Chapter 372: Marriage
After listening to this, Du Tanzhi had to bring out a look of embarrassment on his face, and Mrs. Du saw it in her eyes, and said: "Don't blame me for being troublesome, I rely on you now, if you don't think about everything, who can you help think?" Your daughter-in-law's mother's family is a husband, and she naturally understands the truth better than me in the countryside, even if she doesn't want me to teach, she also knows how to be a wife, and the most important thing is to pass on the lineage, and you see that I have been with her for so long, and she doesn't dare to squeak, so she knows that what I said is no longer right. ”
Mrs. Du said a word, knowing it with affection, moving with reason, everything can be suppressed, and when she finished speaking, she took the piece of clothing next to her, put it on top of her hands, shrugged it up in front of her grandson, and said: "In addition to yourself, you also help your uncle think about it, if there was no him in the past, the head of the family did not say that he was offering to study, that is, eating, and there may not be rice in the pot all year round, and now that you have a chance, you can't bear to see him in the ground, and there is no one to worship, so you can only be the lonely ghost and wild ghost?" Our Du family, there are no such ungrateful children! ”
He also said: "It doesn't matter if he is an 'emperor teacher' or an 'emperor gan', he must always be reasonable?" Your uncle did things in the past that were only better than your father, and if you have a little conscience, you should think of him! ”
Du Tanzhi was blocked by his grandmother one after another, and he couldn't even reply, and because he knew that the old man's health had been bad for many years, he was going to be sick and bedridden at every turn, but he was afraid that if he said something wrong, he would make her feel distressed, and after thinking about it for a few breaths, he weighed it and said: "Grandmother, it's always early now, and the situation at home is different from before, it's already worry-free about food and clothing, raising a child may not be so difficult to live, and when Mu He is better, where can't you have a few more?" ”
He paused, and said: "Besides, there is one thing, you should also know - father-in-law's box, there has never been a concubine in the family, when I married Mu He, I have already said with his family, in the future, the family will never accept concubines, and now I will regret it, don't say that I want to climb up in the future, I am afraid that among colleagues, if you see it, you will point out jokes, and if you don't have faith, you won't stand, how can the husband break his word?" Nor can it be done for the sake of fame. ”
Mrs. Du raised an index finger of her right hand, pointed at her grandson twice in the void of hatred, and said, "You kid, you are stupid at reading!" ”
Again: "Where did I say that you should take a concubine?" You only accept a few rooms, help give birth to children, wait for the children, and let go of your daughter-in-law's name, generally her sons and daughters, all of them have to call her mother, and they don't have to give birth to themselves, she will bring them with her own family in life, as long as they bring it well, which child is not good or bad, and will come from everyone who knows how filial piety to her, how cheap is this? If you are afraid that you will have an outside heart, ask your daughter-in-law to pick it for you herself, whether she wants to bring it herself, or buy a few from outside, as long as people pass her eyes, your father-in-law is afraid that there is no second word. ”
Du Tanzhi heard that his skull hurt.
Mrs. Du said again: "I don't embarrass you, if you go and say this, it's hard to say whether your daughter-in-law will be annoyed with you, I'll say, let her hate only me, I'm an old woman, I just don't have more than a few years to live, as long as you can get good, I'm not afraid to bear this infamy." ”
As he spoke, he stood up, hunched his back and went to the door to look around, and saw that only one or two servants were guarding outside, so he closed the door himself, walked back to the table, and said to his grandson in a low voice: "Do you remember the girl from Li Yuan's family?" ”
Mrs. Du was born in the countryside, grew up in the countryside, and there are a few big money in the county, she will call her "outsider", that is, Du Tanzhi has become an official, and her habit of calling it has still not been changed.
Du Tanzhi is a pusher in Kyoto Prefecture, all year round, I don't know how many old lady Du said "Li Yuanwai" to come up to stammer, in recent years, he has been busy with errands, and he has long forgotten the previous "appointment with the son-in-law in front of the list", and now when he hears it at first glance, he has no reaction.
Mrs. Du has raised him for decades, and when she saw him like this, she didn't know that she didn't remember it at all, so she had to remind: "It was Li Yuanwai, who used to say that he wanted to marry our family, and the family in the capital originally said that as long as you get a jinshi, you will marry your daughter." ”
If Du Tanzhi just felt a little strange, he immediately reacted at this time and said strangely: "What does it have to do with their family?" ”
Mrs. Du told the girl of the Li family that the marriage was not harmonious, and now she has divorced.
“…… A while ago, someone in her family came to look for her, and promised a dowry of 70,000 yuan, and set up a courtyard near Tianbo Gate in the outer city of the capital, as well as fifty hectares of land in Huaxian County......" Mrs. Du said as she said, her hands holding her son's clothes trembled a little, and her eyes were a little red, but this time she was not sad, but excited, "San Lang, I have already inquired, and the land promised by her family is all high-quality water!" ”
However, after hearing Mrs. Du's words, Du Tanzhi's eyebrows furrowed, and said, "Grandmother, the Li family has so many dowries, have you ever thought that there are other plans in it?" ”
Mrs. Du didn't think so, but said: "Who in the world doesn't have other plans?" If you don't have this Jinshi in your body, and you don't have this official body, can your father-in-law take a fancy to you, and your daughter-in-law can marry you? ”
He also said: "Just relying on your little money in the court, even if you are old, you may not be able to have a house in the capital, at this time, the benefits of the world falling, there is a point of money when you sit, and you have a daughter-in-law for nothing, where is the bad?" ”
When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.
In her opinion, marrying a daughter-in-law is not a bribe, nor is it a corruption bend the law, even if she knows what the Li family estimates is for the purpose, but if it becomes a family, it is not too much, if you can help, you can help, and if you can't help, you will pretend to be stupid.
Besides, he is an official on his side, and a businessman on that side, if he really makes trouble, how can any businessman fight against an official!
Besides, whether it is the granddaughter-in-law or the youngest daughter of the Li family who wants to get married, they are all second marriages, this first time they get married, it's really bad, and they can still be bold and make a fuss, and wait for the second time, if they want to go back to their parents' house, it will not be so easy!
"I won't force you, you go back and think about it carefully, it's not our wishful thinking, the Li family itself agreed to marry their daughter to your uncle's room, wouldn't it be more hexagonal than if you gave birth to another child and hugged it?"
He also babbled on and on about half-day marriage, house, field, dowry, etc.
