Chapter 17 Discredit
The Guan family is dead, and the deceased is the most important. Regardless of whether she and Wu Shaoying were in love, it is already in the past, and it was eight years ago. Qin Hanzhen does not think that it is necessary to involve these past events again now.
A woman's reputation was important in ancient times. Guan's own fate was tragic enough, so why bother letting her live in peace after her death? Since Qin Hanzhen became her daughter, he naturally had the responsibility to safeguard her reputation.
Besides, the reason why Guan Yunniang is holding on to this matter is not because she can't marry Wu Shaoying? But with her temperament, unless it is a man who doesn't understand her, who is willing to marry her? It is true that Wu Shaoying has received the grace of the Guan family
, but now that he has fame and a future, he cannot marry an unreliable wife even if it is for his own future. If the Guan family is asking for a favor in return, maybe he will bite the bullet and accept it, but now it is obvious that the rest of the Guan family
He didn't take Guan Yunniang's side, so he certainly wouldn't send her to her door stupidly.
Qin Han really felt that at this time, in order to protect the reputation of the Guan family, it was harmless to slander Guan Yunniang a little.
The conversation between Niu and Aunt Hu is still going on, and Aunt Hu has already told her experience in the Guan family. Unlike Mr. Qin, who is kind and covers up for his in-laws, he didn't even mention Guan Yunniang's story at all.
What a shame, Grandma Hu would never lie in front of Mrs. Niu, not to mention that she herself didn’t like the girl Guan Er. Because of this girl Guan Er’s mischief, they and their group had to leave early and go home.
Even lunch was missed, and the two hosts, old and young, were starving. Sister Sang originally wanted to ask a doctor to see her symptoms of motion sickness, but she canceled it at the last minute, and suffered a lot on the way home. Aunt Tiger felt distressed after seeing it.
I was already angry.
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Niu was speechless: "Why didn't I find that the Guan family's little daughter was so willful before? Her own father was almost sick to death, why did she make trouble for no reason? And the Guan family's eldest uncle dumped her
When she slapped her, what were the unfinished words she said? Could it be that Uncle Guan also did something shameful?"
Aunt Hu didn't know this at all: "I didn't have time to ask, but I just looked at the expressions of my wife and my aunt, and they didn't seem to feel comfortable. It must not be a good thing."
Niu was still curious, but Qin Hanzhen saw that the opportunity was rare, so he interrupted: "I know, my aunt wanted to marry my cousin, but my cousin didn't agree, and my grandma and uncle didn't agree either, so I got angry."
Niu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that her granddaughter was not asleep, so she quickly asked: "How did you know?"
Qin Hanzhen got up: "Grandma and Aunt Hu went to another room to talk, and I was bored alone on the big kang. My aunt took my cousin to the back of the house to quarrel, and I heard it outside the window."
Mrs. Niu looked at Aunt Hu, who was also a little surprised: "Didn't I hear you? I..." She thought of what Old Mrs. Guan had mentioned to her at that time, maybe she was too shocked, and her attention was all there.
, she didn’t pay attention to other things at all. Even her cousin Wu Shaoying went into the North House to see Sister Sang, but she only found out about it later when she followed Mrs. Guan back to the North House.
Niu didn't know what she was thinking, so she didn't ask any questions. She just pulled her granddaughter and said, "What's going on? Your aunt wants to marry your cousin Wu? Then why doesn't your cousin Wu agree?"
Qin Hanzhen tilted his head: "I don't know. My cousin told my aunt at the time that her grandma and uncle had the final say in her marriage. Now is not the time to mention this, saying that girls shouldn't do this.
The sky is on your lips."
Mr. Niu nodded: "This is correct. This is what a serious scholar with good moral character and etiquette should say. Your cousin's character is reliable. He studied with your grandfather for two years at that time. My
At that time, I said, it's a pity that I didn't give birth to a daughter, otherwise I would have recruited him as my son-in-law."
