Old Madam Yu listened to her son's words, and was a little surprised: "How could you ......" immediately remembered Wen An, and said lightly: "Xiao Qi told you again, right?" He had already mentioned it to me on the way, but to be honest...... she paused, "Although the Liu family is good, it is still not as good as the Luo family." You only say that the Luo family is too far away, but you don't know that there are benefits in the distance. It is precisely because Guihai City is far away from the capital and Pingyang that the news is not so easy to spread, and the Luo family will not know about the six girls. This pair of six girls, for our family, is beneficial and harmless. Although the Luo family is said to be an imperial businessman, it is not as decent as the official eunuchs, but its status is stable, and it is quite faceable in the palace, and the family is rich. She looked at her son, hoping that he could understand her hard work, "I thought about it again and again before deciding on the Luo family." The sixth girl is my granddaughter, I will only think about her, and the other identities are decent...... All in second"

Master Gu felt a little uncomfortable, and his mother's words were ...... It seems to imply that he chooses a son-in-law for his daughter, and only values his decent status, but does not think about his children. Thinking of Wen Anti's reason, and then thinking about Brother-in-law Liu's attitude towards him in recent days...... He still opened his mouth: "The family chosen by my mother is naturally appropriate." The child just thinks ...... The Naluo family never mentioned that they wanted to propose to Wen Hui, but they were ...... is more optimistic about Wen Juan's niece, probably because he also thinks that Qi Da is not a coincidence. No matter how good his children are, after all, they are white, and their father and brother identities are not obvious. We mentioned Wen Hui, how could they not be suspicious? And those who are far away will send people to inquire about the girl's reputation and temperament, and it will not be good if they hear some rumors. If the family affair failed, Wen Hui's matter spread to Guihai City, thousands of miles away, and what was even more terrifying was that the Luo family's business was all over the world......"

Old Madam Yu's face changed, and she couldn't help but hesitate. She really didn't expect that...... With the family background of the Luo family, if you can get married to the daughter of the servant, even if you happily agree, you will think about it a few times in your heart, right? She wants her granddaughter to live a prosperous life after marriage, and she is not burdened by rumors, and even the candidate for her grandson-in-law has specially selected someone who grew up in an enlightened place and has an open-minded nature, but after all, the Luo family is a generation of imperial businessmen, and they are the most shrewd, where is it so easy to hide it? There is a Luo family's trading house in Pingyang City, I don't know if I heard some rumors at that time......

Seeing the change in the expression on his mother's face, Master Gu knew that she had been shaken, and hurriedly said: "Although the Liu family knows the inside story, after all, they are close relatives to our family, and Dongning and Wenhui grew up together, they know each other well, and their feelings are harmonious. That thing...... Although it is a stain on her life, if she marries Dongning, she will have no trouble. The son thought that when Dongning had a fame, he would find a vacancy for him and let them go to a farther place to live a few years of leisure, and then return to Beijing. At that time, the original insider should have forgotten about the matter, the two children have children, and Wen Hui's position is more stable. ”

Old Madam Yu frowned: "Although your idea is good, I'm afraid that the Liu family won't agree." You also said just now that your sister is in a bad situation at home, and your brother-in-law is taking care of our family...... It's not that he is a little estranged, but I'm afraid that he may not be willing to marry another Gu family girl, let alone what happened to the sixth girl, he thinks he knows. ”

Master Gu said busily: "Having said that, my son heard that his nephew was going to choose another wife for his sister, and he was seriously ill, and now even his homework has been wasted, and his brother-in-law is very angry about this. Now we only say that Dongning is willing to marry Wen Hui, and he will naturally be cured without medicine. Besides, since the brother-in-law is informed, he should also understand that Wen Hui did not suffer a big loss that day, and it is very likely that he will accept it for the sake of the child. ”

Old Madam Yu was silent for a while before she sighed: "Then you can find an opportunity to test his tone." Don't make it too clear, if he refuses, there will be no room for things to turn around. ”

Master Gu nodded: "Mother rest assured, my son knows how to do it." He seemed to be secretly relieved, and suddenly remembered another thing: "Now the sixth girl seems to be a little stubborn, I am afraid that when she hears about this, she will commit a bullish nature, and she will deliberately do bad things, and ask her mother to admonish her more." ”

Old Madam Yu said lightly: "The matter hasn't been done yet, tell her what to do?" Just hide it from her, and when the family matter is settled, it's not too late to mention it to her. Don't tell your daughter-in-law about this, she has the most soft ears, and if she accidentally leaks her mouth, it will be troublesome. But you'd better not mention it to Aunt Yu, so as to save her from bad things."

