The next day, Chu Xinyu took Zhubo to Anshan Hall to pay tribute. Only Old Lady Chu and Madam Sun were there in the room. When Old Lady Chu saw her coming in, she pulled her to her side and looked again and again, "These days I have come back, your face has become more and more fat, and the girl's house is still a little fatter and better."

"Yes, I've eaten well and slept soundly these days, but it would be strange if I don't get fat." Chu Xinyu smiled. In fact, she knew her physical condition and could she get fat in a few days after she came back? But she was tired from the boat and looked a little haggard a few days ago. After she got back, she had a good rest and looked naturally beautiful.

Old Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "Although she looks a little fleshy, her body is still a little thin. A few days ago, your sister-in-law came to the palace and the Queen Mother gave her some precious medicinal materials such as bird's nest, deer antler, snow lotus, etc. She gave me some. I'll ask Madam Sun to send it to you. What do you want to eat in the future? Just tell your mother."

Chu Xinyu immediately shook his head and said, "Grandmother, that's my sister-in-law's filial piety to you, I can't ask for it."

"What to say, your sister-in-law gives me is mine, so I can handle it as much as I can. Besides, I have a lot of medicinal materials, so don't push it." Old Mrs. Chu said the matter, and the decision was not allowed to be refuted. Chu Xinyu couldn't refuse anymore. Old Mrs. Chu continued: "Sister Four has made a mistake, I have punished her, so don't keep it in your heart."

Chu Xinyu nodded slightly.

Old Mrs. Chu sighed lightly, "Actually, my grandmother understands that she really owe you too much. If we hadn't been careless and had your brother been kidnapped and later brutally killed by a trafficker, your mother wouldn't have been sad and hurt her body too much. After leaving, she left you in her infancy and left you without support in this family."

After hearing the old lady Chu's words, Chu Xinyu's eyes immediately turned red. As she remembers, few people in this family would mention her biological mother Mei and her brother in front of her. What she knew was that when Mei was pregnant, her brother, who had just passed her fifth birthday, was lost in the market. Later, it was found that she was abducted by a child, and Mei became depressed because of this.

Later, when she gave birth to her, she almost jumped to death. Although she barely saved her life, her body collapsed after this incident. A month later, the bad news came that her brother was killed by a kidnapped and abandoned his body in the wilderness due to escape. Mei was heartbroken and vomited blood and died on the spot.

At that time, she was still in her infancy, and Aunt Wang had only given birth to Chu Jia for five months and had no time to take care of her, so her grandmother suggested that her father remarry.

After Yuan entered the door, he was indeed good to her. Not only did she let her wear gold and silver, but she was indulged in everything. She was afraid of being cold when it was cold, afraid of being hot when it was hot, afraid of being hot when it was hot, afraid of being hot when it was drunk, and afraid of falling when it was walking, she was never willing to scold and punish her, for fear that she would suffer a little grievance. As long as she wanted, she could get it with just a tantrum.

Seeing her severely scolding her sister, the eighth sister and the sixth brother, she felt guilty. So, Yuan was very kind to her, so she treated her 200% good to her siblings. There was something delicious and fun. The first thing she thought of was their siblings.

Knowing that the sixth sister likes to study and wants to be the number one talented woman in Beijing, she pretends not to love reading; the eighth sister likes to knitting girl, she likes to dance with guns and sticks. What she doesn't like, Yuan never forced herself to do so.

Sister Six always says that she is old-fashioned, and when she is with her, people will always be called her sister and she is the younger sister. For this reason, she deliberately dressed herself up to highlight Sister Six's beauty. As long as she is happy, it doesn't matter if she is a clown.

When she heard others say that her stepmother abused the children of the original match, she often beat and scolded and punished her stepmother. When she had a stepmother, she felt sad. She secretly fortunately met a good stepmother. If she hadn't been sent to Puling Temple, she accidentally eavesdropped on the conversation between the Yuan family and the daughter of the Yuan family and the various dangers she encountered in Puling Temple, she reflected on herself, but she was afraid that she would still be deceived by the Yuan family and the daughter of the Yuan family.

