435 Chang'an's choice
Jin Niang was very disgusted in her heart, but her actions were very real.
She went out to the Chang'an courtyard, in order to prevent Xu Erlang from thinking that she was "inconsistent with the inside", Jin Niang also deliberately made a big circle. Directly from the west courtyard outside, I went around to the residence of several people in the east of Chang'an.
The two little cubs of Changzhou and Changhui are in class at this time, as for Chang'an Changping and Brother Rong, because during the summer vacation, the gentleman of the academy did not assign any homework, but it was quite leisurely.
But without homework, this tests the self-control of students.
is like Changping, the master didn't assign a task, so he wouldn't go to heaven. I wasn't in the house at all today, and it was said that I was looking for a place to go out of the city early in the morning to race horses.
On a hot day, people sweat and horses sweat. People sweat better, but the smell of sweat is a little bigger. But the horse was sweating, it was really fishy.
In this kind of weather, isn't it nice to stay in a room with an ice basin and sleep well? Isn't he uncomfortable lying on a soft couch eating an ice bowl and reading a script? If you have to die, you can't think of going out to run in the sun and being smoked.
Changping is not in the house, but Chang'an and Brother Rong are reading.
Chang'an just memorized an article, and he is writing it silently at the moment. Jin Niang saw it through the window from afar, so she didn't bother her son, and went straight out to find Chang'an.
Chang'an was also sitting by the window.
In front of him was a bookcase, with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and an open book.
The book was half-flipped and forgotten by its owner, and the pages rattled in the breeze.
But Chang'an didn't seem to hear the voice, and the whole person was completely caught in his own thoughts.
He was in a trance, his handsome eyebrows sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes tightening, sometimes not knowing what to think, and silently letting go.
And his mouth, pursed tightly from beginning to end, revealing a stubborn taste.
Jin Niang couldn't help frowning when she saw this, what can't you think of to find your second uncle. As long as your second uncle can solve the problem, it is not called a problem.
"Chang'an, what are you thinking?"
Jin Niang stopped the subordinates who wanted to greet her, and shouted Chang'an from a distance. Chang'an's attention suddenly returned, and when he saw the aunt who was walking towards him, he instantly gathered his thoughts, and said with surprise and surprise, "Auntie, why are you here?" Is there anything you want to tell your nephew, then you let a maid to pass the word, I went to Cui Bai Yuan, why do you bother to run by yourself? The sun is still shining at this time, and you are not afraid of tanning you? ”
Chang'an joked, looking relaxed. If it weren't for Jin Niang's boring appearance when she saw him before, she would have almost been deceived by his hearty and cheerful appearance.
However, she has a sharp eye, so she will not be deceived by a child.
Jin Niang was welcomed into the study by Chang'an, and she said, "The sun will set in a while, and it will not be as sunny as before, and it is not too hot, so I will come out and walk around." Otherwise, I'll be bored in the house all the time, and I'll be sick if I'm not sick. ”
Speaking of business again, "I really have something to look for you, no, Mrs. Fang Caiyun sent a post, saying that I was going to the house to enjoy osmanthus and eat crabs, nominally this, in fact, some ladies are optimistic about you as their son-in-law, this is to come and set up." ”
Chang'an's face was flushed, and he waved his hand with some shirk and said, "My nephew is still young, so I don't understand any of this." I can ask you and my second uncle to help me make decisions about marriage. Auntie, look at the idea, as long as you like it, I will definitely be satisfied. ”
"Nonsense. If you start a family and live a life, you will marry a daughter-in-law, not a daughter-in-law for your aunt. What's the use of being satisfied? I'm satisfied, you don't like it, doesn't that hurt you little couple? Chang'an, don't be shy, don't all children have to start a family when they grow up? Auntie came over this time to ask you to see if you have a favorite girl, if you have a fancy girl, Auntie will not bother to choose. If you don't have a heart, then you tell your aunt a standard, do you want to be virtuous or beautiful? Do you prefer to be plumper or slimmer? Do you want to be smart and lively, or gentle and delicate? ”
With Jin Niang's words, Chang'an's whole person burned. His cheeks were hot and hot, and even his neck was stained with a layer of redness. The child's embarrassed appearance, Jin Niang couldn't bear to ask him again, but what she just said made sense.
Starting a family and living a life is for the young couple to accompany each other until they are old, even if her aunt looks good, but it may not be what Chang'an likes. If possible, she prefers Chang'an to pick one personally. But this is very unrealistic.
Not to mention that Chang'an is in the academy all day long, and rarely sees female dependents. It's these women who are now the right people, it's not that the door doesn't go out of the door, you just can't see it if you want to.
