"What my cousin said is indeed very reasonable. But Miss Jiang is in her 28th year, and she is still waiting for marriage. She is afraid that someone else will take the opportunity to come to her house to talk about matchmaking. If someone else gets there first, wouldn't she call her cousin by then? A longing for nothing?"
At this time, Xie Renhuai was wearing a long satin coat with an azure dark pattern, white face, thick eyebrows and deep eyes. He was sitting upright in front of the table and chair. No matter how he looked, he was a handsome young man worthy of women's reliance.
When he said these words, his eyes were solemn and he had a worried look on his face. If he didn't know, he would naturally soften his heart and think that he had a deep love for Miss Jiang and that she must obey his wishes.
pity……
Song Yueyi put a silk handkerchief against her lips and teeth and coughed for a while. Fang Qingqing gasped and said gloomily: "My cousin's worries are not unreasonable. But if I behave like this, being disrespectful is a trivial matter. When the time comes, it will be my cousin's business." It's counterproductive and not beautiful. If you let me raise it for a few more days..."
Xie Renhuai shook his head, "My cousin's complexion is not good. A little more rouge and gouache can cover it up, and it won't let the Jiang family see the clues and criticize her. It also depends on whether my cousin has the heart."
Song Yueyi rubbed the handkerchief secretly. He insisted on doing so, and he might not be able to shirk it today.
But she didn't want to make a wedding dress for others, and in the end, this ungrateful person scolded her for meddling in other people's affairs, preventing him from marrying his beloved in an upright manner.
Mrs. Xie watched her lower her eyes and said nothing, feeling a little unhappy in her heart. If she hadn't considered that Song Xianzong, as the Minister of Rites, would be helpful to the Xie family in the future, how could she have taken the initiative to make an agreement with Xie Jingling with Song Yueyi? marriage? As a result, Xie Jingling was unhappy when she mentioned this matter from time to time over the past few years, and even had some resentment towards her.
Now is the time to use her, but she has been pushed back and forth. Now that she has not entered the Xie family's door, and her reputation is already out there, I am afraid she has no choice but to get this done!
"Yuanyuan, yesterday the mansion received a letter from Jin Zhi, saying that if there is no delay on the way, he will come back in the next few days. This time, the affairs in the yamen have almost been dealt with, and the return to Jianghu should focus on discussions this time. It’s about getting married to you. You also know his temperament. If anything happens to Renhuai’s marriage at this juncture, I’m afraid your affairs will get complicated again..."
Mrs. Xie sighed slightly, her words filled with worry.
Song Yueyi didn't understand that this was a reminder to her. If she didn't try her best to bring Xie Renhuai and Miss Jiang together, Xie Jingling would postpone their marriage.
Thinking of how Xie Jingling treated her cruelly in her previous life, now she wished that their marriage would just end.
How could the relationship between a man and a woman be as important as her life?
Since you can't refuse on the face of it, you have to think of another way.
"What the old lady and cousin said are unreasonable, so I would rather respect them than obey them."
Xie Renhuai was overjoyed and said, "Very good. Then I will ask someone to prepare the gift now."
…
When it was almost dusk the next day, Jinglan, the girl next to Song Yueyi, went to Qin Academy to invite Xie Renhuai to Chunshu Academy. She said that she would go to the Jiang Mansion early tomorrow morning and some matters would need to be discussed intensively.
As a result, Xie Renhuai was not around and Jinglan had no choice but to take Chuntao, the eldest girl in the courtyard, to Chunshu Courtyard to give an explanation.
"Chuntao, it's already this hour. Your fifth master should have gone to school long ago. Why isn't he in the yard?"
Song Yueyi was wearing a dark green fox fur cloak, holding a heater in her hands, her delicate little face was sickly and wilted, still bloodless, making the whole room look a little pale.
Chuntao lowered her head, "The Fifth Master previously told me that today is the birthday of a classmate, and that he will go to a restaurant to have a party in the evening. If my cousin is anxious, I will go and find the Fifth Master now."
Song Yueyi sighed slightly, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, but there can't be any mistakes in going to the Jiang Mansion tomorrow. After all, it's about the marriage between your fifth master and Miss Jiang."
"The Jiang family is noble and a kind and courteous family. They know right from wrong and respect the humble. The fifth master grew up in the countryside. Last time, he made many preparations and managed to get him into the eyes of Miss Jiang. But this time he has to face It is Mr. Chiang and Mrs. Chiang who have met countless people."
"To be more sure, I have to explain some rules and etiquette to Mr. Wu carefully to make people feel at ease."
"Otherwise, if I miss such a wonderful noble girl, I'm afraid the fifth master will be trapped in this small house and live in mediocrity for the rest of his life."
Chuntao lowered her eyebrows and said, "I know this, and I will go find the Fifth Master to return home."
After she left, Qinlan followed her out and asked Liuyun to guard the second gate. Once the fifth master came back, he would take him directly to Chunshuyuan.
Jinglan in the room was a little dissatisfied and added new fragrant cakes to the incense burner, "The girl has put all her efforts into the fifth master's marriage, but the fifth master himself has not made any progress. What do you mean by going to a classmate's birthday party? I'm afraid I'm going to sleep with Miss Yuqiong."
Song Yueyi tightened the cloak on her shoulders and coughed lightly.
Jinglan stepped forward and patted her on the back, "The girl has been sick in recent months. I don't think she knows. The fifth master has recently fallen in love with Miss Yuqiong, the Qinghuan of Yichun Pavilion. I heard that she is the number one in Yichun Pavilion. I don't know." What tricks were used to redeem her body and keep her outside."
"The old lady knew this, but she just scolded the fifth master behind closed doors. Then she turned around and forced the girl to go to Jiang's house to bring him and Miss Jiang together."
"If this marriage really happens, and these dirty things are revealed again, the girl will probably offend the Jiang family as well, and become a human being inside and outside. There is no way that the Song family and the Jiang family will have to be married. Let go of grudges.”
Song Yueyi pressed her chest. Even a servant like Jinglan could clearly see the pros and cons. Would Mrs. Xie and Xie Renhuai not be clear about it?
They only care about their own interests. How could he care about her life and death?
After all this time, how could she not know that Xie Renhuai had raised a foreign wife? How could he not know that Xie Renhuai and his wife's true love were true?
Xie Renhuai finally vented all the grievances he suffered on his wife. With such hatred and resentment, how could she make the same mistake in her dream again?
Now that she knows the effect, why should she plant the cause?
According to her previous temperament, after this incident, she would definitely ask Liu Yun to capture Xie Renhuai back from Wenrou Township.
Then treat him with courtesy and affection, and teach him how to deal with the Jiang family...
Hearing that Jinglan was still complaining, she saw that Wen's mother was about to enter the house. She was afraid that Wen's mother would scold her for not knowing how to advance or retreat, so she only reminded her slightly: "Chuntao has been with the fifth master for four or five years. One of them was put by the fifth master. In the outer room at the top of my heart, there is a noble girl who pays attention to rules and etiquette through generations of poems and books. No matter who becomes the master, she will not have a place as a slave who cares about the fifth master..."
Jinglan's eyes widened in surprise and she mumbled, "No wonder Chuntao didn't panic when she left. It turns out there was something else..."
Song Yueyi coughed and interrupted her, and Jinglan quickly helped her wash up as if nothing had happened.
