Chapter 317 Her Choice
Chapter 317 Her choice
Qin Zhiyi gently told her the whole story and took her to the yard to bask in the sun.
Grandma is getting older and has inconvenience in her legs and feet, so she becomes even more reluctant to move and spends most of her time sleeping.
After listening to her words, Grandma also sighed and said: "It seems that this matter depends on fate. I think that the great-great-grandson is a lucky person and will definitely be successful in the future. As long as he sees the great-grandson
When my great-grandson marries a wife, I can close my eyes."
"As Grandma said, you will live a long life. Could it be that Grandma is waiting for my great-grandson to get a wife, and not waiting for me and the other two?"
When grandma heard this, she laughed from ear to ear.
The two chatted about other things, and while they were chatting, Grandma fell asleep.
Qin Zhiyi asked two people to carry the recliner into the house. Fearing that she would be harmed by being exposed to the sun for too long, she also asked someone to get a quilt to cover her.
The recliner was already very warm for my grandma, so she fell asleep on it and felt extremely comfortable when she woke up.
She was just worried about another thing. If there was a famine and she really had to take the whole family on a journey, what would she do if Grandma was too old and would have to go on a bumpy road?
Qin Zhiyi lived a peaceful life here, but the county magistrate's wife became angry.
When Xu Wenxun came back, Mrs. Xu quickly told him what happened today.
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to say worriedly: "My husband, you said that if I just rejected the Princess Regent, will it cause trouble to Xiangling in the future? The Princess Regent seems to be a kind person, but she is not afraid of 10,000 yuan.
Afraid of what might happen."
How could he not understand what his wife said.
Xu Wenxun hurriedly comforted her and said: "Don't worry, I also think that the regent princess is a good person. Although she runs many restaurants, all the money she made this year has been used to benefit the people. There are many hypocrites in this world.
The fact that she has persisted in doing so for so long shows that she is not a hypocrite."
Mrs. Xu bit her lip and said, "That's what I said, but I'm also worried. After all, if I really marry Xiang Ling, I won't be marrying the regent's palace, but to a commoner."
"Xiang Ling grew up beside us. Although I call her sister, I treat her like my own daughter. Naturally, I don't want her to marry and suffer injustice."
"My good lady, if you think so, you are worrying too much."
Xu Wenxun put his arms around Mrs. Xu's shoulders and said to her: "I think that the future of this life is bright. This marriage is feasible as long as it is consensual. As for the other things, you can talk to Xiang Ling. This girl also has her own ideas."
…
Xiangling learned that Laiwang's aunt had been here, and she was filled with anxiety when she entered the boudoir.
Because she heard from the maid that Aunt Laiwang came to their house to discuss the marriage between Laiwang and her.
However, it had been so long since she came back, and her sister-in-law had not mentioned a word. She was even more embarrassed to take the initiative to ask, so she could only sit in her boudoir and wait anxiously.
Suddenly I heard the maid say at the door: "Miss, Madam is here."
Hearing the sound, she quickly held the book in her hands and pretended to read.
After Mrs. Xu came in, she saw her sister sitting by the window with a book in her hand.
But she just glanced at it and knew that this little girl was just pretending to read.
So he walked up to Xiangling, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is my sister reading a book?"
Xiangling's heart was beating fast. Although her eyes were on the book, her heart was already far away, so she just made a vague hum.
"I was reading a book, so I'm disturbing you. That's fine. I'll come back later."
Mrs. Xu deliberately teased her. After saying this, she turned around and walked out. Xiang Ling quickly put the book on the table and hugged her arm with both hands.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not busy, so I won't disturb you."
Mrs. Xu was amused by her. She stretched out her hand and tapped her forehead and said, "Look at how anxious you are. I'm afraid you already knew the purpose of my visit. You just said you were reading a book, but you took it all backwards."
"Ah? Really?"
Xiang Ling quickly turned her eyes to the book on the table, and blushed immediately at the sight. It turned out that she was so anxious that she actually pinched the book upside down.
"sister in law……"
She was a little shy and didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Xu pulled her to sit down: "Okay, okay, sister-in-law, I won't tease you anymore. Since you are not in the mood to read, let us sit down and have a good chat."
Because the discussion was a private matter, both of them sent the maid out.
At this moment, only the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were left in the house.
Mrs. Xu looked at Xiang Ling and said seriously: "I guess you already know what happened today. Mrs. Fei came to the house just to ask you if you want to allocate it."
Xiangling asked eagerly: "Then what did sister-in-law say?"
"Of course I told the truth, and of course I didn't give her a definite answer. Mrs. Fei brought a lot of gifts, which shows that she is very sincere."
Mrs. Xu said lightly, and then asked her: "Xiang Ling, I didn't accept any of the gifts Mrs. Fei brought. That's because I want you to think carefully about whether to agree to this marriage."
Xiang Ling nodded seriously: "Sister-in-law, just say whatever you want, Xiang Ling will definitely remember it in her heart."
Mrs. Xu gently touched Xiang Ling's head. When he married into the Xu family, this girl was only seven or eight years old. In the blink of an eye, she was already 15 years old, almost the age of marriage.
"Sister-in-law just wants to ask you a few questions. The first one is, if you marry him and he has not obtained any honors, will you be able to bear it when the time comes to go back to the small mountain village of Qinjiazhuang to farm the land?
Don't answer me in a hurry. Think about it. When you go back, you will live in a thatched hut with two illiterate parents. You have endless work to do all year round and there are no maids around to take care of you. Even if you want to come see me and your brother in the future,
I’m afraid it’s hard to come here every ten days and a half.”
When Mrs. Xu said this, Xiangling was also thinking seriously.
Marrying a man means dressing and eating, she understands this truth better than anyone else.
But even if she thought about it seriously, he was still willing to be with Lai Wang.
"Sister-in-law, I have thought about it carefully. If I am with him, I may suffer some hardships. I work at sunrise and rest at sunset. I have endless work all year round. But with him, I will also be very happy.
.”
"If I marry someone I don't like, even if there are countless maids to serve me and endless gold and silver jewelry, I won't have the thought to dress up. Women want to please their appearance, but there is no one to please themselves anymore, so living like this
It makes no sense."
Mrs. Xu looked at Xiang Ling, and she didn't expect that she could see so clearly at such a young age.
So he said: "Okay, let me ask you the second question. If he fails the exam, the children you give birth to will be what people call mud-legged children. Are you willing?"
"willing."
Xiangling answered even faster this time than before: "If I want to tell you the reason, it would be the same as before. Sister-in-law, we can also set our expectations higher. It would be better if he passed the exam. If he fails,
We can also do some small business. Although we won’t be able to survive, at least we won’t starve to death.”
