Chapter 275: Suddenly realized

Wen Yi saw that Duan Kerou just lowered her head and wept, and didn't speak for a long time, thinking that she was hesitating in her heart, so she persuaded again: "The second aunt is your aunt, and you have been raised by her side for more than a year, and you are very popular with her on weekdays. Even if you occasionally get into trouble and make your second aunt angry, she still takes you with her to teach, which shows how much she cares about you. Sister Duan, if you have any thoughts about your marriage, instead of rejecting your second aunt's proposal every time, you should take the initiative to tell her what kind of family you want to marry. Although it is difficult for you to mention this as a girl, your aunt and nephew are close relatives, so there are not so many taboos. ”

Duan Kerou bit her lip, a stubborn look appeared between her eyebrows, and she still didn't speak.

Wen Yi frowned, remembering that she had a good relationship with herself in her previous life, if she didn't want her to stop ending up as miserable in her previous life, she wouldn't have to be so bitter, but looking at her appearance, it seems that she has already decided that the second aunt Duan will not think about her, how can people persuade her? Wen Yi had to be a little tougher: "Sister Duan, there is one thing you have to think clearly, the fifth sister will marry into the Liu family in less than ten days." Whether it is the Liu family or the Gu family, several families who will not change their minds are related to each other, they are all relatives, and you and the fifth sister are cousins, don't you look forward to her well? ”

Duan Kerou's face turned pale, and she looked at Wen Yi in horror, her lips trembling slightly.

Wen Yi saw that she was scared, and she thought about it, and she heard the warning in her words, so she slowed down her expression: "Don't be afraid, there are many good families in Beijing, which are not comparable to the Liu family and the Wan family, but they are not comparable to small families." You just have to tell your second aunt what you think, and she will take care of it for you. ”

Duan Kerou bit her lip, lowered her head and whispered quickly: "Sister understands, thank you sister for your ......advice" After saying this, she curtsied, but left without looking back. Xiao Li hurriedly followed, and glanced at Wen Yi with resentful eyes.

Wen Yi couldn't cry or laugh a little, stood where she was and calmed down, and walked into the courtyard after a while.

Duan sat in the main hall with a straight face, listening to the fact that the jade moth replied to Wen Xian's dowry box that there were two less, and when he saw Wen Yi come in, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Grandma Jiu is here?" I've been so busy these two days that I can't find time to talk to you, and now you're also a grandmother, married, and you're better than before. ”

Wen Yi blushed slightly, and saluted: "The second aunt praised it falsely. You have a lot of opportunities, and your niece is embarrassed to disturb. The two sat down, asked the girl to serve tea, and exchanged a few words, Wen Yi asked: "When I entered the door, I saw Sister Kerou running out crying, and almost bumped into me, and asked her what was wrong, but because her clan told her a family affair that was not very satisfactory, she was afraid. I persuaded her to confess to my second aunt what she thought, but looking at her appearance, she didn't seem to understand. ”

Duan sighed, and the smile on his face was also put away: "That family business is really not good, let alone Kerou's child, even when I listen to it, I don't think it's like words." asked the person who came to deliver the letter, and said that it was the thread drawn by her aunt's relatives, and if Kerou couldn't find a good family in Beijing, there would be no way to push it. As an aunt, no matter how sorry my niece is, it is not easy to wring it with my mother's family, after all, I am already married. ”

Wen Yi's heart moved, and she raised her eyes to look at her: "So, the second aunt doesn't approve of that family affair either?" ”

Duan smiled bitterly: "Of course I don't approve of it, but the people I looked for, but the girl refused to respond to any of them, so how could she drag her mother's family to say goodbye to her?" Speaking of this, she gritted her teeth a little, "Kerou, that girl, I don't know what I'm thinking all day long, her eyes are only on the young masters from those decent families, why don't you want to think about what kind of family background she is?" Our Gu family has been scholarly for generations, and there are several officials in the clan, and they dare not say that they will definitely be able to climb like that, your fifth sister can marry Brother Ning, and it is already in the face of Aunt Liu's third aunt's wife, not to mention the daughter of the Duan family? Nine girls, you are out of the cabinet, and I am not afraid to tell you these words. I know what my mother's identity is, but when I married your second uncle, the dignity of the Duan family was still there, and now, even King Kang's Mansion is gone, which onion does the Duan family have? It's Mrs. Wan's brother, and it's also because I'm good at talking, so I fought for Kerou, but that girl doesn't know what to do, and it's been a waste of my hard work."

