Chapter 58: Asking for Marriage

The eldest wife talked to her son for a long time, and she was a little tired. She said: You have been busy running around today, so you should rest early.

Only then did Luo Zhenxing remember the purpose of his visit.

He hurriedly said: Mom, I have something to discuss with you.

When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately said seriously: If anything happens, just tell me.

Luo Zhenxing smiled and said: What do you think of Qian Ming?

The eldest lady was startled.

Luo Zhenxing said: He is twenty-seven years old this year and has not married yet. Then he told me about buying roast suckling pig. I think he is very flexible in dealing with things. In the future, I am afraid that he will not be a thing in the pond. Do you want me to find someone to give a hint?

Give him a look

The eldest wife immediately became interested: You have to ask clearly. If there is one in the family, and then she says outside that she is not married, then our Luo family will become a laughing stock.

Don't worry, Luo Zhenxing said with a smile, I will check it carefully.

The eldest wife felt excited when she thought about it: This Qian Ming is really good. No one can compare with his cleverness. If it can really happen, this will be a good marriage that takes no effort at all.

She thought of her fourth uncle from the second room.

The Luo family contributed money and effort, and finally won the election

When Luo Zhenxing saw his mother's answer, he stood up with a smile: "Then just rest. I'll get back to you when I get the letter."

The eldest lady nodded and asked Luo Qiao to see Luo Zhenxing out of the house without mentioning it.

Eleven Niang was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. When she woke up the next day and looked in the mirror, her face looked like a freshly peeled egg, without any trace.

This is the advantage of being young.

She sighed in her heart, then had breakfast and went to pay her respects to the eldest lady with the five mothers and ten mothers.

The eldest lady had the same friendly smile and kind tone as before. After a few words with them, Mrs. Xu brought the daily accounts, and the eldest lady signaled that they could leave.

He neither asked why Shiniang came nor what happened at home. It was as if time had never passed and that going to Yanjing and meeting Yuanniang was just a dream.

Not to mention anything else, just this ability to remain calm is enough to be admired.

Eleven Niang sighed secretly and walked out of the door in a daze.

Wu Niang came over and took her arm, and said kindly: Sister Eleven, what are you going to do later? How about we play chess and I let you play ten pieces?

I will do some needlework later. Eleventh Sister smiled and dealt with Fifth Sister. How about Fifth Sister and Tenth Sister play chess while I sit aside and do needlework.

Wu Niang looked at Ten Niang with a friendly smile: OK

Shi Niang raised her chin and glanced at Wu Niang, turned around and returned to the house with disdain.

Wu Niang murmured behind her: Alas, I don’t know what happened to Baizhi and Jiuhong. The fifth lady on the fifth day of the shopping trip in the outer courtyard fell in love with Baizhi, and the eldest lady promised to let her out this autumn.

Eleven Niang saw Shiniang pause for a moment, then straightened her back and entered the west wing.

Eleventh sister, I have failed to live up to your good intentions. Wu Niang smiled slightly when she saw it, and said to Eleven Niang, I can’t afford to embarrass this person even if I have a hot face but a cold face. She went back to the house. After saying that, she took Ziwei with her.

He and Ziyuan returned to their residence.

It’s not our young lady who asked Miss Ten not to agree. Bin Ju, who came out to greet Eleven Niang, couldn’t help but murmur in her voice, and was given a fierce look by Dong Qing.

Eleven Niang returned to her apartment with a smile, then took out needle and thread, and sat on the big kang near the window to make spring clothes for Brother Xi.

At noon, I sent Amber to inquire about what was going on with the eldest lady.

Amber came back and said: I settled the accounts for the whole day with big-breasted mother Xu.

I’ll go there again in the evening. Eleven Niang was startled and said, let’s see if anyone comes to visit my mother.

Got it. Hu Hua went there again at dusk. Mother Tao came to pay her respects to the eldest wife on the order of her eldest aunt.

Eleven Niang was a little surprised that Mrs. Jiang didn't come, but then she was relieved.

No matter how satisfied you are, you still have to be reserved.

In the evening, she and the five niangs and ten niangs went to pay their respects to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady was talking to the eldest lady: No matter how precious it is, it is in the natal family. The husband is rich and the wife is noble, so they cannot make a mistake. When she saw the three people coming in, the eldest lady stopped talking.

Who are you talking about?

