Chapter 68
Tan Wenshi sent the Du family brothers and sisters to the entrance of the alley in a carriage, and then left.
When he was with his sister, Du Zhengshuo showed his shock, and sighed again and again: "The Gu family actually proposed to Qing'er, and Tan Ye actually had an interest in Qing'er, what kind of shit luck did the Ning family take?!" ”
Du Qiutong said hatefully: "Isn't it that my aunt went to great lengths to climb the Gu family?" Hmph, our aunt is cowardly and kind on the surface, but in fact she is vicious and selfish! My mother entrusted me to my aunt, but I didn't expect that my aunt only had her own daughter in her eyes, and she tried her best to climb the Gu family for her daughter, but she didn't even want to give me a little oil and water, maybe she deliberately guarded against me, for fear that I would steal the limelight from her daughter! ”
Speaking of this, Du Qiutong couldn't help but curse resentfully: "She is so mean to me, I don't know what kind of face she will have to go underground to see her mother when she dies?!" ”
Du Zhengshuo echoed again and again: "Our aunt is like this, she doesn't want to be embarrassed herself, and it's not a matter of a year or two." The Ning family is the same, on the surface, they treat us as relatives, but in fact, they don't take us seriously at all, they are all a group of wolf-hearted white-eyed wolves! I heard that recently our family went to the store to get the materials, but my aunt didn't come forward, so we didn't get any materials, what's going on? ”
Du Qiutong took a sip: "It's all a ghost made by Ningxia Qing!" She took the account books of previous years and squeezed her aunt, saying that our family had taken too much material. In my opinion, maybe it's my aunt and uncle who are embarrassed to come forward, so they secretly instructed Ningxia Qing to come out, the Ning family doesn't have a good thing, on the surface they say they are relatives, but in fact, they treat us as a burden! ”
Du Zhengshuo was surprised: "Qing'er actually ......" and then sighed again and again, as if he couldn't believe that such a thing actually came from the beautiful and delicate Ningxia Qing.
Du Qiutong said coldly: "What else do you call 'Qing'er'?" Since you already know that Tan Ye is interested in Ningxia Qing, it's time to change your mind in the future, right? ”
"Yes, yes......" Du Zhengshuo smiled wryly, and then said: "I really didn't expect that Tan Ye was actually interested in the young girl, I have to pay attention in the future, so as not to annoy Tan Ye." Speaking of which, between you and Tan Ye...... Now that Tan Ye is interested in Qing'er, what should you do? ”
Du Qiutong replied lightly: "You don't need to worry about this. ”
Du Zhengshuo was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
Du Qiutong sneered and said, "What if everyone has a crush on her? She also has to be able to marry to be useful. No matter how beautiful the dish is, as long as it doesn't get into your mouth, it's not hers. ”
Du Zhengshuo frowned: "What do you mean?" Do you have a way to make her unable to get married? ”
"It's man-made, I'll go back to Ning's house tomorrow." Du Qiutong's eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice: "I want to snatch everything from Ningxia Qing little by little!" I want to marry into the Gu Mansion for her, get Tan Wenshi's heart for her, and then trample her under my feet, there will definitely be this day! ”
Whether it is Tan Wenshi or Gu Fu, Du Qiutong has to grab it!
The next day, Ningxia Qing got up and went to see Cao.
