Chapter 199: Unhappiness
Mrs. Pingnanbo, Cheng, led her sister-in-law Cao back to her house. Her younger sister Cheng Wang was already waiting.
The two sisters-in-law had just quarreled, and now they are facing each other, and they still feel embarrassed. Cheng Wang's took the initiative to stand up and act as an intermediary to make peace for the two, Cheng naturally would not object, Cao remembered that Cheng Wang's had always been good to him, and he nodded in agreement.
So Cheng Wang's first spoke, and asked Cao's on Cheng's behalf: "Mrs. Gu, our eldest sister was so angry yesterday because I heard that you are going to remarry General Fang Wenshan within your brother-in-law's filial piety, and General Fang is also suspected of concealing some very important news, so that your brother-in-law died in vain, is this all true?" “
Cao repeated what he had said to his daughter before, and said, "Brother Wenshan didn't know that things would develop to this point, let alone that my brother would be killed because of this. He was just here to be with me. Because he was afraid that his brother would be nostalgic for the rich Xie family and refuse to let go of his marriage and agree to marriage, he would hide something...... But what he concealed was not harmless to his brother, at most, the benefits he thought were gone. But the things that my brother got are still a lot. "For example, the property of the Xie family.
Cheng hated a lot in his heart, and tried to endure it so that he didn't show anything unusual.
The smile on Cheng Wang's face remained unchanged, and he turned his head to Cheng and said: "In this way, although General Fang is at fault, he does not mean to harm the eldest sister and brother-in-law, everything is because the palace lady and the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion are too affectionate. Among them, there are also Xie Pu who acted ruthlessly, and he would report it, and secretly sued the royal court for his fault. As for Re Xiaoli marrying, it is a false rumor. ”
Cheng reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "In this case, I misunderstood my sister, and I should really beat the subordinates who spread the words to death when I turn around!" ”
Cao said: "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be like this. It's good that the misunderstanding is open. Now that my brother has just died, my sister-in-law should be more lenient, and I should pray for my brother's virtue. ”
Cheng's expression was a little distorted, and he smiled after a while: "My sister is right." ”
"If only the misunderstanding was resolved." Cheng Wang smiled and took the hands of the two, "Now that your sister-in-law has reconciled, there are many things to talk about." ”
The first thing is that the Cao family wants to remarry Fang Wenshan.
Because Ping Nanbo had spoken before his death, promising Fang Wenshan that the marriage would not change, so Ping Nanbo's wife Cheng said that she could take a step back and acquiesce to Cao's marriage, but asked her to marry again after a year, and try not to hold a big wedding, it is best not to do it in the capital, let alone send invitations to relatives and friends, to be low-key.
Previously, the rumors of Cao and Fang Wenshan were in a uproar in Beijing, and once the marriage between the two was confirmed, the gossip would only become more ugly, and it would be even more difficult to hear about the reputation of Pingnanbofu. Since Fang Wenshan is going to be transferred, there is no need to set up a topic in Beijing.
Cao silently agreed. She was going to do that. It's just that she doesn't even send invitations to relatives and friends, but it seems that she is not marrying openly. She still had to discuss it with Fang Wenshan.
The second thing is the relationship between Xie Yinghui and Cao Wenheng.
Cheng sighed and said, "Yesterday, Wen Heng said the wrong thing in his anger and left Sister Hui angry. Later, when Wen Heng woke up, he regretted it so much that he didn't even care about his injuries, and he had to go out of the house to find someone. I was afraid that something would happen to him, so I stopped him alive or dead. He had a night with me, and when he saw Sister Hui coming back today, he forgot about yesterday's incident, and posted it again, making a small bow to compensate Sister Hui. Seeing my son like this, I feel really uncomfortable.
