Liu Qiaomei smiled and said, "What if? Of course, it would be great if the eldest sister is willing to say something nice about our Yu'er in front of Mrs. Qi."
Liu Qiao'an said calmly: "I am a straightforward person, and I can't speak bright words."
Liu Qiaomei felt happy when she saw Liu Qiaoan relenting. She quickly said with a smile, "Hey, my eldest sister, there is no need for you to say flattery, and there is no need for you to say flattery. You just tell the truth."
We all live in the capital. If anyone wants to know something, he can just make a little inquiry. What can he not know?
We are not bad at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. We have had famous teachers come to our house to teach us since we were young.
Even female embroiders pay high prices to hire embroiderers from the palace to come to the palace to teach them step by step.
In order to train Yu'er, I spent a lot of money.
I'm not talking big words, among all the women from aristocratic families in the capital, we Yu'er are not just top-notch, at least we are the best."
Liu Qiaoan looked at Ye Zhanyu and did not answer.
Liu Qiaomei continued: "Not only that, since the year before last, I have asked Yu'er to help me take care of the affairs of the house.
Now, Yu'er is responsible for everything inside and outside our house. No one in the Ye family can't help praising Yu'er.
In a family like the Jiang Mansion, of course one must marry a virtuous wife. We, like Yu'er, deserve the word "virtuous".
Since my sister can talk to Mrs. Qi, I will ask my sister to help us find out. If this can be a good thing, our whole family will definitely remember my sister's good deeds."
Liu Qiaomei boasted a lot, then looked at Liu Qiaoan eagerly, waiting for Liu Qiaoan to reply to her.
Liu Qiaoan wanted nothing to do with Liu Qiaomei, but when she saw Ye Zhanyu sitting next to her and smiling at her, Liu Qiaoan's heart softened a little.
Children should not be involved in matters between elders. Liu Qiaoan is a kind person. In her heart, she hopes that her children will have a good future.
Liu Qiao paused for a moment, looked at Liu Qiaomei and said, "Let's make an agreement first. I will only be responsible for delivering the message. I will not interfere with anything else."
Seeing that Liu Qiao'an agreed, Liu Qiao was ecstatic and nodded with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, yes, sister, don't worry, you don't need to interfere, I just need you to say something, and we won't force anything else. Yu'er,
Why don't you thank your aunt quickly?"
Liu Qiaomei happily agreed and urged her daughter.
Liu Qiaomei knew about the relationship between Liu Qiaoan and the Qi family.
In her heart, as long as Liu Qiaoan sincerely helps her daughter, this marriage will be more than half done.
Ye Zhanyu followed his mother's instructions, blushed and bowed to Liu Qiao'an, saying warmly: "Thank you, aunt."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Liu Qiaomei didn't stay much, and pulled Ye Zhanyu to stand up, "Okay, let's wait for the good news from my sister. Yu'er, say goodbye to your aunt, Ayu, come to play at her house another day."
Xu Guanyu twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled dryly, and did not reply to Liu Qiaomei's words.
Liu Qiaomei didn't expect Xu Guanyu to return her favor, so she left with Ye Zhanyu.
Xu Guanyu looked at Liu Qiaomei and Ye Zhanyu who were walking away, and complained dissatisfiedly to Liu Qiaoan: "Hasn't my mother suffered enough? Why do you care about her family's affairs?"
Liu Qiaoan said: "I made it clear to her. I only want to give her a message. We will not interfere with anything else."
Xu Guanyu curled her lips and snorted: "This family is so annoying! If things work out, she won't be grateful to you. If things don't work out, she will definitely blame you.
Then I will lay the blame on you and accuse you, saying that this marriage could not happen because A Niang and Mrs. Qi said bad things about her Yu'er..."
Before Xu Guanyu could finish speaking, Liu Qiaoan blurted out: "She dares!"
Xu Guanyu snorted and snorted coldly: "What is she so afraid of? Hasn't she done enough of this kind of thing?"
Liu Qiaoan was left speechless by her daughter.
Xu Guanyu glanced at her mother who was speechless, and then said: "Go back, I'll talk to my father, elder brother and younger brother. Let's see what they say."
Ning Wei looked at Xu Guanyu in surprise, and then at Liu Qiao'an. She never expected that her cousin, who was always quick to talk, bold and unrestrained, would also be frustrated sometimes.
Ning Wei looked at Xu Guanyu, who had her head slightly raised, a bit arrogant, and her little expression made people love her.
Liu Qiaoan said: "What should I do? Should I come down?"
Xu Guanyu spread his hands and said, "What else can we do? Don't do it!"
Liu Qiao'an leaned over, bumped Xu Guanyu's shoulder with his shoulder, and whispered: "Ayu, let's not tell your father and the others first, okay?"
Xu Guanyu turned to look at her mother and said, "This is the last time. I will never take care of her family's affairs again."
Liu Qiaoan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I remember it, this is the last time."
Mrs. Qian took over with a smile, "The last time I said it was smooth, Ayu, I think it's better for you to tell your father about them first, so that they can be prepared to deal with the aftermath of your mother-in-law later."
