The Ren family and the Han family are now like Lang Youqing, concubine intentional. The two sides have reached a tacit agreement on the matter of marriage. If there is no accident, they will soon exchange tokens with each other to settle the marriage.
And the first person who couldn't hold back and jumped out was Ren Yaoting from Dongfu.
On the second day of the Han family's visit, Mrs. Liao, an old lady from Dongfu, came over.
Mrs. Liao came quite early. At that time, the juniors from each room in the West Palace had just invited Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Ren from Ronghuayuan to leave An Zheng, and the concierge came over and reported that Mrs. Liao had brought Seventh Miss.
The Ren family is not divided, and the Ren family's east and west houses are actually one mansion. Although there is a long wall of flowers between the east and west houses, there is a hole in the wall. However, Mrs. Liao never passed through the flower wall when she came to the West Mansion. She insisted on going to the main entrance in a serious manner, and even sent the concierge to report.
Liao Shi and Qiu Shi did not get along when they were young, and the two went back and forth for countless rounds. When the previous head of the Ren family, Bao Ming, was still alive, because the old man paid the most attention to the order of elders and children, no matter how the two of them fought, as long as they went to the elders, it would be wrong for the Liao family. The father-in-law was very dissatisfied.
When Ren Baoming died, he had a legacy, the big room and the second room were not separated. Liao's promise was good in front of the bed, and when the father-in-law passed the first seven, he found an excuse to have a big fight with Qiu. Then he took his son to the West Garden separated by a flower wall. Although she didn't say anything about separation, the two houses have lived separately for so many years. Except for the big house, a monthly payment is allocated to Dongfu to maintain the lives of everyone in the Dongfu.
And Liao also insisted that people from the East Palace must go through the gate when they come to the West Palace, and they are not allowed to pass through the flower wall between the two houses. The second grandfather of the Ren family is not in Yanbei all the year round, and he wrote to her several times to no avail.
The old man here in the West House could only make a fuss when he saw her, so he let her go. Anyway, this house is big, and it was originally divided into East Palace and West Palace, so there is no need to remodel the courtyard. On the contrary, the separation of the Liao family and the Qiu family made the Ren family much cleaner.
When the juniors of the Ren family saw Mrs. Liao coming, they greeted her with salutes. With a polite smile on Mrs. Qiu's face, "Why are you free today?"
Although Mr. Liao was from Yanbei, he was not tall, and he was a little fat. He looked a little rich. Hearing Mrs. Qiu's words, Mrs. Liao also had a smile on his face, and then he first greeted Mr. Ren and called uncle. .
"You haven't eaten yet? The eldest daughter-in-law, come over with two more sets of tableware." Mrs. Qiu explained to her daughter-in-law, and seeing that Mrs. Liao did not refuse, she said to Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin, "You will go back to your own today. Eat in your own yard."
Mrs Liao swept Ren Yaohua's eyes, nodded and said, "I'm here today to discuss something with my brother and sister-in-law. It's better if they leave first. Ting'er, you go out first."
Ren Yaoting had been quietly following behind Mrs Liao, and when Ren Yaohua passed by her, she looked over, and the coldness in her eyes made people palpitate.
Hearing Mrs Liao's words, she replied in a low voice, followed behind everyone and walked out.
"Third sister, I have something to tell you." Ren Yaoting stopped Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaohua felt Ren Yaoting's hostility before, and she vaguely understood why. However, she herself is not a good-natured person, so she felt irritated when she heard Ren Yaoting's words, and replied coldly: "I have to go back to eat first, and I will talk about anything when I have time."
After speaking, he walked away without looking back.
Ren Yaoting stared at her back tightly, his lower lip turned white from his bite.
After waiting for the other people to leave, Mrs Liao sat down and said, "I remember that my uncle once accused me righteously and sternly that the Ren family is not divided?"
"Brother and sister, what do you mean?" Mr. Ren frowned and said in surprise, a little confused as to why Mrs Liao would bring up the old thing again.
Liao sneered slightly: "Since there is no separation, why don't we Dongfu know about the fact that the Han family and the Ren family are going to get married? I heard that the Ren family will also partner with the Han family to run a salt farm? Oh, is it a good thing? It's just your West Palace business?"
When the old man heard this, he shook his head helplessly: "I wrote a letter to inform the second brother about the salt field, and he also agreed. Since the big room and the second room are not separated, then no matter how the Ren family benefits, it is the two rooms. For the common interests, this remark of the younger brother and sister is really unreasonable. As for the marriage of the Ren and Han families, it is just that the two families have this plan, and it has not yet been finalized. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Liao was a little unhappy: "I'm making trouble unreasonably? Well, if that's the case, we also have girls of the right age in the Dongfu. Since you insist on the Dongfu family, it doesn't make any difference whether you marry the Dongfu or the Xifu. Let's marry the girl from Dongfu."
Saying that, Mrs. Liao glanced at Mrs. Qiu: "In those days, your eldest sister got a good relationship with the Gu family, and then the second sister also married into the Yan family in the capital. The eldest grandson of the Dongfu has ended up with such a poor family, then The girl is still very tough. If it weren't for the fact that something happened one after another before she even came to the house, I would have been kept in the dark. I don't need you to explain this matter to me, but the Han family, a pro-Western mansion, must Let us."
