Chapter 63: Inquiring

After the Ouyang clan got the approval of the eldest princess of Yongshou again, he immediately returned to his courtyard.

She needs someone she can trust to run for her, but this person can't be from the Eldest Princess of Yongshou's Mansion, otherwise before the dust settles, if the news leaks and the eldest princess in the palace knows, I'm afraid it will be a bad thing.

Ouyang thought about it, and finally thought of a suitable candidate, so he hurriedly called people over and asked them to go out of the house to find people.

Ouyang was looking forward to it at home, and it was easy to stay up until the afternoon, and finally the person she was thinking about came.

The person who came was a middle-aged woman of the same age as Ouyang's, wearing a simple cyan dress, and only a hosta with a jade hairpin on her head. Although he is dressed simply, his appearance and bearing are average.

"I've seen the second lady." When the woman saw Ouyang, her eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly, and she stepped forward to salute Ouyang with tears.

"Hey, get up, get up." When Ouyang saw the person, his eyes were also sour, and he got up and walked two steps quickly to help the woman up. "You are no longer my slave, now you are a good citizen, you don't have to be so polite to me."

"The second lady is magnanimous, but I can't help but remember my kindness." The woman wept. "Without the support of the second lady, where would my family be able to get rid of slavery and live a good life today."

This woman's original name was Ma Liancui, and their family was originally the son of Ouyang's mother's family. Ma's mother is Ouyang's nursing mother, and Ma also grew up with Ouyang.

When the Ouyang family got married, the first thing he did was to order Ma's mother and daughter to be her dowry. When Ma's mother was old, she canceled Ma's mother's slavery and allowed her to go back to her son's house to spend her old age in peace. When Ma reached the age of twenty-five, Ouyang personally asked her opinion and promised her to a steward of the mansion of the eldest princess of eternal life. After marriage, the husband and wife were in harmony and served under the Ouyang family.

Until Ma's two sons grew up, under Ouyang's arrangement, both children went to private schools outside the house, and both children were good children with good prospects and were quite talented in reading.

It's just that Ma and her husband are both slaves, and their two children are slaves, so they can't participate in the scientific expedition.

Ma wept, and did not think of complaining to Ouyang, but Ouyang saw that she was wrong and took the initiative to ask.

After the Ouyang family learned about the matter, he thought that the identity of the Ma family was easy to deal with, she was the marriage of the Ouyang family, and the slave list was in the hands of the Ouyang family, and the Ouyang family only had to send someone to take the list and go to Jingzhao Yin Yamen for a trip.

However, the slavery of Ma's husband and son belonged to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou, and Ouyang, as the second daughter-in-law of the eldest princess of Yongshou, did not care about anything in the mansion. The eldest princess of Yongshou is also impatient to worry about housework, and now the housekeeping is managed by her eldest daughter-in-law, He.

Ouyang thanked the Ma mother and daughter for many years of companionship, and personally went to the eldest princess of Yongshou to discuss the matter with the He family. For the sake of Ouyang's face, the eldest princess of Yongshou agreed to her request, and on the second day, the He family sent someone to Jingzhao Yin Yamen with a list of slave status to cancel the slave status of Ma's husband and sons.

Ouyang also picked a small courtyard close to the private school from his dowry, summoned her to him before Ma left, and gave her the deed and a white hosta.

Ma couldn't help it after looking at the white hosta, and he knelt down and kowtowed to Ouyang three times in tears.

"Hurry up." For as long as Ouyang can remember, Ma has always been by her side as a milk sister. Ouyang's biological mother is frail and bedridden all the year round, and has no time to take care of Ouyang, and Ma's mother has been carefully accompanied for many years, more like her other mother.

The white hosta was still what Ma wanted when he was young, and Ouyang wanted to give it to her at that time, but Ma's mother didn't allow her to ask for it. Now that the Ma family has been freed from slavery, Ouyang personally found this hairpin that she had not brought for a long time and gave it to Ma.

"Third Miss." Ma Shi put his head on the ground, and the tears were pouring down to call Ouyang's name when he was in his mother's house. "Lian Cui is leaving, thank you for the great kindness of the third lady."

After Ma left, he would ask her husband's old acquaintance in the eldest princess's mansion to bring some New Year's gifts to Ouyang every New Year's Day.

However, Ma Shi read his identity and rarely came to the door in person.

This time, it was also by asking about the reason for the matter, and the Ouyang family also wanted to meet the Ma family to see how she was doing now.

After Ma and her husband left the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou, the two opened a cloth shop with their savings for many years.

Ouyang saw that Ma's complexion and demeanor were very comfortable, and he was also relieved a lot.

Ouyang pulled Ma to sit down, and told Ma in detail the origin of what he wanted to inquire about this time.

Ma has served by Ouyang's side for many years, and Ouyang's two sons have also grown up with her.

