the contrary, the Liao family and the Qiu family separated, and the Ren family was much cleaner.

When the younger generations of the Ren family saw that the Liao family was coming, they all saluted her. Qiu Shi had a polite smile on his face: "Why do you have time to come over today?" ”

Although Liao is from Yanbei, he is not tall. The person is still a little fat, and he looks a little rich, listening to Qiu's words, Liao's face also squeezed out some smiles, and then greeted Old Man Ren first and called uncle.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? The eldest daughter-in-law, add two more sets of chopsticks to come. Qiu explained to his daughter-in-law. Seeing that the Liao family refused, he said to Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin, "You will each have your own courtyard to eat." ”

Liao's eyes swept over Ren Yaohua, nodded and said, "I came today to discuss something with my brother and sister-in-law, so it's better for them to leave first." Ting'er, you also go out first. ”

Ren Yaoting had been quietly following behind Liao. When Ren Yaohua passed by her, she looked over, and the coldness in her eyes made people palpitate. Hearing Liao's words, she answered yes in a low voice, and walked out behind everyone.

"Third sister. I have something to say to you. Ren Yaoting stopped Ren Yaohua.

Ren Yaohua had felt Ren Yaoting's hostility before, and she vaguely understood in her heart what it was for. However, she herself is not a good-natured person, so she felt irritated when she heard Ren Yaoting's words, and replied coldly: "I want to go back to eat first, and I will talk about anything when I am free." ”

After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Ren Yaoting stared at her back tightly, and her lower lip was a little white from being bitten by herself.

As soon as the idlers left, Liao sat down and spoke: "I remember that the uncle once accused me in a righteous and stern way that the Ren family is not separated? ”

"Brother and sister, what do you mean?" Old Man Ren frowned and said in surprise, a little unclear how the Liao family would bring up the old matter again.

Liao sneered slightly: "Since there is no separation." Why is it that the Han family and the Ren family want to get married, and we don't know about such a big thing? I heard that the Ren family is going to partner with the Han family to set up a salt farm? Oh, could it be that when there is a good thing, it's just your Xifu's business? ”

Old Man Ren shook his head helplessly when he heard this: "I have written to inform the second brother about the salt farm, and he also agrees." Since the big house and the second room are not separated, no matter how the Ren family benefits, it is the common benefit of the two rooms. The younger sibling's words are really a bit unreasonable. As for the marriage of the Ren and Han families, it is just that the two families have their own plans, and they have not yet been finalized. ”

Liao Shi was a little unhappy when he heard this: "Am I unreasonable? Well, in that case, we also have school-age girls in Dongfu. Since you insist on the East and West families, it doesn't make a difference whether you marry from the East or the West, so let's marry the girls from the East House. ”

Saying that, Liao glanced at Qiu: "Back then, your eldest sister had a good relationship with the Gu family, and then the second sister also married into the Yan family in the capital. The eldest grandson of our Dongfu married such a broken family, and the girl was still hard-lived. If it weren't for the successive accidents at home before she even came to the door, I would still be kept in the dark. I don't need you to explain anything to me about this matter, but the Han family, a pro-Xifu, must let us. ”

The Qiu family endured it for a long time, and when he heard this, he was really angry and had a little pain in his liver, and couldn't help but say: "When I married the Gu family back then, was there a girl of the right age in Xifu?" Could it be that the second young master of the Gu family should wait for seven or eight years before getting married? As for the Yan family's relatives, didn't the second brother bring the letter back and beg me to give Yaoqin to someone to fill the house? In the past few years, the second brother and Shi Xuan have had a smooth life in the capital, is there no help from the Yan family? And we also asked for the opinions of the second brother and you before the family affairs of Yilin were decided, why didn't you stand up against it at that time? Before the Liu family had an accident, who would have expected that the girl of the Liu family would be such a fateful character? Brother and sister, you must have a degree when you say wrongful things. ”

Liao pursed her lips when she heard this, she was unwilling to be refuted by Qiu's speechless, but she couldn't think of anything to refute for the time being.

