Chapter 96 Proposal 2

Mrs Huang sent Mrs. Zhou away. As soon as she came back to sit down, her daughter Xu Jie came in from the back screen. Mrs. Huang looked at her and said with a smile, "You were hiding in the back just now?"

"Well," Xu Jie sat sideways on the edge of the couch: "The former son was at Zhu's house. Mrs. Zhou looked at the flowers on my clothes. I said that it was painted by herself, so she asked me to draw a few pictures for her. I was just free yesterday and had already drawn it. I heard that she came and wanted to bring it to her. She went to the back to hear what she said about marriage. I didn't dare to come in." Xu Jie explained softly and carefully. Mrs. Huang took the flower from Xu Jie's hand and looked at it. She rolled it up again and smiled and said, "Send someone to send it to her."

With that, she called a woman in and ordered her to send it to Mrs. Zhou. Xu Jie looked left and right, looked back at Mrs. Huang and said, "Are you going to kiss Brother Jiu?"

"Well," Mrs. Huang's heart moved slightly, looked at her daughter and asked with a smile, "If you are asked to choose, are you willing to be sister-in-law or the third wife of the Li family?"

"Three ladies." Xu Jie replied without hesitation. Mrs. Huang looked at her daughter in surprise and surprise. Xu Jie's face was red when she looked at by her mother. She whispered, "Sister Tian is so good, okay..." Xu Jie didn't know how to describe it for a moment: "It's like the moon in the sky. It's good that people can't get close. In front of her, I don't even say anything. Sometimes I don't understand what she says. I still like the Third Lady.

Mrs Huang pulled her daughter, hugged her arms and patted her, "What you said is that Sister Tian is so good."

In the evening, the family had dinner and served tea. Mrs. Mrs. Huang sent everyone away and told Xue about Mrs. Xu's marriage proposal and Mrs. Zhou's words that came to pass on today. Then she discussed, "This matter has to be heard from you. The third wife of the Li family is not as good as Sister Tian. I just think Sister Tian is too good. Our brother Jing is not worthy. Besides, if it is the eldest son, the more capable the daughter-in-law is, the better, but Brother Jing is the youngest, and it's not good if the daughter-in-law is too capable.

"Well," Xu Xue thought for a moment and said, "Brother Jing is mediocre. Whether it is marriage or a future, what he wants should not be too high. Brave Lord," Xu sighed with emotion: "At the beginning, I was with him in the Qingfeng Club, and we often talked about poetry together. Although his talent is limited, he is rarely loyal, enthusiastic and extremely The eldest brother's demeanor, I remember that he loves his younger brother the most and is most proud of this younger brother. He is lack of talent. As soon as he arrives at the couplet, he is at the bottom. Every time before drinking, he has to say, 'If the fourth brother is here, you can't beat him together!' Later... Alas," Xu Xue sighed heavily, "I'm afraid that he is also a pond fish. If you think the third lady is good, it's the third lady. With the nature of the Duke of Yong, this child must also be loyal. Besides, the Yang family in southern Sichuan has a good style, and the little lady raised is not much worse."

"I think so too." Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Then I will let people combine the eight characters tomorrow. If it's appropriate, it's settled."

The next day, after the eight characters were put together, Mrs. Huang personally came to tell Mrs. Xu about the Yongguo Mansion and Mrs. Zhou about the mention of the third wife, and explained in detail the meaning of herself and Xue Xue. Although Mrs. Xu was a little annoyed, after listening to Mrs. Huang's explanation, she couldn't pick out anything wrong. This marriage was originally between the two families. What can the two families say if they are willing to do it?

Mrs. Xu sent Mrs. Huang away. Thinking about Li Tian, she sighed for a long time, took Yu Yaofang to Qingtong Courtyard in person, told Li Tian about the marriage proposal, comforted her for a long time, and then went out of the corner door.

Li Tian sent Mrs. Xu away, returned to the upper room, and fell on the couch. She only felt that her limbs were weak and she couldn't move. She was dizzy and didn't want to hear or think about anything. She just wanted to lie down like this until the end of the world.

Yiluo, Qingzhi, Yue Niang and others surrounded the couch and looked at Li Tian with great concern. Yue Niang came forward and patted Li Tian's back gently and said, "This is his Xu family's blessing. Don't be sad."

