The wife of the patriarch of the clan first sent a confidant to Huzhou to inquire about the Mao family's nephew, and heard back within a few days. Everything Niu said was true, without adding any fuel or jealousy. Moreover, the confidant found a

By chance, I took a look at the nephew of the Mao family from a distance, and reported that he was a handsome young man. I asked about his reputation in Huzhou City, and no one could say anything bad about it. If it weren't for his mother's high vision, she was eager to marry her son.

He has a wife, but he can't bear to ask his son to marry a girl with inferior family background, appearance, and character. He won't delay it until he is still a bachelor.

If such a good partner doesn't hurry up, God knows if he can find a better one? Although the other party's fame is not as good as Wu Shaoying's, he is much younger and comes from a wealthy family. Compared with Wu Shaoying's background as an orphan from a poor family, he is also

It's much better. It's true that they are marrying to fill a house in name, but in fact they are the first match. Miss Shen herself missed the flowering period because of her filial piety. When others come to marry her, they usually mean to fill a house and continue the relationship, and

Perhaps the family's talent is relatively inferior, and there is no comparison with the Mao family's nephew. If it weren't for the previous mention of Qin An, which raised the standard, the Shen family's expectations for Miss Shen's marriage would probably be no more than this. The Shen family's expectations

Most of the daughters in the family may not be able to marry so well.

The patriarch's wife felt that Mao Xiucai had not insulted his eldest niece, so she went to tell Mr. Shen Er.

Who knows that Mr. Shen Er is still a little disgusted: "No matter how good he is, he can't compare with the Hou Mansion. This Mao family is just the nephew of an old friend of Yongjia Marquis. If the eldest sister is really married to him, how can we argue with the Hou Mansion?

We have a good relationship? Without this level of friendship, it will be inconvenient for us to talk in the future. Please ask Mrs. Hou to help our second sister arrange a good marriage."

The patriarch's wife was so angry that her face turned black, and she said coldly: "Where in the world is there any reason to treat a legitimate daughter as a stepping stone to a concubine's marriage?! It's okay for you to be partial at home. Don't embarrass our Shen family in front of outsiders.

Your face! Since you have no idea about eldest sister's marriage, I will discuss it with the clan and ask your sons.

The concubine and the concubine live together, and if you want to ask us to help your precious second sister in the future, forget it!"

Mr. Shen Er said somewhat sarcastically: "Why should sister be angry? I feel sorry for the child too. If we can get closer to the Hou family, not only will the second sister's marriage be settled, but even their brothers will be able to get some light, right?"

"

The patriarch's wife sneered and ignored him. She wrote directly to the Shen clan in Songjiang for discussion, and asked Miss Shen and her brothers what they wanted. This matter must be done quickly. The news from Huzhou made it clear that Mao

The nephew is very popular. If his mother really can't hold on anymore, in order to let her son get married quickly, she will lower the requirements for her daughter-in-law by one or two points. There are many good girls in Huzhou alone who are willing to marry her. Don't mention anything else.

, Mrs. Niu once said casually that she originally wanted to give this Mao family nephew to a girl from the Qin family, but she couldn't find a good candidate for a while.

Niu said this just to urge the patriarch's wife. But the patriarch's wife knows better than she does what good girls of the right age there are in the Qin clan. For example, Sister Shu from the fifth room will be born next spring and she is a scholar.

The daughter of Miss Shen, her elder brother is a Tongsheng, and she is also one of the children of the Qin family who is talented in scientific examinations. Compared with Miss Shen's father and brother who have no great achievements, Sister Shu seems to be more compatible with the nephew of the Mao family.

Moreover, she is the eldest daughter in the family. She has also studied middle school for several years. She is gentle and sensible, and has a delicate appearance. Although in terms of family background, the Qin family is not as prominent as the Shen family, but with the blessing of the niece of Yongjia Hou, once Qin Bai opens his mouth,

The Mao family will not refuse. The patriarch’s wife must push her eldest niece out before Qin Bai and Niu think of Sister Shu. Otherwise, once the daughter of the Qin family is involved, she, as the Qin family, will

As a clan wife, you can no longer favor your natal family, otherwise you will not be able to explain to your clan members.

Replies from the Shen family came very quickly. From the patriarch to Miss Shen's brothers, everyone had no objections and left it to his aunt to make the decision. Miss Shen's eldest brother even came over from Songjiang to see his sister and asked her if she would like to

.

Miss Shen kept her head down and said nothing, neither willing nor unwilling. Her brother was anxious: "What do you mean, sister? If you don't want to marry to Huzhou, just explain it quickly so that I can ask for it."

Aunt. Otherwise, once my aunt sends a matchmaker, it will be too late for the eldest sister to regret it!"

It took a while for Miss Shen to whisper: "Why is it my turn to intervene in this kind of thing? Isn't it up to my father and aunt? What else can I say besides obeying the arrangements of my elders?"

Her brother was puzzled: "Eldest sister seems to have resentment in her words? If you think the Mao family is not good, just tell me. If you are embarrassed to say it, how about I say it for my sister?"

Miss Shen pursed her lips, lowered her head again and said nothing, her eyes red in silence.

Her brother was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "The eldest sister refuses to speak, but how can I help you?! Can you please say something too?!" He then asked the girls next to her sister. Unfortunately, Miss Shen has always been in charge of the girls.

If it's stricter, the girls won't dare to say anything.

Her brother had no choice but to say: "Since my sister refuses to tell the truth, I will just treat her as a willing sister. I will go back to my aunt early tomorrow morning and ask her to make the decision on your marriage. If my sister has anything to say,

Yes, just come and find me tonight."

