Chapter 101: Marrying the Xie family suffers

Xie's is talking happily with Mrs. Xie Jiada.
As a result, when Gu Jiu entered the door, the air was instantly quiet.
So embarrassing!
The atmosphere in the room seemed to be suffocating.
If nothing happened, Gu Jiu smiled and stepped forward, "please greet your wife, please greet your uncle and wife."
Mrs. Xie looked at Gu Jiu, and looked up and down, "This is the second girl in the house, she looks like a real sign."
Xie said with a smile: "It's the second girl from my family, with a single name."
Following the conversation between the three, the air that was about to be suffocated flowed again, and everyone laughed.
Gu Zhen and Gu Lin followed closely behind, and stepped forward to ask for peace.
Xie's smiled slightly, "It's good to be here. These are all cousins ​​of Xie's family, come and meet."
Next to Mrs. Xie Da, there were three girls and three young men.
After introduction, the three young men are all heirs of the Xie family's big house, Xie Dalang and Xie Sanlang are both descendants, and Xie Erlang is the concubine.
The three girls from the Xie family, the eldest girl and the second girl are all girls from the big room. The third girl is the girl in the second room of the Xie family.
Only then did Gu Ji know that Xie’s second room and family had moved to the capital.
Gu Jiu led Gu Zhen and Gu Lin, and officially met the young master girl from the Xie family.
The Xie family are more distinctive, and neither men nor women are too tall. The girl's complexion is fair and slightly plump.
The boy also looks fat, but not so fat. It just looks a little fat.
After the two sides got to know each other, Xie's chat with Mrs. Xie Da.
Mrs. Xie laughed, "My aunt is really blessed, the girls in the family are matched with one another, and their looks are dignified. Especially Yue'er, I can't take my eyes off when I look."
Gu Yue lowered her head, acting a little shy.
Xie's laughed: "Yue'er, a child who has grown up well since childhood, is sensible, and knows how to care for others, so I don't give her favor."
Mrs. Xie smiled and said: "My aunt is right. The girl has only been in her natal house for more than ten years. She should be spoiled. However, we still have to teach, like my Yuaner, who has been a housekeeper since elementary school. , Now I have been able to act on my own, and come forward to deal with all kinds of people's worldliness for me."
Xie looked at Xie Yuan, a girl from the Xie family.
Xie Yuan was born directly, with a round face and a little plump. When Xie's gaze turned toward her, Xie Yuan straightened her back subconsciously.
Xie said with a smile: "Yuan'er, this child is naturally excellent. Sister-in-law will raise children, and several girls have been taught by you to be generous, smart and capable. Unlike the children in my family, they are still childish. From time to time I have to play a child's temper."
Mrs. Xie laughed, "Don't say that, my aunt, you children, I think they are excellent. Like Liu Lang, I heard about his literary talent when you were still in the northwest. Liu Lang, return Is there an apprenticeship after arriving in the capital?"
Gu Teng had been sitting in a chair before, bowing his head slightly, and never said a word.
When Mrs. Xie asked, he raised his head and said, "Report to my aunt, I haven't been a teacher. However, my uncle in the lobby of the Hou Mansion next door said that he would arrange me to study in Xishan Academy."
Mrs. Xie smiled and said: "Xishan Academy is indeed good, but it is still not as good as worshipping the great Confucianists."
Xie raised his eyebrows.
A few days ago, when she took the child to Xie's house as a guest, Master Xie mentioned that he would introduce a current great scholar to Liu Lang as a teacher.
To be honest, Xie was very tempted.
For the rest of her life, she will count on her two sons.
The youngest son is out of temper, and it's still not right now.
Only the eldest son, Gu Teng, is a good student and self-disciplined.
If you can worship the great Confucianists as your teacher, you can hardly fight for five or eight years. In the imperial examination, maybe you can get a good place in the top.
These are all visible benefits.
There are also many intangible benefits, such as the teacher’s personal connections, as long as there are no accidents, Gu Teng can inherit it smoothly.
