After Qin Zhonghai left, Mrs. Xu thought for a long time alone in the room.

This conversation between mother and son made her realize more clearly that her eldest son Qin Zhonghai would never stand on her side again regarding the marriage with the Xu family, and even said a few nice words to coax her.

He had no intention of delaying the matter. He told her bluntly that he would never agree to the marriage. What could she do? Her husband was unreliable, and the younger son obeyed his elder brother. Without the support of the eldest son, even if she rashly asked the Xu family

Even if you make a promise, things won't work out.

What's more, as Qin Zhonghai said, she wants to facilitate the Qin and Xu families to get married again, not just for the sake of marriage. What she really hopes is that the Qin family can continue to be the backing of the Xu family! Especially now that the Xu family is in a difficult situation...

…

In fact, she wanted to bring about another marriage between the two families. Although she did have selfish motives, it was not because she did not think about her grandchildren.

Qin Jian will take the imperial examination in the future and needs a wife who comes from a scholarly family and is steady and dignified. Isn't Xu Xiu just such a lady?

Qin Jinhua has been pampered since she was a child, and she needs a husband who can continue to pamper her. Xu Zheng and her childhood sweetheart have always taken good care of her. If she can marry Xu Zheng, it is better than marrying a boy who doesn't know his temperament.

, Xu Zheng will never bully her or make her suffer. In the future, if Xu Zheng achieves success in his official career, she will also be able to enjoy wealth and wealth throughout her life.

No matter which one of these two marriages succeeds, it will be a good thing to get the best of both worlds in the end. Mrs. Xu doesn't know how things turned out like this. When the children were young, everything was fine, but who knew that the elder sister-in-law would be like this?

Mrs. Xu changed her mind first, and then the Yao family also started to make nonsense. The two sides had been in a stalemate for many years, and now they turned against each other... Mrs. Xu felt sad, angry, and complaining at the same time. She just felt that everything was not going well, and everyone

No one can understand her painstaking efforts.

Maybe the eldest son's words are right. Some things cannot be forced. She can't always let the Qin family take care of the Xu family, and even force a marriage for it. How many years can the Xu family be prosperous relying on their in-law relationship? Now she is still in the Qin family.

Fang is the mistress. If something happens to her brother, Mr. Xu, she can't help him with a word. Some things really cannot be solved by a good marriage.

However, besides facilitating a good marriage, what else can she do for the Xu family? The Xu family relied on her marriage to Qin Song to avoid catastrophe. In the past thirty years, it has also relied on inheritance.

The Enhou Mansion has gradually regained its status, and Mr. Xu has climbed to a high-ranking official position. Even though his reputation among scholars is not good, the power and status of the Xu family in the capital can be seen by everyone.

Everyone knows that this is the benefit of a good marriage, so how can they not be moved and continue along this path?

If you study hard and prepare hard for the exam, you will definitely be able to rise to the top after becoming a scholar in high school. There will not be so many petty officials who are depressed and can only stay in the sixth or seventh grade all their lives and wait to die. So what about nepotism?

?At least it is practical and convenient. Moreover, the Xu family is not a mediocre person who only relies on nepotism to get to the position. They still study seriously and take the road of imperial examination and officialdom. They are serious officials! Nepotism and in-laws are just the icing on the cake.

Mrs. Xu was vaguely aware that the Xu family was indeed on the wrong path, but she felt that there was nothing wrong with it. If there was a mistake, then what were the decades she had spent marrying into the Qin family's house? Could it be that she was wrong?

Instead of helping the Xu family, did it hinder it?

Ms. Xu was so distraught that she didn't dare to think about it any more. If she continued to think about it, she might go crazy!

She raised her hand to wipe her face, and found that her face was covered with cold sweat for some time, and her body was already cold. It was obviously a warm weather in late spring and early summer, but she actually felt cold. She was almost shaking!

She took a deep breath, held the handle of the armchair, and stood up reluctantly, telling herself not to think about it anymore. There were so many things waiting for her to solve, so what was the use of just sitting here in a daze?

It is impossible for Qin Jian and Qin Jinhua to marry the Xu family again. Apart from them, the Qin family has no suitable children, and the Xu family has no suitable children either. Xu Lan and Qin Su are of the right age, but the weight of a concubine and a concubine is not enough

Unfortunately, Xu Rong has no fame and is a little older. She knows that the second wife of the Xu family has been hoping that Xu Rong can replace Xu Zheng and marry Qin Jinhua, but how is this possible? Qin Zhonghai will inherit the title of Marquis of Cheng'en in the future.

, although he will be demoted to the title of Uncle Cheng'en when the time comes, it will still be a superior title. Jinhua is his eldest daughter, there is no way she will marry a white woman, even if she is an in-law! If Xu Rong has the reputation of being a civil servant

, that can still be considered. The problem is, Qin Jinhua is about to get her haircut, and Xu Rong doesn’t have enough time!

On the other hand, Qin Jinrong, the daughter of the second son Qin Shutao, is not far different from Xu Rong in identity, but they are four or five years older...

Mrs. Xu couldn't help but sigh. The grandchildren might not be able to make up their minds. Qin Youyi's children are still young, and the Su family's son-in-law is not someone who will obey her mother-in-law's orders. The Su family's situation is even more dire.

