Lu Ying was stunned when she heard that Xiao Ma had chosen Liu Yan from Yongchang Bo Mansion for her. Although Lu Ying doesn't go out often, she also knows that the concubines of powerful families are not very promising.

Lu Ying hurriedly said: "Mother, why did you choose the Yongchang Mansion...... Lu Ying asked Xiao Ma to go and tell Ma Chengteng not to Yongchang Mansion.

Xiao Ma didn't think much about it, but he just felt that Yongchang Bofu was a powerful family, although he was a concubine, he was also a powerful family in the end, and it was good to have a reputation. But when he heard Lu Ying's analysis, he panicked at the moment. But if she wants to regret it, she will never succeed. Xiao Ma cried and said, "Ying'er, your uncle told your eldest cousin that if you are not satisfied with the marriage, let us go back to the Lu family." Let the people of the Lu family help you choose a family, Ying'er, no matter what, it is better than going back to the Lu family. ”

Lu Ying's eyes widened, those relatives of the Lu family were like wolves and tigers, if she returned to the Lu family, she would even be gnawed off the bones. Compared with returning to the Lu family, marrying into the Yongchang Bofu is better than returning to the Lu family. Lu Ying tried to convince herself.

Seeing this, the maids around Lu Ying were secretly anxious, if nothing else, they would all be married to Yahuan, and when the time came, they would be in danger of even their lives when they went to Yongchang Bo's Mansion. So Yahuan said next to him: "Girl, Yongchangbo has four sons, three of them are concubines, and there are twenty-one grandchildren. The slave maid heard that the Yongchang Bofu had long been unable to make ends meet, and even the daughter-in-law's dowry was greedy. ”

Xiao Ma trembled and said, "What? Even greedy for dowry? Xiao Ma thought that he would push his daughter into the fire pit himself, and he was in the mood to die.

The maid ring beside Lu Ying nodded and said: "This was four years ago, when Yongchangbo's wife wanted to steal the dowry of the sixth young lady, but the sixth young lady refused, so this matter came out, and the trouble was very big, and everyone in the capital knew about it." ”

When Xiao Ma heard this, she immediately cried loudly, "My son, why is it so miserable......" She thought it was a good family, but she didn't expect it to be a wolf's den.

Yahuan said on the side: "Girl, the eldest lady is kind, the girl went to ask the eldest lady!" Maybe it will be useful. "Hurry up and correct the mistake before it's settled.

Lu Ying immediately stood up and went to find Zhuang Ruolan.

Zhuang Ruolan didn't expect Xiao Ma to really choose Yongchang Bofu, seeing that Lu Ying was crying so much that her makeup was spent, Zhuang Ruolan sighed slightly, "You are not satisfied with this, you are not satisfied with that, what do you want me to do?" Although the He family is a merchant family, the merchant family has the benefits of the merchant family, and they don't dare to bully you if you marry in the past. Zhuang Ruolan told the pros and cons of the other two families. Zhuang Ruolan is willing to analyze with Lu Ying one by one, and she also hopes to give Lu Ying one last chance.

Lu Ying was already stunned at this time, four candidates, Yongchangbo was the first to exclude, and the landlord Lao Cai was the second to be excluded, but she didn't know which family to choose, which family to choose, and there must be gold and silver for a lifetime, but if you choose the other family, if you stay up for two years, maybe there will be a phoenix crown.

Zhuang Ruolan didn't help Lu Ying choose, she just analyzed the pros and cons to Lu Ying, and how to choose it also depends on Lu Ying.

Lu Ying is not a brainless person, but she has always had the psychology of comparison, which made her get into the tip of the horns, and now the cruel reality made her sober up, and suddenly asked: "Sister-in-law, what is the situation of the Zhang family." ”

Zhuang Ruolan focused on Zhang Mingcheng, "The third son of the Zhang family is only fifteen years old this year, and he was a Xiucai two years ago, your eldest cousin inquired, the third son of the Zhang family is a good learner, as long as he works hard, he will definitely be able to go to school." Moreover, you say that the third son of the Zhang family has a gentle temperament and a good character. Zhuang Ruolan didn't say anything, although Ma Peng didn't like Lu Ying very much, he wouldn't push her into the fire pit.

Lu Ying finally gritted her teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, I choose the third son of the Zhang family." "She is not willing to marry into a merchant's family when she dies, and once she becomes a merchant's wife, not only will she be a dwarf, but her future children and grandchildren will also be dwarfs.

Zhuang Ruolan didn't express any opinion and said, "Are you sure?" If it is confirmed, I will ask someone to call back to the Zhang family, and I will come to the door to change the Geng post in two days, and then the marriage cannot be changed. "If you change the Geng post, you will be in eight characters, and in the end, you will go through the established procedures, and the marriage will be decided.

Lu Ying didn't want to agree, but the situation is stronger than people, and marrying into the Zhang family is better than marrying into the other three families.

When Ma Chengteng heard Lu Ying's final choice, although he was dissatisfied with Lu Ying's choice, it was a matter related to Lu Ying's life, and he also obeyed Lu Ying.

Yue Yao knew that Lu Ying had chosen the Zhang family, but she was a little surprised, "I remember that the Zhang family's family background is average?" How did Lu Ying choose the Zhang family? "As far as Yueyao knows, among the four candidates, the only advantage of the Zhang family is that Zhang Mingcheng has a reputation for showing talent.