Qin Hanzhen blinked and continued: "But my aunt was very angry after hearing this, saying that he disliked her if he didn't agree. She said that she was good-looking, literate, and outstanding in everything. Her cousin was raised by the Guan family, so with that
Why do you dislike her? My cousin said that he didn't dislike her, he just regarded her as his sister, and he couldn't marry his sister. The aunt was even more angry, saying that was just an excuse, and that her cousin's refusal to marry her must be because of an affair with someone else. Then
…”
She hesitated for a moment and looked at Mr. Niu: "Then my aunt took a guess at all the women my cousin knew. Regardless of whether they were married or not, or how old they were, as long as they had spoken to my cousin, they were all included.
Even the neighbor's aunt and sister-in-law were involved, and they kept asking who he was having an affair with, and in the end, even my mother didn't let him go."
Niu was immediately angry: "What?! That damn girl is shameless and rushes to seduce men, why should she drag my daughter-in-law into the water?!"
"Amitabha!" Even Aunt Hu couldn't help but recite the Buddha's name. "It's strange that my wife and auntie looked uncomfortable when they saw us. The girl at home is so ridiculous, who can feel at ease? My auntie saw my sister-in-law.
, I just wanted to drive her out of the house. It turned out that I was afraid that she would talk nonsense in front of us and lose the face of the Guan family. In my opinion, they didn't stop her enough. Such an unruly girl should have been locked up in the house long ago.
, you are not allowed to come out to meet people!"
After hearing this, Mr. Niu became even more angry: "I have said before that if their family spoils their little daughter like this, it will cause trouble sooner or later! Which girl is like the second girl of the Guan family, whose own father is dying of illness?
Now, she still only thinks about marrying a man. Which man can like her? A young man with the character of a descendant of the Wu family, or a young talent who won the imperial examination in his early twenties, wouldn't it be a waste to be matched with her?
?Fortunately, my in-laws were not confused and did not harm my nephew because of my daughter."
Aunt Hu said: "The second girl of the Guan family is sixteen this year. Logically speaking, she should be of age to get married. But in the past few years, I have only heard that she wants to get married, but I haven't seen her decide on a house. There has been a marriage in the county for a long time.
They discussed it and said that the second girl from the Guan family was too high-spirited and very picky. If she was told that the family was rich, she would think that they had no fame and honor, and she was not decent enough; if she was told that the family was with fame, she would think that the family was too poor and afraid of hardship;
She said that from a famous and wealthy family, logically everything would go well, right? She also thought she was not talking about her original wife; finally someone found her a perfect match, a young master from a family who had been studying since he was a child.
, had a family business, was still the first to marry, and she felt that the family was not good-looking. So she delayed it for several years, and has not accepted anyone yet. Perhaps she saw that Uncle Wu was young and handsome, had a bright future, and had a good temper, so Miss Guan Er
Are you unwilling to let go? It’s just that she’s too strong-willed, and even her own family doesn’t agree with her, so what’s the point of her acting up like this?”
Niu sneered: "She is relying on her family to pamper her! Thinking that if she makes a fuss, maybe her parents and brothers will agree to help her? What a shameless person! She has the nerve to find fault with this and dislike that. She
She is just the daughter of a scholar, her family fortune is only mediocre, she can read a few hundred words, and she dares to claim that she is both talented and beautiful without being blind. How could she have such a big face if she is not relying on the promotion of our Qin family?
!”
Mr. Niu knew the details of the Guan family very well. In his early years, Mr. Guan was born into a farming family, and his family had dozens of acres of land, so he had no worries about food and clothing. When he was young, he was selected as a scholar and felt that his career was promising, so he went to court.
**** studied to prepare for the exam and didn’t care about anything else. Who would have thought that after decades of taking the exam, he would always fail the exam, and his family fortune would almost be ruined. Although they would not go hungry, the family would not have any spare money.
Come.
At this time, he heard that Mr. Qin’s private school taught several scholars and scholars, and others praised him as a famous teacher. Although Mr. Qin was younger than him, he shamelessly went to make friends with him. After talking with Mr. Qin,
He found that his knowledge and conversation were far inferior to his opponent, and even inferior to the children he taught. He felt that he had been a frog in the well, so he gave up the intention of taking the imperial examination and became a teacher instead.
