There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 605

[Chapter 605 Some people are happy while others are sad (two chapters in one)]

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Fourth Mrs. Zhu, who was furious, and Zhu Qiyun, who was powerless about her own fate, raised their heads and looked at the porter.

Fourth Mrs. Zhu stood up abruptly, wiped the tears off her face hastily, and asked eagerly, “Did the Yan family post a message for us?” The

porter nodded quickly.

Fourth Mrs. Zhu’s eyes lit up suddenly, and without paying attention to the other people in the room who were stunned, she grabbed the post in the concierge’s hand and quickly read it. When she saw the content on it, she burst into tears and laughed at the same time.

Mrs. Zhu was stunned for a moment, then hurried over to take the post in Mrs. Zhu’s hand and read it.

“Third sister-in-law, is it true that the Yan family invited us to the prefect’s birthday banquet?”

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

At this time, the Yan family suddenly posted a post, and Mrs. Zhu naturally understood the meaning in her heart. Thinking that the Yan family had agreed to accept Qi Yun, who had been divorced, and thinking about her daughter whose marriage had not yet been settled, she felt slightly blocked and indifferent. nodded.

The fourth Mrs. Zhu didn’t care about Mrs. Zhu’s attitude at all. She quickly took the post and looked at it carefully again. Maybe she was too excited and her hands were shaking.

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

Both are mothers, and she can understand the feelings of the four younger siblings.

Mrs. Zhu eased her tone, and said with a smile: “Okay, look at you, you don’t look like a mistress, don’t let the servants see the joke.”

Mrs. Zhu said with a smile: “Sister-in-law three No wonder, I am very happy.”

The elders of the second clan looked at Zhu Jiaoyu.

Zhu Jiaoyu hurriedly signaled Mrs. Zhu to bring the post.

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

Zhu Qiyun had recovered from her shock, looked at the elders of the second clan and Zhu Jiaoyu, and knew that they had something to say, so she went to help her. Mrs. Fourth Zhu: “Mother, let’s go back first.”

Mrs. Fourth Zhu glanced at the elders of the second clan, and bowed her knees: “I was rude just now, please don’t blame the second uncle.”

The elders of the second clan also softened their expressions. “It’s understandable for a mother to be anxious about her daughter’s marriage. I can understand it. Okay, go down and rest.”

At this moment, Mrs. Zhu left with Zhu Qiyun’s support.

As soon as the mother and daughter left, the elders of the second clan took the post and read it carefully. After reading it, they asked Zhu Jiaoyu, “Does the Yan family really like Qiyun?

” With pity, he nodded and said: “The last time we went to the Yan family, the old lady Yan and the eldest lady of the Yan family had a good impression of Qiyun, but the second lady of the Yan family was a little concerned about Qiyun’s resignation.”

The elders of the second clan were silent . up.

Zhu Jiaoyu thought about the help his fourth brother had given him, thought for a while, and said, “Although the second wife of the Yan family is white, after all, there is the support of the prefect of Yan, and the eldest son of the Yan family is now a juren, and the Yan family has reconciled with others. The little prince, the Dong family, the Su family, and the Zhou family are close friends, although the background is still a little weak, but the lintel has already been raised, it would be a good thing if Qi Yun can really marry into the Yan family.”

The elders of the two clans nodded and looked at Mrs. Zhu “I was a little hasty just now. Your four younger siblings probably have a grudge in your heart. Find a time to solve her.”

He didn’t really want to push Zhu Qiyun into a fire pit. Whoever is beneficial to the Zhu family, he will take care of the family. .

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

Seeing that her master and the elders of the second clan were talking, Mrs. Zhu went out of the house. As soon as she came out, she saw her daughter standing under the eaves looking into the house: “What are you doing? Are there any rules?”

Zhu Xiuyun stepped forward with a smile and took Mrs. Zhu’s arm: “Mother, I heard that the Yan family posted a message to our family. Is this true or not?”

Mrs. Zhu nodded.

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

Mrs. Zhu also looked puzzled: “Who would have thought that they would change their minds? , Forget it, don’t think about it, mother will ask the people from the sewing room to make clothes for you, and now the Yan family invited us to be a guest, so you can go too.”

Zhu Xiuyun was immediately happy: “That’s great, I can finally go see Yishuang and the others.”

Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, “After you go to the Yan family in a few days, you have to make good friends with the girls of the Yan family.”

Zhu Xiuyun nodded quickly.

On the other side, as soon as Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Qiyun returned to the guest house, Mrs. Zhu hugged her daughter and said, “That’s great, that’s great, let me just say, how could my daughter be a fate?” Thin people.”

Zhu Qiyun wept silently in her mother’s arms, her eyes were no longer as sad as before.

Provincial government, Dong family.

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

Mrs. Dong glanced at the sky, and said in amazement: “Usually Yuan Xuan is helping the master with matters at this time, why come back today?

” Mrs. Dong saluted: “Grandmother, mother.”

Mrs. Dong asked: “Why are you here now, but you have something to do?”

Dong Yuanxuan first joked a few words, and then said somewhat hesitantly: “Grandmother, mother, May 2 The tenth day is Uncle Yan’s birthday, so shouldn’t we go there?”

Mrs. Dong looked at Mrs. Dong: “What, the Yan family posted a post?”

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 doesn’t plan to make a big deal, so we don’t need to go.”

Dong Yuanxuan was a little anxious: “Our family has a good relationship with the Yan family. Let’s go.”

Mrs. Dong looked at her strange grandson 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. Before, she promised her son that she would consider marrying the Yan family, but after receiving a letter from Lord Hou, she simply put this matter behind her.

Now her son and the eldest daughter of Zhaodehou’s mansion have matched their birth horoscopes, a match made in heaven, and she was thinking about when to talk to her son about it.

Seeing her son who was looking at her expectantly, Mrs. Dong fell silent. She seemed to have miscalculated how much her son cared about Yiyi, and after a while, she said, “Son, mother and your grandmother are having a happy event to share with each other.” What do you say?”

Looking at his mother’s guilty expression, Dong Yuanxuan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: “Mother, what is the happy event?”

Just as Mrs. Dong was considering how to speak, Mrs. Dong was the first to smile. Said: “Your grandfather has arranged a marriage for you. She is the eldest daughter of

Zhaodehou’s family. Do you think it is a happy event?” Mrs. Dong: “Mother, didn’t you promise me that you would consider Sister Yan?”

Seeing that her son reacted so strongly, Mrs. Dong quickly said, “Mother has indeed considered it, but after thinking it over and over again, she feels that the relationship between the Yan family and our family is different.” The second gap is a bit big, Yi Yi is good, but she is not suitable for you, not suitable to be your wife.”

Mrs. Dong obviously didn’t know about this, she looked at her grandson, then at her daughter-in-law, pondered for a while, a little He said to Dong Yuanxuan earnestly:

“Yuanxuan, grandma knows that the 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 help you with housework and entertainment.

Sociability .” Dong Yuanxuan quickly interrupted: “These younger sisters are good at it, and she is still in charge of several villages and shops, and she is no worse than the noble daughter of the aristocratic family.”

Mrs. Dong: “Okay, grandma will be Miss Yan She is capable, but her family background is there after all. You are your father’s only legitimate son, and you will support your house in the future. Your wife must be someone who can help you, not someone who needs to rely on you. If you have a Yue family like the Yan family, you will be very tired.”

Dong Yuanxuan: “Grandson is not afraid of being tired!”

Seeing Dong Yuanxuan interrupting herself again, the old lady Dong who has been a monarch for more than ten years showed a trace of fatigue. Unhappy, his voice also sank: “Yuanxuan, you can’t just care about your own temporary preferences, you have to know that the rise and fall of your house is on your shoulders.”

Dong Yuanxuan: “Grandmother, grandson will work hard Yes, sister Yan will also help her grandson well.” Then, she looked at Mrs. Dong, “Mother, I don’t agree with the marriage with Zhaodehou’s family.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Dong became angry: “You This child, you didn’t listen to what my grandmother told you just now, the Zhaodehou Mansion is in the same family as ours, and the eldest daughter of their family is the most suitable candidate to be your wife.”

Dong Yuanxuan: “But I don’t like her.”

Mrs. Dong immediately snorted and said: “Marriage is a big deal, parents’ order, matchmaker’s words, you can’t even see a decent girl, how can you like it or not, only the daughter of someone with poor etiquette will do it. I was seen before marriage.”