"Five ladies, don't you often say that getting married is a fate, one should follow the fate and the other should be seen." Yingluo also hurriedly comforted. Li Tian moved her fingers feebly and buried her head in the pillow and said vaguely, "You go out first. Let me be alone and go out first."

Yiluo, Qingzhi and Yue Niang, look at me, I look at you, how dare you go out, but I dare not talk more. Li Tian lay down for half an hour before slowly sitting up with her arm and ordering, "I'm fine. I'll go to the front yard and ask the third lady back. She has got a good marriage, and she doesn't have to come to Qingtongyuan to socialize in the future."

The three did not dare to say more. Qingzhi looked at him and turned to Mr. Shui's yard.

"Let's put up with this?" Yue Niang saw that Li Tian recovered and sat on the edge of the couch. She said with an indignant face. Li Tian was served by Yingluo, Yuye and others, took a cup of tea, drank half a cup with her eyes down, and then looked up at Yue Niang and said, "The Xu family came to marry me. The Li family is going to marry the third wife. The Xu family agreed. The whole journey is upright for you. Come and go, tell me, who has it? Who is sorry for us? Mrs. Yang is the mother of the third lady. She naturally thinks about the third lady everywhere. Is it wrong? The Xu family thought the Third Lady was better, so they ordered the Third Lady. Is it wrong? Who can't we stand?"

"I just want to ask, don't be so angry." Yue Niang said a little embarrassedly. Li Tian sighed and lowered her head to drink tea, only feeling full of desolation.

Li Yunshang didn't know about the marriage. He was politely driven out by Qingzhi. His aggrieved eyes were full of tears. He stood in the garden and cried for a long time before wiping away his tears and went to the main courtyard to find his mother.

Mrs. Yang decided to marry the Xu family and was in a very happy mood. After listening to Li Yunshang's words, she waved her hand carelessly and said, "How can you have time to learn any piano? After getting married, it's only one year or two, and it's time to get married. You can't be careless about your dowry. There is no need for embroidery in our house. I just calculated that this embroidery is almost the embroidery without looking up from now on. All right, don't remember the useless piano and painting in the future. It's not good for people to go out more. It's better to go out more. I'm so worried about your dowry embroidery. All right, you go back. I still have a lot of things to do here.

Mrs Yang sent away Li Yunshang, frowned and thought about it. The more she thought about it, the more awkward she became. After a while, she suddenly called her daughter-in-law Zhou Shi in and looked at Zhou Da/grandmother and said, "I remember the second brother of Dongyi Bofu, named Zhou Chaoshun. He is the eldest brother. How old is he this year?"

"17." Zhou Da/Grandma looked at Mrs. Yang and her heart jumped. Mrs. Yang gently said, "I remember that this brother was very well born and sensible. You can go back tomorrow and ask him if he has been bedained."

"Do you want to kiss the second lady?" Zhou Da/Grandma couldn't help asking. Mrs. Yang glanced at her and said, "Er Nizi is a concubine. Can you get up with her? I think Wu Nizi is a good match for him. Zhou Da/Grandma's heart beat wildly. Looking at Mrs. Yang swallowing, she lowered her head stiffly and promised.

In the evening, Zhou Da/Grandma waited for dinner and came out. Seeing that there was no one around, she couldn't help complaining to Mother Xiao, "This is too much. It's not to mention robbing other people's good marriage. Now I have to tell the good fifth sister to the prodigal son Chaoshun."

"Yes, Mother Xiao couldn't help saying, "What else is there besides the good face of the fifth master?"

"It's okay, he has all five poisons!" Zhou Da/Grandma turned around and rushed to the courtyard and said, "She still has the face to say good for such a person? This heart is really dark." After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Mother Xiao and said, "What should I do about this? Let me go, won't this hatred come to us later?"

"Well, I think you have to tell the Fifth Lady anyway." Mother Xiao suggested, and Zhou Da/Grandma nodded: "That's what I mean, so I'm tired of going. I have to go now. I have to make it clear. Don't hide what Zhou Chaoshun is."

"Big/Grandma, don't worry." Mother Xiao answered, waved to the girl who was far behind, turned to the next path, and went around to Qingtongyuan to report the news.
