Chapter 110
When she returned to the Hou Mansion, Aji immediately ordered Cuiyu to inquire about the Li family's grandchildren, but she went to Xinlanyuan with her daughter who had just woken up.
When Ning heard that Yunyang Bo Mansion was interested in getting married, he nodded: "Just watching the family is indeed a good marriage, but I don't know how the Li family man is. I have not been in Beijing for many years, so you have to help me watch this matter. Xuerou is a good girl, and we can't treat her badly." When the eldest lady was given medicine, if Zeng Xuerou was a bad intention, maybe her granddaughter would have really said, and Zeng Xuerou was dragging her by the eldest lady, saving her son and daughter-in-law a lot of trouble.
Aji is also very grateful to Zeng Xuerou, and Zeng Xuerou is frank and cheerful in front of her. She really hopes that Zeng Xuerou will marry a good family, but she has a worry, "Mom, what reason should I use to take my cousin to Longen Temple?" After Zhao Chen left, Zeng Xuerou had no excuse to come to Zhuxuan. She invited her rashly, and the lady would probably be suspicious.
Ning smiled, looked at her meaningfully, picked up her granddaughter and said, "Think about it yourself, but I can't think about it and come and ask me again." The daughter-in-law is becoming more and more skilled in the housekeeper's business, and she still lacks a little dealing with all kinds of women. Even if Chengyuan is not a messy woman, the couple will still have children in the future. If the son gets married, they will have countless trivial matters. She, the future mistress, has learned some things. She has been thinking about them all her life and relying on others to give them some advice can only solve the urgent problem in front of her.
Aji was stunned and then realized that her mother-in-law was going to take the exam.
Zhao Chen is the same. Sometimes she always lets her think about it first. She really can't figure it out before he will tell her how to solve a problem.
Like a child who was highly anticipated, Aji wanted to laugh a little, and felt warm and comfortable. She knew nothing about the matter in the mansion. Fortunately, her husband and mother-in-law were willing to mention her.
Watching her daughter making noise in her grandmother's arms, Aju thought about it seriously.
When Xinlanyuan thought of a solution, looking back at Zhuxuan, another thought emerged. Aji was very happy and asked Cuiyu to secretly hand over a letter to Zeng Xuerou, and then he devoted himself to coaxing his daughter to play.
~
The next day after breakfast, before the weather got hot, Aji took her daughter to the garden to play. While resting in the pavilion, she met Zeng Xuerou's master and servant.
Sier, the eldest maid next to Zeng Xuerou, was lucky because she was guilty last time. She said on the surface that she was sold by Zhao Yunting, but in fact she took the contract to return to her hometown in Liaodong. The grandmother probably didn't want to make a second mistake and called Ye Er to serve Zeng Xuerou, and was also monitoring her. Unfortunately, when Zeng Xuerou brought Ye Er over to her for the first time, Zhao Chen sent Chen Shou to mention something, and since then Ye Er obeyed Zeng Xuerou.
He ordered Ye'er to guard outside the pavilion. Zeng Xuerou entered the pavilion by herself, sat beside Aji, leaning over to tease Cancan who was sitting in the car, "I haven't seen her for several days, Cancan seems to have grown up again."
Cancan held a bracelet full of bells in his hand. Seeing Zeng Xuerou, she stopped shaking and stared at Zeng Xuerou curiously.
"Cancan called her aunt, this is your cousin." Aji held her daughter's little hand and taught her to speak.
Zeng Xuerou looked at Cancan expectantly.
Cancan pursed his lips and turned his head to play by himself.
"Cancan is still too young." Zeng Xuerou smiled, holding Cancan's little feet in one hand, and asked Aji: "Is there anything to do with my cousin's wife?"
Aji didn't know how to tell her that the Li family wanted to marry the Hou Mansion, and said, "Tomorrow, I will make an appointment with several old ladies to go to Longen Temple to burn incense. Do your cousin want to go out for a walk? Baozhu Azhu also goes, so as to save you from being bored at home."
Zeng Xuerou was very surprised. Looking at Aji, she gradually had a guess in her heart. She stayed in the capital to marry here. Could it be a chance this time? But, the lady on the side...
Zeng Xuerou lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and soon smiled, "Okay, I've heard of the famous Longen Temple for a long time. Now I can finally go and see it. Thank you for thinking about me."
This time, Aji was shocked and stared at her and asked, "Why did you tell the lady?" She wanted to see if Zeng Xuerou could think of a solution. If she couldn't, she would tell her idea again, just like her mother-in-law's advice. Unexpectedly, Zeng Xuerou could figure it out in a blink of an eye?
Zeng Xuerou smiled casually and raised her chin to Rongshoutang: "I just said that my cousin wanted to go to Ping'anxiang for my cousin, and I also wanted to go there. I will also have a contribution from my cousin when he comes back. She will definitely agree. Cousin, she will agree to anything that can make things difficult for you."
Aji was very impressed. It took her about two quarters of an hour to think of the method, and Zeng Xuerou only took a few blinks.
Seeing Aji's surprise, Zeng Xuerou smiled bitterly and whispered: "It's nothing. If my cousin's wife was me, she would do it at will." Her parents died early and her younger brother was young. She could only rely on judging people's faces to guess people's hearts. Her cousin's wife envied her intelligence, but she envied her cousin's wife for being cared for by her relatives and husbands.
The girl's face was sad, and Aju didn't know how to comfort her, so she introduced her two old ladies to her.
As for the two grandsons of the Li family, Aji speculated that Old Lady Li would probably bring people over, and Zeng Xuerou could see each other by herself. After Cuiyu found out, the grandson of the Li family had already married, and the second grandson Li Zonghua was 18 years old and the youngest grandson Li Zongchang was 15 years old. Both of them worked in the Imperial Guards. They were young and promising, but their appearance was not outstanding. Aji breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that Guo Baozhu had Ji Zhao, and her sister had a little picky vision, so they would just go there as a gambler.
