Ma Chengteng came back from the yamen and heard that the Marquis of Yongding's mansion came to the door to ask for the prince of Yongding, and there were a few fewer wrinkles on his forehead for joy.

Ma Chengteng smiled, and when he heard that Zhuang Ruolan didn't agree on the spot, he hurriedly said: "This is a good thing that fell from the sky, why shouldn't you come down at that time?" Forget it, I'll go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion in person tomorrow, no, I'll go now. "Such a good marriage, it is decided quickly, and if it is too late to be taken by others, it will be regretted.

Although Ma Peng thinks that this is a good family business, it is too good, the so-called abnormal thing is a demon, Ma Peng is more cautious: "Dad, let's inquire clearly, and see why Yongdinghou will come to the door to ask for relatives!" "If you don't know why the Marquis of Yongding Mansion came to the door to marry Yueyao, Ma Peng feels that this marriage must take a wait-and-see attitude. Marriage is a lifelong event, and if you take one wrong step, your life will be ruined.

Ma Chengteng felt that Ma Peng thought too much: "Such a good marriage, it can't be found with a lantern, what's so much to think about, people also take a fancy to your cousin, do you think your cousin has anything else to make the Yongding Marquis Mansion plot?" ”

Ma Peng thinks it makes sense when he thinks about it, but he is more cautious: "Dad, Yueyao has always had an idea, and we still listen to her." ”

Ma Chengteng felt that he didn't need to ask, such a good marriage, unless his brain was pumped, he would refuse: "Don't ask her, I'm in charge of this matter." ”

Zhuang Ruolan said weakly: "Father, I asked Yueyao just now. Yueyao didn't agree, so I refused the marriage. ”

Ma Chengteng almost didn't mention it in one breath, and his voice increased several times when he spoke: "What? Yueyao didn't agree? If she doesn't agree to such a good marriage, what is she going to do? ”

Ma Peng was calmer: "Dad, Yueyao has always been assertive. If she doesn't agree, there must be a reason for not agreeing. Dad, you better ask Yueyao why she didn't agree first! ”

Ma Chengteng shouted loudly: "Someone, hurry up and invite the cousin girl over!" "Such a good thing, why didn't this stupid girl agree.

Yue Yao said very calmly: "Uncle, I don't agree to this marriage. ”

Ma Chengteng was so anxious that his white hair came out: "You stupid boy, do you know that the door of Yongdinghou is about to be broken by the person who said he is close to him." The prince of Yongding Hou is both civil and military, his status is noble, he is also extremely modest, and his temperament is good. Yueyao, this is a good marriage that can't be found with a lantern, can't you be confused at this time? "After this village, there is no such shop.

Seeing Ma Chengteng's anxious expression, Yue Yao's heart warmed: "Uncle, I know that you are good for me, and I also know that this is an excellent marriage." If I agree to this marriage, when I marry into the Hou Mansion, I will enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life. ”

Seeing Yueyao's expression, Ma Chengteng's mood eased a lot: "Since you know, why don't you agree to this marriage." ”

Yue Yao said slowly, "Uncle, I want to be like Mr. Yushan. No matter how good the son of Yongding Hou is, I will not marry. Because the Yongding Marquis Mansion is too complicated, if I marry into the Yongding Marquis Mansion, I will not have time to paint anymore. ”

Ma Chengteng immediately calmed down because of Yueyao's words: "Yueyao, do you know or not, if you have such an idea, it will be difficult to ......" It is difficult to marry Ma Chengteng can't speak.

Yue Yao smiled faintly: "Uncle, Mr. Yushan said that as long as I can keep persevering, it won't take me ten years to reach his height." "Yueyao means that as long as she is given time, she can also become a world-famous painter.

Zhuang Ruolan was extremely shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that Yue Yao's goal would be so ambitious. No wonder she has been kissing her for half a year, she is light and light, and she doesn't care at all.

