Chapter 1213 Doting
"Grandmother, don't count on me." Yun Jiao pursed her lips and smiled: "The rules here are big, I'm young, how can I understand these things." ”
"You're the most promising in our family now, I don't expect you to count on anyone?" The old lady looked at her and smiled: "With you coming back, I am much more relieved." ”
Yun Jiao just smiled and didn't speak.
She had already understood from what her sister-in-law had just said, her brother and sister-in-law were not very optimistic about this family business, and they didn't even like the girl, but her grandmother insisted on being the master to set this family business.
However, none of this has much to do with her, she is already married, how can she be qualified to come back and take care of these things?
But since her sister-in-law asked her to come back, then she should come back to see them, and by the way, to see what kind of girl and what kind of person she is.
"So what are you going to do today?" Yun Jiao saw that her grandmother kept staring at her and smiled, so she felt uncomfortable, so she had nothing to say.
In the past, my grandmother had never had such a "loving" appearance for her, but now it is really like a different person, which shows that circumstances can indeed change a person.
You must know that when my mother was still alive, my grandmother didn't even want to look at her, and now it's really a time passing.
"Today, it's nothing." The old lady smiled and said, "Didn't you see each other a few days ago?" I don't recognize the door yet, but today the two matchmakers will take your eighth brother and us together, which can be regarded as recognizing the door. ”
"Won't you all be at home later?" Yun Jiaoyuan opened her eyes and looked at Xia Jingshu: "Should I go back?" ”
"What are you going to do back?" The old lady stepped forward and took her hand: "I thought about it, just me and your sister-in-law, and you will accompany you, and there are two matchmakers, and a few more people, it will be enough." ”
"I'm going?" Yun Jiao smiled on her face, and tried not to trace her hand back: "Shouldn't my brother go?" What do I go like? ”
Then when other people talk about her, isn't it like talking about Qin Huanxi? After getting married, he came back to take care of his mother's family, which is unreasonable, and he is talked about.
"What's wrong with you going? Your brother went and came back, but he didn't say a word, it didn't work, and your father was the same, he refused to go out.
You can help you see if you go. The old lady insisted: "You are there, you don't need to speak, just come back and talk to us in private, even if it is to help grandmother, okay?" ”
Yun Jiao was still a little reluctant, hesitating to refuse, although she wanted to see what kind of person it was, but she didn't want to be talked about, she got married, not in the past, she had to think about the Qin family in life and everything.
Outsiders talk about her, but they have to talk about how the daughter-in-law of the Qin family is.
"Jiao'er." The old lady suddenly grabbed her arm: "This house has become like this now, your father is closed all day, grandmother didn't blame you, but it was because of your business at the beginning, right?"
Now that there's something going on at home, you can't just ignore it? Your starling's family affair can't be delayed, once this family affair is missed, it will be gone. ”
"Sister, just go, just accompany me." Xia Jingshu also persuaded her.
She couldn't take the proposition, thinking that Yun Jiao could give her an idea after going to see it.
"That's it." Yun Jiao saw that her sister-in-law opened her mouth, so she never refused.
The old lady was overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned her subordinates to get up and prepare to go.
Out of the courtyard, Yun Jiao was already ready to see Yun Jiao coming, and he was quite happy, saying that there was a ninth sister here, so there was nothing to worry about.
Yun Jiao naturally humbled a few words, and always felt that something was wrong, why did this big family talk to her?
She made up her mind that she wouldn't say anything unless she had to, she knew in her heart that as long as she opened her mouth about this family business, she wouldn't be able to please her whether it was successful or not.
A moment later, the four carriages headed towards the East City Gate, Yun Jiao and Xia Jingshu were in the second carriage, Yun Jiao and the old lady were in the front carriage, and the first two carriages were carrying two matchmakers and a few subordinates.
The carriage went all the way out of the city, and walked for a while until it came to a stop at the very edge of the city.
Yun Jiao got out of the carriage and found that the carriage was parked at the door of a family, with a small courtyard of blue bricks and an old wooden door, which looked a little shabby.
The rest also came down.
The matchmaker knocked on the door.
After a while, someone opened the door from inside, Yun Jiao glanced at it, it was a middle-aged woman, probably the girl's mother, she was not tall, and leaned out half of her body to greet them.
When she wasn't smiling, the corners of her mouth were slightly downward, as if she didn't look very easy to get along with.
