It was also a coincidence that the upper-class Jinling family knew that Mrs. Yao would attend this banquet, so many people came. This time, there was actually a sister-in-law from the Xie family who came.
When Sister-in-law Xie saw that Mrs. Yao was specifically talking to her, she was overjoyed and quickly approached her to get close to her.
Her husband's family is not a big family, it is just a middle-class family in Aurous Hill. At banquets where noble ladies frequently attend, she really doesn't attract much attention.
Faced with the olive branch handed over by Mrs. Yao, Aunt Xie was unhappy and climbed up the pole.
One was intentional and the other was sincere, and the two of them soon started chatting enthusiastically.
Gradually, Mrs. Yao began to inquire about Miss Xie's natal family.
Sister-in-law Xie was very clever and suddenly realized something was wrong.
The two of them had just met and hadn't gotten to know each other well yet. Why did they suddenly ask about her family's affairs?
Because she felt it was strange, Sister-in-law Xie said a few words tentatively, but she didn't go into too much detail, she just gave a general overview.
"Does your family have a nephew who is particularly good at business?"
"I don't know which one you are talking about. If you are talking about the second son of my eldest brother's family, he is indeed learning to do business, but it is not that he has done anything special. He is just getting older and his family lets him go around.
Just walk around and learn something..." Sister-in-law Xie did not let go, and shackled her nephew to become a businessman.
After all, the businessman's status is low and he is young and has not yet determined. It can be said that the elders in the family are helping him take care of things.
As for what will happen next, that is a matter for the future.
Mrs. Yao smiled and said: "That's great. You are successful at a young age and know how to help the family. You are a promising person. Unlike my husband's sixth brother, who is already seventeen years old and has no talent yet."
If you know how to do business, it will almost make the old lady at home worried to death."
Sister-in-law Xie agreed, unable to guess what Mrs. Yao wanted to do for the moment.
You can't, you just want to complain to her about the fact that there is such a poor person in your family, right?
Mrs. Yao talked about something else, then pretended to mention it accidentally and said: "A few days ago, my husband's sixth brother was sick, and I don't know if it will affect the marriage of the two younger sisters. My husband's sixth brother was ill.
The two sisters are twins, one is delicate and the other is quiet. The delicate one is fine. The old lady decided to give it to a scholar, waiting to become an official's wife in the future. It's a pity that the younger one is soft and weak...
"
Sighing, it seems that she is really worried about the girls at home. They are both twins. One of them is engaged and settled, so there is no need to worry about Yao Liuye affecting the marriage; but the younger one is too quiet and not as lovable as the older one.
I know how to coax people, but I don’t know if I might have any worries because of this.
"Originally, we sisters-in-law should take them out to walk around more, but their second sister-in-law is about to give birth, and I am not lacking in skills..."
"Whether they are born in Jinling or born and raised in Nanjing, I can give them a few handkerchiefs to take care of them and have a place to relax."
"It's really hard to handle things like this."
…
First he asked about his nephew who was a businessman, and then he said he was worried about his sister's marriage. It was such an obvious hint that Sister-in-law Xie would be really stupid if she couldn't hear it.
But she really didn't expect that Mrs. Yao would actually tell her this?!
Wait, the girl from the Yao family doesn't have to worry about getting married, right?
Even if they are from a concubine, just for the business in Baixiang Pavilion, there are probably many people who want to marry into the Yao family, right?
It's just that Sister-in-law Xie doesn't dare to make the decision in this matter. After all, she is a sister-in-law who is married outside. She has no control over heaven and earth, but she has no control over the marriage affairs of her nephew in her natal family.
Sister-in-law Xie did not dare to give Mrs. Yao an accurate answer on this matter. She just followed Mrs. Yao's words and praised her twin sisters. She said that when she was in her natal family, there were few sisters in the family. She was really envious of them.
My twin sisters have had a companion since they were little.
When I grow up, it is a great blessing to meet a sister-in-law as gentle and kind as Mrs. Yao.
"Mrs. Yao, if you don't worry, next time there is a flower party, I will ask my husband's sister to invite your sister to come out and play together."
"That's good, then it's settled. I'll wait for your good news."
"Why."
…
After attending a banquet and finding such a good match for her nephew, Miss Xie felt proud, and went to her parents' house herself after returning home.
"Yao family? Real or fake? His family's conditions are so good, how could he fall in love with your nephew?" After hearing this, Mrs. Xie looked suspicious.
The Xie family is not a particularly big family. Although there are people in the family who are officials, they can't compete with the Yao family from Beijing. Even if they want to pull strings, they should look for those who are high-ranking officials. No matter what, they can't get their turn.
Home right?
"Mom, Xuefeng is not bad, why can't people like it? Besides, the person who got married is a concubine, not a legitimate daughter. Where can I put it in a house that is not used for marriage?" Sister-in-law Xie turned over a page.
Rolling his eyes, he advised, "Their family should raise them more carefully, and the concubine will get more benefits. If she doesn't use them, she will have to worry about a pair of chopsticks, and she may not know who she will marry in the future..."
For example, her husband's family is also a concubine. If she marries a high-ranking daughter, she will marry a low-ranking daughter. The difference is huge.
The better ones would live in a rich family and earn a living; the worse ones would be thrown directly into the rich families as concubines, and they would never know when they would die.
"Then according to what you say, you can't marry her. Xuefeng is your eldest brother's legitimate son, so how can you marry a concubine..." When Mrs. Xie heard this, she disagreed even more.
The eldest grandson is the leader of the Xie family, so it is natural for him to be valued by everyone, but Xie Xuefeng is also her grandson. No matter how partial she is, she cannot wrong her grandson.
Mrs. Xie said, "Whether the teaching is good or not is a question. If the teaching is not good, won't it harm Xuefeng? No matter how good the Yao family's Baixiang Pavilion is, you can't even destroy your nephew's descendants for that little thing.
I won’t want it for half my life.”
"Mom, you are overthinking. Who are the Yao family? They are from the capital, and their eldest son is a viscount. He is also a well-known scholar. It is said that he is currently taking the provincial examination..." Sister-in-law Xie said one sentence after another.
Talk to her mother and tell her that the Yao family is not a big, messy family and has very good rules. I think the education of the girls in the family is not too bad.
Otherwise, it will be a slap in the face of their Yao family.
How can a family who really cares about their daughter mess with her daughter?
If the Yao family really didn't care about this concubine, there would be no need to spend time choosing a future husband. If she was a good-looking one, wouldn't it be better to just find someone from a powerful family and throw her as a concubine to build a relationship?
When she was in Jinling, she often saw such operations from big families.
But is this the case in the Yao family?
No.
The elder of the twins was booked to be a scholar. She sent someone to inquire about it and found out that the scholar was studying at Baishan Academy. He was indeed very potential and had a very good relationship with the Yao family.
This time, the two of them went to the provincial examination together.
As long as he survives these few years and has the Yao family as a big backer, maybe the uncle will be able to have an official position in the future, that is, an official wife. Compared with her sisters-in-law and cousin-in-law, she will not be too bad.
.
The person who chose Xie Xuefeng from their family must have inquired about the remaining one.
