Ai Yonggui entered the door, and behind him was a woman in her forties, wearing heavy makeup.

Ai Qiaoqiao knew that this was the matchmaker who came to propose marriage to Ai Xiaoling.

When the matchmaker entered the door, she gave Ai Mingshan and Ma's Daoxi.

"Hey, you two elders are blessed, the Zhou Mansion is a big family, who doesn't know about ten miles and eight villages, if you don't believe it, go and inquire, the ancient trees planted in their yard are hundreds of years old, and the rice grain piled up in their rice warehouse can't be eaten for a few years, and the silk in the big warehouse can't be worn endlessly...... Even the goldfish kept in the water tank is also a pair of one hundred taels of silver, tsk, your little girl will wait to enjoy the blessings in the future. ”

Ma's eyes were hot when he heard this, and he saw the matchmaker take out a red envelope from her arms and put it on the table.

"This is a silver ticket of five hundred taels of silver given by the Zhou family, if you nod your head today, this is considered a dowry money, the Zhou Mansion is in a hurry to wait for the letter, in addition to your family, there are three daughters who also want to marry, but I am optimistic about your little girl, a fine and smart ......"

Ai Qiaoqiao didn't believe the matchmaker's words.

At the beginning, Ai Yonggui also said that Ai Qiaohua's family affair was married to enjoy happiness, but what was the result?

The blessing is enjoyed, but it has to carry the reputation of the outer room on its back, and it can't hold up its head for the rest of his life.

Ai Qiaoqiao peeked at Ma and Old Man Ai.

Ma's eyes sparkled when he saw the silver ticket on the table.

Old Man Ai was full of sadness.

Ai Qiaoqiao knew that the old man was strong, and if he wasn't forced to do so, he would never agree to marry Xiaoling.

Ai Yonggui behaved quite generously, "Dad, this family business is no more suitable, it's all my fault for the pretty flowers, Xiaoling is my daughter, the father's debt is repaid, it should be so, and marrying her is not to be a cow or a horse, the Zhou family has a group of servants, and she doesn't need to work at all." ”

Ma Shi smiled on his face, "That's right, how can such a rich family let their daughter-in-law work, I think this family business is good." ”

Ai Mingshan never spoke.

Ma Shi asked the matchmaker about the Zhou Mansion again.

The matchmaker's mouth immediately gushed like a river that opened the floodgates.

It's almost blowing the Zhou Mansion into the sky.

"I heard that the little son of the Zhou Mansion is sick, and he is in a hurry to get married in order to be happy...... I don't know if there's such a thing. Ai Mingshan interjected.

The matchmaker was stunned, and a smile bloomed on her face, like a dry chrysanthemum.

"Old man Ai is really well-informed, there is such a thing as Chongxi, but you don't have to worry, the Zhou Mansion is a treasure for this little boy, the little boy is only six years old, and our little girl is the best match, they all say that the childhood sweethearts have no guesses, they have grown up together, and the relationship will be bad in the future?"

"I don't know what disease Zhou Xiaogongzi has?" Ai Qiaoqiao asked.

If it's just an ordinary headache and brain fever, how can there be a rush to say it.

"Hey, you just put your heart in your stomach, the Zhou Mansion is a rich family, what kind of doctor can't be invited, what kind of medicinal materials can't be used, it's just a minor illness, it's just that Mrs. Zhou feels sorry for this son and hopes that he will have fewer illnesses and disasters in the future, so she wants to marry her daughter-in-law first before the Chinese New Year."

There is a folk legend that all the gods will go to heaven during the Chinese New Year, so there is no taboo on weddings and funerals at this time, and every day is a good day, so there is no need to pick at all.

The more Ai Qiaoqiao listened, the more suspicious she felt.

She still wanted to ask a few words, but suddenly heard the rain beside her gently pull the corner of her clothes.

Ai Qiaoqiao looked at Tingyu, but saw Tingyu pouting at her, as if she had something to say.

Ai Qiaoqiao was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Ye Liyan was the owner of Yicaotang.

In Huai'an City, Yicaotang is the largest medicine hall, if the little son of the Zhou Mansion really has any disease, if the condition is serious, he will definitely seek to go to Yicaotang.

