Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 235 Forced Marriage
Looking at the aunts and aunts in the room, Tang Yanxiu felt that her brain was about to explode!

Didn't the ancients pay attention to different seats for men and women at seven years old?He is already 11 years old this year anyway, is it really okay to hang out with a room full of women?

Unfortunately, what Tang Yanxiu didn't know was that it was officials who really paid attention to etiquette, relatively speaking, merchants didn't care so much.

Moreover……

What do you care about!

Needless to say, the old lady of the Duan family, she and Tang Yanxiu often meet in private, and there is absolutely no need to shy away from the elderly grandmother and young grandson.

The old lady of the Wang family is only one year older than the old lady of the Duan family, and they are seventy-seven this year.The female relatives she brought were all the daughters-in-law of her own son, a total of eight, and the youngest was 39 years old.

Therefore, no one would care about Tang Yanxiu, who is only 11 years old now. In the eyes of the female family members of the Wang family, Tang Yanxiu is simply a child with no hair.

"Old lady, you promised to make Jiqiu your middle cousin earlier. Jiqiu's life is hard, and now both parents are dead, and you don't have any brothers or sisters. The same is true for your grandson. Who do you dislike. Besides, Jiqiu is your granddaughter, the old lady, so there is nothing to say about her appearance and character. This dowry... Although the daughter of my Wang family is not as precious as the daughter of the Duan family, it was still ten miles away. Hong Zhuang married into the Duan family."

When Tang Yanxiu came in, the old lady of the Wang family was spitting all over the place, and she didn't notice Tang Yanxiu's speechless expression at all.

On the contrary, several of her daughters-in-law have been watching Tang Yanxiu quietly from the corners of their eyes, making Tang Yanxiu always feel like they are goods for sale.

"Didn't Jiqiu's mother's dowry list be shown to you before? The warehouse also took you there. Let's not mention the seasonal fabrics, such as antique calligraphy, painting, gold and silver jewelry, and Zhuangzi's shop. Didn't I let you have a look at them all?" After that, is it sealed up?"

The old lady of the Duan family also had a headache. In fact, she also understood that the old lady of the Wang family did not worry that she would spoil her daughter-in-law's dowry.Not to mention that the Duan family has a lot of money, even if she wants to be greedy for ink, she has been neglecting the family for more than 20 years, how can she have the means to be greedy for ink?
She is talking like this on purpose now, just to divert the topic.

It's a pity that the old lady of the Wang family is not stupid, she looks straightforward, and most of her words are straightforward, but when it comes to her heart, she is not lacking at all.

Apart from other things, just seeing that she can give birth to eight sons in one go in the backyard with many concubines, and the sons have all grown up healthy and healthy, one knows that she is not a simple character.

"The old lady was joking. We still don't know who the Duan family is? I just thought that my poor daughter still left a huge dowry, and the Duan family will definitely not treat me badly in the future." That miserable granddaughter. So and so on, my miserable granddaughter at least has a nice dowry, and besides, she herself is well-bred, so why does Young Master Tang still refuse to agree to this marriage?"

Although the old lady of the Wang family said this to the old lady of the Duan family, Tang Yanxiu still felt a little aggrieved when she heard it.Not to mention the straight and undisguised gazes of several wives in the Wang family, which made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"This matter... Oh, old sister, in fact, no matter whether it is the daughter or the granddaughter of my Duan family, she will not worry about marrying. I think it is the same when you come to the Wang family? If so, what are you worried about? Don't say that Jiqiu is still observing the filial piety, even if she is out of the filial piety period, she is still young."

"What am I worried about? Aren't I worried that in the future someone will say that my granddaughter is hard-nosed? If it weren't for your grandson, I would not agree to this marriage. This is not thinking about the old lady, the daughter you brought up must be good , your grandson is in the same situation as my miserable granddaughter, it's not right... well, I just want to give my miserable granddaughter a guarantee for the rest of her life!"

"If it's because of this, old sister, don't worry, even if this marriage is inappropriate, I will definitely arrange another good marriage for Jiqiu. I will definitely not wrong Jiqiu, and I won't let the other party dislike her fate." Hard."

"Old lady, it's easy for you to say, but you and I are already old, how long can we protect the child? I just want to see my poor granddaughter have a good home when I open my eyes." .”

"This this……"

"Besides, what did you say, old lady, in the mourning hall?"

As soon as this remark came out, the old lady of the Duan family immediately became embarrassed, but the old lady of the Wang family seemed not to notice it at all, and continued to speak loudly: "At that time, you made a solemn promise that you would do your best to make this cousin in the door come to an end. Yes. You also said that your grandson’s parents are dead, and his grandparents are gone, and now his marriage is up to you! I’m not the only one who heard this, everyone in the mourning hall heard it! "

Tang Yanxiu was startled, and looked straight at the old lady of the Duan family.

He didn't know about this at all!

At first, he thought it was the old lady of the Duan family who was just ventilating with him in private to facilitate the marriage.But I never expected that there are so many twists and turns in the middle.

Sensing Tang Yanxiu's astonished gaze, the old lady of the Duan family let out a long sigh.

"I blame me for this matter, I blamed me for not informing Yan Xiu before."

