Chapter 7 The Zhou family actually wants to marry Jiang Xian

The reception hall of Jiangpinghou Mansion.

Mrs. Hou sat at the top, feeling proud.

Mrs. Zhou sat at the bottom, secretly jealous.

If her husband hadn't been furious when he heard the news that she had terminated the engagement without authorization, and ordered her to go to the Marquis' Mansion to apologize in person, she would not have made such a trip.

Thinking that her son was also outstanding in everything, why did he insist on holding on to the adopted daughter of the Marquis?!

She really doesn't understand her husband's thoughts.

Zhou Qian, who was accompanying him, had the same idea.

If you ask him to find a chance to meet Jiang Sheng, that girl will definitely be devoted to him. Why would he need to go to the Hou Mansion again?

"Madam, the girl is here."

Jiang Sheng was wearing an ordinary goose-yellow brocade-edged pipa lapel today, a two-color pleated skirt, and her hair was half tied up in a bun. The complicated hairpin decorations were removed, making her look more light and delicate.

She walked quickly to Mrs. Hou, but the beads on her skirt did not shake much: "Mother, you are looking for me."

Mrs. Hou introduced generously: "This is Mrs. Zhou's family, and this is Mrs. Zhou's son."

In fact, everyone recognized her, but she deliberately acted unfamiliar.

Jiang Sheng called out: "Mrs. Zhou, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Qian was amazed by Jiang Sheng today. She had the same face, but her movements seemed more natural today.

The resentment of being called to the Hou Mansion by his parents to apologize was mostly gone. Zhou Qian put on what he thought was a perfect smile: "Sister Sheng."

One of Zhou Qian's aunts married into the Li family, and the Li family's legitimate daughter married into Mrs. Hou's nephew. The term "sister" can barely be considered.

But Mrs. Hou did not admit this: "Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Ling can talk to each other if they have anything to say. There is no need to be related to each other."

Mrs. Zhou's face looked ugly, but she still held up her lips: "Isn't this the marriage between Shengsheng and my useless son?"

The corner of Mrs. Hou's lips curled up, and she knew it.

As the saying goes, you should raise your head to marry a girl but lower your head to marry a wife. Mrs. Zhou suppressed the humiliation in her heart: "Shengsheng is a beautiful and sensible child. What happened in the past few days is really something we shouldn't have done."

Mrs. Zhou said this, but she was thinking in her heart——

When Jiang Sheng gets married, let’s see how she treats Jiang Sheng!

Anyway, as a mother-in-law and an elder, shouldn’t she set some rules for her new daughter-in-law?

Mrs. Zhou thought about this and smiled: "I hope you will put aside the past, bear the pain and marry Sheng Sheng to the Zhou family."

The Zhou family indeed came with sincerity today, accompanied by a matchmaker wearing bright red wide sleeves carrying several large red wooden boxes.

The matchmaker had already heard the whole story, and now she echoed: "How can we get along without friction? The Zhou family and the Hou family are family friends. Mr. Zhou is a talented person, and he and his daughter have been childhood sweethearts since they grew up together. They know the ins and outs. Where can I find a better one than this? A more suitable candidate?"

Mrs. Hou was about to say who was her childhood sweetheart with whom, but she was worried about Jiang Sheng and stopped her temper.

"Shengsheng, what do you think?"

As soon as Zhou Qian heard Mrs. Hou ask Jiang Sheng, he felt that there was something interesting. He smiled proudly and waited for Jiang Sheng to nod.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Sheng said: "I don't think it's good."

Jiang Sheng openly exposed his shortcomings: "I was not the one who made the engagement with Mr. Zhou."

"Although I am only the adopted daughter of the Hou family, I grew up with my father and mother in their hands. I just want to choose an upright and simple family. I hope the Zhou family will find her another choice."

Zhou Qian had a straight face, thinking that Jiang Sheng was trying to catch him: "Jiang Sheng, don't go too far."

As soon as the matchmaker heard Zhou Gan's words and looked at Mrs. Hou's face, she knew something bad was going to happen.

Young Master, they are here to propose marriage. How can they marry your daughter with your pretentious attitude like this?

But Zhou Qian had no scruples: "Don't think that I have to be you. Is this an engagement?"

Zhou Qian turned to Mrs. Hou: "Which girl who made a marriage contract with our family back then still hopes that Mrs. Hou will fulfill her promise."

