Qiyou Episode (Eighty-Two)
Han Jingjing first asked her sister-in-law to pass the message to Mrs. Chen, and then agreed on a date. She invited the most famous matchmaker in the capital to the Chen family to propose marriage.
Since Mrs. Chen let go, she naturally stopped being reserved. As soon as the matchmaker came to the door, she readily handed Chen Muqing's Geng Tie to the matchmaker. However, knowing that the two families had reached an agreement, the matchmaker was not surprised, and handed over the Pogeer Gengtie to Mrs. Chen.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Cui came back from her natal home after drinking the wedding wine. As soon as she got home, she heard the news of the thunderbolt.
In fact, she also knew that Mrs. Cui would go back to her mother's house for a wedding banquet that day, so Mrs. Chen deliberately set the date for the wedding ceremony on this day.
There is a good saying, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are enemies, and Mrs. Chen doesn't like Mrs. Chen. What's more, she also had plans for Chen Muqing's marriage.
Mrs. Cui scolded Mrs. Chen bloody: "Mu Qing's marriage is such a big deal, you actually agreed to the Prince You's marriage proposal without our consent. Do you still have me and Zhonghe in your eyes?" In Cui's eyes, she should be the one to make decisions about the marriage of the children in the family.
Mrs. Chen's Mrs. Shu knelt on the ground and said with a wooden face: "Mother, this is my daughter-in-law's own opinion, and it's my daughter-in-law's fault."
Old Mrs. Chen was shocked when she saw Shu's dead face. He didn't want to talk to her any more, so he punished Mrs. Chen to kneel in the ancestral hall.
The Shu family readily went to the ancestral hall to kneel down to their ancestors.
Cui's heart was full of fire, so she sent someone to call Chen Zhonghe back.
As soon as she saw someone, Cui scolded her head and face. After cursing, Cui said: "Hurry up and give this wicked woman a rest."
Chen Zhonghe was also very angry at Mrs. Chen's assertion, but divorcing his wife is absolutely impossible: "Mother, the Shu family also has the right to make decisions about Mu Qing's marriage. If you divorce because of this, the reputation of the Chen family will be ruined. "
Mrs. Chen also knew that she couldn't divorce the Shu family, and it was because of this that she was even more disgusted.
"Find an excuse to get Mu Qing's Geng Tie back." Neither she nor Chen Zhonghe thought of marrying their granddaughter to Prince You's Mansion. Their Chen family is a scholarly family, and it is a noble family. How can they marry their granddaughter to a person who is idle and only knows how to eat, drink and play. Even if this person is the grandson of the palace.
"Mother, I'm afraid this post will never come back."
Mrs. Chen said: "Just take Geng Tie back on the grounds that the two people don't agree with each other." To talk about a marriage requires the consent of both parties, but it is not difficult to destroy a relationship.
Chen Zhonghe said with a wry smile: "Prince You's Mansion will definitely invite people from Qin Tianjian to calculate the horoscope.
If the supervisor of the Qin Tianjian said that Mu Qing and the grandson of Prince You are a match made in heaven, but we say that they are not compatible, the people in Prince You's Mansion will be angry. Mother, You Wang is not to be provoked. "
In case Mrs. Chen would do something foolish, Chen Zhonghe told her the consequences of destroying the relationship: "Young King is a person who will take revenge. If the Chen family dares to destroy the relationship, not only will my official position be lost, but the future of the second brother and the others will also be affected. . " How can the daughter's life-long event be compared with their future.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen said angrily: "I didn't agree with this marriage back then, it was you who insisted on marrying. Now look at it, those who come from a small family have shallow eyesight."
In fact, Mrs. Chen's family background is not low. Although her grandfather was a farmer, her father was a two-ranked Jinshi. When they talked about their marriage, father Shu was already the magistrate. But at that time, Chen Ran was the Minister of the Household Department, and the Chen family was in full swing, so the Cui family looked down on the Shu family. But the Shu family was as beautiful as a flower, and Chen Zhong fell in love with him. Seeing that Mrs. Cui disagreed, he went to ask Chen Ran.
People can see through many things after going through many things. In Chen Ran's eyes, family background is far less important than character. Knowing that Mrs. Shu is a well-educated, reasonable and dignified person, and seeing that his grandson likes him, he agreed to the marriage. And this became a thorn in Mrs. Chen's mind.
After Shu gave birth to her eldest daughter, Chen Muqing, she gave Chen Zhonghe a beautiful and clever maid beside her as a concubine. Fortunately, the rules of the Chen family are relatively strict. If there are no legitimate sons, no bastard sons are allowed. However, with her interference, the originally loving couple gradually drifted further and further apart, and now they seem to be apart.
Chen Zhonghe is a filial son, he usually obeys Cui Shi in everything, the only time he violated Cui Shi's will was to marry Shu Shi.
When Chen Muqing came back from the school, she knew that her mother was punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall, and begged Cui Shi hard.
It's a pity that this time, Mrs. Cui didn't give Chen Muqing this face, and made Mrs. Chen kneel until dawn the next day.
Seeing Shu's bruised knees, Chen Muqing burst into tears: "Mother..."
Seeing her appearance, Shu said with a smile: "Your mother-in-law has settled for you, she is the grandson of Prince You's Mansion."
Chen Muqing was very sad: "Mother, even if I'm not a grandson of Prince You's Mansion, the marriage my grandmother and father made for me will not be bad. Mother, you don't have to do this for me."
Shu shook his head and said, "Your father wants to promise you to Mo Yunfan, but the Mo family is just a small landowner with only five hundred acres of Susukida, and Mo Yunfan has many brothers and sisters. If you marry him, what good life will you have?" Pass."
