The Ge family couldn't wait for Ge Yu'er's reply for a long time, and the third grandfather Ge asked Ge Ertang to go to the capital immediately, but what he brought back was the news that King Ping was demoted from the prince to the county king, and the third grandfather couldn't stand the stimulation for a while and fainted.

When he woke up, he heard Uncle Ge Ertang and Uncle Ge Santang say: "Yu'er's girl doesn't seem to be successful, why don't we send another girl to the palace?" ”

"What did you say?" Third Master Ge hurriedly asked.

Hearing their father's voice, the two brothers of the Ge family hurriedly turned around to help him. Third Master Ge also asked repeatedly: "What's wrong with Yu'er in the palace?" ”

Uncle Ge Ertang had no choice but to tell the truth: "Dad asked me to go to the capital to inquire about the news, but I didn't even set foot in the palace, listening to the tone of the concierge, Yu'er seems to have fallen out of favor, and now the princess is in charge of the house." Moreover, the original prince angered the emperor, and now the prince of the palace is the princess's own son, how could the princess let Yu'er go, this time she took the opportunity to instigate the prince to lock up Yu'er. ”

Third Master Ge was about to faint when he heard this, but fortunately, Uncle Ge Santang was quick to pinch him, and Third Master Ge slowly woke up after being in pain.

"Third, I remember that Mei'er is fourteen this year, right?" He looked at Uncle Ge Santang with cloudy eyes.

Uncle Ge Santang sighed in his heart, should his father really listen to the second brother's words and send his daughter to the Jiangdong Palace, right?

He was thinking about how to refuse to send a daughter as a concubine, but Uncle Ge Ertang preemptively said: "Dad, not only Mei'er of the third brother's family, but also Yun'er of my family is almost over, Yun'er and Yu'er have looked similar since childhood, but Mei'er of the third brother's family has the same square face as the third brother and sister, if you really want to send another one to the palace, then you should also send a good-looking one, which can capture the heart of the prince." ”

If he heard the second brother taunting his Mei'er in normal times, Uncle Ge Santang would definitely turn his face, but at this time, Uncle Ge Santang would like him to say a few more words, so that Ge Santang could put his mind on Ge Yun'er.

Sure enough, the third grandfather couldn't help but think about it after listening to the words of his second son, Ge Yun'er does look similar to Ge Yu'er, and her personality and temper are also like seventy percent, but there is one thing that Ge Yun'er is not as good as Ge Yu'er, that is, Ge Yun'er is not as slender as Ge Yu'er.

When the king of Jiangdong came to Yucheng to play, he met Ge Yuer, who was in Lingjiang Huanyi, and took her to the palace of King Ping in the capital at a glance, not only with her young and gorgeous appearance, but also with her slender waist.

"The second and third, I decided to send Yun'er and Mei'er to the palace together, and you go back and talk to your respective daughters-in-law." It took a long time for Third Master Ge to make a decision.

Hearing this, Uncle Ge Ertang was naturally overjoyed, but Uncle Ge Santang was a little incredulous, "Dad, why do you want to send Mei'er?" ”

Third Master Ge stared at his third son for a few moments, "I have my own reasons for doing this, you just have to obey." ”

Uncle Ge Santang refused, when Ge Fangniang was gone, the Ge family wanted to pick another girl to marry Jiang Yucheng, his father would rather choose the second brother's straw bag Yun'er than marry the smart and clever Mei'er to the Jiang family, not because Mei'er was not as good-looking as Yun'er, and he was afraid that she would not be able to trap Jiang Yucheng. Now that you want to send someone to the palace as a concubine, why do you have to bring Mei'er with you?

"Third child, you really refuse to send Mei'er to the palace?" Third Master Ge asked.

Uncle Ge Santang said with a sad face: "Dad, I only have one daughter under my knees, Mei'er, and her mother and I plan to find her an ordinary family, and ask my father to be considerate and considerate of his son." ”

Third Master Ge didn't speak, but Second Uncle Ge couldn't help but sneer, "Third brother, the eldest brother is not only Yu'er's daughter, he is willing to send Yu'er to the palace for the sake of the Ge family, why can't he come to you?" ”

"Second brother, you..."Uncle Ge Santang's face changed, and he said angrily: "If it weren't for Yu'er's determination to go with the prince, the eldest brother would still be alive and well." ”

"That's enough." Third Master Ge scolded loudly: "I have made up my mind, you all go back to prepare, and I will personally send them to the capital in three days." ”

The Ge family did not hide that when the Ge family hired a carriage to drive to the capital, most of the people in Lingjiang Town knew the news.

Haitang mocked: "The Ge family is really shameless, a good girl is sent to be a concubine, and she is not afraid of losing the face of her ancestors." ”

Yan Niang said: "Other people's family affairs, what are you doing so angry, you are also seventeen this year, why don't you pay attention to your lifelong events?" ”

"My sister Yan Niang, I don't want to get married yet, don't you say this in front of me?"

"Since you call me sister, I naturally can't ignore your marriage, and your godmother, she is more anxious than me, I'm afraid you really can't get married."

"Good sister, please don't mention this, okay."

"It's okay if I don't mention it, as long as you don't avoid getting married."

