Chapter 291: The Cheng family's revenge came so fast
At the beginning of February, the weather began to get warmer, and gradually there was the breath of spring, and the Niu family wanted to do happy events and spread to the ears of each family, and the housekeeper of the Niu family took people out to buy all day long, and when he met someone, he smiled and said that the second son of the family was going to get married, and he was married to the eldest girl of the Sincere Bofu.
The Cheng family was also busy with happy events, temporarily suppressing the unhappiness brought by the Zhang family, as for the matter of giving the Zhang family a little color, it was handed over to the Cheng Youqian brothers, and Mrs. Cheng spoke, and no one in the house was allowed to mention this matter again.
But how can there be a wall in the world that does not leak, at least the three princes know about it, and they want to make some articles about it, but they are afraid that Cheng Xiaosi will jump out, and then ask him if he wants to retaliate against her because he can't ask for it, and then he will really be speechless, so he can only choose to pretend not to know.
As for those who knew secretly, they were talking a few words behind their backs, either that the son of the Zhang family was unorthodox or that the Cheng family looked full of flowers, but it was also very empty, and it was rare to be humiliated like this in the capital.
The eldest lady of the Qin family came again for this reason, full of apologies, and the Qin family said very generously that the Cheng family didn't care, "The marriage is determined, and it can only be said that there is no fate." ”
The clouds on his face were light and the wind was light, and he trembled with anger when no one was around, and the next day a deal belonging to the Zhang family was broken, and it broke out that the second son of Zhang and the new first son of Shili Flower Field sprinkled 80,000 taels of news angrily for Miss Bo Youlan to laugh at a night.
"That's a full 80,000 taels, just to make a prostitute laugh, how rich is the Zhang family?"
"It is said that the fifth prince of the Yuan Dynasty will be extinct in the Ten Mile Flower Field after his marriage, and the first son of the new Ten Mile Flower Field is better than the original Yuan Wu Son, I heard that he is the young owner of the Flying Eagle Villa, and he is very arrogant."
"No matter how arrogant you are, it's not that you have been compared to the second son of the Zhang family, Lord Zhang is the governor, and he has a lot of money."
There was a lot of discussion in the city, the emperor smelled the smell of silver and went, last year confiscated two houses, very made a windfall, has not been able to widen the river because the silver was soon widened, the spring water can sail, then there will be more goods to the capital, and there can be a lot of tax silver.
At this time, the emperor, who was a little overstretched, was immediately refreshed when he heard the eighty thousand taels.
At this time, some people speculated that it was the handiwork of the Cheng family, and the affairs of the Yan family let all the families in the capital know the 'bravery' of Shunyi Bofu, and now there is another girl who has been wronged, and some people want to see if they will fight back, or will they choose to forbear, but they didn't expect it, "It's so fast." ”
"This Cheng family, I can't afford to mess with it."
There is no taboo for the family to act, this is who offends them, they will get whom, and they will sprinkle news all over the city at every turn, that is, the emperor can feed whatever he wants, the Zhang family is afraid that it will not be easy to pass this time, who will make the emperor lack money again?
The families in the city could only talk behind their backs, pretending not to know anything on their faces, and they didn't want to offend the Cheng family at this moment.
This Mrs. Yen came, with her two grandchildren, Xuan'er and Wensheng, who were not around their father and mother, were very well-behaved and sensible, and greeted people in a proper manner, not noisy or noisy, Xiao He liked it very much, and called Cheng Xiaosi to take the two children to play.
Mrs. Yuan sat down with a smile, "The second lady of the house is here?" ”
Xiao He hurriedly asked people to go to the Qin family, and when he learned that Mrs. Yuan came to find him, the Qin family immediately guessed what was going on, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and he soon arrived in the front yard.
Sure enough, Mrs. Yuan got down to business when she saw her coming, "I saw the third girl last time, and I liked it very much in my heart, and I thought that such a good girl can't be cheap for outsiders, I have a family here to tell you, are you willing to listen to it?" ”
Qin sat down with a smile, "Madam must be the best candidate for what she said, I don't know which son it is?" ”
Xiao He is also interested, and she also likes Cheng Sanniang very much, so she naturally wants her to marry a good family.
Mrs. Yuan said: "It is the nephew of my mother's sister-in-law, the eldest son of the Jiang family." ”
"The Jiang family has been in the capital for many years, the house is full of scholars, the old man of the family and the Jiang people are all on an errand in the Hanlin Academy, the second master of the house is the mountain chief of the Qianyang Academy, full of nobles, the Jiang family is now also three years ago to get famous, now is the Guozi Jian book, born is also Angzang seven feet a table of talents, full of economy, there was a marriage earlier, and then the marriage was not compatible and the marriage was withdrawn, and the scientific examination was delayed, this year is twenty."
"I was happy when I saw the three girls that day, and the next day I went back to my mother's house and talked to my sister-in-law, yesterday my sister-in-law replied, saying that Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were extremely satisfied, and the Jiang family also nodded, saying that he saw the three girls of the Cheng family, that is, last month, in a jewelry shop, he was willing."
"You say, isn't this fate?"
As soon as I talked about the Qin family, I was stunned for a while, and I felt that this Jiang family was better than the Zhang family, and it was still the maiden family of Mrs. Yuan's sister-in-law, that must be good, that is.
"Will this noble scholar think that my Sanniang doesn't read much?"
Of course, Cheng Sanniang has studied and is literate and hyphenated, but if you want to say poetry, song and dance, there is no such thing, in case the Jiang family is interested, he will have to write poetry
Mrs. Yuan smiled, "The Jiang family is full of scholars, and I won't hide it from you, that is, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang are also well-known in Beijing, but there are pros and cons. ”
"Don't you know, the most important thing in this capital is the talented girl, but no matter how talented you become a relative, you don't have that leisure and elegance to use, and in the end you still have to deal with firewood, rice, oil and salt, and it is rare to see a good girl who takes care of the housework, and she can take care of the housework and take care of the business, and it is even more difficult to find, not to mention that the three girls are still good-looking, this is a good girl who is difficult to find with a lantern."
Mrs. Yuan didn't say nonsense, the Niu family didn't care about Cheng Erniang's marriage, in addition to knowing that she didn't have a round house with Yan Bu in the capital, she also had a reputation as a housekeeper, which shows that no matter what era you are in, you must have a ability to be around.
Her praise of the Qin family almost didn't shed tears, this is the first time that Mrs. Gaomen has praised her daughter like this, which makes people very happy.
In the courtyard of the sisters, Cheng Xiaosi's smiling Xuan'er and Wen Sheng were talking, and Xiao Cheng Qing, who got the news, came and happily pulled Wen Sheng to play with the few novelty toys he had just gotten.
Xun'er is older and understands something, and said with a smile that the fifth uncle is also coming today, "Grandmother didn't let him come, saying that today is not suitable, let him come back another day." ”
"My aunt said that the fifth uncle likes my aunt very much."
Cheng Xiaosi smiled and didn't see his eyebrows, "Really? ”
