Although the lotus banquet has passed, the turmoil of the Gao family's daughter falling into the water has not passed. The daughter of the Gao family fell into the water on the lotus banquet held by the queen's mother, and was rescued wet.

Most people say that Gao Xiangyun was pushed into the water, and some people say that Gao Xiangyun deliberately fell into the water to attract the attention of others. Some people even said that Gao Xiangyun fell into the water and was rescued by Shen Fang, and the two of them hugged each other, and they were not in a proper manner.

In short, the Gao family has become a topic of discussion among all families.

"Mother, now all over the capital are talking about our Xiang'er's affairs. Look, what's going on? "Gao Mansion, the third daughter-in-law of the Gao family, Zheng Shi, came in from outside and said to the old woman of the Gao family.

The old lady's face was very ugly, and the impact of this incident was really not small. "Xiang'er didn't fall into the water on purpose, she doesn't know water at all, can she still find death by herself? Those people outside are all well-fed, and they have nothing to do. ”

"What else can I do now? can only tell Xiang'er a family affair as soon as possible, and marry her off. The old lady of the Gao family thought about it, and there was only this way to go.

The second daughter-in-law of the Gao family, that is, Xiangyun's mother Cao, said anxiously at this time, "Although what my mother said is a method, but Xiang'er is now criticized, if she remarries in a hurry, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous?" ”

Whose daughter is distressed, and her daughter falls into the water, it is miserable enough, and the result will be discussed. If you really follow the old lady's words, find a random family to marry, wouldn't it hurt your daughter for the rest of your life? "Mother, Xiang'er is the daughter I love in the palm of my hand, where can she be so sloppy?"

"Second sister-in-law, what you said, don't look at the time? Are you Xiangyun now or before? Now that she is ugly at the lotus banquet, and she hugs others, it has long been spread all over the world. Now, I don't know if anyone is willing to marry? As long as someone is willing to marry, it is God blessed. Zheng pouted at this time and said.

Gao Xiangye has a total of three sons, only the second is an official in the court, the eldest and the third, all of them are not very promising. The old woman loves the third child again, and the daughter-in-law of the third child compares with the two sisters-in-law everywhere. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Gao family is gentle and kind, and she is silent on weekdays, and the Zheng family is somewhat inferior to her, but for the Cao family, it is a jealous madness.

Cao was born in an official family, his father and brother were both officials of the imperial court, and he married Erlang of the Gao family, and Erlang also had a smooth career and rose step by step. gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and each of them was excellent. Naturally, the son is needless to say, he is very good at reading, one is a jinshi, and the other is a lifter. Even that girl is also outstanding in learning, can be good at poetry and painting, but she is beautiful and refined, dignified and elegant.

There is such a concubine, and the Zheng family is like a thorn in the back, so they have to compete with the Cao family everywhere. But although the Zheng family is strong, but her husband and son, none of them are outstanding, and they can't take it at all. gave birth to two daughters, who are beautiful and beautiful, very good-looking, and they are a little more balanced in their hearts.

Zheng's two daughters are about the same age as Gao Xiangyun, and seeing that they are at the age of saying goodbye, everyone is running for Gao Xiangyun, but Biyun and Xiuyun are not cared for. Zheng was so angry in his heart, but he had no choice but to hate it in his heart.

Cao's love for his daughter is like his life, and he refuses to set a family affair for his daughter too early, always thinking that he can find a talented man who agrees with his daughter, sings and answers poems, and can be regarded as living up to his daughter's talent. In this way, Gao Xiangyun's family affairs have not been settled. Zheng wanted to compete with his sister-in-law, but of course he refused to marry his daughter too early.

In the past year or so, the queen mother has often held some banquets, and anyone with a discerning eye understands that this is to choose concubines for several princes. Many high-ranking families in Beijing are dragging their daughters to discuss their marriages early, just waiting for the prince to choose a concubine. Maybe whoever is favored by the queen and the prince will be able to marry into the royal family and fly on the branches.

When the Zheng family learned of such news, they refused to let their daughter easily agree to the family, and pestered the Cao family, so that the Cao family had to take a few girls from the family out to the banquet.

The Cao family had always refused before, she didn't want her daughter to be elected to the royal family, but she couldn't stand the old woman's persuasion. It happened that this time the queen held a lotus banquet, and under the encouragement and persuasion of Zheng and the old lady, Cao took a few school-age girls in the family to Taiye Pool.

But where did I think of it, something like this happened. Now, Zheng actually said this about his daughter, and Cao was really annoyed. "Third brother and sister, what do you mean by that? Xiang'er fell into the water, don't you need to be rescued by others, and you have to drown? Can there be a woman who can quickly go into the water to save people? ”

"Zhen Guogong came to the rescue, and if he didn't hold Xiang'er, how could he save Xiang'er? According to what my younger brothers and sisters said, our Xiang'er should have drowned in the Taiye Pool, and he shouldn't have been rescued at all, right? Cao Shi was furious, glared at Zheng Shi and said.

