Chapter 19: The Daughter-in-law

The reason why I want to move to the garden is because of the influence of the large view garden, a man and a group of women live together, and the dream is also! The second is to be bored because of the grounding, and find one thing to do for yourself.

Just as Xu Hao was busy exploring around the garden, this matter was like a pair of invisible wings, and it quickly spread to the ears of the Xu family.

Fushouju, Xu Cuitao and Xu Luzhu told the old lady that they also wanted to move to the garden, probably because young people yearn for liveliness and freedom, and the days on weekdays are really boring and tight, so they are very positive.

I didn't want the old lady to veto, so she shook her head and said, "They are messing around, and you two can't do it." ”

β€œweishenmeοΌŸβ€ Xu Luzhu was younger and liked to be lively, and he was very disappointed.

The old lady smiled and said to them kindly: "Cui Tao will be engaged in the coming year, and you must learn the rules and etiquette during this time, and prepare a dowry." So I want to let Cui Tao come and live with my grandmother, but my grandmother is reluctant to let her, so she has to have a companion alone, and you will accompany Luzhu. ”

Xu Cuitao was surprised and happy at the moment, she was embarrassed to ask directly who her future husband was, and pretended to be shy and lowered her head.

"Whose house?" Own green bamboo stepped forward.

"Naturally, I won't be wronged by Cui Tao." The old lady smiled and pretended to be mysterious, and said a little sadly: "Finally, it's time for you to grow up and get married." Alas, I am already old, and I am content to see the beautiful wedding of a granddaughter with my own eyes. ”

"Grandmother is talking nonsense, you are obviously not old." Xu Luzhu obediently lay into the old lady's arms.

In the two-room flower hall, Wang said to Xiao with a spring breeze on his face: "In the coming year, I will be busy with the wedding, and I will repair the courtyard for the newlyweds, and I will ask for the dowry of Luo Cuitao's girl, and there are a lot of messy trivial things, which is a headache." I heard that Qinglian and Hongye are going to move to the garden, and I am entangled in everything, so I just asked Cuiyun Cuiliu to move over too, please ask my sister to help take care of it, sister-in-law, I am grateful. ”

"Congratulations to my sister-in-law." Xiao Shi smiled again: "The family doesn't talk to each other, just come over the two girls, if there is anything you need to use me, sister-in-law, you can instruct someone to order, you don't have to run by yourself." ”

Wang's heart was proud, but he didn't see his younger siblings to inquire about where the future in-laws were sacred, and it was itchy and hard to scratch, and after a long time, Xiao still didn't ask, she couldn't help but say: "Qinglian is also older, what are my sister's plans?" ”

Xiao Shi smiled: "Hao'er said that girls are not good at getting married under the age of twenty, what are a lot of strange things about psychology and physiology, I think it makes some sense, I think it makes sense with the old lady, I want to discuss it with the old lady, first find a good family to get married, and wait for two years to get married." ”

"Not really." Wang clapped his palms and said, "When we got married in the early years, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, the suffering is still vivid. There is also the eldest sister in the house, who fell ill because she was too young to give birth, and she was riddled with pain, and the old lady still regrets it, so she has not given the second uncle a good face for several years, so she raised Qinglian and Cuitao to the age of seventeen, just for fear of repeating the mistake. ”

"Second uncle, his old man, there is no way, who dares to disobey the holy decree?" Xiao Shi sighed and smiled again, "Fortunately, although our family is not rich, the marriage of our children is reasonable and reasonable by the old lady, which can be regarded as a fortunate thing." ”

"Hmm." Wang nodded in agreement, and whispered with a smile: "You don't want to know who you are marrying against, Hehe!" ”

Xiao Shi sighed faintly in his heart, and said with joy on his face: "How can you and the old lady's thoughts be hidden from me?" Tell me, which prince is it? ”

"Haha, no wonder the old lady said that you are a monkey spirit, I really can't hide it from you." Wang laughed for a while, and leaned over mysteriously, "It's the prince and county lord of the Qin family, this matter should not be publicized, my sister has to keep her mouth." ”

"King Qin?" Xiao Shi was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Cui Tao is going to marry and be the concubine of the prince?" God. ”

"You." Wang glanced at her, "I'm not angry with you, Cui Tao's title is the second concubine, this is still in the face of King Yan and the second uncle, anyway, I'm content." As for the county lord of Pucheng who married, she is the eldest sister of the concubine. ”

"The second concubine is also a great joy, which is really the envy of my sister." The Xiao family is telling the truth, but who made Cui Tao the daughter of the long house, this point is incomparable to Qinglian in any case.

