The Prince of the Historian of the Red Chamber
77 Look at the old guy
Before the imperial examination, there was a re-examination to check the authenticity of the talents and learning of the tribute scholars and to prevent fraud in the imperial examination.The re-examination of this subject was held in the Palace of Preserving Harmony. At dawn, the successful tributes lined up outside the imperial city according to their ranks and waited.Afterwards, led by the same examiner of the Imperial Academy and Xiao Huangmen, they entered the palace from the left door of the Meridian Gate. Compared with the usual hustle and bustle of people in the rural and general examinations, it was completely silent at this time.
Shi Mo ranked higher, and his eyesight was wider than that of the Gongshi behind him. He clearly saw that when he was about to enter the imperial city, some of the people in front couldn't help shivering, and he even heard that he didn't know which brother couldn't hold back. There was a loud sob.
Indeed, when he was a descendant of the imperial city, he often went for a walk. At that time, he just praised our ancestors in Huaguo for their amazing workmanship. He was so trembling like he is now.There is an imperial city where the nobles of the Tian family live and an empty house, the difference between the majesty and majesty is not enough.
On both sides of the road, ten steps away, there is a small yellow door standing on one side, and dozens of steps away, there are guards with knives staring at them, which means that you are acting out of order and dragging them out immediately.In such a solemn and mighty atmosphere, Shi Xiaomo's back felt cold and his calves were trembling, so he could only comfort himself in his heart: what are you afraid of, the boss has been here a hundred and eighty times!Not to mention anything else, even the Queen's Young Master Fengdian went in for a walk!
After going through it for a while, everyone was calmer on the day of the palace examination. The palace examination was presided over by the emperor himself, so there is such a saying as the emperor's disciple.However, the chief examiner said he was the emperor, but the emperor was not someone who could easily face the face of the sky with such little tributes. He was still seated by a well-mannered old man whom he didn't know.While studying ink, Shi Mo quietly raised his head and took a quick glance. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar figure. It was Lin Ruhai, Uncle Lin.
Lin Ruhai smiled, this kid.
In the middle of the exam, the sound of steady footsteps suddenly came from the hall where needles could be heard, causing all the candidates to stand on their backs.The hem embroidered with "Sea Sea River Cliff" came into view, which made people even more nervous.
There are water waves above the curved water feet, and there are mountains and stone treasures standing on the water waves, which are called "sea water river cliffs". Traditionally, only the emperor's dragon robe or the pro-dynasty clothes were available.
The man walked steadily among the candidates, and saw some candidates whose hands and feet trembled in shock, their wrists softened, their handwriting was distorted, or there was an ink spot on the paper.The chief examiner who was sitting earlier had already got up, and smiled wryly when he saw this. The wolves on the northern grasslands would crawl in fright when they saw your aura, let alone these powerless students?
The man's eyes were clear and upright, and he glanced at the old man, what does that mean - what can such a soft and courageous person do if he passes the exam?
The old man bowed his hands to him, my lord, you have inspected and inspected, so let's go, you didn't see the first name Huiyuan on the apricot list this time, he was already a man with a gray beard in his tens of years, the old man was taken by you What kind of frightened body is it?What if the fear is too much?
Out of the corner of the man's eyes, the old man who was shivering like chaff in front of him passed by. The dark yellow clothes stopped without a trace when he passed by Shi Mo's side, and the sound of footsteps went away.
Many people in the hall wiped their sweat with their sleeves, and the boss slandered: The Holy Majesty ordered King Su to inspect on his behalf.Thinking about it, he glanced at the famous Huiyuan, and this glance made the old man happy: the old man wiped sweat with one hand, and wrote steadily with the other hand, and the other hand was beautiful!
On April 21st, the palace examination was held, and the dust settled after a short time. The Holy One was awarded the number one scholar, the second place, and the third prize.
On that day, the Luan Yiwei, the Music Department and the Harmony Department tried to drive, set up Zhonghe Shaoyue, and set up Danbi Dayue according to the etiquette system.Civil and military officials all wear court uniforms and are ranked according to rank.
The tributes wear official uniforms and crowns with three branches and nine leaves, and stand behind the east and west shifts of civil and military officials according to their ranks.
Afterwards, the official of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites invited the emperor to go out of the palace and ascend to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.After kneeling three times and knocking on the mountain nine times to call Long Live, the officials of Honglu Temple began to announce the system. The names of the three people in Yijia were sung three times.Afterwards, the second and third graders did not receive such treatment. They all sang only once, and they did not lead out from the class.After all the etiquette, the officials of the Ministry of Rites held the list, carried the list with a cloud disk, led it with a yellow umbrella, and hung it outside the East Chang'an Gate. 【Note】
The Jinke No. [-] Scholar was the Hui Yuan in his sixtieth year, and the extremely happy No. [-] Scholar tremblingly led all the Jinshi out to watch the list, and his appearance was very gratifying.
Shi Mo's ranking did not change much, he was 31th in the second class, while Jia Huan was much ahead of him, at [-]st in the second class, and both of them were awarded Jinshi.
This time, a total of 170 six people were selected, and 70 of them came from the same Jinshi background. Jia Huan was No. [-] in the examination. Fortunately, this person made a lot of progress in the palace examination.Yuan Che, Lin Ruhai and others were all sweating for him.
The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, seeing Chang'an flowers in one day.
No. [-] pick, No. [-], and Tan Hua can walk out of the Meridian Gate on this day.
Except for the emperor, only the empress of the Yuan Dynasty can enter this Meridian Gate once during her wedding; for the rest of the world, only the top three bestowed by Ming and justice can step out of this gate once.For the rest, even if you are powerful and wealthy, you will not be able to survive!
Shi Mo didn't care much, he walked through the Meridian Gate countless times in his previous life, he could come out and then go in, go in and then come out, hey, he can go anywhere, it's not uncommon.On the contrary, Yuan Che and Lin Ruhai both had nostalgia and sighs in their eyes.
However, Yuan Che remembered the high spirits of his elder brother when he walked out of the Meridian Gate with his head held high when he was ranked second in the list. His thoughts were in a trance, but it was the elder brother who was imprisoned, holding his hand stained with blood, telling him to run away, and taking his long Run away, sister!The elder sister had tears in her eyes, and refused to drag him down. She held Xiangyun at the gate of the North City, and led the servants of the Yuan family to block the pursuit of the soldiers and horses from the five cities... Not long after, the elder sister who had just given birth to Mo'er was arrested 'Died of illness' in Bowling Hou Mansion!
