One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The angry Mrs. Zhu Si and Zhu Qiyun, who was helpless about her own fate, both raised their heads and looked at the concierge.

Mrs. Zhu Si stood up suddenly, wiped the tears on her face in a hurry, and asked eagerly: "Has the Yan family posted a message for us?"

The concierge nodded quickly.

Mrs. Zhu Si's eyes suddenly lit up. Ignoring the other people in the room who were stunned, she snatched the note from the concierge's hand and read it quickly. When she saw the content clearly, she started crying and laughing.

Mrs. Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly walked over and took the post in Mrs. Zhu Si's hand and read it.

"Third sister-in-law, is it true that the Yan family invited us to attend Magistrate Yan's birthday party?"

Mrs. Zhu Si seemed a little unbelievable, looking at Mrs. Zhu eagerly, waiting for her answer.

At this time, the Yan family suddenly posted a message, and Mrs. Zhu naturally understood the meaning. Thinking that the Yan family actually agreed to accept Qiyun who had been rejected, and thinking about her daughter whose marriage had not yet been settled, she felt slightly blocked and cold.

’s nodded.

Mrs. Zhu Si didn’t care at all about Mrs. Zhu’s attitude. She quickly took the post and read it carefully again. Perhaps she was too excited and her hands were trembling.

When Mrs. Zhu saw her like this, the blockage in her heart suddenly dissipated.

They are all mothers, so she can understand the feelings of the four younger siblings.

Mrs. Zhu softened her tone and said with a smile: "Okay, look at you like this, how can you look like a mistress of the house? Don't let the servants see the joke."

Mrs. Zhu Si cried and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't blame me, I am happy."

The elders of the two clans looked at Zhu Jiaoyu.

Zhu Jiaoyu quickly motioned to Mrs. Zhu to bring over the post.

Mrs. Zhu looked at Zhu Qiyun: "Hurry and help your mother go back and wash up."

Zhu Qiyun had recovered from her shock. She looked at the elders of the second clan and Zhu Jiaoyu. Knowing that they had something to say, she stepped forward to help Mrs. Zhu Fourth: "Mom, let's go back first."

Mrs. Zhu Si glanced at the elders of the two clans, knelt down and saluted: "I was rude just now, please don't blame me, uncle."

The expression of the elder from the second clan also softened: "It is understandable for a mother to be anxious about her daughter's marriage. I can understand it. Okay, you can go down and rest."

At this time, Mrs. Zhu Si left with the support of Zhu Qiyun.

As soon as the mother and daughter left, the elder of the two clans took the post and read it carefully. After reading it, he asked Zhu Jiaoyu: "Is the Yan family really interested in Qiyun?"

Mrs. Zhu still felt a little pity for Qiyun, her niece, and nodded and said: "Last time we went to the Yan family, Mrs. Yan and the eldest lady of the Yan family both had a good impression of Qiyun, but the second wife of the Yan family backed away from Qiyun.

I'm a little concerned about it."

The elders of the two clans became silent.

Zhu Jiaoyu thought of the help his fourth brother had given him, thought for a while, and said: "Although the second brother of the Yan family is white, they have the support of the prefect Yan, and the eldest son of the Yan family is now a member of the imperial family, and the Yan family and the

The young prince is on good terms with the Dong family, the Su family, and the Zhou family. Although his background is still a bit thin, his family name has already been raised. It would be a good thing for Qiyun to really marry into the Yan family."

The elder of the second clan nodded and looked at Mrs. Zhu: "I just spoke a little hastily. Your fourth brother and sister probably have a grudge in their hearts. Please find a time to calm her down."

He doesn't really want to force Zhu Qiyun into a pit of fire. He will favor whoever is beneficial to the Zhu family.

Hearing this, Zhu Jiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that what his second uncle said meant that he had no objection to Qiyun marrying into the Yan family.

Seeing that her husband and the elders of the two clans were still talking to each other, Mrs. Zhu went out of the house. As soon as she came out, she saw her daughter standing under the eaves of the corridor, looking into the house: "What are you doing? Are there any rules anymore?"

Zhu Xiuyun stepped forward with a smile and took Mrs. Zhu's arm: "Mom, I heard that the Yan family posted a message to our family. Is this true or false?"

Mrs. Zhu nodded.

Zhu Xiuyun looked a little confused: "Didn't you say before that the Yan family would not agree to marry Sister Qiyun? Then why did they post to us?"

Mrs. Zhu also looked puzzled: "Who would have thought that they would change their attention? Forget it, don't think about it. Mom will ask the people in the sewing room to make clothes for you. Now the Yan family invites us to be guests. You

You can go too."

Zhu Xiuyun was immediately happy: "Great, I can finally meet Yi Shuang and the others."

Mrs. Zhu smiled and said: "After you go to the Yan family in the next few days, you have to make good friends with the girls in the Yan family."

Zhu Xiuyun nodded quickly.

On the other side, as soon as Mrs. Zhu Si and Zhu Qiyun returned to the guest house, Mrs. Zhu Si hugged her daughter and kept muttering: "Great, great, let me just say, how could my daughter be the fate of her daughter?"

A thin person."

Zhu Qiyun lay silently in her mother's arms and wept, her eyes no longer as gloomy as before.

......

Provincial Government, Dong Family.

