After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

In comparison, the villagers are more honest.

Qian Fengping returned to the general's mansion, thought about it, and sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhou Yushi's home.

She figured it out and decided not to bother with those famous matchmakers. She had just arrived in the capital and didn't know what was going on.

The entire ordinary official media seems to be not taking it seriously.

How about finding someone I know, like Censor Zhou's wife? Acting as a matchmaker? I don't know if that would work.

Well, I am familiar with Mr. Zhou, but not with Mrs. Zhou.

But Qian Fengping delivered the letter in the morning and received the reply at noon. Mrs. Zhou asked her to come to her house in the afternoon.

After lunch, Qian Fengping went out again.

At the same time, Meng Mansion.

Mrs. Wen arrived at noon, so Mrs. Meng naturally wanted to keep her for lunch.

After lunch, Mrs. Meng took her people for a walk in the yard and disappeared.

"It's said that Madam Meng is a top-notch flower lover in the capital. Look at the garden arrangements... Oh, are those green chrysanthemums?"

Mrs. Wen admired the large garden of the Meng Mansion.

Speaking of which, when she was young, she also liked to play with flowers and plants, but unfortunately her father-in-law was the head of the family, so she had to be frugal in everything.

The garden in the backyard is not even half the size of the Meng Mansion. It is really boring.

"As for me, I just like to appreciate flowers. As for taking care of these flowers and plants, I don't worry as much as Lan'er does."

Mrs. Meng smiled.

"But my daughter is grown up now and will soon be leaving home. When the time comes, I'll take these flowers and plants with her."

There is something else behind this.

I'd like to ask, how is Mrs. Wen's matchmaking going?

He came to visit in a hurry under the scorching sun, but when he arrived, he didn't say anything, which made Mrs. Meng feel uneasy.

Could it be that Fang Yin has changed his mind?

No way, that child is not like that.

"Yes, men and women should get married when they are old enough. It is worrying for men and women who are old enough and still haven't found a husband."

Madam Wen sighed and pointed at the young man who had been following them politely.

"My second uncle is the same. It's been three years since my sister-in-law passed away. He should have gotten married and had children, but he's not in a hurry. He's always thinking about making great achievements. Today, when he heard that I was coming to the Meng Mansion, he followed me here to pay his respects to General Meng, saying that he has admired me for a long time."

Mrs. Meng glanced at it but didn't take it to heart.

"It's a good thing for young people to have ambitions, but it's a pity that my husband is not at home today."

No, I'm asking about my daughter's marriage. Why are you mentioning Wen Laoer?

Mrs. Wen is usually a very smart person, so it's not impossible that she doesn't understand what she means.

"No problem, just ask him to come visit again later. Coincidentally, besides reading, my second uncle also likes to grow flowers and plants. He and Lan'er have similar interests."

Mrs. Wen continued.

The smile on Mrs. Meng's face faded a little, and she stared at her straight.

She vaguely understood what Mrs. Wen meant and felt a little unhappy.

"That's not the way it's said. My Lan'er is a girl from the boudoir, so she appreciates flowers for what they are. But Mr. Wen is a scholar, and when he looks at flowers, he's not just looking at the flowers themselves, but at their artistic conception."

The meaning is very clear. Don't talk about her daughter and Wen Lao Er together. She will feel uncomfortable listening to it.

Mrs. Wen felt a little depressed. She had only raised the issue tentatively, but Mrs. Meng was too disrespectful.

How could her second uncle be inferior to Fang Yin, a reckless man?

"Look at my memory, Madam Meng. I've been here for so long, but I haven't discussed the serious matters yet. Today, Madam Qian came to see me."

"Oh? How about it?"

Mrs. Meng's eyes lit up slightly. The Fang family finally took action.

"Ah, I... I don't know how to put it. It really is... Otherwise, I wouldn't come to bother you at noon."

"Mrs. Meng, you and I have known each other for many years, and I have to say one thing: this young general is truly not a good match."

Mrs. Wen hesitated and acted in a difficult manner.

Just then they arrived at the pavilion, where a maid brought them tea and snacks, and they sat down to talk.

Madam Meng frowned slightly: "Why did Madam Wen say that?"

"Alas, Madam Meng doesn't know that Madam Qian might be from the countryside, so she's not very knowledgeable... I told her about the etiquette of marriage in the capital, and Madam Qian was shocked. She wanted me to mediate, saying that the marriage should be carried out according to the man's rules, which is also the rules of their countryside. She said that in the countryside, you can get married for four or five taels of silver."

Mrs. Wen had an expression that was hard to describe, and she kept looking at Mrs. Meng's face from time to time.

Seeing the latter's face darken, his brows furrowed and he said nothing, Mrs. Wen felt satisfied.

"There's another thing. Madam Qian said that although the Young General's Mansion is the General's Mansion, the Young General has received a lot of favors from her in the past, so it's only natural for her to be the head of the General's Mansion. From what I hear, she implies that she's unwilling to give up the power of housekeeper."

She found out about the Fang family's housekeeper power in private.

At that time, she felt that this matter could be used to write a lot of articles.

"Oh? Did she say anything else?" Mrs. Meng said expressionlessly.

Mrs. Wen just thought she was trying hard to suppress her anger.

She continued to fan the flames.

"Madam Qian also said that women are not as good as men. Miss Meng is still unmarried at this age. She might have some health problems. I don't know if she can still get pregnant. If so, we should choose two concubines to take with her."

"presumptuous!"

Mrs. Meng could no longer bear it and smashed the teacup.

"That's right. Madam Qian has suddenly become rich and powerful, and her thoughts are really not to be mentioned in public. I just argued with her a few times, saying that she was being unkind and unrighteous. Don't forget, the Young General is in this situation thanks to General Meng. Madam Qian got angry and just walked away."

Mrs. Wen looked indignant.

"I have never met such an ignorant person."

"enough!"

Mrs. Meng spoke coldly.

She couldn't bear to hear a single word.

Mrs. Wen was in a good mood, her face gentle and comforting: "Madam Meng, there's no need to be angry. Not everyone is as short-sighted as Mrs. Qian. If it were me, Fang Yin wouldn't be a good match for me if he became successful. My second uncle would be..."

"I said enough is enough!"

Mrs. Meng stood up immediately.

"Madam Wen, has my Meng family ever offended you?"

Mrs. Wen was at a loss for what to do.

"You came here today and first slandered the character of the younger generation recognized by my Meng family. Then you repeatedly mentioned my second uncle to humiliate my Meng family. Do you think I can be bullied and humiliated?"

Mrs. Meng didn't believe a word she said.

She had also met Qian Fengping, and she seemed to have a good temper.

All members of the Fang family have excellent character, otherwise how could she and her husband be so satisfied with Fang Yin?

Qian Fengping said that there is something wrong with a woman who is not married at an older age. She felt that her daughter never grew up and wanted her to get married later.

Mrs. Wen's heart tightened, and she felt a little flustered when she met Mrs. Meng's sharp gaze.

She was careless with her words and said too much.

"Mrs. Meng, we have known each other for many years. You know me well. What Mrs. Qian said is all true. I would never make up nonsense."

"As for bringing my second uncle here, it's actually because I think he and Lan'er have a connection..."

"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense."

Mrs. Meng wanted to cover her mouth, as she wanted to ruin her daughter's reputation with just a few words.

"My Lan'er has never met Mr. Wen, so he has nothing to do with me."
