Chapter 696 698. The Hou Family
Mrs. Wu spoke half-truths and half-falsely, and described who attended the banquet that day. These were circles that Hou Cun entered and they couldn't enter.

But as a businessman, he thought more about it, so Hou Cunjin still had doubts, "Master Gu's cousin is really as good as you say?"

If it is true what Yunniang said, then the Li family is obviously not enough.

A crumbling family, compared with a thriving third-rank official, even a fool would know how to choose.

"If it's not that good, you think Mr. Gu will bring people by his side, it's not to smash his own brand.

Besides, I'm Tim'er's real aunt, I didn't find out clearly, do you dare to lead those cats and dogs to her? "

Mrs. Wu glared unceremoniously at her elder brother, the one in front of her, whose eyes seemed to be blurred by something, who still took the Li family seriously.

It's fine if you want to help the poor yourself, there is no need to bring your own daughter.

"If it's like what you said, it's better than the Li family boy." As a businessman, Hou Cunjin saw more from it.

With such an in-law, it will be much more useful for him to walk outside than his brother-in-law's name card.

Moreover, Mrs. Gu, as an imperial merchant, if she really gets involved, the business of the Hou family will be much easier in the future.

He rubbed his fingers and finally made up his mind, "Yunniang, how sure is this marriage?"

Mrs. Wu, "I just came out of the ancient mansion. Mrs. Gu should want to investigate and think about it. This is an opportunity for our mansion. You have to let me let that good sister-in-law take care of the people below. Don't be dirty. Smelly spray."

Hou Cunjin, "Your sister-in-law is not such a person, you have misunderstood her too much.

Don't mess around every time you come back. "

After listening to this for a long time, Mrs. Hou scolded, "If she is really this good, she will treat Tian'er as if she doesn't exist for so many years.

In the past, it was okay to have you protecting her, but now the family rules really need to be enforced.

For so many years, she did not hold a concubine ceremony in front of her first wife's memorial tablet, which made her forget that she was just a stepmother.

Although our family is gradually declining now, some old rules still have to be picked up. "

Mrs. Hou is also beating. She used to only think about family and prosperity, but now that she can make the family go further, it is impossible for her to yearn for the same peace as before.

"In the past, there was a reason," Hou Cunjin said in a loud voice, which made him have no confidence.

Li Shi always finds various reasons to go to the ancestral hall during the holidays. He had some guesses in his heart, but he thought it was nothing important, so he followed her.

The old lady Hou said with a downcast face, "I told you early today, no matter what this year, even if she breaks her leg, she will be dragged by me.

I don't believe you haven't heard a little gossip over the years. Someone in the family has been paying attention to it. She thinks that she can deny that she is a stepmother by avoiding it like this? "

Hou Cunjin quickly changed the subject, "Mother, let's not talk about that now.

Hurry up and send someone out first to inquire about the character of Mr. Gu's cousin and his family. If it is suitable, we will settle the marriage. "

"That's what a father said." Madam Hou's expression improved a bit, "You know a lot of people outside, and you, a father, should do something for your children. Remember to inquire clearly. If there is anything That’s not right, let’s have a talk.”

After all, Mrs. Hou still loves the child she brought up alone, and she is not in a hurry to finalize the marriage.

&

Before they started to act, Ming Hai and Xu Dawang had already dispatched a large number of people.

Whether it's the in-laws of the Hou family or his neighbors, there are people who are asking around.

When Gu Wenheng returned to the mansion, he saw the two of them talking in the side hall, and when they saw him coming in, they stood aside with their hands down.

Gu Wenheng raised his hand to signal them to continue, walked to Jin Qianqian and sat down to listen together.

Both of them relayed the news summarized below one by one, and Jin Qianqian also got a general idea.

When Hou Tian'er was three years old, Mrs. Hou was ill and couldn't stand it in the end.

One year after her death, Hou Cunjin remarried the current Li family.

The old Mrs. Hou felt sorry for Hou Tian'er who lost her mother when she was young, and brought him to her side to raise him herself, without letting Mrs. Li touch her hands at all.

It may also be because of this reason that Li Shi hated him, and in the years to come, he really didn't care about it.

Even under her influence, even Uncle Hou gradually neglected his own daughter.

This time Mrs. Wu was so anxious to help her find her husband's family because Mrs. Hou accidentally heard the news that someone was proposing marriage to Mrs. Hou Li.

Hou Li's two sons and one daughter are still young, so they don't know who they are relatives.

This was a hole in the sky of the Hou family. The old lady Hou who loved her granddaughter couldn't sit still, so she immediately found her own daughter to find a way.

The Wuhou family has always been sympathetic to this eldest niece, and even did not hesitate to intercept the marriage that their master wanted to give to the concubine, which is why the latter happened.

As for the character of this Miss Hou, there is nothing wrong with it.

Most of the time, I eat fast and chant Buddha with the old lady, or become a female celebrity with the embroiderer, and I don't seem to have any hobbies on weekdays.

Jin Qianqian turned to look at Gu Wenheng, "It doesn't sound like a problem, but it sounds like living an old man's life."

Gu Wenheng said to Xu Dawang, "Let someone go and check carefully, besides being filial to the old lady, do you have any friends on weekdays? How do you get along with other people?"

Jin Qianqian, "The current situation is like this, or let them ask Gu Yi, this is a lifelong event, we are not relatives, it is better to ask them."

Gu Wenheng, "This is what it should be. If you think it's inappropriate, you can directly refuse it at that time. Don't rush at this moment."

Jin Qianqian nodded in agreement, but didn't know that they were not in a hurry, but the Hou family was in a hurry.

Mrs. Li was also talking to Hou Cunjin at this moment, "Master, I have already agreed with my natal family. You suddenly changed your mind. How should I explain when I go back?"

"I've already decided on this matter. You can push it away from the Li family." Hou Cunjin can accommodate other matters, but it is related to the future of the family, so he has to think more about it.

"Why did this go back and forth?" Mrs. Li was anxious, "My natal sister-in-law is ready to find a matchmaker, and all the etiquette is ready..."

"You go back and explain it to them carefully. Besides, we didn't agree to this matter, and the matchmaker didn't come to the door. This matter has never been left behind." Hou Cunjin explained to her patiently, "If Tian'er's marriage is really done, we will be married in the future. It is also a help for Da'er and the others."

In her heart, Li didn't take it seriously, she was not born with the same mother. In these years, she could say that she didn't care about Hou Tian'er, and it would be good if she didn't hold grudges. How could she help her child.
