Chapter 695: Be realistic when talking about marriage
Since the incident happened to the Qin family, the Ding family has stayed away from the incident and refused to see Mrs. Qin for fear of being implicated and asked for help. Later, they came to apologize to Mrs. Qin and refused to see her. Now, now, they treat everything as nothing happened and send invitations to the banquet.
Qin Liuxi said, the faces of the Ding family are made of city walls, right?
But this is understandable. Face can't be eaten as food. How can it be compared with profit, especially in the officialdom, where people pay more attention to connections. Seeing that more and more people are receiving Qin Liuxi's favor, it's just the Ding family who can't do it.
How can the Ding family still sit still if they don't have nobles? They just smell it and want to establish a relationship.
It's a good thing that the Ding family is not in Shengjing, otherwise Qin Liuxi, the person who befriended Yue in Shengjing, would be the one standing on the power pyramid, and they wouldn't have pink eye.
But just what they found out was enough for them to put down their bodies and shamelessly climb up.
The bustle in the world is all for benefit; the hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit.
The Ding family’s move is easy to understand.
It's one thing to understand, but it's hard to say whether Qin Liuxi will follow their script.
"I don't have the magnanimity to shake hands and make peace with the past, so I won't go to this banquet." Qin Liuxi stretched out his hand to straighten the small beads on Qin Mingbao's bun, and spoke calmly.
She was not a girl who grew up in the back house. She had no interest in banquets in the back house. It wasn't because she didn't like it, but because she didn't like it. The idea of little girls fighting and comparing themselves seemed very boring to her.
As for the transfer of benefits, she is not a member of the Xuanmen and does not do these things. It is impossible for the Qin family to take advantage of her.
She gives some things, and they take over, but if she doesn't give them, there's no way they can use her name.
As for the Ding family, who are they? Just let her go. If she really goes, they won't be able to go to heaven.
Qin Liuxi said he couldn't go. The first thing he was worried about was the little girl Qin Mingyue. This was the first time someone invited them to a banquet since she returned to her old house. If she didn't go this time, what about next time?
Are you going to stay in this house from now on? How can you have any future?
Qin Mingyue and other boudoir girls are different from Qin Liuxi. They have been here since they were young. When they were young, they would occasionally go to some banquets with their elders. But when they were twelve years old, they would go out to banquets more often, because this was something that officials did not do.
According to the traditional rules, if a girl in my family has just grown up, she goes out at such an age so that the ladies can see if there is a suitable one for marriage.
The timing of the Qin family's defeat is quite embarrassing. Qin Mingyue is already fourteen years old, and she is already fifteen in real terms. It's time for them to get married. If they stay at home again, will they become an old girl?
She is fourteen, so Song Yuyan is even more embarrassed. She is going to have haircut in June this year, so getting married will be put on the agenda.
Qin Liuxi heard Qin Mingyue's rapid breathing, glanced over, and saw Song Yuyan wearing an autumn-colored skirt near the door with a demure look on her face. Her eyes flashed, and she finally realized what they were thinking.
"You all go down." She looked at those people.
Qin Mingyue was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something. When Qin Liuxi looked at her coldly, she lowered her eyes, curtsied slightly and retreated.
After all the juniors had left, Qin Liuxi looked at Mrs. Qin: "Do you want to go to the banquet?"
Old Mrs. Qin: "I can't go."
She'd better not bother with her sickly body.
Mrs. Wang then said: "It's not that I really want to go. It's just that your sisters have grown up and have been staying there since they came back to the old house without going out."
"Do you want outsiders to see them when you go out? Do you want to get engaged to them?" Qin Liuxi pointed it out directly: "You haven't even got haircut yet, so you are in such a hurry?"
"Your cousin Yuyan is going to have hairpins in June." Wang glanced at Qin Meiniang, who looked embarrassed and bitter, and sighed.
She actually wanted to talk to Qin Liuxi, but Qin Liuxi had already said before that her marriage would not be finalized, and she did not dare to mention it in front of her.
Qin Liuxi looked at Qin Meiniang and said: "The Ding family has a magistrate named Ding. Even though the people attending the banquet are not all official family members, there are also wealthy businessmen and the like, but you want to see her for her. With the current situation of the Qin family,
The selection is estimated to be limited.”
Song Yuyan was indeed a daughter of an official, but she was a daughter of an official who had been kicked out. Her maternal grandfather's family had been convicted again and had yet to be rehabilitated. The sisters had no choice but to follow Qin Meiniang back to their maternal grandfather's home and live under the family roof. There was no dowry, so they could
What should I choose to kiss?
Qin Meiniang also knew this, so her face became more and more embarrassed and pale, and her astringency had spread to her heart.
"It's easy to say marriage, but what you want to say depends on your own conditions and family background. Auntie, do you know what you know?" Qin Liuxi said in a calm voice: "Whether it is to marry Song Yuyan to an official's son as a concubine, or to an ordinary merchant.
, or a student from a poor family or a peasant? If she is the legitimate wife of a government official, I think she can be successful, and I guess she is not a waste of good character."
"Are you looking down on your cousin Yuyan too much?" Ms. Xie couldn't help but say.
Qin Liuxi looked at her, smiled, and said: "Then let me ask Second Aunt, do you like Yu Yan? Think about it carefully, she is only three years older than Qin Mingqi, and the third girl is holding a gold brick.
."
Mr. Xie's face turned green, how could she like Song Yuyan? She had nothing, and her family couldn't help her, so there was no help and no dowry.
She hesitated and said: "What are you talking about? Your third brother only respects Yuyan as a sister."
Qin Meiniang lowered her eyes with a sneer on her lips.
"What about Yuqing? She is also pretty and lovely."
Xie frowned and said, "We were talking about Yu Yan, why did it involve Yu Qing?"
"I'm just curious, second aunt, do you like this niece? I'm going to kiss her."
"I……"
"Look, even Second Aunt, Qin Mingqi is just a white girl who is still studying. As an aunt, you don't look down on their sisters, let alone outsiders? Can other family members be closer than my aunt? Second Aunt, others are not stupid.
, the officials also want to see if their daughter-in-law can help. If they are top-notch people, how can they treat Yu Yan or Qin Mingyue like they are now?"
Xie's face turned dark and she couldn't say a word.
Qin Liuxi's words were sharp, but no one present could refute it, because what she said were all facts and so thorough.
But it was clear that what she said was true, which made all the women present feel a little lonely.
If she wanted to get married now, Song Yuyan's choices would indeed be limited.
Wang looked at Qin Liuxi and asked, "Xi'er, how about you meet Yuyan and ask her about this marriage?"
Everyone was stunned.
Qin Meiniang was also a little confused, but she also reacted with eager eyes.
Yes, this niece has lived in a Taoist sect since she was a child. Her medical skills are good, and her physiognomy should not be bad either. Didn’t she herself say that she can exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts?
Qin Liuxi didn't expect that Wang would ask her to meet Song Yuyan, and was a little surprised for a moment. Isn't this a big reversal?