Chen Muqing said: "Mother, senior brother Mo is full of talents, even if I marry him, I believe that I won't have a hard life." How many children from poor families have changed their fate through the imperial examination, and she thinks that Mo Yunfan can do the same.
"Mo Yunfan is talented, but talent does not necessarily mean a good future. Besides, even if he really has a good future, it will be a matter of ten or twenty years later. By then, you will be an old man, and he will start to name Meijiao'e." That's it." After finishing speaking, Shu patted Chen Muqing's head and said, "Furthermore, Mo Yunfan's mother thought that her son was a great talent and good-looking, even a princess deserved it. How could such a mother-in-law be good? With each other." Mo Yunfan's future is uncertain, and Mo's mother is difficult, how could she marry her daughter to him.
Chen Muqing asked in shock: "Mother, when did you meet Brother Mo's mother?"
"I let someone inquire about it."
Chen Muqing was silent for a while and said: "Mother, Brother Mo is not good, what about Cousin Junyan?" The Cousin Junyan that Chen Muqing said was Cui's natal nephew. The Cui family is also a scholarly family, and they are well matched with Chen Muqing.
The Cui family intends to promise Chen Muqing to Cui Junyan, while Chen Zhonghe is more optimistic about Mo Yunfan. The mother and son disagreed on this matter. Otherwise, Chen Muqing's marriage has already been settled.
Mrs. Chen chuckled lightly and said, "Cui Junyan has a maid named Ying He who is very fond of him. A few days ago, he took Ying He into the house."
Chen Muqing was stunned and asked: "Mother, how did you know about this?" This is a private matter in the inner house, and the Cui family's door is relatively strict, so it is difficult for outsiders to find out.
Chen Muqing has to go to school these years, but Mrs. Chen treats her more strictly on weekdays. So whether it was Mo Yunfan or Cui Junyan, she hadn't had much contact with them, and naturally it was impossible to like them. I just think that both of them are suitable marriage partners.
Mrs. Chen said: "Since you know what your father and grandmother mean, mother has sent someone to watch them." Not only watching them, but also paying attention to the people around them.
Chen Muqing was silent for a while and asked: "Mother, is it okay to You Wang's grandson? As far as I know, that You Wang's grandson is ignorant and idle. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long."
Mrs. Chen smiled when she heard the words: "You Wang's grandson has been staying in Baihua Garden for the past few years from the age of six to nine. Do you think the queen mother will raise a dude?"
Chen Muqing didn't speak anymore.
"I've seen that kid before. He looks good and has clear eyes. He walks vigorously. As for the idleness, it's just rumors. You may not know what great things you can do at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Last month, the Queen Mother let him Went to Tongcheng Army to practice." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Chen held Chen Muqing's hand and said, "Prince You's family style is good and the population is simple, and Princess You and Princess You are very easy to get along with. Also, Prince You's descendants and The grandson and grandson are as close as brothers, and he will have no worries about his future in the future."
It turned out that she was also hesitating. Knowing that Yuxi sent Ge Geer to Tongcheng for training, she no longer hesitated.
After hearing this, Chen Muqing burst into tears: "Mother, my daughter has made you suffer."
"Your brother's marriage has already been settled by the old lady, and my mother is not worried. These years, my mother has been worried about you. Now that your marriage has been settled, my mother has nothing to worry about." After the marriage is settled, I have to start giving my daughter Dowry is ready.
Chen Muqing hugged Shu Shi and cried a lot.
This incident made Cui very angry, not only made her kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment, but also grounded her for half a year, and copied the "Diamond Sutra" a thousand times.
Mrs. Chen was worried, and she was in a good mood when she was punished.
Han Jingjing got Chen Muqing's Geng Tie, so she sent it to Qin Tianjian to ask the supervisor to match the characters of the two.
The two people's horoscopes match, and the divination is also a good omen. At that moment, Prince You's Mansion took the dowry gift to the Chen family to make an appointment.
When she was hired, Han Jingjing didn't see Mrs. Chen, so she said very unhappy, "Why don't you see your mother-in-law on such a happy day?" Although the Chen family's door is relatively tight, it is not a secret that Mrs. Chen is under house arrest. Han Jingjing found out within two days.
It was also because of this that Han Jingjing knew that Mrs. Chen had arranged this marriage on her own initiative. Not only was she not disgusted, but she felt that Mrs. Chen was really motherly.
Mrs. Chen's face was a little stiff, and she said: "Mu Qing's mother is not feeling well, so she didn't come out."
Han Jingjing sighed and said: "That's really unfortunate. I'll come to visit my in-laws in a few days." Today is a happy day for the next appointment, so it's not suitable to visit patients. In two days, there will be no such taboo.
Once the appointment is made, the marriage is a certainty. But after the news got out, Mo Yunfan didn't dare to show his resentment in his heart. After all, he still had to rely on Chen Zhonghe's support. But the Cui family got the news that Mrs. Cui's sister-in-law and her daughter-in-law came directly to ask the crime.
Cui's face was disgraced, and she hated Shu very much. But I don't want to, Han Jingjing really posted a post to visit Shu Shi. Enduring the anger in his heart, Cui lifted her restraint and asked her to entertain Han Jingjing well.
The Shu family naturally told Chen Muqing about it.
When Chen Muqing's siblings were born, both Chen Ran and Yu Xixian were still alive, and Cui Shi didn't dare to propose to give her the child to raise. So the two children were brought up by Shu himself. This feeling is naturally extremely deep.
Knowing this, Chen Muqing had a good impression of Han Jingjing. At the same time, there are expectations for the future life.
