Chapter two hundred and thirty-eight, how do you know that no one has mentioned pro?
"Sister, Mr. Xu has returned to Beijing." Yu Xijiao looked at Yu Zhuqing's face and said softly.
"You...how did you know?" Yu Zhuqing asked subconsciously, holding the handkerchief tighter.
"Sister, don't ask me how I know this. You just said that you want to meet Mr. Xu first?" Yu Xijiao's eyes fell on Yu Zhuqing's face.
Seeing Yu Zhuqing's face turn red, her head lowered, and then her eyes became visibly pale again, she finally shook her head: "Young Master Xu and I...were just taking care of the friendship between my biological father back then. In fact...it's really nothing."
"What if there is anything?" Yu Xijiao looked at Yu Zhuqing and asked quietly.
"You...what did you say?" Yu Zhuqing raised his head suddenly, his eyes excited.
"Sister, it's already like this, why are you still covering it up?" Yu Xijiao sighed, "Can't you fight for yourself once?"
"Third sister, I...what qualifications do I have..." Yu Zhuqing said sadly, tightening and relaxing the handkerchief in her hand, repeating this process.
"Why is the eldest sister not qualified? The eldest sister is the eldest daughter of the father. She is the eldest daughter recognized by the father. Even if the eldest sister is just an adopted daughter, as long as the father admits it, she is the eldest daughter. The eldest sister has a good temper and is dignified and gentle. How can she not be worthy of others?
, it should be that others are not qualified to match you."
Yu Xijiao spoke word by word, speaking very slowly, as if every word struck Yu Zhuqing's heart, making her feel numb and tingling, giving her a little more courage.
"But... I have a bad reputation, and no one has ever proposed marriage to me." Yu Zhuqing still shook her head, her chest overflowing with emotion, "I know that Third Sister is doing it for my own good, but I... really don't deserve it.
"
When I said this, my eyes turned red.
"Sister, how do you know that no one has proposed marriage to you?" Yu Xijiao asked.
Yu Zhuqing was stunned, "Isn't this something that everyone knows?"
"Who are you? My eldest sister has never left the mansion. The so-called everyone refers to the people in the mansion. If the people around Madam say so, others will naturally say the same." Yu Xi smiled sweetly.
Yu Zhuqing looked at Yu Xijiao in astonishment.
"Sister, don't you think this is the case?" Yu Xijiao continued.
"Will... will it be like this?" Yu Zhuqing opened her lips, and it took a while to find her voice.
"Why not?" Yu Xijiao raised a beautiful smile, "What extravagant wishes does the eldest sister still have for Madam?"
Yu Zhuqing didn't speak. His face was frightened at first, and then became confused. Finally, his eyes finally focused on one point. Looking at Yu Xijiao in front of him, a smile slowly bloomed on his face, like a flower blooming slowly after a storm.
"Third sister, is this what you are like?" Her voice was soft, but her eyes were burning, looking at Yu Xijiao, longing for her affirmation again.
"Of course it's like this. The eldest sister is so good. Even if the eldest sister has an average reputation, people will come to her door to ask for marriage. How is it possible that no one comes to her door?" Yu Xijiao knew what Yu Zhuqing wanted now, her lips curved slightly,
She smiled brightly, but spoke very slowly, almost word for word: "As long as my father recognizes the name of the eldest daughter of the Hou family, that is her name."
"Third sister, it turns out I'm not that... bad." Yu Zhuqing's eyes were excited and her eyes were red.
"Eldest sister is never bad, eldest sister is the best." Yu Xijiao said with certainty.
As if some heavy shackles had been opened, Yu Zhuqing felt relaxed. Although his eyes were red, they were glowing and he was no longer as dull and cautious as before.
Yu Xijiao stood up, reached out and hugged Yu Zhuqing gently, whispering in her ear: "Sister, you are very good, you have always been very good, as good as my cousin in Jiangnan."
"Am I the same as those girls from the Xie family?" Yu Zhuqing hugged Yu Xi with her backhand - the Xie family's legitimate daughter, even in the capital, she has heard of them. They are all noble daughters of aristocratic families with excellent reputations. Compared with ordinary aristocratic families,
A daughter's reputation is better.
"Just as good." Yu Xijiao affirmed again.
Yu Zhuqing didn't say anything, but hugged Yu Xijiao hard.
Sitting down again, Yu Zhuqing used a handkerchief to press the eye marks at the corners of her eyes.
"Sister, what do you think of Young Master Xu from General Jingyuan's Mansion?" Yu Xijiao picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down and asked with a low smile.
Yu Zhuqing bit her lip, and finally said shyly: "Very good."
His voice was low but he clearly stated what he was thinking. His face immediately turned red with embarrassment. He lowered his head and pulled at the veil. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Although Mr. Xu is good, in my heart, the eldest sister is worthy of a better one." Yu Xijiao joked.
"What's better? Mr. Xu is very good." Yu Zhuqing said angrily.
"Sister, do you want to meet Mr. Xu?" Yu Xi asked with a sweet smile.
The redness on Yu Zhuqing's face faded slightly. After being silent for a while, he shook his head and raised his head to look at Yu Xijiao: "Third sister, fate is destined, there is no need to force it."
"What the eldest sister said is that if Young Master Xu is really serious, he will definitely send someone to come to ask for his hand in marriage." Yu Xijiao comforted her, her eyes dimming where Yu Zhuqing couldn't see her.
