It was accidental that Lu Yunran bumped into Gao Yonghuai.

Wang Xiu didn't take it to heart at all, not to mention that she and Lu Yunhong were there at the time, so it was not considered disrespectful for two juniors.

But on the third day, when the Gao family sent someone to propose marriage, Wang Xiu was stunned.

She jumped up from her bed, put on her shoes, and asked solemnly: "Are you sure you heard correctly?"

Nan Nan said: "I'm sure. This is the old mother from Gaozhifu. Her surname is Wang. My wife calls her Mrs. Wang."

"She said she was shameless because she came to propose marriage for her eldest grandson, Gao Yonghuai, the eldest grandson of the Gao family."

Wang Xiu asked suspiciously: "What about Mrs. Gao?"

Nan Nan shook her head: "I don't know."

This matter was so strange that Wang Xiu immediately frowned. Instead of rushing to the hall, she took a detour to the backyard.

Lu Yunran was running around anxiously when he saw Wang Xiu coming and said: "Sister-in-law."

Wang Xiu patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, my wife won't marry you casually. I have sent someone to inform your elder brother, he will be back soon."

Lu Yunran said: "What's going on with the Gao family? I didn't hear about it last time I came here?"

Wang Xiudao: "It should be that Gao Yonghuai met you before and then went home to talk."

Lu Yunran said shyly and angrily: "What does he think of me? He wants to marry me as soon as we meet him, so I have to marry him?"

Wang Xiu complied with her objection and said, "Don't be angry, their old lady is here. Master Gao must have agreed to this marriage."

Lu Yunran said: "So what if Mr. Gao agrees? Do our families have to bow their heads? Anyway, I won't marry!"

Wang Xiudao: "Their family is indeed too reckless. Since you don't want to, this matter will be taken care of by me."

Lu Yunran said quickly: "Sister-in-law, please don't quarrel with your parents because of me. Even if you have to quarrel, I will do it."

Wang Xiu smiled and said: "What's the matter with you brothers and sisters? Every time we talk about a quarrel, you want to take action yourself. Am I so weak?"

"Besides, what's the point of quarreling with your parents? After the quarrel, we kneel down to apologize, but after the quarrel, we kneel down to beg for mercy. Isn't this interesting?"

After hearing this, Lu Yunran smiled and felt much better.

Wang Xiu took the opportunity to comfort her and said, "Don't be anxious, I have my own way of doing this."

Seeing that she was confident, Lu Yunran felt inexplicably at ease. Even when Mrs. Wang wanted to invite her to the front hall, she was not so repelled.

Wang Xiuze took the opportunity to ask Rongrong to find her fifth brother, because she had asked Huang Zizhao to find Lu Yunhong before, and now she could only ask Qin Zhu, the eldest son of Steward Qin, to send her there.

Before leaving, Wang Xiu told Rongrong: "No matter whether Fifth Brother has a suitable candidate in mind, he must accompany me to deal with this marriage today."

Rongrong understood and quickly rushed to the construction site with Qin Zhu.

Wang Xiu took a look at the clothes he was wearing, turned around and returned to the room.

When Nan Nan saw her coming back, she asked suspiciously, "You haven't gone to the front hall yet?"

Wang Xiu hummed and said, "Bring your eldest grandma's shirt, I'm going to make a splash today."

Nan Nan looked at her confused, and Wang Xiu said, "Just the double-breasted shirt with gold thread embroidered with peonies, bring it quickly, and the set of pearl hair, face, and jasper hands that the eldest princess prepared for me."

Strings, etc., find them all.”

Nan Nan suddenly understood, and quickly helped her change into gorgeous clothes, put on a dazzling headdress, and then helped her to the front hall after dressing up.

Lu Yunran happened to be there too. Looking over from a distance, he was dumbfounded.

Is that beautiful lady who shines like a pearl really her sister-in-law?

The pearl head is soft and moving, and a peony flower on the temples is lifelike. I don't know what material it is made of. There is a bit of blue light in the pink, and the stamens in the middle are shining with gold. She has never seen such a beautiful hairpin flower even in the capital.

There is also the double-breasted blouse worn by my sister-in-law. It is made of goose-yellow gold brocade, with large peonies embroidered with gold thread on the outside. It looks luxurious and gorgeous. Where have you seen it in the market?

Not to mention her, even her mother and Mrs. Wang were dazzled by it.

Mrs. Wang subconsciously stood up and asked, "Who is this...?"

Wang Xiujian was shocked by Old Mrs. Wang, and quickly stepped forward to support her: "This is the first time for the old lady to come to our house. She will come here more often in the future. I am Yunhong's wife, the daughter of the Wang family, and the old lady

It’s a surname.”

"No, I just heard that the old lady is here. I was thinking about meeting my old lady for the first time in Wuxi. I quickly dressed up and went to the warehouse, for fear of neglecting my old lady."

Saying that, he quickly winked at Nannan.

Nan Nan understood and immediately presented a box.

Wang Xiu opened it, and the jasper bracelet inside was crystal clear and green. The color looked like cat's eye, but it was not much more valuable than cat's eye. Mrs. Wang's heart was moved when she saw it.

I saw Wang Xiu taking it out, holding Mrs. Wang's hand and trying to put it on her.

