Chapter 267 The Promised Marriage

With one sentence, Ma Yingjie was stopped on the spot, stunned and speechless.

Yeah, what is he going to do? What can he do?

Ma Yingjie's thin lips curled up, but he didn't say a word, and his clenched fists gradually loosened.

"What are you still doing? Pull it down." Yu Zhu smiled coldly and sternly urged the women to take action quickly.

After Shuanghong came to the capital with Ning Qiu, she went to Cheng Guogong's mansion. Everything in the mansion left a deep impression on her, especially towards the "above and above" second wife, who made her fearful for no reason.

Being dragged out by her mother-in-law, she did not dare to struggle wildly. She only cast her eyes for help on the man standing beside him like a statue.

But didn't get any response.



The carriage slowly drove away from the stark Zhenbei General's Mansion, turned around, and went straight to Chunyu Hutong.

The yard is quite spacious, with some green dwarf shrubs planted on the four edges, full of vitality. Because of the cold weather, the stone slabs on the ground are frozen to a cold white color, which makes people shrink their necks unconsciously and feel sad.

Get chilly.

However, Yu Zhu could not feel the cold at all at this time, because her eyes were completely attracted by the strong and agile figure in front of her.

I saw Ning Qiu wearing only a thin scarlet red coat and pants of the same color underneath, standing in the courtyard boxing.

The slender arms and rapid breathing showed that the level of boxing skills was not very high, but the face of the woman boxing was flushed, and her big bright eyes were shining brightly, which made people feel happy just looking at her.

By the end of the set of punches, there was actually a bit of a tigerish spirit.

After a pause, and then breathing out gently, Ning Qiu showed a cheerful smile, slowly straightened up, and walked to the stone table next to where the tea was placed...

"...Hey, why are you here?" It was only then that she saw a group of people standing not far away, and she was surprised.

When her eyes touched Shuanghong, who was standing aside obediently and avoiding her gaze, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

Yu Zhu retracted his hands into his cloak and said with a smile: "It's such a cold weather. You're not afraid of the cold, but I'm afraid... Let's talk in the house."

Ning Qiu woke up from a dream and hurriedly welcomed Yu Zhu into the Nuan Pavilion, and went to make tea herself.

It doesn't matter whether you drink tea or not. Yu Zhu didn't want her to do anything, but Ning Qiu smiled and said: "This is nothing... just try it and see if my craftsmanship is good?"

Yu Zhu drank tea with a smile, and without talking nonsense, he directly talked to her about what he saw and heard at Zhenbei General's Mansion today.

The smile on Ning Qiu's face suddenly froze. After a while, Cai Mumu looked at Shuanghong who started sobbing softly again at some point, "Who told you to go, who told you to go?!"

Shuanghong wiped away the tears on her face in grievance and whispered: "...When I was in the north, sister, you always mentioned him. Didn't you like him very much and miss him very much? It's so easy to come back to Beijing. Don't you?

I was worried about you even when I went to Ah Hong... If you don't let him know, sister, you will get married, and there will be no possibility of it in the future."

Ning Qiu was startled, murmured a few words in a low voice, lowered his head and fell silent.

Yu Zhu put down the tea cup in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The marriage...is it true?"

Why didn't she hear any news at all, not to mention the man's character and family background, or even the slightest bit of news about who he was.

The woman who was sitting with her head bowed hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing Ning Qiu nodding, Yu Zhu was shocked. Her mind was filled with so many questions that she didn't know what to say.

"... He is an honest man, but he has a bad life. He is said to be a wife-suppressant. The three wives he married before all died of illness. The third wife left him a son. He is only two years old now. He is taken in by the house.

Two maids, help take care of the child." Ning Qiu talked about that person's situation lightly, and made it clear in a few words.

With her like this, Yu Zhu couldn't say anything, so he just asked: "Is there anyone else at home?"

"No more." Ning Qiu tried hard to smile, but couldn't do it: "His mother died long ago, and his father also died five years ago. He left a silk shop for him. I heard he would take care of it.

It's going well, business is booming..."

"That man is already thirty-four years old. He looks like someone who owes him money. The house he lives in is not as big as ours. He is also a wife-suppressant. Sister, what are you trying to do with him..." Seeing that the atmosphere has relaxed.

After a while, Shuanghong relaxed a little. After hearing Ning Qiu's description, she couldn't help but murmured again.

Ning Qiu was furious and scolded: "Don't say that!"

Shuanghong rubbed her neck unwillingly and muttered in a low voice: "That's what it is..."

More than thirty years old... Yu Zhu analyzed silently in his heart and took in two maids to take care of the children. There were no concubines, singers or anything like that, so they should be fairly disciplined; both parents died, and the young couple would live together from now on;

He is well managed and has good abilities. At least he can take on the responsibilities of a man and support his family; then

He looks like someone owes him money, and he seems to be an old-fashioned man who doesn't smile. As for the house, he only has a silk shop in his name, so he can buy a house in Chunyu Hutong, so it's not a shame to be small. He also has a son, do the math.

The problem is not that big. Anyway, the child is still young. If you raise it well and there is no instigation from the aunt and servants, you should be able to raise it to maturity...

However, these are all speculations, and there is no way to tell. If Ning Qiu really wants to marry this person, she still needs to find someone to find out whether she knows the person, knows the face, but doesn’t know the heart...

Suddenly remembering something, Yu Zhu hurriedly asked: "Is it a matchmaker? Or..."

"During the Lantern Festival, Ahong and I went out to watch the lanterns and chatted for a while." Ning Qiu said with a smile on her face, "At that time, Ahong was going to Wangfu Street and said that she had inquired about it.

There are many people and there are many kinds of lights. It is recognized as the busiest street in the capital... I wanted to go with her

Yes, I had just walked out a few steps when I happened to meet Brother Guirong taking his children out to play. He kindly reminded me that it was not suitable for single women to go there, and also recommended several good places... A few days later, a matchmaker came

, I thought there was nothing good about me, so I accepted it without much thought."

Ning Qiu has always been bold and bold, and when she talks about her marriage, she is not sloppy at all, and her expression is not at all coy, as if what she is talking about is not her own business.

The man took his son out to watch the lanterns and guess riddles... Well, Yu Zhu touched her chin, then suddenly turned her eyes and stared at Shuang Hong, who was sitting next to her.

When you go to Wangfu Street, are you really innocent and ignorant and want to join in the fun, or... are you getting older and have other things in mind?