How could he not avenge this bloody feud!Knowing that his nephew is the number one scholar, if he delays one or two subjects, it will be enough to be ranked in the top three, but he still made up his mind to let his nephew barely take the scientific examination in his early years of hair——His Majesty's methods are getting more and more severe, he is afraid Before he had the Jia family's evidence in his hands, the Holy Majesty couldn't bear to deal with them, so how could his Yuan family's bloody debts be cleared up, and why should his Yuan family's grievances be settled? !
Yuan Che looked at the group of dukes and county kings swaggering back on their horses from a distance, his eyes were cold, his fists under his wide sleeves were tightly clenched, just wait, it will be soon...
Lin Ruhai squinted at the old man Ren's smiling face, feeling sour.But the old man showed off on purpose, his tail was up to the sky.
Ren Lanzhi caressed his beard, patted his son on the shoulder and laughed, really happy.
Can you be unhappy, he is in the family, and both father and son are looking for flowers!
Ren Xuejin is also a tall and handsome young man with extraordinary appearance. Although he is happy at the moment, he is a hundred times more pleasing to the eye than his old father's complacent appearance.At this moment, Ren Xuejin was also a little embarrassed, and rushed to say hello to all the adults.
Those who congratulated Old Man Ren were all his colleagues and friends. Most of them were uncles who watched Ren Xuejin grow up. They were also very happy to see this child have such a promising future. They were even more satisfied with Ren Xuejin's politeness. Yes, I began to think about whether there was a suitable girl in the family, and the Ren family's child would be a good son-in-law!
After a while, Ren Lanzhi restrained himself a bit, seeing his old friend's overt and secret intentions, feeling complacent, and deliberately glanced at Lin Ruhai, and pretended to say: "The old man is in the military department, and half of his poems and books are ruined. My son is able to have today, thanks to Brother Hai taught me carefully." Ren Xuejin was also one of the nephews who visited the Lin family last year.
Lin Ruhai snorted coldly, only praised Ren Xuejin, and ignored the old man Ren.
Old man Ren is so happy, you refused to assign your daughter to my family at the beginning, hahaha, do you regret it now?If you are willing, not only can my family have a good daughter-in-law who is full of poems and books to match the golden son, even today, not only the father and son are in love, but also the son-in-law and the father-in-law are in love.
It turned out that Ren Shangshu heard that there was a beautiful and talented girl in his old friend's house, so he wanted to marry his youngest son Ren Xuejin. I beg the couple to sing in harmony.
As the saying goes, the father loves the youngest son.The Ren family has a good family style, Mrs. Ren was able to give birth, and she gave birth to three sons and three daughters in a row. The eldest son has already married a wife, and the eldest daughter-in-law is capable and kind. The old friend's girl lost her mother when she was young, so she might not be good at housekeeping, but the more she was like this, the more satisfied he was: Do you want to find a daughter-in-law who is too capable for the youngest son, and fight with the eldest daughter-in-law and make the family restless.
As a result, he excitedly came to the door to talk to his old friend in person, but the old friend refused straight away, which made old man Ren very angry.It's been a long time since I saw my old friend feeling weird.
Later, the Lin family appointed the third son of the Zhang family as his son-in-law. The old man Ren also admitted that the Zhang family had a good family style and the third boy of the Zhang family was a good boy, but he still held his breath in his heart. Could it be that his son of the Ren family was worse than the Zhang family?
Lin Ruhai looked at Yushu Linfeng, Ren Xuejin, who was a good-looking talent, felt a little melancholy, and sighed: It's a pity that he doesn't have a son!
Old man Ren saw it and was proud of it. Teteer was with Lin Ruhai on the way back home.While no one was paying attention, he poked his old friend with his elbow, and his little eyes flew over: "How is it? I regret it! I knew it, hehehe!"
The two have been studying and practicing handwriting together since they were together, being mischievous and being beaten, Lin Ruhai got the first class, and Ren Lanzhi got the next one, their friendship is profound.If it wasn't for the fact that Lin Ruhai was not familiar with his old friend Yao'er when he was sent to Jiangnan, and Jia Baoyu's previous example, Lin Ruhai might have wronged Daiyu, and the two families might not have gotten along well with each other.
At this moment, old man Ren's little eyes flew away, and Lin Ruhai, who was disgusted, took a big step back, looking to mess with this old guy!
Get on your horse with a wave, and never run side by side with this old guy again.
When Lin Ruhai left, old man Ren didn't care, he shook his head and hummed a little tune before wandering back home.Ren Xuejin couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to follow.
How did the old man know that Lin Ruhai had a very good impression of Ren Xuejin at first, with well-founded advances and retreats, poems and books in his belly, and good looks, he was indeed worthy of his precious Yu'er.Lin Ruhai himself has a brilliant literary talent and was born in Tanhua. He has no son, so he naturally wants a son-in-law who is exactly the same.He and his old friend have been friends for a lifetime. Yu'er is considered a young daughter-in-law when she marries into his family. I heard that the head of the family's daughter-in-law is also a virtuous one, and she is not afraid that Yu'er will be bullied by her sister-in-law.
But the bad thing is that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ren family is so virtuous. When Lin Ruhai inquired, this daughter-in-law of the Ren family is virtuous and generous!Not only did she make all the big girls who came as dowry to her husband, but she also promoted the two big girls who used to serve her husband as aunts. When she had a child, she asked her mother-in-law to bring the big girls around her so that she could serve her husband. .She is so virtuous and has been praised unanimously by everyone in the house, and the eldest son Ren is not a womanizer, but his wife is a virtuous one, and he respects him very much.
But when Lin Ruhai heard about it, he felt very uncomfortable.He is also a big man, so he naturally knows the difference between being respectful as a guest and Qin Se and Ming. How could he be willing to let his Yu'er talk to a bunch of aunts every day, just to show his generosity and virtuousness?A man, respect his wife and don't let him love and pamper his concubine. If Yu'er goes to the house of the head of the house, I'm afraid the son-in-law's love and affection will be given to the aunt, and Yu'er will occupy the Ming'er of the wife of the main house. Can only guard the respect of the son-in-law for a lifetime?snort!Lin Ruhai is not dead yet!
And the daughter-in-law of the boss of the Ren family is also very 'sensible'. It is said that she loves her uncle and feels sorry for his uncle who is tired of studying and is black and black. Te Teer reported to her husband and mother-in-law, and asked her mother-in-law to send two clever and sensible members to the uncle. The person who took care of him went, Mrs. Ren really pointed out two maids to the younger son, these two maids took good care of him, Ren Xuejin's complexion really improved a lot, and his studies improved even more.
