Four hundred and eightieth chapters sets
Yang only felt that his back was gradually forgiven, and his face turned pale a little. He thought he was far away from home and outsiders would not know many things, but now Mrs. Chen said that these things seemed to be well known to everyone in Yancheng.
Mrs. Chen observed the changes on Yang's face and felt secretly disdainful. Seeing Yang's conversation, she had studied. She was not from a small family, but she had little knowledge from a small place.
Yancheng is not a small place with complex interpersonal relationships. When a wealthy family gets married, he is even more cautious. Some even observe it for several years before making a reservation. Not only does it require the girl to be a good person, but also depends on the other party’s family and relatives. The higher the family, the more particular they are, the more particular these are.
No matter how good a girl is, there are a bunch of unrestrained relatives in the family, and others are unwilling to marry them, so as not to have to socialize these relatives all day long.
If there is a family in close relatives that have a rift from this family, such as the eldest son and daughter-in-law's family, and if there is a disagreement between the two families, the family members of the two families will be encouraged to disagree all day long, and they will definitely have housework and will naturally not be able to marry.
Of course, if these are developed with the family, the future of men will be far behind. If they can greatly help men's future, they will work hard for ten years and all problems can be far behind.
Mrs. Chen started out as a random matchmaker, took on good relationships, etc., but after finding out the relationship between Zhou family members, she felt that this matter was very good.
She and the eldest wife of the Li family were cousins. They knew that the eldest wife of the Li family was worried about her husband's career and her son's marriage.
The Zhou family is a bit lower than the Li family, but the Zhou family has a noble in-laws and a more noble turning point. Being able to get married will be of great help to the future development of the Li family men.
But after careful investigation, I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. This time, the girl from the Zhou family had divorced from others, and there were always some taboos in the wealthy families. Besides, the relatives of the Zhou family are noble, but the Zhou family is not very good. The in-laws say that they are not far away. They say that they are close but not close. If they marry the Zhou family girl and those relatives don't help, wouldn't it be a dream?
So after she discussed it carefully with the eldest wife of the Li family, she felt that it would be much more cost-effective if she could get the benefits first and then get married. She could not raise this matter in a hurry. She had to make Yang anxious first, and then slowly put forward the conditions.
After she proposed it, Mrs. Chen also specifically reminded Yang that she was just a messenger and that she would not make enemies even if she could not get married. If this matter was not done, just pretend that she had never said it and must not say it out.
Of course, Yang is not a tongue-in-law, let’s talk about it. She knows everything about her daughter being resigned from marriage. She also wants to ask others not to tell her about it.
Back home.
Yang thought about it carefully for a long time. After all, he felt that it was not easy to talk to Meng Yan about things like seeking an official position. Even if he spoke with shamelessness, Meng Yan might not necessarily help. Instead, he would mock him.
But she was reluctant to give up.
After thinking about it, I came up with a way to ask Meng Yan to go back to her parents' home to inquire about the character of the young master of the Li family. After that, I asked the Meng family to help me, and things would be much easier.
The Meng family comes forward to imply that the other party, and the Meng family will help, and maybe there is room for things to be returned.
After making up his mind, Yang found an opportunity to mention this matter to Meng Yan, and only skipped the conditions proposed by Mrs. Chen, saying that a matchmaker told Zhou Caier about a family, but they were not familiar with the place in Yancheng, and they didn't know what the other person's character was. Please ask Meng Yan to help inquire.
Meng Yan felt a little disdainful. What a matchmaker? Isn’t it just that Yang’s visits and sells her daughter all day long, and she loses her face. Fortunately, Yang is not her serious mother-in-law, and she doesn’t plan to stay in Yancheng for a long time. Just forget about the little rumors, Yang will do whatever he wants.
But at this moment, Yang made a request to her angrily, but he could not refuse it at once, so he could only respond.
Meng Yan led Meng Nian back to her parents' home. When she saw her mother, she asked her mother for peace and asked Meng Nian to go to the back garden to play.
Then he closed the door and whispered to his mother.
Mrs. Meng was a little surprised when she heard that Yang said she was close to her family.
Isn’t this the Li family of the Guo County Prince’s Mansion? Speaking of this family, she doesn’t need to inquire anymore. She is not unfamiliar with it because she wanted to marry Li’s daughter at the beginning, so she naturally had to figure out the details of the other party, including Li’s family.
