Chapter 182: Talking about family affairs before the spirit
Xie Qingqi looked at Jiang Yi suspiciously: "Ah like, what can you do?" β
Jiang seemed to whisper a few words in Xie Qingqi's ear.
Xie Qingqi became more and more surprised: "Can this work?" β
"Try it, if you can't think of another way, there is no endless way."
Xie Qingqi nodded vigorously: "Okay, then try it." β
The two went to find Xie Yinlou together, and when they walked to the door, they heard the woman's voice coming: "Yinlou, my aunt won't hurt you, this girl that my aunt said, her character and appearance are one in a hundred, and she is a match for you." β
Xie Qingqi stepped over the threshold with one foot and said coldly: "Big brother, why are you here if you don't go to the mourning hall at this time?" Make it easy for me to find. β
Seeing his sister and Jiang Yi, Xie Yinlou's tense expression was slightly relaxed, and he showed a little embarrassment.
I thought he didn't talk about it, and they said that it would be boring and would stop for a while, but I didn't expect my sister to listen to it.
As soon as she saw Xie Qingqi coming in, the woman frowned quickly, and immediately showed a look of affection again: "Qingqi, the adults are talking about business, you go and rest first." β
Xie Qingqi looked at Xie Yinlou with an innocent face: "Big brother, is there anything more important than treating the funeral of my parents now?" β
Xie Yinlou got up with a cold expression: "Naturally, no." β
Seeing that he was leaving, the woman hurriedly said, "Yin Lou, you are wrong about this. Right now, in addition to handling the funeral of your uncle and wife, there is another big event that is your marriage! β
Xie Yinlou looked at the woman coldly and said nothing.
The woman didn't care about Xie Yinlou's expression that she could freeze to death, in her opinion, the other party was a junior, but they got the nod of the patriarch, if this kid dared to put on a shelf for the world, don't think about having a good reputation.
If you don't have a good reputation, you still want to be knighted? Dream!
"Marriage?" Xie Qingqi raised his voice as if he heard a joke, "When your parents pass away, how can you marry if you have to keep filial piety for three years?" β
The girl's chin was slightly raised, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes showed dissatisfaction.
The woman was not afraid of Xie Yinlou, but was a little stunned.
A little girl without her father and mother is like a barefoot person who is not afraid of wearing shoes, who will she reason with if she really loses face?
At this time, Xie Qingqi's aunt spoke: "Qingqi, there are always exceptions to everything. Your brother is the only seedling of Yongchang Bofu, your parents are in a hurry, I don't know how sorry it is to not see your brother get married, you can bear to let them wait for another three years? Besides, you can't rely on your brother to take care of this huge mansion, right? Wouldn't it be good to marry a sister-in-law for you to enter the door before the first seven years passed, and your brother will have a virtuous help in the future? β
At this point, the eighth aunt and her aunt are the same, she vaguely glanced at Jiang Yi, who was following Xie Qingji, and said meaningfully: "If you have an aunt to check your brother, you will definitely marry a chaste and virtuous person to come in, it is better than your brother being coaxed by a messy woman when he is young and ignorant." β
Xie Qingqi's face sank suddenly, and he looked at his aunt: "This is also what my aunt meant?" β
The aunt pulled the corners of her lips: "This matter was discussed with your grandmother when your uncle came, how dare your aunt call the shots, don't worry about your girl's family." β
I didn't expect that after a few years, this girl would become so sharp-toothed. Fortunately, the old man meant to marry his daughter to Yongchang Bofu, not to let her son marry this girl, otherwise she would die!
"Yes, there is an aunt in this matter, you don't have to worry about it, a little girl." The eighth aunt glanced at her aunt.
The two looked at each other, full of gunpowder.
Half of their goals are the same, and as for who can achieve the other half of the goals, it depends on their respective abilities.
Xie Qingqi saw it in his eyes and was sad in his heart.
Ah seems to be right, the aunt and the eighth aunt are eager for their people to be the future uncle, and taking advantage of their contradictions is an opportunity for her and her brother.
"But I've heard my mother mention that my eldest brother is already talking about marriage. If I want to make my parents blind, I think it is more appropriate to choose the girl that my parents like. β
At this moment, Xie Yinlou subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yi, and couldn't help but think of a possibility.
Xie Yinlou frowned, ready to open his mouth to stop his sister's nonsense.
The mess in their house shouldn't have brought others in.
Xie Qingqi seemed to expect his brother's reaction, and the hand behind him pulled him hard.
Xie Yinlou lowered his eyes to hide the doubts in his eyes and decided to wait and see.
"Relatives? Which girl? The eighth aunt immediately raised her voice.
The aunt followed: "The family affairs have not been decided, and the woman is definitely not willing to get married within seven days, and then she will have to wait for three yearsββ"
"Three years later, my eldest brother will only be twenty years old, and it will not be too late at all." Xie Qingqi couldn't help but refute.
The eighth aunt slapped her thigh: "Qingqi, you are a child." Why are you in a hurry to get your eldest brother married in the first seven of your parents? It's because he's a lone seedling. You have also seen the impermanence of the world, who knows how many things will happen in three years? β
Xie Qingji's face turned pale with anger: "What do you mean by this?" Could it be that my eldest brother has an accident? β
My aunt looked indignant: "Yes, what you said is too unkind." Yin Lou, your parents have passed away, and your uncle can call the shots about your marriage. I have to listen to my uncle and aunt in this matter today, and we are all for your goodβ"
"Uncle and aunt are really for our good?"
"Nature is true."
The eighth aunt is not to be left behind: "Qingqi, we are a family, we are all surnamed Xie, and the eighth uncle and eighth aunt are dedicated to you." β
Xie Qingqi wiped his tears and sneered: "Since my aunt and eighth aunt both say that it is good for us, if any of you can say these words in front of my parents' spirits, my brother's marriage will depend on whom." β
The aunt and the eighth aunt were dumb all of a sudden.
"If my aunt and eighth aunt don't dare to say it, then you don't care about my eldest brother's marriage. As the elders said, what my parents are most worried about is the eldest brother's family affairs, and this matter must not be hasty. If my aunt and eighth aunt can promise to mention the woman in front of my parents' spirits, then my parents can rest assured in the heavenly spirits. If not, it is better to wait for the expiration of the three-year filial piety period and then pick it slowly. β
"Just go, my aunt can have a clear conscience." The eighth aunt glanced at her aunt, raised her feet and walked towards the spirit shed.
Not to be outdone, my aunt immediately followed.
There were also several elders of the same clan and maternal ancestors sitting in the house, including the uncle and eighth uncle of the Xie family brothers and sisters, all of whom got up and followed at this moment.
This kind of dispute is not easy for men to come forward, but in fact, it is their intention.
"Ah-" Seeing that everyone poured into the spirit shed, Xie Qing pulled Jiang Xiang anxiously.
It was noon, and there were no guests who came to pay their respects, and the mourning booth was empty, and it was instantly filled with people pouring in.
With a flick of Jiang Ru's fingertips, the phantom firefly quietly flew towards the eighth aunt and aunt.
Jiang seemed to cast Xie Qingqi a reassuring look.
Xie Qingqi calmed down and raised his voice: "Eighth aunt, you can tell my parents first." β
The eighth aunt looked at the two swarthy coffins placed side by side, the smell of burning paper went straight to her nose, and she inexplicably felt a little more chill than when she came before.
