"Hua'er, you have to think more about your sister. Year after year, if you can't find the right one, Rulan will really become an old girl."
She had a headache, and so did Hualan.
"Mom, Rulan will be seventeen in a year or so. Why are you so anxious? Besides, it's not like I didn't help you look at her, but I mentioned a few people from the Earl and Marquis Houses, but none of you liked them. I
I’m not very familiar with the ladies from the Qingliu civil servants’ families, so where can I go to ask you about them?”
As the eldest wife of Marquis Zhongjing, Hua Lan's social circle was naturally made up of the official family members of noble military generals. Although she had contact with the family members of civil servants, her relationship could only be described as average.
But for the few legitimate sons she mentioned, both her mother and sister looked down upon them. They either disliked this one or disliked that one. In short, they didn’t like them.
She was originally full of enthusiasm, but she began to feel discouraged after repeated failures. Every time she heard her mother mention it, her head hurt.
Wang Ruofu suddenly said: "Master Hou knows many people, otherwise..."
"Don't come up with bad ideas, mother, what are you thinking about? How could you even think of asking an official to propose marriage to your sister? I can't do such a thing. If so, I think you might as well go
Let father tell you."
Wang Ruofu said angrily: "If your father can be relied on, do I still need to look for you? I think you don't think about Ru'er. Hua'er, you are the eldest sister. You are living well now, so you should take care of her."
Take care of my sister, you..."
"Yes, yes, mother, I understand, please stop talking. I will take time to talk to Mrs. Wu after the new year. She knows much more about the powerful families in Bianjing City than I do."
"I think this is okay, you can ask her." Wang Ruofu nodded in surprise.
Hua Lan quickly dealt with her mother and then ran to Shou'an Hall.
But she didn't expect that when she arrived at Shou'antang, she would face another problem.
"Hua'er, you are so smart. You must have guessed something about Ming'er and Young Master Qi. Ming'er has made up her mind and I can't change it. Do you think she will have a chance?"
"ah?"
Hua Lan was immediately confused. She had just dealt with her mother, and now there was the matter between Minglan and Young Master Qi. Was the main thing to prevent her from living in peace?
"Grandma, the Young Master Qi is indeed a humble gentleman, and I also heard Mrs. Wu mention to me that the Young Master Qi is having trouble with his mother, Princess Pingning, probably because of Minglan, right?"
"Yes, alas, this girl doesn't listen to advice and is very stubborn. I thought there was no fate between them, but I didn't expect that Young Master Qi is also so stubborn. I'm afraid that if they continue to be stubborn like this, they will end up...
Hurt yourself."
Hua Lan sighed: "Grandma is right to worry. Princess Pingning is really, how should I put it, with her eyes above her head? How could she like Minglan? I heard that the Rong family and the Yong family recently
The king is interested in getting married to the Duke of Qi, and I guess Princess Pingning is considering it."
"The Rong family and King Yong?"
The old lady also had a headache. None of these two families could afford to be offended by the Sheng Mansion.
Seeing that the old lady was in pain, Hua Lan comforted her gently: "Grandma, you don't have to worry too much. No matter what happens, as long as I'm here, I won't let this girl Minglan be bullied."
The old lady sighed: "You are a good boy. You have never made me worry about you since you were a child. Even the most difficult marriage was very smooth and did not make me worry at all. Compared with you, Ming girl has no choice but to let me worry about you."
, she may not be as lucky as you, so I have to support her."
"Actually, I would rather want her to find an ordinary family. Even if she can't be rich, as long as she can live in peace and have no worries about food and drink, it's enough. And with Shengfu and you as my eldest sister here, she won't be able to marry into an ordinary family.
You will suffer."
"It's just that this child has grown up and has his own ideas. I can't change it. I can only think more about her and consider her future options."
Hua Lan was silent. These were her parents and elders, her mother was Ru Lan, and her grandmother was Ming Lan. They were all thinking very hard.
