As a concubine, the classification is limited. Of course, Aunt Qiu doesn’t have much good tea here. Mrs. Yu Er took a sip and put down the teacup. She was too lazy to play Tai Chi with her, and said directly: “I heard that Aunt and Xinke Tanhualang’s mansion are distant relatives?”

Aunt Qiu nodded, "Mrs. Jiang is my sister. She was separated due to natural disasters when she was young, and she only found out her whereabouts in the past two years."

I see.

It is only because of the Yu family in the past two years that the Yu family and the Xiao family have lost contact and have no idea of ​​the reason.

"I'm so lucky."

Mrs. Yu Er smiled, "Tanhua Lang is talented and has a ravine chest. My master praised him. If he could get support from noble people, his bright future would be no problem. By then, your aunt will also benefit from it. Oh, and Sister Ying, who has such a promising cousin, I don't know how many people envy you."

Aunt Qiu just laughed and didn't respond.

Mrs. Yu frowned slightly and asked inadvertently: "A few days ago, the master invited Tanhualang to visit the mansion. During his conversation, he learned that Tanhualang and Guan Zhiling had not yet married. He laughed at me in private and said, "I don't know how many noble girls yearn for this capital with such a glorious talent."

"Mrs. I'm sorry."

Jiang Yuan was outstanding, which means he was just a group of poor children. After all, his origin was there. Even ordinary poor scholars might not be able to respect him. There were even merchants in the previous dynasty that could not be accepted by the government. It was an insult to the Golden Palace that a lowly merchant had entered the court.

I can only say that Jiang Yuan was born in a good era.

Even so, the scholarly family with a little integrity is unwilling to marry him, let alone a noble girl, who are all eyes on the top of the head.

Mrs. Yu Er’s implications are so clear.

That is, she is open-minded. If Mrs. Yu knew that Jiang Yuan had some connection with the Xiao Mansion, she would not agree to this marriage no matter what she said.

It was because Mrs. Yu Er knew her mother's character that she wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible so as not to have too many dreams.

"Oh." She sighed, "When I talk about this, I think of my sister Ling."

Aunt Qiu had no choice but to cooperate and ask, "What's wrong with Miss Ling?"

"She is fourteen years old." Mrs. Yu Er was very satisfied with her cooperation. "The marriage has not yet been settled. As a mother, I am so anxious that I am so worried that I have turned white."

Aunt Qiu stopped talking.

If he praises Yu Ling, Mrs. Yu would definitely think that Jiang Yuan is very keen to get married with the Yu family. Even her sister dared not make decisions about the marriage of this cheap nephew, so how dare she agree with the slightest?

Mrs. Yu Er frowned again, "Women, what you worry most is her own flesh and blood. Sister Ying is still young now. After a few years, my aunt will be more worried than me."

Aunt Qiu is just a concubine and cannot make decisions for her daughter. The third wife is gone, and seeing Mr. Xiao San, she doesn't seem to be keen on re-stringing. The concubines in the backyard are also at peace, and even the most favored Mrs. Lian, don't even have the intention to climb up, let alone the others. Mr. Xiao is not confused and cannot do anything like supporting the concubine's family. He is also fair. In the future, the marriage of several children born in illegitimate children will be discussed with the old lady.

Aunt Qiu was very relieved about this.

So she doesn't have to worry too much.

"I am in a low position. In the future of Sister Ying, the old lady and the master will decide."

Mrs. Yu Er smiled, "Mrs. I see that Sister Ying is also a beautiful girl, a beautiful girl, and also comes from a famous family. Although she is not a legitimate child, it would be a pity if she is a concubine or a poor family."

Those who don’t know this thought that she was encouraging Aunt Qiu to compete for favor.

Aunt Qiu did not answer the conversation.

Mrs. Yu Er smiled on her face, "Although my aunt is a concubine, her destiny cannot be changed. But you are blessed. If you have such a capable nephew, you can support Sister Ying in the future. It's a pity..." She sighed helplessly and said, "Although Jiang Tanhua is talented, she has no foundation. If she does not have the support of a noble person, she will probably be difficult to survive. At such a young age, if she becomes a mover, isn't she was wasted talent? But these powerful people in the capital are all noble, and they are afraid that Jiang Tanhua has no way to seek a road."

It's over this, so there's no need to say it too clearly.

Mrs. Yu Er regards Aunt Qiu's silence as a tacit understanding. After all, it is not easy for a fool to accept such a big olive branch. Jiang Yuan is of this age and background, and it is indeed not easy to talk to in the capital.

"I have been bothering you today for a long time. I remember that there are still important things in the mansion, so I will say goodbye first."

He said he was here to thank Aunt Qiu for her "care" to Xiao An and Xiao Shu, but he didn't say a word afterwards. This aunt did a very "duty" job.

