Chapter Fifty-Eight: Marriage Proposal (I)

The eldest lady talked to her son for a long time, and she was also a little tired, and said, "Today, you have been busy all day before and after running, so let's rest early!" ”

Luo Zhenxing then remembered the purpose of his visit.

He hurriedly said: "Mother, I have something I want to discuss with you!" ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately said, "If there is anything, you can tell me directly." ”

Luo Zhenxing smiled and said, "What do you think of Qian Ming?" ”

The eldest lady was stunned.

Luo Zhenxing said: "He is twenty-seven years old this year and has not yet married a wife. Then he told me about buying a roast suckling pig," ...... I think he is very flexible in dealing with things, and he is only afraid of things that are not in the pool in the future...... You see...... Do you want me to find someone to hint at him? ”

The eldest lady immediately became interested: "You have to ask clearly." Don't have one at home, and then say outside that you are not married, when the time comes, our Luo family will become a laughing stock! ”

"Don't worry!" Luo Zhenxing smiled, "I'll check it out." ”

The eldest lady felt excited when she thought about it: "This Qian Ming is really good." No one can match that cleverness. If it can really be done, this is a good marriage that comes with no effort. ”

She thought of the fourth aunt in the second room.

The Luo family contributed money and efforts, and it was easy to get a lift......

Luo Zhenxing saw that his mother answered, and got up with a smile: "Then you can rest!" I'll get back to you when I get the letter. ”

The eldest lady nodded, and asked Luo Qiao to send Luo Zhenxing out of the door, and stopped not mentioning it.

Eleven Niang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and when she got up the next day and looked in the mirror, her face was like a freshly peeled egg, without a trace.

That's the advantage of being young!

She sighed in her heart, and then had breakfast and went with Wu Niang and Shi Niang to say hello to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady was the same as before, with a kind smile and a kind tone. After a few words with them, Mother Xu took the daily accounts, and the eldest lady signaled that they could retreat.

I didn't ask why Shi Niang came, nor did I ask what happened at home, as if time had never passed, and it was just a dream to go to Yanjing and see Yuan Niang.

If nothing else, this calmness alone is enough to be admired!

Eleven Niang sighed secretly and went out in a trance.

Wu Niang came over and took her arm, and said kindly: "Eleventh sister, what will you do?" Why don't we play chess? How about I let you have ten sons? ”

"I'll do the needlework later." Eleven Niang smiled and dealt with Wu Niang, "Or, the fifth sister and the tenth sister play chess, right?" I sat on the sidelines and did the needlework. ”

Wu Niang looked at Shi Niang with a smile and affectionately: "Okay! ”

Shi Niang raised her chin and glanced at Wu Niang, then turned around and went back to the house with disdain.

Wu Niang murmured behind her, "Alas, I don't know what happened to Baizhi and Jiuhong?" The fifth lady of the middle school purchased in the outer courtyard fell in love with a hundred branches, and the eldest lady was supposed to let her out this autumn......"

Shi Niang saw Shi Niang's footsteps pause, and then straightened her back and entered the West Wing.

"Eleventh sister, I can live up to your kindness." Wu Niang smiled slightly when she saw it, and said to Eleven Niang, "I can't afford to lose this person with a hot face and a cold face." I went back to the house. With that, he took Ziwei and Ziyuan back to his residence.

"It's not our young lady who asked Miss Ten not to agree." Binju, who came out to greet Eleven Niang, couldn't help muttering when she saw it, and was glared at fiercely by Holly.

Eleven Niang smiled and went back to her residence, then took a needle and thread out, and sat on the big kang by the window to make spring clothes for Brother Xu.

At noon, Amber was sent to inquire about the eldest lady's movements.

Amber came back and said, "...... and the big * grandmother, Xu's mother settled the account for a day. ”

"I'll go again at dusk." Eleven Niang was stunned and said, "Do you see if someone has come to visit my mother?" ”

"Got it." Amber went again at dusk," ...... Mother Tao was ordered by her aunt to greet the eldest lady. ”

Mrs. Jiang did not come...... Eleven Niang was quite surprised, and then relieved.

Even if you are satisfied, you must be reserved!

In the evening, she and Wu Niang and Shi Niang went to greet the eldest lady.

The eldest lady is talking to the eldest * grandmother: "...... No matter how precious the mother's family is, it is in the mother's house. This husband is rich and his wife is expensive, and he can't take a wrong step. Seeing the three of them come in, the eldest lady stopped.

Who is this talking about?

Eleven Niang was puzzled, but she remained silent and greeted the eldest lady.

The eldest lady was in a good mood, and not only chatted with them with a few small talks, but also left them for dinner.

This made Eleven Niang even more uneasy, and when she returned to the house, she sent Amber to inquire: "What did Mother Tao say when she came?" ”

Amber took an embroidery sample and pretended to give it to Sango, and went to the eldest lady. In less than a cup of tea, she folded back.

"Miss, miss." She looked very excited, and pulled Eleven Niang to the warm pavilion to speak, "Coral said, Master Hou is going to take a concubine!" ”

Eleven Niang "poofed" in her heart: "Say it carefully!" ”

She couldn't help but shake Amber's hand.

Amber evened out her breath and said, "Master Hou will carry the sixth lady of the Qiao family into the mansion tomorrow night." The Xu family invited a few tables of wine, and also invited our uncle and big * milk. The eldest lady asked the big * milk to send the pullover noodles as a congratulatory gift. ”

Qiao Lianfang ......

I don't know why, Eleven Niang's mind came to mind that she was sitting there quietly, with a white and soft face like a lotus.

Such a girl is going to be a concubine......

Instead of a festive and lively wedding, it is kneeling down to offer tea to the main room, instead of the phoenix crown and the curtain is a pink gown, and instead of holding the head high, it is humblely bent the knees......

