224, Chapter 224

Yang Haiyan came over after hearing the news from her servants. Indeed, she was also curious about the Xu family. Regardless of whether Qin Shouye did his own investigation, Qin Fang sent someone to investigate, or he did an investigation when recruiting troops, the Xu family's family tradition was always good, and the villagers' comments were all positive. ‌Not bad‌. So here comes the question, why is Qin Shouye's incident such a coincidence? Just a coincidence? Qin Fang didn't believe it, and neither did Yang Haiyan.

But with no evidence and no knowledge of the other party, they can only wait and wait for the other party to reveal their flaws.

Yang Haiyan walked into the house, and everyone except Grandma Qin stood up and saluted.

“‌Mrs.”

"I've passed Mrs. Jun."

The Xu family, who were from the countryside, didn't know that Yang Haiyan was already a second-class wife, so they called her "Mrs. Army".

Yang Haiyan smiled and said, "No need to be polite." After saying that, she sat down next to Grandma Qin. If you are an ordinary eldest grandson daughter-in-law, and there are many family members here today, she will naturally sit across from her according to her seniority. However, her status is higher than that of Grandma Qin, so she sits next to Grandma Qin.

After Yang Haiyan sat down, she looked at the Xu family. She didn't dare to say that she had the fiery eyes of Venus, but since she was fifteen years old, she had grown up peacefully by herself. She also had some brains and some human vision. It has to be said that the appearance of the Xu family does not look like someone who is harboring misfortunes.

Except for Xu Feng, the remaining three people were a little nervous. Because Xu Feng stayed in the military camp for a long time and often visited Qin Fang on weekdays, although Yang Haiyan was a little cautious, he was not as nervous as his family members.

Xu's father is an honest man, and his mother-in-law makes all the decisions. In the eyes of everyone, Xu's mother was a person with a quick personality. She boldly raised her head and glanced at Yang Haiyan, then immediately lowered her head. Xu Lan kept holding on to her buttocks and holding the veil with both hands.

Yang Haiyan didn't say anything after that, but turned to Grandma Qin. Grandma Qin said: "Madam of the Xu family, we all know about Shouye, Miss Xu, and what happened." , we are all sad, how can something like this happen if you drink too much? However, as a grandma, I can’t blame my grandson for this. "Shouye ‌‌"

When the Xu family heard this, their hearts jumped.

Xu's mother said: "It's true that we didn't. On the day of Xu Feng's birthday, we invited friends to have a drink. It was originally a happy thing, but where did this happen? Things, hey..." As she said this, she was also annoyed. If this happened, the woman would lose her reputation. What would she do in the future?

Grandma Qin said: "Madam Xu, I have a few questions about the affairs of the local government, and I would like to ask Madam Xu to tell me."

Xu's mother said honestly: "Old lady, please tell me."

Grandma Qin also asked politely: "Shouye was drunk that day, and my son took Shouye to the toilet, and he took a seat first, called the seat next door to Shouye. ‌No‌?”

When the Xu family heard this, they immediately wondered what it meant. Without waiting for Xu's mother to reply, Xu Feng hurriedly said: "Old lady, it's true. At that time, I... I was really too anxious, so Brother Xian Qin stepped forward. "It's all his fault. If he hadn't been so anxious at the time, this wouldn't have happened." But how did he know that his sister was next door?

Grandma Qin and Yang Haiyan looked at Xu Feng with a regretful look on his face and didn't say much. This matter is not true, and only they themselves know. The main reason is that after investigation, the Xu family did not agree with that person, so they were willing to talk to the Xu family calmly.

Grandma Qin nodded, and then said: "The old lady still has another question. At that time, the son took Shouye to the toilet. The noise was in the toilet. Miss Xu must have heard it. Why didn't Miss Xu hear it? ‌Sound? If the girl ‌sounds, Shouye will not break in. Or maybe if the girl locks it from the inside, Shouye will definitely not ‌break in. ”

Xu's mother said: "I'm to blame for this, because it was my son's birthday and I wanted to invite some friends to have a drink. I couldn't handle it by myself, so I asked Xiaolan to help me. She was the one who came before me. She felt uncomfortable in her stomach and had a bad stomach, so she ran to the toilet. At the same time, her stomach was not healed yet, so she hurried to the toilet and didn't have time to lock the toilet door. She was a little weak because of two stomach upsets. If she didn't pay attention, she wouldn't have time to shout.

Old lady, my daughter has a stomachache. The doctor in the village also told me that she took some medicine from him, but...it was only two weeks and her stomach didn't heal that quickly. "

After Xu's mother finished speaking, Xu Lan stood up, then knelt down towards Grandma Qin and Yang Haiyan: "Old lady, Mrs. Jun, I know that I am not worthy of the second master, and I don't want to wait for the second master. ‌, please let it go. I ‌ say that I am a good match, and ‌ said that this matter is my fault and has nothing to do with the second master. Now... now I just want to ask the second master for a favor. Pretending to be engaged, after the first half of the year, when everyone has forgotten about it, we will cancel the engagement. I... I'm actually not afraid of other people gossiping, but my brother hasn't said it yet. Dear, I can’t embarrass my family.”

