Chapter 729 This Night
This night, some people in several houses in the capital mentioned the former first generation Liang Guogong, as well as his descendants, the Lord Fu'an County and Lord Zhou Huanzhou.
When mentioning the latter two, it is inevitable to mention the fact that the only descendant of Fu'an County Lord Zhou Huanzhou recognized his niece and his brother as having a marriage contract with the Qi Mansion's daughter.
Even the Qi Mansion, which includes the Eight Diagrams, is no exception. It was already late when Mr. Qi and his wife returned home, and all the rooms were still gathered in the courtyard of Mrs. Qi.
To be precise, Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi live in the main courtyard, but after these two reached fifty, Mr. Qi rarely stayed here.
Tonight, the old man of Qi Mansion came out of his Jingsi Courtyard. He was chatting with his sons in the study room of the main courtyard while waiting for the return of his three sons.
The legitimate sons and concubines have too many grandchildren. Except for the marriage between the eldest grandson and the eldest granddaughter, Mr. Qi has not cared about the marriage of his grandchildren for many years.
While chatting, Mr. Qi, who was deceived by Mr. Qi's excellent confidentiality, did not want to admit that he had secretly interfered in the marriage of his granddaughter Hui.
But it’s okay if he doesn’t admit it?
The bastards here dare not express their father's favoritism, but the legitimate sons have a natural advantage. How can they not "remember" on the spot how much their parents favored their third brother?
My family knows my own business.
If they didn’t know why their third brother (third brother), the legitimate youngest son, was sent to Jiangnan by his parents to learn martial arts when he was young, how could they not know now.
San Di (Third Brother)'s previous "Following the Dragon's Merit" may have been God's will, but at that time even Liang Guogong's palace was in trouble, and then he sent San Di (Third Brother) out immediately. If he did not consider it, If something goes wrong at home, it is impossible to save the third brother (third brother), but to let the third brother (third brother) escape far away.
Now that my father is a grandfather, apart from the marriage of the eldest brother’s eldest son and eldest daughter, only the third brother’s eldest daughter can receive this treatment.
As for Sister Hui's dowry, did her father obviously add to it, but privately prepare a dowry for the third brother's legitimate daughter?
Of the brothers, only the third brother is powerful now. Unfortunately, the girls in the house are not as loving as Sister Hui from her grandparents, and they even choose their marriages carefully.
Mr. Qi laughed angrily at the provocations of several legitimate sons.
It doesn't matter if he is partial to Sister Hui. Among the sons here, there are several legitimate daughters and concubines. San'er is the only one who is eyeing this one.
While he was waiting for him to beat his sons, especially the eldest son, before he finished speaking, he heard from the chief attendant outside that the third master and his wife had returned home.
At this time, not to mention the concubines, even his eldest son did not dare to let him continue talking. Mr. Qi reached out and nodded at his sons in a dumbfounded way.
"Bear-like!"
I am not afraid of you third brother!
"I'm afraid that I'm going to spoil you few naughty sons. I'm worried that one day I'll stand up and separate, and my three sons won't care about you—"
"Father, be careful what you say. "Uncle Qi's face changed and he hurriedly helped Qi who stood up. The old man said, "We brothers are just joking, how can we take it seriously."
"Yes, father, brothers fighting tigers, father and son fighting in the battle, we have no other intentions, hahaha, it's purely I’m jealous that you hurt Third Brother again.”
"Look at the youngest, Dad, you heard what the youngest said. We brothers are going to do it for real. The youngest and we are not from the same mother. How can we still-"
" Shut up! "
This stupid son!
Mr. Qi was convinced by his eldest son, who was extremely stupid, and he was even more grateful that he had made up his mind to follow his father's orders and send his youngest son to become a disciple. "Dad, I'm back."
"Come in quickly." When Mr. Qi heard Mr. Qi's voice calling him affectionately outside before he came in, he didn't bother to glare at the big boy and responded quickly.
Uncle Qi was worried about his tongue. Third Master Qi's unexpected arrival suddenly made him feel relieved. He quickly smiled apologetically at his younger brother who was present.
The few people outside, whether they are legitimate sons or concubines, all know the temperament of their eldest brother, and they don’t think much about the eldest brother’s heart that he will not be close to him unless he is born from his mother’s side.
They think that the brothers in the Qi Mansion are still very united, and sometimes there is a slight discord between their respective wives, unlike most houses where discord often causes jokes.
"Eldest brother, second brother...sixth brother." Mr. Qi stepped into the study, reached out and took over the task of supporting his father from his eldest brother, and greeted each one as he walked in.
He is also a petty person, and he knows exactly why the brothers who are in the house at this moment are gathered here in the study to find out something.
As he greeted several brothers, each of them couldn't help but ask Zhou and Gu whether their family had settled down and whether they should invite their in-laws to visit them first or wait until the decision was made. Wait, he didn't give an answer, he just said that his daughter had been wronged.
Why?
If his father hadn’t wanted to marry the Zhou family, and his daughter was the only one who was suitable, there would be no need for his daughter to help her grandfather fulfill his wish.
Except for what Mr. Qi had to say, Mr. Qi was secretly happy whether they were coaxed or had to follow.
——His sister Hui’s dowry is large again.
Unlike the cunning Third Master Qi, he was sincere when he stepped into the upper room with his wife, and it was a pleasure to mention this marriage in front of his mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
When replying to Mrs. Qi and saying that she met her future uncle, she praised her uncle in no uncertain terms as to how talented he was.
When I asked my sister-in-law about her future mother-in-law, she even praised how sensible her mother-in-law was. She said on the spot that she would wait for her sister Hui to come in and take care of the house.
In short, even though her uncle came from a humble background and had little fame, he was young and promising, his parents were sensible, and his brothers and sisters were harmonious and loving.
Even if they have lived in Qinghe Village for a long time, they are from a good family. What's more, the in-laws have already planned to buy a house in the inner city before making a decision recently, so they are from a good family.
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she just wanted to interrupt her daughter-in-law's boastful talk, but she couldn't help but several daughters-in-law who were both legitimate and concubine stopped her sister-in-law from going back to their respective homes.
"...that is, we have to follow the arrangement decided by the in-laws now. Our sister Hui's dowry and accompanying room are easy to arrange, but what can we do if the dowry is too small?
The daughter-in-law listened to Zhou The lady’s words mean nothing more than what the lady carefully prepared for her eldest son on Tuesday. As a betrothal gift, the Zhou Mansion also bought a lot of good things for the fourth young master of the Zhou Mansion.
Sister-in-law, you are the head wife of our Qi Mansion. You can’t be biased in thinking that our uncle is not a son of the Zhou Mansion. Mrs. Zhou is really. I truly regard my nephew as my own son..."
Listen!
Let you go and have a rest earlier!
Now you, the eldest sister-in-law, dare to ask your three younger brothers and sisters to add more dowry as usual, or say that the married women of each house have nothing to do with your eldest house, for fear of offending the Zhou family!
Mrs. Qi smiled sarcastically, "It's still a long time before our sister Hui gets married. We aunts and aunts will always do our best, second brother and sister, don't you think so?"
