Daughter's Survival Manual

Chapter 262
Xiao Qingmei clenched tightly on the fists hidden in the wide sleeves, Xiao Chen's eyes were full of coldness.Xiao Qingmei wasn't afraid at all, she suddenly regretted it, why did she make such a big commotion?Face-to-face and back-to-back matters, could it be that she, Xiao Qingmei, is still too late?Xiao Chen's lips were tightly pursed, and there was a trace of sternness in his black eyes. He loved this daughter, but he didn't let her be lawless. If this daughter listened to his persuasion, it would be fine, if she didn't listen to his persuasion—— Could it be that Xiao Chen only had this one daughter?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Qingmei's eyes completely changed, there was no trace of emotion in them, they were indifferent.After all, Xiao Qingmei is the daughter that Xiao Chen carefully taught. When she saw Xiao Chen's eyes like this, she murmured, and shouted in submission, "Father." Father has always been easy to talk about trivial matters, but Xiao Qingmei can see clearly that this family matter is a matter of state. Xiao Chen is not as honest and honest as he appears on the surface. On the contrary, Xiao Chen has great ambitions and a great desire to control Well, if it's just a marriage, she can't do it if she says no.But if it's a marriage...

Xiao Qingmei's long fingers sank into the flesh of her palm, but she didn't feel any pain.If he wholeheartedly contradicts his father, Xiao Chen will show no mercy.When Xiao Qingmei shouted, Mrs. Xiao immediately came out to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, my daughter is just talking in a fit of anger, she just doesn't want to leave us. After I have a good talk with her, it will be fine. Mr. Lang But don’t get angry because of this, be careful not to get burned.”

After Madam Xiao finished speaking, she glanced at Xiao Qingmei.The corners of Xiao Qingmei's mouth pursed, and Madam Xiao looked at her several times before she stepped back and said, "Father please forgive my daughter for what mother taught me." Both mother and daughter took a step back, Xiao Chen squinted Mrs. Xiao glanced at the mother and daughter, and flicked her sleeves, "You are such a good daughter!" After saying that, she turned around and left. The corners of Mrs. Xiao's eyes twitched when she was looking directly, and then she turned red.What I said just now was good, as long as I stayed in the main courtyard to eat with myself.nowadays--

Mrs. Xiao kicked Xiao Qingmei hard, what kind of food is this!

The marriage negotiation between the Xiao family and Prince Jin's mansion was put on the agenda, but among the capable families in the imperial city, which one didn't know about this marriage?King Wei laughed when he heard the news, and for several days he went up to court and said a few words to Xiao Chen, but he didn't talk too much, but King Jin looked straight at him once or twice.Looking at King Jin's gloomy eyes, the smile on Wei Xian's face became more and more obvious.

Zhao Yange was under Wei Xian's subordinates, so he naturally knew about these changes in the court, but the more he knew, the more he knew that Wei Xian was unfathomable. He originally wanted to go to the Zou Mansion to be a martial arts teacher, but he was paralyzed at this juncture. However, Zhao Yange had to be more cautious.Who knows if anyone is staring at Zou Zhen's family?Zou Sui and Mrs. Zou were completely unaware of this.Mrs. Zou saw that Huamei's belly was getting bigger day by day, but she still took Zou Sui to her yard. The dissatisfaction in her heart became more and more day by day, but because of her belly, she couldn't get angry.She always hoped that Zou Sui would have many children and grandchildren, and that his descendants would prosper.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Zou mentioned the word "second wife" again in front of Zou Sui.This time, Mrs. Zou brought a roster from the official media and selected all the unmarried girls in the imperial city, and then discussed with Zou Sui.After picking and picking for a long time, Mrs. Zou came up with three barely passable candidates.One is the daughter of the master of Yecheng, surnamed Xu.One is the youngest daughter of Shangshu in the palace.The other is Mrs. Tan's daughter, Tan Youxuan.

Mrs. Zou still remembers Mrs. Qin's aggressiveness in Guiyihou's mansion, and she doesn't like Mrs. Qin very much, but Qin Youxuan has a very good reputation in the imperial city of Yecheng. high.Mrs. Zou repeatedly said to herself that the family of a daughter who can read is the most respectful. She always reports good news to her natal family but not bad news. Even if she is married to the Zou family, why not decide on her own?How can she decide her own reason?Thinking of this, Mrs. Zou didn't think it was too difficult to accept this marriage in the Qin family.

When Mrs. Zou showed the candidate list to Zou Zhen, Zou Zhen frowned for a long time, and did not let go for a moment, just staring at the thin piece of paper, without saying a word.Mrs. Zou hurriedly asked, "But what's wrong?" No!Of course it is not good!Good looking and low status!High status looks bad!After all, there was an equal left and right, but the youngest daughter of Shangshu in the palace was extremely spoiled.Why is Zou Su not willing to be overwhelmed by his wife again, he doesn't like these three people no matter how much he looks at them.

It took a while for Zou Xuan to speak calmly, "Mother, the ladies of these families are all young, about the same age as You Wan, and both father and brother have official positions, and the families are really somewhat..." Zou Xuan's His eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips and said, "I'm afraid I will trouble my mother to think about it." When Zou Sui said this, it was nothing more than that the three of them looked down upon them.Mrs. Zou was taken aback, "Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, I see that this lady from the Tan family is pretty good. Both families came from Yecheng, and they know the whole story. What are you dissatisfied with?" Mrs. Zou said the Tan family Okay, but Zou Sui didn't think there was anything good about the Tan family.

