Aunt Du went to the eldest lady early in the morning to wait, patiently waited for Chen's to finish drinking bird's nest porridge, rinsed her mouth, knelt down in front of Chen, and sobbed: "Mrs., please save the second lady for the sake of the slave and maid who has been waiting for you for more than 20 years." ”

Chen didn't make a tone this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, slowly reddening his eyes.

"Aunt Du, I thought about this all night last night, and I didn't come up with a good way. Xinyu has been raised by me since she was a child, and she is no different from her own child. Now, if you want to marry a wasted person, although it is Shangshufu and your wife, it is not easy to stay up with such a person for the rest of your life. ”

Aunt Du nodded frequently with tears in her eyes.

"We are all women, and we all know the sufferings in between. It's just that this family business is a matchmaker made by the marquis of the capital himself, what kind of idea the old lady has, it's hard to say! ”

Aunt Du grabbed Chen's hand and said bitterly: "Madam, the slave begs you to speak for the second lady in front of the old lady, not for the rich, just for the one who can live in her own right." ”

Chen shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

"To tell you the truth, it's the eldest master, and the second master doesn't dare to talk to the old lady. Over the years, you have also seen, who else have I managed in this house, except for one acre and three points of land in my own yard? No one can go past the old lady, she is the one who is really in charge. ”

Aunt Du chuckled in her heart, grabbed Chen's hand and felt that she was three points stronger.

Chen's hands hurt, and he knew that he couldn't care about it at this time, so he only persuaded: "The old lady was like that back then, and I can't help her." Aunt Du, who is standing behind the old lady? Think about it. Will the old lady rebel against the head of the Hou Mansion for the sake of the second lady? That's her own brother. Besides, the glory and wealth of the Jiang family all point to the Hou Mansion! ”

Aunt Du was sad and said sadly: "Madam, this is a lifetime thing, decades, second miss she...... She...... How do you survive? ”

Chen's eyes rolled and said: "If you don't go to ask the eldest master anymore, after all, it is your own child, and you can't ...... it."

Aunt Du sat on the ground with a hint of despair in her eyes. She has been with the eldest man for more than ten years, what kind of temperament is her own man, how can she not know? I'm afraid it's useless.

Chen couldn't bear it, so he had to say kind words to persuade him. Halfway through speaking, Jiang Hongjian walked in, and when he saw that the two women in the room were looking at him with red eyes, a wave of anger rose in his heart, he flicked his sleeves and turned around, and went to Guiyun Hall.

……

Before returning to Yuntang, Jiang Hongsheng had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw his eldest brother, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Jiang Hongjian said bluntly: "Second brother, I don't know what my mother thinks about Xinyu. ”

Jiang Hongjian has a problem, but there is one thing that is good: he is sincere to his three children and is worthy of being a father.

At first, when he heard that Shangshu Mansion was courting, he thought that there was green smoke on the ancestral grave, and after inquiring carefully, he realized that this was the case. After thinking about it again, Jiang Hongjian did not do the dirty thing of selling his daughter for glory, but still focused on his daughter's life.

After the two brothers whispered, they entered Guiyun Hall.

The old lady expected that her two sons would come, and told Mama Qian to guard outside the door.

The brothers knelt straight in front of the old lady.

The old lady's eyes flashed, and she lamented, "I know why you are here, but the two brothers are in the same heart." Get up, let's talk to the three of us. ”

When the brothers saw the old lady and Yan Yue, they were overjoyed, and secretly said that there was still room for turnover in this matter.

The old lady narrowed her eyes, taking in the looks of the brothers, she slowly plucked a few Buddha beads, and suddenly said: "Let me ask you first, if one day, I close my eyes and stretch my legs, how do I live in this house?" ”

The eldest lord and the second lord glanced at each other, lowered their eyelids and did not speak.

"If you don't say it, I'll tell you. Your father has been living until death in this life, and all he has in his heart are those two sluts, how could he have planned for our mother and son? If it weren't for my hard work in this mansion, your Jiang family would have fallen eight hundred years earlier. One day I went, with the eldest lord you taking care of those shops, and with the second lord you being a five-grade petty official, this house will be able to prosper? ”

The brothers did not dare to refute, and together they showed silence.

"The Jiang family has always been thin, and your father's generation is only two brothers. In your generation, I will only have you two brothers. On the third generation, Yuan Qing is twenty years old this year, and he can't write anything, he can't do martial arts, and he is still messing around with the eldest master. Yuan Hang is fourteen years old and follows the second master to study, whether it is that piece of material, the second master knows better than anyone else. Yuan Chen is still young, see for yourself, is there anyone in the Jiang Mansion who can afford the family business? ”

The brothers were pinched in their shortcomings, and their hearts were empty, and their momentum was a little shorter.

The old lady saw the difference, and then asked: "Sir, you are almost forty years old, your father handed over the family business to you when he left, you say, if I leave, can you afford this family?" ”

Jiang Hongjian bowed his head in shame and did not speak.

"Second master, your father died, and you guarded Ding Wei for three years. Have you ever thought about where you will go after three years? It is said that people will be cold when they go to tea, not to mention that you are a small five-pin, that is, the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, and come back after three years, I am afraid that it will be yesterday's yellow flower. ”

The old lady took a deep breath and her face was like frost.

