Zhuang Ruolan was not ready to go to the foreign office together, but now that it has been decided, things must be cleaned up again.

Ma Peng smiled: "I took over in mid-June. There is still more than a month, and the road from Beijing to Shandong is also easy to walk, we have plenty of time and are not in a hurry. ”

Zhuang Ruolan said with a smile: "If you go this time, you will not be able to come back until at least three years later." Not only do you have to pack up what you bring with you, but you also have to tidy up what you don't use. ”

Ma Peng threw it away at the moment, and he couldn't take care of these trivial things. He is about to leave, and he has been very busy lately, handing over his errands during the day and drinking and socializing with colleagues and friends at night.

Tang knew that Zhuang Ruolan was leaving, and was very surprised: "Why does a good sister-in-law want to follow her to the post?" Tang's accident was because at the beginning of the year, Tang knew that Ma Peng was going to seek a foreign appointment, and during this time, Tang looked at Zhuang Ruolan's style and didn't seem to have any intention of going to office, and he didn't know why he changed his mind.

Su Zhu said: "Where can this eldest daughter-in-law follow her to the outside office, what should I do about the inside and outside of this mansion?" "When the time comes, it's all going to be pushed to her master.

Tang shook his head and said, "There is not much going on in the mansion, it's nothing." The father-in-law agreed, and her younger brother and sister naturally had no position to speak.

Zhuang Ruolan was instructing people to seal the things that were not used in boxes, and a maid outside came over with a pale face and said, "Madam, there is a matchmaker who claims to be surnamed Diao and comes to the door to say goodbye to Miss Yao." ”

Zhuang Ruolan hurriedly asked Caiyun to invite this matchmaker to the banquet living room, and she went to see the matchmaker after changing her clothes.

As soon as Mrs. Diao saw Zhuang Ruolan, she said with a smile: "Mrs. Ma, I am very happy!" ”

Zhuang Ruolan was suspicious in her heart, the matchmaker naturally came to the door to kiss, but the matchmaker's happy expression was like that? Are they sure that they should answer this marriage? Zhuang Ruolan smiled and said, "I don't know what my mother means by this?" Where does the joy come from? ”

Diao Matchmaker smiled: "Naturally, the house is overjoyed." Mrs. Yongding Marquis wanted to marry the three girls of the Lian family for the prince, and Mrs. said that this was a great joy? ”

Zhuang Ruolan's quality has always been very good, but Rao is so, and she was also taken aback by Diao's words: "Mom, isn't she joking?" "Who is the prince of Yongding? It was a civil and military double jinshi who was rumored to be in the capital, how could the Marquis of Yongding come to the door to marry Yue Yao for him.

In Diao's opinion, this marriage must be successful, and the matchmaker's money is naturally proper: "Mrs. Ma, I have been a matchmaker for more than 20 years, but I have a good reputation, where would I laugh at such a big event." ”

Zhuang Ruolan still thinks that this matter is not very reliable, although she is not going out to handle Ma Linlin's marriage these days, but she still knows a lot about the affairs of the capital, as far as Zhuang Ruolan knows, it seems that King Duan intends to marry the prince of Wanhe to the prince of Yongding: "Mom, is it really Mrs. Yongding who dragged you to marry our Yueyao for the prince of Yongding?" ”

Diao Matchmaker smiled: "Naturally, it is true. Mrs. Ma, the prince of Yongding Hou is both civil and military, and even the girl is both talented and beautiful, the two are really a match made in heaven! "Diao Matchmaker thinks that this marriage must be no problem. It's like pie in the sky, and there's no reason not to pick it up.

If the Marquis of Yongding asked to marry someone else's girl, Zhuang Ruolan might say a good fortune, but when it was Yueyao's turn, Zhuang Ruolan had to think more.