Maybe...... That's what Listen to Rain wants to say.

But in front of so many people in the room, she couldn't ask about the rain.

I was looking for an opportunity to go out with the rain, when suddenly there was a noisy voice outside the courtyard.

Mixed with the sound of the wheels of the carriage was mixed.

"Old man Ai, your uncle has come to pick up the flowers and go back." The surrounding neighbors shouted outside the gate of the compound.

Ai Mingshan was shocked, and Ma Shi hurriedly pushed open the window.

I saw that many villagers gathered outside the gate, and three carriages stopped outside their courtyard gate in turn.

"Tsk, this pomp...... How blessed are your pretty flowers. ”

The villagers flattered, looking at the four well-dressed maids who came down from the carriage behind, each wearing embroidered jackets and silver hairpins on their heads, and at a glance they knew that they were from a large family.

Five women got out of the second carriage, and together they came to the first carriage, lifted the curtain, and helped down from it a woman with beaded hair and splendid clothes.

The villagers gathered at the door to watch the excitement looked at her curiously and whispered.

"Who is this woman?"

"I haven't seen it...... Isn't it Yuwen Gongzi who came to pick up the pretty flowers and go home, is this Yuwen Gongzi's mother? ”

"I'm blind, how old is this woman?"

The woman's expression darkened when she heard the discussion around her, but she did not say anything, but walked into the courtyard gate surrounded by many maids and women.

"Mother! I don't want to go back! Ai Qiaohua hugged Ma Shi in fright.

Ever since she learned that she was the Outer Chamber, it had become a nightmare for her.

What she feared the most was this scene.

None of them knew the woman in front of them, but the scene said it all.

Why is the person who came to pick her up not Yu Wenling, but this woman.

The woman went straight into the upper room and sat down arrogantly in front of everyone.

Ma Shi nervously took Qiaohua's hand, "You are ......"

"I'm Yuwenling's main wife, Rong." The woman glanced at the people in the room, and when she saw Ai Qiaoqiao's dress, her gaze softened slightly, but quickly looked away.

Ma Shi and Ai Mingshan were all like swallowing Coptis chinensis, and they were bitter.

Afraid of what comes.

They were afraid that this matter would spread out, but the Yuwen Mansion came to the main lady.

"My husband is a merciful man, let Qiaohua live at home for a few more days, but to marry a woman you have to have a woman, before sending someone to pick up to no avail, so I came over in person." After speaking, Rong glanced at the mother-in-law beside him.

The mother-in-law understood, took a few steps forward, and said to Ai Qiaohua, "Madame is here, why don't you come over and pay tribute." ”

Ai Qiaohua trembled with fright, grabbing Ma Shi and not letting go.

Seeing Ai Qiaohua like this, the mother-in-law raised her voice, "Ai Qiaohua, our lady treats you politely, don't be ignorant, if it was someone else's outer room, it would have been dragged to the street and killed, our lady will open up to you, why don't you come over and apologize." ”

Ai Qiaohua cried loudly, "I'm not the outer room, I'm not!" ”

Seeing this, the mother-in-law rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to pull Ai Qiaohua away.

"Our Yuwen Mansion values the rules the most, wouldn't it be a loss of face for our Mansion to be like you."

The mother-in-law's strength is greater than that of Ma's, and she ripped Ai Qiaohua off the kang at once.

Several other mothers-in-law around Rong's side also rushed over, holding Ai Qiaohua down with all hands and feet, forcing her to kneel in front of Rong's.

Ma screamed, "In broad daylight, is there any royal law!" ”

The Rong family ignored Ma's hysteria, and watched coldly as several mothers-in-law pressed Ai Qiaohua's head.

"The king has his own law, but it depends on who he is, like this kind of slut who sells himself into slavery, even if he is killed by us, it is also natural."

Rong Shi said as he reached out and took out Ai Qiaohua's deed of sale from his sleeve, and raised it in public, "I am dealing with the cheap slaves in our house, who dares to stop it, I don't mind going to the government to say it." ”

Everyone watched Ai Qiaohua being dragged out of the door by several mothers-in-law, and Ai Qiaohua's crying came from afar.
