"Yan'er, the Marquis of Ping'an's mansion came to the mansion today to propose a marriage!" Upon hearing Ning Xueyan's question, Madam Tai immediately interjected.
"Propose marriage? Is it the third sister or the fourth sister?" Ning Xueyan asked innocently, with a blank expression on her face.
Mrs. Tai was stunned when she asked this question, and she couldn't keep up with the words. Ning Xueyan also had the third girl and the fourth girl above her. It seemed that the marriage proposal had nothing to do with her.
"Fifth Miss, if it's Third Miss and Fourth Miss, Mrs. Tai won't be in such a difficult situation, but Marquis Ping'an is looking for you. Mrs. Tai thinks that you are too young, so she really can't bear it." Mother Qin took it immediately topic, said with a grin.
He only said that he wanted to keep her. As for Marquis Ping'an, who was old enough to be his grandfather, they actually asked him to be an old man's stepmother.
What's more, Hou Ping'an is a person who lingers in the flowers. These things should have been made clear to her, but she didn't mention them at all. She was completely deceived by a weak girl who didn't understand anything. This was her own grandmother. But he never had any blood relationship with her at all. The Huguohou Mansion never gave her the warmth of a home, only let her smell a decadent smell...
"Why did Marquis Ping'an marry me?" Finally unable to hold back, Ning Xueyan blinked her big eyes with a trace of puzzlement, and asked Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai couldn't continue with these words: "Maybe I heard that you have a good reputation!"
"Yan'er hasn't been out of Mingshuang Courtyard these past few years, and even the people in the Marquis Mansion don't know me. It's unexpected that people outside the mansion know my 'virtuous name'!" Ning Xueyan became more and more surprised. The deputy looked surprised.
Mrs. Tai's usually calm face turned red when she was asked!
Ning Xueyan has been in Mingshuangyuan all the time. People outside don't even know that there are five girls in this mansion. How can there be any good reputation? This is a noble family in the city. They only know that the Huguohou has four daughters. The daughter is a concubine, and the others are all descendants, and all of them are beautiful, and the three daughters are the most filial, talented and educated.
As for the fifth girl, Ning Xueyan, if it wasn't for this incident, even Mrs. Tai herself would have forgotten that there is still her in Mingshuang Courtyard!
"Perhaps Ping'an Houwen said that you fainted from crying in front of the Ming family's spirit. He knew you were a filial daughter, so he came to mention you on purpose." Mrs. Tai is also a person who has seen the world, and she will talk about it in a few words. When he came back, he explained with a cheeky expression.
"What about the mourning hall?" Ning Xueyan didn't ask any further, but repeated it.
"Yes, it must have been at that time. The old slave was still wondering how the Marquis of Ping'an would mention the fifth girl. He looked like he would not marry the fifth girl. It turned out that it was at that time that he fell in love with the fifth girl. The two marquises got married. After the fifth girl is married, she will be a decent Mrs. Hou."
Nanny Qin looked suddenly enlightened, clapped her hands vigorously, and said with a smile.
"Yan'er, although Marquis Ping'an is a bit older, fortunately he really likes you. When you get married, you will be the mistress of the family, a high-ranking Mrs. Hou, and you will never lose money in the future." Mrs. The madam also laughed and said that the words were round and smooth, as if Ning Xueyan married to enjoy the blessings.
Ning Xueyan lowered her eyes to hide the cold sarcasm in her eyes, she really had the nerve to say such a thing, marrying a fourteen-year-old girl to an old man in his seventies and eighties was for her own good, it was really deceiving.
But now she wants to tell her that the better she talks about Marquis Ping'an, the more infatuated she is, the more embarrassing it will be when things happen in a while! It became more and more difficult to justify herself, what was the origin of that jade pendant, and she was also very curious about it...
Listening to Madam Tai's description of the scene of marrying into Ping'an Hou's mansion, Ning Xueyan even deliberately showed a bit of shy joy on her face, and deliberately picked Ning Yuling with her eyes, with a look of pride on her face.
"Ping'an Houbi... Prince of Lijun..." When Ning Xueyan said this, Yubai's face flushed slightly. Although he didn't say anything, everyone in Taichang understood the meaning of the words perhaps.
There was a hint of displeasure in Mrs. Tai's eyes. Neither Marquis Ping'an nor Prince Lijun was the best candidate for her son-in-law. Ning Yuling originally decided to be the third prince. How much benefit can it bring to the Huguohou Mansion.
As for Ning Xueyan, Mrs. Tai's eyes fell on Ning Xueyan's face. Today's Ning Xueyan's makeup is not outstanding, especially those thick brows, which almost cover half of her white jade-like face, but Why doesn't Mrs. Tai know that the face left under the sea is the most beautiful among the girls in the house.
When the Ming family died, Ning Xueyan was thin and weak when she came out to see people, her face was pale and haggard, and her figure was almost that of a child who hadn't grown up. Pale, but everyone can see that Ning Xueyan will be a stunning beauty in the future.
If such a beauty can be sent to the rich and powerful's mansion, she will definitely be able to win people's hearts, but she has been targeted by Marquis Ping'an. No matter what Madam Tai thinks or cherishes, she is like a priceless treasure, but she can only be treated as a treasure. Needless to say, Mrs. Tai felt bored when selling counterfeit goods.
Mrs. Tai felt annoyed here, but she kept it in her heart, but some people were angry when they heard it!
Ning Yuling couldn't hold back for a long time. In Xiangfu Garden, she was always the center, but today she left her aside and only talked with Ning Xueyan, and she kept saying that Ning Xueyan married her. In the past, she was going to be Mrs. Hou, and Ning Xueyan glanced over from time to time, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that she was provoking herself.
