Yu Siyu struggled for eight days to decide on a candidate, but he was the nephew and grandson of the elder sister-in-law's brother. Although the relatives were a little far away, they usually had many contacts.
This man is twenty years old and has just been crowned. He has participated in the imperial examination twice before, but failed in both exams. However, he looks very handsome and handsome. In addition, his father is a priest of Guozijian. Although he has no real power, he is very noble.
This person was the least talented among all the people, if he hadn't been close to the old lady and he was from a scholarly family, the old lady would not have listed him as an object of consideration. However, Yu Siyu chose him because although he has no talent, he is the most handsome and has the most prominent family background among them. After all, her snobbish eyes failed to break through the confusion, and she planned to go all the way to the dark.
The old lady took a deep look at her, finally took the brochure and sighed deeply, "Well, since I have fallen in love with him, I will send someone to come to discuss marriage."
Yu Xiang leaned beside the old lady, turning the pages and said, "This is not good. There were a lot of concubines in Jiaguan Mansion just now. With Yu Siyu's elm head, why not be tortured to death? This is good, even though he is old. He came from a poor family, but he didn’t have a concubine in his family, not even a concubine in the connecting room. In four years, he climbed from the master of the Taipu Temple to the position of the judge in the capital, all because of his own ability, so he is reliable.”
"Six-rank general judgment? If my sister is interested, why don't you marry her?" Yu Siyu sneered.
Yu Xiang glanced at her, not unreasonable at all, but the old lady got angry, and said, "Enough, don't take Xiang'er's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs! If this person is not a relative of my sister-in-law, he even invited the Iceman I wouldn't even think about coming to propose marriage. Well, since you like it, I won't stop you, just marry and feel wronged. Don't speak to me. Go back and get married."
Once the dowry had to be paid by the old lady, Yu Siyu didn't dare to say goodbye, so he left angrily.
The old lady immediately asked someone to discuss the marriage, and in the afternoon they exchanged invitations, and the next day they both went to someone to check and signed the marriage certificate after they thought it was suitable. In just one and a half days, Yu Siyu's marriage was settled like this.
After all, Yu Siyu was unwilling and locked herself in the house without eating or drinking. After hearing the news, Yu Miaoqi personally made a box of pastries and came to visit her.
"Eat some at least. If you break your body, who else will feel sorry for you besides yourself?" Yu Miaoqi twirled a piece of cloud cake and gave it to Yu Siyu's lips.
Yu Siyu finally took a bite, and sighed with tears in her eyes, "My sister is the only one who treats me best in this family. Why doesn't my sister come back sooner, so we sisters can get together longer."
"What's the point of returning early and returning late? Anyway, I'm redundant." Yu Miaoqi's short sentence caused Yu Siyu to cry, and hated Yu Xiang and the old lady even more for a while.
Yu Miaoqi immediately said, "Although I just came back, I don't know much about the affairs in the mansion, but I also know that with my brother's power, you can marry in the uncle's mansion, the marquis' mansion, or even the mansion's mansion anyway, but why did my grandmother find you a wife?" It's shameful to touch those candidates? Could it be that if Yu Xiang can't get married, you won't be allowed to marry too well, for fear of poking her lungs? Do elder brother and grandmother treat you as a relative? Same?"
She tried her best to provoke her, thinking that even if Yu Siyu were to marry, she would have to hate Yu Xiang, Yu Pinyan, and the old lady to the core. There is no telling where she will be useful in the future.
Yu Siyu was really angry when she heard this, and felt that the two of them were suffering from the same disease, so she cried bitterly while hugging Yu Miaoqi.
At this moment, Mrs. Qiu rushed into the house with her skirt in her arms, and without paying attention to salute, she opened her mouth and shouted, "Miss is not well, Fang Zhichen made a fuss outside, saying that he was exchanging tokens with you early. I have decided for life, and I want to sue our Hou Mansion for not keeping its promise, and one daughter married twice! The old lady told you to go to the main hall to meet her, you should pack up quickly!"
"What? Exchange tokens, private life, one daughter married twice? Nonsense, there is no such thing!" Yu Siyu suddenly stood up and screamed, because she was so frightened that her voice changed. However, the next moment, thinking of the private meeting at night when she confided her heart, all her angry expression turned into a guilty conscience.
Even if the thing about exchanging tokens was false, the one of lifelong private appointment could not be wrong. She did have such thoughts at the time, and Yu Xiang caught her right. Even with a hundred mouths right now, I might not be able to tell clearly!
She was suddenly on the verge of falling, terrified beyond words, with Yu Miaoqi's support, she barely stabilized her figure, and staggered towards the main courtyard. Yu Miaoqi lowered her head slightly, and the corners of her lips curled into a sly smile.
At the same time, the Fang family's mother and son were making a fuss at the gate of the house. Mrs. Pei kept saying that she had made an engagement with the Hou's mansion, and she was only waiting to propose marriage in the future. Fang Zhichen even took out a pink apron with Yu Siyu's boudoir name embroidered on it, and showed it to everyone, saying that it was the engagement that Yu Siyu handed over to him. As a token of love, I ordered him to keep it close to him.
The crowd of onlookers suddenly went into a commotion, and countless eclectic scenes were sketched in their minds, amazed at how unrestrained this young lady of the Hou Mansion is.
