Chapter 53: Night Talk Pink Ticket 12o

Xu Lingyi's phoenix eyes were raised. He was not angry and proud, but the lady was speechless for a moment.

As for the matter of going to Jiang's house to ask for marriage, he slowly sat down and said in deep thought that he would like to ask his mother to think more about it.

Mrs. Tai came back to her senses. She sighed softly and smiled bitterly: I know you are unhappy. But I also have my own intentions. At that time, Yuan Niang looked excited, but you refused to give in. The room was full of distinguished guests. If I didn't

Agree, who knows what trouble will happen again. The Jiang family is full of nobles and has produced two imperial masters, who are highly respected by the world. I am afraid that they may not want to have anything to do with our family. I thought, even if I

Go and beg, it is still unknown whether the Jiang family will agree or not, so it is better to accept it temporarily and make plans later. After saying that, he sighed, the Jiang family's family style is clean and awe-inspiring. Speaking of it, Yuan Niang is still very discerning.

Moreover, your father once said back then: "Marry a virtuous wife." Most of the women who come from such scholarly families are smart, elegant, and able to cultivate their moral integrity. That's why, regardless of others' ridicule, they came to your second brother's house three times to beg your sister-in-law to marry you.

Speaking of her son who died of illness, the corners of Mrs. Tai's eyes got wet, and you saw it too. Your second sister-in-law was honest and tolerant when she was hosting the wedding ceremony as your father said; and she was able to stick to her will after your second brother died of illness. This is all because

The Xiang family is good at educating their daughters. I don’t know how happy I am that Brother Chen can marry the Jiang family’s daughter.

When his mother mentioned his brother who died of illness, Xu Lingyi's expression softened a lot. He said calmly: "Mother is afraid that she will make the emperor unhappy because of this."

Yes. There is a certain solemnity in Mrs. Tai's expression. The Emperor and the Queen are still married, and the Queen has given birth to three sons. You first quelled the Miao barbarians, and then conquered the northern Xinjiang, and made a contribution to quelling the crisis; we

At this moment, my home is just like the flowers, chopsticks, and brocade cooking oil. How can I not be afraid that the Emperor will be uneasy, afraid that someone with bad intentions will make irresponsible remarks in front of the Emperor, and even more afraid that the Queen will be harmed because of a small loss. The Queen Mother said, her eyes burning.

Looking at our son, we can't make any mistakes now. As long as we wait and point to the sky, it will be the day of success.

Mother, when the moon is full, it is lacking, and when the water is full, it overflows. Xu Lingyi's expression is indifferent, nothing in this world can last forever. You can't stop eating because of choking, and do nothing for fear of being remembered.

The madam was slightly startled: You mean

Xu Lingyi nodded: I don't agree to marry the Jiang family, not because I am afraid that the emperor will become suspicious, nor because I am afraid that the Jiang family will not agree. Since I have taken on the responsibility of revitalizing the family business, if I can even choose an adviser for my son

Even a courteous and honest daughter-in-law can't do it. What else can we talk about? Why not go to the Miaoman northern border to compete with others? What else can we talk about? Why not go to the Miaoman northern border to compete with others? He said, he frowned slightly, I mainly

I still feel that Brother Zhun is too young. When it comes to marriage, I can only choose someone of the same age. If the child is too young, it will be uncertain. It looks good now, but it may not be good if it is older. There are many such examples.

The lady nodded slightly as she listened.

But if I find someone who is much older than Brother Zhun, I am afraid that they will not get along in the future. Xu Lingyi has a faint worry on his eyebrows. I originally wanted to wait until Brother Zhun is older, and then help him take a closer look at whether he is his legitimate son or his future wife.

It is necessary to preside over the central government and set an example for the whole clan. It cannot be careless.

Mrs. Tai kept nodding her head: What you are worried about is absolutely true. It’s just that we can stay with Yuan Niang, but I’m afraid she won’t be able to wait any longer. As she said that, there was a bit of helplessness in her tone, not to mention that she has always been smart and smart, and now she has reached the age of Deng Ku.

When you run out of gas, if you don't arrange everything properly, you won't be able to rest assured.

Xu Lingyi said nothing and lowered his eyelids. He picked up the lid of the tea cup and brushed the floating leaves in the tea cup: So I would like to ask you to think more about this matter.

What you mean is that the Madam is quite confused.

When I came out of the courtyard, I asked someone to inquire about the Jiang family. Xu Lingyi took a sip of tea and found out that among the Jiang brothers, Jiang Bai, Jiang Song, and Jiang Gui were the legitimate sons. Among them, Jiang Bai served as the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

, had three sons and two daughters, among whom the eldest son and second daughter were legitimate children; Jiang Song returned to Le'an and opened an academy called Jinxi, and had a son and a daughter, both legitimate children; Jiang Gui was appointed magistrate in Taiyuan, and had two sons and two daughters, among whom the eldest son

The eldest daughter is a legitimate daughter. Jiang Bai's second daughter is two years old this year, Jiang Song's eldest daughter is four years old, and Jiang Gui's eldest daughter is twelve years old. I want to marry Jiang Song's eldest daughter for brother Chen.

Mrs. Tai muttered: Although the children are small, there is no certainty, but who raises them will look like whom. As Jiang Bai was ups and downs in his official career, his children would inevitably get rich and noble habits. And Jiang Song was teaching and educating people in the countryside, so his children may also have some strong character.

An aristocratic family like ours, who is at the forefront of the limelight, would rather she be lonely and self-respecting than to lead her husband to fight for fame and fortune.

That's exactly what I planned. Xu Lingyi's phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and a cold light like a blade flashed through her eyes. I'm afraid Yuan Niang didn't think so. Besides, in addition to striving for the best in everything she does, she also likes to hold back. I want to do this.

