Zhong Lingyu saw that Mama Wu had sat down, and then asked, "Mama is here so late, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Hmm." Mama Wu nodded, picked up the teacup on the table, plucked the tea leaves, but didn't drink it, stared at the teacup and hesitated for a moment, then turned her head and looked at Zhong Lingyu, "There is one thing, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"I know that Mama Wu is good to me, since you are here so late, this matter must be not small. You know my nature, and you can stand it. If there is anything to say, just say it. Zhong Lingyu said with a smile.

Mama Wu sighed, put the teacup on the table, and said, "No, since I was in the Sun Mansion, I saw you acting, and I liked it so much in my heart." It's not to flatter Miss in person, the old slave, I have also seen a lot of ladies with the old lady, but I really can't find a few of them with such a look and conduct as Miss. ”

Zhong Lingyu smiled embarrassedly; "I'm embarrassed to say that, Mama."

Mama Wu smiled, stared at Zhong Lingyu, and lowered her voice very low: "It's not just me who says this, but even the old lady thinks so." Just now, the old lady called the third lady and said that she wanted to marry the young lady to the third young master of our family. ”

"Huh?" The rain that pricked up its ears next to it let out a low cry.

Xiaogu hurriedly pinched her and glared at her hard.

Yuyu also knew that his actions were inappropriate, so he bit the corner of his mouth and quickly retreated to the shadow of the light, trying to reduce his presence.

Zhong Lingyu didn't have time to blame the rain, she was taken aback by the news that Mama Wu said.

Mama Wu saw that she was stunned and looked at herself, her expression was unpredictable, there were incredible, thoughtful, and hidden worries, and she didn't seem to be happy, she couldn't help frowning, and persuaded: "Miss, you have seen our third young master, for fear that he will be kind and kind, and his temperament will be good." Focused on books, there is not even a maid in the house. With his intelligence and the conditions of his family, it is not a problem to take the test for fame, and maybe in the future, like the second master, he will be admitted to the Jinshi and become a big official. You married him, and you had a good life. Moreover, you also know the situation of the Sun family, because you look similar to the deceased aunt, the old lady looks at you differently, and will definitely not ask someone to wronged you. Although the third master and the third wife are concubines, they are beneficial to the girls if they are concubines. At least the third wife doesn't dare to put up a stand in front of you, doesn't she? She is also a merchant, and she is not qualified to look down on your identity. Married to Sun Mansion, who else in the six counties of Fuling Mansion dares to trouble the Zhong family's big house? Such a good family affair, Miss don't be confused and push it out. ”

Zhong Lingyu lowered her eyelids, bit her lip, and asked, "What did the third lady say about this?" ”

Mama Wu said with a stunned expression: "Third lady...... Miss Su still has to keep three years of filial piety. The third young master is such an only son in the third room, and she wants the third young master to marry and inherit the incense as soon as possible. Saying this, she observed Zhong Lingyu's expression, and saw that she couldn't see her expression clearly with her head down, and she didn't say a word, so she couldn't help but persuade again, "It's normal for the third lady to have this thought." The old slave took the risk to come over tonight and tell Miss about this, also because he liked Miss too much, and he really didn't want to let such a good family affair slip out of Miss's hands. ”

She paused, and seeing that Zhong Lingyu still didn't speak, she continued: "Tomorrow morning, the old lady gets up, and I will go to her to persuade her cryptically and let the old lady stay with you for a few more days." In the past few days, Miss, you might as well seize the opportunity to get along with the third lady. According to Miss Yi's intelligence and ability, it is easy to please the third lady. As long as the third lady's attitude is soft, and the old slave helps the young lady to say good things in front of the old lady, this family business will be ordered. ”

Zhong Lingyu's eyelashes moved, and she finally spoke: "Thank you Mama for thinking of me, risking the punishment of the old lady and the third lady to tell me about this, Lingyu is grateful." With that, she stood up and blessed Mama Wu.

Mama Wu hurriedly helped her: "Miss, hurry up Mo Duoli, isn't this tormenting the old slave?" ”

Zhong Lingyu stretched out her hand and motioned for Mama Wu to sit down. The two sat down again, and Zhong Lingyu continued: "It's just that what the third lady said is also the truth. I really have to keep filial piety for three years. The third cousin is also seventeen this year, right? Wouldn't you be twenty years old if you wait another three years? If he has a brother, and the brother gives birth to a son, it is fine; But he was an only son. The third lady should marry him immediately. I'm ......," she looked down and shook her head, "I don't dare to think anything wrong." ”

"Oops! My young lady! Mama Wu tapped the table, "This kind of thing, at this time, how can there be humility?" If you don't fight for yourself in this situation in your family, who can help you? Besides, the third young master is seventeen years old and has not yet been engaged, don't you think there is a problem with the third lady's statement? She has always wanted to wait for the third young master to take the exam to show off her talents and become famous, so that she can marry a young lady from an official family as her daughter-in-law. But Miss, where are you worse than Miss Guan? In terms of appearance, ability, and dowry, how many official ladies are not as good as you. ”

Zhong Lingyu only shook his head and did not speak.

To be honest, it was precisely because she had come into contact with Sun Xuewen that she felt that the two were not a good match. Sun Xuewen is a bit nerdy. But in such a family, he will definitely not be able to protect his wife and children with such a temperament, and life will not be easy as his wife. There is Mrs. Sun's grandmother at the top, and the housekeeper aunt of the Bai family at the bottom. Guo's own daughter-in-law, life is not easy, let alone the daughter-in-law of the concubine. Looking at Sun Xuehui swallowing her anger in front of Sun Xuemiao, you can imagine that she really wants to marry in the future, she has been wronged, and she wants to count on her mother-in-law and husband to stand out for herself, which is impossible. There is no other way to go.

But she can't stand it.

Instead of being angry all day long and living aggrieved, it is better to marry a small family, ordinary people, and live happily.

It's just that these words, she really can't say them to Mama Wu. No matter what Mama Wu came to say this to her, on the surface, she was for her own good.

Seeing that Zhong Lingyu still shook her head, Mama Wu couldn't help but be anxious and asked, "What does Miss think?" Please give the old slave a clear word. ”

Zhong Lingyu raised her head at this time, but her eyes did not look at Mama Wu, but fell on the oil lamp on the table: "Qi Dafei, since the third lady thinks that I am not suitable in every way, it is useless for me to please her." Whether it's the family background or the time of marriage, it's not something I can fight for with my hard work, so I'd better not ask myself for humiliation. Otherwise, the reputation will be bad, and it will be difficult for this relative to move around in the future. ”

"How can Miss think that? How can you be defeated without a fight? Mama Wu was in a hurry, she really didn't think that Zhong Lingyu would give up this family business without even fighting for it, and finally said it thoroughly, "That's it, I'll tell you the bottom of it, Miss." In fact, as long as you can let the third young master take the initiative to ask the third lady to marry you, there is nothing that cannot be done. Moreover, with the protection of the third young master, even if you become a parent, you will not be angry with your mother-in-law. The third lady is such a son as the third young master, and she will point to him in the second half of her life, and she will be obedient to him. She stared at Zhong Lingyu's face, "What the old slave means, can the young lady understand?" ”