"Okay, I'll write it down." Ma Shi agreed. "If I can contribute to the marriage of the fourth young master, I am naturally willing to do so. It's also a coincidence that my shopkeeper and I opened a new store in that county a while ago. I have some connections over there, so I'll be sure to inquire about them. ”

"Okay, I can only rest assured that I can entrust this matter to you." Seeing that the Ma clan should deal with this matter, the Ouyang clan let out a long breath. "You know, now my heart disease is just such a thing as Changjun's marriage."

"The fourth young master is the second lady's heart, and you should think about him."

Only two days after Ma left, he came to see him again.

When Ouyang heard what was said, he thought that Ma should have heard something, and hurriedly sent someone to bring Ma in.

"Quick, quick, come and sit down." When Ouyang saw Ma coming in, he hurriedly beckoned her to sit beside him. "Did you hear something? Tell me about it. ”

Ma Shi looked at the anxious expression on Ouyang's face, and couldn't help laughing.

But soon she told Ouyang in detail what she had heard in the past two days. The girl in Liu Changjun's picture is called Deng Yingniang, and her father is still a side branch of the Deng family in Ding'an Houfu. In the early years, he won a good ranking in the imperial examination, but because of his upright temper, he offended Shangfeng, so he was relegated to Lingshan County, a suburb of the imperial capital, and became a county leader. He thus met Deng Yingniang's mother, an ordinary peasant girl. At that time, where would the Marquis of Ding'an let a rare son of his family marry a helpless peasant girl, so he used his future career to coerce him to give up the peasant girl. Unexpectedly, he bluntly said that he would rather stay in Lingshan County and spend his life as a small county prince than give up that peasant girl.

As a result, Deng Yingniang's parents successfully became parents, and Deng Yingniang's father is really still a county until now.

"That girl is a good girl, the county Cheng's Yulu is pitiful, she is a good embroiderer, and she often embroiders some handkerchiefs and fans, and she sells them to supplement the family. As the eldest daughter, she takes care of her younger brother and sister, and assists her mother in household chores. Ma said. It just so happened that she also had a handkerchief on hand and wanted to sell it on consignment. It just so happened that an acquaintance in my county also had some dealings with her family, so I asked the acquaintance to bring her to my store. At first sight, he is really a very peugeot child. With such a look and demeanor, it's a pity that the clothes on her body are a little worse, otherwise she would say that she is a high-ranking lady in the imperial capital, and no one will say that she doesn't believe it. ”

Ma Shi said, and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Ouyang.

Ouyang took the handkerchief to take a closer look, although the cloth used in the handkerchief was really ordinary, but the embroidery work on it was really exquisite.

"Really?" Ouyang patted his chest with satisfaction and said. "That's great."

"But seriously, this girl's conditions are not bad, but her family background is really very different from that of the fourth young master." Ma Shi looked left and right, lowered his voice and asked Ouyang in a low voice. "Can the eldest princess and the second master of Yongshou promise the fourth young master?"

"My mother-in-law said that our family doesn't have to rely on the marriage of our children. If it really comes to family background, my sister-in-law's background is much better than mine, and without my mother-in-law's approval, where can I marry into the eldest princess's mansion. "Ouyang's heart is happy and he smiles very happily." There shouldn't be any major problems there, sir. ”

"Then this girl, do I have to continue to inquire about anything?" Ma naturally hopes that Liu Changjun, who is big, can marry the girl he likes.

"You continue to pick up her embroidery, keep in touch with her, and don't reveal your intentions for the time being." Ouyang instructed her. "When I tell my mother-in-law about this, then you can find a way to bring her so that we can all meet the real person. Changjun's age is not young, let him start a family soon, and I will be satisfied. ”

"No, the fourth young master was born handsome, and this girl was also born lovely, and she will definitely be able to give birth to the most beautiful grandson for the second lady in the future." Ma said with a smile.

"Haha, yes." Speaking of his youngest son, Ouyang is also quite complacent.

There are many beauties in the Liu family, especially their youngest son, who specially picked the strengths of herself and her husband, and gave birth to an excellent appearance, otherwise the eldest princess in the palace would not have taken a fancy to him at a glance.

Ouyang thought more and more farther, thinking that Liu Changjun successfully married Deng Yingniang as his wife, and the idea of the eldest princess was gone. Thinking about Liu Changjun marrying a wife and having children, he was able to hold Yuxue's lovely grandson again in a blink of an eye.

Sure enough, as Ouyang expected, the eldest princess of Yongshou listened to her words, and signaled her to invite the girl named Deng Yingniang to the eldest princess's mansion after a while.

"Mother." Early this morning, Ouyang was still grooming in the mirror, and Liu Changjun was waiting at the door of her room early in the morning.

"Why are you here?" Ouyang looked at Liu Changjun's face full of desire to speak and stopped, and smiled. "What are you doing looking for me early in the morning?"

The Ouyang family also came from the age when she knew Shao Ai, and she didn't know what Liu Changjun's young man was thinking now. It's just that this little son is used to it, and she rarely sees him with such an expression, so she can't help but want to tease her son.