It is impossible to expect Chang'an to solve his marriage by herself, so she should worry about it, try to ask the child's requirements and preferences in detail, and try to find it in the direction that he is happy about, so as to avoid the two becoming unjust couples in the future.
Jin Niang reasoned with the facts and talked to Chang'an a lot.
Changan...... He couldn't think of his biological mother at this time, and his attention was completely occupied by his aunt.
The aunt is really a bit of a mess, and someone there asks the child about such a detailed thing. My aunt is still so serious and takes this as a serious matter, but he doesn't respond but seems insincere.
But if you let him respond...... Chang'an's heart was so confused that he didn't know how to open his mouth.
If Xu Erlang was here, he would be satisfied when he saw Chang'an.
The purpose of letting Jin Niang come over has been achieved.
Jin Niang has no talent for other things, but she really has special skills when it comes to diverting children's attention.
I don't want this kind of skill, I am worried about the tired Jinniang: "......"
Chang'an finally succumbed to his aunt's fierce eyes, promised that he would not be able to give a detailed answer for a while, gave him a night to ponder, and the next morning he told his aunt what he had thought of.
Although Jin Niang didn't get a satisfactory answer, this promise is not bad.
She was barely satisfied, so she nodded, "Then you'll have to think about it." It's about your lifelong happiness, don't just talk about fooling me, think carefully and know clearly. ”
"I know, my nephew knows, I definitely think about it, and I will never fool my aunt."
"That's pretty much it."
Jin Niang left satisfied.
When she was resting at night, she waited for Xu Erlang to see no one for a long time, and she was going to let someone go to see what the adults were doing in the study, but she saw Xu Erlang come in.
"Why is it so late today? Haven't you been in office yet, what are you busy with? ”
"Look at some files from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. These were transferred from the Ministry of Officials and Households this afternoon, and His Majesty has given me permission to borrow them, and I will return them in a few days. ”
Xu Erlang said again, "It's not as simple as just reading the file, I'm still waiting for Chang'an to come over and explain to me." As a result, that kid may have been stumped by your business, and he hasn't gone until now. ”
Jin Niang was not angry when she heard this, what does it mean to be stumped by her business, why is this so unpleasant.
Is that her business, that is obviously Chang'an's own life event.
She poked Xu Erlang once, poked again, and complained to him, "You can't speak." Is it important for me to find a daughter-in-law for Chang'an, or is it important for Chang'an. This is obviously Chang'an's business, why do you buckle my head. ”
"Yes, I was wrong, I was wrong, and I should be punished." He said, "Just punish me for serving my lady to bathe today." ”
Jin Niang looked at his fiery eyes, and suddenly his mouth was dry.
I want you to take a bath, don't you see that my hair is almost dry? I've already washed it and don't want to wash it a second time.
However, sometimes her opinion is not very important.
Jin Niang, who was forced to wash for the second time, was lazy, spread out on the bed and said a few words to Xu Erlang, and then fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, the house began to pack up the salute to the south, and Jin Niang also waited in the flower hall to Chang'an, who had been thinking all night.
Chang'an said, "Auntie, I want to find a girl with a stronger personality." ”
Jin Niang: ......
Jin Niang was frightened, how could her little Chang'an be so heavy-mouthed.
Chang'an's face was hot, but he had to bite the bullet and continue, "Even if she is a little spicy, she is not afraid, as long as she is virtuous and kind, she can protect her younger siblings below." ”
When Jin Niang heard this, there was something she didn't understand. Where is Chang'an picking a daughter-in-law, obviously picking the wife of the Xu family.
Strong and capable, spicy and refreshing, but also virtuous and kind, and supports his younger siblings.
Such a girl is good, but she is too capable, but she will inevitably be talked about by those defenders nowadays.
Jin Niang didn't care about this, she only cared, Chang'an only stood in the perspective of protecting the next generation of the Xu Mansion, to consider what kind of eldest granddaughter-in-law the Xu Mansion needed - Xu Erlang didn't know how many more years he would have to be released, and San Lang would not be able to return to Beijing within ten years. In such a situation, the character of the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Xu Mansion is very important.
If you are just kind and gentle, you may not be able to hold up the lintel, and you may not be able to protect your family from being bullied.
But such a pungent eldest granddaughter-in-law is suitable for today's Xu Mansion, but it may not be what Chang'an likes.
Jin Niang was distressed, her heart was sour and soft, and she really wanted to hold the child in her arms to comfort him. It doesn't matter how Xu Mansion is, there is Xu Erlang on the left and right, and no matter how it is, it will not fall to the point where everyone can step on it.
