It's okay not to mention this, but Qiao Yurong's face immediately turned redder.
Before she could speak, Aunt Liu walked in, saluted them first, and then said with an ugly face: "Old lady, Madam, Mr. Zhao has sent someone here again."
Mr. Zhao? Again?
Qiao Yuyan looked at the expressions on the faces of the old lady and Mrs. Xu and couldn't help but feel a little confused. With Qiao Weisheng's brother's reputation and status, could anyone still dare to come and provoke them?
This is not boring...
Thinking of this, she had a flash of inspiration and immediately reacted. She couldn't help but stand up, "Mr. Zhao? Zhao Jinghai?!"
Looking at Qiao Yurong's face, she blushed even more.
Before she could ask, Mrs. Xu frowned and said, "Depending on who he is, if you disagree, you disagree. Fortunately, our master is also an upright minister of the third rank. Is it possible that he can still be bullied like this?"
"Mom, what's going on? Is it really Zhao Jinghai? Why did Jin Yiwei come to our house?! Could it be..."
The old lady sighed, "Then Commander Zhao wants to marry your sister."
One sentence almost blinded Qiao Yuyan.
"Who? Who to marry?"
Mrs. Xu also had an angry look on her face, "Who else could it be? That Zhao Jinghai, the King of Hell, wants to marry our family Rong'er."
Qiao Yuyan looked at Qiao Yurong, and sure enough she saw that her cheeks were as red as if they were bleeding, but there was a bit of sullenness in her brows.
"No... no, wait a minute, Zhao Jinghai is almost thirty, right? He... wants to take a concubine?!"
Qiao Yuyan's words stunned the two hostesses who were originally angry.
Mrs. Xu came to her senses and said quickly: "Where do you mean these words? With the current status of your father and your uncle, how could you ask your sister to become a concubine? This cannot be justified no matter how hard you say it! What are you thinking?
Gone?"
It was one thing for everyone to look sad, but Qiao Yuyan's words made the atmosphere in Ninghetang much more relaxed.
The old lady then said: "It's not a big deal to have a concubine. Zhao Jinghai will be twenty-eight this year. Although he is old, he does not have a wife. He first proposed two marriages, but in the end, he passed away before they even got married.
, plus he is working as a royal guard, who among the good families in the capital would dare to marry their daughter to him?"
Even Qiao Yuyan didn't believe these nonsense, so she couldn't help but sigh, "Bazi is so hard?!"
Mrs. Xu was very angry when she mentioned this, "Who said otherwise! Your sister will only turn fourteen in May! Seeing that your father and uncle are still trusted by the Holy Father, there is no doubt that they will be promoted soon.
How old is Brother Ping? He has already passed the government examination. Our family is prospering. How can your sister be from a good family? I am planning these days. I am afraid that the Zheng family, the Cui family, the Li family, and the Wang family will all be together soon.
It's about to start again.
These families have passed down poems and books from generation to generation, and the children of the clan are also strictly controlled. Over the years, they have been recharging their energy. How many good men they have, they plan to choose a good one for your sister from these families! Who would have thought that this living king of hell would suddenly come to the door."
Qiao Yuyan was stunned. She never expected that Zhao Jinghai would actually fall in love with Qiao Yurong.
She couldn't help but recall Zhao Jinghai's appearance in her mind, and then looked at her sister sitting opposite her.
I just felt that the picture in front of me was a little confusing.
Zhao Jinghai and Rong Er? What the hell are these?
"It can't be what the palace means, right?" Qiao Yuyan's words made the old lady and Mrs. Xu stunned.
"What?" The old lady was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then fell into deep thought.
"If that's the case, it seems somewhat possible!" Mrs. Xu thought for a while and said, "The Jin Yiwei always only obeys the orders of the Holy One..."
"You are following the orders of the Holy One, and you are not dictating life-long matters, are you?" The old lady said dissatisfiedly, and couldn't help but get lost in thought, "Besides, what are the reasons why the Holy Man allowed our family to marry Jin Yiwei?"
Seeing that her words made everyone in the family nervous, Qiao Yuyan quickly waved her hands and said, "I just said that, without any evidence."
After saying that, she asked again: "Looking like this, it's not the first time this person has come back. What did my father and second uncle say?"
After all, this was talking about her own marriage, and Qiao Yurong had already avoided it.
The old lady looked at her little granddaughter from a distance and sighed, "Of course he is not happy. Not to mention his reputation of being a wife-suppressant, even at this age, he is much worse!"
Mrs. Xu also said: "And that's Jin Yiwei! I don't know how many people's blood is on his hands. How can such a grown man know how to be considerate of women? The third girl is only fourteen years old after all."
Then he talked about Zhao Jinghai's family background, "My net worth is just that. I still have a mother to support at home, and my eldest brother's family has no future. I'm afraid I'll have to rely on my second wife to survive in the future..."
"Then who is entertaining outside now?" Qiao Yuyan suddenly remembered that Zhao Jinghai had sent someone over now. The whole family was sitting in Ninghe Hall, but there was no one entertaining outside.
"It's just that I sent a subordinate to deliver something. The housekeeper is waiting for me!" Mrs. Xu became a little irritated when she mentioned this, and turned to the old lady, "I'm afraid my second brother should talk to the person named Zhao about this matter.
My husband is very busy during this period, so I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of this matter."
The ladies were talking. When Qiao Yuyan saw that Qiao Yurong never came back, he was afraid that the girl was really embarrassed, so he asked to go find her.
As a result, he was not in his room, but said he had gone out.
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but laugh. After all, she was a grown up girl, so she still felt uncomfortable mentioning marriage.
We still have to ask Wen Tingyuan about this matter and ask him to ask what the palace means. If it is not the information revealed by the Holy One, then it will be easier to talk about it.
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but think about Zhao Jinghai sending her to Daxiangguo Temple.
In fact, secretly, she felt that this man was quite a gentleman, and he behaved appropriately and orderly.
only……
It's just that I feel it's inappropriate to tell my sister to such a person.
First of all, as Mrs. Xu said, it is a bit too rough. Although Qiao Yurong is not squeamish in temperament, she is also a girl raised in the inner courtyard of a wealthy family. I am afraid she will not be able to withstand such a man.
If they don't get along, they will inevitably suffer losses.
However, this matter still has to wait for Wen Tingyuan's scientific examination to pass.
Qiao Yuyan held the book in her hand, but she was thinking about these things in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, even Qiao Yurong was discussing marriage.
Back in the mansion, when Qiao Yuning was fighting with him over Wen Liang, she seemed to be still a little girl.
What you experience will really have a great impact on a person's growth.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of another marriage. Anyway, Wen Tingyuan was not at home these days, and she happened to be there to arrange the match.
After saying that, he called Qixi in, "What do you say over there?"
