Chapter 927: Intent
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, Mrs. Wan came to talk to Wen again, and stayed at Xie's house for most of the day, even eating lunch here.
Not only Mrs. Wan came, but also two official wives who didn't have much contact on weekdays but met yesterday at the tea party of Yanwangfu, and the husband's family was still next to Yanwangfu, and the ancestors of the earlier generations were the heirs of a certain Yanwangye. They bumped into Mrs. Wan, politely greeted each other, as if they were chatting very warmly, but in fact, each other's eyes were wary. As soon as the two wives mentioned how outstanding the children of the Xie family were, Mrs. Wan immediately humbled the Wen family, saying that they were not as good as the four girls of the Zhou family's new imperial examination and talents, and then focused on the gossip rumors of the Zhou family, and strictly defended the place, that is, they refused to let the two official wives have the opportunity to discuss too much with the Wen family on the issue of children, so as not to talk about the marriage of children when it arises.
The two official wives came in a hurry and returned in defeat, but obviously they had no intention of giving up, and left a message, saying that they had a good time today, and they would come to the door another day as a guest.
As soon as they left, Mrs. Wan, who was left at the end by virtue of being a close neighbor, said to Wen: "Don't listen to their nonsense, you really think that their children are some outstanding characters." They say that it sounds good in their family, and it is ugly, but it is just the identity of an empty clan, and it is not as good as an ordinary official eunuch, so they have a family background! That is, Yan Wang is benevolent, and in the past two years, he has given them men to find errands in the army, so that they don't continue to be idle, so that they have some meaning of passing by, but in the end, the family background is too thin, and the family wealth that was separated in the early years is not known how much they have wasted! What kind of good children can such a family raise? Whether you marry or marry, you don't have to spoil our own good children! ”
Wen didn't have much chance to perform today, so he could only smile and say: "You don't have to worry too much, I have been in Beiping for a few years, and I still know the local clan in Beiping, and I know who can come and go, and who is not easy to deal with." "Mrs. Wan is the newcomer who has only been here for half a year!
How could Mrs. Wan not understand this truth? It's just that she's too worried. At present, there are not many people who know Xiao Rui's identity and know that the Xie family is already the in-laws of the Yan Wang couple, but there are already people like her, who have taken a fancy to the children of the Xie family and want to marry. She knows more than outsiders, and knows that not all the children of the Xie family can be selected. To ensure that her daughter can marry the Xie family's sister-in-law smoothly, how can she do it if she doesn't guard it strictly?! And these words, she couldn't tell the truth to Wen's, so she could only dispel Wen's idea by belittling other people who were ready to move.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Wan had to go home and prepare dinner. She reluctantly said goodbye to Wen, and said to Wen: "Have a good chat today, I'll come to you again tomorrow." "That's it.
Wen actually knew in his heart what Mrs. Wan and the two official wives from the clan were talking about, but there were some things that they really couldn't refuse clearly. Xie Xianzhi has to wait for the eldest princess of Yongning's family to see each other after going north next year before he can decide on the family matter, before that, for the sake of Miss Ma's reputation, he can't say a word! Xie Jinzhi's marriage is not in a hurry, and Xie Pu also intends to consider the wishes of his mother Song. Xie Huizhi and Xie Hanzhi are still young, so they are not in a hurry. The four girls are almost all settled! Even if the marriage between Xie Yingrong and Wan Jia is still inconclusive, even if it can't be done, it is not difficult to marry her.
Wen only didn't understand one thing, that is, Mrs. Wan was already thinking about proposing to Xie Yingrong for Wanlong, and at the beginning of the tea party, she even asked her to find out, but there were too many things that happened later, and she didn't care about giving an answer. How did one day pass, Mrs. Wan seemed to be planning to marry her daughter to the Xie family again, and kept silent about Wan Long and Xie Yingrong? This is not good, it is not Wanlong, Xie Pu will never agree to marry Wanjia. Wen felt that it was necessary for him to find out what Mrs. Wan was thinking from the people of the Wan family.
On the third day, Mrs. Wan brought her two daughters over, and she didn't mention that she wanted her two daughters to talk and play with the girls of the Xie family, but left them to talk to Wen in the upper room of the main courtyard. Even if Wen smiled and asked someone to take the two Miss Wan to chat with her daughter, Mrs. Wan politely refused: "My eldest girl is about to get married, and she can't continue to eat and play like when she was a child, and she should learn how to take care of the director." I have such a violent temper, as soon as I see that she doesn't understand something, I can't help but have a seizure, and I make the child feel wronged. It's still Sister Wen, you're the best, you're both kind and capable. If I can let the big girl follow you to learn more about how to deal with people, what will I have to worry about in the future? Although the four girls are a little younger, they haven't been around for a few years, so they can start learning now, and they can help me share the burden! ”
Wen could only laugh dryly. She is just gossiping with the guests in the upper room, what can she teach the ladies of the Wan family? Mrs. Wan wants her to meet the two Miss Wan more so that she can know the benefits of them, right? After thinking about it, Wen could only tell the girl to call the girls in the family over to accompany him.
At this point, Mrs. Wan did not refuse again. Although she is not very interested in the other girls of the Xie family, it is very likely that the second girl Xie will become the princess of King Yan in the future, if the daughters can have a good relationship with her as soon as possible, they can also borrow some strength in the future, and they will have their own benefits. She didn't let her daughters go to play with the Xie family's girls, so that the Wen family could be more familiar with her daughters, not that she didn't want her daughters to be close to Xie Er.
So Xie Mulin was so confused, and followed the sisters to the front courtyard to entertain guests. She was dressed in a homely dress, and she originally planned to review the lessons taught by her grandmother Song today, and in the afternoon, she planned to take out the loom brought from her hometown in Huyin County and fiddle with it, to see if she could knit something for her father and mother before the year, and then weave a beautiful handkerchief, sweat towel, face towel or something for Princess Yan, Jingming Shitai and Lord Yongping. However, Wen's sudden summoning broke her plan, and she had to rush patiently to greet the Wanjia sisters.
Xie Yingrong, who heard the wind from nowhere, also followed. She was dressed neatly and elegantly, with just the right smile on her face, and she hugged her two sisters tightly to the main courtyard together. Xie Yinghui glanced back at her a few times, but did not say anything. The eldest lady is actually impatient to entertain thousands of mothers and daughters, and with Xie Yingrong here, at least she can worry about herself, so she didn't rush people.
It was Xie Mulin, as soon as she saw that Xie Yingrong was also here, she knew that she was coming for the Wan family. After thinking about it, she asked the sisters to stay for a while, but sent Cuijiao to call Xie Yingfen over. Anyway, since I was going to meet the neighbor who came to the door as a guest and called the third sister, there was no reason to leave the fourth sister behind, and the four sisters in the family were neat and tidy, which was the appearance of sisterly harmony. Otherwise, he only brought a concubine, and Xie Yingrong is not a person with outstanding acting skills, so he easily revealed his intention to marry a concubine of the Wan family, wouldn't he ruin the plan of the cheap daddy Xie Pu? !
