Chapter 1286 Determination
Author: Loeva
Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu took a trip to Chengenhou Mansion. When they returned home, their faces were still happy and they seemed to be in a good mood. It seemed that... they had encountered something good that went well with them?
Second Grandma Xu peeked through the crack in the door for a while, then returned to the house and said to Second Master Xu: "I went to my aunt's house several times in the eldest room, and today she looked the happiest. I didn't know what my aunt was doing."
What's the benefit of killing them? Should we go to the Marquis Chengen's Mansion again and inquire about it?"
Mr. Xu Erye poured himself a cup of tea on the ground and said: "Why do you care about these trivial matters in the long room? Even if my aunt really promised them any benefits, the cousins of the Qin family could really let them take advantage of them.
Go? I guess it’s just talk. When the eldest brother refused to marry and spread some random rumors, he almost ruined the reputation of Brother Jian and Jinhua Girl, but he had already offended the Chengen Marquis Mansion.
.That is to say, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are confused and think that with the aunt here, they can cover the sky with one hand and do whatever they want. After all, the aunt is just a woman who must obey her husband and her son. Now that her husband and son are unwilling to listen to her, she has no choice.
Now. If you look at what you have experienced over the past year, you will know what the real situation is. What else is there to worry about?"
Second Mistress Xu thought about it in her mind and smiled: "What the Second Master said is true. Our Brother Rong is officially engaged to be married to Jinrong girl. We have a close kiss with Chengenhou Mansion, which is better than that of the eldest roommate."
We are much closer to Bian. There is no way the Chengenhou Mansion can harm us. Isn’t it because they don’t want to completely break off the Xu family for the sake of our aunt, so they are close to us, but they are alienated from the eldest family?
Is that so? The elder has done so many ridiculous things. If the Chengen Marquis Mansion hadn't been concerned about my aunt, they would have fallen out with them long ago. What do I have to worry about? I'm just watching a show."
Speaking of watching a play, Second Mistress Xu got into a conversation again. She came closer to her husband and said enthusiastically: "The neighbors have been talking about the eldest brother's house recently. They all say that the sister-in-law is delaying the wedding date of Xia Zheng brother's son because she wants to
She regrets the marriage! Is she crazy? The eldest uncle has already decided to get married and she dares to regret it. Could it be that she really doesn’t want Brother Zheng’s reputation and future?!"
Mr. Xu said: "Auntie won't let her do whatever she wants. I've called her over several times. Isn't it just to urge her to set a wedding date as soon as possible?"
Second Mistress Xu curled her lips: "My sister-in-law has such a temper. Even if she really obeys my aunt's order and lets brother Zheng and Miss Lu get married, it is impossible for her to look good on this daughter-in-law in the future. I feel a little sorry for Lu.
The eldest girl is not worth it. Although her family background is more ordinary, she is not a stunning woman, let alone a talented woman, but she has a good temperament and can still get a virtuous evaluation. Whose family can such a girl marry and not live a good life? What if we
The Xu family was still a prestigious third-rank high-ranking official family in the past. She got married, so it was okay to be a little angry. But now the eldest brother's family is not necessarily higher than the Lu family, but the eldest sister-in-law still has to show off her family status.
She has no airs and no dust. If Miss Lu marries her to be her daughter-in-law, isn't she asking for trouble?"
Mr. Xu smacked his lips: "What can we do? The eldest mother-in-law insisted on making this marriage in the first place. The Lu family also insisted on keeping the promise and refused to break the marriage agreement. No matter how much suffering they suffered in the future, they would just have to endure it.
Come on. When our family was in trouble, the eldest mother-in-law insisted on marrying her just for the sake of a good reputation for being trustworthy. People in the world often praise the Lu family's family style. Even though the Lu family is now not as good as before, its status in the scholarly world is still the same.
Much better than our Xu family. In the past, I always felt that the Lu family was stupid and their reputation was just false. How could it compare to the benefits of being a high-ranking official? Even if our Xu family was criticized for betrayal, we still enjoyed it for decades.
Wealth and honor. But now that things have changed, I have come to think about it. The wealth and honor that we have gained in the past few decades are all due to the close family of the Qin family. Without the Qin family, we would probably
What does family mean? If the Xu family hadn't betrayed their trust back then, they would have suffered for two or three years at most. When the emperor ascended the throne, we wouldn't have to worry. But what about now? My eldest uncle has been an official for decades and has been discovered.
An unjust case was decided, and decades of hard work were in vain. Just because the Xu family did not have a good reputation among scholars, and there was no one in the court who could say a good word for him. If something happened to the eldest son again, outsiders would only
If they gossip about them, who will protect them? In contrast, the Lu family has a good reputation. Even if the Lu family's cousin has not had a good life these years, he still has connections in the court. Although these connections cannot bring him down
Being given a high-ranking official position will not add insult to injury. What about our Xu family? Are we so lucky?"
Mr. Xu came closer to his wife and patted the back of her hand: "So, a good reputation is still very important. Even if you suffer a little loss, you have to keep it! Although the eldest aunt is stubborn and has a bad temper, her thoughts
That's right. She insisted on marrying another girl from the Lu family to the Xu family because she hoped that the good reputation of the Lu family would benefit Brother Zheng and the entire Xu family. Unfortunately, the eldest sister-in-law is not a sensible person and cannot understand the eldest aunt.
