Chapter 49 Make your own decisions
Aunt Shen is planning to ask Shen Yan to marry into the Hao Mansion, so that even if Hao Ling becomes a relative, the heroine of the Hao Mansion will still be her, and Shen Yan will never dare to compete with her aunt. It's just that it's useless for her to exhaust her thoughts, after all, this family is not up to her.
It's just that now Master Hao doesn't help her, and even persuades her to give up.
Hearing Master Hao's words of evasion, Aunt Shen suddenly lost the strength to knock on her back, so she sat on the couch with her legs pressed down, sullen and not saying a word.
Master Hao turned around and saw Aunt Shen sitting there sullenly, looking unhappy, and he knew that it must be because of what he just said.
Master Hao hurriedly stepped forward to grab Aunt Shen's body, and coaxed him in a good voice: "I know your thoughts, Yan'er is indeed a good girl, but Ling'er doesn't agree to this family matter, and I can't force him as a father, right?" If you want me to see, even if you don't marry into Haofu, Yan'er can find a good in-law, why should you delay her? ”
Aunt Shen glanced at Master Hao and sighed, "Master, Yan'er is my niece, how could I deliberately delay her?" It's just that I thought, Yan'er has a soft temperament, what if she marries into someone else's family and is bullied? However, the eldest young master has a very good temper, if he can marry Yan'er, presumably this little couple must be Qin Se and Ming, respecting each other like guests. ”
Master Hao nodded again and again, smiling in response to Aunt Shen's words.
"Master, the marriage event is the order of the parents, is the words of the matchmaker, is it possible that the marriage of the eldest young master is really up to him?" Aunt Shen asked tentatively.
Although the old man had already told her that Hao Ling's marriage had to be completed with his own nod, but from common sense, this really doesn't make sense. How can children decide their own family affairs? Isn't that almost like a private life?
Master Hao still smiled good-naturedly: "I know that you are thinking about Ling'er, but his mother begged me for this before she died, and since I have already promised her, it is not good to regret it now, right?" Businessmen have to be honest, not to mention that Ling Er was also present at that time. ”
"The master is wrong in what he said," Aunt Shen was happy as if she had grasped something, "The eldest young master is your own son, how can he be treated like a businessman?" I don't know what Mrs. thought before she died, but if you let others know that the marriage of the eldest young master is a private agreement with others for life, then where will the face of Haofu be placed in the future? ”
Master Hao was silent, thinking for a while, as if he heard Aunt Shen's words in his heart.
It's just that Aunt Shen hasn't been happy for a while, so she heard Master Hao say: "That's not what I mean, I think Madame's meaning should be to hope that Ling Er's future daughter-in-law will get his heart." I said that since you are now in charge of the inner house, Ling'er's marriage has to be done by you, why don't you find some girls of the right age to pick and choose for Ling'er? I can't say that there is one of those who has his heart. In this way, not only did he obey his wife's will, but he did not let Ling Er make a private life with others, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
After Master Hao finished speaking, he still looked proud, looking at Aunt Shen smugly.
Aunt Shen was stunned by Master Hao's words, indeed, what he said was also one of the solutions, and even quietly pushed the responsibility onto her aunt. According to Master Hao, if Hao Ling can't find a satisfactory daughter-in-law, it means that her aunt has not worked hard.
This responsibility, even if it is true, how dare Aunt Shen take it on in a bright way?
She hurriedly straightened up, helped Master Hao beat his back with moderate strength, and defended herself aggrievedly: "What does Master mean, aren't you blaming me for not doing my best?" ”
Master Hao closed his eyes and enjoyed Aunt Shen's service, "How come?" I know that you are kind-hearted, all for the sake of Ling'er and Yan'er. It's just that the marriage of these children also has to pay attention to fate, they have fate in this life, and they can't force it, right? ”
What Master Hao said was the truth, and Aunt Shen couldn't think of anything to refute for a while, so she could only nod her head and say yes, but her mood became more and more dull.
In the afternoon, Master Hao had already gone to the shop to check the accounts, and Aunt Shen was still worried about Hao Ling's marriage in the courtyard, and the little maid outside came to report that Hao Yu was coming.
When Aunt Shen heard that her son was coming, she hurriedly left Hao Ling's affairs behind, and hurriedly asked the maids to serve tea and snacks to welcome the second young master of Hao Mansion.
"Mother, are you okay today?" As soon as Hao Yu entered the door, he greeted Aunt Shen with a smile on her face.
Aunt Shen saw her own son standing in front of her, how could she be uneasy? smiled and said, "Okay, why don't you study in the study today, and come to me?" ”
The Hao family has been in business for generations, but Master Hao is bent on looking forward to his family being an official, so while asking Hao Ling to learn business, he also requires Hao Yu to study hard and strive for fame.
For this, Aunt Shen has always been dissatisfied with Master Hao. In her opinion, this is Master Hao's eccentricity! This business is the foundation of the Hao family, because Hao Ling is a son-in-law, so he has the qualification to inherit the family business, Hao Yu is a concubine, so he can only listen to Master Hao's words and work hard to get a reputation back.
In fact, everyone can see that Hao Ling's temperament is biased towards Mu Ne, and he is the one who is suitable for studying and testing for fame; And Hao Yu is clever and smart, and he is smooth and sleek with people, which is a good material for doing business.
Aunt Shen looked at Hao Yu with a sigh, and after all, she still blamed herself in her heart, if it weren't for her identity as an aunt, the master would not be so partial, wronged her Yu'er.
Hao Yu sat on Aunt Shen's left hand side, and looked at Aunt Shen with a smile on her face, "I've been reading for a while, and this is just a good time to come out and take a break, so come to my mother's place to take a look at my mother." ”
Aunt Shen looked at Hao Yu warmly and said with emotion: "It's still my Yu'er who is intimate." ”
Hao Yu obviously heard the meaning of Aunt Shen's words, and asked, "But what is there in the house that worries my mother?" ”
Aunt Shen shook her head and sighed: "It's not your eldest brother's marriage, my lord is now complaining about me, saying that I didn't do my best enough." Alas...... Yan'er is such a good girl, with the eldest young master, I feel wronged. If it weren't for my status as a cousin, your uncle and aunt might not have agreed. ”
Where didn't Hao Yu understand what Aunt Shen meant? It's just that the aunt is also thinking about him and wants to earn more family property for him.
"Mother, I've heard about this too. In my opinion, this matter has to be discussed in the long run, and now the eldest brother and Yan'er are not young, but I am afraid that it will not be delayed any longer. Hao Yu said with a serious expression.
