In fact, Mrs. Zhan didn’t think that the intensification of the kiss was purely her intention. She felt that this was also Xuan Yu Feng’s plan: “Your sister sent someone to deliver fruit over two days ago, and she gave me some news by the way. She was planning to marry She'er and asked me if there was a suitable girl in the Feng family - I thought about it, the only girl among my grandchildren, isn't she a sweetheart? I think it's your sister who knows that you and your wife care about each other. Be careful, I’m afraid I won’t be sure if I ask you directly, so you came here specifically to ask me to find out what you mean for her!”
Xuan Yushe is already nineteen years old. As the current head of the Xuan Yu family and the only biological son of the Xuan Yu Feng family, they should have gotten married a long time ago.
The reason why there is no sign of his fiancée until now is ultimately because of the involvement of his parents: his father Xuan Yule had numerous love debts and had many illegitimate and concubine children. Even though Xuan Yushe was the eldest son, Xuan Yushe was the eldest son. Le did not have time to interfere with his life-long affairs; and his mother Xuan Yu Feng was busy in the backyard all day long and had no time to pick a daughter-in-law.
Xuan Yule died the year before last, and a property dispute broke out in Xuan Yu's family. Xuan Yu and Feng's thoughts were all focused on scheming with the clan members, and they had no time to propose marriage to their son.
After two years of consolidating his position, Xuan Yu'e, who had the fiercest fight with Xuan Yu Feng, suffered a tragedy for his family. While Xuan Yu Feng was in a good mood, he finally freed up his hands to care about his son's marriage - Mr. Zhan She was afraid that Mrs. Feng would not agree, so she spoke enthusiastically to her grandson: "You sisters have always had a good relationship, and Yin Xue treats her like her own daughter. She never sees her outside. With such a close relationship, the children have become their childhood sweethearts. As elders, we can rest assured, isn’t it a match made in heaven?”
Yinxue is the maiden name of the Feng family.
Feng's impression of her nephew Xuan Yushe was quite good. Although Xuan Yushe was not as handsome and tall as Sheng Suihe and Xu Baomo, he could still be said to have a majestic appearance, good conduct and a good temper. He had always been very fond of his cousin Sheng Weiqiao. Indulge in courtesy.
Moreover, Xuan Yushe was the only son of the Xuan Yu Feng family. As for the future wife, there are no sisters-in-law or sisters-in-law to deal with. She only needs to serve Xuanyu Feng's mother-in-law in the backyard.
Then it was announced that although Feng often beat Sheng Weiqiao, she really loved her niece. If Sheng Weiqiao becomes Xuanyu Feng's daughter-in-law, Feng believes that her sister will not treat her daughter badly.
Thinking of this, Feng was moved but also a little hesitant: "She'er is already nineteen. If the eldest sister had not had free time in recent years, she wouldn't have delayed mentioning his marriage until now. But Guannian is only thirteen, and now Although there are some people who leave the government at the age of thirteen, for a family like ours, we have to stay until we are fifteen or sixteen. Mom also knows that she is the only child between me and her father, and her father had said earlier that he planned to stay for a few more years. I'm afraid that my eldest sister is in a hurry to hold her grandson, so she may not be willing to wait?"
Mrs. Zhan said disapprovingly: "Your eldest sister said she is the old lady of the Xuan Yu family. She is only about thirty years old. How old is she? What's more, even a real old lady like me won't be able to survive in three to five years." Can’t wait!”
Feng thought about it, but the matter was so serious that although she was tempted, she did not agree. She only said: "Mom, I also know that my husband always loves my good girl, so my good girl's marriage will definitely require his approval. What's more, Since the parents-in-law are still here, they will definitely be informed of the grand daughter’s life events!”
Mrs. Zhan was about to say, "These are all things that should be done," but didn't want to hear her youngest daughter continue, "Speaking of which, my husband told me two days ago that my father-in-law seems to be interested in bringing my good girl and Prince Xu together!"
"Prince Xu?" Mrs. Zhan couldn't help but frown slightly when she heard this, "It is said that your father-in-law was once the boss of Mr. Xu. However, now that Lan has retired to the county, Marquis Ning Wei is becoming more powerful. Our hearts are so innocent. How can such a son with such a temperament tolerate the rules of their Marquis Mansion? What's more, Youdao knows people, faces but not hearts. Unlike She'er, we didn't watch Prince Xu grow up in person. Even if he comes to live in Sheng Mansion this time, after all, We have only been together for a short time, and I’m afraid we may not be able to discern his true character!”
She mused, "In case he is not someone worthy of being entrusted to him for life, if Mr. Xu is here, for the sake of your father-in-law, he might be forced to treat him kindly; once Mr. Xu is gone, you can call him a darling." How's it going?"
When Mrs. Zhan said this, she didn't mean to put eye drops on Xu Baomo, that's what she really meant.
