Li Man'er listened to Mrs. Liang's legendary history with great interest, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore, "Then is she here to propose marriage? Is she proposing marriage to the second girl?"
"Exactly!" Luyi's eyes glowed green, "Girl, I have heard that Liang Wendao is not the head of the family, but his status in the family is no worse than that of the head of the family. He won the Jinshi in his early twenties."
Luyi counted the number of times Liang Wendao's relatives had passed away on his fingers. "If he hadn't lost his father, mother, and wife one after another, his career would have been particularly bright and smooth." Ding You's parents died three years ago, and six years in a row.
!
Six years later, when he returned to officialdom, things had changed. All his former classmates and colleagues had been promoted, but Liang Wendao was the only one who was repeatedly delayed and frustrated in officialdom.
A low-ranking official like him was not qualified to use the word "stealing love". In addition, his wife also died later, and there were many rumors about him being a slave to his parents and his wife.
Liang Wendao used to be an ambitious young man. After being dealt such a blow by God, he became disheartened and resigned and returned home.
Without an official position, Liang Wendao simply became a teacher. Although he was not as high-spirited as his official career, over the past few years, he had made several close friends and taught several talented disciples. After all, he was a Jinshi.
Born, such a person, even if he is not an official, is definitely a popular target in major academies, because in addition to having real talents and practical knowledge, he also understands the rules of the examination room and is more comfortable teaching students.
It's just that he was stimulated during his most successful years, and it left a shadow on Liang Wendao's psychology. Normally, you can't tell it, and everyone thinks he is elegant, knowledgeable, and very well-educated. But in private, Liang Wendao
He did a lot of dirty things, and the concubines in his family were quite afraid of him. Even if he was beaten, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the scene where he had a sullen face and stared madly with his eyes was really scary.
Good people can't help but be frightened. It is said that a concubine originally had some minor heart problems, but was later frightened by Liang Wendao and became ill. She was actually scared to death.
It was precisely because of this incident that rumors that Liang Wendao had "beated people" slowly spread.
"After the late Madam passed away, he has been unable to marry to fill the house. It is probably because of this." The Liang family is not an unknown person. Even if Liang Wendao wanted to marry to fill the house, he would not marry someone with a poor family background. A good family.
Daughter, who would suffer this!
Li Man'er snickered, "It's good to be here. But northern Sichuan is at least ten days away from us! Even if Mrs. Liang had wings, she wouldn't be able to fly so fast..."
Moreover, since she was in northern Sichuan, how did she know that the Li family wanted to get married?
Li Man'er didn't know why, but suddenly remembered Qi Yihan's meaningful look when he left. Could it be said that it was instructed by the Ninth Prince?
"Girl, what a coincidence." Lu Yi said: "This Mrs. Liang is originally from the capital. She came back to Beijing this time to visit her parents' family, but for some reason, she came to our house to propose marriage."
Li Man'er thought thoughtfully, "This is not bad."
Zi Yan is not as optimistic as Lu Yi.
"That Mr. Liang is quite old, he is almost the same as the Marquis! The second girl has always been competitive, how could she be willing to marry such a person?"
"Your worries are not unreasonable..."
Just as Li Man'er was about to say something, he heard someone coming to report again, saying that Princess Wuyou had sent someone here.
"ah?"
Princess Wuyou sent someone over at this time, which really puzzled Li Maner.
"Can you tell me why you came?"
"I said I came here for Mrs. Liang." Aunt Wu was a little worried, "Girl, you just started thinking about it... maybe someone is interested in you."
Li Man'er suddenly opened his eyes wide, was someone thinking about him?
She understood what Aunt Wu meant, and she laughed and shook her head, "No, don't worry!"
Aunt Wu was very puzzled, "Girl, what are you..."
"Okay, I know what's going on. You guys, hurry up and get ready. In a few days, the marriage will be finalized."
Lu Yi was very happy, feeling that the second girl's retribution had finally come! She had bullied the eldest girl so many times, relying on the old lady and the madam to support her, it was simply lawless.
Now it's better. The matter of marriage has given her such a big bump that she can't even get up.
Zi Yan is not so optimistic, she keeps waiting and watching. A good girl from the Hou Mansion is a legitimate daughter, and she married the old man when she said she would marry him?
Of course, this kind of thing is not something they can comment on as slaves, and Zi Yan knows Li Man'er very well and knows that as long as the girl says it, she can't be wrong.
Only Grandma Wu was gearing up, as if she had taken a tonic elixir, and she looked particularly excited, "Girl, this old slave seems to be dreaming."
"how."
"Retribution!" Nanny Wu didn't dare to speak too loudly, she just said quietly: "This is retribution!"
Li Man'er just curled up the corner of his mouth slightly. How could there be so much retribution in this world? If there was, it would just be retaliation.
Mrs. Liang's frequent visits to the Tiedanhou Mansion cannot be hidden from anyone who cares.
The two families had never had any contact with each other, so why did they suddenly start moving together? Some people speculated that Mrs. Liang's return to her natal family was just a cover, and maybe she came just for the Li family.
Although the Li family is now close to the emperor, they are not as popular as fried chickens, right? Why are they fawned over by the Liang family?
What's more, it's not long after the funeral was held, and now he comes to visit, which is a bit strange.
The smart man immediately thought of the word marriage, but after thinking about it for a long time, he never thought that the Liang family would get married to that girl.
If you want to hold a happy event during the period of hot mourning, you have to do it within a hundred days, which is quite a rush...
Just when everyone was speculating, news suddenly came.
The Liang family and the Li family are going to have a happy event.
Liang Wendao wants to marry Li Zhaoer, the second girl of the Li family, to fill a house!
As soon as the news came out, it spread quickly throughout the capital as if it had wings.
Although Liang Wendao has a good family background, he is over thirty and seems to be two or three years younger than Li Shu. He had a wife before and several concubines in the house. He was also a lone star, so he was able to marry
Isn’t it too fantasy to be the direct daughter of the Li family?
No matter what people outside said, the marriage was actually settled with Mrs. Cui's approval.
It's also magical.
Naturally, Li Zhaoer was unwilling to marry. She felt that Cui's attitude after Guo's death was particularly hateful. She actually wanted to marry herself to a bad old man. This was simply an insult to her.
Li Zhaoer's last illusion about this family was shattered, and the beautiful memories of his childhood seemed to be buried underground with the Guo family, leaving only hatred.
