Wen Yi returned to the house in Cannes, saw her grandmother, brothers and sisters, and talked about some family things, so she sent someone to send a letter to her eldest aunt Jiang Shi, mentioning the news that Luo Mingmin had arrived. Luo Mingmin is now married to Jiang Yao, and he is Jiang's niece and son-in-law, so he should inform her.

Jiang soon ordered someone to reply and said that he knew, Luo Mingmin had already sent someone to send a letter over, but Jiang Yao had not yet arrived, maybe when she came, he would have already reviewed the village, and when the time came, he would ask Mrs. Lu and Wen Yi in the sixth room to take care of her.

Wen Yi heard this and asked Mrs. Lu: "Grandmother, is the eldest aunt going to review the village?" ”

Mrs. Lu said: "It's almost time, the family sent a letter before, saying that your uncle and grandmother are already on the way, and they will arrive in about ten days." Since the mother-in-law has returned, how can the daughter-in-law not go back to greet her? No matter how big the resentment in your heart is, it is unreasonable for your aunt to fall into the eyes of the clansmen. ”

Wen Yi frowned: "That...... On the Han family's side, I don't know how the eldest aunt is talking? Anyway, the two have been going back and forth for a few days, right? ”

Old Madam Lu sighed: "I haven't decided yet, but I think it should be seven or eight points that can be done." Mrs. Han and your aunt see each other once in three or two days, and your aunt has brought her to sit with me twice, I think Mrs. Han is very happy in her heart, and she praises your sixth sister without words. Although Han Gongzi is not enthusiastic, he has no intention of objecting, and he has accompanied him to visit your aunt three or two times these days. But even if both families are willing, it depends on what your aunt and uncle mean, so your aunt doesn't dare to say it too clearly. ”

Wen Yi was puzzled: "Could it be that the eldest aunt never mentioned a word to the eldest uncle?" How does this work? If you want to be engaged, you have to have the nod of your uncle, otherwise you won't be able to do it even if you change the Geng post. I saw that although the eldest uncle was angry with the sixth sister, he had long lost the intention of letting her climb the high gate. The Han family has a good family background, and Han Gongzi also has a good reputation, no matter his character and reputation, he is an old relative in Pingyang, and he can really do family things, and it is not bad for the eldest uncle. The eldest uncle is not an unreasonable person, and he will not object. Why didn't the aunt mention it to him? ”

Mrs. Lu shook her head: "I don't understand what she means, I have reminded her a few times before, she promised to tell her at the time, but then there was no follow-up, and when I asked her again, I prevaricated, and I don't know what she was thinking." If the marriage is not decided as soon as possible, and when her mother-in-law comes back, if she has other ideas, won't it harm the child? ”

Wen Yi was a little angry in her heart, she only felt that although the Jiang family loved her daughter, she was always unreliable, if she really wanted to set the son-in-law of the Han family, what was the use of just blindly associating with other people's parents? If you don't put things on the table and make up your mind, there will always be a time for you to change your mind. To be honest, as soon as she got the news that Mrs. Yu was going to come back from Beijing, she should send someone to send a letter, as long as Mrs. Yu left the capital on the front foot, the family would send the letter to Master Gu on the back foot, and she was afraid that Mrs. Yu would be able to do bad things from it? Master Gu would never look forward to his daughter not being able to marry for the rest of his life, he nodded, and the family immediately returned to Pingyang, which means that the old lady arrived home from the waterway slowly, and the family affairs were already settled, and it was useless for her to object. As it is now, seeing that everyone is coming back, the Jiang family is still struggling, and they are not afraid that the old lady will tell Master Gu in the capital in advance about Wen Hui's family affairs, and as soon as she comes back, she will send Wen Hui into the fire pit

Thinking of this, Wen Yi couldn't sit still: "I have been gone for two months, and I saw a letter from home that only said that everything was going well, and that the eldest aunt had already made a calculation in her heart, she never thought that she would be confused in such a big event, but she was afraid that the eldest uncle still hated the sixth sister for setting fire to resist marriage?" But the family affair is done, and it is not harmful to the eldest uncle, the eldest uncle has been in the officialdom for many years, doesn't he even understand this truth? The eldest aunt has been stubborn for a long time, hasn't she hurt the sixth sister? Although the sixth sister has many shortcomings, she will not have to pay for a lifetime, no, I have to go to the eldest aunt to talk about it. ”

Mrs. Lu thought about it, and said, "You don't have to go, let people call her over, she has six girls there, it's not good to talk about this." When she comes, if she is still confused, I will scold her for you. Can she not take your junior's words to heart, can she still not sell my account? Wen Yi responded with a smile, and immediately sent someone to invite Jiang's family.

