258 The toad wants to eat swan meat

Shen Cheng's fiancée is mediocre, and her figure is also very thin.

This kind of thin woman is not uncommon in the northwest, because the northwest has a hard life, so when you look at it on the street, at least seven or eight out of ten are thin people. Especially for women, because they don't have to support their families like men, they eat less; Some people try to save food rations from their mouths for the sake of their growing children in the family, so their bodies become thinner and thinner.

But this girl's family is good. Her family is a grain merchant, although she is not famous in Daqi, and she is not famous in Shuozhou, but she is still very famous in the local area.

Such a family naturally has no shortage of food and drink, and because this girl is the old daughter of her parents, she is even more favored by her family as a treasure in the palm of her hand. Don't talk about wearing gold and silver every day, at least eating and drinking is always the best.

But that's it, she still raises her thin and thin figure.

In Aunt Shen's opinion, this is just no blessing. Especially since the girl's buttocks are still small, this is not easy to give birth.

If it weren't for the wealth of this girl's family, in order to catch up with her father's connections, Aunt Shen would not have thought of setting up this family affair for her son.

But it was decided, and Aunt Shen was always unhappy. Of course, this kind of unhappiness Aunt Shen has never shown in front of outsiders, and even when outsiders envy her for setting a good family affair for her son, she is still complacent and very proud. But when she was home by herself behind closed doors, she couldn't help muttering in her heart. While muttering and comforting herself, the future daughter-in-law is not as bad as she thinks.

It's better to think like this, but the awkwardness and dislike in the bottom of my heart exist after all. Originally, it was enough to endure like this, but one day Xu Erlang and Jin Niang developed, and even they were stained with them and were scolded by everyone, and Aunt Shen's mind became active.

She didn't like her future daughter-in-law, and someone whispered in her ear all day long: If she knew that she had a talented son, she would definitely marry her to form a family of children, but now she only pities her own daughter without this blessing......

What does this mean, can Aunt Shen still not understand? When drowsy met a pillow, Aunt Shen was not unhappy. So, the surprise overwhelmed her mind, and Aunt Shen immediately finalized the relationship between her children and her in-laws, and turned around and took the daughter-in-law's Geng post that she had set earlier, and went to return the family affairs.

She didn't discuss this matter with Uncle Shen, but you can imagine how Uncle Shen felt when he was blocked on the street by his future in-laws. He was so angry and anxious that he almost vomited blood. In the end, although the blood did not spit out, the whole person was sick for a long time.

Aunt Shen was also sent back to her parents' house to reflect, but no matter what, there was no reason for this retired family to remarry, not to mention that Aunt Shen was engaged to Shen Cheng again, so naturally she had no relationship with her earlier in-laws.

Uncle Shen was ashamed and ashamed, and he didn't have the face to go out to see people for several months.

How this happened in the end, few people know. Anyway, Shen Cheng did marry his later daughter-in-law, but not long after they got married, Xu Erlang became a jinshi, and Xu Erlang became the champion...... Not only that, but even with Father Lin, he has become a well-known new science and technology scholar in the entire Shuozhou City.

This can make Uncle Shen's cow bad, just like she is the person in the middle jinshi, and Aunt Shen can't wait to lift her chin to the sky. Talking to people all day long is yin and yang, which makes her seem to be so capable.

Her temper is already bitter and mean, but now that her nephew, son-in-law and sister-in-law have all been admitted to Jinshi, and even more so, Xu Erlang has become a six-grade official in the imperial court, so Aunt Shen will tremble.

And because Shen Cheng's wife gave birth to a daughter for his first child, the patriarchal Aunt Shen was very dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law, so under the influence of someone with a heart, she was ready to buy two innocent girls for Shen Cheng as concubines.

Clinker Shen Cheng's wife was pregnant again at this time, and she miscarried the night when she was stimulated by the news. It's also a blessing, somehow it bleeds heavily, and then the good people are gone.

Shen Cheng became a widower.

Although Aunt Shen felt that her daughter-in-law was dead at this time, she was very happy in her heart. Doesn't it all say that he was promoted and made a fortune and gave birth to a wife, although Shen Cheng was not promoted and did not get rich, but his dearest relatives were promoted, so Uncle Shen's mind became bigger and bigger.

How big is her mind?

is so big that he wants to hold this wealth more tightly in his hands, so he thought of a way, wanting to kiss and kiss, and promote the relationship between Shen Cheng and Xuanxuan.

After Aunt Shen had this thought, she was not interested in other matchmakers who came to propose marriage. In addition, Shen Cheng had to keep filial piety for his deceased wife for a year, so as to gain a good reputation, so she was very silent for a year.

