Chapter 553: Marriage (Part II)

Xu Siyu is neither humble nor arrogant, and his answer is soft and firm, even if he changes himself, he may not answer better than him.

Eleven Niang showed an appreciative look and said with a smile: "What does Fang Tanhua say?" ”

Xu Siyu avoided her gaze with some embarrassment.

Fang Tanhua gave me a deep look. said that he was also angry for a while, so he said something inappropriate and did something inappropriate. When I think about it now, I feel a little ashamed. But as his sister-in-law's mother's family, he saw that his sister had been wronged, and he couldn't sit idly by no matter what. What's more, the so-called Kefu's rumors are all nonsense from the Huo family, and their family didn't even see Huo Gongzi's Shenggeng characters. ”

He relayed Fang Ji's words.

"Huo Gongzi died young, Mrs. Huo was too sad, I don't know which three aunts and six mothers-in-law instigated, saying that Huo Gongzi's death was all because of his marriage with my sister. Mrs. Huo was angry with her sister, so every time someone came to kiss, she came to obstruct it, and even spread rumors many times, and later it was her grandmother who came to visit the patriarch of the Huo family, which stopped a little. It's just that the three of them became tigers, and my sister not only left such a name, but the Huo family is a big surname in Huzhou, and everyone in half of the city is related to their family. Everyone didn't want to leave a gap between relatives, and the aunt didn't want to wronged her sister, so the family affair was delayed again and again.

"This is also a thousand miles of marriage. My sister and brother-in-law have such a fate. When your family went to propose, my uncle was afraid that he would mistake his brother-in-law, so he deliberately asked the staff around him to take the eight characters of the two and find several monks and Mr. Yin and Yang, who are famous in Shaanxi, to look at each other, and they all said that it was a match made in heaven, and this is the marriage. If you don't believe it, you can ask the third lady. At that time, when my sister and brother-in-law were discussing marriage, it took three days for other people's families to join the eight characters, and our family gave a reply after five or six days.

"It's just that these things about the love of children are not easy to talk about in front of the Hou Ye. If there is any misunderstanding between Mrs. Tai and Hou Ye, I didn't make it clear. I also asked the younger brother to accompany the brother on his behalf. ”

Not only did he find a step down, but he also told the story of Fang Kefu clearly.

"I saw that he was speaking sincerely, and the eldest brother didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he said a few words: 'You are the brother of the sister-in-law, and I am the younger brother of your brother-in-law, so we should mediate and persuade them to reconcile. Now that there is a misunderstanding, I have to ask the elders to clarify the words in front of them, and then ask him to come over the day after tomorrow. He answered immediately. He also left me to eat and personally sent me out. ”

If you don't get to the point of pressing your handprints on the letter of resignation and taking and leaving the book in Shuntianfu, you can't tear your face if you are a relative for a day.

Xu Siyu's calmness and composure in dealing with this matter impressed Eleven Niang.

"Good work!" She smiled, "Brother Yu'er has grown up. ”

Xu Siyu's face turned red.

He stood up: "Mother, if there are no other orders, I will leave first." ”

Eleven Niang was also going to Mrs. Tai's side, nodded with a smile, asked him how the scrolls were collected, and then asked Qiu Yu to send him out.

Over there, Aunt Wen saw Xu Siyu come out, took the dowry list and entered the door.

Eleven Niang hugged Brother Jin and went to Mrs. Tai with her.

She first told Mrs. Tai about Xu Si's situation when she went to Fang's house.

"Brother Yu'er is getting more and more sensible." Mrs. Tai's tone was a little shhh But this sigh was very short-lived, and Mrs. Tai was generally reluctant to talk more, so she immediately shifted the topic to the meeting between Eleven Niang and Fang Ji tomorrow, "This Fang Ji is contemptuous, but I'm afraid it's not a simple character." The Fang family is now offensive and defensible. Tomorrow, when you see Fang Ji, I'm afraid that you have to cheer up......"

When Eleven Niang saw Fang Ji coming up, she shouted to make peace, and thought that he actually rushed into the hall of the Ministry of Rites with those scholars, and thought that he was a person who only knew the spirit of the scholar and was reckless, but listening to Xu Siyu's words, he was in the matter of Fang's Kefu, whether it was the shouting in front of Xu Lingyi before, or the sigh in front of Xu Siyu later, it was a means to wash away the rumors of "Kefu" for the Fang family, and he was clearly a person with a degree of advance and retreat.

Those who are reasonable are afraid of encountering the horizontal, and those who are horizontal are afraid of encountering those who will not die. Since the Fang family has a purpose, and Fang Ji acts in a measured manner, this matter is easy to handle.

Eleven Niang smiled: "If I can't cope with it, it's not too late to ask my mother to come forward." Hengzhi is a junior, although I am a clan wife, but there are also Hou Ye and Mrs. Tai above. ”

Mrs. Tai thought that she had always acted safely, nodded slightly, smiled and hugged Brother Jin'er who was playing on the kang alone, and asked the little maid to call Aunt Wen in. While teasing Brother Jin'er, while listening to Aunt Wen's dowry report to Sister Zhen'er, occasionally looking up and asking carefully, a morning passed quickly.

Xu Lingyi came over for lunch.

Such cases are relatively rare.

Mrs. Tai was very happy and asked people to add dishes, while Aunt Wen followed Mother Du to set up the soup on the side.

Brother Jin dropped a table full of food.

