Mr. Zhang Er stood up and walked out. He hoped that his wife would restrain herself after listening to his words. As an elder, he could not directly talk to the female relatives who came to the house. This matter still had to be handled by his wife. At least she had to kick the first step.
.
Mr. Zhang Er walked into the front yard and was immediately greeted by a butler.
Mr. Zhang Er said, "I don't know if this is possible?" The Jing family has been running the family for so many years, and he has never asked questions. He thinks that he has no fame and is not a competitive person.
No matter how much trouble there was, it was all about family matters, but now it's different. This is Mo Lan's marriage.
He already regretted not helping when something happened to the Yang family. He couldn't let his mistake go to the end.
The steward said in a low voice: "The master has never been in trouble with his wife. If the quarrel is so big this time, the wife will definitely do what the master wants."
That's good.
Mr. Zhang Er said: "Go and show the post to your wife so that she can arrange it quickly."
The steward responded and handed the post from Mrs. Qing's wife of Honglu Temple to the inner courtyard.
…
"The master said that someone will come to the door soon to discuss the matter." Wu's mother received the post and immediately reported it to Jing.
Mrs. Jing finished reading the post, her hands couldn't help trembling, and she looked at Wu's mother, "Look, look, he actually...hides everything from me. This post was sent yesterday, but he deliberately withheld it.
Don’t mention it to me.”
Mother Wu didn't know what to say. The master didn't know what happened this time, so he got into trouble with his wife like this.
Jing's eyes turned red and tears fell, "I knew that with me like this... sooner or later I wouldn't be able to keep his heart." After saying this, she started to cry sadly.
Mother Wu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her, "Madam, don't worry, the master is like this when he is angry for a moment. Think about it, the master has never expressed sadness after my aunt went there. Maybe this time when he came to Beijing and saw the Yang family like this, he
The master felt sad, so he released it to his wife."
Mrs. Jing wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "He thinks I have a vicious heart. Don't I feel sorry for my niece? I only acted like this after hearing rumors from outside. I came to teach her a lesson just because she is a member of my family."
Mother Wu poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Jing, "My wife was also deceived by the Chang family." At this point, Mother Wu's voice changed, "But now that everything is clear, my wife should also be prepared. Don't make the master sad because of this matter."
.”
Mrs. Jing couldn't help but feel a shiver in her heart. She was not afraid of the master. She thought of something, "Tell me, why do some officials' children want to marry Molan?"
Why? Who can say for sure? Mother Wu shook her head.
Mrs. Jing obviously didn't really want to hear what Mother Wu had to say. After thinking about it for a moment, her eyes suddenly shone, "Do you think it's because of the Yang family's property?"
All she could think of was this. If it was not for status, it must be for money. There is no reason for two families to get married for no reason. The court did not ask the Chang family to return the Yang family's one million taels of property. Now, although the Chang family does not need to return that much,
But I found an IOU from the imperial court that owed the Yang family herbs and money.
That's a lot of money.
Jing's mind suddenly started to spin rapidly. If she had known it would be like this today, she would not have gone to Baohe Hall to scold Yang. Jing could not express regret.
"What should we do next?" Mrs. Jing looked at Wu's mother.
Mother Wu said: "I think the wife should follow the master's wishes for now. When the master is relieved, the wife can talk about her grievances." As the saying goes, if a couple quarrels at the end of the bed, they will inevitably get angry when they quarrel.
You may say some unpleasant words, but you will forget them when you turn around. If you are sad because of this, you will not be able to live a good life.
Mrs. Jing looked at Mother Wu, "Hurry and prepare the refreshments, the guests will be here soon."
That's right, the master is soft-hearted and will definitely forget about it when he sees his wife changing her attitude.
Thinking that there was no one else in the Yang family and so much money fell on Yang Molan alone, Jing felt uncomfortable all over. "The other party is a son of an official, so he should be very particular about marriage."
Mother Wu nodded, "That's why I specially told my wife."
A proud smile appeared on Mrs. Jing's face, "Actually, I like this child Molan very much. I praised her for her intelligence when she was a child."
Mother Wu couldn't figure out what Mrs. Wu meant.
"That's why I get angry when I hear those gossips. I love you deeply, but the master doesn't understand my thoughts. When I marry the Chang family, I also want to ease the relationship between the two parties. After all, Mrs. Chang is Molan's only one.
Auntie, I am also afraid that Mo Lan will not find a good home, and I want to get this marriage back to the Chang family."
Hearing what his wife said, Mrs. Wu understood a little better. She wanted to show her kindness to Miss Yang and turn the hostility into friendship.
Mother Wu smiled and nodded repeatedly, "What the madam said is," so that the master will not hold on to the wife's faults. "I will go and tell the master that the wife is very sad..."
Jing said: "If you think about it carefully, it will not be easy for Molan to be alone in Beijing. If she is wronged in her husband's family in the future, she will not even have anyone to support her. It is easier said than done to practice medicine outside. I don't know how many people will come out to stop her.
I feel uneasy thinking about it. No matter how high the threshold of my husband's family is, I don't know what will happen."