Right now those two beautiful girls are still by Ren Xuejin's side, Lin Ruhai's face turned black when he heard about it, this is a beautiful thing for a man, but for the wife of the Ren family boy in the future, she will be a hot potato ——Bestowed by her mother-in-law, she served her husband well in his studies, and also had the face of a sister-in-law. If these two girls were hiding their ambitions, it would be difficult for Ren Xuejin's wife to deal with, should they be dealt with?If so, how?How to deal with the aftermath?
Lin Ruhai snorted coldly at that time, this paternal daughter-in-law is not virtuous, but idle!
When Lin Ruhai heard that Ren Xuejin had red sleeves to add fragrance, he suddenly thought of the cousin of Daiyu's ancestral family. Isn't Jia Baoyu also a beautiful person who is beautiful and recites poems?Except for the official career and economics of this scholarship, which is the same as that of Jia Baoyu, the rest is exactly the same as that of Jia Baoyu?
Father Lin immediately became angry, thinking that at this age, he only had such a precious girl under his knees. He seemed to be staring at him, and he had a deep feeling in his heart. How could he push her into the fire pit? !And even if Ren Xuejin would love his wife, and seeing his sister-in-law grow up as a role model, if Yu'er goes wrong, he might be branded as unvirtuous in his heart. Taking the initiative to give her husband a woman, Se Duoduo's woman, that seems to be jealous in the eyes of the Ren family and his family!
Lin Ruhai loved Jia Min all his life, even if Yuer's elder brother died early, Jia Min lost his body after giving birth to Yuer and could not conceive again, Lin Ruhai didn't add new people to the house, there were still only two unfavored His old aunt—of course, Lin Ruhai is not without regrets in his heart, but he knows in his heart that the Lin family's concubines are unhappy, and the root cause is not in the women's wives, but in the men of their line. Women who marry well and give birth often have lucky aunts in their houses, but it's not that the number of offspring is few and their roots are almost wiped out.Lin Ruhai himself has a deep relationship with Jia Min and his wife, and he also hopes that his daughter will be like this. The ruthless methods of the women in the back house are far more than men.
Therefore, when an old friend mentioned that he wanted to hire Yu'er as his young daughter-in-law, Lin Ruhai refused even to be polite.The old man can be wronged.
Ren Lanzhi went back to the Minister's Mansion in a big way, not only feeling happy and happy, but also doubting why the old friend didn't want his daughter to marry into his house. In his house, it's no better than other places, at least the virtuous niece has the friendship of these two old things As a backer, who can give wronged niece Xian?
The black lacquered door of the Ministry of War Minister's Mansion was wide open, and two rows of servants congratulated the master and the young master with smiles, and the whole house was beaming with joy.Old man Ren knew at a glance that it was the work of the eldest daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law did things neatly and beautifully!You said it would be nice and comfortable for old man Lin to let his daughter marry him, with such a elder sister-in-law on his shoulders, don't care about anything, just sit and enjoy the blessings, hey, but that guy is not happy.Forget it, forget it if you don't like it, it's not that his family can't find a good wife.
After stepping into the second door, when the daughter-in-law of the Ren family brought a group of people to congratulate the father-in-law and the younger uncle, the old man was a little confused.
With a stiff smile on his face, he praised the eldest daughter-in-law a few words, and generously rewarded the whole house, and after letting the eldest daughter-in-law and others retreat, the old man pointed to the group of colorful people who followed the eldest daughter-in-law in the distance, He asked his son in a trembling voice: "The people behind your sister-in-law are wearing clothes, why don't they look like girls, your sister-in-law is too lenient."
have to!This one has a glimmer of hope.
Taking a good look at the younger son, he saw that the younger son casually glanced at the red flowers, willows and green flowers, and said casually, "Those? Well, they are all from the elder brother's room. The elder sister-in-law is always virtuous, so let's bring them to congratulate."
Old man Ren was dizzy for a while. He knew that his eldest daughter-in-law was virtuous, but his wife sometimes wondered, telling him that she had never seen such a big-bodied woman.He still doesn't take it seriously, isn't it magnanimous?If his wife is generous, his son can live a more comfortable life, which is better than those jealous ones.The wife and concubine in the big house are harmonious, and the eldest son has a good wife and beautiful concubine, he feels very satisfied.
But so much?There are so many?Old man Ren couldn't accept it anymore. Others said that there was a virtuous woman in his family. If he really took those flowers and plants for a walk in front of people, I am afraid that besides the virtuous daughter-in-law, the name of the hungry ghost in the color of his boss would also be the same. out.
Old man Ren stopped in his tracks, he really couldn't have imagined that there were so many people in the eldest son's room, he asked his younger son: "This is too much, what will you do if your elder brother breaks his body?"
Ren Xuejin glanced at his old man strangely, what's the matter, didn't his father always praise his sister-in-law for her talents, because he said: "Why, I don't know what's going on in the elder brother's house, but I heard the girl said that the elder sister-in-law is in good order. And the eldest brother is not that womanly person. Besides, don’t you know, Dad, our house invites Ping An’s pulse every month, and they all say that the elder brother is in good health, and the mother even praised the elder sister-in-law for taking good care of her.”
Old man Ren shook his head and sighed, he understood why his old friend was unwilling to marry his daughter over, and he thought he had asked about it before.If he wanted to rely on him, he would not be willing to marry his daughter to be the youngest daughter-in-law. With the example of the eldest sister-in-law, how much less can the youngest daughter-in-law dare to do. Even if she doesn't want to, he has to force her to do so.
It's a good thing it wasn't his son-in-law's house, if he knew which son-in-law's house was like the elder son's, he would have to make a fuss!Bring the girl home, and ask her mother to take a good look at the girl, is there something wrong with her mind?Bring three more sons to beat up the son-in-law!Don't admit your mistakes and don't correct them?He would rather let his daughter reconcile than let his daughter suffer like this for a lifetime!It's not that his Ren family can't afford to support a daughter, even if his aunt and grandmother are divorced, they can live well!Look at his third aunt, isn't she just remarried and living a happy life, and now she is still in good health, and her children and grandchildren are living well around her knees.
Because of this matter, old man Ren was obviously not as happy as before. In the evening, the eldest daughter-in-law set up the banquet, two tables inside and outside, and a few tables in the courtyard for the decent stewards. The whole family was very satisfied.
