002, Wang's obsession
The mother and daughter were chatting, when they saw the maid come to report that the eldest son had returned.
The three of them were a little surprised, it had been less than two hours since they went to see off their relatives, why did they come back? Anyway, I want to save it for a happy bar.
I saw the eldest prince enter the door and salute the Pei family, and the two sisters of Suxi also greeted the eldest brother.
Pei Shi saw his tired appearance and hurriedly asked people to serve tea and snacks, Su Wenqin was indeed thirsty, and drank it all in one breath with the cup.
Pei's face was distressed, and while laughing at his son for not even knowing how to drink some tea when he went to the prefect's mansion, he told the maid to quickly bring the stewed rock sugar pear.
Su Wenqin drank two bowls of rock sugar pears in a row, and then slowly eased up, and then talked about sending relatives.
It turned out that the prefect really didn't take the matter of accepting Su Mengping's wife's position seriously, not to mention the perfunctory along the way, and when he arrived at the door of the prefect, he actually let the sedan chair be carried in through the back door.
Wen Qin and Wen Han naturally refused to agree, shouting to see the Wu Governor's Mansion, the steward pushed back and forth, refused to report, and beckoned the sedan chair man to carry it in, Wen Han was so angry that he grabbed the collar of the steward and was about to beat.
It's good to let Wen Qin stop him, otherwise he won't be able to end the game.
The two sides were deadlocked for a while, but Wen Qin shouted: "If the prefect doesn't really want to marry Sufu, I will let the sedan chair go back." β
When the steward saw that they were really leaving, he reluctantly reported to the Wu Governor's Mansion.
Governor Wu, who was greedy for money, lustful and face-loving, immediately came out to apologize, pushed the matter to the steward, and reprimanded the steward in person, with a sincere attitude that made people speechless.
In the end, the side door was opened and they were invited in, thinking about Su Meng's future days, it was too ugly to make trouble with them, and the two brothers could only compromise.
Entering the house, the two brothers looked around, there was neither red silk and satin, nor full of guests, a pair of red candles in front of the hall, a pair of happy words can be regarded as telling people that the family is doing happy events.
The guests who came were full of no more than five tables, except for the ones they sent their relatives, the others turned out to be the Wu family's own family.
The two of them were really angry, and sent a little servant back to report the news, saying that this ceremony had not yet been done, if the second master and the second lady agreed, they would definitely bring Su Meng back.
It's a pity that the second lady only asked the little maid to pass the word to tell them to calm down and come back after the banquet.
Scold! There is no need to eat the banquet, and the gas is full. After the two of them had finished their visits, they didn't stay anymore and came back directly.
As soon as this experience was spoken, Pei's family, Su Xi, and Su Yun were even more annoyed by the behavior of the second lady, and they were also more worried about Su Meng's life in Wu Mansion.
As soon as the conversation stopped, a little girl came over to report that the second wife and the second young master quarreled in the old lady's Songhe Hall, which made the old lady faint angrily.
When Pei Shi came to Songhe Hall with his children, the quarrel had ended, Su Wenhan and the second lady knelt in front of the couch together, and the old lady lay on the soft collapse, looking not very good, but she finally woke up.
The old lady saw that Pei Shi didn't wait for her to salute, and directly ordered: "Boss daughter-in-law, go, call the boss and them back to me, I want to ask them, they are not satisfied with such a big family business, but they want to hold the stinky feet of a corrupt official." β
The old lady was angry, how could Pei's say no, and quickly asked Wenqin to find his father and two uncles, the old lady stared straight at Su Wenqin, watched him go out of the house, and then suppressed the anger.
Pei hurriedly stepped forward, took the ginseng soup in the maid's hand, and persuaded her to be relieved while feeding the old lady to drink.
Then the third lady Yang brought the fourth girl Su Tong and the sixth girl Su Zhen also came, and persuaded them together, which was slightly better.
"I just feel sorry for Sister Meng'er, she has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and now she was sent into the wolf's den by her mother, and I don't know how sad she is." The old lady wiped the corners of her eyes as she spoke.