However, when she greeted people, she smiled and groaned.
A few people followed the two matchmakers into the door, and the next person stayed outside.
Yun Jiao entered the door and took a look, and found that she expected it to be good, this courtyard was not only simple, but also small.
In the yard, there is a well, and an old woman with a girl is washing vegetables by the well, and a middle-aged man is sharpening a knife on the side.
When she saw the crowd come in, the old woman stopped what she was doing and came up to greet her.
The girl got up and took a few steps back, and stood at the door of the room, silent, and the man who sharpened the knife did not move, still sharpening the knife.
The old lady stepped forward to talk to them, Xia Jingshu also said a few words, and Yun Jiao just greeted politely.
She learned that the family's surname was Xu, the girl's name was Xu Huilan, and the family was simple, the middle-aged couple in front of her were her parents, the old woman was her grandmother, and her grandfather was seriously ill and was lying on the bed in the room.
In addition, there was a younger brother in the family, much younger than her, and as he spoke, he saw a boy of eight or nine years old, with a bamboo under his crotch, popping out of the house.
After the boy came out, he didn't care about the bunch of people at the door, and rushed straight up, everyone dodged one after another, and he ran into Xia Jingshu.
Xia Jingshu subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop it, and he howled and cried, threw the bamboo pole on the ground, and the person also lay on the ground and rolled back and forth crying.
Xia Jingshu was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, the Xu family gathered around, and Xu's mother even picked up her son, and several people gathered around to coax and dry the guests aside.
Yun Jiao and Xia Jingshu looked at each other, what good children can be raised by raising children like this?
The family easily coaxed the children, and smiled and beckoned Yun Jiao and them to enter the door.
Although Yun Jiao didn't like it in her heart, she saw that her grandmother had no intention of leaving, since she came with her, then send the Buddha to the west.
So, she took Xia Jingshu and followed in.
The old lady asked the subordinates outside to bring in the prepared gifts, and told the Xu family which ones were for whom.
Yun Jiao took advantage of this opportunity to quietly look at Xu Huilan.
But seeing that she was really dark and fair-skinned, I looked at it suddenly, and her appearance was really good, but if I looked closely, it was really like what my sister-in-law said, her eyes were blank, and her whole head shook a little involuntarily, but it was very slight, if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it.
She stood quietly aside, not saying a word, not like a talker.
Yun Jiao wanted to take a closer look, but Xu Huilan's younger brother made a fuss again, took the yam balls they brought, and had to cook them for him immediately.
"Hui'an, grandmother will take you to cook." As the grandmother of the Xu family spoke, she hugged her grandson and went to the kitchen with yam balls.
Mother Xu said politely: "Since you are here, let's eat here, and I'll go buy some cooked vegetables." ”
"No need, you guys are some way out of the city, we passed by a restaurant on the way, so we bought them together." The old lady had already prepared, and asked the next person to bring the dishes in.
Actually, this is Xia Jingshu's idea, she won't say it herself, Yun Jiao doesn't know if she can get used to it, so it's better to buy it directly.
"I also bought it and brought it, and it was too polite." Mother Xu said a polite word, and said: "Since I have prepared it, then I won't buy it, and it will be in vain if I can't finish it." ”
"yes, don't buy it." The old lady responded and beckoned to the subordinates: "Come, put it on." ”
Yun Jiao followed them and sat down around the table amid the greeting of the Xu family.
The grandmother of the Xu family held the boiled yam balls, led Xu Hui'an with one hand, and walked back.
During the meal, Xu's father kept his head buried and didn't speak, and Xu's mother didn't talk much, but fortunately, the two matchmakers played a role at this time, and they didn't have anything to say, so they wouldn't be cold.
However, the attention of the Xu family is on Xu Hui'an, almost three adults take turns to feed him, and when he says a word, the three adults all compete to serve him vegetables, just like the stars and the moon.
Yun Jiao was dumbfounded, she followed her grandmother when she was a child, and she would take care of herself early, although her grandmother loved her, she had never doted on her like this, and she had never seen anyone treat her children like this.
Looking at Xu Hui'an, who was bathed in the caring eyes of the whole Xu family, she shook her head secretly, she was like a murderer, even if such a child was raised, it would be useless, maybe it would still be a scourge.
After eating, she sat with a few people for a while, Yun Jiao really couldn't sit still, so she simply stood in the courtyard to breathe.
