Chapter 680: Scam

Xie Yinghui had already learned from Lu Feiyun's letter that there was something wrong with Ma Yurong's family affairs, but later Ma Yurong wrote that the marriage was in vain, and their family had left Shuzhong and returned to the capital, so she didn't have to pay attention to it. She also saw that Lu Feiyun was vague in the letter, and there seemed to be something taboo, so she didn't ask any more.

It wasn't until today that she learned from Lu Feiyun that Ma Yurong's marriage was actually a scam!

Since the second son of Ma was successful on a blind date and remarried a lady from an official family, the husband and wife are still in love. Ma Yurong's new second sister-in-law, and the former second sister-in-law Xiaobai is a completely different character, except for a little soft and glutinous, there are almost no shortcomings, both talent and appearance, virtuous and virtuous, not only can sing poetry with Ma Ergongzi, calligraphy and painting in the boudoir for fun, but also take care of his life meticulously, filial piety to his in-laws, care for his little brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and respect his eldest brother and sister-in-law. Ma Ergongzi immediately left his dead cheating ex-wife behind, and only stayed with his new wife, and even the concubine who was originally admitted to the room was left out in the cold.

The eldest princess of Yongning and the concubine took their little husband and wife, together with their youngest daughter Ma Yurong, to take the opportunity of returning to their hometown to worship their ancestors, and went up the Yangtze River to Shuzhong to play, on the one hand, in order to avoid the disturbances in Beijing and take a good break, on the other hand, it was also because the new grandmother Ma Er's maiden mother introduced a good family affair to Ma Yurong.

Ma's second grandmother actually lost her biological mother when she was young, and now this mother is married by her father, but she has been growing up with her grandparents and carefully raised by her grandmother, and her stepmother has not treated her very harshly, and the younger siblings she gave birth to are also quite kind to her, so the family can be regarded as happy. When the stepmother attended the wedding, she saw Ma Yurong and liked it very much, so she had the heart to introduce her nephew to the eldest princess of Yongning to promote the marriage of the two children.

According to her, her mother's family is a famous family in Shuzhong, her grandfather was the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, a feudal official, and her father is also a political envoy in Sichuan, and the lintel is not low at all. Although her maiden brother is only a prefect at the moment, he is in the prime of life, and it is inevitable that he will rise again in the future. The nephew is the eldest grandson of the family, he has been studying since he was a child, he is already a talent at a young age, and he plans to participate in the next township examination, and his poems are also well-known in the Shu Chinese circle.

He himself was handsome, talented, gentle and elegant, and always clean and self-conscious. Because his family has high expectations for him, they are unwilling to let him marry too early, for fear that distraction will not be conducive to the imperial examination, so he has not yet given him a kiss, and he is not allowed to take a concubine. Such a promising young talent is simply a leader among the children of the official eunuchs in Shu. The family was worried that after the high school entrance examination in other towns, they would have to enter Beijing to prepare for the exam, and no one around them would take care of them, so they planned to say goodbye to him after the township examination. In order to find help in the capital, it is best to hire a famous lady in the capital......

Listening to the various descriptions of this in-law wife, her maiden nephew is simply so good in the sky, but there is nothing in the ground. Although the eldest princess of Yongning and Ma Juma were skeptical, they were very satisfied with their new daughter-in-law and got along well with their new in-laws. Considering the situation in Beijing, if the in-laws' wife and nephew are really worthy of their daughter, it is not impossible to consider saying that their daughter will go to the family in Shuzhong. If you are far away from the capital, it is unlikely that you will be affected by the turmoil in Beijing. If they want their daughters and sons-in-law, it's a big deal to think of sending their son-in-law to Beijing as an official.

With such a thought, the eldest princess of Yongning and Ma Juma took the opportunity of traveling to Shu to take a look at the young talent in the mouth of the in-laws. At first glance, it is really outstanding, the family background is real, and the fame is real, but he has not yet participated in the township examination. In addition, several poems he wrote are really good, and they can get into the eyes of Ma and Ma Ergongzi's father and son. The eldest princess of Yongning looked at his family situation again, it seems that the elders are very kind and reasonable, and this family matter can be considered.

The eldest princess also inquired about the new daughter-in-law, Ma Er's grandmother didn't know much about this cheap cousin, she had been growing up with her grandparents, and even her father and stepmother were not very close, let alone her stepmother's maiden relatives? However, she did hear her half-siblings mention this person, who is known as a talented person in Shu, and is a well-known handsome and talented son among relatives and friends. But beyond that, she couldn't say anything.

Ma Juma had met the young man a few times, and after testing his poetic talent, he approved the son-in-law candidate and signaled that the eldest princess could consider saying goodbye. Of course, it won't be so fast to really marry a daughter, but if the marriage is decided, they can start preparing a dowry for their daughter, and they can also avoid some troubles in the capital on the grounds of being busy.

It's just that Ma Yurong secretly saw the young man twice, and she always felt a little dislike and refused to nod. She is a delicate girl who is held in the palm of her hands by her parents and brothers, and if she doesn't agree, it will be impossible for the eldest princess of Yongning and Ma Juma to really make a marriage contract for her.

I don't know if the in-law wife said something to her mother's family, and the young man began to play the drama of "chance encounter" with Ma Yurong, and he pursued all kinds of courtesy. If you change to another little girl, you may be fascinated when you see such a beautiful man actively pursuing herself. However, Ma Yurong's temperament is different, she thinks the other party is too greasy, and her intention to climb the eldest princess's mansion is too obvious, and she dislikes it even more. She only "bumped into" each other twice, and then sued her mother, Princess Yongning, and resolutely refused to marry such a man.

The eldest princess of Yongning still felt that her daughter was making a fuss at that time, and Ma Juma had also been courteous to her before her wedding, isn't it normal? But her daughter decided that the other party's intentions were not right, so she had to send people to inquire about the other party's information inside and outside Chengdu Mansion. I didn't expect this inquiry, so I inquired about trouble.

The young man did have a good family background and a good reputation, but at the same time, he also had a bad reputation for writing poems as a "gunslinger". Sergeant Lin has always had a rumor in private, saying that at least half of his most famous poems can find the original author, all of them are talented poor scholars, after he copied the poems, if he is willing to settle things, he can receive a few taels of hush money, if he is unwilling, he has to make a big deal, and the examples of broken hands and legs are not one or two. If the scholar is disabled, he has cut off the future of the imperial examination, so Shilinzhong's evaluation of that young man has always been poor, but because of his illustrious family background, he dare not speak out.

In addition, he is not a clean person, there are indeed no concubines in the family, but there are ten or eight of them, and he also has a relationship with more than two famous prostitutes in Qinglou, and he regards it as a beautiful conversation. There are also rumors that he has an outer room, and they are all women from good families, but he can't even get a name when he enters the door, and his family doesn't dare to say much.

However, in the upper circle of Chengdu, he is indeed the best son-in-law candidate in the eyes of various large families with daughters. As long as he can successfully pass the township test, other stigma or rumors are nothing in the eyes of these people. But his family did not accept any of the overtures, and they had their own ambitions for their son's marriage. The aunt's wife, who married someone and became a steproom, was able to fool the eldest princess's family, it was like a pie in the world!
