Chapter 472: flat wife
Chapter 472 Flat Wife
Mrs. Xu accompanied Mrs. Jiang in the north courtyard for a few words, and then used the excuse of asking for piano lessons, and followed Mrs. Yazheng to the west courtyard for tea.
The white and fat Mrs. Xu smiled like Maitreya Buddha, which made people look very comfortable. She held Mrs. Yazheng's hand and said, "I'll tell you to come and sit down with you, but you have been busy here, dragged here. It's been delayed until today, and my sister is not allowed to pick on my sister's reasons."
Ya Zheng taught the piano for many years, often wandered among the wives of officials and officials in Beijing, and met Mrs. Xu a few times, but she was not so close to Yazheng at that time. Seeing that she knew something was wrong, Ya Zheng smiled and said to her, "Sister said something like this, so Na Ya is an outsider."
Mrs. Xu smiled and patted Yazheng's hand, "Okay, let's not talk about that. I said back then that you were lucky, it's not that you didn't have a good marriage, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. How about it, let me talk? "
Madam Xu said this with sincerity, and she was a little jealous. Five years ago, she helped Yazheng lead the line. The man was a widowed member of the Ministry of War, but Yazheng refused without blinking. At that time, Mrs. Xu was quite angry, thinking that she, an orphaned daughter who lost her parents, would be the best marriage to fill a house with a foreigner in her forties. Who would have thought that five years later, they would marry by order Jiang Feng!
"Sister's eyesight is really accurate. When the children in our house say kiss, we must let my sister see it first." Yazheng replied with a smile, Mrs. Xu likes to be a matchmaker, and several children in the house are old enough to say kiss , just let her help snoop snoop.
Mrs. Xu laughed when she heard it, and praised the Jiang family's children one by one before asking, "You two have an idea about General Ren's marriage?"
She came for Jiang Ling's marriage? Ya Zheng said with a smile, "Ling'er is only eleven years old. His grandfather and second master wanted to wait a few years before discussing again."
"It should be, I heard that Ling'er is a top-notch student, excellent in horsemanship and archery, and will be named in the gold medal list in five years. It will not be too late to get engaged." Madam Xu smiled, "I heard that Muzheng's foot was injured. , poor see, is the injury better now?"
Yazheng replied without revealing the water, "Zheng'er twisted accidentally while walking, it's not a big problem. Where did my sister know about it?"
Mrs. Xu smiled even more, "Yesterday, Zuo Weiwei's Wang Ji and the little general mentioned something to Chang'an when they went to play at home, I always thought that the first-class good sons were all in Kang'an, and I didn't know until I met the little general. It turns out that Yingzhou also has such good sons."
Xu Changan is Xu Chong's eldest son, how he and Wang Jihe got together with Yazheng is not clear, but Yazheng knows very well that Wang Jihe and Zhenger are not suitable. She smiled and said, "General Wang came to the mansion the day before yesterday, and I saw that as my sister said, he is a first-class good boy. Did my sister see it? The generals of the generals who came to Beijing this time are very good. good."
Seeing that Ya was about to change the conversation, Mrs. Xu praised a few generals who came to Beijing this time, and brought the topic back, "Murong married Shaoxing, what did Muzheng's marriage think about? She Although she is a concubine, her character and appearance are definitely not worse than that of a daughter-in-law, so you have to find a good family for her."
Ya Zheng said with a smile, "Sister is right, my mother and sister-in-law also mentioned Zheng'er's marriage a few days ago, and wanted to find a good family for her."
Yazheng deliberately took the family to the door very seriously, Madam Xu understood it immediately, and laughed a few times before saying, "My sister is a smart person, so I won't go around you. Sincerely marry her and go back to be his equal wife, my sister will help you to explore the words of the old lady and the eldest lady of your house and see what they mean?"
Ya Zheng secretly said that it was dangerous, but fortunately Madam Xu was not looking for her sister-in-law. She smiled and said, "Sister, I know you have good intentions, but as you said, Zheng'er's looks and talents are all excellent, and there is no reason to be a concubine."
"What my sister said, a flat wife is also a wife, not a concubine." Madam Xu quibble, "General Wang is the commander-in-chief of the forbidden army of the third rank, and Xiao General Wang will go into battle and make military exploits in the future. A high-quality official position. Isn't the most important thing for a woman to marry a good man who takes herself to heart? My sister said, is this the truth?"
Ya Zheng took a smile and asked lightly, "Can my sister ask General Wang about marrying an equal wife, can he get the consent of his father General Wang?"
Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes, "I really didn't ask about that, but since the little general opened his mouth, General Wang must have no objection."
"Marriage matters should be decided by the parents. The elder sister didn't know what General Wang and the general's wife meant. This can only be a gossip between our sisters. Sister, what kind of people would let their son marry. Equal wife, what kind of family would send their daughter to be an equal wife?"
Yazheng's tone is calm, but the meaning of the words is not so friendly. There is a difference between the descendants and the concubines. Only the families of merchants who are not in the mainstream will consolidate their business by marrying flat wives. No matter how indulgent Wang Jihe is in the Wang family, they will never let him marry a flat wife and confuse his descendants, and the daughter of the Jiang family will not let people do this!
Mrs. Xu has been a matchmaker for many years, how could she not understand this truth? Yazheng understood in his heart that Mrs. Xu was able to bring this matter to the Jiang family for Wang Jihe, firstly because of the benefits of Wang Jihe, and secondly because it was rumored in Kang'an that the Jiang family never knew the rules. This second point made Yazheng the most angry. Mrs. Xu looked down on the Jiang family like this, and she didn't dare to invite her as a matchmaker for the marriage of the Jiang family's children.
After sent Madam Xu away, Yazheng went straight to the North Courtyard and told her mother exactly what happened. After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang was also very angry. Yazheng quickly persuaded, "Mother, after this incident, we can see her as a person, and we should guard against her in the future. Don't let her get angry."
Mrs. Jiang closed her eyes for a moment before asking, "Wang Jihe has seen the second girl before?"
Yazheng replied, "When my daughter-in-law took the children to the piano shop to test the piano, he bought a piano downstairs. However, Zhenger didn't show up, let alone say a word to him. He must have seen us when we went in and out of the piano shop. It was the negligence of my daughter-in-law that allowed Zheng'er to suffer such humiliation."
"It's no wonder you, who would have expected the Wang family to raise such a son!" Mrs. Jiang said angrily, "I ordered him to go on, and he won't be allowed to enter the door of my Jiang family again!"
"Yes." Ya Zheng responded and asked for instructions, "Mother, where's my sister-in-law?"
"I told her that the daughters of our Jiang family can't be concubines, no matter if they are concubines!" The more Mrs. Jiang thought about it, the more she could not come out.
No, she wants to talk to her two sons, this must not be left alone! Although the eldest son can't clean up Wang Jihe and the Xu family, the younger son must have!