What do you rely on to walk in officialdom? It depends on personal connections.
If Gu Teng can inherit these personal connections, he dare not say that his official career will be smooth, at least it will be easier than others.
The Xie family was very moved. When she was at Xie's house, she almost agreed to be instigated by Mr. Xie.
But when I thought of Master Gu's attitude, Xie only said that he would consider it carefully when he returned home, but he didn't immediately agree to it.
Today, Mrs. Xie Da came to the door and raised the matter again, Xie began to ponder.
Last time I went to Xie's house, Master Xie talked about Yunshan Mist. Xie's studies are limited and many things are not understood.
She did not dare to discuss with Master Gu.
After all, she didn't understand what Mr. Xie said. I rushed to discuss with Master Gu, if I anger Master Gu, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Master Gu was able to agree to the Xie family's contact with the Xie family, which already gave the Xie family enough face.
Xie is very interesting, she didn't mention it before she was sure.
Xie said, "My sister-in-law is reasonable. If there is a great scholar in the world as a teacher, that would be great. However, my master has made arrangements for Liu Lang to study. I will not intervene."
Gu Teng looked around, his expression moved slightly, but he did not speak.
Mrs. Xie covered her lips and smiled, "Auntie has misunderstood. This is a great Confucian scholar in the world, and no one can be a teacher.
The big Confucians have a big temper and have extremely strict requirements on their disciples. Rokuro wanted to worship a great Confucian as his teacher, and he had to go through three stages and cut six generals. It would not be easier than the imperial examination.
If Rokuro is willing, his uncle said that he can introduce him. It depends on Rokuro's knowledge. "
Speaking of this, Xie can't just avoid it.
She looked at Gu Yan, "Riu Lang, what do you think?"
Gu Yan pursed his lips with a serious expression.
Gu Jiu suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to see Gu Yan smile for a long time.
Gu Teng's appearance is becoming more and more mature. Youth has not yet passed, and has spoken and acted like adults.
Gu Teng said: "I still want to go to Xishan Academy to study. I have inquired that the courtyard of Xishan Academy is a famous contemporary scholar."
Mrs. Xie Da said: "Xishan Academy has a lot of people, including poor children and powerful children. The people in it have their own small circles, and the relationship is extremely complicated.
Liu Lang, you just came back from the northwest and you didn't know anyone in the capital. You rushed into Xishan Academy to study. I was afraid it would be hard to adapt. "
Gu Yan looked at Mrs. Xie Da, "Thank you for your great aunt's concern. I have decided and do not intend to change."
Mrs. Xie was choked, unexpectedly Gu Teng could not get in. The great Confucianism of the world couldn't even impress him, so he had to run to Xishan Academy.
Mrs. Xie was embarrassed at first, and then laughed again, "Rokuro is ambitious, yes, yes. Your uncle has something to do with Xishan Academy. If you go to study, he will look for someone to take care of you."
Gu Teng bowed slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, but no need. The Hou Mansion next door has already considered everything for me, so I don't need to worry about it for now."
Mrs. Xie frowned slightly and couldn't help looking at Xie's.
It seems to be asking, sister, what is going on with your son? Saying so unceremoniously, our Xie family did not offend him.
Xie's was also unsure of Gu Cheng's thoughts.
She was thinking about how to resolve this embarrassment, and she saw Gu Teng stand up, "Mother, eldest aunt, sisters, continue to talk. I will take three cousins ​​to the outer courtyard to talk."
Xie's mouth was dumbfounded, and at last he nodded and said, "You are all men, I am impatient to listen to us talking about family affairs. No matter, all go to the outer courtyard, the outer courtyard is more comfortable."
Gu Teng nodded slightly and asked the Xie family cousins ​​to leave Furongyuan.
As soon as they left, only the female family remained in the room.
Mrs. Xie Da speaks more casually.
"Auntie, your family's Rokuro is not young, right, did you ever say dear?"
Xie shook his head, "Up to now, no child has been married."
"If this goes on, wouldn't it delay the child's future."
