"Okay." After the performance, Su Xizhu hid behind everyone, and after receiving the reward, he honestly returned to his seat, thinking about showing his face at all, so that Zhou Lingxuan and An Qinghe took a high look, compared to Su Xilan and Zhao Yu, who were eager to stand at the front, Su Xizhu was what they liked.

Su Xilan was still very excited when she returned to her seat, even Zhao Yu was also bright-eyed, but she saw Han Zhan and Su Ximei in the distance with a slight smile on their faces.

Zhao Yu's original ambition was very unhappy in Han Zhan, and now he looked at Su Ximei, who had not lost weight at all, and mocked in his heart.

"By the way, second cousin, I have always had a question, how can the maid next to the eldest cousin be called Xiyu?" Zhao Yu looked at the maid who was carefully serving Su Ximei, and her face was full of puzzlement.

"The other one is called Lianxiang, and this one is called Xiyu." Su Xilan said with a somewhat bad face.

"But isn't that a conflict with your name? The ladies in the house all use the word cherish, cherish the jade, and those who don't know still think it's a miss? "Zhao Yu thinks it's strange, the elders of the Hou Mansion can also agree?

Su Xilan still had an impression of this, but Su Ximei insisted on letting the maid call her by this name, saying that she didn't mind, and the family spoiled her and followed her.

At that time, Su Xilan was very dissatisfied, Su Ximei didn't mind doesn't mean she doesn't mind, it's just that the people in the house don't care, and Su Xilan can only admit it.

"Our name isn't a foul word, it's just a follow-up, so it doesn't matter." Su Xilan pretended to be generous, but in fact, the names of her and Su Xizhu and Su Xiju were all named after Su Ximei's name, which shows Su Ximei's status in the Hou Mansion.

Zhao Yu saw that Su Xilan didn't want to say any more and didn't talk much, but looking at Su Ximei pretending to sit there calmly, Zhao Yu knew that Su Ximei was so beautiful before that I was afraid how difficult it would be now and in the future.

After the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, there were more people in the Marquis of Annan's mansion, and even Zhao Yu was asked, but Su Xizhu did not propose marriage, and Zhou was sarcastic when he saw Jiang.

Although Jiang is not in a hurry about the fact that no one proposes marriage to his daughter, he is still worried about his daughter's figure in his heart, especially Su Xizhu has not come to menarche now.

Because there were more people who came to propose marriage to Su Xilan, and the quality was better, Zhou's vision was higher, but because the second master Su Xun was coming back, Zhou's energy was transferred, and he had no intention of marrying Su Xilan for the time being.

Su Rou was very excited about Zhao Yu's marriage at this time, this time her daughter showed her face at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and she performed well, a few good people handed the news to Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Qi looked at the list and didn't say anything, and directly gave Su Rou to let her look at it herself.

"The old lady let the second aunt and grandmother decide for herself?"

Mama Qi is a little strange, didn't the old lady think about using Zhao Yu to marry? Could it be that you have changed your mind? Although the people above are good inside, their official positions are really low, and they can't help the Hou Mansion at all.

"Do you want to guess which one Su Fang will choose?" Old Madam Qi looked at Mama Qi.

"The Hanlin Academy reviser, the eldest son of his family, although he did not enter the Jinshi this time, but also passed the examination, and the results are good and young, when he is young and promising, the key is that although the Hanlin Academy reviser is only from the official position of the sixth grade, but the family style is very good, and it is also considered rich, and the cousin girl married in the past

Zi Neng has a good life, and I think the second aunt and grandmother will choose his house. ”

Mama Qi analyzed it, although the family who asked her cousin for marriage still had the official position of Zhengwupin, but that family was to say goodbye to her concubine, I am afraid that the second aunt and grandmother would not be willing. Old Madam Qi didn't speak, but the smile on her face was a little indescribably meaningful.

Su Fang was indeed as Mama Qi thought, when Mrs. Qi gave her the list, she asked people to inquire about the situation of several families, and also asked Zhao Yuan to contact those sons, and in the end, Su Fang was indeed the eldest son of the Hanlin Academy cultivator.

The Hanlin Academy's family has a simple population, and the wife of the family can be regarded as good at business, and her life is quite rich, although the Hanlin Academy only has no real power to clear the name, but there is no danger, their two sons and one daughter are all descendants, this is what Su Fang values the most, Sister Yu married in the past, and the two of them should live a good life.

"I don't agree." Zhao Yu heard her mother say that she was a little unhappy, especially when the other party was still just an official position from the sixth grade, how could Zhao Yu, who was bent on marrying highly, accept it?

"Sister Yu, you heard my mother say that although your father is a five-rank official, he is not a Beijing official, and your father has passed away a long time ago, and people can take a fancy to us, which is also dragging the relationship between the Hou Mansion. This time you were rewarded at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, we have to take advantage of this east wind, otherwise the impact will be gone after a long time.

That Mu Ran Gongzi asked your brother to inquire, his family is upright and has some assets, the most important thing is that the son is not allowed to have a connecting house before he gets married, and the family motto is that he can only take a concubine if he has no children at thirty, and Mu Ran's son is a man at a young age, and his future is limitless. ”

The more Su Fang spoke, the more satisfied she became, and she couldn't wait to marry Zhao Yu immediately. Zhao Yu didn't think there was anything good, even if he was talented, but he had no background and how many years it would take to get ahead, and her father was also regarded as talented, and he was a five-grade official when he died.

