After the fiancé was cut off by the county owner

Chapter 13 Choosing a Son-in-law
Although Mrs. Jiang drove Qi Juemin out and strictly prohibited him from visiting the house again, Mrs. Qi still became seriously ill because of his arrival.

Half of them are angry at him, and the other half are overwhelmed with worry.

Daughter Qi Tanying is seventeen years old, but her marriage has not been settled. Qi Juemin already knows that she and the Jiang family have divorced.He has always valued face the most. That day when my sister kicked him out in front of everyone, he must have held a grudge.

I don't know what bad idea will come up again.

In the eyes of Mrs. Qi, the Qi family in Wuzhou is a bunch of mad dogs. As long as it is profitable, they will never let go of any opportunity.They look down on women, but they have to rely on women to prosper their families.

Just like the grandmother of Wugu, the elder brother of Erfang, who had to marry a squire who was over [-] years old as his step-wife because her elder brother caused trouble, and was tortured to death in the end.The squire was afraid that his family would cause trouble, so he paid a large sum of money to settle the matter.

Grandma Wugu's elder brother and the family got the money, so the matter was over.

The sister-in-law of the third room, Mrs. Lian, had no children under her knees after the death of her husband, Mrs. Lian, so she could have gone back to her natal family to remarry.Her husband's family coveted her dowry and was forced to adopt an heir who was only one year younger than her.

When the heir grew up, he not only seized Uncle Lian's family property, swallowed up his adoptive mother's dowry, and finally drove his adoptive mother out of the house.The heir has benefited the clan, and apart from the third uncle, Qi Weimin, there is no one in the clan to say a word of justice for Sister-in-law Lian.

There is also Qi Shisanniang, because she has no father and no mother, she can only be sent to the spring election as a pawn by them. If she is selected, she will be trapped in the palace wall for the rest of her life, not only not free, but also working for the family.

Mrs. Qi made up her mind that she must not let her daughters repeat their tragic fate.

So she took her sick body and went to Jiang's house to look for Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang was also looking for her. She had been worrying about Qi Tanying's marriage for the past few days, and finally found a few who were still acceptable.

She asked the servant girl to take the portraits, "There are a few good ones right now, come and have a look."

Mrs. Qi followed her gaze, and Mrs. Jiang said: "This is He Hongguang, the nephew of the doctor of the Ministry of Rites. This year, his parents died young and he grew up with his uncle's family. His uncle has no children, and he will inherit the He family in the future. He also has a reputation as a scholar."

"Square face with bulbous nose, and a sausage mouth, only five feet tall, short and ugly, not suitable for my family, Ah Tan." Mrs. Qi's face was not very good-looking.

Mrs. Jiang put away He Hongguang's portrait when she heard the words, and then unfolded the second one, "This person's name is Yan Li, he is 30 years old, and he is currently serving as the Chancellor of Dali Temple. His family has a simple population, only an old mother and a concubine."

Mrs. Qi shook her head: "This official rank, appearance and height are not bad, but he is a bit older. Also, he takes concubines first and wives later, which always makes people feel a little uncomfortable."

Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything, and then unfolded the third portrait, "His name is Lin Shixun. He is 19 years old this year. He was born in the Lin family of the imperial merchant. He is the youngest son in the family. He has been loved by his parents since he was a child. There is nothing wrong with him, except that he has a slightly violent temper. .”

Mrs. Qi was still dissatisfied, "Although he has the emperor character, he is still a merchant. Besides, he has a bad temper, what if he beats someone after marriage?"

Mrs. Jiang patiently introduced other candidates. After talking for a long time, Mrs. Qi was not satisfied with any of them.

Looking at those portraits, she couldn't help complaining: "Sister, A Tan is your niece, can you not find some crooked melons and dates to make up for?"

Mrs. Jiang put the portrait aside, and said angrily, "Not this one, nor that one. What kind of son-in-law do you want?"

She took great pains to make arrangements for her niece, entrusting her relationship with others, and owed favors. Her sister still felt that she hadn't done her best.

If it wasn't for the fact that she still felt a little guilty about her niece, she really wanted to quit.

After taking a sip of tea to moisten her throat, Mrs. Jiang picked out Yan Li's portrait, "Although this person is a bit older, he is at least a sixth-rank Beijing official. A Tan was the wife of an official when he married."

"But he has a concubine at home."

Mrs. Jiang said disapprovingly: "What's wrong with having a concubine? Not to mention other families in the capital, just take your brother-in-law, the second and third householders as examples, who doesn't have one or two concubines? If everyone is like you If you choose a son-in-law, all the girls in the world will not be able to get married."

But your son, Brother Liang, doesn't have one!Mrs. Qi retorted in her heart.

Mrs. Jiang went on to say: "I've already inquired about it. Yan Li's concubine is the same age as him, and looks average. She seldom goes to Yan Li on weekdays, and only focuses on taking care of his wife."

"Our A Tan is not only good-looking, but also a housekeeper and director. Is it comparable to that concubine who was born in the countryside?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Qi felt a little more at ease, and she asked, "Is his mother Yan Li a good friend?"

Mrs. Jiang said: "All the neighbors say that she is a kind-hearted and good person. Her reputation is so good, so she should not be a wife-in-law."

Mrs. Qi was still worried, "Sister, please send someone to inquire again. If there is nothing wrong with Yan Li, let A Tan meet him."

Mrs. Jiang naturally agreed.

She thought that men know men best, so she planned to let her son Jiang Liangyu come out to meet Yan Li for a while, and then Jiang Liangyu knew that her mother and aunt were picking a husband for her cousin.

But he didn't know Yan Li, so in order to complete the task assigned by his mother, he had to ask Wu Han for help.Wu Han is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Yan Li is Wu Han's subordinate, Jiang Liangyu feels that he should find the right person.

Wu Han was very surprised when his friend asked him about his subordinate without any warning, "This person is a good hand at handling cases, he has a good method of doing things, and he is very popular."

Unexpectedly, Wu Han's evaluation of Yan Li was quite high, Jiang Liangyu silently wrote down these words.

Wu Han asked casually, "What are you doing asking about this?" This is not like his usual style.

Jiang Liangyu smiled, "Entrusted by others."

Wu Han jokingly said: "Is there anyone who will fall in love with Yan Li and want to marry his daughter?" After speaking, he nudged him with his elbow, "Tell me, which family's girl is it?"

Jiang Liangyu glanced at him, and it was the first time that he found that his friend had the temperament of a aunt and a wife.

"Her family is related to my Jiang family by marriage."

"A relative of the Jiang family?" Wu Han thought of a family, "I remember that the eldest daughter of your aunt's family just reached the age of Ji this year. Although her family has fallen into ruin, she is not low enough to marry, right?"

"Not her."

"Could it be a relative of Sanfang?" If it is really Sanfang, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult.Mrs. Jiang San's natal family is a merchant. If it weren't for the family's financial difficulties, who would want to marry a merchant's daughter?

Jiang Liangyu saw that his friend misunderstood, and thought that he would have to trouble Wu Han to get in touch with him in the future. After a little consideration, he said: "It has nothing to do with the third room, it's the cousin of the long room. Speaking of which, you also met her once."

After hearing this, a beautiful and gentle face instantly appeared in Wu Han's mind.

It turned out to be her.

He asked in a light tone: "Although Yan Li is good, but he is a bit older, Miss Qi doesn't mind?"

Jiang Liangyu suddenly remembered what his mother, Mrs. Jiang said: It's okay for a man to be older, but older ones will love others even more.Old couples and young wives are better, so as to prevent men from being confused by the flowers and plants outside.
