26. Marriage
"Not really!" Li agreed, "I have the heart to tell Sister Ru to the third young master of the Zhang family, although he is a concubine, but it is better than the second room, I inquired, he is nineteen this year, because he is bent on gaining fame, he has not yet decided to marry, and Sister Ru is a good match!" I was afraid that the Zhang family would dislike my sister's background, so I didn't dare to mention it! ”
I've already inquired, and it seems that the Li family is very excited! "Mother, don't worry, since Third Young Master Zhang is going to take the imperial examination, he won't be married for a while, just take your time! The fourth sister is all good, but what if she has a poor background? The people who are really rare Fourth Sister will not care about her background! ”
"Silly boy!" Li shook his head and said, "Even if someone really doesn't care about your fourth sister's low background, his parents may not care, if the sister has to serve by her mother-in-law's side in the future, if your mother-in-law doesn't like it, what good life can she have?" ”
"Then find a ...... without a mother-in-law," Xu Shu said coquettishly.
"The more you talk about it, the more stupid it becomes!" Li smiled, thinking about it, this is not a bad idea!
"Madam, old lady, please go to Songde Hall!" Mingxia led Suyu in.
Seeing Su Yu's uncomfortable face, Li guessed that it was the Song family, so he nodded and got up to leave.
Xu Shu took Li's hand, "Mother, I have something to tell you!" ”
After retiring everyone, Xu Shu spoke, "It's the second master and wife of the Song family who came today, right?" They must have come to discuss the marriage contract of the two families! Sixth Young Master Song is a concubine, our Xu family naturally can't marry a concubine in the past, now the Xu family has a daughter of the right age in our big house and three rooms, and the Song family also knows about the abduction of the eighth sister, naturally it will not be the eighth sister, then only the seventh sister and the tenth sister will remain! ”
When Li heard Xu Shu seriously say that Xu Ting might marry into the Song family, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister Shu, what are you talking about?" ”
"Mother, listen to me!" Xu Shu continued with a resolute face, "Because one of the seventh sister and the tenth sister is always going to marry into the Song family, so I didn't intercede when my mother asked Grandma Sun to teach the tenth sister the rules, the tenth sister is reckless, and the second lady of Song is not a good person, her temperament will definitely suffer if she marries in the past, and now we are ruthless to teach it ourselves, it is better than being taught by others at that time!" ”
Li Shi was silent, she did have the idea of marrying Xu Wan when the Song family mentioned the marriage, but because Xu Wan and Song Wencai were a little older in age, they had been hesitant.
Xu Shu said, "It is obvious that the Xu and Song families want to marry, if the Song family does not propose to marry, I may not have this idea, but now that the Song family has taken the initiative to mention it, does my mother still want to give it to others?" ”
The Li family naturally didn't want to, when Song Hong proposed to make a marriage contract for the Xu and Song families, the Li family thought about it, the Song family is now only the sixth young master of Song, and the Xu family has several young girls of the right age, but after leaving aside the few concubines, only Xu Yuan and Xu Yuan will come out, but Xu Yuan was taken captive by the Song family to know, and they will definitely not accept Xu Yuan, then only Xu Yuan is left, but Xu Yuan is only eleven years old, but Song Wencai is already fifteen, and the age difference is too big.
"My eyes...... Obviously, my marriage to the Rongguo Mansion is not going to work......"
"Sister Shu!" Lee shouted.
"Mother, my daughter finally mustered up the courage to say it, you can let your daughter finish!" Xu Shu looked serious, "The family affair with the Rongguo Mansion was personally given by the first emperor, and it is absolutely impossible to regret the marriage, but I can't marry into the Rongguo Mansion like this, in the early years, the third aunt said cool things openly and secretly, squeezing my mother, but she selfishly wanted the eighth sister to marry into the Qi family for me." Now that the third aunt can't replace me, she owes Changfang a favor, so naturally it is not good to fight for the family business of Rongguo Mansion anymore, and she has no face to fight for the Song family. One family, one Song family, just with the seventh sister and the tenth sister! ”
Li was stunned after hearing this, because Xu Shu's words hit the deepest thoughts in her heart, but she never dared to tell anyone about this idea, even Xu Hui only mentioned it once, but Xu Hui didn't say anything, so she didn't mention it again.
"Qi Family...... That was originally a family ......affair for you," Li said with difficulty, "Even if you can't marry the fourth young master, even the eldest young master can do it......" Although Qi Peng has a leg disease and may not be able to inherit the title of Duke Rongguo, Qi Peng broke his leg to save the car, and with the royal grace, he can also be rich and noble all his life.
"But will the Qi family want me like this? Blind with lame? He's just lame, and I'm not worthy of a blind man! Xu Shu tore off the cloth belt that covered her eyes, a pair of apricot eyes were like pearls covered with dust, and her dark eyes were covered with a layer of gray-blue smoke, because she couldn't see, her pupils were a little divergent.
Li was very beautiful when she was young, but among her four daughters, only Xu Jing and Xu Shu looked like her, especially Xu Shu, but Xu Shu covered her eyes with a cloth tape since she broke her eyes, so that others forgot her appearance.
Li Shi cried and wiped away Xu Shu's tears a little bit, and tied the cloth belt for her again, "Child, I really can't bear to let you stay in the Xu family for the rest of your life, your seventh brother is still young, but your mother is already in her forties, how long can I protect you?" I always have to watch you settle for the rest of your life before I can feel at ease! ”
"That's why I can't marry into the Qi family!" Since Xu Ting wants to marry into the Qi family, then she will fulfill her! "I got a good family affair for the seventh sister and the tenth sister, and they will take care of me a little bit in the future when they read this friendship!"
As expected, An was also there when Li came, and when Li came in, An snorted angrily, and Li ignored it.
"Everyone is together, let's get down to business!" Xu Guan opened his mouth and said, "Today's Changzhi is here for the marriage contract that our two families agreed not long ago!" ”
At the mention of the word marriage contract, An immediately concentrated, and watched Song Hong speak.
"Yes! I came today to select people, I don't know which daughter Xu Gong wants to choose for my son's literary talent? After speaking, Song Hong looked at Xu Guan.
Xu Guan looked at An's family, and then at the eldest son's husband and wife, and then said, "I want the eldest son to have two daughters under his knees......"
An Shi was anxious when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to refute, Xu Guan's eyes swept away, An Shi could only shut up unwillingly, Xu Guan was not as good as Wang, An dared to be presumptuous in front of Wang, but he was still afraid of Xu Guan.
Xu Hui's two daughters, that does not include Xu Shu, nor Xu Yuan, Song Hong made up his mind, although he swore that no matter who testified to Song Wencai's innocence, he would marry Song Wencai, but if he really asked him to marry a daughter-in-law with a bad reputation, he was still unwilling, "In this case, I don't know if Brother Xu is willing to marry Ling Yan to a dog?" ”
The Song family is a good family, Xu Hui will not be unwilling, but the woman has to be reserved, "Song Gongzi is a young talent, and the little girl is vulgar, I am afraid that she is not worthy of Ling Gongzi!" ”
"My sister Yuan is worthy of it!" An, who was in a hurry, couldn't help but scream when he saw that Xu Hui was still taking Qiao.
