Mrs. Liu was curious about what kind of person the fifth child of the Bai family was.
Just now, Liu Hong finished talking about the four sons of Lao Bai's family, and then skipped to the daughter. He only missed Lao Wu who wanted to propose marriage to Cuicui.
If according to what I said, it was the sister-in-law who deliberately pushed out Cuicui from the Bai family's Lao Wu Pit, then that would not be the case.
Although Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Xu have never dealt with each other, it is because the eldest aunt and the younger sister-in-law dislike each other and have different stances. Mrs. Xu was not so vicious as to attack her daughter.
Besides, Cuicui has always been a thoughtful person. If Mrs. Xu had evil intentions towards Cuicui, Cuicui would not be so kind to her aunt.
"Sister, my mother is biased against the Bai family. Don't listen to my nonsense. If you look at the brothers in the Bai family, all of them are handsome young men."
Mrs. Liu nodded. She had not seen the other brothers of the Bai family, but she had met the shopkeeper of Baiji Shop.
It is true that the jade trees grow in the wind, and their appearance and bearing are no worse than those of ordinary officials' children.
Presumably the other brothers are not bad either.
"The fifth eldest son of the Bai family is one year younger than Cuicui. He doesn't like studying like the fourth eldest son, nor is he interested in business like the third eldest son, nor does he want to farm at home like the eldest son." Liu Hong While talking, I was thinking about how to better show my sister the advantages of Lao Wu.
"You don't study, you don't do business, you don't farm. What do you want to do? Be a hands-off shopkeeper at home? Or go to heaven?" Ms. Liu asked unceremoniously, and began to look at Lao Wu with colored glasses.
"Sister, listen to me, he wants to go to the army to gain fame. To tell you the truth, this old man is not just what he says. He has great skills and can kill a tiger with just a handful of strength." Liu Hong said.
"Then the army is so easy to get along with? Who would let their children go to the army, except those who are poor and can't afford to eat. Besides, going to the battlefield is a profession that can lead to death. Cuicui cannot marry such a person. Mrs. Liu couldn't help but interjected.
If it was the fourth eldest child of the Bai family, she could barely support him as a grandmother, but she would look down upon the fifth eldest child of the Bai family.
I don’t know why, but in the past few months, my daughter-in-law has become more and more separated from her, and she has become more and more fierce with Lao Bai’s family.
Not only did Baba send Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, but he also went to the Bai family shop to stand up, and even took Cuicui to the Bai family.
Nothing else mattered, but what she couldn't tolerate the most was destroying Liu Shu's prestige in front of her, saying that Liu Shu was not worthy of the daughter of the Bai family.
He simply didn't take his son as the prefect seriously.
"My son, although you are an official, you don't know the affairs of the inner house. How many times has your wife given you a pillow blow, and she wants to abandon Cuicui to please the Bai family? Then what is there to please the Bai family? Doesn't she have it? My niece, why don't you give it to the fifth child of the Bai family?" Old Mrs. Liu was heartbroken, thinking that Mrs. Xu had cheated her granddaughter.
Mrs. Xu happened to come out of the room with Cuicui, and Mrs. Liu's complaints about her naturally fell into her ears.
, she endured it, but finally couldn't hold it back, and said: "Mom, don't look at the current situation of Lao Bai's family. The Zhongjing Hou Mansion in the capital respects you, and the Zhou family respects you. Just remember the last time you had a relationship with Lao Bai's family." During the festival, I will overthrow everyone with one stroke. To tell you the truth, your son became the prefect so quickly because of the daughter of the Lao Bai family. I really want to marry my niece to the Lao Bai family, but she is in Shu I can't bear to let Cuicui leave her parents and family to go to Shuzhong, so how can I bear to let my niece come all the way here. I've had enough of the pain of marrying far away!"
