Chapter 473: Marriage
Yu Shu didn't go to Xue Rui after all, because after lunch, he suddenly remembered that he had promised Qiu Yueling the day before yesterday that he would go to Shilang's Mansion as a guest, so he ordered the kitchen to load a box of fruit shortbread companions.
When I arrived at Qiu's Mansion, as soon as I entered the second gate, a maid from the inner courtyard greeted me and invited Yu Shu to the hugging house in the south.
When Mrs. Qiu heard the report, she put down the account book in her hand, and asked her mother-in-law to go to Zhang Luo Chaguo while asking her to call Miss Qiu.
Yu Shu met with the mother and daughter of the Qiu family, and they were very polite to each other-
"There are some things delayed in the morning, so I came to visit at this time, and I didn't disturb my wife's lunch break, right?"
"It's good that the lady can come."
Yu Shu expected that Mrs. Qiu invited her to come over to the house three or two times, she must have something to say, and sure enough, Qiu Yueling showed her face, and after a few words, she was sent back to the room by Mrs. Qiu to be a female celebrity.
Mrs. Qiu then went straight to the point and spoke:
"There was something wrong with the little girl's marriage before, but fortunately, Mr. saw through the marriage catastrophe to avoid a disaster, according to the original should not have mentioned this matter so quickly, but the little girl will be seventeen years old in two months, I discussed with the master to always give her a decent marriage, so as not to have a long time outside someone chewing the root of the tongue, and then delaying the moon mother, so today please Mr. come over, in fact, I want to ask you to look at the eight characters, in case of another oolong, I have a few suitable candidates here, and please ask Mr. to help, there will be heavy thanks afterwards."
Talking about marriage is a private matter, Mrs. Qiu can talk to Yu Shu so openly, not because she is a lack of heart, on the contrary, she is because Qiu Yueling got "crazy" that time, and Yu Shu saw the ugliness of the family.
Yu Shu thought of another one. It turned out that the Qiu family intended to marry was one of the twelve families in the capital, and then anyway, the marriage of Hao Lu was blown up, and the other party would definitely not be happy, so this could have been sent to the Da Yi Pavilion to ask for a fortune, but Mrs. Qiu didn't dare to send it, and only then did she remember that she had no background.
Yu Shu smiled and said: "Madame, why be polite, Lord Qiu is still kindly helping me supervise the house, this little thing, there is no need to talk about thank you or not." ”
Look at each other's marriage. She's not good at it, but someone is good at it.
When Mrs. Qiu saw her respond, she happily asked her maid to take out a few posts that she had collected and handed them to Yu Shu.
Yu Shu took it in his hand and opened it and looked at the two, and smiled secretly in his heart: This Mrs. Qiu has cast a wide net. actually fell in love with the young master of five or six families.
"But I have to say more, these things must not be passed on." Mrs. Qiu still reminded with some unease.
Yu Shu closed the post, nodded, and said, "Madame is waiting for my reply." ”
Mrs. Qiu let go of a concern, the smile on her face was much more relaxed, she stared at Yu Shu twice, and asked:
"I heard Yueniang say, the day before yesterday, at Miss Xin's family and the ceremony, you gave a string of strange stones as a gift. It's called a crystal or something, I'm curious, can I take a look? ”
Yu Shu raised his eyebrows, and directly raised his hand to take off the string of dazzling citrine from his wrist and gave it to the maid to show Mrs. Qiu.
Mrs. Qiu watched the aftermath. Unexpectedly, he was taken away from his gaze and praised a few times, but he saw Yu Shu's generous face and remembered that his daughter was coquettish yesterday. I couldn't help but open my mouth to ask:
"I don't know where the lady bought the beads of this color."
Yu Shu pretended to be smug and said:
"To put it mildly, the same crystal stone, outside is simply hard to find, Miss Qiu didn't tell Mrs., this bracelet is carefully raised in my own feng shui pool, in addition to the evil and filthy, so clean and eye-catching, although not as good as the jade to raise people, but can bring a little good luck to people, you see I wear this citrine, the first two days out of the house also picked up silver, to Xin Liu's white crystal, is to help calm the nerves, I don't believe you can go back and let Miss Qiu ask her, is it these two days of sleep better than usual."
Yu Shu has been involved in the insurance industry in his previous life, and he has seen countless sales methods, and he knows very well how to seduce people's interests.
Mrs. Qiu became more and more surprised when she heard this, and stroked the beads on her hand again, only to find that this gem was actually cool when she was taken off Yu Shu's hand!
It's peculiar.
When she came back to her senses, Mrs. Qiu realized that she had been holding other people's valuables a little rude, so she embarrassedly asked the maid to hand the bracelet back to Yu Shu, smiled at her, and said:
"Call Mr. jokes, I love to collect these rare things, if you still have such a surplus in your hands, you would rather cut your love, it would be better."
Yu Shu shook his head while putting the bracelet on: "I disappointed Madame, I only raised three of the same bracelets, one was given to the sixth miss of the Xin family, and one was begged for by the fifth miss of the Xia Jiang family." ”
Mrs. Qiu's eyebrows jumped, and she said in her heart Miss Xia Jiangwu, isn't she the one in the front palace who married the Nine Emperors, how to listen to Yu Shu's breath, she is very familiar, although she is puzzled, she is not easy to ask Yu Shu about personal relations, she can only press it in her stomach, and at the same time, it is a pity, no matter how good things are, you can't be cheeky and let people cut their love.
After Yu Shuxian finished posing, he didn't have the heart to stay longer, put away the half of the eight-character post, and got up to say goodbye, Mrs. Qiu took the initiative to send her out of the second door, so that the big girl next to her followed.
