There has been a lot of trouble in the Changning Marquis Mansion recently. Can they agree to marry the girl over?
"The Duke Cao's office said that we can talk about this relationship, but there is also a condition, which is to let Ah Xuan's Zhou family's cousin get married first, and then we can talk to them after the Zhou family's cousin gets married."
Xie Yixiao suddenly laughed: "Mrs. Cao Guogong is a smart person."
Zhou Muqin is already eighteen this year and has not yet been engaged to get married. Who is this for? Everyone in the Imperial City knows it. For many ladies from powerful families, it is not impossible for men to take concubines.
But I will never tolerate a cousin coming in as a concubine.
If this concubine is really going to come in, it is not an ordinary concubine. Due to the blood relationship, both the husband and the main wife will have to be a little bit less favored, and there is also a mother-in-law as a backer, and it is even possible to join forces with the mother-in-law.
, making life difficult for the main wife.
Even if the main wife can stand firm, how can there be a peaceful life with such a concubine?
Smart people all know that this cousin cannot be kept. If she does not marry, others will not dare to marry in.
"But this matter is not easy. After all, my surname is Zhou. It is the Zhou family's business whether or not to marry whomever. It is not the Gu family's turn to make the decision. And if Miss Zhou is willing to marry, why bother bothering all these years? She would have been married long ago.
.”
Probably because the Zhou family relied on their in-laws with the Changning Marquis Mansion to gain a foothold in the Imperial City. The families they could interact with were similar to their own. It was rare to get to know a noble son, let alone get along with Gu Zhixuan.
Comparable.
Having seen Gu Zhixuan's excellence, the Zhou family was willing to hold off on any hope that might not come true, hoping that it might come true.
Even if she can't be the wife, I guess she would be happy to be the concubine.
"I don't care about that." Jiang's expression was indifferent, "I have already found the marriage. If they can't even do this, then there will be no marriage."
The Jiang family has told the Marquis of Changning and the Zhou family about the requirements of the Cao Guogong Palace, and how to discuss it with the Zhou family. This is their business. After all, the Zhou family is the daughter of the Zhou family, and the Marquis of Changning is their son-in-law. The two of them are in the Zhou family.
Able to speak.
As for her, an old lady from the in-laws, she really has no control over other people's affairs.
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Miss Cao Si is an excellent girl. If my eldest cousin marries her, he will be very lucky in the future."
Cao Sijin has an average appearance, but is capable and virtuous. Although she is young, she has already gained a good reputation. Whoever can marry her will be a blessing to the family.
Others may not be able to do it, but Cao Sijin will definitely be able to treat Zhou docilely, and even Gu You might have to be suppressed by her.
People are just so awesome.
"No." Jiang sighed lightly, "They all say that if you marry a virtuous wife, three generations will be blessed if you marry a virtuous wife. If you marry an unvirtuous person, all three generations will be harmed by her."
"What I admire the most is your aunt. She is the most powerful housekeeper I have ever seen." Mrs. Jiang compared it with Mrs. Zhou and felt extremely sad. "You should also learn from her and you will benefit from it for the rest of your life."
ah."
Xie Yixiao nodded: "Grandma, don't worry, Yixiao will learn well."
While the two were talking, someone came to report that Jiang Zeyun and Gu Xiang were here.
Ms. Jiang asked people to quickly invite people in. She patted Xie Yixiao's hand, with a smile on her face: "Since your second cousin got pregnant, life has stabilized and she is doing well now."
Gu Xiang married into the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, and her background was not as good as Gu You's. The Marquis of Wu'an just pinched their noses and recognized the marriage, but they didn't say how much they wanted to treat her, and Jiang Zeyun only had Gu You in his heart before.
She was very cold.
Now that she has a child, whether it is a boy or a girl, she is of the blood of the Marquis of Wu'an, and her life will become easier all of a sudden. If she can give birth to a boy, her position as the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an will be secure.
"That's good." Xie Yixiao also hoped that Gu Xiang would be well.
Not long after, Jiang Zeyun and Gu Xiang came in together. Compared with before, Jiang Zeyun's face looked much better, and Gu Xiang also had a smile on his face. They both stepped forward and saluted: "Axiang/Zeyun, meet my grandmother.
"
"My cousin is here too?"
Xie Yixiao bowed slightly and saluted: "Second cousin, second cousin-in-law."
"cousin."
Jiang asked people to sit down and serve tea. Gu Xiang asked people to bring the gifts she had prepared. She prepared several good ginseng for Jiang. They were not very old, but they were good things.
"My mother-in-law gave this to me, saying she wanted me to eat it to replenish my health, and she gave me a lot. But I couldn't eat so much, so I sent some to my grandmother and cooked it for her several times when she was asked to make medicinal meals.
, it’s not a particularly valuable thing, but the ginseng is a good ginseng.”
Mrs. Jiang smiled: "You are considerate. We also have a lot of good red dates, sunflower seeds, angelica and codonopsis pilosula in the house. Take some back later."
Gu Xiang smiled: "Then I'd like to thank my grandmother."
Gu Xiang also thought about it carefully. Although she was adopted into the name of Marquis Changning and the Zhou family, the Zhou family was only focused on Gu You and only cared about her for face. In this case, it would be better for her to please the Zhou family than to please the Jiang family.
"No need to say thank you, as long as you can use it." Jiang said with a smile, "How are you lately? Are you eating well?"
"It's good. This child knows how to be considerate of his mother. Everything I eat tastes delicious, and it makes me gain a lot of weight."
"That's good, that's good."
The grandfather and grandson were talking, and Xie Yixiao sat aside and looked at Jiang Zeyun without any trace. He saw that his eyes were looking at the door several times, and he didn't know what he was expecting.
Probably Gu You.
It's a pity that his expectations are destined to be unfulfilled. The Marquis of Changning kept Gu You under very strict supervision this time. Even during the Chinese New Year, Gu You never appeared in front of others and stayed alone in Youruoyuan.
among.
If she has no way to get out, she may have to stay in this hospital for the rest of her life until she dies.
Jiang Zeyun waited, a little absent-minded, and didn't know what he was thinking. Gu Xiang called him twice, and then frowned slightly. He probably thought of the reason, and the smile on his face faded a lot.
Jiang Zeyun came back to his senses, looked at Gu Xiang whose face turned pale, and frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
Gu Xiang said: "Grandma is asking you something."
Jiang Zeyun then looked at Jiang, who said again with a smile: "Axiang is pregnant. As my husband, you should be considerate and take good care of her."
Jiang Zeyun said: "Grandma's teachings, Zeyun will keep them in mind."
Jiang nodded: "It's good that you remember it. I hope you can live a good life." As for others, they are all in the past, so don't worry about them anymore.
Xie Yixiao sat there for a while, then planned to go to Mr. Gu's house, sit there, give the New Year's greetings, and then come back and have a meal here.
Gu Xiang wanted to go with her: "I happen to be going too, so let's go with my cousin."
