Xu Gucheng didn't expect that the Zhang family would suddenly ask about Xu Qian's relatives, and replied calmly without hesitation: "I have seen a few before, and there is no suitable candidate for the time being, my son has always known that he will go to the capital in the future, and he has not carefully screened it, and it is not too late to look for it when he goes to Bianjing." ”

He did work very hard to find the heirs of his colleagues for Xu Qian in the past, but he was not satisfied, so he thought about going to Bianjing to pick a better boy for her.

Unexpectedly, she found out that Xu Qian had done so many small actions in the past, and a few days ago she colluded with people outside the house to frame Liuniang. Her various behaviors made him very cold, and now he didn't have much heart to find a good family for her, and he was going to go to Bianjing to see her watch Xiàn and then make a decision.

"What do you think of Ziye?" asked Zhang tentatively with a smile on his face.

Ziye is Zhang Xian's character, he has reached the crown, and the elders use words when they are called, rather than using surnames and rankings.

Zhang asked, Xu Gucheng didn't know what she meant, thought for a moment and said: "Ziye is very knowledgeable, poetry can be cited in the first place among his peers, although he was born in a merchant family, he will definitely take the road of imperial examination in the future, he is a good candidate." But I don't know his character, if you really want to talk to Siniang, you need to observe again. ”

Although it is difficult to find a truth in ten sentences in the officialdom, Xu Gucheng did not hide it from Zhang, he said whatever he wanted, and was calm.

Zhang Xian used words to frame and promise when he was fighting tea, so he thought that he had to observe one or two more to understand what kind of person Zhang Xian was.

Zhang's face was slightly gloomy, but in the face of her favorite son, she would never really turn her face, put down the teacup and said loudly: "Siniang is like this now, and she still pays attention to these? Being able to marry into the Zhang family is the best way out for her, not to mention that Ziye's conduct is absolutely trustworthy." ”

Zhang is wearing a turmeric chrysanthemum pattern undershirt today. The magenta eight-panel dress has two gold hairpins inlaid with rubies on the hair, and an intricately made ivory comb grate is inserted on the top of the hair. There are two large sapphires hanging from the ears.

On his hand, he also wears a ring inlaid with gold and jade, and the fat powder on his face is evenly smeared. The eyebrows were slightly raised, and sitting on the seat showed a bit of non-angry and self-righteous momentum.

Xu Gucheng knew that his mother liked Zhang Xian's nephew, and it was difficult to refute it, so he asked: "Why did my mother suddenly remember this? Didn't you always say in the past that you wanted to find a good family for Siniang?"

Zhang's face turned a little worse when he heard this, his eyes crossed Xu Gucheng's face, and he raised his voice and asked: "Isn't the Zhang family a good family? You also know that among these grandchildren in the family, I love Siniang the most, what is good not for her? I always take her with me when I go out, don't I pay attention to her? She was also sensible in the past. It's been a good job, and it's been a good thing, but what has happened recently really chills me. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang's gaze quickly swept over the old lady Xu who was sitting quietly drinking tea, and saw that his face did not change, so he continued.

"Now that Aunt Du has done such a stupid thing, how should Siniang deal with herself? There is no leaky wall in the world, if Siniang is married to other families, what will the family think of her when they learn that her biological mother once poisoned her mother with a poisonous needle? How will she gain a foothold? Wan Xingziye, this child and Siniang have known each other for a long time. only remembers her goodness, and will not dislike her biological mother, otherwise he will be a son of the Zhang family. Why do you want to marry a concubine whose birth mother is unkind?"

Zhang was able to use these words to persuade Xu Gucheng, most of which was because she promised to say a word or two vaguely from time to time in the morning, so that she had this statement, otherwise she would definitely say: I originally thought that Ziye was not worthy of Siniang, and I have been paying attention to better people for Siniang, but now Siniang's reputation is damaged, and the two are compatible.

If Zhang said this, Xu Gucheng would definitely refuse, after all, Xu Qian was his daughter. And it's not too old, and now it's doing something wrong. But if you recognize your actions in the future, you can repent of them. He is still willing to find a good family for her. …

Of course, it won't be better than the family he wanted to find for her in the first place, but at least it is a better family than the Zhang family.

After Zhang's words, Xu Gucheng was silent for a moment, without any expression on his handsome and elegant face, and asked, "Did Ziye tell you?"

"Naturally not, I felt that the child cared a little more about Siniang than others, so I asked him, only to know that he really appreciated Siniang, not me who he took the initiative to ask. What Zhang said was very affirmative, and it definitely made people think that this was a lie prepared by her in advance.

The Zhang family is the maiden family of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family and the Xu family also have many business contacts. But Xu Qian has always been excellent, if it weren't for what happened recently, an outstanding lady like her would definitely not be Zhang Xian's turn.

Xu Gucheng thought of Aunt Du's unwilling but mocking gaze, remembered the vicious heart under Xu Qian's gentle and virtuous appearance, remembered Lu's plain hands full of wounds, remembered the sweat on her forehead and the frowns that were wrinkled together because of forbearance, his heart sank, and said, "If the Zhang family invites a matchmaker to propose marriage, I will talk about it." ”

The implication is that it is feasible.

Zhang Shi suddenly smiled like a flower, and the wrinkles on her face suddenly increased several times, completely forgetting that a few months ago she was determined to find Xu Qian someone with the same background and education as Ding Mo.

When she tolerates a person, she will tolerate both her good and bad, but as long as she is an outcast, she is nothing.

Zhang took the fan and was supported by the maidservant, and left with a smile, leaving the place to the old lady Xu and Xu Gucheng father and son.

Old lady Xu put down the Jianyao rabbit teacup in his hand, stroked his long beard, and spoke for the first time since Xu Gucheng entered the house, and his voice was very low: "You know what to say over there in the Du family." ”

"Yes. Xu Gucheng nodded yes, his attitude was different from the respect he had for the Zhang family just now, and there was a bit of awe in it.

Although Aunt Du is the concubine of the Xu family, after all, she is from the Du family, and she has been in contact with the Du family all these years.

She has now done something to poison her mother, and the Du family has to pay the price for what she did.

Zhang walked very slowly in the courtyard, wanted to listen to the conversation in the house, and his ears almost reached the back of his head, but he still couldn't hear anything clearly, so he simply took his mother and maid away.

Her son has always been a man of his word, and she has nothing to worry about, and if there are no other variables, the family business is so decided.

"The Lu family is okay, I heard that the kid from the Ji family is treating her?" Old lady Xu spoke a little slowly, but there was concern in her words.

"It's no longer in the way, thanks to Ji Jia Goro's medical skills, otherwise it would be difficult for that hand to recover as usual. Xu Gucheng had a smile on his face, his mother had been talking about the side matter just now, and he didn't ask Lu Shi's body a word, although he replied respectfully, he was inevitably disappointed in his heart.

When Old Lady Xu asked like this, he felt a lot more comfortable.
