Chapter 102: Change your mind
When Duchess Lu Guo heard this, she was quite relieved and said with a smile: "My son just rest assured, although the Qiu family is a little worse, my mother will do her best to choose a good daughter-in-law with good talent and temperament for you." ”
An Shicheng smiled and said, "Let my mother suffer." Since my mother mentioned this matter today, she already knows it in her heart. ”
When Duchess Lu Guo heard this, she couldn't help teasing her son: "I'm really like you're a crazy student, I really plan to be a book companion for the rest of my life, and I also care about marrying my daughter-in-law." ”
An Shicheng was a little embarrassed on his face, and after a long time, Fang Zhengse said: "Although my son is obsessed with studying, he knows the importance of the continuation of his heirs. ”
Duchess Lu Guo nodded and asked with a smile, "I don't know what my son wants from that girl?"
An Shicheng hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Conduct is the most important, and the other aspects are subject to my mother's preferences." ”
Duchess Lu Guo's heart became more and more comfortable, and she was deeply proud of teaching such a filial son, but at the same time, she was worried that she would choose a daughter-in-law only based on her own preferences, and if she did not fall into her son's eyes, she would not only live up to her son's trust in her, but also delay her son's lifelong happiness in vain.
When Duchess Lu Guo thought of this, she became more and more full of plans, and she must choose a girl who will be loved by her son, as for the family background and appearance, it is secondary.
Duchess Lu Guo said bluntly: "I just said that there are several good women in the Qiu family, they have their own advantages and disadvantages, and I really don't have a good choice in my heart, so I have to ask you to come over for a detailed review." ”
is related to the happiness of the second half of his life, An Shicheng listened attentively and did not dare to be sloppy.
Duchess Lu Guo told her son about the situation of the three Qiu sisters in detail.
In fact, she didn't plan to include Qiu Ruyi, but at this time, she suddenly felt in her heart that she should tell her son all the really outstanding girls, instead of screening everyone out with her likes and dislikes, otherwise she really can't bear her son's trust in her, and this Qiu Ruyi can be regarded as a repair to her former self-use in the family teacher's heart.
After listening to his mother's comments on the three Qiu sisters, An Shicheng asked a few more words about their origins, thought for a while, and then asked his mother which young lady she liked the most.
Duchess Lu Guo said: "Naturally, it is Miss Qiu Yujuan, who is from the Qiu family. Regardless of her background, appearance, bearing, talent and temperament, she is extremely outstanding, not to mention that she is outstanding among the girls of the Qiu family, even if she is placed in the family of the capital, she is not inferior, and I have not heard that she has any difference in virtue. ”
An Shicheng nodded and smiled: "What my mother said is not bad, if you talk about a woman's virtue and appearance, she is the best choice, but there is one point, whether her son is also her best choice, otherwise we will be amorous." ”
When Duchess Lu Guo heard this, she couldn't help but think of Qiu Yujuan's indifference several times, and her heart was a little uncertain, but she still said in her mouth: "The Qiu family is no longer the rumored century-old family, and now it is even more down-and-out. ”
An Shicheng saw the hesitation in his mother's expression, so he smiled calmly: "There are many people in the world who are not self-aware, since she is so good, can she really look at our Guogong Mansion? ”
Duchess Lu hesitated: "She is a little girl, she may not have this heart." I see that her mother is full of hope to accomplish this family business. ”
An Shicheng nodded and said: "What my mother said makes sense, maybe she really doesn't have the heart to climb high branches anymore, after all, her son must not have seen her, but he guessed privately through what his mother said." However, it is precisely because her son has no contact with her that he can not be affected by his emotional likes and dislikes, and from an outsider's eye, he can see more clearly. ”
When Duchess Lu Guo heard this, she felt that what her son said was reasonable, and she had always been a bystander who was hidden by the authorities, and perhaps her son could see it better than herself.