Master Gu said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, Aunt Yu has always understood proportion, even if she knows, she won't talk nonsense." "Actually," he paused, "actually...... Before knowing Wen Hui's thoughts, his son originally had other ideas and wanted to marry Wen Ya to the Liu family. ”

Old Madam Yu was surprised: "Elegant? Who to marry? She is only twelve years old, and there are several sisters above, how can you have such thoughts? ”

Master Gu sighed: "It's not because my sister is useless because of her, my son is afraid that he will be separated from his brother-in-law, I think of his youngest son Dong Qiao who is sick this time, his body is damaged, much weaker than ordinary people, and I am afraid that it will be a little difficult in the future in terms of heirs." So the son thought...... If our family marries a daughter, it can be regarded as making up for my sister's sins. Wen Ya often goes to Liu's house on weekdays, and her brother-in-law has seen it, and he is also a little moved. She is only one year older than Dong Qiao, and both of them are concubines, but they are still worthy. But now that there is Wen Hui, there is no need to mention this. ”

Old Madam Yu frowned, and she was a little wary of Aunt Yu in her heart. Wenya is a concubine, and no matter how good the family affairs are in the future, it will be limited, but if she marries the young son born to Aunt Bai, who is very favored by the Liu family, she will suffer a loss on the surface, and the Liu family may call Aunt Yu's mother and son to win over the daughter-in-law in the future

Thinking of this, she sank her face: "Speaking of our Gu family and the Liu family's family affairs, isn't there another one?" Your sister didn't mention it to you? ”

Master Gu was stunned for a moment, and then slowly remembered: "Mother is saying...... Is the marriage between the ninth niece of the sixth room and the eldest nephew of her brother-in-law? Although you mentioned it in your letter earlier, when my son talked to his brother-in-law, he didn't seem to know about it. After a pause, "He got angry with his sister again for this......"

Mrs. Yu snorted coldly: "So your sister is confused This family matter is my idea for her, at that time, the sixth room has not had a step-heir, and the family property is still in the public school, Jiu Yatou is an only daughter, there is no parental protection, no brother support, only one grandmother, she is old, fortunately, she has some talents, can manage the family, and can keep the business." I see that she has a good appearance and temperament, and your seventh brother was famous before his death, and he is worthy of the child of the Liu family. If the family affair is completed, although the child of the Liu family can get a good wife, there is no wife to help him, and it will be beneficial to your sister and brother-in-law and the Dongning family in the future. Your sister originally promised well, but she didn't know what kind of confusion she made, but she actually didn't admit it, and I had to cover it up for her in front of your sixth aunt. This time, Liufang also made up his mind, and he wanted to make things clear and settled, so that he wouldn't be able to say it clearly in the future, so he entrusted me. Ming'er, you will send a letter to your sister, I don't care what she thinks, I must make sure that the family affairs cannot be repeated."

Master Gu asked, "Doesn't the sixth room have an heir now?" Is it a hindrance? ”

Old Madam Yu smiled slightly: "It's just a child, and his body is weak, whether he can raise it or not is another matter." It's really grown up, and it's a matter of ten or twenty years later. It's just that if the sixth room has an heir, it can get back the family property, and the nine girls have an extra dowry, which is cheaper for Liu Dongxing. But it's nothing, he wants to take the martial arts test and get out of the army, and the sixth room can't help him, I'm afraid that he will have to rely on him to take care of it."

Master Gu said with a smile: "In this case, this family matter is not important, another day when my son is free, I will take it with my brother-in-law." He must also be happy to see this family business done," but he laughed and said: "Even so, one is the nephew in the next room, and the other is the niece in the next room. On the brother-in-law's side, there is also a little estrangement from that nephew, if we want to continue to be friendly with the Liu family, we still have to rely on Wen Hui's family business. ”

Old Madam Yu sighed: "In this case, you should settle the marriage with your brother-in-law as soon as possible." Marry the six girls as soon as possible, and I will worry less about dim sum. In the past six months, I have really had a few more gray hairs."

Master Gu smiled, hurriedly poured a cup of tea for his mother, and then returned to his original seat, "Speaking of marriage...... The son also has an important matter to ask his mother to instruct. Wenxian is also older now, and next year's spring will be very sure. At that time, he will be an official, and the marriage should be done as soon as possible. Since my mother is in Beijing, I have to drink the tea of my eldest grandson and daughter-in-law before I can leave."

Old Madam Yu raised her eyes and looked at him: "Of course you have to drink, I didn't just stay for three or two months and then go back." ”

Master Gu was shocked and speechless, and said with a smile: "That's natural, how can I live for a few years and let my son do his filial piety." ”

Old Madam Yu stared at him for a while, and then her expression softened: "Since you mentioned Brother Xian'er's family affairs...... Isn't that also looking at others? In the early years, I urged you several times to marry a daughter-in-law for my virtuous brother, but you always said that you are not in a hurry, and fame matters...... Seeing that Brother Xian'er has been crowned for two years, and he has never married a wife, it doesn't look like a ......."

