"The one ordered by the Yu family... never makes us feel at ease..." After a long while, the second old lady looked at the third old lady and sighed.
"If you're worried, let father go and ask around. We can't just rely on hearsay." Qu Moying looked very businesslike, and there was no sign of any subjective disgust or opposition to the mention of Yu's family.
"It's someone from Yu's maternal family." The third old lady was afraid that Qu Moying didn't understand, so she added this sentence.
"After all, it's not the Yu family! The Yu family is not good, but that doesn't mean that everyone on Yu's side of the family is bad. Could it be that anyone who has a connection with the Yu family is looked down upon by our Qu family?" Qu Moying asked back.
"Of course I look down on her. How can anything good be done by being associated with someone like Yu?" The second old lady replied unhappily.
It was too late for the third old lady to stop it. She could only sigh helplessly. The words were too absolute. She beat the man to death with a stick!
"What about my second brother and third sister? They were both born to Yu. We can't kick them out of the Qu Mansion, right?" Qu Moying asked.
The second old lady opened her mouth, but was suddenly speechless.
If this is really the case, Qu Mingcheng and Qu Qiuyan are indeed the ones with the closest relationship to the Yu family.
The third old lady responded quickly, "If you really don't care about this matter, then we have asked you. Your grandmother is also worried that you will be estranged from your new sister-in-law, so we asked you to come and ask your opinion. If you really agree, then... this matter is settled?"
This was a very quick reversal of all the previous words, and a clear explanation, and finally the question was thrown back in front of Qu Moying.
"Of course, this matter depends on the opinions of father and grandmother." Qu Moying said lightly, without expressing any intention to express his opinion.
The two old ladies looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
"Since Ying also agrees with this marriage, then let's not cancel it!" said the second old lady to the third old lady.
"It would be better to meet again!" The third old lady was silent for a moment, hesitating.
Qu Moying did not respond, but quietly watched the two old ladies discuss and finalize the matter. They had to watch it on the spot before making a decision.
As for the specific situation, I have to discuss it with the lady.
Since the matter had been brought up to Qu Moying, and seeing that Qu Moying had no objection, the two old ladies also said that they had lived up to their trust in this matter, and asked Qu Moying and Qu Luqin to leave. They would wait for the lady dowager to come and discuss the details together.
Qu Moying was in front and Qu Luqin was behind, and the two left the hall one after the other.
"Fourth Miss... if you don't like it, just say so. Now... my grandmother and the others will take whatever you say seriously." Qu Luqin bit her lip and whispered.
She had been sitting quietly by the side, and listened carefully to what was said.
"Cousin Luqin, what do you think the two great aunts want to say?" Qu Moying glanced at Qu Luqin with interest.
"It sounds like... they want you to accept this marriage. What they said before... seemed more like they were testing your attitude... As for what comes next, maybe we really have to wait and see before making a decision. After all, it's hard to say whether this is a good or bad thing." Although Qu Luqin hesitated, her words were still straightforward and she didn't try to evade the question.
The voice was low and timid, but because it was so straightforward
, but it is no longer as annoying as before.
"Cousin Luqin, have you heard of this marriage before?" Qu Moying asked calmly.
"I... I didn't, my elder sister said... she... she didn't know either." Qu Luqin didn't expect Qu Moying to ask her such a question. She didn't know how to answer it. She deliberately brought Qu Hongqin with her, looking very unconfident.
"Cousin Luqin, please stay!" Qu Moying said after leaving the yard.
Qu Luqin couldn't follow him any further, so she responded in a low voice and stood aside to watch Qu Moying leave. Her eyes were filled with bitterness and jealousy, intertwined into a complex and indescribable feeling...
When they returned to Qingqianyueju, Nanny Zhou was waiting at the door. She was relieved when she saw Qu Moying coming back.
Several people returned to the main house together, and Yu Dong couldn't help asking: "Miss, do these two old ladies think this marriage is not good or not?"
She was listening just now, but she was also confused. The previous words were against it, but then she agreed. Although there were explanations in between, they sounded very forced.
"Not sure!" Qu Moying shook his head.
"Then what do they want to see the young lady for?" Nanny Zhou asked anxiously, looking a little uneasy.
"I feel that they are giving face to the young lady. After all, the young lady is going to marry me. It is better to get the young lady's consent for anything we do now, to avoid trouble if she disagrees in the future." Yu Dong thought for a while and said.
He felt that this must be the truth, otherwise he really didn't know why the two old ladies called the young lady over today.
"I don't think it's that simple." Madam Zhou said uneasily. She looked up at Qu Moying and hesitated for a moment. "Miss, is the Second Master thinking of something again?"
Nanny Zhou was wary of Qu Zhizhen from the bottom of her heart. She had been enlightened by the young lady before, and there were some things she had always wanted to say to the young lady, but she never had the chance.