Mrs. Tai nagged: "How can he let him eat by himself when he is so small!" Then he called the jade version, "Fetch water to clean the hands and face of the sixth young master." Tell Mother Du, "Bring me the silver spoon of my ginkgo biloba, and I'll feed Brother Jin'er." Then he smiled and said to Brother Jin, "Let's eat with a beautiful spoon, eat more!" ”

Xu Lingyi laughed beside him.

Eleven Niang felt like she was sweating profusely.

Brother Jin held the fir wooden spoon in his hand, and nodded to Mrs. Tai incessantly. Mrs. Tai smiled happily.

When Du's mother brought the silver spoon, Mrs. Tai fed him food, but he took Mrs. Tai's silver spoon and ate it himself, ate two bites, maybe he was not used to it, threw the silver spoon aside, took his own wooden spoon to eat, and picked the rice grains everywhere.

Mrs. Tai said curiously: "Oh, why did you suddenly change sex, you don't want my things!" ”

The silver spoon was very beautiful, with a round spoon and a long handle, and a ginkgo biloba leaf on its head.

Mother Du smiled and said, "The sixth young master likes bright things. This means that the silver spoon does not hit the eye.

"That's wrong." Mrs. Tai smiled, "When you eat, it is naturally the best silver spoon." But I still asked Du's mother to get the red gold double life spoon, and in the end, the meal was not fed, and the spoon was grabbed by Brother Jin'er and did not let go.

"Don't be a nest!" Mrs. Tai smiled and leaned back: "Your eldest sister will get married in a few months, you must remember to ask your eldest brother-in-law for a few more red envelopes." ”

"Our eldest aunt is a caring person." Du's mother smiled, "I still have you to say this, I'm afraid that the red envelope has already been prepared!" ”

Everyone talked and laughed, and went to the west of the tea room.

Xu Lingyi took advantage of the atmosphere to talk about the third master: "...... I said, the body is the capital. If this body is defeated, no matter how big the official is, he will not be able to sit steadily, and no matter how much money he makes, he will have nowhere to spend it. Let him resign and come back. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a member, and the three-year evaluation has also been 'good', and it is also an explanation to the ancestors and ancestors! ”

Mrs. Tai's expression changed from surprise to astonishment, and from astonishment to silence.

The old man picked up the teacup and took a few sips gently, then said softly, "I know", put the teacup, and said, "I'm also tired, everyone goes to rest", and Du's mother helped him get up and went to the inner room.

Xu Lingyi secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and went back and said to Eleven Niang: "When you go over in the afternoon, bring Brother Jin'er!" ”

Eleven Niang also felt that Mrs. Tai had something to say. When I went to discuss Sister Zhen's sister's affairs, I brought Brother Jin with me according to my words.

Mrs. Tai's calm look at noon, like before the storm, had long since gone, and the old man returned to his usual optimism and cheerfulness. smiled and teased Brother Jin'er, and didn't mention the matter of the third master.

* * * * * *

Fang Ji came to see Eleven Niang, obviously prepared.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he congratulated the third old man: "...... Although it is said that the emperor's grace is immense, but in the past three years, the performance of the officials has also been 'excellent', and it is the time to show great achievements, and they even resigned from the office. It's really admirable to us juniors! ”

pointed out that the reason why the third master was able to perform well in the first place was that the Fang family made a contribution.

Not to be outdone, Eleven Niang said with a smile: "Speaking of Zhishi, I heard our young grandmother say that my in-laws' hometown has always wanted to stay away from the pain of the case, and because of the burden of the family, I have to reluctantly do it. Who knew that before the exam, he heard his uncle rushing into the Ministry of Rites. We all had a heart hanging in from it. Especially our second young master, Master Hou has always disciplined him harshly, and never allowed him to bully others. He actually ran for his uncle's affairs overnight. Fortunately, my uncle turned evil into good fortune, and now he is young and has won the flowers, and his future is bright, and the in-laws can resign and return to their hometowns and live some leisurely lives. He added, "In the future, my uncle will serve in the Hanlin Academy, and everyone will be in Yanjing, so there will be more opportunities to come and go." ”

Although the Xu family can help with this matter, Xu Siyu reminded him at the time and rushed to the end.

Fang Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Eleven Niang is warning herself that he is the only official in the Fang family, and Xu Lingyi may not be able to help him, but he can stumble on the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.

Going on on with this topic will only make him more passive.

He had no choice but to say, "I and the second young master of the Zunfu can be regarded as familiar at first sight", and then changed the topic: "I don't know if the fourth lady invited me to come, what's the matter?" "I want to regain the initiative.

Fang Ji didn't mention it, and Eleven Niang didn't want to force people into a corner.

She smiled: "I heard that my uncle asked my sister to leave when he opened his mouth. Thinking that my uncle is young, I am afraid that he is a person with an impatient personality, so I am a little worried. Now that I have listened to the words of my uncle and the second young master of our family, I know that my uncle has good intentions. As my uncle said, the things between this husband and wife are mostly about the love of children, and it is not good for you to say more to Hou Ye as an uncle, and I, as an aunt, do not say much to my uncle. Now my uncle has promised the second young master of our family, and asked the elders of the Fang family to come forward to clarify and clarify. I was relieved.

"I just want to say more.

"If the young grandmother has any grievances, she should think more about her mother-in-law's hard work, treat others with herself, and take care of them. This is the duty of being a daughter-in-law. Why did you call your mother's brother to discuss something that was a little unsatisfactory? As he spoke, he laughed jokingly, "Fortunately, my uncle is in Yanjing, if this is not in Yanjing, wouldn't I have to send someone back to Huzhou to invite?" ”
