It turned out that as early as a few months ago, her stepmother, Mrs. Ouyang, was unwell and fainted in the imperial garden when she entered the palace for a banquet.

It was precisely because of this incident that Mrs. Ouyang was very grateful to Mrs. Fan, and later saw that the prince of Wei was another talented person and behaved moderately, so she came up with the idea of begging her daughter to the prince of Wei.

First, she corresponded with the Duchess of Wei Guo Fan many times, and found that Fan was kind, kind, strict in governing the family, and very easy to get along with; Second, the two families became in-laws, and they were also grateful and rewarded for Fan's righteousness in saving her.

Therefore, after discussing with her brother who was far away in Luzhou, Mrs. Ouyang quietly probed Fan's tone, but she never thought that Fan's was also very satisfied, so the two families were just deciding now, and they only waited for Ouyang Jinglan to come back and then slowly discuss the matter of the Six Rites!

Hearing the news, Chu Peijin's mouth opened slightly, and the whole person was stunned!

Ouyang Jinglan had a fight with Yao Zimo before she left Kyoto, and she still clearly remembers that Yao Zimo was beaten by Ouyang Jinglan and Cuizhi Nianxue that day, and her nose and face were swollen!

Why are the two of them engaged??

Oh my God!

I don't know what Ouyang Jinglan will look like when she hears the news?

Chu Peijin really wants to know!

"That Yao Shizi has no opinion?" Chu Peijin couldn't help but be a little worried that these two would really form an enemy, so he asked with concern.

If she was Yao Zimo, she would probably not agree to this family business, after all, she was once beaten by Ouyang Jinglan into that appearance!

Although no one knows about this matter, if two people become husband and wife, it will be a different matter!

What man wants to hold his head up in front of his wife?

Lin Yan was a little surprised that Chu Peijin would ask this.

She said: "I haven't heard that Yao Shizi opposes this family business. Although the Ouyang Mansion is not as good as it used to be, General Ouyang's name back then and anyone who mentions it now are all well-known figures. I heard that Wei Guogong also admired General Ouyang himself very much back then! ”

Lin Yan's implication is that the two families are also a good match, and it is impossible for Yao Shizi to look down on Ouyang Jinglan.

Chu Peijin couldn't say that the two of them had already fought, but judging from the fact that Yao Zimo did not object to this family lineage, she always felt that things might not be so simple!

Xie Jiaqi unconsciously looked at Chu Peijin when she heard this and asked, "Are you worried about Miss Jinglan?" ”

Chu Peijin nodded.

This is the only sister she has met who truly treats her as her own sister, and her happiness is certainly worth her attention.

Xie Jiaqi's eyes flashed slightly, and said, "Putting aside the family backgrounds of the two of them, I think Miss Jinglan and Yao Shizi are indeed a good match." However, Miss Chu probably doesn't know yet, right? There is news in the palace, saying that it is ready to choose a concubine! ”

Chu Peijin was taken aback!

"Choosing a concubine? For whom? ”

Now that the emperor is about to celebrate his fiftieth birthday, no matter how he takes care of it, he is already an old man after all; And the princes are getting older, in addition to the prince's current medicine stone to continue his life, only the second prince and the third prince have concubines, and the following princes, including Jing Yan, have not yet married, but they have indeed reached the age of choosing a concubine!

However, thinking that Jing Yan was about to choose a concubine, and his identity was indeed not enough to marry him openly, Chu Peijin's mood was inevitably a little depressed!

"It's the emperor. However, in addition to the emperor, most of them still have to choose concubines for several other princes. Speaking of this, Xie Jiaqi gently turned the white jade porcelain cup in his hand and hesitated slightly before continuing, "I guess that there is a deeper meaning in Mrs. Ouyang's desire to marry the Duke of Wei so soon!" ”

"You mean—"

Chu Peijin raised her eyebrows, thought of a possibility, and her face couldn't help but change!

The stepmother's reluctance to have anything to do with the royal family is enough to prove from her behavior of staying at home for many years!

It's just that now, probably because of herself, she is standing in front of the noble lady of the Kyoto family again, so Ouyang Jinglan's family affairs will have great variables!

If you want to put an end to this uncertain variable, the best way is to get engaged as soon as possible!

It's just that in this way, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my stepmother to take into account Jing Lan's thoughts!

Thinking of this, Chu Peijin couldn't help but secretly start to worry about Ouyang Jinglan's reaction after learning about this matter!

Xie Jiaqi didn't know the twists and turns in Chu Peijin's heart, she slowly took a sip of tea, gently put the cup back on the table, sighed imperceptibly, and spoke again.

"Most of our women's fate is in the hands of our parents, if our parents are attentive, they don't have to worry about not marrying their lovers; But if it is the power of the father's mother, then the child can only accept his fate! ”

Speaking of this, she lowered her head slightly, and her hands subconsciously slowly rubbed the delicately embroidered bamboo leaves on the hem of her clothes, and her lonely expression made people feel a pain in her heart!

Lin Yan couldn't help but reddened his eyes slightly, reached out and gently held Xie Jiaqi's hand, and said, "Sister Xie, you still have us!" ”

Seeing this, Chu Peijin said with a straight face: "Those things that happened at the beginning were not your fault, you don't have to take all the causes of the bitter consequences into your own body!" Now that you are the steward of my handmade doll workshop, you can pursue your own happiness again! If you think about it from time to time, isn't it yourself who suffers? ”

Xie Jiaqi's body trembled, and she didn't say anything for a long time.

However, Lin Yan's spirits perked up and he said, "Miss Chu is right! Sister Xie, you are not worse off now than before, although you don't have your parents, brothers and sisters around, but you still have us, there are those good sisters! ”

Xie Jiaqi nodded, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then said, "Miss Chu, I almost forgot something." ”

Chu Peijin raised her eyebrows, "Isn't there something wrong over there?" ”

"Not really!" Xie Jiaqi shook his head, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and explained: "That's the case, since half a year ago to now, there are about six or seven girls in the handicraft workshop who have been other people's concubines, and I ...... I let them go ...... I let them go."

Chu Peijin: "......"

Got married so soon? It seems that their market is not bad!

She didn't think about it, so after listening to Xie Jiaqi's words, she nodded with a smile and said, "This is a good thing!" I'm glad they found their home! ”

Xie Jiaqi was stunned when she heard Chu Peijin say this, and only after a while did she say with a guilty face: "I thought the same thing at the time, so I didn't write to tell you." It's just that...... Just ......"

She gently bit her teeth and got up from the chair with a somewhat uneasy expression, and was about to kneel down for Chu Peijin, but this action scared Chu Peijin a lot!

"Xie Erniang, what are you doing here?"

She reached out and grabbed Xie Jiaqi's arm and let her sit back again, then she glanced at her and said, "There are tall people who are on top of everything big, not to mention that everything is with me, don't worry about it anymore!" ”

"That's it!" Lin Yan was also frightened by Xie Jiaqi's behavior just now, and at this time he hurriedly followed Chu Peijin's words to enlighten her, "No matter what happens, you don't have to fight alone, wouldn't it be better if we talked about it?" ”

Chu Peijin glanced at Lin Yan approvingly and said, "What Miss Lin said is extremely true! ”

After speaking, she called Cuizhi to come in and add some hot tea, and saw that Xie Jiaqi's mood stabilized before asking, "What happened?" ”
