Chapter 360: Lord Bajie
"What kind of character is the county lord, how can you not know your little thoughts?" Mrs. Zhang turned around, a little helpless, she said: "Sister, there is indeed no shortage of famous nobles in this Bei'an City, but not all famous nobles are worthy of Xiaoxiao. ”
Her sister wanted Zhou Xiaoxiao to cling to the powerful, so that she could use this to mention the status of the Zhou family, but the more noble and prestigious the family, the more strict they were about their background, how could they easily let Xiaoxiao marry and become the head of the house?
It's okay for her sister to think like this, but this week Xiaoxiao is also of the same heart as her mother, if she is not a high-ranking official or noble, she will not marry, otherwise she will not be delayed until now.
"Auntie, didn't you hear what the county lord said? She said that I was beautiful and would not worry about getting married. Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled, and her beautiful eyes revealed a bit of danger: "Auntie, do you think what the county lord said is wrong?" Or do you think it's too much trouble to take on it? ”
Mrs. Zhang sighed secretly and wanted to say that she didn't mean that, but before she could speak, Mrs. Zhou on the side rushed to say, "Xiaoxiao, your aunt didn't mean that, don't think about it!" Don't let down your aunt's kindness to you. ”
"Mother, I know that my aunt is good to us, but did you hear what my aunt said just now? Doesn't that make it troublesome for us to be a mother and son? Zhou Xiaoxiao pouted and complained to Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou was disgusted: "Xiaoxiao, you think too much, your aunt doesn't mean that at all." ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Zhou looked sideways at Mrs. Zhang and said with a smile: "Sister, what you just said didn't mean that, right?" Actually, you're still thinking about helping us, right? ”
Seeing that the two of them were singing red and white, even though Mrs. Zhang knew in her heart that the other party just wanted to marry a wealthy family, she had no choice, after all, it was her own sister and niece, wouldn't she be able to drive the two out with a cold face?
In desperation, Mrs. Zhang nodded, "Yes, I didn't mean that just now, since I promised you, I will definitely help you to the end." ”
The two mothers and daughters looked at each other and smiled, and before they could thank each other, they only heard the lady Zhang say again: "But I can tell you in advance, I can help you find this person, but if it doesn't work out, then it's not something I can control." ”
"I know, Xiaoxiao will definitely live up to her aunt's efforts, and she will definitely be caught!" Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled happily, changed her previous displeasure, grabbed Mrs. Zhang's arm with a smile, and said affectionately.
Mrs. Zhou also smiled and agreed: "Yes, yes, we are Xiaoxiao beautiful, knowledgeable, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I have cultivated her for so many years, just for this day." Sister, don't worry, as long as Xiaoxiao and I have a crush on someone, we can definitely win it in one fell swoop! ”
Mrs. Zhang quietly pulled out the arm held by Zhou Xiaoxiao, smiled at the mother and daughter, and did not speak.
Mrs. Zhang still knows a little about her sister, she loves to be greedy and cheap, and she wants Zhou Xiaoxiao to cling to the powerful, and she has cultivated the child king since she was a child, but speaking of which, she doesn't have any bad intentions, she is just greedy for wealth and nobility, and she hasn't done anything excessive.
Her husband died early, and a woman grew up with a child, although the family still has some foundations, so that the two will not live on the streets, but the family is always the pillar, and it is understandable that she wants to find a backer.
Besides, Xiaoxiao looks really good this week, if she can really marry a good family, she can not only do what they want, but also have less trouble in the future.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang sighed secretly and thought: I'll help them this time, whether it succeeds or not, then it can only depend on Xiaoxiao's creation.
Seeing that the room was deserted and no one spoke, Mrs. Zhou laughed dryly, and then immediately led the topic to Xiao Man, "Sister, I just heard the county lord say that she seems to have come from the suburbs, isn't she the county lord?" Why do you live in the suburbs? ”
"Mother, you don't even know this?" Zhou Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, and took the initiative to explain: "The county lord is now making a greenhouse in the suburbs, and it is said that he can grow vegetables there!" ”
"Really?" Mrs. Zhou was really taken aback.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang smiled slightly and explained: "She is the wife of the Duke of Donglan Town, and she was named the county lord by the king in Donglan, and she originally came to Canglan for these things. Some time ago, she grew vegetables in her mansion, and the king was quite happy, and she enjoyed the night pearl on the spot. ”
"Yes, the king can favor this county lord, in my opinion, this county lord is much more favored than King Rong back then!" Zhou Xiaoxiao also said excitedly.
Speaking of King Rong, Mrs. Zhou became more and more interested, but she didn't expect that a foreigner could be so favored when he was named the county lord.
Thinking of the county lord I saw just now, the other party is just a weak woman with a slight appearance, even if she has the identity of the county lord, it is also the king who was later sealed, and it is not as noble as the county lord in the Canglan clan.
