This kind of Yu Yuan made Chen feel very interesting, she teased him and said: "You nod indiscriminately, do you agree with your uncle's words or disagree?"
Yu Yuan, who is usually very easy-going and generous, ran away quickly after hearing this.
Chen Shi and Yu Wen laughed loudly, cleaned up, and then went to Yu Bo's house.
Yu Tang stood blankly under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and didn't come back to his senses for a long while.
In her previous life, her eldest cousin did not mention marriage so early.
Because her parents passed away, and there was no male in her family, the eldest cousin took the initiative to pick up two houses on his own shoulder, and kept mourning for her parents for three years.
Three years later, in the eyes of the world, the Yu family had already fallen, and the eldest cousin's marriage became the heart disease of the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt. Those who are well-educated, dislike their poverty, and are willing to marry their daughters over, all have obvious disadvantages in one way or another. But because of the death of her parents, the family is really thin. The eldest uncle and aunt are anxious to marry the eldest cousin, and marry the Gao family, a squire in Heqiao Town.
Who knows that the Gao family is very beautiful, but has a very violent temper. After marrying, he had many conflicts with his uncle and aunt, and then he disliked Yu Yuan for not being able to make money, so he would not let Yu Yuan get close to him at all times, and finally he simply moved back. natal family.
Although Yu Yuan has a wife, it is equivalent to not having a wife, let alone the grandson that his aunt and uncle have been looking forward to.
When Yu Yuan made money and Gao returned to Yu's family, she felt that Yu Yuan was too mean to her and was unwilling to help her natal family.
No matter how much the eldest aunt and uncle tolerated, she would not give up on money, and insisted that Yu Yuan give her all the property in the family.
Under the persuasion of his aunt and uncle, the eldest cousin handed over the family property to Gao, but the relationship between the two fell to freezing point.
The eldest cousin is doing business outside and is away all year round, while Mrs. Gao is at home calling friends, drinking and ordering.
The house was full of smog.
In the end, Yu Yuan died unexpectedly, and Gao took away the family's belongings and ran away with a businessman.
This is also why the life of the eldest aunt has hardly settled after the death of the eldest uncle and the eldest cousin...
Thinking of these past events, Yu Tang sighed bitterly.
In her previous life, she couldn't help Yu Yuan, but she always hoped that her first cousin would have a happy family, and that she would have someone who knew the cold and the hot by her side, so she wouldn't have to be entangled with Gao Shi. After being reborn, she thought that she still had to find a way to change this matter, but she didn't expect that the eldest cousin's marriage suddenly took shape, and it had nothing to do with her.
Yu Tang regretted that she didn't inquire carefully when her parents mentioned the cousin of the Wei family. So when Yu Wen and Chen Shi came back from Yu Bo's side, Yu Tang couldn't wait to go to his parents' room.
"What does the eldest aunt say?" She sat on the teacher's chair by the window in the inner room and watched Shuangtao help her mother change clothes, "The matchmaker left?"
Mrs. Chen nodded with a smile, and said: "Of course a thousand or ten thousand of your eldest aunts are willing! Miss Wei's cousin has met your uncle before, and I heard from the matchmaker that the cousin There is also a dowry of fifty acres of fertile land."
"Ah!" Yu Tang was very surprised.
Fifty acres of dowry is not a small amount in Jiangnan.
It seems that the cousin's family is better off than the Yu's.
Mrs. Chen changed her clothes, sat down beside Yu Tang with a smile, and said, "When the matchmaker mentioned this, your aunt and I were also taken aback. Your aunt was afraid that others would say Making irresponsible remarks, I was a little hesitant to agree to this marriage. It was your uncle who was decisive and said that he would not be afraid of the shadow if he was upright. Besides, how could your elder brother not be worthy of Miss Wei's Biao? That's how it was done. "Speaking of this, Chen patted Yu Tang's head lightly, and said: "However, our two families will meet each other in two days. Do you want to go and see together?"
Yu Tang was a little surprised, and said, "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Mrs. Chen nodded, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wei means that I want to settle this matter after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Why are you in such a hurry
Yu Tang thought of Yu Yuan's marriage in her previous life, it was because it was arranged too hastily that something went wrong, she couldn't help but said: "Mom, should we visit someone's house. Although you have all met Miss Wei's family, but at that time, after all, your identity It's different, and the understanding is different, to marry a wife, you should look at it according to the requirements of marrying a daughter-in-law."
"You're right." Chen said with a smile, "It's getting late, you should go and have a rest! Tomorrow, your aunt and I will be busy with the Wei family's blind date." The tone was perfunctory, It could be seen that she didn't take Yu Tang's words to heart.
Yu Tang was secretly anxious, hoping that Wei Xiaochuan would find her sooner, and she could also inquire about it.
But until the two families set a date to see each other, Wei Xiaochuan did not come to her.
She became anxious, and occasionally talked about it with Mrs. Chen: "I don't know why the Wei family decided on the marriage so quickly?"
Mrs. Chen obviously knew more than she did. She laughed and said, "The Wei family must be in a hurry! Miss Wei's Biao is three years older than our Young Master Yuan!"
Yu Tang was surprised.
