Chapter two hundred and eighty-fifth, betrothed, ask for something
Yu Zhuqing's marriage was arranged extremely smoothly. General Jingyuan's palace invited a matchmaker, and Mrs. Zhou and Yu Ruiwen received it together. After exchanging Geng Tie, the matter was settled.
The two families had originally negotiated, but now it was just a formality.
Mrs. Jingyuan Hou still had some objections to Qian's absence, but after hearing that Mrs. Zhou was already Marquis Xuanping's equal wife, she swallowed these objections.
Yu Ruiwen liked Xu Cheng very much, and even stayed with him for a meal, and even asked Yu Zhuqing to come over. The two parties met again.
Since the marriage has been arranged, it is nothing to meet once in a while. Yu Ruiwen specially gave them a chance to let Yu Zhuqing accompany Xu Cheng for a walk in the garden.
There is a maid and a mother-in-law accompanying me, and we are engaged twice, so it is not too rude.
Yu Zhuqing wore a newly made sky-green floor-length dress, covered with a blue dark-flowered cloud shoulder bag, and her appearance was dignified with a touch of charm.
She has always been quiet, has a peaceful temperament, and has a gentle and gentle smile that makes people feel comfortable. Today is a great time to get engaged, and the other party is Xu Cheng, whom she has always admired. Yu Zhuqing is rarely uneasy, although her attitude is still generous, but
Her face turned red and she was very shy.
"If there is anything that mother has not done well, you can tell me privately in the future, and there is no need to worry about what will happen to mother!" Xu Cheng now understood his mother's thoughts, and took advantage of this meeting at Xuanping Hou Mansion to specifically tell Yu Zhuqing
, just afraid that she would feel the slightest grievance.
"In the future...are we really going to the border?" Yu Zhuqing nodded lightly and said softly.
"Yes, we will go to the border. We will leave after we get married. Originally, I was going to go to the military general route. My father asked me to find a good time to go to the border. Now it happens that I can take you with me. However, the border is bitterly cold, so you may be wronged.
"Xu Cheng said with a serious face.
This was his plan, and he had written to Yu Zhuqing long ago without any concealment.
He would not leave Yu Zhuqing in the capital to be tortured by his mother. If he left, he would inevitably take his wife away. After a few years, his mother's attitude changed, and he could let Yu Zhuqing come back.
"I'm not wronged." Yu Zhuqing said softly, her head lowered, but her heart was sweet.
She is not afraid of hardship. When she was in the nunnery, she could endure all the hardships. Now that she can be with the person she cares about, how can she be in pain?
Seeing Yu Zhuqing like this, Xu Cheng felt softer and softer in his heart. He had wanted to marry Yu Zhuqing for a long time and had never given up. Even if he was rejected again and again by his mother, he still persisted. Now his wish has come true, and his face
He couldn't hide his smile, and his originally calm temperament could not help but become happy at this time.
"My father has a house on the border. There is no mistress in the house. There is only a mother-in-law in charge of things. She was sent by my mother. You will be the mistress after you go there. I have an official position before and can arrange your life well when I go to the border.
In daily life, I will never make you feel wronged."
Xu Cheng couldn't help but tell all his plans. In front of the woman he loved, he said these things very naturally. His eyes fell on his fiancée, full of joy.
Being looked at by Xu Cheng like this, Yu Zhuqing's face turned even redder. She pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said in a low voice: "You can make the decision, I can do it."
"The marriage between the two families may be arranged in a hurry." Xu Cheng added.
"No problem." Yu Zhuqing said, her marriage has never been settled, but in order to make Yu Ruiwen feel that she has always been interested in her, Qian had prepared some dowry, although it was not a large amount, thinking that if she went to the border, it would actually be
You don't need too many things, and the items you have right now are just right.
"If you have any request, just say it." His fiancée didn't ask for anything, she just listened to him. When Xu Cheng was filled with joy, he especially wanted to do something for his fiancée. His heart was full of warmth and love, and he always wanted to do something for his fiancée.
I can't find a place to vent my feelings, my eyes are filled with emotion.
"It's nothing." Yu Zhuqing pinched the handkerchief and said.
"There must be something, please tell me." Xu Cheng urged softly, doing nothing, always feeling unsure, as if the happiness in front of him was not so real.
Although this marriage is going quickly now, he has been thinking about it and praying for it for several years.
Now that all my dreams have come true, it is really difficult to suppress the excitement and excitement in my heart.
Urged by him again and again, Yu Zhuqing's hand suddenly stopped, his eyes blinked, he raised his head and finally looked at Xu Cheng, and pursed his lips.
"Is there something difficult?" Looking at Yu Zhuqing's look, Xu Cheng knew that she must be in trouble and asked hurriedly.
"There is something... I just don't know if I can trouble you..." Yu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
"Your business is my business. If you have any trouble, don't bother me. We will still be a family from now on. Why are you being so polite?"
Xu Cheng slapped his chest, and his fiancée finally spoke, but she couldn't be scared back.