"Hmph, he's older than his cousin, and his cousin is the first person in the Chunfu exam, what about Mu Ran? It's just that you passed the test, where is it called talented? ”

Zhao Yuke can't look down on Mu Ran, she is so beautiful, why should she marry a son of a poor family when she can marry a high-ranking family? Small assets? Can it be compared with the centennial noble? It's just that she can eat enough, and can she buy a few hundred taels to pack her clothes?

"Is Zhongli Shizi comparable to ordinary people?" Su Fang disagreed, all the sons of the Hou Mansion of Annan were not promoted, how could Mu Ran be able to be called talented.

"Anyway, I don't agree." Zhao Yu resolutely denied it.

"Sister Yu, the family affair is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of your parents, it's not that you don't agree, and your mother won't harm you." Su Fang didn't want her daughter to miss Mu Ran, and her tone was also very resolute.

Zhao Yu pursed her lips and didn't speak, Su Fang thought she agreed, so she was very happy, who knew that when she turned her head, she heard that Zhao Yu went to find Mu Ran and refused in person, and the angry Su Fang fell ill directly.

Mu Ran was studying in Guozijian, and I heard that it was a little strange for someone to find him, and it was even more strange to see Zhao Yu as a girl.

"I don't know why the girl is looking for me? I don't seem to have seen a girl in the next place? ”

Mu Ran had never seen this girl, but Mu Ran was very polite, even if the other party was a beautiful girl, he was not too enthusiastic, and kept a proper distance from Zhao Yu.

"You're Mu Ran?" Zhao Yu saw a somewhat handsome son come out, Mu

Ran's appearance is not bad, but he can't compare with Zhong Lishu and others, especially the handsome men and beauties who are used to seeing the Marquis of Annan's mansion, Zhao Yu looks down on Mu Ran even more.

"I am a cousin of the Hou Mansion of Annan, and your family asked my mother to marry, but I don't agree, and you don't want to become a grudge with your future wife, so I hope you can tell your parents not to go to my house to propose marriage."

Although the flow of people in this place is relatively small, Zhao Yu is still afraid of being seen, so he directly and concisely said the matter.

Mu Ran knew that the family had recently kissed him again, and he heard that the conversation was almost over, but he didn't expect the girl to be unwilling. Mu Ran also has self-esteem, since the other party is unwilling, he doesn't have to be reluctant.

"I know, the girl's meaning will be conveyed to my father and mother in the future."

"I hope you are the talker, cough, we have no fate with each other, so I don't want any bad rumors to come out, I am the cousin of the Hou Mansion of Annan, and the Hou Mansion does not want my famous teacher to be damaged."

Mu Ran knew that Zhao Yu didn't want to be dissatisfied and say something bad for her reputation to use the Marquis of Annan Mansion to pressure him, although Mu Ran was a little unhappy, but he was not a stingy person, and he would not affect the girl's reputation outside, so he nodded in agreement, Zhao Yu saw that Mu Ran knew the current affairs so well, and left immediately after the goal was achieved.

Su Fang was originally waiting for the Mu family to officially propose, but who knew that there was no news after a long time, so she asked people to inquire, and only then did she know what Zhao Yu had done, and she fainted in anger for a while.

The servant found out and asked for a doctor in time, but Su Fang knew that this good marriage was gone, and looked at Zhao Yu's unrepentant face and directly slapped her to confinement.

Although Zhao Yu was not happy to be slapped, she happily went to confinement after knowing that Su Fang would not move her mind to marry her for the time being.

Zhao Yu's matter Su Xizhu heard some regrets, but Old Madam Qi smiled and didn't ask, Mama Qi looked at Old Madam Qi.

"The old lady has long known that this marriage can't be done?" Otherwise, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy to give the list to Su Fang at the beginning.

"Sister Yu has been in the Hou Mansion for so many years, can't you see what kind of character she is? In Su Fang's eyes, a good marriage is not looked down on by her, how can such an ambitious girl be willing to be bland. "Old Madam Qi still admires Zhao Yu sometimes.

Mama Qi sighed, indeed, Miss Biao is probably bent on marrying, otherwise she would not have proposed to be a concubine for the eldest aunt.

Mama Qi looked at Mrs. Qi, could it be that the old lady had the idea of letting her cousin go to be a concubine for her eldest grandson? It's just that the eldest lady doesn't agree to this matter, and Mrs. Qi, as a grandmother, may not be able to interfere. And I'm afraid the eldest lady won't work anywhere.

Old Madam Qi didn't speak, but her face was slightly bad, Mama Qi sighed, she didn't want Old Madam Qi to interfere too much in Su Ximei's affairs, it was easy to be thankless.

"Why didn't Zhao Yu come today?" Xia Yun didn't see Zhao Yu a little strange, although Zhao Yu was not the best in the school, he definitely worked the hardest, even if he was sick, he wouldn't miss class, and of course Xia Yun was very curious when he didn't come suddenly.

"Cousin Yu did a stupid thing and was punished by the second aunt." Su Xizhu is really stupid Zhao Yu, the second aunt is really thinking about her, but unfortunately Zhao Yu doesn't appreciate it and makes the second aunt angry, alas.
