Chapter 678
Mrs. Zhu shook her head: "I understand the kindness of the Shengping Hou Mansion, Yan'er is not sensible, and I don't know what conditions she made with the eldest prince of Shengping Hou, but getting married is a lifelong event, and it is good to marry two surnames, not a transaction in the mall, I will never joke about my daughter's happiness, so I can't respond to this family matter." ”
Tan: "......"
The more Mrs. Zhu spoke, the more confused she became! Could it be that there was something that she and her sister-in-law and their elders did not know?
What conditions did Miss Zhu promise to Jing Rui? And the transaction in the mall, what kind of transaction is it?
No, with Jing Rui's current identity and the Shen family's current family background, does Jing Rui still need to take the marriage event as a transaction?
Is there some misunderstanding in this?
As soon as Tan wanted to say something, Mrs. Zhu interrupted her: "Mrs. Liu doesn't have to waste her tongue, I have made up my mind about this matter, thank you Mrs. Shengping Hou for your kindness." ”
Tan didn't know what to say anymore when she saw this, no, they didn't give herself a chance to say it at all, she stood up: "I took the liberty to disturb, but Mrs. Zhu should have misunderstood, I will leave first, and I will visit another day." ”
She had to go back and ask Jing Rui what was going on, and Mrs. Zhu's reaction was too strange.
Although the family affair could not be married, Mrs. Zhu was also worried that she would offend the Shengping Hou family in this way, so she personally sent the Tan family out of the house.
Back in the house, Mrs. Zhu felt uneasy, thinking about sending the maid next to her to call Zhu Yan back.
Early this morning, the steward of the shop said that he had something urgent to see, and the steward didn't know what to say to Zhu Yan, so Zhu Yan and the steward left in a hurry.
Mrs. Zhu waited restlessly in the house all day before waiting for her tired daughter to come back when she turned on the lamp.
"Mother, is there something wrong with you sending someone to call me back to the house?" Zhu Yan walked into Zhu's house and was so tired that he lay directly on the table.
"You kid doesn't sit down. Although Mrs. Zhu said this, she did not ask her to sit upright, but felt very sorry for her daughter who had been running around for a day.
Mrs. Zhu's maid immediately poured a cup of hot tea for Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan took it, tasted it first, and found that the temperature was moderate, so he drank it all in one gulp.
After a busy day, she really didn't even bother to drink a sip of water today.
"What's going on in the shop?Why do you look so tired?Have you eaten?" Mrs. Zhu saw that her daughter couldn't hide her tiredness, and she forgot what she had been waiting for all day to ask.
Zhu Yan was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I haven't eaten yet, the second uncle was arrested early this morning." ”
When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she was so frightened that she knocked over the teacup in her hand, and the tea stained the brocade cloth on the round table.
Mrs. Zhu quickly stood up to avoid getting wet.
The maid hurriedly stepped forward to deal with it.
"Mother, don't panic! This matter has been found out by the imperial court, but it was only done by the second uncle, and it has nothing to do with our long house. Zhu Yan sat up straight and asked the maid to easily change the tablecloth.
Fortunately, her grandfather insisted on dividing the family before he passed away, despite the opposition of her grandmother and the clansmen, otherwise their family would not be able to get rid of today's disaster.
Grandpa has always been wise, and he has said before that the second uncle is not a person who likes to follow the right path, and the Zhu family's family business must not fall into the hands of the second uncle.
It's just that his father has always loved this younger brother, and after he fell ill, he handed over part of the property to his second uncle.
Unexpectedly, in just three years, the second uncle almost broke into a catastrophe!
Fortunately, one of Caoyun's several stewards was loyal to his father and risked his death to tell him, and he happened to meet the family of Pinghou who returned to his hometown to celebrate his birthday, otherwise it would not be just the second uncle's family who was arrested today.
Mrs. Zhu calmed down a little when she heard this, sat down again, and then she asked the maid to go to the kitchen to bring some food for Zhu Yan to eat.
After the maid left, Mrs. Zhu remembered the purpose of Tan's visit today, and it happened that the second brother was arrested by the government again, but her family was safe and sound, which further confirmed her guess.
"Yan'er, you stupid child, marrying someone is a woman's second reincarnation, how can a marriage event be a child's play, even if it is to save our family, you shouldn't trade this! My mother will never agree to you to joke about your happiness!"
Zhu Yan heard this and thought that her mother thought that her family could get out safely this time because her beauty plan was successful, and she smiled and said: "Mother, you misunderstood, this time our family was able to get out of danger is indeed a favor from the county lord of Rui'an, but I didn't use my marriage as a bargaining chip, I told the truth of the matter truthfully, and the county lord of Rui'an found someone to investigate thoroughly!"
As for the food that was donated, it was also donated to the imperial court, and it had nothing to do with the half-penny of the Shengping Marquis's family.
"Speaking of trading, but not trading, this is too serious! Even if I wanted to make the beauties climb up to the Pinghou Mansion before, hoping that through the relationship between my in-laws, they could save our family, but that would have to be seen by others!" Zhu Yan continued.
"You don't have to lie to me! If your beauty plan doesn't succeed, why would someone send Mrs. Liu to be the matchmaker?"
"Mother, what do you mean by this?" Zhu Yan thought that she had heard it wrong, no, it should be her mother who said it wrong, so she couldn't help but ask again.
"This morning, Mrs. Liu came over early in the morning to talk to the eldest son of Shengping Hou, you really didn't use your marriage to achieve your goal?" Mrs. Zhu said with some uncertainty when she saw Zhu Yan's face full of disbelief.
Zhu Yan couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this: "Mother, did you see the eldest son of Shengping Hou that day, the head of the family knew that it was a Zhilan Yushu, he was a talent at a young age, and he was also the head of the case, his father is the Hou Ye, and his sister is the future imperial concubine, what kind of girl does he want to marry with such an identity, even the daughter of the prefect's wife is also interesting to him, not to mention how many ladies there are in the imperial capital! Which eye would he be blind to look at such an ordinary me?"
"Why can't you look down on him, where are you not worthy of him!" Mrs. Zhu muttered when she heard this, her daughter looks like herself, she is also a flower and moon, and her head is like her father, and she is smart! She has a generous temperament! It can be said that she attaches equal importance to beauty and wisdom! Where is it ordinary! Even if she is the eldest son of Pinghou, she will not insult him.
As long as a man with eyes sees his daughter, he will like it!
Zhu Yan knew what she thought when she saw her mother's expression, and she said helplessly: "Mother, in your eyes, I am naturally a thousand good people, but there are many people who are more beautiful than me, and there are countless people who are smarter than me.
In fact, the moment she saw the county lord of Rui'an, she felt that her beauty plan would fail.