But his family, the woman who can accompany him for the rest of his life in the future, is not so good. Otherwise, it really became an unjust couple, and then both of them were injured.
Jin Niang said everything she could say, and Chang'an smiled slowly, "Auntie, choose a spicy, cool, capable and kind daughter-in-law, not only for the sake of the Xu Mansion, but also for the younger brothers and sisters." Chang'an released a big thunder coldly, "Auntie, I received news from my biological mother." ”
Jin Niang was stunned and didn't speak for a while.
After a while, she remedied herself and said, "Ah, your biological mother, Wu, Wu?" She, she's ...... now"
Under Chang'an's clear sight, Jin Niang couldn't make it up, so she could only be silent.
Chang'an said, "According to the second uncle and aunt's concern for our brothers and sisters, it is impossible not to check over the years...... She. After thinking about it, I still can't call the title "mother", and Chang'an can only use the word "she" instead.
"The reason why the second uncle and aunt have not mentioned it to us is that I am afraid that there is something wrong, or something unspeakable. I didn't go out of my way to check on her, in fact, if I hadn't glanced at her at my uncle's wedding ceremony and thought she was a little familiar, I would have almost forgotten about that person. ”
Chang'an was still smiling, the smile was warm and gentle, but she saw Jinniang's tears rolling down directly.
Chang'an was a little flustered, and hurriedly took out the handkerchief in his hand to wipe his aunt's tears. But in the end, she just handed it to Jinniang, "Auntie, don't be afraid, I don't recognize her." ”
Jin Niang was angry, "Who is worried about this...... You were raised by me, and you are not as good as raising grace, do you dare to admit her and try it? It's not that I won't let you admit it, it's just that she is selfish, and she can share wealth and prosperity, but she can't suffer together. Her character is flawed, you, you ......" Chang'an still smiled, and Jin Niang stopped saying that Wu's was wrong. After all, she is Chang'an's biological mother, so she should give Chang'an a face.
Chang'an said, "He is my biological mother after all, no matter how many things he is, he gave our brothers and sisters a few lives." Auntie, Chen Xinghai is not a good match, and I am afraid that I will not be able to support her for the rest of her life. She...... is a ruthless one, and he will definitely ask for our brothers and sisters in the future. This thing...... I don't want to get my hands dirty...... Auntie, do you understand? ”
Jin Niang nodded, she understood, she understood.
She knew from Xu Erlang last night that Chen Xinghai was inappropriate, and Chang'an was afraid that she also got a glimpse of it from the injured official. If Chen Xinghai does not die well, should the Wu family deal with himself?
Just from the fact that she was able to remarry within 100 days of her husband's death, it can be seen that this is not a good stubble. If you are ruthless, you can do anything. At that time, she will live, and even live decently, she may not ask a few people in Chang'an to support her.
If it's just support, if she is picked up, what if she wants to go back to Xu's mansion to be her eldest lady?
Xu Erlang and San Lang may not be able to be in the capital at that time, who will come forward to deal with the Wu family's trouble?
The best candidate is, of course, the bride...... 's mother's family, as well as the clansmen of the Xu family.
Needless to say, the Xu clansmen would definitely not agree to that unreasonable request. But they are humble and contemptuous, and the Wu family may not take them seriously.
but the bride's...... Mother's family, the bride is a junior, and it is not good to talk to the Wu family, otherwise it will be a big unfilial piety. But what if the daughter-in-law of Chang'an is a girl from a powerful family?
With the help of the bride's mother's family, and the clansmen turning around, things won't get big. Even if it is big, it will not reach the point where it can't end.
Jin Niang said, "That's wronged you." Your second uncle and I only said that I want you to choose a girl with the appearance and character you like, but not a girl you want to marry. If you are like this, your second uncle should be sad when he turns back. ”
Chang An blushed, "Auntie, such a spicy and refreshing girl, I don't like it." Of course, if she likes to laugh and have a dimple, I will be even happier. ”
Jin Niang: "......" I didn't expect you to be such a Chang'an.
However, the child finally said his mate selection criteria, which made Jinniang very pleased, so she geared up to do a big job.
Before Chang'an left, he was still a little stunned.
In fact, he also wants to learn from his little uncle and marry a wife when he becomes famous. But the situation is clearly inappropriate.
The third uncle has already gone south, and the second uncle is about to go south, and the little aunt ...... Also to the south.
If the family is not reliable, then he can only grow himself into a big tree, strive to absorb more nutrients and grow, and make himself the support of the people in the house.