Old man Ren drank a few cups of old wine and said he was tired after the banquet. The eldest son and the second son supported each other, while the younger son held a lantern in front of his father and brothers to illuminate their feet, and stood behind Mrs. Ren to massage her hanging shoulders. The big girl in the blue dress lowered her head and said with a smile: "My wife is really lucky. The three masters are all so filial, and my aunt is also married well. I often hear people say that the wife of the Zhang family in Hejian Mansion has a good life, but it is truer than that." , who is more fortunate than you?"
Mrs. Ren tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Look at this clever mouth!"
The girl raised her eyes and smiled generously, "Anyway, I have the confidence, who would refuse to accept and ask those wives and grandmas to raise a son of Master Tan Hua? A family of four outstanding, father and son both Tan Hua, isn't that called a blessing? "
Mrs. Ren was even more happy, and said to the human: "Shui Lan is the best at making me happy."
A circle of daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law were all joking around, and said one after another: "Miss Shuilan is telling the truth. Madam, you are the one who is seated in that lucky seat. This good luck is rolling. It was predetermined in the previous life, so you just Enjoy."
There is only a woman who is about forty years away, dressed in a crab shell and green thong, with a golden plum flower hairpin inserted obliquely on her head, lowering her head and curling her lips indistinctly. Now with honey on his mouth and smiling like a Bodhisattva, he can scratch the little girl's face with his long nails when he turns his head. This little hoof has a high heart. Looking at the situation, he is in love with our Xinke Tanhualang. I want to please my wife. To be the third young master's housekeeper!
Speaking of the third young master, Aunt Fu felt a pain in her heart: obviously her brother Cheng is the third son in the house, and she told the master to adopt him to the poor fourth master's house.The fourth master is quite old, and he is only a sixth-rank foreign official. Her brother Cheng is so tired that he can't come back to Beijing, son?What's the use of a son-in-law, can the son-in-law of the fourth master's family compare with the son-in-law of Shangshufu?It's not because I'm afraid that my wife will feel uncomfortable.
Aunt Fu didn't dare to resent the old lady, but she really hated Shui Lan who said "four outstanding people in one family" to the bottom of her heart.A family of four elites, where does she put her brother in the city?
Shui Lan, who was trying to please Mrs. Ren in every possible way, felt a chill on her back.
People, it's so strange, sometimes a casual sentence can offend people to the grave.
That night, the old man finally waited for Mrs. Ren, who had come back to watch the play, because he said: "Today I know that there are so many people in the boss's house, there are twenty or thirty people. The boss's daughter-in-law is too much, and you too." Leave her alone?"
Mrs. Ren was tired, lying on the bed and said in a daze: "You should pretend that I didn't say it, but you can't say it too plainly, for fear of hurting the daughter-in-law's heart, and also afraid that the daughter-in-law will use that as a shield to punish the boss's housemates." ...Hey, didn't you say that, after all, our son will take advantage of it, and she can do whatever she likes. It's all tens of thousands, go to sleep, ah."
Old man Ren thought the same thing, you can't say this to your wife, it's better to point to the boss, he refused, because the boss said it himself because of his daughter-in-law's temperament that puts her husband first, it must be effective.
From then on, Mrs. Ren went to banquets everywhere to see her daughter-in-law.It's just that the young lady who had a crush on her son felt a little inadequate in such a high school, so she couldn't help being embarrassed.
The next day, old man Ren thought that his youngest son was going to ride a horse to parade through the streets. The most popular parade has always been the handsome Tanhua, so he got up early, thought about it, and went to the courtyard of his youngest son himself. He rushed out to greet her, and a smiling and pretty maid hurriedly closed the curtain.
Old man Ren looked away from the corner of his eye, and went into the study to sit. This time, another girl with tassel and begonia hairpin on her head gracefully brought tea. Old man Ren's brows twitched, and he heard his son say: "Shanlan, Qingfeng, You go down."
Mountain mist, breeze?Old man Ren remembered that it was the eldest daughter-in-law who mentioned the two maids his mother had given him. Suddenly, old man Ren felt a little jealous and didn't say much. He planned to marry his youngest son from the bottom of his heart.The youngest son of the province does not have a serious mistress here, and his sister-in-law spreads her virtues to his uncle.
After the morning, before he had a sip of hot tea, Mrs. Ren said: "Those girls I met before, after thinking about it, they don't match us very well. Today, his sister-in-law said that her natal family has a cousin. He is a good person, and he is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I figured he would be a good match for Jin'er, if you agree, I will ask his sister-in-law to invite the child to his home tomorrow to see each other."
The old man took a sip of tea and choked into his trachea, which made Mrs. Ren jump.
The old man Ren didn't wait for his breath to go smoothly, and said angrily: "Don't do it!"
Mrs. Ren wondered: "Didn't you say to hire a talented woman for our Jin'er? Besides, the eldest daughter-in-law is always virtuous, and her cousin is not much different. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Old man Ren rubbed his heart, but he couldn't say anything unkind about his eldest daughter-in-law, so he could only slow down and say: "The eldest daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Mei Hanlin family. The boss will inherit our branch sooner or later, and he doesn't care whether his wife's family is rich or not. But Jin'er is different, he is a prostitute himself, we just need to work hard on the girl with a rich dowry, his mother, dont you agree?"
After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Ren felt that what the master said was true.
If there is anything that Mrs. Ren is not satisfied with about the eldest daughter-in-law, it is undoubtedly because of what can be called a shabby dowry when she entered the door.Not to mention the dowry that 64 carried that was not filled with boxes, but the furniture in the old courtyard. Except for the babu bed, which is made of huanghuali, the rest is made of camphor wood. Which of the married women in the capital city can stand on the table is not a dowry The mahogany furniture is only fresh from their Mei family, and they use white wood.Mrs. Ren had heard the rumors that the Mei family was extremely patriarchal, and she didn't have an opinion. According to the rules in the north, especially in the capital, aunts and grandparents are all spoiled guests, and they must be pampered. Dating the eldest daughter-in-law is the meaning of the master, and she is unwilling to see the way the Mei family behaves.
Fortunately, the eldest daughter-in-law is a good one, and having such a family makes her feel distressed.
Mrs. Ren thought about this, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the Mei family is poor, so it is not suitable. I will tell the eldest daughter-in-law, I will take a closer look at Jin'er's marriage."
Hearing this, old man Ren was very satisfied.It's just that he didn't expect that at the banquet a few days later, Mrs. Ren's unintentional compliment would cause many twists and turns in his youngest son's marriage.
What Mrs. Ren said was, "My third son's daughter-in-law is as virtuous as his elder sister-in-law, and I am content."