Old Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong were talking about trivial matters at home. They were slightly surprised when they heard the maid greeting Dong Yuanxuan outside the door.

Mrs. Dong took a look at the sky and wondered: "Usually Yuan Xuan is helping the master with things at this time, how come you have time to come back today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Yuanxuan entered the house and quickly stepped forward to salute Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong: "Grandma, mother."

Mrs. Dong asked: "Why are you here now? Is there something wrong?"

Dong Yuanxuan joked for a while at first, and then said hesitantly: "Grandma, mother, May 20th is Uncle Yan's birthday. Well...should we go there?"

Old Mrs. Dong looked at Mrs. Dong: "What, the Yan family posted a message?"

Mrs. Dong glanced at her son and shook her head: "No."

Mrs. Dong immediately said: "Since there is no post, it means that the Yan family does not plan to make a big deal, so there is no need for us to go."

Dong Yuanxuan was a little anxious: "Our family has good relations with the Yan family, so this kind of thing should be done."

Mrs. Dong looked at her grandson who was a little strange today: "But our family didn't go there in previous years."

Dong Yuanxuan blurted out: "This year is different."

Mrs. Dong wondered: "Why is it different?"

Dong Yuanxuan quickly looked at Mrs. Dong.

Mrs. Dong's heart skipped a beat. She had previously promised her son that she would consider marrying the Yan family, but after receiving a letter from Mr. Marquis, she immediately put the matter behind her.

Now that her son and the eldest daughter of the Zhaodehou Mansion were born in the same horoscope, it was a match made in heaven. She was thinking about when to talk to her son about it.

Looking at her son who was looking at her expectantly, Mrs. Dong fell silent. She seemed to have misjudged how much her son was interested in Yi Yi. After a while, she spoke: "Son, mother and your grandmother are having a happy event.

What do you think?"

Seeing his mother's guilty expression, Dong Yuanxuan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart: "Mom, what happy event is this?"

Just when Mrs. Dong was thinking about how to speak, Mrs. Dong took the lead and said with a smile: "Your grandfather arranged a marriage for you. She is the eldest daughter of the Zhaodehou family. Do you think it is a happy event?"

Hearing this, Dong Yuanxuan stood up suddenly and looked at Mrs. Dong eagerly: "Mom, didn't you promise me that you would consider Sister Yan?"

Seeing her son's reaction, Mrs. Dong quickly said: "Mom has indeed considered it, but after thinking about it again and again, she feels that there is a big gap between the family backgrounds of the Yan family and ours. Yiyi is good, but it is not suitable for you and is not suitable for you."

's wife."

Mrs. Dong obviously didn't know about this. She looked at her grandson, then at her daughter-in-law, pondered for a moment, and said to Dong Yuanxuan with some sincerity:

"Yuanxuan, grandma knows that the eldest daughter of the Yan family is good-looking, and you will inevitably be fascinated by her appearance. But the wife you want to marry must not only be good-looking, but also need to be able to help you with housework and social activities.

Communication..."

Dong Yuanxuan quickly interrupted: "Sister Yan knows these things. She is still in charge of several villages and shops. She is no worse than a noble daughter from aristocratic families."

Mrs. Dong: "...Okay, grandma thinks that Miss Yan is capable, but her family background is there after all. You are your father's only legitimate son, and you will be able to support your family in the future."

, your wife must be someone who can help you, not someone who needs your help. With an in-law like the Yan family, you will be very tired..."

Dong Yuanxuan: "My grandson is not afraid of being tired!"

Seeing Dong Yuanxuan interrupting herself again, Mrs. Dong, who had been a feudal lord for more than ten years, showed a hint of displeasure on her face, and her voice deepened: "Yuanxuan, you can't just care about your own temporary preferences. You have to know that you

What you carry on your shoulders is the rise and fall of your house."

Dong Yuanxuan: "Grandma, my grandson will work hard, and sister Yan will also help my grandson." He said, looking at Mrs. Dong, "Mom, I don't agree with the marriage with the Zhaodehou family."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Dong became angry: "You child, you didn't even listen to what your grandmother told you just now. The Zhaodehou Mansion is the same as ours, and their eldest daughter is the most suitable to be your wife."

Candidate."

Dong Yuanxuan: "But I don't like her."

Mrs. Dong immediately snorted: "Marriage is a matter of great importance. Parents order the matchmaker. You can't even meet a girl from a decent family. You can't talk about whether you like her or not. Only the daughter of a family with poor etiquette can do that."

Being looked at before marriage."

Dong Yuanxuan immediately retorted: "Grandma, how can you say that? Sister Yan and I met because our two families have a good relationship."

Mrs. Dong's expression softened: "I didn't tell you what happened to Miss Yan. I'm just telling you that the eldest daughter of Zhaodehou's family is truly a lady. This girl from a local official's family, in a certain

There are some differences in some aspects, which is caused by one’s background and vision.”

Seeing what her grandson wanted to say, Mrs. Dong didn't want to talk nonsense anymore and said directly: "Okay, you don't need to say anything anymore. Grandma will tell you the truth. There is no possibility between you and the eldest girl of the Yan family."

"Don't even think about her origins. In this Zhongzhou territory, she is just a daughter of a prefect. How can she be worthy of your status as a noble prince?"

Dong Yuanxuan looked in disbelief: "Grandma, didn't you like Sister Yan very much before?"
