Chapter 233: Old Accounts (7)
Mrs. Li was so cold by the old ancestor's glance that she felt a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, but she didn't dare to smile: "Old ancestor, who can be disgusted with too much money." When it comes to taking care of the backyard, Miss Wang is also a good hand. ”
"Taking care of the backyard?" The old ancestor's face was clouded, and Mama Gui was afraid that if she continued to say this, the old ancestor was about to lose her temper again, so she quickly interrupted Mrs. Li's words, "Mother Li, which backyard does Miss Wang's life take care of?" ”
Mrs. Li's smile stiffened, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak for a while, and she was speechless for a while, and then she took a handkerchief to print the beads of sweat on her forehead, and said, "Hey! Originally, this kind of thing was not something I should have said, and that kind of thing happened just after exchanging Geng posts, and it is difficult to say that it is Miss Wang's sin. Eight characters, after all, it is necessary to be united, and this person is matched, and other people may be matched, perhaps, it is not Miss Wang's life, but it is just that it is not compatible with the Zhen family. I also know that it is extremely difficult for Miss Wang to be married to such a crime, and it is not uncommon for her to be ruined if she can't marry for the rest of her life. This kind of thing, after all, is a woman who suffers, and there is nowhere to reason. ”
These words, Zhen Xuan listened to a little bit of truth.
She thought of Zhen Lin.
Zhen Lin was divorced before getting on the sedan chair, and most of the rumors said that she was immoral, and the sisters knew that this matter had nothing to do with Zhen Lin, but they couldn't stop the world's mouth. If it weren't for the holy decree, Zhen Lin would have spent the rest of his life with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.
And that Miss Wang, it's hard to say whether it's really that hard, but as long as something happens once, you can't get rid of that charge.
For other families who want to marry daughters-in-law, it is not that there are no other candidates, who is willing to try to be united.
Mrs. Li continued: "Those assets of the Wang family. The ancestors did not put it in their eyes. You can look at our Yongzhou. How many families are willing to pay all their property to marry their daughters? The Wang family is a desperate family, and everything is given to the daughter. The second old lady in the house said before that the third master is not as good as the two brothers, and marrying a daughter-in-law with a thicker foundation will make her life more comfortable in the future. ”
The old ancestor listened to Mrs. Li's words before, his face had eased a little, and as a woman, he also felt that Miss Wang was pitiful. When I heard Mrs. He say something like that again, I couldn't help but get angry, and I took a deep breath before suppressing it.
It's obviously that the idea is like that, and he looks like he's thinking about the child, it's really too fake to listen to.
What made the ancestor angry the most was that the meaning of those words was that the younger brother suffered a loss in this family, and the Xia family was obviously rich, but they wanted him to live on his daughter-in-law's dowry.
Seeing that they were worried about Xia Suqing's future, they were actually saying that they couldn't share the ancestral property in the second room. All the benefits are in the hands of Changfang, and you can't get a piece of the pie.
If Mrs. He is here at this time. The ancestors must have a few crutches to drive her to kneel outside the ancestral hall, these are the rules set by the ancestors for hundreds of years, if you are not satisfied, go and tell the ancestors!
When these words came out, what did others think.
ruined the reputation of the Xia family.
Mrs. Li saw the displeasure of her ancestors, closed her mouth and didn't say more, and said secretly in her heart: Rich people are like this, they obviously like daughters-in-law with family backgrounds, but they can't be told to tell them through.
The old ancestor pressed the anger in his heart and asked, "If you want Miss Wang to be your daughter-in-law, are you willing?" ”
Mrs. Li didn't expect the ancestor to ask like this, so she laughed dryly: "My kid has already been married." ”
Isn't that unwilling?
The old ancestor whispered a few words to Mama Gui, Mama Gui couldn't help nodding, and when she finished speaking, Mama Gui straightened up and said to Mrs. Li: "Mother Li, these two, one is our eldest wife, and the other is the second grandmother." ”
Although Zhen Xuan didn't understand why she suddenly introduced them to Mrs. Li, since the old ancestor asked them to sit here and listen, he naturally had the ancestor's plan.
Mrs. Li was also puzzled, as soon as she entered the house, she saw Zheng and Zhen Xuan, just looking at the age of dress, she could only guess the generation, but she didn't know which house Lu Dao belonged to, she was bent on dealing with the ancestors, so she didn't think much about it, and when she heard Mama Gui's introduction, she hurriedly saluted again.
When facing Zhen Xuan, Mrs. Li took a few more looks.
It was because of Zhen Xuan that Mrs. He moved her mind to marry a rich granddaughter-in-law.
"The second grandmother was really lively when she entered the door, and I also saw it on the street, and the queue to send off relatives couldn't see the end." After all, the red envelope given by the Wang family is not a decimal number, and there is another reward after the fact, as long as there is a chance she doesn't want to give up, Li Matchmaker pondered, Miss Wang's biggest advantage is the rich dowry, if you can't impress the Xia family, this family business will be no fun, the ancestor is already unwilling, so he simply died as a live horse doctor, and then fought for it, Li Matchmaker flattered and said, "Ancestor, you didn't see it, when the dowry was given, the neighbors came out to see, The number was lifted and raised, and when it was counted, everyone didn't remember the number. The second grandmother is so beautiful, and the daughter-in-law of the future generations can't be bad, isn't it? The Wang family's marriage to a daughter must also be beautiful. ”
What does this mean?
