After listening to Mrs. Zhu Si's explanation of the family situation, Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Sun, who was obviously a little moved, and understood in her heart that her second brother and sister were interested in someone else's dowry.

Thousands of books, calligraphy and paintings, not to mention, even she was a little moved.

What does the Yan family lack?

What a heritage!

Some good collections of books, calligraphy and paintings are simply not available outside and require family members to save them from generation to generation.

After pondering for a while, Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu with a smile: "Ningmen Mansion is not a short distance from Xingzhou. You two have come a long way, so why not stay at home for a few more days? You just happen to be in Ningmen Mansion by the way.

Take a walk."

Madam Zhu Si was naturally very willing, and she quickly smiled and said: "I have long heard that the scenery of Ningmen Mansion is getting better, but I didn't get a good look when I came here during the Dragon Boat Festival. Now I have a chance, but I don't know if it will happen."

Are you bothering the old lady and madam?"

Mrs. Yan felt that Mrs. Zhu Si was very good at talking, and said with a smile: "Fourth Madam, you are too polite. You can come, but it is too late for us to be happy. Where are you nagging us?"

So, Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Zhu Fourth, and Zhu Qiyun stayed.

After that, Ms. Sun kept looking at Zhu Qiyun, and when she saw that the girl was following her orders, speaking and behaving well, she couldn't help but nodded secretly.

After dinner, Daohua accompanied Mrs. Li back to the main courtyard.

Looking at the gift left by Mrs. Zhu Si, Mrs. Li pondered for a moment and frowned: "Although the Zhu family has declined in recent years, it is still a Zhongzhou aristocratic family. Even if Mr. Zhu Si passed away, Mrs. Zhu Si has family members to help her.

Even if you want to get married with our family, there is no need to stoop down like this. Could it be that Miss Zhu has some unknown hidden disease?"

Daohua glanced at Mrs. Li: "There should be no hidden diseases, but she has withdrawn from the engagement."

"What?!" Mrs. Li looked over in surprise, "How do you know?"

Daohua told everything she saw and heard in Taoyuan Town.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li also sighed slightly: "Hey, Miss Zhu is also a poor person, and she encountered such a bad thing."

Daohua nodded in agreement.

Then, Mrs. Li added: "If your second aunt knew that Miss Zhu had been rejected, I'm afraid she would not agree to this marriage."

Daohua: "...But if Miss Zhu had not been divorced, she might not have chosen the second brother. Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and one person cannot take all the advantages."<

/p>

"Just like my future sister-in-law, her family background is good, but the Han family places too much emphasis on the exchange of interests. My eldest brother will definitely have to put some thought into dealing with them in the future."

"There are also fourth brother and Sister Su. Sister Su agrees to marry, and fourth brother also has to stay away from concubines for the rest of his life."

Mrs. Li looked at Daohua with surprise: "You seem to like that girl Zhu?"

Daohua: "It doesn't matter if I like her or not, I just feel from the limited few contacts that she is a person who is calm in times of crisis and can calm down the situation. Such a person is suitable for the second brother. After all, the second brother will support the second brother in the future."

, he needs a wife who can help him."

Mrs. Li nodded: "You are right. The reason why your father and I are so concerned about Wenjie's marriage is because we have considered the future. Let's not talk about this room. The third room is supported by Wen Tao. I

You and your father can rest assured, just this second room..."

"Your second uncle and second aunt are smart, but they don't have great wisdom and vision. If the second wife has a bad life in the future, we won't feel good about it."

Daohua: "Mom can talk to father. Zhu Jiaoyu has done things under his father. Father should know more about the Zhu family and see what he thinks."

Mrs. Li nodded: "When your father comes back later, I will discuss it with him."

Daohua sat for a while, waited for Yan Zhigao to come back, said goodbye and left.

Mrs. Li told Yan Zhigao the purpose of Mrs. Zhu Si's visit, and then showed him the gift sent by Mrs. Zhu Si.

Yan Zhigao saw the three orphan copies sent to him at a glance and sighed: "Aristocratic family is a noble family. I have been an official for so many years and I have never gotten one."

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but this gift is too expensive. Do you want me to accept it or not?"

Yan Zhigao fell silent and looked through the gifts given to other members of the Yan family: "This Mrs. Zhu Si is quite a caring person."

Mrs. Li agreed with her face: "Yes, the gifts are almost all based on everyone's preferences, and they are very sincere."

Yan Zhigao: "They say daughters are like mothers, so can Miss Zhu follow Madam Zhu Si?"

Mrs. Li: "That girl is really nice. My mother saw her today and praised her several times."

Yan Zhigao was silent: "In this case, let's send gifts to each room."

Mrs. Li was a little hesitant: "But what if my siblings know that Miss Zhu has been divorced and don't agree? Aren't we receiving gifts in vain?"

Yan Zhigao smiled: "It's not like you don't know the temperaments of the second couple. If you don't give them some sweetness first, they won't even think about it. Now considering the dowry, they will probably hesitate for a while.

