After the greetings, Chu's mother motioned for everyone to wait outside the flower hall.

Seeing this, Wang knew that he was going to talk about business next, although the smile on his face remained unchanged, but his back was subconsciously straight.

"Amei, go change the pot of tea." The Wang family casually found an excuse to branch Amei.

Seeing that everyone had withdrawn, Chu's mother smiled and said, "Madame sent me here today, and I really have something to ask for." ”

Wang said: "I would like to hear about it." ”

……

British Mansion.

Zhang Xi was shocked to learn that the British duchess had sent Chu's mother to Huang's house for questioning and wanted to marry Huang Yi'an for Zhang Lan.

"Brother Lan, Sister He'an?" Zhang Xi was so shocked that he couldn't say anything smooth, "How is this possible!" Mother, what do you think? ”

"What's impossible about that." The British duchess disagreed, "Look at your fussy appearance, do you still have the calm and calmness of a noble lady of a family?" ”

"I'm not ......" Zhang Xi opened his mouth to defend himself, and as soon as the words came out, he felt that it didn't matter if he defended or not, the most important thing at the moment was to figure out what was going on first!

"No, mother, how did you come up with the idea of asking Brother Lan to marry Sister An?" Zhang Xi was puzzled.

Obviously, Huang Yi'an has been to the British Mansion twice in total, and both times it was not very pleasant, especially the first time, he almost lost his life under Diecuixuan......

So, when did Sister Ann fall into her mother's eyes?

"It's not because of you!" The English duchess laughed.

"Because of me?!" Zhang Xi pointed to himself, stunned.

The British Duchess nodded and said with a smile: "Not really! If you hadn't kept saying 'Sister An' in front of me, how good it was, I would have thought about it? ”

Zhang Xi was stunned and asked, "Just because of this?" ”

When did her mother trust her so much? Just because of her few words, Brother Lan's life was directly decided?

"Of course it's more than that." The British duchess smiled, "I have already asked your sister-in-law to inquire in private, the Huang family has lived in the capital for generations, and the family background is innocent."

Although Lord Huang has a humble official position, he works diligently, has a good reputation among his colleagues, and gets along with his brother's family.

"Mrs. Huang was born in the northwest, and her parents unfortunately died at the hands of Wara Liukou, and the nurse Wang family escorted her all the way to the capital to join her family. Later, Wang's husband, son, and daughter-in-law unfortunately passed away one after another, and Mrs. Huang funded the burial. When Mrs. Huang married into the Huang family, she took the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Wang family to the mansion, and they were called the master and servant, but they were actually family members.

"Miss Huang's younger brother is also a well-behaved and generous child, according to the neighbors.

It can be seen that the Huang family has a good style.

"As for Miss Huang, you are full of praise, what else do I need to worry about? Brother Lan has an impatient temperament and needs a quiet and shrewd wife like Miss Huang to help her. ”

Zhang Xi muttered, "Mother has inquired so clearly...... When did I not know what was going on? ”

"I had the idea for a long time, and I inquired after Miss Huang's last visit." The British duchess took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"No wonder!" Zhang Xi suddenly realized when he heard this, "The last time Sister An came to the house, the reason why my mother agreed to Sister Yan temporarily invite Miss Shen and others to come to the door, and also asked my sister-in-law to entertain her, and indulged Sister Yan to embarrass her again and again, it turned out that she was deliberately testing Sister An!" ”

The British duchess was amused when she heard this: "Look at what you said, it looks like how I bullied your 'Sister An'." ”

Zhang Xi stuck out his tongue in embarrassment and giggled.

Laughing, the British duchess said solemnly: "Your Majesty has spoken, if I don't intend to investigate whether the child can afford to be the head of the family, why should I indulge in my sister's nonsense?" ”

Zhang Lan is a concubine, and he can stand on his own after getting married, and as his wife, he must be able to bear this responsibility.

"Having said that, if Sister An marries in, I'm afraid that Sister Yan won't ......like it," Zhang Xi worried.

"So this matter has to be hidden from Sister Yan for the time being." The British duchess sighed helplessly, "Sister Yan is now fourteen years old, and your sister-in-law has already helped find a suitable husband in private." After she gets married next year, how many times a year can she come back?

"Miss Huang is only 13 years old this year, and the family matter will not be officially mentioned until she is married. When she and Brother Lan become relatives, as long as they want, they can stand on their own at any time. In this way, she and Sister Yan don't have much chance to get along. ”

Zhang Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Listening to my mother's meaning, I don't plan to give Ming Xuan to the third brother, that's good!

"By the way, before the Huang family nods, you are not allowed to casually disclose this matter to others." The British Duchess advised, "If the family affair becomes a bad thing, if there are twists and turns, I am afraid that Miss Huang's reputation will be damaged." ”

"Don't worry!" Zhang Xi pointed his finger and swore an oath, "It's Sister An, I won't say it!" ”

One is to avoid Sister An's shyness, and the other is to prevent Sister An from being in the way of her affection with her, so she agreed to this family affair in a daze, wronged herself, and harmed Brother Lan.

The English Duchess nodded in satisfaction.

But the mother and daughter didn't expect that they didn't tell Huang Yi'an, but the Wang family waited for Chu's mother to leave, so they told Huang Yi'an about it.

"Amei, you take Brother Dong out to play." Wang sent Chu's mother away, then returned to the study, and commanded.

Huang Yi'an put down the needle and thread and restrained his smile.

Seeing her mother's solemn expression, isn't something big happening?

Huang Wei also put down the scroll and looked at it with a frown.

Seeing this, Ah Mei didn't dare to delay, so she pulled Huang Dong and went out, coaxing as she walked: "Young master, let's go catch crickets." ”

When Huang Dong heard this, he immediately trotted out of the study.

As soon as the others left, the Wang family closed the door, and before he could sit down, he said: "Mother Chu is here to say goodbye to Sister Xi, and she is talking about the fourth young master of the British Mansion, Zhang Lan." ”

When the father and daughter heard this, they were stunned.

After a long time, Huang Wei came back to his senses and frowned: "Sister Xi is still young!" ”

The implication is that he does not want to negotiate with the British government at the moment.

Huang Yi'an lowered his eyebrows and did not speak.

Even if she has an idea, as a girl in the boudoir, she is not in a hurry to express her opinion on her family affairs.

Wang said: "It is precisely because Sister Xi'er is young that Mrs. Guogong did not officially invite the media to discuss her relatives, but just asked Chu's mother to come to explore the situation first." Chu's mother said that the Duchess took pity on Sister Xi'er for her young age, and was ready to settle the family affairs first, and then formally invite the matchmaker to determine the marriage when Sister Xi and Sister Xi were married. ”

Hearing that the British duchess was so thoughtful, Huang Wei didn't know what to say for a while.

But when he thought of his daughter, who had been raised in the palm of his hand for more than ten years, was going to marry someone else's family, he felt like he was tearing out his heart, so his face was still not very good-looking.

Wang looked at Huang Yi'an, who was silent, thinking that she was shy, so he stepped forward and hugged her, and asked softly, "Sister Xi, what do you think?" ”

Although she also hopes that her daughter will marry rich and noble and have no worries in her life, the key is that the child likes it himself, so that she can live a good life.
