"Although it's a bit early, but I'm one year older than you, isn't this already an engagement? It's almost done!" Qiao Yuyan felt that it was a little weird to tell Qiao Yurong about this, but she still wanted to talk to her first.
.
Qiao Yurong's answer made Qiao Yuyan almost spit out the tea in her mouth.
"Is it appropriate for you to say such things to a child?"
"Child... child?!" Qiao Yuyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then said helplessly, "Okay, okay, then I also want to ask this child who is already quite young, have you ever thought about it yourself?"
"What have you been thinking about?"
"What kind of person have you thought about marrying in the future? What kind of family background, what kind of character, etc."
When Qiao Yurong heard this, she thought about it seriously, "I didn't think too much about it, but it must not be the kind of family with a lot of miscellaneous people. When you go out on weekdays, you are stared at by many pairs of eyes. Then
I'm going to be exhausted.
It's just like your future husband's family. Although the sister-in-law is not bad, they have too many families and I really don't like them. I don't know why Qiao Yuning wanted to marry her so much in the past. "
Qiao Yuyan lightly tapped her head, "You are brother-in-law, and the more you call me, the more pleasant you are."
Qiao Yurong pointed to the notebook she brought today, "Isn't that right?!"
Originally, Qiao Yuyan just wanted to inquire about it, but after chatting for a few words, Qiao Yurong took it to heart.
Now that Yao's health is getting better, it seems that she has slowly recovered from the blow suffered by the Yao family. According to her mother's temperament in the past, it is impossible to say that she will be in a hurry to find her a husband.
It's better to talk to your mother about this first.
So when chatting, she talked about the Wen family, saying that although the Wen family was good in many ways, she didn't like such a wealthy family, and she expressed her inner thoughts by the way.
Yao didn't take it seriously at first, but Qiao'er, who had been waiting on the side, smiled and said after Qiao Yurong left: "Don't look at us three girls acting like a child on weekdays, but it turns out that there is something in her heart.
What are your own thoughts?"
Yao was stunned, "What do you think?"
"Huh?" Qiao'er looked at Yao in confusion, "Isn't the third lady here to talk to the wife about marriage? It sounds like I have prepared the wife mentally first, letting you know what she wants.
What about your marriage!”
Yao was stunned by what she said, "How can you talk about this properly?"
"Didn't the third girl just come from the eldest girl's place? It seems that the sisters started talking about the eldest girl's marriage, so we girls came to remind my wife."
Yao, who originally didn't take what her daughter said to heart, frowned and thought for a while before saying, "You mean, Rong'er came to me after discussing it with the eldest girl.
?”
Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, then hesitated, "That's what I said. Come to think of it, this girl who has not yet left the court, how can she talk about marriage? It's probably gossip between sisters!"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yao became a little unhappy after hearing this, "She is very calculating. She is afraid that her sisters in the family will be better than her. Now, among the three sisters, who can compare with her in beauty?"
Needless to say, Sister Ning, it was because she had gone astray on her own. Why, even though she was a sister with a deep relationship, didn't she expect anything better?
I married into a good family, but when I turned around I instigated her to find a commoner to marry, right? We have to fight over this!"
Qiao'er was so frightened by her sudden anger that she didn't dare to say a word. She only dared to pour a cup of tea for Yao. After Yao's anger calmed down a little, she said: "Madam, don't be too angry. Maybe it's just our girl's fault."
idea……"
"What does Rong'er know? She is still a child and has been hanging out with Qiao Yuyan during this period. Of course she believes whatever others say!"
As she said that, she stood up and said, "No, it's okay for me to be pushed down by the eldest brother in every aspect. Should my daughter still be like this? They don't want to see my daughter flourish, so I have to show off!
You go and make a list for me of the young men of the right age in Beijing who are not yet married, and I must choose a good marriage for our Rong'er."
"This..." Qiao'er looked at Yao with some worry, "Is this... too early?"
"How early!" Yao said in a deep voice immediately, "Isn't she Qiao Yuyan only one year older than me, Rong'er? Now we are halfway through the three books and six rites, and I, Rong'er, have just started to look at each other, why are we so different?
Is it early?"
Little did Qiao Yurong know that just a few casual conversations with Qiao Yuyan would actually make her mother become serious.
However, this matter could not concern her for the time being. Instead, she was more interested in Yuan Xueqing's matter.
Gossip is a natural thing, not to mention that this is the case and the person is known to me.
And she was the only one paying attention to Yuan Xueqing's affairs in the capital. Many people were craning their necks, waiting to see the joke.
Yuan Xueqing also knows that people in the world are like this. They can put on a smile even if they don't have any friendship. Once something happens, they will express sympathy and comfort on the surface, but secretly want to laugh.
But at this time, she couldn't care less about what people outside thought. Just the matters at home made her miserable.
Her father has no real ability, but he really has a temper when it comes to this so-called rule.
"I have been an official for so many years. I have worked very hard, walking on thin ice, trying hard to maintain our family and maintain my dignity. Today I asked you to completely defeat me. You still have the honor to come back. Why don't you die in the street?
It will also save your reputation as an innocent daughter."
These were the first words her father said when she entered the door.
Yuan Xueqing looked at him expressionlessly, then knelt down.
Her mother burst into tears at that time and scolded her father, "My daughter has suffered such great injustice. If you don't think about seeking justice for her, why are you scolding her? Did she bring this on?"
You cherish your good reputation, but when something goes wrong, you will only act in a cowardly manner and will not go out and come up with your own ideas. This is embarrassing to others. If you have a good reputation, people will only say that you are cowardly!"
A few words made Master Yuan so angry that his beard trembled, and the two immediately began to scold each other. The aunt on the side looked at the opportunity and fanned the flames.
Seeing her parents getting louder and louder, the maids and ladies outside seemed to have their heads lowered, but their ears were stretched out one by one, wanting to hear the scandalous affairs of the master's family, which made Yuan Xueqing feel that her heart was severely blocked.
She simply got up and went to her yard.
Only then did Master Yuan of her family speak up, "Where are you going? You don't have any sense of shame after something like this happened."
"My daughter felt ashamed, so she went back home and closed the door to think about the past."
After saying that, he took the maid and left without looking back. When he returned to his house, he immediately got into the clean room, only to find that his purse was missing.