Dong Yuanxuan immediately retorted: “Grandmother, how can you say that, I met Sister Yan because our two families have a good relationship.” The

old lady Dong’s expression eased: “I didn’t say what’s wrong with Miss Yan, I just told you that the eldest daughter of Zhaodehou’s family is the real lady. The girls of the local officials’ family are inferior in some aspects. It is caused by origin and vision.”

Seeing what her grandson wanted to say, Mrs. Dong didn’t want to talk nonsense, and said directly: “Okay, you don’t need to say anything, 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 it, What is her origin, and she is only the daughter of a magistrate in this area of Zhongzhou, how can she be worthy of your status as a nobleman?”

Dong Yuanxuan looked in disbelief: “Grandmother, didn’t you like sister Yan very much before?”

The old lady Dong said lightly: “I like that girl very much. She has a good relationship with Yunyao. For Yuanyao’s sake, I will give her a little more face. But grandma likes a lot of ladies. Is it possible that I will marry you back home?” As he spoke, his tone eased a little.

“Yuanxuan, grandma, your father and mother will not harm you. The eldest girl of the Yan family is lively and cheerful. Such a girl is very attractive when she is not married, but it may not be so after she is married.”

” To marry a wife, you should still marry a gentle and virtuous person. Think about it for yourself, if your wife was like Yuan Yao, who ran into the streets every day, would you be happy?

” Ms. Yan family’s thoughts are closed, if you really like beautiful girls, how about grandma giving you two maids who are prettier than Ms. Yan’s family?”

Dong Yuanxuan frowned tightly: “Grandmother, in your eyes Is my grandson such a superficial person?”

Mrs. Dong smiled: “Yes, my grandson is the best, but no matter how good you are, you are still a young man. It is not shameful to like beautiful girls.”

Mrs. Dong saw her son’s face getting more and more ugly, and worried that he would contradict the old lady, she quickly stood up and walked towards her son: “Son, you have to believe that mother and your grandmother are doing it for your own good, you and that girl Yi Yi are really inappropriate. ”

Dong Yuanxuan retorted: “Mother, shouldn’t I decide whether my sister Yan and I are compatible?”

Mrs. Dong snorted and said, “You have the final say. At your age, you can consider issues as comprehensively as we do.” Don’t be fooled by people’s appearances, many people in this world are not useful, after you get married, you will know that grandma is for you.”

Dong Yuanxuan: “I don’t.”

“What’s wrong with you?”

Envoy Dong Buzheng walked in suddenly, looking at Dong Yuanxuan with an ugly face: “You have read the books you have read all these years into the stomach of a dog, and you dare to contradict your grandmother. Go, give me Kneel in the ancestral hall, and think about what you did wrong.”

Mrs. Dong immediately wanted to stop her, but Dong Buzheng shook her head to stop her.

Mrs. Dong also hesitated to speak, which showed that her husband was really angry, and he couldn’t say much, so he could only watch his son go to the ancestral hall with his head depressed.

After the people left, Mrs. Dong said dissatisfiedly: “Why do you have to talk about it? Why are you punishing the child?”

Dong Buzheng sat down: “At this time, we have to cut the mess quickly and let Yuan Xuan know that we are determined. If you give him the slightest illusion that we will back down, he will keep fighting with us.”

Mrs. Dong didn’t want to hear her husband say this about her son: “Yuan Xuan has been very sensible since he was a child, so it’s not like what the master said ”

Dong Buzheng shook his head: “You, you don’t know what it’s like to be a boy who is in love, and he can spare anything.”

Mrs. Dong sighed: “How could this happen? Well, I haven’t heard Yuanxuan mention Yiyi much before, so why did you care about it?”

Mrs. Dong felt sorry for her grandson and groaned: “I think girls from low-level families have poor manners, if it’s really good Girl, of course I know how to avoid suspicion, so I won’t let Yuan Xuan fall into it.”

Mrs. Dong hurriedly said: “Mother, Yiyi and Yuan Yao have the same temperament, maybe she doesn’t even know that Yuan Xuan likes her, don’t you I misunderstood her.”

Mrs. Dong moved her lips, but she didn’t say anything in the end, she knew that she was venting her anger, but there was nothing she could do, no matter whether the eldest girl of the Yan family was intentional or not, she caused a conflict between her grandson and the family. She is just angry.