I didn't say it before because I felt it was not good for the young lady, and that was also what my wife advised me at the time. But the young lady said that she was not the person involved, so how could she know whether it was good or bad.
What you think is good or bad is not what you think after all. The lady is a person with her own ideas, so she might have other thoughts.
But when it comes to that secret matter, she has to find a suitable opportunity before she can speak.
But this did not prevent her from being wary of the Second Master's actions. If there was anyone else in the mansion who was always wary of Qu Zhizhen, it was no one other than Nanny Zhou!
"Whatever it is, just take your time and watch!" Qu Moying said, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
No matter what this matter is, the mansion is planning to involve her, and she will not fall into it without knowing anything.
"Madame Zhou, go ask the elders in the mansion, especially those who served Mrs. Yu in the past, to find out which family the young lady who is going to marry into the family is from and where she is now?"
Qu Moying looked at Nanny Zhou and gave instructions.
"Miss, I'll go right away!" Nanny Zhou nodded and left.
"Miss, do you want me to go out and ask around?" Yu Dong asked.
"Don't worry, we have to have a name before we can go out and ask, but...even the elders of the Qu family didn't know about this before, which shows that it is not necessarily possible to find out about it." Qu Moying raised his watery eyes slightly, his eyes were calm.
"Since... since you don't know, why let Madam Zhou go and find out?" Yu Dong was stunned for a moment, not understanding.
"Even if I don't know, I have to let people know that I'm asking about it.
"Qu Moying smiled slightly and said meaningfully...
"Your Highness, the King of England is here!" A eunuch hurried in to report.
Pei Luoan frowned and put the case file in his hand into the drawer. He looked very irritated. He calmed down the anger in his heart with all his strength, then showed a gentle smile, stood up and went out to greet them personally, "Please come in!"
The eunuch ran out to report.
After a while, Pei Luoan and Pei Yuanjun met in a corridor.
"Uncle Wang!" Pei Luoan bowed deeply.
Pei Yuanjun waved his hand casually, "Your Highness is too polite."
"Uncle Wang, what are you doing here?" Pei Luoan stood up and asked.
"It's nothing serious. It's just something happening on the border. I need to talk to the prince about it." Pei Yuanjun walked in with his hands behind his back.
"Something happened in the northern border again?" The prince was stunned.
"Nothing serious has happened. It just means war or surrender. After the emperor read the prince's memorial, he felt that he had to ask something. As I happened to be about to come out, the emperor asked me to come and ask the prince's opinion." Pei Yuanjun's handsome sleepy eyes drooped slightly, looking gentle and noble.
There is a hint of indifference.
"Does the emperor disagree with my memorial?" Pei Luoan felt a little uneasy and asked as he followed Pei Yuanjun.
"Although the Crown Prince's memorial and King Jing's memorial have the same general idea, King Jing's is more detailed. The Emperor's intention is that the Crown Prince could come up with more measures on certain aspects, rather than simply mentioning them and making a simple statement without any subsequent text to mark them."
Pei Yuanjun spoke slowly, found a road at random, walked forward slowly, and answered while enjoying the scenery.
"Wasn't my second brother taking the imperial examination before?" Pei Luoan's face changed.
"Prince Jing was indeed in charge of the imperial examinations before, but he has not forgotten about this matter. I watched him look up a lot of information and repeatedly elaborate on his memorials. The emperor was quite satisfied." Pei Yuanjun said leisurely, with the corners of his thin lips slightly curved, and it can be seen that he was in a good mood.
Pei Luoan's mood was not so good, and he was secretly resentful!
While supervising the imperial examination, he was also working overtime to prepare the memorials carefully, which made me seem like I had not prepared any detailed memorials at home. Was Pei Yusheng trying to step on me and let my father see his ability and sincerity
He is the prince, he is the prince!
Pei Yusheng, Pei Yuanjun, why did they step on his head one by one! The hatred in his heart surged up, almost unable to suppress it, his hands clenched tightly, and then slowly let go.
"Don't worry, Uncle Wang. I will submit another book. However, I may not be as detailed as my second brother on the border. The general who assists the country is on the border. What I have here... are all official documents. I have to check them carefully one by one to deduce something."
Pei Luoan lowered his head and sighed softly.
The daughter of the auxiliary general is going to marry Pei Yusheng. It seems that there are some information that Pei Yusheng can't get, but Pei Luoan can. In this respect, Pei Luoan is at a disadvantage.
Pei Yuanjun turned his head to look at him and stopped walking: "General Fuguo is the pillar of the country. The emperor is very satisfied with the general. For so many years, General Fuguo has guarded the border and worked hard. He has made great contributions, so..."
Pei Yuanjun hesitated for a moment, and Pei Luoan's heart moved heavily, with a bad feeling, and asked hurriedly: "So what..."