"Yes...... Master Gu naturally didn't dare to explain more, and only said vaguely, "After all, it is the eldest daughter-in-law of our Gu family, so I can't ignore it." The son is also cautious, so he has dragged on for so long. ”

Mrs. Yu knew that her son was obviously waiting for the price to sell, but it was not good to fall into the face of the son who was an official, so she asked in his tone: "Which lady is it?" ”

"It's the Ge family," Master Gu said busily, "The daughter of the Guozi Priest Wine Lord Ge is sixteen years old this year, knowledgeable and courteous, and has a good name. Lord Ge also admires Wenxian's talent. The son is estimated to be ** points sure. The Ge family was originally a scholar from Shandong, and he was a scholar for generations, and Mrs. Ge also came from the Shili family. Although he is not a high-ranking family, Lord Ge has been in the country for many years, with peach and plum all over the world, and has an excellent reputation in Shilin. ”

Old Madam Yu frowned, the prince of the country is a priest of wine, such a person's official position is too low. Wenxian is the eldest grandson of the Gu family, no matter how he looks, talents, and conduct, he is outstanding, even if he is a princess, he chose such a wife after a few years. She was a little dissatisfied.

However, as his son said, the background and connections of the Ge family are extremely beneficial to Wenxian's future career.

She was silent for a long time before she said, "Since you have already made up your mind, I don't want to say anything more." Find an opportunity for me to meet this Miss Ge. If it's not good, I won't agree."

Master Gu responded with a smile. He had already let Aunt Yu quietly meet this Miss Ge and was very confident in her.

The mother and son discussed these marriages, and planned to find an opportunity to explore Liu Fukou tomorrow. Master Gu said again: "It's better not to be too publicized for the time being, even if it's the matter of the ninth niece and the eldest nephew of the Liu family." Now for the queen mother to choose a match for her grandchildren and nephews, although the palace has not issued a selection order, but the family of the noble prince or the official eunuch no longer discuss the marriage for the daughter, after all, the crown princess and the princess are only selected among a few famous ladies, but Liangdi, the widow and so on are also short of people. ”

Mrs. Yu only arrived in the capital, and she didn't know much about the situation in Beijing, and when she saw her son say this, she responded, and thought in her heart that it would be good to call a few people to inquire about the news, otherwise it would be inconvenient to do anything if her eyes were dark

Just when the mother and son were discussing everything in the quiet room, Wen Yi and her sisters were in the main courtyard and had already met Wen Xian, the lobby brother who returned late.

Wen Xian was born with a talent, with good facial features, a faint eyebrow, and a very elegant bookish atmosphere, but with a little indifference. He is tall and a little thin, but he does not give a sense of weakness, and his every move is elegant and neat.

He first visited his mother after a long absence, then greeted his younger siblings, focused on his younger brother's homework, and then lightly glanced at the scar on Wen An's face, and said lightly: "Have you used medicine?" There are also some seals, please ask a doctor to take a look at it another day. ”

Wen An couldn't help but touch his face with his hand, and he twisted a little: "No need...... I've got two bottles of excellent medicine and I'm already much better...... I'll talk about it when I'm done with it. ”

Wenxian nodded, didn't talk much, and turned to the cousins. Wen Hui saw that he didn't look at himself more, and was a little angry: "Big brother hasn't seen me for more than half a year, why don't you ask me if I'm okay?" But he only cares about Xiao Qi......"

Wen Xian looked at her: "I see that the sixth sister has a very good complexion, could it be that I am dazzled?" Are you actually not good? So what are you doing here? Hurry back to the house and rest."

Wen Hui was angry, stomped her feet and shouted: "Big brother" Wen An sneered and interrupted her later words: "Sixth sister is very good, big brother don't worry, I have to recuperate in the past six months, but I have delayed my homework, if my eldest brother is free, tell me a book, right?" ”

Wen Xian responded, said a few words casually, and was about to retire, saying that he was going to visit his grandmother and father, and only took Wen An away. Sister Wen Yi waited for him to get up to see him off, only Wen Hui pursed her lips tightly and sat still.

Jiang was already very tired, and was about to send his daughters and nieces back to the room, but saw a mother-in-law come in with a strange face and said: "Madam, my uncle sent Miss Biao over, saying that she was promoted and was going to work in other places, and it was inconvenient to take her daughter there, so I wanted Miss Cousin to live in the house temporarily." ”

Jiang's eyes widened: "What? Now? ”

(Maybe a fifth?) ）
