"If Miss Ying is interested, I have quite a few nephews, and they are all very good people." Mrs. Tongzhi's heart became warm.
The Ying family brought things out in the name of a young lady. There must be something going on with the Ying family, right?
Despite this, she brought a lot of things.
Even if some people cannot marry themselves, they always feel that they have to win over their own people.
As for that kind of wealth, if you can hold it in the palm of your hand, it should be pretty good.
It would be best if you can use it for your own use.
That's why Mrs. Tongzhi specifically asked about this matter.
If her father is not here, what else can they do to deal with it?
Gu Jinyan thought about it for a while, still thinking about how to answer.
Mother You was extremely anxious. These people spoke in a roundabout way, but she could tell that Miss Ying seemed to be being targeted.
"Let's not talk about marriage or not, let's not talk about it this time. Our elders are not here, so how can we decide on these things?"
You's mother is watching over her own son, how can you give them an advantage?
Say no to anything.
Gu Jinyan didn't feel comfortable answering this question, so he looked at the ladies and nodded and smiled.
Mother You said a little unreasonably: "We, the You family, should discuss this matter with our benefactor."
These ladies didn't care about her.
It's really not pleasant to have a quarrel with a country woman.
As long as the meaning is reached, the girl can listen to it.
"It's getting late, we should go back." Mother You picked up Gu Jinyan and started to leave. She was afraid that if she stayed here too long, her son's wife would fly away.
I shouldn't have taken her out today.
Just because I brought her out, others took notice of me.
"Mrs. Tongzhi, look at that..." Some people were quite dissatisfied and specifically spoke to Mrs. Tongzhi.
"That's all." Mrs. Tongzhi waved her hand, not intending to argue: "Let her be. Why bother to care about people from the countryside? It's rare to come into contact with them, but it's rare for Mr. You to bring them here this time.
, give me some face."
Mrs. Tongzhi’s hands were clenched into fists, and her face was full of dissatisfaction.
But it can't happen.
The master has always told you to be kind when doing things in Qizhou Mansion and not to make things difficult for others. Especially some minor officials in Qizhou Mansion should be more tolerant.
Don't affect major events.
She has always been doing things according to her master's orders.
So I can only endure it.
"That's right, that's all. We can't argue with a country woman, but Miss Ying is quite interesting. It would be too unfair for her to live in a country woman's house." The hostess' wife said.
"It's just a temporary stay, it won't last a few days." Another lady quickly continued.
The ladies looked at each other, and they all had their own concerns. No one knew what the other was thinking.
It's just that for some things, everyone has to rely on their own abilities.
You Mu left with her people, but no one cared about her and just let them go.
Just when I was preparing to go back, I met a drunken young man on the road. He glanced at Gu Jinyan and Qing Ling. They had already walked a few steps, but couldn't help but look back a few more times: "We don't know each other, you guys."
Whose family is this? How come I haven’t seen him before? He looks pretty good. When did Qizhou Prefecture have such a famous person?”
Mother You looked at this man and said, "We are the family members of the clerk You Mingxuan, and we are going back."
You Mingxuan's servant said a few words to him.
This man understood clearly.
"A small clerk." He said with some disdain: "How did this young lady think of defecting to him? There is no future in joining him. It would be better for the young lady to defect to this young master, who will have a bright future in the future."
"Who is this?" Gu Jinyan asked proactively.
"My uncle is the magistrate of Qizhou Prefecture. Of course, he is also the nephew of the governor of Jiangnan. How about that?" He announced his family name and wanted to see how this young lady would react.
Gu Jinyan was slightly surprised subconsciously. After being slightly surprised, he realized what he was doing and quickly showed a shocked expression.
He was indeed satisfied.
Mother You felt relieved, why was she thinking about it again?
She, Mingxuan, is not married yet.
Gu Jinyan looked at him and smiled.
The alarm bell rang in You's mother's heart: "Sir, we have to go back."
Pretending to pull people away.
Gu Jinyan saw that this man was already drunk and he was still at the magistrate's house, so he followed You Mu away.
"Wait." He blocked their way and looked at Gu Jinyan: "You can think about it slowly, but is this your maid?"
"How about sending me off to you?" he said with a smile, looking at Qing Ling with lustful eyes.
This maid girl is really good. If he is in the mood today, he can have a taste of it.
Gu Jinyan looked at him.
I was already dissatisfied in my heart, but it didn't show on my face.
When You Mu saw that she wanted a servant, she simply ignored her, since they were all servants anyway.
"No." Gu Jinyan refused.
"Presumptuous!" The boy beside him hurriedly stepped forward, looking like he wanted to embarrass others: "This is Master Jiang!"
"I don't have the bond of sale of this maid. I don't give it away as I want." Gu Jinyan replied, but in the end she still kept her sharpness.
If she hadn't come to Jiangnan with something important to do at this time, she would have slapped this man's mouth.
Seeing this, Master Jiang became more confident: "Then tell me yourself, are you willing to follow me and enjoy a life of glory and wealth?"
Qing Ling shook her head.
"Women who follow me are always given status. You don't want it?" Young Master Jiang was a little angry.
Qing Ling shook her head.
"I have something to do when I get back." Gu Jinyan excused herself.
You Mingxuan followed him now, looking a little drunk: "I've seen Master Jiang, let's go first."
Taking Gu Jinyan with them, they left first.
He left almost in a hurry.
You's mother was a little worried: "Mingxuan, what should we do? That person has such a powerful background, will something happen?"
Then he looked at Gu Jinyan with a bit of resentment: "I'm just a servant, why can't I give it to you? Doesn't this implicate us?"
"I've told you before, what's wrong with me, Jin Zhi? Although I'm not that beautiful, I can't give birth to trouble, and my body is strong. I can have as many children as I want. You have to hang around this person. I'll watch.
He is just a restless person. He promised to send silk and satin today, but what if the silk and satin cannot be delivered?" Jin Zhi said angrily.
You Mingxuan glanced at them warningly.
Then he looked at Gu Jinyan's face.
"Go back first." You Mingxuan said.
You's mother muttered, and Jin Zhi didn't dare to say too much.
Got back home.
Gu Jinyan asked on the road: "How difficult is Master Jiang?"