Old Man Ren was clear about the temperament of these two people, and knew that he couldn't let them quarrel anymore, otherwise it would be endless, so he stood up and played a round: "Okay, let's say a word less." ”

He said with a straight face: "The family affairs between the Han family and the Ren family were mentioned by the Han family first, and the old man Han and the wife of the Han family were Yaohua from the beginning. And only Yaohua and Yaoyin are the most suitable age for the young master of the Han family. As for Yaoting's family affairs, I will keep it in mind, and I will not wronged her when the time comes. They are all girls from the Ren family, and I will not favor one over the other. ”

The Liao family will come over today because last night I heard a few mothers-in-law in the courtyard of their granddaughter talking about the marriage of several young masters and young ladies in the east and west, and said that all the good family affairs were occupied by the Xifu, so it can be seen that in the future, the Xifu may not even have soup to drink when the Dongfu eats meat. He also said how rich Han is, how good the young master of the Han family is, obviously there are suitable girls in the East Mansion, but the West Mansion is about to marry without even asking.

Liao couldn't sleep after hearing this.

She is not a very shrewd person, but she has been on the same page with the Qiu family in her life. It's easy to say anything else, but I can't see that the Qiu family is more proud than her, and I can't bear that the Qiu family takes advantage of her more.

Therefore, after the death of the previous head of the Ren family, she also knew that the backyard of the Ren family was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiu family, so she did everything possible to draw a clear line with the people in the big house, but she didn't want to live by looking at Qiu's face.

Listening to Old Man Ren's words, Liao sneered: "Who can know what will happen in the future?" I'm not that foolish. ”

Seeing that she didn't eat oil and salt, Old Man Ren could only say good-naturedly: "What do you want that brother and sister to do?" The family affairs of the Han family can't be our own talk, the preferred candidate of the Han family is indeed the third girl. ”

When the Liao family heard this, he looked at the Qiu family who turned his head away, thought about it, but his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "I don't have to marry the Han family. I know that there is a young master in our Ren family in the Yun family, and the Yun family may not have the intention of marrying our Ren family, and the old lady and sister-in-law of the Yun family are cousins...... If it is true that you have no selfish intentions as the uncle said, then why don't you think of a way to promote the relationship between our Dongfu and the Yun family? ”

Qiu Shi couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, this abacus was very good. She was about to speak, but the old man Ren came over, and Qiu Shi gritted his teeth before turning his head over as if he hadn't heard.

Old Man Ren said gently to Liao: "I will consider this matter carefully when my brother and sister say it." If the Yun family really has this intention at that time, it will be the same whether the girl from the East Mansion will marry or the girl from the West Mansion will marry. ”

Liao looked at Qiu, who was obviously angry, and said with a smile: "Is this true? ”

Old Man Ren's face turned pale: "Have I spoken in the vernacular?" ”

Liao smiled: "Naturally, there is none. It's better for the uncle to give me a word today, if the Han family's relatives can't give us Xifu, then if the Ren family wants to discuss marriage with the Yun family in the future, we can only marry the girl from Xifu, how about it? ”

"You're not vexatious?" Qiu's airway.

Old Man Ren waved his hand: "This matter is so decided." ”

Qiu Shi was so angry that his heart was so angry that he almost turned his back on it.

Liao Shi smiled, stopped messing around, and got up briskly: "In this case, I won't disturb your meal." ”

After Liao left, Qiu, who was still trembling with anger, calmed down the anger on his face and immediately became calm and relaxed.

Old Man Ren glanced at her with some surprise.

Qiu Shi casually instructed the maids to change the food to the heat, and said: "I don't know her character best, don't you just can't see me proud?" If I don't make her angry, she won't leave. ”

Qiu's heart was a little disdainful, Liao's kind of mind couldn't even control his daughter-in-law, and he only deserved to be used as a gun. She never took Liao's to heart at all.

As for the Yun family's family affairs, there is no one yet, even if there is this one in the future, she has not agreed to what Old Man Ren promised.
