Chapter 751： Sour grapes

Chapter 751 If you can’t eat the grapes, you will say the grapes are sour

Xingxing is a kid, not picky, and drinks goat's milk most of the day. Occasionally, he is happy to have breast milk.

On the contrary, the little girl of the Wen family was breastfeeding...

The two children were born about twenty days apart, so they ate, slept and played together.

For those who didn’t know, they thought Wenjuan had given birth to a boy and girl.

Mr. Wen and his wife were extremely grateful. After some discussion, they decided to give the little girl a nickname: Yue Yaer, which also means following the stars...

While busy, the stars are shining for a hundred days.

It’s May, and it’s already early summer.

After eating the 100-day wine of Xingxing, the Earl's Palace in the city is almost completed.

The family has made an appointment for the Xing family, and the big day has been set for the end of the month.

The happy events of the Li family come one after another, and everyone is busy with the wind blowing under their feet and their faces glowing red.

Mrs. Wen finally recovered her health. Because her daughter, a troublesome little girl, got an apartment in the backyard of Li's house, she decided to live there so that she and Wenjuan could take care of the children together.

The only thing is that Mr. Wen is suffering from having to stay alone in the house every day...

Jiaren is the third-generation eldest grandson of the Li family, and he is also the quasi-heirloom of the Earl's Mansion. Therefore, the marriage must take place in the Earl's Mansion.

The Li family moved to the city half a month early.

There are many rooms on the left and right sides and it is very spacious.

Wenjuan brought Xingxing, and even Mrs. Wen brought Yueyueer, and they all moved over.

From one month before giving birth to now, they have been depressed at home for four to five months.

Although I can’t help much this time, I can still relax my mind.

Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru also left the academy cafeteria and came back early to help with the preparations.

The house should be cleaned inside and outside, wooden utensils should be added, and trees and flowers should be planted.

Big things and small things keep everyone busy.

This time, unlike the previous low-key, the Li family posted a hundred or ten posts.

All the friends Li Zhensheng had known over the years, including literati, righteous men, and businessmen, regardless of their status, all sent invitations.

Li Laoer has a good reputation because he opened a hundred gardens and saved hundreds of people in the Relief Department by his own efforts.

In the past few years, he has also met many powerful courtiers, and also sent invitations.

Li Laosan also invited some acquaintances from Luo An.

On the other hand, Li Laosi and Mr. Hou went on an expedition in April and could not participate in the family's big event this time.

Jiaren is a student of Luo'an Academy. The hundreds of books in the academy can only be obtained with the help of the Li family.

Therefore, seven or eight people including Dean Zhou and professors from the academy are coming to have a wedding banquet, including Mr. Tang, who never likes to socialize.

Mr. Wen, Jiaren’s teacher, was determined to inherit the Xinxue school.

So, he personally sent invitations to several of Cui's close friends.

You must know that the close friends who were the same as Master Cui at the same time are now respected old men...

The Li family's high profile this time quickly attracted the attention of the entire Xindu.

Especially the women in the back house were so regretful that they almost broke their fingernails.

Everyone is coveting this piece of fat meat from the Li family, but no one is in a hurry to take action.

Who would have thought that he would be snatched away by a vixen all of a sudden? No one would be willing to accept it!

As a result, the rumor spread to everyone in the world within a few days.

Why is it that the girl from the Xing family used the Jia family to hang out with the Li family and seduced the Li family and their grandchildren...

What girl Xing family is innocent, and the bead tires are dark, so that the Li family is forced to marry her over the door ... In short, everything is unpleasant!

Actually, although the Xing family is not considered wealthy, it is also a scholarly family with a clean and upright family tradition.

Mrs. Xing was in poor health. Xing Waner took charge of the house with her mother and kept the house in good order. She had never made any mistakes in her relationships and was known to be smart and steady.

Xing Waner is definitely worthy of being the eldest grandson of the Li family, and is also a good candidate to be the matron of the family in the future.

It’s helpless, that is, some people say the grapes are sour when they can’t eat them.

Of course, the Xing family knew these gossips very quickly, and Xing Waner's eyes were red with anger.

Mr. Xing smashed the tea bowl, and Xing Ning even wanted to rush out and beat someone.

But Mrs. Xing was unusually calm. She stopped her husband and son, and then took her daughter for a confidant.

“Wan’er, don’t be angry because of the rumors outside.

“Originally, Mom was a little hesitant when she decided to book the Li family for you so quickly, for fear that she would be wrong about the Li family and harm you for the rest of your life.

“But now that everyone says something bad about you, it proves that the Li family is a good place to end up. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people jealous of you and slandering you.”

Wan'er nodded, wiped her tears, took a deep breath, and said as calmly as possible: "Mom, I understand.

“I won’t get into trouble with Jia Renge and ruin our relationship just because of the rumors outside.”

“Silly girl, feelings are the least important.” Mrs. Xing sighed, hugged her daughter, and talked about her insights on marriage over the years.

“You are still young and have a lot of expectations for getting married and your future husband. You always think that you must be happy before you can be husband and wife.

“Actually, I want to tell you that I want a stable life in the future and a longer relationship between husband and wife. The most important thing is that the two families are well matched and have plans for each other.

“For example, when our family got married to the Li family, our family wanted to follow the Li family’s rule of not taking concubines. We wanted the Li family to be powerful and have many brothers so that they could take care of Brother Ning in the future.

“What the Li family wants is that your father can guide Jiaren’s official career. They want our family to be simple. They want you to be kind, smart, and good at running the family. After you join the family, you can help Jiaren quickly build the Earl’s Mansion.

“In this way, both families hope that you two will get married, so that it will not become an obstacle between you.

“After you get married and get along slowly, your relationship will definitely get better. There is no need to worry about this.

“But you must remember that Jiaren is a very responsible person. If you want a peaceful life, you should never compete with the Li family!

“In other words, don’t force him to choose between you and your family, because he will definitely choose your family!”

Wan'er bit her lip and looked at her serious-looking mother, somewhat reluctant to answer.

After all, no woman wants to be the only one and preference in her husband's heart.

Mrs. Xing patted her daughter on the back and spoke softly.

“A man is like a donkey, you have to let it go along with its hair and follow his will, then he will be happy, appreciate your accomplishment, and treat you better.

“After you enter the house, if Jiaren is filial, you will be even more filial. If Jiaren loves his sister, you will love her even more.

“Mom’s life under your care will get better and better, and Jiaren will like you more and more!”

Xing Wan'er wanted to say something else, but when she saw the tiredness on her mother's face, she quickly changed her words.

“Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely listen to you. I will be filial to the elderly, take care of my brothers and sisters, and do my duty as a wife.”

“That’s right, the Li family is a kind family, as long as you do this. Even if Jiaren is granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister in the future, and he changes his mind one day, the Li family will not allow him to betray you.”

Mrs. Xing smiled bitterly and continued: "Mom just doesn't understand this. She thought that being in love with your father would overcome everything.

“So, despite your grandparents’ displeasure, you got married.

“As a result, the first half of my life was almost soaked in bitter water, and your father was also caught in the middle, which broke my heart and gave me a reputation for being unfilial.

“It was your grandmother who suffered from a difficult childbirth when she gave birth to Brother Ning, and got this disease... that’s all, it’s all in the past.

“Now that your grandparents are gone, Mom won’t mention this anymore, but Mom doesn’t want you to follow Mom’s old path.

“Therefore, if you cherish this home of the Li family, it will not be in vain for my mother to **** this marriage for you early.”
