Seeing off Gu Er's grandmother, Ning Xia Qing avoided everyone, walked to Ah Zheng's side, and said, "Didn't you say that Zhao Xiang'e wanted to see me last time, you help me bring her a message and tell her that I will be free in the next two days." ”

Ah Zheng nodded, looked in the direction of Gu Er's grandmother's carriage leaving, and asked, "Just quit with the Shen family, and the Gu family came to propose marriage?" ”

Ning Xia Qing was stunned, nodded, and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Jade said. She's worried about you, and every time she comes to me, she has to say a few words to me. ”

Ning Xia Qing tilted his head and smiled dumbly.

Ah Zheng lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Gu family...... Not for you. After speaking, Ah Zheng left to work, leaving Ning Ningqing stunned.

Ningxia Qing thought secretly, and the Gu family ...... yes, it's not for her......

At this moment, Cao Shi found that she was not by his side, and called out "Qing'er." ”

Ningxia Qingwaner smiled and replied loudly: "Mother, I'm here." Then he walked over and asked Cao Shi in a low voice: "Mother, what do you think about the things mentioned by the Gu family?" ”

Cao's face was obviously flustered, but he stroked Ning Ningqing's hand, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, this matter has to be discussed with the old lady and the old man again." Don't worry, my mother will definitely plan for you. ”

Although Cao said it with a smile, Ning Xia Qing knew that Cao's heart must be flustered. With a high-ranking family like the Gu family coming to the door to propose marriage, being able to get the opportunity to marry the Gu family is simply equivalent to directly ascending to heaven, which is something that many people dare not imagine, but the Cao family is not that kind of person, the Cao family is not a person who wants to climb high branches, but the Cao family will worry about whether Ningxia Qing will be wronged because of this.

Ningxia Qing knew that the Cao family really just wanted Ningxia Qing to marry the right person, not seeking wealth and glory, but only wanting Ningxia Qing to be stable, not only to be able to live a peaceful life in her in-law's house, but also to use her mother's family as a backing to avoid being bullied.

Ningxia Qing said: "Mother, I'll go with you to discuss it with grandma." ”

Cao Shi said: "No, you go back first, I'll discuss it with the old lady." You are a big girl's family, it is not appropriate to say anything more about your own marriage, rest assured, your mother will think about it for you. ”

Ning Xia Qing had no choice but to nod and watch Cao go to find the old lady.

The Cao family took the Gu family's Geng post to the old lady's house, and said with a panicked face: "The Gu family even sent the Geng post, what can we do?" ”

The old lady took the Geng post from Cao's hand, looked at it with a frown for a long time, then raised her eyes to look at Cao's again, pursed her lips, and asked, "What do you think in your heart?" ”

Cao's family was extremely embarrassed: "The daughter-in-law thinks that the Gu family is a big family, the old lady of the Gu family is an old friend of the old lady, Qing'er has just retired, and she has reached this age...... Weddings should be done in the right place, we really don't deserve that kind of family, I don't really want to agree......"

The old lady tilted her head and said, "You don't want to agree?" ”

Cao hurriedly said: "The daughter-in-law is afraid that Qing'er will be wronged when she marries...... The daughter-in-law heard that the daughters-in-law of the Gu family are all from low backgrounds, and they are all strong family marriages, and our young children really can't compare. If Qing'er gets married, even if the Gu family doesn't look down on Qing'er, those mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law will inevitably show Qing'er's face openly and secretly, so how can it be good? ”

The old lady sighed and said, "You, you are too worried, what you said is indeed reasonable, but you only thought of the bad side, not the good side." The Gu family can take a fancy to Qing'er, so they naturally have also considered the strength of our family, but they still opened this mouth, which shows that the Gu family not only doesn't care about this, but even prepares for it. ”

Cao Shi was stunned when he heard this, and muttered, "This ...... It also makes sense. ”

The old lady continued: "Besides, the clan has been pressing on our family recently, and we don't have a brother in our family, and the clan is worried about our family's property. But if we can marry the Gu family, no one in the clan will dare to bully us anymore. Naturally, we don't expect to ascend to heaven through Qing'er's marriage, but if you want to protect yourself through this marriage, it's not too much, right? ”

Cao Shi nodded, and couldn't help asking, "So...... The old lady is going to say yes? ”

Old Mrs. Ning shook her head and said, "I'm not trying to agree, I'm just asking you not to think only about the bad, and don't make up your mind so quickly." This family affair is more complicated, we still have to discuss it with Yongda, and when I have time, I will take you to Gu Mansion to take a look, to see what that Gu Huailang is like, and to see if that child is worthy of Shangqing'er. ”

Cao Shi was stunned: "I'll go too?" This ......" Cao Shi showed a look of surprise, obviously starting to get nervous.

