However, several of the young men that the eldest lady had chosen were either of too high a family background and did not want to marry Fengwan, or they were already engaged, or they were romantic, playboys and spendthrifts. After choosing from one to another, she was never satisfied.
After being decentralized, Feng Wan felt aggrieved and gradually delayed her decision. In the middle of this year, the fiancée of Fang Chuning, the eldest son of Fang Dashuai, died. The Fang family wanted to choose another marriage. Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Fang were once friends with each other and frequently came and went from the house.
The family intends to betroth Feng Wan to Fang Chuning, and the mothers of both parties have made a verbal agreement.
"My daughter, my parents' orders and the word of the matchmaker are what constitute the marriage contract. Without a matchmaker or a betrothal, how can it count? Don't talk about it and make others laugh. If things change about the marriage, others will only say that I am a delusional person." Feng
Wan said solemnly, "My mother has been slow to choose a son-in-law for me. Others have said that I think highly of myself and would not marry anyone other than a prince. If you continue to talk nonsense and attract criticism, will my sister still be a human being?"
"Sister, don't be angry, I was wrong." Feng Jiao hugged her arm and said coquettishly, "I won't say anything anymore. Let's wait until the Fang family accepts the appointment. Once the two families have agreed, we can be more angry.
Don't always look at the second wife's face. The Fang family and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion are equally matched. Mr. Fang is the eldest son, and his status is more noble than Xie Zhang."
Feng Wan laughed and scolded, "How dare you say that!"
Feng Jiao also smiled, "Okay, okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore."
Although Feng Wan scolded Feng Shu, she was relieved and very happy in her heart. She was the eldest sister in the family, but she had been shrouded in Feng Shu's aura since she was a child. Even though she was beautiful, quiet, and well-educated, she was still suppressed by You.
The younger sister who was the eldest daughter-in-law of Beihou was suffocated. Growing up, she had heard so much gossip. Feng Shu also had a higher status in the family than she did. A noble lady in the capital would bypass her when posting.
Feng Shu, Feng Shu is always jealous of Feng Yu’s beautiful clothes and jewelry, and can’t help but grab them.
The second-in-law sister always overpowers them. It is obvious that her father is a third-grade official and her second uncle is a fifth-grade military attache. Why? She is no worse than Feng Shu, why should she be overshadowed by her? The marriage of the Fang family has been decided.
After that, Feng Wan was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night, just waiting for the Fang family to come to make an appointment. When she heard that the old lady of the Fang family was coming to visit today, Feng Wan had hidden expectations and couldn't help but feel happy.
Marrying is the second time a woman changes her life. Only by marrying better than Feng Shu can she get rid of the shadow of living in her halo since childhood.
Feng Wan hugged her sister lovingly and said, "Yu'er, after my sister's marriage is settled, your marriage will be left unsettled at home. Yu'er's notoriety will affect you, so you should be more mature and steady outside, and let others know that
The girls from the Feng family are well-behaved, chaste, quiet and virtuous, and it will be easy for your mother to propose marriage to you in the future."
Feng Jiao said angrily, "If it weren't for the third sister, your marriage wouldn't be so difficult. The delay has made others question the upbringing of our Feng family. After the hairpin ceremony, it will even affect me. I really hate her."
.”
"My sister, it's hard to explain the law of cause and effect. Although my sister decided to get married late, it was decided well. If she decided to get married early, it may not be good." Feng Wan said softly, "You behave well and sit upright. Others
You will naturally be able to see it.”
"I know, sister."
Fang Lingjun played in Meiyuan very late. When Mrs. Fang came, she didn't let the girls go out to meet the guests. She didn't even let the eldest lady go to meet the guests. The eldest lady and Li's mother stayed in the room and discussed whether they should come to hire her.
If the appointment was to be lowered, the old lady would probably inform the eldest lady. The eldest lady waited anxiously and excitedly, waiting for Mrs. Fang to take Fang Lingjun away.
The eldest lady knew that she was not here to hire someone, so she had a bad premonition in her heart. Feng Wan sat quietly in her courtyard, her face unable to hide her anxiety. Feng Changlin went on duty and asked her mother to send a message for everyone to have dinner.
Later they all went to Songhe Garden.
The old lady is old, likes to be quiet, and has a light taste. She usually does not like to eat with her family. Feng Yu knew the purpose of Old Madam Fang's visit, and her grandmother must be unhappy. She specially brought the osmanthus cake made by Qiuxiang to Songhe Garden.
As expected, the old lady was so angry that she didn't eat dinner. Feng Yu coaxed her to eat a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Pastries made of glutinous rice are not easy to melt, so Feng Yu didn't dare to let her eat more. After she coaxed the old lady to feel better,
Feng Yu complained that she was hungry, but Rong’s mother was a human spirit, so she brought two bowls of soft bone porridge to her grandparents, with some scallops and shredded chicken. She also added a few dishes of side dishes, and the old lady finally used some. Feng Yu
Yu also felt relieved.
After the meal, she took the old lady on her arm and ate in the house. After seeing that the time was almost up, she asked her mother to boil water and make tea. Feng Yu had just made the tea. Feng Changlin led Mrs. Feng, Feng Wan and Feng Jiao to come. Feng Yu was greeted by Feng Yu.
Afterwards, he served tea to them one by one.
The eldest lady was anxious and couldn't wait to ask Mrs. Fang about the reason for her visit. Her eagerness annoyed the old lady, and her anger, which Feng Yu calmed down, rose again.
"I have mentioned to you several times. When choosing husbands for Wan'er and Yao'er, you asked me first. Why did you have to talk to Mrs. Fang in private about the marriage of your children? You can just talk about it. Why don't you go and inquire?
Asking, who is in charge in the Fang family? He is so confused that he makes people laugh." The old lady was rarely strict, and she was already dissatisfied.
When Feng Changlin heard that it was the Fang family, his face turned pale, "Why are you going to marry the Fang family?"
The eldest lady stood up in a hurry, feeling uneasy and said, "When a girl here gets married, her parents always ask about her wishes first, and the man and woman see each other before they come to propose the marriage. The daughter-in-law also talks verbally with Mrs. Fang, what's wrong with this?"
"If it's not right, then it's not right. We can't have a relationship with the Fang family. When I returned to Kyoto three years ago, Wan'er had just grown hair. You have to choose a husband for her. I gave you a list and told you clearly that this list
The in-laws above are unable to get married, and the Fang family ranks first, but you have turned a deaf ear to it." The old lady looked at her disappointedly, "You can only see the glory of the Fang family, but not the crisis behind it. What will you do to Wan'er?
, bringing disaster to the Feng family, extremely stupid!"
"Grandma, you are partial, but Mrs. Fang agrees with you. Mr. Fang is outstanding in literary, military and military skills, and he is as famous as Xie Zhang. Why can't we marry him?" Feng Jiao asked unconvinced.
"Shut up!" the old lady scolded, "When adults are speaking, juniors are not allowed to interrupt. Listen carefully."
Feng Jiao was startled and sat blankly. She had never seen the old lady get so angry.
"You are confused. You want to marry the Fang family. Why don't you discuss it with me?" Feng Changlin was also anxious.
"You are so focused on your official duties that you are so busy that your feet never touch the ground. When did you take Wan'er's marriage to your heart?"
"Are you really confused, or are you pretending not to understand?" Feng Changlin was so angry that his eyesight turned black, "The in-laws I chose are already excellent. Liu An, the new champion, has a simple population. Although his family is poor, he is well-educated and gentle. Such
You don’t like my son-in-law, but you insist on trying to get into a wealthy family. Is your brain broken?”