Master Zhang is from the official position of Qipin, and has four sons and two daughters, the four sons are all concubines, and the two daughters are concubines. From the official position of the seventh grade in a small place, it may be possible to walk sideways, but in this place in the capital, from the official position of the seventh grade, it is really impossible to find it in the crowd. In addition, Master Zhang is in Qingshui Yamen again, the Zhang family has such a large population, and life is very poor, it is said that even the Zhang family's house is rented, and it is difficult for Lu Ying to choose such a family, not to surprise Yueyao.

Xiang Wei said: "Girl, if you have such idle time, why don't you practice two more words!" "If it was Yueyao's matter, he would definitely let people inquire carefully and carefully, but Lu Ying's matter, he didn't have this time!

Yue Yao smiled, but really went to the study to practice calligraphy.

Tang's was a little surprised by Lu Ying's choice of the Zhang family, "I didn't expect it, but I still have a bit of brains." "If you want the Tang family to choose, she will definitely choose the Zhang family as well. The third son of the Zhang family is a high-performance stock, and in the future, his status will be completely different.

Su Zhu said hesitantly: "Madam, the Zhang family is very poor. ”

Tang said with a smile: "My little aunt still has a lot of money in her hands, and when Lu Ying marries her father-in-law in the future, she will definitely not treat her badly." As far as she knows, Xiao Ma's has a small grange of hundreds of acres outside the capital, and there is a two-entry house in the capital, which cannot be compared with the Ma family, but with these dowries, marrying into the Zhang family is enough to gain a firm foothold.

Su Zhu nodded.

Lu Ying agreed, and Xiao Ma naturally had nothing to say.

Tang hoped that Lu Ying's marriage would be confirmed as soon as possible, so she would regret it again, so she moved quickly, and let people go out to the Zhang family that afternoon. Then it is to go through the established procedure, and the speed of the procedure is very fast, and after the order, you have to choose the day of marriage.

The Zhang family meant to marry at the end of the year, and the two families negotiated, and finally the date of marriage with the consent of Ma Chengteng was chosen on the 26th of the first month.

After the marriage, Lu Ying no longer studied with Mama, but with the Tang housekeeper. Tang took Lu Ying with him and occasionally pointed out, but where it mattered, he let Lu Ying grope for himself.

Zhuang Ruolan shook her head when she heard it, Tang's behavior was not wrong, but it was not intentional, but Lu Ying didn't like Zhuang Ruolan, so she didn't care too much, just ordered the color painting and said: "Let the mother-in-law Yahuan around you mention Miss Ying more, otherwise if you marry into the Zhang family, you will make a joke, and the Ma family will have it." ”

The color painting said: "Girl, although the third son of the Zhang family said that he was talented, he was not talented, and now he is the second lady, why should the lady do such a thing!" ”

Zhuang Ruolan shook her head and said, "It's just a matter of doing things according to your heart." If she wanted to covet Lu Ying's return, she wouldn't have taken care of Lu Ying for a long time. I just think it's not easy for my daughter's family, and if I can help it, I can help it.

The person who went on a business trip to Hengyang came back, and this time it was Ma Chengteng who led the team, but Ma Chengteng said that he was sick, so he changed to an official surnamed Bu. Although this official was not promoted, ordinary officials would make a fortune when they went down. This is not a bribe, but the officials who go down will have it, and it is mostly the filial piety of the officials below.

Ma Chengteng didn't pay attention to this, Master Xuantian said that he should not travel far, money can be without it, but life is more important!

On this day, the Ma family received an invitation from the Shen family, and it was the Shen family who invited the people of the Ma family to attend Mrs. Mu's birthday banquet.

Zhuang Ruolan is pregnant now, so it is naturally impossible to attend someone else's birthday banquet, but such an opportunity is rare, so let Tang go, and also bring Ma Linlin. Ma Linlin is also thirteen years old this year, and she has studied well for more than a year, so she can be released to participate in socializing.

The Tang family sent someone to invite Yue Yao over, and said to Yue Yao: "The day after tomorrow, we are going to attend the birthday banquet of Mrs. Mu Jia, you can make preparations." ”

Yue Yao frowned and said, "The Mu family didn't give me an invitation. "Yueyao means that the Shen family didn't give her a separate invitation, and she won't follow the Tang family to the Mu family.

Tang Shi was stunned, she didn't expect Yueyao to be reluctant to go, and talked to Yueyao for a while, but unfortunately it didn't make sense, Yueyao just said two words, don't go.

Yue Yao stood up and said, "Cousin-in-law, if there is nothing else, I will go back." "The Mu family didn't give her a post, if she followed the Tang family to the Shen family, it would be a very face-saving thing. Mu thought she would be in a hurry, but she was really wrong.

Tang Shi watched Yue Yao go out and didn't speak for a while, and when he came back to his senses, Tang shook his head and said, "I don't know who is used to it." "This Shen family is not another family, it is Yueyao's future husband's family, if you don't give face to your future mother-in-law, you will definitely be disgusted by your husband's family when the time comes. Tang originally thought that Yueyao was a very transparent person, but he didn't expect that he was also a fool.

Su Zhu said: "Madam, since Miss Yao doesn't appreciate it, just follow her." ”

Tang shook his head and said, "I have to talk to the eldest lady about this matter." "Yueyao is very fond of Zhuang Ruolan, and Zhuang Ruolan still told her about this matter.