Seeing this, Wen Yi couldn't say anything, lowered her head and held the tea bowl and sipped it, and after a while, seeing that she was a little calmer, she put down the tea bowl and said, "I heard that the official media came to tell Sister Duan about a family before?" ”

Duan wiped away his tears and nodded: "The eldest young master of the Huangshang District family, he is eighteen years old this year, although he is born in the second room, he is a lone seedling, he has studied for two years since he was a child, and he has been practicing with the district master for a few years, I heard that he is very capable, and the district master also handed over the two shops at home to him to take care of." It's just that the young master in this district looks more ordinary, and he prefers to marry a wife with a good family background, so the marriage has not been decided. On that day, I took Kerou to Liu's house, met a noble person on the way, the carriage stopped, Kerou lifted the curtain to see the scenery outside, and was stopped by me, but only for a short while, I asked the young master of the district to see the appearance, and inquired about our relatives, and sent the official media to come and propose. I was busy with your eldest brother's marriage at the time, and I didn't care about it for a while, so I asked the official media to leave a post, and only when I got free did I ask someone to inquire, I thought it was good, I thought it was going to go down, but I didn't know where to hear the rumors, and I ran over to cry Now I am discouraged, no matter how much I do, I can't please her, if she is really hard-hearted, and wants to go against my aunt, I don't want to worry about her anymore."

Wen Yi hurriedly asked, "What rumors has Sister Duan heard?" Maybe the young master of that district is also unsatisfactory? ”

Duan Shi snorted: "What can be unsatisfactory? Outside, it is said that most of the people in this area are able-bodied, tall and strong, and the people are also shrewd, very talented in business, and have no vices. It's just because Mrs. Ou is pregnant again, and there are rumors that she is going to give birth to a sister-in-law, and Master Ou can no longer inherit the family business. But Mrs. Ou is almost forty years old, and she has given birth to three daughters in a row before, and I don't know if this child is a boy or a girl, but what if she really gave birth to a son-in-law? The young master of the district is already an adult, only eighteen years old, and he has already managed two shops, and he will go out separately in the future, and he will not worry about not making a living, and he is a concubine and a businessman, if Kerou marries in the past, there is the Gu family behind him, and he is not afraid that he will bully Kerou with his wealth. If you really can't inherit the name of the imperial merchant, it's a good thing. Who knows what that girl thinks? After a pause, he lowered his voice and said to Wen Yi: "Nine girls, the second aunt won't hide it from you, if it weren't for your second uncle planning to be an official, and your eldest uncle is like this, I still want to marry the ten girls." Say, "Am I not good enough for this niece?" ”

Wen Yi laughed dryly. The second aunt is really good to Kerou, if this marriage is really as she said, there is really nothing bad, although that person is a concubine, but he is also shrewd and capable and has a family background, except for his background, there is nothing to criticize. And Wen Yi herself has no idea about the so-called inheritance of the family business, Liu Dongxing was almost poor and white at the beginning, she was willing to marry, not to mention that the family in this district still has admiration for Duan Kerou?

Thinking of this, Wen Yi persuaded Duan: "Did the second aunt tell Sister Duan these words?" The niece and nephew don't seem to know the truth here, and the rumors about the young master in that district are also from the Miss Shen family, thinking that the Miss Shen family is just a weak girl, how much can she know about the outside world? Maybe there's a misunderstanding? ”

Duan frowned: "The Ou family is in the silk business, and the young master of the Ou family has contacts with many official eunuchs in Beijing, and it is not surprising that the Shen family knows, but the Shen family is an official, and Miss Shen is the eldest daughter, so naturally they don't look down on him." I didn't know that Kerou heard about it from her, and I wanted to tell the story of the district family in detail, but as soon as Kerou heard that I intended to agree, she couldn't stop crying, and I was annoyed by her crying, so I didn't bother to explain. If it was a misunderstanding, it was no wonder that she refused to agree no matter what I said. Speaking of this, she was a little angry: "This girl is really unconscious, she is really disgusted, and she has to listen to my words and then cry without being late, what's wrong with the concubine?" As long as he is capable, it may not be worse than his wife, not to mention, if the eldest young master of this district is really from his wife, Mrs. District may not be willing to send the official media to the door to propose marriage."

Duan's face sank, and the jade moth standing next to him didn't dare to come out, at this time, the jade fly came in from outside the door and saluted: "Madam, the tonic soup that was just sent to Miss Fifth was returned by Miss Five......" Duan slapped the coffee table suddenly: "If she doesn't drink it, forget it, send it every day, return it every day, is it possible that I drugged the tonic soup and wanted to poison her?" If one or two are not worry-free, it is ** broken heart, who will read me well? ”

Jade Fei was startled, her eyes flickered: "Mrs. ......" Jade Moth stepped forward: "Don't be angry, Madam, maybe it's too hot, and Miss Fifth has no appetite." The slave maid went to mention it to the Ruyi girl in the old lady's house, and asked her to persuade the fifth lady, right? ”

"No need," Duan snorted coldly, "Fifth Miss is a coquettish now, and she will get married in a few days, why should I make her unhappy at this time?" She is now rich, but I am afraid that the girl in the old lady's house will not be able to persuade her."