"Why can't you go?" Mrs. Ning hated iron and steel: "You didn't steal or rob, a serious woman, what can't you visit?" Besides, since the Gu family has come to propose, it is reasonable for us to visit the Gu family. ”

Cao nodded.

That night, the Cao family finished the matter and told Ning Yongda locally.

When Ning Yongda heard this, he and the old lady held almost the same point of view, Ning Yongda said: "Since the Gu family came to ask for marriage, they must have also considered the issue of the family, but the Gu family still sent Geng Ti here, and they must have weighed the pros and cons." Besides, if Qing'er marries and becomes a serious wife of the Gu family, she can also enjoy a lifetime of happiness. ”

Cao asked, "The lord approves of this marriage?" ”

Ning Yongda shook his head: "It's not in favor, I haven't thought about it yet." Didn't the old lady say that she was going to take you to visit Gu Mansion, take a good look at that Gu Huailang when you go. ”

The Cao family immediately understood, and hurriedly asked, "Does the master think that the reason why the Gu family asked Qing'er for marriage is because that Gu Huailang may have a problem?" ”

Ning Yongda said: "I can't say for sure. said that Gu Huailang is a concubine, and he has never been favored, but with the conditions of the Gu family, it is not difficult to match him with a lady, but the Gu family actually proposed to Qing'er, this is a strange thing, so I can't think about it too much. ”

Cao nodded.

Ning Yongda continued: "If there is nothing wrong with Gu Huailang, it is naturally good, and it also shows that the Gu family is indeed sincerely seeking to marry Qing'er. If Gu Huailang has some problems, we must not wronged Qing'er, and we can have a strong reason when we refuse. ”

Cao Shi hurriedly said respectfully: "It's still the old lady and the old man who have thought it through. Then when I pass, I must take a good look. If Gu Huailang has no problems, it is best, if there is a problem, then the Gu family is at a loss, and I will never agree to this family business. ”

Ning Yongda nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, didn't you add a new maid to your house a while ago, isn't it called Ai Lu?" ”

Cao's eyes flashed instantly, and he drooped down a little in disappointment, and asked, "Master, ...... this?"

Ning Yongda hurriedly waved his hand: "Oops! Where do you think of it! In this business, Ai Lu has made a lot of efforts, you think about it, see how to express it is more appropriate, and help me thank the girl. And Qing'er, Qing'er's eyes are really poisonous, even I can't compare, it's a pity, Qing'er is not a brother, alas, ......"

Ning Ningqing pondered about Gengti while folding the cyan long-colored long-aged smoke gauze gown. July has arrived, and Ningxia Qingzheng and Cuiyu are packing up their clothes for the change of season.

The slender fingers stayed on the long shirt, and even the eyes gradually drifted away.

When Cuiyu saw it, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Does the girl like this gown so much?" It's a pity that the weather is going to be cold, and this caftan can only be worn next year. ”

Ningxia Qing smiled and said nothing. She remembered that at the beginning of spring next year, the imperial court would send a job over, and what the imperial court wanted was the cage smoke yarn. In her previous life, she was already Tan Wenshi's wife, and Tan Wenshi ran back and forth to grab this list for Master Ning San, so that the pockets of Master Ning San and Tan Wenshi were full.

And it is precisely because of this batch of work of the imperial court that the people followed suit, and the cage tobacco yarn became popular for a while, and the price increased several times. If you can take advantage of the low price of cage tobacco yarn at this time, buy a large number of cage tobacco yarn, and throw it out next summer, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money. It's just that if you want to buy a large number of cage tobacco yarns, you need a lot of capital, and Ning Yongda may not agree.

She remembered that the best cage smoke yarn in the world was produced by the Luo family in Zizhou County. The Luo family and the Gu family are in-laws, and it is because of this that she was able to get a large number of scattered brocades from the Luo family through the Gu family. And now that the Gu family is proposing marriage, if she pushes this family business, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the Luo family's cage smoke yarn.

The next day, the Gu family sent a post, asking Mrs. Ning to bring Cao's, Ningxia Qing and Ningxia Zi to the door on July 7 to enjoy the lotus. Old Mrs. Ning and the Cao family began to prepare for this early, and the Cao family was even more nervous day and night.

On the sixth day of the seventh month, Gu Xuesong returned to Meigong County with Ren Zheng and served as the post of Meigong County's promotion of the city.

Gu Xuesong's carriage stopped in front of Nanmu Temple, Gu Xuesong walked down, looked at the plaque of Nanmu Temple, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

Guan Qi looked at the sky and asked, "Is Childe going to spend the night in the temple tonight?" ”

Gu Xuesong smiled lightly and said meaningfully: "Before I left, Master Duzhen said that I was afraid that I would be in danger on this trip. Now that I have turned evil into good fortune, I should naturally come back for advice. ”