Mrs. Qiu endured it for a long time, and when she heard this, her liver hurt a little, she couldn't help but said, "When I married the Gu family, was there a girl of the right age in the West House? Could it be that the second young master of the Gu family waited for seven years and eight years? Will we get married again in the next year? As for the family of the Yan family, didn’t the second brother come back with a letter and begged me to give Yaoqin to someone to fill the house? In the past few years, the second brother and Ching Ching have been living smoothly in the capital, Isn't there the support of the Yan family? We also consulted the second brother and you before deciding on Yilin's marriage. Why didn't you stand up and oppose it at that time? Before the Liu family had an accident, who would have expected the Liu family's marriage? Is the girl such a fate? Brother and sister, you have to be careful when you say injustice."
Mrs Liao curled her lips when she heard the words. She was unwilling to be refuted by Mrs. Qiu, but she couldn't think of anything to refute for the time being.
Mr. Ren knew the temperament of these two people, and knew that they couldn't let them quarrel anymore, otherwise it would be endless, so he stood up and smoothed out: "Okay, let's talk less."
He said sternly: "The marriage between the Han family and the Ren family was first mentioned by the Han family. The old man Han and the wife of the Han family were Yaohua who were interested in them from the beginning. And only Yaohua and Yaoyin were the most suitable age for the young master of the Han family. As for Yao Ting's marriage, I will keep it in my heart, and I will not wrong her at that time. They are all girls from the Ren family, and I will not favor one over the other. "
Mrs. Liao came here today because she heard some old ladies in the granddaughter's yard talking about the marriages of several young masters and young ladies in the East and West, and any good marriages were taken up by the West. Maybe not even soup. He also said how rich the Han family is, and how the young master of the Han family is so good. Obviously, there are suitable girls in the East Mansion, but the West Mansion is about to get engaged without even asking.
After listening to Liao Shi, he couldn't fall asleep.
She is not a very shrewd person, but she has been in conflict with the Qiu family in her whole life. Everything else is easy to say, but I can't see the Qiu family being proud of her, and I can't bear to take advantage of the Qiu family more than her.
Therefore, after the death of the previous head of the Ren family, she also knew that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiu family was in charge of the backyard of the Ren family, so she did everything possible to draw a clear line with the people in the big house, but she didn't want to live with the expression on Qiu's face.
After listening to Mr. Ren's words, Mrs Liao sneered: "Who can know what will happen in the future? I'm not so easy to fool."
Seeing that she was not good enough, the old man could only say with a good temper: "What do you think about the younger brother and sister? The marriage of the Han family can't be our own words. The Han family's favorite candidate is indeed the third girl."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liao looked at Mrs. Qiu, who turned her head away. After thinking for a while, her heart moved, and she said with a smile, "I don't have to marry the Han family. I know that there is a young master in the Yun family. In our Ren family, the Yun family may not have no intention of marrying our Ren family, and the old lady and sister-in-law of the Yun family are cousins... If it is true that you have no selfishness as the uncle said, then you might as well think of a way to make our Dongfu and the Yun family come together. relatives?"
Hearing this, Mr. Qiu couldn't help but sneer, this abacus was a good one. She was about to speak, but the old man came over with an eye, and Qiu gritted his teeth before turning his head away as if he didn't hear it.
Mr. Ren said gently to Mrs. Liao, "I will carefully consider what my younger brother and sister said. If the Yun family really has this intention at that time, it will be the same whether a girl from the East mansion or a girl from the West mansion gets married. "
Mr. Liao looked at Mrs. Qiu, who was clearly annoyed, and said with a smile, "Is what Uncle said true?"
Mr. Ren's face was stern: "Can I speak the vernacular?"
Mrs Liao smiled: "Naturally there is none. It would be better for the uncle to give me an accurate statement today. If the marriage of the Han family cannot be given to us in the West Palace, then if the Ren family wants to discuss marriage with the Yun family in the future, we can only have our West Palace. The girl married, how about it?"
"Aren't you being unreasonable?" Qiu Shi said angrily.
But Mr. Ren waved his hand: "This matter is settled."
Mr. Qiu was so angry that his heart became stuffy, and he almost passed out.
However, Mrs Liao smiled, no longer messing around, and stood up cheerfully: "In that case, I won't disturb your meal."
After Mr. Liao left, Mrs. Qiu, who was still trembling with anger, calmed the anger on her face and immediately became calm and relaxed.
The old man looked at her in surprise.
Qiu shi instructed the maids to make the meal hot, and said, "I can't understand her temperament best, isn't it because I can't be proud of her? If I don't let her get angry, she won't leave. "
Mrs. Qiu felt a little disdain in her heart. Mrs. Liao's mind couldn't even handle her own daughter-in-law, and she was only worthy of being used as a gunman. She never cared about Mrs Liao at all.
As for the marriage of the Yun family, there is still no word on it. Even if there is such a word in the future, she will not agree to the things that Mr. Ren promised.
