Chapter 252
Listening to her daughter's crying, Mrs. Liu felt very uncomfortable. She really owed her elder daughter a lot.Back then, the elder daughter's marriage was a child marriage between her husband and an old friend of his, because that old friend had helped her husband a lot in the early years, so even if Mrs. Liu was reluctant, she could only accept this marriage.

In the early years, the He family's family was fairly decent. Although they were not rich and powerful, they had no worries about food and clothing. But since Mrs. He passed away, the He family has been worsening day by day, and Mrs. He does not want her children and grandchildren to separate. Then he guarded the whole family, and all the money was firmly held in his own hands.

Mrs. He Liu married the second son of the He family. The second son was a sour scholar who couldn't lift his shoulders or hands. He looked talented when he was young, but he was still a poor scholar after ten years of examination. Life in this house is naturally very difficult, if He Liu's family hadn't given birth to a vigorous son, life in He's family would have been even more difficult.

Mrs. Liu has always felt guilty about her eldest daughter. Whenever her daughter came to ask for help, she would help her a little or two. There are married daughters who keep going back to their natal family to ask for money.

Mrs. Liu was also very troubled by this matter for a while, and she also wanted to be cruel and not help her daughter, but every time she saw her tearful face, she couldn't bear it anymore, and then she thought of a way to get the best of both worlds , It is to let the grandson marry his granddaughter with a child, so that they will be a family in the future, and the daughter-in-law will not have any complaints about helping her daughter.

She mentioned this to her daughter at the time, and her daughter was very willing, but she just wanted to wait until the children were older before deciding on this matter.Mrs. Liu also suffered from a heart attack because of this, but when the two children were grown up, she brought up the matter again, but her daughter began to falter, and every time the marriage was mentioned, the topic would be brought up to other things.After He Zheng was selected as a scholar, she never mentioned the marriage between the two families.

Mrs. Liu was very annoyed by this for a while. She originally planned to ration her eldest granddaughter, sister Ying, to her grandson. Although sister Ying is two years older than brother Zheng, sister Ying has a steady temper and can just take care of her temper. Brother Zheng is a bit offbeat, but her daughter is not sure about getting married for a long time, and sister Ying is getting older. She has no choice but to find another suitable family for her granddaughter.

Sister Ying's marriage must come to an end, so He and Liu came to the house with her son again, and after this stay, she lived with her mother's parents, saying that she would wait until the end of the autumn next year before going back to her home.

Of course Mrs. Liu disagreed. She originally wanted her daughter to go home quickly, but she couldn't bear to drive her away when she cried and begged her. Besides, she was concerned about her grandson's face, so she could only reluctantly let her daughter go home. live down.

Seeing that her daughter wanted her grandson to be admitted to Bailu Academy, she became angry and asked coldly, "I told you last time about the marriage between Sister Dan and Brother Zheng. What do you do?" want?"

The expression on He Liu's face changed, and he immediately lowered his eyebrows and said, "Mother, I asked the Bodhisattva in the temple before, and the master in the temple said that brother Zheng should not marry early in life."

After this sentence, what else could Liu say, but he became more and more annoyed in his heart, and said lightly: "You don't want Brother Zheng to marry early, I don't think Brother Zheng himself means that, he sees you these days Tian'er ran to Ah Xin's house, although it was under the guise of asking Ang Geer for advice, but Ang Geer's level, can the two of them get together for advice? You mother, you should beat him well, let him focus on his studies, and stop thinking about what he has and what he doesn't have."

Mrs. Liu's words were already very obvious. Mrs. He Liu couldn't understand the meaning, and her face immediately became ugly. She also heard some rumors a few days ago, and asked her son at that time, but his son swore that it was Went to Sanbo Xin's house to ask for advice, nothing else, she also believed in her son, but told him not to go again, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes, but now that the mother has said so, it seems that the son is with her Lied.

Mrs. He Liu couldn't sit still anymore, so she got up and said, "Brother Zheng is about to come back now, I'll go and see him, mother, don't worry, I'll write down what you said, what you're worried about It will never happen."

Liu's face finally eased up a bit, nodded and said: "Brother Zheng, since you don't want to get married right now, you should study hard. If you really win the Juren next year, the 16-year-old Juren, let alone our Zhangshui Town Even if it is the first one in the state capital, I am afraid that the magistrates and prefects will know that we have brother Zheng, and then the future will be limitless."

Mrs. Liu has great expectations for her grandson. Although her grandson is not bad at school, he is still inferior to her grandson. If her grandson can go smoothly in his official career, it will be a great benefit to his grandson. With the help of these two juniors, whether the family can change their family depends on these two juniors.

She just said that the marriage between Sister Dan and Brother Zheng was just to scare her daughter. She really never thought about marrying her second granddaughter to her grandson. If they help, it will also slow him down, then it is not a marriage, but an enmity.

Mrs. He Liu came out of Mrs. Liu's house, and went to his son's study in a hurry. It happened that his son came back with a book boy. Seeing his son's happy face, he asked calmly, "What's the matter?" Where did you go, so happy?"

He Zheng immediately suppressed the smile on his face, and replied nonchalantly: "It's nothing, it's just that I just discussed the article with the gentleman in the ethnology, and the discussion started."

Mrs. He Liu did not continue to ask, just smiled and said: "You are also tired from being outside this day, go in and wash your face, change your clothes, and go to your grandmother's for dinner in a while. Today, the kitchen has stewed chicken soup. How much do you want?" Drink a few bowls and make up for it."

He Zheng nodded, and went into the back room to change clothes.Seeing him go in, Mrs. He Liu asked the book boy next to him with a straight face, "Where did the young master go today? If you dare to tell a lie, I will find someone to sell you immediately!"

The book boy was usually very afraid of young mistress, but now he was threatened by her, so he dared not hide anything, and immediately replied: "Master went to Master Ang's house today, and the two talked for a long time together."

When He Liushi heard this, his complexion became more and more ugly, and he asked again: "Did you meet other people, such as the lady in the house?"