Mrs. Hou's face darkened. Do you really think that their girls are just cabbage, for the Zhou family to choose at will?

She was about to speak, but Jiang Sheng grabbed her sleeve.

Mrs. Hou turned her head to look at Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng smiled and asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you referring to my sister Jiang Xian?"

Jiang Sheng clapped his fingers: "First of all, the engagement between our two families has been terminated and the token has been returned. Secondly, you want to marry my sister——

"My sister may not agree yet."

Zhou Qian's eyes were contemptuous.

He felt that Jiang Xian was from the countryside after all, and had grown up in that kind of place. So what if she was a real daughter of a marquis? She didn't know how to play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and manage a house. It was already a gift for him to marry her.

But he doesn't want to marry Jiang Xian. Jiang Xian knows nothing about these things. How can he take care of the affairs of the inner house for him in the future?

Zhou Qian just wanted to give Jiang Sheng some sense of crisis.

He doesn’t have to be Jiang Sheng!

Zhou Qian sneered: "You don't dare, right? Jiang Sheng, you have to have a certain temper even if you play hard to get."

"If you change your mind now and nod in agreement, I will still be willing to marry you."

Zhou Qian's words were not nice. Mrs. Hou wanted to drive them away immediately, but Jiang Sheng stopped her.

Jiang Sheng's heart moved.

Who gave you the confidence that the heroine would like you?

She couldn't wait to see the heroine slap Zhou Gan's face.

Jiang Sheng smiled and said to Mrs. Hou: "In this case, why doesn't mother invite sister to come?"

Mrs. Hou doesn't want to invite.

If Jiang Xian really agreed to marry Zhou Qian, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her? What's more, Jiang Xian was unruly and uncultured, and she didn't want to see Jiang Xian at all.

But under Jiang Sheng's smile, Mrs. Hou still called her maid to find Jiang Xian.

Zhou Qian threatened: "Jiang Sheng, please think clearly. You were originally just a peasant girl, but you were lucky enough to be carried to the Marquis' Mansion and fly on a branch to become a phoenix. Now that I can marry you, you should be grateful. What else will you get? Later If your sister really agrees, don’t blame me."

I have to say that what I did this week was stupid, and I don’t know how the original owner could like such a person.

Sure enough, Mrs. Hou couldn't help it anymore: "Who said our Shengsheng is a peasant girl?"

"Mrs. Zhou, is this how you discipline your son?"

Mrs. Zhou slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Her son was right, Jiang Sheng was a peasant girl, and her son could only marry Jiang Sheng because of the old man's face.

After putting down the tea, Mrs. Zhou scolded slightly: "Don't be rude when you come back, Qian'er."

Zhou Qian retreated to Mrs. Zhou, his eyes still unconvinced.

Mrs. Hou winked at Banzhan, but before Banzhan could say anything, the maid who went to call Jiang Xian had already returned.

Jiang Xian didn't come together.

Jiang Sheng was a little disappointed but thought it was reasonable. After all, this little bastard seemed to be ignored by the heroine.

But Mrs. Hou didn't know what Jiang Xian's temper was, so she stared at the maid intently: "What did she say?"

The maid saluted: "Miss Xian said that it is up to the lady to do whatever she wants with this engagement, but don't give it to her anyway."

The implication is obvious

——I despise your family.

Mrs. Hou laughed loudly, and then she felt that Jiang Xian had given her a little face: "Did you hear that? Neither of my two daughters likes your family. Why don't you just take your things and go away smoothly?"

Mrs. Hou raised her eyebrows and pointed at the girl and threw out the boxes of betrothal gifts.

"Qiao Guishuang, don't go too far!"

Mrs. Zhou lost face and called Mrs. Hou by her maiden name and scolded her.

Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Qian left in a hurry. Before Zhou Qian left, he turned back to Jiang Sheng and said, "Don't regret it! With your current status, besides me, which family member would marry you?"

Mrs. Hou snorted: "Our family Shengsheng is both talented and beautiful. If it weren't for the engagement with you, the person who proposes marriage would have already crossed the threshold."

The man standing nearby smiled with his lips half covered.

The matchmaker hurriedly followed Zhou's family, but she hadn't received her money yet.

She said that with the Zhou family's attitude, she would not be willing to marry off her daughter.
