Rong Piaozai looked at his daughter's features carefully, and saw that her face was no longer anxious and pleading, but instead calm and calm, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "I told you that you are not that stupid."
Chu Yunli didn't answer this, and drank the soup slowly.
Seeing his daughter's silence, Rong Piao thought she was still having trouble, "Yue He, tomorrow the manager of Xiulou will send you the materials for spring clothes. I will help you choose a good one by then. What flowers do you want to embroider?"
"Everything is fine." Chu Yunli said without moving her eyebrows, "It's up to you, mother."
Rong Piao liked hearing this the most, and stroked her hair sympathetically, "She is indeed my mother's considerate little cotton-padded jacket. Take a nap after eating, you haven't slept well these days."
After saying that, he left briskly.
Xiaolian was shocked when she heard that she said she would not marry, but she did not dare to show it in front of Rong Piao. As soon as the person left, Xiaolian ran over and closed the door, and asked in surprise, "Girl,
If you don't marry, what will Master Hu do?"
"Don't mention him in front of me from now on." Chu Yunli picked up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, "Don't forget whose girl you are!"
These words were quite serious. Xiaolian immediately gathered her thoughts and said, "Yes."
Chu Yunli lay on the bed, feeling sleepy. She fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already morning.
Xiaolian tiptoed through the door and saw that Chu Yunli had opened her eyes on the bed. She was relieved and said, "Girl, if you don't wake up, it will be too late to say hello."
Merchants don't pay much attention to rules, but the Yuan family is different. They have been rich for several generations, have a deep social background, and strict rules. Even though Liu Yuehe is just a dragster, he still goes to Ronghe Garden every day to pay respects to the old lady.
Speaking of being an old lady, Grandma Yuan is only less than 60 this year, and her 60th birthday will be next month.
It was still early in the sky at this time, and it was winter again. Standing outside, she felt cold all over. Chu Yunli wrapped her cloak tightly and walked faster. When she arrived at Ronghe Garden, there was already a little girl's brisk laughter inside, occasionally mixed with
The old lady laughed happily.
Yuan Lizong was the eldest son. Yuan's father died of illness two years ago, so he took over the family business. The old lady gave birth to a son and a daughter, but Yuan Lizong had two younger brothers and two younger sisters, both of whom were concubines.
Liu Yuehe's two cheap aunts have already married, and there are two cheap uncles and their families at home, so the Yuan family is quite large. The old lady has been the mistress of the Yuan family for decades, and now she still has no control over the family.
In her hands, she has always said the right thing. The younger members of the family will come to please the old lady unconsciously, and greet her every day, which is the busiest time in Ronghe Garden.
Chu Yunli walked in casually, and the atmosphere in the room was stagnant. The old lady glanced at it and then looked away.
Chu Yunli paid his respects to himself and said, "Greetings to my grandmother."
The old lady agreed with a hum.
On the other hand, the young girl next to her who was extremely delicate from head to toe smiled and said, "Sister Yue He, I heard that you were sick two days ago. That's why you didn't come to say hello. Are you feeling well today? If not, you'd better leave.
Stay away, so as not to let my great-aunt get sick..."
Liu Yuehe went on a hunger strike and knelt down to beg. Rongpiao didn't say a word to the outside world, only that her daughter was sick. After all, it was not a glorious thing to say, "She's fine now. Thank you cousin for caring about her."
Yes, the one whom the old lady likes the most at first glance is not the daughter of the Yuan family, but Zhang Huixing, the daughter of the old lady's niece, Gu.
Mrs. Gu and her daughter have been living in the Yuan family for two years, and have no intention of leaving. Yuan Lizong has no daughter, and the old lady has no direct granddaughter. However, she holds Zhang Huijing in her heart because of the clothes she is wearing.
The jewelry is much more expensive than the other two girls in the room.
Of course, the Yuan family was rich, and the two girls and Liu Yuehe were not treated badly. They were well-fed and well-fed, but if they really cared about it, they just couldn't get what they wanted in terms of color and style.
"Huixun, don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Gu scolded, "Yue He is fine. He doesn't look like he is sick."
Zhang Huizhen covered her mouth with a surprised look on her face, "So, sister Yue He is saying she's sick and doesn't want to come to pay her respects?"
Chu Yunli walked to the side and sat down, "It doesn't matter what my cousin says, as long as you are happy." She pushed back without being soft or hard.
Zhang Huizhen felt something was wrong and frowned slightly, "What's wrong with sister Yue He?" In the past, they were just like buns. She could rub them and flatten them, but she didn't have any temper at all.
"I guess you were frightened by your great-aunt saying that she wanted to marry her." Mrs. Gu answered, with a smile on her face and eyes, and looked at Chu Yunli, "Yue He, if you have a sweetheart, hurry up
If you tell me, your grandmother will be lenient and she will make you happy. If you don't tell her, it will not be good if the marriage is settled and things end up like your mother did..."
The old lady was very satisfied with her son, but the only thing she disobeyed was the marriage. She even disobeyed her more than once or twice for the sake of Rong and her daughter. Originally, she was dispensable to Liu Yuehe, and the Yuan family was not that bad, but as long as she thought about it, she was very satisfied with her son.
