Full of food and color

Chapter 153
Mrs. Wu led her into the room with a smile, and when she was settled, she went out and brought a pot of tea into the room, poured tea for her, and then sat down beside her. When the matchmaker came to the door, I was not used to chatting with her, so I was looking forward to getting straight to the point, so I smiled and said, "Auntie is talking about Sister Baozhu, right? Xiujuan is still young, and the marriageable ones in the room can only be married." She's alone."

Mrs. Li nodded, and asked: "I heard that she lives in the county with her cousin's house? Do you have a marriage contract?"

Wu smirked and asked back: "I'm only thirteen this year, and my parents are not in a hurry. Where has there been any marriage contract? As for her cousin, this year he passed the examination of scholar, and he will enter a provincial school in the future. After thinking about it, there was a little displeasure on her face, "A girl who has not left the court values ​​innocence more than anything else. Baozhu lives in her aunt's house all day long, and she is not very close to her cousin. Just some brotherhood."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she was secretly surprised. Seeing that the girl was not very old, she thought that this would be a good opportunity to avoid other people talking to her alone. According to Madam, if the girl doesn't Honestly, the marriage will be over.Unexpectedly, her sister-in-law has a soft and weak face, but she is not easy to fool.

Thinking about asking around in the village just now, the neighbors have a very good opinion of Chen Baozhu, so I feel at ease.

Then he smiled and shook his head, "The Helan family has a big family business, and the wife's family law is also very strict. If it wasn't for Miss Baozhu's innocence, why would she send me to tell you?" : "I just heard Madam mention that the little brother in front went to the county government for his sister. I'm afraid that the two parents have the intention of getting married, so I asked in advance."

"Auntie is more appropriate." Wu smiled faintly, "The two families naturally have no intention of getting married. Speaking of cousin, he is also a high-minded person. His heart is in official career, and he will also find a good family in the future. The elders of the two parties already knew what he was thinking, so how could he have those thoughts?"

After finishing talking, he refilled her tea and said with a smile, "Auntie, can you rest assured this time?"

Mrs. Li praised her with a smile, "Young lady can talk like this, why is my old woman worried?"

She cleared her throat, and continued to speak seriously: "In terms of money, the Helan family has been running the largest pawnshop in the city for a few years, two jade and gold and silver shops. There are dozens of facades, and you can't enjoy the money for the rest of your life just by eating and renting. The girl married from the county, and the situation in Helan's house should have been heard a little bit. If Baozhu can marry into Helan's house, it will be considered A very good marriage."

Having said that, Mrs. Li paused for a moment, glanced at Mrs. Wu's face, and saw that although her face was calm, her hands were tightly clenched, she must have been moved, and then she smiled again: "The master and madam of the family are also generous. You are kind, Master Helan needless to say, Bao Zhu also knows him, he has helped Bao Zhu a lot, and this year he also passed the examination of a scholar."

Mrs. Wu knew that what Mrs. Li said was the truth. After all these years in the county, who doesn't know the Helan family?As she listened to her talk, she became more and more happy in her heart. Ever since she met Baozhu for the first time, she had been somewhat repulsed by this younger sister. After she got married, she would listen to her father-in-law and mother-in-law praising Baozhu every now and then, and her husband would often talk about how good Baozhu was in front of her. She just felt that the Chen family thought so highly of such a girl that they compared her to someone who had also studied since childhood. Therefore, she didn't really like Baozhu, but this time things were different. She is still very optimistic about this relative, if she can get such a good marriage, the Chen family will always be able to take advantage of it in the future, and she and her husband will never be in the wrong.Furthermore, although I am not close to her, she is still her husband's biological sister, and she is considered a family member. If she can get this kind of relative, she will live a better life in the future, and my husband will have less to worry about.

Although the big family has rich clothes and good food, there are naturally many rules. As for how she gets along with her in-laws after she gets married, it depends on her own ability. With such a big family, the husband will probably take concubines in the future. Thinking about it, I feel pity , recalling her mother's words of consolation to her father at the beginning, I am afraid that it will be confirmed by my sister-in-law now, and I am a little thankful that I firmly chose Runze at the beginning. She has always been proud. I also have to be angry.

Seeing her thinking for a while, Mrs. Li thought she was happy, and asked with a smile, "Why are you so dazed, Miss?"

Mrs. Wu hurriedly restrained her thoughts, still showing some surprise on her face, "To tell you the truth, Auntie, I was just thinking about it, how can I look at Baozhu with such good conditions in the Helan Mansion?"

Originally, Mrs. Li thought that Mrs. Wu should know it well, but when she saw that she wanted to ask again, she sighed, "Since you are a concubine, the conditions are naturally relaxed." After a pause, he said: "I just did it." The concubine's room in the Helan mansion is not treated badly."

Wu frowned, stood up abruptly, and asked after a while, "A concubine?"