Mrs. Wang was anxious and said quickly: "I can't do it, I can't do it. How can an old woman like me wear such a precious and rare thing?"

Wang Xiu pretended to be unhappy and said: "Madam, don't say that. This bracelet was awarded by the eldest princess. I am too young to wear it. I always thought of keeping it for the elders in the family. Today I heard that Madam is here."

, I quickly found it."

"Old lady, don't refuse. My natal family is in the capital. You just think that I have recognized a relative in Wuxi. From now on, our two families should visit each other frequently."

Mrs. Wang was reluctant to take the things, and when she heard that the eldest princess had rewarded them, she was very excited.

It's good to know that her surname is Wang, but she has nothing to do with the Wang family in the capital. Today, Wang's promotion of her is probably to facilitate the marriage between the Gao and Lu families.

She just happened to see Lu Yunran, who was very slim and graceful.

So Mrs. Wang said: "Look what grandma said, what should I, my wife, say? It's fitting that our two families have this fate, and we should be one family, right?"

Mrs. Chen was worried that Wang Xiu would agree to the marriage, and when she was about to speak, she found her daughter gently holding her shoulders.

Mrs. Chen understood and quickly pretended as if nothing had happened.

Wang Xiu took Mrs. Wang's hand and said intimately: "Of course. Mrs. Wang and I are so close to each other. Why are we not a family?"

"It's rare for an old lady to come to your house today. Why don't you let me be the host? Let's go to the market and let me buy something to honor you."

Mrs. Wang was really overwhelmed when she saw Wang Xiu being so enthusiastic.

She said quickly: "I am here today because of my grandson Yonghuai. Your eldest lady Huizhi Lanxin lives in Yijia. I want to marry my grandson Yonghuai."

"Don't worry, although our Gao family is not a famous family, we are still a family of officials. We have three books and six etiquettes, and Dayan is the one who hires us. We will handle everything thoughtfully and will never let the eldest lady in your family suffer any injustice."

"Ah?" Wang Xiu was stunned and stunned for a moment.

When Mrs. Wang saw this, she secretly said something bad.

"What's going on? You don't agree?"

Wang Xiu sighed, looked at Mrs. Wang with some resentment and said, "Why did you just say it now? It's too late!"

Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded and said hurriedly: "I just asked your mother-in-law, she said Yun Ran hasn't been engaged yet, why is it too late?"

Wang Xiu stood up in low spirits and said calmly: "Isn't it too late?"

"Before, before my fifth brother came, Master Gao and Mrs. Gao came to the house with their three children. At that time, I saw that Yong Huai was good, and I mentioned it to Yun Hong, saying that Yong Huai and Yun Ran were similar in age, and maybe our two families had something to do with each other.

Fate. But Yunhong said that Master Gao and Mrs. Gao didn't have this intention, so I thought since it didn't happen, then forget it."

"No, my fifth brother came to the Lu family a few days ago. When he talked about his favorite disciples, all of them were famous and from famous families, I asked him to be a matchmaker and arranged the marriage for Yun Ran.

"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she stood up in a hurry, grabbed Wang Xiu and asked, "Then the marriage has been decided?"

Wang Xiudao: "I have already sent a letter to the capital. I just need to wait for the reply to make the decision. If Yun Ran is betrothed to the Gao family at this time, it will be the fault of our Lu family and Wang family."

Mrs. Wang wondered: "Then send someone to recover the letter?"

Wang Xiu said with a depressed look on his face: "The letter came from official sources, and together with the reply to the eldest princess, I'm afraid it has already left Jiangnan."

Mrs. Wang was completely dumbfounded: "Then what should we do?"

Wang Xiu let out a long sigh and said with great regret: "Why didn't you, old man, come to Lu's house together? The two of us were going to meet at that time. Wasn't the marriage settled?"

After saying that, he took Old Mrs. Wang and walked a few steps to the front of the hall, and said in a low voice: "I was dining with Mrs. Gao at that time, and it wasn't until they left that Yong Huai came to see my mother-in-law. This was to avoid suspicion."

The implication is that Mrs. Gao did not want to get married at all at that time.

Mrs. Wang's heart aches. What else can she do, that stupid woman?

The Lu family has such a good marriage, and they still have contact with the eldest princess's house. Is it because lard has deceived her?

When Mrs. Wang saw the jasper beads hanging on her wrist, her heart felt as if someone had cut it out alive. How painful was it?

Wang Xiu, who had his back turned to Chen and Lu Yunran, gave them a sign of success with his backhand!

When Chen and Lu Yunran saw this, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

At this moment, Lu Yunyuan and Lu Yunzhu, who were hiding behind the flower vat in the front hall, thought that Wang Xiu and Mrs. Wang had seen them, and raised their heads tremblingly.

When Wang Xiu saw this, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he thought something bad in his heart.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang, who was still heartbroken, looked at the two little girls who looked like flowers, and quickly asked in surprise: "They are..."

Wang Xiu quickly stepped forward and shouted: "What are you two doing here? Come down quickly!"

Lu Yunyuan and Lu Yunzhu were startled, looked at each other and quickly turned and left.

But at this time, Mrs. Wang had already chased down the steps, grabbing their hands from left to right and saying, "You are also girls from the Lu family, right?"

Wang Xiu: "..."

Going crazy!!