Not good, too busy to take care of herself, can't do much to help the Xu family. Qin Youzhen...although she is not her biological child, she has always respected her, so she might consider it. Qin Youzhen has a daughter and two sons. The eldest daughter has been married to the Yunyang Marquis Mansion and is the future

The wife of the Marquis of Yunyang has an unusual status. If the Xu family can marry the Lu family and rely on the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, maybe...

Xu was secretly glad that Lu Pu had left Beijing to take up his post in Changlu, which would not hinder her from persuading her niece Qin Youzhen for the time being. She had to find a way to get Qin Youzhen to agree to the marriage. Xu Xiu is actually a dignified and steady good girl.

Just as outstanding as Lu Yueniang. It would be great if she could become Lu Chuming's wife...

Mrs. Xu has found a new small goal for herself. Although this goal is not easy to achieve, because it is impossible for Lu Chuming to get married without Lu Pu’s nod, Mrs. Xu is very confident in the upbringing of the Xu family girl. As long as Qin Youzhen nods, everything will happen later.

Things will be much easier to handle. There is no rush for this matter now. Lu Chuming is currently preparing for the exam and will not consider marriage for the time being. She has to wait until the turmoil in the Xu family subsides and no one talks about it anymore before she can speak to Lu Pu.

Mrs. Xu made up her mind, calmed down, pretended as if nothing had happened, and went back to Xu's house the next day to visit her brother and sister-in-law who fell ill.

Mr. Xu's condition is not good now. According to the imperial doctor, he seems to have suffered a stroke. Although he has regained consciousness after acupuncture and can speak more clearly, half of his body is numb and it is difficult to move. Don't talk about it in the future.

I'm afraid it won't be convenient even to see foreigners seriously if I recover.

Uncle Xu's official career is really cut off from now on. But Uncle Xu has not even earned the fifth rank. It is not easy to expect him to fulfill his father's wish and become the prime minister?! I am afraid that the whole family's hope can only be pinned on it.

It's on Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng looked a lot thinner, and his expression was particularly haggard. Mrs. Xu looked distressed, and Grandma Xu explained: "This child has been studying harder and harder recently, saying he wants to give his grandfather some credit." Mrs. Xu sighed.

: "No matter how hard you work, you can't neglect your health. If your body is damaged, what will happen even if you pass the Jinshi exam?" He told Xu Zheng a lot of words to take care of his health. Xu Zheng agreed with promise.

Mrs. Xu went to see Mrs. Xu again. This time, she didn't mention what was going on with Qin Jian and Qin Jinhua. She just asked the eldest sister-in-law: "How is Miss Lu's temperament? Is there any intention of the Lu family to change her mind?"

Mrs. Xu panted and said to her in a hoarse voice: "Our Lu family... are not dishonest people! The engagement we promised... will never be changed!" She firmly refused to let her sister-in-law interfere in the marriage of her eldest grandson.

Mrs. Xu sighed: "Since sister-in-law insists, then do as you wish. I also hope that Miss Lu can become a good wife to brother Zheng. I hope you will not regret it in the future."

Mrs. Xu was startled and looked at her with some suspicion: "Are you... kidding?"

Mrs. Xu lowered her face and said, "It's not like we girls from the Cheng'enhou Mansion can't get married, so why do we still need to hold you back?! Jinhua's mother is currently having a wedding with someone in Dali Temple.

Qingtang family, sister-in-law, please remember to tell your daughter-in-law not to talk nonsense in front of outsiders and ruin our marriage in Jinhua!"

Madam Xu suddenly blushed.

Mrs. Xu was no longer in the mood to talk to her anymore. What had she suffered all these years? No one understood her sincerity, and instead she was guarded and complained by her relatives.

She also gave a few words to her younger brother and nephews, asking them to do their errands in the yamen well, not to make any mistakes again, and to be cautious in their daily behavior so as not to be caught out again. As for Xu Xiu's marriage, if

There is really no news from the Cai family, so they don't need to panic. She will find a way to find a good match for her grandniece and ask them to be patient and wait a little.

After everyone in the Xu family agreed to do as she said, Mrs. Xu set off back to the Marquis Chengen's Mansion. She came to the front yard and was about to get on the carriage when she heard footsteps coming from behind.

Xu Rong ran towards her carrying a cage.

Xu Rong's face turned as red as a ripe apple, and she shyly held the cage in front of Mrs. Xu: "Auntie, can you bring something for me to cousin Jinhua? Last time we went to Changping to play.

, she said she wanted a snow-white little rabbit. I have never been able to find a rabbit that suits her. Fortunately, I recently found one and gave it to her. I originally wanted to give it to her in person, but my uncle

I suddenly fell ill and it was inconvenient for me..."

At this time, if he went to Chengenhou Mansion to give Qin Jinhua a toy, the news would definitely not be hidden from Xu's parents. Xu Rong was worried that he would be punished, so he could only ask Xu to pass it on.

Mrs. Xu looked at his face and thought of what Qin Zhonghai said to her, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

"Silly boy." Ms. Xu sighed, "You have time, so why are you catching little rabbits? You should study harder! If you can have a reputation, even if it is a scholar..." She shook her head, not thinking about it.

After saying this, he turned around and got into the carriage and ordered the driver to start.

Xu Rong held the bamboo cage with the little rabbit blankly in his hands and watched Xu's carriage leave with a blank look on his face. He didn't understand why she suddenly said such words.
