Not long after Qi took Yi Shuiman from Dama Street, a matchmaker came to the door.

Xu Qirong is now thirteen years old, and a matchmaker came to inquire before, but I heard that Xu Tingyuan was going to marry the stepfamily, so everyone waited and watched for a while, and now that the steproom is also married, it is natural to take action.

After the matchmaker came to the door, Qi personally received the matchmaker as the hostess, and after asking about the situation, he sent the person out of the door with good words and rewards. After the others left, Qi called Xu Qirong to his side.

"Although I am your father's wife, I am not your mother after all. There are some things that I am not sure of, and I am afraid that I will make a mistake and cause you to resent, so I have to ask you to talk about it. Qi said softly, "Although I have more knowledge than ordinary boudoir women, I have not been taught by my mother since I was a child, and I can't understand everything." Marriage is a big event that is related to your happiness for the rest of your life. I'm not sure I'll be able to find the right person for you. ”

Xu Qirong listened to this, and his heart sank. Thinking of the methods that the Qi family used to treat Aunt Yi, I felt a chill in my heart, could it be that the Qi family was planning to marry him casually?

Now that Qi is her stepmother, the little lady has no power to make decisions about her marriage, if Qi says which family is good in front of her father, her father is a casual person, I am afraid that as long as Qi gently persuades, her father will not be able to think of objecting.

Thinking like this, Xu Qirong's face slowly sank, and he said, "Mother, this matter is not in a hurry." I'm only 13 years old now, and I'm still thinking about spending a few more years at home with my dad and mom! ”

Qi shook his head and explained, "I don't mean to marry you off immediately. Naturally, I also hope that you will stay at home for a few more years, so that your father will be happy. It's just that the daughter's family is going to get married. ”

Xu Qirong said that he was even more bottomless in his heart, and said that he would not marry her out immediately, and said that his daughter's family was going to marry someone after all.

Xu Qirong wanted to say a little, you yourself are not in your twenties before marrying my father.

But these words were a little too hurtful, Xu Qirong pursed his lips and looked at Qi. She still couldn't say such a thing.

Qi continued: "I called you here to tell you, no matter who comes to propose marriage in the future, I will call you over." Tell you about the situation. If you are satisfied, I will ask someone to check the details of the other party to see if they are worthy of our sister Rong. If you are not happy, the other party is no matter how good the family background is. I'll push it off for you. ”

Xu Qirong was stunned for a moment.

Qi smiled. lowered his voice slightly: "But don't mention this matter to others, in the world, how can there be a little lady's marriage decided by herself!" I'm afraid that your father will find out, and when the time comes, he will complain about me, saying that I am afraid of taking responsibility and deliberately pressing such a big thing on the little lady. ”

Xu Qirong's eyes were a little hot when he heard this. Indeed, if Qi did this. If it spreads, I'm afraid that everyone will say that she is the stepmother who wants to kill her daughter!

It's just that. Xu Qirong knew that the Qi family was really doing good for her. As Qi herself said, she was a motherless person in her early years, and no one taught her about these things. If it is her own business, or her own daughter's business, if she accidentally messes up, then she can still consider herself unlucky, but this is related to the happiness of Xu Qirong's life, Qi does not want to ruin her virtuous reputation as a stepmother, and she does not want to ruin Sister Rong'er.

At that moment, Xu Qirong's eyes turned red, and he said, "Mother, you naturally really care for me." ”

Qi smiled: "I don't even have the experience of giving birth, so I became your mother, so I naturally have to be thoughtful." I naturally won't shirk what I can do, but I can't promise to do it well, and I won't do it all. Since you can understand me, that's excellent. ”

After a pause, he said: "I also know that when I encounter my life's events, the little lady will inevitably be shy, but when we talk about things, I will send people out, you and me, you don't have to be restrained, what to say, lest I be wrong." Or, if there is really someone who is optimistic, you can mention it in the letter to Sister Jin'er, and ask your sister to help with the idea, it is okay. ”

With Qi's protection, and her own and sister's checks, in this life, even if she marries poorly, she will not be worse than in her previous life!

Xu Qirong was a little happy in his heart, nodded, pursed his lips and thanked: "I will thank my mother in the future." ”

Qi hesitated for a moment, but still whispered: "It's me who should thank you!" ”

Xu Qirong was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of Qi's words. This is to thank her for mentioning her in front of Princess Pingtai!