Zhuang Ruolan said with a smile: "I'm tired of my mother and Mrs. Yongdinghou, this matter can only be decided when my grandfather and my master come back." After speaking, Zhuang Ruolan asked Caiyun to wrap twenty taels of silver and gave it to Diao Matchmaker. No matter what the purpose of Yongdinghou is, these matchmakers must not be offended.

Caiyun personally sent the matchmaker out: "Please forgive me, mother, you probably know about our Miss Cousin's situation." Such a good marriage suddenly fell, and our wife had to be cautious. ”

The matchmaker smiled and said, "This is nature. The matchmaker didn't think much about it, no matter what, the cousin-in-law couldn't call the shots. Of course, the main thing is that the rich red envelopes played a role, and she didn't let her go empty-handed, so it was naturally easy to speak.

Zhuang Ruolan hesitated a little, and it is not an exaggeration to say that under the conditions of the prince of Yongding, it is no problem to marry whatever she wants, why did she choose Yueyao? For others, this is a pie in the sky, but Zhuang Ruolan feels that this marriage is very inappropriate.

Yue Yao was also very surprised: "What? Mrs. Yongding Hou came to say kiss? ”

Zhuang Ruolan originally thought about whether Yueyao had anything to do with the Hou Shizi of Yongding, so that the Hou Shizi of Yongding fell in love with Yueyao, but now looking at Yueyao's expression, she immediately ruled out this possibility: "Yueyao, this is true." I just want to ask, what do you think? ”

Yue Yao said without thinking about it: "The prince of Yongding Hou is a dragon among people, I can't climb high, cousin-in-law, you can help me refuse!" ”

Although Zhuang Ruolan felt that this marriage was inappropriate, she never thought of rejecting this marriage. No matter what, this marriage is indeed exciting, but now seeing that Yueyao has pushed off such a good marriage without even thinking about it, Zhuang Ruolan doesn't know what to say.

Yue Yao said sincerely: "Cousin-in-law, I am not worthy of the prince of Yongding. Cousin-in-law, a high-door married daughter, a low-door married woman, but there is a huge difference between my status and that of Yongding Hou Shizi, and Yongding Hou Shizi is still a civil and military double jinshi, where can I climb high? Yueyao instinctively felt that there was something strange about this marriage.

Zhuang Ruolan hesitated: "The Marquis of Yongding can send a matchmaker to say goodbye, which shows its sincerity." If you refuse, it will be more and more difficult to talk about your family affairs at that time. ”

Yue Yao said nonchalantly: "Cousin-in-law, this kind of thing goes naturally. ”

Zhuang Ruolan couldn't make a decision on this matter, and said at the moment: "Wait for your uncle and eldest cousin to come back, see what they say?" ”

Yue Yao was worried: "This is good, how could the Marquis of Yongding come to the door to propose?" "Yue Yao really can't figure out what the people from the Yongding Marquis Mansion are going to do. This is not a good thing for Yueyao, but a trouble, a big trouble.

Xiang Wei was sober-minded: "Girl, if my guess is correct, it should be the idea of the prince of Yongding." ”

Yue Yao snorted: "Can't you?" His idea? ”

Xiang Wei deliberately teased Yueyao and said: "Maybe the prince of Yongdinghou has long been in love with the girl like Niu Yanghui, and now he has gained fame, so he persuaded Yongding Hou to come to the door to propose marriage." ”

Yue Yao almost rolled her eyes: "Do you believe this?" ”

Xiang Weile said: "Believe it! ”

Yue Yao couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "I believe you are a ghost!" It's not that you haven't seen Guan Jingxuan, do you think he has taken a fancy to me? "Essay collection, people became famous at the age of six; In terms of appearance, Guan Jingshuo looks like she is angry and resentful, and she has low self-esteem. And Yue Yao knows very well what it is like to like a person's eyes, so Yue Yao is very sure that Guan Jingshuo didn't look at it.

