"How do you say this?" Mrs. Tang frowned in confusion.

Dong Yuluo said close to her ear, "The person my grandmother fell in love with was the Qiu family in Tianjin. The other party's family is large and well-off. It is a truly wealthy family. The person I fell in love with was the second son of the eldest son.

My grandmother was worried that I would be disappointed if I got married, so she wanted to prepare a large dowry for me. In addition to what my mother left for me, she also wanted to give me another dowry, and she also wanted to take out a few shops from my father's hands."

The Qiu family in Tianjin?

Mrs. Tang was startled at first, but when she thought about it carefully, her expression changed drastically.

"Which Qiu family in Tianjin is the one that runs a shipyard?" Mrs. Tang asked excitedly.

Dong Yuluo nodded, "That's the one."

Although Mrs. Tang didn't go out much, she had heard of the Qiu family in Tianjin. But she couldn't figure out how such a wealthy family could be related to the Dong family? What's more, although the Dong family is now well off, in the

Suzhou is also one of the best, but compared to the Qiu family, it cannot compare even to one corner.

She couldn't help but said worriedly, "Why did your grandmother like their family?"

"Actually..." Dong Yuluo's face was as red as the sunset and he said shyly, "It was the Qiu family who took a fancy to me first. During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the Liu family in Suzhou married their eldest daughter-in-law. My grandmother took me to the wedding banquet, where I happened to meet a man who came from Tianjin.

Mrs. Deng, the eldest daughter of the Qiu family, came over. The wife of the eldest son of the Liu family was also named Deng, and she and Mrs. Deng were uncles and sisters. I don’t know what I did, but Mrs. Deng took a fancy to me, and within a few days I asked someone to help me.

Asked about me. My grandmother said that Mrs. Deng was not the boss of the Qiu family in the past. Her mother-in-law looked down upon her and made her miserable. After her mother-in-law passed away, her son was able to take charge of her own affairs.

She has only two sons. The eldest son is now in his thirties and is training under his father to prepare for inheriting the family business in the future. The second son is still young and is said to be very well read. Deng

Madam's eldest son has long been married to the daughter of the Hu family in Tianjin. Although the Hu family is not as powerful as the Qiu family, it is still one of the few families in Tianjin. Moreover, Miss Hu is smart and smart.

She has quite the demeanor of being the matron of the house. As soon as she married into the Qiu family, she took care of the yard. Not only did she quietly send out the previous few accompanying girls for various reasons, she also won over the eldest young master of the Qiu family.

She was so happy that she became pregnant within half a year. Seeing that her second son had reached the age of getting married, Mrs. Deng was a little embarrassed. She was worried that she would marry another young lady and come back to compete with Miss Hu. She would be so busy that the life in the Qiu family's backyard would be miserable.

It’s lively.”

"What she considered was not unreasonable. Many famous families were eventually destroyed in the backyard." Mrs. Tang pondered, "The old saying is that seedlings are half as good as grain, and half as good as wives are half as much happiness. There is some truth in that."

Dong Yuluo sighed softly and rested his head on Mrs. Tang's shoulder, "My grandmother said that Mrs. Deng probably liked me because she saw that I was steady and orderly and had an unassuming personality. She was worried about the future.

My daughter-in-law is a powerful person and her eldest daughter-in-law’s temperament is not compatible with her, and I am afraid that she will be weak and incompetent and cannot take care of the second son’s daily life, so I have never found a suitable candidate. This time I met me at the Liu family’s wedding, and I felt that everything was perfect.

I thought it was appropriate, so I asked someone to inquire about me. However, before I came to Hangzhou, I heard that Mrs. Deng was not satisfied with the fact that I lost my mother when I was young, and was worried that such a child would have a bad personality, so I was a little hesitant."

Mrs. Tang changed her color slightly and said distressedly, "Rich families value family the most when choosing a daughter-in-law. They like families with both parents and good health and longevity. How many children who lost their mothers and fathers when they were young have no one to teach them, and they grow up to have eccentric personalities.

