After much thought, Niu couldn't help but go to Wu Shaoying again and asked him what he meant by this marriage to the Shen family? Why should he reject it? What's wrong with the Shen family?

Wu Shaoying hesitated for a long time, and then said to her with a wry smile: "Teacher's wife, I know that you are concerned about my life-long affairs, and you are worried that there is no one around me to take care of me, and I am still a bachelor at an old age. But... the Shen family is not at peace either. Shen

Although the eldest girl is a lady, there is a family behind her.

If I were an official in another place, after getting married, I would be far away from the Yue family, that would be fine. But I am in Jinling, so close to Songjiang, so I will inevitably be influenced by the Shen family. Master, I am really

I’m scared of being pushed through, and I don’t want to add a few more relatives and elders who will hold me back.”

Mr. Niu felt sad when he heard this, and remembered the hardships he had suffered in the Guan family. Although the Guan family had been kind to him in raising him, it was not easy for him during the years he lived in the Guan family. Now he has

Now that he has become successful, he has the ability to repay the kindness of the Guan family, but Mrs. Guan and Guan Yunniang want more than just the rewards he gave...

Niu thought of the second master of the Shen family, the second girl of the Shen family, and the latter's troubled aunt, and suddenly felt that the eldest daughter of the Shen family was not a perfect marriage partner. The girl was a good girl, and she had abilities and was able to pass the test.

He can manage the house, but he doesn’t have a good father. Who knows when he will become confused? Wu Shaoying’s family only has

He is alone and weak, so how can he be the opponent of the Shen family? There is no need for them to drag them down. If there is a real trouble, what Wu Shaoying can count on is Qin Bai, his mentor? But the Shen family is also the wife of the patriarch of the clan.

Qin Bai's natal family, when the time comes, he wants to support his students, but he also has to take into account the clan's face, so it's not good to be restrained.

Thinking of this, Mr. Niu also gave up the idea of ​​being a matchmaker, and just advised Wu Shaoying earnestly: "It's okay if the Shen family is not good, but you should also think about your life-long events. Now that your teacher and I are still in Jinling, can we still

Take care of you,

When we leave, you don't even have a serious person around you who knows what is good and what is good. Doesn't that make us worry? Don't use busy work as an excuse. If you are determined to marry, someone will arrange things for you. It's you.

It’s just that you don’t want to start a family!”

Wu Shaoying smiled coquettishly, lowered her head and said nothing, but did not say that she wanted to get married.

Mrs. Niu sighed again and again: "That's all, your teacher and I won't force you now, but you have to know it well. If it is left to your teacher and wife to decide what kind of girl you want to marry, we can still do it for you.

You can also choose a girl you like. But in the future, if any of your bosses likes you, he wants to marry your daughter or niece to you, or maybe

How can you refuse to be a matchmaker for you? It’s not up to you to decide what the girl’s temperament will be at that time! If your boss doesn’t agree to the marriage, your boss will be unhappy, and if he gives you small shoes, what will you do? Even if we are an old man in our family.

I can support you, but even if you are far away in the capital, the water far away cannot save the fire nearby. Unless you return to the capital to become an official, you must beware of this kind of thing."

Wu Shaoying frowned slightly when he heard this. He had really been negligent in this regard. He had never thought of it before. Now that his wife had reminded him, he really had to be more careful.

Niu added: "You think about it carefully. When will you figure it out? When will you write to me and your teacher? If there is a girl you like, just tell us and we will arrange the marriage for you. Just don't delay it too long.

, you are not young anymore, how long do you want to put it off? You should also think about your deceased parents, they have long been looking forward to you getting married and having children, and inheriting the family legacy!"

Wu Shaoying responded in a low voice.

Mrs. Niu got the letter from Wu Shaoying. Although she felt a little pity in her heart, she still decisively went to the clan patriarch's wife to tell her about the nephew of the Mao family. She went at the right time.

