Chapter 354: Rejection
() The second reason why Mrs. Zeng came to pay homage to her birthday was naturally to look at her future daughter-in-law.
When she was in the Qian family, she regretted that she didn't look twice, and she forgot what this girl who was favored by her own son looked like.
Only then did I take a closer look.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, his round little face is simple and cute, and he looks ignorant of the world, but he is a little more innocent and kind than the girl next to him.
When he mentioned that Jiang Ran was canonized as the county lord just now, several young women next to him were either envious, jealous or sour.
And this Ran Yun'er smiled sincerely, and she was sincerely happy for Jiang Ran.
This kind of innocence and kindness is also rare, no wonder his son took a fancy to it at a glance.
She couldn't help but nod secretly.
The Zeng family is the family of Jiangmen, and they can't look down on those women who are twisting, pretentious, and ghostly, but this Ran Yun'er is quite in line with her.
It's just that this future in-law is a little snobbish, but it doesn't matter, she is still afraid of a businesswoman.
Mrs. Zeng nodded secretly.
The feast is over.
Mrs. Zeng got up and took her leave.
Ma Shi was very attentive and hurriedly stood up, "How long are Mrs. Zeng going back to Guangling this time?" Be sure to come and sit when you have time. ”
Mrs. Ran also said, "It is really an honor for our Ran family to be here today. ”
Mrs. Zeng said with a smile, "This time I am returning to my hometown to worship my ancestors, and I will stay here, and there will be opportunities to come to the door in the future." ”
Facing Jiang Ran, he said, "My mother-in-law has been ill for a long time, if the county lord is free, can you go to the house and sit down, and by the way, treat my mother-in-law?" ”
Murong Yu had already mentioned this matter once, and Jiang Ran naturally agreed, "I don't know if it's okay tomorrow?" ”
Mrs. Zeng nodded again and again, "Then it's decided." ”
He said to Ran Yun'er very kindly, "Miss Ran and the Jianghuai County Lord have always been good, if you don't dislike it, you will go to the house together tomorrow?" ”
Ma Shi didn't wait for Ran Yun'er to answer, and had already hurriedly replied, "Her youngest daughter's house is idle, and she will definitely visit the house." ”
Mrs. Zeng left.
Jiang Ran got up and sent him off, "Thank you, Madame, today." ”
Mrs. Zeng said with a smile, "I am entrusted by others and loyal to others." Our Ah Yuqian told me to come over and give you a good face, do I dare not listen? ”
Jiang Ran laughed, "Madame's praise today is empty-hearted. ”
Mrs. Zeng smiled heartily, "I also know that you girl, you don't care about the name outside the body, but these are what you deserve, some time ago, I didn't talk to you in Guangling, tomorrow will be over, let's have a good chat." ”
Jiang Ran responded with a smile.
Mrs. Zeng said, "Go back quickly, you don't need to send it." ”
Jiang Ran watched Mrs. Zeng leave, and then turned back.
Mrs. Qiu's mother and daughter were a little ashamed, and after the banquet, they left first.
However, with such a fuss today, the marriage between the Qiu family and the Ran family is a bit mysterious.
At this time, the guests gradually dispersed.
In the evening, a family feast was held.
Ma Shi looked at Jiang Ran, a little more attentive than before, "Ran Ran, try this osmanthus nectar lotus, I remember that you liked to eat it when you were a child." ”
Jiang Ran thanked him quietly.
Ma Shi smiled and said, "You girl too, you don't say a word about the matter of Guangling, if it weren't for Mrs. Zeng to say it, we would all be in the dark!" ”
Feng Xixi didn't like these bustles, so he stayed in the room all the time and didn't participate, and only heard about it at night, and muttered at this time, "Sister, you didn't even tell me about such a big thing." ”
Jiang Ran comforted Feng Xixi and said, "Back to my aunt, it's not that Ran Ran deliberately hides it, I just think that the position of a county lord is nothing to mention." ”
Old Madam Ran took over and said, "You girl is really, the position of the county lord is not something you can get if you think about it." Didn't your sister Dong'er say that only the daughter of the royal family and nobles can be the lord of the county. ”
Ran Dong'er laughed twice on the side, and this smile was very reluctant.
Old Mrs. Ran remembered something in her heart, so she asked, "The emperor didn't give you a marriage!" ”
Everyone thought about Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran knew the meaning of his grandmother's words, and he wanted to take the opportunity to mention the marriage.
My grandmother has always had this idea of being close to each other, and it is not because of the position of the county lord.
Jiang Ran glanced at it, the Ma clan had always been very opposed, but he didn't make a sound at this time, and he was quite acquiescing.
However, whether in the past or now, this marriage can only be strangled in the cradle.
Jiang Ran said, "The emperor mentioned it once, but I refused, and I didn't hide it from my grandmother, Ran Ran is indeed the patriarch of the Jiang family now, and he can only recruit a son-in-law in the future, so the emperor heard about it and gave up." ”
Bai Zhi said with a smile on the side, "The old lady doesn't know, the emperor is merciful, and said at the time that the girl is of marriageable age, and the girl is allowed to set up a platform to recruit a son-in-law." ”
This sentence dispelled all the old lady's thoughts.
At this time, everyone knew that what Jiang Ran said was not a lie.
Even Ma Shi sighed, and her mother-in-law mentioned the matter again, she stopped talking, and had some acquiescence, but she didn't expect it to be so.
Ma smiled a little reluctantly.
Jiang Ran didn't care what other people thought.
Mrs. Ran didn't say anything more, but she was still very sorry in her heart.
Ran Jue had expected this for a long time.
The last time he went to Ran's house, he could see that this niece was ambitious, and now when he sees it, it is indeed so.
However, in just four months, Ran Ran's achievements have made him impossible to ignore.
Ran Jue was very pleased, "Ran Ran really has ambitions, and my uncle didn't see the wrong person." In this way, find a son-in-law who can support your mother. ”
Jiang Ran said with a smile, "That's what my uncle said, I think so too, I have become independent, and I can take good care of my mother in the future." ”
Ran Yan didn't say a word from beginning to end, what else could he say, since the Jiang family returned to Guangling, every time his father went to Guangling, he would follow, he and her were the same age, childhood sweethearts, and the affection of the two little guesses gradually changed.
Only one step away, every time, only this step is missing, but this step, he can't take it anyway.
He is the only son in the family, there is no elder brother, and the younger brother in the afternoon, no matter what, the family will not allow him to go to the door.
So he could only watch her within his reach, but he could never get there.
Ran Yan's heart was low and gloomy.
Jiang Ran glanced at it, not daring to look at it.
Later in the evening, Ran Yun'er pestered Jiang Ran and carefully inquired about the bits and pieces of Guangling.
Originally, every time Ran Donger went back to her parents' house, she lived in Yuhuaxuan.
Ran Yun'er saw that her sister was quite displeased, so she took the initiative to vacate the yard for her sister to live in.
He and Jiang Ran crowded together.
On the second day, the Zeng family really sent a carriage and horse to pick it up.
The Zeng family was feared by the emperor, and this matter was known to the court, so the Zeng family's position in the court was very delicate.
However, the merchant's family didn't understand this, and Ma also had some meaning of making friends, so he gave a gift in return.
