Cao Luo was startled, shook her head desperately, and said with a red face: "How is this possible?!" I'm not the unruly girl! ”

Zhao Xiu snorted: "What kind of unruly is this?" It's just that I like someone, and I haven't done anything against etiquette. You say that other people's families betrothal their children, so the children really haven't gotten along with each other beforehand, and they have a good impression of each other? ”

Cao Luo was stunned, and after a while, she shook her head and said: "That's the kindness of the family, marriage is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can the girl's family have their own selfishness?" ”

Zhao Xiu coughed twice, thinking that fortunately Cao Luo didn't know how she got along with Gao Zhen, otherwise according to her thinking, she would be said to be an unruly girl.

She simply changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this, since you don't have a crush, then why aren't you happy about this family business?" Do you hate Xie Xiangfei? I don't know much about this person, I only know some rumors, could it be that he is a young talent on the surface, but in fact he is very unbearable on the inside? "Thinking about Cao Taihe, the head of the Cao family, who has been stationed in the palace for many years, and is well-informed about royal affairs, maybe Cao Luo knows something that others don't know.

Cao Luo still shook her head desperately.

Zhao Xiu was distressed: "Then you hate him, there must be a reason, right?" If you don't say, how will I know? Your grandmother really wants me to give you a treat, and as a good friend of yours, I want you to be happy in the future. It's hard to refuse the marriage of the royal gift, I can't help you get rid of this fiancé, but if you marry in the future, how to deal with him, maybe I can help you think about it. ”

Cao Luo whispered, "I didn't hate him...... He's so good, how could I hate him? ”

Zhao Xiu was suddenly surprised: "Do you think he is very good?" Isn't it a good thing that you were assigned to marry him? Why do you look reluctant? ”

Cao Luo hung her head and was silent for a while before replying: "He is so good, where am I worthy?" Now that the emperor has given me this blessing, but what will he think in his heart? He must hate me, right? ”

"Nonsense!" Zhao Xiu retorted flatly, "What's wrong with you?" Why does he dislike you? According to me, it's good enough that you don't dislike him. Let's say something taboo in private. Look at his family's reputation! There is such a big sister-in-law, the family is scared all day long, and I don't know when she was affected. If you don't marry, your father will be deeply trusted by the emperor. As long as you don't make mistakes, a lifetime of wealth and peace is indispensable. If you get married, you have to take risks. If it weren't for the emperor's marriage, your family wouldn't have married with theirs! ”

Cao Luo's face was flushed when she heard this: "Good sister, don't say it." How can I be so good? How can he be as unbearable as you say? This marriage was supposed to be my high climb, don't belittle him like this for me, but make me more and more ashamed. ”

Zhao Xiu asked incomprehensibly, "How can you have such an idea?" Didn't your grandmother and parents tell you? This marriage was originally taken advantage of by Qushui Bofu, and their family was eager to marry you into the door, so they came to the door three times and twice to beg, wanting to advance the wedding date. Your mother refused to budge because she was not happy. Just looking at the different attitudes of the two families, you should know that it is Xie Xiangfei who asks to marry you now, not that you have climbed Xie Xiangfei. ”

Cao Luo showed a hesitant look on his face: "This ...... I heard that this is because the queen mother is not as decent in front of the emperor as she used to be. The eldest son of the emperor has not been able to establish a prince for a long time, and Qushui Bofu is looking forward to marrying the commander of the forbidden army as soon as possible, so as to attract a strong reinforcement for the eldest son of the emperor, so that he will be so enthusiastic about this family matter......" She lowered her head a little sadly, "If it is for this reason, his family has accepted me for the sake of interests, and in the future, when the eldest son of the emperor establishes a prince and his position is stable, I will be of no use to their family, what will he think of me at that time?" between husband and wife. If they are united only because of interests, and they are ruthless and unrighteous to each other, it is too tragic. ”

Zhao Xiu said disapprovingly: "There are so many marriages in the world that are determined by interests, is every couple miserable?" Besides, two families are going to get married. There are many aspects to consider. You just said that marriage is the order of parents, and if a girl has a little affection for any man, it is unruly, then her marriage. Naturally, it can't be tied because of love? What did her parents consider when they proposed marriage to her? Of course, it can't be whether she likes each other or not, but whether the two portals are comparable, whether the children of the two families are matched in age, appearance, and character, whether this marriage will have a good result, and will it bring benefits to both families? In your opinion, is this also a union for the sake of profit? ”

Cao Luo hesitated again, so if it seemed ......

She remembered what the personal girl whispered to her before, saying that her mother Cao Fangshi was planning to find her in-law's family, and she had taken a fancy to the grandson of Li Guangdi, a scholar, and had already handed over a message to Mrs. Li, and the other party also expressed his willingness to look at each other. It's just that before anything has been done, the Queen Mother issued a decree to give marriage, and the two families had to treat it as no such thing and never mention it again. Li Daxue Shiben has never had any contact with the General Mansion of Zhuguo, and he only met under the introduction of Jiannanhou. Cao Fang's family is bent on marrying his daughter back to the circle of scholarly and famous families, and he looks at this marriage, that is, Tuli University has a high status in Shilin, and the saints are long, and the children and grandchildren are all successful in studying, and their daughters marry in the past, and their fate can be expected in the future, and even the Cao family can rely on this in-law to enhance their prestige in Shilin, and they are no longer looked down upon because of their status as martial artists as in the past......