Xie said: "It doesn't matter if the boy is a few years later. What I am most worried about right now is the marriage of Yue'er and the others, and I haven't seen it yet."
Mrs. Xie Da couldn't help but look at Gu Zhen, Gu Jiu, and Gu Yue.
At present, as long as the three of them have reached the age of marriage, they have to hurry up and settle the marriage.
Mrs. Xie asked suddenly: "Auntie, what do you think of my children?"
The Xie family was confused for a moment, and didn't quite understand what Mrs. Xie Da meant.
Mrs. Xie Da was not so particular, and she said directly: "How about our two families who will have a kiss and a kiss? Three children, Xie Shi, Xie Ding, Xie Ning, and your aunt and wife choose."
The corners of Xie's mouth twitched, his face filled with heart.
My natal sister-in-law is really not particular about it. Really vulgar for many years.
Xie couldn't help but feel sorry for her elder brother.
Mrs. Xie's Ma family is not very good. Father Ma is a small official at the gate of the city, earns a lot and can't afford to spend more money at home, and fights famine every year at the end of the year.
Father Ma and Father Xie are old buddies. They are not brothers, but are better than brothers.
The two families help each other and get along very well.
When Xie's eldest brother Xie Mao was about to say a kiss, Mr. Xie made a decision, "Just the daughter of the Ma family. Our Xie family is a small family, so we will marry a right daughter-in-law."
Back then, the Ma family and the Xie family were indeed close friends.
The only thing that the Xie family is better than the Ma family is that they have no debts.
However, the real reason why Father Xie decided to marry the Ma family was that a monk passed by them many years ago. When he saw Ma family, he said that the child's life is good, first bitter and sweet later, Wangfuwang family.
Father Xie always remembered these words. And Ma Shi is really capable, good at both inside and out. Marry her home, she must be a good daughter-in-law.
Soon, Ma married Xie Mao.
The two got married, and within a few years, the Xie family came to work.
Xie's concubine for Master Gu, Xie Mao also leaned on the camp, and finally let him hug the prince's thigh and become the official of the Eastern Palace.
From then on, the Xie family soared into the sky, regaining its wealth.
At that time, many people said that Ma was not worthy of Xie Mao
Xie Mao also thought of divorcing his wife.
But he was stopped by Mr. Xie.
Father Xie said very truthfully, "Since you married your wife, the life of this family has gotten better and better. Now you are also an official in the Eastern Palace. It can be seen that Ma is indeed a woman from the Wangfuwang family, and the monk did not make a mistake.
If you divorced your wife, I would be the first to refuse. I'm afraid that the opponents in the officialdom will not let you go. They will make a fuss about the divorce and pull you off the horse. "
Xie Mao was a little unwilling.
The wives of my colleagues, all of them are knowledgeable and reasonable, and want to have a family background and look good. Only his own wife is vulgar, doesn't know a few words, can't speak well, and is a drag.
However, Xie Mao also listened to what Mr. Xie said.
It's hard to say whether Ma's is really a Vanfwang family.
But since he married Ma, his family is getting better and better. This is an indisputable fact.
And Markov can also produce. The first child born to him was a son.
Father Xie continued to persuade Xie Mao: "I know what you want, you want a beautiful woman. The regular wife can't divorce, but you can take a concubine, a beautiful concubine. Ma's virtuous, if you want a concubine, she will definitely agree."
As a result, Xie Mao gave up the idea of ​​divorcing his wife, one by one, the beautiful little concubines were almost unable to live in the backyard, so he simply changed the big house and continued to accept concubines.
Stay with concubines who are fertile, and send them out without fertility. In short, these years, Xie's backyard has never broken a woman.
Xie’s stared at Ma. Ma’s complexion was very good, without the slightest sorrow.
She seemed to really want to think about it, those concubines, she seemed to really not care.
Xie's heart snorted coldly, a bit contemptuous of Ma's.
What's the point if I can't control my man.
"Auntie, can you give me a word?"
Seeing Xie's silence, Ma urged her.
