Zhang Yanjing has been much more friendly to her since she inquired about Ye Qiu's intentions that day, and sometimes she is willing to take her with her when she goes out to socialize and play.

Ye Qiu saw that she sincerely expressed her kindness, and she really needed to learn, and most of them followed her, but she was a filial piety girl in the end, and there were many occasions that needed to be taboo, so she didn't go with her.

The old lady loved her, often called her to her, and tried to introduce her to the other two cousins who were studying in the academy, which made Ye Qiu distressed, and for this reason, the second aunt who came back from the temple a few days ago also beat her.

There is no other meaning in the words, that is, she is an orphan girl, and she is not worthy of the second young master and the fifth young master from the second master in this mansion, so that she died as soon as possible, in order to prevent her, the two cousins who should have returned to the house at the end of the month did not come back.

Ye Qiu didn't mean to climb high in her heart, but everyone in this mansion didn't believe it, everyone thought she was a bewitching daughter, and she was on guard against something, even if she said it so clearly before, the eldest aunt never allowed her to have a chance to get close to the eldest cousin.

"Auntie, I really don't mean that to my two cousins, can you just let it go for me?" Ye Qiu said helplessly.

Why is that? You say you don't have any thoughts about your eldest cousin, but you haven't met the other two cousins, how do you know they don't agree with you? "The old lady is really thinking about Ye Qiu, her niece and granddaughter are an orphan girl, if she marries someone else's family, she is not at ease, only to put it under her nose.

The old lady was sad when she saw Ye Qiu, and she made a tone of decision for her: "Are you afraid that your second aunt will not like you?" Am I her mother-in-law? I want to protect you, what else does she dare to say? ”

At this time, the second wife, Duan, was about to come in to say goodbye, and when she heard this, she was so angry that her nose was about to crooked, her face was blue and white, her two hands were pulling the handkerchief, and the steps to go in stopped, she wanted to hear what these two people wanted to arrange her, and wanted her two sons to marry such a woman, there was no such possibility!

"Auntie, I know that you really love me, but I am helpless except for you, can you suppress your second aunt for a while, can you suppress her for a lifetime? How will I deal with myself then? ”

"Qiu'er, your aunt and grandmother are still quite strong, it will not be a problem to live for another ten years, and then you should give birth to a child, with a child by your side, your second aunt should also be more scruples, or are you not sure to capture your cousin's heart? The second child is a filial person, I will tell him before I die, and your second uncle will protect you instead of me. The old lady said and glanced out the door, could she not know her own yard? She deliberately said it to the second daughter-in-law outside.

The Duan family outside the courtyard was really depressed for a while, she had endured this unreasonable old lady for half her life, could she still be angry with her daughter-in-law for the rest of her life? There is no such reason in the world!

If you want her husband to suppress her, how much does her husband know about the backyard? If Ye Qiu really dares to marry, she has a way to torture this mourning girl to death.

"Auntie, you're so nice to me, but I'm still not happy." Ye Qiu said on the old lady's knee.

"Why? Auntie and grandmother won't hurt you. The old lady said lovingly stroking her head.

"Although I am an orphan girl, I don't want to be said to be beaten in the autumn wind, aunt and grandmother, you love me to give me some silver money and jewelry, but I don't dare to respond to the marriage with this Hou Mansion, I am already very grateful to be able to live in this Hou Mansion, how dare I ruin the future of my two cousins? They could have married a noble girl with the same background as theirs, and the Yue family could also be a help for their cousins on their way forward, if they married me, what else could I do but hold them back? Ye Qiu said eloquently, once again peeling off his true heart and saying.

The second lady outside the door softened her face slightly when she heard her words, and her eyes seemed to say that she was still a little self-aware.

However, the old lady said: "A manly husband should seek his own future, your uncle and grandfather were poor and white, didn't they work hard to build this huge Hou Mansion?" ”

Ye Qiu chuckled: "How can the situation at that time be compared with now? Auntie, I really don't want to get married, in the future, if you find a man with an ordinary family background for me, I will be very happy, at least I am also the cousin of this Hou Mansion, and others will not dare to bully me if I marry into an ordinary family. ”

"But what do I say, when the time comes, your cousin and sister-in-law will all have a fate, and you are the only one who marries into an ordinary family, won't you have nothing to do with wealth and nobility for the rest of your life?"

"How could it be not? Didn't you give me so much jewelry, grandmother? How can ordinary people have so much treasure? ”

"What is that? And what about jewelry? Power is the most important thing. ”

"Didn't my aunt come here when she didn't find me before? It's not so good, aunt and grandmother, I really don't feel wronged, my father was seriously ill, I thought that this life was hopeless, it was you who took me back, I can keep the property left by my father, and I can have you plan for my future, I am already very content, and I dare not climb higher. ”

"Are you really willing?" The old lady sighed and sighed.

"Really." Ye Qiu raised three fingers and swore.

"But you are the only descendant of my mother's family, how can you let me let you suffer?" The old lady still couldn't bear it.

"It's not bitter, it's really not bitter at all, if you pity me, aunt, grandmother, you will keep me for two more years, and in the future, you will tell me that you have a simple family background, and your mother-in-law is kind, if it is convenient for your uncle, then find a messenger for that kid, where will it be hard? If you are still reluctant, marry me closer, so that I can come to the house and visit you at any time. ”

The old lady saw that Ye Qiu insisted on this, and she didn't dare to force each other anymore, so she took a step back and said: "Since you say so, let's just leave it at that, anyway, there are still two years before you become filial piety, if you change your mind in these two years, your aunt and grandmother will also make decisions for you at any time." ”

Ye Qiu saw that the old lady really let go now, and immediately smiled: "Thank you, Grandma, I know that Grandma is the best for me, I really hope that I will never marry and stay by my aunt's grandmother's side for a lifetime." ”

"Nonsense." The old lady nodded her forehead, "How can there be a girl who doesn't marry, and she can't be pointed to death, even my wife and son will say that I am old and confused." ”

This is where Ye Qiu sighed, this world is like this, if a woman does not get married, there is no other choice but to go to the temple, and she will be blamed along with her family.

First, she couldn't stand the hardships in the temple, and she didn't want to hurt her old lady for her reputation, so she must marry in the future, but in this era of blind marriage and dumb marriage, it is really not easy to find a husband who is agreeable.
