suspected wife

In the flower hall, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren chatted happily.

The topic will inevitably talk about the marriage of the children.

Qiao's mother looked at Qiao Mingyu who was sitting under Huang's head, and asked with a smile, "Did Mingyu tell you about others?"

Mrs. Huang glanced at her daughter who was drooping her head and blushing, smiled and said, "Not yet. We lived in Beijing with her grandfather before, and her father and I always wanted her to be like Aunt Lanfen. , married back to Yizhou, so when I was in Beijing, I didn't give her a visit. Thinking that she is not very old, she will be born next year, so don't worry, I didn't expect her grandfather to leave so early..."

As Huang-shi spoke, he stopped talking, and carefully glanced towards Lan-shi.

Mrs. Lan glanced at her, and then said: "It is enough for this grandchildren to stay for one year according to the rules. But Ming Jue is a great-grandson, so he has to stay for three years according to the rules. Besides, we are not in a hurry to get married, so let's get married first. It's okay to settle down and wait for three years to get married."

Huang smiled and nodded.

Qiao Mingjin listened to Mrs. Huang's words just now, and couldn't help but feel the painstaking efforts of the husband and wife for their children.

Qiao Lanfen, Qiao Jingan's sister-in-law's elder sister, married in Yizhou. Now her husband is virtuous, her son is filial, her sister-in-law is harmonious, and she is living a very good life.

As a concubine, Qiao Jing'an only took advantage of the benefits of his family to get a job. If he married his daughter in the capital where there are many nobles, Mingyu would have difficulty living in her husband's family.

Like Aunt Xia, Qiao Jing'an has a long-term vision.Marry the daughter back to the place where the family is located. There are many people in the Qiao family in Yizhou. Mingyu's future husband's family must sell the Qiao family's face.You have to think a little more about what you do, then Mingyu's life in the future will not be difficult.

It's rare that Qiao Jing'an didn't marry his daughter in Beijing like those two people did, taking advantage of certain conveniences.

Qiao Mingjin glanced at Mingyu. This cousin and her mother, the Huang family, are both blessed.

Qiao Jing'an only had the Huang family as a bedside person, and in the end only Mingzhen, Mingshi, and Mingyu had three brothers and sisters, and there were no concubine brothers and sisters.

Qiao Mingjin thought about it for a while, and then heard her grandmother Lan's tone of approval: "You and your husband are very worried, and the decision to marry Mingyu back to Yizhou is also well done. In the future, Mingyu Naturally, I can understand your painstaking efforts."

After speaking, he said to Mingyu: "You have to remember your parents' painstaking efforts. Don't blame them for not marrying you into an official family in Beijing like your uncles."

After hearing this, Mingyu stood up and bowed to Lan Shi, and said in a soft voice: "Granddaughter remembers what grandmother taught to repent."

He bowed to Huang again: "Daughter, thank you parents for taking care of your daughter."

Mrs. Huang hurriedly got up and helped her, and said angrily, "You child, why are you being polite to your parents?"

Although he looked angry, he couldn't hide the satisfaction in his heart.Seeing that the children I raised are so sensible and caring.My heart is naturally very comfortable.

Seeing Mingyu's appearance as a lady, Qiao's mother liked it very much, and couldn't stop praising her.

Now that she returns to her family, she is afraid that she will make a mistake and make a joke, so she is cautious in her words and deeds on weekdays, and always keeps an eye on other people's rules and etiquette.I want to learn from and imitate one or two.

I also always remind my three daughters to stand upright.Sitting in a good position, I am afraid that the children will be affected by her mother who was born in the countryside.

Mrs. Huang was delighted to hear Mother Qiao's praise of her daughter.His mouth was full of humility.He also praised the three Qiao Mingjin sisters who were sitting on the side one by one.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lan said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't brag anymore. This family is always boasting, and they are not afraid that others will hear the joke."

Seeing that Qiao's mother and Huang's family were both a little embarrassed, they said to Huang's family again: "During the year, you take your sister-in-law to walk around more with the clansmen. Apart from Mingyu's marriage, you should also pay attention to which lady is okay. I told Mingjue. Mingjue and I stayed away from Yizhou for too long, and now we are back. I don’t know many people, so please pay more attention to Mingjue’s marriage."

Mother Qiao listened.He also pulled Mrs. Huang to ask for help.

Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Oh, are you still worried about Mingjue's sister-in-law?"

After hearing this, Qiao's mother said, "Why don't you worry? His father and I are very worried about his marriage."

Mrs. Huang laughed after hearing this, and said again: "This Mingjue is the eldest son of the Patriarch of the Qiao family, the eldest son of the Qiao family, the next Patriarch! As long as the word is released, he is going to choose a wife, and he is waiting to be selected The women are not allowed to go to the three streets?"

Qiao Mingjin, Ming Qi and others all laughed when they heard this.Even Mingyu, who was always blushing and shy, raised the corners of her mouth.

Qiao's mother smiled and shook her head, and said, "Your fourth aunt, you don't know that his father and I are worried about his marriage. If we were still in Qingchuan, I would have nothing to worry about. Find a kind and sensible woman That's it. But this is Yizhou. He has the reputation of being the eldest son, but he is only a white man. I'm afraid he can't be called a good family. Besides, her fourth aunt also knows me, and I don't know anything about common affairs. Yes, I don't ask for anything else, I don't even look at family background, I just want to find a daughter-in-law who knows how to read the books and can manage the family. "

How could Mrs. Huang not know what Qiao Yun was thinking?

