Chapter 81 Agree to the conditions and withdraw from the marriage
After the shopkeeper turned around and left the private room, she did not send anyone to deliver the letter, but turned a corner and went to another private room.
Respectfully said to the people in the elegant room: "Girl, the Miss Lan family came last time. It seemed that she was in a hurry, and her subordinates arranged for her to wait in the private room last time. ”
Sitting in the elegant room was the woman who met Lan Ziyu last time, she smiled slightly, and then said, "Sure enough, let the master say right, let her wait." ”
"Yes." The shopkeeper stepped back.
The woman drank the tea unhurriedly, but in her heart she wanted to make Lan Ziyu wait a few more hours. Let her know that it is now her who comes to the door and begs their master to find a way out for her.
In Lan Ziyu's elegant room, a pot of tea and a plate of pastries were placed. However, where is she in the mood to eat at this moment? She sat there on pins and needles, anxiously awaiting the woman she had last seen. I wondered if the woman would see her. Don't you know that the girl is sitting in the private room next to her at this moment.
After two hours, Lan Ziyu sat inside and was a little flustered, afraid that the shopkeeper would come in and tell her that the girl was not coming. If that was the case, she could only ask her mother to give her some silver taels and let her avoid the limelight first.
Just when her thoughts were a little confused, the door suddenly opened, and she looked up to see that it was the girl, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman smiled and said, "Miss Lan, I haven't seen you for a long time." I heard you're in a hurry to find me? ”
Lan Ziyu was a little excited, poured a sip of tea, and then said, "Yes, Ziyu has something to discuss with you." I don't know, I wonder if what the girl said last time still counts? ”
The woman looked Lan Ziyu up and down, sighed, and then sat down unhurriedly. When Lan Ziyu saw her expression, she was immediately a little flustered. Then he continued: "Didn't the girl say last time that she wanted me to help your master and princess...... I thought about it, but there was one condition. ”
The woman looked at Lan Ziyu, laughed out loud, and then said, "I said Miss Lan, last time our master's condition was to let you go to Ruyi Zhai three days after that day. But you didn't show up. When our master found out, he dispelled this idea, after all, there are many girls like you in the capital. What's wrong with you, all of a sudden, you changed your mind? ”
"I, I figured it out of the blue. Three days was too short, I thought about it for a few more days, and now I think about it. Lan Ziyu thought of a reason and said.
"Oh? I see. Miss Lan, you've missed that day. So, even if you figure it out, our master won't agree. The woman said with a hint of sly sly in her eyes.
When Lan Ziyu heard this, he took a step back. She was now penniless, and she had decided to come out on the spur of the moment, without taking any money. Even Cui'er didn't follow her, how could she tell her mother to give her money? Now, as long as she can get the woman in front of her to agree to her request, she will try anything.
So, she said weakly: "Actually, Ziyu told the girl the truth." A few days ago, the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites proposed to my father that he wanted to marry me. My father actually agreed, but I didn't want to get married. It suddenly occurred to me that for the sake of today's plan, only the master behind the girl could help me. Therefore, I will agree to her request. ”
"Huh? He Zhi'an, the son of the Ministry of Rites? If you can marry him as a wife, it would be good. The woman said with a smile covering her lips.
The girl laughed, who didn't know that he was ridiculous, and there were eight concubines in the family. Ziyu will never marry him, and ask the girl to plead with your master for me. Lan Ziyu suddenly knelt down and said.
When the woman saw it, she hurriedly helped Lan Ziyu up, and then said, "Miss Lan is serious, how do you want us to help you?" ”
When Lan Ziyu heard this, maybe this woman should help her, so she blurted out: "Help me cancel the marriage contract, and I will agree to the mother's request!" ”
"That's it? Don't want to plan for your future anymore? The woman asked tentatively.
Lan Ziyu smiled bitterly: "Ziyu has already arrived at such a field, or think about how to get out of the sea of suffering first, then dare to hope for the future?" ”
"Okay, since Miss Lan has made up her mind, then you are waiting for my good news in Ruyi Zhai." The woman got up to leave the room.
Lan Ziyu couldn't believe it when she heard it: "What the girl said is true?" ”
"Of course it's true, I can still fool you. If I don't come back tonight, you can rest here, and I will inform the shopkeeper, and you can rest assured. After the woman promised Lan Ziyu, she left the private room.
After she left, she said a few words to the shopkeeper and then returned to the palace.
"Master, that's the way it is, ......you see," the woman said respectfully. Everything still needs the master's will, so she asked.
"Well, let her live in Ruyi Zhai tonight. It's good for you to go and tell her tomorrow, and let her taste the waiting. Concubine Shu said with a smile.
"Yes." The woman left the dormitory.
