The capital is the most face-saving place, whether it is a misunderstanding or not, Lin Qinghan took his niece's dowry to his mother as a congratulatory gift, which was enough for the officials and wives in the capital to laugh at it.

Ma Peng heard the rumors outside, frowned and said, "How did Ting Zheng marry such a daughter-in-law?" "Ma Peng has only met Lin Qinghan once, that is, he will meet when he meets him, so he is not familiar with Lin Qinghan.

Zhuang Ruolan only shook her head: "Yueyao didn't take a fancy to the Lin family that day, but Tingzheng himself was willing, and Yueyao had no choice, so she had to obey Tingzheng's wishes." But, ahem, I don't even know what to say. is also Yueyao's generous temperament, if it were me, I would never allow her to be so presumptuous? The attitude of the Lin family that day made her feel that this Lin family was definitely not a good match. It's just that Zhuang Ruolan didn't expect that this Lin family could be so stupid that such a simple thing could be wrong.

Ma Peng knew something was wrong when he heard this: "What did the Lin family do?"

Zhuang Ruolan said everything she knew: "If you want me to say, it is the blessing of the Lin family to be able to meet such a generous eldest sister as Yue Yao, from the Lin family to the Lian family to the present, Yue Yao has never felt sorry for her for half a point, but this Lin family is good, not only has she given Yue Yao no face three or four times, but she also speaks ill of Yue Yao outside." Zhuang Ruolan also treats Yueyao as her own sister, and when she sees the Lin family like this, she is inevitably unhappy.

Ma Peng frowned and said, "What did Ting Zheng say?"

Speaking of Tingzheng, Zhuang Ruolan didn't know how to evaluate it, and said that Tingzheng couldn't help it, and Tingzheng couldn't let Yueyao be his master when he grew up.

Ma Peng didn't express his opinion anymore, it was difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, he couldn't help this kind of thing even if he had the heart to help, and it would only make it worse if outsiders interfered in family affairs.

Zhuang Ruolan said: "I'll go over tomorrow to take a look." "No one is in a good mood when they encounter such a bad thing.

Ma Peng nodded and said, "Bring Ke Yue and Yan Qi over too!"

Speaking of her daughter, Zhuang Ruolan inevitably talked about the marriage of her two children, Ke Yue has already been married, but Yanqi has not yet been married, and Cong Pei's age has also arrived, and she is almost about to say goodbye.

Ma Peng said: "Cong Pei is not in a hurry, it is not too late to wait for him to gain fame." Although Ma Peng is very disgusted with Ma Yue, but the person is dead, he will not get along with a child, Ma Peng, who should be the eldest uncle, never shirks.

Not only Zhuang Ruolan is thinking about Cong Pei's marriage, but Ma Chengpeng is also anxious about Cong Pei's marriage: "What do you think of Ke Xin's child?"

Ma Peng was stunned, thinking that his father could really think about it, not to mention that Cong Pei was nine years older than Ke Xin, just Cong Pei was not a little brilliant in this child, it would be strange if Yue Yao and An Zhichen could look at it! Ma Peng didn't talk to Ma Chengpeng either, and said ruthlessly: "If Cong Pei can get into the top three, it's not impossible." "With Congpei's qualifications, it would be good to be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, the top three, don't even think about it.

Ma Chengpeng was choked, but instead said, "I haven't asked Yueyao, how do you know that it can't be done?"

Ma Peng is not a fool, he has been training in officialdom for so long, and he has already seen the door: "Dad, I want to tell Kexin to Congpei, this is not your idea, right?"

Ma Chengpeng hurriedly said: "I'll just say it, if you don't think it's good, then forget it." In fact, Ma Chengpeng also felt that this matter was a little inappropriate.

When Ma Peng heard this, he already had a number in his heart, and when he got out of the house, his face sank, Congpei's qualifications were not good, but he never looked down on Congpei, but it doesn't matter if people are not smart, the key is to be self-aware.

