The three old women with the highest seniority got along well with each other. The daughters-in-law below them naturally had a smiling face. They either listened or occasionally interjected. At this time, even if there was any filth between them, they would not be so stupid as to show it on the surface.
"I haven't been in the capital all these years. I've troubled you to take care of those bastards at home. I'm sorry."
"We're family. Aren't we estranged from each other?" Madame Chen's mother was born in a family of generals. Influenced by her mother, she was quite forthright. As she grew older, she gradually restrained herself. However, when facing her former close friend, she showed signs of recovery.
Madame Luo couldn't do anything about it. If she continued, she was afraid that Madame Luo would really get angry with her. So, she began to talk about the younger generation of the family.
Unsurprisingly, they talked about Jingwan's marriage. "To be honest, although I've planned to come to the capital this time, part of the reason is my granddaughter. If I can find her a good husband, I'll be relieved."
She had noticed that Madame Luo treated Jingwan differently. Before they came to the capital, she had occasionally heard about it. But she didn't expect that she cared so much about it. "Tell me, what kind of man do you want?"
Since it was about Jingwan, Madame Luo naturally didn't hold back. "First of all, he must have a good character and be ambitious. He doesn't need to be handsome, but at least he should be decent. His family background should be simple, especially the future mother-in-law. She can't be sharp and gentle. My second son will probably be like that in his life. So, I don't expect him to have a good family background. It's enough if he can be good to Wan Wan."
"Your requirements are neither high nor low."
"Is this not low? I didn't ask him not to take in concubines or raise a concubine. It's good enough that he only has Wan Wan in his heart. "Madame Luo was a little dissatisfied with Madame Chen's words.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Even choosing a son-in-law shouldn't be like this, right?
Old Madam Chen sighed, "Let's not talk about the fact that you won't be able to sleep with a concubine. But looking at your thoughts, at least you can't go too far. You can't spoil the concubine and neglect the wife. This person has a long life. Naturally, the selection of people has to be more meticulous. It's not enough to just look at the surface. We have to do a thorough investigation. I'm more familiar with the current capital than you are. Give me a few days and I'll ask around. "
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Enough, stop putting on an act. When were you ever courteous with me when you were young?" Old Madam Chen scolded with a smile.
"That's because sister-in-law gave in to me." Madame Luo also smiled.
"Mother, if you ask me, there's already a good candidate. Min Geer should be able to meet Aunt's requirements in all aspects." A woman slowly peeled the almonds. She didn't eat them and just put them on a plate at the side.
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman sitting opposite her stared at her like a knife. However, she didn't show any weakness. Instead, she straightened her back and looked at the woman with a smile.
After her reminder, Old Madam Chen clapped her hands, "That's right, how could I forget about Min Geer?"
"Min Geer? The one just now? " Madame Luo hadn't calmed down at that time. She didn't see clearly and didn't have much of an impression.
Speaking of which, it was the eldest grandson of Madame Luo's third brother, Chen Zhengmin. He was 16 years old. Because he was going to the capital to take the imperial exam, he was staying at his eldest granduncle's house.
"Yes, Min Geer has been staying at home for the past few months. Although I can't say I'm 100% sure of his character, I'm still 70% sure. He's polite, modest, and knowledgeable. Your elder brother said that if there's no accident, he'll be one of the top ten in the second grade. If he's lucky, he might even be able to come in third like my brother-in-law back then. The key is that there was a shameless girl who threw herself at him, but he wasn't moved at all. He left her to me to deal with and didn't cross the line at all. He's very well-behaved."
Madame Luo was a little moved. It sounded like a good candidate.
"After he came to the capital, my third sister-in-law also sent me a letter. If it's suitable, I'll find him a good wife in the capital. I don't know what your family's Jingwan is like, but based on my understanding of you, she's definitely a good girl. Moreover, my third uncle and the others have great expectations for Min Geer, so they don't mind him staying in the capital. With my brother-in-law's ability, it's naturally not difficult for him to do this. In this way, your third daughter doesn't have to marry far away. The more I talk about it, the more I feel that the two of them are suitable. The timing is also very coincidental, as if it's predestined by fate. "Madame Chen nodded as she spoke.
"Mother, my husband is also in the front yard. Isn't he also going to take the imperial exam this year? I think he'll meet Min Geer and have a lot to talk about. He'll know more or less about him. Go back and ask my husband. You'll see Min Geer again later," Madame Wu said. However, Madame Wu didn't have much hope for her husband. Otherwise, he would have gone to the capital to study in peace long ago. Why would he wait until he was with Madame Wu? She might have had some hope in the early years, but now, it was dispensable.
"Now that you mention it, I remember that Min Geer has also been to your house once or twice. I heard that my brother-in-law personally taught him once. My brother-in-law has a good impression of him. You can go back and ask him."
Madame Luo nodded. To be able to gain her husband's favor, this child was at least good in some aspects. She had an idea.
Madame Chen thought of another matter. "Since you're preparing to choose a husband for her, why haven't I seen any movements from your eldest daughter-in-law and her mother?"
"I didn't tell them in advance. If I let you search for her, it's most likely because you're considering my eldest son's future and interests. If I tell her the conditions clearly, she probably won't be so dedicated. That's not what I want to see. As for Wan Wan's mother, she's not important. I don't intend to let her interfere in Wan Wan's marriage."
Madame Chen also smiled. "Your second daughter-in-law is lucky."
"But for the child, it's not a blessing."
In the end, only Madame Luo and Madame Chen were left to talk privately. Everyone else dispersed.
The daughters-in-law of the Chen family's third branch followed behind Second Madame Chen. One of them, whose family name was Yun, finally couldn't help but say, "Mother, I took a fancy to Min Geer for my niece. What right do they have to snatch him away? And that b * tch Ruan, she clearly knows what I mean, but she deliberately goes against me. "She angrily pulled at her handkerchief. Her eyes were about to burst into flames.
However, Second Madame Chen still walked forward unhurriedly. The other woman beside her also ignored her.
"Mother, you have to think of a way." This damn old woman. She said she was kind, but in fact, she was cowardly. She didn't know how to fight or snatch. Otherwise, their second branch would definitely be much better than now. She was so angry that she didn't know where to vent her anger.
Second Madame Chen was probably annoyed by her. She stopped and turned around. "He was chosen for your niece. How thick-skinned do you have to be to say that?"
"What's wrong with that?" Yun stiffened her neck and replied.
Second Madame Chen laughed. It was a mockery that Yun had never seen before. "Your niece is shameless. She repeatedly pestered Min Geer. Min Geer has a good temper, so he left her some face. Don't you think what she did was right? That's right. Didn't you do this to my son back then? Birds of a feather flock together. "
Yun's face flushed red. "Mother, don't make slanderous accusations." She gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
Second Madame Chen completely ignored her anger. "Whether or not I'm making slanderous accusations, you know best in your heart. For my son's sake, I'll give you a piece of advice. Your little tricks can be used on my stupid son. Now that your eldest aunt has the intention to reconcile Min Geer with your aunt's child, if you use similar methods on Min Geer, how can she continue to tolerate your niece? If she continues to be so stubborn, when your eldest aunt's thunderous methods strike, she will definitely ruin her reputation. After that, all the girls in your maternal family will be unlucky. Don't let anyone die when the time comes, including you, who will be the sinner of your maternal family. "
Yun felt a little guilty at first, then she was stunned. "Mother, you're joking, right? Would eldest aunt do that?"