"I don't really agree with this matter." Feng said in a low voice, "Even if the Crown Prince Xu is a man worthy of being entrusted to him for the rest of his life, and if you just marry and follow the lead, that Crown Prince has already gained a great reputation, and in two years it will be inevitable." I will go to Chang'an to take the exam. Regardless of whether I win or not, I guess I will live in Chang'an forever from now on and fulfill my filial piety to Ning Weihou and his wife. If my dear girl agrees to him, she will definitely not be able to stay in Nanfeng County. In this way, the two of us will go to Chang'an. In the end, it was difficult to even meet him! How could I bear to do this?"
"But mother also knows that although the husband has always made the final decision on big and small matters in the family, my father-in-law is the elder after all. He personally spoke and my husband failed to stop me. As a daughter-in-law, I can't rush in and make irresponsible remarks! "
Mrs. Feng put her index finger to her lips, showing a sly look, "But now the eldest sister has done me a favor - I will tell my father-in-law later that my good girl and She'er are more compatible. I think my father-in-law won't have to let my good girl follow her." Prince Xu has made a pair!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhan looked at each other, smiled, and urged: "Well, I've already told you the matter. Don't delay here anymore. Go back and tell Lan Ci about it and see what he means." Lan Ci nodded and immediately cleared the way for the two children to prevent your father-in-law from messing up the rules again!"
After seeing off Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Zhan was very happy to ask her confidant to go to Xuan Yu's house in person, partly to announce the good news to Xuan Yu and partly to take credit for Mrs. Feng: "Look at the matter about the central liver, I have just told you Your sister said it, and judging from what your sister meant, she was very much in favor! Although she said she had to go back and discuss it with your brother-in-law, you also know how they feel about each other. Your sister nodded, and 100% of the time your brother-in-law wouldn’t. I have objections! It seems that their old man is planning to match up his sweetheart with that Crown Prince Xu. When you send someone to propose marriage later, you’d better say a few words that the two children are childhood sweethearts and have feelings for each other, so that the old man will not be able to step down. "
Mrs. Zhan thought she had done a good deed for the younger generation, but a long time later, Xuanyu Feng herself hurried to the Feng Mansion. As soon as she saw her face, without even having time to salute, she said in a hurry: "Mother! You are so messed up. What kind of mandarin duck book are you ordering? I'm obviously asking you if there is a girl in the Feng family who is suitable for marrying She'er, but why do you think that Qiao'er is in trouble?!"
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Zhan was shocked when she heard that she had no intention of asking Sheng Weiqiao to be her daughter-in-law. "I don't have a granddaughter. I only have a sweet granddaughter who is dear to my heart. If it weren't for She'er, she would also be my direct grandson." , I still can’t bear to tell him my true feelings!”
"Don't I like Qiao Er?" Xuan Yu Feng looked at her disapproving and even questioning expression, and almost sighed, "However, let's not say whether there is a relationship between a man and a woman between her and She'er. The temperament of the two children is not suitable for them to be a couple!"
Xuan Yu Feng's explanation was almost heartbreaking, "She'er is my only son and the head of the Xuan Yu family! In order for him to be the head of the family, in order for him to firmly take the position of the head of the family, I have put so much effort into it over the years. , Mom, you also know how many hands the Feng family and the Sheng family have secretly joined! However, although She'er is not as naive as Qiao Er, when it comes to the city's skills, in the final analysis, he is the middle man!"
"If you marry him again, that careless Qiaoer, you said that even if these two children live a loving life, I can still protect them from wind and rain when I am here. Once I am gone, the rest of the Xuanyu family will not be able to Eat them?!”
Xuan Yu Feng's face darkened, "And with all their tricks, how can they protect themselves?!"
Seeing Mrs. Zhan's mouth wide open in surprise, Xuanyu Feng sighed and said seriously, "So, I have never considered asking Qiaoer to be my daughter-in-law - I just hope that you can recommend me, the Feng clan Is there a girl who is close to She'er's age and has a scheming and reliable character who can take on the role of the mistress of the Xuan Yu family?"
"Then you should speak clearly earlier!" Mrs. Zhan's face was bruised and white, and she felt very embarrassed. "I thought you were afraid of being rejected by Mr. and Mrs. Yinlu, so you came to me to talk to me! It's okay now. I'll talk to you. Yin Lu was talking excitedly, I'm afraid she's already discussing with Lan Ci right now, but you said you didn't care about the liver at all!"
Xuan Yu Feng said helplessly: "Yin Lu and I are sisters, what can't we talk about in private? I really like Qiao Er, why bother you?"
Then he reminded her, "Since Yin Lu has gone back to discuss with her brother-in-law, I think mother should send someone to chase her and explain! This kind of thing can't be delayed. If there is any news, it doesn't matter that She'er is a man, right? Qiaoer is not a good person!"