Speaking of this, Mr. Li is really fine. His family background is good, his character and talent are not outstanding, but he is still able to live a good life. Only the eldest wife of the Li family is a little shrewd and very good at calculating. Whose daughter wants to marry her will not be easy.
However, the eldest wife of the Li family is so good at calculating. How could she think of the Zhou family's family's family's family's family last year? What's more, there is another very important reason.
Mrs. Meng immediately lowered her voice and said to Meng Yan: "Yan'er, do the Li family know that your sister-in-law has been divorced?"
"I don't know this." Meng Yan wouldn't be so stupid as to go to the bottom of the matter. If you ask a question, what should she do if you ask her for help? Just don't ask, and it's okay.
"Is the Zhou family hiding it?" Mrs. Meng seemed to be asking Meng Yan, and seemed to be talking to herself.
Meng Yan said: "What's the matter? Maybe the Li family doesn't know that the second sister has also divorced someone... This is a trivial matter."
"How can this be the same? How many people in the world are as lucky as your second sister?" Mrs. Meng was not good at telling Meng Yan that her second sister must have known Prince Ding before, and privately taught her to receive them. She could only be vague. "This is more or less taboo for ordinary people. Your mother-in-law Yang is just here and there are not many people. How could anyone tell her such a marriage?"
"Mother, is this marriage inappropriate?" Meng Yan did not react for a moment.
"It's not... it's just too appropriate." Mrs. Meng simply told her daughter directly, "Under the Zhou family's conditions, the eldest lady of the Li family should look down on her. The young master of the Li family doesn't seem to have any problems. Even if there is any problem, a while ago, I...oh, someone from my parents asked me to inquire about the Li family and wanted to marry the daughter of the Li family. By the way, I asked Mr. Li. I didn't hear any problems. There was no need to be too low."
Meng Yan thought about it and guessed: "Is there something wrong with outsiders who can't find out easily, so they want to marry a girl from another place? A girl from another place, and her parents' home is not here, so what can I support her?"
"It's not a big deal." Mrs. Meng shook her head. Even if she married a girl from another place, it wouldn't be the turn of Zhou's family.
The mother and daughter discussed for a while and felt that this was hard to say.
Neither I doubt that the Li family’s son has something wrong, nor can I guarantee that the Li family’s son is absolutely fine. This is a good marriage.
Since the mother and daughter discussed the results of the discussion, they could not be completely defeated, so they had to magnify the only problem they knew, which was the affairs of the eldest wife of the Li family, not that the eldest wife of the Li family was not good, but that it was a bit difficult to serve.
This Zhou Caier obviously did not accept it. I think she would not be happy to have such a mother-in-law.
Meng Yan returned home, took a little rest, calmed down and thought about how to reply, and then went to Yang's house.
Yang knew that Meng Yan had been back to her parents' home. She had been waiting in the morning, so she couldn't ask Meng Yan directly what was going on. As usual, she had a few words of concern and asked about her mother's body. She found an opportunity to ask Meng Yan again.
Meng Yan knew that Yang must have been anxious to know the result, and did not irritate Yang's appetite. After a few words, she said, "Mother-in-law, what you asked me to inquire about, my mother happened to know the eldest wife of the Li family. I didn't find out for a while, the only thing I knew was that the eldest wife of the Li family... seemed a bit harsh. The Li family looked like a good family, but the eldest wife of the Li family was too strict. If Cai'er really got married, she would be wronged."
"The mistress of this wealthy family naturally cannot be soft-hearted." Yang smiled dryly. Even if Meng Yan didn't say it, she could guess that the eldest lady of the Li family was naturally a calculating person. But because of her ability to calculating, if she relied on her daughter to find an official position for her father-in-law, would her mother-in-law still be tough in front of her daughter in the future?
So it’s okay. Any mother-in-law is roughly not much different. If you marry into another family, you may not have any bad things.
Yang was fascinated by the title of the young master of the Li family and the young master of the aristocratic family.
Thinking about it, the Li family is many times higher than the Quan family before. Mrs. Chen described that the young master of the Li family is also a handsome talent, and I think it would be fine. If you want to find a good family background, where can you find a handsome young man?
