Chapter 34 Ji Ying's family affairs
Aunt Yan has been in a very bad mood these days.
The family is still peaceful, but Jiying's marriage is too disturbing.
Aunt Yan was crooked on the bamboo chaise longue, wearing a Hunan moire brocade inlaid with treasure on her head, her eyes slightly closed, her chubby face drooping, and she took a deep breath from time to time.
Mama Ji took the tea from the little maid's hand, put it on the table for Aunt Yan, and called Aunt Yan tentatively: "Madam." ”
Aunt Yan was weak enough to pick up the teacup and take a sip: "Hey, I didn't like him at first, if it weren't for Mrs. Li always telling me about the benefits of that kid, how could I have responded." It's really infuriating. ”
"Madam, take care of your body." Mama Ji stroked Aunt Yan's back.
"I thought he was not as high as Luohua's in-laws, but it was because his father was a second-class official, and besides, this child of Ma Yuan's scholarly family didn't like to read and didn't want to make progress, even if he donated an official, I didn't like it, Mrs. Li praised him to the sky, I think he is an incompetent person." The more Aunt Yan thought about it, the more angry she became, why couldn't her daughter get married, so she had to catch up with him.
"Madam, the more you talk about the old slave, the more confused you become." That day, the wife also praised the little son of the Shangshu family in the household department for his good character and appearance, and he thought that it was decided a year ago, how did he change his hexagram again?
"Hmph, then I went to the house of the household servant as a guest and mentioned this matter, who would have thought that Mrs. Li was hesitant and seemed to be difficult to speak, so I asked again and again before I spit out." Aunt Yan was angry, her face flushed slightly, and she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before continuing.
"It turned out that Mrs. Ma looked at the girl of Jia Hanlin's family in the morning, but that family has not spit, Mrs. Li mentioned our family to her, she thought it was good, and now the family is a little relieved, she went back to find someone, but Mrs. Li is a subordinate of his family, otherwise she will be annoyed, hum, what did she do with our family?"
"In this way, this Mrs. Ma is indeed a little confused." Mama Ji pressed Aunt Yan's head again, "Mrs., don't be in a hurry, our girl's good marriage is ahead." ”
Aunt Yan sighed comfortably.
Another half a month passed.
Aunt Yan has had a few candidates recently, but none of them are as good as Ma Yuan in terms of family background or appearance.
It's not uncommon to talk about it on weekdays, but it's actually very regretful in my heart. At this time, I realized that my family background was really worse. It's really difficult to find someone for your daughter who can match the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion.
Xiping came in and said that Mrs. Li had arrived, Aunt Yan asked her to go to the flower hall to watch tea, and went into the room by herself.
When Mrs. Li saw Aunt Yan, she smiled all over her face, and stood up to greet her: "My good sister, I'm here to give you good news." ”
Aunt Yan doesn't know why, good news? "Mrs. Li, I don't know where the joy comes from?"
"Oh, look at me, I'm clumsy, I can't understand what I say." Mrs. Li's attitude made Aunt Yan feel furious, what is going on?
"Mrs. Ma Shangshu invites you and Miss Yan to go to Fayuan Temple for a few days to eat fast." Mrs. Li proudly patted Aunt Yan's hand.
Aunt Yan frowned slightly, isn't it? No, didn't the two families hear that they were going to make up their minds, why did they come back to her?
Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "Oh, the old lady of the Jia Hanlin family still wants to keep the girl for a few more years, Mrs. Ma is not happy, and she doesn't want our sister to be better than that Jia girl, so she asked me again." ”
Aunt Yan sneered, hum, this is a wall in other people's houses, and I think of them again, wishful thinking is okay, really when her family Jiying can't get married, she raised her hand and took the tea to send it off.
But after thinking about it again, with his own conditions, it would not be easy to find a more suitable person than him if he missed the Ma family, and put down the tea cup again, wanting to hear what Mrs. Li had to say.
Aunt Yan's actions all fell into the eyes of Mrs. Li, and it was not easy for her, Ma Shangshu was her husband's top boss, Mrs. Ma's trust, she had to do it anyway, so she put on a smiling face: "Mrs. Ma is also very ashamed, she already thinks that our girl is good, who knows that Jia Hanlin and Ma Shangshu are a little old, you also know, how can our women go beyond their husbands, so they made such a joke." ”
Aunt Yan got off the donkey down the slope and said with a smile: "Who said no, women's families should understand each other more." It's just..."
"I know! I know! Mrs. Li was afraid of Aunt Yan's hand, "You must be uncomfortable in your heart, Mrs. Ma said, if it happens, she will definitely give a generous dowry." Definitely let our girls have face. ”
Said too anxiously, Mrs. Li took a sip of tea and continued: "You don't know, their Ma family is a well-known family in Jinling, and they have a lot of money, if our girl marries in the past, let alone wear gold and silver, I think even your brother's sister married to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is not comparable." ”
Although this is somewhat exaggerated, it is indeed true, the most important thing for the Ma family is money, Ma Shangshu is in office, his younger brother is in business, over the years, the family business has become bigger and bigger, which is also one of the reasons why the saint ordered him to serve as the head of the household.
"If you want to talk about the little master of the Ma family, I have almost the same thing as you said before, I think you should know something about your and his appearance in private, Mrs. Ma, then wait for you to set a date, and the two families want to see it." Mrs. Li was in a hurry to go back to her life.
Aunt Yan thought about it again, but in the end she was still moved by the words that the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion couldn't catch up, her biggest wish in this life is to let Jiying live a good life, and she can no longer be like herself, frugal and frugal, and her mother-in-law calculated how much dowry she didn't know.
This time she had to keep her eyes open for her daughter.
In the end, her family is the woman's family, or she still has to be reserved, Aunt Yan put on a difficult look: "There have been a lot of things at home recently, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go to Mrs. Ma's appointment." ”
When Mrs. Li saw Aunt Yan's posture, Mrs. Li didn't understand, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ma will give you a post in person when she pours down." Sister will ensure that you have all the face inside this time, and when you meet, you will take a little pinch of her, and this matter will be done. ”
Aunt Yan felt that Mrs. Li's words were reasonable, and she didn't show it on her face: "You and I have been sisters for many years, and I won't be embarrassed by you, so let Mrs. Ma come to the post then." ”
The two talked a little more, and Mrs. Li took her leave and went to Mafu.
As soon as Mrs. Li left, Mama Ji stepped forward and said, "Madam, the old slave needs to be cautious about this family matter. ”
Aunt Yan sighed and said: "I thought it was too simple, but after these days, I found out that a family background like our Yan family has missed the Ma family, and it is not easy to find a family that can be comparable to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion." ”
Why do you have to be comparable to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, as long as my sister can live a good life, what is the difference between high marriage and low marriage, Mama Ji said this in her mind a few times, but she didn't say it after all.
On the second day, Mrs. Ma sent someone to post to Aunt Yan.
Meet her on the first day of next month, go to Fayuan Temple to eat food.
