Chapter 1308 Family Interests (3)
After breakfast, Mr. Tan was about to go out. There were more than 20 days left for the second son to get married, and many things had to be purchased, so even though Tan Jingye was injured, he went out to buy things early yesterday.
Before leaving, Mr. Tan suddenly remembered something: "Did you send a message to the Gu family yesterday?"
Mrs. Tan shook her head and said, "No, there are so many things in the past two days that I can't spare time."
"Then I'll give it to you today, otherwise the Gu family would think we are not sincere!"
Mrs. Tan lowered her eyes and said, "We specially rushed from our hometown to the capital to hold a wedding. This is not sincere, so how can we be considered sincere?"
According to Mrs. Tan's opinion, she wanted to hold a wedding in her hometown. The Gu family sent her to Heze, but Mr. Tan insisted on coming to Beijing to hold the wedding. Seeing that she could not change Mr. Tan's opinion, she wanted to use the reason for being sick to let her eldest daughter-in-law organize the wedding. Who would have thought that the eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant and was still happy, so she had no choice but to come unwillingly.
Mr. Tan said angrily: "It would be fine if I was in my hometown before, but now I come to the capital and don't go to visit my in-laws, what do you think?"
Mrs. Tan said: "In-laws, what kind of family are they? Our future daughter-in-law is neither Gu nor Shen, her surname is Lin."
Master Tan said calmly: "Whether the surname is Gu or Shen, they are all close relatives of their daughter-in-law. Even if you don't like it, you have to be polite."
Mrs. Tan said angrily: "I know why you don't need to teach me."
At this moment, an old woman came over and replied, "Master, Madam, the Gu family has come, and she also brought a matchmaker."
The couple looked at each other. It was not unusual for the Gu family to come, but it was a bit strange to bring a matchmaker. Mr. Tan felt that something was wrong, so he didn't rush to go out and wait in the main hall.
When he heard the other party’s purpose, Master Tan was stunned: “What did you say, to withdraw from the marriage?”
Mrs. Tan screamed: "Retire the bride? What do you mean? You will get married in more than twenty days. What do you want to do when you withdraw from the bride?"
Mother Hua said rudely: "My old lady told her wife that since Mrs. Tan looks down on our Gu family, there is no need to get this marriage."
Master Tan stared at Mrs. Tan and asked, "What did you do?"
Mrs. Tan was a little guilty and said, "What did I do? I didn't do anything."
Mother Hua sneered, "Yes, Mrs. Tan, you did not do anything. You have been to the capital for two days and didn't care about going to the Gu family's door. That's fine. My wife heard that Mr. Tan was injured and came to visit you at home and didn't even show her face. My wife said, "We can't afford to be a family member of the Tan family, so let's go with the marriage."
"The old lady specially ordered the old slave to come and inform us that we will send back both the Geng Tie and the betrothal gift in the afternoon. We also hope that Master Tan will prepare the Geng Tie and we will come to pick it up in the afternoon."
After saying this, Hua Mama was about to go out.
Master Tan was so anxious that he was sweating. He blocked Mother Hua's way and said, "This is all a misunderstanding. We absolutely have no intention of looking down on the Gu family."
Mother Hua said coldly: "Did you misunderstand Mrs. Tan know in your heart? My girl doesn't have to worry about marrying. You don't want to get married. You'll tell me earlier if you don't want to get this marriage. Why do you have to do such a humiliating thing? Although our Gu family is not a big family, not everyone can bully it."
After saying this, Hua Mama left.
After Hua's mother went out, Master Tan was full of anger: "What's going on? Explain it clearly to me?"
Mrs. Tan was also a little scared, but she still said, "Master, they will get married in more than 20 days. They dare not withdraw from the bride. This incident is just to scare us."
After hearing this, Master Tan didn't understand anything else. He slapped Mrs. Tan, making Mrs. Tan's eyes look like stars.
After the fight, Master Tan scolded angrily: "Scar you, who do you think you are? Lin Qingluan is Lin Qingshu's real sister. If you quit today, a matchmaker will come to the Gu family to propose marriage in less than three days. But what about the business? Once you quit the marriage, it will be impossible to find such a good marriage again."
Although Lin Qingluan's parents and Li have their own families, she graduated from Kyoto Girls' School and taught at Qingmos Girls' School. This alone is enough to match his family's Tan Jingye. Not to mention that she has a generous dowry, a sister with a wide connection and a brother-in-law with a good career. If she can get married, it is because his son has a great fortune.
Mrs. Tan was stunned: "It is impossible, how can a woman who has retired from marriage find a better marriage?"
In my hometown, the woman who retired from marriage either became a monk or did a reunion for others.
Mr. Tan was really angry and vomiting blood: "Do you think this is the family? This is the capital, and there are many people who have divorced and remarried. What's the point of quitting your relatives?"
"Qingluan's sister is the adopted daughter of Duke Zhenguo and has to be relied on by the eldest princess. His brother-in-law is a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue at a young age. In addition, she has a large dowry, and as long as she releases the wind, she wants to tell her about her marriage, the matchmaker can break the threshold of her family."
"I know you suffered a great sin when you were born with sutras, but no matter what, he was still the flesh that fell from you. Are you so shameful to him and want to ruin him?"
With his son's conditions, he is lucky enough to marry a small official daughter if he is not lucky enough to marry a rich girl.
Mrs. Shen saw that something was wrong and quickly said, "Master, it's not the time to argue. The Gu family didn't bring Geng Tie and Borrowing Gift to quit the marriage, which means there is still room for improvement."
After being reminded like this, Master Tan came to his senses and said, "Yes, you are right, and there is still room for maneuver."
After saying that, he said to Mrs. Tan, "What are you still standing there? Hurry up and prepare a generous gift to the Gu family to apologize."
Although she was extremely angry, Mrs. Tan still went to prepare a gift.
The couple went to the Gu family with generous gifts, but unfortunately they were turned away. Old Mr. Tan was so angry that he said, "It's all good things you caused."
On the way back, Mrs. Tan said, "Or, let's..."
The following words were swallowed back in the vicious look of Mr. Tan.
When he got home, Master Tan went to find Tan Jingye and told him about the matter: "Jingye, this is your mother's fault, but no matter how it is, he will never quit the bride! Jingye, my father has never dealt with them and he doesn't know his temperament. Tell me how to make them quit the bride."
Tan Jingye was silent and said, "Dad, forget it, let's withdraw from the marriage!"
Mr. Tan almost jumped up: "What are you talking nonsense here? You will get married in more than half a month. Why should you quit at this time?"
Tan Jingye did not answer his words, but said, "Dad, my mother blamed me for not asking Brother Rong to go down the tree the day before yesterday. I was injured by myself. Dad, this life was given to me by her, and I will suffer no matter what she does. But I don't want Qingluan to marry her and suffer such grievances."
