When Huo Xi arrived in Huai'an, she was not in a hurry. Instead, she found an inn by the pier and stayed there, checking out the shop first.
Shopkeeper Niu was as attentive to her arrival as if he were his own mother.
These days have tortured him so much, with ups and downs, and ups and downs of mood. If his shop had a bad relationship with the Gong family, he would have to find some hard relations. These days, he has been busy, entertaining guests and giving gifts, and there is no moment of peace.
resting.
Huo Xi expressed satisfaction with his work, encouraged him, gave him some rewards, and gave his family some gifts. Everyone was taken care of.
Shopkeeper Niu was very grateful. It was one thing for him to be willing to work hard, but it was another thing for his employer to see his hard work and be reused.
"My boss, the Gong family's attitude towards us is unclear now. We can't just point at the Gong family. We need to find a few more legs."
Like this time, being pinched by the Gong family, unable to get goods in, unable to get goods out, and unable to recover the payment, it felt so damn uncomfortable.
The owner of the cow now wants to hug a few more thighs. If the flowers don't bloom here, he just hopes that there will be flowers in another place.
Huo Xi nodded, "Just go ahead and socialize. All the money needed will be recorded in the account. Any reasonable expenses will be supported by the company."
"Yes." The boss is generous, and the people working underneath are naturally willing to put in more effort.
Huo Xi stayed at the dock for two days, checking on the business of the shop, and then entered Huai'an City. While preparing to deliver greetings to the Gong family, she stayed at an inn in the city and inquired about the Gong family's news in the city.
.
The information she had heard about the Gong family before was not complete. She had never thought of getting married to the Gong family before, and she did not care about the palace's personnel. What was the temperament of the family leader, what kind of people Gong Ziyi's parents were, and who was in the Gong family in the city.
What kind of reputation is this? I don’t know all of it, but now is the time to learn more about it.
When Huo Xi arrived in Huai'an, Gong Ziyi also learned that his mother had told him about the marriage of Pingjiang Bo Chen's family.
It exploded on the spot.
"Why did the mother arrange a marriage for her son without asking her what he wanted?"
Mr. He had known that his son had this attitude, and was not afraid that he would find out.
"How many people want to get married in the Pingjiang uncle's house, and they line up with generous gifts, but they can't even see Mrs. Uncle. If your aunt and her hadn't been able to get married, would it be your turn?"
"My son is not rare. Didn't mother say that she wanted to ask her what she wanted? Why did she decide in such a hurry? Where did she put her son?" Gong Ziyi looked at He, as if he knew her for the first time.
Mr. He was dissatisfied with his attitude: "The marriage of children is the order of parents and the matchmaker. I was willing to ask you before because I saw that you were obedient and sensible, but you ignored the ladies of the famous family and wanted to marry a member of a small family.
Girl, how can I let you go any longer?"
"Mom, although her family is small, my son is marrying a wife, not the other party."
"Of course, marriage between two surnames depends on family background. Do you think nobles will bow their heads and marry common people? Will good people marry low-class craftsmen?"
Gong Ziyi closed his eyes. He felt that he could no longer explain to his mother, so he tried to reason: "She can do more work than ordinary women from wealthy families. Didn't my grandfather say that our clan wife is only interested in ability, so she married a concubine?
, how to take charge of Zhongfu and preside over sect affairs?"
"How do you know that the daughter of the Chen family is not good? Besides, your mother and I are in good health and will have no problem living for another few decades. I can teach her every step of the way. If she doesn't know how to do it, I will personally find a good grandson for my grandson in the future.
Daughter-in-law, no matter what happens, your sister-in-law will take care of it, so you don’t have to worry about this."
As long as they can climb into the Chen family, it will be fine if the affairs of the family fall smoothly into their hands.
Gong Ziyi felt waves of powerlessness.
He was the one who got married, but he couldn't even take the initiative at all. The wife of the clan looked at her character and ability, and now she had to choose the family of the clan's wife first. Character and ability were not considered.
"In that case, let Ziyan marry him back, and you can do whatever you want." He threw up his sleeves and walked away.
He was so angry that he immediately ordered people to guard every place in the house and not let him go out.
Gong Ziyi lay down directly.
You should eat and drink when you should, but if you want him to cooperate in seeing each other, he won't cooperate in discussing marriage or anything else.
The He family had nothing to do with him, so they could only shirk the Tang family because they had many family affairs and their son was shy, so the mistresses of the two families directly exchanged invitations and settled the marriage between Gong Ziyi and Chen Jingci, the second daughter of the Chen family.
When Gong Fang found out, he just sighed and said that it was up to him and his wife to make the decision, and then he ignored it.
When Huo Xi was visiting Huai'an City, Ta Yue and Ma Ma also split up into two groups to inquire about the Gong family's news in the city.
In just one day, the news of the marriage between the eldest grandson of the Gong family and the Chen family of Pingjiang Bo reached Huo Xi's ears.
The main reason is that the Gong family doesn't want to hide it. Being able to ride on Ping Jiangbo's big ship and make the Gong family even more powerful is a time worthy of showing off and publicizing it widely. The He family doesn't want to make any mistakes, and even more publicizes this marriage.
Everybody knows.
In order to express her satisfaction with the marriage, Mr. He also gave the most precious jewelry from his dowry to his future daughter-in-law to express her fancy.
Mother Ma and Ta Yue were both good at inquiring about information. They came back with two maids to inquire about a lot of information. When they saw Huo Xi's strange silence, they were both worried.
"Girl, are you okay?" Vanilla and Xia He almost cried when Huo Xi didn't say a word. The girl must be feeling very uncomfortable.
Huo Xi smiled at them and shook his head.
She came late.
Unexpectedly, the Gong family avoided her so much and did not decide on Gong Ziyi's marriage for more than ten or twenty years. In this short period of time, they decided to marry him.
Huo Xi experienced the frustration that her identity brought her for the first time.
"Mommy, is the other party discussing marriage or has already made a marriage proposal?"
Mother Ma replied: "The Geng Tie has been issued."
Huo Xi clenched his fists.
Mother Ma looked at her very worriedly and sighed: "Pingjiang Bojian is in the emperor's heart and he is valued by the emperor. He has been entrusted to him to take charge of the water affairs of the seven provinces. He has great trust in him. Not many people can reach him.
Family. Now the Gong family has made an engagement with the Chen family...Miss, this matter is finalized and cannot be changed."
Even if the girl revealed her identity again, it would be too late. The Gong family would not be willing to offend Uncle Ping Jiang because of the girl's hidden identity.
The girl and the young master of the Gong family are not destined to be together.
Huo Xi locked herself in the room and stayed there for a day, feeling powerless.
Although her fate was unfavorable when she was young, she was favored by God. Although she had a hard time along the way, everything she did went smoothly, but this was the only thing she failed to achieve.
She didn't expect that status and family status were so important. No matter how much money she earned and how many skills she learned, she would still be looked down upon in front of her family status.
Mother Ma, Xiang Xiang and others stayed up all night and guarded the room next door. When they heard something moving in the room next door the next day, they hurried over to take care of them.
"Mommy, have you received any reply to the greeting card you sent to the Gong family?"
"Yes, girl, a boy sent it here this morning."
Huo Xi nodded: "Okay, let's get ready. Let's go visit Gong's family."
"Girl?" Young Master Gong is already engaged to someone, so why does the girl come to visit? Vanilla doesn't want to come to make people laugh.
"It's okay, go get ready.
Happy National Day everyone, friends who go out, please pay attention to protection. I have received your strong support last month, thank you very much. If I have time during the holidays, I will update more. But the update time may not be certain, so I guarantee you two