Now that the words have been spoken, Qi got up and closed the window of the main room, and told the little maid standing outside to take a good look, and then said to Xu Qirong with a smile: "The matchmaker's surname here today is Qin, and he has a good reputation among the icemen. Qin Bingren is talking about the second son of Lord Li of Honglu Temple, I don't know if you have heard other little ladies mention this person on weekdays? ”

Xu Qirong thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard of it, but I was fortunate to meet Master Li's wife, a few years ago on the Chinese New Year's Eve flower and fruit competition, Mrs. Li was the judge of the current trial." ”

Qi nodded: "Since Mrs. Li has been a judge of the flower and fruit competition, she must be a well-blessed person, and in terms of temperament, it should not be too difficult to get along with." Although the second son can't inherit the majority of the family business, there is also a little advantage, that is, you don't have to preside over the feed when you get married, and there is a lot less trouble. I just don't know what kind of character the young master of the Li family is! ”

Xu Qirong hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Mother, I heard that the eldest young master of the Li family is married to the younger sister of Lord Xu, the young master of Guanglu Temple. ”

Qi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Their little couple also came to my shop to buy things, and it happened to be the day when the account books were settled, and I saw them at that time." What's the matter, the girl of the Xu family is not easy to get along with? ”

Xu Qirong pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Qi is a smart person, and if you think about it carefully, you can understand the joints. Isn't Xu Qiyao married to Xu Shen, the concubine of the Xu family! Xu Shen has some ability, and the limelight has covered the Xu family's sister-in-law, and married Xu Qiyao, and now Xu Ting's official fortune is prosperous, and the Xu family has no reason to offend the Xu family at this time. The eldest young lady of the Xu family is a sick man again, and the power to preside over the feed falls on Xu Qiyao.

I also heard that the aunt and grandmother of the Xu family who married the eldest young master of the Li family were extremely good friends with Xu Qiyao.

If Xu Qirong is married to the second young master of the Li family, he will have to deal with Xu Qiyao. If Xu Qiyao has the heart to rectify her, I am afraid that Xu Qirong will be tortured by the concubine.

Qi immediately thought of the attitude of Mrs. Guo and others towards their room.

immediately said: "This is just the first person to come to ask our sister Rong, where is it so cheap and agreed!" The people behind this are only getting better and better, our sister Rong is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the director of the house is thoughtful, but you have to pick a good person slowly! ”

Hearing this, Xu Qirong smiled: "It's just that my mother said this in front of me, if I let others know, I might think that our family is rare to my own girl!" ”

Qi Shi smiled and said: "It's not rare to see a girl from your own family, but it's hard to go to someone else's girl?" Other people's girls didn't eat our rice and use our cloth, so why should we go to her! ”

These words amused Xu Qirong.

However, the fact is indeed as Qi said, the first person to ask Xu Qirong about his family is the Li family, if there is no accident, the people who will ask later are only better, and there is really nothing worse than this.

On the second day, he came to ask Xu Qirong about his relatives, and he was replaced by Lin Bingren, who came to propose marriage for the third son of Lord Guan of Shaoqing Guan of Taifu Temple.

On the third day, he came to the door and was replaced by Qian Bingren, who was entrusted by the wife of Lord Chen of Guanglu Temple to marry Xu Qirong for the fifth young master of the Chen family.

All of a sudden, the matchmaker of the Xu family in Zhuangyuan Lane came and went, and even Xu Deng and others, who were busy building a good relationship with the female relatives in Xijing City these days, were alarmed.

In fact, Xu Qirong knew in her heart that there would be so many matchmakers coming to the door, but in fact, she was stained with Xu Tingjin's light. Xu Tingjin is now prosperous in official fortune, and he is good friends with Liang Wenjing Duan Xu, Emperor Chen Qiandi is not taboo about the relics of the previous dynasty because he has taken his uncle's country, plus Xu Zhi was transferred to Dali Temple, at this time, everyone naturally wants to take advantage of the fact that the Xu family has not yet developed to win over the Xu family.

In addition to this reason, her friendship with Shuanglian, Jiaren and the fifteenth princess can also be regarded as a reason. In Xijing City, in addition to the palace, the Yuwang Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion are the most powerful, and the benefits of being able to take advantage of these two layers of relationship are indispensable.

In addition, in this life, because she couldn't speak for a while, she didn't go out for a long time, and everyone saw that she lived in a simple house, and they actually gave her some good reputation. After all, the real ladies are all out of the door.

has a good family background, good connections, and a good reputation, and his appearance is not bad, although the Qi family showed up to do business before marrying into the Xu family, but after all, Master Qi is a scholar, and he can be regarded as a scholar from the family of poetry. Naturally, there are more and more people proposing marriage.

It just so happened that Xu Qixuan was about the same age as Xu Qirong, and he was one year older than Xu Qirong, so Xu Deng asked Xu Qirong to invite Xu Qirong to Songhe Hall and personally told her that she was invited to take Xu Qixuan to participate in some banquets in the circle. In this way, Xu Qixuan is better to talk about his relatives.

Xu Deng's attitude was very good when he made this request, and Xu Qirong agreed without thinking. After all, she still has to deal with these sisters of the Xu family in the future, and they are all prosperous and lossy. Xu Qixuan's temperament is also quite good, and she won't cause her any trouble. (To be continued......)
