Chapter 272: Betrothed
Mrs. Leping Hou wore a camel-colored floral embroidered collar with flesh and pink satin, a black-edged cinnabar stand-up collar, and a cinnabar horse-faced skirt with embroidered gold-covered knees. The pearls and jade rings stopped between the black hair and the hair, with a calm expression. There was a faint smile between the eyebrows and eyes as they spoke, which made people feel good at seeing it.
If she came to propose marriage, then Chu Jiating married and had such a kind-hearted mother-in-law, she was wrong and found a treasure. If she met a picky and stingy mother-in-law, even if her husband pampered her, she would have regrets.
She couldn't help but think of herself. The eldest princess doesn't like her. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not well-matched, which seriously affects the quality of the marriage. She just hopes that the eldest princess is not a narrow-minded person, otherwise everything will be easy to say.
She saw this Mrs. Leping, speaking well and laughing three times first. She was as cheerful as her second aunt. Her legitimate son was gone and she kept the concubine's foster in her name. I heard that she took the initiative to propose it, and few people could do so generous.
Given Chu Jiating's current situation, it would be a good marriage if she could marry her. If she didn't dislike the Seventh Prince not being an orthodox son, she might be able to live a happy life by taking care of her husband and children in peace.
Chu Xinyu heard Mrs. Leping and said to Old Lady Chu: "Old lady, I'm here to apologize to you, right? I didn't teach the young master in the mansion well, so he made him run into the girl in the mansion."
The so-called "to stretch out your hand and not hit people with a smile, not to mention that when Mrs. Leping spoke, her voice was as clear as a spring, which made people feel comfortable to listen. Old Mrs. Chu had experienced too much today and was physically and mentally exhausted. But when she heard her voice, she said strangely, and she actually raised her spirit a little. She smiled and said, "When the child is old, she always has her own ideas. She will not listen to it after teaching. It's okay in the mansion, but when she goes out, it's like a flying boat without a tail, flying around, making parents worry."
Mrs. Leping said yes, and the topic turned back to Zhao Rengui's affairs. She said: "He was a bit outrageous when yesterday's incident. Our Marquis had already punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall for a night. Today I went to see him, and he was cold and hungry and kneeled there straight, which made people feel distressed when they saw it. I thought that this accident might be the fate of the two of them."
After hearing what Mrs. Lepinghou said, Old Mrs. Chu was so happy that she thought that Zhao Rengui knelt all night last night, and was slightly moved by Lepinghou's tutor.
In the important area of the ancestral hall, there is nothing else except incense and candles. I can kneel overnight and straighten my back. The child is a kind-hearted person.
But he is heroic and does not know how to avoid suspicion. If a girl wants to fall into the water or fall down in the future, will he also show a hero to save him?
Although she was thinking this way, she was not afraid of back pain. If it weren't for her granddaughter's solemnity, she wouldn't have the chance to save the beauty, so she would have said Ting's girl so sternly that day.
When Mrs. Leping saw that there was a hesitation between the old lady Chu's eyebrows, she said, "The girl in the house is very talented, and I know she is a high-spirited person. Before coming, the Marquis told me that you must let the old lady be relieved."
In fact, she had inquired before coming. The sixth girl was fourteen years old and had little fame in Jinjing City and had a good reputation. Secondly, although she was the step-sister of the fifth girl, she heard that their sisters were very close before. The fifth girl would be the wife of the Marquis of the Marquis of Peking, the third young lady of the Duke Rongguo Mansion, and the eldest princess' daughter-in-law. This marriage would be beneficial to her son no matter how much she said it.
Old Mrs. Chu fiddled with the Buddhist beads and said, "I can't say that I'm angry. I think Mr. Zhao Qi didn't mean it, but he just likes to show heroism. In fact, his starting point is correct, but if he can be calm and knows that some things can be done and some things cannot be done, I have nothing to deal with in this marriage."
After today, as long as Liu Yatou's marriage is difficult to find, how can Mrs. Leping come in time? If she comes one day later, she is afraid that she will only apologize and will never mention the marriage between the two.
If there is such a mother, it will affect the children. As the saying goes, there will be a daughter. Who dares to marry a woman who is trying to murder her husband's original wife and replace her, and greedy for the dowry of her original wife, trying to kill her stepdaughter, and occupy the dowry of her original wife as a wife.
Mrs. Leping raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "He is still young. If this happens, the Marquis will not care about it. He will not dare to restrain himself in the future. It is better to make a marriage in advance. You can take a look first. If that kid doesn't grow up, this marriage can be discussed again."
Before Chu Jiating could finish her marriage, she decided to settle the marriage first and then marry her after she got married. Besides, the Zhongyi Hou Mansion has two happy events this year, and it would be great to have another one next year. She believed that the old lady Chu would agree to this decision, not to mention that the boy in her family was not only a little from a background, but also enough to match Miss Chu Liu in other aspects.
Chu Xinyu couldn't bear to hear Mrs. Leping's wife say this. Although Chu Jiating's heart is not as cruel as Yuan's, it is because she has a good mother in front of her who has done everything for her and keeps her hands clean. However, once she encounters difficulties or hinders her from doing these things, she can't guarantee whether a second Yuan will appear. After all, she has been wearing a docile and pure mask over the years.
Furthermore, once the marriage is settled, it is not easy to quit the marriage. Now that Mrs. Leping doesn’t know anything, why does she feel like she is cheating on the marriage in the Marquis’s mansion?
Chu Xinyu looked at the old lady Chu, saw her pondering for a moment, and then asked the second lady what she meant. The second lady is now the head of the Hou Mansion and the second aunt of the Sixth Girl, and she also has the right to decide on her marriage.
The second lady had the same idea as Chu Xinyu, and felt a sense of deception. But if you say frankly, no one would accept this marriage, but the Sixth Girl was ruined by Zhao Rengui. No matter what, if the Sixth Girl did not marry Zhao Rengui, no one would ask her.
Putting aside the Yuan family's affairs, the mistakes made by the Sixth Girl did not harm others. She just took it upon herself, and Zhao Rengui must be responsible for his actions.
Then he said to the old lady: "Listen to you, my wife."
The second wife is smart. Although she has the right to ask about the sixth girl’s marriage now, it is wisest to leave it to the old lady to make a decision.
When the old lady saw that the second wife had no objection, she decided to agree to the marriage.
After Mrs. Leping picked up the teacup and took two sips of the teacup, she put it down and gently wiped the tea stains on the corner of her mouth. She looked back and saw the maid wearing a light blue skirt standing behind her handed a brocade box.
As soon as the old lady saw it, she knew that it was the token of marriage prepared by Mrs. Leping.
After receiving the token of a relative, the marriage was decided.
Madam Sun stepped forward and took the brocade box.
Mrs. Leping sat for a while, then stood up and said with a dignified smile: "There is something to do in the mansion, so I will say goodbye first. When the Imperial Heaven Supervision chooses a good day, we will send the Naga and Caili as soon as possible."
When the second wife saw Mrs. Leping out, Old Mrs. Chu breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the marriage would be smooth.