Ma Peng called his henchman Abba, and after a few words, he said, "Don't let people find out." ”

The fact is as Ma Peng expected, this matter is not Ma Chengpeng's mind at all, but Congpei, it is Congpei who thinks about it himself, Ma Chengpeng has always loved this fatherless and motherless child, so he also moved his mind, but this little thought quickly disappeared under Ma Peng's blow.

That night, Zhuang Ruolan knew about it, and Zhuang Ruolan was very surprised: "Is this really what Cong Pei thinks about himself?"

Ma Peng's face was very ugly: "He thought of it himself, but fortunately, my father was not confused, and he didn't mention it directly to Yueyao, but told me first." From this point, it can be seen that Ma Chengpeng himself feels that this matter is not very reliable.

Zhuang Ruolan was speechless: "He really dares to think about it." With An Zhichen's status rising, Kexin's status has also risen, Zhuang Ruolan used to have these thoughts, but now she has dispelled this idea.

Ma Peng's thoughts are different from Zhuang Ruolan: "As long as the child has a future, how can Yueyao not look down on it?" The key is to have your own prowess, and you can have a good future in the future, if the child is useless, even the prince and Sun Yueyao may not be able to look at it.

Zhuang Ruolan sighed: "What does the master think?"

Ma Peng smiled: "You think too much, what can you think." You go over and mention it to Yueyao tomorrow to see if you can let Brother Min learn from Mr. Min as well. Ma Peng wants his son to try his skills next year, and with Mr. Min's guidance, he hopes to get a good ranking.

Zhuang Ruolan knows that there are some things that don't need to be said explicitly, as long as Brother Min is good, Yueyao will pay attention sooner or later, of course, it doesn't matter if Yueyao doesn't pay attention, it is also of great benefit to her son to learn from Mr. Min: "Master, what about Congpei?"

Ma Peng thought for a while and said: "You can help each other take a look first, pick a good person, and wait for the filial piety period to finalize his marriage, so as to save him from thinking nonsense there." "Since Cong Pei has a thought that he shouldn't have, he should cut off this thought as soon as possible.

Zhuang Ruolan hesitated a little: "Where is the father-in-law?"

Ma Peng waved his hand and said, "Dad, you don't have to worry about it, I'll say it when the time comes, when he gets married, let him get out!" Anyway, he has a lot of money in his hands, even if he doesn't do anything, he will have no worries about food and clothing in this life. "From this incident, Ma Peng can also see that there are a lot of smart people who are not very careful, so it is better to divide him as soon as possible, so that there will be less right and wrong in the future.

Although Zhuang Ruolan felt that it was not appropriate, it was Ma Peng who was in charge of the house, and since Ma Peng had spoken, she was not easy to object.

The next day, Zhuang Ruolan took her two daughters to Yuhua Hutong.

Kexin was very happy to hear the two cousins coming, Yueyao also knew her weakness, that is, she didn't go out to socialize, and she didn't even take her daughter to contact friends of the same age, Yueyao touched Kexin's head and said softly: "You accompany the two cousins back to talk!"

Ke Yue and Yan Qi also liked this little cousin, and after meeting Yue Yao, they went to the courtyard where Ke Xin lived.

Zhuang Ruolan asked Yueyao something about the coral tree this time: "Yueyao, it's not that I said you, you are just too generous, so the Lin family didn't take you seriously." ”

Yue Yao was reluctant to mention the Lin family, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, Ke Yue will be eighteen years old after the New Year, has the wedding date been set?"

Zhuang Ruolan said with a smile: "No! My grandmother and aunt said that they were not in a hurry, and that they would discuss the day after the filial piety. Although her husband is now idle at home because of his filial piety, the Guogong Mansion has not neglected because of this, so Zhuang Ruolan is not worried about anything wrong with this marriage.

