Ji Zi Volume Chapter 36 It’s different (big update, please vote for me!)
"It's impossible!" Mrs. Duan suddenly became angry, "How can that kind of merchant family be worthy of my family?"
Little Duan also understood and shook his head slightly, "Wan Jun, do you think this is appropriate? The Feng family is also a martial arts family, and now the master is the governor of Ji Liao. Brother Keng is about to go to Yongping, and he is also a colleague of Zhengwu. You know, how can you marry the daughter of a businessman? Your Shen family is from a scholarly family, a prominent family in Gusu, and the ancestors of the Lin family were also nobles, and their father was also a Jinshi. They are all considered to be officials and officials, so what is the Xue family?"
Even Shen Yixiu couldn't answer this question. When it comes to family status, the Xue family is indeed a little inferior, especially since both of the Xue family's parents are deceased. This is a big problem. No one is willing to marry this person. Daughter of other people.
"Madam, aunt, in fact, the Xue family is also a family of officials. Their ancestors are from Ziweishe. Although they are now engaged in business, they are also granted the title of imperial merchant by the imperial court. The Xue family is also one of the four old Jinling families in Jinling, and is as famous as the Jia family, the Wang family, and the historians. , and the mother of the Xue family sister is the biological sister of Prince Teng, the governor of Denglai, and the wife of Lord Jia Zhengjia, the second eldest son of the Duke of Rongguo, is also the biological sister..."
Shen Yixiu introduced carefully, not only not to offend the Duans, but also to introduce the situation of the Xue family in detail in a tactful way, and to show the good side of the Xue family as much as possible, so that the Duans would not be too embarrassed. accept.
“Wizi Teng, the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion?” Mr. Duan’s face looked a little better.
The four Jinling families are somewhat famous in Jiangnan, but in the capital city, the northern gentry don't know much about them. However, the Duan family still knows about the four Jinling families because the Feng family and the Jia family are close friends. Ours.
She did not expect that the Xue family was the Xue family of the four great families in Jinling, but she felt that the Xue family was so different from the Wang family and the Jia family, even a little different.
"Master Wang and the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion, the mother of the sister of the Xue family, Master Wang, and the legitimate wives of the Jia family are the direct brothers and sisters. The mother of the younger sister of the Xue family is also the legitimate daughter of the Wang family." Shen Yixiu saw that her mother-in-law's face improved slightly. , I felt a little relieved. This kind of work is really difficult to do.
"That's not possible. The reputation of imperial merchants is not good. How can a family of officials engage in this kind of business?" Duan said with hesitation, "It's just a matter of making a living at home to support the family, but they specialize in this kind of royal business." If you are a businessman, you will disgrace the family tradition."
This topic is difficult to answer? Shen Yixiu could only look at Xiao Duan pleadingly.
Xiao Duan also feels embarrassed. From her heart, she doesn't agree with this marriage. Compared with the Shen family and the Lin family, the Xue family is a bit unable to get on the stage. Even though it has the support of the Wang family and the Jia family, she still feels that A little different? Just that Brother Keng looked like he was begging before he left? Xiao Duan also knew his temperament, and it was difficult to change things he had decided. How to do Sister Tong's job was also difficult.
"Wan Jun, Brother Keng said you know? Then you have also met this girl from the Xue family?" Xiao Duan could only make the seal from the girl from the Xue family.
"Aunt? Wan Jun has met? Sister Xue family has come to the mansion? She came with sister Lin family and several other girls from Rongguo mansion." Shen Yixiu said about the meeting with Xue Baochai, "...? Sister Xue family His appearance is absolutely top-notch, his temperament is gentle and calm, and he is accomplished in poetry, calligraphy, music, and painting. He also gets along well with Wan Jun,..."
"Well, what Wan Jun means is that this girl from the Xue family has a very good appearance and personality, and is very lovable?" Xiao Duan smiled at the corner of her mouth. She noticed her sister's disapproval, but she still had to say, "Then How old is this girl?"
"I should be seventeen this year, one year younger than my husband. He also manages the Xue family in an orderly manner at home. Even the people in the Rongguo Mansion are full of praise. Wan Jun is far behind in this regard."
Shen Yixiu's praise made Mr. Duan shake his head even more, "Wan Jun, you don't have to belittle yourself. The main reason is that you got pregnant not long after you got married. The family doesn't dare to let you work too hard. In the future, when the child is a little older, you You can run the house, but if that doesn't work, you can also ask Youshi or Qingwen to take care of the trivial matters for you, and you can just take care of the important accounts."