Speaking of which, it was influenced by Quan Yaobei before. Although Caier was unhappy to marry into the Quan family and suffer poverty, if she found someone who looked too different from Quan Yaobei for the rest of her life, Caier would not be happy.
Therefore, Yang took a more fondness for the Li family's marriage.
"Yan'er, mother-in-law, I'll tell you what you mean, your sister Cai'er..." Yang sighed long, with a look of worry on her face, "She's in a bad mood recently and has been shaking you from time to time. Don't take it to heart. She still knows your goodness in her heart. She also knows that she was wrong about the last time. But the little girl's house can't erase her face. You can take more responsibility and help more."
Faced with Yang's begging expression, Meng Yan couldn't say anything. After thinking for a long time, she said: "Mother, Sister Caier is young, I won't care about her. But then, we are a family, Sister Caier's temperament... I think the Li family seems to be inappropriate. Should I find someone who is more suitable for mother-in-law and sister-in-law?"
"Your sister Caier's temperament needs a serious person to take care of." Yang sighed, "If you are a soft-hearted person, you will spoil your sister Caier. It's all my fault. I was a daughter in my early years and I was too spoiled."
Meng Yan couldn't speak.
I couldn't say anything earlier.
I had to do it perfunctorily and promised to inquire carefully in a few days. After all, I couldn't find out some things for a while.
On the other side, Mrs. Meng helped and asked Mrs. Quan Si to help me find out about the Li family. However, Mrs. Quan Si was still with Mr. Quan San, so it was not good to directly intervene in this matter. She was still asking around and could not tell others that she was looking at Zhou Caier.
Mrs. Quan Si just has a way than others. She can find out what others cannot inquire about.
After inquiring, I told Mrs. Meng.
In fact, the eldest wife of the Li family has always been worried about her husband's future.
Originally, the Master of the Li family has worked diligently in the past few years and has a little experience. He has a legitimate marriage like the Prince of Guo’s Mansion. He could have gone up one step further, but he was unlucky and was implicated by the Jingshi Li who fell a few days ago.
It's really a bit unlucky to say that. Although the Li family and the Censor Li both have the surname Li, the Li family has a big surname. There are probably two of the ten people on the street. The two of them are not even able to fight with each other and have no relationship.
But when you are both in the court, you are naturally kind to others. The same surname is Li. The master of the Li family called Censor Li the brother, and Censor Li politely said that he was brother.
In just one sentence, in the court, many officials called each other by their elder brothers when they met, showing intimacy or being polite, which would not mean anything at all.
The Li family master did not get any advantage from Censor Li just by saying "Brother", but Censor Li was in trouble, so some people would like to use this matter as an example.
If he is just a free official and cannot hinder others, others will at most mutter behind his back, and it will pass after a while. But the position he is looking for is also considered fat and short. At a critical moment, someone will talk about it and find a connection to him, and forcefully suppress his shortage.
The Master of the Li family was not convinced, and Mrs. Li was also a very arrogant person.
However, although there are several noble relatives, they can't speak for various reasons. For example, Mr. Li's sister, Li married into the Guojun Prince's Mansion. The Guojun Prince was also implicated because of the affairs of Censor Li. It was too late to avoid suspicion. How could he get involved in this matter again? Even if he could get involved, the character of the Guojun Prince and his wife would not help for no reason.
Li and Princess Guo have never dealt with each other very much. If the old concubine Xue is willing, she can help. The problem is that the old concubine Xue is old and she can't worry about her own major issues. Li helped her to mention a few words, but the old concubine Xue refused.
There was no way, but the Li family's husband and wife became less convinced the more they thought about it. They thought of having an excellent son, who wanted to form a powerful in-laws and help them get angry, so as to find a backer for their son, so as not to work hard and no one could help them, and all the credits would be collected.
Mrs. Meng couldn't figure out what the relationship between the master and his wife of the Li family had to climb high and the Zhou family, and the Zhou family was not a prominent family.
It was still Mrs. Quan Si’s words that woke up the dreamer. The Zhou family is not a noble family, but the Zhou family has noble relatives.
Think about it again, if someone really wants to marry the Zhou family, if Yang is really optimistic, why should I ask them to inquire about it? It is necessary to ask Zhou Juren to inquire about the young master of the Li family? Zhou Juren has several friends in Yancheng. It is more convenient for men to inquire about men, so why should I ask women to inquire about them?