He turned around and left, just waiting for his sister to tell him what was in his heart. Little did he know that as soon as he left, Miss Shen fell down at the desk and began to cry.

The girl who was close to her persuaded her: "Why doesn't the girl want to tell the truth to the uncle? My aunt asked the girl to stay for a short time earlier because she wanted to give it to the second young master of the Hou family. Later, she felt that the second young master of the Hou family was not good and was not as good as Wu Jinshi.

The girl then gave the girl from the Feng family the first step and asked her to get a good marriage. Now that the aunt felt that Wu Jinshi was not good, she changed her mind to a Mao scholar and decided to fill a house. The girl told her that he was not as good as

How could the girl not feel aggrieved when an aunt behaves like this?" She has changed families three times in the past few months, and they girls have always been shameless, so they feel very ashamed.

Miss Shen choked with tears and said: "Needless to say, my aunt always does it for my own good. If I didn't have my aunt to make the decision and act according to my father's wishes, I would only be able to marry my second sister, and I'm afraid the marriage would be even worse.

Okay. Since my aunt nodded, I just obeyed the order and acted. Why bother talking? There is no need for others to say that I am not dignified." As she said this, another burst of sadness came from her.

She is not an idiot, how could she not see it? Before Wu Shaoying came to Jinling, neither her aunt nor Mrs. Niu, the Marquis of Yongjia, thought there was anything wrong with this marriage. As soon as Wu Shaoying came, the marriage partner changed. Regardless of Wu Shaoying

What reason was used? It was because she disliked her. In the past few months, she had only thought that she would definitely marry into the Wu family. She also secretly inquired about his behavior and had already thought about what she would do in the future.

Getting along with each other, but now it has ended up like this. I don't know what I did wrong, and I am disgusted by others. But since they have already shown their unwillingness to get married, what is the use of her pestering her anymore? It will only make people look down on her.

.As for Mao Xiucai, although he is not bad, it is a pity that he is thinking about his deceased fiancée. Even if he is a lover, he is not in love with her.

No matter how old she is, there is no room for pickiness. If there is a good marriage, she will give it to the second sister first. This marriage in the Mao family is just right, and the second sister must not like it. If she gets married as soon as possible, she will also give it to the second sister.

She could get rid of the quagmire at home as soon as possible and live a quiet life. No matter what Mao Xiucai felt, if they really became husband and wife, she would just do her duty and respect each other as guests.

Miss Shen is a follow-your-own character. No matter whether she feels aggrieved or not, she never says "no" to her elders' marriage arrangements. Her brother waited all night, but did not wait for his sister to say what was on his mind.

She sighed helplessly and had to ask her aunt again and again. She found out that the nephew of the Mao family was indeed a good match. She also planned to go to Huzhou in person after the year to meet the candidate for her future sister-in-law, so that she could trust her with her sister.

The Shen family had made up their minds, and Niu quickly notified Qin Bai, who then wrote to Master Mao and acted as a matchmaker. The Mao family soon heard a response, and the reputation of the Songjiang Shen family

They had long heard that it would be a blessing for his nephew to marry the daughter of such a wealthy family. They were very grateful to Qin Bai for being the matchmaker.

Mao Xiucai's mother was also overjoyed, and despite her illness, she solemnly entrusted Mr. Mao and his wife to arrange the marriage for their son. Mr. Mao then wrote back to Qin Bai, saying that he would come to visit in the first month of the year.

He will discuss it carefully with the Shen family when the time comes. If everything goes well, the decision can be made in the first month, and the betrothal gift can be celebrated after the spring. There will be a happy event at the turn of spring and summer, and both families will be happy.

The small turmoil caused by Wu Shaoying's refusal to marry has finally subsided, and the wedding can be held directly after Mao and Chen's family have agreed on a marriage agreement. After all, Mao Xiucai's mother doesn't know how long she can last, and she has to hurry up.

She closed her eyes and let Miss Shen in.

Miss Shen calmly accepted her future. Miss Shen, on the other hand, joked privately: "I still thought she could marry into a good family. She was so picky at first. No matter how many good marriages my aunt said in front of her father, she was not happy. , isn’t it still necessary to fill in a house now? Except that the brother-in-law is younger and not as good as others. If I had known this, I might as well have agreed to marry an old man to fill in a house. After all, he is also an official, and he is worse than a scholar. ."

Miss Shen silently listened to her younger sister's sarcasm and pretended not to hear it. Anyway, since her younger sister didn't like this marriage, she would never rob her again. She could spend the last few months at home quietly before going to

Once she gets married, her sister's future has nothing to do with her anymore.

Naturally, Qin Hanzhen knew nothing about these minor conflicts between the Shen sisters. She only heard that Miss Shen and the nephew of the Mao family had tentatively agreed on their marriage, and the details would have to wait until Mr. Mao came to Jiangning in the first month.

An agreement could only be reached at that time. Wu Shaoying rejected the Shen family's marriage proposal, and the remaining issues were resolved peacefully. She breathed a sigh of relief for Wu Shaoying.

Soon, Qin Hanzhen no longer had time to pay attention to other people's affairs. The day for Guan Rongniang's burial came, and she had to personally pay filial piety and send her biological mother to her grave.

On this day, Wu Shaoying also took leave from the government office and came to Qinzhuang early to see her cousin off in person.

If you go out on a day like this, you'll end up in a hot mess... When will weather like this end~~~
