suspected wife

Not a few days after Mrs. Wu, the head wife of the Zhou mansion, visited the mansion last week, Mrs. Lan also brought Qiao's mother and sister Qiao Mingjin to visit the mansion last week.

The entire Zhou family extended a great welcome to their family's visit.Except for Mrs. Zhou who was bedridden, everyone went to the second door to greet her.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lan family were in the Zhou Mansion, so they also met the eldest aunt of the Zhou Mansion, Zhao Ling's biological mother, who had returned home to visit her mother.

Zhao Ling's mother, Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Wu sat together. Apart from the same wealth, they also had a coercion that Mrs. Wu did not have.That is the innate sense of superiority brought out by officials and eunuchs.

Mother Qiao naturally saw the gap between the two families, and chatted with Wu and the others, but stopped asking about Zhao Ling.

After returning from Zhou Mansion, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out frequently.

The new year has passed, and in a few months, after summer, Qiao Xingcun's filial piety will be full.It would be best if Mingjue's marriage can be settled before then, and if he gets fame after participating in Qiuwei, he will be admitted to the imperial examination just in time.

For Ming Jue's marriage, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stayed away from home every day, and even met a lot of official and private media in Yizhou, and all relatives and acquaintances recommended suitable candidates one after another.

Apart from the fact that he is only a scholar with a slightly lower reputation, Ming Jue is really the most sought-after candidate for fiancée and son-in-law.

Not only is he handsome, but he is also a good-looking talent. He is well-read, has a promising future, and is the next head of the Qiao family.Furthermore, before the death of the previous Patriarch of the Qiao family, many people in Yizhou knew about the fact that the former head of the Qiao family divided the family property and left most of the property to the eldest son.

And Qiao Jingkun only had two legitimate sons, Ming Jue and Ming Heng, and there were no concubines in the family to grab the property.The backyard is also quiet and quiet. Isn't most of the family property left to the eldest son in the future?

Besides, the Qiao family has announced that Ming Jue will take concubines only when he is forty and childless.After receiving such news, how can people in Yizhou City who have a girl to be married not be moved?

Not only Lan's family and Qiao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out frequently, but there were also many people who posted posts to Qiao's house and asked to visit them.He only received contacts from all parties every day, and Qiao Mingjin and others were left on their backs.

Sometimes both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as Qiao Mingjin and others, think that each other is good, but Mingjue refuses to nod.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also unwilling to force Ming Jue, so naturally they spared no effort to run for him.

After all this busy work, another month has passed.

Lan Shi and Qiao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have yet to pick a suitable candidate for Ming Jue.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became more and more worried.

But there is an old saying that goes well.Deliberately arranging flowers will not bloom, but unintentionally planting willows to make shade.

After going back and forth several times, Qiao's family and Zhou's family seemed to have become close relatives.The children of the two families no longer need to follow their parents and elders. They have already sent posts to each other in private to invite them to be guests.

After several walks, the two children became closer.Driven by the Zhou family's children, Qiao Mingjin and the others.Especially sisters Ming Qi and Ming Yu are getting more and more familiar with Yizhou, and they also have several boudoir friends who can walk around.

On this day, the weather was fine.Mrs. Lan took Mrs. Qiao and several granddaughters to wait in the flower hall for Mrs. Wu, the head of the Zhou family, who was about to visit.

Because of Wu's post, both Lan and Qiao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not go out.Because they have come and gone several times in private, they just thought it was just a normal walk, and they didn't think anything else about Wu's coming.

When Mrs. Wu arrives.Mother Qiao took several daughters to the second gate to meet her.It was inevitable to be intimate with each other.

This time, Wu's concubine children did not come with her, except for her eldest daughter-in-law.There was only Qiao Mingjin's aunt.

This aunt is the eldest daughter of the seventh uncle's family, the original patriarch of the Qiao family. Qiao's father called her aunt, and Qiao Mingjin and others wanted to call her aunt.

Although the aunt of the seventh uncle's family is older, she is not a few years older than Qiao Jingkun and Qiao's mother.They had known each other as early as at the family dinner when their family came back.

The seventh uncle and Qiao Jingkun's grandfather, Qiao Xiangyou, are siblings. The two families are very close in blood, so this aunt is also very close to Qiao Mingjin's family.Frequent contacts.Lan Shi and her are regarded as sisters-in-law, and she brought Lan Shi and Qiao's mother to meet many people during the year.

Qiao Mingjin and Qiao's mother also came this time when they saw her.Very happy, he kindly led her to Lan's courtyard.It's just that I was very puzzled, why did my aunt come with Wu's?

Lan Shi was also surprised that Aunt Qiao came with Wu Shi.

Mrs. Lan was several years behind her. When Mrs. Lan married into Qiao's family, Aunt Qiao hadn't left the house yet.The aunt and sister-in-law often do needlework together, talk and chat, and have a very good relationship.Although Lan was surprised by her arrival this time, she was still very happy.

After meeting each other, they sat on both sides.

After exchanging pleasantries, Aunt Qiao found an excuse to dismiss Ming Yu and Ming Qi.

Qiao Mingjin looked left and right, and saw that the two younger sisters had left, but she was still sitting there, wondering if she was leaving too.

