Xu has been vomiting blood a lot, and every time she vomits, she looks like she is about to die, but she always gets better within a few days. Therefore, whether the Qin family or the Xu family see her vomiting blood again,

, she didn’t panic too much. Even the girls waiting around her were doing what they were supposed to do in an orderly manner, giving medicine, reporting messages, and calling in the doctor... The main room of Songfeng Hall soon calmed down.

.

Uncle Xu was a little sarcastic, and Grandma Xu was a little uneasy at first, but she quickly and confidently said to her husband: "My aunt is too temperamental. It is clear that Sister Xiu has made a good marriage arrangement, and she is interested in her."

It’s good, it’s good for the family, and there’s nothing to fault about it. My aunt asked us to break off the engagement for no reason. We kept our promise and refused to break it, and she even vomited blood. My aunt is sick now, what are she thinking about all day long?

?Why do you seem to be getting more and more confused? Is it because you are getting older?"

Uncle Xu glanced at his wife and understood that she wanted to shirk the responsibility before the Qin family blamed them, but how could things be so easy?

Sure enough, Mrs. Yao quickly and rudely asked Uncle Xu and his wife to leave Songfeng Hall, and sneered: "Our lady is just worried that her grand-nephew daughter will be wronged, and hopes that she can find a better marriage.

Rather than marrying off at a young age to fill a house. You and your wife are greedy for profit. In order to climb high, you disregard the dignity of the Xu family, which has been scholarly for generations. Our wife is not so shameless! You have the nerve to make our wife vomit blood.

, you are still making sarcastic remarks here. Since you look down upon the teachings of our elder, our wife, then why are you going to the door of our Chengenhou Mansion? Go back to where you came from! Don’t tarnish the reputation of our Qin family.

Lintel!" Once again, she drove people away. Afterwards, she spread her remarks unceremoniously, placing all the blame for Xu's worsening condition on Xu's parents' house.

For this reason, even the second brother-in-law of the Xu family had to draw a clear line between himself and the eldest brother in front of others, and even went to the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion to visit the doctor from time to time to show that he was not a disrespectful and ungrateful person like Xu's family.

They just got into a good marriage, but they are so arrogant. They usually look down upon the second wife of the Xu family. They also have some backbone, so don’t join in with them!

Grandma Xu was furious at home, complaining that Mr. Xu had vomited blood at the wrong time and was being unreasonable. She also deeply resented Mr. Yao for turning his back on others and spreading rumors so that the world misunderstood their family. They would fight wherever they could.

Are you being arrogant and domineering because of your good in-laws? What an injustice! Uncle Xu tried to explain to his neighbors, relatives and friends. Naturally, they smiled and said they would not believe the rumors in person, but what was he actually thinking in his heart?

Can you explain clearly?

Uncle Xu began to worry that these rumors would affect his eldest son's career and reputation and his eldest daughter's marriage. Fortunately, Xu Zheng's friends outside have not been affected too much for the time being. They are familiar with Xu Zheng's personality and can only understand Xu Zheng at most.

They felt that he was unlucky and that the elders in his family were immoral, but they would not misunderstand his own character. As for Xu Xiu, the Gui family had no plans to break off the engagement, but were just eager to marry someone into the family. For this reason, a

The procedures and etiquette before getting married are all simple and fast. According to this speed, Xu Xiu will officially get married soon after the beginning of spring, in February.

Although Xu Xiu's dowry and Xu's parents' house had already been prepared, and they only needed a few new items that needed to be purchased immediately, the speed was really scary. From the engagement to the wedding, it only took one month.

Kungfu! Even if it is a continuation of the string, this is too much, and it seems a bit... not respectful enough.

If it were another family, and their daughter was treated with such neglect, she might refuse the marriage, or at least protest to the in-laws to force them to change their attitude. However, Xu's parents are now afraid that the Gui family will change their mind.

, As long as the Gui family has no intention of disliking Xu Xiu and the wedding date is set hastily, what does it matter?

After discussing with Grandma Xu, Uncle Xu decided to grit his teeth and agree to marry his daughter in February according to the Gui family's wishes. After her daughter married into the Gui family, she captured her husband's heart and won over her husband's family.

When Xu Zhengen's examination is over and he needs to choose an official, he will be able to get the help of Gui Shilang and get a good position. From then on, he will rise to the top. If his daughter Xu Xiu can be more ambitious and get pregnant with Gui Ergong's child as soon as possible, then

When Xu Zheng needs the help of the Gui family, the situation will be more favorable.

Therefore, the Xu family agreed to all the requests made by the Gui family without hesitation. Even the person sent by the Gui family to deliver the message was a little surprised. After returning home, he whispered to Mrs. Gui privately: "It seems that the Xu family is

They are determined to covet the second son of our family, and they must hold on to this marriage no matter what. Even if our family's demands are excessive, they don't care. How does this look like a serious marriage? Even if the Xu family is not as prosperous as it used to be.

If you are in urgent need of help, you won't be so humble, right? How can you still have the integrity of a scholar here?"

Mrs. Gui was noncommittal. Grandma Gui had some thoughts in her mind, and whispered to her mother-in-law: "Although it was the second uncle who met Miss Xu by chance and saw that she was born like the second sibling, he just wanted to marry her, but the Xu family is so eager.