Mr. Rong, it is inevitable that he will feel a little disgusted.
Based on the idea of ​​​​out of sight and out of mind, the old lady hummed and agreed, "If you have a sweetheart, let's find someone to make peace with you."
Chu Yunli stood up and said, "No."
She noticed that after she finished speaking, the two cheap aunts and cheap sisters next to her had normal expressions. Mrs. Gu was a little surprised, and even Zhang Huizhen also raised his eyes and looked over.
It seemed that they knew a little about Liu Yuehe's secret dealings with Hu Yibin, and even knew that Liu Yuehe would beg the old lady for him. Therefore, when she said no, the two of them felt strange.
In her previous life, Liu Yuehe did marry into the Hu family as she wished, but it was not all her fault, but Hu Yibin also spent a lot of effort to ask to marry her, which caused a huge uproar.
Gu didn't believe it, "Really?"
Chu Yunli raised his eyes, "I don't leave the house every day, so who can I know?"
Mrs. Gu: "..."
She forced a smile and said, "That's right. There are many young men in the Gu family. If you are willing, I can help you match them!"
Chu Yunli lowered her eyes, "My parents make the final decision on marriage matters, so my cousin asked me what I should do?"
"What is your attitude?" The old lady was dissatisfied. "Your cousin asked you kindly, if it weren't for your relationship with the Yuan family, where would you have met the Gu family?"
"Yes." Chu Yunli was blessed again, "The Yuan family has been kind to me. I am not a ungrateful person, and I have kept it in my heart. Grandma, don't worry."
Looking at the girl in front of her with a low eyebrow, the old lady just felt her heart congested. She waved her hand and said, "Aren't you sick? Go back and rest early."
After leaving Ronghe Garden, Xiaolian couldn't help but said, "Girl, why didn't you tell me about such a good opportunity just now?"
"What did you say?" Chu Yunli glanced at her, "Didn't you listen to what my grandmother said? I am not worthy of the Hu family, let alone her direct grandson."
Even if Mrs. Hu takes Hu Yibin back to her parents' home, he will still be the eldest grandson of the Yuan family.
Xiaolian was about to cry, "Then what should you do?"
Chu Yunli glanced at her and scolded, "Don't cry. People who don't know better think I'm bullying you."
Xiaolian is the maid who grew up with her, brought from the Liu family. She is just a girl who was sold by her parents in the countryside, and she does not have enough experience. If it were Mrs. Yuan, she might not be able to be a cleaning girl.
.
When Liu Yuehe arrived at Yuan's house, she didn't know anyone except her mother. What's more, Rong Piao saw her for less than an hour every day. She only had Xiaolian by her side. Even if the old lady offered to give her a girl, she refused.
.
To put it bluntly, the old lady only thought of her occasionally, and when she saw that she didn't want it, she didn't bother to persuade her.
"I won't cry." Xiaolian hurriedly wiped her face, "Girl, you are suffering too much." As she said this, tears fell again.
It's just that her life was not very good. Compared with Xiaolian who was sold by her biological parents, Liu Yuehe's life was actually not that difficult.
After returning to the room, Chu Yunli had breakfast and went back to catch up on her sleep. When she woke up, Xiaolian brought lunch in and handed over a letter with a wink.
Seeing the letter, Chu Yunli raised her hand, picked it up and tore it open. The beautiful handwriting was full of affection. At the end of the letter, she also said: I will work hard for it. If my mother doesn't agree, I will kneel down until she agrees.
So far, she loves me and will definitely compromise. Yuehe, wait for me!
Xiaolian was dumbfounded. When the girl got the letter before, she would kick her out every time and read it by herself in the room. She was so shy. When did she become...so bold?
Chu Yunli stood up and sat in front of the desk, imitating Liu Yuehe's handwriting and started writing. The main idea was that the two of them were not born at the right time, and there were too many grievances between the elders. After listening to her mother's words, she felt that Mr. Hu would not like it.
Her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hu, has suffered too much for him. If he were not a beast, he should find another good match, and he should never do such a thing as begging!
After finishing writing, he folded it and handed it to Xiaolian, "Send it back!"
Xiaolian only knew a few words and couldn't understand the meaning, so she went out happily.
In the afternoon, Zhang Huizhen came.
She had four maids, and she took two with her. When she entered the door, she saw Chu Yunli leaning on the soft couch alone, half asleep, and said with a smile, "You are quite comfortable."
Chu Yunli opened her eyes, "You didn't knock on the door?"
Zhang Huizhen: "..."
"We are sisters, what door should we knock on?"
Chu Yunli stopped talking. Anyway, she had already planned to ask Mr. Rong for two girls again. No one would come in casually in the future.
Zhang Huizhen approached her and said, "I saw that you were in a bad mood, so I came to talk to you. I said that on purpose this morning, why didn't you just ask your aunt for help?"
"What are you begging for?" Chu Yunli played with her fingertips, "I am not the daughter of the Yuan family. I have good food and housing here, and asking for more is too ignorant."