Mrs. Chen said to her in a low voice: "Miss Wei's cousin is surnamed Xiang, and her father is a big landlord in Fuyang. After her biological mother died of illness, Mr. Xiang married the daughter of the Shen family in Hangzhou. It is said that Shen has a very temper. Miss Xiang can't be tolerated. Miss Xiang's father has no choice but to entrust Miss Xiang to Mrs. Wei's upbringing. Although Miss Xiang grew up in Wei's family, the family is not a poor family, and Mrs. Wei is also concerned about Miss Xiang's marriage. I can't make the final decision on my own. Miss Xiang's marriage has been delayed due to repeated visits. I thought about it, this time, in the marriage between Miss Xiang and our Young Master Yuan, in eighty to nine out of ten, it was Mrs. Wei who cut it first and then played it. in such a hurry."
Yu Tang said: "Then do my mother and aunt know?"
"Even I know, how come the wife and eldest wife don't know?" Mrs. Chen glanced at Yu Tang.
It just so happened that Shuangtao came in from the kitchen with a small basket of fresh mustard greens for prunes, and interjected, "In that case, why doesn't Mrs. Wei leave Miss Xiang at home?"
"Why don't you say you little girls are ignorant?" Mrs. Chen ordered Shuangtao to wash the mustard greens in the well water, and said, "Mrs. Wei, who has her own opinions, why doesn't she dare to make decisions for Miss Xiang?" Deciding a husband's house is because this important marriage is not like buying clothes and shoes. You just like it when you look at it. If you don't say anything else, let's say that Mr. Wu next door to us was also a good match with Mrs. Wu in the past. They are a pair that makes people envious, but you can see that over the years, Mr. Wu's business has grown bigger and bigger, but there are also more and more female relatives in the family." She said, lowering her voice: " I heard from the wife of Mr. Wu's family that Mr. Wu has been in Hangzhou these days and raised an actor. Mrs. Wu is afraid that Mr. Wu will have a child, so she is going to pretend to be sick at home to trick Mr. Wu back."
"What else?!" Shuangtao opened her eyes wide.
The topic is all off topic.
Yu Tang smiled.
In her previous life, she felt that Mrs. Chen was talkative and liked to talk about everything, but after being reborn and listening to her nagging, she just felt kind.
Moreover, no matter whether it was Mrs. Chen, Shuangtao, or Ah Shao, they all regarded Yu's family as their own. Mrs. Chen and Shuangtao followed her into Li's house, and Ah Shao was always by Yu Yuan's side. After Yu Yuan was gone, he went to a shop to be a shopkeeper, married a wife, gave birth to a son, and his life was not very well off. He still remembered to visit his aunt, and to visit Yu Yuan’s grave...
Yu Tang's eyes were moist.
Chen's voice sounded in the backyard: "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to buy two sweet-scented osmanthus chickens? I'll take them to my sister-in-law to entertain the matchmaker later."
Mrs. Chen stood up in a panic, wiped her hands with the apron on her body, and hurriedly said, "I'll go right away, I'll go right away!"
Yu Tang laughed haha.
Mrs. Chen frowned and said, "Don't laugh, how are you doing with the handkerchief I asked you to embroider? When your sister-in-law comes in, don't you, sister-in-law, even embroider a piece of handkerchief?" ?”
Yu Tang also ran away in panic.
She met Wei Xiaochuan the day before Yu Yuan met Miss Xiang.
Wei Xiaochuan carried a school basket and leaned against the courtyard wall at the back door of her house dejectedly. When he saw her come out, he greeted her feebly: "Are you here?"
Yu Tang looked at her like his younger brother, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you? Did you get bullied at the county school?"
"No!" He pursed his lips tightly, and it was obvious that he was in a very bad mood, "There is Mr. Shen in the county school, who dares to bully me."
"Then you are..."
"I've already found out." He looked gloomy. "That night, someone saw my second brother and two tall and strong men walking on the ridge of my house. They thought they were my second brother's friends, so they didn't care. But when they left In a town not far from our home, two helpers disappeared. According to them, they were both tall and strong, and they disappeared the day after my second brother passed away. I didn’t dare to check the rest …”
Are you depressed because you didn't dare to check
Yu Tang hugged him in his arms and patted his back lightly.
Wei Xiaochuan struggled for a while but did not break free, his body gradually became soft.
"Tell me, why are those people so bad?" He choked up and said, "It's just a bad marriage. There are many ways. Why do you have to take people's lives?"
Thinking of the "Picture of Fishing for Hidden in Songxi", Yu Tang said sadly: "Some people treat the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. They show greed in front of huge wealth, and they think that everyone else will be like this."
Wei Xiaochuan didn't say anything, but hugged her even tighter.
"Sister," he suddenly changed his address to Yu Tang, "what should we do?"
With their abilities, further investigations will only hurt the clansmen.
Yu Tang sneered, and said, "Respond to all changes with the same."
Wei Xiaochuan was puzzled and looked up at her.
Yu Tang comforted him in a low voice: "They won't just let it go, but in order not to make people suspicious, they will definitely not do the same thing twice. This time, I'll just wait for them to come to the door."
She didn't want the Wei family to get involved in the map matter, so she didn't plan to let Wei Xiaochuan know.
Wei Xiaochuan said: "Sister, what can I do for you?"
She doesn't need Wei Xiaochuan to help her, but Wei Xiaochuan is early-witted and sensitive, she doesn't find something for him to do, she is afraid that he will inadvertently break into the situation she set up, and make the Wei family suspect Wei Xiaoshan's death .
"Help me watch Li Jun." Yu Tang decided to find something for him to do, "If this matter is related to the Li family, there must be something going on with Li Jun."
