Duo Yu noticed Hui Yu's gaze. asked, "What is the third sister looking at?" ”

Hui Yu withdrew her gaze. smiled: "It's nothing, just take a look." ”

The second aunt suddenly found a new continent and said, "Oh, the hairpin Duo Yu brought today is so beautiful." Newly made? ”

Hui Yu heard the words and took a closer look, Duo Yu's pinned hairpin has really not been seen, the main body of the golden hairpin is a few blooming peonies, with ruby petals, exquisite carving, gorgeous, and Duo Yu used to wear ornaments very different.

Duo Yu touched the golden hairpin with her hand and said, "A few days ago, my mother called the shopkeeper of Duobaolou to come over and choose ornaments for me, so I chose this one. Today is the first time I have worn it. ”

It turned out to be a newly made ornament, Hui Yu couldn't help but look at it twice, and felt quite unfamiliar, it should have been sent to Yurong Courtyard to select and then Xiu Xuanzhai, why didn't I seem to have seen it?

The second aunt said suddenly: "It turned out to be the ornament of Duobaolou, no wonder it is so different." It's just that your mother has always been stingy, why did she suddenly buy you such a valuable ornament? ”

Duo Yu said: "I just said that we are getting older, and we need some decent ornaments to come out and walk around, so I ordered someone to make it, and the third sister also has it." ”

The eldest and second aunts looked at Hui Yu at the same time, as if to find out if there were any new ornaments on her head.

Hui Yu hurriedly said: "Don't look at it, I picked a hosta, and I didn't bring it out today." ”

Duo Yu was puzzled: "How did the third sister choose the hosta, is it too plain?" ”

Hui Yu explained: "I haven't been out of filial piety yet, so naturally I can't wear such bright ornaments like you, the hosta is elegant and clean, which is the most suitable for me." ”

Somehow, Duo Yu seemed to be relieved when she heard this.

The second aunt said again: "No matter what, the ornaments of Duobaolou are always good, even if it is a simple hosta, there must be differences, and Sister Huiyu will wear it another day, so that we can feast our eyes." ”

Hui Yu responded.

The spread of rumors has naturally been heard by Qi Mansion.

Zeng was reluctant to go out these days, and those ladies and ladies looked at her with strange eyes, as if they were mocking her for finding a daughter-in-law for her only son who cuckolded her husband's family before he entered the door.

When he thought of this, Zeng only felt like swallowing a fly, and he was disgusted.

It's just that the negotiation process between the two families is more than halfway through, and this will be detrimental to Qi Peng, and it will only make people feel that the Qi Mansion is treacherous, unless there is a more definite reason, or the Hou Mansion takes the initiative.

It's a dilemma. Zeng's head hurt, and he let out a long sigh.

Qi Peng happened to come to greet Zeng, and saw Zeng's sitting alone in front of the window, frowning, as if he was in deep thought, motionless. Then he stepped forward and whispered, "Mother, what are you thinking?" ”

The Zeng family found out that Qi Peng had come in, and hurriedly took his hand, and said with concern: "Why are you here?" Why don't you rest in the house? ”

Qi Peng moved a small round stool, sat opposite Zeng's, and said, "You shouldn't sleep too much during the day, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night." Why did the mother sigh? If you have any worries, you might as well tell your son, maybe he can give you an idea. ”

Zeng looked at Qi Peng's long body and dignified appearance, and remembered that he was sensible and filial on weekdays, and worked hard, and felt more and more sorry for his son. I had to sigh again, and I didn't know where to start.

