Chapter 1002 I am doing this for your own good!
Mother Qiu looked at her son and saw that he was getting angry with her for a woman.
I feel even more that this woman is undesirable.
But she couldn't hurt their mother-son relationship, it would be too damaging.
I heard before that my son was going to marry Song Yun’s cousin. Isn’t that a girl from his hometown?
The first reaction is to disagree.
That's why I said I wasn't feeling well these days.
The two families had originally planned to meet, so they would meet.
I haven't been there for a few days.
Isn't that obvious?
He actually had the audacity to come to my house. Isn't it obvious that he is here to help?
She was attracted by her son's identity.
But in order to make his son side with him.
She could only say: "Look at this girl who has no sense of propriety, righteousness, and shame. It's obvious that she was poorly brought up since she was a child, and yet she came here on her own."
Qiu Ziyang frowned: "Didn't you say you were not feeling well? Didn't I tell her that you were not feeling well and should rest at home? Otherwise, why would she come to your house?"
If he had known that his mother was just faking illness, he should not have told Xin'er that his mother was sick.
Otherwise these things wouldn't happen.
If I hadn't urged my mother to go over there again and again.
He didn't even know that his mother was faking illness.
"She is just trying to curry favor with our family. Look at the things she brought with her when she came to our house. They are not presentable at all." Qiu's mother complained.
Qiu's mother thought that after her son passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, the major gentry in their county would give him money, land, and even houses as gifts.
Now he will definitely look down on the things Zhao Xin gave him!
Of course, Qiu's mother kept all these things for Qiu Ziyang and gave a little bit to the eldest wife.
After all, his younger son might need to deal with things in the officialdom, which would require money.
at this time.
No matter where the scholar comes from, as long as he is a juren or an official, it will be OK.
Gentry from all over the country would give gifts.
It’s just that the gifts vary depending on the grade.
After all, the purpose of giving gifts is to gain a favor. If your own children need help in the future, you can see if the other party can help you.
Qiu's mother still has tens of thousands of taels in her hands.
But tens of thousands of taels of silver are of little use in the capital, as money is needed everywhere.
If there is no other income, this ten thousand taels will be gone in two years if you save a little.
After all, there is still the custom of giving gifts in official circles.
So they don't dare to buy a house that is too expensive.
More than one thousand taels is already the maximum.
His eldest brother bought a house and only had a few hundred taels left.
Even if he wanted to do business, he still had to rely on Qiu's mother to use the money given by the gentry to do business.
Qiu Ziyang always thought that his mother was a good person.
He is also nice to his elder brother and sister-in-law.
Although I would occasionally say a few words to my sister-in-law.
I thought my mother might have a sharp tongue but a soft heart and was just a straightforward person.
He had never expected that she would embarrass a little girl like this today.
He knew that Zhao Xin was treated like a young lady in the Princess's Mansion.
"Mom, do you know what's good? Not to mention the four pieces of cloth, even the basket of fruit and watermelon cost twenty taels. The fruit is eaten by the upper-class people in the capital. Ordinary people can't afford it. How can it be cheap?"
Mother Qiu was stunned: "Aren't watermelons very cheap over here?"
Qiu Ziyang was speechless: "That was in the past. A watermelon here costs five taels of silver. There are other fruits as well. Have you seen them?"
Mother Qiu was thinking about the fruits in the basket. She had indeed never seen them, but she was wondering how much the fruits could be worth.
Never thought about it at all.
This fruit is inlaid with gold and is surprisingly expensive.
I felt a little regretful.
I shouldn't have said that just now.
As for whether you can keep the gift.
She spends more money than I earn. You should never marry a woman like that, or you'll squander all your family fortune in two days.
At this time, Qiu Wan heard that the fruit was so expensive.
God!
I began to blame my mother in my heart, why did someone take it away!
Even if the marriage fails, the gift can still be kept!
The eldest daughter-in-law was also surprised by the prices in the capital.
Just a little bit of fruit costs twenty taels.
It seems that my brother-in-law really needs to marry a lady from a better family, otherwise he doesn’t know what to do in the future.
Plus, my children also need to go to school.
Neither of them costs a small amount.
Mother Qiu said stiffly, "No matter how great her things are, I just think she is not suitable for you."
It was the first time that Qiu Ziyang saw his mother being unreasonable, and he thought to himself that Xin'er should just say goodbye to him.
My heart felt like it was being grabbed by someone, and I said impatiently: "Mom...what's wrong with her?"
She is good at both housework and cooking.
She is gentle and virtuous, and she is graceful and elegant when she goes out.
It can be said that she is more capable than many women in the capital.
The noble ladies in the capital city have to learn the responsibilities of a housekeeper from a young age.
It can be said that none of these can compare to Zhao Xin.
The point is that if they get married, their lives will only get better.
It's not like he didn't expect it.
Instead of marrying a higher-class woman, he might as well marry a young lady. She may not be as easy to talk to as Zhao Xin.
If you serve them like your ancestors, life may not be easy over time.
Besides, my younger sister’s personality isn’t very good either.
He was aware of this.
So no matter which aspect Zhao Xin is in, he likes and is optimistic about it.
He didn't expect it at all.
His mother reacted so strongly to my marrying Zhao Xin.
He had no idea why her mother disliked Zhao Xin so much.
What haven't they been exposed to yet?
Seeing that her son was determined to find out the reason, Qiu's mother
She stopped pretending: "I don't like her family background. A girl born in the countryside can't help you in the future. You have worked so hard for so many years, isn't it just to make a name for yourself?"
"If you find a Yue family with a better family background, you can work less for many years. I'm doing this for your own good!"
"In this capital city, anyone who knocks down a door plaque can get a third-rank official. If you find a good Yue family, you will have a backer."
Mother Qiu spoke with great sincerity, as if it was not easy for her to worry about her son all these years.
Qiu Wan also nodded beside her, as if to say that her mother was right.
Qiu Ziyang's eldest sister-in-law echoed her mother-in-law and said, "Yes! Uncle, mother is doing this for your own good."
The eldest brother next to him, Qiu Zifeng, didn't say a word.
He has been traveling around recently and found that business in the capital is not doing well.
And the storefront is hard to find.
The business he had done in Qiu Shui Town before was not easy to do here.
I have no idea now.
If my second brother can find a good marriage, it will be the best thing for the Qiu family.
All problems can be solved easily.
Qiu Ziyang listened to the reasons why his mother disliked Zhao Xin.
It was actually because of Zhao Xin’s family background.
A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"So the reason why you have always looked down on Xin'er is that you think she has a bad family background and is not worthy of me."
Mother Qiu's face turned pale and she did not refute.
Qiu Ziyang thought it was so funny.
This is actually the case.