Cao's complexion was obviously better than a few days ago, with a faint smile on his face, obviously a person in good spirits on a happy occasion, and asked Ning Xia Qing with a smile: "You also saw the fifth prince yesterday, although the appearance is not handsome, but it is not ugly, I heard that there have been no confiscated people so far, I look quite honest, although I don't like to talk much, but it is quite kind, what do you think?" ”
Ningxia Qing lowered her eyes and asked, "Is my mother optimistic?" Decided to say yes? ”
Cao sighed slightly: "The Shen family made such a fuss before, I really thought that you would not be able to marry for the rest of your life, I was ready to support you for a lifetime, but I didn't expect that you would be at this age, and you could have such a serious family to propose marriage." ”
Cao Shi said slowly: "I heard that the Gu family came to propose marriage, and your father was still worried about whether the fifth son would be a little problematic, so he wanted to marry low, but yesterday, although the fifth son is not outstanding, it is not bad." Think about it realistically, if you marry him, at least you will have no worries for the rest of your life, if you don't marry, I am afraid that the people who seek marriage in the future will not be able to beat him, and you will be even more wronged. ”
Ning Xia Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Mother knows that the Gu family and the Shen family have always had a close relationship, and even Mrs. Shen went to Mrs. Gu's birthday banquet." ”
"Alas, I forgot about it." Cao Shi immediately became worried: "This is indeed a problem...... If you get married, you will inevitably have to meet Mrs. Shen...... However, the Gu family knew that you had married the Shen family in the past, but you still came to propose marriage, I think, the Gu family should not mind, and they are also ready for you to meet Mrs. Shen in the future. ”
Ningxia Qingdao: "Mother, this matter is urgent, let me think again." Grandpa's death day is coming, let's wait for grandpa's death day to pass before we discuss it, as long as we tell Gu Fu like this, Gu Fu can understand. ”
Cao Shi was stunned, glanced at Ning Xia Qing's expression, and saw that Ning Xia Qing's face was not shy of a woman, not at all like the appearance of an ordinary woman to be married, Cao's heart was clear, and asked in a low voice: "Qing'er, in fact, ...... You don't like it, do you? ”
Ning Xia Qing showed a reassuring smile and said: "Mother, this matter is too complicated, there are too many factors to consider for people like Gu Mansion, this family matter needs to be cautious, Mother will give me a little more time to think about it." ”
Cao Shi nodded: "Well, that's right, you can't be impatient in marriage, and if you make a mistake, you will miss it for life." Qing'er, you think about it slowly, if Gu Fu asks the old lady, my mother will block it for you. Although my mother thinks that this opportunity is rare and you should seize it, she is not willing to force you, after all, it is your marriage, or you like it most. ”
Ning Xia Qing smiled, and then came out of Cao's house, as soon as he walked out of Cao's house, the smile on Ning Ningqing's face immediately disappeared, and he looked sad.
In fact, what she said was from her heart, this family affair is too complicated, too complicated.
According to the time of his previous life, half a year later, Shen Zhiyuan will marry Gu Yimeng. If she marries into the Gu family again, Shen Zhiyuan and Gu Yimeng will call her "fifth sister-in-law", which will be extremely embarrassing, and someone will definitely gossip about it.
If Gu Huaiteng was a favored young master, naturally no one would dare to say half a sentence about Ningxia Qing, but Gu Huaiteng was cowardly and couldn't speak at all in the Gu Mansion. At that time, her life in the Gu Mansion will never be easy, and Gu Huaiteng will not only not be able to protect her, but may even be implicated by her and targeted by those who try to attack Gu Er's grandmother.
The matter of marrying high is a double-edged sword, you have to enjoy glory and wealth all your life without pretense, but you also have to bear the intrigue in the courtyard of the deep house, where the undercurrent is turbulent, she had known some in her previous life, and that is definitely not what a small family like the Ning family can imagine.
Although this family affair is rich and beautiful, it can't give her what she wants, and she can't get the benefits she wants from this marriage, and it may even be counterproductive. For her, Gu Huaiteng is really not a good match.
Ning Xia Qing felt that this marriage should still be rejected.
But if you rashly refuse the Gu Mansion, you will definitely get into trouble. If you don't give a very suitable reason and rashly refuse, it is equivalent to slapping Gu Fu in the face, everyone will laugh at Gu Fu, saying that Gu Fu is a wealthy family who has failed to marry the daughter of a small businessman, and when the time comes, Gu Fu will definitely hate the Ning family to death.
Even if the Gu Mansion is in the way of saving face and will not retaliate against the Ning family, it does not mean that it will not do anything secretly.
Even if Gu Fu didn't move anything, the Ning family had completely lost such a powerful ally as Gu Fu, and the road to business would inevitably increase in danger, and those clansmen who were eyeing Ning Yongda would definitely attack Ning Yongda like rats that smelled it, trying to divide and eat it.
