Chapter 18: The Ding Family
The old lady sat on the main seat, and listened to the third lady with a smile on her lips about the people she came into contact with yesterday.
It wasn't until the third lady finished talking about the situation of several families that the old lady spoke without hurry.
"The third daughter-in-law, your motherly heart understands everything you know, but if you want to be a family that is blameless in all aspects, it is even difficult.
It is our family, in the eyes of outsiders, the in-laws are kind, the brothers and concubines are harmonious, and the children and grandchildren are filial.
But isn't there anything in our house that makes my family dissatisfied?
Regarding the fact that Yunsong and their long-term war abroad have been going on for many years, don't you have half a complaint in your heart?
It's not that you don't have it, but you just keep it in your heart and don't dare to say it.
If she could, what woman would be willing to force herself to be a reasonable lady.
If you have a choice, I'm afraid you don't want to marry into the family of military generals! ”
The old lady's words directly made several daughters-in-law in the hall red-eyed, if they could, who would want to suffer from separation.
Husbands and sons are all in the army, and when they suffer from separation, they still have to worry about their hearts all day long, how can others understand this anxiety?
The old lady saw that several daughters-in-law were red-eyed, so she smiled and joked to herself, "Look at my old woman who can't speak, and she makes the daughters-in-law cry." ”
The lord of Suihua raised his hand and pressed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and after wiping away the wetness from the corners of his eyes, he spoke softly.
"Mother-in-law...... If there is really a next life, Suihua still wants to marry her husband and marry into the Qin family to continue to be your daughter-in-law. ”
The lord of Suihua County made a statement, and the rest of the ladies followed suit.
The old lady was amused by the way they were anxious to express their affection.
"You guys, I just said so much, I didn't want you to come to me to guarantee the next life.
This life is not over yet, worry about what to do in the next life?
I say this just to tell the third daughter-in-law that no matter what kind of family you choose for Nan'er, from the day she marries in, troubles must have been waiting for her.
When her daughter's family was at home, she was a pampered guest and was protected everywhere.
But after you arrive at someone else's house, the only one who can protect you is yourself, and you live your life by yourself. ”
The old lady's words are reasonable, and the third lady can't say anything to refute after listening to it, just as the old lady said, no matter how good the family she finds for Nan'er, a person's life is so long, no one knows if this family can continue to be good.
The third lady was thinking about it, when she heard the old lady call Qin Nanning over.
"Nan'er, you come."
Qin Nanning got up from her seat and walked in front of the old lady, "Grandmother! ”
"Nan'er, grandmother asks you, are you afraid that you will not be able to handle the relationship with your husband's family and all kinds of trivial matters in the inner house after marriage?"
After the old lady asked, she looked at Qin Nanning fixedly.
Qin Nanning shook her head under her gaze, "Back to grandmother, Nanning is not afraid!" Nanning has been taught by her mother since she was a child, and she has been enlightened by her grandmother, and she knows that people get along with each other and should exchange hearts for hearts.
Nanning only needs to do his duty, and what he can achieve can only depend on the hearts of others.
As for the things that her mother was worried about being harassed by her mother-in-law and not getting along with her concubine, Nan Ning was even more afraid.
Grandmother, no matter who Nan Ning marries, Nan Ning always remembers that I am from the Qin family, and the men of the Qin family can fight in all directions, so where will the daughter of the Qin family go?
What is there to fear from a mere inner house? ”
Qin Nanning's words made everyone in the hall look at her with admiration.
The county lord of Suihua smiled and teased the third lady, "Third brother and sister, just Nan'er's intentions, you are still so worried about picking around, will the daughter of the other side still marry?" ”
The second lady and the fourth lady also smiled and made a few jokes, and the atmosphere in the hall was completely lively.
The old lady glanced at Qin Nanning with great satisfaction, "Good boy, I see that you have a soft temperament on weekdays, but your ambition is not low if you don't succeed."
Well, she is worthy of being the daughter of our Qin family. In this case, your grandmother has decided for you that you will be married.
Sun Dingsheng, the head of the Qing family of Dali Temple, I once heard your grandfather mention that he is a good descendant.
If you marry him, you will have to take on the responsibility of the granddaughter-in-law of the head of the house, and your grandmother asks you, can you afford it? ”
As soon as the third lady heard that it was from the Dali Temple Qing family, she stood up excitedly, "Mother-in-law, do you mean the Dali Temple Qing Ding family?" But yesterday the ladies of their house did not come to the banquet! ”
"Yesterday was the day when the wife of Ding Xueyi, the secretary of Dali Temple, went to the city to offer incense, and she went every month, never stopped, so she didn't go to the banquet.
Mrs. Ding is my niece's niece's handkerchief, and I sent a letter back a few days ago, asking my niece and daughter-in-law to go to the bottom of the matter with Mrs. Ding.
Last night, my niece and daughter-in-law wrote back to me, and the Ding family also intends to marry us.
I didn't say it just now, I was thinking that the third daughter-in-law is Nan Ning's mother, and Nan Ning's marriage should be decided by you.
If you had a suitable person yesterday, I would not have mentioned it.
Dali Temple Qing Ding family, what is your opinion? ”
The smile on the third lady's face was almost uncontrollable, "Mother-in-law, this Ding family has nothing to say!" ”
"Since you don't have any opinions, then I'll let people go and give the Ding family a mouth, so that the Ding family can come to the door as soon as possible to discuss their relatives.
Time is of the essence and there is no further delay. ”
The old lady's sentence of urgency immediately reminded everyone in the hall of the saint's intention to recruit the daughters of the Qin family into the palace.
Qin Zining raised her eyes to look at Qin Nanning, and Qin Nanning also looked at her, the two of them knew when Qin Nanning would enter the palace, and they both knew how tight time was.
Qin Zi stood up after thinking about it, and said to the old lady in a soft voice: "Grandmother, granddaughter thinks, can you spread this family matter to the outside world as soon as the Qin family and the Ding family discuss a good relationship?" ”
The old lady only thought about it for a moment and understood Qin Zining's intentions, "You want to dispel the idea of the Holy Lord wanting to recruit Nan Ning into the palace, right?" ”
Qin Zining said solemnly: "Yes." ”
Jun Lingan has only been on the throne for a long time, and now is the time to protect his reputation.
As long as the marriage of the Qin and Ding families spreads, even if the marriage process of the two families has not been completed, as long as the people in Beijing know that the Qin and Ding families are discussing marriage, Jun Lingan will not be able to do anything to compete with the courtiers.
Although the other people in the hall reacted a little slower, they all slowly came back to their senses.
"This matter still needs to be communicated with the Ding family. It's just that the saint wants to recruit the daughters of the Qin family into the palace and can't say it clearly, how can we give the Ding family an explanation? ”
The third lady said worriedly.
Qin Zining smiled lightly, "Third aunt, we don't need to give the Ding family an explanation, because the news that the Qin and Ding families are discussing marriage is going to flow out of the Ding family." ”