Leaving aside Tan Youxuan, Zou Sui definitely did not seek to make himself unhappy as far as Mrs. Qin's relationship with Guiyihou's Mansion was concerned.Seeing Mrs. Zou's displeasure, Zou Sui stepped forward and said to Mrs. Zou, "Mother forgot that my son was in the Prince Jin's mansion, and Shuang Yi fell into the water with this lady. We don't deserve to return However, there are quite a few wives who see it clearly. Now if you go to seek the wife of the Qin family, you will have to be called a hostage. When the time comes, the in-laws will become enemies instead, but the son is absolutely unwilling. have witnessed."

Zou Sui looked at Mrs. Zou anxiously, fearing that Mrs. Zou would not figure it out for a while and would become stubborn.Mrs. Zou pointed to the name of the Shangshu in the palace, "What about this family?" Zou Sui sighed, "My mother probably doesn't know that the Shangshu in the palace got this daughter at forty, and love is like a treasure. How can I marry a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower and like a jade? I am a person with a family? And the girl is delicate, and I can't be with her every day. If it comes true, I'm afraid she will be wronged, and my mother will be wronged too." The meaning of Zou Sui's words could not be more clear, that is The daughter of this family is very hot-tempered, Mrs. Zou wants to have a daughter-in-law who can handle her easily, but she doesn't want a daughter-in-law to handle her.

After Zou Sui said this, only the wife of the Xu family was left.The Xu family wanted money but no money, and name but no name. Apart from a face, Zou Sui really had nothing to benefit from the Xu family.Mrs. Zou didn't need to open her mouth to tell that Zou Sui was dissatisfied with the Xu family.What Mrs. Zou wanted at the beginning was that the daughter of this family had a low status and was easy to control, and her left and right were also officials' daughters, so she barely made do.It can be seen that Zou Zhen is like this, Madam Zou accepted the post and sighed, "You can't look down on this master, and you can't offend the west family. Tell me, when will you be able to marry a wife and come to comfort me?" The heart of an old woman? Can I hold another grandson in my lifetime?"

Mrs. Zou looked as if she had aged ten years all of a sudden, and Zou Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What nonsense did mother say? If the son wants to marry a wife, it is not the person who will serve the mother to control the inner courtyard. Of course You have to choose carefully and choose carefully. If today fails, there will be tomorrow, and if a son looks like this, can he not marry a wife?" Mrs. Zou stared into Zou Sui's eyes and said, "You can marry, but what do you want? What kind of wife and family? This aunt is the housekeeper for one year, two years, three years, and four years. Could it be that you still have an aunt in charge of the house for more than ten or twenty years?"

Mrs. Zou's words did not mean to dislike Aunt Shi, it's just that Aunt Shi is in charge of the house, and it's not pleasant to say anything.Mrs. Zou still wanted Zou Sui to marry a decent woman in her heart.There was a look of embarrassment on Zou Xuan's face, and there were many gossips, but Zou Zhen didn't take it to heart in the past.Now Mrs. Zou mentioned it, and Zou Sui also felt that it was inappropriate for her aunt to be the housekeeper, but Mrs. Zou was old, and Zou Sui was the most filial to Mrs. Zou. How could she make Mrs. Zou work hard for it?And he had finally come out of Guiyihou's mansion, and he never wanted to create a Marquis' mansion in the imperial city, and Zou Sui was unwilling to let Han Yuexia take charge of the house.As a result, Zou Sui had to marry a wife.

But to marry a wife, you have to have a wife to marry!The noble girls in the imperial city look down on the low ones, and can't climb the high ones, Zou Sui is not without complaints in his heart.Zou Xuan stood there in a muffled voice for a quarter of an hour, then cupped his hands and said, "Mother, don't worry, the son will find someone." After saying this, Zou Xuan left.At this time, Su Fan sent someone to send a post to Zou Xuan, inviting Zou Xuan to go to Sui Yunxuan to have a talk tomorrow.Dahong's post is bordered with gold thread, and the style looks very rich, and the ink paper inside is a good thing that has not been sold in recent years. Zou Sui only holds it in his hand, and he can almost smell the faint fragrance of ink on the paper with his nose .

Although the Su family is not an official family, how can the food, clothing, housing and transportation be organized worse than other families?Even if Zou Sui wanted to buy the pen and paper, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed.Not to mention, the sons and daughters of the Su family are good-looking, although they are a little shapeless, they are also refreshing and pleasing to the eye.Zou Sui was a little bit moved when he thought about the shy and timid Su Yao, but the thought was only fleeting. Su Fan became relatives with him, and also called him cousin a few times!
Han Yuexia didn't care about Zou Sui and Mrs. Zou's troubles about their stepmother, but it wasn't that everything was fine for her.As soon as Mrs. Zou planned to go to Qin Mansion, Han Yuexia received a post from Qin Mansion.Qin Youxuan was ill, and among the noble girls, Han Yuexia was the only one who could talk to her.Mrs. Tan felt sorry for her daughter, so a special envoy came to invite Han Yuexia to visit Tan's house.

Holding that post, Han Yuexia was surprised, it's so good, why did he get sick?And let Mrs. Qin send someone to invite me?