After the patriarch's wife inquired about Wu Shaoying's words, she felt that this marriage needed to be reconsidered. For the sake of her eldest niece's happiness, she had to first find out clearly about the relationship between Wu Shaoying and the aunt of the Guan family.

She first sent people to find Wu Shaoying's entourage and inquire about it. The entourage Wu Shaoying brought with him now was either the servant he took in during his study tour, or he brought him from his hometown. When he lived at Mizhiguan's house, there was a waiter beside him.

There was no one, so naturally no servant would stand on the side of the Guan family and speak for the Guan family. In addition, Wu Shaoying had already told the patriarch's wife to inquire, so those servants would naturally "tell the truth."

.

They didn't add any fuel to the fire. They just talked about Wu Shaoying's experience of living with her aunt after her parents died. When she was 17 or 18 years old and got the title of scholar, she left the Guan family to study elsewhere. She didn't return to the Guan family until she left the Imperial College.

.Wu Shaoying

When he left the Guan family, Guan Yunniang was just an eight-year-old girl. When he returned to the Guan family as a supervisor with the property he had taken back from the clan, the sixteen-year-old Guan Yunniang immediately fell in love with him. There were many others among them.

Inside information that is hard to tell, such as Guan Yun

The reason why my mother has not yet engaged when she is sixteen is because she has too high aspirations and wants to marry high, etc. Naturally, Old Mrs. Guan has always been optimistic about this marriage, but Wu Shaoying feels that she and her cousin are just brother and sister and cannot accept it.

marry the other person, and

The age difference between the two was too big, and they didn't match. Their ideas were too different, and they ended up having a fight. Wu Shaoying didn't want to make her aunt angry, and she didn't want to marry her cousin, but Mrs. Guan and her daughter never gave up.

He also mentioned that he would follow Ren Shang...

When the patriarch's wife heard these words, she knew that Wu Shaoying was not lying and that what Niu told the truth was true. The servants of the Wu family also mentioned some of the Guan family's partial daughters. Guan Yunniang came to the eldest sister's mother-in-law's house and ate and took them. It was very rude, and Guan Rongniang scolded her.

After a few words, the parents of the natal family blamed the eldest daughter for being mean and other gossip.

The eldest lady didn't take it to heart. She was not interested in the grievances within the Guan family. She just wanted to know whether Wu Shaoying could be ruthless enough to get rid of the influence of the Guan family? Otherwise, the old lady Guan would always talk about kindness and interfere.

When the nephew comes to his house, Miss Shen is already married and her life is not going well.

However, both the Wu family servants and the Qin family servants only said that the Guan family mother and daughter were not good, but no one said that Wu Shaoying was not grateful enough to the Guan family. Instead, they said that he treated the Guan family with the utmost kindness. For example, Wu Shaoying returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors.

When I went to the Guan family to visit relatives, I handed over my farm shop in my hometown to my cousin from the Guan family.

Instead of sending a few close servants to take charge, nor entrusting it to the clan members. What else is there to say? Wu Shaoying is obviously a grateful young man, and he will never have a dispute with the aunt who raised him.

.And the aunt is determined to marry her daughter to him. If an outsider gets involved, I'm afraid it will be a thankless task.

The patriarch's wife found her natal brothers and niece, told them the truth in detail, and apologized to them: "It was because I didn't think carefully and kept you here without asking about it clearly, which caused a delay." It's all my fault that my niece has worked hard for several months. Now that I think about it, this marriage may not be suitable, so it would be better to find another wife for my niece as soon as possible."

Miss Shen lowered her head and said nothing. She is a dignified and polite girl. When it comes to her marriage, she will only obey the arrangements of her elders and cannot say anything in front of them. Of course, she has any thoughts in private, that is Another story.

Mr. Shen Er was a little unhappy: "We have been waiting for so long, and suddenly we can't make it. It's unreasonable for my sister to say this, isn't it? At the beginning, you guaranteed it and said it was a good match, so we gave up. You have such a good marriage like the second young master of the house. Now you say that this marriage will not work out, what will our eldest sister do? Do you want her to go home without accomplishing anything? Wouldn’t that mean she would be laughed to death? Even for me, There’s no luster on your face!”