Brother Zheng is a foolish and filial person who only listens to the orders of his parents. No one can say what will happen to the eldest son in the future. Fortunately, we separated the family early and did not share the burden.
After so many bad things, with the support of good in-laws, we will have a long good life in the future! Let's be careful and don't let others take advantage of us, let alone do stupid things that are easily criticized by others, and learn to run a good life.
Good reputation. Anyway, we are just the second brother-in-law. In the past, we would only act behind the eldest brother. The eldest son is responsible for all the Xu family’s faults. The second brother-in-law is innocent and no one else can blame us. Without the burden, we will live another life.
After ten or eight years, who says we can’t have a clear name like the Lu family?”
Second Mistress Xu smiled and said: "On that day, it will be our brother Rong who will benefit! He has both fame and good reputation, and a daughter-in-law who was born in a marquis family. He has everything he needs, and he must be an official.
Everything went smoothly. How could that silly kid from the eldest family be more blessed than him?!"
The couple laughed at each other for a while, both feeling that their choice couldn't be smarter.
After finishing laughing, Mistress Xu stood up and said, "Brother Rong should be back soon, right? He worked hard on his essay last night and said he had to hand in his homework today. I don't know if my husband praised him."
Mr. Xu said: "He has done well in his homework recently. The teacher has praised him several times, and today must be no exception." Speaking of this, he was quite grateful to Qin Jian, his cousin, "The notes Brother Jian sent over are really good.
, I heard that when Yongjia Hou personally taught him his homework, he wrote it down carefully every day. If there were any omissions, the Prince of Suning County, who was a classmate of Brother Jian at the time, helped to correct the omissions. Brother Rong
After my son got the notes, he read them every day. He said that he understood more clearly than what his husband taught and benefited a lot. Without these notes, Rong's homework would not have improved so quickly. I met his husband a few days ago.
The teacher said that Brother Rong can go out and try out the Tongsheng test next spring. Brother Rong can be where he is today, although Yongjiahou has never personally guided him in his studies, but it can be regarded as half a teacher's favor. Brother Rong will go well in the future.
If you get a meritorious title, you must go and kowtow to him in person to express your gratitude."
Second Mistress Xu smiled quickly and said: "That's natural, our family is not a white-eyed wolf who doesn't repay kindness!"
The couple looked at each other and smiled in perfect agreement. Thanking the teacher was just an excuse. The most important thing was to find a reliable name and get closer to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion.
Xu Erye suddenly remembered something: "By the way, didn't Brother Rong say that following Brother Jian, I met several young masters from the Duke's house, and they agreed to take turns to do some literary meetings? It will happen next month.
Come to our brother Rong. We don’t have a garden at home and there aren’t many houses. It’s not decent enough to be a host. Yesterday I met a former classmate and I heard that his family has a garden in the western suburbs. The scenery is pretty good. Now
The chrysanthemums are blooming just right, and they are often rented out for banquets. I said hello to him and wanted to borrow his house for a day. Remember to take someone to prepare it later. Since you are going to interact with the nobles, you can't let it happen.
Brother, I have lost face. This time, the host must handle things properly."
Mrs. Xu said happily: "I am still worried about this matter. I want to borrow a garden from my neighbor Qi's family. I didn't expect that the second master has already solved this matter. Don't worry, second master, I will definitely take care of this matter."
of!"
When Mistress Xu thought about her son being able to interact on an equal footing with the young masters of the Duke's House, she recalled the most glorious days of the Xu family. Sure enough, getting married to the House of Cheng'en House was the best thing for them as a couple.
The choice was made. Although Qin Jinrong was still young, Xu Rong had to wait for many years before he could successfully marry a wife and have children. But the disadvantages of having a grandson a few years later were simply compared with the benefits that the second wife of the Xu family got from this marriage.
It’s insignificant! As long as we can continue to cling to the thigh of Cheng’enhou Mansion and ask her son to marry a few years later, what does it matter? Second Mistress Xu thinks that she is not a mean mother-in-law like her sister-in-law. In the future, Qin Jinrong will come in.
She will definitely love her daughter-in-law as if she were her own daughter and will never let her suffer any injustice!
Thinking of this, Mistress Xu recalled what her mother-in-law had mentioned to her before. Her son was old and had already found out who was going to be married, but he still had to wait a few years before he could get married. Should she leave him alone in the house first and wait until he got married?
Send him away? Otherwise, it would be too unfair to ask such a young man to stay alone in an empty room for several years without anyone to serve him.
How is this possible? Boys should not be too pampered. Premature ejaculation of Yuanyang can easily harm the body and is not conducive to longevity. It is better to let the son live in peace and quiet for a few years. Without the distraction of others, the son can concentrate on studying for the imperial examination.
, in the future, if you marry your wife, you can be more affectionate and devoted to your wife, isn't it good? Why find someone to stand between the young couple? Qin Jinrong's temper is not easy to talk to. What if the person in the house becomes restless and breaks down?
The friendship between a young couple can even lead to a child, and the good in-laws are about to fall out!
Second Mistress Xu made up her mind and began to think about what reasons to use to convince her mother-in-law. A great life is waiting for their second wife, so they can't be confused about such trivial matters!
