Chapter 167: Time to wake up from the dream
After hearing this, Mrs. Liao felt a little calmer, because she thought to herself, "Well, it's true that you can't make the decision on this kind of thing. But if my cousin doesn't like you, maybe you can try to influence the people around him.
"
Guizhi's eyes lit up, but she didn't dare to show it. She quickly lowered her head and pretended to be frightened: "The people around the prince? Grandma refers to Brother Yun? But... Brother Yun is three years younger than this slave."
"The female junior is holding a gold brick. Brother Yun has also reached the age of marriage. You are my dowry. You are first-class in appearance and temperament. Even among the servants, your status is higher than those ordinary girls. What does he have?
Not willing?」
After thinking about it carefully, the more I thought about it, the better I thought it was, so he clapped his hands and said, "Then it's settled, marry Xinghua first, and then I'll let my aunt make the decision and betroth you to Brother Yun. Brother Yun
My son's mother also served in the wife's house, and later became a housekeeper, so you are somewhat decent when you marry her."
"yes."
Guizhi was excited in her heart: Brother Yun is young and handsome. Although he is incomparable to the prince, he is the prince's confidant. He will be his wife when he marries her, and her husband's family is rich. In the future, she will rely on Liao and become a housekeeper. For a girl
Said, this is considered a bright future.
For a while, the master and the servant were each having sweet dreams, and both had happy faces.
It's a pity that this sweet dream didn't even wait until the night before waking up. As soon as Liao returned to the yard, she received a blow.
When she first heard the report from her mother-in-law, someone from the Jiang family came to propose marriage and had already gone to Aunt Xin's yard. Before Liao could recover, she asked in surprise: "Jiang family? Which Jiang family? Who did he come to marry?"
Propose marriage?"
The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "It's Mr. Jiang who lives in Changfeng Pavilion in our mansion. I heard that this is the high school reunion, and now his mother lives in the capital and happens to be hosting the wedding, so I sent someone to propose marriage today.
Already."
Mrs. Liao was a little startled, and murmured: "I have just discussed it with the concubine, and haven't sent anyone to tell me yet. Why did their family come here first without knowing it...wait..."
Her expression suddenly changed, and her voice rose an octave: "Where did you say she went? Qingliangyuan? His family came to propose marriage, shouldn't he come to me? Why did she go to Qingliangyuan?"
The mother-in-law shook her head and said, "This... this servant doesn't know either. She just saw Butler Cao leading someone there, so after asking a few questions, she hurried over to report the news. As for the details, grandma should send someone to Qingliangyuan to ask."
Mrs. Liao already had an ominous premonition in her heart, but she refused to give up and asked Guizhi to send a little girl to Qingliangyuan to gather information.
Soon, the little girl came back, and "living up to expectations" got the first-hand news: the person the Jiang family came to propose marriage to was the third girl in the mansion... Gu Yunxiang.
"Third Miss? Gu Yunxiang?"
Liao thought for a while before she remembered who this was. Fortunately, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she slapped the table and shouted: "This is simply unreasonable. What kind of person is Mr. Jiang? The Huiyuan of Jinke may even be the number one scholar, that one
...Why is that concubine? She is just a concubine who is not valued, and she also wants to marry Mr. Jiang? Isn’t this a toad that wants to eat swan meat? "
Guizhi quickly sent the little girl out and turned around and said to Mrs. Liao: "Grandma, this is not the time to be angry. You must quickly find a way to stop this marriage. I want you to come here, Mr. Jiang only reads books from sages every day. Can you understand?"
What? It must be the shameless one from the third girl. She hasn’t gotten married yet and she longs for a man, so she went to secretly hook up outside Changfeng Pavilion, and that’s why this happened."
Zhenzhen's words woke up the dreamer. Mr. Liao stood up and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid you are right. There is nothing scandalous about the lack of protection. Come on, please change my clothes. I'm going to Qingliangyuan."
.”
"Grandma, don't worry, this is not a matter for you to come forward. Aunt Xin is such a powerful person, and she has a new warehouse, how can she take you seriously? Let me tell you, I still have to let the concubine give her a hard beating. It's best if she can
It’s better to disturb this matter.”
Mrs. Liao frowned and said, "But if the matchmaker succeeds in proposing a marriage, even my aunt will have trouble destroying the marriage. What will happen then?"
Guizhi said: "If grandma goes to Qingliangyuan now, the matchmaker may have already left. Anyway, this is just the matchmaker's visit, and the engagement has not yet been made. Even if it is ruined, it does not count as regrets. Besides, grandma, think about it.
Absolutely
Aunt Xin is not the one who can make the decision. The prince must be the matchmaker. If you go there rashly, if Aunt Xin digs a hole for you, the prince will think that you are targeting the Liao family again. Wouldn't it be impossible to untie the knot between the couple?
"
Mrs. Liao nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "You are the one who sees clearly, but it's just that it's so cheap. She...she is a concubine born from a cheap maid, how can she compare with my ninth sister?"
Guizhi whispered: "If you don't want to take advantage of her, just ask the concubine to come forward and put any charges on her head. In short, it's best if you can mess up the marriage. Don't forget about the Jiang family as well.
Instead of sending someone to speak ill of you, and then find someone to praise Miss Ninth, if the Jiang family can abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."
"Pfft! I've put all your abilities to use, turning from darkness to light."
Mrs. Liao felt that this method was feasible, so she couldn't help but smile heartily, then touched the hairpin on her head, sat down and picked up the teacup, and said calmly: "You are right, it is better to let my aunt take action on this matter, why should I go and ask for help?"
Brother’s dissatisfaction? Okay, Guizhi, just go and talk to your aunt. As for what your aunt does, I don’t care.”
"yes."
Guizhi agreed, turned around and went out.
*********************
The sun was setting and a few dark clouds were floating in the sky. There were indeed a lot of thunderstorms this year.
"Finally, the three girls' lives are settled, and I will be able to rest in peace when I die."
Aunt Qin sat opposite Xin Nian, wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Xin Nian smiled and said, "Where is the third girl? You see she looks happy?"
"How can I still be unhappy? Such a young and promising husband, but her girl has a thin skin. I originally wanted to come with her to thank you, but she said she was afraid that you would make fun of her, so she refused to come."
Aunt Qin took a sip of tea, exhaled a long breath, and sighed: "Really, after so many years, my heart feels brighter now. I didn't realize before that there was always a big stone pressing on my chest."
Having said this, he looked at Xin Nian and said softly: "Logically speaking, we two should kowtow to you. If it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago. The third girl is alone in the house, a lonely ghost."
.In the past more than ten years, our mother-in-law could not even imagine that we would be able to live the life we have today, let alone find a good family for her now. If in the past, even if there was such a happy marriage, the concubine would never allow it.