Not to mention that Xie Xiangfei's family affair is a royal gift, Cao Luo also has to admit that her parents really consider her marriage from the interests of their own parents. It is normal for Xie Xiangfei's family to be very enthusiastic about her family business for the sake of profit. This does not mean that one day in the future, she will be of no use to them, and they will turn their noses up at her. Most of the marriages formed because of the same interests still have good results, and there are only a few negative examples that have been criticized.

Cao Luo's heart calmed down a little, but she was still very shy: "I'm still scared...... I heard that he is a gentleman of good character, and he doesn't think he will dislike me in person, but when I think of the gap between the two of us...... There is also Miss Jiang Si, I always feel panicked in my heart. ”

Zhao Xiu looked at her expression and knew that she had softened, and smiled and comforted her: "There is not much difference between the two of you, don't underestimate yourself too much." The fourth sister of the Jiang family was only the daughter of the prefect back then, so she was able to marry Xie Xiangfei, and everyone felt that they were a good match. You are now the daughter of the dignified Pillar General's Mansion, and your father's grade is higher than that of Master Jiang Si, so what reason do you have to be arrogant? Although she is the niece of the Queen Mother, your marriage was also given by the Queen Mother herself. You should straighten your back. Also, the sister of the Jiang family actually didn't care much about the marriage that was not negotiated back then, she didn't have any thoughts about Xie Xiangfei, she just obeyed the family arrangement. When the marriage didn't work out, she was angry, but she was never sad. She has not proposed marriage again, firstly, it does have the influence of that incident back then, and secondly, it is ...... I'm afraid it's also because she is living too freely in Tianjin, and she is not happy. With her family background and appearance, even if she is older, she doesn't have to worry about not being able to get married, let alone marrying a good partner, so you don't have to worry about her. ”

Cao Luo's expression became more and more relaxed, as if she had listened to Zhao Xiu's words, her cheeks were still flushed with shyness, but she already had a little smile: "It seems that I really think too much......"

Zhao Xiu smiled: "Of course you think too much, what are you thinking about in your head?" Why do you have such a strange idea? When I write to Fourth Sister Jiang another day, I will have to talk to her, and she may comfort you in turn. She clearly knew that Jiang Wen really didn't have any thoughts about Xie Xiangfei.

Cao Luo only felt that her face was even more feverish, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't!" Good sister, just spare me, I don't have that face. I really want her to know that when she returns to Beijing in the future, how can I see her? ”

Zhao Xiu was just amusing her, but she didn't really plan to write such a letter, so she laughed it off.

Cao Luo's mood was much better, and when she returned to Zhang and Mrs. Cao, she also had a smile on her face and looked much more cheerful. Mrs. Cao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and whispered to Zhang: "It's really thanks to your sister Xiu, I really don't know how to thank her." ”

Zhang smiled and whispered, "What's this?" Their sisters are playing well, which is what Sister Xiu should do. ”

Mrs. Cao was still very grateful, and said that she would send a thank you gift later, and before leaving, she took Zhao Xiu's hand and said thank you repeatedly. Zhao Xiu caught a glimpse of Cao Luo talking to Zhang, so he lowered his voice and said: "Mrs. Tai, pay attention, Sister Cao seems to have some inferiority, and feels that she is not worthy of the son of the Xie family, and thinks that the son of the Xie family will dislike her after marriage, so she is depressed." Isn't it strange that she would have such thoughts? Was she influenced by some misconceptions? ”

Mrs. Cao was stunned, and the expression on her face suddenly became solemn.

Because of Cao Fang's reasons, Cao Luo's daily social circle is almost inseparable from the Fang family, and the scholarly daughters in that circle almost all have the concept of despising military generals. Even people with low official ranks like the Liu family and the Feng family will feel that Cao Taihe and the Cao Fang family are not as noble as them. Cao Luo was affected by this, and never felt that she was such a noble identity as the daughter of the commander of the forbidden army. Facing the daughters of other high-ranking officials in Beijing, they always have a feeling of inferiority.

However, the daughters of Fang, Liu, Feng and other families she knew were respectful and slightly flattering in the face of royal relatives like the Jiang family and the Li family. It seems that she is much worse than the daughters of those royal families. Xie Xiangfei once discussed marriage with the four girls of the Jiang family, but now he is ordered to marry Cao Luo as his wife. How could Cao Luo not feel empty in her heart?

Mrs. Cao has long hated this, but because Cao Fang's family is Cao Luo's biological mother and has a good reputation, she is not good at interfering in the discipline of her granddaughter. Now it seems that there are some things that have to be said clearly at home. Otherwise, Cao Luo has a temperament, and if she marries, she will only be bullied, how can people feel at ease?

Again...... After the news of Cao Luo's alleged marriage spread, those relatives, friends and daughters of Cao Fang's mother's family who came to congratulate her, especially the girls who were close to Cao Luo and had admired Xie Xiangfei, Mrs. Cao felt that she should also be wary. She didn't believe that Cao Luo's inferiority complex would have nothing to do with these people. Is it true that their Cao family is a sick cat?

Her old woman is not powerful, and these people don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes! (To be continued.) )
