The next day, Zhang's family came in to report that something had happened to the Ruan family next door, Ruan Shaoqing was attached to King Zhao, and when the court went to prison, life and death were uncertain.

Zhang pouted and said: "The Ruan family is bullying people, they deserve it! Ah Mei also counted out his bad breath!"

Ling Xiang didn't want to mention Ruan Yue, especially when Zhang knew about it, although she didn't point it out when she spoke, her expression was obvious, making her feel like she had swallowed a fly.

Lian glanced at the surrounding maids and glared at Zhang.

Zhang sat down with a smile and asked Ling what he was doing.

Ling Xiang brought a dustpan, with a lot of satin and silk needlework in it, and was busy with Lian's work: "It's going to be cold, and I plan to sew a few warmers and send them to my mother, Ah Xun, and Brother Tao to keep them warm." ”

"Oh, don't you have your aunt's share? Not even your father?"

"I can't imagine your aunt and uncle carrying a warm tube all day long, as for Daddy, not to mention, if you really want, I will ask the needle and thread to sew a few more for you. Ling replied without raising his head.

Zhang chuckled: "Look, when you come to me, you can only ask someone to do it." Let's go, I'll be happy with Tao'er. ”

As he was talking, the doorkeeper of Qiwutang reported outside the curtain: "Mrs., Mrs. Gu and Miss Cousin have come to see you." ”

Lian Shi hurriedly said please.

Ling Chunniang walked in with Cheng Ai, and Zhang got up and said, "Mrs. Gu sits less, there is something in front of me, I am about to take a look." ”

Ling Xiang knew that Zhang's personality was straightforward, disgusted with Cheng Ai, and didn't want to be false and wronged, but felt that she was cute.

In Ling Chunniang's eyes, Zhang's family is naturally an outsider, and now her mind is on her daughter's marriage, and she doesn't want to say something in front of outsiders. ”

Zhang immediately laughed.

Ling makeup is not good at avoiding her aunt, so she can only accompany her here.

Ling Chunniang cared about her niece's married life a few words, and after a few words, the words unconsciously turned to Cheng Ai's head: "Alas, you are a good fate, you can marry into that kind of family, but this girl is crooked and inferior, and I am afraid that I will not be able to marry if I drag it on." Recently, there was a national funeral, and the days when the people were forbidden to marry had already passed, but martial law was also imposed on them, and there were rumors that there was going to be a war outside, and there was no shadow of the matchmaker, which was really sad for the dead. ”

Lian knew what her aunt meant, but she didn't know a few families in Beijing at all, where was there a young man who could see it and talk about it, but she didn't have to show affection, so she had to say: "Seventeen, it's the end of the year again, don't blame my sister for being anxious, it's better to find an official media to come over and ask if there is a suitable one, let's refer to it together." ”

Ling Chunniang hurriedly thanked her.

Even the family was upset, so he asked the color fan to go to the second gate to send a message to invite someone.

After leaving Ling Chunniang's mother and daughter for lunch, Ling Xiang wanted to find a way to go back to the room, only to say that a matchmaker surnamed Shi came to the door.

Ling Chunniang said: "Ah Mei, your sister doesn't know anything, you can help you listen to which family is suitable for each other." ”

Ling Xiang saw that her face was full of pleading, and she couldn't refuse.

Mrs. Shi entered the department to make a few jokes, and then stared at Ling Xiang and praised fiercely: "Ah, hey, isn't this the granddaughter-in-law of Princess Zhuang's own grandson? I heard that my uncle gave him the surname of the country, and he will inherit the title of the prince in the future, it is a wealth and wealth, and only a fairy like grandma can afford it!"

"Where's the rumor? Why don't I know?"

Mrs. Shi didn't expect to pat the horse's hooves, look at Ling makeup, her eyebrows are cold, as clear as a snow lotus on an iceberg, but her eyebrows are extremely gorgeous, and the two contradictory temperaments are integrated in her, which is more flavorful than any beauty she has ever seen before.

Ling Xiang interrogated three sentences in a row, but her voice was low and pleasant, which made people feel reprimanded and couldn't have any bad feelings, and Mrs. Shi only felt that she had blasphemed and offended such a fairy-like character, which was really a sin, and she accused her again and again.

Lian invited her to sit down for tea.

Mrs. Shi took a sip and praised "Good tea!" before she said: "The national funeral party, I have been idle for a long time, and Mrs. Chengling has blue eyes, I don't know which one I want to kiss?"

Ling Xiang felt that this matchmaker was a wonderful person, much more aware of advance and retreat than the average person who only knew how to boast and boasted, so he took a closer look.

I saw her forty miles away, with a round and graceful face, wearing a smoke-gray bamboo and stone smooth brocade placket cotton jacket, a high-necked pan-buttoned middle shirt, a dark blue gem on the button, a white cotton skirt sprinkled with flowers, a few locks of pearls on the bun, a blue diamond-shaped gemstone bead flower in the middle, and a silk yarn palace flower on the side of the hair, dignified and generous, like a lady of the main house of an official family when she does not speak.

Lian pointed to Cheng Ai: "It is the only niece of our master, surnamed Cheng, seventeen this year, the family lives in Jugongfang, the ancestors are military households, and they want to find a solid family, hardworking and loyal children, do you know where there is a suitable one?"

Mrs. Shi smiled and looked at Cheng Ai, and then almost couldn't hold her face.

She belongs to the senior matchmaker in the official media, that is, the palace and the princess, and they all come and go often.

The name of Jugongfang is good, she knows exactly what kind of people live in it, and she knows it well, and Da Yin has been prosperous for many years, and the military household has become a pronoun who has not settled down.

As a result, I didn't think that this Mrs. Ling didn't know the rules of Beijing, and entrusted a cousin who couldn't fight with the eight poles of the palace, she had all the children of the official eunuchs and nobles in the capital, if the character was born as outstanding as Miss Ling, it would be fine, who knew that it was a sallow face, squinting eyes and flat nose, so that she couldn't find words for a while.

Ling Xiang saw that the matchmaker choked, almost laughed, and was busy pretending to find silk threads in the dustpan to cover up.

Fortunately, Shi Media was used to seeing the scene, so he was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "I don't know what Mrs. Ling means, what kind of family do you want to find for your niece Ling, and what are the conditions?"

Lian looked at Ling Chunniang in embarrassment, and Cheng Ai, as a girl who had not left the pavilion, bowed her head in shame.

Ling Chunniang hurriedly said: "What other conditions can our family have? But I want to settle a solid family for the girl, the husband knows how to live, and he will know the cold and the hot in the future." ”

Ling Xiang saw Cheng Ai biting her lip flap lightly, obviously dissatisfied, but she didn't squeak either.

"That's right...... Let me think about it. Mrs. Shi's eyes rolled a few times, and she said, "There are only two families that can be thought of in front of me, and they are still related to each other, and I will listen to them with my wives." ”

Ling Chunniang couldn't hide her anxiousness, and nodded again and again.

"One family is my cousin's cousin, the family has a simple population, the mother died early, the father and son opened an incense and candle shop in Pingkang, I heard that the business is not bad, in addition to making a living, but also to support two men and helpers. The child was born strong, in good health, not afraid of hardship, and should live a good life. ”

When she said this, Mrs. Shi was quite sincere, and after eating this line of food for a long time, it would be beneficial for others to promote one more marriage. What's more, she considered that the Ling family took the royal family, and how did the ordinary people know about the twists and turns between the royal brothers, and thought that it was also a good thing to turn around, so it was also said that people who were better than the Cheng family said.
