Chapter 199: Diaphragm
Xiao Yuchen saw that her stepmother and sister were a little impatient, and said with a haha: "Liu Gongzi, let's sit outside." β
"Huh!" Although Liu Yongqi is older than Xiao Yuchen, Xiao Qiyun is young, and he still has to call Xiao Yuchen an uncle, but in the face of Yuchen's somewhat green face, Liu Yongqi's mouth moved, and in the end he couldn't make that sound, so he had to wipe it with hehe, "I married your sister-in-law, and we are the closest ones." He sat still.
Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yuchen were both a little annoyed, and Wen Jin got up: "Mother, you sit, I'll go to the kitchen to see how the banquet is going over there?" β
Liu Yongqi hurriedly stopped: "Auntie, what are you doing?" The maids and women who didn't have them were pestle one by one, asking you to run errands. β
Mrs. Xiao helped Wen Jin speak: "The cook has a few dishes that the eldest lady has to advise, you let her go." β
Wen Jin took Chunming and Xiayang out, sat in his courtyard for a while, and then returned to the flower hall, Liu Yongqi had already gone to the outer courtyard.
Xiao Qiyun stared at Wen Jin with some annoyance, and seeing that the other party didn't care at all, she gritted her teeth angrily and muttered in her heart: "Fox spirit." In the past two days, she feels very favored by men, and she is still very charming, and the scene just now completely shattered the illusion in her heart, her man is a pervert who eats in a bowl and looks at the pot, and even wants to beat Wen Jin's idea.
This meal was very dull, Xiao Qiyun had a calm face, and Mrs. Xiao and Wen Jin frowned, they were both a little disgusted, but they didn't expect Liu Yongqi to be more scum than they imagined.
Xiao Qiyun married into the Liu family, which really made the people in the capital look down on the Xiao family, and about ten days later, a matchmaker dressed up in fancy clothes came to the family, and Mrs. Xiao met in person.
"Congratulations to Mrs., Mrs. Hexi, this happy event of the Xiao family has not passed, and there will be a second happy event."
"What's more?" Mrs. Xiao was very indifferent.
Xiao Qiyun's marriage is like a fish thorn in the throat, and Qian Jun's departure made the public opinion in the whole capital focus on Wen Jin, at this time, there is only Xiao Yuchen, how heavy Xiao Yi is to this son, Mrs. Xiao knows very well, Xiao Mansion is still on the cusp of public opinion, which good daughter is willing to get married?
"Ouch, Mrs. Xiao, this is a great joy, a great joy, I am from the British Prince's Mansion, and the British princess wants to hire your eldest lady as the wife of the eldest son-"
Mrs. Xiao clenched her fists nervously, if it weren't for the fact that she was rich and Jun, let her know that Wen Jin had a heart, and this family affair was really good.
Immediately, she couldn't help but be suspicious, and the people in the whole capital were talking about it, Prince Ren ran away for Wen Jin, and it was impossible for the princess of England not to know about it, her son, which lady couldn't ask for it, why did he come to his own house at this time?
As soon as her mind moved, she inquired about the eldest grandson of the British king.
According to Wen Jin's approach, she will definitely not waste time on such a boring person, what truth can the matchmaker have in her mouth? But Mrs. Xiao doesn't think so, she thinks that almost all of the matchmaker's mouths are true, such as allusions to the flowers, and after careful analysis, you can still find clues.
The matchmaker told Mrs. Xiao that the eldest grandson of the British king was shy and generous.
Mrs. Xiao smiled and noddedβthat is to say, that person is a wreck, not eloquent, and rotten good person.
But the matchmaker's other words, "In the future, we will definitely be able to raise our eyebrows, the husband and wife will be harmonious, and they will be happy for a hundred years" but there was a hidden mystery, and Mrs. Xiao didn't hear it.
Anyway, in the first round, it doesn't count, even if she wants to refuse, Mrs. Xiao can't say it to death, Qian Jun doesn't know if she can find it, she offended the matchmaker, what if Wen Jin can't marry in the future?
Seeing off the matchmaker, Mrs. Xiao called Wen Jin to her.
