The old couple of the Xu family was very enthusiastic about getting married with the Sheng family. After finishing her grandson, they went to the study to write a letter -of course in the letter, they could not question whether Sheng Weiqiao's product was true. Can that girl have a hot-tempered old man Sheng as her guarantor? In comparison, how can the words of her grandson, who has a philandering and philandering nature, be trusted
So the author of the letter asked if he could make some insinuations about whether his grandson showed any behavior or remarks that were not suitable for him as a son-in-law while he was in the Sheng family
"If there is, we have to find a way to make things right for him as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, we can beat him again and force him to go to the Sheng family to plead guilty! This will teach the Sheng family that he has changed his ways and will never do anything again. I will do it again." Old Madam Xiahou said, "Otherwise, how can we hope to marry a girl from the Sheng family?"
Mr. Xu Laohou was convinced.
Then at the beginning of the letter, I paid special attention to the whole story of the Dong Ao family's visit again: whether the old man of the Ao family and Mr. Xu were colleagues in the past, and the Xu family knew about the twists and turns of Sheng Ao's marriage. I have always hated him.
Now that the Hong family is dead, the Ao family has finally visited the Sheng family again. This is definitely good news for Mr. Xu. Even if he didn't inquire about his grandson's behavior in the Sheng family, he would definitely write a letter. Ask those who pass by.
... A few months later, the travel-worn messenger entered Nanfeng County. He knocked on the door of Dongma in front of Shengfu and explained his intention.
When the disciples of the Sheng family heard that Marquis Ning Wei's biological father had personally written a letter, they went to invite the visitor into the house, served tea in a side hall, and followed him outside to report - although the visitor had already stated whether he had brought an autographed letter from Lord Xu to Sheng. Old Master, but because Old Mrs. Sheng has not recovered from his illness, in order to prevent the old man from being irritated again during his illness, Sheng Lan had previously ordered his private employer to report all matters related to the old master to the big house for review.
And Sheng Lanci himself, Hongtian, was basically patrolling outside, and the head of the residence was the Feng family.
When Mrs. Feng heard about this, she immediately became very nervous: "Counting the time, the Xu family boy just returned, and Mr. Xu wrote a letter! So eager, are the Xu family planning to propose marriage?!"
— Ever since that day when she heard her daughter secretly reveal that she and Xu Baomo were in love, Feng's mood had never been better!
Because Sheng Weiqiao will only be thirteen next year, Feng originally held out hope that after Xu Baomo left, her daughter would gradually lose that feeling as time went by.
When the time comes, if she calls Feng Zhiyi to the Sheng family more often and meets her daughter from time to time, maybe her daughter won't need to marry far away!
It turned out that it had only been a few days, and she didn't even have time to go to her parents' house to pick up her nephew. A letter came from the Xu family - if she was serious about discussing marriage with Mrs. Sheng, wouldn't her only daughter be destined to be unable to stay? Around? !
When Feng thought of that, a flash of determination flashed in her eyes, and Cuodong said: "I told the person who came here that dad is sick and it is inconvenient to see him in person. Ask him to give me the letter, and I will bring it to him. When dad wakes up, he Then show it to his old man!"
He added, "Because of dad's illness, I'm afraid it will take two months before he can reply to his request. Let the man stay in the house for a while. Remember to be polite and treat him as a guest!"
The east man bowed in response and went to the side hall to convey Feng's message - the messenger knew that Mrs. Sheng's confinement period was indeed not a good one, and that the Sheng family had always been the head of the household. Hearing this, he handed over the letter without hesitation.
After a while, Mrs. Feng took the letter with Mr. Xu's private seal and walked into the empty outer room alone with a solemn expression!
According to Feng's idea, under the guise of delivering the letter to the father-in-law, he quietly opened the letter and read it. If the letter did not mention the marriage proposal, then naturally it would be best to seal it back as it is and give it to the father-in-law himself. Reply to the letter, and that’s it!
But if that letter was indeed written to deny the marriage between Xu Baomo and Sheng Weiqiao, then she could forge a rejection letter, and then get another fake letter and send it to her father-in-law!
Although this move might be exposed at some point, Feng still agreed to cut off the marriage between her daughter and the Xu family, even if the father-in-law Baoyuan punished her or even rejected her a month later!
But when it came time to actually ask for the letter to be opened, Feng spent a long time gesticulating, but she still felt that there was nothing she could do - she could not care about her father-in-law's wrath, but what about her daughter Sheng Weiqiao's thoughts
If the daughter has her sights set on Xu Baomo and will not marry him unless she does so, then even if she does the trick now, she may not be able to stop the marriage. She may not be sure, but it may ruin the relationship between mother and daughter!
Thinking of the time when he accidentally went out and made a mistake with Sheng Lanci, why didn't the Feng family go against the grain of Sheng Lanci because they were worried about disputes in the back house
At that time, Feng, like Sheng Weiqiao, was favored by her family, and she was even more arrogant and willful than Sheng Weiqiao now. But the more her family members rebelled against her, the more she persisted - the world is repaid very quickly, and now it is her turn to feel the Feng family How I felt back then!
