223, Chapter 223
Yang Haiyan naturally had no objection to this. In fact, even if Qin Shouye's betrothal and wife-in-law's standards were slightly higher, she wouldn't care. After all, things are different now. However, there is one thing that needs to be said in vain. "Grandma, I have something here that I want to talk to you about."
As soon as these words came out, Grandma Qin and Qin Fang both looked at , because Qin Fang didn’t know that had something to say, and judging from ’s expression and tone, it was probably not a trivial matter.
Grandma Qin had the same idea as Qin Fang. After hearing what grandson's wife said, she said, "Yanyan, just say it."
Naturally, Yang Haiyan would not beat around the bush and said directly: "Grandma, my eldest family also needs to be separated."
Grandma Qin was stunned.
Yang Haiyan explained: "Although my husband has become an official, there are many people in the court who can't help themselves. If something happens to my husband, the whole family will suffer. Similarly, there are also people who, in order to get close to my husband, will do everything they can to keep their business and success." If someone waits, he will most likely affect my husband's future, so I think it is most appropriate to separate the family for each other's safety. Of course, dividing the family is just a way of insurance to save both of us. Although he has been implicated, the brotherhood between my husband and him will never be broken."
Grandma Qin has no objection to this matter at all. After all, even her son's family has been separated, so how can she care about her grandson?
After hearing what Yang Haiyan said, Qin Fang thought for a while and said, "That's fine. Once the harvest has passed the county examination in February of next year, and my father and mother come back, we will officially separate the family."
Yang Haiyan said: "Then when you go to tell the Xu family about your marriage this time, you must also mention the separation of the family, otherwise they won't know about it."
Grandma Qin: "Then let your third aunt bring the official matchmaker. Separation of the family has to be done by seniors, not by the matchmaker."
Yang Haiyan: "It's still what grandma wants."
After coming out of Liuxinyuan, Yang Haiyan asked Qin Fang: "Ms. sir, do you mind if I mention the family separation?"
Qin Fang said: "Sooner or later, we have to separate, as you said, so that one day, if something happens to me, he will be implicated by me. Moreover, even if the family is separated, he will still be my brother. He will not It affects my relationship."
Yang Haiyan smiled, what she liked most about Qin Fang was that he was a white man. Moreover, even if the matter with the Xu family was found to be nothing, Yang Haiyan would still be worried. After all, how could such a coincidence happen? But since we can't find out, we can only let it go. If the other party has a purpose, there will always be a day when the truth is revealed. "Over the Xu family, my husband has to send someone to keep an eye on it."
Qin Fang said: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to this matter." Through the matter of Aunt Fan's son-in-law, Qin Fang has become more and more cautious. If the person behind it cannot frame him, it is also possible for him to be a frontier fortress. matter. So he himself is very careful.
Xu family
The Xu family is very lively today. After what happened to Xu Feng's sister Xu Lan, the villagers have been watching his family's jokes. This kind of joke cannot be said to be malicious, but it does have a gossipy mentality. But often such a mentality is very hurtful in this ancient world.
The Xu family also knew that their family was not worthy of the Qin family. When the incident happened, it was really unexpected. He did not expect that such a thing would happen. Xu Lan was frightened at that time and was completely unprepared. I thought someone would break into the toilet, and when I reacted, I screamed consciously. So, all the neighbors came over and knew about it. Then, more people knew about it.
Speaking of which, Xu Lan didn't suffer any losses, and the Xu family never thought of holding Qin Shouye responsible. He couldn't express such responsibility. However, he was sad to think that his daughter's reputation would be damaged. Later, Qin Shouye said that he asked him to think about how to deal with this matter, and he did not refuse because he didn't know how to deal with it at that time.
But without thinking, within a few days, this incident spread throughout the village, and it was even worse than the truth. It was also said that Xu Lan and Qin Shouye were having an affair in the toilet.
The Xu family had no choice, so they asked Xu Feng to go to the Qin family to see if the marriage between Xu Lan and Qin Shouye could be settled. After a year or two, the limelight of this matter had passed. It doesn’t matter if you cancel the engagement again.
Today, the Qin family came to discuss the marriage.
Third Aunt Qin came with Qin Shouye in a carriage from the General's Mansion. After entering Xu's house, I observed that the yard of Xu's house was clean and tidy, and looking at Xu's father and mother, they all seemed to be honest and honest people.
"Brother Shouye, you're here." Xu Feng came to receive people.
Qin Shouye said: "Brother Xu Feng, Uncle Xu, and Aunt Xu, this is my third aunt. My parents are not at home, and my grandparents are old, so my third aunt is here on behalf of my parents."
Xu's father said hurriedly: "It turns out it's San. Please come in quickly."
Xu's mother said: "My house is simple, so please don't mind me."
Third Aunt Qin said: "No, our Qin family is also from the countryside. In the past, before A Fang became an official, it was not as good as the Xu family. Seeing how my sister-in-law tidied up the house, I knew that my sister-in-law He is a hard-working person.”
