Chapter 65: Rejecting Marriage

Aunt Chu shook her head and sighed: "You are still young and only look at the splendor of wealthy families. How can you understand that when a girl is looking for a son-in-law, the most important thing is his character!"

When the girls heard the words "looking for a son-in-law", they couldn't help but blush. They just smiled quietly and stopped talking.

Shen Qiujun was holding a book at this time, casually leaning on the couch and taking a nap. Naturally, he heard what was said outside.

What Aunt Chu said was certainly reasonable, but although Xue Liu said it a bit harshly, it was not without reason.

Since ancient times, marriage has always been about being from the right family. Good men with good character and motivation are not only found in low-income families, but also in aristocratic families. There is also a saying: marry a woman from a low-level family, and marry a daughter from a high-level family.

Unless the man is really talented and can be appreciated by his future father-in-law, he will rarely get married. Because abnormal things can always arouse the interest of others, and they will speculate again and again, and I don’t know what the word will become. It’s terrible. very.

Shen Qiujun closed his eyes and meditated for half a day. He really couldn't imagine that in his previous life, there was such a famous person as the second son of the Jin family!

Even in this life, I have only gone out a few times, but I have always protected him closely, and I have never interacted with him!

This marriage proposal is really a bit strange!

Could it be that in the past life, I was accompanying my sister on the Zhuangzi, and my mother refused immediately when she saw that the family was not right, so I missed this incident?

Mrs. Shen was also confused at this time.

Because she had three daughters, although she couldn't tell most of the well-matched young masters in the capital, she did know a little about what was going on with the Jin family. But she didn't know a word about it.

Because the Jin family's rank was too low, she used to only consider young people from noble families. Later, because of the list in her husband's hand, she also lowered the standard slightly, but it was never lower than that of a third-rank family. A small one from a fifth-rank family , she really didn’t pay attention to it.

However, it is commendable that he dared to come to propose marriage, but his family's affairs were not safe enough. Why did they invite the official media to come to the house? They had to find an acquaintance to talk to each other first, so that both of them would be prepared, otherwise it would not be possible in the future. , both families are not good-looking.

Although Mrs. Shen looked down upon the Jin family, she politely sent the matchmaker away on the grounds that she wanted to discuss with the Marquis.

Mrs. Shen knew that her daughter would find out the news early in the morning, so she saved her own words.

Although the Jin family's family background is too low, it will definitely not succeed, but his family can come to ask for marriage regardless of family background, which shows that they admire their daughter too much. Every time I think of this, I feel very proud. Seeing that my daughter has grown up like my daughter. I was delighted. But it made Shen Qiujun feel horrified and extremely uncomfortable.

Just after dinner in the evening, Mrs. Shen rushed her daughter back to her room and told the Shen family and her son what happened today.

Shen Zhaoning said hurriedly: "With a family like his, just thinking about it makes me feel wronged by my sister, let alone marrying her!"

Father Shen frowned and gave his son a reproachful look. He said: "Young man, don't ask where you came from! You just made a fortune in your previous life and were reborn in a wealthy family. You are superior to others in food, housing, clothing, and so on, so you don't know your own importance. You have not made any achievements at present. , you have the nerve to laugh at people who are not as good as you, you are really a frog in the well!"

Mrs. Shen also said: "It is indeed too low!"

Father Shen thought for a moment and said, "Let me ask around tomorrow. If the situation of the second young master of the Jin family is good...but he is indeed from a lower background, let's ask first and then talk about it!"

When Jin Yuanwailang returned home, he learned that his wife had actually listened to his son's words and sent people to the Marquis Mansion to propose marriage. He was so angry that he trembled all over, pointed at his wife's nose and cursed: "Ignorant woman! Sooner or later this family will be destroyed by you. in the hands."

After saying that, Mr. Jin waved his sleeves and went to the outer study. But the marriage had already been mentioned, and he couldn't go to refuse at this time. He only hoped that the Shen family would just take it as a joke and laugh it off, otherwise it would really sound like, ugh. , I don’t know what will happen!

The more Jin Yuanwailang thought about it, the more worried he became. He was now at an age where he knew his destiny. He worked diligently and managed to get through to the fifth rank. He hoped that if he could stay in the fifth rank for a few more years, he would be more prosperous in the future.

Alas, it's all my fault that I was of such a low background that I had to marry such a short-sighted and ignorant woman. The eldest son only worked as a farm hand at home, and the younger son was so incompetent!

The more Jin Yuanwailang thought about it, the more depressed he became, so he went to the concubine's room where he knew a few words. After being persuaded by the flower of explanation, he was relieved of his depression a little!

When Mrs. Jin learned about it, she was so angry that she cursed.

When she married Jin Yuanwailang, his family was so poor that they had no land, and they respected him as a scholar but had no ability to restrain a chicken. It was not because she worked hard and supported him to study.

Now that she is an official, she is always considered vulgar and ignorant, and she cannot read a word!

Pooh!

When he was doing laundry in the winter, his hands were frozen to death. Why did he have tears in his eyes and said that finding such a good wife was the greatest blessing in his life, and he would never lose her!

Bullshit! Now I have enough food and clothing, but I don’t see him coming to my room once in a month.

He also complained that he did not know how to educate his children. His eldest son could not even pass the examination as a scholar, and his younger son was a playboy.

