The eldest aunt was born with a stern face, but today she can be very amiable: "It is precisely because the second sister is inconvenient to go out, the third sister, the fourth sister, and the fifth sister are willing to stay at home with her. ”

Chungui heard Aunt Xue slap her face again: "It's still these girls in my cousin's house, they really deserve the upbringing of a famous scholarly family, just like my mother-in-law said, this is worth sincerely asking to marry." After speaking, he sighed inexplicably.

The third aunt asked, "Why are you so upset?" ”

"It's my mother-in-law, who was kind enough to handle a marriage for the clan, but who knew that it was not as good as the people wanted, and there was a little dispute, if there was an idle situation." Aunt Xue sighed again as she spoke.

No matter what the background of the woman and the daughter, in fact, most of them are most interested in the short chatter of these parents, and at this time, they all smiled slightly and listened to what kind of conversation Aunt Xue would contribute, and the second uncle and grandmother were also half leaning on the rose chair with a smile on their faces, and just quietly patted the back of Chungui's hand, so that she was on guard against another round of attacks.

"It's an aunt in my family, my son has just entered school, because he is the only seedling in the family, the aunt thinks that he doesn't have to wait for him to get fame before talking about marriage, although fame is important, the reception of the sect can not be delayed, it was the aunt and my mother-in-law mentioned it, please ask my mother-in-law to worry about her. It just so happened that my mother-in-law had an old friend, married to a scholarly family, and had a little niece daughter who was young and gentle, and the most knowledgeable and gentle and virtuous, and my mother-in-law was busy talking to the aunt, and she was enthusiastic about trying to match this matter. ”

The third aunt asked again: "Could it be that your aunt is still dissatisfied?" ”

"Aunt clan saw people, at first also satisfied, my mother-in-law and old friends formally discussed this matter, how do I know that there is another person as a matchmaker, aunt clan looked at the girl, actually regretted it, said that the girl looks outstanding, the family population is also simple, although it is a child failure, but the father was also in the house when he was alive, and he is also a scholarly family of the official gentry. As a result, my mother-in-law inquired, only to know that the woman was just a concubine, there were no brothers and sisters, and after the death of her parents, she relied on the clansmen to support her. ”

Aunt Xue turned her face to her eldest aunt and said, "Cousin, what do you say about my aunt?" It is true that the woman's background is not as good as that of my mother-in-law's old friend's family, but the advantage is that her appearance is more outstanding, is this ridiculous? ”

The eldest aunt naturally answered: "Marrying a woman and seeking talent, your aunt really shouldn't focus on appearance." ”

The officials and relatives here are all shrewd people, how can they not hear who Aunt Xue said is insinuating this gossip, and they all understand the meaning of the eldest aunt, and they are clearly dissatisfied with the nephew and daughter-in-law who only have good looks, although it is not particularly important that the uncle and aunt are not satisfied, but they are so humiliated in public, and the female guests are also observing how the low-born lady of the new branch champion responds, after all, although you have to pay attention to the advantages and avoid the disadvantages in the social field, but sometimes outside the identity, Whether you have the ability to dance with long sleeves also plays a role.

But seeing that Chungui was still smiling, there was no trace of shame and anger in his expression, and he didn't know whether he didn't mind or didn't understand the meaning of others' words at all, and the eyes of the officials were flickering one after another.

Aunt Xue was still unwilling to be annoyed and angry when she saw Chungui like this, she was secretly anxious, she still wanted to marry her daughter into the Zhu family in the future, even if her cousin just promised to be a daughter-in-law to her concubine, but she was not concerned about the situation of her family at this time

It's a good marriage, but the premise of all this is that the cousin must be satisfied, but if even an orphan girl from a broken household can't be angry and laughing generously today, what else can she do to satisfy her cousin? So Aunt Xue was in a hurry, and she inevitably showed her malice.

"Brother Ting's daughter-in-law smiled silently, as if she didn't approve of the statement of marrying a woman to seek talent, or misunderstood what I meant, I didn't mean that a young and beautiful woman like you must have no other strengths."

Chun Gui was waiting to let the opponent mess up, and then he showed a little surprise: "Auntie, is this going around the bend to praise my beauty?" Oh, it's all because the niece and daughter-in-law are stupid and didn't hear the kindness of the aunt. "A joking blessing of thanks.

The second old lady smiled more and more, and her old man really seemed to be coming to see the excitement.

Aunt Xue waved an iron fist over but slammed it again, her mood was even more anxious, her smile was a little unbearable, and she only floated on her face so-so: "I just want to ask Brother Ting's daughter-in-law, do you agree with my aunt's idea, or is it the same as us, listen to everyone's rules and etiquette." After saying this, even he felt a little restrained, and couldn't help but add another snake: "After all, in the future, you will one day be the sect wife of Xuan Zhutang, and you should always have a benchmark judgment for this kind of affairs." ”

"This is my aunt's family matter, and my nephew and daughter-in-law don't dare to say much." Chungui said softly.

At this moment, even the aunts and aunts couldn't hold back and collectively collapsed.

People who always talk about what virtuous and virtuous, dogmatic rules and rules, but forget one of the internal trainings is the right and wrong, the long and short of the dispute, never ugly, not to be heard of outside, idle is idle, do not enter my door.

Do other people's affairs need to be judged by you? The eldest aunt herself has violated the dogma, and as for Aunt Xue, she has long been discredited by publicizing family affairs as a "virtuous".

