Chapter 129: The Du family proposes marriage
Xu Qiyu, who exchanged Geng posts with the Yan family, became more and more arrogant, although he often ran to Lanzhi Courtyard in the past, now not only does he often run to Lanzhi Courtyard, but even Lin'an Tang's invitation is becoming more and more perfunctory. Mrs. Guo saw it in her eyes, but she hated Princess Pingtai more and more in her heart.
If it weren't for Xu Qirong's knowledge that every time Xu Qiyu came to Lanzhi Courtyard, Princess Pingtai would be a little impatient, he would have thought that Xu Qiyu had the blue eyes of Princess Pingtai, so he dared not to look at Mrs. Guo's room like this.
In this regard, Princess Pingtai was also very helpless.
Princess Pingtai is such a proud person, she has the title of princess, and she is cold, and she has always regarded dignity as more important than life. When I met such a niece and granddaughter who was dead and dirty, I couldn't drive it away, and there was really no way.
After another two days, Xu Qiyun still did not open her mouth to admit her mistake, the water and rice did not enter for five days, and the melons and fruits for the ancestors in the ancestral hall were all eaten by her, and the subordinates of the guards felt that the third lady was pitiful and did not dare to stop her.
Xu Qiyu still did not open his mouth to intercede for Xu Qiyun.
On the evening of the fifth day, someone discovered that Xu Qiyun had not woken up since he passed out at noon. The whole person lost a lot of weight, his face was pale, and his lips were rolled with rough dead skin, and black-red flesh could be seen. Seeing that it is already more out of breath and less in gas.
In the crying of the eldest lady and the insistence of the eldest uncle Xu Cheng and the fourth master Xu You, I hurriedly went out to ask for a doctor.
Most of the Xu family didn't know that Ye Lin was a miracle doctor, and they only thought that he was Mr. Xixi, who was slightly familiar with Qi Huang's technique, according to Mrs. Qiao's meaning. Anyway, it's close, so before inviting the doctor in, let Mr. Ye come and take a look.
Who knew that the eldest master actually refused: "That's the guest invited back by the fourth room." Where can you be troubled again and again! β
Xu Qiyu just knocked his head and fainted, and the eldest lord was in a hurry to ask people to invite Mr. Ye, and now Xu Qiyun saw that his life was on the verge of dying, but the eldest lord talked about the etiquette of not bothering the guests.
Mrs. Qiao trembled with hatred, crying and scolding: "Our sister Yun's life is miserable, but when she pulled, she pushed it, and her own father asked for half her life." Now he is asking Mr. Ye to come to see him. No matter how much Sister Yun has, half of her life is her father's, and half of her life is her mother's. You took half of it, and now you want to take my half too? β
Mrs. Guo also scolded beside her: "Dalang, you are a fool, don't you want your wife and daughter?" I have taught you since I was a child that the back house is a woman's territory. Why do you bother to follow and make peace? Now you don't even want the life of your own daughter? Just for that brute? β
Mrs. Guo's fingers poked at the door of Master Xu's head, and said hatefully: "I also inquired about the events of that day, it is not Sister Yun'er's fault alone, Sister Yu first used words to provoke Sister Yun'er, Sister Yun has always been fierce, how can she bear it?" You, a father, indiscriminately locked people up in the ancestral hall, aren't you trying to force Sister Yun to die? β
Master Xu has been riddled with bad luck these days, and many plans have been forced to be unable to be implemented. The boss was looking for trouble with him without a head, and he was not very happy. Mrs. Qiao didn't comfort and appease him, but instead made the back house restless, and her mood was naturally even more depressed. Now he is scolded by his wife and aunt, and his face is so black that he can drip ink.
It's just that Mrs. Guo is his elder in the end, no matter how Mrs. Guo says that he is confused, he can't refute it, so he just stands there and lets her say, but his thoughts have already drifted to other things.
Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Guo didn't see the old man let go of their mouths, so they were naturally angry in their hearts, and the maid had already invited Dr. Qi to this delay.
Xu Qiyun fainted because of hunger in the abdomen, lack of water in the body and numbness in the limbs after kneeling for a long time, it was not a serious illness.
Mrs. Qiao wiped her tears and asked, "Doctor Qi, look, can you feed the ginseng soup?" β
"The third lady is too weak, such a big bowl of ginseng soup, I am afraid that I can't stand it, pour half of it out, and then mix it with boiled water, and feed it to her carefully. Be careful, the third lady's breathing is already weak, if she chokes, I'm afraid she won't be able to slow down. Doctor Qi sighed, "How can such a good little lady be tortured like this, Rao has made a big mistake, and she shouldn't be so bad!" β
Doctor Qi has been in and out of the Xu Mansion all the year round to see the masters of the Xu Mansion, basically watching Xu Qiyun grow up, and now seeing Xu Qiyun like this, he naturally can't bear it.
Mrs. Qiao glanced at the old man who didn't say a word hatefully, wiped her tears and said, "The child is a good child, and she is only to blame for the wrong birth." β
This made Master Xu's face blush and white for a while, but he couldn't stand it, snorted coldly, and walked out with a flick of his sleeve. Mrs. Qiao shouted several times but didn't get a response, and she couldn't help crying again.
