Mrs. Xu was really speechless this time. The third bedroom of the Qin family had already seen it, so what was the use of making excuses? She thought about how she had just revealed the rift between Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu's sister-in-law.

, there is no need to hide it anymore.

It turns out that Mr. Xu's guilt towards his younger sister was the cause of this matter. Because Xu had always had a knot in her mind about the easy marriage back then, but now that she has seen with her own eyes the love between Qin Bai and Niu, she feels that

She is also a person with many children and grandchildren, what else can she think? Even if she once had such a small thought, it would have disappeared without a trace in Qin Bai's cold courtesy? She just felt sorry

Because Qin Bai had not kept his promise back then, and because he wanted to marry into the Qin family, Qin Song became selfish and drove his younger brother out of the house. This led to the death of Queen Qin out of regret, and Qin Bai traveled to the northwest for thirty years.

She and the Xu family once owed Qin Bai, and there was really no way to repay them.

Mrs. Xu revealed her depression to her elder brother Mr. Xu, and Mr. Xu came up with an idea. Since the marriage contract between his sister and Qin Bai went wrong, it has not been consummated to this day, and his sister's daughter has not been able to successfully marry back to the Xu family.

, then let the third generation of the Qin family and the Xu family pick up the broken marriage, and the two families can continue to be friends of Qin and Jin? Master Xu proposed to the Xu family to marry Qin Bai for his eldest grandson Xu Zheng

His granddaughter Qin Hanzhen. If this can be done, it will make up for the regret that Xu and Qin Bai failed to fulfill their engagement.

Mrs. Xu once hesitated because Xu Zheng was much older than Qin Hanzhen and the two were not compatible. Moreover, she didn't know whether Qin Bai would agree. She really had no shame in saying this.

Mr. Xu took over the matter and said that he would come to propose marriage when Qin Hanzhen was older. As for Xu Zheng being older, there was no problem. The grandson could concentrate on studying and prepare for the imperial examination, so there was no need to marry and have children.

Such mundane things distracted his mind. Besides, since the Xu family wanted to marry the granddaughter of the Qin family, they had to show sincerity in order to impress Qin Bai. Although Xu Rong, the second wife, was older than Qin Hanzhen.

A better match, but Xu Rong is far less outstanding than Xu Zheng, and may not be able to catch Qin Bai's eyes. And judging from Qin Han's status as the granddaughter of Yongjia Hou, Xu Rong's father's official position is also a bit low, and he cannot reach higher.

No matter which way you look at it, Xu Zheng has more weight.

Mr. Xu persuaded the Xu family, but it would take a lot of hard work to make the marriage happen. The first obstacle they encountered was Mrs. Xu, who loved Xu Zheng the most. She had already set her sights on her grandson.

There are no girls from the Qin family among the ladies in the family. If she hadn't thought about her grandson's young age and was not in a hurry to get engaged for the time being, she would have already settled on her favorite lady. Now Mengyi told her that she wanted to marry her.

The girl who assigned Xu Zheng to the third room of the Qin family came back from the northwest countryside. Even if Qin Han was really the granddaughter of Marquis Yongjia, she would never agree! Besides, Mrs. Xu and her sister-in-law had already had a bad relationship.

Naturally, she was not happy about this marriage. Even if Mr. Xu used his power as the head of the family to force his wife to nod in the end, Mrs. Xu would not be happy anymore. Saying a few random words in front of others would be enough to anger her.

The third wife of the Qin family made this marriage completely impossible.

Mr. Xu thought of a way. Since his old wife loves his grandson the most, as long as his grandson Xu Zheng takes the initiative to ask her to marry Qin Hanzhen, his old wife will nod in the end, no matter how unhappy she is.

In order for Xu Zheng to take the initiative to say this, he had to be willing first, so Mr. Xu discussed with the Xu family and found an excuse for Xu Zheng to go to the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion to meet Qin Hanzhen.

