Xie Yunqing obediently said: "Yes." Then he walked out with Gu Yunshuang and Madam Hu respectively.
Madam Hu lowered her head to drink tea, her eyes rolled slightly. Gu Yunshuang and her hadn't had much contact with each other a long time ago. What words would she specifically come to talk to? Did you even distract your own daughter
Gu Yunshuang was not in a hurry to speak. She leisurely instructed the little maid to prepare cakes, then turned her head and said to Mrs. Hu: "Time flies so fast. I still remember the way we quarreled when we were young. We were both grandmothers. Up."
"Yes," Madam Hu exclaimed. "The events that happened to the children in our family are vivid, and they have grown up in the blink of an eye." Madam Hu is one year younger than Gu Yunshuang, but she was too early. Annoyed, life has been unsuccessful, so he looks a few years older than Gu Yunshuang.
"Your family, Zicheng, I even hugged him when I was a child, and now I have married a wife and gave birth to a child. Does Ziqian talk about marriage?"
Hu Cheng is Madam Hu's most beloved youngest son. He has been spoiled by Madam Hu since he was a child, and he has become more stubborn and idle. Fortunately, because the right minister had been sending people to follow him closely, Huo Cheng did not cause any trouble. Huoqian was the concubine born to Aunt Zhao. Although he was credited to Madam Hu, Madam Hu couldn't get close to her all the time.
Madam Hu listened to the first half of Gu Yunshuang's words and smiled politely. After listening to the second half of Gu Yunshuang's words, her smile froze.
"Ziqian's marriage naturally has his grandmother and father worrying about him. I don't bother to bother about it." Madam Hu said coldly.
"You, you are all a lot of age, what else can't let it go?" Gu Yunshuang said helplessly, "Youxiang used to pet that Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Zhao died of illness. Even if you are worried about Aunt Zhao's well, people After so many years of death, it is estimated that he has almost forgotten what the Aunt Zhao looks like? Why are you so angry because of this incident?"
"You are asked by the right to adopt a son, didn't you just want to step down the next step? The child followed your old lady since he was born, and he didn't even see his biological mother several times. The old lady did this because he didn't want him to be close to his biological mother. Don’t you understand these?"
"You are the head mother of the Hu family, and you are Ziqian's mother. You are righteous for his marriage. If you don't take advantage of your old lady's engagement to him, you can fix his marriage. I'm afraid it will be difficult to interfere with him in the future. Married."
Gu Yunshuang has always been a good talker, and immediately stunned Madam Hu.
"Why should I intervene in his marriage? In short, no matter what kind of wife he marries, he can still get past my son or not?" Madam Hu pouted.
"Don't forget, Ziqian is remembered in your name, and he can be regarded as the Hu family's direct son. Not only can he inherit half of the Hu family's property, but he also has the opportunity to compete with Zicheng for the position of Hu family's heir."
The concubines of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not strict, but among the aristocratic families in the capital, they regarded the concubines very seriously. Especially when it comes to the separation of family property and family inheritance, these have to be moved to the open face to discuss.
If Huoqian hadn't been remembered by Mrs. Hu and had always been a bastard, he would only inherit a negligible family property in the future. But now he is a righteous son, not to mention half of the family property, even if it is all, he has a chance to fight for it. Not to mention, the family heritage that the people care about most.
Mrs. Hu had also thought about this issue, but she always felt that Zicheng was the eldest son of her maternal ancestor, and the Hu family would not be too partial to Huqian. At most, it was just some gold, silver, and silk for Huoqian. Madam Hu really didn't like this money.
Now that Gu Yunshuang said this, he was a little panicked. "That kid is mediocre, what's the book..." Before she finished speaking, she stopped.
No matter how mediocre Huoqian is, he is very obedient and filial in front of Youxiang and Mrs. Hu. Youxiang and Mrs. Hu love him very much.