Wen Jin lowered her head, listened to Mrs. Xiao's words, and said with some complaints: "Madame directly rejected her, Prince Ren doesn't even want such a noble identity for me, he doesn't come back for the rest of his life, I won't marry for the rest of my life, this is Jin'er's wish, I hope my mother can be fulfilled." β
"How can this be? Now you are young, you haven't felt it, when you're older, you see that others are affectionate, you are alone, and the days are bleak, so you know what is difficult, listen to your mother's words, wait and wait, you should find your mother-in-law's family, you have to find, maybe you are married, Prince Ren's son died of his heart, and he came back, although he could not have a lover and eventually become a family, but a life was dull, and it was better than wandering the world. β
What kind of theory is this, Wen Jin shook her head: "My daughter has made up her mind, so don't persuade Madame anymore." β
"Okay, when the matchmaker comes again, my mother refuses."
"Hmm!"
Mrs. Xiao agreed, but she still sent someone to quietly inquire why the eldest grandson of the British king was so old and had not yet decided on a marriage, and why she asked to marry Wen Jin at this time.
The news came back soon, the eldest grandson of the British king is a little short, this is some, it is to be put in quotation marks, he is not as tall as Wen Jin, but he has a very high vision, he must be a high-ranking daughter, and he must be beautiful in appearance, and his parents hope to find a tall and capable woman, and there are very few qualifications.
"Isn't this taking advantage of the fire to rob, our Jin'er, will marry such a dwarf winter melon?" Mrs. Xiao was so angry, when the matchmaker came to kiss again, her face was as black as the bottom of the pot, although she didn't dare to get angry, but the refusal was categorical, very simple: "Her father is not at home, I am not a woman in a family, it is not easy to call the shots, please ask the princess of England to find another beauty." β
The matchmaker still said good things at first, hoping to redeem it, but when she waited later, Mrs. Xiao did not let go at all, and she was also a little annoyed: "Mrs. Xiao, Miss Xiao's personality is known to everyone in the capital, even if she is like a peony flower, it has been discounted now, not to mention that the British Prince's Mansion is also a first-class powerful family, and it does not insult her identity." β
"How do you speak? There are many people who are worthy of their status. Madame Xiao frowned unhappily.
"Hehe, Mrs. Xiao, that's what I said, but you also have to see the reality clearly, the princess of England doesn't dislike it, it's already very face-saving, if I were you, I would definitely take advantage of this to step down and marry my daughter, I don't have to wait for the older and older-"
These words were so ugly that Mrs. Xiao was furious, and the maid butterfly beside her immediately took the feather duster inserted in the vase and picked it up: "Get out!" What will happen to my eldest lady in the future, it's not your turn to speak. β
I don't know how the matchmaker will add oil and vinegar when he goes back, anyway, the discussion about Wen Jin outside has reached a new **, so that people who are interested listen to it and have other ideas, a few days after the matchmaker sent by the princess of England left, another person came, a eunuch in the palace, Gonggong Jin.
After the greetings, Father-in-law Jin said, "Our family was entrusted by the queen to propose marriage to Ling Ai." β
Mrs. Xiao didn't even ask who the other party was, so she refused: "The little girl doesn't want to decide on family affairs, and her father-in-law is tired of saying kind words in front of the queen, thank her for her love." β
The old eunuch was very unhappy: "Do you know who it is? Dare to refuse like that. β
Mrs. Xiao saluted again and again in a panic: "Father-in-law, please forgive me, the little girl is very sad, I can't listen to the words of proposing marriage to her, her father is not at home, and my identity is embarrassing, I'm really sorry." β
"Okay, it's not difficult for our family to be for you, please tell Miss Xiao, Uncle Erguo has taken a fancy to her, and she will be hired in a few days, you can prepare."
"How's that going to work? Her father wasn't at home, so she had to say something, right? β
"Okay, let's tell the queen, next month today, come and hire!"
"It's too late for a month!" Mrs. Xiao was really anxious, and stopped the eunuch who wanted to turn around and leave, the two were facing each other, Wen Jin came over, she was with Mrs. Xiao just now to deal with housework, and just now avoided going inside.
"Father-in-law Jin, please tell the queen, Wen Jin has the blue eyes of the mother, it is a great honor, however, the reputation of the woman abroad has been ruined, and she is not worthy of the high gate of the uncle of the country, this matter is absolutely impossible, please tell the queen to the father-in-law, if it is inconvenient, please also ask the father-in-law to speak kindly."
