Chapter 836: it's your turn

   Chapter 836 It's your turn

  Wang Wenqiao didn't want his daughter to fill the house, so after returning to the study, he ordered the book boy to call his eldest daughter.

  Wang Youhan followed her biological mother, Meng Shi, both in appearance and temperament. Seeing the icy appearance of Sixteen's daughter, Wang Wenqiao couldn't help but recall the ghastly look on Meng's face after the Meng family accident.

   He lowered his eyes and took a sip of his tea before he suppressed his memories and said gently, "It's almost New Year's Eve, it's busy outside these days, you and Xiner don't always read in the house, it's better to go out to relax."

   The slim Wang Youhan lowered his eyes and replied respectfully and calmly, "Yes."

   Her heart is not as peaceful as she looks. The grandfather's family was defeated, the uncle's family went far to the frontier, the cousin died, and all the people who had been friends with the Wang family cut off contact with the Wang family. Where can she and her sister go to relax if they can't receive invitations? Now that the stepmother is in charge of the central feeder, she and her sister's monthly schedule has been reduced to just enough to buy rouge gouache. What are you going to do in Fang Market? Let people laugh at their old clothes and the old jewelry on their heads?

After a while of silence in the house, Wang Wenqiao finally came back to his senses and broke the silence, "Tomorrow your cousin will be buried, you and Xiner and your mother will go to Lizhengfang to see her for the last time. If Yuanxue is willing, take her back to live for a while. day."

  Father finally said something useful, and Wang Youhan's voice became warmer, but it was still one word: "Yes."

  Wang Wenqiao raised his eyes to look at his seemingly submissive daughter and asked, "Are you still blaming the father?"

   "I don't have a daughter." Wang Youhan raised her eyes to look at her father, "If you hadn't acted decisively, your daughter and younger sister would have already been a piece of loess, and the father's rebirth grace would never be forgotten, so how could she blame you?"

Wang Wenqiao was a little moved. He persuaded his daughter and said, "Our father and daughter can survive because of your uncle's mediation. Your grandfather and uncle are to blame for themselves, and you can't blame the Jiang family. As a father, I don't persuade you and Yan'er to be like when we were children. It's better, but it can't be like an enemy, the Jiang family is kind to us."

   Does she want to become an enemy with Jiang Muyan? It was clear that Jiang Muyan looked down on her and did not want to be with her! Wang Youhan lowered her eyes and said obediently, "My daughter will keep her father's teachings in mind, and she will live in harmony with her cousin in the future."

Seeing that his daughter has grown up and sensible, Wang Wenqiao wanted to say a few more words, "You will be seventeen next year, and you will be the age of marriage. There is a scholar named Du Mingxin in Hanxi College. He is a middle-aged scholar at the age of thirteen. Excellent. Pick a day for your father to bring him back to the manor, and you can meet him. If you think it is suitable, you can arrange the marriage..."

   Wang Youhan interrupted his father, "Father, how is this person's family background?"

Wang Wenqiao introduced to his daughter in detail Du Mingxin, whom he had seen for a long time before deciding, "His ancestral home is in Lanyang, south of Beijing. Household, but it is also rich..."

But it was only a scholar who didn't make it into a small official's family. The fire in Wang Youhan's eyes went out immediately, and when his father finished speaking, he said, "The person my father likes is very good. However, the daughter thinks that she should wait for the eldest sister. It would be better to invite him after the funeral."

   Until then, he has entered the manor, and it has nothing to do with him. Such a good marriage should be kept for his sister. Wang Youhan turned around and walked out slowly.

  …

   "Come over here, it's warm here." Before Jiang Liu's words were finished, the elder sister came back, which was exactly what his brother said, "Go early and come back early".

   Jiang Muyan showed a satisfied smile when she saw Jiang Ling still sitting on the chair. After taking off her cloak, she first roasted her hands by the brazier, and then sat down next to her sister on the soft slump.

  Jiang Liu handed the stove to his sister, and put the silk and cotton quilt over her lap before asking, "Is your grandmother okay?"