Madam Hu was suddenly confused, her voice trembling a little: "My son is a hundred times better than that kid, and I will never allow that
The kid can step on my son's head. "
"So I told you, I personally choose a wife for Huoqian, and take good care of Huoqian." Gu Yunshuang said slowly.
"But, where can I go to pick him up for a marriage?" Madam Hu asked. She naturally chooses to marry a wife for her own son. She can pick a bad girl from any other family. She has been picking more than a dozen families before she picks one out. The girl is sensible and capable, but Mrs. Hu always dislikes her and keeps finding fault.
Marrying a wife with her own son, she is exhausted and can't wait to be kind to her son. When Huoqian came here, she didn't want to bother at all. Otherwise, why Huoqian was so old and didn't even talk about marriage
Mrs. Hu's mind is very confused, she can't think of any suitable people. Naturally, she would not marry a woman with good family talents and looks for Huo Qian, and compare her son to the past. But if you marry someone who is not on the stage, I am afraid that others will poke her back and call her unfair.
Besides, Mrs. Hu is also a face-saving person and doesn't want to lose this person.
"Why do you think I am looking for you?" Gu Yunshuang looked at Madam Hu's appearance at the moment, and was already half confident about what was going to be said next.
Mrs. Hu guessed that she would never be Gu Yunshuang's own daughter, right? After listening to Gu Yunshuang continue to speak.
"You know, our father-in-law has a half-sister. She was married to the Cheng family in Bingzhou and gave birth to two girls. The older girl is now in her marrying age and is the same age as yours. Ziqian is similar. He looks good, and he matches Ziqian a little bit."
Gu Yunshuang said that she wanted to praise Cheng Lin that there was nothing in the sky, but she couldn't speak, so she just slurred a few words casually.
"She is living in our house. Although she is a cousin of the Guogong Mansion, in the final analysis she is just the daughter of an ordinary Fanshu family. Marrying Ziqian will not add any help to Ziqian. You can easily Can hold her."
Madam Hu will be suspicious after hearing this, "I heard that your aunt is the heart of your old lady, and she must be very protective of your niece, right?"
"Our old lady can only dominate in her yard, she can still reach into your yard? Tell you the truth, my two nieces are also capable of trouble, my daughter is all day Li was troubled by them. But she married, you are a mother-in-law, and you can control her as a mother-in-law. She dare not fight against you, can't she toss Huoqian?"
"It is said that marrying a wife and a virtuous wife, a virtuous husband will do little harm. If your family Ziqian marries such a wife, he will not be able to take care of the things in his backyard all day, so there is no time to block Zicheng's path.
Cheng Lin is indeed a noisy person. Whenever he goes to any house, he will be disturbed.
Madam Hu pondered it for a while, it seemed to be the reason.
"Although our old lady said that she hasn't asked Ziqian about it in recent years, she will always ask about this important marriage. If your niece asks anything she doesn't agree, everything will be in vain?"
Cheng Lin's reputation in the capital is indeed not very good now. Mrs. Hu has heard a few comments from her next person. Now that she knows everything, the old lady must know it too.
"You have been in charge for dozens of years, don't you know the truth about cutting first and playing later?" Gu Yunshuang said, "You said that the ** government gave ** the birthday of the **, and saw our Xie family's cousin. She is slim and gentle. You asked me, only to know that she is the cousin of the ** government, and know that she has not yet been betrothed to someone else, so you made a marriage with me."
Madam Hu thought for a while and gritted her teeth, "Anyway, I am his mother. I can still do his marriage. I don't want to bother to marry him. I just leave it to you."
Gu Yunshuang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't bother to praise Cheng Lin. Having said so many good things about Cheng Lin, it was really a little guilty. The two exchanged tokens, looking in harmony.
After speaking for a while, Gu Yunshuang took Madam Hu to walk around the garden.
Lianhua walked to the main hall and dragged a servant girl beside him. This maid was one of the few Xie's servants she knew, called Caiping.