Mrs. Jing took a sip of tea and sat relaxed in the chair, with a smile on her face. She felt that she had thought of a good way, "Molan is four years younger than Brother Yu, so the age is just right."
Only then did Wu's mother realize, "Madam, do you want to get closer?"
What's wrong with that? Mrs. Jing said: "What's better than marrying into my uncle's family? I won't dislike her practicing medicine. Brother Yu's temperament is beyond words."
Getting married between cousins is the icing on the cake, but Mother Wu said, "Someone is already planning to propose marriage. From the looks of it, I seem very satisfied."
Otherwise, I would not have spoken to my wife so solemnly and said so many cruel words.
Mother Wu always felt that this matter would not work. My wife had a conflict with Miss Yang in the Baohe Hall before. How would we get along with each other in the future?
Mrs. Jing chuckled lightly, "Of course I have a way. As long as such a marriage is a little difficult for them, they will shrink back." And she would do it calmly. It seemed that she was only thinking about Molan.
Mother Wu didn't know what her wife was going to do.
Mrs. Jing said: "The house must be tidied up. We must pay close attention to this matter as the master said."
Mother Wu immediately nodded, "I'll make arrangements right away."
As soon as the Zhang family was ready, a servant came and said, "Mrs. Lin is here."
Mr. Jing immediately went out to welcome him.
Mrs. Lin was startled when she saw Mrs. Jing coming in. She didn't expect that Miss Yang's aunt... was ill. One of her arms was shaking badly, but she still had a smile on her face. She immediately bowed when she saw her.
, "This must be Mrs. Lin."
Mrs. Lin returned the greeting with a smile, "Mrs. Zhang."
The two of them entered the main room. Mrs. Jing immediately asked someone to serve refreshments and talked to Mrs. Lin freely, "We have just arrived in Beijing and the yard has not been tidied up yet. Mrs. Lin, don't be offended." At this point, let's get down to business.
Under Mrs. Lin's gaze, Mrs. Jing raised her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Mrs. Jing felt very sad when she mentioned Yang Mo, "Has Mrs. Lin seen our Mo Lan?"
Mrs. Lin had heard that Mrs. Jing came to reprimand Miss Yang, and she was already prepared in her heart. No matter what Mr. Jing said, she would promote this marriage. After all, this was a major event entrusted to her by the concubine. "I haven't seen it, but it's true."
I heard about Miss Yang. Miss Yang reopened the Baohe Hall of the Yang family and is now the most famous doctor in our Zhou Dynasty. Even Judge Ding of Taiyuan Hospital was full of praise for Miss Yang."
Yang Molan's reputation was very great, but Jing really didn't expect that a woman could achieve such a reputation.
Mrs. Jing nodded, "We, Molan, are a hard-luck child. We had no support at such a young age, and it was hard to support the Yang family. This child has been filial since he was a child, so he inherited the Yang family's medical skills."
Mrs. Lin listened carefully, she wanted to know what this aunt was going to say, but looking at Jing's trembling arms and the tears on her face, she felt that it was not easy for Jing.
Mrs. Jing wiped away the tears on her face before raising her head again, "To make Mrs. Lin laugh, I just thought of our great-aunt... When our great-aunt was here, we often corresponded, but she just disappeared... I
I feel really sad, our aunt has no children, and after Molan got married, there was no one in the Yang family to continue the family relationship, so we, Molan, wanted to recruit a new wife."
Mrs. Lin's expression changed when she heard the word "brother-in-law", but she immediately covered it up, "It's not bad to ask for a new wife. If there is a better marriage, why bother to ask for a new wife? Mrs. Zhang said yes or no?" She had also heard that Miss Yang was like this.
I just moved out from the Chang family, but the Chang family can't compare to the clan.
Mrs. Lin wanted to talk about the benefits of the clan, which is a good marriage, but before she could say anything, Mrs. Jing said, "It's just that the Yang family's medical skills are not passed down, and the Yang family's ancestral property is also unknown.
As for the distribution, it would be great if Molan gave birth to a son who could inherit the Yang family."
Give birth to a son to inherit the Yang family. Does this mean that Miss Yang will give birth to a son with the surname Yang? Mrs. Lin looked at Mr. Jing, who nodded. How could the descendants of the clan family change their surname to Yang? This is impossible.
How could this aunt say this? She has never heard of such a thing.
Mother Wu raised her eyes and realized that her wife had come up with such an idea.
Mrs. Jing sighed, "That's why our master wants to talk to the elders directly."
It's not impossible to meet the elders directly, but mentioning the elders immediately after saying the previous words is not a threat. It seems that as long as the Zhou family doesn't agree, even the elders don't need to come to the door anymore.
This aunt is really good at making conditions.
What should she say? Mrs. Lin couldn't sit still and looked at Mrs. Jing with a smile, "I will go back and say, if it is convenient, of course the sooner we meet, the better."
Mrs. Jing smiled and nodded, "That's great. We also want to see Molan get married as soon as possible, and the Yang family will have a good outcome."
Mrs. Lin felt uncomfortable all over. It seemed that she had agreed to Mrs. Jing's request. There was no point in sitting down like this anymore. Don't do bad things out of kindness. She had better go back and tell the concubine the whole story.
