[Note: Some readers complained that Cen Shaoyao's name has a bad homonym, and Sister Yao is also known as Sister Yao. It's really sweaty, I really didn't think about it when I came up with the name. "What will happen to the world if humans lose their associations?" If nothing else, that's definitely a mistake. Then from this chapter onwards, Cen Shaoyao will be renamed Cen Ziman (this name...... No problem, right? ）】

"Alright, let's help her up." Seeing that there was no more water flowing out of Zhu Xinlan's mouth, Xia Jin said.

The little maid turned Zhu Xinlan over carefully, but halfway through, Zhu Xinlan's hands and feet suddenly moved, the little maid had little strength, and Zhu Xinlan fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Hey, ...... you" Mrs. Zhu screamed and wanted to scold, but she raised her eyes to meet the sharp gaze of Mrs. Xuanpinghou, and she held back the scolding vividly.

"Ah, she's awake." Suddenly, someone pointed at Zhu Xinlan and shouted.

Everyone looked at it, and sure enough. Zhu Xinlan's hand had been raised and put to her throat, and her mouth made a coughing sound of "cough cough".

"Sister Lan, Sister Lan." Mrs. Zhu was overjoyed and rushed over to pick up her daughter.

"Mother, I'm so uncomfortable."

"Huh? Where is the discomfort? Tell your mother, where is the discomfort? Mrs. Zhu asked hurriedly.

"Here, here." Zhu Xinlan pointed to her throat and then to her chest.

Mrs. Zhu turned her head: "Miss Xia, show my daughter quickly." ”

This time, Xia Jin didn't care about her attitude, and explained: "She choked on water before, and her chest and throat were naturally uncomfortable, but it will be fine after a while." It's okay. ”

At this moment, there was a sound of running footsteps outside, followed by a woman's voice outside the crowd: "Old lady." The slaves and maidservants brought the soft sedan chair. ”

"Let's let the sedan chair come in." Xuan Ping waited for the old lady to say.

Everyone quickly get out of the way.

Several healthy women came in carrying sedan chairs. Xia Jin recognized them, they were the same people who had smashed the shop in Renhetang.

The two women were powerful, and directly picked up Cen Ziman one by one [that is, the original Cen Shaoyao, who changed his name. The same applies hereinafter. Please remember, I won't remind you anymore] and Zhu Xinlan put it on the soft sedan chair.

The old lady Xuanping was wrong at first glance. Hurriedly asked: "Why did you bring two sedan chairs here?" ”

"Huh?" The mother-in-law at the head was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look. I saw that Xia Jin's hair was all wet, and although the clothes on the outside were semi-dry, there were also some places that were soaked by the clothes inside.

She hurriedly bowed her head and pleaded guilty: "It was the old slave's negligence, and I didn't see Miss Xia also go into the water." The old slave sent someone to carry a sedan chair. ”

"No need. Old lady. Xia Jin said on the side, "I'm fine, I don't need a sedan chair." It's just that the clothes are wet, and I asked the old lady to ask someone to find a change of clothes for me. ”

When she was in Renhetang, Mrs. Xuanping Hou had a very good impression of "Xia Xiaolangzhong", feeling that the child was atmospheric and calm, and dared not to lie to her greedy uncle, and was very angry with her. Now this Xia girl dares to wipe the face of the prefect's wife. knows what to do, knows how to advance and retreat, and the most important thing is to save his granddaughter's life. The old lady of Xuanping Hou likes it as much as she sees it.

She smiled: "Okay, you said you don't need a sedan chair, I won't find it for you." As for clothes, it's easy to do. Sister Yao also has a few topless clothes, and I will ask someone to find them for you to change them when the time comes. ”

Xia Jin was blessed: "Thank you, old lady." ”

"Hey." Old lady Xuanping waved her hand, "I want to say thank you." I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, my granddaughter and Miss Zhu. I'm afraid I'm going to be with the river god, where can I sit in a sedan chair alive. ”

"The two girls have a big life, even if there is no me, the two girls will not have an accident. Several mothers in the house came in time, and they would never let the two girls have anything to do. ”

"Hmph, speaking of which, I still have to find someone to settle the score." The old lady Xuanping waited for her face to sink, turned her head and said to her mother-in-law in a ginger gown, "This pond is the most accident-prone place, why don't you build a fence?" Even if it's too late to pick up, it is time to send some people here today to take precautions. Gu Er is also an old man, and he made such a big omission. Immediately you take someone with you, arrest him, beat him with thirty sticks, and get half a month's money. ”

"Yes." The woman replied respectfully.

Mrs. Xuanping turned her head and smiled at everyone again: "Everyone is frightened today, because I didn't think it through, and I was negligent in preventing crimes, so I am here to compensate everyone." I brought a lot of brocade forging from the capital, which was rewarded by the emperor. After a while, everyone will pick a horse, and I will make amends for everyone. ”

All the women politely excused themselves, saying that they didn't dare to take the word "reparation".

Old Mrs. Xuanping glanced at Mrs. Zhu's face, saw that there was indignation on her face, shook her head secretly, turned her head to Zhu Xinlan and said: "Miss Zhu is frightened today, I just have a set of heads and faces given by the concubine here, and I will give it to you to suppress the shock." ”

As soon as Zhu Xinlan was rescued ashore, she was tightly wrapped in a cloak by the lady who was good friends with her. I vomited the water in my stomach just now, and I'm fine at this time. Hearing the words of Mrs. Xuanping Hou, she was overjoyed, and she wanted to preclude a little before accepting it, but she didn't want her old lady to preemptively say, "Then thank you Mrs. Having this thing as a dowry is more decent than anything else. ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Mrs. Luo intentionally or unintentionally.