Old Mrs. Chu didn't know Chu Xinyu's ups and downs at this moment. Seeing her eyes were red and wet, she patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, as long as you are well-behaved and obedient, the Hou Mansion will naturally not treat you badly."

Being well-behaved and obedient? Chu Xinyu couldn't help but think sarcastically, whether he was sold by the Marquis' Mansion, and he would say thank you with a smile.

Old Mrs. Chu remembered something and asked her: "By the way, you are over the age of your hairpin, are you?"

Chu Xinyu nodded, "Yes, last year's twelfth lunar month." She was fifteen years and five months old.

Old Mrs. Chu asked Madam Sun to take a brand new set of headdresses in her jewelry box and gave it to Chu Xinyu as her hairpin gift. She gave her three silver notes and explained: "Your hairpin gifts have passed, so I won't do it anymore. These silver notes are used as compensation for you, and I will buy some extra sets of clothes for myself."

"Thank you grandma!"

Chu Xinyu did not refuse and accepted it happily.

Old Mrs. Chu said again: "It's time to discuss kinship after the hairpin."

Finally, I turned to the point. I thought that yesterday's retort with Fu Guanyu would make them dispel the idea of ​​marriage without any ladies. Unexpectedly, it was a waste of time to act.

Chu Xinyu lowered her eyes, her ears were slightly red, and she looked shy, at least on the surface she was sohaved.

"But your mother is very concerned about your marriage. She told you about a marriage. With your reputation and the current situation in the Marquis' Mansion, we are actually arguing, but the other party doesn't care about it."

Chu Xinyu pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and said, "Since ancient times, marriage matters have been the orders of parents. The matchmaker's words, Yu'er obeys your arrangements in everything, but I don't know which young master my mother likes for Yu'er?"

Generally, such questions should not be asked by girls' families. Although they know them well, they have to ask for the next question.

"The third young master of Duke Ying's Mansion."

"Ying Duke's Mansion?" Chu Xinyu pretended to be surprised.

Old Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "That's right, a young man with good knowledge and talent is now at the Jinyiwei deputy, and his future is unlimited."

I originally planned to talk to Chu Xinyu until the marriage is settled, but in order to make up for my guilt towards her, I told her about the marriage beforehand, which is also a kind of compensation for her. As for whether she can succeed depends on God's will.

"Grandmother, we are arguing about this marriage." Chu Xinyu lowered his eyes, bit his lip, and said, "Yu'er is self-aware. In terms of talent and knowledge, I don't have the intelligence of my sixth sister, and in terms of girl Hong, I don't have the talent of my eighth sister. In terms of character, I have a criminal record. With the conditions of the Duke of Ying's Mansion, no one can get married. Why do I look down on me?"

The old lady Chu's face darkened, unhappy that she belittled herself so much, "Don't belittle yourself, you also have your own advantages. It is your blessing to make the Duke of Ying fall in love with you, and others don't have it." At least her beauty is no match for those noble girls in the capital.

Chu Xinyu said: "There is no free lunch in the world, and it is a major event in life. You should find out the other party's background so that you can't make trouble, but become enemies. Wouldn't that be worth the loss?"

"Why didn't you figure it out? His family background, talent and official position are all here. Can you hide it and cheat?"

"Grandmother, grandson is talking about character."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Chu was a little hesitant, remembering that Yuan said that the other party was a bit erratic, but who among the rich families is not like this now? When she married their grandfather, she saw him visiting brothels with her own eyes, but after getting married, she realized that what she saw might not be real. Their grandfather didn't go there to do errands at that time.

Chu Xinyu begged: "I know my grandmother cares about me, but the other party's external conditions are really good. The good ones make me feel uneasy. Grandmother, just treats it as checking my dead mother and brother for my death, and carefully check if there are any other hidden diseases in other people. If he is really a good match, Yu'er will never postpone it."

"Okay, grandmother will ask someone to check it out." Although the old lady Chu thought that the Chu family's daughter had to consider the Chu family in advance, it was not easy to think of the fifth girl. Besides, the Marquis' demotion had nothing to do with her, so she should not be fully responsible. For the sake of the dead Mei family and the grandson, the old lady Chu finally compromised.