Unexpectedly, this county lord really has some skills.
I knew that the other party was so powerful, I should have directly interrupted my sister's words just now, and asked the other party to help Xiaoxiao introduce a prince and grandson no matter what, but it's a pity......
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou was so remorseful that she couldn't help complaining: "Sister, I knew that this county lord was so powerful, you just told the county lord about this matter, and asked her to help us find a reliable son." In this way, not only will you save trouble, but Xiaoxiao can also find a good family as soon as possible. ”
Of course, there is a deeper meaning, that is, Mrs. Zhang is only a courtier's wife after all, and the people she can contact are limited, at most she is a person of the same level as Zhang Shangqi, but the county lord is different!
She is the county lord, and she can enter and leave the palace at will, and the people she comes into contact with on weekdays must be a few grades higher than Zhang Shangqi! In addition, she is the wife of the Duke of Donglan Town, maybe she can still let Xiaoxiao marry Donglan!
"Sister." Mrs. Zhang frowned, and persuaded with some displeasure: "The county lord is busy all day long, where can I have time to help Xiaoxiao talk to the matchmaker?" Since I have shirked the outside matter, I promised you to find a good family for Xiaoxiao, then I will definitely be able to do it, and you don't want to trouble the county lord anymore. ”
"I know, sister, I know that if you agree, you will definitely be able to do it, I believe in you." Mrs. Zhou replied with a smile, agreeing happily on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking about other small ideas.
Mrs. Zhang also knew that her sister was not a fuel-efficient lamp, but she knew that she couldn't change the other party's mind, and she didn't bother to care what the other party was thinking. Therefore, Mrs. Zhang just sighed, excused herself from being a little tired, and went back to her room to rest.
As soon as Mrs. Zhang left, the mother and daughter of the Zhou family immediately got together.
In order to avoid someone eavesdropping, Zhou Xiaoxiao deliberately lowered her voice, "Mother, I don't think my aunt wants to help us, why don't we go directly to the county lord, what do you think?" ”
Xu was praised by Xiaoman, and Zhou Xiaoxiao is now full of self-confidence, feeling that even if she marries into the palace and becomes the queen, it is more than enough. In addition, Xiaoman is very friendly to her, which can't help but make Zhou Xiaoxiao even more proud, feeling that no matter what she asks, the other party will definitely help her.
"I'll tell you the truth, my mother thinks so too." Mrs. Zhou covered her lips and snickered a few times, but soon became serious again, and analyzed carefully: "However, after all, we have only met with the county lord once, and we can't figure out each other's thoughts. I thought that if we really wanted the county lord to help, we would have to move around a lot in the future. ”
"What my mother said is reasonable, but the county lord is far away in the suburbs, and we are now living in my aunt's house, so it's inconvenient to go out!" Zhou Xiaoxiao frowned in embarrassment.
In fact, the mother and daughter of the Zhou family are not from Bei'an City, but live in Tianlan City, which is not far from Bei'an City.
When they came to Bei'an City this time, they were determined to get married, otherwise they would not block their back road.
However, they did not have real estate in Bei'an City, and even if they had a lot of silver, they could only live in Mrs. Zhang's house when they first arrived. This also leads to many of their mobility difficulties, and many things still need to rely on Mrs. Zhang.
Just when the two were in a dilemma, Mrs. Zhou had a flash of inspiration: "I seem to have heard just now that the county lord wants to teach your aunt embroidery, isn't it?" ”
Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned for a while, and then vaguely remembered for a while, "It seems that there is such a thing, mother, why are you suddenly asking this?" ”
"I think, why don't we take this opportunity to have a good relationship with the county lord, and if there is anything in the future, we can go directly to the county lord and let her help us, what do you say?" The more she talked, the more excited Mrs. Zhou became, her eyebrows raised, and her eyes glowed.
Zhou Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that this idea was feasible, she nodded again and again, overjoyed; "It's still smart!"
The mother and daughter had already discussed the countermeasures, so the next thing was much easier, they asked around about Xiaoman's preferences, and persuaded Mrs. Zhang to go to the county lord to learn embroidery, and it took several days of hard work to finally prepare everything.
At this time, Xiao Man, who was busy in the greenhouse in the suburbs, did not expect that he had become the target of the Zhou family's mother and daughter.
The vegetables in the greenhouse are almost grown, all the teeth have grown, and everything is in good condition, but because the temperature has begun to cool down in the past few days, maintaining the temperature in the greenhouse has become the most important thing today.
Xiaoman also changed from two inspections a day to four times a day, and stayed in the greenhouse for three or four hours a day, just for fear of accidents.
"Madam, Lord Huali has just sent a message saying that they are ready to leave tomorrow." Pearl walked in from outside the greenhouse and said.
Xiao Man, who was squatting on the ground and fiddling with the stove, answered, then patted the soil on his hands, got up, and said, "Then it's time for us to go back." ”
