Chapter Twenty-Three: Family Affairs
Old Mrs. Jiang, like Zhou Baozhu, looked at those things very seriously, and after looking at them carefully, she also put them on the tip of her nose and sniffed them. At this time, a little girl came in with vegetarian food, and went down after placing it.
After looking at it repeatedly, Mrs. Jiang shook her head: "Even I can't see the problem with these things. Did the old lady say anything else?"
Nie Xiaofan said: "He also said that I would invite Mr. Liu to come and see the patient, and even gave me the consultation money." ”
The old lady said, "You should ask him to take a look at your illness, so there is no problem." You can put these things away. The old lady was silent for a while, and sighed heavily: "Maybe the people of the Zhou family today are just cautiously checking." ”
What is it that can make the family of the prime minister so vigorous?
Nie Xiaofan was even more puzzled, she knelt a few steps and held her grandmother's lap: "Mother and old lady, what are you doing? Why did you let your mother lose her life?"
When the old lady heard this, she sighed again and said slowly: "The old lady fell into the water that day, and it was a suicide. Tsui Er is trying to save her. This matter is an ugly thing for the Zhou family, so it will be covered up. ”
Xu Shi talked about her daughter's death, and the old lady reddened her eyes again: "If you believe me, listen to me: the old lady will not harm Cui'er, although Cui'er's death is at fault, we can't blame her." She was sad enough herself. Hello, don't be suspicious of anything, and don't ask me anything. I haven't served by the old lady's side for decades, and although I am still a little decent in front of her, I am not a confidant after all. ”
Nie Xiaofan couldn't understand that Mrs. Zhou was the mother of the prime minister, and her children and grandchildren were full. What could make her want to kill herself?
Now since what the old lady said is the same as the rumors, she died to save Mrs. Zhou. Even if Nie Xiaofan had a thousand questions in his heart, it was not good to continue to ask. After all, the elderly generally don't like children who love to inquire. Nie Xiaofan confessed: "Xiaofan saw that the people of the Zhou family were so nervous today, so he would be suspicious. Grandmother, don't worry about Xiaofan. ”
The old lady lovingly helped Nie Xiaofan up: "Good boy, you are not wrong. But your mother is gone, and you have to live well. Man, you have to look forward.
Since someone doesn't want you to enter the Zhou family. Let's find another good family. I'm a very clever person, I'm afraid I can't find a better son than the 'Demon King of the Mixed World'?"
"Demon King of the Mixed World?" Nie Xiaofan asked. Isn't that Cheng Biting Jin?
"That's Zhou Jiulang's mixed name. It has been five or six years since his biological mother died, and the third master has been appointed again. No one took care of him. So he has been lawless since childhood. Many children in the school have been beaten by him. Hence this mixed name. ”
Nie Xiaofan didn't think it was like that, when we met today, I was a little skinny. It's not like it's the "Demon King of the Mixed World", right?
When the old lady saw that she didn't speak, she thought she was shy, and said, "This marriage is your mother's last wish." But she doesn't understand the world. In the past, the old lady doted on her, and the Zhou family was polite to her. But that is the dignity that people give to the old lady, and it is also a filial piety for others to see. Now if you marry into the Zhou family, our former subordinates will become masters on an equal footing with them. Do you say that those people in the Zhou family can not respond in their hearts?"
Nie Xiaofan always thought that this family affair was a sure thing, but she didn't expect that she would have a choice? However, no matter how much she had a choice, she couldn't help but marry. The original owner had been looking forward to a lifelong marriage, but she was pushed by her, the person who occupied the magpie's nest, so did she have to be restless? The old lady was not unreasonable, but she always had to break through for her. Besides, Zhou Jiulang is still waiting to marry his daughter-in-law who was in love with his childhood, and you won't marry when you come here. Isn't this a life and a good job?
Nie Xiaofan hurriedly shook his head: "This marriage is the last thing my mother said before leaving, and Xiaofan's illness was always not good at that time." The Zhou family also agreed. Now when Xiaofan's body is a little better, we will regret the marriage, isn't this trapping my mother in injustice?" Nie Xiaofan directly pulled the Jiang family's banner. "Besides, Zhou Jiulang has no mother and no brothers. Even the old lady, her heart must be towards me, who else will make me angry in the future? So don't worry about Xiaofan. After retiring from relatives and looking for someone else, how can it be a matter of a few days and a few words? Xiao Fan can't bear to think about Xiao Fan at your age. ”
After Nie Xiaofan's reasoning, he knew it with affection. The old lady still said: "You say that, but it is also true. It's just that since I've said that, I should have planned it for you. Your cousin is sixteen years old."
"Don't," Nie Xiaofan said busily. This is really my grandmother, and all aspects have been considered for her. It's just that let's not talk about the marriage contract of the original owner, even if this close relative marries, Nie Xiaofan can't bear it!" "Grandmother, Xiaofan knows that you are for my good." But think about it, will your uncle and aunt agree to your cousin marrying a daughter-in-law who is sick all the year round?" "Nie Xiaofan actually means that you see that I am a sick man, so you still let me harm others."
Sure enough, the son and daughter-in-law were mentioned. The old lady hesitated. In the end, two more tears fell: "At the beginning, Lord Liu of the Ministry of Labor was working with your father. The third son of his family has a good appearance and temperament, and now he has also taken the test to show his talents. I was showing you good. Who knew that your mother didn't look down on it, so she settled it for your stepsister. ”
Nie Xiao'e's in-laws, it turned out to be for the original owner? Nie Xiao'e shouldn't know. It's good that saves a lot of embarrassment.
"Well, it's all fate. Speaking of which, the Liu family also lives on Siping Street. We are neighbors to our family."
Before the words fell, Jiang Shasha ran in like a smoke. "Grandmother!" she called, and slipped into Mrs. Jiang's arms again.
"There are no rules. Mrs. Jiang patted her on the back, and her eyes and movements were all loving. Nie Xiaofan looked envious.
It's good to have relatives! This is the first time Nie Xiaofan has made such an exclamation after crossing over!
"Old lady, which one are you talking about as neighbors?" asked Lian with a smile after entering the door. I heard this when I entered the door just now, and when Lian asked like this, he also felt very rude, and hurriedly confessed to the old lady.
Mrs. Jiang didn't care very much, and after beckoning Lian to sit down, she explained: "Just talking about Sister E'er's future in-laws, they live on Siping Street, and there are a few families separated from us. ”
When Lian heard this, the smile on his face was even worse: "This is a relative, isn't it?" said and took a sip of tea, and said: "My brother's newly purchased house is also on this street. It's been renovated recently. I'm probably going to move in next month. ”
This is good news, everyone has a smile on their faces, and the atmosphere is much more relaxed. The old lady said: "This is better, if you don't dislike my old woman, I can come to the door to congratulate the housewarming." ”
"Ridiculous! Who allowed you to assert yourself? Who told you to involve the orb?"
When Zhou Youxiang heard that Chen dared to offend his mother today, he was so angry that the few beards on his chin trembled violently.
As soon as Chen heard this, he immediately got up and stood to listen to the training. But he said unwillingly: "The concubine body is also for the sake of the Zhou family." Didn't you say last time that the old lady wanted to put the Zhou family to death regardless of the affection between mother and son?"
Zhou Youxiang slapped a few holes: "I'm drunk! Drunken words, how can I take it seriously?"