"Mother, the daughter-in-law is Sister Meng's mother-in-law, can the daughter-in-law not think about her, you also saw the dowry prepared by the daughter-in-law for her, the daughter-in-law knows that she owes her, and the silver ticket at the bottom of the box can be given enough, and she went to the prefect's mansion, who dares to underestimate her."
The second lady couldn't listen to others say that she was not good to her daughter, and the old lady couldn't say it.
"Shut up, you're embarrassed to say," the old lady had just suppressed her anger, and she struggled to get up from the couch, but fortunately she was stopped by everyone.
The old lady sat on the couch, pointed to the second lady and said: "I said that you are a young lady from a big family who has nothing to do with my pen and ink, but I only know that the second lady who plans to plate is really a little wronged by you, so I defend you everywhere."
"If you want to support those official wives, I will also let you, let Wen Han, the only son of the second child, go to study and take the imperial examination, and I will follow you, just say that you are for the good of the child, but what are you doing?
"My poor dream.
"What did you tell me at the beginning, you said that the eldest son of the prefect's family liked our Meng'er, if he hadn't already had a wife, he would have come to the door to propose marriage, and now he is willing to hire Meng'er as his wife.
"βIs this the dream you want? This is the treatment of their Wu family's flat wife? Wang, I'm old, but I'm not confused. β
Wang was scolded by the old lady pointing at his nose, and his face turned red.
The three masters of the Su family finally came, followed by Su Wenqin and Su Wenhai, the third son of the big house, and the youngest daughter of the second lady, Su Rong, the third lady of the Su Mansion.
The three masters had already heard Su Wenqin talk about this on the way.
The third master was not born to the old lady, and most of the things in the house were not his turn to speak, not to mention that this time it was still the second room to marry the girl, and he himself understood that he simply did not participate, and only expressed his anger towards the Wu Mansion and his concern for the eldest girl.
Master Su was really angry, angry that there was no one in the eyes of the Wu Mansion, and he was also angry that the two of them couldn't carry it clearly.
But the Hengzhu incident has happened, and he is not his own daughter, so he can't say much, so he can only plan more about how to go after the Su family, and whether there is a chance to make up for this loss.
The second master obviously knew the true attitude of the Wu Mansion for a long time.
But on the one hand, he felt sorry for his daughter, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to go against his wife's wishes, so he had the idea of not being out of sight and out of mind, so he went to the south to buy goods in person after the marriage was decided, and only gave his wife a stack of silver tickets to put in the dowry.
When he first heard the scene of his daughter entering the mansion, the second master really regretted it, and he really wanted to go to the Wu Mansion immediately to bring his daughter back, but as soon as the Wang family stopped him, there was no movement.
At this time, he entered the Songhe Hall and saw his wife and children kneeling on the ground, he was distressed again, and learned that his mother was fine, so he wanted to say good things to his wife, but he had just said the beginning, and was ignored by the old lady.
It was Su Wenhan, the old lady was really angry, and when she calmed down at this time, she felt a little sorry for him, so she let him kneel for so long, and quickly asked the maid to help him get up and sit for a while.
However, Wen Han saw that no one dared to sit in a room of uncles and elders, where did he dare to sit, so he excused himself and stood behind his eldest brother Wen Qin.
Wang was the only one in the house still kneeling, Wang only felt that he was full of grievances, she spent so much thought and money to send her daughter to the high gate, for whom? It's not for their old Su family.
The imperial court's suppression of merchants is getting worse and worse, and those officials and masters are not eyeing the Su family, and they go to check their shops twice in three days.
Well, the Wang family also admitted that she was selfish, and she had suffered too much from the white eyes of those officials and wives, and she had turned from a dream to an obsession with changing the court.
But she didn't get caught up with the old lady, Wu Dagongzi really fell in love with their family Su Meng, but unfortunately she had already married a wife, and she couldn't let people stop marrying again.
Besides, the Wu Governor's Mansion accepted her silver and agreed that Meng'er would be a flat wife, and the son she gave birth to was also considered a concubine, how did she know that Wu Mansion said one thing and did another, and she was still distressed as a mother.
