Aunt Xu was also assigned a seat. Wasn't it the two people that Matchmaker Yang showed her? Wang Xiucai was dressed in decent blue clothes. He looked elegant and bookish, and looked very handsome. She was also delicate, and although his wife was a little stunned, she was smiling, sitting neatly on the chair, and her well-behaved appearance was still vivid in her mind. She was not the overbearing and unreasonable shrew she saw today. appearance.
Matchmaker Yang had a smile on her face and said to Aunt Xu: "Sister, I'm sorry for you. Who knew the Wang family would regret the marriage? I'm really sorry for delaying your girl for so long."
Aunt Xu was very resentful towards Matchmaker Yang, "Thankfully I treat you as my sister. If you do this, aren't you pushing my second lady into the fire pit?" Aunt Xu had helped Matchmaker Yang a lot in the past.
Matchmaker Yang was a little red-faced. The Wang family's mother-in-law had that kind of virtue. She had trained her many times, and she could only manage it for a while. It must have been passed down from her ancestors, and she also hated iron.
Early this morning, before dawn, Mrs. Wang came to her house and decided to cancel the marriage. She seemed quite anxious.
"Wang Yuan is a scholar after all, and he has a bright future. It is better to marry a girl from the Marquis's family than a girl from a merchant's family." Matchmaker Yang advised Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang was determined to ask her son to break off the engagement.
Wang Yuan stood aside blankly, letting his mother make troubles and screams hard without saying a word. He looked elegant in white clothes. He had never been to the Anping Marquis Mansion. He didn't expect that the courtyard was so big. In his heart, he He doesn't want to break off the engagement at all, it's all because his mother is greedy for money. It's better to marry the daughter of a marquis than a merchant's family. He understands this truth.
But who told them to owe the princess 10,000 taels of silver? Shang Xiaohua's family was rich. As long as Shang Xiaohua married him, her father was willing to pay back the money for them, and told him to study hard and arrange the wedding for them if he passed the exam. , this is what Master Shang personally promised them.
As soon as Mrs. Wang heard Aunt Xu's words, she immediately stopped obeying, "What kind of fire pit? She is a concubine raised by an aunt. My Bao'er is a serious scholar. In the future, he will be admitted to the Juren Examination, and then the Number One Scholar, what kind of prince, general or prime minister's family?" You can't marry a rich young lady, but you still care about your girl."
Aunt Xu couldn't answer and just kept crying. Although the second young lady was a concubine, the old lady paid attention to the character of her children and hired a teacher to teach them how to read since they were young. Although the second young lady was not good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, the second young lady was also good at embroidery. As for the things that can be done, since the marriage was made and the wedding was arranged, there was not a single piece of the dowry that the second lady did not embroider stitch by stitch herself, including the clothes and shoes for her husband's family, all of which came from her hands. If she really wanted to move these things to Wang's house, she would have to cry to death to finish it.
The old lady was not angry after hearing this, she just said: "So, Wang Xiucai also wants to cancel the marriage." Yu knew that there was never any reason to talk to the shrew, so she didn't bother to talk to her, and coldly gouged out He glanced at Mrs. Wang.
Wang Yuan, sitting on the other side, was frightened by the old lady's sharp eyes. He stood up and said, "Yes..."
"That's very good. We originally wanted to invite Wang Xiucai to come over to discuss the matter of breaking off the engagement. It happened that the two families coincided with each other and actually wanted to go to the same place. This marriage is really strange. Not to mention the engagement. Before we get married, even if we get married and don't see each other, we have to make peace with each other. That's all, Mrs. Xu, go and get the Wang family's betrothal gift. Returning the original gift will be considered as canceling the marriage." The old lady has a good temper, and if you provoke her If she can't afford such a family, she can always hide away.