Xie coughed twice, and again disliked Ma clan. At any rate, he was also a person who was in charge, and he didn't pay attention to what he said and did.
Xie's said to Ma's: "Sister-in-law, what you just said, are you really kidding?"
Ma shook his head repeatedly, "How can I make a joke about the child's marriage. Auntie, don't joke."
Xie asked again: "Does the eldest brother know?"
Ma nodded repeatedly, "Your elder brother supports my idea very much, and he also hopes that our two families can get married."
Xie frowned.
Xie first looked at the three sisters Xie Yuan, and then at Gu Yue.
Finally, he said: "We still need to be cautious about the marriage of children."
Ma said: "Our two know the roots and know the bottom, what can't be assured. Is it possible that Mrs. Cheng doesn't look down on the few boys in my family? Or, I will marry Yuan'er to your family."
"Mother, what are you talking about!" Xie Yuan was about to cry.
The mother is really true, at first, she was very good, her words were appropriate and reserved. As a result, as soon as the elder brothers left, the mother-in-law became cute again and showed a vulgar side.
Xie Yuan felt embarrassed and embarrassed, and really wanted to find a place to get underneath.
Gu Yue lowered her head with a look of contempt. This is her own aunt, and she has so much expectation at first.
Sure enough, it was as vulgar as the legend, not particular about it at all.
There are also several cousins ​​from Xie’s big room, all of whom are ugly and fat.
In comparison, only Xie Xian is the most handsome among the Xie family.
However, Xie Xian has misconduct and is a prodigal, not a good match.
Gu Jiu generously looked at Mrs. Xie Da's wife Ma and the three girls of Xie's family.
Ma's dressing and dressing are very rich and noble, but his taste is not good, giving people a rustic feeling.
The three girls in the Xie family are all round faces, not pretty, but not ugly. It’s easier to get a good impression just by looking at the appearance.
For Xie Yuan's complaints, Ma didn't care at all.
Ma said to Xie Yuan: "Wei Niang is also planning for you."
Xie Yuan stomped her foot, it is not unusual for her to plan for her.
If it weren't for this to be a guest at someone else's house, Xie Yuan would have ran out.
Xie coughed slightly and said: "Yue'er, Shan'er, you take your sisters to the wing to play. Your aunt and I have something to say."
Xie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and was finally able to get rid of this embarrassing situation.
The girls filed out of the main room and went to the wing to talk.
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, all a bit embarrassing.
Xie Yuan hurriedly explained, "Sister Yue, Sister Shan, those things my mother said, please don't take it seriously. When I went out today, my father didn't tell her these things. It's all my mother's own opinion."
Gu Yue smiled and said, "Sister Yuan, don't be nervous, we all understand."
Gu Shan asked, "Does uncle really mean to get married?"
Xie Yuan gaped, "It shouldn't be."
Gu Shan frowned, "That's weird. I heard that my aunt listened to my uncle the most. If my uncle hadn't mentioned the marriage between the two families, how could my aunt bring it up in front of us all."
Xie Yuan thought for a while and said, "It is probably my mother's wishful thinking. In short, you must not take it seriously."
Gu Jiu suddenly asked: "If the two families get married, who is suitable to marry in the past? In other words, who will marry Gu's family?"
There was silence in the room. Everyone looked at each other.
Gu Yue gritted her teeth and said, "My mother has plans for my marriage. It should not be me."
Gu Shan also said: "I am young and have to wait a few years."
Gu Zhen said: "The Hou Mansion next door has promised to help me see the marriage."
In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows with a smile, "I can't."
Then, everyone's eyes fell on the three girls of the Xie family.
Gu Yue yelled, "Are you going to let Sixth Brother marry Sister Yuan? Wouldn't Sixth Brother suffer a lot."
With a brush, Xie Yuan's face turned red.
Gu Yue realized afterwards and looked embarrassed.
Xie Shan hurriedly apologized.
At this point, we can no longer talk.
Keep talking, then you can only talk awkwardly.
