Chapter 13 Choosing a son-in-law

Although Mrs. Jiang drove Qi Juemin out and strictly forbade him to come to the door again, Mrs. Qi was still seriously ill because of his arrival.

Half of them were angry with him, and the other half were overwhelmed.

Daughter Qi Tanying has reached the age of seventeen, but her family affairs have not been settled, and Qi Juemin already knows that she has divorced the Jiang family. He has always been the most face-heavy, and that day Sister kicked him out in public, and he must have held a grudge.

I don't know what bad ideas will be played.

The Qi family in Wuzhou is a group of mad dogs in the eyes of Mrs. Qi, as long as it is profitable, they will never let go of any opportunity. They look down on women, but they have to rely on women to prosper their families.

is like the fifth aunt and grandmother of the upper generation in the second room, because her brother got into trouble, she had to marry a squire over sixty years old as a stepfamily, and was finally abused to death. The squire, fearing that his family would be in trouble, lost a large sum of money.

The fifth aunt's brother and clan got the money, and the matter was over.

The sister-in-law of the third room, after the death of her husband Uncle Lian, she had no children and no daughters under her knees, so she could have gone back to her parents' house to remarry. Her husband's family coveted her dowry and was forced to succeed an heir who was only one year younger than her.

When the heir grew up, he not only seized Uncle Lian's family wealth, swallowed up his adoptive mother's dowry, and finally drove his adoptive mother out of the house. The heir gave benefits to the clan, but no one in the clan was the master of Lian's sister-in-law.

There is also Qi Sanniang, because she has no father and no mother, she can only be used as a pawn by them to send to the spring audition, if she is selected, she will be trapped in the palace wall for the rest of her life, not only can she not be free, but she will also work hard for the family.

Mrs. Qi was secretly determined that she would never let her daughter repeat their tragic fate.

So she went to Jiang's house to find Mrs. Jiang with her sick body, and Mrs. Jiang was also about to look for her, she had been bothering about Qi Tanying's marriage for the past few days, and finally found a few that could still be seen.

She asked the maid to take the portrait, "There are a few good ones at the moment, you can take a look." ”

Mrs. Qi followed her line of sight, and Mrs. Jiang said, "This is He Hongguang, the nephew of the Ministry of Rites, who is eighteen years old this year, his parents died early, and he grew up with his uncle's family. His uncle has no children under his knees, and the He family will be inherited by him in the future, and he still has a talent and fame. ”

"Square face and garlic nose, and a sausage mouth, only five feet tall, short and ugly, not worthy of my Tan at all." Mrs. Qi's face was not very good-looking.

Mrs. Jiang put away He Hongguang's portrait when she heard this, and then unfolded the second one, "This person's name is Yan Li, Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and he is currently in the position of Dali Temple. ”

Mrs. Qi shook her head: "This official rank, appearance and height are passable, but they are older." Also, he takes a concubine first and marries a wife later, which always makes people a little uncomfortable. ”

Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything, and then unfolded the third portrait, "His name is Lin Shixun, he is nineteen years old this year, he was born in the imperial merchant Lin family, he is the youngest son in the family, he has been deeply loved by his parents since he was a child, and he has no other problems, but his temper is a little short-tempered." ”

Mrs. Qi was still dissatisfied, "Although she brought an imperial character, she is still a businessman." Besides, he has a bad temper, what if he beats someone after marriage? ”

Mrs. Jiang patiently introduced other candidates, and after talking for a long time, Mrs. Qi was not satisfied.

Looking at those portraits, she couldn't help complaining: "Sister, Ah Tan is your niece, can you not find some crooked melons and cracked dates to make up the numbers?" ”

Mrs. Jiang put the portrait aside, and said angrily: "This is not good, that is not good, what kind of son-in-law do you want?" ”

She worked hard for her niece Zhang Luo, and she was both a relationship and a favor, and her sister still felt that she was not dedicated.

If it weren't for the guilt of her niece in her heart, she really wanted to pick her son and quit.

After taking a sip of tea to moisten her throat, Mrs. Jiang picked out the portrait of Yan Li, "Although this person is a little older, he is a Beijing official of the sixth grade, and Ah Tan is the official wife when he marries." ”

"But he still has a concubine at home."

Mrs. Jiang said disapprerovingly: "What's wrong with having a concubine?" Not to mention other families in Kyoto, just take your brother-in-law, the old and young masters in the second and third rooms, who doesn't have one or two concubines? If everyone picks a son-in-law like you, all the girls in the world won't be able to get married. ”

But your son, Brother Liang, doesn't have it! Mrs. Qi retorted in her heart.

Mrs. Jiang continued: "I have already inquired, Yan Li's concubine is the same age as him, and she looks average. On weekdays, he rarely comes to Yan Li, and only takes care of his wife. ”

"Our Ah Tan is not only good-looking, but also a housekeeper, can he compare with the concubine who was born in the countryside?"

Mrs. Qi felt a little more relieved when she heard this, and she asked, "Is Yan Li a good person?" ”

Mrs. Jiang said: "The neighbors all say that she is a kind-hearted and good person, and her reputation is so good, she should not be a daughter-in-law." ”

Mrs. Qi was still not at ease, "Please ask Sister Ah to send someone to inquire again, if this Yan Li has no other problems, let Ah Tan meet with him." ”

Mrs. Jiang naturally agreed.

She thought that men knew men best, so she planned to let her son Jiang Liangyu go out and meet Yan Li in person for a while, Jiang Liangyu knew that her mother and aunt were choosing a husband for her cousin.

But he didn't know Yan Li, so in order to complete the task assigned by his mother, he had to ask Wu Han for help. Wu Han is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Yan Li is Wu Han's subordinate, Jiang Liangyu feels that he should be looking for the right person.

Without warning, his friend asked him about the behavior of his subordinates, which made Wu Han very surprised, "This person can be regarded as a good hand at handling cases, he does things in an orderly manner, and his popularity is also good." ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Han's evaluation of Yan Li was quite high, and Jiang Liangyu silently wrote down these words.

Wu Han asked casually, "What are you doing with these inquiries?" "It's not like his usual style.

Jiang Liangyu smiled, "Entrusted by others." ”

Wu Han quipped: "Shouldn't anyone look down on Yan Li and want to marry his daughter to him?" After speaking, he touched him with his elbow, "Tell me, which girl is it?" ”

Jiang Liangyu glanced at him, and for the first time found that his friend had the temperament of three aunts and six mothers-in-law.

"Her family and my Jiang family are in-laws."

"Relatives of the Jiang family?" Wu Han thought of a family, "I remember that the eldest daughter of your aunt's family just got married this year, although her family has fallen, but it has not reached the point of low marriage, right?" ”

"It's not her."

"Could it be a relative of the third room?" If it's really a three-room, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to do. Mrs. Jiang's maiden family is a merchant, if it weren't for the family's financial constraints, who would want to marry a merchant girl.

Jiang Liangyu saw that his friend had misunderstood, and thought that he would have to trouble Wu Han to pull the strings in the future, and after a little consideration, he said: "It has nothing to do with Sanfang, it's the cousin of Changfang, and you have a relationship with her." ”

Hearing this, a beautiful and gentle face instantly appeared in Wu Han's mind.

It turned out to be her.

He asked in a light tone: "Although Yan Li is good, but he is older, doesn't Miss Qi mind?" ”

Jiang Liangyu suddenly remembered the words of his mother, Mrs. Jiang: It is nothing for a man to be older, and it hurts even more when he is older. Old husbands and young wives are much better, so as to avoid men being confused by the flowers and plants outside.
