CH.22 A Sparrow Is a Sparrow After All
What kind of demon does the Wu family want to be?
Qin thought about bypassing Mrs. Wang: "I can't be empty." If anything happens to her, let you tell me! ”
Mrs. Wang smiled but didn't smile: "Big lady, I can't help you." Today, Ma Sizhi's mother came to see the eldest lady, if the eldest lady really thinks about the master, let's go and meet. The eldest lady was withdrawn by the Zhou family on the front foot, and there was a horse on the back foot to look at each other, no matter what, it was a very decent thing. ”
See each other!? And Ma Si Zhi? Qin Xiang Huo Ran turned around and looked at Mrs. Wang, only to see the latter showing a smug smile.
"Where is Mrs. Ma now?" Qin thought about it and asked.
Hooked! Mrs. Wang's face was not obvious: "In the flower hall, the aunt of the Zhong family is entertaining." ”
Qin thought about not caring about Mrs. Wang, and hurried towards the flower hall.
Mrs. Wang shook her head: "The eldest lady hates to marry after all." ”
Although Ma Sizhi is an official of Zhengbapin, his family background does not seem to be very good.
Wu's smile hung on his face, and his eyes kept looking at Mrs. Ma.
Mrs. Ma is actually only one round older than her, but she looks at least twenty years older than her. The persimmon-colored clothes she wore were also very ill-fitting, and her waist was empty, probably someone else gave her it. Looking at the shoes on her feet, the soles are almost worn out.
Mrs. Wang really found an excellent family for Qin Xiangxiang.
Wu's smile became more and more sincere: "Mrs. Ma, please use tea." ”
Mrs. Ma looked at the Wu family with a serious expression: "The wife of the Zhong family can really be the family affair of the eldest lady of Qin?" ”
"That's nature. Before my sister left, the most reassuring thing was the eldest lady. But who would have expected that the originally certain family affair suddenly changed. Wu Jiayi sighed slightly, "In Kyoto, the reputation of the little lady who was withdrawn is difficult to say. ”
Mrs. Ma smiled, with a wrinkled face. In fact, if you look closely, Ma Sizhi and Mrs. Ma still look quite similar, but the hardships of life have pressed Mrs. Ma into countless folds.
Mrs. Ma said: "The wives in front of my son are all poor and cannot enjoy happiness. The two children left behind are also as thin as cats and often sick, do these Qin ladies know? ”
After the death of two wives in a row, Ma Sizhi betrayed the reputation of his wife. Coupled with a bad family background, it is difficult for Ma Sizhi to remarry.
But I can't stand someone trying to push the little lady into the fire pit.
When the matchmaker handed the news to her, Mrs. Ma came without hesitation. In Mrs. Ma's eyes, in fact, Qin Xiangxiang's conditions are strange.
Qin Xiangxiang is Qin Guanlan's daughter, but the emperor didn't blame the rest of the Qin family, besides, Qin Guanlan was only ordered to go to the border, and he was not demoted, nor did he say that he would never be allowed to return to Beijing. What if Qin Guanlan recovers again in the future? After the recovery, Qin Guanlan can help his son-in-law with anything, right?
Mrs. Ma's abacus was clear.
Wu Jiayi didn't understand anything, so she only promised again and again: "My niece is the most docile." For weak children, it is full of love and pity. ”
Qin Xiangxiang stepped in and listened to Wu Jiayi's praise for her.
"Heh, I didn't expect the sun to come out of the west, although this Mrs. Zhong is not my serious aunt, but she does not hesitate to praise me for my marriage." Qin Xiangxiang's eyes fell on Mrs. Ma, looking at Ma Sizhi's face, she still saluted Mrs. Ma, "I've seen Aunt Ma." ”
Mrs. Ma looked at Qin with some suspicion. This is the eldest lady of the Qin family? It's too shabby, isn't it? How can Qin Guanlan say that he is also a member of the third grade, the eldest daughter of his in-laws, is so inconspicuous? Before she came, she felt that her identity was a little incompatible, but now Mrs. Ma's confidence has increased all of a sudden.
It's not that she didn't hear the sarcasm in Qin Xiangxiang's tone, but Mrs. Ma understood the reason for bowing her head and marrying a daughter-in-law, and immediately smiled and said, "This is the eldest lady?" Sure enough, he was humble and docile. ”
Qin Xiangxiang only smiled: "Thanks to Aunt Ma's praise, but I am concerned about my father's safety at this time, and I have no intention of marrying again for the time being." Moreover, this Mrs. Zhong family can't be my master. ”
Wu Jiayi's face changed, and she wanted to have a seizure, but Mrs. Wang hurriedly gave her a look.