It doesn't look like it was an accident...could it be that even the meeting at the Lantern Festival was deliberately done by the Xu family? Isn't the eldest son of the Xu family familiar with his second uncle? Maybe he heard about his second uncle and his second sibling

How could such a coincidence be possible otherwise? On that day, I went over to see Miss Xu in person. I felt that she didn’t look very much like the second younger sibling. Maybe her dress on the Lantern Festival night made her look more attractive.

That’s right. Such deliberate efforts here, this character’s character is really worrying..."

Mrs. Gui was as clear as day and had already figured it out: "You don't need to say more about this matter. Since the marriage has been decided and the second child is willing to marry, let's do it. If the Xu family is not good, they should marry the girl earlier.

, I don’t have to have much contact with the Xu family in the future. I just want my second son to have someone to take care of him, and to have children as soon as possible. Other things come second. Anyway, in our Gui family, our second son’s daughter-in-law has always been the only one.

, no one can get past her!"

Although Grandma Gui was a little jealous, she had no intention of arguing with the dead person, so she smiled obediently and said: "Since mother said so, let's do it. If I marry my second uncle earlier, the whole family can feel at ease soon."

."

Mrs. Gui nodded and said: "Go to the second daughter-in-law's natal family in person and explain her words clearly so that they don't have any knots in their hearts. When the newlyweds get married, the children born to them will also be called the second daughter-in-law in the future.

As mother, the incense of the second son's daughter-in-law must be worshiped by him. No matter what happens in the future, the second son's in-law family is the only ones in his heart. If the Xu family is honest, it's fine. If they are not honest, let the master keep them away.

Move the ground out of the way so that you don't have to stand there all day long to be an eyesore!"

Grandma Gui agreed with a smile, and immediately discussed with her mother-in-law what kind of door-to-door gifts she should prepare for Grandma Gui’s family.

How did Xu's family know that the Gui family had this plan? They were still busy preparing a dowry for Xu Xiu. After all, they were married to powerful officials, so even if they were marrying to fill a house, it couldn't be too shabby. Grandma Xu even had some thoughts in her heart.

Wanting to let her daughter outweigh her first wife, she quietly inquired about the amount of dowry that Mrs. Gui received when she married into the Gui family that day, and wanted to stir up trouble. It was just that the Xu family had been divided once, and now the family's wealth is not as good as it used to be. Mrs. Xu

He valued his son even more, and was unwilling to give his daughter the heirloom collection of books, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc., so he simply bought more silks, satins, damasks, and embroideries of various colors, and also bought some valuables that the family had obtained from Mrs. Xu in the past.

But impractical furnishings were added, such as coral bonsai and the like, which were both impractical and not something that the Xu family could use today. I originally planned to use them as gifts in the future, but now I will give them to my daughter.

However, the dowry list had to be sent to the Gui family in advance, and the Gui family sent it back the next day, requesting that the bride's dowry amount be kept within a certain amount, which was one level lower than the second wife Gui's.

The woman who conveyed the message was a bit harsh, almost saying that the Gui family was a well-known scholarly family and was not used to the style of the nouveau riche. The new daughter-in-law who came into the family would rather have more books, calligraphy and paintings in her dowry than use yellow and white things to show off.

.

The Xu family has also been scholarly for generations, and has always considered itself a famous family. It has been serving as an official in the capital longer than the Gui family. I didn't expect to be slapped in the face by the Gui family like this. Aunt Xu's face was so ashamed that Uncle Xu said

Why do you have to show off for such a thing when you have been complaining about her? Since Xu Xiu is going to marry as a stepmother, and she has this attitude from the beginning that she wants to outshine her first wife, isn't she afraid that her husband's family will misunderstand her?

Before giving birth to a son, Xu Xiu had to maintain a low-key, submissive and courteous attitude no matter what. After all, she got this marriage because she looked a bit like Grandma Gui. If she made Master Gui angry, even if

What's the use of comparing Grandma Gui to the dowry?!

The gain outweighs the loss, regardless of the severity! Uncle Xu unceremoniously scolded his wife bloody.

Grandma Xu depressingly changed the dowry list, deleting some valuable furnishings but not cutting out the clothing materials. She just added some books and antiques, which made her feel very sad. The things given to her daughter were different from those left to her son.

If the dowry is given out, it belongs to another family. Unless the daughter is childless for the rest of her life, she will never get it back to the Xu family. But how could Xu Xiu be childless for the rest of her life? All these things belong to her son Xu Zheng

property!

Grandma Xu sighed and carefully drafted her daughter's dowry list. She was afraid that she would give away something truly precious, but she was also afraid that the things would be so bad that her daughter would not be able to hold her head up in her husband's family. She was extremely entangled, left and right.

hesitate.

She thought to herself that if it weren't for the future of her husband and son, as well as the face of her daughter, she would never have swallowed her anger like this! But now that the matter has been done, she can only bite the bullet and persevere to the end. If she suffers a small loss, she will

It must be for the sake of getting greater rewards in the future! As long as Xu Zheng has a bright future in the future, what he lost will one day be able to get something better!

Grandma Xu thought this and finally felt better. She carefully re-wrote her daughter's dowry list. Xu Zheng's wife, Lu, who was standing by, polished the ink for her expressionlessly, with a trace of ridicule flashing in her eyes.