Mrs. Ren didn't realize that with just this sentence, the wives and wives present at that time felt regretful, regretful, and heartbroken...the Ren Xuejin plan was pulled out of the list of Chenglong Kuaishou son-in-law.
[Note]: Etiquette comes from Du Niang.
Shi Mo ranked higher, and his eyesight was wider than that of the Gongshi behind him. He clearly saw that when he was about to enter the imperial city, some of the people in front couldn't help shivering, and he even heard that he didn't know which brother couldn't hold back. There was a loud sob.
Indeed, when he was a descendant of the imperial city, he often went for a walk. At that time, he just praised our ancestors in Huaguo for their amazing workmanship. He was so trembling like he is now.There is an imperial city where the nobles of the Tian family live and an empty house, the difference between the majesty and majesty is not enough.
On both sides of the road, ten steps away, there is a small yellow door standing on one side, and dozens of steps away, there are guards with knives staring at them, which means that you are acting out of order and dragging them out immediately.In such a solemn and mighty atmosphere, Shi Xiaomo's back felt cold and his calves were trembling, so he could only comfort himself in his heart: what are you afraid of, the boss has been here a hundred and eighty times!Not to mention anything else, even the Queen's Young Master Fengdian went in for a walk!
After going through it for a while, everyone was calmer on the day of the palace examination. The palace examination was presided over by the emperor himself, so there is such a saying as the emperor's disciple.However, the chief examiner said he was the emperor, but the emperor was not someone who could easily face the face of the sky with such little tributes. He was still seated by a well-mannered old man whom he didn't know.While studying ink, Shi Mo quietly raised his head and took a quick glance. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar figure. It was Lin Ruhai, Uncle Lin.
Lin Ruhai smiled, this kid.
In the middle of the exam, the sound of steady footsteps suddenly came from the hall where needles could be heard, causing all the candidates to stand on their backs.The hem embroidered with "Sea Sea River Cliff" came into view, which made people even more nervous.
There are water waves above the curved water feet, and there are mountains and stone treasures standing on the water waves, which are called "sea water river cliffs". Traditionally, only the emperor's dragon robe or the pro-dynasty clothes were available.
The man walked steadily among the candidates, and saw some candidates whose hands and feet trembled in shock, their wrists softened, their handwriting was distorted, or there was an ink spot on the paper.The chief examiner who was sitting earlier had already got up, and smiled wryly when he saw this. The wolves on the northern grasslands would crawl in fright when they saw your aura, let alone these powerless students?
The man's eyes were clear and upright, and he glanced at the old man, what does that mean - what can such a soft and courageous person do if he passes the exam?
The old man bowed his hands to him, my lord, you have inspected and inspected, so let's go, you didn't see the first name Huiyuan on the apricot list this time, he was already a man with a gray beard in his tens of years, the old man was taken by you What kind of frightened body is it?What if the fear is too much?
Out of the corner of the man's eyes, the old man who was shivering like chaff in front of him passed by. The dark yellow clothes stopped without a trace when he passed by Shi Mo's side, and the sound of footsteps went away.
Many people in the hall wiped their sweat with their sleeves, and the boss slandered: The Holy Majesty ordered King Su to inspect on his behalf.Thinking about it, he glanced at the famous Huiyuan, and this glance made the old man happy: the old man wiped sweat with one hand, and wrote steadily with the other hand, and the other hand was beautiful!
On April 21st, the palace examination was held, and the dust settled after a short time. The Holy One was awarded the number one scholar, the second place, and the third prize.
On that day, the Luan Yiwei, the Music Department and the Harmony Department tried to drive, set up Zhonghe Shaoyue, and set up Danbi Dayue according to the etiquette system.Civil and military officials all wear court uniforms and are ranked according to rank.
The tributes wear official uniforms and crowns with three branches and nine leaves, and stand behind the east and west shifts of civil and military officials according to their ranks.
Afterwards, the official of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites invited the emperor to go out of the palace and ascend to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.After kneeling three times and knocking on the mountain nine times to call Long Live, the officials of Honglu Temple began to announce the system. The names of the three people in Yijia were sung three times.Afterwards, the second and third graders did not receive such treatment. They all sang only once, and they did not lead out from the class.After all the etiquette, the officials of the Ministry of Rites held the list, carried the list with a cloud disk, led it with a yellow umbrella, and hung it outside the East Chang'an Gate. 【Note】
The Jinke No. [-] Scholar was the Hui Yuan in his sixtieth year, and the extremely happy No. [-] Scholar tremblingly led all the Jinshi out to watch the list, and his appearance was very gratifying.
Shi Mo's ranking did not change much, he was 31th in the second class, while Jia Huan was much ahead of him, at [-]st in the second class, and both of them were awarded Jinshi.
This time, a total of 170 six people were selected, and 70 of them came from the same Jinshi background. Jia Huan was No. [-] in the examination. Fortunately, this person made a lot of progress in the palace examination.Yuan Che, Lin Ruhai and others were all sweating for him.
The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, seeing Chang'an flowers in one day.
No. [-] pick, No. [-], and Tan Hua can walk out of the Meridian Gate on this day.
Except for the emperor, only the empress of the Yuan Dynasty can enter this Meridian Gate once during her wedding; for the rest of the world, only the top three bestowed by Ming and justice can step out of this gate once.For the rest, even if you are powerful and wealthy, you will not be able to survive!
Shi Mo didn't care much, he walked through the Meridian Gate countless times in his previous life, he could come out and then go in, go in and then come out, hey, he can go anywhere, it's not uncommon.On the contrary, Yuan Che and Lin Ruhai both had nostalgia and sighs in their eyes.
However, Yuan Che remembered the high spirits of his elder brother when he walked out of the Meridian Gate with his head held high when he was ranked second in the list. His thoughts were in a trance, but it was the elder brother who was imprisoned, holding his hand stained with blood, telling him to run away, and taking his long Run away, sister!The elder sister had tears in her eyes, and refused to drag him down. She held Xiangyun at the gate of the North City, and led the servants of the Yuan family to block the pursuit of the soldiers and horses from the five cities... Not long after, the elder sister who had just given birth to Mo'er was arrested 'Died of illness' in Bowling Hou Mansion!
How could he not avenge this bloody feud!Knowing that his nephew is the number one scholar, if he delays one or two subjects, it will be enough to be ranked in the top three, but he still made up his mind to let his nephew barely take the scientific examination in his early years of hair——His Majesty's methods are getting more and more severe, he is afraid Before he had the Jia family's evidence in his hands, the Holy Majesty couldn't bear to deal with them, so how could his Yuan family's bloody debts be cleared up, and why should his Yuan family's grievances be settled? !