“……”

The two sisters were talking, when Wu Niangzi came to the door, and she happily said to Yan Niang: "Yan Niang, great joy." ”

Yan Niang was a little confused, and wondered: "What does Sister Wu mean by this?" ”

Wu Niangzi didn't answer, but looked at Haitang with a smile several times before saying: "Yan Niang, do you remember Su Yuanwai, his wife just asked me about Haitang, it seems that she has taken a fancy to Haitang and wants to ask her to be her daughter-in-law." ”

Hearing this, Yan Niang's eyes lit up, "Is what my sister said true?" ”

Wu Niangzi shook her handkerchief, "Seriously, Mrs. Su only has a young son who has not started a family, not to tell him who else can he have." ”

Yan Niang said: "It's true that Mrs. Su has only one son who has not started a family, but there are several sons who have not started a family." ”

When Wu Niangzi heard this, her enthusiasm suddenly halved, "That's right, Su Yuanwai has many sons, Mrs. Su can't keep it for which concubine to inquire about Begonia, and blame me, I will report to you before the matter is clear." ”

Yan Niang shook her head, "Sister Wu is also kind." ”

Seeing that Wu Niangzi was annoyed, she said again: "I have discussed with Aunt Yun, Haitang's marriage still needs her own nod, according to Haitang's temperament, she is afraid that she will not nod in the Su family." ”

Wu Niangzi asked, "Why is that?" ”

"The Su family has a big business, and it is not suitable for small people like us." Begonia's voice interjected.

Su Yuanwai is a famous gentleman in Lingjiang Town, in addition to Mrs. Su in the main house, he also married Mrs. Qifang, and eight women gave birth to ten sons and three daughters in total. Where there are people, there is intrigue, there are many women in the Su family, and no one in the back house obeys anyone, and they are like black-eyed chickens, which makes the entire Su family miserable.

In recent years, it is not a secret that the concubines of Su Yuanwai have been discordant, and the people of Lingjiang Town often take the affairs of the Su family as a pastime after tea and dinner, and Su Yuanwai is helpless to know about it.

Mrs. Su was in charge of the inner house, holding the marriage of the concubines and concubines in her hands, and those aunts and wives did not dare to oppose her because of their children, but they had to compete to please her. Mrs. Su never grinds the concubine room, treats the concubines and concubines harshly, and has a good reputation in Lingjiang Town, so when she asked Wu Niangzi about Begonia, Wu Niangzi felt that this was a happy event.

Haitang felt that this Mrs. Su was not a fuel-efficient lamp, she had been holding the Su family's inner house for so many years, not only was her position as stable as a mountain, but her concubines and aunts did not dare to argue with her, and finally got a good reputation, is such a woman really simple?

The answer is definitely not simple.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wu came over and said about Mrs. Su, and on the second day, Mrs. Su really invited a matchmaker to come to the door to propose.

"Nie Niangzi, your sister is really blessed, the Su family is the most amazing family in our Lingjiang Town, Mrs. Su has taken a fancy to her as a daughter-in-law, but it is a good thing that others can't ask for."

The person who said this was Mrs. Hu from Lingjiang Town, who liked to pull fiber for the media of large families, and Mrs. Su asked her to be a matchmaker, she hoped to succeed at one time, so as to earn Mrs. Su's generous thank you matchmaker.

Yan Niang smiled and said: "Thanks to Mrs. Su, I can afford it, but my sister has already promised others, one woman is not allowed to be two men, I am afraid that you will run away in vain this time." ”

When Mrs. Hu heard this, she hurriedly asked: "When is this, didn't the black lady of the Splendid Pavilion say that there is no one yet?" ”

"This is a family affair set by my sister's parents when they were alive, and Wu Niangzi didn't know about it." This excuse is Yan Niang's resignation after discussing with Haitang, what I am afraid of is that Mrs. Su really asked someone to be a matchmaker, but I didn't expect it to really come in handy. As for the unwarranted fiancé, he can only wait for this matter to pass before he can figure it out.

Mrs. Su said that it was a pity, and asked Mrs. Hu to go home, and before she left, she gave five taels of silver, which was regarded as the hard work of running errands.

As soon as Mrs. Hu left, her confidant Mama Su said: "Madam, according to the old slave, Nie Niangzi is afraid that she didn't look at the identity of the fourth young master's concubine, so she used the early marriage contract as an excuse." ”

Mrs. Su sighed, "I don't know this truth, if it weren't for Xinyanfang, how could I ask a matchmaker to say goodbye to that evil seed." ”

Mrs. Su invited Mrs. Hu to go to Nie's house to talk about matchmaking, not because she was really planning for her concubine as outsiders thought, but because she fell in love with Xinyanfang's business.

Since the ointment of Xinyanfang became popular in the town, Mrs. Su also sent someone to buy it a few times, and the effect was indeed very good after using it. In this way, Mrs. Su is a little hot-eyed, and she always wants to take Xinyanfang for herself.

But she can't force it, otherwise her good reputation that has been in business for decades will be ruined.

"Madam, don't forget, Mrs. Liu of Xinyanfang also has a share, if you want to get Xinyanfang, it's not useful to marry a little girl." Mama Su analyzed: "Actually, you don't have to marry people back, you just need to get the recipe for those ointments." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Su felt that her words were reasonable, according to the Su family's financial resources, as long as there was an ointment prescription, a small Xinyanfang was nothing. She asked Mama Su to come over and explain a few words to her, Mama Su nodded in response, and then left the main courtyard with a serious face.

After Mama Su left, a person came out of the window from behind the flowers, he flicked the dirt on his body, and then the cat tiptoed away.