The Wang family finally ushered in Xiao's envy, and left with a satisfied farewell, Xiao sat alone in the flower hall, frowning and thinking hard, she was naturally unwilling to be far surpassed by her sister-in-law.

Xu Hao came in from outside, Xiao Shi looked at his son's Youzai appearance, and suddenly became angry: "If you behave that day, you don't need to be a dwarf at the moment." ”

Xu Hao looked at the old lady's face and asked, "Mother, come and listen, even if you beat me and scold me, you have to make it clear." ”

Xiao sighed, told the marriage as it was, and said: "I inquired, the person sitting in the boat that day was the Pucheng county lord of the Qin family, although she was a concubine, she was the eldest sister, and her dignity was not much worse than that of her concubine!" I didn't expect her to marry into our family, if you have a good performance that day, maybe the county lord will fall in love with you, it's a pity. ”

"You think too much, I'm not the eldest grandson of the long house, I'm just accompanying the prince to study." Xu Hao said that Xiao felt strange, he would definitely not feel any surprise, if Zhu Di, the king of Yan, did not have this long-term vision, he would not dare to raise troops to fight for the throne in a small corner.

Marriage has been the simplest and most effective means for powerful people to form alliances with each other since ancient times, but it seems that King Yan doesn't particularly care about King Qin, or he doesn't want to attract too much attention, otherwise the best marriage partner should be Xu Da's own grandson.

Marrying a daughter and marrying a daughter, this time the Xu family seems to have taken a big advantage, with the identity of the dignified King of Qin, the dowry is naturally rich, it can be said that it is both human and financial, and it is undoubtedly the second grandfather Xu Da who secretly contributes to this.

Just thinking about it casually, you can feel the complexity of this marriage, Xu Hao shuddered a little, who made his associations too rich, and he could imagine a bunch of conspiracies casually.

He didn't know what the end of King Qin would be, so he said to the Xiao family: "Mother, children are not tools for parents to cling to power, even if they can't compare to others, what can they do?" Is face more important or is the lifelong happiness of children more important? There are many rights and wrongs in a big family, not to mention a wealthy family, I would rather my eldest sister marry an ordinary person who loves her and spoils her, and a happy life is more important than anything else. ”

Xiao shook his head and said, "The words of a child." The children of the poor may not be reliable, some are people who like the new and hate the old, wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, who know people and faces, but do not know their hearts, how dare you guarantee that your sister will be happy after marrying? In contrast, it is most appropriate to be the right person, at least being snubbed by her husband can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing. ”

"That's right." Xu Hao agrees with this point of view, pity the parents of the world, he is not a hot-blooded young man who yearns for aiqing anymore, although Xiao's point of view is certainly not absolutely correct, but it does represent the most secure mate selection standard represented by the life wisdom and experience of his parents as a person who has come over.

Xiao's mood was better than what his son said solemnly, and he changed his words and said with a smile: "Then what kind of daughter-in-law does my son want to marry?" Let's listen to it, let my mother see and understand. ”

Xu Hao was stunned, raised his hand and touched his head, looked at the sky with his eyes, and said: "Beautiful, sensible, gentle, cute, not jealous, sensible, considerate, kind-hearted but not pedantic, wise but not pretentious." Filial piety to the elders, friendship with relatives, do not blindly spoil children, know pain and heat, and if you are right, you must have knowledge, talent, good financial management, and communication. ”

"Stop, stop." Xiao Shi was dizzy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Oh my God, you just marry a fairy." ”

Xu Hao said yearningly: "That's fine." ”

"Dream about it." Xiao Shi glared angrily and amusedly, "your eggs, it's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat." If you don't give the old lady a long face, I'll marry you an ugly daughter-in-law in the morning. ”