A year has passed, and Shen Cheng's grandmother has been newly mourned, so the matter of proposing relatives naturally has to be postponed.

finally came out of filial piety, and Aunt Shen couldn't wait to persecute Uncle Shen and took her family to Lin's house.

In Shen's aunt's opinion, marrying Xuanxuan to Shen Cheng is a kiss and a kiss, whether it is a sister or a brother-in-law, there is definitely no unwillingness. Her own son, she looks good in everything, so she doesn't think it's wrong to let Shen Cheng marry a little girl with a good family background, a father and brothers, and a beautiful and delicate girl.

As for Uncle Shen, although he knows that this matter is a little embarrassing, but thinking of his son who has been crowned in the year but still has nothing to do, he can't help but make deeper plans for him.

This plan is also very easy to do, just like what Aunt Shen said, if Shen Cheng really marries Xuanxuan, then there is Father Lin running for Shen Cheng's future, Xu Erlang taking care of him, and then there is the support of Qing'er who will have a promising future, and Shen Cheng has no bad reason.

For the sake of his son's future, and in order to allow the Shen family to really get ahead, Uncle Shen lost a little conscience, tried to ignore the incompatibility between the two, and went to the Lin family with the meaning of "coercing kindness".

But he felt ashamed in the end, so he didn't open his mouth during the whole process when he mentioned the family matter, and only let Uncle Shen speak.

originally thought that no matter how unreasonable this request was, Father Lin and Aunt Shen would definitely have to consider a few points in the relationship in the old years, but who would have thought that Father Lin didn't even think about it, so he refused directly.

The reason for Father Lin's refusal is also very clear: first, in the early years, Jin Niang liked Shen Cheng, although this matter was not publicized to the public, but he and Aunt Shen both saw this matter, and even Shen Cheng himself, it could not be said that he had no feelings for it. Although Jin Niang married Xu Erlang later, no one mentioned this matter again, but it always existed, if Xuanxuan really married Shen Cheng, and then knew that at this time, it would be difficult for the sisters to be suspicious. Second, Xuanxuan is now in the cardamom years, she looks delicate and cute, and it is not difficult to say that she has a good family affair.

To put it mildly, Xuanxuan has a good eldest sister who loves her and marries, and there is a brother who became the leader at a young age, and he, the father who has been a jinshi, takes care of her, her future is naturally good. In the past two years, many people have come to propose marriage to Xuanxuan, and even the county order wants to set Xuanxuan, the eldest granddaughter-in-law, for their own grandchildren; There are also young people who have also won the show and have a solid net worth, and sincerely come to the door to ask for marriage. Compared with these people, Shen Cheng achieved nothing, and he couldn't mention it at all. And the only place where he takes advantage is that he has an in-law relationship with the Shen family and the Lin family, if he is close to each other, his daughter will not be treated poorly when she arrives there.

But is that really the case?

has a mother-in-law like Aunt Shen, even Father Lin can't guarantee that Xuanxuan can really live well when she marries.

So there is no need to consider this family matter at all, he will never agree with it.

Father Lin refused the matter, and Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen were like a bolt from the blue. But the form is stronger than the person, and now that the Lin family is out, it is not a place where Aunt Shen can sprinkle. Aunt Shen held her breath and went back and had a big fight with Uncle Shen in the Lin family's room...... Everyone knows who this is for, but even so, Father Lin gritted his teeth and did not let go.

In desperation, Aunt Shen could only retreat to the second, and once again bring up the old matter, using human affection and blood and family affection to coerce and lure Father Lin to marry Mingzhu as his daughter-in-law for Qing'er...... This was another request that Father Lin couldn't agree to.

Mingzhu's child looks good, but over the years, she has learned to do business with Aunt Shen, and she has not become clever and likable, but has learned all the vices of Aunt Shen's tricks, calculating, and praising high and low.

Father Lin has high expectations for his only son, although he does not expect him to be a marquis and become a prince of the imperial court in the future, but he also hopes that he can be appointed as a local official and do some practical and good things for the local people.

What Qing'er needs is a virtuous helper, and what she needs is a woman who understands the general situation, understands proportion, is knowledgeable, and can get along with him.

And Mingzhu, she doesn't even know the simplest three-character scripture, and she doesn't know a few big characters, plus she has a vulgar and bitter temperament, not to mention helping Qing'er, I'm afraid that she will offend everyone by then.

Under this kind of consideration, Father Lin naturally would not agree to this matter. In fact, when Aunt Shen mentioned that he wanted to kiss and kiss earlier, he flatly refused, but he didn't expect them to mention it again...... This is expected that he will not agree to Shen Cheng and Xuanxuan's family affairs, and if he refuses to marry Mingzhu, he will have a reputation of disliking the poor and loving the rich. In order not to ruin the reputation of the Lin family, I had to agree to Mingzhu to enter the door?

