Jin Xin is already twenty years old, and after the next winter, he will be twenty-one. In this ancient world, there is no doubt that she belongs to the ranks of leftover women, according to this situation, she should be trying to get married tomorrow, however, she has repeatedly refused to marry, which is really incomprehensible.

Even the old lady who had always hurt her couldn't help but sink her face and get angry.

"Five girls, why do you refuse to marry?"

Jin Xin knew that no matter what reason she made up in this situation, it would make people unhappy, but she had to deal with the past, so she stubbornly said: "Grandmother, I still want to stay with my grandmother for a few more years." ”

"Tsk, you kid, why can't you tell the difference?"

The old lady changed her face and said with a straight face: "You are twenty years old, not sixteen or seventeen years old, there are still two or three years to delay, grandmother is a lot older, who knows when it will be gone, no matter how painful it is, you can still protect you for a lifetime?" Don't take advantage of the fact that your grandmother is still there, and personally choose a good marriage for you, and if you get married, you will have a guarantee for this life in the future. Obviously a smart one, why don't you understand such a truth? ”

Jin Xin listened to the old lady's words, lowered his head, and did not speak.

Cui Ying persuaded beside her: "Yes, fifth sister, the old lady is right." You really can't delay any longer at this age, and don't worry, my cousin, I dare to pack tickets, I'm really a very good person, if you marry him, he will definitely spoil you and protect you, and won't let you suffer a little grievance. ”

The eldest lady also said: "Fifth girl, you have thought carefully, if you are wrong about this Cui Gongzi, I am afraid that I will never meet a son with such good conditions in the future." ”

The old lady took Jin Xin's hand, stared at Jin Xin's face with a deep gaze: "Five girls, the matter will be put here first, wait for two days, and ask clearly and carefully, if there is no objection, grandmother is going to settle it for you." You should also take advantage of these times to think about it yourself, and as your aunt said, think clearly. ”

* Jin Xin returned to Wutong Garden with a heavy heart.

Ziqin had already taken a bath, and when she saw her coming back, she greeted her and asked, "Miss, I heard what Mother Zhang said, how is it, what did the old lady say?" ”

Jin Xin looked at Ziqin very weakly, sighed, and said: "This time it's my sister-in-law's cousin, named Cui Qi, grandmother means that she is very satisfied, and she intends to settle it like this." ”

Ziqin was stunned when she heard this, she knew that Jin Xin had no intention of marrying, and she also knew that the old lady had relieved her mouth before, saying that she would not force Jin Xin to marry in the past two or three years, but she didn't expect that it didn't take long for her to change her hexagram, and the speed was so fast that she even found a good object.

Jin Xin also didn't expect that the matter of this good embroidery workshop had not been resolved, and when he encountered this matter, it could really be described as a wave of unsettled waves.

There she was, frowning.

To say that the old lady is not the kind of person who is untrustworthy, and suddenly there is such a change, someone must be on the side, so she has to pull this matter with the eldest lady, after all, she took the initiative to find this marriage, and the other party is still her eldest daughter-in-law's cousin.

It's hard to believe that a qiē has nothing to do with the eldest lady.

Now the happiest person in this matter belongs to Zhang's mother, Zhang's mother is looking forward to Jin Xin's marriage as soon as possible and learning this "good news"

, immediately overjoyed, ran upstairs as soon as he slipped away, and told Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao was sitting on the couch, with an embroidery frame in front of her, embroidering things.

Mother Zhang stood beside her and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhao, you are Miss's biological mother, and now Miss's marriage has finally been settled, I think about it, I have to sue Aunt Zhao after all." ”

The movements in Aunt Zhao's hands were still slow and orderly, her face was calm, and her eyes looked at the embroidery frame in front of her indifferently, as if she hadn't heard Zhang's mother's words at all.

Mother Zhang saw that she was unmoved, and her face flashed a trace of strangeness, as if she was disappointed.

However, Zhang's mother did not stop talking, and still said to herself: "By the way, this marriage was brought by the eldest lady to Miss Zhang Luo, I heard that the other party is very talented, and the old lady is also very satisfied." ”

Aunt Zhao took the hand of the needle and thread for a moment, was silent, raised her head, turned her eyes leisurely, and looked at Mother Zhang: "You said that the eldest lady took the initiative to give Zhang Luo?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Mother Zhang saw that Aunt Zhao had a reaction, and she was overjoyed, and said: "I didn't expect that in the past, the old lady asked the eldest lady to help Zhang Luo with our young lady's marriage several times, and the eldest lady should have responded, but she didn't look very enthusiastic about it. ”

Aunt Zhao looked at Mother Zhang, lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and said, "Yes, it is strange that the eldest lady is suddenly so enthusiastic." ”

She said it lightly, but the tone always felt as if it had a deep meaning.

"What did Miss Five say?"

Aunt Zhao asked again.

"Haven't come back yet."

