Chapter 386: Qualifications

Mrs. Song Si smiled a little more proudly and said, "Yes! Before the wedding date was set, the samurai family sent me a letter first, wanting me to come over and help their family. I thought that I had never been to the capital in my life, so I came here cheekily. After she finished speaking, she also picked a piece of melon from the plate at hand and forked it into her mouth, "This melon is so delicious." Sweeter than ours. ”

Yu Tang said a few words to her perfunctorily, and left Mrs. Song Si at home for dinner.

Mrs. Song Si was not polite and happily agreed.

Yu Tang had no choice but to ask the second wife to accompany him.

As soon as Mrs. Song saw the second wife, she happily took her hand and asked with concern, "I heard that the fifth lady is going to marry the Qin family?" What do you think? Is the dowry ready? Has the date of marriage been set? Is there anything I can do that can help? He sighed again, "I really didn't expect that when Lord Qin was the political envoy of Zhejiang, I told the eldest lady in private that the eldest son of Qin is first-class in terms of character and knowledge, and Mrs. Qin is also generous and gentle, and I don't know whose daughter has such a blessing and marries into the Qin family to be a young grandmother." Unexpectedly, it was Miss Fifth who married the Qin family. What a good choice you have for this son-in-law! ”

This is the second wife's favorite words.

She immediately talked to Mrs. Song Si about Pei Dan's marriage.

Miss Song Qi quietly walked to Yu Tang's side, and said to her with a soft smile: "Third wife, I haven't seen you again since I said goodbye to Zhaoming Temple." Are you okay? ”

She looked shy, like a frightened little beast, and she was endearing.

Presumably she is clear about her purpose for coming to the capital, and what kind of husband she can marry is not based on talent and ability, but on whether it is beneficial to the Song family, she is panicking in her heart!

Yu Tang sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Miss Song Qi. She smiled softly, "It's been a long time since I've seen each other!" Miss Six is okay? ”

The original young ladies and Miss Wu's marriage has been decided. Peng Jiuye's son is the same age as Miss Wu no matter what, Gu Xi has already left the cabinet, Pei Tong is barely a golden beetle son-in-law in the eyes of many people, and now she has moved out to set up her own business, if she manages it well, she may not have a good future.

Miss Song Qi's expression was slightly gloomy, and she said: "The sixth sister is also out of the cabinet, she married far away to Shuzhong, the family is in the medicinal materials business, our family's pharmacy in Suzhou, something happened a few days ago, and the sixth brother-in-law's family helped a lot." ”

In other words, Miss Song Liu also married because of the interests of the family.

Yu Tang could only comfort her: "That's good." Anyway, they have done business together, so they know some roots. ”

Miss Song Qi smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Because of the matter of the medicinal herb shop, our family and the sixth brother-in-law's family are actually quite unpleasant. The sixth sister married into their family, which can be regarded as compensation for the family - the family no longer does business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and instead does business with people in Jiangxi and Lianghu. “

Could it be that the Song family is sorry for other people's families?

Yu Tang didn't want to ask too much for a while, but it was Miss Song Qi, if she felt something, it seemed that a lot of words were suppressed in her heart and finally had a chance to talk, and she continued in a low voice regardless of it: "The sixth brother-in-law married a daughter-in-law before and gave birth to three sons and a daughter, the sixth sister is unwilling to marry, but the family said that the sixth sister has a bad temper, and it is better to marry like this......"

When she said this, her eyes moistened, and she looked straight at Yu Tang, as if this matter had something to do with Yu Tang.

Yu Tang was stunned and wanted to ask her what she meant, but she was suddenly grabbed by the second wife's arm, and the second wife's laughing voice came from her ear: "The main thing is that our side is quite far from the Jiang family." The eldest prince and they have just moved out, and there are still some things left in the yard here that have not been cleaned up. If there is no such thing as separation, we will send someone to talk to him. Now that the sect is divided, we will go and tell them again, I know, I think we want to make a yard for you, I don't know, I think we are looking for an excuse to hurry them all up. What a dilemma! ”

"Look at what you say!" Mrs. Song Si said with a smile, with no mustard in her expression, "We are guests of the martial family, and the martial family is well-known for its arrogance among the Jiangnan families, we will definitely take advantage of their family!" ”

Only then did Yu Tang understand that it turned out that Mrs. Song Si euphemistically expressed to the second wife that she wanted to live in Pei's house during her stay in Beijing, but was rejected by the second wife, who was also tactful.

She felt that the second wife had done too right.

Listening to Pei Yan's tone, the Pei family and the Song family will turn their faces sooner or later, since this is the case, there is no need to get too close, otherwise it will not be helpful when the time comes, and it will not be possible not to help.

The second wife didn't know these things, she refused Mrs. Song Si, purely because she felt that Mrs. Song Si was eating the bowl and looking at the pot.

Seeing off Mrs. Song Si and Miss Song Qi, she said to Yu Tang: "When you talk about the martial arts, your eyebrows are dancing, then it's better to go to the martial family, don't say a word about taking advantage of our family, what's the matter!" ”

Yu Tang stretched out his thumb to her and said, "It's still the second sister-in-law who thinks thoughtfully, I didn't expect them to fight this idea." However, if it were me, I wouldn't like them living in our house. ”

The second lady nodded repeatedly.

After Yu Tang broke up with her at the fork in the road, he did not go back to the house where he lived, but went to Pei Yan's study.

He was discussing with Shu Qing about the salt introduction.

