Chapter 1234 Matchmaking

Min's idea is very simple. If someone really falls in love with Xu Xiu, and his family background can satisfy Grandma Xu, then let the Xu family's wishes come true! Xu Xiu successfully married, and everyone's ears

It can all be peaceful.

However, things were not as smooth as she thought?

Second Mistress Xu muttered: "How can that be possible? It's just private discussions between the neighbors and the servants. There are a lot of gossips, but I have never seen the governor's son visiting the chief's house. However, the chief's house is now

She has not yet made her filial piety, and most people don't come to visit her. Mrs. Qi didn't say anything. She looked at the eldest brother's house with a half-hearted expression, but she didn't seem to be very warm to her, at least not as warm as the old days when our family was prosperous.

But looking at it, I don’t mean to stop contacting them because of the rumors. I’m not sure what Mrs. Qi is thinking. I think the governor’s son is just her sister’s son, and the marriage is not a big deal.

It's not her turn to intervene. What's more, how important is the status of the young master of the Governor's Mansion? For such a young and talented man, what kind of good marriage cannot be arranged, and he needs to make do with Sister Xiu?"

Min still frowned: "What is the surname of this governor-general? Since he is already in his early twenties, he must be married, right?"

Second Mistress Xu smiled and said: "The Qi family calls him Young Master Cousin. As for his surname... whether it is Lin or Ning, I can't hear clearly. There are rumors that he has actually married a wife before, but the relationship between the couple is shallow.

, the wife died in childbirth only a year after getting married, and she did not remarry later. Fortunately, the elder sister-in-law was also happy, because this was just filling in a house! She was not afraid of wronging Sister Xiu. However, if Sister Xiu could really get married,

There seems to be nothing wrong with going to the Governor's Mansion to fill a house..."

Mrs. Min couldn't stand Mrs. Xu's words. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then asked about Xu Rong's homework.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "He has been studying hard these days. He has also carefully read the notes sent by Brother Jian. He said he has benefited greatly! Yongjiahou is a famous teacher in Beijing and taught him

All the students have passed the Jinshi examination. Brother Jian’s notes were taken down when he listened to Yongjiahou’s explanation of the Four Books. They are a hundred times better than those taught by gentlemen outside! Brother Rong said that after reading the notes, many of the original

Everything I didn't understand suddenly became clear! Even the teacher we invited to teach Brother Rong at home said that the notes were extremely precious and that Brother Rong was really lucky to have them!"

Min smiled lightly and said: "Brother Jian got this by having someone copy his previous lecture notes. Since it can benefit Brother Rong, it is also a good thing. I only hope that he will take part in the childbirth examination next year, and he will be able to take a breath."

He was awarded the title of Scholar. Now that he is older, he has no title and cannot stand up straight when walking outside."

Second Mistress Xu hurriedly said: "My parents are right! We used to indulge our children too much, thinking that with Brother Zheng supporting us, Brother Rong wouldn't have to work so hard. But if your father has your mother, it's better to have it yourself."

No matter how successful I am, how can I compare with the glory I have earned? It’s us who delayed our children! Now that I know how to make progress and am willing to work hard, it’s all thanks to my in-laws.”

Mrs. Min twitched her lips: "I dare not take credit, this is our wife's credit." If Mrs. Xu hadn't threatened Xu Rong with the Qin family's daughter's marriage contract, how would he have bothered to study hard?

Second Mistress Xu laughed awkwardly.

The people in the second room of the Xu family just kept going to the Chengenhou Mansion every three to five days. They kept showing to outsiders that their friendly relationship with the Qin family was not affected by various rumors, and they seemed to want to prove it by doing things.

The only one who is unreliable is Xu's eldest brother's house. But in fact, the second house of the Xu family does not always see the truth about Xu's family, but it is not known to outsiders. The entire Cheng'enhou Mansion also deliberately allows the outside world to

Misunderstanding. Anyway, they don't want Mrs. Xu to get too close to the second wife of the Xu family. The former only needs to be recuperated, and her children and grandchildren will have to worry about the affairs of the Xu family.

Mrs. Xu is not very concerned about how frequently the second wife of the Xu family comes. Now she hopes to see her eldest nephew and daughter-in-law again, and tells them not to act rashly and ruin the good reputation of the Xu family. However, Xu

No one came to the parents' room. She asked people to send messages or sent people to invite people, but there was no reply. This made her wonder. She was obviously so angry that she vomited blood.

He was so angry that he ignored her? Didn't Grandma Xu also say that she wanted to take back the two clothes that Xu Xiu made by herself?

She had some doubts that she was isolated from the outside world by her family. Those invitations or summons were not sent to the people in Xu's eldest room at all? She had to ask Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu to try to send another letter to the eldest room, but they

Also no response.

Second Mistress Xu also said: "My uncle and my sister-in-law are busy clarifying the matter of Sister Xiu. They seem to have taken a fancy to a good family, or some kind of Governor's Mansion! How can they have time to see my aunt now?"

?Look, don’t mention the Lu family. There are high-ranking officials in front of you. How can your sister-in-law be willing to marry her daughter off to a third-rank official? If you are talking about Sister Lan, I am afraid she will be happy.

