On October 12, the Duchess of Rongguo came to visit.

The two families are in-laws, and they often move around on weekdays, but now the Duchess Rongguo is here, but it is for an important matter.

She went straight to Yiranju, Lin Yu'an happened to bring the clothes made for Mrs. Wang, and heard that the Duchess of Rongguo was coming, but Mrs. Wang did not let her go back first.

After the Duchess Rongguo greeted Mrs. Wang, she sat down to talk, and Lin Yu'an stepped forward to greet the Duchess Rongguo.

Hearing that this is the sister from the fifth aunt and grandmother of the Wang family, Duchess Rongguo's expression was a little more probing, she looked at Lin Yu'an carefully, nodded with satisfaction, took Lin Yu'an's hand and said affectionately: "Sister An'er is really beautiful, I don't know what books I've read?"

Lin Yu'an was a little uncomfortable with the unusual closeness of Duchess Rongguo, and she asked Mrs. Wang for help with a slight glint in her eyes, and Mrs. Wang nodded to comfort her.

Only then did she look at the Duchess of Rongguo and replied gently: "Yu'an is not talented, I have only read some poems, three-character scriptures and hundred family names, and some miscellaneous books."

Duchess Rongguo originally thought that Lin Yu'an hadn't read any books, but when she heard this answer, the smile on her face deepened, and she pulled out a tassel hairpin with red gold and red silk and phoenix beads from her head: "Hey, I'm in a hurry to go out, and I didn't have time to prepare a gift, Sister An, don't dislike this meeting gift!"

This hairpin is exquisitely made, the lines are fine, and it is still brilliant and dazzling in the palm of the hand, it can be seen that it is not a vulgar thing, Lin Yu'an has only seen a similar hairpin on Wei's head, I heard that it was made by the old goldsmith in the capital by the third uncle, and a hairpin cost eight hundred taels of silver, and it is rarely worn on weekdays.

Eight hundred taels of silver, all the properties of the Lin family add up to five hundred taels, and the dowry of the little lady at the beginning was only three thousand taels, and in front of the Duchess Rongguo, it was only worth three hairpins.

Although Lin Yu'an felt precious, he didn't refuse, but took it generously: "Thank you, aunt!"

Yes, Duchess Rongguo nodded again, not surprised, this is the demeanor of everyone's daughter.

Although Lin Yu'an is not the daughter of the Wang family, but now she occupies the title of the Wang family's cousin, and it is still related to the dignity of the Wang family.

Mrs. Wang was also very satisfied with Lin Yu'an's reaction, and she smiled and joked with satisfaction: "You have gained a lot today!"

This time, Duchess Rongguo was not as bitter and mean as when she came to seek justice for the Yu family last time, she looked at Lin Yu'an with a smile, and Mrs. Wang said, "Sister An, go see your eldest sister."

Lin Yu'an was a kind of blue heart, and when she heard it, she knew that Mrs. Wang deliberately broke her away and wanted to talk to Duchess Rongguo.

She smiled and nodded, and stepped back politely.

Duchess Rongguo saw that Lin Yu'an was gone, and the smile on her face faded a little, and Mrs. Wang was a cheerful person, so she took a sip of the teacup and breathed a sigh of relief: "If you have anything, just say it."

Duchess Rongguo has always admired Mrs. Wang very much, and it is not surprising that she sees through it.

She nodded, and said with a serious expression: "Don't hide it from the old lady, I came here today to ask for my family's Jiage'er."

The corners of Mrs. Wang's eyes jumped, thinking of the warm appearance of Duchess Rongguo to Lin Yu'an just now, she had a little guess in her heart.

"Don't hide it, my brother Jia is going to be eighteen this year, I think Sister An is good, so I think ......"

Old Madam Wang's somewhat cloudy eyes flashed with a strange light, and she interrupted Duchess Rongguo's words: "Sister An'er is still young, she doesn't have a biological mother by her side, I want to keep her for a few more years."

Duchess Rongguo didn't expect Mrs. Wang to refuse so simply, but thinking of what her son said to her, she was a little unwilling: "Old lady, our two families can sum up this matter again, Sister An has not yet reached the end of time, I naturally won't want her to marry so soon, I'm just afraid that your old man will let Sister An go, so I'm so anxious!"

Duchess Rongguo's face turned red and laughed self-deprecatingly, and Mrs. Wang's face was slightly gloomy, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Duchess Rongguo sat for a while, then got up and said that she wanted to see Yu's and went to Jinhua Courtyard.

As soon as Duchess Rongguo left, Mrs. Wang's face sank again, and Mother Su came up with a bowl of red date bird's nest soup, put it on the table, and turned around to pinch her shoulders.

"Don't get angry, old lady, in fact, the prince of Rongguo is also dignified, and he reads poetry and books, if his leg is not broken, he will become a big weapon."

Mrs. Wang closed her eyes and said leisurely: "But no matter what, let Sister An marry a half-disabled person, I feel pain when I think about it!" Why are you so old that Jia Ge'er is not married? Who is a serious girl who wants to marry such a person, the family is poor, and the Duchess of Rongguo can't look down on it, so it's dragging! ”

Su's mother hurriedly responded, "My cousin will definitely be able to marry a good husband in the future, and with the old lady in charge, it will definitely not be bad." ”

Lin Yu'an went to see Wang Xuanrou, Wang Xuanrou was still asleep, Yingchun said that the prescription that Yu asked people to prescribe to Wang Xuanrou was very calming, and what Wang Xuanrou did the most on weekdays was to sleep.

Lin Yu'an didn't stay long before going back, but he saw Hongying's face secretive, asking Qiu Nu to look at some people, and pulling him upstairs.

She was startled by Hongying's look, she didn't know what was going on, Hongyingshen mysteriously went to close the window, and then said, "Girl, it's not good!"

Lin Yu'an's heart sank suddenly, and Hongying continued: "I heard that the Duchess of Rongguo is here to propose marriage to the prince of Rongguo!"

It turned out to be this, although Lin Yu'an was a little surprised, but she was not surprised, after Yu Jia said those words that day, she guessed that there was such a possibility.

It's just that Hongying's news is too well-informed, she stared at Hongying with burning eyes, Hongying's malted face suddenly turned red, and she smiled: "What is the girl looking at me like this......"

Lin Yu'an sneered: "Tell me about you, what a clever ghost!" If you promise someone in the future, I'm afraid that people will be crushed to death by you. ”

Hongying stomped her feet and ran out with a red face, Lin Yu'an let out a long sigh, asked Qiu Nu to come in and grind the ink, and wrote the half of the unfinished notebook.

Wang Xuanrui has been locked up, and on the day of her death, she only called her mother-in-law to comb her hair briefly, and only said that she was sick.

On October 16, another incident happened to the Wang family.

At noon, Wang Yuansong, Yu Hao, Hu Tingyuan, Hu Tinghuai and his entourage made an appointment to go to the famous Jixian Building in the capital for dinner.

Yu Hao went to the toilet, came back and bumped into a boy in a blue brocade suit, the man was drunk and scolded, there were three or five people on the opposite side, and when he heard the movement, he came around, Hu Tinghuai saw this, so he ran over to help talk, who knew that one of them was Wang Han, the second son of the British Mansion.