After so many years, the two of them have grown up together as childhood sweethearts. Xu Cheng is very clear about Yu Zhuqing's temperament. When he saw Yu Zhuqing's predicament, he was helpless, but now he is Yu Zhuqing's fiancé. If anything happens, he can help naturally.
Seeing him like this, Yu Zhuqing gave up her scruples and talked about her store in a low voice, from the initial loss of the store to the later sales of the store, and how she couldn't bear to let the old man left behind by her biological father and mother suffer injustice and let him go again.
When she arrived at the unsold shops, it caused a chain reaction, and one shop after another was dragged away. When she left home to go to the nunnery, Qian asked her for the contracts of the last two shops...
The matter finally came to Ning. Her father sued Ning. After Ning was imprisoned in the Yamen for a few days, she came back. The matter fell on a steward named Ning. It is said that Ning sent him to help him sell his shop.
He is the person who caused all the troubles...
After the matter was finished, Xu Cheng shook his head: "Such a big thing and such a huge sum of money cannot be accomplished by a steward."
"The third sister said the same thing. The third sister also brought me a case file that day, saying that my father went to the Yamen to copy it. It said that Ning had brought over the banknotes from the store before. At that time,
Also present was Mrs. Qian’s personal wife, Aunt Yu.”
Yu Zhuqingliu frowned, "Third sister said, this matter may not be settled yet. From this point of view, my shops have been sold. Even if these shops were still in the hands of Madam at that time, they were just poor."
It was the last formality, and the Xuanping Hou Mansion took the money but did not give it to the shop, which is illegal."
When Yu Xijiao told her about this, Yu Zhuqing was also very anxious. It was something left by her biological father and mother, so she had no choice but to agree.
"Third sister is still a child, working hard for my affairs. I am the elder sister and should take care of third sister." Yu Zhuqing said softly, with pity in her voice. Compared to herself, third sister looks more delicate and younger.
, but Yu Zhuqing felt very sorry because he was often tired from his own affairs.
"Let me handle this matter!" Xu Cheng said, looking at Yu Zhuqing.
"You?" Yu Zhuqing looked at him in surprise.
"I already know the cause of this matter, and I also know what will happen next. Ning is unwilling to be demoted to a concubine, and will definitely pursue you and Marquis Xuanping, and may even resort to very drastic measures, which will damage your reputation.
, the best way is to handle the matter secretly."
Xu Cheng could think of taking Yu Zhuqing out of the capital to prevent Yu Zhuqing from being tortured by his mother, so how could he not think of the best way to do this?
Before Ning took action, he first found the buyers in these shops and either gave them a sum of money or asked them to change their story. Xu Cheng didn't believe that those banknotes were really taken out by these people.
Just borrowing a name to smooth things over in the store.
This kind of thing is actually quite understandable. Xu Cheng even felt that Mrs. Xuanpinghou’s wife, Qian, was unclean. This matter must have been her handiwork. Although Ningshi was hateful, how could she have caused trouble if not for Mrs. Xuanpinghou’s permission?
When it comes to the Ning family, no matter how powerful the Ning family is, she is nothing more than a side branch lady from Zhengyuan Hou Mansion.
I can't reach Xuanpinghou Mansion.
What happened in the store was more like the kind of scheming fairy jump. However, unlike the fairy jump, the person who plotted against Yu Zhuqing was someone she knew. This required a suitable springboard. After all, the store would fall to Mrs. Xuanpinghou again in the future.
When it is in Qian's hands, it will inevitably be criticized and even taken as a direct accusation.
Mrs. Xuanpinghou needed a justifiable reason to transfer Yu Zhuqing's property into her own hands.
This requires a few middlemen to first transfer the store to the name of these favorite people. After a period of time, they can buy the store back for various reasons and realize the change of ownership of the store.
Yu Zhuqing was sold and bought by others. When Mrs. Xuanpinghou Qian bought it back with her own money, no one could say anything to her. Even by that time, Yu Zhuqing had already disappeared or was not married in the capital. Of course,
He may be locked inside the inner courtyard, and not even a little bit of news can get in.
Even if there is some controversy at this time, it is not enough to explain Qian's deviation. Besides, she can also produce the certificate she bought from others.
These shops were in debt due to Yu Zhuqing's own decision-making. Then Qian took them back, reorganized them, reopened them, and even made a profit. This was all justified. The only blame was that Yu Zhuqing didn't know how to do business and was giving blind orders, so that his own shops were ruined.
deficit.
After thinking about this, Xu Cheng also showed anger on his face. This Mrs. Xuanpinghou was really not a good person, and he felt more and more pity for Yu Zhuqing's difficulties under Qian's hands.
"Leave this matter to me." Xu Cheng said.
"Third sister was also investigating this matter before. If you help me... I have to talk to third sister to see if she needs anything else." Yu Zhuqing suggested softly.
"Okay!" Xu Cheng agreed and pointed to the pavilion in front: "How about we just sit here and wait for Miss Yu to come over?"
