Chapter 112: The Human Heart Is Sinister
Junyan's family affairs have been decided, and the Zhao family has been thinking about Baozhi these days, and it is time to talk about family affairs, it is inconvenient for her to move around outside, Aunt He must not be in the mood to take care of this kind of thing, so she invited Aunt Yan to discuss.
Zhengui brought a bowl of fresh grapes, and Zhao pushed the porcelain plate of painted butterflies and flowers to Aunt Yan's side: "I sent it from Zhuangzi early this morning, and I worshipped the well water, and it is the most suitable for this day." ”
Aunt Yan twisted one and put it in her mouth, and spread it out in her mouth: "My mother has always been the most eccentric, and the dowry for you is the best, and my Zhuangzi has never produced such good grapes." ”
"This is the Zhuangzi that my mother gave me, this is the Zhuangzi that Junyan earned for his sister to be a dowry in the future." Zhao said with a smile that her sister is good everywhere, but she always likes to say that her mother treats her badly partially. In the past, they were persuaded and persuaded to do so, but now they have become accustomed to it over the years, and every time she mentions it, she hears it in her left ear and her right ear.
"Toshihiko earned? He didn't just enter the Hanlin Academy to do editing, so how much money could he have. "Didn't you hear that the Hanlin Academy is the most bitter, look at the dowry that the Wang family married at the beginning, isn't it.
Zhao's voice lowered and moved towards Aunt Yan: "Didn't their brother and sister go back to Jinling at the beginning, his brother-in-law asked his son to instigate Junyan to gamble, but Junyan not only didn't fall into the trap, but instead circled his aunt's son with the son of the Duke of Qi, and the Liu family owed a lot of silver to the prince of the Duke of Qi. After returning to Beijing, they didn't take it alone, and gave half to Toshihiko, who thought about his sister and left it to Baozhi. ”
Aunt Yan's eyes straightened when she heard this, and there was such a thing, she didn't expect that Junyan, who looked honest and honest on weekdays, still had this hand: "The Gongzi of Qi you said is the eldest son of the eldest princess of Roufu?" He is a popular man in front of the emperor, and now that he is the son of the world, does Junyan still have dealings with him now? ”
"They have been playing together, and during Toshihiko's time in the country, he often sent things back for Toshihiko." Zhao replied, she was obviously talking about Baozhi's dowry, why did she get around here again.
Aunt Yan wrote it down, went back and told Ji Ying, and asked her to tell Mrs. Ma that her mother's brother was good friends with the prince of Qi Guo, and her mother's family had a capable person, so the Ma family would not dare to underestimate Ji Ying.
Then Aunt Yan said to Zhao: "It's really hard to say that Baozhi has to talk about this family matter, according to her family background, she doesn't have a father, so it's not easy to say that she is pro, Junyan has just entered the office, and his heels are not firm, but he is a hand-picked Tanhualang, and he still has a future, but in the end the foundation is a little thinner." ”
When Aunt Yan said that they didn't have any silver, Zhao said hurriedly: "We are not short of silver, the ancestral industry on the Jinling side has been returned to Junyan, and the dowry on Baozhi's side has also been prepared. ”
Aunt Yan scoffed, didn't she just say that half of the gambling debts collected, how much can it be, her sister has been in the house for a long time, and she doesn't know the market for marrying her daughter outside.
"I've already asked someone to find a suitable house outside, and we will move out when Toshihiko gets married. Don't tell you what I'm telling you today. Zhao whispered.
Aunt Yan nodded, twisted another grape, and wondered which family had a suitable boy when she was a guest outside recently.
In her opinion, Baozhi is embarrassed by the family background, it is too difficult to find a suitable one, the high is not low, the Zhao family with a lower family looks down on her, and the people with a high family look down on her. It's really not easy to do.
Aunt Yan was struggling with this matter, and Ma Fu sent a letter inviting her to come to the house the next day, which was unusual, she always wanted to go, and Ma Fu never gave her a post.