He felt that Qin Hanzhen was handsome and quiet, so he should be the type that his grandnephew Xu Zheng would like, so he should be quite sure about this marriage.

This was the reason why four brothers and sisters from the Xu family came to the house on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. Mrs. Xu suddenly sent someone to pick up the four children in the afternoon. It was also because the news was leaked and she was angry, so she did not save any face for her sister-in-law.

When Mrs. Xu said this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. They both came from a scholarly family, but sometimes she really couldn't understand her elder sister-in-law's thoughts. Even if the elder brother-in-law was a little biased towards the aunt, he didn't

You have treated your elder sister-in-law and her children badly, right? Why does she want to hold back the marriage with the Qin family every time? If she is not willing to let her children discuss marriage with the Qin family, she can call her second wife

She was lucky, but she was only happy to mess up the matter and make it embarrassing among her relatives.

Why bother? In the final analysis, the Xu family is what it is today, thanks to the Qin family! Thanks to the Qin family, and to my aunt Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu has never suffered in her husband's family. She is not grateful.

Forget it, why do you want to look down on others?

Mrs. Niu didn't bother to pay attention to what Mrs. Xu was thinking. There was only one thing she couldn't understand: "Since it is the Xu family who wants to marry my granddaughter, why did my eldest sister-in-law give orders to have my granddaughter taken care of by Brother Zheng?"

Dress up the way you like? Is this because I’m afraid that brother Zheng doesn’t like my granddaughter and won’t go to his grandmother to talk to her? This is too disrespectful! Since you want to marry, you have to act like you’re asking for help. Why?

Instead, he asked my granddaughter to please him? I really don’t know what to say!”

Mrs. Xu Er smiled apologetically and said: "Although I don't know what is going on, I can guarantee that with the temperament of our aunt and wife, she will never do such a thing. Even if Brother Zheng is willing, he can get it

His grandmother relented, and he had to ask Yongjiahou and his elder sister to nod, and the third girl and her father to nod, before the marriage could be settled. How could he have the qualifications to win over Qiao? He also had to ask other girls to please him? Not like that

Such a big face! This matter must have been done by the people below. They were thinking about my aunt's concerns, so they secretly did some tricks. Thinking that if the third girl got the favor of Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng would take the initiative to run to his grandmother.

If you open your mouth, my aunt will not have to make such a fuss, and her thoughts will be settled. In the final analysis, it is just the people below who are being ridiculous. I will tell our aunt later that no matter who came up with the idea, they will be tied up and let me

That’s my sister’s punishment.”

Mrs. Niu somewhat believed this, and curled her lips and said, "Even if the girls take matters into their own hands, it's still the sister-in-law's fault for lax control. I've heard that the girls in front of her are very powerful. On weekdays,

She is very capable of causing trouble, and now I have seen it. I don’t need to tie anyone up to punish her, as long as my sister-in-law is more strict in the future and doesn’t let her girl cause trouble to our third room again. "

Mrs. Xu Er smiled dryly and agreed.

The doubts in Niu's mind were solved, and she felt much more relaxed. She was a little curious: "Brother Zheng saw our sister Sang that day. What did he say when he came back? In the past few months, I have been busy taking care of my grandson.

I didn’t even care about anything else.”

Mrs. Xu was a little hesitant: "This..."

Seeing this, Mr. Niu's face darkened: "What? Does he still dislike our three girls?!"

"How could it be?" Madam Xu Er said hurriedly, "How could Brother Zheng dislike the third girl if she is so lovable? He had already told his grandmother that the temperament and appearance of the three girls were very to his liking.

Begging his grandmother to nod

His grandmother thought that the age difference between the two children was too big, and she was afraid that Brother Zheng would be wronged in the future, so she refused to let go. Because she asked Sister Xiu and Sister Lan, she learned that the third girl was less educated and could only recognize a few children.

