Chapter 201: Choosing a Mother-in-law
Hum! The girl scared him back by saying a random number.,Obviously I don't like Sister Xing'er.,If you like it.,Then you must try your best to fight for it.。 Lianzi spoke, Jiang Qian also nodded beside her, and then the two suddenly looked at Jiang Xi pitifully.
Jiang Xi snorted and laughed, knowing what they wanted to ask.
"Don't worry, when you meet someone who really likes you, not only will I not accept his money, but I will also give you a good dowry, and you will marry smoothly in the future!"
"Girl!" Both of them turned red, turned their faces away, and looked like they didn't want to talk to Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi smiled lightly, she knew their thoughts very well.
After sending off Wang's son, Jiangxi could finally take a break. I fell into the water a few days ago, and then I came back before I had a good rest, and now my head is a little dizzy, and I just want to get a good night's sleep.
"You two go and rest, starting tomorrow, there are still many things waiting for us to do."
Jiang Qian and Lianzi looked at each other and smiled, blessed Jiang Xi, and withdrew from the backyard.
Jiang Qian didn't go directly to rest, but went to Qin Hao's study, and before going there, she deliberately went to the kitchen to get some food. And the lotus seed also ran to the pond outside the courtyard, where the tiger had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Although it is gradually autumn, the entire Jiang family is full of spring breath. Jiang Xi gradually fell asleep under this warm breath, and in her dream, a teenager was walking slowly towards her......
Regarding the matter of marrying Xing'er, it was not so easy to pass, and the mother-in-law of the Wang family came to make trouble for a long time, but unfortunately they were all blown out. She deliberately made trouble in the village, saying that the Jiang family wanted to be greedy for his family's money, but it caused a burst of laughter from the villagers.
"Greedy for your money? As your family looks like now, how much money can you have that is worth the Jiang family's greed for ink, if you don't come to the door to fight the autumn breeze, I think the Jiang family will already burn high incense.
People said it plainly that if you want to get rid of your slave status, you have to go to the official yamen to ask for help, and that is for money. How? Your family not only wants other people's people, but also wants people to pay for it, do you still want people to give you a dowry? ”
The mother-in-law of the Wang family stiffened her neck and said: "Which woman marries someone and doesn't give a dowry, their Jiang family is special!" ”
"Yes, people have to give a dowry when they get married, so you don't have to give a dowry when you marry a daughter-in-law."
"She's a girl, if our family marries her, it's because she burns high incense, and she still wants a dowry, so she can!"
Everyone shook their heads, feeling that they couldn't reason with her anymore, this kind of person would always only feel that they were right, and what others did was wrong, even if she killed people and set fires, it was wrong for others.
"Since you say so, I don't think a person like me is worthy of marrying into your family." Xing'er suddenly spoke, she carried a basket in her hand, came out to pick vegetables, and just heard these words, she went straight to Mrs. Wang.
"Hey! No, you wait......"
With the support of the people in the village, coupled with Xing'er's unhappiness, this family business was successfully strangled in the cradle.
At this moment, Jiang Xi was sitting in the room, looking at the two pieces of rice paper in his hand.
This thing was bought by her from the Li matchmaker in the town, and it was full of information about some marriageable teenagers, ranging from 17 to 22 years old, with a total of nearly twenty people.
In the end, Jiang Xi set his eyes on the three young people.
One is a poor child in the family, and he is going to take the Xiucai exam like Qin Hao this year, he is a child in middle school three years ago, and he has not taken the exam in the past two years, because the old father of the family has passed away, and he has been keeping filial piety. This year, the time is up, and I'm going to give it a go.
This candidate is from the neighboring village of the town, honest and filial, a talented young man, just turned 19 years old this year, has never married a wife, can be regarded as a good match.
From Mrs. Li, Jiangxi heard that many daughters in the town who are to be married are waiting for this candidate to show off their talents in the exam, so that the matchmaker can say goodbye. But if he fails the test, it is estimated that no one is willing to marry his daughter to him.
The second is the son of a carpenter in the town, 18 years old this year, because he is the eldest son in the family, he has taken on a lot since he was a child, and now he can be regarded as a responsible man. He did a very good job as a carpenter, and Jiang Xi couldn't help but admire it when he saw it. It's a pity that in this town, being a carpenter is hard and there is no money.
Therefore, most of the people in the town were reluctant to marry their daughters to him, and as for those in the village, the carpenter's son seemed to look down on them, so the marriage had been delayed.
As for the third, it is the son of the old shopkeeper of their newly opened silk shop, who is twenty years old this year, and has been learning crafts outside with his father all these years, and has never considered talking about marriage. If it weren't for Jiang Xi's intention to find a mother-in-law for Xing'er, the old shopkeeper almost forgot his son.