Can she blame her for this? If she hadn't tried her best to support him in rushing for the exam and was afraid of wasting his energy, wouldn't the eldest son still be pregnant even after he was over ten years old?

The younger son had developed a disease, but it was not what she wanted. When his parents-in-law were not in good health, he was afraid that he would be worried about it, and he would not be the father-in-law he wanted to serve when he returned home.

My parents-in-law really thought of me as the grand master and doted on their little son to no end. She said something briefly, and my parents-in-law said something about him being disobedient and unfilial!

It’s no longer the caring and grateful person he once was!

She keeps saying that she is lucky, and because of her son's honor, she has become a wife! Now that she has become a wife, she must follow the rules of a big family to serve her parents-in-law.

I'm angry that I have become a daughter-in-law again in my hometown, but he was happy sleeping with a girl in Beijing!

After Mrs. Jin scolded her, she felt a little more comfortable, and gritted her teeth and said: "Don't get too complacent, little bitch, wait until I marry my son to a young lady from the Hou family, and you will be able to see what I am capable of!"

The girls and women nearby sighed inwardly, their ears were now at peace!

Is it possible to marry the daughter of the Marquis Mansion just by asking for it?

She came from the countryside, so she was very vulgar and ignorant. Ordinary girls were a hundred times better than her, so she couldn't blame the master for doting on his aunt!

After the morning meeting on the second day, Father Shen paid special attention to Jin Yuanwai Lang.

When Mr. Jin saw Mr. Shen looking at him, his heart skipped a beat and he broke out in a cold sweat. When someone asked Mr. Shen to talk, he quickly ran away.

When Father Shen saw him hiding like a cat and a mouse, he became suspicious. How could he be asking for marriage? It seemed like something was fishy.

Mrs. Shen also arranged for a trustworthy servant to secretly attack the family of the gold master early in the morning.

Although Shen Qiujun had no plans to get married yet, he did not stop his mother from inquiring.

Because this happened really suddenly, and it had never happened before in my previous life.

If she had followed her past temperament, she would have asked her mother to ignore it. But after reviving her life, she found that she was still too naive. Except for her parents and second brother and second sister, everyone seemed to be carrying a little secret. They all live their lives wearing masks.

Therefore, she couldn't help but guess: This might be a trap set by someone with good intentions!

Under normal circumstances, you can't get any results from asking openly. You can only get a general understanding of his family's situation. If you really want to know how that person is, you have to find an acquaintance and ask in detail.

When the servant came to report back, Mrs. Shen was so angry that she threw a tea bowl and cursed: "This is too much of a bullying! After looking at the Hou Mansion, no one still thinks that the Hou Mansion is easy to talk to."

After that, she went to find the official media, who spat at her hard and cursed: "Lard has deceived your heart. What good did he promise you? How dare you come and talk about such a marriage!"

The matchmaker did not dare to go against the Hou Mansion, so he silently let the servants of the Hou Mansion point their noses and scold him.

As soon as Mrs. Jin opened her mouth to speak that day, she felt that Mrs. Jin was really crazy. It was difficult to speak to someone who was not from the right family.

However, Mrs. Jin smiled mysteriously and said confidently: "Just go, his family will definitely get it right."

She felt something in her heart. She had seen his young master years ago. He was quite handsome, but looking at his eyes, she felt that he might have some evil intentions.

But there is a saying: Men are not bad, but women do not love them! Another saying: Chang'e has loved young men since ancient times.

Then our young lady, who has been shut up in a boudoir all day long, might not be able to fall in love with a handsome young man who has a smooth tongue.

It's hard to say that there was something wrong between the two of them, so the Jin family went out of their way to ask someone to marry them.

And seeing that Mrs. Jin promised a lot of money, people would die for wealth, so they decided to make a trip. If it worked, everyone would be happy, and they would also get the reward. If it didn't work, it would just be a matter of mouthing, and at worst, they would be scolded by the Shen family. What happened to the Jin family? You can also give me some money for running errands.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen not only did not spit at her, but politely said that she would discuss it with her family first. She did not say that it was a polite remark, but instead thought that she had guessed it.

I was originally thinking about how to reveal this secret to my sisters, but now I feel so shameless.

After seeing the people from the Shen Mansion leaving, the matchmaker ran directly to the Jin Mansion, regardless of how late it was, and said to Mrs. Jin: "I said her family has a high threshold, and you are asking for trouble if you go there! But you said her family will definitely know it." That’s right, I’ll be spit in the face by her mother-in-law, now I’ve offended the Hou Mansion, and I’m afraid my future livelihood will be gone!”

Mrs. Jin knew that the matchmaker was here to ask for money for running errands.

But things didn't work out, and Mrs. Jin was used to it. Although her youngest son was a waste of money, she regarded a few taels of silver as a big deal, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, I have two hundred dollars here." , you can take it and make a pot of wine to calm down the panic."

The matchmaker didn't expect Mrs. Jin to be so stingy, and she blushed with anger, but even though the mosquito legs were small and meaty, she still took the money and left angrily.

But at the end of the day, I was not angry, and I cursed in my heart: How could a person living in this high-class compound be able to get a reward of two hundred dollars? Not to mention the Marquis Mansion, it would be an ordinary blind person who would marry his daughter to this place. This kind of person cannot stand up to the public eye!

Because it was related to the Hou Mansion, she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to keep it in her heart for the time being. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