Words, more and more unwilling to agree

Brother Zheng said, the third girl is still young now. It doesn’t matter if she knew a few words in the past. She just needs to read more in the future. The most important thing is that the two of them have compatible temperaments. Therefore, our elder said, let him read more

arrive

Come here and get along with the third girl more. If the temperament is really suitable, then Brother Zheng and his grandmother will no longer be able to violate the grandson's wishes. Now the three grandsons are competing in the ring, and they can't decide for a while.

."

In fact, there is one thing that Mrs. Xu dare not say, that is, Mrs. Xu dislikes Qin Hanzhen, not only because she heard that she has little education and poor writing, but also because she is the eldest daughter of a widowed mother and was raised by her grandmother.

Her grandmother was a vulgar village girl. Mrs. Xu believed that Qin Hanzhen, who was raised by the Niu family, was not worthy of being the eldest grandson of the Xu family, a scholarly family. But if this was the case, how could Mrs. Xu dare to say it?

If you show any interest, Mr. Niu will fall out.

Niu, however, looked puzzled: "What does this mean? When did our sister Sang learn to recognize less words? She has been studying with our master since she was a child. She is very familiar with "Three", "Hundred" and "Thousand", and "Thousand"

She has also read "The Analects of Confucius", and recently the master has begun to give her a rough lecture on "The Analects of Confucius". She is here in the house, with

The sisters went to school together and learned music, chess, calligraphy, and painting from Mr. Zeng, and their homework was always good. The second and fourth girls were similar in age to her, and they had studied longer than her, and they were often not as good as her. Mr. Zeng praised her.

Several times. Why does your girl stop studying so much when it comes to your mouth?"

Mrs. Xu was also a little confused: "This... Sister Xiu and Sister Lan can't lie about such a thing, not to mention Brother Zheng also heard it at the time. The third girl said it herself, saying that she only knew a few things.

A word..."

Mr. Niu smiled, waved his hand and said: "The child is just humble and polite. How can such an old child show off to the world about how talented he is after only a few years of schooling? Such things as talent and names are for outsiders.

The praise is not something you show off. Just like our master, when he was young, he also had the reputation of being a talented man. Could it be that he named it himself? Such polite words should be commonly used in your family. Why?

Do you really believe it?"

Mrs. Xu Er felt her face was burning, and even her smile was a bit forced.

Niu suddenly stopped laughing again and said with a straight face: "That's all, this matter is just a farce anyway. My sister-in-law is quite infatuated, but it's a pity that our master can't accept it. My sister will follow Brother Zheng when she goes back.

Tell him not to waste his efforts. It doesn’t matter how many years our sister Sang has been studying, whether her homework is good or bad.

, he is not a match for our sister Sang, and there is no reason to force the marriage. He has some free time, so he should study hard, and in the future he will also get a meritorious service, and imitate his father and ancestors who worked as officials and butlers. Things like a future,

In the end, the right way is to earn it on your own. What will it look like if you always think of relying on nepotism?"

She smiled and patted the back of Mrs. Xu Er's hand: "Good sister, your parents-in-law are used to such crooked ways and always think of relying on in-laws. Unlike your second-in-law, who has a good mind and is what a scholarly family should have.

rule!"

Mrs. Xu Er didn't care about her blushing, and said to Mr. Niu hurriedly: "Good sister, don't make Brother Zheng angry because of my sister-in-law's lies. Brother Zheng is indeed a good boy. Even though he is older, he is still a good boy."

I will not humiliate your granddaughter."

Niu smiled and waved her hand: "It's true that Brother Zheng is a good boy, but the master and I love our granddaughter. Sister Sang's marriage must be safe. Now our family is quite respectable in the capital. I think

It is not difficult to find a good family for Sister Sang. I am afraid that in the future our family will not be as good as it is now, and the in-laws will change their minds and make some tricks to break off the engagement. Wouldn’t it harm the child? So, Sister Sang’s

We will have to wait and see for a few years before we can make up our mind about the marriage."

Mrs. Xu Er couldn't even laugh this time.

Bad habits must be changed...