Eleven Niang was puzzled, but remained calm and said hello to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady was in a good mood. She not only chatted and laughed with them, but also stayed with them to have dinner.

This made Eleven Niang even more uneasy. When she returned to the house, she sent Amber to find out what Mama Tao said when she came.

Amber took an embroidery sample and pretended to give it to Coral, and went to the eldest lady's place. She came back in less than a cup of tea.

Miss, Miss. She looked very excited and took Eleven Niang to Nuang Pavilion to talk. Coral said that the Marquis was going to take a concubine.

Eleven Niang’s heart thumped: Be more careful.

She couldn't help but hold Amber's hand.

Hu Bo calmed down and said: The Marquis will bring the sixth daughter of the Qiao family into the house tomorrow night. The Xu family invited several tables of wine, as well as our uncle and Da Nai. The eldest wife asked Da Nai to give her a doughnut as a gift.

Qiao Lianfang

I don’t know why, but the image of her sitting there quietly, with her face as white and soft as a lotus flower appeared in Eleven Niang’s mind.

Such a girl has to be a concubine

Instead of a festive and lively wedding, one kneels down to serve tea to the principal wife. In place of a phoenix crown and harem, a pink mantle is used. In place of a high-spirited chest, a humble bent knee

She has all five tastes in her heart.

This is what Yuan Niang wants, right?

Coveting her position, this is the outcome.

Eleven Niang vaguely felt that she might be the candidate because only in this way could Yuan Niang's plan be considered perfect.

A stepmother with a humble background, and a concubine with a noble background; the one with a noble background was seen by the one with a humble background, and saw the most miserable side of life, which planted a seed of uneasiness in her heart.

Will this woman, who is inferior to me in everything, look down on herself because of this? Will she use this matter as an excuse to ask for anything from me?

Who wants to live in this fear

The only way is to resist.

What's more, she still has family backing her.

If we can get that position, the family will be happy to see it happen.

And the one who came from a humble background?

Apart from this position, there is no other reliance.

Regardless of whether it is for life or dignity, she must do everything possible to keep what she has. Whoever dares to challenge must use thunderous means to kill as a warning to others who are watching on the sidelines.

Such two people, if placed in a cage, will only fight. Not only will they fight, but they will fight to the death, which will make the family uneasy, let the wife down, make the marquis tired, and make Brother Chen safer and safer.

If there is no enemy, then cultivate an enemy and let them restrain each other. This is the most brilliant strategy.

After thinking about this, Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

Such an uneasy life had gone on for too long and she was really afraid that the eldest wife would suddenly become unhappy and marry her casually as a punching bag.

fair enough

At least, there is a clear road in front of him; at least, he still has the opportunity to take precautions in advance; at least, Xu Lingyi is a normal thinker with no missing arms or legs; at least, Xu Lingyi looks cold and majestic and difficult to get along with, but under Yuanniang

When designing him, there was no harsh words or hateful appearance; at least, Xu Lingyi is a person with arrogance and arrogance in his bones. Although he will not be kind, at least he will not ignore his wife and children in a life-or-death situation.

She thought of Mrs. Jiang's searchlight-like gaze.

It's better than being dragged by the eldest lady and being picked over by others with scrutinizing eyes, but you may not be able to win the eyes of others, right?

That's enough

No matter how much she asks for, no one will give it to her.

Eleven Niang thought to herself that she actually slept peacefully at night, without even turning over.

The next day I went to pay my respects to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady’s face was glowing red. It was obvious that she was in a very good mood. She even chatted with them with a smile: The spring bamboo shoots should be on the market at this time. Let’s ask Mother Xu to buy some. We will use the spring bamboo shoots to stir-fry sauerkraut in the evening.

It's time for lettuce to be on the market. As usual, Eleven Niang sat aside with a smile and just listened; Ten Niang was expressionless and absent-minded. Only Wu Niang agreed with the eldest lady. I remember that you like to eat scrambled eggs with lettuce. Want

Don't let the kitchen make one for you.

The eldest lady nodded: I really can't get used to the taste of that toon. The eleventh mother ate it with gusto.

Hearing that the eldest lady named her, Eleventh Mother covered her sleeves and laughed.

A little maid came to report: Madam, Mrs. Wang is here to visit.

Mrs. Wang, the eldest wife was confused and said, which Mrs. Wang

The voice of the little maid, the wife of Mr. Wang, the Chief Envoy of Fujian Province, dropped several times.
