Chapter 490

The next day, Jia Xibei's mother came to visit.

Jia Hongguang has three sons. Jia Xibei's father is the second child. Jia Xibei has an older brother and a younger brother. According to seniority, Wu Changliang wants to call Jia Xibei's parents cousin, so Mrs. Jia and Gao Zhao are of the same generation. Gao Zhao is her cousin.

The Second Mrs. Jia is about the same age as Jiang's, yet they have to address each other as Auntie, which is a bit embarrassing for each other.

Mrs. Jia was not very smooth, and Mrs. Jiang was not very sociable, so the scene was a bit awkward. After finishing the polite words, Mrs. Jia left after saying more rest and maintenance.

Jia Xibei came with her mother, and she stayed to talk to Gao Zhao, who also wanted to ask her something.

Gao Zhao first asked her if she knew about the Tao family. When Jia Xibei heard that Gao Zhao was asking about the Tao family, Jia Xibei's expression changed and he looked mysterious.

"That Tao family, Aunt Zhao, this Tao family is a strange thing. I heard it from my grandmother and my grandfather. My grandmother said it was cursed, and my grandfather said it was bad luck."

Gao Zhao was curious, because of her own reasons, she felt such a mysterious thing about fate, and she couldn't explain it clearly.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

"The Tao family was originally from Hanlin. Today's Hanlin Mansion's Hua family was not as famous as the Tao family before, but who knows that later Tao Hanlin fell in love with a woman from a brothel and insisted on taking a concubine. Mrs. Hanlin agreed, but the condition is that the woman must drink. Juezitang, who knows that after a few years of entering the door, the brothel girl is happy, Tao Hanlin insists on giving birth to this child, Mrs. Hanlin disagrees, saying how her child will have a brother whose biological mother is a brothel girl, so Hanlin Madam forced her to give birth to a brothel girl, but it was a pity that she lost her life because of this. Before she died, the brothel girl said that Mrs. Hanlin should cut off her children and grandchildren, so since then, the Tao family has gradually declined. Mrs. Tao has only one son and two sons, and the husband and wife have passed away. , the two concubines both lived in Tao's house, and their own son was gone. At any rate, Mrs. Tao left two grandsons and two granddaughters. Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson was not engaged when he was 20 years old. The second grandson got married and gave birth. One son and one daughter died after getting sick, and the eldest granddaughter died when she married and gave birth to children. Now the big house only has the second granddaughter-in-law with a son and a daughter, and one granddaughter is unmarried. She is almost twenty, and no one dares to marry."

scare!Gao Zhao was taken aback when he heard that, what kind of unlucky thing is there?

"Don't worry, Aunt Zhao, this house was calculated by my grandfather. It's fine for your family to live in. Otherwise, with the Tao family here, how can my great-aunt let your family move in with confidence? The house my great-uncle found, let my grandfather figure it out after finding it." , I bought it without any problem."

Gao Zhao rolled his eyes, isn't this Prince Qing's mansion?

How did Jia Xibei know that she was leaking, and she didn't know that it was Prince Qing who sent it out. Gao Zhao knew in his heart that it was the princess's family who came forward to look for it, but it was just given to the Gao family by the hand of Prince Qing.

Gao Zhao talked about the woman and a young lady he went to visit that day, and Qiao Yun also said that he wanted to be friends with Lady Tao.

Jia Xibei rolled her eyes several times, but in the end she didn't say anything, because she had no contact with the Tao family, and what she heard was only rumors, so it was hard to say not to associate with them.

Gao Zhao found it strange, but he didn't reject it. Qiaoyun knew it well. If she wanted to date, there must be a reason for her to date her. Besides, the Tao family was not a bad person because of bad luck. Isn't it the same for herself and her senior brother?So why exclude others.

Jia Xibei talked about this year's imperial examination again, and said that this year's Chuanlu is the grandson of the Minister of Rites in Beijing. Just now, the Minister of Rites is crazy, and this grandson is not engaged yet. Now everyone in Beijing is staring at him, look Who does the Li family want to marry.

"Oh! My grandmother is tempted. There is no suitable person in my family. Don't think about the concubines. They are the sons and grandchildren of the family. My grandmother is wondering if there is any suitable person in her natal family."

After finishing speaking, she whispered again: "I heard that the Hua family also wants to marry the Li family. The Hua family is Princess Qing's natal family. It is said that the princess has a niece who is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has the style of the princess when she was young. I Maybe these two can succeed."

Ever since her cousin was burned on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jia Xibei knew that the daughter of the Hua family liked her cousin. She didn't dare to tell Gao Zhao, but she felt so itchy in her heart that she really wanted to say it. It's better not to know than to be upset.

Gao Zhao has never met Princess Qing, and Jia Xibei thinks highly of her, so she feels that the princess is that kind of girl: she was a schoolgirl when she was young, but now she is a wise girl.

Therefore, Gao Zhao felt that the Hua family was the kind of people with great poetic talents. To be honest, she was most afraid of this kind of people, and she was also most afraid of dealing with such people, because she would feel ashamed.

"By the way, what have you been up to, brother?"

Jia Xibei smiled and said, "I can't tell, hee hee! Waiting for my cousin to tell you, anyway, it's a good thing."

"It's still mysterious, what's there to hide?" Gao Zhao muttered, the family really couldn't leave, otherwise he would definitely follow up and see what the senior brother was doing.

"Didn't your cousin get married in March? Why hasn't there been any movement? There won't be any changes, right?" Jia Xibei hurriedly changed the subject, fearing that Gao Zhao would ask.

What Jia Xibei asked was Jiang Shanshan, who originally planned to get married in March, but who knew that a relative in the Wu family passed away in the next year, and Wu Zhongbao, as a nephew, would have to observe filial piety for five months, so the wedding date would be postponed to August.

Why is it that in ancient times, Jiji almost got married quickly, otherwise there were many relatives in the family, and some were unlucky and could delay until [-] without getting married, and the man could not wait to retire the marriage, and there was no engagement and waited for the filial piety period The old and the young can only fill in houses for others.

The eldest aunt Li regretted that she would have liked to get married as soon as possible after the engagement.Originally, this marriage was full of twists and turns, no matter what the reasons were, it was a flaw for a woman to withdraw from the marriage, if there were any problems, even if there was a cousin like Gao Zhao, what good son-in-law could he find?So the Jiang family and the Wu family have agreed to get married in August.

Speaking of filial piety, Wang Jingzhou's filial piety period has not yet passed, and Gao Zhao hasn't seen Jia Xibei's follower for a long time.

"Aunt Zhao, I originally thought that it would be best for you and your cousin to get married in August. Given the situation in your family, you certainly won't get married so early. At least you have to wait until your mother is born. My grandmother said your mother is very lucky. It's funny when I think about it, if you get married earlier, you will have a younger brother who is younger than your son, and when the two little ones are together, one will be an uncle and the other a nephew, it's so funny."

Gao Zhaobai glanced at him and said, "It's easy for you to want one, just ask your mother to give you a younger brother."

Jia Xibei sighed and said: "My mother can't wait, my mother only gave birth to the three of us, it's too little, but I think my mother will give birth to a younger sister if she is born again. Look at your Qiaoyun, I really want to have a sister like you. A younger sister like Qiaoyun."

"To make you an idiot?"

Jia Xibei laughed and said, "Then I am willing too."
