After the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Taining Hou invited Mrs. Zhou again. Go out with the Han family, saying that they are going to invite an official matchmaker to come and propose a marriage. Large families act very rigorously, and only when they get a definite answer will they come to propose marriage. Otherwise, if the matchmaker comes to the door and the opponent refuses, the face will not look good.
This time, Mrs. Zhou's family went to Han's house and went directly to the upper court, and told Mrs. Han about it. Madam Zhou said, "Auntie, this marriage is really hard to find with a lantern." Madam Zhou's daughter, Zhou Shihua, is already married. If she has a daughter, she must be heart-warming.
Mrs. Han nodded very simply to agree, without having to bother with Mrs. Zhou's words. Not to mention that Chen Ran is very good. As far as the Chen family is concerned, Yuxi won't lose even after marrying.
Mrs. Zhou's family thought it would take a lot of words, but she didn't expect the old lady to be so refreshed: "Yuxi, this child is really blessed." Chen Ran didn't know how many people fell in love with, but in the end the marriage fell apart. On Yuxi's head, it's not what blessing is.
As soon as Mrs. Zhou's family left, Mrs. Han instructed Luo Po: "You will call Yuxi over." If it was before, the old lady must have let Yuxi be notified and it would be over. But now the situation is different, and she has agreed to the Qiu clan again, so she still has to talk to Yuxi personally.
When Yuxi saw Mother Luo, she knew something was going on when the old lady called her, and it was not too small. Because it was okay, the old lady would not call her, let alone let Mother Luo come over in person.
Without hesitation, Yuxi immediately followed Luo's mother to the upper courtyard. On the way, he pretended to be casual and asked: "Mom, why is grandma looking for me?"
Mother Luo smiled and said, "The girl will find out when she arrives in the upper courtyard. It's a good thing." If the old lady looked a little serious at the time, she felt wrong, she would definitely tell Yuxi about the happy event now.
Yuxi shook his heart, good thing, what good things can she do now except for the marriage? Thinking of marriage, Yuxi asked, "Mother Luo, is my cousin here?"
Mother Luo smiled, did not nod or deny. The four girls are not what they used to be, and if they got such a good marriage, they really turned over completely.
Yuxi knew it all at once.
When the old lady saw Yuxi, she didn't play any dumb riddles, and directly said Mrs. Zhou's intention to come: "I heard your mother say that you are not satisfied with the Chen family's marriage?"
Yuxi was prepared, and the answer was naturally dripping: "Grandma, Taining Hou Mansion is more powerful than our Guogu Mansion, and Chen Ran is Xie Yuan. Whether it is from his family or Chen Ran, it is hard to pick out. It's not easy to come out. I heard that even Mrs. Yu wants to marry her daughter! The old lady didn't look moving, and asked: "If you have anything to say, you don't need to be ambiguous. "This girl is so transparent, maybe she really tells the difference.
Yuxi said: "Grandma, I feel strange because this relationship is so good. Grandma, how can people like Taining Hou's mansion look at me? It's not that I am ignorant of myself, but I really don't deserve Chen Ran on my terms. . Apart from other things, Madam Taining Hou would not be able to see me just because I had such a bad reputation." After a pause, Yuxi said to the old lady: "Grandma, if you change to you, you will Marry your own son a daughter-in-law who has a bad life?"
The old lady narrowed her eyes and said, "Do you think the Chen family wants to marry you because of another plan? But what do they want to do with you? What can you do for them to calculate?" . Not to mention that Yuxi didn't let the Chen family figure it out, even if the Han family didn't have anything to make the Chen family plot.
Yuxi had to say that Jiang was still old and hot, and she had nothing to say. Fortunately, she was also prepared and said, "Grandma, I don't know what they are doing, but I think the Chen family is not as good as outside. The rumors are as good. At least as far as I know, there are many crises in the Chen family." The next heir, following a treason prince, will not be in crises!
The light in the eyes of the old lady flashed by: "What crisis?"
Yuxi briefly said about the possible treason of the Nine Princes, and then said: "The Chen family pressed the treasure on the Nine Princes. Once the treason of the Nine Princes is exposed, the Chen family will suffer severe damage even if it is not annihilated. "
The old lady shook her hand holding the Buddha beads twice, but the action was very vague, and Yuxi did not see: "Your elder brother told you this?"
Yuxi nodded and said, "My eldest brother told me. Before, I asked my eldest brother to check my sister Xinrong's affairs, but I accidentally heard these words."
The old lady's sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through people. Jianming was such a cautious person, no one knew better than her. How could it be possible for Yuxi to hear such an important matter accidentally. The old lady didn't need to ask, she knew that Han Jianming had deliberately let Yuxi know about this. As for why Han Jianming did this, the old lady didn't know, and Han Jianming didn't say she didn't ask.
Yuxi's scalp numb by the old lady's stare, but still stiffened without showing a hint of timidity.
After a while, the old lady turned the Buddha beads in her hand again, and said, "If you don’t agree to the marriage of the Chen family because of this, you don’t have to. Even if the work done by the Ninth Prince is really revealed, the Chen family Nothing will happen."
Yuxi looked puzzled, and asked, "Does the Chen family have such great power?" If that incident broke out, the Chen family could escape, what a deep background!
