Chapter 106: Yu Sun Negotiations
"It's just a concubine. You don't like it, then she enters the door, finds a mistake and sends her to the Zhuangzi. Why let the people in our hometown chew the root of our tongue? When the time comes, Mrs. Wugu will go back and say that we are bullying people, what face do we have to see people? Your father-in-law is the most face-saving person, and he will never let people criticize his virtue. Old Madam Sun persuaded bitterly.
The third lady wiped away her tears again: "But Wen'er hasn't married a wife yet, and there is such a concubine in the house." Is there any good family who is willing to marry their daughter to our family? ”
She wanted her son to marry an official lady, but she didn't even dare to give her a maid in the house, for fear that those people would dislike her son. This will have a concubine before marrying a wife, who wants to marry her family?
Thinking of this, she complained in her heart that Mrs. Sun had died. Others take concubines, ask people to take a look and visit, and if they feel good, they will lift a small sedan chair to the house. The old lady and the eldest lady were troubled, and they wanted to see the conduct of the girls with their own eyes, so they took advantage of that bit of kinship to take the fifth aunt and mother and daughter over to live.
It's just a concubine, and it's not a wife, so you need to be so cautious?
Now it's okay, but the eldest young master's concubine came to her son's house.
Mrs. Wugu is unrelenting, and she still wants her daughter to marry Sun Xuewen as his wife!
Old Lady Sun's official position is the foundation of the Sun family. Even if the second old man Sun Chengyuan was admitted to the Jinshi and became an official, he would have to stay up for more than ten years before he could become the pillar of the Sun family. Now, I have to rely on Mrs. Sun to shelter this family from the wind and rain. Therefore, his reputation cannot be damaged in the slightest.
The third lady, even if she is a woman from a merchant house, understands this very well.
Although she was unwilling, she also knew that the matter had come to this point, and it would not work without paying a price. Who called her son so stupid to save that scheming bad woman?
She stopped her tears and said to Mrs. Sun: "It's okay to let her be a concubine, but you have to wait for Wen'er to marry her wife for half a year before she can enter the door." That's my bottom line. If Mrs. Wugu doesn't agree, she still wants her daughter to be a wife, so she asks her to choose another good son-in-law for her daughter. ”
She was afraid that Mrs. Sun would compromise with Mrs. Fifth Aunt for the sake of Mrs. Sun, and said, "Mother, don't be afraid of her making trouble." She can send her daughter to be a concubine for the eldest young master, she is a person who wants to cling to your power. As long as we take a tough attitude and threaten to ask people to find her husband and brother if she wants to make trouble again, she will never dare to make trouble. This kind of person, the more you give her face, the more she has to make inches; As soon as you are tough, she will be cowardly. ”
Old Madam Sun looked at her deeply.
This concubine's daughter-in-law used to be always taciturn, giving people the impression of being very gentle, courteous, virtuous and virtuous. Now it seems that he is also a powerful person.
"Okay, let's do it. I'll tell her. Old Madam Sun said.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reached an agreement, and Mrs. Sun asked Mrs. Sun to call Mrs. Wugu in and tell her about the decision.
"Old lady, third lady, although our family is poorer, we are also a serious family, and my daughter is also literate and hyphenated, worthy of the third young master. Now that the two children are destined, you can fulfill them and let them be a proper couple. Sister Rong is a filial child, and she will definitely serve you two well. The fifth aunt said, "I know that you two want to marry an official lady for the third young master, but the official lady has a high status, and her temper is great." Come to think of it, the old lady and the eldest lady haven't enjoyed much of the blessing of the grandmother, right? ”
She turned to the third lady: "Third lady, I may not be happy to hear what I say, but it is also for your own good. Think about it, if the third young master really marries a young lady from an official family, can you afford your mother-in-law's money in front of her? At the end of the day, do you still have to look at your daughter-in-law's face to live? ”
The third lady's face was ugly, her lips moved, and she wanted to refute Mrs. Wugu's words, but she couldn't say a word.