In short, these three people, in terms of appearance and conduct, Jiangxi is quite satisfied. Although the family conditions are not very good, only the old shopkeeper's house is slightly better, but if Xing'er climbs the high branches, Jiangxi is afraid that she will not have a good time at her in-law's house in the future.
"Zhi'er, go and call your sister Xing'er." Because of the reason why the two girls around him couldn't come back because of the Qixi Festival, Jiangxi deliberately let them be more idle these days, so that they could talk to their sweethearts, and there were two girls by their side, Chun'er and Zhi'er.
Of course, all this is also considered.
Now that Xing'er is about to get married, the Li family can't have a girl by her side, she plans to transfer Jiang Qian and Lianzi over to take care of the Li family, and bring the two little girls up on her side.
In the future, Jiang Qian and Lianzi will also get married, and these two little girls can also share one by the Li family.
When Zhi'er heard this, she ran to Li's house with a grin. Recently, Jiangxi gave Xing'er Zhang Luo's marriage, and there was a lot of uproar, of course, this is only in this family. Even little girls like Zhi'er and Chun'er know that Xing'er is going to meet her mother-in-law's family, and they are interested in everything at this age, and they are excited and envious.
As soon as Xing'er heard that Jiang Xi called her, her face immediately turned red. Li Shi took her hand from the side and said lovingly: "Go ahead, you have to pass this level, now you can still choose for yourself, when we used to be, it was what the elders said." ”
Li Shi sighed with emotion, so many years have passed. She still remembers that when she first married into the Jiang family, at that time, the old man and the old lady were still alive and well, and her husband Jiang Chengze did not do so many things, and he was still an honest and responsible scholar.
Time, it's really a very strange thing, it can turn a living person into a grain of dust in the loess mound, and it can also make a small life be born and grow, and finally become an existence that can protect the entire Jiang family. In the same way, it can make an honest person gradually change into a strange and terrible devil.
Thinking back to the first half of his life, Li sighed softly.
Xing'er is getting married, and she doesn't know when her Xi'er will get married, what kind of family she will marry, and how she will live after marriage.
Xing'er had tears in her eyes, she hadn't been in this house for a long time, but she could be regarded as having experienced the Jiang family's prosperity from weakness to now, from the prosperity of the family to the loneliness now. accompanied this family all the way, but unfortunately she will marry in the future and will not be able to continue to walk with her.
"Madame......"
"Go, it's not like I'm going to get married soon, I still have to meet and see my in-laws' family, and I have to set a date, and it takes a lot of time to get down like this."
"Hmm." Xing'er choked up, and finally followed Zhi'er towards Jiangxi's room.
Zhi'er was a little strange, tilted her head and asked, "Sister Xing'er, why are you crying, isn't it a fun thing to get married?" ”
Xing'er touched Zhi'er's head, this child is also a poor person, just like her, the family is all gone. Fortunately, they met such a master's family, otherwise they don't know how many sins they would have suffered.
"When you grow up, you'll understand."
After Xing'er came in, Jiangxi took the two little girls out, they were still too young, they only knew how to have fun, and it was not good to mix them on the side.
Taking the three-point information in his hand to Xing'er, Jiang Xi said: "These three people are selected by me, they are all at marriageable age, one is a scholar, one is a carpenter, and the other is the son of the old shopkeeper, you see, which one do you like more?" ”
Xing'er blushed and lowered her head, only glanced at it with her eyes, and quickly retracted it.
"Xing'er doesn't have any ideas, everything is up to the girl."
"Alas!" Jiang Xi spread his hands helplessly, "I can't be the master of this matter, this person has to be liked by yourself, otherwise even if I pick the best one, as long as you don't like it, can you be happy when you marry?" ”
Xing'er bit her lower lip for a long time before she finally said, "That...... That scholar, forget it. ”
Jiang Xi's eyes flashed a little surprised, she thought that Xing'er would pick that scholar, after all, there was some hope for following the scholar, in case she got a decree or something in the future, it would be considered a comfort. She couldn't have imagined that Xing'er would exclude the scholar as soon as she came.
Jiang Xi became interested and asked seriously: "You tell me carefully, why that scholar is forgotten." ”
Apricot struggled for a long time, and finally spoke.
"Girl, then Xing'er said it, if it's wrong, don't laugh at me. Although the scholar is good, literary and filial, this is both his advantage and his disadvantage. It is said that literati are light, and Xing'er's identity is estimated to be in the eyes of their mother and son, if they don't pass the exam, it's okay, and if they pass the exam, they have to look down on Xing'er.
His mother must be proud of his ability, and he will obey his mother if he is filial. If Xing'er really took advantage of the Jiang family to marry in the past, she may not have a good life in the future. ”
As soon as Xing'er raised her head after speaking, she saw Jiang Xi's face with surprise and joy.
"Xing'er, it's really not easy for you to think so much. Okay, we'll rule this out, you can look at the other two. ”