"You dare to refuse the Queen?"
"Father-in-law, it's not a matter of who rejects whom, how can Uncle Guo's marriage be so hasty? Not only must you be the right person, but you must also be happy with each other, so that the husband and wife can be harmonious and the family can prosper, right? As I am now, I don't have the heart to marry someone at all, if my father-in-law forcibly matches, I don't know if it is for the uncle of the country, or for the sake of the uncle of the country? β
Gonggong Jin didn't expect Wen Jin to use reason to make him speechless, and his face changed with anger, but he couldn't speak. When he came out, he didn't go through the queen at all, but was instructed by his uncle. The second son of the Zhou family is not very capable, his eyes are above the top, the wife hired by the family is a woman related to the Qiao family, and now he has hanged himself, leaving three children, plus two more concubines, the high-ranking woman is not willing at all, and he is not angry with the small family, this heard Wen Jin's gossip, thinking that she couldn't get married, so she didn't have to choose, so she sent her sister and the person in front of her to come over to propose.
Eunuch Jin patted his chest and made a promise, but he didn't expect to be rejected as soon as he entered the door, and now, Wen Jin is still talking about this, making it difficult for him to ride a tiger, and he doesn't know what to do.
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Jin, the Xiao Mansion is now in the whirlpool of public opinion, I don't want to cause trouble, please tell Uncle Guo, if you have any ideas, then wait a year to talk about it, in a year, Grandpa Guo may come back, and there are people in charge of the family." What Mrs. Xiao said was very reasonable, and Father-in-law Jin was unwilling, and in the end, he had nothing to say and slipped away.
"Madam, Wen Jin has caused you trouble."
"Good boy, how can you blame this? It's not easy for us women. Mrs. Xiao remembered that she had been resigned from her family back then, and there was a lot of discussion in the small town, and since then, there was an occasional proposal for marriage, and they were all characters who could not be mentioned, and she was angry and said that she would not marry for life, and the years went by year after year, which was very similar to Wen Jin's current situation.
Why does God always have trouble with good women like them, but treats those who speculate and calculate? Mrs. Xiao felt sour in her heart, took Wen Jin's hand, and burst into tears first.
"Madam, my father wrote a letter saying that *** has settled down over there, it is better to let Yuhe intercede in front of the emperor, you go to see where your father is."
"Is this okay?"
"Madam, me, you, and Yuchen, if the three of them don't leave at the same time, the emperor will probably agree."
Mrs. Xiao has always wanted a child, although she knows that it is dangerous to get older, but the desire for the continuation of that bloodline makes her automatically ignore it.
"I'll write a letter to your dad and see if he agrees."
"Okay, when you send the letter, bring mine, and Yuchen's."
Since the second dinner of the whole family, Xiao Yuchen has gone home more often, once in three or five days, and he talked to Wen Jin more and more, when Xiao Yi left, he was reluctant, it seems that he has a certain emotion with his family here.
That evening, Wen Jin showed Xiao Yi's letter to his younger brother: "Daddy is alone, he must be very lonely, let's write more letters, it is also a comfort to him." β
"Good!" Xiao Yuchen hesitated, "I also want to write a letter to the Fan family's father." β
"Okay, if you have time, write more letters, you are there, don't you have two younger brothers? Fan Bo is old, and what he is most worried about must be that his two young sons behind him have no one to take care of, you are close to them, and you have a father to cover you, Fan Bo has something to rely on in his heart. β
"Butβ"
"Don't worry about Daddy, he is also a loving person, I don't know how grateful I should be to Uncle Fan, you did this, not only to repay your own nurturing grace, but also to repay Uncle Fan for saving his son for Daddy."
"Good! Sister, when you say that, I have the bottom in my heart. Xiao Yuchen opened a big smile, Wen Jin's eyes were like a round of rising sun, and his younger brother was really good-looking.
If Qian Jun is good-looking, he is handsome, and Xiao Yuchen is sunny and full of vitality.
There is a saying called "close to you, warm me", Xiao Yuchen's surface gives people such a feeling, Wen Jin feels that his nature is like this, but his fate has changed too much, so he can't laugh for a while.
Wen Jin hopes that the Xiao family is a warm home, the three sisters of Xiao Qiyun have been cultivated by Zhao Yulan to be extremely selfish, and she is powerless to save, but Xiao Yuchen and Mrs. Xiao are both kind people, why don't she unite them, dig out the beauty in them, and create a family atmosphere as happy as possible?