Mrs. Luo didn't see it, and walked behind Mrs. Xuanping with a faint expression.

When Zhu Xinlan heard this, she glanced at Luo Qian with a slightly red face. And Li Yuyuan's already pale face was a little less bloody.

Although all the women were secretly laughing at Mrs. Zhu's shallow eyes, they all secretly envied Zhu Xinlan in their hearts for being blessed by misfortune. The head jewelry rewarded by the concubine Niangniang, even if it is a nobleman in the capital, not many people can get it.

Luo Qian saw the eyes of Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Xinlan, frowned, pulled Xia Qi for a moment, then stopped, and said loudly to Mrs. Xuanping Hou: "Aunt and grandmother, since Miss Xia is taking care of you here, I don't have to follow Mr. Xia, right?" ”

Old lady Xuanping patted her head: "I'm old and confused." ”

Now Cen Ziman and Zhu Xinlan are in good health. And now that they are going to the inner courtyard to change their clothes, it is naturally inconvenient for Luo Qian and Xia Qi to follow.

She waved her hand, "Alright, you guys go out." ”

Luo Qian pulled Xia Qi and saluted. Sending the old lady Xuanping and her party forward for a while, they turned around and left.

"Luo Sangongzi is really a talent, and his aura is extraordinary." Mrs. Zhu praised Luo Qian as she walked.

The careful thinking of the mother and daughter of the Zhu family is clear to everyone in Linjiang City. Even if Mrs. Xuanping didn't know it before, she understood a little bit when she saw the situation today. Now. Like Mrs. Luo, she also looks down on the vulgarity of the Zhu family in every way. Hearing this, he was disgusted, turned his head and asked Mrs. Luo: "I remember that Brother Qian was born in the twenty-fifth year of Jiayuan, and he is seventeen years old this year, right?" Can you give him a kiss? ”

As soon as Zhu Xinlan and Li Yuyuan heard this, they immediately cheered up and pricked up their ears to listen.

When Mrs. Luo heard what Mrs. Xuanping said. It's right in the middle.

You must know that in the past two or three years, she has long been annoyed by Mrs. Zhu and Li Yuyuan's family. Although Zhu Xinlan and Li Yuyuan were jealous on various occasions, the two families did not send anyone to propose marriage, and Mrs. Luo had no chance to express her attitude.

Although the prefect Zhu Zhangnan is a jinshi, relying on the support of his teacher to become a four-grade prefect, he is from a poor family, and the old lady and the original wife in the family are not on the stage, and they can't teach any good girls.

Li Yuyuan's father, Li Wunan, is a subordinate envoy from Liupin in a thousand households, although his official position is the same as Luo Weitao. But now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the rights of military generals are suppressed, and his status is far inferior to Luo Weitao. Although it is said that the high family marries a daughter, the low family marries a wife. But Mrs. Luo is such a son, and the mother and son have always been pressed by concubines and concubines, so she wants to marry a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family and get the field back.

Now that Mrs. Xuanping asked in public, she just took the opportunity to explain the matter. So he smiled: "No, it will be seventeen by the time of the New Year." This kid has to be strong. always said that he would wait until he was admitted to the examination before discussing his relatives. So the matter was delayed. I've been helping him find relatives for the past few years, but I'm never satisfied. People like us. Although you don't necessarily have to marry the daughter of a wealthy family, you always have to choose your character and ability. Not to mention any help for his academic career, at least he can socialize externally, take care of his family business internally, and manage his back house; Be filial and respectful to your in-laws, and be gentle and considerate to your husband. ”

Hearing these conditions listed by Mrs. Luo, all the women nodded in agreement.

Most of their children came to the banquet today, not to mention that they are as old as Luo Qian, but also about the same age as Xia Qi and Xia Jin, which is the age to discuss marriage. They all agreed with these conditions mentioned by Mrs. Luo.

To marry a wife, you must marry a virtuous person. You can't marry a daughter-in-law and come back, you can't be on the stage in all aspects, you can offend people with one mouth, and you may even get into trouble; The inner house is a mess, and the industrial management is even more ignorant. The husband is tired and half dead outside, and when he comes home, he has to worry about all kinds of things and clean up the mess for his wife, right?

In ancient times, marriage paid attention to the right family, and this is the truth.

Mrs. Luo said and said with a smile: "My aunt knows a lot of people in the capital, if there is any suitable family, she will also help me find one." When the time comes, Xie Wenli is always indispensable to my aunt. ”

"Hey, I can still be without your thank you matchmaker?" Old lady Xuan Pinghou glanced at her with disgust, "But speaking of which, people I know have a few good daughters in their families." When the time comes, I will inquire for you and see if they are reluctant to marry their daughter so far! ”

When Mrs. Luo heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Actually, when she came today, she liked Cen Ziman very much. Needless to say, Cen Ziman's family background is the son of Xuanping Houfu, and when the old Houye dies, he will be the heir. And Cen Ziman's own brother is now serving as a royal guard, with five knives. This is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, a confidant of the emperor, and the heir to the title of Houfu. Another cousin was the first martial champion in the first two years, and now he is in Lu Province as a deputy commander-in-chief.

can marry such a daughter-in-law, when she returns to the Luo family in Suzhou Province, I am afraid she will be treated as a guest. As for Aunt Zhang and her two concubines, they only have the share of prostrate.

Moreover, Cen Ziman is pretty, generous, and has a very hearty personality, which is also very kind to Mrs. Luo.

Therefore, what she said just now inevitably did not mean to test the tone of the old lady. It's just that she was disappointed. (To be continued)