When she spoke, she stuttered a little because of nervousness. She didn't dare to lift her head because she was too scared.

The Xu family members hurriedly followed suit and knelt down.

Xu Feng couldn't bear his sister's behavior, so he said: "Old lady, Mrs. Jun, we don't want to get engaged. We thought about it for a while." He first asked the second master for help to pretend to be engaged. He just didn't want his sister to be criticized by the villagers, but since his sister was so wronged, he didn't want his sister to get engaged, so he protected his sister.

Yang Haiyan said: "Guests, come quickly, Aunt Lian, help us over quickly. Don't think too much, your family loves each other, and grandma also loves Shouye, so I want to Let’s figure things out. We, the Qin family, are also here with muddy legs, so we don’t have any intention of being a Qing people. It’s just that since our family became prosperous, some people have come up with bad ideas. That’s why grandma has to understand, and I ask for your understanding.”

Xu's mother said: "We understand, we understand." They do understand, they really don't want to bite Second Master Qin, and they also know that they are not worthy. Qin family, so they have no intention of doing anything. However, several people reported the situation at that time, and then the matter spread. Besides, who doesn’t have a few good connections in the village? Those people caught this incident and spread rumors about her daughter, and she also felt sorry for herself. Therefore, when Zizi pretended to be engaged, the whole family agreed.

Grandma Qin sighed: "The two children are pitiful. We asked Shouye about this, and he agreed. So according to your wishes, we will get engaged first and settle this matter first. Let’s talk about it. If we have two children who are in love with each other, then it’s okay to get married. If we don’t have an eye with each other, then we’ll call it quits when the storm passes. Shouye has had his fortune told by an eminent monk, so it’s not easy to get married too early, but I can’t delay Miss Xu, so I’m canceling the engagement, Madam Xu, what do you think?”

When the Xu family heard this, they were not dissatisfied. If ‌this ‌ cancels the engagement, then the woman ‌‌’s reputation will be preserved.

The Xu family expressed gratitude: "Thank you, old lady."

Grandma Qin: "Tomorrow we will send a matchmaker to propose marriage. This aspect will follow our rural standards. In fact, there are reasons for this matter. Logically speaking, our Qin family is now in good condition, so we can propose marriage. The ‌standards ‌ must be improved ‌. However, ‌, my eldest grandson’s daughter-in-law and her eldest grandson’s ‌ marriage were granted by the court. At that time, there was no such process as betrothal and betrothal. Therefore, the following ‌grandson’s marriage was in terms of specifications. ‌ cannot exceed the eldest grandson ‌, but ‌ cannot be absent, so we can only refer to our rural ‌ specifications.” The reason why she explained was that she wanted to tell the Xu family that it was not the Qin family who did not ‌ the Xu family. .

In fact, according to the rules of the family, there is a saying that if the younger brother gets married, the standard cannot exceed that of the elder brother. Of course, there are also some irregularities. People tend to be more powerful, so that's a different matter.

The Xu family is not unreasonable either. As they said, they are supposed to be relatives in the first place, so they don't care at all what the specifications are.

In this way, Grandma Qin and the Xu family quickly reached an agreement.

After the negotiation was settled, Qin Shouye left with the Xu family.

After the Xu family left, there were only Grandma Qin, Yang Haiyan and Grandma Lian in the house. Grandma Qin asked: "Yanyan, how are you doing with your family?"

Yang Haiyan smiled and said: "I don't know, grandma, there are so many people, what do you think?"

Grandma Qin shook her head and said, "I'm sorry. It's not like an accident. Although I'm a bit boastful when I say this, your grandma and I still have some good eyesight. I'll look at it." The Xu family are quite honest, and they are not like people who do things like this for the sake of wealth. It's just that... the Xu family girl is a bit petty, but it's possible that the girl was scared when she came here for the first time, so she didn't dare. Lift it up.”

Yang Haiyan said: "Grandma and I have similar attitudes, and they don't look alike. But we can only pretend to be close. People, ghosts, and people always have the same relationship."

Grandma Qin said: "No. I hope that with a good family, this marriage can continue. Otherwise, he will..."

Qin Shouye sent the Xu family away and returned to Liuxinyuan.

"Grandma, sister-in-law." He apologized, "This matter has troubled you."

Grandma Qin said: "I'm your grandma. Of course I have to take care of your marriage. What's the trouble? Do you like the Xu family girl?"

Qin Shouye shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, that was my first time to date Miss Xu. I had never dated her before, so how could I say I liked her? If this matter is resolved and I can save Miss Xu's reputation and cancel the engagement, I will be happy to do so." At this point, he thought of Miss Li again. He was a man who had canceled an engagement before, so how could Miss Li still be able to marry him?

Qin Shouye and Xu Lan's marriage was immediately decided. At that time, the villagers knew that the young man was the second master of the military mansion. For a while, Xu Lan became the object of envy of the villagers, and no one dared to say anything bad about her.