Aunt Shen was calculating, but she was wrong about Father Lin.

Father Lin really cares about reputation. A man lives a face, a tree lives a skin, and as long as he survives, he has a face. What's more, he still has to think about his son...... Qing'er is still studying and progressing, and he doesn't want the affairs of the Lin family to affect him and make his reputation a little flawed. Therefore, it is difficult to say no.

In the end, Father Lin had no choice but to pass the buck on the matter, Jin Niang had said earlier that she would say goodbye to Qing'er, and when Qing'er arrived in the capital, Jin Niang was afraid that she had already agreed with someone about this.

Whether Aunt Shen and Uncle Shen will believe it, and whether they will write a letter to question afterwards, this is something that is unknown.

In order to prevent Uncle Shen from really writing to ask, Jin Niang said that she leaked her mouth without checking, and this family matter could not be postponed any longer, so Father Lin came to the letter and informed Jin Niang in advance.

After reading the letter, Jin Niang's brows furrowed.

Although in the letter, Father Lin mentioned that Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen asked Shen Cheng to marry Xuanxuan, and did not say much about Shen Cheng's current situation. But Jin Niang is not a person who does not know the world, Shen Cheng got married earlier, and now he is begging to marry Xuanxuan, he must have lost his wife.

He has achieved nothing, and it is not impossible to find a low-profile girl to marry into the family, but don't you know what your own conditions are? She is not outstanding, and she wants to rely on the love of the two families to climb the high branches, so Jin Niang wants to ask, how big is this?

Besides, doesn't he feel embarrassed?

Earlier he also liked Jin Niang - Shen Cheng should have liked Jin Niang earlier, and Jin Niang and Jin Niang can also be called happy. But Shen Cheng was not responsible, afraid of Aunt Shen's majesty, and Aunt Shen's dislike for Jinniang, so he didn't express his intentions for a long time. Until Jin Niang and Xu Erlang got married, he put on an affectionate and affectionate look like Jin Niang was failing him, and his heart was like ashes. To be honest, thinking of this incident to this day, Jin Niang feels that her stomach is tumbling and she feels nauseous.

Shen Cheng has no responsibility, which is not enough to entrust him for life. Without the ability to learn, it is not enough to stand up; In addition, as a widower, and his deceased wife left a daughter, in this situation, marrying a girl from a small door is the best way out. He has a big heart and wants to marry Xuanxuan...... It's not that Jin Niang said it, or Shen Cheng didn't have it before he got married, and it was a dream to have this kind of thought.

As for the back, if she wants to tell Mingzhu to Qing'er, Jinniang disagrees with 110,000.

Let's not explain that Zhu Dazi doesn't know a single one, far from being a good match for Qing'er, it means that Zhu is long in the hands of Aunt Shen, and he has learned Uncle Shen's temperament ten out of ten, which is enough to make Jin Niang's diaphragm respond.

She chooses a daughter-in-law for Qing'er, not necessarily how good the other party's family background is, but she should have outstanding character and ability. And Mingzhu is obviously not a good match for Qing'er.

Many thoughts crossed Jin Niang's heart, and her brows frowned even tighter.

She doesn't socialize much now, and it's a little difficult to find a good girl for Qing'er. What's more, now she is not in the capital, but in Hezhou. The girl in Hezhou has an atmospheric temperament and a tall figure, and she likes it very much.

But even if she falls in love, she has to let Qing'er see it. But Qing'er is now studying in the capital, and it is difficult to come here.

So what to do?

Jin Niang thought about it and decided to go with the flow. It's a big deal that Uncle Shen really wrote to inquire about it, so she coaxed them. Anyway, they are not in the capital, nor are they in Hezhou, and they don't know if her words are true or false, so they will fool the past first.

Jin Niang put down the letter and opened the letter written by Pian Pian again. The letter sent by Pian Pian was not only written by herself, but also several pages were written by Chang'an, Changping and Qing'er.

The three of them happened to return home on the day of rest, and when they learned that Pian Pian was going to send a letter to Hezhou, they also wrote a few pages and sandwiched them in the envelope and asked them to send them together.

The simplicity of Chang'an's letter is nothing more than the daily life of the college, their exam results, and interesting stories such as playing polo and horse racing with their classmates.

Qing'er also wrote that she had a good life in the academy, and she had made progress in the two ten-year exams, and now she is barely ranked first or second.

Jin Niang's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she felt that Qing'er was really good. Ranked first or second in the class, that's a real improvement. I think that when he first entered the B class of Yingtian Academy, he was only within ten places, but when they came to Hezhou, he was four or five in the class, and now it has only been a long time, and he can compete with his classmates for the first place, which is really amazing.
