Chapter 587: Being a matchmaker

Min's idea is very simple, if someone really takes a fancy to Xu Xiu, and his family background can satisfy Grandma Xu, then hurry up and let the Xu family's wishes come true! Xu Xiu successfully married, and everyone's ears can be quiet.

However, where did things go as smoothly as she thought?

Grandma Xu Er said: "Where can it be? That is, the subordinates among the neighbors are discussing in private, and there is a lot of gossip, but I have never seen the governor's son visit the long house." However, the long house has not yet been filial, and ordinary people will not come to the door to visit. Mrs. Qi didn't say anything, half-salty, and saw that she was not as enthusiastic about the long house, at least not as enthusiastic as when our family was in the past, but she didn't mean not to have anything to do with them because of the rumors. I can't tell what Mrs. Qi thinks, but the governor's son is just her sister's son, and it is not her turn to interfere in the marriage matter. What's more, how prominent is the identity of the son of the Governor's Palace? and such a young talent, what kind of good family affairs can't be said, and he needs to be a sister-in-law?"

Min still frowned: "What is the surname of this governor's son? Since he is already in his early twenties, he must have already married, right?"

Second Grandma Xu said with a smile: "The Qi family calls him a cousin young master, as for the surname...... Whether it was Lin or Ning, I didn't hear clearly. There is a grapevine that he has actually married a wife before, but the relationship between husband and wife is shallow, and after only one year of marriage, his wife died in childbirth, and he did not remarry later. The eldest sister-in-law is also willing, this is to fill the house! She is not afraid of wronging Sister Xiu'er. However, if Sister Xiu'er can really marry into the Governor's Mansion and fill the house, it seems that there is nothing to be wronged about......"

Min couldn't stand Xu Er's grandmother's words, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then turned to ask about Xu Rong's homework.

Grandma Xu Er said busily: "He has been studying hard these days, and he has also read the notes sent by Brother Jian, saying that he has benefited a lot! Yongjiahou is a famous teacher in Beijing, and all the students he taught have been admitted to the Jinshi. Brother Jian'er's notes were written down when he listened to Yongjiahou explain the Four Books, and they were a hundred times stronger than those taught by the gentlemen outside! Brother Rong said that after reading the notes, many things that I didn't understand at once suddenly became clear! Even Xixi, who we invited to teach Brother Rong at home, said that the notes were extremely precious, and it was really a great blessing that Brother Rong could get them!

Min Shi smiled faintly: "This is what Brother Jian asked people to copy his previous lecture notes." Since it can benefit Brother Rong, it is also a good thing. I only hope that he will take the children's examination next year, and he will really be able to make a name for himself in one go. He is also old now, he has no fame, and he can't straighten his waist when he walks outside. ”

Xu Er's grandmother hurriedly said: "What the in-laws said is true! In the past, we were too indulgent to our children, thinking that with Brother Zheng in front of us, Brother Rong didn't have to work so hard. But if your father has her mother, it's better to have it yourself. No matter how prosperous the cousin is, how can he compare to the glory he has earned? It is we who have delayed the child! Now Brother Rong knows that he is motivated and is willing to work hard, and it is all the credit of his in-laws. ”

Min pulled the corners of his mouth: "Don't dare to take credit, this is the credit of our wife." "If there is no Xu family to hang Xu Rong with the marriage contract of the Qin family's daughter, where would he be willing to work hard to study?

Grandma Xu Er's embarrassed laughed a few times.

The people in the second room of the Xu family have maintained the frequency of the last Chengenhou Mansion in three or five days, and they have been showing in front of outsiders that their friendly relationship with the Qin family is not affected by all kinds of rumors, and they seem to want to prove that only the Xu family's room is unreliable. But in fact, the second room of the Xu family does not see the truth about the Xu family every time you come, but it is not known to outsiders. The Chengenhou Mansion is also deliberately allowing misunderstandings from the outside world. Anyway, they don't want the Xu family to be too close to the people in the second room of the Xu family, the former just needs to recuperate quietly, and the Xu family's affairs have her own children and grandchildren to worry about.

The Xu family didn't pay much attention to how often people from the second room of the Xu family came. Now she hopes to see her eldest nephew and eldest nephew and daughter-in-law again, and tells them not to act rashly and ruin the Xu family's innocence and good reputation. However, no one came to Xu's house, and she asked people to send posts over, or sent people to invite people, but there was no response. This made her suspicious, obviously she was so angry that she vomited blood, why was Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu so angry that they didn't care about her? Didn't Grandma Xu still say that she wanted to get back the two clothes that Xu Xiu made herself?

She had some suspicions that she was cut off from the outside world by her family, and those invitations or summons were not sent to Xu's family's room at all?