The scene was a flickering of eyes one after another, and the female guests instantly realized that the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Taishi Mansion was quite difficult to mess with, and more or less put away their contempt, at this moment, they heard a burst of footsteps, it turned out to be Shu Niangzi's small gang finally arrived, they were obviously well-known in the official circle, and as soon as they appeared, they aroused a more warm welcome from the people present, but Shu Niangzi still said hello to the second old lady, and did not need to say too much to the second old lady, and said first: "How does the mother know that we are looking for Xiao Gu?" He also specially sent a servant to inform him. ”

The eldest aunt is the real one in my heart this time.

You must know that although Shu's family is also a high marriage, but even the Empress Dowager Shengde has praised her talent in public, and now she is famous in the social circle of the official family and noblewomen in the capital, and the eldest aunt is also ashamed of herself.

"I heard Brother Ting'er talk about it a long time ago, and praised you for taking good care of his daughter-in-law, saying that she was the daughter of an old man, so you treat it as your own junior, but it happened that I saw her here, and I saw you wandering over there, and I thought I would simply call over and sit together, where do I know that you are really looking for her, and I don't know witchcraft, can I still peep into people's minds?" The second old lady smiled.

There is a more layer of meaning in these words, the officials and relatives here have their ears pricked up, how can they miss the champion Lang is clearly like a knee with the newlywed wife, so that even the distance between the female relatives can be clear, and the second old lady specially revealed this matter, how the attitude is clear at a glance, with the Taishi Mansion and Shu Niangzi behind, even if Gu Niangzi is from a poor background, it will not hinder her future scenery, who makes the family marry well and has a wide popularity?

Besides, looking at this performance today, he is not untenable

Needless to say, if you have deep friendships or not, at least the harmony on the surface must be maintained first, and there is no need to alienate and squeeze out Gu Niang for the sake of the attitude of the Zhu family's daughters.

There was a young daughter-in-law in her early twenties, who also smiled at this time: "If I don't listen to this, I didn't remember that Shu Niangzi's ancestral home is also in Fenyang, and it turns out that Gu Niangzi's family is still old friends." ”

Shu Niangzi looked at this and said, "Exactly." I entered Beijing early, and at that time, Wei Niangzi was afraid that she was not yet the age of Xiao Gu at this time, but she also remembered that I was from Fenyang? ”

It turns out that this Wei Niangzi is the cousin of the former Gongshun Hou Mrs. Wei, although she often met with Shu Niangzi at large and small banquets in the past, she has never had a single conversation, but she also admires Shu Niangzi very much, and it is inevitable that she will be a little flattered at this time: "I heard my sister mention that at the banquet in the Hou Mansion in the early years, because Shu Niangzi was a distinguished guest, my sister specially invited a cook from Fenyang to prepare a sauce plum meat lotus leaf cake, because the chef was still wasted some twists and turns, I was curious and asked, I heard that Shu Niangzi's ancestral home turned out to be Fenyang. ”

"Your sister is a warm-hearted person." Shu Niangzi's smile deepened: "Speaking of which, your sister and I haven't seen each other for a long time, is she okay now?" ”

Everyone here knows that the original Mrs. Gongshun Hou has now become a civilian woman because her husband's family has been deprived of her title, and she is no longer qualified to set foot in the social circle of the capital, how can she talk about it well? Immediately, there was another flicker of gaze.

Wei Niangzi responded with a smile: "Fortunately, I am blessed with the grace of God and forgive my brother-in-law's sins, and my sister is at ease, and everything is fine now." And deliberately said to Chungui: "A few days ago, I went to visit my sister, and I heard that because of Gu Niangzi's kindness, I specially allowed Qingping to visit the old master, and my sister heard Qingping say that she is now in the Taishi Mansion and has won the care of Gu Niangzi, and I am very glad that Qingping can meet Gu Niangzi, the generous master." ”

"Qingping is loyal and diligent, and she can help very well, so it is still good to train my sister." Spring return is polite.

Shu Niangzi said: "In this way, Xiao Gu and Mrs. Wei are also fateful, and after you have been busy for a while, why don't we make an appointment to visit Mrs. Wei together?" ”

Everyone here was obedient and obedient, and everyone knew that Shu Niangzi saw Xiao Wei's intention to befriend Gu Niangzi's friendly attitude, so she showed her closeness, and her eyes flickered one after another, where is this just the attitude towards the daughter of the deceased, and it is nothing more than supporting her own daughter!

There was no one in the pavilion who was willing to look at the eldest aunt and Aunt Xue more.

At this time, Shu Niangzi asked the second old lady again: "When I came here just now, I listened to the laughter here from afar, I don't know what interesting things I am talking about?" ”

The second old lady replied with a smile: "It's just a short chatter in the parents." ”

Shu Niangzi is not ordinary people, she has never been curious about this kind of chatter, what she is puzzled about is nothing more than that the second old lady specially sent someone to invite, and pointed out that Chun Gui is here, as if she has encountered something bad and needs her to help, but when she came over, she didn't see any of the people present who threatened Chun Gui Shu Niangzi listened to Chun Gui personally say that Lan Ting was very good to her, how could she think that Lan Ting's aunt and uncle could have bad intentions? If it weren't for the enemies who were as deep as the sea, they would not have caused trouble in the lord's family on an occasion like today.

So Shu Niangzi is still guessing along the way, isn't it the wife of Zheng Huitang who is complaining about her son-in-law, looking for today to embarrass Chungui?

But there were no female dependents of the Jingjiang Mansion at the scene, so Shu Niangzi was a little unsure of the intentions of the second old lady.

I heard the second old lady say: "Then there is Aunt Xue's wife who is enthusiastic and wants to advise Brother Ting's daughter-in-law." ”
