Ma Linlin sat down and looked at Yue Yao, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Cousin, is your painting really worth a thousand taels of silver?" In fact, Ma Linlin wanted to come over the day after Yueyao came back, but she couldn't leave it behind and was embarrassed to come.

Yue Yao smiled: "Cousin, why do you ask this?" I just love painting, and I don't sell paintings, not to mention that there are rumors outside that a pair of 1,000 taels of silver is 10,000 taels a pair, and I won't sell the paintings. ”

Ma Linlin didn't want to ask for a painting, she just wanted to see Yueyao's painting, but seeing Yueyao's faint expression, she couldn't open her mouth again.

Lu Ying was able to pull down her face and said, "Cousin, can you draw me a picture?" "If you can ask for a painting of Yueyao, you can still take it out and sell it for silver when the time comes.

Yue Yao frowned, but before Yue Yao could speak, Ma Linlin frowned and said, "You don't believe in the Bodhisattva on weekdays, what do you want the Bodhisattva statue to do?" ”

Lu Ying choked suddenly.

Ma Linlin couldn't stay any longer, so she stood up and said, "Yueyao, let's go, if you are free on weekdays, you can come and play with me." ”

Yue Yao smiled: "Okay." On weekdays, my cousin can also come over if she has free time. But I'm more boring, and my cousin shouldn't think I'm bored when the time comes. "Yueyao didn't like Ma Linlin before, also because she didn't like her temperament. Now that Ma Linlin has become better, she is naturally happy to accept her overtures. In the same mansion, there is no need to fight for blood every day.

Ma Linlin laughed so hard when she heard this, "How could it be! I'm afraid of disturbing my cousin, who is so busy every day. ”

It was a very pleasant meeting.

Yueyao had dinner and went to the main room to see Zhuang Ruolan and told her about Ma Linlin. Yueyao said: "Cousin-in-law, I think my cousin has changed a lot now than before, and she is getting better and better. Ma Yue has improved, Ma Linlin has also improved, and Yueyao feels that the Ma family really has a sign of prosperity.

Zhuang Ruolan smiled and said to the painting: "Prepare two generous gifts for Mr. and Grandma, just say that they have worked hard to teach the girl." "Mr. Houli and Grandma will be more and more dedicated.

Zhuang Ruolan will be in a better state, and let Yueyao accompany him to paint, and what he said is also about the Ma family, and naturally he also talked about Lu Ying's marriage. Lu Ying is fifteen years old this year, and most of the girls of this age are married.

Zhuang Ruolan said: "I've had severe morning sickness recently, where can I still have the energy to care about this." There are two good candidates for your second cousin-in-law, but they are both merchants, and your father-in-law doesn't think it's very good. ”

Yue Yao said with a smile: "Uncle also has concerns, and it has a bad reputation for marrying his niece to a merchant's house. Cousin-in-law, I think I can let my uncle and cousin help find the right person, and when the time comes, the family history of several candidates will be clearly written and left to my cousin to decide. ”

Zhuang Ruolan smiled: "I think so too." ”

Lu Ying's situation is not looked down upon by people who want to marry people with good family backgrounds, and neither can Lu Ying, who is a petty official or something. The merchant has a good family background but his status is too low, and Lu Ying is unwilling to marry, so Zhuang Ruolan feels that Lu Ying's marriage is very troublesome, but Ma Chengteng is in a hurry, and the two daughters-in-law are embarrassed.

When Yueyao returned to Begonia Garden, she met Tang's family, said hello and went back.

Tang looked at Yueyao's back and shook his head.

Su Zhu whispered: Speaking of which, Miss Yao is really powerful, even King Duan and Princess Duan can build momentum for Miss Yao, it's really not easy. Su Zhu didn't think that Yueyao's paintings were worth a thousand taels of silver, he felt that it must be King Duan and Princess Duan who liked Yueyao to lift him.

Tang Shi smiled, she was really reckless about what happened last time, but it was too late to regret it after it had been done. Tang smiled: "Let's go back!" ”

After Yueyao came back, many people gave her posts, but Yueyao rejected all of them, so that the housekeeper's Tang family couldn't do anything and found Zhuang Ruolan.

Tang's face was worried, "Sister-in-law, the people who gave Yueyao posts are all powerful people, and it won't be good if Yueyao doesn't offend them." "What the Tang family is most worried about is that Yue Yao will not offend these people, and when the time comes, she will implicate the Ma Mansion.

Zhuang Ruolan didn't look at those invitations either, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister are too worried, it will be fine." "Where would the officials of the imperial court retaliate against the Ma family because a little girl did not go to the banquet, if the pattern of the imperial court officials is so small, this imperial court must not be chaotic.

Tang walked away with sorrow.

Zhuang Ruolan shook her head, she has been getting along for more than a year, and the Tang family is all good, but the utilitarianism is too strong, so it's no wonder that Yueyao doesn't like it. But fortunately, the matter is divided into important things, otherwise it will be a big trouble.

Ma Chengteng finally considered it and chose two people. One is selected by Ma Peng, the heir of the official eunuch family, the other party has a talent and fame, ranking third, and his family background is average. One is selected by the Tang family, a merchant family, the eldest son, and the family has thousands of family wealth.