The jade moth and the jade fly didn't dare to say anything more, Wen Yi saw that the scene was a little embarrassing, so she got up with a dry smile and found an excuse and left.

As she walked out, she was still wondering in her heart, what happened to Duan's and Wen Xian? When they were in Guzhuang in the past, they obviously got along very well? She had the heart to ask Wen Xian, but she remembered Wen Xian's temper, so she couldn't ask, so she had to dispel this idea, thinking that there would be some contradictions between stepmothers and stepdaughters, right?

Wen Yi stopped a passing girl and asked where Kerou was now, and when she learned that she had just gone to Wen Xian's place, she said that it was a coincidence, and turned to Wen Xian's yard.

The courtyard was quiet, Jiang Yao and Wen Juan didn't seem to be there, only three or two girls were sleeping under the shade of the trees, and there was no one in the house. Wen Yi took the girl all the way through the hall, saw the waiter with the two little girls doing needlework there, looked up and saw her, so she got up and saluted.

Wen Yi smiled and asked, "Why are you here?" The waiter said: "It's cooler here than in the courtyard, and it's windy." The slave was about to make a few purses, so she did it here. Wen Yi asked again: "What about the fifth sister?" The waiter replied, "In the house, Miss Biao has been here for a while, and she is talking." Shiqin and Qiushui waited in the house. ”

Wen Yi saw that the needlework she made was a red hijab, embroidered with mandarin ducks, not gorgeous, but extremely delicate, and then saw that her face was flushed, so she guessed that she made it for herself. Wen Xian's girl, except for the servant who wants to marry, the others are all newly filled, and several old ones have to be matched.

Wen Yi left a girl here to talk to Shi Qi and others, and she went to the backyard house alone along the verandah to find Wen Xian, and only then did she go to the window, and she heard Wen Xian talking in the house: "...... Sister doesn't need to say any more, I know you're doing it for my good, but this family affair is decided, what can I say? Cousin Liu and his sixth sister have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they have a deep friendship, I have known it for a long time, but he is unwilling to marry his sixth sister, can I still force him? The matter of marriage is the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker are not something that I can discuss as a girl? Besides, now it is me who is about to marry Cousin Liu, although I feel a little wronged, but I will not disobey the orders of my parents, and in the future, as long as I do my duty, I think he will also give me a respect. How many couples in the world knew each other before they got married? It is already a great blessing for me to be able to marry someone who knows the roots. ”

When Wen Yi heard this, she couldn't help but recite a sentence of Buddha in her heart, and then she was a little annoyed: What did Kerou say that would lead to Wen Xian's words?

I only heard Kerou say in a slightly frightened voice: "Fifth sister, I don't mean anything else, I just heard other people's discussions, and I felt aggrieved for my sister in my heart......"

Wen Xian chuckled: "I know, good sister, these days, only you are willing to accompany me and relieve me, I miss your love in my heart, and I won't think crooked." ”

Ke Rou was silent for a while, and then said: "My sister already has an idea, and my sister doesn't have much to say, but I'm still worried in my heart...... Although the Liu family took the initiative to propose to their sister, this may not be what Cousin Liu meant, otherwise he would not have been sick. Yesterday...... Although he fainted in front of everyone, everyone said that it was because of his weak body, but just by looking at his face when he watched the ceremony later, he knew that it was ...... At that time, he fainted because of him, and everyone didn't mention the sixth sister again, so do you know that he didn't do it on purpose? The sixth sister is not here, he would rather make Mrs. Liu worry than faint, how can the sister not be worried? What's more, I heard something from the eldest lady of the Liu family that day......"

Wen Xian seemed a little nervous: "What's the matter?" ”

"Say yes...... Cousin Liu was at home, and he got rid of all the girls who used to serve him, and replaced them with a few new ones, all of them looked a little like the sixth sister, and the two who looked the most like were also taken in, these two girls were tricky, and they also slandered in front of Cousin Liu, saying that if it weren't for his sister, the sixth sister would have married him a long time ago......"

Bang - someone in the room seems to have broken the cup. Outside the house, Wen Yi clenched her fists tightly, and there was a thought in her heart that was about to break through the ground-

Kerou was still crying: "Fifth sister, why are you and my sisters so miserable? I was forced by my relatives to marry someone who was unbearable, and your fiancé treated you like this......".