As soon as Zhang's mother responded, she saw Ziqi at the door and said, "Mother Zhang, Miss is back!" ”

When Zhang's mother heard this, she couldn't help but ask about the situation, so she hurriedly said hello to Aunt Zhao and went out.

Aunt Zhao was still sitting there, but she didn't have the heart to embroider anymore, she just looked at her embroidery frame and frowned.

Jin Xin was still talking to Ziqin, when he saw Zhang's mother walking in from outside, with a smile on her face, she opened her mouth and asked, "Miss, how is it, which family's son?" ”

Jin Xin looked at Zhang's mother so happy, her heart was suddenly gloomy, and she was disgusted with Zhang's mother's smile at this time, although she knew that Zhang's mother had a good heart, she still couldn't help but be angry, after all, this kind of situation was not what she wanted at all, for her, it was like Coptis stuck in her throat, she couldn't go up or down, and she was miserable, however, when she was so sad and miserable, Zhang's mother was happy about it, and it would be strange if she wasn't disgusted.

"It's my sister-in-law's cousin, Cui Qi."

Zhang's mother was stunned: "Is it the cousin of the young grandmother?" ”

Jin Xin hummed, didn't want to say more, got up and walked inside, and entered his room.

Zhang's mother followed from behind and asked: "The young grandmother's family is also a good family, and although there are few high-ranking officials, there are also a lot of great talents, and they are a good family." Come to think of it, that Cui Gongzi must not be bad. ”

Jin Xin frowned impatiently and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it's not bad, it's very good." Just there, several people have expressed these words several times, Mother Zhang, don't follow the coaxing and make noise in my ears, they are all about to grow calluses. ”

Seeing Jin Xin's impatient appearance, Mother Zhang said, "Miss, how did you say this?" ”

"I didn't say much."

Jin Xin didn't intend to continue, sat on the bed, took off his shoes, and lay on the bed: "Okay, Mother Zhang, I'm a little tired, sleep for a while, if you want to know anything, ask Ziqin." ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Zhang's mother to speak, so he stretched out his hand and put down the bed net.

Mother Zhang watched the bed tent slowly fall, frowned, sighed and shook her head.

Ziqin knew that Jin Xin was upset and wanted to be quiet.

She walked over and said to Zhang's mother, "Miss has a lot of things to do today, and she is very tired, so let's let her sleep for a while." What's the matter, let's talk about it later? ”

The bed tents were all put down, and it was clear that they didn't want to talk about it anymore, how could Mother Zhang continue to talk here like this, and after listening to Ziqin's words, she had to nod and go out with Ziqin.

* The old lady's words were not a joke, and in the next two days, Cui Qi was really investigated.

Cui Qi, twenty-three years old, a native of Yizhou, is the third son of Cui Shouhe, the governor of Yizhou, since he was a child, he has been smart and has the ability to never forget, he has just won the promotion not long ago, he is a well-known young talent, the most important thing is that he is gentle and elegant, and therefore has a wide range of friends, the key is that there are no bad habits.

No matter how you look at it, this is a man who stands out.

The old lady was still worried, feeling that the eldest lady suddenly took the initiative to arrange a marriage for Jin Xin, which was fraudulent, so she deliberately asked people to investigate very carefully, but looking at the results of this investigation, she was suspicious.

The old lady grasped these circumstances, and without hesitation, she nodded.

Cui Ying saw that the old lady was satisfied, her face was happy, and she hurriedly said that she would go back and inform her mother's family, and let the Cui family invite the matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage.

Jin Xin was outside the house at this time, and he was busy dealing with the affairs of the good embroidery workshop, and he didn't know anything about it at this time.

Zhang's mother and Ziqi were so happy that they were almost dancing, but Jin Xin was sitting there with a dead face.

Is this decided?

Although she had thought that she would encounter such a thing, when she did, she still couldn't accept it.

At this moment, she really felt that this was ancient times, where women not only had a low status and were restricted in many places, but also couldn't help themselves.

yes, it's up to you.

It's really fateful.

She sat there and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Ziqin looked at her face from the side, and said worriedly: "Miss, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and it seems that you can only accept it." ”

The corners of Jin Xin's mouth curved slightly, and a bitter smile appeared: "Accept your fate?" ”

"Why don't you talk to the old lady about it again?"

"It's useless. Grandmother has indulged me so many times, how can she not allow my temperament again this time, not to mention, she has been worried about my marriage, I am afraid that I will be older and it will be more difficult to marry in the future, and now I finally met this person who is so satisfied with her, you say, will she be willing to miss it? ”

“……”

Ziqin's eyes looked at Jin Xin's somewhat weak appearance, her eyes moved, and she wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't speak.

After all, I chose to be silent.

After being silent for a while, I suddenly heard Jin Xin say: "I don't know if that Cui Qi is really as good as they say." I always felt that it was too perfect. ”

Although he didn't have any big ties with the eldest lady, and he couldn't think of any move from the other party to deliberately harm her, Jin Xin still couldn't help but be wary of the eldest lady, but he felt that she was not so kind.