The house rented by the Jiang family was actually not far away, but in half an hour, she brought Wen Hui over, and for unknown reasons, she was still there and said with a smile: "What is the matter with my aunt calling me?" But I was happy to see my granddaughter back, and I wanted the family to set up two tables of wine and have a lively time? It just so happened that Mrs. Han told me about a newly opened restaurant in the city, which made exquisite dishes that could not be found elsewhere, so why not hire his cook? It's good to let my niece and niece and son-in-law taste the freshness, but it's pitiful, I've been in the ravine for so long and have suffered a lot, right? ”

After Wen Hui saluted, she said to her: "Mother, don't always think that the ninth sister and the ninth brother-in-law are so poor, no matter how bitter the place is, the ninth sister also has the ability to live a comfortable life, don't underestimate her." ”

Jiang smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, I said it wrong." He also took Wen Yi's hand, "Good aunt, don't blame your aunt for speaking recklessly." ”

Wen Yi turned her head and glanced at Old Madam Lu, only to feel that the Jiang family seemed to be extremely happy today, and she didn't know what good things she had encountered, even if she was in a good mood in the past, she had never seen her so excited, what happened?

Old Madam Lu was silent, and Wen Yi smiled and asked, "Did the eldest aunt encounter any happy events today?" He seems to be extraordinarily radiant, at least ten years younger than he used to be."

Jiang Shi covered his mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled: "Where is it?" are all old, what do you say radiant? It's just that I'm afraid that I will come to see my aunt with an unkempt face, which is too rude, so I wiped some powder before going out. ”

It's not normal, it's really abnormal, Wen Yi is more and more sure that something has happened.

Wen Hui gently smoothed the small wrinkles on the cuffs, glanced at Wen Yi, and then turned her head to Jiang Shi and chuckled: "Mother, if you continue to be verbose, I'm afraid that the sixth uncle and grandmother will be impatient." What is there to hide from the sixth uncle and grandmother and the ninth sister? They are not outsiders, and their daughters were down, thanks to their help. ”

Jiang Shi suddenly realized and hurriedly smiled, but he couldn't stop the smile on the corner of his mouth, and what he said was apologetic: "Look at me, I'm confused for a while, I should be beaten, don't be surprised if I should beat my aunt and niece." As he spoke, he stood up and saluted.

Old Madam Lu was a little confused, and hurriedly asked Wen Yi to step forward and hold the person, frowning and asking, "Let's make it clear first, what's going on?" What do you blame us? ”

Jiang Shi smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm really happy and confused." Only then did he smile and said, "A few days ago, thanks to my aunt for reminding me, otherwise I would only care about interacting with the Han family, but I forgot about the master." Although I am Hui'er's mother-in-law, her father is still there, and he can't nod his head, even if I look after others for my daughter, I can't do anything. But I'm afraid that the old lady is still angry, and I'm even more afraid that the old lady will be annoyed and will complain about Hui'er in front of the master, so I don't dare to send the letter back to Beijing——"

Wen Yi was overjoyed when she heard it: "Auntie, did you send the letter back to Beijing?" His heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Shi is happy to be like this, presumably there is good news in Beijing.

Jiang sighed: "I was looking forward and backward at that time, I wanted to persuade the master to agree, but I was afraid that the master would refuse and there would be no room for maneuver, and I really couldn't do anything, and suddenly remembered what my ninth nephew told me that I still had something to rely on from my mother's family, so I wrote a letter to the Jinnan brothers and asked him for an idea." Thanks to my early writing of this letter, two days after my brother received the letter, he received a summons from the imperial court to go to Beijing, and wrote back to me before leaving, telling me to wait for the news with peace of mind, and he will help our mother and daughter when he arrives in the capital. He planned to marry his daughter and son-in-law in Beijing, and Luo's niece and son-in-law had studied at Cannes Academy, so he regarded it as a thread from it, and the Jiang family had a reason to intervene. Since then, I have been looking forward to his letter from the capital every day, and finally waited for the old man to say, this family business is excellent, but he is inconvenient in the capital, and asked me to act cheaply, but don't be too public, marry within the year, and tell me not to forget to take Hui'er home, kowtow to the old lady too much, and ask the old lady to forgive Hui'er for the absurdity of the past. ”

Wen Yi understood: "Could it be that after Brother Luo arrived in Cannes, he immediately sent someone to tell the eldest aunt that it was because of ......?"

Jiang Shi nodded, his eyes reddened: "In the past, I always disliked this brother, but now I already know that blood is thicker than water, no matter what I do in the Gu family, I will never be able to leave my mother's family." In the past, when I was in good times, my brother did not benefit from me, but now I am in trouble, but he has helped me a lot without saying a word. If Hui'er can marry her lover smoothly, I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life."

