Chapter 49 Make your own decisions
Aunt Shen is planning to marry Shen Yan into Hao Mansion, so that even if Hao Ling gets married, the heroine of Hao Mansion will still be her. Shen Yan has no courage to compete with her aunt. It's just that it's useless for her to think about it. After all, she doesn't have the final say in this family.
It's just that now that Master Hao doesn't help her, he even persuades her to give up.
Hearing Master Hao's words, Aunt Shen suddenly had no strength to knock on her back. She took the opportunity to sit on the couch with her legs pressed, and said nothing sullenly.
Master Hao looked back and saw Aunt Shen sitting there sullenly, with an unhappy face. Without thinking about it, she knew that it must be because of what he had just said.
Master Hao quickly came forward and took Aunt Shen's body and coaxed her a good voice, "I know what you are thinking. Yan'er is indeed a good girl, but Ling'er doesn't agree with this marriage. I can't force him as a father, can I? If you want me to see, even if you don't marry into Hao's house, Yan'er can find a good mother-in-law. Why do you delay her?
Aunt Shen gave Master Hao a look and sighed, "Sir, Yan'er is my niece. How can I deliberately delay her? It's just that I'm thinking that Yan'er is meek. What if she marries someone else and is bullied? On the contrary, the young master has a good temper. If he can get along with Yan'er, he must be the little couple, who must be respectful and respectful to each other.
Master Hao nodded repeatedly and answered Aunt Shen's words with a smile.
"Sir, the marriage is the words of the parents' matchmaker. Is it possible that the young master's marriage is really up to him?" Aunt Shen asked tentatively.
Although the old man has told her that Hao Ling's marriage must be done by himself, but from the perspective of common sense, this really doesn't make sense. How can you let your children decide to get married by themselves? Isn't it almost the same as a private life?
Master Hao still smiled with a good temper and said, "I know you are thinking about Ling Er, but his mother begged me for this matter before she died. Since I have promised her, I can't regret it now, right? Businessmen have to be honest, not to mention that Ling'er was also present at that time.
"The master said something wrong," Aunt Shen was as happy as if she had grabbed a handle. "The young master is your own son. How can you treat him like a businessman? I don't know what my wife thought before she passed away, but if I let others know that the young master's marriage is private with others for the rest of my life, where will Hao's face go in the future?
Master Hao closed his mouth and thought for a while, as if he had heard Aunt Shen's words in his heart.
It's just that Aunt Shen hasn't been happy for a while, so she heard Master Hao say, "That's not what she means. I think my wife means is that she hopes that Ling's future daughter-in-law will please him. I said that since you are in charge of the inner house now, Ling'er's marriage must be hard for you. Why don't you find some girls of the right age to choose for Ling'er? It can't be said that there are those who like him. In this way, since she obeyed his wife's will and did not let Ling Er make a private life with others, isn't it the best of both worlds?
After Mr. Hao finished speaking, he looked proudly at Aunt Shen complacently.
Aunt Shen was stunned by Master Hao's words. Indeed, what he said was also one of the solutions, and even quietly put the responsibility on her aunt. According to Master Hao, if Hao Ling can't find a satisfactory daughter-in-law, it is that her aunt is not working hard.
This responsibility, even if it is true, how dares Aunt Shen to shoulder it openly?
She quickly straightened up and beat Mr. Hao's back with moderate strength. While defending herself aggrievedly, "Doesn't the master mean to blame me for not doing my best?"
Master Hao closed his eyes and enjoyed the service of Aunt Shen, "How come? I know that you are kind-hearted, all for the sake of Ling'er and Yan'er. It's just that women's marriages here also have to pay attention to fate. They are predestined in this life, and they can't force it, can they?
What Master Hao said was right. Aunt Shen couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment, so she could only nod and say yes, but her mood became more and more dull.
In the afternoon, Master Hao had gone to the shop to check the accounts. Aunt Shen was still worried about Hao Ling's marriage in the yard. The little maid outside came to report that Hao Yu was coming.
When Aunt Shen heard that her son was coming, she quickly put aside Hao Ling's affairs and hurriedly asked the maids to have tea and snacks to welcome the second young master of Hao's mansion.
"Mother, are you all well today?" As soon as Hao Yu entered the door, he greeted Aunt Shen with a smile on his face.
When Aunt Shen saw her son standing in front of her, how could she feel uneasy? He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, why don't you study in the study today and come to me?"
The Hao family has been doing business for generations, but Master Hao is looking forward to a person who can become an official. Therefore, while asking Hao Ling to study business, he also requires Hao Yu to study hard and strive for a reputation.
On this point, Aunt Shen has always been dissatisfied with Mr. Hao. She thought that this was Master Hao's bias! This business is the foundation of the Hao family. Because Hao Ling is the legitimate son, he is qualified to inherit the family business. Hao Yu is the son of a concubine, so he can only listen to Master Hao and work hard to get a meritorious name.
In fact, everyone can understand that Hao Ling's personality is dull, and he is the one who is suitable for reading and meritoriousness; and Hao Yu is smart, smooth and smooth with people, which is a good material for business.
Aunt Shen looked at Hao Yu with a sigh. After all, she still blamed herself. If it hadn't been for her identity as an aunt, the master would not have been so biased and wronged her Yuer.
Hao Yu sat on Aunt Shen's left hand side and looked at Aunt Shen with a smile on his face. "I've been reading for a long time. It's just right to come out to have a rest, so I came here to look at my mother."
Aunt Shen looked at Hao Yu heartlessly and sighed, "It's still my Yuer's intimate."
Hao Yu obviously heard the meaning of Aunt Shen's words and asked, "But what's there in the house that makes my mother worry about?"
Aunt Shen shook her head and sighed, "Isn't it your eldest brother's marriage? The master is complaining about me now, saying that I am not doing my best enough. Alas... What a good girl Yan'er is. With the young master, I think she is wronged. If it weren't for my status as my direct aunt, your uncle and aunt may not have agreed.
How can Hao Yu not understand what Aunt Shen means? It's just that my aunt is also thinking about him and wants to earn more family property for him.
"Mom, I've heard about this, too. In my opinion, this matter has to be discussed in the long-term. Now the eldest brother and Yan'er are not young, and I'm afraid it can't be delayed any longer. Hao Yu said with a serious expression.