After discussion, Aji gave her daughter to her mother-in-law to take care of her the next day. She led Cuiyuruyi to the front door. Zeng Xuerou chased her from afar and smiled and said hello to her: "Cousin-law wait for me. My aunt and grandmother heard that her cousin was going to go to incense today, so she told me to go with her cousin. Let's ask for peace for my cousin together."
Aji turned around and looked at Zeng Xuerou. She wore a red robe with peonies embroidered with a white long skirt underneath. She was tall and slender with her waist, bright eyes and white teeth, which looked more attractive than last year. Perhaps her wealth could not be compared with Yunyang Bo Mansion. Her demeanor should be worthy of the descendants of the Li family.
However, marriage must be taken by both parties.
He pretended to be displeased and raised his face. Aji got on the carriage first. Zeng Xuerou got on the carriage with her, and when she got into the car, she leaned on Aji's shoulder and smiled: "My cousin's wife, this is quite fun. The lady stayed at home happily. Let's go out to travel around and kill two birds with one stone."
"Stop talking nonsense, sit upright." Aji glanced at her, did not echo her joke, and ordered the coachman to set off for the Lin family.
She didn't want to deliberately fuck her with the wife. Her father-in-law was very nice to her. No matter how bad the wife was, she was her father-in-law's biological mother. If something really happened, her father-in-law would definitely feel bad. At present, the couple and the wife were destined to be unable to reconcile. Aji just wanted to find a good marriage for Zeng Xuerou, and stay in peace with Rongshoutang in the future, and try not to make things difficult for her father-in-law.
Zeng Xuerou was a little annoyed at her frivolity and admitted her mistake in a low voice. Aji didn't blame her, and she smiled and told her about the other things.
Before he knew it, the carriage arrived at the Lin family.
Lin Zhu came out soon, wearing a long willow green dress, a white jade hairpin was simply inserted on her head, and she did not dress up deliberately. However, she was beautiful and as old as a flower. She walked out of the yard pretty and made people shine.
"Sister Xue Rou is here too. We're so lively now." Lin Zhu stepped into the carriage skillfully and sat on the other side of Aju and greeted.
When Aji sent someone to deliver a letter to her last night, she did not mention the matter of Yunyang Bo Mansion, so Lin Zhu just thought that her elder sister wanted to take her out for fun.
Zeng Xuerou smiled and nodded, her eyes swept across Lin Zhujiao's good face, and her heart sank slightly. If it was as she expected, would Old Lady Li fall in love with Lin Zhu? But then again, since her cousin's wife called her, maybe she was just a wandering tour...
Let go of his worries, Zeng Xuerou started chatting with Lin Zhu familiarly.
Shortly after they left the city gate, the Guo family, Ji family and Li family carriages arrived one after another, and everyone would go to Longen Temple with them.
Guo Baozhu likes the most lively, so of course she ran to the Zhao family carriage again. As soon as she got on the carriage, she whispered to the three girls: "Did you see the man riding a horse in front of the Li family carriage? I guess it is mostly Li Zonghua, the second grandson of Mrs. Li, haha, she is so strong, she looks much stronger than my brother. I don't know which of them can beat whom."
Lin Zhu wanted to watch the fun after hearing this, but just glanced at the elder sister and sat down obediently without moving.
Guo Baozhu is a clear-minded person and is not as afraid of Aju as Lin Zhu. She looked at Zeng Xuerou and Lin Zhu and said with a smile: "I think Old Lady Li wants to give Li Zonghua's wife this time. I wonder who will fall in love with you two. Are you not curious about what he looks like?"
"Baozhu!" Aji only felt a headache and cursed with a tense face: "If you talk nonsense, just take a car with your aunt!"
Lin Zhu lowered her head and laughed secretly, Zeng Xuerou also turned her head and looked aside, and Yu Guang glanced at Lin Zhu.
Guo Baozhu shrank her neck and muttered in a low voice: "There is no outsider, sister-in-law, why are you angry? OK, I won't say it's okay, I'll see the scenery." As she said that, she turned around, raised the curtains and looked out.
Just as Aju was about to persuade her to sit down, Guo Baozhu suddenly shouted to Lin Zhu excitedly: "Azhu, come and see, Li Zonghua has stopped!" He lifted the curtain high.
Lin Zhu sat side by side with her. Although she was afraid of her elder sister, she couldn't help but be curious. She turned around and looked out. Sure enough, she saw a tall man sitting on the horse with thick eyebrows and slender eyes, which was thin and small. She couldn't be said to be handsome, but she could be considered a straight facial feature, and she looked very calm and reliable.
Lin Zhu laughed and turned her head to Zeng Xueju and said, "Sister Xuerou, look, are you still satisfied?"
In fact, Zeng Xuerou sat in front of the curtains. When Guo Baozhu opened the curtains, she saw it. At this time, when Lin Zhu joked, her face became hot, and she wanted to refuse. Guo Baozhu and Lin Zhu pulled her over together. She screamed in panic and wanted to hide. When Li Zonghua heard the movement outside, he looked up and saw a beautiful girl in the car window blushing and seemed to be defending someone. The next moment, she hurriedly pulled the curtain down.
A burst of laughter came from the carriage. Li Zonghua forgot his followers and watched the carriage get closer and closer.
That's the girl my grandmother wants him to look at?
Very pretty...
But what are they laughing at?
Li Zonghua touched his hair crown and suddenly became nervous, afraid that the girl would look down on him. At the same time, he was quite glad that his third brother looked better than him. Because he was in order, it was his turn to marry his wife, so this time my grandmother did not let his third brother go with him.
