Chai Xiu'e's face was blood-red, and the fingers in her sleeves kept clasping the handkerchief in her palm, and she said in a low voice for a long time: "My father and mother went early, and I never ...... He never made a family for me. ”

The two men hiding behind the screen breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Mrs. He, the second wife, touched her chest with her hands, and her face was happy.

Expressed to the eldest lady with a mouth shape: "It's good to be married." ”

The eldest lady also nodded lightly with a smile on her face.

Old Mrs. Lu frowned slightly, stretched out her hand and said, "It's really pitiful, come and sit here with me." ”

Chai Xiu'e felt a sour feeling in her heart, tears and eyelashes, got up and held Mrs. Lu's hand, and let Mrs. Lu pull her to sit beside her.

Mrs. Lu held her hand and said with pity: "In the future, you will treat me as your relative, and if you have any grievances, you will tell me, and I will make the decision for you." ”

Chai Xiu'e nodded her head and said softly, "Thank you, old lady." ”

"This kid, what kind words do you say." Mrs. Lu held her hand and looked at it carefully, then raised one hand to stroke her hair, and said slowly: "Since there are no elders in your family to make the marriage for you, I have a suitable marriage for you here, I don't know if you mean it or not?" ”

Chai Xiu'e was very nervous, and her face was even more red and burning.

Old Madam Lu finally spoke.

She tilted her head and was very shy~ and said: "Although Xiu'e has no parents in the house, there is still a brother here. She said softly: "The eldest brother is like a father, and the marriage is a big deal...... I also had to ask him, I can't be the master myself, thank the old lady for her kindness. ”

"Hmm. It's really well-behaved. Old Lady Lu's eyes were full of smiles, "You are right, the eldest brother is like a father, and your brother should be in charge of your marriage." As soon as the conversation changed, she said: "But the family background I am a matchmaker for you is excellent, the other party is talented, and the temper is also very good, the most important child is still Xie Yuanlang, and the future is immeasurable......

She said these words to Mrs. He Er behind the screen.

Second Mrs. He really smiled, and her back involuntarily straightened a little.

To give birth to a son is to give the mother a long face. Her son was not born in vain.

She listened with her ears pricked. It feels like you're winning.

Chai Xiu'e pursed her lips and did not speak.

Old Mrs. Lu only thought she was shy, and only chuckled: "You must know that such a person is not easy to find, so you should think about it first." ”

“…… That's right. Actually, you've seen each other. Mrs. Lu reminded: "Just a year ago." In my house. You've seen it, that kid is the cousin of the three girls, He Tai. He is the only son of Mrs. He, and the He family's family background is also one of the best in Yizhou. If you get married, it will be a good day when honey is thick every day. ”

Mrs. He Er's heart was very helpful when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth were raised high from beginning to end, and she looked in a good mood.

“…… Think about it, my old wife also sees that you are very good, so I want to be a matchmaker for you. And Mrs. He also has a good impression of you, she likes you very much. Mrs. Lu took the teacup and moistened her throat, and said with a smile: "Although your brother should make the decision for you in the marriage matter, if you are willing, I think your brother will definitely not object." After all, the family background of the He family is obvious to all, and Tai Ge'er's character and talent are also obvious to all, to put it bluntly, such a family affair is really difficult to find with a lantern. ”

Mrs. Lu said a lot of things in one breath, but Chai Xiu'e only said one sentence: "I also know that Second Prince He is very good, but I don't understand, I don't dislike me with such a background?" Is he really willing to take me as his wife? ”

She bit the word "wife" very hard, and her eyes were extremely bright, like a fifteen full moon, Yingying looked at Mrs. Lu.

Old Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dryly: "The He family does not dislike your family background, but you should also know that it is good to marry two surnames, and there have been people who have said it since ancient times, so it is ...... If you enter the door, you are a concubine. ”

"Concubine? You mean aunt? Chai Xiu'e looked at Mrs. Lu frankly, Mrs. Lu was a little afraid to look at her crystal clear eyes, and pretended to drink tea to avoid those eyes.

Mrs. He, who was hiding behind the screen, pinched the corners of her clothes and began to beat the drum in her heart.

She originally thought that when Chai Xiu'e heard about this marriage, she would think that it was her good fate and acquiesced.

But things are not going to be good now.

Mrs. Lu took a few sips of tea and said vaguely, "This ...... In fact, the aunt and the concubine are still different, and the concubine can be compared with the main room. ”

"But that's just a comparison." Chai Xiu'e showed her courage and argued with Mrs. Lu with a smile.

Last night, she slept in the same bed with Lu Shuyi, and Lu Shuyi talked a lot to her at night, encouraging her to be bold in the future, don't shrink your head, and don't be afraid.

Only if you are brave, others will not dare to bully you.

Mrs. Lu: "......"

"I know you're doing this for my good." Chai Xiu'e took a breath and plucked up her courage to say, "But I don't want to be an aunt, no...... It's a concubine, I don't want to be a concubine. No matter what family it is, or other people's families, even if it is a saint today, I don't want to be a concubine, so I ask for your forgiveness, I can't promise you this matter. She looked at her firmly and said word by word: "I won't tell my brother about this family matter, you just pretend that you never told me, okay?" ”

When Mrs. He heard this, her heart turned upside down, and her face was gloomy.

She clenched her fingers, and her heart felt like she had smashed a stone, and she felt dull and uncomfortable.

The eldest lady didn't expect Chai Xiu'e to refuse so directly.

At first, she thought that Chai Xiu'e would be moved, after all, the He family has a prominent background, He Tai has the demeanor of a son of a family, and he is still a young Xie Yuanlang, how many people can't ask for such a marriage, she shouldn't refuse.

Even if she didn't say yes at the time, she would probably think again.

But Chai Xiu'e's answer obviously didn't mean to think about it.

Mrs. Lu sighed briefly: "This is a good marriage, don't you think about it?" ”

"Not thinking about it." Chai Xiu'e was very firm, she smiled faintly and said, "I appreciate your kindness, thank you." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, obviously unwilling to continue.

In this case, what else can Mrs. Lu say......

Anyway, she did everything she had to do, and the girl was not happy, so she didn't want to interfere anymore, so she just chuckled and patted Chai Xiu'e's hand, and said, "Okay, since you are not happy, then you haven't said anything about it." ”

Chai Xiu'e nodded.

Mrs. Lu didn't have anything to say, so she sent Mama Qian to send Chai Xiu'e away, and before leaving, she asked Mama Qian to take two packets of bird's nest, saying that it was to make up for Chai Xiu'e.

Chai Xiu'e accepted it generously, thanked her and left directly. (To be continued......)