Mrs. Ma mentioned to Aunt Yan that An Fu Hou Shizi is a good person, the original wife died in childbirth half a year ago, and now the Xie family wants to marry him to fill the house, according to the Xie family's family background, don't say Baozhi, even He Xingchen can't climb, now there is such an opportunity, Baozhi is a bargain.
Even so, Aunt Yan was still a little hesitant in her heart, her sister would definitely not be happy to fill the house, Mrs. Ma saw her hesitation, she was unhappy, and it seemed that her eyes were shiying.
Ji Ying comprehended and hurriedly said: "This is indeed a major matter that needs to be considered again, and it can't be ambiguous." Mother Fu Ge'er has teething these days, why don't you come with me to take a look. ”
When Aunt Yan heard that her grandson had teeth, she was overjoyed, and after a few polite words with Mrs. Ma, she went with Jiying.
After entering the house, Ji Yingping retreated, leaving only the henchmen of the two waiting at the door.
As soon as Aunt Yan saw her daughter acting like this, she thought that there must be something strange about the Xie family, so she cheered up and listened.
It turned out that the Ma family wanted to climb up to the virtuous concubine Niangniang, Mrs. Ma recently went to Anfu Houfu Mansion to visit the door, from Mrs. An Fuhou heard that she wanted to continue the strings for Xie Kun, and the virtuous concubine was optimistic about Baozhi, so Mrs. Ma recommended his daughter-in-law to have a relationship with Zhang Baozhi, and she went to say that he was allowed to become a monk.
The Xie family pushed the boat down the river, and entrusted Mrs. Ma, it was a family affair between Baozhi and Xie Kun, Aunt Yan must say it, otherwise the Ma family will have a bad reputation in front of An Fuhou, don't say that it is to climb up to the virtuous concubine, even if it is in the future, it will be extremely faceless.
"If this matter is done, my waist will be stiffer in this family, and I don't have to be talked about by my mother-in-law everywhere, my mother's family will not help." Ji Ying wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
She knows her daughter's difficulties in her in-law's family, but will it hurt Baozhi, isn't this equivalent to exchanging Baozhi's marriage for her daughter's future? But in the end, Jiying is her own child, and it is indeed she who is sorry for her daughter
Ji Ying saw that her mother was hesitant, so she decided to push it again, gritted her teeth and pinched herself hard in her sleeve.
With tears in his eyes, he raised his arm and pretended to pour tea for his mother, pretending to inadvertently reveal the wrist that had just pinched the purple.
Aunt Yan saw the bruise on her daughter's wrist at a glance, and exclaimed, "He still beat you?!" ”
Ji Ying hurriedly put her hands behind her back, and said busily, but tears fell down.
"No, it's okay if you accidentally hit it, it's okay, don't make a fuss"
"What accidentally hit, how can it fit on the wrist!? You have a body, and he dares to do it!? It's really the other way around! Walk! Find a judge and judge! As he spoke, he was about to pull up Ji Ying, and he was still muttering, "I have to talk to their family today!" ”
Ji Ying hurriedly grabbed her mother and cried: "Don't, don't, don't, he also drank too much, he didn't mean it, it's still good to treat me on weekdays." Mother, as long as you get this done, they won't dare to underestimate the child! It's all children who are not filial, and when you go out, you will be burdened."
In fact, although Ma Yuanming was a little more attentive, he never did anything to treat her, at most he shouted a few words, and then went to the concubine who was being favored.
Aunt Yan sighed and closed her eyes for a while, in the end, it was still her daughter who was important, and besides, people had long taken a fancy to Baozhi, but she didn't do it herself, and Concubine Xian Niangniang made a decree, and Baozhi didn't dare to disobey, so it was better to do it herself, but she could gain a firm foothold for her daughter in Mafu.
When I opened my eyes again, I had already made up my mind.
