Clearance

Uncle Xu did not think as much as his wife: "Impossible! My aunt would not do such a thing to us. She has always valued the Xu family's reputation the most, and there is no way she could ruin our family's reputation outside! Besides, the rumors outside were so powerful that my aunt would not do anything like this to us.

If she fails to come forward to clarify, I'm afraid she is really seriously ill!"

Grandma Xu stamped her feet and said, "I don't care if she is really sick or fake?! Without the connivance of the Qin family, it would be impossible for such rumors to spread to everyone. We got the news later than others, and now the rumors are no longer known.

Where have they gone? Sister Xiu's marriage has not been settled yet. How can she get married in the future after being said like this? I won't accept it! My aunt only said that she will make the final decision on Sister Xiu's marriage and will definitely find a husband.

He was from a good family, but he didn’t know who he was. How could he be related to Lu Chuming?! His family was just a third-grade servant, not even close to a high-ranking family! It’s just that Lu Chuming is now related to the Imperial College

Jiu's daughter is engaged. What if the Sun family has some misunderstandings about our family and adds trouble to Brother Zheng's imperial examination?! Even if they don't do anything, with the Sun family's connections in Beijing, there will be many

People will give Brother Zheng the first meal. How can my aunt be so good and cause such a big trouble to our family?!"

Uncle Xu is actually quite troubled. He is not as dissatisfied with the Lu family's marriage as his wife. Things are different now. It would be good if Lu Chuming could really become his son-in-law. But since the other party has already made an appointment with the Sun family

Dear, of course he is not willing to offend the Imperial Academy Jijiu just for the sake of a reasonably good candidate for his son-in-law. Moreover, the entire Sun family behind Sun Jijiu is also a scholarly and famous family that cannot be underestimated in this dynasty. For the sake of himself and his son

For the sake of the future, it is reasonable to make good friends with such a family. However, before he did anything, his aunt revealed the secret and offended the Sun family. How should this matter end?

Uncle Xu had to ask his wife: "If you think about it carefully, did my aunt really not mention the Lu family's marriage to you? Didn't she say anything about a token or something like that?"

Grandma Xu said angrily: "Where is the token?! At that time, Brother Zheng had just been engaged to the daughter of the Lu family. I was also thinking that Brother Jian had not yet been married, so there might not be hope for Sister Xiu.

It's just that the Yao family is not easy to deal with. Even if my aunt really wanted us to discuss marriage with the Lu family, she didn't have time to ask. My mother-in-law passed away a few days ago. Our whole family has to observe filial piety, so why discuss marriage? Let alone a token.

Yes! Even my aunt only hinted a few times, saying that she already had an idea about Sister Xiu’s marriage, so we didn’t have to worry. In the past, I only trusted and obeyed my aunt, so how could I ask more questions?

"

Her original plan was to wait until the day of filial piety before discussing things with Mr. Xu. It was not easy to talk about marriage during the filial piety period, so how could she not be clear about this rule? No matter how she planned it in private, she still had to abide by the etiquette on the surface.

Yes, she can't let people gossip about her daughter. Of course, by the time the Xu family becomes filial, Mr. Xu's past events will probably be mostly forgotten by the world.

In Grandma Xu's expectations, although the Lu family could be considered, it was definitely not the first choice. She originally hoped that Xu would use her means to find a more ideal marriage for Xu Xiu.

The Enhou Mansion has made friends with so many dignitaries, and Xu Xiu is a talented and beautiful daughter of an official family. As long as Xu has her heart, are she still afraid that she won't be able to find Xu Xiu a marriage with a wealthy family?!

The result is now like this!

Grandma Xu was so angry that she was shaking all over, but Uncle Xu was calmer than her: "In this case, there are rumors that our family has a crush on Lu Chuming, and they have to let my aunt make a decision during the filial piety period. There is no reason at all.

Well? Then as long as we clear things up, people outside will no longer criticize our Xu family. Originally, this matter has nothing to do with us, it’s just that my aunt has to suffer some injustice. "

Grandma Xu sneered: "She is the cause of everything. Even if she is really wronged, she should suffer it!" She suddenly remembered something, "Did my aunt mention this marriage to the master? What if?

What did the master promise, or what token was he promised..."

The couple looked at each other and hurried to find Mr. Xu to ask for details.

Mr. Xu is still bedridden from a stroke, and since the separation, he has become annoyed with his son and wife, and is unwilling to even look at them. As soon as they come to greet him, he closes his eyes and pretends to sleep, no matter what they say,

He didn't pay any attention to it. On weekdays, Mr. Xu would only react when his grandchildren appeared and when his close followers spoke to him.

In this way, when Uncle Xu and his wife came to inquire, Uncle Xu naturally ignored them. But today, Uncle Xu and his wife were not as patient as usual. Seeing him pretending to be asleep and ignoring others, Mrs. Xu became anxious.

I can't wait to rush up and ask for clarification.

Uncle Xu stopped his wife, frowned and said to Mr. Xu: "Father, this matter is related to the reputation of the Xu family! You don't know at home what people outside say about our Xu family! Auntie doesn't care about it, but it hurts her.

