Chapter 397: Great Expectations

"That's what my aunt said."

The sister-in-law Liu next to her was also laughing and talking, although she was worried about Ping'er's marriage, she also knew that the occasion was not right, and she would not speak casually.

"How do you want to spend this year?"

"After all, it's the first year of my grandmother's death, so it's better to be clean."

"Yes, it's just that the family is clean and nothing, remember the gifts that should be given outside, and the love that should be repaid should still be done, don't let the people outside gossip more, you know?"

"Aunt, don't worry, with my aunt pointing me, I won't make a mistake."

Then, Du Jingyi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he said what he thought for his sister-in-law Liu, and after glancing at Xing You, he said bluntly.

"Auntie, I don't know if this daughter of the Xing family is married?"

Mrs. Xing felt a little strange when she first heard this, but when she saw the positive appearance of the sister-in-law Liu next to her, she understood, and then said in a low voice.

"My sister-in-law's heart is higher than the sky, I can't wait to send my daughter to the palace to be a concubine, don't think about it, she won't agree."

Although the words were not said directly, Du Jingyi and sister-in-law Liu both understood.

It's just that the sister-in-law Liu is not dead yet, so she said as soon as she opened her mouth.

"But she's eighteen years old and doesn't subscribe to anyone's house, even if she is sent to the palace now, she may not be able to earn a way out!"

When Mrs. Xing heard this, she felt that her sister-in-law Liu was a little short-sighted.

looked left and right to see no one, and then pulled her aside to talk.

"Don't say she's eighteen, it's twenty-eight, with such a background, you can also enter the door of the royal family, I heard the master say, probably after the New Year, I will go to Sui'an City, although it is said to be a relative, but I guess it is about to be sent to the East Palace."

The quota of the main concubine and the side concubine in the East Palace has long been full, even if this Miss Xing goes, she can't be a concubine, but after looking at Mrs. Xing's expression, Du Jingyi suddenly felt that it was the Xing family who got some news, Your Majesty's deadline is approaching?

And if the prince can successfully ascend to the throne, there will be a lot of positions in the harem.

If you are lucky enough, or the conditions given by the people in the Xing family's big house are rich enough, you can't help but get a concubine.

In addition, if this Miss Xing family is a competitive person and gives birth to a prince or something, the future of the future is even more difficult to say, so how can she see Shangping'er, a hairy boy, and the crumbling Guogong Mansion?

Hearing this, Du Jingyi understood that this Miss Xing was not playing, so she persuaded her sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, there are many good people, this is not good, let's take a look at the rest, since the Xing family has such an idea, then even if we go to the door, I am afraid that we will not be able to eat good fruits."

Sister-in-law Liu was unwilling, but she also knew what Du Jingyi said.

can only be silent for the time being, thinking about whether there is any other way out, fortunately Ping'er is not very old, even if it is delayed for two or three years.

Speaking of which, Du Jingyi wanted to ask Mrs. Xing, what was Yan Sanlang's situation?

And Mrs. Xing was also like a mirror in her heart, and said to Du Jingyi as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Don't worry, I also remember Lang'er's affairs, the eldest aunt didn't know Yan Sanlang's situation at the beginning, since the last time he was rejected, his kid went back but worked hard, and now only a few months have passed, I heard that he has been promoted to a petty official."

"That's good."

"Actually, in private, the third sister-in-law also asked me twice about this Yan Saburo, and the eldest aunt refused ruthlessly, mainly because of the situation of the princess's family, but I don't think there is any need to worry so much, as long as the child is good for Sanlang, and it is good for Lang'er, it is not a bad thing to be fulfilled."

"Fulfillment? The third sister also has this meaning? ”

"I haven't heard the straightforward meaning yet, but Xing Zhao's kid sent Yan Sanlang's news to Lang'er every once in a while, if she didn't care at all, how could she let Xing Zhao talk so nonsense?"

Listening to Mrs. Xing's words, Du Jingyi also reacted.

If this is the case, then there are some opportunities, anyway, it will take time for Yan Saburo to go up, and the third sister will also have to serve the period of Ding worry, just right!

So he said to Mrs. Xing.

"I see that the third aunt has been worried about this matter for a few days, why don't I go and ask the third sister, if she also thinks that this person can do it in her heart, then it is better to make it clear to the third aunt, and if there is hope, it will be better."

When Mrs. Xing heard this, she also felt reasonable, so she said.

"Then you pick a time, and when you want to talk, you can make an appointment with me, and we will go together, so that we can circle each other."

"Yes, aunt."

Sister-in-law Liu listened to the words of the two, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

When she looked at the young lady of the Xing family again, she had a more regretful expression, perhaps she was unconsciously a little intoxicated, so Mrs. Xing was also slightly aware of it.

She is now more serious about covering her daughter than covering her family wealth, how can she call a sister-in-law Liu to affect her.

So, I made an excuse at random, and took my daughter to a farther place to talk.

Coincidentally, I met Ping'er and Xing Zhao coming.

The two of them are very high-spirited now, especially Ping'er, there is a kind of reborn posture, coupled with the young and handsome, they still called some ladies who came to eat noodles to take a fancy to them.

They all sounded, what kind of person is this Ping'er!

"My nephew has seen my aunt."

When Xing Zhao met Mrs. Xing, he had to say hello no matter what, and Ping'er said when he saw that this was also a regular salute.

"Shang Zhiping has seen Mrs. Xing."

Mrs. Xing avoided it, where did she still have the heart to talk to the two of them, so she naturally said "uh-huh" twice, pulled her daughter and left.

However, Xing You looked at Ping'er by mistake, and felt that this person was a good person.

It's a pity that Ping'er's eyes at the moment are clear and he can't see the difference between men and women at all, and after only nodding slightly, he followed Xing Zhao away, and when he left, he didn't care about the eyes of some women behind him.

And these are not wrong in the eyes of sister-in-law Liu.

Seeing that some ladies had some curious looks in their eyes when they saw Ping'er, the sourness in her heart was relieved.

So she regrouped and thought, since the Xing family can't climb high, then she will take a look at the others, anyway, Ping'er is still young, so she is not in a hurry.

"Mother, cousin, cousin, let us come over and talk to you, it's time to have a meal."

The arrival of Xing Zhao made Mrs. Xing grit her teeth so badly, and she gritted her ears at Du Jingyi and said.

"What is Lang'er, look at this kid, it's almost twenty-five and he hasn't ordered it, I'm going to be angry!"