Yue Yao's heart moved, it is also a great benefit to talk about the girl as a relative, if she knows the roots, she will not say it, and she will not turn her face when she encounters a little thing, Yue Yao smiled and said: "Yes! So I'm not worried about Keyue, Keyue will have a better life after getting married. ”

Zhuang Ruolan nodded and said, "Yes!" So I'm not worried about Ke Yue, I'm worried about Yanqi now! I'll be sixteen years later, and I have to hurry up to find my in-laws. ”

Yue Yao laughed: "When you decide on Yanqi's marriage, you have to start worrying about the marriage of the three brothers of viagra again, and when the children are married, you have to start worrying about the next life. "Only when I became a parent did I know that it was not so easy to let go.

Zhuang Ruolan also smiled: "Who said it wasn't!" Yueyao, I have something to beg you for this time. Zhuang Ruolan said what she wanted Brother Min to let Mr. Min point out.

Yue Yao didn't dare to admit it: "I have to ask Mr. Min about this." "Mr. Min is not like ordinary gentlemen, I still asked the other party's opinion on this matter first.

The two talked for a long time, and Zhuang Ruolan hesitated.

Yue Yao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you can say anything you want." Yueyao thought that Zhuang Ruolan was embarrassed by something, and it was difficult to speak.

Zhuang Ruolan thought about it for a while, but still told Ma Chengpeng about wanting Kexin to be her granddaughter-in-law: "Yueyao, I'm also giving you a reminder." With Zhuang Ruolan's understanding of Yueyao, even if Ma Chengpeng mentioned this matter, she would not agree to it if she wanted Yueyao, no matter how great the kindness Yueyao was, it was impossible to repay the child's lifelong events, of course, Zhuang Ruolan didn't feel that the Ma family had any great kindness to Yueyao, but the Ma family got a lot of help from Yueyao.

Yueyao was a little puzzled: "This is what my uncle said?" In Yueyao's mind, Ma Chengpeng wouldn't be so confused! To be a parent, not only pay attention to the right person, but also pay attention to matching! is smart, there is no aspect that is suitable for Kexin, how can my uncle open this mouth?

Zhuang Ruolan didn't hide it from Yueyao and told the matter carefully.

Yueyao was a little puzzled: "Impossible! If the age is quite Congpei, this thought is reasonable, but Congpei and Kexin are nine years apart! I'm afraid there's something going on here. "The two are the same age, and they can be said to be in love, what is the situation now? is purely based on interests, and feels that marrying Kexin can bring him a lot of benefits.

Yue Yao doesn't know much about Cong Pei, but she also knows that Cong Pei shouldn't be able to even calculate Ke Xin, I'm afraid that someone will give Cong Pei a trick.

Zhuang Ruolan had to admire Yueyao's acumen: "Well, this matter is inseparable from the Tang family. Although Ma Chengpeng didn't want Cong Pei to contact the people of the Tang family, but when the child grew up, Ma Chengpeng couldn't control many things.

Yue Yao smiled and said, "The Tang family is really unprofitable. "Yue Yao has nothing to be angry about in this matter, what others think is someone else's business, Kexin's marriage is naturally decided by their husband and wife, but it is not something that others can calculate if they want to.

Zhuang Ruolan saw that Yue Yao didn't care, and said a happy thing to Yue Yao with a smile: "I heard my master say that the war situation in the northwest has become clear, or it won't be long before the war in the northwest will end soon." Although Ma Peng kept filial piety at home, he did not relax in the affairs of the court.

Yue Yao's eyes lit up: "Really?" Although Xiang Wei and the big housekeeper would tell her about the war in the northwest, she knew that the northwest had been winning the war recently, but she didn't know that the war would end so well, and if the war was over, An Zhichen would also come back.

Zhuang Ruolan rarely saw Yueyao so emotionally exposed, but she also understood, after all, the husband and wife had been separated for six years: "This is what the master told me personally, there will be no mistake." ”

Yueyao said to herself: "That's good, that's good." "It's finally coming back, and she thinks she'll have to wait another two years!