Being irritable and irritable is indeed not the first choice for a good match. Your mother's death has become an unchangeable fact, otherwise I would rather die in exchange for my own life and let her live..."

When Dong Yuluo heard this, he held Mrs. Tang's hand tightly and said, "Grandma, don't say that. If my mother hears these words, how can she rest in peace under the Nine Springs?"

Mrs. Tang sighed and continued, "It's useless to say all this now. Fortunately, you have been protected and raised by your grandmother since you were a child. She has a strong character and is strict with you, so she didn't raise you crookedly.

Although the Qiu family is good, it may not be really suitable for you. You will only know if the shoes on your feet are comfortable or not, you have to wear them yourself. You must not feel ashamed or feel inferior to others, you know?"

Dong Yuluo smiled obediently and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I won't take these troublesome things to heart. They don't look down on me, and I don't look down on them either. My grandmother has promised me a long time ago that my

The marriage requires my personal nod, otherwise I will not marry even if you are a relative of the emperor."

Mrs. Tang nodded with satisfaction, "It's best if you think so. I have lived to this age, and now there are only two things that I can't worry about, which make me sleepless and uneasy day and night. One is your marriage, and the other is

The second is Rongxuan's marriage. She is in the same situation as you, but her status is completely different. You have the support of the Dong family, and your grandmother loves you very much. She even plots against her own son for you. Rong Rong

Comparing Xuan and you, there is a huge difference. Her marriage is probably even more difficult. If I don’t see you two getting married and living a happy life in this life, I won’t be able to close my eyes even if I die.”

Dong Yuluo raised his head and asked curiously, "Hasn't the Bai family expressed their opinions so far? In any case, Rongxuan and Brother Zhi are both sons and daughters of the Bai family, and the blood of the Bai family still flows in their bones."

"Hmph." Mrs. Tang became very angry when she mentioned this. "The situation of the Bai family is also in a mess. They have too much time to take care of themselves. How can they have time to take care of their brothers and sisters? There are three bedrooms in the Bai family and three bedrooms outside. Once Mr. Bai dies,

There's a lot of fighting in these rooms. If they don't involve your aunt and the three of them, I'll be happy. If they come to the door, I'm afraid nothing good will happen. Hey, from the very beginning of her marriage to Bai Sanlang, I was worried about it.

Not optimistic, Qi Dafei. After all, the status of the Bai family is very different from that of our Tang family. I am worried that your aunt will be wronged if she marries. To be on the safe side, I also asked Yan Guanshi to go to Shanghai to inquire about the situation of the Bai family. I heard that the Bai family

When Sanlang was the person most interested in Mr. Bai, he knew that this marriage was unlikely to happen. Mr. Bai had three sons. The eldest son died of illness not long after they got married, leaving behind a posthumous son and eldest grandson. The eldest wife had been a widow for many years and had a pure heart.

In Japan, he only knows how to worship Buddha and recite sutras, and refuses to go out unless it is important. The second son is somewhat clever, but he only knows the desires of the ears and eyes. He married four or five concubines and had a litter of children. Your uncle Bai Sanlang is the most capable, and he also

He is highly regarded by Mr. Bai. However, although the eldest son of the Bai family has passed away, there is still an eldest grandson. Even if the eldest grandson is still young, there is still a second son who can inherit the family business. In any case, it will not be his turn, Bai Sanlang. Mr. Bai wants your uncle to

The housekeeper's reputation is not justified. If it really makes a big fuss, it will even shake the foundation of the family business. Although he has the intention, he can't make the effort. Only then did he start thinking about your uncle's marriage. Before your aunt, Mr. Bai was originally

It is planned to let Bai Sanlang marry the daughter of the Gu family. The Gu family, together with the Bai family, the Min family, and the Yao family, are collectively known as the four major families. They have the power to control the wind and rain in Shanghai and have survived a hundred years of ups and downs. They must be capable. Not to mention the family's early years.

There are many talented people, and some of their daughters even married into wealthy families in Peiping."