Ma Chengteng's mouth was dry: "Yueyao, the girl's family is always going to get married!" You can't afford to miss your life just because you love to paint. ”

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "Uncle, if I can occupy a place in the painting world, I will definitely be famous for eternity in the future." On the contrary, if I want to be trapped in the inner house after I get married, it will be a waste of my life. Yueyao's attitude was very resolute.

Ma Chengteng shook his head and said, "No, it will never work." "Where can he not marry because of painting, he will not agree no matter what.

Yue Yao said with a smile: "Uncle, life is just a few decades in a hurry, it has passed in the blink of an eye, and I think it is very meaningful to be able to work hard for my ideals." Let me get married, and in the future, I will be fed in the management of my husband's family, and I will teach my husband and children, which will make me more uncomfortable than death. ”

Xiang Wei saw that the scene was at an impasse, and hurriedly interjected: "Master, master, it's not that the girl doesn't marry, it's just that complicated people are not considered." If the population is simple, there is nothing to do at home, or people, you can still consider it. ”

Ma Chengteng seemed to have caught a ray of light: "Yueyao, what she said is true?" ”

Yue Yao nodded: "Well, the Yongding Marquis Mansion is too complicated, and I am not suitable." If the family background is simple and the person is good, I will not reject it. "If you bite to death and don't marry, maybe your uncle immediately agreed to the marriage of the Marquis of Yongding, it would be terrible.

Ma Peng hurriedly accosted Zhuang Ruolan and asked: "Ruolan, I heard that the Marquis of Yongding likes beauties, is the Marquis of Yongding's Mansion more chaotic?" After speaking, he glanced at his wife and asked her to make the situation of the Marquis of Yongding more serious, so that her father might hesitate.

Zhuang Ruolan got her husband's hint, nodded and said, "There are many rights and wrongs in the backyard of high-ranking families. In addition to Mrs. Yongdinghou in the backyard, there are two side rooms and eight aunts, and the number of people in the room is not clear. In addition to the son of the prince, Yongding Hou also has nine sons and four daughters, and some time ago I heard that Yongding Hou has two more concubines who are pregnant. In addition, there are a total of six brothers in Yongdinghou's generation, two of whom are from four concubines. Although it was separated, it was still very frequent. I heard that Mrs. Yongding Hou is very unkind to see these people. "These people who are separated generally have a hard time, so they will often come to the door to fight the autumn breeze.

Ma Cheng Tengguang thought that Guan Jingxuan was a good one, and suddenly forgot about Yongdinghou, a beautiful family.

Ma Peng thought more long-term, and said with a frown: "I heard that the Marquis of Yongding often spends a lot of money, and he is extremely willing to spend flowers on those concubines. He wondered if the problem was here.

The husband and wife still have a very tacit understanding, Zhuang Ruolan nodded after listening to it and said: "The Yongding Hou Mansion spends money like flowing water, and the Hou Mansion only has money, no input, and what has been eaten over the years is the old foundation." I heard that the Yongding Marquis Mansion Yinnian ate the rent of the Mao New Year, and it was already an empty shelf. ”

Yue Yao's brows twitched. She just felt that the Yongding Marquis Mansion was troublesome, but she didn't expect the Yongding Marquis Mansion to be poor.

Ma Chengteng hesitated when he heard this. He is not good at housekeeping, but he also knows that in the past few years, because of his lavish spending, the mansion money was also relatively tight. In the past few years, thanks to the daughter-in-law's good management, the family has improved. This Yongding Hou is more powerful than him, there are a bunch of women in the backyard, and there are a lot of concubines, this calculation, the Hou Mansion may really be in vain.

At this time, Ma Peng frowned and said, "Could it be that the Marquis of Yongding Mansion is playing with Yueyao's dowry?" "When my aunt got married, it was one hundred and twenty-eight dowry, and my uncle has accumulated a lot of family assets, and Yueyao will definitely bring a rich dowry when she marries in the future. The Hou Mansion has long been an empty shelf, and when the time comes, it will definitely hit the idea of Yueyao's dowry.