Qi Peng saw that the Zeng family didn't want to say, so he said: "Mother is worried about the family affairs with the Chu family? ”

Zeng was shocked, how could Qi Peng also know? Hurriedly asked, "How do you know?" Didn't someone come to you and chew the root of your tongue? Tell me who the mother is, the mother will definitely not spare him! ”

Qi Peng held Zeng's hand and said, "Mother, no one deliberately went to my son to gossip. It's just that the son is studying in the Chu family, and these rumors have long been spread all over the sky, how could the son not know? ”

When Zeng thought that his beloved son was criticized in the school, and he had to be calm and study in class, his heart was like a knife, and he said: "Those classmates are talking nonsense? Otherwise, let's not go to school in the Chu family, your talent is so good, and changing schools is not in the way, why bother to suffer from that idleness. ”

Qi Peng looked at Zeng's concerned face, shook his head, and said: "We still have a marriage contract with the Chu family, and if we abandon our armor and run away at this juncture, not only will the Hou Mansion feel that we are untrustworthy, but we will also do the rumors, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing to marry the second girl of Chu and enter the door when the time comes?" ”

Zeng was confused when he was concerned, and only asked, "Then what should we do now?" If you don't marry, there is no reason to quit your family, and if you marry, you will be wronged too much. My mother is so sorry that her intestines are blue......"

Qi Peng narrowed his eyes and said: "Originally, we discussed with the Chu family in order to take advantage of the momentum of the Hou Mansion, but now there are rumors about the second girl of Chu, if we don't give up, the Chu family will definitely miss us and will find a way to make up for it, in this way, wouldn't it be more certain that my father would seek to return to Beijing and even my fate next year?" ”

Zeng also reacted, and said: "You mean that no matter what the rumors are, we will marry Chu Danyu and use the Hou Mansion to make losses for our use?" It's just that in this way, how wronged you are......"

Qi Peng's eyes lit up, and he said: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, how can your children's private affairs be compared with high-ranking officials and Houlu?" The mother can rest assured, the son does not feel wronged, and he will seek a life for his mother in the future, so why worry about these little things now? ”

Zeng saw that Qi Peng's mind was firm, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed reasonable, so he was relieved. just shook Qi Peng's hand again and again, and said: "Mother knows that you are filial, but I am worried that Chu Danyu will not live a good life with you, and the restlessness in the house is also a misfortune for the family......"

Qi Peng said again: "Isn't there still a mother?" When she marries in, you can teach her well, with your big Buddha in town, how can our Qi family be restless? ”

Zeng was amused by Qi Peng's joke, twisted his ears, and said, "You, you are still not ......serious with your mother when you are so old."

Qi Peng just smiled.

Danyu's rumors also spread to the Liao family.

Mrs. Liao was punished by the master of the Liao family because of the quarrel with the Hou Mansion before, and she lost face in front of the juniors, so she was sick in bed all the time, avoiding people.

After hearing those rumors, he immediately became ill, full of glory and full of energy. said that God blessed the Liao family, did not attract a plague god, and went to the second room of the Chu family to thank my aunt and grandmother, because she did not achieve the marriage, otherwise it would be the Liao family who is in trouble now.

Before he could go out, he was dragged back by the old man of the Liao family, and only scolded: "You still don't have enough things to provoke?" When others watch the excitement, you also go to join in, aren't you afraid that the Chu family will hold a grudge against our Liao family again? What a memorable one! Don't go anywhere! ”

Mrs. Liao was scolded so much that she trembled, and she only promised: "I'm not still for your Liao family?" Whether it's good or bad, it's also to find a good family for Shang'er, you say that I, if you have the ability, you can find a decent daughter-in-law for Shang'er! ”

The old man of the Liao family was annoyed and angry, raised his hand and beat it, and said, "Okay, you are a shrew, you can't do it, and you still talk back!" See I don't beat you! ”

Liao Sheng and Liao Shang hurriedly grabbed the old man of the Liao family, one persuaded his father and the other persuaded his mother, and finally calmed down.

Liao Sheng looked at Liao Shang's gloomy face, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Don't go to your heart, as long as you are successful in your career, why worry about not having a beautiful girl?" ”

Liao Shang smiled bitterly and agreed, but his hand was secretly clenched into a fist. (To be continued.) )