Li's expression was taken for granted, "Of course I want to be a concubine. With the current wealth and status of the Helan Mansion, if you marry a regular wife, how can you find a family at will? You must also find a well-matched lady." The implication is that with the conditions of your house, why should you be surprised if you marry and become a concubine?
With the good conditions of the Helan family, she has seen He Lanjin herself before. She is aloof and lofty. For money, even if you go to the state capital to find a lady official, it is not considered high-ranking. Now it is extremely unreasonable to rush to the Chen family to say goodbye.

After all, Mrs. Wu also knew the inside story. Over the years, Baozhu and He Lanjin had a very close personal relationship. In addition, He Lan had taken care of her a lot before, and the two must have had an affair. Naturally, the other end also explained his thoughts to his parents, so this matchmaker came to visit.She believed that since He Lan's mansion was able to drop this rank, it was probably because of He Lan Jin's intention, so she didn't think about it elsewhere.

Now that she heard that she was indeed a concubine, a burst of anger arose in her heart, not to mention what her father-in-law and mother-in-law thought, she and Runze would never agree.Once she became an aunt, she was not a respectable relative, and she had no parental rights, but Baozhu wanted it herself. If it was spread out in the future, how much face would the Chen family lose?Given the other party's popularity in the county, it was inevitable that she and Runze would be poked behind their backs in the future.

Immediately, she refused abruptly: "Since you are a concubine, this marriage is over! Auntie, please go back!"

Mrs. Li was a little surprised, she put down the teacup, but she didn't intend to stand up, she said leisurely: "Look at what the girl said, how can you leave today without seeing the Patriarch?" She raised her chin, " Besides, what's wrong with being a concubine? I'm afraid that the girl is on the edge of her own horn, and considering the conditions of the Helan Mansion, if she is to be a concubine, I'm afraid there will be many daughters competing for it in the city."

Mrs. Wu was ashamed and angry when she heard these words, and she didn't care about her appearance, so she immediately reprimanded with a sullen face: "Such a thing that is not tolerated by etiquette and etiquette, and loses the face of the ancestors, is there something good? Isn't Auntie the same? A concubine?"

Mrs. Li was not angry, and sighed calmly, "How can the etiquette be tolerated? If you have a wife, you can't help taking concubines. As long as you can support them, what if you pay more?"

Mrs. Wu was in a hurry, unable to refute for a while, she simply said: "What do those women who are willing to be concubines and maidservants have anything to do with me? It's just that my daughter of the Chen family will definitely not do such things that lose the face of the ancestors! Dead that heart!"

Mrs. Li waved her hand, "Miss, let's not say this out loud, let's wait for the Patriarch to come back and see what the Patriarch means."

Seeing her playing tricks, Mrs. Wu was afraid that Mrs. Wang would be moved by Helan House's conditions when she returned to the house, and wanted to let her go quickly, so she said angrily: "If you don't leave, I will go to find Lizheng, Sue you for trespassing!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li frowned, sighed, stood up and said, "I don't dare to keep the girl's words." Seeing what she was thinking, Mrs. Li walked out He walked away and said with a smile: "It's just that this relative has to talk to your parents. Let's visit another day."

Matchmaker Li walked forward, Wu Shi thought about it, thought about it, and decided to keep this matter from her in-laws for the time being, so she had to talk to her husband first, in case the in-laws got greedy in the future and wanted to climb all over the place When it came to the marriage of Helan's family, there were always several people who persuaded and persuaded her to stop her, determined not to let Baozhu marry and disgrace the Chen family.

She went back to the house and explained to Xiujuan, she only said that she had some urgent business in the county, and she would go back to the house tomorrow, so that she could stay in the house and practice calligraphy.In the afternoon of that day, he rushed to the county under the scorching sun to talk to Runze about this matter.

Seeing her anxiously stomping her feet and frowning for a while, Runze felt more relieved when Wu was worried about Baozhu's future, and clapped her hands with a smile, "You have been married not long ago, and I don't know the situation in the house. My parents are definitely not like that." People who are greedy for vanity, if they are in the house today, and they listen to what the matchmaker says, they will certainly refuse."

Wu's heart was relieved a little, Runze talked to her for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, he handed over the monthly money just issued last time to Wu, and asked Wu to take it to his parents, so he wanted to send her Walk.

Wu's face showed some reluctance, "Shall I leave tomorrow?"

Runze shook his head with a smile, "We can always see each other every few days. Recently, the wheat harvest is in time, but the house is very busy. You'd better rush back to help your parents today." After a pause , sighed: "By the way, discuss this matter with your parents. After all, we still owe a lot of kindness to the Helan House. If the matchmaker comes back, parents will always have something to do."

Hearing what he said, Wu's previous expectations turned into disappointment, and she secretly resented him for being confused, so she came in a hurry, besides talking about this matter, she still missed him after all, and wanted to spend more time with him tenderly.

Sighing, he told him to talk for a while, and then hired a car with him.
