Xu Chunjun was sitting there, peeling walnuts with his two aunts in the second room of the big house.
The peeled walnut kernels were placed in a glass jar, and they were taken to the kitchen to make syrup to make amber walnuts.
Xu Lang returned to his parents' home today. When chatting, he mentioned that he wanted to eat amber walnuts.
Xu Chunjun quickly asked someone to bring walnuts and hurriedly made them for the third aunt to eat.
Xu Lang and Aunt Qin are not pregnant yet, but their tastes have obviously changed.
Xu Langcai didn't like sweets before she got pregnant, but now she eats sweets every day.
And Aunt Qin has to eat a few sour apricots every day, otherwise she will vomit.
"It's enough to peel half a can. If you make too much of this, it will smell like oil in a few days and you won't be able to eat it." Aunt Su said, "I'll send these to the kitchen."
"I'll go with you so that I can have company." Aunt Hua from the second room also stood up quickly.
There were only three people left in the room: Xu Lang, Xu Chunjun and Aunt Qin.
"The Third Master invited me here today to discuss your fourth sister's marriage." Xu Lang did not hide anything from Xu Chunjun and Aunt Qin, "She is one year older than you, so we can't delay it any longer."
Xu Chunjun will leave the cabinet in August this year. Xu Chunsu is her sister, so naturally it is time to talk about marriage.
Under normal circumstances, her marriage should be arranged before Xu Chunjun's. But Xu Chunjun's situation is special, so she can only deal with it flexibly.
"Master, can you tell me which one it is?" Aunt Qin stopped sewing and asked.
"It's the Sun family that lives in Xinghua Lane, Xiuxian Street. Their father, Sun Yaoxuan, is the deputy director of the Shipbuilding Department." Xu Lang said, "He is a very honest and upright man. The Sun family has a clean family tradition and only has one son. Then
Your uncle and your father have both seen the child. He is very hardworking and studious. Although he is not very smart, he is still a trustworthy person."
Xu Chunjun knew that his father must have chosen this marriage first, and then called his third aunt over to discuss it.
"That sounds good," Xu Chunjun asked with a smile, "Does the fourth sister and wife know about it?"
"I probably don't know yet! But in the next two days, I will definitely know." Xu Lang said.
Because she was pregnant, Aunt Qin had to go to the toilet more often. She smiled sheepishly and said: "Auntie, Miss Fifth, you two can talk. I have to go and use it for a while."
Xu Chunjun hurriedly asked the little girl who was following her to help Aunt Qin, and be careful where you step.
After Aunt Qin went out, Xu Lang said to Xu Chunjun: "Actually, the marriage of your fourth sister is not easy to choose at all. With the status of our family now, the higher-ranking people look down on us. The lower-ranking ones often have their own agenda.
Impure.”
Xu Chunjun knew that Xu Lang was telling the truth. Although several uncles in their family did not hold high positions, they still had powerful in-laws from the Chen family.
And although the Zheng family is in ruins, they still hold the title of earl.
In the eyes of some people, these two points are profitable.
"Besides, your fourth sister was raised a little crookedly by the third wife. Your father wanted to straighten her out, so he paid special attention to family tradition when choosing a mate." Xu Lang sighed, "You have to find someone who can control her.
Yes, otherwise there will be drama in the future. Although your fourth sister has some bad things, she is the daughter of our Xu family. As elders, we all hope that she will be well. Besides, when a woman marries, she is reincarnated again.
A good in-law will slowly influence her."
"What my aunt is saying is," Xu Chunjun also agrees with this point. "Although the Sun family is ordinary now, as long as they are willing to make progress and take the right path, they are not afraid of the days when they will not get ahead."
"That's what I mean," Xu Lang nodded, "The days always come out slowly."
The aunt and nephew said a few more words, and then Aunt Qin came back from outside.
After a while, the two aunts brought back the amber walnut kernels.
Xu Lang pinched one and ate it, smiling with satisfaction: "This is the taste! I've been thinking about it for several days."
After dinner that day, Mr. Xu told Mr. Wei about choosing a bride for Xu Chunsu.
"The shipping department is a cold government office, and the sixth-grade official position is a bit low." Wei was not satisfied with the marriage.
"What happened to the sixth rank? Am I not the seventh rank now?!" Mr. Xu asked, "If you only want to get rich as an official, it will be dangerous. When choosing a spouse, you first look at your character, and those external things are all
A false reputation is unreliable."
"The fifth girl is a concubine, and she married into an Earl's Palace." Wei said aggrievedly, "In this generation of the Xu family, we only have two legitimate daughters. Besides, we have returned to the capital now, and the fourth girl is neither paralyzed nor blind.
No matter what, I can marry a fifth-rank official."
"You think so!" Mr. Xu couldn't help pouring cold water on her, "What if our family has returned to the capital now? The three of us brothers have done nothing in the officialdom, and the younger generation is not clear. How can it be?
Are you able to marry a fifth-rank official if you want?"
"Since ancient times, it has been said that when you raise your head to marry a daughter, you lower your head to marry a wife. The fifth-rank official is not unattainable, so why can't you marry her?!" Wei's anger also rose up, "If nothing else, the third aunt and grandma are willing to help
I'm afraid I can't find a good marriage for the fourth girl?!"
She just felt aggrieved, why couldn't her daughter marry higher?
Her eldest son was already disabled, but he still didn't compensate her daughter. How could this keep her from feeling resentful?
"If you say you are confused, you are confused. Now that her parents are both alive, why do you ask her third aunt to choose a mate for her?!" Mr. Xu said, "Chunsu is my biological daughter. As a father, how can I not
Do you love her? It’s just that she has a temperament like hers and needs to be kept stable. If she marries a high man, she will be frivolous and will cause trouble."
"How stable does she have to be for a teenager? According to you, none of those high-ranking people can marry?" Ms. Wei only felt that her husband's words were harsh, "That man surnamed Sun has a big beard.
He is still holding an official position from the sixth rank. I don’t believe his son can go anywhere! I have already suffered enough in my life, and I don’t want my daughter to suffer anymore. Since you said that both parents are alive, her
Marriage is decided by the parents. You are the father and you agree. I am the mother. If I don’t want to, this marriage will not happen!"
"That's unreasonable! Look at what kind of virtues you have educated these children into. How dare you say that you have the final say?" Mr. Xu refused to compromise. "The draft will be drafted in a few days, and the marriage will be completed next year at the latest."
.”
Mrs. Wei was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Who gave you the ecstasy soup and turned your ears off?!"
Now she not only felt that Xu Lang and Xu Chunjun deliberately bullied them, but also included Aunt Qin. She only felt that these three people had no good intentions and tried every means to harm their mother and son.
