Chapter 261
Mrs. Yu didn't wake up until the evening.
She vomited blood because of the shock and pain. The first thing she did after waking up was to grab her eldest daughter-in-law who was serving her, and asked, "Where is Pei Xin?"
Mrs. Yu didn't say anything.
"Where are you talking, where are you?"
It is rare that Mrs. Yu is still so strong when she is ill. She shook her eldest daughter-in-law. Seeing that the other party is silent, she looked at her second daughter-in-law again, "What happened? Tell me quickly!"
"Mother…"
Mrs. Yu was stuttering for a while, "Little sister...she..."
"What's wrong with her? Ah? Tell me quickly?"
Old Mrs. Yu's hands trembled, her face turned pale, and she stared at her tightly.
"Mother."
Mrs. Yu sighed and held her hand, "This is not a good thing for the younger sister." Her tone tried to be as gentle as possible, "If it was really sent to the government office, not to mention the pain of being sentenced to prison, it would be known to everyone. At that time, the Wumen Gate was killed, and the public was in full view of everyone. My sister was mocked and scolded. Now no one knows the inside story, she just died of illness..."
"Shut up!"
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Yu suddenly pushed her away, looking crazy and painful, "My Peixin will not die! It was you, you killed her, you all forced her to death one by one. Where is Peixin, my daughter, where is she? Where is she?"
She said that she was about to go downstairs.
The demeanor of the past can no longer be maintained, his gray head is messy, and his expression is extremely distorted.
"Mother."
Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yu Er hurriedly pressed her shoulders, "The doctor said, you must have a good rest and not be overly emotional..."
"Pei Xin, my child..."
Mrs. Yu's eyes were filled with tears, and she kept calling her daughter's name.
"Mother." Mrs. Yu Er also burst into tears, "My little sister has gone, please accept the reality, she will never come back."
Both of them knelt down.
Old Mrs. Yu froze, sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes wide open, and her mind kept repeating the sentence.
My little sister has gone...
Her daughter is gone.
Old Mrs. Yu trembled. She covered her chest and a stream of blood surged into her throat, and it spurted out again.
"Mother--"
**
Mrs. Yu was reluctant to recuperate in the Xiao family. She immediately left after waking up again, and Yu's body was naturally taken away.
Although the family scandals should not be made public, the Xiao family was unwilling to hold a funeral for Yu, but sent her to her parents' home. It must be that Yu made some mistakes in the Xiao family, and this mistake was not small. Thinking about the fact that it was said that Yu had eaten vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name in the past two years, let alone banquets, even his own birthday was held, so the ladies realized it.
Whose mansion has nothing to do with a scandal?
The wives of aristocratic families had a lot of speculations and only discussed them privately. After all, the Xiao family may not recognize this wife anymore, so didn’t they even ask Yu’s two children to come to worship and attend the funeral?
The children of the illegitimate children did not come.
What does this mean? It means that Yu must be unkind to the concubine's children. But if it were just like this, she would not even let her enter the ancestral tomb. But why did Xiao Yu and his family keep silent and others were tactful and dared not inquire.
There are still not many people who dare to watch the jokes about the Guojiu Mansion.
Just say a few words in private, be careful that a big mouth will cause trouble.
After the funeral, the scandal was revealed, but another big and small storm broke out.
Mrs. Yu was in pain of her youngest daughter's death and fell ill. Seeing that her health was worse than before, the doctor came to see her and said that she would probably not last long.
This is very bad.
Uncle Yu’s eldest daughter is fifteen years old this year and is about to get married. If Mrs. Yu goes like this, Miss Yu will have to be filial.
But this is not the worst. At most, it is to get married later and the impact is not great.
The bad thing is that the eldest daughter of Mr. Yu is about to be fourteen and has not yet been settled. If she is filial to three years, she will be seventeen, so it is hard to say kinship. If she is not sure, she will have to be the successor for others.
Mrs. Yu was anxious about this and wanted to quickly settle the marriage for her daughter. But the Yu family had just left a aunt who was left back to her parents' home by her husband's family. At this moment, who dared to marry the Yu family? Isn't that unlucky?
The official clan is no longer able to rely on, and the common people are too low.
what to do?
Mrs. Yu gave her an idea to choose one of the newly promoted Jinshi this year. Those from poor families are not qualified to be picky. The girl from the Yu family married and has enough confidence. Moreover, since she passed the Jinshi exam, it means that she has the ability and the Yu family will help her, and the career in the future will not be too difficult.
Mrs. Yu Er thought about it and thought it was feasible.
But the Jinshi is also divided into different levels. Mrs. Yu Er definitely doesn’t want her daughter to marry outside, so she must choose someone to work in Beijing.
There are few such people.
According to the rules, only the top three can stay in Beijing and enter the Hanlin Academy. Others, if there is a family relationship, such as those families, they don’t need to be sent out. However, the Yu family will definitely not be able to reach such people. Excluding various factors, there is not much room for choice.
The ranking is high and there is no big background... After Master Yu Er went to the Ministry of Personnel to ask, there was really one.
Jiang Yuan!
New Tanhualang.
He was born as a civilian businessman, but he was very talented. What is even more rare is that he is handsome and better than many children from aristocratic families in the capital.
When he heard that he was from a merchant, Mrs. Yu was not very happy. How could a family of officials marry a lowly merchant? Even civilians are better than merchants.
Master Yu Er said: "There are many poor children in this group of Jinshi, and only Jiang Yuan is the top three. If the two of the first two were from aristocratic families, he would have been the top scholar. He also passed the Jinshi, named He Xinghuai, the fourth place in the Jinshi. His ancestors were the prefect and his father was also a juren. Unfortunately, he already has a wife and children in his family."
Speaking of this, Master Yu Er's tone was full of regret.
He Xinghuai's comprehensive conditions are the most satisfying to him.
Although the Yu family is not a prominent family, they still have some connections. It is not difficult to keep He Xinghuai in Beijing. It is okay to stay for three years and go to Six Ministry or the Censorate. If your daughter gets married, it won’t be too wronged.
Unfortunately, they have a family.
He could only settle for the second best and chose Jiang Yuan.
"Madam, I know you think he is from a low birth, but we don't have many choices now. And then I thought about it carefully. Although Jiang Yuan's background is not good, he is a talented person and will definitely have a future. Moreover, his parents are gone, and our daughter will not have to serve her parents-in-law after she gets married. They are merchants and will even hold our daughter. In addition, the Jiang family has a wealth of wealth, and the daughter can enjoy happiness after she gets married."
Mrs. Yu Er's brows loosened a little.
"Then, please come to the mansion another day, and Ling'er and I will talk about it."