Xu Guanyu nodded, "I think my aunt is right."
Old Mrs. Jiang said: "Madam also accepted the madam's request for the sake of the child."
When Mrs. Liu saw Mrs. Jiang speaking for her, she looked at her gratefully and said, "Aunt Jiang is right, I only did this for the sake of that child Yu'er."
Xu Guanyu smiled and said to Mrs. Jiang: "Grandma, you don't know how annoying my aunt is. When she asks you to do things for her, she smiles all over her face.
When things are over, she has a different face again, and my mother-in-law has always been in trouble at her hands. This is a villain!"
Mentioning Liu Qiaomei, Xu Guanyu felt extremely bored.
Mrs. Qian said with a smile: "But some people can't be taught!"
Xu Guanyu looked at Liu Qiao'an and shook her head helplessly. She didn't know what was going on. Her mother, who had always been shrewd, became confused whenever she met Liu Qiaomei.
"We all live in the capital. How can a smart person like Aunt Qi not know who Liu Qiaomei is? Would Aunt Qi be willing to let Fourth Brother Jiang marry Ye Zhanyu?"
Ning Wei looked at Xu Guanyu and was extremely shocked. How old is this girl? She is so transparent! She is a spirit!
Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Jiang cast admiring glances at Xu Guanyu.
Mrs. Qian nodded slightly and said, "Qiao'an, you take this matter too casually."
Seeing that his words were recognized by Mrs. Qian, Xu Guanyu was even more proud, and continued: "Besides, there are still Jiang Shangshu and Mrs. Wu in Jiang Mansion, and the fourth brother Jiang is the most outstanding among the children of the Jiang family.
In my opinion, Aunt Qi has no control over Fourth Brother Jiang’s marriage."
Liu Qiaoan clapped her hands in frustration, "Oh, why didn't I think of that just now? Ayu, why didn't you remind me just now?"
Xu Guanyu looked at Liu Qiaoan and said helplessly: "I thought grandma would refuse, but never thought that grandma would actually agree."
Mrs. Qian shook her head and said: "Then Liu Qiaomei is your nemesis. When you meet her, your brain will not turn around."
Liu Qiao'an was about to say something when he looked up and saw Mrs. Qi coming this way. He stopped what he was going to say, got up and moved the brocade stool, "Ah Huan, come here, sit here."
Ning Wei then stood up.
Mrs. Qi was surprised at Liu Qiaoan's politeness. She took Liu Qiaoan's hand and said, "You guys also sit down."
After everyone sat down and exchanged greetings for a while, Mrs. Qi said to Mrs. Qian: "Old Madam, my mother was very kind to Zhangzhu during her lifetime, and Zhangzhu was also very dependent on her. The relationship between grandfather and grandson is very deep.
After her mother passed away, Zhangzhu felt very sad and burst into tears. No matter how much she tried to persuade her, she could not stop her.
Zhangzhu's eyes were injured when she was a child, and the doctor told her not to cry for a long time.
Zhangzhu and Ah Wei are on good terms, I would like to keep Ah Wei for a night and let Ah Wei accompany Zhangzhu, I wonder if that is possible."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qian nodded quickly and said: "Yes, of course, Ah Wei, you can stay with Zhangzhu today and give her some guidance."
Mrs. Qian fully agreed to Mrs. Qi's request and turned to give orders to Ning Wei.
Ning Wei nodded and said, "Yes, Wei'er understands."
Seeing that Mrs. Qian agreed, Mrs. Qi thanked her again and finally said: "Then you guys sit down, I will take Ah Wei away, and I will send Ah Wei back to her house tomorrow."
Mrs. Qian said: "Don't worry, Wei'er is fine anyway. They agreed to get a place together and let Wei'er stay with Zhangzhu for a few more days."
Mrs. Qi thanked her and said, "Thank you, madam, for your understanding."
When Ning Wei saw Mrs. Qi standing up, she stood up, bowed to everyone and said, "Then I'll go over first."
Mrs. Qian nodded, "Okay, let's go."
Mrs. Qi took Ning Wei out of the side hall, "Ah Wei, I will be put on the coffin for a while. After putting on the mourning clothes, a filial son and a filial daughter will cry. Please help me look at the palm beads and don't let her cry for a long time."
The two went to the mourning hall. Ning Wei saw that the filial son and daughter of the Qi family were already kneeling in front of the hall, and urged Mrs. Qi: "Auntie, go quickly."
Mrs. Qi nodded and asked Ning Wei to wait beside her.
Ning Wei nodded, "I know, don't worry, Auntie."
There were many people watching the fun standing nearby. Ning Wei looked for Jiang Xingyu among the filial sons and daughters.
Finally, I saw Jiang Xingyu kneeling in the middle of the lobby on the right side. Next to him was his cousin Qi Haining, and in front of Jiang Xingyu was Jiang Xingchang.
Ning Wei saw Jiang Xingyu raising his hands and wiping his eyes from time to time. Liu Haining turned his head and said something to Jiang Xingyu, apparently trying to persuade Jiang Xingyu.