The old lady said slowly: "Taining Hou Shizi assisted the Nine Princes, it was the emperor's meaning, not for the merits of the dragon. The Ninth Prince did this more than ten years ago, when Taining Hou Shizi He didn't follow him, even if this incident broke out, the Chen family would be able to get away." But when this incident really broke out, Taining Hou Shizi would definitely want to fold in.
It's better for the old lady to break out. Once the treason broke out, the nine princes would have no relationship with the big one, and the Song family would definitely support the ten princes. When the ten princes are in power, Yuchen will be the next queen. When Taining Hou Shizi folds in, Chen Ran will become the eldest son of Taining Hou Mansion, and Yuxi will become the future mistress of Taining Hou Mansion. At that time, the Han family will definitely be able to take the opportunity to rise and return to the top, no longer need to look at people's faces.
Yuxi understood the words: "What grandmother meant, this marriage cannot be refused?" In other words, the old lady would not allow her to refuse marriage at all.
The old lady said: "I told you that even if you live in Dafang, you are also a girl from the Han family." The girl who has spent manpower, material and financial resources to raise her up is used to marry and bring benefits to the family. Otherwise, she wouldn't have worked so hard on that day.
Yuxi understood what the old lady meant. This marriage would bring benefits to the family, so even if she was unwilling, there was no room for rejection: "I see." The old lady's decision is not something she can change. Therefore, Yuxi didn't waste this spirit. However, she can't make sense, doesn't mean that elder brother can't make sense.
Han Jianming actually didn't understand why Yuxi resisted the marriage in this way: "Yuxi, if you can give me a reasonable reason, I can help you convince grandmother."
What reason does Yuxi have? She feels something is wrong, but she can't tell what's wrong: "Big Brother, I think the Chen family has bad intentions."
Han Jianming laughed: "Then tell me, why is the Chen family ill-intentioned?" Han Jianming thinks differently from the old lady. The Chen family is good, but it is not the Chen family. Let Yuxi marry a young general with military power, and the family may benefit more. As for whether Yuxi will have a bad time marrying such a person, Han Jianming is not worried at all. With Yuxi's intelligence, as long as she has the heart, it is impossible for her to have a bad life.
Yuxi turned his mind, and said, "Chen Ran, he is not as good as he said outside. I think he might have a problem with his brain?"
Han Jianming said amused: "Yuxi, it's okay if you don't like Chen Ran and don't want to have this marriage, but you can't make it up!" The person who can pass the test of Xieyuan, you say that he has a brain problem, if you spread it out I don’t know how many people were attacked!
Yuxi didn't make up her mind, she told Chen Ran four times. Yuxi said: "If he really fell in love with me, he wouldn't be able to ignore me the first two times. The third time he struck up inexplicably, the fourth time was even more ridiculous, and he even said he wanted to speak to me alone. Brother, doesn't he know Are men and women giving or receiving marriage?"
After hearing a lot of Yuxi’s babble, Han Jianming finally understood: "Yuxi, it’s not that the Chen family has motives for you, but you don’t have confidence in yourself. Do you think the Chen family is high-ranking, Chen Ran is too good, are you worthy? Come on." Because I didn't feel good enough, I felt that the Chen family suddenly came to propose a marriage and would have no plans.
Han Jianming came to the conclusion that Yuxi disagrees with this marriage because of inferiority: "Yuxi, although the Han family’s influence in the court is not as great as the Chen family’s, the two families can be regarded as good friends. Chen Ran is not the eldest son, you He is also very good in every aspect and Chen Ran is more than enough, why do you feel inferior?"
Yuxi froze for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Big Brother, I don't have one." She was not inferior, nor did she feel that she was not worthy of Chen Ran, it was because the Jiang family gave her too deep a shadow. And Chen Ran and Jiang Hongjin are too similar in some respects. They are both from a good family and are excellent in themselves. The most important thing is that Chen Ran somehow fell in love with her, and then came to propose marriage. Such a situation made her feel uneasy. She was afraid to escape from the Jiang family's wolf den and into the Chen family's den.
Han Jianming watched Yuxi sink into grief. He didn't know what was wrong, and he felt a little uncomfortable: "Yuxi, if the Chen family marries you, it really has nothing to do. Brother will definitely refuse. But in fact, That's not the case. Yuxi, brother, you can't miss such a good marriage because of your momentary low self-esteem."
Yuxi was silent for a while and asked, "Brother, are you really sure that this is a good marriage, not a fire pit?"
Han Jianming was funny and angry: "If it's a fire pit, can Big Brother push you in? Or, in your mind, Big Brother is a cold-blooded and ruthless person."
Yuxi shook his head quickly: "No, of course not." Although the eldest brother is a bit more aggressive at times, he is a very important lover.
Han Jianming stopped talking, and looked at Yuxi with a smile.
At this time, Yuxi could only admit: "Big Brother, I'm just afraid." She was scared, afraid of falling into a situation where she was incapable of being ineffective in her previous life.
Han Jianming said, "I think you are quite capable on weekdays, but you lose your chain every time it is critical. What are you afraid of? The Chen family is not a wolf's den, they can still eat you?"
Yuxi was so disciplined that he didn't dare to look up.