The grain harvest in the grange over there in Jiangxi should be good this year, and they are ready to work with the Yin family to transport grain to Jiubian to exchange for salt.

Originally, this plan was good, but it was a pity that Pei Xuan was the waiter of the household department, no matter what aspect it was, the Pei family should avoid Pei Xuan's yamen as an official, and the Pei family's salt introduction business was not easy to operate.

Shu Qing suggested that they pull the grain back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang directly to sell.

In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, grain prices have always been relatively high.

But it certainly didn't make much money in the salt business.

Pei Yan hesitated, but when he saw Yu Tang, he stopped the topic and decided to talk to Shu Qing about it tomorrow.

Shu Qing smiled and said hello to Yu Tang and left.

Yu Tang began to nod to Shu Qing reservedly, and as soon as Shu Qing's figure left the study, she immediately ran to Pei Yan's side, grabbed Pei Yan's sleeve, and said eagerly: "Yaoguang, let me tell you something, Miss Wu is going to marry the Peng family, and the two of them cover this matter tightly, if it weren't for Mrs. Song Si coming to the house as a guest today, I wouldn't know." Do you know about this? ”

Pei Yan was obviously also surprised, and frowned: "I knew that the Wu family was looking for their in-laws, but I didn't expect the Peng family to agree. Mrs. Song Si has already arrived in the capital, so this matter should have been planned for a long time. ”

Yu Tang's heart suddenly lifted and said, "Didn't you hear the wind before?" ”

Pei Yan said: "I heard before that the Wu family intends to marry the Li family, but the Li family has no school-age children. ”

So I chose the Peng family.

Yu Tang hesitated: "That's not right! It should be someone else's family choosing a samurai, not a samurai family choosing someone else's family, right? ”

Why did the Peng family agree to marry a girl from the martial family?

Yu Tang guessed: "Is it the rich dowry of the martial family." ”

Pei Yan looked at her scared little appearance, and her heart was playful, and she couldn't help but scratch Yutang's nose, and said, "It's not exactly a matter of marriage." Most of the time, there is still some cooperation. ”

Yu Tang had something in his heart, and he didn't care about making trouble with Pei Yan, so he said anxiously: "The marriage of the two families must have some cooperation, I am afraid that it will have any impact on our family." Lord Jiang and you are at odds, and now the Wu family is married to the Peng family again. ”

She still remembers that they used "Songxi Fishing Hidden Map" to intercept the Peng family's financial road.

Pei Yan didn't care, and said with a smile: "Isn't this better!" Like now, we obviously have a gap with the Peng family, and it is still quite annoying to pretend to be intimate. ”

That's right.

Yu Tang reminded Pei Yan: "Be careful! I always have bad feelings. ”

"Don't worry!" Pei Yan smiled and hugged Yu Tang, "I have a family and a room now, I don't dare to mess around." What else would you do? ”

Yu Tang's face was hot, his heart was sweet, he felt that saying anything would ruin the atmosphere, and his mood was agitated, as if he didn't know where to use the strength of his whole body.

She hugged Pei Yan's waist hard......

Within two days, the marriage of Peng and Wu spread in the capital.

When Yu Tang went to the Yin family to attend the 100-day banquet of Xu Xuan's eldest son, many people pulled her to ask: "Is it the girl from the martial arts family who married into the Jiang family?" ”

"Yes!" Yu Tang smiled and agreed.

Most of the people who knew it looked disapplieving, and some of them said quite contemptuously: "It's not easy to marry a daughter and marry into their family." ”

It can be seen that the samurai did not get any good reputation from it.

Xu Xuan, who was forced to rest at home by many aunts and grandmothers of the Yin family, talked about this matter to Yu Tang in private: "I heard that Miss Wu married 100,000 taels of silver this time. Peng Jiuye is a player, and he is often overstretched, and only he will agree to this family business. ”

Isn't it because the Peng family has Peng Yu, a rising star in his career?

Xu Xuan sneered: "The Peng family probably would rather marry Miss Sun than marry Miss Wu, it's too obvious, and it's easy to fall into the mouth." ”

Yu Tang didn't know what was going on, so naturally he didn't want to comment at will, so he changed the topic and talked about Mrs. Song Si: "Have you posted to her?" ”

Xu Xuan didn't remember, so she called the lady in charge to come and ask, and then said to Yu Tang: "The invitation between you, Miss Zhang, and Adan was written by me personally, and the others want to ask." He wondered, "What are you asking for?" ”

Since the Song family intends to marry Miss Song Qi to someone who is helpful to the Song family, they will definitely find a way to come in on such an occasion.

Yu Tang asked casually.

She felt that she, as the woman in the inner house, failed to find out about the marriage of the Wu and Peng families, which was a bit dereliction of duty.

She also paid more attention to the movements of the Song family.

"I just didn't see her, just ask." Yu Tang was embarrassed to tell Xu Xuan about his dereliction of duty, and responded to her vaguely.

Fortunately, Xu Xuan didn't ask much.

After a while, the grandmother in charge came over and said worriedly: "The grandmother didn't explain it before, so we didn't give them a post." Later, he defended himself, "Although the Song family is a Jiangnan family, the highest is only a fourth grade, and the Song family's house in the capital has also been sold, and Mrs. Song Si now lives in the Wu family, and we didn't send a post to the Wu family." ”

The implication is that the Song family is not qualified to participate in the 100-day banquet of their eldest young master.