Yuan Che looked at the group of dukes and county kings swaggering back on their horses from a distance, his eyes were cold, his fists under his wide sleeves were tightly clenched, just wait, it will be soon...
Lin Ruhai squinted at the old man Ren's smiling face, feeling sour.But the old man showed off on purpose, his tail was up to the sky.
Ren Lanzhi caressed his beard, patted his son on the shoulder and laughed, really happy.
Can you be unhappy, he is in the family, and both father and son are looking for flowers!
Ren Xuejin is also a tall and handsome young man with extraordinary appearance. Although he is happy at the moment, he is a hundred times more pleasing to the eye than his old father's complacent appearance.At this moment, Ren Xuejin was also a little embarrassed, and rushed to say hello to all the adults.
Those who congratulated Old Man Ren were all his colleagues and friends. Most of them were uncles who watched Ren Xuejin grow up. They were also very happy to see this child have such a promising future. They were even more satisfied with Ren Xuejin's politeness. Yes, I began to think about whether there was a suitable girl in the family, and the Ren family's child would be a good son-in-law!
After a while, Ren Lanzhi restrained himself a bit, seeing his old friend's overt and secret intentions, feeling complacent, and deliberately glanced at Lin Ruhai, and pretended to say: "The old man is in the military department, and half of his poems and books are ruined. My son is able to have today, thanks to Brother Hai taught me carefully." Ren Xuejin was also one of the nephews who visited the Lin family last year.
Lin Ruhai snorted coldly, only praised Ren Xuejin, and ignored the old man Ren.
Old man Ren is so happy, you refused to assign your daughter to my family at the beginning, hahaha, do you regret it now?If you are willing, not only can my family have a good daughter-in-law who is full of poems and books to match the golden son, even today, not only the father and son are in love, but also the son-in-law and the father-in-law are in love.
It turned out that Ren Shangshu heard that there was a beautiful and talented girl in his old friend's house, so he wanted to marry his youngest son Ren Xuejin. I beg the couple to sing in harmony.
As the saying goes, the father loves the youngest son.The Ren family has a good family style, Mrs. Ren was able to give birth, and she gave birth to three sons and three daughters in a row. The eldest son has already married a wife, and the eldest daughter-in-law is capable and kind. The old friend's girl lost her mother when she was young, so she might not be good at housekeeping, but the more she was like this, the more satisfied he was: Do you want to find a daughter-in-law who is too capable for the youngest son, and fight with the eldest daughter-in-law and make the family restless.
As a result, he excitedly came to the door to talk to his old friend in person, but the old friend refused straight away, which made old man Ren very angry.It's been a long time since I saw my old friend feeling weird.
Later, the Lin family appointed the third son of the Zhang family as his son-in-law. The old man Ren also admitted that the Zhang family had a good family style and the third boy of the Zhang family was a good boy, but he still held his breath in his heart. Could it be that his son of the Ren family was worse than the Zhang family?
Lin Ruhai looked at Yushu Linfeng, Ren Xuejin, who was a good-looking talent, felt a little melancholy, and sighed: It's a pity that he doesn't have a son!
Old man Ren saw it and was proud of it. Teteer was with Lin Ruhai on the way back home.While no one was paying attention, he poked his old friend with his elbow, and his little eyes flew over: "How is it? I regret it! I knew it, hehehe!"
The two have been studying and practicing handwriting together since they were together, being mischievous and being beaten, Lin Ruhai got the first class, and Ren Lanzhi got the next one, their friendship is profound.If it wasn't for the fact that Lin Ruhai was not familiar with his old friend Yao'er when he was sent to Jiangnan, and Jia Baoyu's previous example, Lin Ruhai might have wronged Daiyu, and the two families might not have gotten along well with each other.
At this moment, old man Ren's little eyes flew away, and Lin Ruhai, who was disgusted, took a big step back, looking to mess with this old guy!
Get on your horse with a wave, and never run side by side with this old guy again.
When Lin Ruhai left, old man Ren didn't care, he shook his head and hummed a little tune before wandering back home.Ren Xuejin couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to follow.
How did the old man know that Lin Ruhai had a very good impression of Ren Xuejin at first, with well-founded advances and retreats, poems and books in his belly, and good looks, he was indeed worthy of his precious Yu'er.Lin Ruhai himself has a brilliant literary talent and was born in Tanhua. He has no son, so he naturally wants a son-in-law who is exactly the same.He and his old friend have been friends for a lifetime. Yu'er is considered a young daughter-in-law when she marries into his family. I heard that the head of the family's daughter-in-law is also a virtuous one, and she is not afraid that Yu'er will be bullied by her sister-in-law.
But the bad thing is that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ren family is so virtuous. When Lin Ruhai inquired, this daughter-in-law of the Ren family is virtuous and generous!Not only did she make all the big girls who came as dowry to her husband, but she also promoted the two big girls who used to serve her husband as aunts. When she had a child, she asked her mother-in-law to bring the big girls around her so that she could serve her husband. .She is so virtuous and has been praised unanimously by everyone in the house, and the eldest son Ren is not a womanizer, but his wife is a virtuous one, and he respects him very much.
But when Lin Ruhai heard about it, he felt very uncomfortable.He is also a big man, so he naturally knows the difference between being respectful as a guest and Qin Se and Ming. How could he be willing to let his Yu'er talk to a bunch of aunts every day, just to show his generosity and virtuousness?A man, respect his wife and don't let him love and pamper his concubine. If Yu'er goes to the house of the head of the house, I'm afraid the son-in-law's love and affection will be given to the aunt, and Yu'er will occupy the Ming'er of the wife of the main house. Can only guard the respect of the son-in-law for a lifetime?snort!Lin Ruhai is not dead yet!
And the daughter-in-law of the boss of the Ren family is also very 'sensible'. It is said that she loves her uncle and feels sorry for his uncle who is tired of studying and is black and black. Te Teer reported to her husband and mother-in-law, and asked her mother-in-law to send two clever and sensible members to the uncle. The person who took care of him went, Mrs. Ren really pointed out two maids to the younger son, these two maids took good care of him, Ren Xuejin's complexion really improved a lot, and his studies improved even more.