The guards outside the mansion wanted to catch the two of them, but they hurriedly ran into the crowd, shouting as they ran, "Who doesn't know that Yonglehou is the living king of Hades, who kills people without blinking an eye! How could my mother and son be caught by you?" Are you destined to come out alive? Don’t go, resolutely don’t go! If your Marquis Mansion is sincere, come to my house to propose marriage and make an agreement on this marriage, otherwise my mother and son will go to beat the Dengwen drum someday and sue your Marquis Mansion. The second marriage of a daughter destroys personal morality! We temporarily live in the small courtyard opposite the Fuji Cake in Baihuajing Lane, and all the villagers can bear witness to us.
The two ran and yelled all the way, causing everyone to point and make irresponsible remarks to Hou Fu. Seeing this, the two guards had no choice but to rest their thoughts of arresting people, and went back to report to the old lady.
As soon as Yu Siyu stepped over the threshold with half a foot, the old lady yelled, "Don't kneel down for me, shameless thing!"
Yu Siyu knelt down as soon as his feet softened, and then walked forward on his knees, kowtowed and distinguished, "Old ancestor, I really didn't exchange tokens with him, you must believe me!"
"Without exchanging tokens, how can I have a private appointment for life?" The old lady's face was livid, "How many times have I told you, why didn't you listen to my persuasion? If you are willing to listen to me, how can you end up like this today? You This idiot! You've completely embarrassed my Yongle Hou Mansion!" After saying that, he slammed the teacup on the ground, causing a loud bang.
Yu Miaoqi quickly backed away a few steps and hid behind Mrs. Lin, hanging her head as if she was very scared.
Yu Siyu was shaking like a sieve, and shouted, "Old ancestor, it is the granddaughter who has lost her mind. The granddaughter knows her mistake. You must not marry the granddaughter, otherwise..."
Before finishing speaking, an old lady ran in quickly and whispered something in the old lady's ear. The old lady's ashen complexion gradually became distorted and ferocious. Shameless beast, you can even give away your personal belongings like a bellyband! You don’t know, just now Fang Zhichen showed your bellyband to all the young and old in the street, and you will become famous within half a day ! Are you happy now?"
After hearing this, Yu Siyu felt that all the blood in her body rushed to her scalp, almost bursting her not so clear head, she immediately jumped up and shouted, "What bellyband? Why did my granddaughter give him a bellyband? Ancestor, he framed me! I only met him once in private, spoke a few words, and never gave him anything at all!"
She suddenly thought of something, and with a relieved expression, she stepped forward and hugged the old lady's legs and said hastily, "Yu Xiang was there that night, and Yu Xiang knows exactly what happened to Fang Zhichen and me. Ancestor, call Yu Xiang Just ask and you’ll know, let someone call you!”
She did prepare a token to give to Fang Zhichen that night, but it was a high-quality jade pendant, not a bellyband. If Yu Xiang hadn't appeared in time, she would have sent her out a long time ago. Now that I think about it, it's really a blessing in misfortune. Only one point, Yu Xiang has to tell the truth!
Thinking of this, Yu Siyu raised the big stone in his heart that had just been put down, regretting why he always went against Yu Xiang. If she hated herself, she could knock herself into the abyss with just a few casual words today.
The old lady kicked her away and snorted coldly, "What did you ask Xiang'er for? Dirty her ears? Do you think that there are not enough people who know about your scandal?!"
Yu Siyu fell to the ground, feeling ashamed for a moment, but unexpectedly there was the sound of a wheelchair turning outside the door, and then a clear voice rang out, "Xiang'er came here uninvited, please forgive me."
Pushed to the old lady by two strong women, she did not mix any personal statement, "Since my sister asked me to be a witness, I will be a witness. My sister only said a few words to Fang Zhichen that night, No tokens were exchanged. As for private life, it was interesting, but it happened to be interrupted by me, so it was not finalized. Fang Zhichen's move was to destroy my sister's reputation to get closer to our Marquis's mansion. What he did is disgraceful .Old ancestor, you must never marry your sister to such a person."
Yu Siyu was dumbfounded, no matter what, she never thought that Yu Xiang could speak for herself.
Yu Miaoqi pinched Lin Shi, Lin Shi just woke up like a dream, and said slowly, "But now things have become serious, if we don't marry Siyu, how will it end? Could it be that the mother and son were really killed? Man The people in Beijing are all staring at our Hou's mansion. If something happens to the two of them, won't Yan'er be attacked by the officials? Not only can we not move them now, but we have to keep them and get them in the shortest possible time. The matter is settled. As for whether Si Yu is innocent, it is really meaningless to argue about it now."
What Lin said made sense, the old lady showed a pensive look, Yu Xiang stopped talking, and only the sound of Yu Siyu's increasingly rapid breathing remained in the hall.
She stepped forward on her knees, struggling desperately, "No, old ancestor, you can't marry your granddaughter to him! Don't forget, your granddaughter has just been engaged, and she also has a husband's family. You brought your relatives, how do you explain to them?"
Just talking about this, Wan Qiu came in with a pamphlet, and stammered back, "Old lady, the Li family has returned the marriage letter and the geng post of the young lady, saying yes, saying that such a daughter-in-law, their family would not dare Yes, for fear of staining the lintel."
Yu Siyu felt as if struck by lightning, completely speechless, like a dying river fish trapped in a tidal flat, desperately puffing his chest, trying to find a chance to survive in the air.
There was a series of chuckles suddenly, but it was Yu Xiang's merciless ridicule that cut her into pieces, regretting the beginning, "Look at what kind of eyes sister has, the first one is mean and shameless, and the second one Breaking promises and making trouble. I told you not to be squinted by the riches and honors in front of you. Why didn’t you listen? My sister did what she did today. Poor, sad, but also hateful... "