At first, he only taught some young children. Later, when he found some good talents, he recommended them to Mr. Qin, and also brought out several scholars. Because of this, more and more students came to learn from him, and he
His family situation gradually improved. Later, he became an in-law with Mr. Qin, which made it easier to recommend students. He often obtained books and articles from Mr. Qin to benefit his own students, and more people came to the affiliated library.
Now, it is no longer limited to Mengtong.
This is how the Guan family's business started. It can be said that without the help of the Qin family, Mr. Guan would be just an ordinary teacher. His daughter is naturally just the daughter of a scholar and has nothing to boast about. But because of the Guan family
He is an in-law of the Qin family, and he is highly valued by the Qin family, so others also respect Mr. Guan.
Mrs. Niu asked herself that she didn't dare to be picky when marrying a wife for her son. The Guan family's youngest daughter was just an in-law of the Qin family, but she was raised like this. If outsiders misunderstood that it was the Qin family that allowed her to be so arrogant, talking about it
Isn't it unfair for the Qin family to gossip? That's why I was particularly angry.
Aunt Hu sighed: "Uncle Wu has received the kindness of the Guan family. If his aunt wants him to repay her, he will not be able to refuse. It must be because of this that Miss Guan dares to speak."
Niu sneered and said: "She is not afraid of being too ambitious and making a fool of herself in the future! When the descendant of the Wu family came back from this trip, he heard that Suide Zhizhou wanted to replace him with an official position, not as a county magistrate, but also as a bookkeeper. His daughter-in-law is an official.
Madam, I want to help with the official entertainment. With the temper of the second girl of the Guan family, what kind of official wife can she be? Not to mention socializing, as long as she doesn’t offend others. The Guan family just loves her, so they refuse to agree to the marriage.
Otherwise, just let her do whatever she wants. She has a son-in-law who is an official. No one in Mizhi County will know how embarrassing he is. Their Guan family is just as good!"
Mrs. Niu lost her temper, and her disgust for Guan Yunniang reached its highest point. She specifically told Aunt Hu: "Don't go to Guan's house if you have nothing to do in the future, especially don't take Sister Sang with you. Otherwise, you will have to worry about going to his house and having to go to his house."
Look at his girl's mischief! If the in-laws can't restrain this girl, we won't dare to associate with his family. Look at the nonsense she's talking about, it won't offend anyone's ears!"
Aunt Hu actually wanted to say that if Mr. Guan died and the Guan family had to observe filial piety, the two families would have less contact, but when she thought of what Mrs. Guan mentioned to her, she shut up again.
While they were talking, Zhang Ma heard that her master had come back early and hurried back to the upper courtyard to see her. Mrs. Niu said to her: "Take my sister back to the house to rest. I'm sorry, I've been tossing a lot these past half days, and my sister has suffered a lot."
What a big sin! You don’t have to bring her over at night and let her eat in her own room. Just tell the kitchen what she wants to eat."
Zhang Ma smiled and agreed, then picked up Qin Hanzhen to leave. Qin Hanzhen saw that his words had successfully made Niu family distrustful of Guan Yunniang, and she was satisfied, so she said goodbye to her grandmother and went back to her room to take a nap.
.
As soon as she left, Aunt Hu sat back on the kang and lowered her voice and said to Mrs. Niu: "Madam, I am at Guan's house today. My wife asked me to send you a message, saying... Grandma is gone, only the remaining
Sister Sang is of the same flesh and blood, and the Qin family now has only one son, Brother Zi, born to the second mistress. She is really worried, fearing that Sister Sang will suffer in the future. Therefore, she wants to give Sister Sang and her
Brother Sunzixiu has arranged a marriage for Sister Sang to marry back to the Guan family in the future. With her own grandma and uncle protecting her, she will not be wronged. What do you and the master think?"
