27. Settled
As soon as An Shi spoke, the whole room was instantly quiet, Song Hong was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer, Li Shi was very unkind and didn't look over his head and laughed.
"My sister Yuan knows etiquette and etiquette, is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her appearance is also the most outstanding ...... among the sisters"
"Come on, send the third lady back, the third lady is sick, what if you let her out and talk nonsense, what if you hurt the child in her belly?" The more An said it, the more outrageous it became, and the Wang family could only drive people away with a tiger face.
An's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Wang in disbelief, "Mother, you can't be so partial, Sister Yuan is also your granddaughter!" Don't you like Sister Yuan the most? ”
An Shi struggled to be pulled out with the help of others, and muttered, "Mother, whether it is the Song family or the Qi family, you must always leave one for Sister Yuan......
An's left, Zhou's finally laughed heartily, she was reluctantly brought by Song Hong, at this time, seeing the Xu family's infighting, can you be unhappy! "The third lady is really a straightforward person, this family affair is not a thing, and it can still be kept! Whoever wants it will be given, and isn't the marriage contract an ornament? ”
Wang's cheeks were even redder when he was angry with An's, and Zhou smiled and glanced at Wang's before he said to Li, "I'm also a straightforward white person, so I'll tell you the truth, Miss Seven is a clever person, and she even wins my heart, I don't know if Mrs. is reluctant?" ”
Zhou bluntly said that he liked Xu Ting, and Li didn't want to mention Xu Ting anymore, so he didn't dare to speak easily for a while. Xu Hui agreed, "Second Mrs. Song likes Sister Ting, so you might as well decide on Sister Ting!" ”
Song Hong liked Xu Ting more, and all the people who instructed Zhou to mention Xu Ting, at this time, seeing that Xu Hui agreed, he was overjoyed to exchange tokens with the Xu family, and formally established the original oral marriage contract, and agreed to wait for Song Wencai to change the Geng post after high school to agree on the marriage date.
Out of the Xu family, the Zhou family disliked the Mandarin Duck Pei sent by the Xu family as a token and threw it to Song Hong, seeing that Song Hong was in a good mood, he couldn't help but say, "Are you satisfied now?" This Xu family is low, and the girl is not outstanding, what is there to be happy about! ”
Song Hong sighed, "What about being happy? What if you're unhappy? The marriage with the Xu family is imperative, if it is repented, how will the Song family gain a foothold in the capital in the future? It's better to settle down quickly, and pick the best among the remaining Xu family girls, if it drags on to the end, maybe only the concubine will be left, and the third lady Xu wants to marry Miss Xu Ba, and when the third master Xu comes back, it will be even more troublesome, and now it's good to put this matter over! ”
Although the Zhou family is unwilling to let his son marry an ordinary wife, what Song Hong said is also reasonable, Xu Ting is the best girl to be married in the Xu family now, it is better to settle her down first, anyway, now that the son is still young, who knows what will happen in the future. Besides, she has seen that Xu Ting, that girl is very arrogant, if she knew that her family affair was forced by the Song family to agree, she might not be willing! If she doesn't want to!
Xu Hui promised to give Xu Ting to Song Wencai, and the Li family was a little dissatisfied, "I originally planned to give Sister Ting to the Xu family, why did the master promise Sister Ting!" ”
Xu Hui didn't feel that he couldn't do well, "Sister Ting'er is the oldest, so naturally Sister Xu Ting'er!" Besides, Sister Ting'er's age is more compatible with Song Liugongzi! ”
Li said, "Sister Ting's concubine has other arrangements!" The concubine originally planned to give Sister Ting to the Qi family, and Sister Yu to the Song family! ”
Xu Hui glanced at the Li family with a dark look in his eyes, "Rongguo Mansion...... That's Sister Shu's marriage! ”
Li told Xu Hui what Xu Shu told her today, "If it weren't for Sister Shu'er to speak, I wouldn't have this idea." ”
Xu Hui was full of emotion after hearing this, "Sister Shu...... I'm sorry for her as a father...... If I hadn't agreed to let the Kong family enter the door at the beginning, Sister Shu wouldn't have that disaster......"
Kong was once Xu Hui's wife, but was abandoned by the Xu family after his death.
Ten years ago, Xu Hui was not confused, and there was still no son-in-law under his knees, and Li had just given birth to her fourth daughter not long ago, Wang was extremely disappointed and advocated marrying a flat wife to Xu Hui, although Xu Hui accepted a famous concubine a few years ago and gave birth to a son, but in the end, it was a concubine, this time Wang insisted on marrying a flat wife to Xu Hui, and finally forced him on a hunger strike, Xu Hui could not do it, so he could only compromise and marry the scholarly Kong family.
When Kong just entered the Xu family, he bowed his head everywhere and was respectful to Li, Li felt ashamed of Xu Hui because he couldn't give birth to a son, and he didn't feel sorry for Kong, but no one thought that Kong was a traitor inside, and she revealed her ambition after winning the favor of the Xu family.
Eight years ago, she and Li were pregnant almost at the same time, and the doctor said that both of them were pregnant with men, but the first few times they also said that Li was pregnant with a man, but Kong was the first time, and everyone was a little disapproving of Li and had high hopes for Kong.
Kong was selfish, afraid that what if Li's birth was born in front of her and he was also a boy? There is only one title for this eldest son! secretly moved his hands and feet to give birth ahead of schedule, but he gave birth to a girl, and the Li family, who gave birth a few days later, gave birth to the boy he was looking forward to.
Kong's heart was unwilling, and he actually had a bad heart and wanted to murder Xu Hua, Li is so old, he is afraid that it will be difficult to live in the future, and she is still young.
The full moon wine of the two children was held together, and before the banquet began, the two children were placed in the De'an Hall next to the Songde Hall, and the other children of the Xu family were also accompanied by them.
In the evening, De'an Hall suddenly caught fire, everyone only cared about themselves and fled, leaving the two babies in the inner room, Xu Shu ran halfway to find that her nurse was gone, and her brother and her brother's nurse were gone, so she gritted her teeth and went back to find it, but who knew that Kong Shi, who was supposed to accompany Wang's family in Songde Hall, was pinching Xu Hua's neck in the house, Xu Shu screamed loudly, alarming the murderer Kong, Kong hurriedly let go, turned around and ran.
Xu Shu was able to pick up Xu Hua on the kang, but found that the door was blocked by Kong Shi from the outside, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger.
Li Shi outside the fire learned that his daughter and young son were fainting on the spot inside, and after waking up, he was about to rush in to save people, but was stopped by Xu Hui, just when Li was desperate, Xu Shu walked out of the fire and handed her a Xu Hua who was completely uninjured.
Although Xu Hua was fine, Xu Shu was dying, and everyone thought that Xu Shu would not survive, but Xu Shu survived strongly. Xu Shu woke up and confirmed Kong's guilt, Kong was secretly executed, and then abandoned by the Xu family, and when Kong fled in a hurry, he forgot to take his daughter, who was burned alive in the fire.
Aunt Du was an accomplice in the fire, and she set the fire and was also executed, but she claimed that they were burned to death by the fire.
