The old lady complained secretly. She secretly thought that marrying the Yongcheng Houfu was a good choice.
The Dong family belongs to the Zhongding family. Sister Xi was able to find such a good marriage even though His Highness the Prince of Qin had annulled her marriage. It was a blessing she had cultivated in her previous life.
However, my son repeatedly told me that if anyone comes to propose marriage to Sister Xi, he must refuse. He also said that he would keep Sister Xi for another two years.
She asked why, but her son was unwilling to say more, only saying that it was a last resort.
"Sister Xi has something to do today, so she won't have time to meet guests." The old lady gritted her teeth and simply blocked her escape: "Sister Xi's marriage is really not urgent, so your trip today will be in vain.
"
The matchmaker did not expect such a result. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something. At this time, the old lady stood up and said: "Aunt Ci, you go and see off the guests."
The matchmaker still didn't understand anything at this time.
The Liu family clearly did not want to marry the Dong family.
There are many noble girls who want to marry into the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, so why force a down-and-out noble girl who is unwilling to marry into the Hou Mansion?
The matchmaker also felt angry at this time, feeling that the Liu family did not know what was good and what was bad.
No matter how beautiful Miss Gu is, isn't she already sixteen? She is not satisfied with meeting a good family like Yongcheng Houfu. Could it be that she wants to marry an imperial relative?
But Gu Xiyan has been divorced from the marriage by His Highness the King of Qin and has become a joke in the capital.
Before coming to Wanqinghou Mansion, the matchmaker thought that this matchmaking would be successful, but she didn't know that it would be like this. She was angry.
She didn't want to leave like this, so she said without giving up: "Old madam, can you let Miss Gu come out and see me?"
"Sister Xi, I don't have time to see you today, you should go back." The old lady was afraid that the matchmaker would meet Gu Xiyan, so she refused.
Just because Shu Ming had specifically explained that Sister Xi could not be mistakenly thought that the Liu family was deliberately disrupting her marriage, let alone the child's heart. He also said that delaying Sister Xi's marriage was for Sister Xi's good.
Even hearing this, she found it unbelievable. Sister Ruo Xi didn't know how she would feel if she knew that she rejected this good marriage from the Dong family.
The matchmaker suddenly thought: "Did you refuse this good marriage on purpose because you didn't propose a good marriage to Miss Gu?!"
The old lady's face changed slightly: "Don't lie to me! Do you think that Yongcheng Houfu is Sister Xi's only choice? There are many good men in the world, and there is no less good man than Mr. Dong."
When the matchmaker heard this, he turned blue with anger, "I want to see what kind of good family Miss Gu can marry in the future!"
How unreasonable! Gu Xiyan thought she could marry any man she wanted? She didn’t even look at how old she was. In two years, it would be hard to find even a young man of marriageable age, let alone a young man with excellent conditions.
hansome?
Dong Yong was staying at the Marquis Mansion today. He was waiting anxiously in the main hall, finally waiting for the matchmaker. When he saw the matchmaker's gloomy face, his heart dropped.
The matchmaker told what happened in Wanqinghou Mansion, and finally said: "What kind of noble girl does a young and talented man like Lang Jun want? Why should he marry someone who has such high ambitions?"
Dong Yong looked ahead blankly: "Could it be that the Liu family is deliberately trying to embarrass Miss Gu? Miss Gu is lonely in the Liu family, with no one to support her, so even a suitable marriage was rejected by the Liu family."
He felt that the Liu family could really do such an immoral thing.
The matchmaker didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just said: "Old Madam Liu said that she would keep Miss Gu for two more years, and also said that Miss Gu's marriage is not urgent. I don't know whether it is true or not."
In any case, the Dong family's request for marriage was rejected.
Dong Yong felt heavy and said feebly: "Thank you for making this trip."
Xiaohu understood, stepped forward, gave the matchmaker a small bag of broken silver, and dismissed the matchmaker.
In Marquis Wanqing's Mansion, the news of the old lady's refusal to advance by Marquis Yongcheng's Mansion had already spread, and Gu Xiyan also received the news.
"Why did the old lady refuse this marriage?" Chunhua was puzzled.
Gu Xiyan felt that it was expected. Cigu's previous attitude proved that she was not overthinking it.
"Didn't we agree to let the girl make the decision on her own marriage? Why did the old lady change her attitude again?" Qiushi also found it puzzling.
Gu Xiyan laughed: "Let's take a look again."
"Girl, do you want to go to Zaohui Hall and ask? I feel confident." Qiuzhen gave an idea from the side.
Gu Xiyan felt that she should ask. At least she wanted to know what the old lady was thinking. If the old lady had other plans or there was a hidden secret, she had to make plans.
In Zaohui Hall, the arrival of Gu Xiyan did not surprise the old lady.
She knew that this matter could not be hidden from Gu Xiyan, so she had already made preparations.
As soon as Gu Xiyan arrived, she saw the old lady enthusiastically pulling her to sit down beside her.
"Sister Xi, you came just in time. Grandma just has something to discuss with you." The old lady smiled with a smile on her face.
Gu Xiyan felt that the old lady's smile was not fake, but seemed overly enthusiastic.
The old lady has been in charge of the family for such a long time, she has a certain dignity about her, and she has always been a strong person. The word "enthusiasm" cannot be associated with the old lady.
"If you have any questions, grandma, just tell her." Gu Xiyan sat obediently next to the old lady.
The old lady grabbed her soft, boneless hands, secretly thinking that these hands were born well and seemed to have a good life.
"The person who came to propose marriage today is Yongcheng Houfu. My grandmother didn't agree at that time because she thought Xu San would be more suitable for you. Xu San is well-known in the capital. He is already a sixth-rank official at a young age. If there is an opportunity to train in the future,
He will definitely be promoted very quickly. In terms of character and future, grandma thinks that Xu San has more potential than Dong Er. Grandma hesitated, but in the end she refused cruelly, just because she wanted Sister Xi to marry someone.
The most suitable family, Sister Xi, won't you blame grandma for being troublesome?" The old lady looked amiable and used the words she had prepared early in the morning.
At this time, let's use Xu San as the raft first, and then we can go through this level. The most important thing is not to let Sister Xi feel resentful towards the Liu family. This is what the old lady wants at the moment.
"Grandma means well, how can Xiyan blame her? It's just that Xiyan doesn't need to marry into a particularly good family. After all, Xiyan herself is not very outstanding. It seems that Xiyan is not worthy of Mr. Dong, so who will get Xiyan?
Yan Lai is picky?" Gu Xiyan smiled back.
The old lady held Gu Xiyan's cattails tightly and scolded: "How can anyone be so presumptuous as you? You are an outstanding girl, and you deserve the best son. You are still young, so we can slowly choose a happy relationship.
We are not in a hurry about our marriage."
"Xiyan, listen to grandma." Gu Xiyan smiled lightly.
After that, she sat for a while before leaving Zaohui Hall.
As soon as she left, the old lady asked Cigu: "Do you think Sister Xi believed it?"
"After all, the old lady is doing it for the eldest girl's benefit. The eldest girl will know the old lady's intentions in the future." Ci Gu hurriedly comforted the old lady.
