Aunt Wang hurriedly made tea and said:

"Oh, Xiao Nian, don't think about it if the camellia has already asked her to buy it, your father won't blame you, if it's really weird, I'll help you talk to him." ”

Aunt Wang saw that Jiang Nian's eyes were a little red, and she thought that she was sad about the camellia, so she quickly changed the topic:

"This Miss Cui is actually a child with a hard life. Now everyone says that she has a brother who is angry, but not to mention that her parents have left early, and Master Cui has not yet reached the bleak situation of her family. ”

Finally getting to the point, Jiang Nian hurriedly sat up straight and waited to listen.

Aunt Wang looked at her appearance, smiled, and admonished again: "You are a person who likes to listen to these gossip, remember, but don't tell others, after all, this is the privacy of the official master's family." ”

Jiang Nian immediately patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I'll just listen to it, and I will never talk to anyone else." ”

But I was thinking in my heart, talk to Yuming, he shouldn't be a human being.

Aunt Wang smiled with satisfaction and began to tell the story: "Brother and sister Cui, my brother's name is Yuheng, and my sister's name is Yuxiu.

The hometown is in Yueshan, and the ancestors have been farming and reading for generations, and the people have not been prosperous until the generation of Lord Cui has come out.

They have a wealthy Wu family in the local area, who seems to be a side branch of a large family in the decline of the previous dynasty, and has some grange real estate, but he only wants to climb a family official, so he sponsored a few poor students in the local area. ”

"Is there Master Cui here?" Jiang Nian said as he drank tea.

Aunt Wang nodded and said:

"This Wu family is also very discerning, since the father of Lord Cui, he has often taken care of it, and he does not think that the Cui family is poor, he is commensurate with each other, and he has been in contact, which is quite a good family.

Cui's father also has a bit of literati arrogance, and in addition to studying, he refuses to accept the Wu family's subsidy.

But Master Wu took a fancy to Master Cui's potential and proposed to Cui's father to betrothal the two children. ”

"The Wu family took the initiative to mention it, so why is it that Lord Cui's brothers and sisters are not young now, and they haven't married yet. ”

Jiang Nian ate peanut candy and licked his mouth, but it didn't affect his speech.

When Aunt Wang saw Jiang Nian like this, she laughed,

"Eat slowly, I'll keep all the candy on this plate. ”

Pushing the plate with sugar, Aunt Wang continued:

"This Cui family and the Wu family first booked the eldest sister of the Wu family and Master Cui, and after a while, Miss Cui and the younger brother of the Wu family were determined. ”

Originally, it was good to have such a family, and the marriage of the son and daughter was settled. But Cui's mother is a blessed person, and she went soon after the family appointment.

The two of them also had a good relationship, and Cui's father lasted for another year and a half, and he also followed. The Cui family only left the two brothers and sisters to rely on each other, and life was even more difficult.

The Wu family was originally to prevent Master Cui from regretting his marriage after high school, so he hired Miss Cui as his daughter-in-law.

As a result, the Cui family's parents went, but it was the Wu family who regretted the marriage first. ”

Jiang Nian was shocked: "Regret the marriage! Won't the affection of these two families be completely ruined?"

Aunt Wang shook her head and sighed,

"Think about it, his parents are gone, leaving only Bo Tian and his younger sister, Master Cui was a half-grown teenager at that time, how did he manage this family, he could only sell his belongings little by little.

The Wu family is not without effort, but they are always reluctant to marry their daughter and endure hardships.

Gradually, Miss Wu also reached her age, and the Wu family couldn't wait, so they resorted to some means, only saying that they wanted the jade pendant in Lord Cui's hand, and they were willing to help Lord Cui rush the travel expenses for the exam. ”

"Isn't this taking advantage of people's danger?" Jiang Nian exclaimed, "However, it's a good thing that such a family doesn't get married." ”

"Master Cui is a smart person, and he doesn't understand anything at this time, so he has to return the jade pendant to the Wu family.

At that time, Master Cui returned the jade pendant of his engagement to his sister. Then he sold all his ancestral property, and made up his mind not to return to his hometown. ”

"It's a shame, if it were me, I wouldn't go back. Master Cui is following his father and has backbone. ”

Jiang Nian pouted with a teacup,

"This Wu family, tsk, originally had an impure purpose. ”

"But no, now this Lord Cui is competing, and he has won the appreciation of the imperial court, and he has made a real shortcoming.

If this eldest sister of the Wu family had been a little righteous at the beginning, she would now be a real official wife. ”

Aunt Wang, who is accustomed to seeing wind and waves, also pouted at this time, and was very disdainful of the Wu family's approach.

She and Jiang Nian added some tea, and then spoke: "But the things in this world are things that only you can't think of, and no one can't do them." ”

"What's the matter, the Wu family still has the face to come to the door?"

For a moment, Jiang Nian wondered if he knew too little about the world.

The Wu family asked to marry Miss Cui again! ”

Aunt Wang slapped the table,

"Some people are just dead skin!"

"Someone who has gone back on her word again and again, does she dare to marry?" Jiang Nian covered her mouth after speaking, and she didn't know how much Aunt Wang knew, for fear that she would miss it.

Fortunately, Aunt Wang didn't hear it, just smiled,

"How could it be, Master Cui has not paid attention to it, and only entertained him with the courtesy of his fellow villagers. ”

Jiang Nian touched his chest and said that's good.

But in my heart, I was saying, why not, the pen and ink I bought at your house is to please this Wu Gufeng.

After thinking about it, Jiang Nian asked again, "Then in Yueshan, are there many people who know about this matter?"

"Even we know it here, you say. Aunt Wang shook her head, looking helpless.

Jiang Nian said curiously, "This kind of thing, Master Cui will definitely not say more, it can't be the Wu family who said it, right?

Aunt Wang rolled her eyes, "How dare you say this? This is all said by the young master of the Wu family!"

"What?!" Jiang Nian covered his mouth, this Wu Gufeng, how could he be such a broken mouth.

"That Young Master Wu is a swinger, he got drunk one day, showed off the relationship between his family and Master Cui with others, taught people a lot, and even told the matter of engagement. ”

Aunt Wang couldn't stop shaking her head when she said this,

"The Wu family also did it, and everyone knows about it, and they actually have the face to come and ask to marry Miss Cui. ”

Then Aunt Wang leaned over and whispered:

"His eldest sister, who was already married, made him miserable.

As soon as the matter came out, she was a lot of anger in her husband's family, and she accepted three concubines in three months, and also raised the aunt who gave birth to the eldest son to be a flat wife!"

"Is this to be inseparable?" Jiang Nian felt confused when he heard it.

Aunt Wang took a sip of tea, and then continued,

"Hmph, if you want to say that the concubines are not divided, the Wu family is not divided.

The Wu family's mother-in-law did not give birth, and the two sisters and brothers were both concubines, and they also grew up with their aunts, and they were recorded in their mother's name when they were teenagers.

When discussing the marriage, it was not explained that it was only after the marriage that the husband's family found out. ”

We don't think that big families can pay attention to this.

The husband's family of Miss Wu is not obvious now, but the ancestors have also been out of the Jinshi master, where are people willing to be so angry, it is good to not divorce a wife. ”

Jiang Nian sighed after hearing this, "Aunt Wang, I feel so happy." ”

Aunt Wang smiled happily when she heard this, "That's because you have a good father, if your mother went back then, your father would continue the strings, then you may not have such a day now." ”

Yes, Daddy sacrificed too much for me.

Jiang Nian's heart was a little sour.