Right now those two beautiful girls are still by Ren Xuejin's side, Lin Ruhai's face turned black when he heard about it, this is a beautiful thing for a man, but for the wife of the Ren family boy in the future, she will be a hot potato ——Bestowed by her mother-in-law, she served her husband well in his studies, and also had the face of a sister-in-law. If these two girls were hiding their ambitions, it would be difficult for Ren Xuejin's wife to deal with, should they be dealt with?If so, how?How to deal with the aftermath?
Lin Ruhai snorted coldly at that time, this paternal daughter-in-law is not virtuous, but idle!
When Lin Ruhai heard that Ren Xuejin had red sleeves to add fragrance, he suddenly thought of the cousin of Daiyu's ancestral family. Isn't Jia Baoyu also a beautiful person who is beautiful and recites poems?Except for the official career and economics of this scholarship, which is the same as that of Jia Baoyu, the rest is exactly the same as that of Jia Baoyu?
Father Lin immediately became angry, thinking that at this age, he only had such a precious girl under his knees. He seemed to be staring at him, and he had a deep feeling in his heart. How could he push her into the fire pit? !And even if Ren Xuejin would love his wife, and seeing his sister-in-law grow up as a role model, if Yu'er goes wrong, he might be branded as unvirtuous in his heart. Taking the initiative to give her husband a woman, Se Duoduo's woman, that seems to be jealous in the eyes of the Ren family and his family!
Lin Ruhai loved Jia Min all his life, even if Yuer's elder brother died early, Jia Min lost his body after giving birth to Yuer and could not conceive again, Lin Ruhai didn't add new people to the house, there were still only two unfavored His old aunt—of course, Lin Ruhai is not without regrets in his heart, but he knows in his heart that the Lin family's concubines are unhappy, and the root cause is not in the women's wives, but in the men of their line. Women who marry well and give birth often have lucky aunts in their houses, but it's not that the number of offspring is few and their roots are almost wiped out.Lin Ruhai himself has a deep relationship with Jia Min and his wife, and he also hopes that his daughter will be like this. The ruthless methods of the women in the back house are far more than men.
Therefore, when an old friend mentioned that he wanted to hire Yu'er as his young daughter-in-law, Lin Ruhai refused even to be polite.The old man can be wronged.
Ren Lanzhi went back to the Minister's Mansion in a big way, not only feeling happy and happy, but also doubting why the old friend didn't want his daughter to marry into his house. In his house, it's no better than other places, at least the virtuous niece has the friendship of these two old things As a backer, who can give wronged niece Xian?
The black lacquered door of the Ministry of War Minister's Mansion was wide open, and two rows of servants congratulated the master and the young master with smiles, and the whole house was beaming with joy.Old man Ren knew at a glance that it was the work of the eldest daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law did things neatly and beautifully!You said it would be nice and comfortable for old man Lin to let his daughter marry him, with such a elder sister-in-law on his shoulders, don't care about anything, just sit and enjoy the blessings, hey, but that guy is not happy.Forget it, forget it if you don't like it, it's not that his family can't find a good wife.
After stepping into the second door, when the daughter-in-law of the Ren family brought a group of people to congratulate the father-in-law and the younger uncle, the old man was a little confused.
With a stiff smile on his face, he praised the eldest daughter-in-law a few words, and generously rewarded the whole house, and after letting the eldest daughter-in-law and others retreat, the old man pointed to the group of colorful people who followed the eldest daughter-in-law in the distance, He asked his son in a trembling voice: "The people behind your sister-in-law are wearing clothes, why don't they look like girls, your sister-in-law is too lenient."
have to!This one has a glimmer of hope.
Taking a good look at the younger son, he saw that the younger son casually glanced at the red flowers, willows and green flowers, and said casually, "Those? Well, they are all from the elder brother's room. The elder sister-in-law is always virtuous, so let's bring them to congratulate."
Old man Ren was dizzy for a while. He knew that his eldest daughter-in-law was virtuous, but his wife sometimes wondered, telling him that she had never seen such a big-bodied woman.He still doesn't take it seriously, isn't it magnanimous?If his wife is generous, his son can live a more comfortable life, which is better than those jealous ones.The wife and concubine in the big house are harmonious, and the eldest son has a good wife and beautiful concubine, he feels very satisfied.
But so much?There are so many?Old man Ren couldn't accept it anymore. Others said that there was a virtuous woman in his family. If he really took those flowers and plants for a walk in front of people, I am afraid that besides the virtuous daughter-in-law, the name of the hungry ghost in the color of his boss would also be the same. out.
Old man Ren stopped in his tracks, he really couldn't have imagined that there were so many people in the eldest son's room, he asked his younger son: "This is too much, what will you do if your elder brother breaks his body?"
Ren Xuejin glanced at his old man strangely, what's the matter, didn't his father always praise his sister-in-law for her talents, because he said: "Why, I don't know what's going on in the elder brother's house, but I heard the girl said that the elder sister-in-law is in good order. And the eldest brother is not that womanly person. Besides, don’t you know, Dad, our house invites Ping An’s pulse every month, and they all say that the elder brother is in good health, and the mother even praised the elder sister-in-law for taking good care of her.”
Old man Ren shook his head and sighed, he understood why his old friend was unwilling to marry his daughter over, and he thought he had asked about it before.If he wanted to rely on him, he would not be willing to marry his daughter to be the youngest daughter-in-law. With the example of the eldest sister-in-law, how much less can the youngest daughter-in-law dare to do. Even if she doesn't want to, he has to force her to do so.
It's a good thing it wasn't his son-in-law's house, if he knew which son-in-law's house was like the elder son's, he would have to make a fuss!Bring the girl home, and ask her mother to take a good look at the girl, is there something wrong with her mind?Bring three more sons to beat up the son-in-law!Don't admit your mistakes and don't correct them?He would rather let his daughter reconcile than let his daughter suffer like this for a lifetime!It's not that his Ren family can't afford to support a daughter, even if his aunt and grandmother are divorced, they can live well!Look at his third aunt, isn't she just remarried and living a happy life, and now she is still in good health, and her children and grandchildren are living well around her knees.
Because of this matter, old man Ren was obviously not as happy as before. In the evening, the eldest daughter-in-law set up the banquet, two tables inside and outside, and a few tables in the courtyard for the decent stewards. The whole family was very satisfied.
Old man Ren drank a few cups of old wine and said he was tired after the banquet. The eldest son and the second son supported each other, while the younger son held a lantern in front of his father and brothers to illuminate their feet, and stood behind Mrs. Ren to massage her hanging shoulders. The big girl in the blue dress lowered her head and said with a smile: "My wife is really lucky. The three masters are all so filial, and my aunt is also married well. I often hear people say that the wife of the Zhang family in Hejian Mansion has a good life, but it is truer than that." , who is more fortunate than you?"