Ma Chengteng actually prefers that talent candidate, he is a talent now, and he will be admitted to the examination in the future, and it will be good to find another errand when the time comes. It's just that Ma Chengteng followed Ma Peng's suggestion and chose the two of them to Lu Ying and let her choose by herself.

As Zhuang Ruolan expected, Lu Ying was dissatisfied with both families.

Ma Chengteng heard that Lu Ying's two families were not satisfied, and his face turned ugly. Ma Chengteng said to Ma Yue: "You ask your daughter-in-law to ask her what kind of family she wants to find." "Lu Ying's conditions are placed there, if it weren't for the face of the Ma family, these two families would not be able to find it.

Tang asked Lu Ying, but Lu Ying didn't say. In the end, Tang had no choice but to say: "If you don't say anything, your eldest cousin and I don't know how to choose for you." If you delay your flowering and apricot period in this way, you will miss it for life at that time. ”

When Tang's patience was about to run out, Lu Ying said squirmished that she didn't dare to seek a family affair as good as Yueyao, but she hoped it wouldn't be too bad.

Tang's concentration was good, but he was also stunned when he heard what Lu Ying revealed. Tang couldn't express her mood at this time, she knew that Lu Ying's heart was very big, but she had to have a degree of heart! What kind of family is the Shen family, Lord Shen's official position is higher than that of his father-in-law, and the second son of the Shen family is also very famous in the capital, not to mention the future is also a splendid future, not to mention that Lu Ying can't talk about such a family affair, even Ma Linlin, the concubine, will not be able to say such a good family affair in the future. Yueyao can say that such a good family is also her father's ability at the beginning, if Yue Yao is now, she will definitely not be able to say this family.

After Su Zhu returned to the courtyard with Tang, he said, "Miss Ying really dares to think about it. ”

Tang felt that Lu Ying's brain was full of tofu dregs, "Those who have brains don't dare to think about it, only people without brains will think so." ”

Tang thought that if she followed Lu Ying's idea, she would not be able to marry for the rest of her life. She directly looked for Zhuang Ruolan and told Zhuang Ruolan about Lu Ying's thoughts, "Sister-in-law, I think we can't do anything about her marriage, so let's tell my father-in-law!" ”

Zhuang Ruolan was also speechless, "Tell my father-in-law, things will still fall on us at that time." Color, you ask someone to call Miss Ying over. "Of course, I have to say it, but I still have to think of a solution.

Zhuang Ruolan is now glad that it is not Ma Linlin who is pumping her brain, Lu Ying is just a cousin, and she is also an unpopular cousin, the Ma family will prepare a dowry to marry her off, as for whether she is doing well or not, it depends on herself.

Zhuang Ruolan didn't slowly probe Lu Ying's thoughts like the Tang family, she said directly: "You are not satisfied with the two families, what kind of people do you want when you go to the ground?" ”

Lu Ying's face flushed, she had already told her second cousin-in-law just now, why did she still ask now.

Caihua said: "My wife is suffering from morning sickness now, and she has to give Miss Ying Zhang Luo a marriage, and you don't want to choose the candidate, and you don't want to say what kind of family you want, our wife can't afford such torture." Miss Ying is not afraid of delay, so let's wait until our lady gives birth. ”

Lu Ying said his thoughts again.

The color painting looks at Lu Ying as if he is a neuropath, and it is one thing to hear Tang just now, and it is another thing to hear it with his own ears.

Zhuang Ruolan said lightly: "You said you want to find a marriage similar to Yueyao?" ”

Lu Ying lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes with one hand.

Zhuang Ruolan doesn't have so many scruples like the Tang family, "If you want to marry, don't be whimsical, if you don't want to marry, you can also say it directly, saving you a waste of effort." Zhuang Ruolan actually vaguely felt that Lu Ying wanted to compare with Yueyao, but she didn't pay attention to it, but she didn't expect Lu Ying to be so blind that she even had to compare her family affairs with Yueyao.

Lu Ying raised her head and said, "Cousin-in-law, I didn't expect to marry into a family like the Shen family, and it's almost okay." ”

Zhuang Ruolan laughed, "Almost? How much worse? Yueyao's family affair was set for her when her uncle was alive. Don't talk about you, even the eldest girl will not be able to talk about such a good family affair in the future, if you don't want to marry, forget it, if you want to marry, say some practical requirements. ”

Lu Ying gritted her teeth and said, "I want to find an official eunuch, not a merchant." "Of course, the eunuchs can't be too poor.

Zhuang Ruolan said: "You mean that you want to find someone with an official position." Seeing that Lu Ying bowed her head and was silent, Zhuang Ruolan said with a smile: "Those who have official positions are either married or married, and it is impossible for you to find them." "Of course, there is another kind of person who is neither married nor married, but has an official position, but this kind of person is not comparable to Lu Ying.

Lu Ying looked at Zhuang Ruolan with a pleading in her eyes, "Cousin-in-law......"

Zhuang Ruolan said: "To be a man should be down-to-earth, think about it yourself!" If you can figure it out, I'll ask your second cousin-in-law to give you Zhang Luo, if you can't figure it out, this matter can only be handed over to your father-in-law to deal with. "They are just cousins, not mothers-in-law, where will they work hard for her. If it weren't for Ma Chengteng's orders, she wouldn't be willing to be so uncomfortable and take care of Lu Ying's affairs.