Sister Xiu and Sister Lan have suffered a lot. If this continues, they will

I can't even get married! I know you blame me for splitting up with my second wife, but what's wrong with Sister Xiu and Sister Lan? And brother Zheng, my aunt has offended the Sun family, but it's me who's implicated.

Brother Zheng, even if you don't care about my son, how can you not even care about your grandson?"

Mr. Xu was slightly moved. He opened his eyes and muttered something vaguely: "No... no token. Your aunt... just likes... the Lu family... has a good future..."

Uncle Xu understood and immediately took his wife out: "The matter is clear. This is my aunt's own intention, and my father has never promised anything. I will find a way to ask someone to bring a message to the Sun family and explain the matter clearly. I think everything will be fine."

Son."

Grandma Xu curled her lips and said, "Wouldn't it be better if the master made it clear earlier? Why are you hesitating about the matter of just one sentence? Even if he annoyed us about the separation of the family, it was not we who proposed the separation. It was clearly

The second brother-in-law is making a fuss about dividing the family, and my aunt even helped preside over the division of the family, and allocated a lot of property to the second brother-in-law. I don’t blame the second brother-in-law, and I don’t blame my aunt, so why are you complaining about us instead?"

"Stop saying a few words!" Uncle Xu scolded his wife, "He is old and in poor health. He has been angry these days. Why do you care about him? Is it possible that the filial piety you showed in the past is hard to come by?

Is it pretending?"

Grandma Xu snorted coldly. Of course, her filial piety in the past was not fake, but at that time, Mr. Xu was still a high-ranking official and a respected elder, so she should be filial. What about now? Just because Mr. Xu committed a crime in his official duties.

He made such a big mistake that he himself had to resign and retire, and the reputation of the Xu family was greatly affected.

, Xu Zheng's future was even more hindered, and she was forced to accept a marriage from the Lu family. Her precious son should have had a better future, but his biological grandfather ruined it. How could she continue to respect filial piety?

This father-in-law? Now that she still remembers to order her servants to take care of his daily life, it is already very rare, okay?!

Grandma Xu did not answer her husband's words, and went to find someone to arrange for someone to deliver the message. As a traditional civil servant family, the Xu family and the Sun family also had contacts. Although they did not have a deep friendship, they also had

A few friends who have made good friends with the Sun family. Now it is not difficult to ask the female relatives of one or two of them to help be lobbyists. But if this happens, Xu's family will be bleeding. They have just finished dividing the family, and they have already eaten

It's really heartbreaking to see people continue to spend huge amounts of money after suffering huge losses.

And this is all Xu's fault!

After Grandma Xu angrily gave orders to her confidants, she sent people down to prepare the generous gifts. At this time, Xu Lan walked in lightly and saluted her with a pale face.

Where does Grandma Xu have the energy to deal with the concubine and maintain her virtuous image now? She waved her hand and wanted to send her away: "You go back to your room first, I'm busy right now."

Xu Lan reported tremblingly: "Mom, my great-aunt seems to have spoken to my sister in private, and asked her to make two pieces of needlework, which are men's clothes..."

"What did you say?!" Grandma Xu's expression changed, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Xu Lan said fearfully: "My daughter thinks her mother knows..."

Grandma Xu was so angry that she slammed the table, left her alone, got up and went to her daughter's room to question: "What did your great-aunt say to you? How could you give her your sewing?!"

Xu Xiu's eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying, but she shed a lot less tears. She was standing next to the bed frame, her eyes vacant. After hearing her mother's question, it took her a while to react, and she silently

She cried and said: "My great-aunt said... she wanted to arrange a good marriage for me, so that I wouldn't have to worry... I asked my great-aunt to talk to my father and mother, and she said that my grandfather knew..."

Grandma Xu closed her eyes and asked again: "What about men's clothing?!"

"I made new clothes for my brother..." Xu Xiu threw herself on the pillow and cried again, "My aunt said that I would give it to the mistress of that family and let them see my sewing. She also told me to do my best.

Already..."

Grandma Xu was speechless. Ever since Mr. Xu resigned and Mrs. Xu died of illness, the Xu family has dismissed many servants, and sometimes it is inevitable that there will be some shortage of manpower. And Xu Zheng has not worn clothes made from outside since he was a child, and he has been missing from the family.

As a needleworker, his clothes had to be taken care of by his personal attendants. Sometimes Xu Xiu and Xu Lan also made some. Xu Xiu made them every season, while Xu Lan mostly made fan covers and shoes.

Small items such as socks. During the filial piety period, it is reasonable and reasonable for Master Xu Xiu to make two new clothes for Xu Zheng. Grandma Xu never thought much about it. How could she have expected that such a thing would happen?

I don’t know where Mrs. Xu sent these two pieces of clothing! If you want to marry the Lu family, don’t you just have to talk to Qin Youzhen? What are you doing with the needlework of the weak girl in the boudoir? And you didn’t return it after reading it.

return!

Grandma Xu couldn't sit still and gritted her teeth and said: "No! Even if I come to the door to make people uncomfortable, I have to ask my aunt to find out! She is supposed to be helping her mother's family, so why is she ruining the reputation of the younger generation?

?Is what she did a human thing? If my daughter really can’t get married, I will never be done with her!”
