Chapter 843 Testing

Qin Bai and Zhao Mo went to the study room. Qin Hanzhen accompanied his grandmother Niu Shi to tease Qin Jian. In fact, they didn't joke for long. They joked for a while and then turned to chatting about family matters. However, Qin Jian's marriage was still the main topic. After all,

He is also old. Not only has he not yet been engaged, but he has not even made a specific intention. Naturally, his mother-in-laws will inevitably be concerned about him.

While talking, Qin Youzhen came over.

She just came here to say hello to Mr. Niu and chat with her. She had some free time these days and had nowhere to go. It was enough to go to Mrs. Xu's place in the morning and evening to relax in the morning and dusk. Mrs. Yao had become more and more weird in recent days, and she was too lazy to do so.

However, Min was cold-tempered and couldn't talk to her, so she would come to Xifu from time to time to chat with Niu, the third aunt, and pass the time.

When she entered the door and saw the bustle in the house, Qin Jian was also there, so she smiled and asked, "What do you mean, you are so happy?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and asked her to sit down, and asked someone to serve tea. He then replied: "I was just making a joke about my cousin." Niu gave the answer directly: "We were talking about Brother Jian's marriage, you see.

He's so thin-skinned that he's even blushing!" He laughed out loud as he spoke.

Qin Jian blushed and protested weakly: "Third uncle and grandma know how to laugh at me." Looking at Qin Hanzhen, "Even my third sister makes fun of me!"

Qin Hanzhen blinked at him: "Forgive me, you are treated like this everywhere you go now. A young talent of the right age, with such appearance, such family background, and such outstanding talent, what wife and grandmother have seen it?

, don’t want to be a matchmaker for you? At least we didn’t set a red line for you, right? Otherwise you would be even more unable to sit still.”

Qin Jian was extremely helpless, but it was better to be teased by his own relatives than in front of outsiders. As Qin Hanzhen said, his third uncle and grandmother would never tell him which girl was suitable, and he could have opinions and ideas.

He said it without hesitation. He rolled his eyes at his third cousin and moved the melon seed plate in front of his eldest aunt Qin Youzhen for her convenience. He picked a few melon seeds and ate them silently.

Got up.

Qin Youzhen's thoughts were a little complicated. She silently glanced at her attentive and considerate nephew, sighed inwardly, smiled, and talked to Niu: "Brother Jian's character is rare in the capital. It's rare.

With his family background, being so filial and courteous, well-educated, and handsome, I really don’t know which family’s daughter he will take advantage of. No wonder his mother-in-law and his second brother and sister are worried about his marriage.

Are you spoiled for choice?"

Qin Jian protested feebly: "Aunt, why are you joking about your nephew too?"

Qin Youzhen covered her mouth and said with a smile: "How can I? I'm just telling the truth. When did I make fun of you?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we are all telling the truth, the truth!"

Qin Jian sighed, resigned to his fate and closed his eyes. He stood up and said, "I'll go to the study and have a look. I don't know what the third uncle and Guang Lu are doing." Unable to hold on, he ran away.

Qin Hanzhen saw him running away in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I'm really embarrassed that I scared away my cousin. I'll ask someone to bring some refreshments to the study, and then send a plate of melon seeds to my cousin."

Please don't hold grudges against my sister." Jin Chan took the opportunity to escape from his shell and went to the study to see Zhao Mo.

Well, there is also my grandfather.

Mr. Niu said repeatedly: "Today there is fresh lily and white fungus soup. Ask someone to send them a bowl. It has been dry these days and it is easy to get angry. Let them moisten their throats too."

Qin Hanzhen responded and left. Niu turned around and said to Qin Youzhen with a smile: "You should also eat a bowl. It is the most nourishing thing to eat in this weather. Your mother-in-law, brothers and sisters also often eat bird's nests now. I said

Bird's nest is so expensive, so why eat it every day? Lily and white fungus are also very good, and they are cheap and affordable."

Qin Youzhen is now used to her third aunt Niu's somewhat petty style in the circle of royal relatives, but she doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. The Lu family is not a wealthy family either. She has been working abroad with her husband for more than ten years.

Naturally, it is impossible to still be as well-fed and well-dressed as when I was a rich lady in the Chengen Marquis Mansion in Beijing. In some cases, lily and white fungus are already considered luxury goods.

Qin Youzhen had something on her mind now, because Niu was usually carefree and unguarded towards her family. After eating lily and white fungus, she took Niu to talk about a topic she cared about: "I just heard my aunt talk about Brother Jian's marriage.

, although I have never heard anything accurate in Dongfu, but doesn’t it mean that...my uncle intends to marry Sister Xiu from the Xu family to be her eldest grandson’s wife?”

Niu said: "Of course the elder sister-in-law wants to, but except for the elder sister-in-law herself, who in this family is happy? It's just the other people in the Xu family, just the old woman in his eldest room, what kind of attitude is that? It's so disgusting!

Personal! What kind of great and famous family does she think her family is? She depends on our Qin family to survive, but she has the nerve to despise our children. Brother Jian loves Jinhua girl so much, that old woman looks down on Jinhua so much

Girl, Brother Jian will not marry her granddaughter!"

Mr. Niu complained to Mrs. Xu for a while, and then said: "If you don't mention the old woman, Sister Xiu of the Xu family is not bad, but she is not very good. If they really get married, Brother Jian will be a little aggrieved.

Yes. You just said that if Brother Jian comes from a family like this, he is handsome, talented, and has good character. If we cannot find him a perfect wife, we elders will feel aggrieved, right?"

