Chapter 227: The Zheng Family
In the guest house, Mrs. Luo took a bath and changed her clothes, so she couldn't sit still, got up and went to the main courtyard, and said to Mrs. Xuanping: "The Zheng family, let me talk about it." There is also some sincerity in this way. ”
Old Mrs. Xuanping knew that she would rather offend the Zheng family than let the Cen Mansion suffer, but she admired her approach.
She didn't stop her, and said to Mrs. Luo, "If you want to go, then go." If you don't go there, don't talk about quitting your relatives, just say that you heard that I am sick, come to the capital to visit the patient, and visit his family by the way. ”
"Why?" Mrs. Luo wondered.
Don't...... Her mind turned several times, thinking that what she said to Xia Jin just now was known by Mrs. Xuanping Hou.
She thought so in her heart, and asked tentatively: "Did Xia Jin tell you something?" ”
"Xia Jin?" The old lady Xuanping said in surprise, "No! Then he asked curiously, "Why?" What did you tell her? ”
"No, not really." Mrs. Luo didn't want people to know that it was precisely because she was poor and rich that her son ran away from home.
Seeing this, the old lady Xuanping waited for her to ask again.
"Then I'll go to Zheng's house." Mrs. Luo stood up.
"Go ahead."
Since it was a door-to-door visit, Mrs. Luo first sent someone to deliver the post, and after receiving the reply from the Zheng family, she took the car to the Zheng Mansion.
Mrs. Zheng was worried about her daughter's affairs at home, and when she received the post, she couldn't help but be surprised to see that it was Mrs. Luo, who was far away in Linjiang. sent someone to send the post back, then changed his clothes and went to the front hall, waiting for Mrs. Luo's arrival.
And Zheng Wanru heard that Mrs. Luo was coming, thinking that she was here to hire, and made a lot of noise in the house. The maid can't do it. I had to hurry out and quietly tell Mrs. Zheng, who was entertaining.
Mrs. Zheng was irritable, but her face didn't show it at all, and asked Mrs. Luo with a smile: "Why did you suddenly come to the capital?" Don't say anything beforehand, we'll send someone to fetch you. ”
Mrs. Luo said: "I heard that my aunt and grandmother are not in good health, so I came to take a look." ”
Mrs. Zheng chatted with Mrs. Luo absentmindedly, and saw that she did not say anything about the dowry. I breathed a sigh of relief.
knew about Peng Yuzhang's resignation. Zheng Wanru cried and made trouble at home, and even went on a hunger strike. She really couldn't help it. If Mrs. Luo comes to hire again at this time, it will be tantamount to adding insult to injury. Push her daughter into the abyss.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but complain about her father-in-law. is such an excellent person with his nephew, for some reason, his uncle and father-in-law just don't look down on him. did not agree to marry Zheng Wanru to him. Otherwise, it wouldn't be in this situation.
Mrs. Luo respectfully obeyed the instructions of Mrs. Xuanping. Just leave the relatives, and don't mention the word half of the relatives. After gossiping for a while, he took his leave and left.
Mrs. Zheng hurried back to the backyard and saw her daughter throwing things everywhere. Lying on the bed crying miserably, the maids in the room were at a loss.
She sighed and said to her daughter, "Don't make trouble. Mrs. Luo is not here to be hired. ”
"Mother, you go and beg your grandfather. Let him promise me to marry my cousin. Zheng Wanru cried and begged with red and swollen eyes.
Mrs. Zheng sighed and had to get up and go to the front yard.
Zheng Wanru's grandfather is Zheng Shangshu's younger brother, because of his unsuccessful career, he has already become a scholar, and usually only reciting poetry and painting at home. Hearing that his daughter-in-law had something to see, he had to put down the chess game and let her in.
After listening to his daughter-in-law say what he meant, he sighed and said, "You don't have to ask about this matter anymore." You just need to remember that this family affair is your uncle's master, and he thinks that the Peng family is not suitable for marriage, so it is not suitable for marriage. If Sister Ru'er is not satisfied with the Luo family, she can choose another one. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng was very displeased. She is the daughter of the Peng family. What does her father-in-law mean when he said in front of her that the Peng family is not suitable for marriage?
She said angrily: "Our Peng family has a low door, and we are not worthy of the Zheng family, and I have no vision, I don't know what kind of family I should find to be worthy of the Zheng family's girl, and I ask my father-in-law to make it clear." ”
Old lady Zheng couldn't help frowning when she saw her daughter-in-law drilling the tip of the horns.
