Chapter Seventy-One: Wishful Thinking

Bai's face was already ugly, Chang'an originally lowered his head, secretly raised his head and looked at Bai's face, and understood Bai's distress, Bai's bitterness was also understood, Bai has been a filial daughter-in-law in Gongchang Bofu for so many years, even if he has now given the Liu family a horse, but he can never tear his face in front of outsiders, otherwise he will lose the entire Bofu, so he can only swallow his anger.

After thinking about it carefully, he scratched his head suspiciously: "Grandmother, what kind of title does the Zhu family have in the emperor, Chang'an goes out less, and when I went to the chrysanthemum banquet last time, I was afraid that I would embarrass our He family by recognizing the wrong person, so I asked Sister Ping'an carefully, I remember that Sister Ping'an said a lot of people at that time, but it didn't seem to be ...... There is no Zhu family......"

As soon as these words came out, Yu's face was a little unbearable, but he couldn't attack. After all, He Chang'an was not in good health when he was young, and he rarely went out to socialize, which is something that the entire imperial capital is clear, not to mention that people's children are still young, even if they often go out to socialize, they may not be able to remember everyone. Besides, the Zhu family doesn't have any titles on them, if it sounds good, it is a meritorious man, but if it is not good, it is just an imperial businessman.

The Liu family also wanted to reprimand Chang'an, but the meaning of Chang'an's words was that even if I didn't know any of the Zhu family, it was Sister Ping'an's mistake, and she didn't tell me, and I didn't have anything to do with it.

coughed, and changed a set of rhetoric: "Chang'an, the Zhu family is the meritorious minister of our Daxuan, I'm afraid you don't know, our Daxuan can have today's prosperity, and the help of the old man Zhu back then is inseparable, even if there is no title, it is the Zhu family's self-humility and refusal to take credit, but if you snub the Zhu family because of the Zhu family's self-humility, then you have no knowledge." In the past, you didn't go out much, but today your grandmother told you to remember, so you have to remember it. ”

Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "Look at what you said, old lady, our Zhu family can actually be regarded as a wealthy businessman, and the previous achievements of our ancestors are all the things of our ancestors, but our Zhu family has always been low-key, it is true, this fame and fortune are just a reputation, passed on to children and grandchildren, and children and grandchildren will also be burdened by fame, how can it be true to find a proper home for children? Mrs. Gong Changbo, do you say this is the reason?"

Bai nodded helplessly, but in his heart, he was slandering, you found a proper home for your child, and brought the idea to our house, but I don't think your daughter is a proper home.

Of course, the Bai family also relied on Yu's actions, and felt that the children she taught were not very good, and Chang'an's attitude was even tougher, if it was Miss Zhu Jiu, who was smart and could understand current affairs, and refused to go along with her stepmother, it would be fine, but the twelve daughters of the Zhu family, except for those who have already married, but Miss Zhu Jiu's age is the most unreliable, too small compared to He Jiaqing, and older than He Dingqing, it is not suitable after all. What's more, even if Miss Zhu Jiajiu is of the right age, with the heart of the Yu family who doesn't want her to be good, how can she take the initiative to marry her to Bofu?

Liu looked at Bai's reluctance, and thought in his heart that he must promote this marriage, not to mention anything else, the Zhu family's family is much lower than the He family, no matter which daughter of the Zhu family marries in, it is the son of the He family, and the Yu family also vaguely mentioned his niece, it seems that the family is not very good, and the left and right are of lower status, but I can't be grateful for letting her enter the door of the Zhu family? The daughter-in-law is not facing herself, and it is not bad to get a granddaughter-in-law to come in and go against the daughter-in-law! Even if the granddaughter-in-law doesn't have so many means to go against her mother-in-law, the Liu family is willing to spend time and effort on anything that can add a little blockage to the Bai family.

"Successful daughter-in-law, you see, now Brother Yan is growing up day by day, and in another year or two, the imperial examination will be able to come back to our He family to earn a reputation. The ancestors have clouds, start a family, and start a family, and always marry a daughter-in-law to Brother Yan before Brother Yan ends, so that a daughter-in-law will take care of the daily chores for Brother Yan, and Brother Yan can prepare for the exam with peace of mind. ”

Bai Shi shook his head, but the smile on his face did not even have a trace of cracks: "Mother's daughter-in-law does not agree with this, Brother Yan has been clean since he was a child, and those two little girls followed, even the maids are rare, which is also famous in their group of young sons and brothers, if you marry Brother Yan'er now, I am afraid that it will make Brother Yan intoxicated and gentle in the countryside and delay his studies." Isn't our family always counting on Brother Yan to earn a good reputation and come back to glorify the ancestors, if it is to marry a wife and start a family, it is not worth delaying. ”

Seeing that it would not work to persuade Bai with the argument of starting a family and starting a business, Liu Shi turned his head and changed his rhetoric: "The words of a successful daughter-in-law are not unreasonable. It's just that none of us know what ranking Brother Yan can take back this time, but if we wait for Brother Yan to come back after the game, I am afraid that those girls with good looks and character have already been ordered away by other people's boys. According to my meaning, let's set one for Brother Yan first, as for getting married, when Brother Yan is named on the gold list, you can also have a double happiness, right?"