Points."

"I will send someone to inquire about the fourth room of the Zhu family after I go to the Yamen tomorrow. If it is really suitable for marriage, I can persuade the second child. If it still fails in the end, it will not be too late to return the gift."

Mrs. Li nodded: "The master is thoughtful, I will send gifts to each room now."

Yan's guest house.

Zhu Qiyun looked at Mrs. Zhu Si with some anxiety: "Mom, are we really not going to take the initiative to tell me that I was rejected?"

Mrs. Zhu Si: "Didn't you say that the eldest daughter of the Yan family was there on the day you got married? Since she knows it, the Yan family also knows it. We don't need to say anything more."

"Okay, it's getting late. Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow. You can't lose energy these two days."

Although Zhu Qiyun was still a little worried, since her mother said so, she nodded and turned back to her room.

......

Yan Wenjie looked very surprised when he saw the gift from Pingtong. He was not as good as his elder brother in terms of knowledge, but his horizons had grown a lot over the years, and he could tell at a glance that the box contained an extremely rare and unique copy.

Yan Wenjie ordered the boy: "Go and find out why Mrs. Zhu who came today gave such an expensive gift?" And it was given to him!

You know, in the past, when guests came to the house, although there were gifts in each room, the best ones were definitely given to the children in the eldest room, and the second-tier ones were given to them.

Soon, the boy came back and said with a smile: "Second Master, I have heard that the two ladies who came today seem to want to tell you about the girls at home. There are only three such books, one for you.

I gave one to the eldest uncle, and the last one to you, and the rest of the family also got nice gifts."

Yan Wenjie was stunned for a while before saying, "They want to tell me about that girl?"

The boy smiled and said, "That's the one who came with me. I asked Daidai who was waiting in the guest house, and Daidai said that Miss Zhu is very good-looking and has a good temper."

Yan Wenjie suddenly remembered Zhu Qiyun's voice and appearance. He was stunned for a while and then said to the boy: "Why don't you go to my parents' yard and see what their attitude is?"

The boy quickly said: "Okay, I'll go right away."

As soon as the person left, Yan Wenjie fell silent again.

After the eldest brother got engaged, my mother was busy with his marriage affairs.

He knew that the eldest brother and fourth brother were married to good families, so his mother also wanted to find a good one for him. Unfortunately, girls with good family backgrounds did not like him at all.

During this time, he also noticed that every time my mother went to discuss his marriage, her eldest aunt was a little impatient, and people in the house also vaguely said that my mother had high standards and was too picky.

He also wanted to settle the marriage quickly to avoid being gossiped about.

Yan Wenjie once again thought of Zhu Qiyun, whom he had met twice before. The girl's speech and behavior seemed to be that of a lady, so how could she fall in love with him?

Thinking of this, Yan Wenjie wanted to go to his parents to ask for details, so he got up and left the yard.

As soon as I entered the hanging flower gate, I saw two figures looking anxiously at something. After walking in, I realized that it was Miss Zhu and her maid.

Seeing Yan Wenjie, Zhu Qiyun was startled. Thinking of her inappropriate behavior of running around at night, she hurriedly explained: "I smelled the flowers in the garden and wanted to come out to have a look, but I walked away and walked away."

Now I can’t find my way back to the guest house.”

Seeing the anxiety on Zhu Qiyun's face, as if she was worried that he would misunderstand, Yan Wenjie chuckled: "Miss Zhu, don't worry, my yard is a bit big, it's normal for you to get lost for the first time here, I'll take you back."

."

As he said that, he quickly took a few steps forward and put some distance between himself and Zhu Qiyun.

Zhu Qiyun looked at Yan Wenjie and motioned for the maid to follow.

The two walked one behind the other, several meters apart, and neither of them spoke.

After arriving at the door of the guest house, Yan Wenjie smiled and said: "Miss Zhu, we're here, I'll leave first."

Looking at Yan Wenjie who turned around to leave, Zhu Qiyun struggled for a moment and shouted: "Wait a minute."

Yan Wenjie turned around: "Is something wrong?"

Zhu Qiyun took a deep breath and walked quickly towards Yan Wenjie.

Seeing her approaching, Yan Wenjie subconsciously wanted to step back, but held it back.

One meter away from Yan Wenjie, Zhu Qiyun stopped: "Qiyun is not talented. I wonder if the young master cares about other ladies? If not, Qiyun is willing to join hands with the young master for the rest of his life."

"Since childhood, my parents have hired strict teachers to teach Qiyun how to play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry and poetry. Although Qiyun is not proficient in everything, she is good at it. Since she was ten years old, my mother has taught Qiyun how to manage the house, socialize and entertain."

"Qiyun thinks she is no worse than other ladies. Although I have withdrawn from the engagement, it is not my fault. Please give me some consideration." After saying that, she ran into the guest house with a blushing face.