Although he is not a big official, he is not confused, and he naturally knows what the reason is why the eldest brother does not agree to let Zheng Wanru marry into the Peng family.
A few years ago, Peng Qizheng muttered in their ears, saying how good King Yan was. They are all old foxes who have been crawling in the court for decades, where do they not know the meaning revealed in Peng Qizheng's words? It's just that the Zheng family has become the head of civil officials, and the wealth of the sky is in their hands, where is the use of turning to the rebels?
They only pretended not to understand Peng Qizheng's meaning, and naturally did not agree to marry Zheng Wanru to the Peng family.
Zheng Wanru's mother married more than ten years ago. At that time, King Yan was still a hairy boy and did not become a climate. Even if King Yan conspired against the incident, the emperor was a wise monarch, and he would not be angry with the Zheng family because of a family affair more than ten years ago, so that the Zheng family would be involved. But if Zheng Wanru and Peng Yuzhang marry now, the meaning will be different, this is a sign that she is on the same front as King Yan. If the Zheng family wants to say that they don't know that King Yan is going to rebel, and they are not in the same group as them, no one will believe it.
Of course, if King Yan succeeds in his rebellion, the Zheng family, by virtue of their in-law relationship with the Peng family, will only become the target of the new monarch's wooing, and will definitely not be liquidated.
Left and right, why not?
But he didn't want to tell his daughter-in-law these words, so he just took out his father-in-law's money and scolded: "Your uncle's decision has his own considerations, how can you understand?" The Peng family's family affairs are not good, so Sister Ru'er should die quickly, and don't have any thoughts that shouldn't be there. ”
Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to tell Zheng Wanru these words.
Zheng Wanru saw that it was useless to make such a fuss, so she had to use a killer trick and tell Mrs. Zheng about being broken by her cousin.
Mrs. Zheng was taken aback and exclaimed, "Sister Ru, why are you so confused? is like this before you get married, even if you marry him, you will be despised by him! ”
Zheng Wanru cried: "What can I do? It's all like this, I can't marry my cousin, let me die. ”
She and Peng Yuzhang grew up together since childhood, and their families have always joked about them, saying that they are childhood sweethearts. She also thought that she would marry her cousin when she grew up. But I didn't want her to be thirteen years old, and when her cousin was fourteen years old, the Cen family suddenly came to propose, and then the Cen family and the Peng family quickly got engaged. She was stunned at this time, and tried her best to make Peng Yuzhang like her, and later she did not hesitate to commit herself to him, so she wanted to instigate Peng Yuzhang to make trouble with her elders, so that he would quit the Cen family's family affairs and marry her.
But I don't want Peng Yuzhang to talk sweetly to her, but after eating and wiping it off, he won't return his relatives. She can't say what she is suffering now, so she has to use powerful means to make Peng Yuzhang withdraw from the Cen family, no matter what happens now, she will marry her cousin.
Mrs. Zheng saw that her daughter was making too much trouble, and she had no choice but to go to her husband.
Master Peng is also a sober-minded person, and his own daughter is clamoring to marry Peng Yuzhang, and he married the daughter of the Peng family as his wife, so for the issue of standing in line in the court, the uncle and father have carefully analyzed the relationship with him, so that he can grasp the relationship with the Yue family.
At this time, when he saw his wife talking about his daughter's family affairs, he prevaricated and said: "This family matter is not only disagreed with by uncle and father, but also by your brother, which is not something I can decide." ”
Mrs. Zheng had to go back to her parents' home.
When Peng Qizheng heard that his sister was back, he knew his intention. After meeting and listening to her explain her intentions, she said: "I heard that the blood relationship is too close, and the children born will have problems nine times out of ten." Brother Zhang and Sister Ru are cousins, and their blood relationship is too close. Our Peng family does not have many heirs, so I only have a son like Brother Zhang. If there is a problem with the child he gave birth to, our Peng family will cut off the incense. So for the sake of future generations, I can't agree to this family business. ”
Mrs. Peng was speechless when she said this. She was angry and annoyed, reluctantly sat there for a while, said a few nonsense words to her brother and sister-in-law and went home, and after returning home, she tried her best to persuade Zheng Wanru: "You have nothing to do with Peng Yuzhang, you should give up this family business." ”
Zheng Wanru cried so darkly, but there was no way. She is a person who cherishes her life very much, and naturally she is unwilling to lose her life for Peng Yuzhang, who is unwilling to give up her relatives, so she has no choice but to pack up her mood and wait to marry Luo Qian. (To be continued)