Seeing her like that, Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Jin Niang, please sit down. I sent them away because I was afraid that they would lose face and be shy. I know Jin Niang, you are your grandmother and mother's military advisor, and you should treat your younger brothers and sisters with respect." It hurts too, so sit down and give your grandmother and mother an idea."

After hearing this, Qiao Mingjin glanced at Lan Shi, saw her smiling and nodding, and sat down on the chair.

It seems that my identity as a married woman is completely different from that of my two unmarried younger sisters.After Qiao Mingjin figured it out, she shook her head and smiled.

He raised his head and glanced at his grandmother and mother, seeing that both of them were also confused about their aunt and Mrs. Wu coming together, but it was difficult to ask her, so she said to Mrs. Wu: "Why didn't my aunt bring my flower-like couples today?" Yu's younger sister is here, so she went to bring my aunt instead. It's rare that my aunt doesn't go to the theater today, but is willing to accompany Aunt Zhou to the ancestral house."

Before Auntie Wu could open her mouth, she smiled and said, "That's not true. Today I was planning to go to Dong's class to watch 'Silang Visits His Mother', but I was disturbed by her. If she didn't say that she would Compensate me for a few good plays, and pay Dong Jiaban to sing at my house for a day, so I won't come with her."

When Wu heard this, he also laughed.

Said to Aunt Qiao: "Don't ask me to sing for a day. If the Dong's class can be arranged, even if you invite them to sing at your house for a full month, I don't feel sorry for the money. My master made it special. Today's Aunt Qiao's family must be invited to help, I dare not disobey my master's orders."

The more Qiao Mingjin and the others listened, the more confused they became. They didn't know if there was something that the Patriarch of the Zhou family needed to tell her specifically to ask her to help.Moreover, he even went to Qiao's house on horseback, probably because it had something to do with his own family.

After hearing Wu's words, Aunt Qiao was a little proud that the Zhou family valued her so much.

Seeing that Lan Shi and the others still looked confused, and it was not good for them to waste their time guessing, she explained the purpose of her trip.

"What, you mean our Ming Qi?"

After hearing Aunt Qiao's words, Mrs. Lan and Mother Qiao were a little taken aback. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other before asking.

And Qiao Mingjin was also surprised, is it like this?Is this Aunt Qiao's trip here to be a matchmaker?

What does this say?Grandmother and parents ran around for Ming Jue's marriage, worked hard, but they didn't pick anyone that Ming Jue liked, and Ming Qi, who was only 13 years old, had arrived early?

Hearing Mrs. Lan's question, this time before Aunt Qiao opened her mouth, Mrs. Wu interjected, "Isn't that your Ming Qi? Not only me, but my master also likes her very much. She is said to be lively and has a clear distinction between likes and hates." , is a kind person, and still has a big air, saying that my child is just right. But you also know that in our family, my child who is like a bully, his marriage is not up to our husband and wife to decide. "

Seeing that Lan and the others were leaning over to listen to her, she said again: "When my Shanxian gave birth to him, he was born with dystocia. I raised him on the bed for two full months before raising him. So he was killed as soon as he landed. He took him to his grandparents. In my family, the child Shanxian has been cared by his grandparents since he was a child. Grandma nodded, even if we like it, it's okay."

Mother Qiao only heard Wu's saying that her daughter was liked by others, and she was very happy.But Lan Shi heard that she was thinking about it again.

Since ancient times, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are the most difficult to get along with.And it is even more difficult to support the upper and lower mothers-in-law.What I am most afraid of is that my mother-in-law likes it but my mother-in-law doesn't like it, and my mother-in-law likes it and my mother-in-law doesn't like it.It is difficult to let the daughter-in-law be caught in the middle.Besides, there are legitimate sons and concubines in Zhou's family, wife and aunt, Ming Qi is used to living in the countryside, so I'm afraid he can't handle these relationships.

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Lan said to Mrs. Wu: "You just said that my Ming Qi is your mother-in-law's fancy?"

How could Mrs. Wu not see Mrs. Lan's worries after so many years of immersion in the gate of the mansion?

Then he said with a smile: "Ming Qi and I were originally spotted by our master, and then told my in-laws. The last time Ming Qi came to my house to play, wasn't he called to greet the old lady? The old lady I fell in love at first glance. He also said that this child can cure Xian'er..."

When Wu said this, he laughed to himself, and said to Lan and the others: "You don't know, my child was spoiled by his grandparents since he was a child, and sometimes even my master couldn't cure him. Her grandmother was ill a few years ago. Well, I'm afraid that after she leaves, this child will be uncaged, like that wild horse that has escaped from the frontier. Last time I met Ming Qi, I liked everything, and I specially told my master to make a decision early. , Don’t tell anyone to grab it first!”

Wu said and laughed again.Aunt Qiao, who was sitting next to her, also laughed together.The water in our Qiao family is to support people, and the daughter will not worry about getting married.

Lan's and Qiao's mother raised the corners of their mouths after hearing this.

Seeing the smiling faces of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu felt relieved.

She has been worrying about this child's marriage for many years.She doesn't like the person her mother-in-law likes, and her mother-in-law doesn't like the person she likes.Seeing that Xian'er is 15 years old, and she still talks about going to someone else, she has long been worried.

I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will give Xian'er someone from her natal family. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
