Mother and daughter Liao began to complain about the injustice in the world again, complaining about Rong Guogong and his wife and Rong Ting's inaction. They could say any dissatisfaction in anger. Liao's image as a self-proclaimed fairy in the past seemed to have quietly faded away.
.
In mid-May, after Jiang was much better, he asked Mrs. Xie to help with the matchmaking process and asked Gu Zhixuan to marry Cao Sijin. After asking that both families were interested, Mrs. Xie readily agreed and went with Jiang and Gu Zhixuan.
A trip to Cao Guogong’s mansion.
When the news came out, many people in the Imperial City were shocked, and many people who were staring at Gu Zhixuan were stopped, and everyone started talking.
Xie Yixiao went to Qingfeng Tower on the River for several days to listen to these gossips.
Regarding this marriage, some people thought it was a perfect match, while others thought it was inappropriate. As for those who were not suitable, they were divided into two groups, one group was stationed at Ninghou Mansion, and the other group was stationed at Cao Guogong Mansion.
Stationmaster Ning Houfu said that Gu Zhixuan was the eldest son of the Houfu and Tanhua Lang. He was the best candidate for a husband in the imperial city. There was no other girl he could ask for. Even if Princess Shang married the princess, she would be worthy of it.
Cao Sijin is good at everything, she comes from a good background, and she is virtuous and capable, but there is one shortcoming, that is, she is a bit ordinary. Among the various noble ladies in the Imperial City, her appearance is almost at the bottom.
Those on the side of Cao Guogong's Mansion said that Cao Sijin was a noble daughter of the Duke of Cao, and she was also virtuous and capable. She was a well-known candidate for the clan's wife in the imperial city, but the Changning Marquis' Mansion was a mess, and the Changning Marquis' Mansion wanted to marry her.
, but he just took a fancy to her housekeeping skills and wanted her to clean up the mess.
However, neither Cao Guogong's Mansion nor Changning Marquis' Mansion paid much attention to these external discussions. It was probably true of all marriages in the world, and not everyone thought it was a match made in heaven.
"I thought this marriage was not going to work out, but unexpectedly, unexpectedly, you two ended up together." Xie Yixiao happened to meet Cao Sijin at Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower and had tea with her.
Cao Sijin's face was calm and she didn't seem to be shy at all. She took a sip of tea and then said: "It was because of Gu You's matter earlier. You should also know that my family doesn't want me to marry someone and be implicated."
"Shizi Gu has outstanding talents, good looks, and acceptable character. He is not one of those who judge people by their appearance. Especially now that I have agreed to marry him and clean up the mess for the Changning Marquis Mansion. Everyone in the Changning Marquis Mansion has
You have to be grateful to me."
"And the two families are well matched."
Cao Sijin and Gu Zhixuan actually had no feelings. They only made decisions after weighing the pros and cons of their rights. After they got married, they probably treated each other with respect and treated each other with neither salt nor indifference. This was a reflection of many marriages in the Imperial City.
If you are lucky and have a relationship with your husband in the future, that is also very good. If you are unlucky and you always treat your husband with respect as a guest and have no feelings and only seek the respect of your husband's family and husband, even if you have to take a concubine in the future, no one will be happy.
But they go.
For Gu Zhixuan, Cao Sijin is his best choice. His mother is crazy and his grandmother is old. He needs a wife to help him take care of the house so that he and his father can run errands with peace of mind.
As far as Cao Sijin is concerned, Gu Zhixuan is also her best choice. He is a prince who has inherited the title and has a decent character. He will not be unhappy because she is ordinary.
Xie Yixiao hesitated to speak, and finally just said her blessing. Now that the matter was over, she sincerely hoped that Gu Zhixuan and Cao Sijin could get along and develop a relationship, and that the couple would be harmonious and stay together for the rest of their lives.
In fact, Cao Sijin is not ugly, but among the noble girls in Mandi City, there are very few ugly people, so her appearance is made more ordinary.
But Xie Yixiao felt that one should not judge people based on their appearance. Cao Sijin had a delicate heart. If she was not just a superficial person who could only see her skin, it would not be impossible for Gu Zhixuan to fall in love with her over time.
However, people like Cao Sijin will definitely not treat themselves badly no matter what their future situation may be.
"Miss Cao has agreed to marry into the Changning Marquis Mansion at this time to save the Changning Marquis Mansion from suffering. If my eldest cousin fails you in the future, he shouldn't. When the time comes, I will definitely stand by your side."
Cao Sijin smiled slightly: "Thank you very much. I'll give you tea instead of wine."
Xie Yixiao drank a cup of tea with her and parted soon after.
In late May, Rong Guogong's mansion came to ask for a date. Mrs. Rong Guogong asked someone to calculate the auspicious date and gave a total of three dates. One was September 18th this year, the other was October 6th, and the last one was March next year.
The eighteenth day of the month.
The idea from Duke Rong's Mansion is that it would be best to get married this year. After all, preparations for the wedding have already begun, and they are almost ready now. Xie Yixiao had already tried on the size not long before the wedding, and the phoenix crown also looked roughly the same.
Out.
Mrs. Xie saw that Rong Guogong was eager to marry a bride, so she did not embarrass him here. After discussing with her family, she chose the sixth day of October.
The weather in October is already cold, but it is not too cold. It is very suitable for getting married. After getting married, the young couple can celebrate the New Year together. In this cold winter, it is also the best time to cultivate feelings.
On the second day after the wedding date was set, Mrs. Xie and Xie Yixiao went to Changning Marquis Mansion to tell Jiang about the matter. Jiang was very happy after hearing this.
She had been resting well these days, and with the fact that Gu Zhixuan and Cao Sijin were getting married, the stone that was weighing on her heart was removed, and she felt relieved and more energetic.
"Yixiao, thank you for taking the trouble." Jiang thanked him.
"Mrs. Gu is too polite. Yi Xiao is a girl from the Xie family, and this is what I should do." Mrs. Xie replied.
"This is not a question of who should do what. You have worked hard to plan for her, teach her, and put in a lot of effort. She should also be grateful to you."
"We are all a family. In my heart, Yixiao and Azhu are no different from my girls. They are also filial and caring for me. This is a mutual thing. I used to regret that I didn't have girls in my life, but now I feel like
It’s the same as raising two.”
Mrs. Xie was kind to both Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu, and they both respected and filial piety to her, especially Xie Zhu. She had no mother since she was a child and grew up with Mrs. Xie, an eldest aunt. Mrs. Xie was no different from her mother.
.
Many people say that the Xie family is a family that pays attention to interests and etiquette, but as long as the interests are distributed properly and no one is suppressed or wronged, it is actually very harmonious. However, this also requires the mother of the family to do a good job.
Every time Jiang looked at Mrs. Xie, she thought of Cao Sijin. Perhaps many years later, under the care of Cao Sijin, the Changning Marquis Mansion could be like the Xie family today.
The world says that it is extremely reasonable to marry a virtuous wife, especially if the wife of the clan is not good and marries a selfish one, the whole family will not be at peace.
Mrs. Zhou is a lesson learned from the past. For the sake of her own children, others can use them to fill the hole and sacrifice them. How can the family be better off with such a mistress?