The patriarch’s wife had hosted her brothers to stay in Jiangning for so long. She didn’t expect to receive such complaints from her brothers, and she felt a little unhappy. However, she was in the wrong, so she had to hold back her anger: “Don’t worry, I will take care of it for you. If my eldest niece finds another good marriage, she will never be left without a job!"

Mr. Shen Er said: "In fact, Wu did not reject our eldest sister. She just said that the marriage was not done because she felt that he had shortcomings, right? In this case, we don't need to be too picky. This Wu No matter how many shortcomings there are in his experience, the fact that he is a student that Marquis Yongjia values ​​is more than anything else. Our eldest sister cannot win over the girls of the Feng family, and cannot be the young mistress of the Marquis of Marquis, at least. Do you want to be an official wife? When she gets married, her husband will be a disciple of Marquis Yongjia. The relationship between our Shen family and the Marquis may not be as close as your sister-in-law. With this relationship, our family will also There are many contacts with the Hou Mansion, and it will be easier for the eldest sister's brothers and sisters to talk about good marriages in the capital in the future. With such benefits, what does it mean for Wu to have an inconvenient aunt? Even a serious mother-in-law No, she’s still far away, so just tell the eldest sister to ignore her from now on.”

The patriarch's wife's eyes widened when she heard this. She also knew that it must be his concubine who said some unreasonable things in his ear. Judging from his tone, she wanted to use the eldest daughter's marriage as a bargaining chip to provide a stepping stone for the second daughter. Where is the stepping stone? This is something that a biological father can say? She was thinking about her niece's lifelong happiness, but she didn't expect that the biological father would be so cruel.

The patriarch's wife sneered and said: "Stop mentioning these shameless words. Wu Qingqing is grateful for his aunt's kindness, and you actually want to teach your daughter to be ungrateful after marrying her? If word gets out, no one will laugh at our Songjiang Shen family tutor! Don't listen That ignorant little woman instigated me and even forgot about etiquette and shame!"

She put on a straight face and pretended to be angry, but Mr. Shen did not dare to make a mistake and walked away angrily. Miss Shen took a step slowly and said goodbye to her aunt. She hesitated to say anything, but she still couldn't say anything. Without saying anything, he turned around and left.

The patriarch's wife looked at her frail figure, feeling even more pity in her heart, and secretly made up her mind to find a good family for this sensible niece.

At this time, Mrs. Niu came to her door and introduced her to the Mao family's nephew, which could be said to have solved her worries.

He was born in a prominent family in Huzhou, the only son, with a rich net worth, young and handsome, and had a reputation for talent since childhood. He became a scholar in his teens. If it weren't for his mother's illness, which prevented him from leaving home, he would have achieved something if he took the provincial examination. Mao

Although the nephew is not as good as Wu Shaoying, who is already a Jinshi and an official, he is younger and has a more prominent family background, so he is more suitable for Miss Shen.

Of course, the nephew of the Mao family had previously married his fiancée on the memorial tablet, but now it was obviously the first marriage, but it could only be regarded as a continuation of the marriage. The new daughter-in-law suffered some losses in terms of her reputation. But when Mr. Niu persuaded the wife of the patriarch, he had something to say.

: "It is easy to find priceless treasures, but it is rare to find a lover. This descendant of the Mao family is a good boy who values ​​affection and righteousness. If your eldest niece gets married, are you still afraid that he will treat her badly?"

Mrs. Niu also talked about many benefits of the Mao family's nephew, such as that the new daughter-in-law can take charge of the family as soon as she enters the house, and does not need to be restrained by her parents-in-law. The patriarch's wife was moved by what she said, and she quickly made a decision and agreed to help negotiate the deal.

I have something to do in the morning, so the second update will probably be a little later.