"

Even Mrs. Xu found these words unreasonable: "How is that possible? Sister Lan is a concubine. No matter how unworthy Chu Liang is, she is still the legitimate son of a high-ranking official." She was more concerned about Mrs. Xu's talk about the marriage in the Governor's Mansion, "What the hell is that?

What's going on?" Mistress Xu couldn't give any more details: "My sister-in-law now treats our second wife as enemies, so how can she pay attention to us? We only found out about this news by listening to the comments from the neighbor's servants.

Of."

Mrs. Xu was dubious about her. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the second wife of the Xu family had a history of lying before. Mrs. Xu suspected that they had colluded with her children and grandchildren and participated in blocking information about her. Although she was worried, she

Now she was seriously ill and unwell. She couldn't even leave the house, and she often felt weak. She had no choice but to suppress her eagerness and asked Mrs. Xu to help keep an eye on Xu Xiu's new marriage, especially to find out who it was.

Which son of the governor's family really wanted to propose marriage to Xu Xiu?

If she could really marry Xu Xiu into the Governor's Mansion, she wouldn't have to involve the Lu family. If necessary, her sons could also support Xu's family and discuss the marriage with the Governor's Mansion. Xu Xiu married

Well, the rift between her and Qin Youzhen's mother and son will no longer exist, right?

Mrs. Xu was recuperating with good wishes. Even Qin Youzhen, Lu Chuming, and Lu Chuliang mother and son appeared less often, so she didn't take it to heart. She thought this was quite reasonable, because Qin Youzhen reported it to her privately two days ago.

The good news is that Lu Yueniang, the niece and granddaughter who married into the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, has been diagnosed as pregnant, but the month is still early, less than two months, so she is afraid that the fetus is not stable. Lu Yueniang is now busy with the pregnancy.

, Qin Youzhen was worried about her daughter, and when the Xu family's situation stabilized, she moved directly into the Yunyang Marquis Mansion and took care of Lu Yueniang with Mrs. Yunyang Marquis. As for the brothers Lu Chuming and Lu Chuliang, they naturally stayed at home to study. However, the former stayed at home the next day.

He was going to seek advice from his future father-in-law, and Lu Chuliang was left alone. In the past, he would definitely have gone to Chengenhou's mansion to find some cousins ​​to play with, but now, he rarely appears in front of Xu.

.

Mrs. Xu felt that it was reasonable for the Lu family to show up less, so she concentrated on recuperating and did not ask any more questions. Instead, she repeatedly sent people to Lu Yueniang to deliver supplements that were beneficial to pregnant women. This was not only to make friends with the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, but also to repair the problem.

Relationship with the Lu family.

Therefore, she did not know that Xu Xiu, her great-nephew from her natal family, was holding back her shame and wandering around in her garden pretending to pick flowers. She met her standing in the garden of Qi's family next door, frowning and looking at her through the hollow flower window.

Her Lu Chuliang.

Xu Xiu seemed to be greatly frightened at that time, her face changed, she took several steps back, and then she regained her footing. Her girl who was with her almost screamed.

Lu Chuliang frowned and glanced at the latter: "What's your name? Are you afraid that others won't know what you are doing in the garden?"

The girl covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound, and turned back to look at Xu Xiu in panic. Xu Xiu took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and forced out a smile: "It turns out to be cousin Lu. Why are you here?"

"Brother Qi and I are good friends." Lu Chuliang said calmly, "I have something to say to Sister Xu, so I asked him to do this for me."

Xu Xiu blushed. Lu Chuliang actually knew the Qi family, so the matter about the two pieces of clothing...

As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Lu Chuliang had already thrown a small baggage over from another part of the wall: "This is your thing, take it and burn it yourself. Don't let your needlework go to you anymore."

Lost."

The girl quickly picked up the bundle, opened it and saw that it was indeed her girl's needlework.

Xu Xiu blushed and immediately ordered the girl to take down the things. After regaining her composure, she saluted and thanked Lu Chuliang: "Thank you so much, Cousin Lu. I didn't know when my aunt spoke..."

"We don't have much time, so there is no need to talk about gossip." Lu Chuliang interrupted her, "Let me tell you the truth. Brother Qi told me that the cousin currently living in his house is indeed the son of the governor, but he is a concubine.

, so the governor's wife didn't bother to rent another house for him in Beijing, and just asked him to live in the Qi family. He was indeed going to have a second marriage. His first wife died in childbirth, leaving behind a young daughter. But after his second marriage, he probably

The family is about to separate. The Qi family is happy to see the young cousin marry the Xu family, and it will save him a good wife, but is Sister Xu really willing to accept this marriage? "

Xu Xiu's face suddenly turned pale. The stepmother of a concubine? She is still a ready-made stepmother, and the family is about to be separated. Even the son of the Governor's Palace cannot consider it!

She said with a trembling voice: "Thank you, Cousin Lu, for reminding me, but... why are you telling me this?"

Lu Chuliang said lightly: "I'm telling you, naturally it's because I have another good marriage to introduce to you. But don't worry, it's not my little brother."

Xu Xiu was stunned for a moment: "What?" Lu Chuliang is... here to act as a matchmaker for her?