Seeing that Third Aunt Qin had a good attitude and no look of disdain on her face, Xu's mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your praise."
After entering the house, Xu's mother served tea to Aunt Qin: "Third aunt, please have some tea."
Aunt Qin San is not the kind of person who likes to put on airs. She is honest by nature, so she talks directly. After drinking tea, Aunt Qin San said, "Sister-in-law Xu, I came here today to invite your family of four to visit the general's mansion this morning, and talk about Shouye and the Xu family's daughter."
Father Xu naturally has brothers, but the Xu family has split up, and Father Xu is the second oldest. The Qin family only needs to invite his family of four to talk about Qin Shouye.
When Xu's mother heard this, she was a little worried, but for her daughter's affairs, he naturally had to go to the general's mansion. "Don't worry, Aunt Qin, I will definitely go this morning."
After talking about this, Aunt Qin San left after a while. This time, I came to see the situation of the Xu family and gradually talked about the Xu family's daughter.
After Aunt Qin left, the villagers who were peeking at the side came forward to ask.
"Xu family, is this your guest?"
"Xu family, this family came in a carriage, what a magnificent family, what are they doing here?"
"Xu family, that young man over there is someone related to your Xu Lan, right?"
"Xu family, is he here to compensate you for your money?"
In fact, the villagers only knew that Xu Lan had something with a young man that day, but they didn't know that the young man was from the general's mansion. Moreover, no one knew Aunt Qin, so naturally they didn't know Aunt Qin's identity.
The Xu family was still very tight-lipped. Although they knew that the villagers had bad intentions, they didn't reveal Qin Shouye's identity. No matter how everyone asked, they just didn't say it.
General's Mansion, Liuxin Courtyard.
After Aunt Qin went back, she told Grandma Qin and Yang Haiyan about going to Xu's house. "I saw that the Xu family was very honest. They were not the kind of people who were unreasonable and difficult to deal with. They were all well-behaved people, and their homes were clean and tidy." Before going, although Qin Shouye called Xu Feng, Aunt Qin was used to farm work, and she knew from the Xu family that the Xu family's cleanliness was not a temporary cleaning. After chatting with the Xu family for a while, she felt that the Xu family was a real family.
Grandma Qin was relieved when she heard it: "That's good, wait for him to come and see, if it's really good, discuss the engagement today, and then invite the matchmaker to come."
Yang Haiyan listened to him and didn't see the illustration. The elders are all here, and this matter has nothing to do with them.
However, I used to think that it was lonely with few people at home, but now that things have happened one after another, I think it is better to have fewer people. If there are too many people, all kinds of things will happen, which makes people think about this and that, and it is annoying.
The next day
The Xu family had breakfast, took the donkey cart in the village to the gate of the county town, and then walked over. He was embarrassed to take the donkey cart in the village to the gate of the general's mansion, worried that people would know that Qin Shouye was from the general's mansion and spread unpleasant words for no reason.
As soon as the Xu family came, Qin Shouye came out to pick him up. When Qin Shouye took him to Liuxinyuan and saw the kind old man inside, he was relieved. He was nervous on the way here, and even more nervous after entering the general's mansion, fearing that the people in the general's mansion would look down on him, but when he saw the kind-hearted old lady, who looked no different from the old lady next door, he felt a little relieved.
Qin Shouye introduced them to them: "This is my grandmother. Grandma, this is Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, Xu Feng, and Miss Xu Lan."
When the four saw Grandma Qin, they immediately knelt down to pay their respects.
"Hello, old man."
In the past, only during the Chinese New Year would grandchildren pay respects to Grandma Qin like this. Now that she has become a seventh-rank lady, when she encounters people paying respects to her like this, Grandma Qin has changed from being uncomfortable at first to being accustomed to it now. hurriedly said: "Hurry up, you are so polite. Shouye, help him up."
Qin Shouye said: "Yes. Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, please take a seat."
The four people of the Xu family stood up and sat down with . The maid serving in the yard immediately served tea.
Seeing that he was a little reserved, Grandma Qin smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, just treat it as your own home. You must have had a hard journey. Have you eaten?"
Mother Xu said, "Thank you for your concern. I have eaten. It's not hard. I came here by donkey cart."
Grandma Qin said, "Originally, I should have come to the door for this matter, but my parents are not here, and I can't stand the trouble, so I had to ask you to come over." If the Qin family was just an ordinary family, then Yang Haiyan, the sister-in-law, could come to the door, but she was still a second-rank lady. The Xu family was an ordinary family, so they really didn't have the qualifications to ask her to come.
Mother Xu: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem. Speaking of this matter, it's also..." It's also bad luck for the two families to have such a thing happen.
At this time, a hearty voice was heard outside: "Grandma, I heard that a distinguished guest came to our house." The person who came was naturally Yang Haiyan.
