Chapter 561: Marriage (I)
Chapter 561: Marriage (I)
Mrs. Tai brought tea.
Under the old man's tough attitude, the third lady knew that the only way to avoid it was to avoid it.
She bowed and retreated, and hurriedly consulted with her husband.
"My ancestor once served as a general, Yin En entered the Xishan camp, and followed the fourth brother to make military achievements, and now he is in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division." The third master groaned, "I am also Yin En, although it is the fourth grade, it is not as good as the Jin family, and I have real power in my hands." Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a door-to-door match with our family......"
"What a match!" The third lady immediately jumped up, "Our family is the queen mother's mother's family, the future emperor's mother family, how can he be compared with our family as the deputy commander of a small Dongcheng Terracotta Division......"
When the third master heard this, he immediately covered his wife's mouth. He said sharply: "How many times have I told you, just keep this in your heart." Don't talk nonsense. A ...... who is not careful, will get into trouble"
Seeing that her husband looked like he was facing a great enemy, the third lady hurriedly grabbed her husband's hand and said in a sneering voice: "I, I'm not in front of you...... And there are no outsiders...... I've never said anything to outsiders......"
The third master frowned.
The third lady was busy with a smiling face: "Don't be angry, master!" ”
The third master did not let go as quickly as before.
The third lady stepped forward and pulled the sleeve of the third master, which had the taste of bowing her head.
A trace of helplessness flashed between the third master's eyebrows, and he sighed softly.
The third lady's hanging heart fell.
Others also put Yinzi money, and she also put Yinzi money. Who knew that her luck was so bad that she would cause such a disaster to her husband. What makes her even more uneasy is that her husband has not said anything until now - if in the past, her husband lost his temper, she cried and made a fuss and then accompanied her carefully, her husband's anger would have disappeared, and the two would be reconciled again. But now, he just said "um" when he said anything, crying and crying, making trouble, and being careful with him, but it was like a punch on cotton, and he still looked like a yin and yang.
If you think about it, you can't blame him for that.
It was she who was confused for a while, didn't listen to her husband, cut off the family's wealth, and cut off the opportunity to stand on her own. I can't help but feel empty. In front of her husband, she no longer has the momentum she used to have. Speak with a bit of caution.
"I don't mean anything else." She slowed down her voice and said softly, "I think, our frugal brother is now in the Praetorian Guard, and his identity is different - the fourth brother has not said goodbye to Brother Yu so far, isn't he just expecting him to have a reputation for showing off his talents, and he can be matched with a high-ranking concubine in the future?" It's not too much for me to plan for my thrifty brother, right? The third lady said as she observed her husband's expression. Seeing that the third master's face was slightly pale, her heart was relieved, and she continued, "Don't dare to think about anything else, just because he is the nephew of the Marquis of Yongping, and he has a serious errand, marrying the daughter of a third-grade military attache is not considered Gao Pan, right?" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but complain, "It's all the Fang family who is in trouble, otherwise, I would have asked Brother Jian to marry the daughter of the Fengxiang prefect." That girl is really handsome, and she speaks decently......"
Why did it get to Fang's head again?
These days, the wife seems to have fallen into a demon, and something has been involved in the eldest daughter-in-law.
The wife of the Fengxiang prefect doesn't look down on Brother Jian'er, because Brother Jian'er is the second son, it is impossible to be gracious, and he has no fame, what does this have to do with the eldest daughter-in-law?
The third master thought of what had happened at home these days, and his face became sad: "Mother doesn't know how much has happened, since her old man has taken a fancy to the young lady of the Jin family, the young lady's character and appearance must be good." You just don't have to toss anymore. Qi Da is not even. This marriage is about the right match. Look at Brother Qin'er......" Speaking of this, thinking that the Fang family was now his daughter-in-law after all, saying that she was just slapping her face, swallowing the dissatisfaction in her heart, "In short, you will do what your mother said about this matter!" ”
The third lady looked at her husband in surprise: "Then, is the marriage of the thrifty brother decided like this?" His voice trembled.
The third master waved his hand, signaling that he should not say anything more about this matter, and then walked to the bookcase, took a big red gold invitation, and wrote Xu Sijian's Shenggeng eight characters on it.
"You can send the invitation now." He instructed the third lady, "Don't procrastinate and make my mother unhappy." ”
The third lady looked at the invitation, and felt that her arm could not be lifted as if it had been filled with lead.

