849, hate marriage
"Is the concubine writing a letter to the old lady?" If Zheng Wanli had something, she would not come back directly to discuss it with the old lady, how could she suddenly write a letter?
Huamei nodded, "Yes! The letter was returned from the dowry nanny of the concubine's concubine. She avoided the old lady who gave it to the old lady. No one saw it. After seeing it, the old lady asked me to burn it with a brazier. Only then did I know that the nanny came back to deliver the letter!"
A letter has to avoid people. Could it be that something shameful is written in the letter?
Mrs. Zheng Si couldn't help but remember what the old lady said about Xu Shu was not young. This was the first time the old lady mentioned Xu Shu's marriage. Maybe she was bewitched by someone. Now it seems that she must have nothing to do with Zheng Wanli's letter.
The thrush even said such secrets. This was an adult's request. Mrs. Zheng Si accepted the favor of the thrush. "Okay, I understand!" She pulled out a simple gold hairpin from her head and gave it to the thrush. "You are the old lady's side, and you dare not give you any jewelry to you, so as not to be suspicious when you see it. You can use this to melt it into the style you like!"
Huamei hesitated and refused to take it. She had confiscated the things of several wives and young grandmothers at home, but this was the first time she had "betrayed" the old lady in exchange for property, and she always felt a little embarrassed.
"Hold it!" Mrs. Zheng Si forced her into the hands of the thrush, "You are not young anymore, and it has been in the past two years for you to let it go. You have to save some dowry for yourself, right?"
Huamei nodded, "Thank you, Mrs. Fourth!"
"Go back quickly! The old lady can't live without you!"
Huamei broke her body and left, Jin Ling walked up and said, "I just saw... I saw Huamei sister, she took the hairpin you gave me..."
"You read that right!"
Jin Ling looked unbelievable, "The thrush has never been... She is..."
"As old, I always have some ideas!" Mrs. Zheng Si smiled faintly, "When you reach old age, if you don't want to stay, you must tell me so as not to delay you!"
Jin Ling's face turned red and she was coquettish, "Madam! Miss Jiu has been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Xiaojiu?" Mrs. Zheng Si hurried back, "Are you coming to Puyuxuan directly?"
Xu Shu smiled and nodded, "I always feel that it is unusual for the old lady to look for her mother so anxiously, so I come to Puyuxuan to wait for you!"
"It's really abnormal!" Mrs. Zheng Si chuckled, "You guys guessed it all!"
Xu Shu's brows moved slightly, "Is it... the Fu family?"
"Yes!" Mrs. Zheng Si nodded, "The Fu family asked Mrs. Gui to give me advice!"
"It's Mrs. Gui again?" Xu Shu was a little surprised. The Gui family was the mother's home of the eldest young master of the Fu family. It was not the turn of brother and sister-in-law to intervene in the marriage of Fu Junqian. Xu Shu thought the Fu family would ask other families to come forward! "Last time I came back from the Li family, and the Fu family was also Mrs. Gui. The Fu family was very close to the Gui family!"
Mrs. Zheng Si nodded, "The Gui family was also a very remarkable family. During the Emperor Taizu, the Gui family held a 500,000 army and was in power for a while. However, the younger generations enjoyed their achievements and were unable to succeed. So gradually declined. Now the head of the Gui family is taking the fourth-rank vacancies, and everything depends on the Fu family's support. Naturally, only the Fu family's orders are listened to!"
Finally, Mrs. Zheng Si added, "Originally, my mother's Qian family was similar, but later she lost her place in the court, so she simply asked for a release, and she was free!" The Qian family's freedom was not only because she released her, but also because the Qian family was outside Beijing, without restraints and good at managing, and accumulated a large amount of wealth, so she truly became free.
"Since the Fu family is so generous that Mrs. Gui comes to propose marriage on their behalf, I probably didn't expect her mother to refuse. Now Mrs. Gui is probably a little embarrassed when she goes back to face the Fu family!" Mrs. Zheng Si refused the Fu family's proposal. Mrs. Gui did not fulfill the Fu family's instructions, but was afraid that she would be blamed by the Fu family, especially the Gui family exists based on the Fu family.
"That's nothing. You can't make things difficult for her to make things difficult for her, right? You don't want to marry into the Fu family, and what you said is right. Now the rumors about you in Beijing have finally dispersed a little. If we agree, then we will confirm the rumors. On the contrary, once we refuse, the rumors will be broken!"
It was precisely because of this that Xu Shu proposed this and Mrs. Zheng Si agreed. However, thinking of Mrs. Gui's attitude just now, Mrs. Zheng Si felt that Mrs. Gui deserved to be rolled by the Fu family. "Mrs. Gui mentioned the rumors in Beijing just now. Judging from her meaning, she wanted to put this infamous on you. I think she wanted you to marry into the Fu family with the infamous reputation, but she couldn't raise her head, so she was suppressed by her daughter! Bah, I didn't know her thoughts, but I just didn't bother to argue with her!"
Xu Shu chuckled, "This is nothing, mother, don't be angry!"
"I'm not angry!" Mrs. Zheng Si said again, "But the old lady was very unhappy when she saw Mrs. Gui coming to the door!" The old lady was naturally unhappy because the old lady was looking at Zheng Wanli and looking at King Qing. The Fu family was not the one who was Qing's pump, so the old lady naturally didn't want to have too much interaction with the Fu family. "But if I rejected the Fu family, the old lady's face would be better!"
"The old lady is really planning to rely on King Qing now!" After all, the queen has no hope. It is understandable that the old lady has placed it on King Qing for the future of the Zheng family.
"No one can rely on this day!" Mrs. Zheng chuckled, "By the way, if Concubine Zheng has something to come to you recently, don't agree!"
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Zheng Si suddenly said this, and Xu Shu couldn't help but feel that something was about to happen.
"Just just now, the old lady suddenly mentioned your marriage. This is the first time that the old lady mentioned your marriage in front of me! I felt a little weird in my heart. Later, Huamei sent me back. I asked her about it. Concubine Zheng wrote a letter to the old lady, but it still sent it secretly, without letting anyone know. Although she didn't know what was written in the letter, it was definitely not a good thing to see this behavior. You have to be more careful about her!"
Xu Shu nodded, Zheng Wanli was always holding on to the point of being in trouble, she was always on guard against her, but Xu Shu was surprised that Huamei would reveal the old lady's affairs, "Will Huamei actually tell her mother this?"
"Yes! I just mentioned it tentatively, but I didn't expect that the thrush actually said it, and I was also surprised!"
Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "Although the thrush is domineering, she is a wise man. Since she sells her mother's goodness, she must have made some plans!"
Mrs. Zheng Si nodded in praise, "Although the thrush is following the old lady, she has suffered a lot of grievances with the old lady's temper. Now that she is old this year, the old lady still keeps her by her side. It is normal for her to have other thoughts!"