Wu Jiayi gritted her teeth and finally controlled her emotions: "Big lady, it's not that my aunt wants to be your master, it's really that if you and Ma Sizhi are ruthless, how can you meet in the waterwheel alley?" ”
Mrs. Ma sighed: "Is there such a thing?" It turns out that the eldest lady and the unsuccessful one in my family actually know each other? ”
They followed her. Qin Xiangxiang's eyes suddenly cooled: "Mrs. Zhong said cautiously, Ma Sizhi is just looking for me to routinely inquire about business." ”
Wu Jiayi took the handkerchief and smiled with half of her face: "After inquiring at home, we met again outside, is this a fate destined by God?" ”
Mrs. Wang sang and harmonized: "Our eldest lady is blessed to meet Ma Sizhi." ”
The folds on Mrs. Ma's face bloomed: "If the eldest lady is afraid of criticism from those people outside, she doesn't have to." Good women ask for hundreds of schools, we are above board, what are you afraid of those gossips? ”
Wu Jiayi said with a smile: "What Mrs. Ma said is very true. ”
Mrs. Ma smiled, and she had already raised her hand to pull out a hairpin from her bun.
The rule of men and women in Shengguo is that if the man takes a fancy to the woman, the man or the mother-in-law will take out a hairpin and insert it into the crown of the woman's head.
Mrs. Ma said: "Today, the old body is in a hurry, and I haven't invited a matchmaker yet, but the eldest lady, please rest assured, the old body will definitely choose an auspicious day, and please ask a first-class matchmaker to make a decision." ”
Qin Xiangxiang took a step back: "Aunt Ma can't understand people's words?" ”
Wu Jiayi hurriedly said to Mrs. Ma: "Big lady, this is shy." It's better for Mrs. Ma to go home first, and then we can persuade the eldest lady. ”
Mrs. Ma has already married a daughter-in-law twice, so there is nothing she doesn't understand. She immediately got up to say goodbye and walked quickly, for fear that Qin would think about it and say another word of refusal.
Qin Xiangxiang said coldly: "Mrs. Zhong likes the Ma family so much, she might as well marry her daughter." She remembered that Wu Jiayi had a daughter.
Wu Jiayi seemed to have a bad breath, Qin Xiangxiang didn't refute anything, only smiled and groaned: "My daughter is only twelve years old, smart and studious, and she is not yet the age of marriage." ”
Qin Xiangxiang didn't bother to argue with her, only turned around and wanted to leave the flower hall.
Mrs. Wang actually stopped in front of her: "The eldest lady, please stay." ”
Qin Xiangxiang raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Wang: "What, a subordinate still wants to be powerful in front of me?" ”
Wu Jiayi got up leisurely: "Big lady, before you marry into the Ma family, please also ask the big lady to stay at home obediently and cultivate her self-cultivation." ”
Qin Xiangxiang turned around suddenly and looked at Wu Jiayi: "You guys are trying to put me under house arrest?" ”
Mrs. Wang showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth: "The eldest lady doesn't want to spew blood, the old slave is just for the sake of the eldest lady's reputation." After all, the front foot only retired from the Zhou family, and the back foot hooked up with Ma Sizhi. Although the old lady is not in Kyoto, our Qin family's face is still needed. ”
When Mrs. Wang spoke, Zhong Youzhi and Zhong Youxiang appeared at the door. There were also a few hesitant subordinates outside.
"Big lady, please." Mrs. Wang said please, but there was a hint of fierceness in her eyes.
She thought that Qin Xiangxiang would resist, but she didn't expect Qin Xiangxiang to come out very obediently. Mrs. Wang nodded with satisfaction, and she said, Qin Xiangxiang has been obedient for more than ten years, but there are no elders in the family for a while, and she will think that she is the master of the Qin family from now on.
How is it possible, a sparrow is a sparrow after all, how can it fly on the branch and become a phoenix?
The second lady, Qin Wanwan, is the golden phoenix who can fly on the branches! Thinking of the noble person that the second lady took along, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but smile with joy.
What can the eldest lady do, and the one who can save the old man is always the second lady.