She remembered that after the eldest grandmother Ke Shi entered the door, she did not have much respect for the eldest lady. The eldest lady was jealous of her mother-in-law, and she did not dare to take out her mother-in-law's money to set rules for her; Thinking about the situation of marrying the daughter-in-law of an official family, my heart is uncomfortable.
Seeing that the third lady seemed to be shaken, the fifth aunt was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "We Yue'er will definitely be filial to you when we enter the door, she will do whatever you tell her to do, and she will never dare to disobey you." ”
The third lady came back to her senses and looked at the fifth aunt coldly: "Even if I want to marry my son to a low-ranking person, it will definitely not be your daughter." In fact, I don't want your daughter to enter the door as a concubine. She didn't want to be the concubine of the eldest young master, but wanted to be my son's wife, so she resorted to such a means. This kind of scheming and ambitious woman, I'm afraid that she will be unsatisfactory after entering the door and poison me in the bowl. Besides, the third young master took away the concubine of the eldest young master, is this reputation good? Spread out, what face does our family have? At the last sentence, she glanced at the old lady.
Sure enough, the old lady's eyebrows furrowed, obviously she hadn't thought of this.
The fifth aunt and wife didn't let go of what they said, and knew that if they continued to be entangled like this, the only way to stiffen the relationship was to stiffen the relationship. At that time, even if Yu Yue marries Sun Xuewen and becomes a concubine, the Yu family still can't get help from the Sun family, so it's better to take a step back and slowly figure it out.
"Okay, then be a concubine." She gritted her teeth and agreed, "However, it must be to enter the door now." ”
"Nope." The third lady flatly refused.
"If that doesn't work, forget it." Mrs. Wugu sank her face, stood up after speaking, and raised her feet to leave.
She had already said the threat, and she didn't want to say it again and again at this time. She knows that this negotiation depends on who can calm down and be open-minded. Her family is poor and poor, and she is not a wealthy family, so she doesn't care about her reputation if she can send her daughter as a concubine. The Sun family is different, it is necessary to take into account the official reputation of the old lady Sun, and also take into account the reputation of the back house, otherwise it will be difficult for the children of the Sun family to marry a good family. Barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, but the big deal is that she will take her daughter home and choose a small door to marry.
"Mrs. Fifth Aunt, please stay." Old Madam Sun hurriedly stopped her.
The corners of Mrs. Wugu's mouth hooked, revealing a triumphant smile, stopped, turned around, and looked at Mrs. Sun: "What else does the old lady command?" ”
Mrs. Sun said: "My family Wen'er went to the pond to save people, which is also a good deed. Sister-in-law and uncle help, and the matter is urgent. Even if you take this to the clan, there is nothing to be ashamed of in our family. Therefore, I advise you to accept it when you see it, my three daughters-in-law can agree to your family to enter the door as a concubine, and it is already a bodhisattva's heart. If you don't know what to do, don't blame me for not thinking about kinship. Moreover, Wen'er studied hard, and in the future, she had to rely on fame to gain a future, and she could only get a boost by marrying a high-ranking daughter-in-law. How can we ruin his future because of this calculation of your family? Otherwise, you will take a good look at your daughter, and then carry her into the door after Wen'er marries her wife; or take fifty taels of silver and leave. The choice is yours. If you choose the latter and take the money, you must not talk nonsense, or I will not spare it. ”
When the fifth aunt saw the tough attitude of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she knew that there was no room for maneuver, and she couldn't help complaining very much about her daughter. The eldest grandmother lost power, and the big house had no son; She is also favored by the old lady and the eldest lady, and when she marries in and gives birth to a son and a half daughter, isn't she more decent than the big grandmother who has fallen out of favor? But she fancied to be the third grandmother of the Sun family, but she was beaten by chickens and eggs, not to mention that her status was lower than that of the eldest concubine, and she also lost the favor of the old lady and her mother-in-law.