Grandma Xu also said: "The eldest uncle and sister-in-law are now busy clarifying the matter of Sister Xiu. They seem to have taken a fancy to a good family, or some kind of governor's mansion! Now where do they have time to come to see their aunt and grandmother? I see, don't mention the Lu family, with the feudal officials in front of them, where is the eldest sister-in-law willing to marry her daughter to the family of an official from Sanpin? If you are talking about Sister Lan, I am afraid she will be happy. ”

Even the Xu family felt unkind when they heard this: "How is it possible? Sister Lan is a concubine, and Chu Liang is no longer successful, and she is also a high-ranking official's concubine." She paid more attention to the family affairs of the Governor's Mansion in Xu Er's grandmother's mouth, "What's going on?" Xu Er's grandmother couldn't give more details: "The eldest sister-in-law now treats our second room as an enemy, where can she pay attention to us? ”

Xu was suspicious of her. Previously, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Xu family had a history of lying, and Xu suspected that they had colluded with their children and grandchildren and participated in the blockade of her news. Although she was very worried, she was now seriously ill and unwell, unable to even get out of the house, and often felt in poor spirits. There was no way, so she had to press her eagerness first, and let Xu Er's grandmother help pay attention to Xu Xiu's new marriage, especially to inquire clearly, which of the governor's sons was it, and did he really have the heart to propose to Xu Xiu?

If she can really marry Xu Xiu into the Governor's Palace, she doesn't have to let the Lu family get involved. When necessary, her sons can also support the Xu family's house and discuss marriage with the governor's palace. Xu Xiu is married well, and the gap between her and Qin Youzhen's mother and son must not exist, right?

The Xu family had good wishes to recuperate, and even Qin Youzhen, Lu Chuming, and Lu Chuliang's mother and son appeared less, and they didn't pay much attention to it. She also thinks this is quite reasonable, because two days ago, Qin Youzhen privately reported a good news to her, saying that Lu Yueniang, the niece and granddaughter who married into the Yunyang Hou Mansion, was diagnosed as pregnant, but the month is still shallow, less than two months, but I am afraid that the fetus is not very stable. Lu Yueniang is now busy with the baby, Qin Youzhen is worried about her daughter, and when the situation on Xu's side stabilizes, she will directly move into the Yunyang Hou Mansion and take care of Lu Yueniang with Mrs. Yunyang Hou. As for Lu Chuming and Lu Chuliang's brothers, they naturally stayed at home to study. However, the former had to go to his future father-in-law for advice the next day, and Lu Chuliang was left alone. In the past, he would definitely have to go to Chengenhou's Mansion to find a few cousins to play, but now, he rarely appears in front of the Xu family.

Xu felt that it was reasonable for the Lu family to appear less, so he devoted himself to recuperating and did not ask more, but repeatedly sent people to Lu Yueniang to send supplements that were beneficial to pregnant women, not only to make good friends with the Marquis of Yunyang, but also to mend the relationship with the Lu family.

Therefore, she didn't know that her maiden niece and granddaughter Xu Xiu, when she was hanging around in her garden with shame and pretending to pick flowers, she met Lu Chuliang, who was standing in the garden of the Qi family next door, frowning and looking at her through the hollow flower window.

Xu Xiu seemed to be greatly frightened at that time, his face changed, and he took several steps back before he could stand firm. Her girl almost screamed.

Lu Chuliang frowned and glanced at the latter: "What's it called? Are you afraid that others won't know, what are you doing in the garden?"

The girl covered her mouth tightly, didn't dare to make a sound, and turned back to look at Xu Xiu in panic. Xu Xiu took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and squeezed out a smile: "It turned out to be Cousin Lu." Why are you here?"

"Brother Qi and I are good friends. Lu Chuliang said lightly, "I have something to say to Sister Xu, so I asked him to help me with this." ”

Xu Xiu's face flushed. Lu Chuliang actually met the Qi family, so what about those two clothes......

As soon as this thought flashed in her mind, Lu Chuliang had already thrown a small burden from the other side of the wall: "This is your thing, take it and burn it yourself." Don't let your needles and threads slip out in the future. ”

The girl quickly picked up the burden and opened it to see that it was indeed her own girl's needlework.

Xu Xiu's face turned red, and she immediately ordered the girl to take the things down, and then she made up her mind again, and then saluted and thanked Lu Chuliang: "Thank you Cousin Lu, when my aunt and grandmother spoke, I didn't know ......."

"There's not much time, no more gossip. Lu Chuliang interrupted her, "Let me tell you the truth, Brother Qi told me that the cousin who is currently living in his house is indeed the son of the governor, but he is a concubine, so the governor's wife is too lazy to rent another house for him in Beijing, and only asks him to live in Qi's house." He is indeed about to continue the string, and the original partner died in childbirth, leaving a daughter who is still young. But after he continues, he will probably go out of the family. The Qi family was happy to see that young master marry the Xu family, and it also saved him from adding a good Yue family, but is Big Sister Xu really willing to accept this family business?"

Xu Xiu's face suddenly turned white. The step-family of the concubine is still a ready-made stepmother, and the family is about to be separated, so even the son of the governor's palace can't be considered!

She said in a trembling voice, "Thank you Cousin Lu for reminding me, it's just ...... Why are you telling me this?"

Lu Chuliang said lightly: "Let me tell you, naturally because there is another good marriage to introduce to you." But don't worry, it's not my little brother. ”

Xu Xiu was stunned for a moment: "What?" Lu Chuliang is this...... Matchmaking for her?
