Chapter 267 Why did Miss Xie want to go to the Marquis of Changning?
Gu Ying and Gu Yan entered the house and saw Xie Yixiao sitting on the Arhat chair facing the door reading a book. The girl wearing this pink dress sat on a rose armchair next to it.
The girl was only sixteen years old and was born delicate and weak.
Gu Ying felt that this person was a bit unfamiliar, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then walked towards Xie Yixiao: "Cousin, Ayan and I are here to see you."
Xie Yixiao raised his head and glanced at her. Gu Ying had a flattering smile on her face, while Gu Yan was a little uneasy.
Xie Yixiao undoubtedly embarrassed them, nodded and said: "Since I'm here, I'll stay for two more days."
Gu Ying immediately beamed: "Since my cousin invited me, we will stay a few more days."
Gu Yan also smiled: "Thank you, cousin."
Xie Yi smiled and said, "I still have guests here. You go and clean up first. Mingjing, take them to the guest room to make arrangements."
Ming Jing took the order: "Yes, you two cousins, please come with your servants."
Gu Ying and Gu Yan were happy at the moment, so naturally they agreed: "Well, let's go clean up first and then come see my cousin."
After that, the two of them followed Ming Jing out.
Xie Lian originally wanted to talk to the two girls from the Changning Marquis Mansion, but seeing them coming and going in a hurry, he couldn't sit still.
"Little aunt, I'm going to see the two Miss Gus and see if there's anything I can do to help."
Xie Yixiao raised his eyes to look at her, and Xie Lian suddenly panicked, feeling a bit helpless after being seen through. She stood up, then said "I'll go take a look" and walked out.
Mingxin couldn't help but frown: "What exactly does she want to do?"
Xie Yi smiled and said, "What are you doing? I just want to use the influence of the Xie family to get acquainted with the noble daughters of these powerful families, and then use this to get into a good marriage, thus changing my life."
Ming Xin was stunned for a moment, and then she actually smiled: "She is not afraid that her teeth will break due to her excessive appetite."
In this world, family background is really important. Girls from high families don't have to worry about marrying, and students at lower levels can also change their status through their own efforts by taking the imperial examination. It is still possible to marry a girl from a high family.
But if a woman from an ordinary background marries into a high-ranking family, she needs a lot of opportunities and extraordinary abilities, otherwise it is absolutely impossible.
Moreover, men can marry wives and take concubines only when they meet someone they like. Most of them just marry high-ranking ladies and then bring them in.
There really is no luck like Zhou's in thousands of years.
Because of her background, a girl from an ordinary background may not have the vision and connections of a noble girl from a powerful clan, as well as the ability to deal with various events. If she can stand up after getting married, that's all. If she can't, then it's really missing.
Not only is it a help, it also becomes a drag.
Zhou seemed fine in the past, but once she encountered big problems, she couldn't handle it. Like many ordinary women, she regarded her children as her beloved ones and was willing to do anything for them.
But she forgot that she was a Marquis and the head matron of the Hou family. She needed to balance the relationship between everyone in the family so that they could unite and support each other in the future. She needed to maintain the family's reputation and the entire family needed to seek a future.
In this way, when she disregards the interests of others or even harms others, it may be the beginning of family trouble.
The reason why Gu Ying and Gu Yan came to the Xie family from the Changning Marquis Mansion to seek asylum was not because they didn't believe in the Zhou family. When she regretted it and insisted on marrying her younger sister, they would really be doomed.
The good card of the Changning Marquis Mansion was ruined by her.
Apart from anything else, even if she is unwilling to marry Gu You, there are countless solutions in the world, including finding a maid as an adopted daughter and giving her a dowry, but she actually wants a concubine to marry her instead.
.
My mind was really blown away by the strong wind.
Xie Yixiao stretched out her hand and frowned: "Let her suffer a little, then she will know who she is. Also, Gu Ying and Gu Yan are staying in the house. Please close the door behind them to prevent them from breaking in."
Went behind.
The small workshop in the back room is the most important place now, and no one can break in randomly.
Ming Xin said: "Don't worry, girl. I will go find a lock and lock the door at the back later. You will need a key for entry and exit from now on."
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "Let's leave it like this for the next two days. They will leave in two days."
When Gu You gets married, they will naturally go back.
However, Xie Yixiao didn't know if Gu You could successfully get married this time, and he always felt a bit uncertain.
She had a headache and shook her head, simply not thinking about it anymore.
.
On the other side, Ming Jing led Gu Ying and Gu Yan to the east wing. There were three rooms in the east wing. Originally, Ming Jing and Ming Xin each lived in one room, and the remaining room was a guest room. Now that Gu Ying and Gu Yan came together, they also had their own rooms.
With a maid, one room is obviously not enough to live in.
Ming Jing said: "There are limited rooms in the courtyard. Please forgive me, the second cousin. The fourth cousin will live in this room with her maid. Later, the slave will free up the room she lives in for the fifth cousin."
Gu Ying and Gu Yan didn't dare to have any objections. It would be great if the other party could take them in, so there wouldn't be so many demands.
Gu Yan said: "Thank you Mingjing."
Ming Jing said: "Miss Wubiao, you are too polite. I will clean up now."
Ming Jing had saved a lot of things over the years. Fortunately, there were several boxes in the house. She put her things in the boxes and moved them to the house next door where Ming Xin lived.
Gu Ying and Gu Yan didn't know how to help, so they had to stand at the door and wait.
After a while, Xie Lian came. She looked at Gu Ying and Gu Yan standing at the door of the east chamber. Her heartbeat seemed to be a little faster. She took a breath, then smiled and walked up.
"You two, Miss Gu."
Gu Ying raised her eyebrows: "Which girl are you from?"
Thanks for the pity and said with a smile: "Thank you for your pity, little lady."
"It turns out to be a girl from the Xie family." Gu Ying rarely gave her face. After all, she was going to live in the Xie family now, so she couldn't offend the Xie family. "Is there something wrong with Miss Xie calling us?"
Xie Lian smiled and said: "It's nothing. I heard that the eldest girl in your family is getting married tomorrow, so I was thinking about whether I could give her some makeup. Although I didn't know each other before, we can get to know each other now, right? If the two girls are
When you go back home, I wonder if you can take me with you."
Gu Ying's face turned dark when she heard her talk about adding makeup to Gu You: "If she wants to get married, she will get married. There is nothing to add makeup to. Is it possible that Miss Xie didn't know that her marriage was in a hurry and she didn't even invite guests?
Said it was to add makeup."
"And we will stay at my cousin's place for two days. If Miss Xie wants to add makeup, she can go by herself."
Xie Lian's face stiffened slightly: "You want to stay here for two days? When Miss Gu comes out of the cabinet, won't you go back? You are Miss Gu's younger sister, how can you not go back?"
Seeing that she suddenly became anxious, Gu Ying's face became a little stiff, and she raised her eyebrows slightly: "What does it have to do with Miss Xie whether I go back or not? Or, why does Miss Xie want to go to the Changning Marquis Mansion?"
"Could it be that...Miss Xie also has a crush on my eldest brother?"
