The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 637 Unbelievable Xu Family ([-])

After understanding Hu Nanny's thoughts, Su Yunduo really felt relieved.

Su Yunduo did feel Hu Nanny's reluctance, but he didn't feel malice or hatred from her, so that's good.

Nanny Hu is just a hard-working woman, let her spend more time with Nanny Ding, and Nanny Ding's open-mindedness may broaden Nanny Hu's heart.

Of course, this matter is not urgent, it is best to take it slowly.

On the contrary, the Xu family, which is Lu Jinkang's family, disliked Su Yunduo very much.

Although Zisu didn't comment much on the Xu family's way of doing things, Su Yunduo understood from her description why Lu Jinkang rarely mentioned the Xu family, and was not close to the Xu family's uncles.

Although most of the dowry maids in this era are the backup of concubines and concubines for men, the Xu family not only prepares a house for the son-in-law when the daughter is married, but also gives them to the son-in-law when the daughter is pregnant in the name of the daughter's good. Su Yunduo said he couldn't accept Tongfang's behavior, so he was especially displeased.

As a woman, Su Yunduo really finds it hard to believe that Mrs. Xu is really willing to share her husband with other women. She agrees to Hu Nanny's marriage is always a strong proof.

She and Madam Hu not only have the grace of life, they have been together for nearly ten years, and they have a bit of sisterly affection. Such a person is definitely more beneficial to the big Xu family than the other room that the Xu family prepared.

But Mrs. Xu allowed Hu Nanny to marry another marriage, and did not hesitate to give Hu Nanny a good dowry.

But the Xu family gave Lu Da another woman when she was pregnant.

This person is the biological mother of the second son Lu Jinzhen and the eldest daughter Lu Yuhua, Pei Shi.

Su Yunduo couldn't imagine how Mrs. Xu felt when her own mother brought Mrs. Pei to her, especially when she learned that Mrs. Pei was pregnant within three months after she opened her face.

She felt that if she couldn't bear it no matter what.

Mrs. Xu, who is too old, not only opened up for Mrs. Bei according to her natal family's wishes, but also raised Mrs. Mrs. Bei as a concubine before she gave birth to Lu Jinzhen, becoming Lu Da's first concubine.

Su Yunduo affirmed that the reason why Mrs. Xu had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to Lu Jinkang was not only because of her young age, but also because of Pei Shi.

This is probably an important reason why Lu Jinkang and Lu Jinzhen brothers are not close.

Speaking of the Xu family in the capital city, they can be regarded as a famous family of the Zanying family, but now they are declining day by day, so they can't help but hold on to the in-laws of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

The ancestors of the Xu family were also prominent for a while, whether it was the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, there were many first- and second-rank officials.

Da Xu's grandfather, Xu Yu, was a second-rank official, and he was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Therefore, even though Da Xu was also married to a high-ranking family, he was considered well-matched.

It's just that since Xu Yu died of a serious illness when he was one step away from entering the cabinet, the Xu family began to deteriorate. The Xu family can be regarded as worse than the previous generation.

Xu Mingsheng, Lu Jinkang's grandfather, worked hard all his life, but stayed at the fourth rank and tried his best to advance.

Among Lu Jinkang's uncles, except for his elder uncle Xu Rujiang, who was born as a Jinshi, and now works as a member of the fifth rank in the Ministry of Rites, the other uncles are all disadvantaged in their careers.

The second uncle, Xu Ruhai, is a sixth-rank by relying on Enyin, but he is just doing idle work and has no real power.

The third uncle, Xu Ruhu, was a concubine, and he knew that the resources in his family could not be given to him, so after he was selected as a scholar, he gave up his career and turned to take care of family affairs.

The fourth uncle, Xu Rubo, is an old man who was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child. Now in his early thirties, he is still only a scholar, but he has become a gnawing old man in this era.

As for Lu Jinkang's cousins, there are not many outstanding ones. If you can't write well, you can't do martial arts. It's no wonder that Lu Jinkang doesn't like to mention it in front of Su Yunduo for such a disappointing Xu family.

