Although the Cui family has never made a noise, the news of the secret fight between the Zongzi and Cui Zheng families has still spread all over the major families, Cui Zheng has always been the head of the family, but he didn't expect it to come to such a point, not to mention that the Cui family actually changed the Zongzi at this time, which really makes people feel that they can't understand what happened to the Cui family.

But the Cui family is the head of the century-old family after all, even if this is the case, they also have a wait-and-see attitude, no matter who has the upper hand in the Zheng family or the Cui family, they can not offend both.

Therefore, the posts sent by the Cui family, each family still replied as before, and the ones who should be inherited are all housewives and clan wives, and the congratulatory gifts sent are also very rich.

Only the Zheng family has never heard from them, and they have never refused or heard back.

Zheng Yuan didn't seem to be in a hurry, she just went to Mrs. Cui every day to ask for a goodbye, so she went out every day, and she didn't ask much about the birthday banquet.

“…… The third young lady asked someone to prepare a carriage and went to the Zheng Mansion in Ximaoer Hutong. Xiao Kui helped Gu Mingzhu sort out the roster of servants and stewards in various places in the mansion, and said: "I heard Yinglan from Yuzhu Courtyard say that the three young ladies have all gone to Zheng Mansion these days, and they went early every morning and didn't come back until dark. ”

Xiaokui has been walking around Cui's mansion these days, making generous and careful moves, and has also had contacts with many people, and has heard a lot of news back.

What is Zheng Yuan going to do?

Gu Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, and her hand looking through the roster also paused: "What about the old lady's Cuihua Courtyard?" ”

Qin Niang and Zheng Yuan are only afraid that there is something, Zheng Yuan is not happy now, Qin Niang doesn't know how.

Xiaokui shook her head: "There's nothing over there, Qin Niangzi has been with the old lady for the past few days." ”

Gu Mingzhu thought for a while before nodding: "You pay more attention to the news on both sides." ”

In the hugging building of Cuihua Courtyard, Qin Niang is holding small silver scissors to prune the ink chrysanthemum placed on the table, cutting off the excess branches and leaves and useless flower buds, leaving the main trunk and the best blooming ones.

Mrs. Cui on the side sat next to a few pots of pruned chrysanthemums, with a smile on her face, looking at Qin Niang's focused and quiet expression with her head down, she nodded slightly.

Cheng's mother walked in quickly, with a smile on her face: "Old lady, the Wen family in Taiyuan has sent a letter and replied to the post." ”

Mrs. Cui's eyes lit up, she hurriedly took the letter, read it carefully, and laughed: "The old lady of the Wen family asked her to bring it, this time Mrs. Wen brought Wen Erlang in person, one is to celebrate her birthday, and the other is to finalize the marriage with Ahuan." ”

Cheng's mother browled her eyebrows, and said continuously: "This is a happy event, so it is a joy on top of joy." ”

Old Madam Cui was more than happy, she put the letter aside and exhaled softly: "The Wen family has made their attitude clear when they mention family affairs at this time, which is also a great help to us." ”

The Wen family has strong power in Hedong Province and Guannei Province, and if the Cui family has the help of the Wen family, they don't have to worry too much about the blockade of the Zheng family and the court.

It's just that this is not a long-term solution after all, and the Cui family can't pin their hopes on other families, but still have to find a way to eradicate hidden dangers.

Old Madam Cui was silent, and her eyes became sharp.

The qin lady on the side also put down the scissors at this time, took the handkerchief given by the maidservant, wiped her hands clean, and smiled: "Congratulations to the old lady and double happiness." ”

Old Madam Cui looked at her when she heard this, looked at her delicate and gentle face with a smile, and nodded with a smile: "It is indeed a happy event." ”

said but turned his head again: "Speaking of which, you are the same age as Ah Huan, and the difference is only a month." ”

Qin Niang was stunned, and a flush flew on her face: "Yes." ”

Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Mrs. Cui knew that she understood what she meant, and pulled her to sit down on her couch with a smile: "This child, it is natural for a man to marry and a woman to marry." ”

"Your grandmother has passed a long time ago, and there are no close elders in the clan, so I brought you to the Cui family with all my might, and now that you are so old, you should also stand up for you." Old Madam Cui sighed and laughed again, "Ayuan's marriage has been decided, how can I delay you." ”

Qin Niang's face was flushed, and she said angrily: "Old lady......"

Old Mrs. Cui turned her head and laughed with Cheng's mother: "Look, this is shy." ”

Cheng's mother also shook her head with a smile on the side.

"That's it, go down, if I keep you here any longer, I'm afraid you'll have nowhere to go." Only then did Mrs. Cui say to Qin Niang, "I'll arrange Zhang Luo for you, and I'll tell you a good family affair." ”

As she spoke, she instructed Cheng's mother: "Go and invite Dalang's daughter-in-law, and I'll discuss it with her." ”

Talking about marriage was arranged by the elders, Qin Niang could only get up and retreat, but when she stepped out of the door, she still glanced at the room uneasily, and when she passed by the little maid waiting outside the door, she glanced at it and walked over.

The two little maids who had been waiting outside stood silently near the door, still waiting with their heads down, and couldn't see anything wrong.

Mrs. Cui came for half an hour before leaving, and she had just walked not far away, but one of the little maids who had been waiting outside the door quietly retreated and went to the Qin Niang's room.

“…… Lanling Xiao Clan! Qin Niang stopped looking through the medicine book, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and her face was no longer as good-looking as usual.

The little maid looked left and right uneasily, nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, the old lady and the eldest lady have discussed for a long time, and they have mentioned the Hongnong Yang family and the Fanyang Lu family, and finally fell in love with the Lanling Xiao family. ”

The Lanling Xiao family is unknown in the family, even in the second-rate family, it is not a big deal, not to mention the top families such as the Cui family, the Zheng family and the Wen family, the Hongnong Yang family and the Fanyang Lu family mentioned earlier are far better than the Lanling Xiao family, but the old lady Cui and the eldest lady still chose the Lanling Xiao family.

Qin Niang's face was complicated, and she paused and asked, "Which room is it in the Xiao family?" ”

The little maid said softly: "The maid listens to the old lady's instructions to the eldest lady, let people inquire about the Lang Jun in each room of the Xiao family, and the side branches should also inquire clearly." ”

Qin Niang's hand froze there, unable to move for a long time, and after a while, a slightly pale smile appeared on her face, and said to the little maid: "I know, I have worked hard for you, go down first." ”

Ah Qing, who was waiting behind her, went to the little maid and stuffed a small purse in her hand before sending her out.

Qin Niang sat in the room for a long time, her face was full of bitterness, and the medicine book in her hand was also put aside.

After a long time, she called Aqing in and handed over a few prescriptions to her: "These are fragrant recipes for drying and dissolving phlegm, send them to the third young lady, she has been waiting for several days." ”

After doing this, she got up and walked to the window, looking at the bright autumn sun and the pots of chrysanthemums blooming just right, her face gloomy and uncertain.