Things are no exception. Before I came, I asked Ma Zuowen from the Xingren Department to tell Jiang Bai for me. If Jiang Bai has a far-sighted vision, he will naturally know that the so-called nobleness must first be noble before it can be pure. The emperor's master is already

Lao Huang experienced it decades ago. If his family wanted to continue to be so prominent, they had to find another way out. If he didn't even have this vision, the Jiang family would be close to decline.

You are still thoughtful. Madam Tai said with a smile. Jiang Song has no official title, but Jiang Bai is a bachelor of the academy and a cabinet candidate. Naturally, it is much better for us to marry Jiang Song than to marry Jiang Bai. Moreover, if anything happens,

No matter what, our two families are always related by marriage, and it is right to help each other. Even if the emperor knew about it, he would only think that we were forbearing and modest.

So this matter is clearly going to be made by Yuan Niang. Let everyone know why our family wants to marry the Jiang family. Xu Lingyi nodded, secretly, but still wants you to take action in person, so as not to backfire and end up with Jiang Bai.

In-laws.

I know it's awesome. The lady chin slightly, glanced at her son, hesitated for a moment, and said: There is one more thing. When I went to the palace to pay a visit to the empress on the second day of February, I met the imperial concubine, and she asked about Yuan Niang.

She said half-jokingly and half-seriously, she has a sister who is very beautiful and beautiful. If you hadn’t already had a wife, it wouldn’t be an insult to be worthy of you.

Xu Lingyi laughed: If that's the case, then you should leave the Qiao family's affairs alone so as not to embarrass you.

Seeing that her son was not surprised at all, the lady asked curiously: "What did you hear?"

Xu Lingyi's smile gradually faded, and she answered the question in a non-trivial manner: It's okay to let Yuan Niang do the beating, so as not to cause such trouble in the future. After saying that, he got up, it's getting late, and you've been tired all day today, so you should rest early. I guess.

There should be a letter delivered from Ma Zuowen early tomorrow morning. If there is no reply yet, then don't mention the marriage with the Jiang family again in the future, so as not to be too slow to respond to his family.

Too many things happened today, and Madam Tai was indeed tired. She asked Wei Zi to see Xu Lingyi off.

Wei Zi took two little maids and carried an octagonal glass lamp and escorted Xu Lingyi out of the yard.

Xu Lingyi's personal servants Linbo and Zhaoying had already brought two servants in green hats and waited in front of the door. Seeing Xu Lingyi, the two servants hurriedly stepped forward to take the lamp from the little maid's hand.

Bo took two steps forward at the same time and smiled and bowed his hand to Wei Zi: Thank you for your hard work, sister.

Wei Zifu said: Dare not. He bowed to Xu Lingyi again, took the little maid back and closed the courtyard door.

Xu Lingyi stood at the entrance of the courtyard, looking up at the stars in the sky, and remained silent for a long time.

Linbo exchanged glances with Zhaoying, and both saw uneasiness in the other's eyes.

Let's go. After a while, Xu Lingyi walked to the flower hall behind Madam Tai's house.

The two of them did not dare to hesitate. Linbo walked in front with two young men holding lanterns, while Zhaoying served beside them.

Halfway through, Xu Lingyi suddenly said: Have you asked clearly?

Asked clearly. Linbo hurriedly said, because Madam sent Yanhong to call him to ask questions, he saw you rested again, so he followed.

Xu Lingyi looked as usual and said: What did the lady ask him?

He said that he was summoned, but his wife was not there. Linbo whispered, Yanhong asked him to wait there, but he did not dare to leave. That's why

Leave him to Manager Bai, Xu Lingyi said softly, and ask Manager Bai to add someone smarter.

Linbo responded respectfully and followed Xu Lingyi through the flower hall and onto the east-west corridor.

The Marquis hesitated for a while and then said in a low voice that the key to the back garden might have been lost at this time.

Xu Lingyi was startled, stopped, stood in front of the flower window wall for a while, and said softly: Then go to Aunt Qin's place.

Linbo responded and served Xu Lingyi to Aunt Qin.

Knocking on the door, it was Aunt Wen's personal maid Yu'er who answered the door.

Marquis, she opened her eyes wide, why are you here? Then she was shocked and made a speechless statement. She hurriedly said, "No, I mean, I thought you would rest in the small courtyard, so Aunt Wen came to keep Aunt Qin company."

He said, shouting that the Marquis was coming.

The small courtyard was awakened immediately, and everyone hurriedly put on their clothes, or lit lamps, or came forward to say hello to Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi looked at the formation, and before Aunt Qin and Aunt Wen came out to greet them, he told the two aunts to have a rest, and turned around to go to the Madam.

Madam Tai had just rested when she heard that her son had returned home. She hurriedly put on her clothes and got up: What happened?

It’s okay, Xu Lingyi said, I’ll stay in your Nuan Pavilion for the night.

The madam glanced at her son and asked no questions. She ordered the maids to open the box and take out the half-new bedding that had been put away two days ago and spread it out for him.

Early the next morning, it started to rain, and it fell on the young leaves that had just emerged, making them look greener than usual.

Eleven Niang opened the box and let Ten Niang pick out clothes and accessories.

Bin Ju looked worried and muttered to Dongqing at the door: Why don't you let her pick out Miss Fifth's things? Just because our Miss has a good temper.

Don't say a few words, Dongqing said in a low voice, "The eldest lady's anger hasn't subsided yet. You accidentally got into trouble and burned our young lady too."

Bin Ju couldn't help but murmured: Aren't I just talking to you?

Before she finished speaking, someone said from behind her: Is Miss Eleven here? The eldest lady asked her to come over.

The two of them turned around and saw Luo Qiao standing behind them with a smile.
