Chapter 37: Talking about the Matchmaker
Several women and young ladies at the table looked at Wei Shu with some fear.
originally thought that this Miss Wei should be the type of weak and can't help the wind, and she was divorced again, so she should be crying and crying.
didn't expect her to be so aggressive, so some people who couldn't hold back and wanted to come over and ridicule her for a couple of sentences dispelled this idea.
Squinting at Mu Xueqing's back, Wei Shu sneered in his heart.
Her words just now are intriguing, what Mu Xueqing said was not to ask Wei Shu to wait for Mu Xueqing, but to let the Wei family wait for the Mu family.
This is tantamount to admitting in disguise that all this is the ghost behind the Mu family?
"Brother Mu, what are you looking at, is there a girl in this garden today?"
Not far from the garden there is an attic from which one can see the whole garden, but those below cannot see it.
Mu Yusheng leaned on it in front of the railing, holding a pot of wine in his hand and drinking quietly, but his eyes were staring intently at a place in the garden.
And it was Mrs. Qian's grandson who spoke, Qian Tong.
Mu Yusheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his gaze still didn't move half a minute, "Young Master Ben has never seen such a sharp woman in his life, it's really interesting." ”
"O... I want to see what kind of woman can attract Brother Mu's attention! ”
Qian Tong was a little puzzled, and also stepped forward and looked down at his gaze, but unfortunately he didn't have the deep internal strength of Mu Yusheng, so he couldn't hear what was being said below.
But the girl in the blue dress really looks very good!
At the banquet, with the entry of Mrs. Qian, the ladies all stepped forward to toast the old lady and say some beautiful flattering words, and the Shen family was no exception.
Although Mrs. Qian is also old, she is still in high spirits, and she stood up from the seat and said,
"Today, it is rare for you to come to our Qian family's banquet, my wife is old, and most of the grandchildren and granddaughters under her knees have gone to the capital.
In short, it was just some scenes, and everyone present knew that the reason why this banquet was held was because the old lady was addicted to pulling the matchmaker.
Wei Shu was not interested in what Mrs. Qian said, but was attracted by the conversation between the two women at the other table behind him.
"I said, Mrs. Song, your daughter is also fourteen years old, and she is about to be married, and if she doesn't book someone in advance, she will become an old girl."
At this time, a girl with a voice like a yellow warbler in the valley spoke, "What, you will become an old girl at the age of fourteen, then Mrs. Qian, what have you become when you are in your thirties?" ”
"Yizhen, don't talk nonsense!"
The girl's mother scolded softly, and she had to keep her mouth shut.
And the third lady of Qian originally had a trace of ugliness on her face because of the girl's words, but she regained her calm in an instant, and continued, "I think that your Song family was also a first-class family in Qingcheng back then, if it weren't for the fact that the seven sons died on the battlefield back then, the family business would not be like this.
But this is also the righteousness of your Song family, and now that Miss Yizhen has grown up, this marriage can be considered, and it is best to find someone who can support your mother's family, after all, Mrs. Song, you still have a seven-year-old son. ”
Regarding what Mrs. Lian San said, Mrs. Song nodded in agreement, it is best to find a rich and powerful family, so that even if her daughter marries in the future, she can still support her young brother.
Hearing this, Wei Shu frowned slightly, although she hated that kind of patriarchal family, and she hated parents who exploited the value of their daughters to raise their sons.
But Fang Cai also roughly heard from their conversation that the Song family was also a big family in Qingcheng in the early years, and there should have been seven brothers, but later the men in the family died on the battlefield, and there was no pillar, which led to the fall of the family.
Now that she has a young brother, an orphan and a widow, it would be understandable if the eldest sister found a good family to take care of her.
At this time, Mrs. Dong, who was opposite her, whispered to another lady.
"You said that the old lady of the Song family was not the richest man in a good way, so he had to send his son to the battlefield with his own hands, but he didn't have a life back, and after the old lady passed away, he left his only daughter-in-law, Mrs. Song, and a pair of children to start living by selling his property, and now the Song family has not found a suitable in-law."
"No, in the past two years, many people have come to the door, but Mrs. Song, who is from a low family, naturally can't look down on it, and their family with a high family can't afford a dowry, and people from high families also have to look at each other's family background, but they don't end up high."
Listening to what they said, Wei Shu rubbed his eyebrows, and stuffed another piece of pastry into his mouth, he couldn't help but admire the righteousness of the old lady of the Song family back then, and began to be a little interested in this Miss Song.
I could hear Mrs. Qian San behind her say to Mrs. Song, "In this way, Mrs. Song, I have a good family now, I don't know if you are willing to marry your daughter." ”
Mrs. Song's tone was slightly surprised, "That... What kind of people are they? ”
Third Mrs. Qian covered her lips and smiled, "It's the eldest young master of the Mu family." ”
"The eldest young master of the Mu family? ... This... This..."
Mrs. Song's tone was obviously a little excited.
The Mu family's status in Qingcheng has been on the rise since they hugged the Hua family's thighs, so when they saw Mrs. Song's reaction, they thought she was surprised.
Then I heard Mrs. Song speak a little obscurely, "But, how did I hear that the eldest young master of the Mu family accidentally kicked the donkey in his head when he went to patrol Zhuangzi a year ago, and now he hasn't woken up yet?" ”
Mrs. Qian's eyes rolled around and hurriedly said, "Hey, what's the matter, I heard last month that it seems that his eyes will roll now, maybe Miss Song will be fine in a few years." ”
I said, Mrs. Lian, although our Song family is lonely now, you won't humiliate my daughter like this, right?
Seeing that Mrs. Song's face sank quickly, Mrs. Qian hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, Mrs. Song, you really misunderstood me, think about it, if your young lady marries, this money and things will definitely not be worried, and the eldest young master of the Song family will definitely not be able to accept a concubine.
In this way, after Miss Song gets married, she can help her mother's family, and she doesn't have to be jealous with her concubine. ”
"No, after all, my husband is a living dead, what vinegar is delicious!" Song Yizhen on the side said sarcastically.
But the look on Mrs. Song's face can make people see that she has already considered this matter in her heart, after all, the Song family is rich.
The daughter who married out is the water that is spilled, she has to plan for her son's future, if she can have a capable brother-in-law to support her, maybe there will be a chance to revive the glory of the Song family in the future.
Seeing that Mrs. Song was already weighing, Mrs. Lian said again, "If you are not satisfied with this young master of the Mu family, I still have a family." ”
Mrs. Song moved her lips, "What kind of family?" ”