Although she asked this, she also knew that the eldest sister would not go. The eldest sister had always abided by her nurturing principles, so how could she go to see Mr. Xu in private?
General Jingyuan was a good soldier, and Mr. Xu was also a good man. However, in her previous life, she heard her grandmother talk about General Jingyuan's wife, who was not necessarily good.
The purpose of this visit is to listen to the eldest sister's thoughts. If the eldest sister is interested, she will secretly investigate. If the eldest sister can have a good relationship, it will naturally be the best, but it still depends on whether Mr. Xu really has the intention...
Shopkeeper Ning and Mingyue got into the carriage together. When the carriage turned out of the house, Shopkeeper Ning still looked puzzled and reached out to lift the curtains to see which house this house belonged to.
"What do you know, little girl? What do you mean by asking us to go back first? Where should we go back? Where is your girl?" Shopkeeper Ning didn't intend to listen to the little girl. He stretched out his hand as he spoke.
His hand was slapped hard, and shopkeeper Ning hurriedly stopped his hand in pain, looking at Mingyue with an angry look on his face: "I told you not to reach out, why don't you listen? You don't want to kill yourself, and don't hurt our girl."
These words were shocking. Shopkeeper Ning was angry and hurt: "You can't look anywhere. Could it be that it's the prince's palace?"
Mingyue rolled her eyes: "If you don't know, don't look at it, maybe."
Shopkeeper Ning laughed angrily and pointed out of the car: "The place just now was still the palace, and you girls still know the stewards of the palace? What you said seems to be true. They have already been kicked out, so what else can you say about the palace?
,Prince’s Mansion!”
"Anyway, just don't look around. If something happens, no one can protect you, and our girls haven't been kicked out. It's you who are kicked out. You were kicked out by the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. The good stewards of the Hou Mansion are not doing their job properly. Go.
Be the shopkeeper." Mingyue sneered.
"Hey, girl, can you speak properly?" Shopkeeper Ning said angrily.
"Why don't you speak properly? You don't have any discernment, and you blame me." Mingyue glared and retorted sharply.
Shopkeeper Ning was so angry that he almost lost his temper. He pointed at Mingyue and couldn't even speak for a while.
"Okay, we're here!" The carriage suddenly stopped and the coachman's voice came out.
"Get out of the car!" The two people who were bickering paused. Mingyue reacted quickly and stretched her feet to the side to make way.
"This is going to piss me off." Shopkeeper Ning said angrily, stood up and walked out.
"You talk a lot." Mingyue said coldly.
Shopkeeper Ning was so angry that he wanted to stop and argue with Mingyue, but he also knew that it was wrong to argue with a little girl. The situation was unclear and he had to go down to explore the situation.
After getting off the carriage, shopkeeper Ning recognized his surroundings and found that he was on the street to the right of Xiuzhuang. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to see that the carriage was already moving forward.
Shopkeeper Ning stood there and thought about what happened just now. He always felt that there was something going on here, so he hurried back to Jinyi Xiu Manor, found Aunt Li, and inquired about Yu Xijiao's master and servant in detail.
Aunt Li only said that she came to visit last time, just because shopkeeper Ning was not here, so she came again today, and unexpectedly she met a rich girl who wanted to buy a shop. She may have money in her family, so she said she would buy this shop no matter what.
Xiuzhuang, I don’t know about the other Aunt Li.
"You don't have to bring people like this to me in the future." Shopkeeper Ning said with a gloomy face after hearing Aunt Li's words.
"Didn't you say that you are looking for a seller? Have you really decided?" Aunt Li was not afraid of him and gave him a cold look.
"We have already looked for it. How could there be no one selling the embroidery shop? Don't do this in the future." Shopkeeper Ning said angrily.
"Isn't it true that Xiuzhuang's business is losing money? Why do so many people come to ask?" Aunt Li said angrily, "Isn't it because of what you want to do?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shopkeeper Ning shook his sleeves and yelled angrily.
"Who knows? It takes one day at a time. You clearly said before that you haven't found the right one yet. Today this girl offered a big price, and you said that you already have a buyer. You are not willing to pay more for this girl. If you say you have no selfish motives,
, I really don’t believe it.” Aunt Li sneered.
She now has the confidence in her heart that she is not afraid of Shopkeeper Ning. No matter how powerful Shopkeeper Ning is, he is just a deputy who does nothing. Aunt Li is still running the business in this store.
"What do you mean by this? Are you still doubting Mrs. Hou's decision?" Shopkeeper Ning said with an unkind expression.
"I don't dare to doubt Mrs. Hou, I just doubt you." Aunt Li said, turned and left with a sneer, "Who knows if some people are selfish and deliberately don't sell at high prices. If Mrs. Hou knew about it, she would definitely reprimand the person selling things.
It’s a joke to be afraid of high prices.”
Shopkeeper Ning looked at Aunt Li with a gloomy face. She had been holding back her anger today and tried hard to suppress her anger. It seemed that Li really didn't know anything and wanted to sell it at a high price.
However, this matter must be reported to Madam Hou first. If something really happens, Madam Hou can prepare it early. With this thought in mind, shopkeeper Ning put away his depression, turned around and strode out of the store. In any case, this matter must be dealt with
Madam Hou, please report this. There can be no mistakes in this matter.