Xiang Wei couldn't laugh: "You, you, you're always confused." Where is this matter as complicated as you think, the reason why Guan Jingshuo let people come to the door to propose marriage is very simple. You have saved her life, and he wants to repay you for saving your life? ”

Yueyao couldn't help but complain: "I think the reason you said is even more." "She has a life-saving grace for Guan Jingxuan, but this is not a script, what kind of life-saving grace should be promised.

Xiang Wei restrained her smile and asked seriously: "Girl, then tell me, what is going on with your life-saving grace to Guan Jingxuan?" ”

Yueyao hesitated for a moment, and told Xiang Wei about the day. Without processing, Xiang Wei is such a keen person, when the time comes, ask a few more whys, Yueyao can't explain clearly.

After Yueyao finished speaking, she explained: "Guan Jingxuan's biological mother and my mother are good sisters, and when I was in Jiangnan, my mother often mentioned Aunt Yun, so when I saw Guan Jingshuo walking and had to be helped, I couldn't bear it, so I said a few more words." ”

After listening to Yue Yao's words, Xiang Wei couldn't help but look Yue Yao up and down.

Yueyao was horrified by Xiang Wei: "What are you doing?" ”

Xiang Wei smiled and said, "Girl, I began to believe that some people in Mafu said that you are a lucky star. If you hadn't met the girl, Guan Jingxuan would definitely be a cup of loess now, where is the current scenery? It is Guan Jingshuo's blessing to be able to meet the girl. Xiang Wei paused for a moment and said: "Speaking of which, your eldest cousin Ma Peng was super lucky, and he broke a big upset that day, girl, it should also be your credit, right?" ”

Yue Yao's quality in her heart was still good, and she nodded with a smile and responded: "Well, during the scientific examination that day, I gave my cousin a visit to Manjushri Bodhisattva and Wenqu Xingjun, and asked them to bless my cousin with a smooth scientific examination." ”

The corners of Xiang Wei's mouth twitched violently. If it is useful to worship Manjushri and Wenqu Xingjun, who doesn't worship it! But speaking of which, Xiang Wei really felt that Yue Yao was a very blessed person. The people around her are doing well.

Xiang Wei asked cautiously, "Girl, have you really decided to refuse this marriage?" Actually, I think this marriage is good! "Yue Yao has a life-saving grace for Guan Jingxuan, if she is willing to marry Guan Jingxuan, the position must be very solid. Although Mrs. Yongding Hou is a trouble, as long as her husband helps, it is easier to solve. Regardless of anything else, Xiang Wei felt that Guan Jingxuan was a very good candidate.

Yue Yao didn't even think about it, shook her head and said, "You should know how many concubines Yongding Hou has?" And how many more children! ”

Xiang Wei thought for a while and said: "I don't know how many concubines there are in the Yongding Marquis Mansion, but there seem to be thirteen children in the concubine, but this number is temporary. The reason why Xiang Wei said temporary is because the number is still growing.

Yue Yao smiled.

Xiang Wei thought that Yueyao was scrupling about Guan Jingxuan, and she was the same as Yongding Hou: "Girl, we have also seen Yongding Hou Shizi, he shouldn't be such a person!" "Guan Jingxuan is a strong-willed person, and his energy will definitely not be on women.

Yue Yao smiled, "You misunderstood what I meant. I mean that there are countless concubines in the Yongding Hou Mansion, and there are more than ten concubines, and if they really marry into the Hou Mansion, they will have to die of exhaustion in the future for their younger brothers and sisters to work hard for marriage. There is a ruthless stepmother, and you can imagine what those days were like. When you marry into the Hou Mansion, then all the time will be spent on those inconsequential things. Where do I have time to delve into the art of drawing! ”

Xiang Wei sighed, okay, in the girl's mind, painting is the most important thing, and her husband has to stand back.

Xiang Wei is really worried. The girl has been nagged by her for half a year, and the effect is a little, at least now the girl does not refuse to marry. But the conditions demanded by the girl were too harsh. I don't want complicated family backgrounds, because I don't have time to paint. But those simple family backgrounds made her unsatisfied, and the girl's marriage was really troublesome.