However, Shen Yixiu's words still made the eldest Duan's face look better. Shen Yixiu could praise her so much, and it seemed that her daughter-in-law and the other party were getting along well. The eldest Duan felt that maybe this girl's family background was slightly inferior. He is a little bit shy, but he is very kind-hearted. Otherwise, how could he make his son fall in love with him?
However, when it comes to marriage, it’s not just about a girl’s appearance. Family status is the most important factor. Without this, everything else is not enough, so it’s impossible for the Duan family to give in easily on this point. of.
Feng Ziying returned to the house and waited for an hour before her wife returned.
"how?"
"My wife still disagrees, but her tone is not so harsh. It's just that my wife still says that it would be more suitable to find a woman from another scholarly family. This lady is very insistent." Shen Yixiu was also a little helpless, "I and my wife introduced Xue I also talked about the situation of my sister, the situation of the Xue family’s ancestors, and the relationship with the Wang family and the Jia family. My wife listened, but didn’t say anything. I guess it will be difficult for my wife to accept it all at once. Let’s see if my aunt can help me again. Do some work,..."
Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her mother didn't refuse sternly, it would be much easier to handle.
He also understands his mother's temperament. She has a hard mouth but a soft heart. Isn't that what happened to Daiyu?
But now I have repeated my old tricks. If I do it again, it will inevitably make my mother a little annoyed and angry, and she feels that she has violated her rights as a mother. In this era, this right is still very important.
"That's all we can do. Let mother's anger dissipate for a while. Then let my aunt help me beat the drum. If that doesn't work, I have to write a letter to father..." Feng Ziying also felt a headache. He had anticipated this situation, but could never find a suitable reason to convince his mother.
"Mr. Xue, what are you going to do about the Xue family's sister?" Shen Yixiu was a little worried about Xue Baochai's side. "I estimate that the Xue family must have been paying attention to this situation and will know the news soon."
A great lady has been waiting for you for many years, and now she is seventeen years old. At this time, she should have gotten married long ago. It is really not easy.
If there was no news from the court, then that would be fine, but now that the court has agreed to reinstate the title, it is no longer a problem to have a concurrent marriage. You even made a promise to others, but now you have not given a clear answer. What will Baochai think about it? What should the Xue family think about?
This matter cannot be hidden. Even Yang Sichang knew it so quickly. It only took a day or two for it to spread throughout the capital city. Baochai still had to give an explanation.
"Well, I know, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wan. Thank you for helping me so much." Feng Ziying felt that Shen Yixiu had indeed made the right choice. She was a standard eldest lady, generous and magnanimous, and her demeanor was that of Baochai and Daiyu. I'm afraid it's not possible yet.
"My husband's words made me blush. My husband and I are one husband and wife, how can we say thank you?" Shen Yixiu felt sweet in his heart, but his face was unhappy.
"Okay, I said something wrong for my husband." Feng Ziying took a deep breath, "When my husband goes to Yongping, Wan Jun should take good rest at home. Don't be too tired. Don't sit for a long time even when playing mahjong. Take a walk from time to time, do some activities,..."
Looking at their father's love from a distance, Qingwen and Yun Shang were both envious and warm-hearted.
People say that my father is a romantic and lustful man, but this man is really romantic and not ruthless. He takes good care of girls, including servants like himself. The two aunts and uncles of the You family are also treated very well, including Mrs. You. He Xiangling's mother is now being raised in the mansion and is being treated very well.
Like other big families, the fathers and mothers of concubines and maids either continue to be current members, or they live separately and have to rely on their daughters to support their lives.
************
"Oh? The second room in the Feng family is going to be reinstated again?" Wang Xifeng, who was leaning on the kang, sat upright and looked at Ping'er who had just opened the door curtain and came in with a look of disbelief on his face, "Where did you come from?
What did you hear?"
"Both gentlemen are talking about it. They both say that the emperor is very kind and treats the Feng family very differently. The second uncle of the Feng family died of illness more than ten years ago. Although Uncle Yunchuan is the ancestor of the Feng family, he has no ability.
The third brother of the Feng family, who was Uncle Feng's father, was only given a powerful general, so the Feng family has always been dissatisfied and even told the court. I don't know why the court restored the title to the Feng family this time."
