Yun Qiao has already talked about the backgrounds of everyone in the Xi family and knows them by heart.
The second master of the Xi family is the brother of the governor and the son of the old lady.
He serves as the chief of the Transportation Bureau and has a prominent status; the Xi family has been rich and powerful for generations. The wife of the second master must also be from a famous family.
The second wife's natal family is in Nanjing, and her brothers are all high-ranking officials in the northern government. Her natal family produced six Jinshi scholars and one number one scholar in the Qing Dynasty. The scholarly family has been passed down for nearly two hundred years. It is a wealthy family like the Xi family.
Yun Qiao's background is unknown and her status is low. Her stepfather, Mr. Xi, is a concubine. The second wife doesn't even bother to look at her.
Suddenly she was asked to act as a matchmaker for her, and the matchmaker was her natal nephew, which was strange.
"...Yun Qiao, are you willing?" The second wife took Yun Qiao's hand and asked.
Du Xiaoqin had always been very fond of his second sister-in-law. Hearing this, he was filled with joy and was extremely attentive: "Of course she is willing."
She wished she could send Yun Qiao there in person.
The old lady interrupted: "Let's talk about it later, let's eat first."
After dinner, a stage was set up in the Xijia Flower Hall. This time, a famous troupe was invited, and two of the famous actors came on stage to perform for the old lady in person.
Du Xiaoqin pulled Yun Qiao back.
She explained the matter to Yun Qiao in detail, with a warm attitude, hoping that Yun Qiao would agree.
Yun Qiao was sitting on the sofa, and the light from the chandelier in the living room fell on her pearl headdress. The pearly white light made her hair black and her cheeks like jade.
Her demeanor is also like jade, steady and quiet, calm and composed.
"Mom, do you want me to get married so much?" she asked Du Xiaoqin. The light covered her with a layer of light powder, and her eyebrows became more charming, with a secretly evil aura.
Yun Qiao is extremely beautiful. No matter where she sits or who she compares with, she stands out.
"When I was your age, my child was already two years old." Du Xiaoqin said, "Nowadays, which girl of eighteen or nineteen years old doesn't want to marry her?"
Yun Qiao blinked.
She still didn't want to have a quarrel with Du Xiaoqin now and be kicked out by her, so she decided to adapt to the situation: "Then I'll listen to my mother."
Whether it will work or not remains to be seen.
In addition to tying up Du Xiaoqin, there are many things Yun Qiao can do.
Not everyone can plot against her.
Du Xiaoqin was very excited and told Fourth Master Xi about this.
When Fourth Master Xi heard this, he felt something was wrong: "Second sister-in-law's mother's family has a high family background, and she has always been proud. How could she marry Yun Qiao to her nephew?"
Even if her nephew is a concubine, he can still choose a better woman than Yun Qiao.
After all, Yun Qiao has no background and no property, so what do you want from her?
Beautiful?
Du Xiaoqin didn't care what other people wanted, but marrying Yun Qiao was all that mattered.
Fourth Master Xi asked again: "Which nephew is the second sister-in-law's mother's family?"
The next day, the maid next to the second wife came over and asked Du Xiaoqin to talk to her.
Du Xiaoqin came back at noon and was very excited: "It turns out he is the second sister-in-law's eldest nephew."
Fourth Master Xi's heart skipped a beat: "Second sister-in-law's eldest nephew is getting married. Why, she wants Yun Qiao to be her nephew's concubine?"
"What concubine is not a concubine? Where are there any concubines now?" Du Xiaoqin was dissatisfied, "The second sister-in-law said that her nephew has now arrived in Yancheng and will find a job in the government after the Chinese New Year.
From now on, when my nephew is in Yancheng and the wives in Nanjing, he will not bring him over, and he will have to make a new home here."
Fourth Master Xi was horrified: "How many wives does he have?"
"Three." Du Xiaoqin said.
In other words, the second wife's nephew already has a wife and two concubines.
Fourth Master Xi disagreed: "Yun Qiao is your daughter after all. If you send her out to be a concubine, how will others see us?"
Du Xiaoqin clicked her tongue: "You are so stupid..."
At this time, Xi Wenlan came downstairs.
She asked her parents what they were talking about, and when she learned that this was what they were talking about, Xi Wenlan pondered for a moment and said to her father: "Dad, this is also a good thing. Yun Qiao has no background after all, so she may not be able to marry a powerful man in the future.
When we talked about this yesterday, Yun Qiao didn't object, so she might not be unhappy in her heart. Dad, when you consider your own reputation, you should also consider Yun Qiao's future."
Du Xiaoqin immediately said: "Wen Lan is still transparent. We can't block Yun Qiao's good luck."