At this moment, a delicate voice sounded, and there seemed to be surprise in the tone: "Cousin, I'm back!" ”
As soon as Ning Xia Qingyi looked up, he saw Du Qiutong looking at him with a smile, obviously coming back from the Du family. Ning Xia Qing nodded and said, "You finally met your uncle, why are you in a hurry to come back?" Is my uncle-in-law going out again? ”
"Yes, my dad finally came back once, and he was going out again, and my brother was going to follow the boat, so I came back." Du Qiutong gave the burden to Jin Feng and asked Jin Feng to go back to the room first, Du Qiutong affectionately grabbed Ning Ningqing's arm and said, "I didn't expect to really meet my cousin last night, I'm so happy!" Unfortunately, it suddenly rained, and I couldn't go shopping with my cousin. ”
Ning Ningqing was full of worries at the moment, too lazy to entangle with Du Qiutong, just smiled faintly, pushed Du Qiutong who was holding his arm away, and said angrily: "You are fourteen years old, you are a big girl, why are you still like a child, more sticky than Zi'er." You went out shopping last night and came back early this morning, you must be tired, go and rest. ”
Du Qiutong didn't give up: "Cousin, don't worry about me, I'm not tired at all." I just want to stick to my cousin, and when my cousin gets married in the future, even if I want to stick to my cousin, I can't stick to it. ”
When Ning Xia Qing heard this, his heart moved.
Ning Xia Qing pretended to be gentle and said, "Don't talk nonsense! It's not decided yet. ”
Du Qiutong was stunned for a moment, and then said tentatively: "Don't be shy, cousin, didn't my aunt take my cousin to Gu's house yesterday, this matter must be a certainty." ”
Ning Ningqing grimaced and said seriously: "I didn't lie to you, what I said is true." My grandfather's death day is approaching, and it is not appropriate to discuss marriage at this time, and my mother and I will not think about it until my grandfather's death day has passed. ”
Du Qiutong looked at Ning Ningqing in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ning Ningqing stretched out his hand and tapped the tip of Du Qiutong's nose, and quipped: "Also, you are a big girl, how come you are married all day long, I think you want to get married, don't you?" ”
"Cousin, you're making fun of me again!" Du Qiutong said angrily, but there was a secret joy in his eyes that was difficult to hide, and this secret was clearly seen by Ningxia Qing. Du Qiutong promised: "Okay, I will never joke about my cousin's marriage again, okay?" ”
"I know you're obedient." Ning Xia Qing smiled softly and said, "Okay, go and rest, I see that you are not very energetic, you must not have slept enough, right?" ”
"Uh-huh, then I'll go back!" After speaking, Du Qiutong walked into the house.
Ning Xia Qing looked at Du Qiutong's back, and saw that although Du Qiutong was still tense and walking weakly, he could take a closer look at Du Qiutong's footsteps, and it seemed to be with irrepressible excitement and excitement.
Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but sneer. In his heart, Du Qiutong is really a good cousin, he is just rushing to help his cousin send charcoal in the snow, since the good cousin can't hold it back, it is better to do the cousin a favor and help the cousin solve this urgent need, the cousin believes that with the means of a good cousin, the cousin no longer has to worry about this matter.
Ningxia Qing knew that Du Qiutong and Tan Wenshi had colluded together, but he didn't know if Tan Wenshi would interfere in this matter.
Ningxia Qing hoped that Tan Wenshi would intervene and let Tan Wenshi promote Du Qiutong's actions, and Du Qiutong would have a greater chance of success. But Ning Xia Qing felt that Tan Wenshi should not be in the mood to care about this kind of thing, the batch of woven gold brocade smashed by Master Ning San in his hand was a hot potato, Tan Wenshi must be busy with shipments now, and he may not be able to spare his energy to take care of this matter at all.
Thinking of business, Ning Xia Qing couldn't help frowning, and he didn't know how his business was going. Ning Yongda has already cooperated with Miao Laosan to go to the south to run a boat to buy goods, but I don't know how to talk about it. Miao Laosan has always been ghostly, and he may not be trustworthy, and this matter may be risky.