Wen Yi sighed in her heart, and Wen Hui said: "Mother, don't cry, I also had a lot of mistakes in the past." I never imagined that Uncle Xiao and Sister Yao were such kind people, although they were separated by one layer, they were stronger than their own flesh and blood. Let's remember their goodness in the future, and get close to them a lot. ”

"You're right." Jiang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and raised his head with a smile, "Speaking of which, I would have thanked my ninth nephew and daughter, if it weren't for your reminder, I would still be as confused as before, far away from my mother's brother, and I would never take the initiative to write a letter to show goodwill, how could I get such a generous reward?" It's all your credit. ”

Wen Yi smiled: "I just said it casually, thanks to the kindness of the Jiang family, otherwise the sixth sister would not have this blessing." Uncle Jiang is really a gentleman. ”

Old Madam Lu also nodded: "Since Uncle Jiang has helped a lot, the eldest daughter-in-law should remember that in the future, when the Jiang family or the Yao girl and his wife encounter difficulties, you can help more." Where we can, we should support each other, which is the way for relatives to get along. ”

Jiang Shi hurriedly got up and responded: "My nephew and daughter-in-law must follow my aunt's teachings. ”

Since Master Gu nodded, there was hope for Wen Hui's relationship with the Han family, even if there were still ten days of hard work for the old lady to come back, the Jiang family was not very afraid. The marriage event is the order of the parents, and Mrs. Yu is the grandmother, so she naturally has to lean back. She discussed with Mrs. Lu when it would be more appropriate to propose marriage to the Han family.

Seeing this, Wen Yi gave Wen Hui a look, got up and said to her grandmother and Jiang: "Grandmother and eldest aunt have something to discuss, so I won't bother, why don't you ask my sister to accompany me back to the room to talk?" I haven't seen you for a few days, I wonder how my sister is doing lately? Jiang Shi was stunned and smiled a little embarrassedly, and Mrs. Lu said, "Go ahead, Kang'er will finish writing her homework in a while, and you will take a look for me." ”

Wen Yi Wenhui agreed, quit the room, and faintly heard Jiang Shi say to Mrs. Lu: "The nephew and daughter-in-law mean that someone should go to the Han family first to find out what they mean, if the Han family takes the initiative to come to the door to propose, our family's face will look better." What does my aunt think of the four siblings? I remember that her sister-in-law and the Han family seem to be old relatives......"

Wen Yi returned to the side room where she lived, the girls had already cleaned up the bed, the room was cleaned, and Dong Kui brought hot tea again. Wen Yi personally poured a cup of tea for Wen Hui with the pot, looked at her expression again, and said with a smile: "Sister looks very calm, she must be confident about this family business?" My sister is also happy for my sister. ”

Wen Hui said lightly: "I don't know if it will work out or not." I am indeed very happy that the master is willing to let me live, but things are not yet certain, who knows what will happen? ”

Wen Yi was a little surprised: "What? I listened to the eldest aunt's tone, the Han family had no intention of objecting, and now the eldest uncle also nodded, why did my sister say this? ”

Wen Hui pursed her lips: "I'm not a roundworm in Han Tianshuang's stomach, how do you know if he will agree to this family business?" He has always followed the way of a gentleman, and even if he doesn't like it in his heart, he won't speak ill of me. Maybe he just doesn't say it, but in his heart he is reluctant? ”

Wen Yi heard more and more strangely, and wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he closed his mouth again, smiled and said: "I heard that he is a very thoughtful person, and the eldest aunt and the wife of the Han family have a secret relationship, what does it mean, the two families know it in their hearts." If he didn't want to, he would have mentioned it to his family a long time ago, how could Mrs. Han be so close to her aunt? My sister was too worried. ”

Wen Hui glanced at her: "Actually, you are strange in your heart, right?" In my temper, if I had this doubt in my heart, I would have thought of meeting him in private, or would I have corresponded to him and inquired about his thoughts? I'll tell you the truth, I did have this idea at first, but then I thought that he had always acted openly and honestly, and he thought he had nothing to do. If I had done this, would I not be calculating against him? I've done this once last time, but fortunately I didn't let outsiders know, and if I do it again, if I do, it will hurt his reputation. Therefore, I didn't find him, but a few days ago, when Mrs. Han was there, I found an excuse to break up and said something to Mrs. Han. ”

Wen Yi blinked, with some bad premonitions: "What did you say to Mrs. Han?" ”

"It's what I used to do." Wen Hui said lightly, "For example, the events during the civil unrest, the messy entanglements in the capital, almost getting engaged to my cousin, but there was a change, etc., as well as the fact that I set fire to the house, and the origin of the scar on my face, all of them." I told Mrs. Han that although my family didn't want to spread these things, paper couldn't contain the fire, and there must be some rumors in Pingyang, and my reputation had long been ruined. Rather than let their families know nothing and have a thorn in their hearts, it would be better for me to tell everything and be open and honest. Marriage is a lifelong event, and the good family affairs obtained by concealing it will not last long after all. If he dislikes me after knowing the truth, I will not complain. It's better than becoming a husband and wife in the future, he knows the truth, but he can't regret it, then he not only misunderstands him, but also misunderstands me. ”

Wen Yi looked at Wen Hui and was speechless for a while.