Mrs. Xu talked about her grievances from the Bai family. The more she talked, the more excited she became. She simply confessed to her eldest sister Liu: "Sister, I have a problem with you, but I can't push Cuicui into the fire pit, just like you can't push her." It's the same as Shu'er entering a pit of fire. The fifth eldest son of the Bai family is now a personal guard of General Meng Zhixu, and his sister has passed on the blessing to him, can his future be bad? Another thing, I am a woman, and so is the eldest sister, I must The eldest sister also knows that the most uncomfortable thing about being in her husband's family is being suppressed by her mother-in-law and carrying on the family line. The parents-in-law of the Bai family treat their daughter-in-law like a daughter. Although they have many sons, the sisters-in-law are harmonious, and Cuicui will not have any pressure to have sons in the future."
Mrs. Liu couldn't find the right words to express her anger even though she wanted to get angry. Apart from anything else, she only had one thought in her mind. Did her son become the prefect by taking advantage of the little girl of the Bai family?
Then doesn't her destiny also come from that girl?
Cuicui later married into the Bai family, which made her, the grandmother, show off her power to the old lady Bai.
Liu Hong, on the other hand, felt more and more that his wife had been wronged, especially the pain of marrying far away, which touched Liu Hong. In the future, he would not allow his mother to bully his wife.
Xu's words also touched Liu's heart.
"...Well, sister-in-law, I understand your thoughts. You will never harm Cuicui. I entrusted Cuicui's marriage to my brother. In fact, I know that you are the one who took care of me. You found this for Cuicui. The marriage relationship is very good. It’s hard to find a family like this that the parents-in-law understandably treat their daughter-in-law as a daughter-in-law." Ms. Liu said.
Mrs. Liu was so easy to talk to, Mrs. Xu was confused for the first time.
This style of painting is different from what she imagined. Mrs. Xu was prepared to smash her, but she really didn't expect that her eldest sister would be so confidant to her.
"Mom, please don't get involved in Cuicui's affairs. Since my brothers and sisters-in-law all say that the Lao Bai family is good, I have nothing to say." Old Mrs. Liu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Mrs. Liu.
Cuicui was secretly happy, her face looked very pretty under the beating candlelight.
Mrs. Liu shook her head when she saw it. It was probably Cuicui who went to Lao Bai's house and fell in love with Lao Wu first. It was not easy for her sister-in-law to tell her in front of her.
That’s all, women are not allowed to stay in college.
"Sister, aren't you thinking about it?" Mrs. Xu really didn't expect Mrs. Liu to be so forthcoming.
Liu Hong also didn't expect that he still had a lot of words to convince his sister that he had not yet used.
"I just heard my brother say that the fifth child of the Bai family has a lot of energy and is a good child, and I fell in love with him. Mother said that the fourth child of the Bai family is good, and he is the number one scholar in Huaishui Academy. If you really promise Cuicui to him , I was still in a state of anxiety. I heard that all the scholars who were looking for flowers were princesses who were favored by the royal family. In the previous dynasty, there was a champion who already had a wife. In order to make him a consort, the royal family gave him a wife from his hometown. Dead. I don’t want Cuicui to have such a risk." Liu said firmly.
Liu Hong: "..."
Xu: "..."
The couple never thought that Liu would accept Bai Zhaomei for such a reason.
"What's so good about being a scholar? There are a few people like your uncle who have become prefects. Most scholars don't live as well as those who have land and shops, and they just live in the name of being noble. Your father is also a scholar, and he will spend his life as a scholar. Our family is not living well as a bookkeeper. Since the fifth son of the Bai family is good and ambitious, I agree with this marriage." Mrs. Liu turned to Cuicui and said.
"More importantly, his girl is a lucky girl. If you go in and get her blessing, your life will definitely be good in the future," Mrs. Liu said.
Ms. Liu had some considerations. In a house full of scholars who came from her parents' house to her husband's house, only Liu Hong came out. There were many other scholars who didn't know how to run a business and suffered from many problems.
It would be better to let Cuicui marry a warrior to improve the atmosphere.
"Where's the brother-in-law?" Mrs. Xu was a little worried.
"He doesn't have to worry about it. Cuicui and I just have to take care of this matter." Mrs. Liu made the final decision.
Liu Hong never expected that Bai Zhaomei would pass Liu's son-in-law candidate criteria so easily.
So, the next day, the third son of the Bai family was called in to talk about the matter, and a letter was revised and sent to the old Bai family in Shenshu Village.