Yu Shi and this group of words: "What the old lady said is a truth, don't say anything else, just the niece of my family, her appearance and character are all first-class, beautiful, gentle personality, her mother died early, and there is a younger brother in it, so she has been a good hand since she was a child, and she is also a girl, such a good person can't find it with a lantern, if it weren't for my good relationship with the old lady, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk about this family affair." ”

Liu's face was full of joy: "I told you that the successful daughter-in-law, that girl I have seen, to say that I am not sorry, it is not an exaggeration to say that the girl's appearance is the top in the whole capital, and she has loved to read since she was a child, isn't Brother Yan also very knowledgeable? ”

Bai Shi thought about the matter that he had just settled with the eldest princess of Zhaoning today, and thought that the girl of the Liu family was really in line with her heart, even if Mrs. Zhu's niece was good, I was afraid that it was also the Liu family's phase, and she couldn't have the same heart as herself, such a daughter-in-law, if it was set for the same brother, it didn't matter, after all, it was not a matter of a day or two for the same brother and Aunt Ge to deal with him, but Brother Yan was raised by his side since he was a child, and he regarded himself as his biological mother, and Aunt Geng was also a safe person, if she really married a restless daughter-in-law, I am afraid that the surface calm of the He family for so many years will be difficult to maintain。

As soon as I thought of my brother, I heard Yu Shi speak again: "I vaguely remember that Uncle Gongchang's family has two sons, all of whom are very promising, not that I boast, I also have a biological daughter, who ranks tenth in the Zhu family, but the Zhu family is also the eldest and eleven girls." Our Liangyu is six years old this year, but whoever sees it thinks that he is a well-educated child, and he praises his good birth, and the girls in our family are all in the same way as our master, when our lord was young, Yushu was in the wind, and several girls were also beautiful. What's more, the eldest sister can marry the prince of Sui'an, if our tenth sister is allowed to the second young master of your mansion, it is not considered to have insulted the second young master of your mansion. ”

Yu was talking about Zaixing, and Xi Die came in to report: "Old lady, madam, Mrs. Zhu, second miss, Miss Qibiao, the eldest young master is back, I was going to say hello to Mrs. first, but now I heard that Mrs. is here with the old lady and is coming to the hall." ”

The meaning of this is to tell He Changan and Shi Qi to avoid it, now that Shi Qi has decided on a family matter, He Jiaqing is not her own brother, just a cousin with a different surname, it is still necessary to avoid suspicion, He Changan originally wanted to talk to He Jiaqing about what Liu Yanling told her, but it was not good to leave Shi Qi alone and let her go first, and a pair of cousins went behind the screen first.

He Jiaqing walked in, and when he saw Liu, he said: "Brother Yan'er asks grandmother to say goodbye, grandmother is still wearing such a thick coat on such a hot day, but her body is not comfortable?" If this is really the case, grandmother is already old, I am afraid that she can't be lazy, but I want my grandson to ask the fourth highness to invite a doctor for grandmother to take a look?"

Then he said to Bai: "Didn't my mother make an appointment to go to Qining Temple with the eldest princess of Zhaoning to pray for blessings, didn't she also take my sister with her, saying that she would stay for a night before coming back? ”

Liu's hands clenched into fists and coughed on the edge of his mouth: "Brother Yan, you didn't ......"

"Ah, there are guests here, He Jiaqing is rude and apologizes to his wife. ”

He Jiaqing didn't say that it was okay, as soon as he said it, Yu's was even more angry in his heart, apologized, and always had to explain to someone, He Jiaqing obviously didn't know himself, but he didn't even ask which family he was, and he made it clear that he didn't care at all, let alone put her in his eyes, but he could only swallow it temporarily: "How could it be, Young Master He cares about his grandmother, I also think that Young Master He is a rare filial good child, and I don't know which lady will have such a blessing to get a son-in-law like the young master in the future." ”

In and out of the words, he still went around the matter of proposing, and Yu's wishful thinking was really crackling all the time
