"That's why the old woman came here," the matchmaker said, sitting upright. "It's a good deal, but it's a little bit unsatisfactory, so Mrs. Hou asked the old woman to come and ask the madam what she meant."
The matchmaker's speech originally left seven points and said three points, saying that it was just a little bit unsatisfactory, which shows that the sum total is not very good.
"Oh~? It doesn't matter, sister, just tell me." Mrs. Meng frowned and said, she didn't expect that even though Master Meng was dealt with, the horoscope became a problem. She wanted to hear what was going on.
"Madam, you know that the princess is blessed with wealth and honor. There is no doubt about it. The fortune teller said that the princess is too wealthy and her horoscopes are better than those of the second young master. Madam Hou asked the old lady to tell this matter to
Take a breath, if you don't want to, she will have the second young master's horoscopes sent back."
The matchmaker told me the result of the horoscope, but she still kept it secret.
Mrs. Meng couldn't help but become nervous as she listened. If a woman's horoscope is stronger than a man's, she will dominate the man for the rest of her life. As her own mother, she is extremely unwilling for this kind of thing to happen. Moreover, if her horoscope is too hard, Kefu Kezi's
There is still something going on. What's going on? It's all right, but the horoscopes don't match. Isn't this more painful than digging her heart out?
Seeing Mrs. Meng's hesitation, the matchmaker then said, "Madam, you don't know. As soon as the old lady went to Mr. Hou's house, there were also matchmakers from several wealthy families who came to propose marriage. Mrs. Hou couldn't handle it, so she just called the old lady over, thinking
I am very satisfied with the second young master, and I am not an old woman who talks too much. Although this horoscope is a bit tough, not everyone has the fate of a prosperous husband and a prosperous son."
The words "wangfuwangzi" made Mrs. Meng suddenly energetic. "What do you mean, elder sister, the princess is the order of Wangfuwangzi?"
"No," the matchmaker said grandly, but it was no wonder for her. It was an extremely honorable thing to propose marriage to the princess. If we could bring this couple together, they would have nothing to worry about for the rest of their lives. Look,
There are so many wealthy families in the Meng Mansion. Looking at the Hou Mansion, they are even more aristocratic.
However, after all, Mrs. Meng was proposing marriage for her biological son and could not be careless. Moreover, she was not satisfied with the marriage between Meng Tianqi and Xu Ruoshui before. She had to take a closer look this time. However, she did not dare to directly say that she had problems with that horoscope.
Then he said, "Sister, please sit down for a while and drink some water before we talk."
Of course the matchmaker was not in a hurry, she smiled and said yes repeatedly.
"Late Qiu," Mrs. Meng called, "ask Baoju to fetch the box from my dressing table."
Xu Ruoshui didn't know what his intention was, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He left the Nuan Pavilion and told Bao Ju what Mrs. Meng had told her. Bao Ju naturally knew that silver was stored inside and trotted over.
Although it was autumn, the sun was still quite hot. Wang Mengjiao was already sweating profusely as she knelt on the ground, and she was a little swaying, but she still held on and did not fall down. The most interesting thing was Fang Liying, who was condemned by Mrs. Meng.
After leaving the Nuan Pavilion, he looked at Wang Mengjiao from the side, and she looked confused.
"Sister-in-law, who was that person just now?" Fang Liying pulled Xu Ruoshui and asked.
When Wang Mengjiao heard this, she raised her head. She felt a little unsure, but she didn't dare to confirm whether this person was a matchmaker.
Xu Ruoshui glanced at Wang Mengjiao's expression from the corner of her eye and guessed that she must also want to know. Since this was the case, why not give the two of them some air and let Meng Tianqi be so anxious.
"Let's not hide it from my aunt, that person is the matchmaker invited by the Marquis Mansion, and she said she is here to propose marriage."
"Who do you want to marry?" Fang Liying asked doubtfully.
"Then I don't know," Xu Ruoshui expressed helplessness. Compared to Wang Mengjiao, Fang Liying was much simpler. But at this time, Wang Mengjiao fainted. It seemed that she couldn't bear the blow.
"Oh, Aunt Wang, what's wrong with you?" Xu Ruoshui quickly helped Wang Mengjiao up. Her lips were tightly closed and there was no breath. Xu Ruoshui immediately pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed her in the head. She
After she woke up, Xu Ruoshui really wanted to pierce the hairpin into her throat and kill her instantly, but when she thought of Meng Tianqi and Mrs. Meng still living so proudly, she felt unwilling to do so.
Wang Mengjiao woke up but didn't speak. There was a trace of hatred in her eyes, which was unpredictable. Meng Tianqi, you actually want to marry the princess, so you agreed to my thing. Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
"What's wrong, late autumn?" Mrs. Meng heard Xu Ruoshui's voice.
Xu Ruoshui asked Wang Mengjiao to lean against the pillar and said, "You lean on her first, and I'll go talk to Madam."
Wang Mengjiao nodded dully. Compared to Fang Liying's gloating, she felt numb with pain at this moment. The man she finally got must be snatched away by other women. It's impossible! She can even give up her cousin. What kind of princess?
She wasn't afraid at all.
Xu Ruoshui entered the room and said a few words in Mrs. Meng's ear. After hearing this, Mrs. Meng said, "Let her go back first. Next time, remember your duty as a human being and don't have wishful thinking."
Xu Ruoshui agreed and told Wang Mengjiao what Mrs. Meng said word for word. After hearing this, she felt nothing strange and went back without tears in her eyes.
When Baoju came back, she had a black lacquer box in her hand. Xu Ruoshui took it in. Mrs. Meng took out two huge silver ingots. It looked like one ingot was worth fifty taels. She pushed the silver in front of the matchmaker.
, said, "Sister, please take this wine money first."
"Mrs. Meng, what do you mean by this?" The matchmaker was a human being, so why couldn't he see Mrs. Meng's hesitation and asked with the money.
"Sister, don't tell me you've seen me before you go back. Just look at me like this and you'll know that I'm not feeling well and haven't seen any guests." Mrs. Meng said in a meaningful way.
The matchmaker also knew what to say for the sake of the money, so of course she wouldn't refuse.
After sending the matchmaker away, Mrs. Meng fell into deep thought. She even condemned Xu Ruoshui, thinking she was a little undecided about the marriage.
Xu Ruoshui left the Nuan Pavilion and did not go to Meng Tianbo. Instead, she wanted to visit Wang Mengjiao and ask if the coral lotus gold hairpin in Meng Tianqi's hand yesterday was given away by her herself.
In Wang Mengjiao's yard, the maids all stood far away, with trembling expressions. When Bi'er saw Xu Ruoshui, she was like seeing a savior, "My eldest mistress, please come and persuade our aunt. I don't know what to do."
Yes, as soon as you enter the house..."
"Wow~~" There was a sound in the room, which scared Bi'er so much that she didn't dare to say any more.
"I'll go in and have a look," Xu Ruoshui said soothingly. Only after she died did she know the two appearances of Wang Mengjiao in front of her and in the back. Now that she goes in, she doesn't know if she will see her other face.