Aunt Qiu sent her to the gate of the yard. After watching her leave, she sent her maid around her to take a message to the Jiang Mansion.

**

After Ji Wan met Mrs. Xiao in Rong'an Hall, she and her mother went to Queqi Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the house, Zhou dispersed the maid in the house and said, "Sanlang was on the front line before, and you and your husband were too few to get together, which was delayed. Now that he has returned to Beijing, he has to step up..." She paused and whispered, "Be pregnant with a child."

Ji Wan was so amused and crying.

"Mom, there's no hurry to do this."

Zhou sighed, "I'm not trying to force you, but you always have to take this matter to heart. Don't just think about your shops and shops all day long. When I was at home, I didn't restrict you, and your father and grandmother were indulging you and let you do what you like. But now you are not an unmarried girl, you are the daughter-in-law of someone else's family. If you have a mother-in-law, your duty as a daughter-in-law is to take care of your husband and children first. I know that you have always been unable to sit still. If you have a child, you will be lively at your knees, right?"

This is true.

Ji Wan doesn't have to do everything herself now, and she has plenty of free time, and she is really bored occasionally. She remembered what Liu Feili said that night, did he also want children?

"Mom, don't worry, I know."

Seeing that she listened to her words, Zhou nodded.

"By the way." Ji Wan remembered Mrs. Yu Er whom he had met in front of the mansion just now and said, "Since the third aunt is dead, the Yu family is afraid that she has complained about the Xiao family. Why would Mrs. Yu Er come to the mansion to visit at this time?"

Zhou frowned and asked without answering, "Have you seen the Jiang family members when you go back to the north this time?"

Ji Wan nodded.

"Well, I met Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang. On the way back, I met her and entered the city together."

"Then you also know that the eldest son of the Jiang family passed the top three Jinshi exams and won the Tanhualang." The old story flashed through Zhou's mind, and she said, "The second wife of the Yu family fell in love with Jiang Yuan and wanted to marry the Jiang family."

Ji Wan's eyes widened incredible.

No.

Aren’t the Yu family very arrogant? How could they look down on Jiang Yuan, who was born as a merchant?

"Mrs. Yu couldn't afford to get sick because of the pain of losing her daughter. It was probably because she was unable to recover. The Yu family and the Xiao family were having a bad time again, and they were talking in private, and no one dared to marry the Yu family. Miss Yu second has reached age again and has to settle down quickly, and there is no room for choice."

Ji Wan suddenly realized.

"So Mrs. Yu Er came to the door today because she wanted to use the oral message from her aunt to let the Jiang family come to propose marriage on their own initiative?"

Zhou said no.

"The Yu family is a noble family, and they are married to their daughters, so they can't speak up."

That's right.

Miss Yu Er, Yu Ling... Ji Wan found out the appearance of a little girl from her memory. I vaguely remember that she was also a woman who was quite willful and arrogant, but I don’t know if she has made any progress in self-cultivation in the past few years.

But these have nothing to do with her.

She was just a little curious about whether the Jiang family would be able to stake this marriage.

**

Jiang Mansion.

Yesterday, when Mrs. Jiang came, Mrs. Qiu told her the whole story.

Mrs. Jiang had seen the world before and was not forgotten by this sudden pie. After a brief surprise, she said, "There must be something inside of this matter."

Qiu nodded, "Brother Yuan said the same thing. After sending someone to inquire, he found out that the Yu family and the Xiao family had a rift. The Yu family's aunt died suddenly, and after her death, her body was carried back to her parents' home and was not buried in the Xiao family's ancestral grave. The ladies privately speculated that the Yu family's aunt was afraid that she had made a big mistake and had a malice. She didn't dare to marry the Yu family, so the Yu family was inferior to our small family."

Mrs. Jiang looked at her, "Since ancient times, married daughters were named husband's family. If they had not committed any unforgivable crimes, why would they be carried back to their parents' home for burial after death? The Xiao and Yu families were afraid that they had a deep grudge. Those aristocratic families were unwilling to marry the Yu family. The biggest reason was that the Yu family's girls had a wrong character, but that they were afraid of offending the Xiao family because of this."

I have to say that Mrs. Jiang is worthy of being a person who has lived for most of her life. She has seen strong winds and waves and has long been a human spirit. She has never even seen the Yu family. She can see through the essence of this matter with just a few words from her daughter-in-law and the information she inquired about.

Mrs. Qiu was shocked. The obscure expression of Zhou and her sister's sudden change of face immediately appeared in her mind when she went to Xiao Mansion that day.

If the Yu family really makes enemies with the Xiao family, then wouldn’t it be like a provocation to the Xiao family if the Jiang family really gets married? Wouldn’t Jiang Yuan’s career be destroyed?

Thinking of this, Qiu broke out in a cold sweat.