Ning Wei's location was on the left side of the lobby. She walked behind the onlookers, walked around from behind to the right side of the lobby, and stopped at the place closest to Jiang Xingyu.
Qi Haining looked up and saw Ning Wei, nodded towards her, lowered his head and said to Jiang Xingyu: "A Wei is on the side."
Jiang Xingyu turned around and looked at Ning Wei with tearful eyes, sobbing and shouting: "Ah Wei."
Ning Wei nodded towards her, knelt down and whispered: "Let me take a look. Be good, don't cry now, listen to Zhibin."
Ning Wei patted Jiang Xingyu's shoulder gently as he spoke.
Jiang Xingyu nodded, "Okay!" He lowered his head and listened carefully.
Qi Haining looked at Jiang Xingyu and then at Ning Wei. She tried to persuade him for a long time but could not stop him.
Ning Wei said something, and Zhangzhu actually listened.
In the front, the gentleman recited a sutra, and the guests asked the old lady to move her into the coffin, and the dutiful sons and daughters in front of the hall began to dress.
Jiang Xingchang and Jiang Xingyu are the grandson and granddaughter, and they serve as the filial piety of Qixiang in the fifth month.
Dutiful sons and dutiful daughters, dressed in filial piety, wept in unison.
Thinking of Mrs. Yu's loving appearance during her lifetime, Ning Wei wiped away her tears.
After Jiang Xingyu cried for a while, Ning Wei stepped forward to help Jiang Xingyu up and whispered: "Zhangzhu, stop crying. If you cry again, you will hurt your eyes. The old lady should be sad."
Jiang Xingyu stood up with the help of Ning Wei's hand and sobbed on Ning Wei's shoulder.
Ning Wei comforted him: "Zhangzhu is good and obedient. Your eyes can't cry anymore."
Jiang Xingyu nodded slightly and said softly: "Yes, I know, I will lean on you and take it easy."
Ning Wei gently patted Jiang Xingyu's shoulder, "Okay!"
Jiang Xingyu's eyes were red and swollen, burning and painful. He rested on Ning Wei's shoulder and then stood up straight.
Mrs. Qi cried for a while and stood up with help. She turned around and saw Ning Wei holding her daughter. She was relieved that her daughter had stopped crying.
Jiang Xingchang stood up, lowered his head, straightened his filial piety clothes, walked over and said, "Zhangzhu, there are many people here and it's very noisy. Please take Ah Wei to sit in your yard."
Jiang Xingyu also wanted to talk to Ning Wei alone, sobbed and nodded, "Okay! Ah Wei, come with me."
Before they left, Jiang Xingchang walked to Ning Wei without leaving a trace, lowered his head and whispered: "A Wei, help Zhangzhu sleep."
Ning Wei nodded towards Jiang Xingchang, gave him a reassuring look, and then left with Jiang Xingyu.
This scene fell into the eyes of Liu Qiaomei and Ye Zhanyu who were not far away.
Ye Zhanyu glared at Ning Wei angrily, and said in a low voice to Liu Qiaomei: "Mom, what should I do? Ning Wei, this charming girl, came to seduce Fourth Master Jiang.
When we were talking in the side hall, she was listening nearby. She must have been moved and wanted to strike first."
Liu Qiaomei glanced at Ning Wei viciously and said, "Don't be impatient, let's wait for Liu Qiaoan's reply first."
Ye Zhanyu looked at the backs of Ning Wei and Jiang Xingyu, "Auntie is good to the Ning brothers and sisters. She brought them to Baoping Lane to live for a long time. If aunt knew that Ning Wei was fond of Jiang Silang, she would definitely help her rather than help us.
"
Liu Qiaomei smiled disdainfully and said, "Don't worry, Yu'er. Ning Wei is a widowed girl and was kicked out of the house by her own father. What can I argue with you about? The marriage is a good marriage between two surnames. From the perspective of the Jiang family,
Not as good as Ning Wei."
After hearing what his mother said, Ye Zhanyu felt a lot more relieved. At the same time, he felt a grudge against Ning Wei.
Jiang Xingyu took Ning Wei to the backyard of Qi Mansion and said as they walked: "Grandpa, grandma treated us very well. The yard before my mother-in-law got married was always reserved for my mother-in-law. Not only that, my eldest brother, fourth brother and
I have my own courtyard in Qi Mansion. Even my father has his own study room in Qi Mansion."
It is very rare for a mother's family to prepare a yard for her uncle.
Ning Wei was quite surprised and nodded: "This is extremely rare."
Jiang Xingyu nodded proudly, "It is indeed rare to have a son-in-law of half a son, and his grandfather and grandmother truly treat him as their son.
Qi Mansion is only two streets away from Jiang Mansion. Dad sometimes came over to chat with his uncle. It was a little late, so he sent someone back to report and rested at Qi Mansion.
Returning to Qi Mansion is like returning to your own home."
Ning Wei was very envious of the friendship and harmony of Jiang Mansion and Qi Mansion, "Zhangzhu, you are so lucky to be born in such a family."
Jiang Xingyu nodded, "Yes, I am indeed very happy and cherish it."