These days, she and her three sisters-in-law Zhang, Xiaofang, and Yang have often come to the ancestral house to help the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law take care of the New Year's affairs.

It would be really embarrassing for the Qiao Yun family to take over such a large general affairs of the Qiao family, such as regular family affairs and clan affairs.

After hearing Mother Qiao's words, Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Auntie, what does it matter if Mingjue is only white now? It's not always white. Even if he is white all his life, with his status as the eldest son of the Qiao family , is he worried that he won't be able to marry a lady from a good family?"

Weren't the great-grandparents of the children back then also white people?Isn't there still a bunch of people waiting to marry in?

I don't know why Fang Shi was chosen after picking and picking.In the end, the Fang family forced the Lan family to take the eldest son to go to another country.Otherwise, how could this family look like it is now?

Even if his uncle is only a scholar in the end, Qiao Yun's status probably won't marry him.

Now that she has been with Qiao Yunshi for so long, she really likes this sister-in-law from the countryside.With such sisters-in-law, why worry about family disharmony?

At this time, I saw that my aunt Lan was also looking pensive, and she must have been worried about Mingjue's marriage, so she said with a smile: "Mother and sister-in-law don't have to worry. I heard from the child's father that the gentleman in the ethnology school is very concerned about Mingjue's marriage. But it is very important. Presumably next year's autumn, Mingjue will definitely be able to gain something. Besides, with our family's identity, Mingjue's marriage really doesn't have to worry about it."

Seeing Qiao's mother looking at her, she went on to say, "Sister-in-law doesn't know, our Yizhou has a very good atmosphere. Not to mention that men have to be enlightened since they were young, and women have to go to women's schools to read and write since they were young. The women's school not only teaches how to read and write, but also teaches manners, etiquette, accounts, family members...isn't it easy for a sister-in-law to choose a daughter-in-law who is knowledgeable and capable of managing the family? Let's talk about it Jue is going to choose the future clan wife. It is also a good thing that a daughter of a clan wife is born in a family. If there is a daughter of the right age in the family, how about asking someone to talk about it early? Why do big brothers and sisters-in-law need to worry? "

After hearing this, Mother Qiao felt a little worried.

And the Lan family knows the reading atmosphere in Yizhou.Regardless of rich or poor, as long as a family has children, even if they want to eat bran swallowed vegetables, they must provide for the children in the family to go to school.

She also entered the girls' school at the age of six.And before that, she had also been enlightened early at home.

Lan smiled and said to Huang: "Your sister-in-law just came to Yizhou, but she doesn't know many people. You have to lead your sister-in-law to get closer to the acquaintances during the year, so you can ask them to help you pay more attention. And her Aunt Lan Fen, Lan Fen married in Yizhou, she must have known many people, and asked her to help Ming Jue pay attention."

After hearing this, Mrs. Huang replied: "Yes, mother, don't worry."

Qiao Mingjin smiled and said after listening, "Fourth Aunt, when you take my mother and relatives around during the year, you only need to talk about the tranquility in the backyard of our two families, and also say that my younger brother has never bothered to deal with those troublesome things since he was a child." and he likes to live the simple life the most, as long as it spreads the word..."

After hearing this, Huang's eyes lit up: "Really? Can you be Ming Jue's master?"

Qiao Mingjin laughed and said, "I don't dare to be his master. It's just that I understand his nature better. Besides, my father, mother and grandmother can be his masters."

Seeing Lan looking at her with a smile on her face, Mrs. Qiao was still in a daze at first, and it took her a while to reflect.

After thinking about it, he hurriedly nodded to Mrs. Huang: "I can make the decision, I can! Not to mention the hardships his grandmother and his father suffered, even his sister also suffered from the concubine's room. My father and I have thought about peace now. In the future, Ming Jue and Ming Heng and his father and I will not allow them to take concubines. Although I don't understand those principles, I also know that concubines are the root cause of family chaos, and one wife is enough for ordinary people. Simpler is better than nothing."

After hearing this, Mrs. Huang couldn't help but think highly of Qiao Yun's.

If rumors are released, Ming Jue will not take concubines in the future, I am afraid that all the families and clans in Yizhou who are officials in other places will be busy marrying their daughters back.

Then he smiled and said to Lan's and Qiao's mother: "Mother and sister-in-law, don't worry. With this, what are you worried about? It's all on me. I promise to inquire about all the unmarried ladies of the right age in Yizhou." .”

Lan Shi smiled and said to her: "Then I will entrust everything to you."

"Mother, don't worry."

And Mingyu, who was sitting on the side of Huang's, was thoughtful when she heard these words.

Qiao Mingjin shook her head and smiled wryly when she saw this, hoping that it wouldn't affect this cousin's idea of ​​choosing a relative.

Nowadays, it is hard to find a man who is willing to marry only one wife and match everything with his family.

Nowadays, after all, most people still think that taking a concubine is a very common thing.Scholars also regard taking concubines as elegant.I am afraid that there are not many families like theirs who have status, small wealth, and are willing to live a quiet life...