Ping'er listened very carefully, after all, it was related to Feng Ziying, and now the fate of himself and his grandma seemed to be tied to Uncle Feng, so when he heard Jia Zheng and Jia She talking to their ancestors, they hid in
I listened for a while.
"What did you two gentlemen say?" Wang Xifeng sat up, and Ping'er also handed over the cushion for her to lean on.
During this period, Wang Xifeng did not go out much because she was not feeling well. She stayed in the small courtyard. Even her ancestors and two wives came to see her and told her to live well and die, but she could not leave her in the affairs of the house.
"Well, the two masters were reporting to our ancestors about the current debts in the garden, and by the way they were talking about the Feng family. My servant happened to be looking for Yuanyang, so I hid aside and heard the news." Ping'er bit her tongue.
Lips, "I heard that both the Prince of Beijing and Prince of Dongping wanted to marry Uncle Feng, so they asked people to find out. It happened that the second master of the Zhen family came to Beijing. After hearing about this, they also wanted to marry, and it seemed that Zhen
The youngest daughter of the third master of the family..."
"Haha, Brother Keng has really become a piece of cake. Everyone wants to take a bite." Wang Xifeng sneered, "Don't they know that Brother Keng will be released from Beijing soon? Isn't this exile or exile?"
Ping'er laughed and said, "That doesn't count. The second master also said that Uncle Feng's holy family is strong, and Uncle Feng's teacher is still the elder. It's just that he was promoted too quickly, which made many people jealous, so he went out
To avoid the limelight, the Yongping Mansion is only two to three hundred miles east of the capital, and the return trip is only a day or two on horseback."
"You little hooves have calculated clearly. Are you feeling lusty and want to find a man?" Wang Xifeng was also a little disgusted. Watching this girl's eyes light up when she talked about Feng Ziying, Wang Xifeng couldn't express her feelings.
It tastes good, but now the master and servant are tied together, and they both prosper and suffer, so I just feel sad, but I have no other thoughts.
"Grandma!" His face turned red after being teased by Wang Xifeng. Ping'er held a sweat towel in his hand and couldn't help but stamp his feet. **** The maid went to find out the news for grandma with good intentions, but grandma was jealous for no reason? How about Uncle Feng?
Although he is a passionate and lustful person, I think he treats grandma very much..."
"What is it? It's nothing more than Greedy Auntie's body. Men like the new and hate the old. Believe it or not, Ping'er, if I let that Brother Keng have sex today, he will have to abandon him in two months.
If you are naked, the same goes for you. Don’t think that you can touch him while you are still clean. Men, huh, are all so virtuous. When they don’t have food in their mouths, they are anxious and can give you anything you want.
, once you have it in your mouth, take a look and you will feel that it is nothing more than that, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, a wife is not as fragrant as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a thief. Aren’t these words just to describe these men?”
Wang Xifeng’s face was full of coldness and he curled his lips contemptuously.
"Grandma, I think Uncle Feng is not that kind of person..." Ping'er couldn't help but shake his head, murmuring for a while before saying with a blush, "And I think Uncle Feng also has other thoughts about Grandma, which is different from other people.
of,……"
"What's the difference?" Wang Xifeng lazily stretched his body, "Men are extremely anxious when they don't have food in their mouths. If they really want to eat it, hum..."
Ping'er couldn't help it anymore, and there was a bit of a different weird expression on his face, hesitatingly said: "...Well, besides, it's just like that to other women, but grandma is different. If Uncle Feng...
Once I fall in love with grandma, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to let go again…”
Wang Xifeng's face turned red all of a sudden. She naturally understood the hidden meaning of Ping'er's words. This girl was her personal maid. Even if she didn't hide her sexual intercourse with Jia Lian, she naturally knew that they were in bed together.
In a sense, the reason why Jia Lian wants to reconcile is probably because of other factors, which are really unbearable...
Wang Xifeng didn't expect that this girl Ping'er would say this clearly today. Although she was already used to the storm, how could she mention her behavior in bed? She jumped up and couldn't help but tear Ping'er apart.
Q.
"Grandma, grandma, I made a mistake,..." Ping'er hid and said with a smile, "Forgive me, slave,..."
"Xiaolang Hoozi, how dare you arrange for me..." Wang Xifeng groaned angrily and twisted Ping'er's chest twice, and then she let go and sat down cross-legged on the kang again, "You will taste it in the future.