Qin Youzhen felt a chill in her heart when she heard this. Leaving aside Mrs. Xu, although Xu Xiu's conditions are not the best, regardless of her father's official position, her family background and her grandfather's official position, she doesn't seem to be any worse than Lu Yueniang.

.Xu Xiu is also the grand-niece of the Xu family. If this relationship is not enough to support her becoming the grand-daughter-in-law of Qin's parents, then how can her own daughter Lu Yueniang be raised in front of the mother-in-law of the eldest room because of her affection as the concubine of her second wife?

Can you get into the eyes of Xu and Yao? I was really too naive before.

Qin Youzhen took a deep breath and continued to test with a smile: "It is human nature for me to want to get closer to you. Sister Xiu of the Xu family is not the best, but she is better than knowing the basics. She has been with Jian since she was a child.

Brothers who grew up together are better than someone hired from outside. They have been friends for many years and are easier to get along with. If Mrs. Xu hadn't been confused, this marriage would have been a good one. In fact, if the Wang family hadn't failed

, there is no suitable girl in the Yao family, Sister Xiu'er is a good candidate."

Niu said: "Brother Jian's mother has had the idea of ​​​​marrying the Wang family before, but instead of marrying his daughter as a wife because she doesn't match the age, she wants to marry the Jinhua girl, or use the Wang family to marry her.

If you look for one of the prominent in-laws in their family, there is no need to mention it now. Several sisters of the Yao family are also well-born. Now they are of the right age, but their family background is a little weaker. Brother Jian, his mother, Sister Lian Xiu

She despises her, let alone a girl from the Yao family. But of course she won’t show that face to her niece."

Qin Youzhen asked: "I heard that Youyi had proposed a marriage to Brother Jian some time ago?"

Mrs. Niu waved her hands quickly: "Don't mention it now, it will definitely not happen. Don't ask that, you live in Dongfu, how can you not hear the news? You should know which girl it is, and why?"

Why are you asking this?"

Qin Youzhen said with some embarrassment: "I know it in my heart, but I just feel that if it hadn't been for the things that happened later, this daughter of Zhen Xihou Mansion... and Brother Jian would be a good match."

Niu said disapprovingly: "How can there be so many what-ifs in the world? Even if Miss Su didn't have an affair with that dandy from the clan, given the attitude of Zhen Xihou and his wife towards our family, this marriage would still not be possible.

.Youyi just thought too well, thinking that the two families could really get closer. But if you think about it, she has been the daughter-in-law of the Su family for more than ten years, raising her husband and raising her children, and she has done nothing wrong.

, she even went back to her natal family less often, and the Marquis of Zhenxi and his wife did not consider her as a good daughter-in-law to be more polite to her natal uncle, and marrying a daughter-in-law from the Su family would not do any harm to our family either.

You have a good face. The Marquis of Zhenxi was recalled to the capital to recuperate. It was the emperor's grace and his wife asked us to help. Our family helped because of our kindness. They have different opinions, so we can discuss it at home.

Go, what's the point of venting your anger on us outsiders? That kind of white-eyed wolf, marrying with their family is just a waste of a good child, why come? His girl is not so good that she is unique, why should she wrong Brother Jian to look cold?

Where’s your face?”

Mr. Niu had a strong opinion against the Marquis of Zhenxi, and now that he knew that he was paralyzed by a stroke and pitiful, he didn't criticize him in front of outsiders, but he was still quite rude when talking to his own family in private.

Qin Youzhen didn't care about the affairs of the Zhenxi Hou Mansion. She just smiled dryly and pointedly said: "Yes, it was indeed a good match for a well-matched family, but if the elders are unreliable, the marriage will not work out. You have to do it for

For the sake of the children." After a pause, he added, "It's not like there aren't other princely mansions in the capital. Who doesn't have a daughter?" Several of them came to Qian'er's spring banquet.

Niu said: "What does family status matter? It's not like Brother Jian can only marry a girl from a prince's family. In fact, as long as the girl is good, and her appearance, temperament, and conduct can match Brother Jian, her family background will not matter.

Yes. Frankly speaking, Brother Jian has no title left. In the future, if he wants to take the imperial examination and become an official, it may not be a bad idea to marry a girl from a scholarly family. If it is for the sake of family status, he marries an unfavorable prince's daughter.

Isn't Brother Jian's life too pitiful? As elders, we must always think long-term for our children."

Qin Youzhen's heart trembled, and she completely agreed with Niu's words, but she didn't dare to think too much. Niu was the elder in the next room, and he had never been too busy. Even if he had such extraordinary insights, he would not have any plans for himself.

What a big help. The key still lies with Xu and Yao...

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Niu then said to Qin Youzhen: "Your Yueniang is also very good, sensible, stable, and well-born. Among our relatives and friends who often interact with each other, I think your Yueniang is the best. It's a pity that she

The blood relationship with Brother Jian is closer, otherwise wouldn’t it be a good marriage? But don’t worry, people can see how good Yue Niang is, and there will definitely be good people who don’t care about family status coming to ask for marriage in the future.

."

Qin Youzhen's expression changed slightly, she just smiled dryly and thanked Mr. Niu for the compliment to her daughter, but she was filled with doubts in her heart.

Is her daughter too closely related to Qin Jian? She is the daughter of the second brother-in-law, and Qin Jian is the grandson of the eldest brother-in-law. Her daughter and Qin Jian are not from the same housemate, and their grandfathers are half-brothers.

, how close is such a blood relationship? Did Niu see something and deliberately use this as an excuse to appease her?

But no matter what, this kind of excuse is much more comfortable than talking about family status, family background, or appearance...