After Lan Ziyu saw the woman, she was still a little uneasy in her heart. was afraid that the master behind the woman would not agree, so she didn't sleep well at night. Early the next morning, I got up with two dark circles under my eyes.
When the woman came to Ruyizhai again, she smiled and said, "Miss Lan, didn't you rest well last night?" ”
The girl laughed, how can I sleep soundly in such a situation. It's just that I don't know how your master decides? Lan Ziyu was very anxious, so she didn't have time to deal with the woman.
"Miss Lan is really anxious, you know what my master means. After she learned about your situation, she felt that if you married the concubine of the He family, she would indeed be wronged. So, I gave you another chance. The woman said slowly.
"What you say is true? Is it that your master promised to help me get out of the marriage? Lan Ziyu's eyes lit up.
"Of course, but the divorced master doesn't have to come forward at all. All you have to do now is relax and go home and wait for news. The woman continued.
"You say, let me go home? What if ......" Lan Ziyu asked with some hesitation.
"No case, if the master promised you, it will be no problem. You go back first, and you'll know when the time comes. The woman said with a smile.
Lan Ziyu was still a little hesitant, but now she could only listen to the words of the woman in front of her.
The woman could see that Lan Ziyu was still a little suspicious, so she smiled and persuaded her: "Our master said that in a few days, we will summon you." At that time, if you successfully withdraw from the marriage, please remember your promise. ”
Lan Ziyu finally believed the words of the woman in front of her, and then after thanking the woman for her kindness, she secretly returned to the Lan Mansion.
The guard at the door of the Blue Mansion saw that the eldest lady was back, and hurriedly said, "Eldest Miss, you are back, the master is in a hurry." ”
"Got it." Lan Ziyu didn't have the time to say anything, she was now thinking about when the He family would come to quit.
Lan Ziyu hurried to his yard, only to hear Master Lan's voice: "Stop, it's getting more and more disagreeable." Look at how you look like the daughter of the Lan family, how difficult it is to set up a family affair for you, if the news of the escape is known to the He family, what do you say? ”
Lan Ziyu didn't want to say more to his father, so he had to say: "Ziyu knows that he is wrong, please punish his father." ”
Originally, Master Lan was very angry, and after he said this, he thought that Lan Ziyu would definitely refute his words, but as a result, not only did he not refute, but he also admitted his mistake to her. Old Man Lan didn't know what to say, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good to know your mistake, you can go back to the courtyard first." ”
"Yes." After Lan Ziyu returned to the courtyard, Mrs. Lan was a little surprised when she heard that Lan Ziyu had returned home. He hurriedly went to Lan Ziyu's courtyard and asked, "Ziyu, why did you come back?" ”
"Mother don't worry, Ziyu has already met that person, and that person said that she will definitely fulfill her daughter's wish." Lan Ziyu whispered.
Madame Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said distressedly, "That's fine." ”
At this time, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites came to the door in person, and Master Lan was a little at a loss when he knew about it, so he called Mrs. to come and see him.
After Mrs. Lan saw Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, she asked respectfully, "Dare to ask Mrs. ...... to come to the door?"
It stands to reason that the two families have already changed the stickers, just waiting for the bride to enter the door after calculating the good days. What does Mrs. Lady of the Ministry of Rites mean?
Mrs. Shangshu said with some embarrassment: "This matter is really difficult to speak. Someone, send the gift first. ”
All the people brought by Mrs. Shangshu walked in, and then gave a large box of gifts. Mrs. Lan doesn't understand this, their lord is a businessman, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is an official. Today this seems to be a bit too much......
Mrs. Shangshu said with a smile: "Mrs. Lan, I am here to withdraw from the marriage today. How to say this. Blame that hateful son of mine. It's just too uncompromising! ”
Mrs. Lan looked at Mrs. Shangshu with doubts, from what she looked at in Mrs. Shangshu's eyes, she couldn't tell that she really blamed her son, why did she look complacent?
"Mrs. Shangshu, although my Lan family is not as good as Shangshu Mansion. However, it was My son-in-law who personally came to the door to ask for marriage. It's only been a few days, why did you suddenly withdraw from the marriage? Mrs. Lan immediately said the truth, accepted the gift and told Mrs. Shangshu to get out. However, she had to figure out what was going on, otherwise it didn't seem appropriate for Ziyu to be engaged and get divorced.
"Alas, yesterday, my son went out drinking with the son of the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department, but somehow, when he woke up, he slept with the second lady of the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department. In this matter, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department did not give up early in the morning, let us give her an explanation. Although the second lady is a concubine, she is also an official woman, so we can't treat it badly. Therefore, I didn't dare to wronged Miss Lan, so I had to withdraw from the marriage. The fault of this matter lies in Shangshu Mansion, so I came here today to make amends and give gifts. Mrs. Shangshu said helplessly.