Ma Chengteng was upset by what his son and daughter-in-law said, and the excited smile just now dissipated: "This matter has to be considered in the long run." Go back first! Ma Chengteng must have to inquire clearly, but he can't push such a good marriage with a few words from his son and daughter-in-law.

Yueyao went out with Zhuang Ruolan, and Ma Peng still stayed in the study: "Dad, the Yongding Marquis Mansion is not only an empty shelf, but the backyard is so complicated, with Yueyao's temperament, she can't be eaten alive by them when she arrives at the Yongding Marquis Mansion." Dad, this marriage must not be agreed. Originally, Ma Peng was also a little hesitant, but his wife's words just now made him decide that the Yongding Marquis Mansion had bad intentions.

Ma Chengteng said impatiently: "I know, I'll think about it." "This broken child, it seems that he loves Yueyao.

Ma Chengteng thought about it in the study for a while, and then left the mansion, as for what he did, it is unknown.

Zhuang Ruolan sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect Yueyao to have such ambitions." She didn't expect Yueyao to want to be famous for eternity, for Zhuang Ruolan, who aspires to her husband and children to be on the kang, Yueyao's ambitions are too ambitious.

Ma Peng was a little regretful: "It's a pity, if Yueyao is a man, it would be perfect." ”

Zhuang Ruolan said worriedly: "Husband, if Yueyao really has such an idea, it will be difficult to find a suitable one. "It's not difficult to find the population of the family, but it's difficult to see Yueyao. This ordinary person, can Yue Yao look at it? Definitely can't look at it.

Ma Peng sighed slightly: "If it's an ordinary girl, you can still be forced to marry." But Yueyao has always been very assertive, and we can't force it. Let it be, if you find the right one, it's good to be natural, if you don't find the right one, you can afford to raise her for a lifetime. ”

Zhuang Ruolan laughed when she heard this: "Husband, if Yueyao becomes a person like Mr. Yushan, do you still need to raise her?" At that time, Yueyao is willing to live in Mafu, which is a big face. ”

Ma Peng smiled.

When Yue Yao returned to Begonia Garden, she asked Xiang Wei to settle the account: "I don't believe you don't know the details of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, why don't you tell me first?" ”

Xiang Wei said lazily: "Anyway, you are determined not to marry Guan Jingxuan, and the result is not the same." ”

Yue Yao was sullen.

Xiang Wei looked at Yueyao's appearance and laughed: "Girl, you probably know in your heart that as long as you reject the proposal of the Marquis of Yongding, no one will come to the door to propose marriage in the future." "Yue Yao even refused a talented person like Guan Jingxuan, who else would dare to come to the door to propose marriage? It must have scared everyone away.

Yueyao didn't want to entangle with Xiang Wei anymore, and was going to go to the study to read.

Xiang Wei wanted to tell Yueyao a clear understanding: "Girl, if there is a family background that matches in the future, has good ability, has a simple family population, and loves you, it will not hinder you from studying painting, girl, if there is such a person, will you marry at that time?" Xiang Wei just asked Yueyao for a promise, and she would work hard when she could, and Yueyao would shirk it when the time came.

Yueyao looked at Xiang Wei: "Where to find such a person?" If there is such a person, she will naturally consider it.

Xiang Wei was too lazy to go around in circles with Yueyao: "I only ask you, if there is really such a candidate, will you marry?" I still have to find all kinds of excuses to shirk it. ”

Yue Yao was a little suspicious and didn't immediately answer Xiang Wei's words. She knew that Xiang Wei never said boring words, and after thinking for a long time, Yueyao nodded and said, "If this person looks pleasing to the eye, I have no reason to refuse." "If you want to find such a person, it is difficult to climb to the sky!

Xiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: "Girl, the gentleman has a lot of money, you remember what you said, and don't regret it when the time comes." ”

Yue Yao smiled: "Don't worry, I won't regret it." ”