After hesitating for a long time, Ms. Feng finally let go of the letter: "Anyway, I have already asked the visitor to stay in the house for a few months until my father-in-law's condition gets better before replying to the letter. Why should he be in a hurry? We will discuss it together after my husband comes back." It’s not too late to make a decision!”
When Jie Dong came that day, she was distracted in everything she did. The moon was slightly tilted, so she couldn't help but send people out to find Sheng Lanci and ask him to come back early.
Sheng Lanci thought something had happened at home and hurried back. When his wife took out the letter and explained what happened, she couldn't help but frown!
Regarding the son-in-law’s question, is there any difference between his and Feng’s ideas:
Feng asked her daughter to marry her, and everything else was easy to deal with. Although Sheng Lanci also hoped that her daughter could still see each other often after she left the cabinet, she was really unwilling to let her daughter marry someone with mediocre talents!
Therefore, Sheng Lanci has always been a bit wavering between Feng Zhiyi, whom his wife recommended, and Xu Baomo, who was favored by Mrs. Sheng.
Did he originally plan to wait until he had gone through that period to carefully analyze and consider Dong's issue? Who knows if the plan will change soon? Not only has his daughter already made a clear relationship with Xu Baomo, but the Xu family is also suspected of proposing marriage while the iron is hot - Although Sheng Lanci had never been surprised by changes, she couldn't help but feel that she was caught off guard at this moment!
Carrying his legs behind his back, he paced back and forth in the room for a while. He finally stood still and made up his mind: "Then let's open the letter without asking for help!"
Feng went and said: "Why would he be willing to pry into the letters of his elders? But if Marquis Xu refuses to deny whether the letter is genuine or not, he will definitely agree! By then..."
"Dad has always valued our family. Since Guobiao is our only daughter, if Daddy can no longer agree to give Guobiao to that boy from the Xu family, he has to discuss it with us and make a decision directly." Sheng Lanci He shook his head and said, "So even if Uncle Xu Shi directly mentioned in the letter that time that he wanted to hire a good girl for the Xu family boy, there is still room for mediation!"
"Can the Xu family boy please go to Chang'an sooner or later!!!" Mrs. Feng couldn't help but burst into tears. "We only have a daughter. How can I bear to raise her until she leaves the pavilion at the age of ten, and then never see each other again?" ?!"
She knew what her husband was thinking about when choosing a son-in-law, and she would complain, "His dowry and the family fortune I saved are enough to buy Mo Nan and her good daughter's children a carefree life." Oh! So why do you have to force your future son-in-law's talents? What's wrong with an honest and loyal child like Zhiyi!"
"He originally thought Zhiyi's child was good, but recent events in our family have made him feel that his future son-in-law is too useless and he is really worried!" Sheng Lanci was silent for a while, patted his wife's shoulder and arm, He sighed, "Look at the second brother and the third brother - back then they could not serve their parents and take care of their ancestral business in the East, so he could become an official in the countryside! In those years, although we have wronged them a lot, once a conflict occurs , we feel that their actions have affected us, and we ask them to get out of this house, even if they can't move their legs! Even if the mother tried her best with the second wife, it was difficult for the second wife to get out cleanly? !”
"The reason why the third room is so popular in that house is simply because the third brother and the third brother and sister are very honest and have never caused us any trouble! Otherwise, one day we would beg them to leave. I think it would be difficult?"
Sheng Lanci had a sinister look in her eyes, "I hope my dear girl will have a confinement period like that of her second or third younger siblings?! I look at my sister-in-law's face all day long, and even her children also want to be taught to hold me in the arms since they were young. brothers and sisters?!"
"If my future son-in-law is not talented enough, he will not be able to make my dear daughter rich and prosperous, and will also cause my dear daughter to lose face and status!"
Hearing this, Ms. Feng couldn't help but feel like she was struck by lightning - the reason why Sheng Weiqiao was recognized as the jewel in the hands of the entire Sheng family was not because she was beautiful, let alone because she was charming, but simply because she was the daughter of Sheng Lanci and his wife. Loved by parents!
In addition, she did not deny that her niece, whom the old lady of the Yu family regarded as her own, was the only granddaughter of the Feng family, a well-established and powerful family, so her status in the Sheng family was different!
In other words, she has a unique status in the entire Nanfeng County—otherwise, why did the Han family send people to the shore to capture her as a hostage? !
In the future, all of her elders who Sheng Weiqiao relied on will be gone. When Sheng Weiqiao can only rely on her husband and children, if her husband is not strong enough...
Thinking of Mrs. Hong's unconcealed jealousy when she was still alive, as well as the occasional envy and sadness shown in Xiao's words and deeds - Mrs. Feng felt as if she was waking up from a dream, and said with a sigh: "Can you be a good girl with a simple temperament?" , how can we rest assured after marrying far away?!"
"Dad is already fifty-five years old." Sheng Lanci held her leg and walked away softly by the west window, saying in a low voice, "Although I am old and strong, I am no younger than us after all! If I didn't serve dad, Why should I and him stay in Sangzi all the time? Our family’s business is not just in the county! What’s more, even if there is no place for our family’s business, wouldn’t it be untenable for us to be embarrassed? "
