Chapter 588: Good Kiss

After Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu came back from the Chengenhou Mansion, in addition to bringing the news that they had made the Xu family so angry that they vomited blood and fell ill again, they also brought another news, that is, the Xu family did intend to change Xu Xiu to Lu Chuliang after Lu Chuming's marriage, and they are now working hard for this.

Xu Xiu was ashamed and angry about this, so even if she knew that Xu was sick, she had no intention of going to visit the patient. Anyway, Xu Zheng has not moved, she is a girl, and she is in the filial piety period, how can she go out alone?

When she saw Lu Chuliang just now, she was afraid and ashamed in her heart, worried that Lu Chuliang would show her disdainful expression. But she never imagined that Lu Chuliang's trip turned out to be ...... Want to be a matchmaker for her?!

Lu Chuliang didn't bother to go around in circles with her, and said directly: "This is someone else's house, it's not very convenient, I'll make a long story short." With the current reputation of the Xu family's house, my maternal uncle and grandmother are sick again, but I am afraid that after your family is filial, you will not be so easy to say that you are a good family, right? Of course, if you are willing to fill the house for the young master of the Qi family and be a ready-made stepmother, then I didn't say it. ”

Xu Xiu's face flushed, he bit his lip, forcibly endured his shame, and said as calmly as possible: "Cousin Lu...... If you have something to say, please speak up. "Of course, she can't be willing to marry a concubine to fill the house, even if the name of the Governor's Mansion is very attractive, their Xu family will be embarrassed!

Seeing this, Lu Chuliang said straight to the point: "The second son of Lord Gui, the newly promoted servant of the Ministry of Officials, is currently serving as the editor of Hanlin. He is a second-class jinshi in the previous subject, young and talented, and his appearance is quite handsome. If Sister Xu goes to your brother to ask, she will definitely be able to find out about this person, I definitely didn't lie to you. The second son of Gui originally married a wife, but he also died due to dystocia, and it will be the third anniversary in February next year. Gui's second grandmother did not leave any heirs, and Gui's second son did not have any concubines, and the Gui family was worried about his heirs, and had decided to renew the strings for him next year. It's just that the second son of Gui is not happy, and he is still thinking about his deceased wife. As long as he can be willing to marry and extend his heirs, the Gui family has no requirements for him to continue his family lineage, and only one net worth is innocent. ”

He looked up at Xu Xiu: "Second Grandma Xu's maiden father used to be an official in the same place as my father in the past. When I was a child, I met Xu Er's grandmother several times before she came out of the cabinet, and I recognized her appearance. You are five or six points similar to her eyebrows, and if you are wearing plain clothes, you are six or seven points similar. If she wears more green and light-colored clothes, combs her hair, wears pearl jewelry, speaks and behaves gently and gracefully, and often has a faint smile on her face, at first glance, it is even more similar. ”

Xu Xiu understood, but her face gradually turned pale. What Lu Chuliang means is...... Let her deliberately go to the ...... by taking advantage of the similarity in appearance between herself and Gui Er's grandmother Although the Gui family's requirements for the woman's family background have been reduced to a minimum, even if the Xu family has a bad reputation, it is more than enough, but ...... Is this kind of marriage really what she wants?

Lu Chuliang didn't have time to pay attention to Xu Xiu's mood and thoughts, and continued his words: "The second son of Gui is a filial son, and he has promised his parents that after the third anniversary of his wife's death next year, he will seriously consider the matter of continuing. However, he only agreed to consider it, and he was afraid that he only intended to prevaricate in his heart. The Gui family couldn't bear to force him, so they could only wait for him to nod himself. And I happened to be good friends with the fourth child of the Gui family, and I heard from him that the second son of Gui and his deceased wife have known each other since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and later due to the transfer of their respective fathers, separated for a few years, and reunited again, it was at the Lantern Festival in Longfu Temple in Beijing. At that time, Gui Er's grandmother was wearing a rabbit fur cloak with bean green pigmented silk, a light gray skirt embroidered with silver flowers, a beaded flower on her head, and a palace lamp of Chang'e of the Moon Palace in her hand. Over the years, at the Lantern Festival of Longfu Temple every year, the second son of Gui will go to the place where the two reunited that year to remember his deceased wife. If Big Sister Xu is interested, next year's Lantern Festival must be your chance. As for how to do it, that's none of my business. I just told Sister Xu the news, how to make it happen depends on Sister Xu's own ability. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Chuliang paused: "The Gui family not only has a servant of the Ministry of Officials, but the eldest son of the Gui family is also the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, and he happens to be in charge of the imperial examination affairs. Big Sister Xu must know in her heart, what does this mean?"

Two blushes appeared on Xu Xiu's pale face, and of course she understood what it meant.

In the Ministry of Rites, it may be beneficial to Xu Zheng's imperial examination. And the servant of the ministry is helpful to Uncle Xu and Xu Zheng's careers. Even if the Gui family is only the Shilang Mansion, to the Xu family, it is much more important than the Governor's Mansion, and even more important than the Chengenhou Mansion!

Xu Xiu's eyes flickered. She took a deep breath and looked at Lu Chuliang: "If this family business is as good as Cousin Lu said, why does Cousin Lu tell me to know......? Isn't there a little complaint?"

