Xie Yingfen frowned and listened to Wanqin's words, and was already a little impatient: "In my aunt's heart, what kind of family affairs are good family affairs?" Do you only look at the rank of the official? That Cao Wentai is just a showman, and almost all the children in the second and fourth rooms of the Cao family are white, why do you think they are good marriage partners? Besides, if you only look at the official rank, the brother-in-law of the Huang family is much stronger than the children of the fourth and fifth rooms of the Cao family, but his father is still a fourth-grade official from the imperial examination, not because of his status as a relative, he thinks that he is a high-ranking person without official or position! ”

Wanqin looked at her daughter and couldn't help but slap the table and said, "Why should the girl pretend in front of me?" I don't believe you don't understand what I'm saying! It's not about rank! Even if that Huang Juren has a bright future, his family's foundation is too thin. The official's father has been dead for several years, and he is afraid that he will not be able to use his connections during his lifetime, and he has no brothers. How strong can such a person be? What I'm afraid of is that if the master thinks that such a person can also be called a good son-in-law, when he chooses a husband for your sisters in the future, I am afraid that the candidate will be more unbearable than Huang Juren!

"The family population is small and the foundation is not deep, which is secondary, if it is a talent and a person who looks like a bright future but is poor and white, then even if he marries and becomes an official wife, what use can it be? ! My good girl, although you were not born in your wife's belly, you have been fine clothes and food since you were a child, and you have never suffered anything except for the time when our family was copied. If you marry a poor man in the future, you can't even afford a serious house, and you have to live on the property you married in the past, how can you live that life?! If the mother-in-law is kind and reasonable, it will be fine, but she will suffer for a few years, and she will be able to enjoy happiness with her husband in the future; In case you meet a domineering person, even your dowry is greedy, like those stupid women from poor families in the countryside, they call you like a girl, and tell your husband and outsiders that this is the filial piety that a daughter-in-law should do, where can you be reasonable?! ”

Wanqin followed Xie Pu in the years she was in office, and she had also seen a little of the world. At that time, Xie Pu, in order to make political achievements as soon as possible, always refused to obey the Cao family's arrangements and went to those rich places to be fat, but liked to go to the poor countryside and run a poor county and poor state to the extent that the people could barely eat and wear, and felt that this was the most fulfilling. Wanqin followed to those poor and remote places, and she saw a lot of absurd stories, and heard a lot of absurd stories from other people's mouths, and now she took them all out to scare her daughter and scare herself.

She tried hard to convince her daughter that she wanted to seek the help of the Cao family and ask for a good marriage for a pair of children, which was by no means untargeted, but far-sighted. Maybe the Cao family is not a reliable object, but her motherly heart should not be ignored and belittled by her daughter. Even if she is now punished and grounded, she knows in her heart that her daughter must have presented Luo Niangzi's letter to her husband Xie Pu, she doesn't feel that she is wrong.

Instead, she wants to wake up her daughter's head and let her see her situation clearly: Xie Pu, who is a father, is a careless man who only looks at his son-in-law's future but does not consider his daughter's married life; Wen, who is a mother-in-law, is a fox spirit who is gentle and kind on the surface, but will be a yin person in secret, and can also make the object of yin grateful to Dade! The other children in the family are either stupid people or have their own plans, except for her, the biological mother, who else will really think about the lifelong happiness of Xie Yingfen and Xie Hanzhi's sister and brother?!

Xie Yingfen felt that she couldn't listen anymore. If you listen to it again, God knows what ridiculous things your aunt Wanqin will say? This is the transept of the main courtyard, and there are people passing by from time to time in the verandah by the patio outside, in case these words reach the ears of her grandmother Wen, wouldn't she have to find a hole in the ground to get in?!

She had heard Xie Meijun and Yang Yuan's marriage mention it earlier, although it was Xie Pu's proposal, but it was also decided after the eldest sister Xie Yinghui personally met and talked to Huang Yan. Mother-in-law Wen is responsible for discussing marriage with Mrs. Huang, just going through the motions, she has never been the leader, but now in her aunt's mouth, she has become a conspirator. But how can Xie Yingfen explain this matter clearly? Wanqin didn't recognize Huang Yan as a man worthy of Xie Yinghui at all, how could she think that Xie Yinghui had chosen the most suitable marriage for her? She is still standing on the side of the old lord Cao Shuqing at all, thinking that Xie Yinghui should marry back to the Cao family, not the third room, but also the son of another room, at least the son of a prince and nobleman in the capital, right?

Xie Yingfen took a few deep breaths and said lightly: "My aunt is thinking too much, this marriage is the mastermind of my father, and my wife is just acting according to orders." Besides, it's hard to buy the eldest sister's willingness. The eldest sister herself had already taken a fancy to Huang Juren when she was in the capital, otherwise how could she have moved to Zhuangzi in advance to live with the people in the second room? ”

"What?!" Wanqin was taken aback, recalling her experience in the capital, and immediately thought crookedly, "That Huang Juren is so cunning!" He is deliberately trying to seduce the eldest lady, and he wants to eat swan meat......"

"Enough!" Xie Yingfen couldn't help but interrupt her, "Do you think the eldest sister is very good at kissing now?!" Thanks to the shameless old master of the aunt, the eldest sister is now almost caught in gossip in the capital, but whenever she encounters an old acquaintance outside, she will be ridiculed for a long time. Do you still want her to marry back to a wealthy family in the capital?! I don't want to think about it, that Mrs. Cao makes endless troubles every day, so that everyone can see her jokes, the eldest sister is so tired that she doesn't dare to see anyone, how can she marry back to the capital? !

"It makes no sense for my aunt to think of good people in bad terms. You think you're working hard, but I feel ...... You have been making a fuss for so long, and you have not received anything except to ask your father and wife to stop listening to your opinions on the marriage between your fourth brother and me. What are you still tossing about?! ”

Wanqin's face suddenly changed greatly, and her expression became even more ugly.

Xie Yingfen turned her head and instructed Ginkgo: "Wait for your aunt, don't tell her too much about the news outside, lest your aunt start thinking crankily as soon as she knows a little about it." I will bring my fourth brother over every day to say goodbye, you remember to take good care of your aunt, don't let her go out! Don't let the messy people outside come in and tell your aunt something. If anyone comes over and talks nonsense to my aunt in order to covet some reward, you can't stop it, just report your name to me when you turn around, and I will report it to my wife and let my wife fall! ”

Ginkgo bowed her head in response. Xie Yingfen left without looking back, Wanqin was so anxious to slap the table behind her, but there was nothing she could do about her daughter.

Another day later, the maiden in the main courtyard discussed privately again, saying that the governor's wife had handed Wen a post and agreed to come to visit her one day. The old man Xie Pu and the governor seem to have never been very close, the other party's wife has never been to the Xie family as a guest, and the Wen family has been to the governor's mansion once, but that is to attend the banquet.

What is the governor's wife here for? Could it be that he is also here to propose?

The sound of discussion came into the window of the ear room, and Wanqin was stunned.