Mrs. Ren tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Look at this clever mouth!"
The girl raised her eyes and smiled generously, "Anyway, I have the confidence, who would refuse to accept and ask those wives and grandmas to raise a son of Master Tan Hua? A family of four outstanding, father and son both Tan Hua, isn't that called a blessing? "
Mrs. Ren was even more happy, and said to the human: "Shui Lan is the best at making me happy."
A circle of daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law were all joking around, and said one after another: "Miss Shuilan is telling the truth. Madam, you are the one who is seated in that lucky seat. This good luck is rolling. It was predetermined in the previous life, so you just Enjoy."
There is only a woman who is about forty years away, dressed in a crab shell and green thong, with a golden plum flower hairpin inserted obliquely on her head, lowering her head and curling her lips indistinctly. Now with honey on his mouth and smiling like a Bodhisattva, he can scratch the little girl's face with his long nails when he turns his head. This little hoof has a high heart. Looking at the situation, he is in love with our Xinke Tanhualang. I want to please my wife. To be the third young master's housekeeper!
Speaking of the third young master, Aunt Fu felt a pain in her heart: obviously her brother Cheng is the third son in the house, and she told the master to adopt him to the poor fourth master's house.The fourth master is quite old, and he is only a sixth-rank foreign official. Her brother Cheng is so tired that he can't come back to Beijing, son?What's the use of a son-in-law, can the son-in-law of the fourth master's family compare with the son-in-law of Shangshufu?It's not because I'm afraid that my wife will feel uncomfortable.
Aunt Fu didn't dare to resent the old lady, but she really hated Shui Lan who said "four outstanding people in one family" to the bottom of her heart.A family of four elites, where does she put her brother in the city?
Shui Lan, who was trying to please Mrs. Ren in every possible way, felt a chill on her back.
People, it's so strange, sometimes a casual sentence can offend people to the grave.
That night, the old man finally waited for Mrs. Ren, who had come back to watch the play, because he said: "Today I know that there are so many people in the boss's house, there are twenty or thirty people. The boss's daughter-in-law is too much, and you too." Leave her alone?"
Mrs. Ren was tired, lying on the bed and said in a daze: "You should pretend that I didn't say it, but you can't say it too plainly, for fear of hurting the daughter-in-law's heart, and also afraid that the daughter-in-law will use that as a shield to punish the boss's housemates." ...Hey, didn't you say that, after all, our son will take advantage of it, and she can do whatever she likes. It's all tens of thousands, go to sleep, ah."
Old man Ren thought the same thing, you can't say this to your wife, it's better to point to the boss, he refused, because the boss said it himself because of his daughter-in-law's temperament that puts her husband first, it must be effective.
From then on, Mrs. Ren went to banquets everywhere to see her daughter-in-law.It's just that the young lady who had a crush on her son felt a little inadequate in such a high school, so she couldn't help being embarrassed.
The next day, old man Ren thought that his youngest son was going to ride a horse to parade through the streets. The most popular parade has always been the handsome Tanhua, so he got up early, thought about it, and went to the courtyard of his youngest son himself. He rushed out to greet her, and a smiling and pretty maid hurriedly closed the curtain.
Old man Ren looked away from the corner of his eye, and went into the study to sit. This time, another girl with tassel and begonia hairpin on her head gracefully brought tea. Old man Ren's brows twitched, and he heard his son say: "Shanlan, Qingfeng, You go down."
Mountain mist, breeze?Old man Ren remembered that it was the eldest daughter-in-law who mentioned the two maids his mother had given him. Suddenly, old man Ren felt a little jealous and didn't say much. He planned to marry his youngest son from the bottom of his heart.The youngest son of the province does not have a serious mistress here, and his sister-in-law spreads her virtues to his uncle.
After the morning, before he had a sip of hot tea, Mrs. Ren said: "Those girls I met before, after thinking about it, they don't match us very well. Today, his sister-in-law said that her natal family has a cousin. He is a good person, and he is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I figured he would be a good match for Jin'er, if you agree, I will ask his sister-in-law to invite the child to his home tomorrow to see each other."
The old man took a sip of tea and choked into his trachea, which made Mrs. Ren jump.
The old man Ren didn't wait for his breath to go smoothly, and said angrily: "Don't do it!"
Mrs. Ren wondered: "Didn't you say to hire a talented woman for our Jin'er? Besides, the eldest daughter-in-law is always virtuous, and her cousin is not much different. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Old man Ren rubbed his heart, but he couldn't say anything unkind about his eldest daughter-in-law, so he could only slow down and say: "The eldest daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Mei Hanlin family. The boss will inherit our branch sooner or later, and he doesn't care whether his wife's family is rich or not. But Jin'er is different, he is a prostitute himself, we just need to work hard on the girl with a rich dowry, his mother, dont you agree?"
After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Ren felt that what the master said was true.
If there is anything that Mrs. Ren is not satisfied with about the eldest daughter-in-law, it is undoubtedly because of what can be called a shabby dowry when she entered the door.Not to mention the dowry that 64 carried that was not filled with boxes, but the furniture in the old courtyard. Except for the babu bed, which is made of huanghuali, the rest is made of camphor wood. Which of the married women in the capital city can stand on the table is not a dowry The mahogany furniture is only fresh from their Mei family, and they use white wood.Mrs. Ren had heard the rumors that the Mei family was extremely patriarchal, and she didn't have an opinion. According to the rules in the north, especially in the capital, aunts and grandparents are all spoiled guests, and they must be pampered. Dating the eldest daughter-in-law is the meaning of the master, and she is unwilling to see the way the Mei family behaves.
Fortunately, the eldest daughter-in-law is a good one, and having such a family makes her feel distressed.
Mrs. Ren thought about this, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the Mei family is poor, so it is not suitable. I will tell the eldest daughter-in-law, I will take a closer look at Jin'er's marriage."
Hearing this, old man Ren was very satisfied.It's just that he didn't expect that at the banquet a few days later, Mrs. Ren's unintentional compliment would cause many twists and turns in his youngest son's marriage.
What Mrs. Ren said was, "My third son's daughter-in-law is as virtuous as his elder sister-in-law, and I am content."
Mrs. Ren didn't realize that with just this sentence, the wives and wives present at that time felt regretful, regretful, and heartbroken...the Ren Xuejin plan was pulled out of the list of Chenglong Kuaishou son-in-law.