According to Zisu, since Xu's family used the excuse of taking care of Lu Jinkang to promote the marriage between little Xu and Lu Da, Lu Jinkang, who was originally not close to Xu's family, was even more reluctant to get close to Xu's family.

How could Lu Jinkang like such a family who maintained their relationship by giving his son-in-law a room and a concubine? !
Based on Su Yunduo's understanding of Lu Jinkang, perhaps since Lu Jinkang was sensible, he disliked Xu's family very much, but because of Xu's face, he had to go to Xu's house during the holidays.

Mrs. Lu once told Su Yunduo about the town government's affairs, so naturally she must involve Lu Jinkang's attitude towards the Xu family.

According to Mrs. Lu, Lu Jinkang seldom went to Xu's house after the death of Mrs. Xu, even during holidays.

Naturally, Su Yunduo would not persuade Lu Jinkang to get close to such a family. If Lu Jinkang needed her to associate with the Xu family, then she would follow Lu Jinkang's wishes.

Seeing that the time passed by the three quarters of Shen Shi, Su Yunduo tidied up, changed her clothes, and asked Zisu to wear the bright red cloak, and then prepared to take Zisu and Baikui to Zhenghe Hall, after thinking about it Then asked Zisu to fetch a cloak for Lu Jinkang.

The weather at the end of September is indeed a bit cold at night.

The wing room in the front yard of Xiaofeng Court.

Mother Hu is teaching Hongdou a lesson: "Don't say such things in the future! Grandma has accepted the account, if we don't go to the warehouse to check the account, then we have to be more careful. Now the grandma is sending Zisu and that A maid named Bai will check the accounts with you and put everything on the bright side, this is the bearing of a grandma."

Hongdou came to serve Xiaofengyuan after Zisu was given to Su Yunduo by Lu Jinkang, but she never had the chance to serve Lu Jinkang up close, so she could only fight with Nanny Hu.

However, before Lu Jinkang got married, Hongdou was the only maid with a rank in Xiaofengyuan, and because her sweet mouth was very popular with Hu Humao, she could be regarded as an existence in Xiaofengyuan who wanted wind and rain.

When Su Yunduo first came to Beijing, he would come to the Zhen Guogong Mansion as a guest. Hongdou once "met" Zisu in the yard, and there seemed to be some small friction between the two, but Zisu didn't take it seriously, and even bothered. Never told Su Yunduo.

Some things have turned upside down within 30 years of Hedong. A few months after Hongdou "meeted" Zisu, there was an imperial decree to marry Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo. Hongdou was shocked, but had to Envious of Shisu's good luck.

"Grandma grew up in the country, how much does she know? I'm afraid she can't even understand the accounts!" Hong Dou couldn't help but pouted.

"Shut up! No matter how ignorant you are, don't stay in Xiaofengyuan as an errand, or let your old lady lead you out to make a match, so that you don't lose your life when you get it and don't know it!" Mother Hu He shouted in a deep voice.

Hongdou was shocked, her family was not the son of the Zhen Guogong's family, but Da Xu's companion room, and my mother was not able to serve in the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion, and had been begging for a living in the Daxu's dowry village.

Because of a chance encounter, the delicate and clever Hongdou caught Hu's eyes, and Hu was transferred to Xiaofengyuan as an errand, and because she lost face in front of Hu, her old lady was promoted to the vegetable farm in the southern suburbs. Erzhuangtou.

If I let Lao Zi Niang take her back like this, Hong Dou knew very well that her best end would be to be married to a boy in the village, then she would have to be like Lao Zi Niang as a mud leg for the rest of her life.

"Mom, please forgive me, don't dare to talk nonsense again, Hongdou is going to take care of Mammy's old age." Hongdou tightly grasped Mammy Hu's sleeve and said in a half-shocked and half-coquettish way.

"Clean up all the twists and turns in your mind, this is the last time I warn you, there will be no next time!" Mother Hu was not willing to let Hongdou leave, she just stared at Hongdou with cold eyes. .

Hong Dou blinked her eyes and watched Hu Momo repeatedly nodding in agreement, but no one knew what she was thinking.
