Chapter Seventy-Two: Mingya's Family Affair (iampatty)
Minghui went to see Wang Zhenren first, and then took Duoduo back to Huizhenguan, and brought a lot of zongzi with him when he left.
Tell her everything that has happened these days.
Mingda just came yesterday and sent a Boxing gift, and there was another happy event.
Mingya and Mingjing in the second room are going to get married.
According to local customs, the wedding date should avoid March, May, June, and July, Ming Ya is scheduled for August, and Ming Jing is scheduled for October, it seems that the time is very urgent, and the Ming family is in a hurry to marry off the two eldest daughters this year.
Think about it, Mingya is eighteen years old, her birthday is in February, and she will be nineteen in the New Year, and Mingjing is also seventeen.
Mingjing's family affairs were made a small order, but Mingya's family affairs, Minghui did not hear of it, the second wife and Ming Jing often came to Huizhenguan, and never talked about Mingya's engagement.
"Which one did Mingya order?" Minghui asked.
"It's the son of the Chen family, the lord of his family is in the Ministry of Rites, and I heard that one of the old friends of the eldest master is also in the Ministry of Rites, which is his matchmaker."
A friend in the Ministry of Rites? That's Qi Wenhai.
Minghui wanted to laugh, Qi Wenhai went to give her a kiss, and by the way, he also made a matchmaker for Mingya?
"That's right, the young lady of the Wu family is also engaged, and the wedding date is also scheduled for October, and after the happy event for the third girl, it will be Miss Wu Jiabiao's." I'm very happy that it's not too late, this Miss Wu Jiabiao doesn't deal with her own girl, it's best to marry as soon as possible.
Minghui hadn't heard of this either, so she hurriedly asked, "Wu Lizhu is also engaged?" Shouldn't she also be a matchmaker made by Lord Qi? ”
"That's not it, listen to the third girl, the cousin's husband's family is high, the cousin is the fifteenth young master of the Cheng'en Mansion, and the nephew of the Queen Mother, and the cousin will be the nephew of the Queen Mother, and the cousin-in-law of the emperor. That's right, by the way, listen to the third girl, the fifteenth young master of the Sun family and the young master cousin are classmates and friends. ”
Minghui twitched the corners of her mouth, and returned her cousin-in-law? Forget it, there is a queen mother and a princess of the county in the Chengen Mansion, although there are no men in high positions, but there are several who have grace, and the Wu family has not even had a jinshi so far, and the door is a big difference, this fifteenth young master, I don't think it is from a grandson.
Minghui didn't guess wrong, Sun Fifteen was not only not a descendant, but also an outer family who recognized his ancestors at the age of eight.
But this is a later story, at this time, Minghui just turned her mind and left it behind.
The next day, Minghui asked Wang An to send a gift back to Zaoshu Hutong, and by the way, he reported safety to Master Ming, of course, at the same time, he also politely declined Master Ming's invitation to let her go back to his house for the holiday.
Master Ming looked at the gift sent by Minghui, and felt sad, the more his sister gave him the gift to his heart, the more sad he felt in his heart.
My sister is afraid that she will not return to the Ming family until she gets married.
Unlike Master Ming, the eldest lady is beaming, since she learned that Wu Lizhu and Cheng'en Mansion's family affairs were booked, the eldest lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she walked like she was carrying the wind.
Master Ming watched coldly, and couldn't help it: "How is Sister Ya'er's dowry prepared?" ”
"Sister Ya'er has been embroidering day and night, and after the festival, the two embroidery girls I invited will also come into the house to help her, you can rest assured." The eldest lady absentmindedly flipped through the books of the storeroom.
"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about the furniture of the house, Shuangjing Hutong has already invited a carpenter into the house, Sister Ya'er's day is two months earlier than Sister Jing'er, why hasn't there been any movement in our house?" Master Ming Da straightened his face.
The eldest lady put down the account book and said angrily: "It's because the good carpenter was invited to the second room first, and our family can't invite it, besides, Sister Jing will marry in Baoding, but Sister Ya is going to marry to the capital, you must first let the side report a size, so we can fight the house, in case there is too much, the house over there is small, can't be put in, isn't it a joke?" ”
Thinking of this family affair, the eldest lady was angry, also in the capital, her niece married to the Cheng'en Mansion, the queen mother's maiden family, but her daughter could only marry a five-grade petty official family!
She can't look down on this family business, but the eldest man insists on going his own way and making his own opinions, when she knows, the eldest man has already verbally agreed, and said that the eldest husband made a promise of a thousand gold, bah, when he gave his little sister a resignation, why didn't he say a promise of a thousand gold?
Master Ming used to ignore these housework, but he kept filial piety for three years, and during these three years, he was at home every day, and some things he didn't want to understand.
"The best carpenter in Baoding Mansion, one surnamed Zhang and one surnamed Sui, when the second brother and sister went to invite the carpenter, they specially asked someone to tell you, you said that she would invite them together, and the second brother and sister sent two groups of people, one to the Zhang family, and the other to the Sui family, the Zhang family and the Sui family all took over the business of the Ming family, and the order money was collected, but what about you, I heard that the Wu family also wanted to invite the Sui family to fight the family, so I made my own opinion, and did not discuss with the second brother and sister, so I gave the Sui family to your mother's family."
The eldest lady was stunned, how could the eldest master even know about this?
"The second brother and sister are really, they are old, and they don't know how to control their tongues."
Master Ming snorted coldly: "This is not what the second brother and sister said, it was said by the descendants of your mother's family outside, let me ask you, is the craftsman of the Sui family working in the Wu family?" Was the deposit paid in advance by the second siblings? ”
"What's the matter, what's wrong with his second aunt giving a deposit, it's not like I didn't pay her back." The eldest lady was so angry that she picked her nails, the Zeng family was born as a merchant, and after marrying into the Ming family for so many years, she still couldn't get on the stage.
Master Ming slapped the table, and the tea on the table was spilled, and the maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, and no one dared to come over to clean it up.
"When you paid the deposit for the Wu family, did you ever think that Sister Ya'er was the first to get married, and her dowry should also be prepared, you are her own mother, and you don't have this daughter in your eyes?"
It's not good for my little sister, and it can be said that my sister-in-law is not compatible, but Mingya is her biological daughter!
The eldest lady bit her lip, feeling a little weak in her heart, but remembering Mingya's family business, she stiffened her neck: "At this time, the eldest man said that I don't have a daughter in my eyes?" When you set this contract for her, did you ever think that she was your biological daughter? ”
"This family business is very good, this is the best I can find for her, it is because she is my biological daughter, I don't let her climb the high branches, and she can't hold her head up in her husband's house." Master Ming shouted.
The eldest lady was so angry that she was shaky, the eldest daughter Mingxian's family affairs were also decided by Master Ming, married to the eldest grandson of Zhi Shi Hanlin, and after so many years, the son-in-law was still just a talented talent.
Now it's Mingya's turn, it's almost the same family, and it's a family affair that blocks her.
"For so many years, I have been teaching my husband and children in the Ming family, giving birth to children, without merit and hard work, but in the end, I can't even interfere in the family affairs of my children, in exchange for complaining ......"
Before he finished speaking, Master Ming turned around and left.