"Hey, I'll ask you something." Lianhua said in a low voice.
Caiping was secretly secretly secretly looking forward to the young and handsome family prince, suddenly being pulled by the sleeve of the lotus flower, slightly unhappy in his heart. "Why? Didn't you see that I was busy?" she said gruffly.
Lianhua also knew that Caiping was impatient with her, but if she didn't complete the task Cheng Yao gave her, she would definitely be beaten back.
Others don't know Cheng Yao's temper, but Lianhua does. Cheng Yao looks innocent and lively on the surface, but privately likes to punish his subordinates, which is corporal punishment at every turn. Lianhua was a servant who served Cheng Yao close to her body, but her arms were all bruised, all pinched by Cheng Yao.
Lotus stuffed a small ingot of silver into the color screen, and the color screen smiled, and the voice was slightly soft: "Say, what is it?"
Lianhua said hurriedly: "Cai**, that son, do you know who it is?" She pointed at the young man who was talking to others, the one Cheng Yao asked her to ask.
Caiping glanced at the man, and immediately turned his head to look at Lianhua, "He is the Fourth Prince, what do you do with him?"
Lianhuabei was so scared that her hands were shaking, "Fourth or Fourth Prince?" Her voice was shaking.
"It's the fourth prince. This time he was ordered by the emperor to celebrate our grandfather's birthday." Caiping said, "In short, these princes and grandchildren are not something we can afford. You'd better stay away from him. ."
Lotus was too busy to respond, and thanked the colorful screen again and again. Out of the main hall, I went to find Cheng Yao.
Cheng Yao excitedly asked, "Did you find out? Who is that person?"
"Miss, the servant girl asked Caiping, Caiping said," Lianhua said in a low voice, "Caiping said that was the fourth prince of the dynasty, so let us stay away from him."
"Four princes?" Cheng Yao murmured and repeated, and then became a little excited. The man she accidentally bumped into turned out to be a nobleman!
If she could climb the big tree of the Fourth Prince, she wouldn't have to pay attention to Cheng Lin or Xie Yunqing. When the time comes, Cheng Lin and Xie Yunqing will probably still kowtow when they see themselves.
Cheng Yao became more excited as she thought about it, the excitement on her face was beyond words.
Lianhua became more and more disturbed, but he did not dare to speak any more. Just now Cheng Yao pinched her, her arm still felt a little pain.
Cheng Yao naturally did not consider her own conditions, and had already imagined several scenes of meeting the Fourth Prince again in her mind.
Xie Yunqing walked out from Gu Yunshuang, just in time to see Cheng Yao standing beside the peony bush. Cheng Yao bit her lip halfway, her eyes full of light. Such a look, Xie Yunqing remembers that Shen Miaohua also used this look when he was determined to win something.
What is she trying to grab
Xie Yunqing walked over, "Second cousin, what are you doing here, why don't you talk to other sisters?"
Cheng Yao's mood improved at this time, forgetting the unhappiness that Xie Yunqing and Cheng Lin brought to her just now, so she said casually: "I'm standing here to enjoy the flowers."
Xie Yunqing looked at the clusters of peony in the flowerbed.
Many flowers and trees are planted in the garden of Xie's family. This peony has always been regarded as the best in Beijing. It's just that it's not the peony blooming season yet, the emerald green leaves have just stretched, and the buds haven't even hit. Which kind of flower is she admiring
Xie Yunqing did not open up, "Speaking of which, I didn't introduce you to the sisters in Beijing. Let's get to know them together."
Cheng Yao naturally didn't want to meet those expensive ladies from the family, but when she thought of the four princes living in the capital, she wanted to get in early, nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, then I will trouble you."
"It's not troublesome, they are all sisters, what's the point of view." Xie Yunqing said.
She noticed that when she was walking with Cheng Yao, Cheng Yao looked into the main hall for several times, all eyes were on one person.
—Xiao Yu.