Just as Mrs. Zhan was about to answer, a report came from the servants outside, saying that Mrs. Le and Mrs. Wu had come to pay their respects to the old lady.
This was actually not the time for the Feng family to pay their respects, but it was the time when the sisters-in-law heard that the sister-in-law had come back today, and they came with the sister-in-law. They were worried that something had happened, so they found an excuse to come and have a look.
After entering the door, I bowed to the old lady, and met with Xuan Yu Feng. They exchanged a few words. Seeing that both the mother and daughter didn't look good, they naturally wanted to ask why - this is not something that cannot be said. Xuanyu Feng told the story in a few words, and once again urged Mrs. Zhan to send someone to Sheng Mansion to explain to avoid further misunderstandings.
"What's going on!" Leshi and Wu looked at each other after hearing this, and Leshi laughed, half testing and half expecting, "The eldest sister only has one child, She'er, so naturally She'er's wife You have to choose someone who is thoughtful and can help you in the future! However, there is more than one male heir in our house. Zhiren is the eldest grandson of the Feng family. Of course, his wife also needs to be smart and capable, but Zhiyi is only the eldest son of the Feng family. The second son, his mother and eldest sister also see his character. They dare not say how outstanding he is. He can still bear the words "honest and honest". If he can marry Qiaoer, I will dream of it in my life. Wake up with a smile!”
Not counting the children who died in infancy, the Feng family has six grandchildren in this generation, all of whom are men—
The eldest son, Feng Zhiren, and the second son, Feng Zhiyi, are both children of the Le family. The third son, Feng Zhihuan, and the fourth son, Feng Zhishuo, are the children of the concubine. The second family has no children, and the current two sons, Feng Zhiwei and Feng Zhihua All come from Wu family.
Among them, Feng Zhiren is twenty-two this year. Feng Zhiyi is two years younger than his eldest brother. Next, Feng Zhihuan and Feng Zhishuo are twelve and ten years old. The two children in the second bedroom are even younger. The elder is eight years old and the younger is seven. age.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Feng family will definitely be handed over to the eldest grandson Feng Zhiren in the future.
Therefore, Leshi was not worried about the future of her eldest son. She was worried about her second son, Feng Zhiyi.
Feng Zhiyi, like Xuan Yushe, was just a middle-aged man, and because of his wealthy family background, he had never been very hardworking. Therefore, although the second young master Feng has nothing to do with the dandies, he has nothing outstanding in terms of talent and academics. He can only be said to be a very ordinary rich young man. According to the rules of the Feng family, he will get a share in the future. The family fortune, which is quite rich for ordinary people but very meager for the entire Feng family, is used to start their own business.
Leshi knows that Feng Zhiyi is not a very good business person, and even this child is not a spendthrift person, but she thinks that if Feng Zhiyi's children do not have extraordinary talents, it is estimated that her grandchildren will only be ordinary rich people and leave Nanfeng. Being in the top wealthy circles of the county, I feel a little bit unable to let go.
The problem is that she has no ability to change the rules that have been inherited by the Feng family, so she can only find a way to find a good wife for Feng Zhiyi to continue the wealth of her descendants.
Looking at Nanfeng County, there is no better candidate than Sheng Weiqiao: his father is in power, he is very favored, the dowry must be extremely generous, and most importantly, although the girl is a bit petty, she is not a difficult person to get along with. , I don’t have any bad intentions, I won’t instigate my husband to compete with my eldest brother for family property, and my appearance is not bad either.
To be honest, Leshi wanted to tell her to Feng Zhiyi for more than a day or two. But Sheng Weiqiao was deeply loved by her elders, and Feng Zhiyi was not a particularly outstanding talent, so Leshi never dared to speak.
This was a rare opportunity to test, and Leshi refused to let it go. She tried hard to convince Mrs. Zhan, "Mom, you only have one granddaughter, and she has always been regarded as the apple of your eye! But girls always have to get married. , Qiao'er will definitely put her husband's family first when she leaves the palace. Even if she is still in the county, she can't say that she will go back to her parents' home every three days to visit, let alone come to see you! So my wife said, it's better to take her If you marry into our family, I will love you every day from now on!"
Mrs. Zhan was originally very happy about kissing her eldest daughter, so she was quite disappointed when she found out that she had mistaken the meaning of her eldest daughter. When she was encouraged by Leshi, she couldn't help but feel a sense of renewed hope. She pondered for a moment and said : "In this case, I will send people to Sheng Mansion now to explain this misunderstanding to Yin Lu, and then bring her our thoughts - let's see the outcome of their discussion as a couple!"
Leshi was a little disappointed when she saw that the old lady did not express her support for the marriage, but then she thought that at least the old lady had no objection, and she had always had a good relationship with her sister-in-law Feng Yinlu, and she was extremely loving to her niece Sheng Weiqiao. Now it is announced to Feng Shi has clearly withdrawn from the competition. His son may not have no hope, right