"No matter how uncomfortable it is, you can't ignore the children's wishes. Since Wen Heng has a heart for Sister Hui, I can't say anything against it, so that the child will hate me. This family affair was decided by the uncle before his death, so let's continue it. Although it is not easy to engage during the filial piety period now, you and my sister-in-law just know it in their hearts. After filial piety, we will pick a suitable auspicious day and do great things for the two children. ”
Cao Shi listened silently with tears: "It's all mothers, and my sister-in-law's words are exactly what I say." I just hope that Sister Hui will be safe and happy in her life. As long as my sister-in-law and Wen Heng can treat Sister Hui well and don't let her be wronged, of course I will not object to this family business. ”
She thought silently in her heart, as long as Fang Wenshan's career was smooth and her official position was stable, and she could support her mother and daughter, the Pingnan Bo Mansion, which had lost power, would have no reason to treat Xie Yinghui badly. Besides, there is also her mother, Duchess Chengen, who is sheltered by her old man, and her daughter Xie Yinghui is in Pingnanbo's Mansion, so she should be able to live a stable life for a few years. When her daughter and nephew Cao Wenheng got married and gave birth to an heir, they gained a firm foothold in Pingnanbo's Mansion. At that time, even if the mother Duchess Chengen is good, and she and Fang Wenshan are far away, her daughter will be safe and sound in Pingnanbo's Mansion.
The Cheng family and the Cao family had their own plans and reached an agreement on the marriage of their children.
The third thing is Cao Wenheng's future. This was brought up by Cheng, and Cao didn't expect it.
Cheng said: "Wen Heng's attack on the lord may not be smooth. Originally, I also hoped that General Fang could provide a little help in the forbidden army, and begged the queen mother and the eldest uncle to loosen their mouths, so that Wen Heng could successfully attack Fengping Nanbo. But now, General Fang has asked for a transfer, and my plan has come to naught. But how can Wen Heng say that he is also his sister's nephew, and now he is about to become his sister's son-in-law, can't his sister contribute to his son-in-law's future? If Wen Heng has a formal official position in the future, when he and Sister Hui get married, Sister Hui'er will look better on her face. ”
Cao didn't understand: "What can I do?" I don't know the people in the ministry, the queen's mother, eldest brother and second brother, and I don't necessarily treat me more affectionately than my sister-in-law. I can't do anything about it. ”
At this time, it was Cheng Wang's turn to speak: "This is not difficult for Mrs. Gu. The eldest sister has discussed with me, there are many powerful people in Beijing, and the Pingnanbo Mansion is pressed on the head of the palace Niangniang and the Chengenhou Mansion......
"For example, in the northern border city, if there is a war, let Wen Heng follow and make some small contributions...... The accumulation of small amounts slowly rises to six or seven grades, and it is almost the same. How many young people of the same age as Wen Heng in the capital can achieve six or seven grades? Such a young talent marries Sister Hui'er, and Mrs. Gu also has a light on her face. In the future, Wen Heng will rise one more level, so that Sister Hui will also get a fate, won't Mrs. Gu be even happier? ”
Cao Shi was surprised: "What? This, this, this...... It's too dangerous! In case Wen Heng has a ...... with three long and two short"
"That's going to count on his aunt and uncle to help!" Cheng said with a straight face, "We don't want Wen Heng to become a rising star in the army, we just need to let him follow behind the people and get a little light." General Fang has been in the border town for a long time, and now he is transferred abroad, and he is a landlord general, can't he even do this little thing?! ”
Cao Shi looked at her for a while, and slowly came back to her senses: "Sister-in-law, this is threatening me, right?" You threaten me with Sister Hui and let Brother Wenshan contribute to Wen Heng. ”
Cheng looked at her and said, "My sister is Wen Heng's aunt, and Fang Wenshan married you, so she is his uncle." How? Let my uncle help Wen Heng do something, is it difficult for him? My sister doesn't want Sister Hui to have a good time after she gets married? Don't you just think about throwing her to our mother and son, and then go happily with Fang Wenshan with peace of mind?! ”
Cheng Wang hurriedly said: "Eldest sister, Mrs. Gu must not mean this, don't be angry." He persuaded Cao again, "Mrs. Gu, this is obviously the best of both worlds, why don't you agree?" ”
Cao Shi straightened his face and didn't speak, and after a long time, he said: "I can't do anything about this, I have to ask Brother Wenshan." ”
Cheng's expression was faint: "Then I'll wait for my sister's good news." When I have a quasi-letter, I can also prepare a dowry and marriage letter for my sister. ”
Cao Shi thought of his daughter's marriage, held back his breath, got up and left.
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law broke up again.
