Chapter 440 Erlang Marriage (2)
Now, the two sons have obtained fame and fame, and there is no excuse to delay their marriage. Besides, at their age, if they are placed on others, they probably would have been able to be fathers long ago.

The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the more anxious she became. She thought that the second son was already seventeen years old, and he was only three years away from the weak crown. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, he would marry him. If you take office, then this matter will have to be delayed.

However, for such a big matter, Mrs. Li didn't have any idea, so she wanted to find someone to calculate it together, but Widow Zheng stayed in the capital and didn't come back. Even if you want to find someone, it is not so easy to find someone. The eldest daughter has been married for another year.

In this way, there was only a little girl left, who could still say something. After thinking about it, Li called Lin Xiaoqiao over.

Lin Xiaoqiao was originally staying in her room, playing backgammon with two maids, Lvzhu and Lvju, when she heard Li Shi calling her, she threw a chess piece over.

After learning about Mrs. Li's plan, Lin Xiaoqiao said with a smile on his face, "This matter is not easy, mother just needs to find a few more matchmakers to come over and tell us about our family's plan to marry our second brother a wife." Let the wind out, it will be done. Anyway, the second elder brother is also a favorite now, and there are many people who want to marry our family, so why not worry about finding a daughter-in-law?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Li shot her a look, and said, "I'm talking about your second brother's lifelong event. You, a girl, can you take care of me! Can the matchmaker's words be trusted? Only They can boast that they are very good in places that are half good, so how can they pick out the really suitable candidates?"

Lin Xiaoqiao was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Mrs. Li would be so pessimistic about matchmakers. In ancient times, didn't they all practice "the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers?" Did you tell the matchmaker?"

Mrs. Li replied in this way, "Mother married your father back then, which was what the matchmaker said. I still remember that the matchmaker praised your father like a flower, especially when she said that your grandma has a temper. Well, Mrs. Liu is such a kind sister-in-law. Anyway, she just said that the Lin family is very good. Marrying is a blessing. But after I got married, I realized that it was not the case at all! I think back then, when I was bullied by your grandma and Mrs. Liu, your grandma didn’t know how many times she scolded the matchmaker behind her back!" Then he said, "Oh, my mother was a bit extreme just now, and not everyone All matchmakers are like that, the one who proposed to me back then was not a serious matchmaker, but a rough country woman who used the name of a matchmaker to make a living."

Hearing these words, Lin Xiaoqiao was amused and felt sorry for Mrs. Li. A simple and kind woman, she had decided the rest of her life just by relying on a few words from the matchmaker. If she hadn't met her by chance After passing through, Li's life must be suffering day by day, so let's get through it.

"If you don't care about the matchmaker, why don't we come to find a wife by ourselves? I heard that when the rich families in the capital want to marry their sons a wife, they will hold a flower viewing party, a tea party or something. Post a post and invite all the young ladies from well-matched families to meet their daughters-in-law at the banquet, so we can do the same!" Lin Xiaoqiao suggested.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li's eyes brightened, "That's a good idea. At that time, I can let your second brother secretly take a look and see which one catches his eye."

After saying this, she seemed to think of something again, and said with a sad face, "Alas—speaking of which, mother is thinking of the daughter-in-law that your elder brother ordered again."

Lin Xiaoqiao was a little strange, "What's wrong with the elder brother's daughter-in-law? Isn't it very good?" Thinking that Mrs. Li has not seen her eldest daughter-in-law until now, could it be that she is worried about the character of the daughter-in-law here, "Mom, is it doubtful?" Is sister-in-law's character?"

"How could this be? Your Aunt Zheng saw it with her own eyes. Don't others believe it, don't you believe in your Aunt Zheng's vision?" Then he looked up at his daughter, and then said, "Mother just thinks that you The status of eldest brother's daughter-in-law is too expensive, and when it comes to your second brother, mother doesn't know where to find him a daughter-in-law of similar status!"

"Where did you say that?" Lin Xiaoqiao felt that he couldn't keep up with Li's thinking, and couldn't figure out what to worry about.

It was a hot day, and after saying a few words, I became thirsty. I touched the teapot, but the water in it was still hot. Lin Xiaoqiao took a peach from the fruit bowl on the table, bit it, and took another. Pass it to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li shook her head and didn't answer. Seeing her daughter's incomprehensible expression, she sighed and replied, "They are all sons, and mothers can't treat one more favorably than the other. Your elder brother said that a daughter-in-law with such a valuable status is not good." Let’s pick someone with a low status for your second brother. Besides, even if your second brother has no idea, what will they think if the two daughters-in-law come in?” Seeing her daughter’s bewildered expression, he continued, "Oh——you are still young, you don't understand the things between these sisters-in-law! A family of sisters-in-law will always compare their family background and dowry. Mother is worried. If you find an identity for your second brother Generally speaking, when a new daughter-in-law comes in in the future, she will inevitably feel that she has lowered her head, and then it will be bad. Back then, your mother and your aunt were always angry with Mrs. Liu, and your grandma always favored Mrs. Liu. Isn't it because her dowry is more than ours, and her natal family is richer than ours?"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao finally understood and understood that her own mother was worried about her future second sister-in-law, fearing that she would be wronged.

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoqiao also has to sigh, the kindness of his own mother, in this society where mother-in-law is bigger than the sky, how can there be a mother-in-law who thinks about her daughter-in-law like Li, think about it, Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't help but feel lucky for his two future sister-in-laws!

"I think my mother's worries are purely excessive. The two elder brothers work in different places, and they will have fewer chances to meet in the future. As long as my mother doesn't have the idea of ​​keeping my daughter-in-law by her side, my future The two sisters-in-law will definitely not live together. Besides, I don't know what the second sister-in-law will be like in the future. Anyway, I have met the elder brother's daughter-in-law twice. That Miss Wen San is a concubine herself. Girl, she has a gentle and gentle temperament, and she doesn't seem to be someone who will find trouble." Lin Xiaoqiao thought for a while, and then persuaded her.

Mrs. Li listened, with a deep thought on her face, and after a while, she slowly said, "According to what you said, I really think too much."

Lin Xiaoqiao nodded without hesitation, "If mother still has concerns, after the two brothers get married, we should just separate the family! Both brothers are filial, but mother should not ask too much, once the son After getting married, you will have your own small family and your own children. No matter how filial you are to your mother, you will inevitably not be able to take care of them. It is better to separate them out early. People say that far away is fragrant, and close Does it stink? Every year or two in the future, the big guys will gather together. And, to be honest, this daughter-in-law is not my daughter after all, she is not a family member, and her heart is not close If you live together for a long time, there will inevitably be a lot of friction and grievances. Instead of having conflicts in the future and getting along unhappy, it is better to get acquainted and separate! If mother wants a son, go to the eldest brother and the second brother Live there for a while, and the two sister-in-laws will be even more in love with your mother. If not, don’t you still have Brother An, and you won’t look lonely by watching over your younger brother in the future.”