"A turnip, a pit. Do you know how many eyes you have staring at the pit of the Yangzhou prefect? How many people want to pull out your radish and fill in the hole? Do you know why you sit still? ”

Jiang Hongsheng didn't know that the reason why he was able to get this fat difference was mostly because of the momentum of the Marquis of Annan. It's just that...... There was a trace of waves in Jiang Hongsheng's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

The old lady's eyes rolled: "After three years, if you want to take two steps up and grab other people's pits, it is not to see whether you have the ability, but to see whether the people behind you have the ability." I think that's the end of your brother's life, only you can support the Jiang Mansion. If you are good, everyone is good, if you are not good, the Jiang Mansion can only follow you down. ”

The old lady's tone became heavier: "Don't worry if you are down, the brother and sister in this house will follow you down." ”

Jiang Hongsheng said with a relative: "Mother, my son is ashamed!" ”

The old lady sneered: "So I have to leave a way back for the Jiang Mansion." Do you think that Sun Jinghui really can't find a woman? Hum! With the door of Shangshufu, some people want to ascend to the sky in one step. That's because their grandson doesn't want to compromise their grandson, and they want to find a daughter from a good family. ”

The brothers couldn't help but glance at each other.

From this point of view alone, the Sun family will not give up Sun Jinghui. You've all heard about it, this Sun Jinghui looks and learns first-class, if he doesn't have that disease, how can he be able to look at the second miss? is the princess, and the county lord is also worthy.

At this time, let's marry the second girl. The Sun family owes Hou Ye a favor, Hou Ye is your own uncle, and he will definitely return this favor to Jiang Fu, and in the end it will be you who will benefit. ”

Jiang Hongjian said in a panic: "Old lady, in case the Sun family ...... to the second girl"

"Fart! It is impossible for the Sun family to have wronged the second girl, and they have worked hard to marry her, but it is too late to provide for it, how can they be wronged. Tell me, what reason do I have to push off this family business and do that stupid thing that not only offends the Sun family, but also slaps the face of the Hou Mansion. ”

The old lady picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put the teacup on the table heavily.

"Besides, in this world, there are a few women who don't keep their widows, and your mother and I are widows who have been widows all my life, and I have survived the same life. When I'm old, I still have to plan for the two of you, my life is bitter......"

When the old lady talked about her sadness, her tears couldn't stop falling.

The eldest master, the second master was busy kowtowing and begging for guilt.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, the old lady cried: "It's all the meat that fell from my body, who can I give up?" This is fate, you can't earn it, you can only accept it. But if you are more successful, you will not be able to go this far. You don't have to kneel to me, just don't hate me in your heart. I am a person with loess to my neck, I just hate to accompany your father as soon as possible, but I can't close my eyes, and I have to worry about you unfilial sons and grandchildren, and I can't end up well! ”

The two brothers were said in one sentence, one hugged the old lady and cried bitterly on one leg.

The mother and son shed tears for a while, and the old lady slowly calmed down and said to the two sons: "Okay, this is a great joy, what are you crying about?" You two, do a good job for Xinyu, the dowry is only a lot more than the big girl, give more silver to her, and it is not in vain that I raised her. ”

The two brothers nodded tearfully in response, and discussed the preparations for the marriage before leaving.

In this battle, the eldest master and the second master were defeated before they could make a move, so they had to go back to their rooms in disgrace.

……

On the second day, the Jiang Mansion was in an uproar.

Everyone knew that the old lady should go down to this family business, and only waited for the two families to exchange Geng stickers and choose an auspicious day. There are those who are envious and jealous, and there are those who are sad and regretful, and there are different opinions.

After Jiang Xinyu learned the fate of her marriage somewhere, she locked herself in her room without eating or drinking. Only put the Chen family, Aunt Du was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

After listening to Chen's reply, the old lady sneered and said, "You, who is a mother-in-law, are so persuasive." The child is raised in front of you, and she marries well, which is also a help to your big house. ”

The old lady's meaningful words made Chen's heart chuckle a few times, and he didn't dare to say more.

Two days later, Jiang Xinyu walked out of the boudoir with an indifferent face, and calmly said to her mother-in-law, who wanted to stop talking: "Since ancient times, marriage has been a major event, at the behest of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker, where can I tolerate my daughter to make irresponsible remarks?" Everything is decided by the old lady and the wife. After speaking, he said a blessing and left the room expressionlessly.

Because of the old lady's order, Chen vaguely informed Xinyu of the old lady's decision, thinking that even if the second lady did not stage the scene of crying, making trouble and hanging herself, she would have to lose her temper more or less and smash some utensils to stop, so she was fully prepared, and even replaced the furnishings in the room with worthless objects.

Unexpectedly, the second lady locked herself up for two days and accepted it quietly, which was really unexpected by Chen. Chen sat down in his chair and didn't recover for a long time. After some sighing, Chen shed a few tears, and a few valuable pieces of jewelry were counted as comfort.

Shen Ying persuaded on the side: "Madam, the second lady is a reasonable person, she will definitely understand your hardships, over the years, how you have treated her, everyone has eyes to watch, Mrs. and relax." ”

Chen was a little relieved, took his daughter-in-law's hand, and babbled about his own hardships.

For a while, the people in the mansion who were ready to watch the show were disappointed, and the Jiang Mansion was as calm as ever for a few days. The old lady, the eldest master, and the second master have rewarded things, and the treatment of the second lady is long, the boat, and the degree of food and clothing are all the best.

The biological mother, Aunt Du, couldn't bear it because the eldest man couldn't bear it, so she rested in her house for a few days in a row. is as arrogant as Aunt Zhou and others, and now when she sees Aunt Du, she has to come forward and say goodbye.

No one is a nerd, the future daughter-in-law of Shangshufu, even if the old lady sees it, she has to be polite, how can they be provoked by these individuals?