She has all kinds of flavors in her heart.

This is what Yuan Niang wants!

Coveting her position, this is the end.

Eleven Niang faintly felt that she might be that candidate...... Because only in this way can Yuan Niang's plan be considered perfect.

a stepfamily of humble origin, a concubine of noble birth; The noble one was seen by the lowly born one in the most unbearable side of her life, and a seed of unease was planted in her heart.

Will this woman, who is not as good as herself, look down on herself because of this? Will you use this as a lever to demand from yourself?

Who wants to live in this fear!

The only way is to resist.

What's more, she also has a family as a backer.

If you can get that position, the family will be happy to see it!

And what about the one from humble origins?

There is nothing else to rely on except this position.

Whether it's for life or dignity, she has to do everything she can to keep what she has. Whoever dares to challenge must come up with thunderous means to make an example of others, in order to deter those who are watching from the sidelines......

Such two people, put in one cage, will only fight. Not only fighting, but also fighting to the death...... Dou's house is restless, which disappoints Mrs. Tai and makes Master Hou tired...... Make Brother Chen safer and safer!

If there is no enemy, then cultivate an enemy and let them contain each other...... This is the most brilliant strategy!

Thinking about this, Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

It's been too long since there was such a worry...... She was really afraid that the eldest lady would suddenly be unhappy, so she would use her as a punching bag and marry casually.

That's fine!

At least, there is a road in front of us that can be seen clearly; At the very least, you still have the opportunity to be prepared in advance; At least, Xu Lingyi is a person who is not missing arms and legs, and has a normal mind; At least, Xu Lingyi looks cold and majestic and difficult to get along with, but when Yuan Niang designed him, he didn't speak ill of each other and looked hateful; At least, Xu Lingyi is proud and arrogant in his bones - usually such a person, although he will not have kindness, but at least he will not ignore his wife and children at the moment of life and death......

She thought of Madame Jiang's searchlight-like gaze.

It's better than being pulled by the big lady and picking the fat and thin with the scrutinizing gaze of others, and it may not be able to enter the eyes of others, right?

That's enough, right?

No matter how much she wants, she can't ask for it, and no one will give it!

Eleven Niang thought with self-deprecation, she actually slept peacefully at night, and she didn't even turn over.

The next day, I went to greet the eldest lady.

The big lady was red-faced. I can see that I am in a very good mood. He also chatted with them with a smile: "...... At this time, spring bamboo shoots should be on the market! We asked Xu's mother to buy some back, and in the evening we fried sauerkraut with spring bamboo shoots to eat. ”

"Lettuce should be on the market, too!" As usual, Eleven Niang sat on the side with a smile and just listened; Shi Niang's face was expressionless and absent-minded. Only Wu Niang should accept the eldest lady, "I remember that you like to eat lettuce and scrambled eggs the most." Do you want the kitchen to make one for you? ”

The eldest lady nodded: "I really can't get used to the taste of toon." Eleven Niang ate with relish. ”

Hearing that the eldest lady had clicked on herself, Eleven Niang covered her sleeves and laughed.

A little maid came: "Big lady, Mrs. Wang is visiting." ”

"Madame Wang?" The eldest lady was puzzled, "Which lady Wang?" ”

"It is said that it is the wife of the Fujian political envoy Lord Wang...... the little maid's voice lowered several beats.

The eldest lady frowned: "Please let her in!" ”

Wu Niang, Shi Niang, and Eleven Niang took refuge in the bedroom of the eldest lady.

After a while, Mrs. Wang's voice came: "Mrs., I really didn't expect that you and Mrs. Jiang are also acquainted." No, Mrs. Jiang specially entrusted me to ......"

Before she could speak, she was interrupted by the eldest lady: "You are really a rare guest. I was not at home last time, and I thought that you had gone to Fujian with Lord Wang, so I didn't send anyone to say hello. Please also ask Mrs. Wang not to be surprised. ”

Eleven Niang was attracted by Mrs. Wang's words "Mrs. Jiang specially entrusted me to come".

Could it be that Mrs. Jiang entrusted this Mrs. Wang to be Baoshan?

However, it is also possible.

Both families are Yanjing nobles, and it is normal for them to have some intersections.

As she was thinking, she heard the eldest lady say again, "Come, let's go to the east kang and sit down and talk...... I'm a mess here! ”

Apparently avoiding them.

Eleven Niang glanced at Wu Niang and Shi Niang.

The two looked calm, one sitting on the big kang by the window, and the other standing in the corner, caressing the leaves of the holly tree placed there.

People are not afraid of being calculated, but they are afraid of being calculated, and they do not know it.

I don't know why, Eleven Niang shuddered.

Speaking of which, Wu Niang can put down her self-esteem and be low, and she can step on someone when she has the opportunity, and she is also a skillful person. But even so, once the mystery is revealed, even if there are thousands of means, I am afraid that there will be no chance to use it.

Mrs. Wang didn't stay long, and after sending her away, the smile on the eldest lady's face couldn't be hidden, and Eleven Niang saw the fox confusion in Wu Niang's eyes.

In the afternoon, another lady from the Criminal Department came to visit Huang Ren.

At that time, Eleven Niang and the others went back to the house. It was Coral who came to report to Eleven Niang: "...... said that he came to propose to Mr. Qian. As he spoke, he glanced at Eleven Niang deeply.

Do you want to fight for yourself?

Eleven Niang thought about it, but couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If I hadn't stayed in the wing room to watch the play at that time, maybe I would have had a chance...... But now, I figured out Yuan Niang's game. Eleven Niang felt that she had no chance at all.

The addition of the evening may not be until the early hours of the morning, so don't wait...... I really can't write it!