   "Very good." The year my uncle was dismissed and assigned, my grandmother was seriously ill. Last winter, she also had a constant cough. After a year of recuperation, the cough has disappeared this year, and she is more energetic. Jiang Muyan warmed her hands for a while, then picked up the peeled pumpkin seeds in the plate and ate a few seeds before she said in a low voice, "I looked at it coldly, it seems that Mrs. Liu intends to let the second cousin fill the house for the elder cousin's husband."

No way! What is the matter if the daughter-in-law who has not left the cabinet is sent to fill in the house! Jiang Liu was really shocked, "Second uncle won't let her mess around."

   Jiang Ling said, "If Wang Youhan wants to enter Zhang's house, the second uncle can't stop him."

  Wang Youhan want to go? Jiang Liu put down his notebook and looked at his sister.

Jiang Muyan whispered, "Liu Shi mentioned that Yuan Xue lost her mother at a young age, and said that she couldn't keep her cousin's dowry. I know what she said to me. At that time, the second and third cousins ​​were both In the presence, the second cousin should also understand Liu's meaning, she did not appear unhappy, and she must be willing in her heart."

Sister    is very keen in this regard. She said that Wang Youhan has it, and she is inseparable. Wang Youhan is really... Jiang Liu was about to sigh, but thinking of what her sister said that she couldn't sigh at the end of the year, she held it back again.

   Eat too much melon seeds and get angry, Jiang Ling brought a plate of small oranges from the table and placed it on the small table beside the third sister and sister, and then asked, "What kind of family is Wang Youhan's family right now?"

While peeling the oranges, Jiang Muyan analyzed, "With the help of the "Famous Xiaozhuan Family Tracing the Origin" written with my uncle, my second uncle got a job in Hanxi Academy, and his reputation has gradually improved in the past two years, and is highly respected by teachers and students of Hanxi Academy. The second cousin's appearance is outstanding, and she is excellent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although the Wang family is not as good as the previous years, the second cousin's dowry will not be much worse than the eldest cousin. But even so, because of her biological mother, the second cousin can't get in. A serious official family can only marry into a wealthy farming family."

   Jiang Liu ate the oranges given by his sister and asserted, "Second cousin will definitely not be reconciled."

  Jiang Muyan nodded. Zhang Xupu's father was edited by Hanlin. He lost his wife and no son. If Wang Youhan could fill Zhang Xupu's house in the name of taking care of his eldest sister and his youngest daughter, it would be justifiable. Once she gives birth to a son for Zhang Xupu, she will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Zhang family, which is much more beautiful than marrying into a family of Gengdu as a wife, but, "The Zhang family may not be able to see the second cousin."

   Jiang Liu nodded, "We can't control how they toss, as long as we don't get involved."

  Jiang Ling raised his eyes and said, "Tomorrow Zhang's family will be mourning, my eldest brother and I will go there, and the third sister will take care of Liuer at home."

   Wang Youying's in-laws are still there, so the funeral will not be a big deal, but both Zhang's and Wang's families have sent the Jiang's funeral news, and the Jiang's family should send someone over on the day of Wang Youying's burial.

   Jiang Dalang represented the big house of the Jiang family and responded to the request of the uncle and Zhang Kairun to work together in the Hanlin Academy; Jiang Ling represented the second house of the Jiang family and responded to the request of the Wang family. When the two of them went over, no one could fault it. Jiang Ling will not enter the Zhang family's house when he goes, no matter what Liu Shi and Wang Youhan are planning, they can't and dare not involve him. After thinking about this, Jiang Muyan felt that it was the most suitable for Jiang Ling to go, and she urged, "You go to the station and come back early."

  Jiang Ling replied, "When I come back, I will walk over the Yumen Bridge and buy some sour sour sauce and sauce duck neck. What else do you want to eat?"

  Is it inappropriate for the eldest cousin to eat duck neck with sauce as soon as they are buried? Before Jiang Muyan could speak, Jiang Mujin rushed in like a cannonball and said, "Brother Ling, the eldest brother-in-law is here again, it's your turn!"