"Oh, second sister-in-law, I didn't mean that. However, Xiang'er was wet and wet, but many people looked at it at the time, and the reputation was damaged after all. This is a fact, can the second sister-in-law still deny it? ”

"The second sister-in-law loves her daughter, of course she thinks that her daughter is right, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is not like this. What man would marry a woman who has been embraced by another man? Zheng's heart is so happy, she just can't get used to seeing the second room everywhere smooth sailing, the spring breeze is proud, can add to their blockage, Zheng can't be happy.

The Cao family couldn't wait to step forward and tore the Zheng family's mouth, "Third brother and sister, you are the daughter-in-law of the Gao family, not to mention maintaining the reputation of the Gao family, why are you still like people outside, casually insulting the reputation of the Gao family's girls?" You must know that in the eyes of outsiders, the Gao family is the Gao family, and people are not divided into two bedrooms and three bedrooms. If Xiang'er's reputation is damaged, will the reputation of your two daughters be good? ”

When Zheng heard this, her face changed greatly, she was bent on saying goodbye to her sister-in-law, where could she think of this? At this time, if you think about it carefully, isn't that what is going on? "Oh, my hard-working daughter, she is so alive, and she has been affected by others. Mother, you better hurry up and find a way to marry Xiang'er. Otherwise, Xiu'er and Bi'er will also be implicated. ”

The old lady's face also changed slightly, she usually favors her younger son and daughter-in-law, and she also has a lot of love for the two daughters in her younger son's family. It's not that Xiang'er is bad, but this Xiang'er is always immersed in the stacks of books on weekdays, and even if he comes to say goodbye, he is all in order, and rarely spoils the old lady or anything.

The old people are like this, and the closer they are to her, the more they hurt her. Now when I hear this, of course, I feel sorry for the other two granddaughters. "Second daughter-in-law, you don't have to be angry. Although the third daughter-in-law said something ugly, it was such a truth. Our Gao family's poetry and book heirloom is the most knowledgeable and observant, Xiang'er this time, it is indeed a real reputation, and there is nothing to complain about. ”

"If you want me to see it, hurry up and propose marriage to Xiang'er, and get married quickly." The old lady held her forehead with one hand, looking very headache.

Cao's face was flushed, her chest was undulating, she stood up, flicked her sleeves and walked out. "It's you who let me take the girl out of the house, and it's you who complain when something happens. Hmph, with me, I will definitely not allow Xiang'er to marry off hastily. ”

Since the Cao family married into the Gao family, he has been thoughtful in dealing with people, and he has even more respect for the old lady of the Gao family, and there has never been such a time to speak so badly to each other. Today, the Cao family was also angry, and he shouted out regardless of it.

When the old lady of the Gao family heard this, she trembled with anger, "I'm not dead yet, this family, it's not your turn to call the shots." I said that if I marry Xiang'er, I have to marry off. ”

"What's the point of losing your temper at us? If you have the ability, you let Zhenguo Gong come to the door to propose marriage, and marry Xiang'er and go home. If you have this ability, I will obey you. Here, the Zheng family also added fuel to the fire and squeezed the Cao family.

"I said second sister-in-law, you don't really have this plan in your heart, do you? Haha, the prince of the town, young and handsome, suave, and a dignified meritorious family, the nephew of the queen's mother. Second sister-in-law, our family, but we can't afford to climb it. You better stop dreaming. Zheng looked at Cao's back and said with disdain.

Zheng's words really stepped on Cao's sore spot. The girl was rescued by others, and it is inevitable that there will be contact in the process, but the Gao family can't rely on someone else's town because of this, right? Could it be that people are kind enough to save others, but they can't rely on others? The Gao family has been a scholarly family for generations, how can they do such a thing?

"Don't think I'm just like you, with a dirty mind. Zhenguo Gong is bright and upright, a dignified gentleman, and he is Xiang'er's life-saving benefactor, my Xiang'er, even if he can't marry to be a sister-in-law, he will definitely not rely on Guogong's mansion. Cao Shi turned his head, looked at Zheng Shi with a sinking face, and said coldly.

"Mother, why do you bother with them? The daughter is sitting upright, why should she care about what others say? At this time, a woman came in from outside, it was Gao Xiangyun in the sunset water.

The weather in June was not cold in the water, and Gao Xiangyun, who returned home, drank ginger soup and ran a hot bath, so he did not catch a cold. It's just that I was inevitably a little frightened when I fell into the water, and I nested in the room for a few days and didn't come out. She also heard the girls muttering, saying that in the old lady's courtyard, the third wife and the second wife quarreled, so she hurried over.

When Zheng saw Xiangyun, he couldn't help but look sarcastic, and just wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the mother-in-law who suddenly came in outside. "The old woman, the second wife, the third wife, the Zhenguo Mansion sent someone to visit the fourth girl."