Although the Xia family is a merchant family, marrying a daughter-in-law is naturally marrying virtuous, not a philistine to marry silver, besides, the Xia family needs to marry silver?
After listening to Mrs. He's so-called conditions, she thought that the Xia family was blindly seeking scenery.
The old ancestor laughed angrily, slapped the table and said, "Scenery? My Xia family has never seen the scenery? I have married the daughter of the elder of the pavilion, I have married the daughter of Tanhualang, and the holy decree of the marriage is still in the ancestral hall, and my wife has lived for almost eighty years, and I have never seen anything! Miss Wang's dowry is rich? Can it be compared to the jade Ruyi given by my great-granddaughter-in-law? Miss Wang has the style of an official lady? Which of the daughters-in-law in my Xia family's room is not from an official family? If the Xia family asks for scenery, it is not enough for the Wang family to go bankrupt! Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous wife, marrying a wife and marrying a room of tranquility, Miss Wang's eight characters and the 'tranquility' are afraid that they are not close to each other. Mother Li, please go back. ”
Mrs. Li asked the ancestor to say something red-faced, she was confused, the Xia family was different from the families she had said she had kissed before, and ordinary people were unwilling to marry Miss Wang, let alone the Xia family.
Looking at the Zheng family and Zhen Xuan who were sitting on the side, they didn't say a word, they naturally had a sense of nobility, and the words that praised Miss Wang before were really laughable and generous in the ears of these women from Miss Guan.
Mrs. Li couldn't help but hate Mrs. He in her heart, if she hadn't let out the news to find such a family, how could she pull this line and make the old ancestor lose face?
Mrs. Li had no shame to stay here any longer, and forced herself to complete the courtesy and leave the house.
Only then did Zhen Xuan understand that the ancestor asked her to sit here with the Zheng family, just to let the matchmaker understand that the Xia family had not seen the world, and how could they marry Miss Wang for the sake of a dowry.
Mrs. Li's words slapped her own face.
Mrs. Li left angrily, and Xiang Xi quickly followed her and pulled her aside.
"Mommy walks slowly." Xiang Xi stuffed a big envelope into Mrs. Li's hand, and said with a smile, "Mom, don't mind, the ancestor is angry." ”
As soon as Mrs. Li started her hand, she touched the heavy envelope, and her face was no longer gloomy, so she squeezed out a smile and said, "Girl, I know." ”
"When I heard about Miss Wang a few years ago, my ancestor still talked about it, and it was pitiful. As my mother said, it is not necessarily Miss Wang's fault. It's just that the ancestor is worried about the third master, so he is a little more anxious. ”
Mrs. Li let out a long sigh: "I understand...... There is no shortage of money at home, so why take that risk. It's just the Wang family, hey...... It's also unfortunate that there is no incense, but the only daughter is still ...... I went to Wang's house a few times, and Mr. Wang's hair turned gray. ”
"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, whose family is not the same. Our third master is going to talk about family affairs, the ancestors have to check the gates, if the mother has a good relative, come and talk to our ancestors. Xiang Xi persuaded a few more words and sent Mrs. Li out of the Eternal Residence, "Miss Wang's family, my mother should not have mentioned it to the ancestors, don't worry about it." ”
Mrs. Li tucked the big seal into her cuffs and nodded.
Xiang Xi returned to the main house, and when she saw Mama Gui sweeping towards her, she gestured with her eyes, and Mama Gui raised the corners of her lips slightly.
Mama Gui and Xiang Xi are both old people around the ancestors, and they know best what the ancestors value.
The old ancestor lost his temper and drove Mrs. Li out of the country, firstly because the family affairs were unreliable, and secondly, to warn Mrs. He. When the old ancestor is angry, he will wonder if Mrs. Li will remember the grudge, if she talks nonsense outside, and the three of them become tigers, it will be detrimental to the reputation of the Xia family.
The Xia family wants to do business in Yongzhou City, and businessmen can't help but talk about their reputation. Stuff a big envelope and tell Mrs. Li to shut up, and the ancestors will be satisfied afterwards.
Xiang Yi poured the tea, the ancestor took the teacup and took a sip, and said slowly: "I have to live for two more years and arrange the affairs of a few children, otherwise she may be asked to make a lot of miasma in Pingcui Garden." ”
Zheng couldn't say bluntly that Mrs. He was not, but said: "The health of the ancestors is a blessing for us to be the younger generation." Jing Qing and Hu Qing also want their ancestors to look at each other. ”
Xia Huqing came out of the blue yarn cupboard, and when she heard this, she blushed and stood still.
The old ancestor beckoned Xia Huqing over, pulled her to sit down beside her, took a closer look, nodded and said: "It's fourteen in a blink of an eye, and it will be in time next year, and the old woman has a long way to go!" The old ancestor looked at Zhen Xuan again, and said to the Zheng family, "Your mother-in-law's vision is good, Yiqing, the daughter-in-law, I like it." ”
The old ancestor was also reluctant to mention the matter of Mrs. He, and said: "Tomorrow afternoon, I invited Master Kongchen into the mansion, and Yiqing's daughter-in-law came early to listen to me for a while." ”
Zhen Xuan agreed.
The old ancestor was tired, so the Zheng family took Zhen Xuan and Xia Huqing out of the eternal residence, and no longer disturbed the old ancestor to rest. (To be continued......)