When Mrs. Qiu returned to the room, she was entangled by Qiu Yueling, "Mother, how is it, did you ask for me?" ”
Qiu Yueling didn't know that Mrs. Qiu planned to marry her, but she just cared about the crystal bracelet.
Mrs. Qiu patted her lovingly and coaxed: "Mr. Yu's bracelet like that, there are only three bracelets, one is given to the Xin family's girl, and the other is said to be for the future princess Jing, there are no more." ”
Qiu Yueling said sullenly: "If only I had known Sister Yu earlier, maybe she would have given me one too." ”
Mrs. Qiu was depressed, stretched out her hand and pinched her, and scolded: "Who is learning from such a shallow eyelid, does my mother still pick up good things for you, and I will teach you a lesson when your father comes back." ”
Qiu Yueling knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly begged for mercy, Mrs. Qiu felt sorry for her daughter, and taught her a few more words.
***
Yu Shu left Qiu's house and went to the Xiajiang Annex.
When Xia Jiangmin heard her coming, she was taking a nap, and suddenly woke up, changed her clothes and hurried to the flower hall.
The last time we met, it was almost a month later. Yu Shu only felt that Xia Jiangmin was more watery, and he was standing beside her with such a cheeky skin, just like flowers and weeds, and as soon as he made a joke, he was "snorted" by her.
"You still remember to come to see me, and you didn't bother to write back to invite you to come and talk to me, I really don't know what you're busy with all day long."
Yu Shu grabbed her soft and boneless little hand, squeezed it and said, "Who is as idle as you, just eat and sleep at home all day and wait for marriage." ”
The young lady of the Yi Xue family is no better than the one in the literati family. On weekdays, I don't take a needlework, and I don't have to hide in the room to embroider pillows when I get married.
Xia Jiangmin was angry, gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't I exchange with you?" ”
Yu Shu hurriedly covered her mouth. glanced at the door, glared at her and said, "What stupid words do you say, it will reach your father's ears, and I am afraid that I will teach you badly, and I won't even be able to open the door when I turn back." ”
Xia Jiangmin took her hand down and took her outside, "It's hot here, go to the lakeside pavilion and sit, I'll make you tea." Why are you here at this hour? I'm really not afraid of the sun, the afternoon sun is so poisonous, you are not white, and then you will lose a layer of skin"
Yu Shu understood that Xia Jiangmin didn't have anyone to speak on weekdays, so he listened to her Rory. The two of them went to the lake, and their own maids ran errands to smoke mosquitoes first.
Speaking naturally, he had to mention the amethyst bracelet that Yu Shu sent him yesterday, and Xia Jiangmin was next to Yu Shu affectionately, fiddling with the icy beads on his wrist. Smiled sweetly:
"When I got my hands on it yesterday, I was startled and went around in circles, and it turned out to be your thing."
Then he rolled his eyes again, and said angrily: "If I don't mention it, you can't remember that I am, I gave it to the sister of the Xin family first, and then gave it to me, why am I not close to her with you." ”
Yu Shu smiled, was hugged by her with one hand, and poured tea with the other, "If you compare like this, then I said that the value of giving you is more valuable than giving her, are you happy?" ”
Xia Jiangmin didn't think about it, this purple was only suitable for her to wear, so she hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled with satisfaction, put down her sleeves and said, "Forget it this time, if there is anything good next time, send me the first one." ”
Yu Shu also liked her delicate and cute temperament, so he casually agreed, and said: "I still have a few pendants there, and I'll give you two to play with when I'm ready." ”
The friendship of life is comparable to a few stones.
After laughing, Yu Shu asked her: "It's been a month since the marriage documents were completed, why hasn't Si Tianjian chosen an auspicious day yet?" ”
Xia Jiangmin said: "Listen to my father, I just chose it two days ago, and I am waiting for the Holy Lord's approval." Didn't I tell you, my third uncle is on the way, and he will enter Beijing in a few days. ”
Although it is a royal family, the vulgar rites are unavoidable, and the Xia Jiang family came from the south, and they came with a dowry of ten miles.
Yu Shu breathed a sigh of relief for her and said, "That's good, after you get married, you don't have to be so restrained anymore, you have to have some communication." ”
These days, seeing the current affairs clearly, Yu Shu found that there are some taboos about the wealthy families in these places today, such as Wenchen Xia Jiang, as a leader in the north and south, but he doesn't even have a serious mansion in the capital, and he has to live in an annex.
Xia Jiangmin's eyes flashed, and he snorted: "Yes, I've been so restrained all day long, and I don't know a few people until now, if it weren't for my father-forget it, don't talk about these disappointments, what are you doing with me today, I don't believe that you came to see me without incident, don't think I don't know about you." ”
Yu Shu touched his nose, and said in his heart that this girl was smart, and took out a few famous cards from her arms, which she got from Mrs. Qiu.
"This is the woman's eight characters, these are the man's eight characters, didn't you teach you the six lines, you give me one and one, and write it for me."
Yu Shu sent the future princess Jing without any weakness.
Xia Jiangmin looked at the name on the paper suspiciously, and said, "When did you change your career to be a matchmaker?" ”
"Entrusted by others," Yu Shu smiled a little hateful, "Anyway, you have a toothache all day long, instead of thinking about what you don't have, it's better to find something to do." (To be continued.) )
PS: (In the previous chapter, Xia Jiangmin's name was mistakenly written as Xia Jiangying, which has been changed, ashamed, do you think I will add more today, Ha Lu Ha, Mu You.) )