Maybe without Xiao Qiyun, Xiao Juanyun and Xiao Ayayun can slowly change.
Wen Jin wore the first ten years in this world, almost all of them were fighting against poverty, at that time, although she had no parents, she was not lonely and lonely at all, Qian Xiancheng was pedantic and incompetent, but he was very sincere to people, Wei's was better than him, the Qian family also had a Qian Wenhan, smart and tenacious, and he also cared for Wen Jin, and later, in her life, Qian Jun also appeared, and she was deeply in love with herself.
At that time, how happy.
Now, she doesn't worry about eating and drinking, and what she wears every day is the top thing in the world, but she has more worries and less family affection.
Wen Jin never waits to be relied on, she has always believed that a good life should be created by herself, she seriously calmed her heart, carefully analyzed what she gained and lost, and then determined how to live her life in the future.
Qian Jun is gone, but his mind is more frank and more enthusiastic in front of Wen Jin, the two are happy, and they can stay together towards the morning and twilight, of course, it is the best, if they can't stay together, she should also be content. It is not easy to have such a feeling, so what is not satisfied? Wen Jin has decided that she will take good care of it, in that way, Qian Jun will figure it out one day and come back, the two of them live together, even if they are gray and can't walk, talk about now, her efforts, his infatuation, isn't it a kind of happiness? If so, she would have made a trip to this world in vain.
In addition to love, people must have family affection to live, so try to combine the emotions of Mrs. Xiao, herself and Yuchen at home, externally, she has to go back to Qian's house often to see the second uncle, the second aunt, Wen Han, Yanran, Yujie County Lord, as well as Wei Chenglan, Ge Shi, Wei Liangqing, Wei Liangxi.
Wen Jin has a goal in life, and her life is full again, in addition to accompanying Mrs. Xiao every day, on the days when Xiao Yuchen is coming back, she specializes in cooking and cooking, and also goes to Qian's house every ten days and eight days.
Seeing Wen Jin's face, which became rosy day by day, and her eyes became darker, Lord Yujie was relieved, and behind her back, she muttered to Mrs. Xiao: "Jin'er, this child, has finally survived, I'm really afraid she won't be able to stand it." β
"Yes, I've been worried, but now I just don't know where Prince Ren's son is."
"Pity such a good child, God doesn't have long eyes." Lord Yujie is still easily sad, "She still said, do you want to wait?" β
"Well, Jin'er said, to meet such a good man, I don't know how many lifetimes it will take to cultivate, she just guards, and it is better than living a lifetime with a man who shares a bed and dreams."
After the county lord of Yujie sighed, he couldn't help but envy: "Yes, there are so many people in this world, it is really difficult to find such an infatuated man as Prince Ren's son, who is willing to give up his family and business for Jin'er." ββ¦β¦
Just like in this world, where there are flowers, there are poisonous weeds, and there are bees and flies, Wen Jin's days are not only beautiful, but occasionally a few bed bugs will crawl out.
On this day, Xiao Qiyun sent someone to send a letter to his family, saying that he was coming to visit Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao married to the capital and never returned to her parents' home, although Hongyan passed the book, but the concern for her mother's family, only a few words to comfort how can it be done? Therefore, she felt that she still understood Xiao Qiyun's mood, so she found an excuse and sent someone to send a message to Mrs. Liu, saying that she would take Xiao Qiyun back in two days.
Women in this era are really pitiful, married women can't go back to their parents' homes casually, they must be picked up by their parents' families, and they have to get the approval of their mother-in-law.
Madame Liu unceremoniously rejected Madame Xiao's request, and as soon as the servant came back to report, Madame Xiao was so angry that she wanted to smash the cup. "Madam-" Wen Jin comforted, "We have nothing to do this time, we were rejected if we were rejected, and if we have something to do next time, wouldn't it be easy to say?" I don't believe she dared to refuse us. Daddy wrote to say that Liu Guangzhong didn't pose any threat to him at all, Mrs. Liu was just arrogant and domineering, she thought that the woman's parents had to be afraid of the male family, hum, forced to be ruthless, Daddy made a little move, so that their Liu family couldn't eat and walk. β