Lu Chuliang tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I said that there was no complaint, that was a lie to you." But I also know that my maternal uncle and grandmother's loyalty to the Xu family cannot be shaken when they are idle. Seeing my mother's sad and sad face, and my brother's troubled expression, I really resent you. So, if you can really marry into the Gui family, remember to tell your grandmother that this is my credit. I hope that my grandmother will stop tormenting my mother with kindness in the future, but will remember the kindness of our Lu family! Without my words today, Sister Xu, you still don't know when you can expect to marry into a good family, and you don't know where the future of the Xu family's house is! Isn't this kind of great kindness enough to make my grandmother shut up?!"

Xu Xiu's face turned pale again. She lowered her head, knowing that the Xu family's treatment of the Lu family was a little excessive. She herself was ashamed.

Lu Chuliang took a deep breath and continued with a faint expression: "Okay, that's all I can say. You'd better not shout my words today. The Gui family is not the only one you can climb. There are many people in the world who look similar, and Sister Xu, you are only five or six points like you. If the news leaks and cheapens other people, I will laugh at it!"

He turned around and walked away. Xu Xiu wanted to ask more clearly, but it could be seen that he didn't look back, and he didn't dare to scream too loudly, so as not to alarm others, so he had to be entangled in the garden for a while, and then pulled the girl and left in a hurry.

She was gone, and Lu Chuliang poked his head out of the house on the other side of the garden, followed by two teenagers of similar age to him.

One of them, a little chubby, whispered, "How is it?"

The other handsome one didn't say anything, just stared thoughtfully in the direction where Xu Xiu's back disappeared.

Lu Chuliang pulled the two of them back to the house and sat down, and said, "I don't know if she will go when I look at her appearance, but I believe that most of them believe it." She's a ...... Actually, it's not very shrewd. I didn't lie to her, as long as she inquired again, she knew that the Gui family's family business was something she could climb, and she should naturally know what to do when the time came. ”

The chubby boy said, "If she really believes it, she will stay in the house honestly in the future, and stop dangling in the garden all day, and I will be at ease." If I really let my cheap cousin hook up with the girl of the Xu family in my garden, our Qi family's reputation can still be?! ”

The young Qi Xiaoer thought to himself, fortunately, Xu's family room is now filial piety, and he can't ask about other people's homes, so he doesn't know the news of his cheap cousin. Although that man is a concubine, he is also an only son, and it is absolutely impossible to divide the family or something. Lu Chuliang's words are just the eldest girl of the Xu family, if you really have to investigate carefully, the family affairs of the Governor's Mansion may not be as good as those of the Shilang Mansion.

Qi Xiaoer looked down on this cheap cousin very much, the other party's biological mother was so favored that she was so arrogant that she was about to ride on his aunt's head, and she was bent on getting a competent in-law in Beijing. His aunt really couldn't have a son, if it weren't for the sake of the three cousins, she would have turned her face with her uncle a long time ago, but now she had to swallow her anger and coax her uncle to agree to a superficial family affair. As long as the Xu family does not cooperate, the cheap cousin can only accept that family business, and in the future, he will not want to use the power of the Yue family to suppress his aunt and several cousins. Although the reputation of the Xu family is discredited, how can it be that it is also the in-laws of the Chengenhou Mansion, and Mrs. Chengenhou blindly protects her shortcomings, if she really asks her cheap cousin to climb this family business, what will happen in the future, it is really difficult to say. Fortunately, he has a good friend Lu Chuliang, who not only smells like him, but is also willing to help him solve the problems of the Xu family.

However, Qi Xiaoer was also a little curious: "If Miss Xu really went to the Lantern Festival, can Second Brother Gui take a fancy to her?" He pushed his friends around him, "Gui Xiaosi, you say!"

Gui Xiaosi glanced up at him: "Maybe." I haven't seen this Xu girl, but I just looked at it from a distance, and she did look a little like my second sister-in-law. After that, he turned his head to look at Lu Chuliang, "If my second brother is really willing to marry again and give birth to an heir in the future, Second Brother Lu will be my benefactor of Gui Xiaosi! The second sister-in-law is so good, who in the family is not sad that she went so early? ”

Lu Chuliang smiled: "What are you worried about? You have also seen that Senior Sister Xu is inferior to Second Grandma Gui in terms of appearance, talent, and character." Even if Second Brother Gui marries her because of her appearance, it is impossible to empathize. What your family wants is only the heirs of the second brother Gui, and the middle feed of the family is presided over by Aunt Gui and sister-in-law Gui. No matter how bad the reputation of the Xu family is, are you still afraid that Aunt Gui will not be able to deal with it? Aunt Gui is the daughter of the imperial history! She disciplines her daughters-in-law strictly! Even if Sister Xu learns any bad things from her mother's family, with Aunt Gui's teaching, she can be turned into a real good wife!"

Gui Xiaosi smiled: "That's not bad. I haven't seen a sister-in-law who has been in my mother's hands and can still give birth to a moth. It is also because the second sister-in-law is the most satisfied with my mother that my mother is the most reluctant to her, and she still has close contact with the second sister-in-law's mother's family. He paused, "As for the Xu family, that's not a problem. My father was a servant of the ministry, and he was looking for a place from afar, and transferred Uncle Xu to a foreign post, and then promoted him to an official, and if he was not transferred back for ten or eight years, he was still afraid that the roots of his ears would not be quiet? If Uncle Xu was unwilling, he would push it two or three times, and he would be badly evaluated. When the time comes, I will directly invite him to go home and stay with him, which will be more and more worry-free!"

If the other party to the marriage is the Xu family, then no matter what the Gui family does, no one can pick on them. Gui Xiaosi was quite satisfied. Thanks to Lu Chuliang, a good brother, he introduced a good relative!