At this moment, Ning Xueyan actually mentioned the Prince of Lijun again. He was clearly showing off to himself, and immediately rushed forward, forgetting that she was scolded by Mrs. Tai just now. She took a step forward, pointed at Ning Xueyan and cursed: "No! It's just a useless old man who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. What is there to praise? There are no men and women who are up and down in the Marquis of Pingan. Yes, or come together, it’s not certain.”
The things Ling said to her would be blurted out, only thinking about humiliating Ning Xueyan, never thinking about the consequences of saying these words.
The shyness on Ning Xueyan's face faded away, her face turned pale, and she looked frightened, trembling: "Second sister... this... isn't this the prince of Lijun?"
"You fart, at least the mansion of the Prince of Lijun is clean, unlike the mansion of Marquis Ping'an, I heard that his previous step-wife had an affair with several of his sons, marry him..." Looking at Ning Xueyan's face, Ning Yuling became more and more excited as she spoke, and felt that Ning Xueyan was going to be ashamed to death.
"You are presumptuous!" Mrs. Tai slapped her hand heavily on the table, her face was ashen, and she heard Ning Yuling's words getting more and more excessive, and she couldn't help but angrily said, "What are you talking about, why don't you apologize to your fifth sister?" !"
"Grandmother, this is true from the beginning. Mother said that after marrying into that mansion, no one will be clean. In this family, the clean ones will not survive, and the ones that survive will not be clean!" Ning Yuling said. She would have been so excited by the panic on Ning Xueyan's face that she forgot to talk to Mrs. Tai.
Pointing at Ning Xueyan, scolding vigorously, she has been feeling useless for a while, and just now she couldn't go to the outer courtyard to meet the third prince, and she felt that she was framed by Ning Xueyan, and she would see Ning Xueyan's face pale , even more relief.
"Come on, come on, pull her up to the Buddhist hall to be with her mother!" The dowager rapped on her crutch angrily.
"Grandmother, don't, don't drag Second Sister to the Buddhist hall. It's just a dispute between the sisters. It's not a big deal. Over there... I heard that it's extremely cold over there. How can Second Sister survive?" Ning Xueyan timidly persuaded from the side, looking extremely worried.
I didn't see that there were no tears in her black eyes under her long eyelashes, only a cold smile.
Now Ning Yuling is scolding herself, Mrs. Tai said that sisters are fighting each other, and the punishment will never be severe. Maybe Ling and Ning Yuling will bite back and charge herself with deliberately provoking trouble, so now Ning Xueyan You must first extract yourself from this matter, and the necessary persuasion is necessary.
The two maids who came over were about to pull Ning Yuling down, but Ning Yuling was not willing to rest, she jumped her feet angrily, her eyes were red: "Grandma, you are partial, and you are partial to this little bitch. Mother said that she will marry her later!" Going to the Marquis of Ping'an's Mansion is just a plaything, why should grandma be partial to her."
If she doesn't continue to scold, she will just be dragged down by the maid and brought to Ling Shi. Ling Shi is her biological mother, and she has always hurt her, so she won't do anything to her at all. But now, what she is facing directly is Mrs. Ling. Madam's majesty is challenging Madam Tai's prestige. She dare not listen to Madam Tai in front of a room full of servants.
Why is Mrs. Tai not angry, not to mention that Ning Yuling is so stupid that she still can't see the anger bursting out of Mrs. Tai's eyes. She pushed the two maids away, stared at Mrs. Tai with red eyes and stomped her feet and said, "Grandma, you are biased!" , you are biased, I will tell my mother to go!"
Ning Yuling has always been arrogant and doting, and she is loved by Ling Shi. She always walks sideways in the mansion. Both Mrs. Tai and Ling Shi are protecting her. Ling Shi will definitely stand by her side wholeheartedly to deal with Ning Xueyan.
These words undoubtedly ignited Mrs. Tai's anger. It turned out that in her mind, she was no better than the Ling family who came from a small family. How could Mrs. Tai, who always regarded herself as a nobleman, endure it? It made her half dead. Pushing away Mother Qin who came to support her, she glared at Ning Yuling angrily.
"Come here, take this disobedient and unfilial girl to the Buddhist hall. I want Mrs. Ling to explain clearly how she raised her daughter!"
This time she was so angry that she was half dead, and she directed all her anger on Ling Shi. Ning Yuling kept saying that it was Ling Shi who said that Marquis Ping'an's marriage was originally disliked by Mrs. Ling, if Ling Shi hadn't ordered it, And there is also the matter of the jade pendant, how could Mrs. Tai agree to this matter.
Before Ning Xueyan could be coaxed well, Ning Yuling jumped out to disrupt the situation again. Mrs. Tai's evil fire was all on Ling Shi, and she felt that it was Ling Shi who taught Ning Yuling to be such a lawless person. appearance.
Seeing that Mrs. Tai was really angry, two women will come over now, and they will hold Ning Yuling's arm when they come up, and it will be useless to let her dance, and someone will come and whisper a warning in Ning Yuling's ear, Ning Yuling Then her face turned red and she stopped, Ning Xueyan sneered in her heart, it seems that there is more than one minion of Ling's in this Xiangfu Garden!
It's a pity that they are all low-level servants, and they can't talk to Mrs. Tai at all, so they can only watch as Mrs. Tai puts on a cane and asks the servants to take Ning Yuling, and a group of people marches to Go to the Buddhist hall!
Ning Xueyan smiled slightly, and followed along with her maid!