Mrs. Guo was also so angry that she stomped her feet: "What a sin! What a wickedness! The resentment towards Xu Qiyu in my heart became more and more profound.
Xu Qiyun picked up a life, and after that, her temperament became a little silent, but if others mentioned Xu Qiyu in front of her, or saw Xu Qiyu, Xu Qiyun's eyes were like quenching poison.
Because he still resented the opening of the ancestral hall in his heart, no matter how much trouble Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Qiao made over there, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong just watched coldly. However, Master Xu Si was quite worried in his heart, but it was just a matter between the two nieces, and it was not good for him to interfere.
Fortunately, because of this incident, Mrs. Ding has not come to the Xu family.
Mrs. Ding didn't come, but someone came to the door to propose marriage first.
The person who came was Mr. Cen, the adjutant of Du Guangsheng, the salt envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and personally came to propose marriage to the eldest son of Du Guangsheng, the salt envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Du Guangsheng's eldest son is named Du Zhong, seventeen years old, his mother is the eldest daughter of the deputy envoy of the General Administration Department, and his aunt is the daughter-in-law of the governor of Jiangzhou.
It's just that this Du eldest son has a problem, that is, he loves books and is obsessed, he nests in the study when he has nothing to do on weekdays, and when he was thirteen years old, he said that his future wife must be more beautiful than the sisters and sisters in the family, and must be more knowledgeable than the female students in the palace girls' school, and must be able to manage the Du family's middle feed in an orderly manner, and must have the courage to go out with him.
Although it is not a harsh condition, the daughter of ordinary people cannot meet the second article alone, and how can the noble family be willing to send their daughter to him to let him pick and choose! Therefore, until the age of seventeen this year, there is still no mention of a suitable fiancΓ©e.
When Xu Qirong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, thinking in his heart, it's not just the door that talks to the door, this son surnamed Du shouldn't feel that he can pick and choose the little ladies as things if his family is high!
When he heard that Mr. Cen proposed his sister Xu Qijin for Du Zhong, Xu Qirong felt a wave of anger in his heart.
In her heart, Xu Qijin is worthy of the best man to marry home.
Because of the last engagement with the Yi family, Master Xu Si was embarrassed to be in charge of Xu Qijin's marriage, and because of the matter in the ancestral hall, Master Xu Si did not have as much resentment against Princess Pingtai as before, so as soon as Mr. Cen came to the door, Master Xu Si led him to see Princess Pingtai.
Princess Pingtai had never heard of Du Zhong and didn't know much about him, but this Mr. Cen seemed to be a kind person, and he made the situation of Du Zhong clear and clear from the beginning. Princess Pingtai had already said that she would find a suitable family for Xu Qijin instead of finding a wealthy family, so after knowing the deeds of this Du Zhong, Princess Pingtai lost interest in this family affair and rejected Mr. Cen immediately.
Who knew that this Mr. Cen was very persistent, and he ran to Xu's Mansion at two ends in three days, and told Princess Pingtai about the benefits of Miss Xu's marriage to Dufu one by one, which made Princess Pingtai annoyed, and at a glance, he knew that Mr. Cen didn't know how to be a matchmaker.
Three or four times like this, the entire Xijing City knew about the fact that the salt transportation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang made the eldest son of the Du family beg to marry Miss Xu Er.
The Xu family here felt annoyed, and after the news of the eldest prince Du begging to marry Miss Xu Er reached Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the eldest prince Du was also angry.
Originally, my aunt's letter was full of praise to the second lady of the Xu family, and Master Du and Mrs. Du had been anxious about his marriage, and persuaded him for three days before he agreed to let people go to the Xu family to propose marriage, thinking in his heart, maybe this is his good fate. Who knew that his father directly sent his deputy envoy to the door to propose marriage, and the second miss of the Xu family actually looked down on it and made such jokes.
Du Zhong was angry, so he arranged the things at hand, and then went to Xijing City in person.
Mr. Cen probably didn't want Du Dagongzi to think that he was incompetent, and after receiving the news that Du Zhong was coming to Xijing City, he ran to Xu's house more often. Princess Pingtai originally liked to be quiet, but being made so miserable by him made her miserable, and her impression of the Du family was even worse.
is like the Du family, it is not as good as the previous Yi family!
Xu Qirong was also annoyed, and finally remembered who Du's father-in-law was. The governor of Jiangzhou is Guan Shuqiu, so the aunt of the eldest prince of Du should be the second lady of Guan! No wonder the Du family suddenly set their sights on her sister, dare to love that it is Mrs. Guan who is pulling the strings!
As soon as Xu Qirong said this to Xu Qijin, Xu Qijin pursed his lips, and immediately took off the bracelet he was wearing, put it in the box and put it away. I thought in my heart that if I had the opportunity, I would definitely return it to Mrs. Guan.
I was so aggrieved in my heart, no wonder there is a saying called "eating people with short mouths and short hands", I knew that I would be so uneasy, so I didn't want to take over the second lady's "meeting gift" in the first place.
When Xu Qirong saw his sister like this, he immediately turned around and asked Yu Xia to put away the hairpin he had gotten. (To be continued......)