An Shicheng saw that his mother was looking at him intently, his heart was calm, and he continued: "I heard my mother say that she has come to the house several times, and she has always been dignified and polite, but she is respectful and refuses to bow down to please her mother. Fortunately, her mother did not think of the pestle, and deliberately honed her, it is said that she is a smart person, according to a few times, she should also understand her mother's painstaking efforts, and accept it when she sees it, but she is still the same, either her mind may not be as exquisite as her appearance, or she really does not put the Guogong Mansion in her eyes. ”
When Duchess Lu Guo heard this, she remembered Qiu Yujuan's past, and felt more and more that what her son said was reasonable, but she was a little reluctant to accept that she was looked down upon by a little girl from the Qiu family, and said strongly: "I think she is a good person, not like the person who is bent on climbing up." ”
An Shicheng nodded and smiled: "Mother naturally can't be wrong to look at people, but marrying is a good thing to marry two surnames, she is so good, the imperial concubine deserves it, why block her Qingyun Road, and then her family is our benefactor, after marrying the Qiu family in the future, give her a boost, it is really a creation, and it is really our kindness." ”
Duchess Lu nodded again and again, and said: "I also thought that she was an extraordinary person in the country at first, and our family temple could not afford to provide for the big Buddha, but I just thought that she was from a low background, and it may not be successful, but now it seems that it is better to provoke her less." ”
An Shicheng held the tea and presented it to his mother, and replied respectfully: "What my mother said is true." ”
Duchess Lu Guo took a sip of tea and moistened her throat, then put Qiu Yujuan down in her heart, and said with a smile: "Actually, my mother first took Qiu Yujuan, but after a few contacts, I felt more and more that Qiu Ruolan was more suitable for the Guogong Mansion. ”
An Shicheng smiled and said, "Since my mother came to see her later, she must have thought it through careful consideration, and she must be the most suitable of the three of her." ”
When Duchess Lu Guo heard this, she once again cited Qiu Ruolan's benefits one by one, so as to show that she had indeed carefully observed and considered it repeatedly.
An Shicheng listened carefully, nodded again and again, and finally asked: "Her grandfather, isn't it Qiu Zhao who forced his brother away in order to seize the family wealth?"
Duchess Lu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Speaking of which, I am also very dissatisfied with her. However, although her grandfather did not act properly, she was a good girl, wise and sensible......"
An Shicheng hurriedly said: "Mother is right, one yard is one yard, she is her, her grandfather is her grandfather, we can't learn from the vulgar people in the world to look at her sideways because of her grandfather's affairs." ”
Duchess Lu couldn't help but "chuckle" in her heart, there are a few clear-eyed people in this world, not everyone is the same, if there is such a young lady in the Guogong Mansion, how should the world look at the Guogong Mansion, it is more likely that her son will be looked down upon for a lifetime.
However, as An Shicheng said, one yard is one yard, and she can't let such a good girl go just because her grandfather acted inappropriately, especially after Qiu Yujuan has been excluded.
Duchess Lu couldn't help but bow her head and think, and after thinking about it repeatedly, she muttered: "I was afraid of this reason that day, so I didn't see her mother and daughter in Qiufeng Villa. I met her by chance this time, and I think she is really a good person, good looks or secondary, it is rare that she behaves generously and decently at a young age, and acts in a certain way, she is really a considerate and delicate person, everything always has to be prioritized, so she ignored this small flaw, and she will marry into the Guogong Mansion in the future, she is the person of the Guogong Mansion, who dares to say anything about this matter. ”
An Shicheng smiled: "What my mother said is extremely true. The mother just said that she was 'young', and the son didn't pay attention to it, I don't know how old she is?"
Duchess Lu replied with a smile: "Although it has been a year, I am less than fourteen years old. ”
An Shicheng had an embarrassed look on his face, half loud, and said with a wry smile: "It turned out to be a little girl who was only thirteen years old! It's a son, now it's twenty-one, that's it, since it's a good one, the son is not in a hurry anyway, just wait a few more years, and when she grows up, it's not too late to get married, but I'm afraid that it will still be inevitable that the old cow will eat tender grass. ”
Duchess Lu Guo was stunned at this time, she had inquired early in the morning to know the age of the Qiu girls, but at that time, she was just to deal with the Liu family and others, and she was perfunctory, and she didn't pay much attention to it.
Waiting until the beginning of spring this year, when she understood that she had no choice, she had to hold the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and invited Qiu Yujuan and others to the house as guests.
Now that I think about it, the reason why I ignore age is because of the demeanor of Qiu Yujuan and others, as if they were young girls who are suitable for marriage, so Mrs. Lu Guogong ignored this.
At this time, after An Shicheng said this, Mrs. Lu Guogong realized that something was wrong.
Judging from words and actions alone, anyone will think that Qiu Yujuan is the longest, Qiu Ruolan is the second, and then Qiu Ruyi is the smallest.
But now Mrs. Lu Guogong remembered that among the three sisters of her, Qiu Ruyi was the longest, almost sixteen years old, and then Qiu Yujuan was in the middle, she should be fifteen years old, and Qiu Ruolan was the youngest.
Duchess Lu Guo wondered in her heart, and she didn't know how Qiu Yujuan and Qiu Ruolan's parents taught their daughter, she was so young that she didn't leak, Qiu Yujuan was just that, in the end, she was already in her prime, and Qiu Ruolan was only a thirteen-year-old little girl, how could she be like a person.
That's all, the Qiu family is a scholarly family, and most of his daughters can read, with poetry and books, and a lot of knowledge, more mature and sensible than ordinary daughters of the same age, so she is a bhikkhu Ruyi, and she can barely make sense.
It's just that if Qiu Ruolan is only thirteen years old now, she will immediately make a marriage, but she will have to wait at least two more years to get married. (To be continued.) )