"If you don't know if you know, so what? This important marriage event is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Do I have to go to the meeting to inform Jiqiu? Anyway, both of them have lost their parents, so this matter should be done." Let the elders decide."

The old lady of the Wang family never even glanced at Tang Yanxiu from the beginning to the end, she just kept entangled with the old lady of the Duan family.

Speaking of this, the old lady of the Duan family is really helpless.

In good conscience, she herself also tried her best to facilitate this marriage.

Apart from thinking about her little granddaughter Jiqiu, she actually has another selfish motive.That is, to plan for Tang Yanxiu's future.

Tang Yanxiu is a descendant of the Tang family, but she heard from her husband and the eldest son last year that the current head of the Tang family is Tang Yanxiu's uncle, but he is a vicious person who deliberately wants to kill Tang Yanxiu.You can't expect this kind of person to arrange a marriage for your nephew, and even if Tang Yanxiu encounters any troubles in the future, he won't help out.

As for the Duan family, if she was with the old man, there would naturally be no problem in taking care of Tang Yanxiu.

But she and the old man are both so old, and they don't know how many more years they can live.

In the past, because the eldest son was capable and the grandson was progressing, her biological heirs only had one family, so she was naturally at ease.But since Tang Yanxiu met her, she hardly had a good night's sleep.

Just because I want to do something for my little grandson.

This Jiqiu is really pitiful now, but her identity is very righteous.If Tang Yanxiu and Jiqiu get married, then the Duan family will have to pull it out no matter what.Besides, using money to subsidize the grandson may cause disputes.But if in the future, before Jiqiu gets married, she puts on a lot of make-up, no one can question it.

Not to mention the dowry she brought to the Duan family back then, just to say that during the decades in the Duan family, her private house has also been increasing.Even if she doesn't make it to Jiqiu to get married in the future, it's perfectly fine to give Jiqiu some private houses in the past two years.

Unfortunately, Tang Yanxiu didn't understand her painstaking efforts at all.

"Yan Xiu, in fact, I also think Jiqiu is good, why don't you think about it more carefully?"

The old lady of the Duan family hesitated again and again, but still couldn't help looking at Tang Yanxiu, still hoping that he would let go.

In fact, from the very beginning, the old lady of the Duan family had the mentality of slowly persuading Tang Yanxiu.Otherwise, when the old lady of the Wang family brought all the daughters-in-law to the door, she wouldn't have sent her personal maid to call Tang Yanxiu.

If she really disagreed with this marriage, there was no need for her to let Tang Yanxiu get involved.

And this point, not only the female family members of the Wang family figured it out, Tang Yanxiu also understood it.

"Grandmother, I made it clear to you yesterday that I'm already engaged, how can I agree to this marriage again? Not to mention that I don't have the idea of ​​taking a concubine, even if I did, you can't let Jiqiu's cousin be a concubine, right? "

"Bullshit!"

The temper of the old lady of the Wang family is obviously not as good as that of the old lady of the Duan family.

What's more, what Tang Yanxiu said just now was indeed a little too much, and it was normal for the old lady of the Wang family to be furious.

"Okay, okay, talk slowly if you have something to say, don't scare the child."

In the end, it was the old lady of the Duan family who felt sorry for her grandson, stretched out her hand and pulled Tang Yanxiu to her side, looked at him helplessly and sadly, and said, "Yanxiu, you don't need to talk about the marriage you made in Wanhua County. Even if you don't care about Tang Yanxiu The family style of the family, the Duan family has never married a rough country girl. We will not lose money to the girl who is engaged to you. We will give her a large sum of money and let her find another good family. gone."

"No, I've made up my mind, I won't marry Mo Qianrui in this life!"

In desperation, Tang Yanxiu blurted out the name of Mo Qianrui's previous life, but none of the people present knew the situation of the Mo family, so it didn't matter.At most, I'd like to find a way to get Mo Qianrui to marry a famous name in the future. It's obviously not suitable for a big girl to be written in a marriage letter.

"You child, why are you so stubborn?"

The old lady of the Duan family could hardly hold back her tears. Seeing this, Tang Yanxiu didn't dare to speak out again. After all, the old lady of the Duan family was already old. But it was his fault.

However, he didn't speak anymore, but still had a look of disapproval.

"Yan Xiu, you must have been fascinated by that rough country girl. From what my grandmother said, our family is a wealthy family, not something that those in the countryside can afford. Even if you really don't want to get married with Jiqiu, I will never agree to your marriage with that country girl."

Hearing this, Tang Yanxiu couldn't bear it anymore, but before he opened his mouth, the old lady of the Wang family was not happy.

"Above the mourning hall, old lady, you made a promise. It's okay for this child to be ignorant, but adults have to keep their promises. In fact, if I don't have other daughters, it's not happy for my uncle's family to marry my aunt's family here. Daughter, can I still beg for help? I have so many grandchildren!"

"Okay, old sister, let's take it easy. My grandson is a good one. Allow me some time to persuade him slowly."

Tang Yanxiu pursed his lips and looked at the situation in front of him. He didn't want to contradict his grandmother, but he would not let others interfere in his marriage.

Forget it, let's discuss this matter with my grandfather and uncle.