"I just said, why did my mother suddenly ask you to find an errand for Brother Jian'er?" The fifth lady said, took the iced mung bean soup in Hexiang's hand, scooped a spoonful with a spoon and fed it to Xu Lingkuan, "It turned out that I wanted to say goodbye to Brother Jian'er." ”
The people outside the house kept screaming, and the ice cubes in the house felt hot. It was rare for Mu Xiu to be at home, Xu Lingkuan crossed Erlang's legs and leaned on the big pillow covered with ginger kudzu, and drank a sip of cold mung bean soup comfortably, and then said: "You think that the people from the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of War are so easy to talk to, I went to their door for no reason." Do you know that I also spent two hundred taels of silver for this matter...... So far, there is no place to go out of the tent! ”
The fifth lady leaned on her husband's shoulder with a smile: "I'll help you out!" He added, "This is the first time that our fifth master has shown his face in front of his brothers, and it is not interesting to mention these two hundred taels of silver." Besides, last time, Tang Sixteen of the Hou family of Zhongshan found an errand of the seventh grade, and when he got the paperwork, he spent five hundred taels of silver, and the rest is not counted. The master only spent two hundred taels, and the gang of the Wuxuan Division looked at your boss's face! They must have just begged you for a drink, and they didn't dare to ask for anything else. What's more, as the fifth master, inviting people to dinner, the table of less than two hundred taels looks a little shabby! ”
"You're so smart!" Xu Lingkuan smiled and twisted the fifth lady's cheek, "I spent one hundred and sixty taels in Chunxi Tower." There are also forty taels, which were rewarded when I went to get the papers. ”
The fifth lady frowned slightly when she listened: "Didn't the third brother go with you?" ”
"Those little boys coaxed me." Xu Lingkuan said disapprerovingly, "I only have forty taels of silver in my hand, so I will give them to them." Later, the third brother took fifty taels of silver and came out to invite them to eat and drink. ”
Only then did the smile return to the fifth lady's face: "Then Master Jin of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, do you know it?" What is their family like? Is Miss Jin really as good as her mother said? ”
"I've only seen it a few times, but I haven't made deep friends. But it looks quite honest,......" Xu Lingkuan recalled, "That time we had a large group of people, he was the oldest, sitting by the door, if anyone asked for something, he immediately went to arrange, and he was very cautious......"
* * * * * *
Xu Lingyi and Shi Niang also said about Lord Jin: "I don't remember that there is such a person under my command." Or they are responsible for transporting grain and grass. At that time, that piece was supervised by the old Marquis Sun. ”
Eleven Niang was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Lingyi was in Miao Jiang, Old Marquis Sun was supervising grain and grass. It's no wonder that the friendship between the two families is extraordinary.
She smiled: "In those days, my mother went everywhere, it turned out that she was saying goodbye to Brother Jian'er!" ”
Xu Lingyi believes in her mother very much. And to the point of exchanging Geng posts, the Jin family must have acquiesced to this family business.
He never thought much about what was a foregone conclusion. Asked about Sister Zhen'er: "...... The dowry list was sent? ”
"It's gone!" Eleven Niang smiled, "Grandma Lin looked speechless. said that one hundred and twenty-four can be loaded when the time comes! ”
"Then pick up the ones that matter." Xu Lingyi disagreed, "It's really not good, so I'll change it to a silver ticket." When the time comes, you will buy a field and land again, and keep quiet, so as not to make people blush. ”
Eleven Niang smiled: "Grandma Lin is saying kind words. You're serious! I think that at the beginning, when Sister Hui got married, the dowry was not less than that of our sister Zhen. ”
Xu Lingyi was slightly stunned and laughed.
Eleven Niang told him about the choice of the person to marry: "Xiaoli and Xiaoque have served by their side since they were children, so they naturally want to follow." I also pulled out a Xiulan in her room, the abacus is playing well, and I can help Sister Zhen settle the account when the time comes......"
While the two were talking, a little maid came in and said, "Master Hou, madam, Grandma Huang San from the Hou Mansion of Yongchang is here!" ”
Eleven Niang was a little surprised.
It's only been two hours, and Grandma Huang San has come over! That's fast!
She invited Grandma Huang San to sit in the flower hall.
"I'll come to see you first, and then I'll go see Mrs. Tai." Grandma Huang San smiled bitterly, "I've picked up a hot potato, and it's not a loss, and it's not a loss." ”
Last time, for Xu Siqin's marriage, Grandma Huang San had palpitations.
Eleven Niang said with a smile: "This family affair is set by Mrs. Tai, and you, the matchmaker, are also chosen by Mrs. Tai, we are not reliable, our Mrs. Tai is not that kind of person." My sister put aside her scruples for the time being, and it's not too late to talk about it when she sees the people of the Jin family! ”
Grandma Huang San said: "I'm not afraid of the Jin family. I'm afraid of the third lady of your family. You don't know, but she let it out, the eldest daughter-in-law is a dowry of 20,000 taels of silver, and the second daughter-in-law can't be worse than the eldest daughter-in-law. Otherwise, with Brother Jian'er's appearance, why didn't anyone in Yanjing want to marry her? The Jin family has a mountain of gold and silver, and there are three sons in the family, so it is impossible to give 20,000 taels of silver to their daughter as a dowry! ”
"Everyone expects a mountain to be higher than a mountain." Eleven Niang had no choice but to reassure her, "This wife still has to be moral." You can't just keep your eyes on the dowry. Otherwise, why did our wife choose such a family business for Brother Jian'er, and directly marry the big businessman in Jiangnan. Don't say 20,000 taels, even 200,000 taels can be taken out! ”
Despite this, Grandma Huang San still chattered for a long time, and then she felt a little more comfortable, and was accompanied by Eleven Niang to see Mrs. Tai.
"You're early." Mrs. Tai was very happy to see that Grandma Huang San came so quickly.
Grandma Huang San was also the one who came, and sat down beside Mrs. Tai with a smile: "What kind of relationship do we have between the two families?" You don't call me like you call our fourth lady? ”
Mrs. Tai listened with a smile on her face.
The third lady brought Geng Ti.
Eleven Niang was a little surprised.
The third lady's dissatisfaction with this family affair was written on her face. She thought that although the third lady would not disobey the lady, she would not be too positive.
Mrs. Tai didn't move her eyebrows, and handed the Geng paste directly to Grandma Huang San, and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait for your good news!" ”
