But children are no longer under the control of their mothers. When they grow up, they all have their own ideas. How can they decide for themselves?
"Okay, but have you really made up your mind to choose this girl?"
"It's not confirmed yet. I'll find a chance to ask Miss Tian in person tomorrow, and then make a decision. If she doesn't want to, I can't force her to do anything!"
Marriage should be mutually willing, and life can be happy!
After Qiao Dalang finished speaking, he took out two brocade boxes from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Qiao Xin and the people around Xu respectively.
"Grandma, mother, I was shopping with my second sister at the jewelry store today and saw two nice pieces of jewelry that I thought would suit you both!"
Qiao Xin laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy, in order to get a wife, even your grandmother and your mother bribed! Big brother's wife, this kid has a heart!"
Xu agreed, "Mother is right. I will ask someone to arrange it right away! I will send a letter to the other party in Lingshu's name. What do you think?"
Seeing that she had calmed down, Qiao Xin started to chase her away.
"Go ahead and do whatever you need to do. You don't have to waste your time here!"
After everyone left, Nanny Qin noticed that the eldest lady was in a bad mood. Then Qiao Xin said.
"Is it that the maidservant feels a little disappointed when she sees the Madam?"
Qiao Xin smiled faintly: "Isn't this normal? Dalang used to have his mother in his heart and eyes, but a woman suddenly appeared and took away all of Dalang's attention. Dalang even humbled himself to please his mother for this woman. Which mother would feel comfortable in this situation?"
But this is just the beginning. Once the daughter-in-law comes home, the eldest daughter-in-law will have to adapt well to the new environment.
If they can put the mother-in-law in the right position, life will be much better for Dalang and his wife.
If she can't change her mind, it's hard to say what will happen to Dalang's life after marriage!
There is no couple in this world that cannot be separated by the mother-in-law.
If the mother-in-law's emotional positioning towards her son cannot be adjusted in time as her son starts a family, the family will definitely not be peaceful.
There can only be one mistress in a family. The older generation cannot learn to let go, and the new mistress is in urgent need of consolidating her territory. Of course, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cannot be harmonious.
The two generations have very different ways of thinking and living habits. If they are forced together, there will naturally be many conflicts!
But people in this era all insist on not dividing the family as long as their parents are still alive.
Even if the door is closed and brothers and sisters are fighting each other to the death, they have to maintain superficial harmony.
In Qiao Xin's opinion, this approach is completely self-deception and an attempt to cover up one's own mistakes.
But the general environment is like this, even if she sneers at it, she can only do nothing but say nothing.
When the Qiao family suddenly split up at the height of its prosperity, it attracted countless criticisms, and even Emperor Wu came forward to inquire about it.
To outsiders, such actions are seen as signs of discord among brothers and decline of the family.
But Qiao Xin felt that the three sons should settle down and rely on each other, instead of tying everyone's honor and disgrace together.
The banyan tree can always withstand wind and rain better than a towering tree!
"With the demonstration you gave her, the eldest lady should be able to change."
Qiao Xin didn't care. She was just taking care of her original body's son. She only helped her grandchildren because she had developed feelings for them after spending so much time with them.
If you go any further, there will be no more.
Human energy is limited. If you try to take care of everything, you will tire yourself and others, and others may not be grateful.
If she had not divided the family business early on and kept her daughters-in-law under house arrest, the relationship between him, Xu, and Wang Caiwei would definitely not be as harmonious as it is now.
The model room has been built for them, so whether they are willing to refer to it or not is none of her business.
In a few years, she will close her eyes. What does it have to do with her how other people live?
"I hope so. Anyway, since the younger generation doesn't tell me about their affairs, I'm too lazy to get involved. If I get involved too much, they may not be grateful to me if things are done well, but if things go wrong, they will definitely hate me!
Look, if we split up the family and live separately, will our lives be much quieter? It all depends on whether Xu is willing to understand the principle that things far away smell good, but things near stink.”
"The Madam is smart, she should be able to figure it out. Look, she and the Sixth Princess are getting along just fine, aren't they?"
"The princess is of noble status and lives in a separate residence, so Xu dare not act like a mother-in-law in front of her.
It's not certain for Dalang. The eldest son's wife is the Duke's wife after all. There are not many people in the capital who can put on airs in front of her. She has an advantage against Princess Changning."
Nanny Qin looked dazed. Having been with Qiao Xin for so long, she subconsciously ignored Xu's identity.
The other party had already become a noble first-class lady in the capital city because of her husband's status.
"Oh, by the way, Ma'am, see if there are any houses available near our home. We can buy a few houses and give them to our brothers when they get married. This is all we can do!"
"I'll ask you to pay more attention to this!"
"Um!"
.......
Just one day after the Shangsi Festival, the Qiao family invited officials, sons and ladies to participate in the flower-viewing party!
If we were to ask which family in the capital has servants who are best at growing flowers, it would definitely be the Qiao family.
Ever since the Qiao family entered the flower industry, they have been far ahead of others.
Those rare and valuable flowers and plants in the flower world that were once worth a fortune have long lost their scarcity after being cultivated by the Qiao family.
Celebrities and eccentrics who love exotic flowers and plants highly praised this behavior, but merchants in the flower industry were envious and jealous.
But gradually, everyone discovered that the Qiao family would occasionally share their new products with many flower growers to learn from.
Slander turned into support overnight!
The Qiao family ate the meat and let them drink the soup. This was much more righteous than other big families who kept the meat for themselves.
At this flower-viewing banquet, everyone heard that the Qiao family had developed many derivative products related to flowers and plants.
Before it is officially launched on the market, let us first open your eyes!
The lifelike shapes of the tongcao flower ornaments, the translucent pink lily of the valley, the dressing box made of mother-of-pearl, and the drops of gardenia immediately captured the hearts of the ladies present.
Xu was able to move among the noble ladies with ease and was no longer as reserved as before!
In addition to Qiao Xin, all the men, women, young and old from the Qiao family showed up. Most of the officials and their families in the court attended the banquet, and even the Empress and the Crown Princess sent people to be present.
Qiao Xin has always disliked such scenes. She came out to say hello, socialized for a while, and then went back into the house.
It was just an ordinary banquet, but it showed the status of the Qiao family in the capital.
After seeing off the last guest, Xu and Wang Caiwei slumped in their chairs, looked at each other, and smiled bitterly.
"Sister-in-law, I now understand why mother-in-law doesn't like to hold banquets. With so many servants helping out, and all the masters and mistresses showing up, we are exhausted. If we have to do it every two or three days, even a strong body can't handle it!
You have worked so hard in the past!"
"Isn't this as it should be? If it weren't for the children's matchmaking, our family wouldn't have bothered with this! I don't know how the children are doing."