The old lady and the grandmother of the Xu family have something to say, and with the matchmaker to accompany them, it can be regarded as a joy to watch.
Yun Jiao waited almost impatiently, only to see her grandmother come out accompanied by the grandmother of the Xu family, and Xu's mother also came to see off the guests.
And Father Xu, teasing his son in the house, had no intention of coming out to see off the guests at all.
And Yun Jiao also noticed that from beginning to end, this family has never sent food to the room, and no one seems to care about the old man lying in the room, she estimates that either this family is not filial, or the grandfather of the Xu family is terminally ill and can't eat.
After the carriage drove out for a while, Xia Jingshu spoke: "Ninth sister, what do you think of this family?" ”
"This ......" Yun Jiao smiled and said with some hesitation: "It's hard to say." ”
"What is it difficult to say about you and me?" Xia Jingshu took her hand: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"I think this family business, sister-in-law, you should leave it alone, grandmother should take care of it, you can let her be." Yun Jiao pondered.
"Why?" Xia Jingshu paused: "Do you also think that this family is inappropriate?" ”
Yun Jiao glanced at her, and stopped talking.
"Oh, just say it." Xia Jingshu shook her hand: "Aren't you telling me the truth?" ”
"You see that kind of parents, doting on their children, what good children can they teach?" Yun Jiao said slowly: "And in this family, my father is not polite, he ignores us when he eats, and he doesn't send guests when he leaves, like a child who has not grown up, and that child is even more arrogant and unreasonable."
And the family also ignored the grandfather on the sickbed, and it had been nearly two hours since we went, and no one had even entered the room to take a look. ”
She felt that this family was not a good family, at least the family style was not good.
"Or you will say, I feel that something is wrong, I can't say so much about you, but when you say this, I think it's right everywhere, it really says my heart." Xia Jingshu agreed again and again: "Then what do you think, how about that girl?" ”
"Girl, it's okay to look at it roughly, but I don't think she is an assertive person, I'm afraid that she will become a relative in the future, and she will listen to her mother's family in everything, so it will be annoying." Yun Jiao said honestly.
"That's what I'm thinking." Xia Jingshu frowned: "Then you say, can't I object to this family business?" ”
"Against?" Yun Jiao looked at her: "Why does my sister-in-law think about objecting?" Just leave it alone. ”
"You don't care if you can, anyway, you went to the Qin family to live a good life, I can't ignore it." Xia Jingshu was a little upset: "If you marry in the future, you will be a family with me, and you will not see anyone who looks up between you and the concubine, if it is really not easy to get along, then what should I do?" ”
"Really." Yun Jiao was stunned: "I forgot about this stubble." ”
"I'll talk to my grandmother." Xia Jingshu lowered her head, thought for a while, and said, "Don't worry, I won't say that you said these words."
I said that although the head of the family is not as good as before, he has never been so depressed as to marry such a family. ”
"Even if you say it's what I said, it's nothing, I'm not afraid of anyone, at first I just thought it was none of my business, but now it's about my favorite sister-in-law, can I stand by and watch?" Yun Jiao hugged her arm affectionately.
"You have a conscience." Xia Jingshu pinched her nose, and her face looked better.
When I arrived at home and entered the main hall, the old lady couldn't wait to ask, "Jiao'er, what do you think of that family?" Is this family business good? ”
Yun Jiao couldn't say it directly, so she could only say euphemistically: "That depends on what the starling brother means." ”
She said and looked at Yun Yan.
She felt in her heart that this starling brother had been messing around in Fengyue for a few years, although the girl looked good, but the white jade was flawed, and the starling's vision was not so low, right?
"I'm all with my grandmother." Put the clouds in a senseless way.
Although he lingered in Fengyue places, he also heard people say that marrying a wife is different from having fun outside, as for the difference, he is not very clear, and it will not be wrong to listen to the elders of the family left and right.
"That family has a simple population, and the girl looks quiet, according to my wishes, it will be settled, what do you think?" Listening to the old lady and listening to her, I felt a lot more comfortable, in this family, no one has been so well-behaved in front of her for a long time, this old eight, there is no pain in vain.
"Grandmother, I think something is wrong." Xia Jingshu plucked up her courage and spoke: "That's just an ordinary family, I always feel that although our family is not as good as before, it has not fallen to this point, and the eighth brother should at least find a girl from a family who is an official." ”
