The news spread to the backyard, which also caused a lot of turmoil.
"Girl, you didn't see that Mrs. Shizi was so angry that she almost vomited blood. That look on her face was so wonderful." Xiao Sang talked about the front yard enthusiastically, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, with a smile on his face. Happy and elated.
"After Mrs. Jing and Mr. Li left, they still asked someone to help them back."
Originally, Xiao Sang was upset because Su Fu had robbed Su Wan of her marriage. She wanted to marry into Prince Zhao's palace, but her own girl wanted to marry Li Lin. She felt that it was too frustrating. Now when the two families compare, Xiao Sang I felt a breath of bad breath coming out, and even Li Lin found it pleasing to the eye.
The marriage proposal in Prince Zhao's Mansion was widely spread, and Su Fu was embarrassed. If she knew that Li Lin had given Su Wan such a heavy gift, she would have vomited blood on the spot. The majestic Prince Zhao's Mansion was worse than a poor student.
Xiao Fei said: "That's what she deserves. Wicked people will have their own troubles. Others say that it is good to marry into Prince Zhao's palace. It seems that the fourth girl will still have to face hardships in the future. Even the proposal of marriage is enough for the world to laugh at. Her whole life.”
"Although Young Master Li is from an ordinary background, he is very interested in girls."
Xiao Wei didn't know Li Lin at first, so when she learned from Xiao Sang that Su Wan had decided to marry Li Lin, a boy from a poor family, she was surprised and worried. After all, for a noble girl, marrying into a good husband's family is the most important thing. That's the best place to stay.
It's a pity that the marriage in Prince Zhao's Mansion was robbed by Su Fu. Her own girl wanted to get married, but she had no choice. Now it seems that Mr. Li attaches great importance to the girl. He not only invited Mrs. Jing to be a matchmaker, but also gave the girl such a heavy gift to propose marriage. , she also felt relieved.
She had the same idea as Xiao Sang. Her own girls were the foundation for her to stand on. For example, maidservants like them, except for the children born in the family, those who were bought in were either their families were ruined and homeless, or they were sold by their biological parents and relatives, and their status was They are so lowly that no one else cares about their life or death except for the girls who have served them for many years.
No matter where you go, following the girl is the best way out.
Su Wan listened to the two people talking about what happened in the front yard. She was a little happy at first. Even if there was no emotional basis for the marriage, she was naturally happy that the other party valued her. But after she was happy, she became a little worried.
According to Xiao Sang, the wedding gifts cost several thousand taels of silver. Where did he get the money? Could it be that they have emptied all their wealth?
Although she liked him making her look good, doing something like emptying out her family's wealth was a bit too much.
After all, the one thousand taels of silver she gave was really too little...
She thought to herself whether she should send him some more banknotes, because he might not even be able to eat now.
In the evening, after Mrs. Jing and Li Lin were politely sent out, Mrs. Wang ordered people to count the gifts sent by the Li family, and then sent the gift cakes, melons and candies to the courtyards of each sister, leaving the rest for Su Wan. The things were ordered to be delivered to Su Wan's yard.
While the master and servant were talking in the room, someone reported that the gift from Mr. Li had been delivered, and a copy of the gift list was also handed over, indicating which item was sent to whom.
"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Mei." The person who can best serve the Wang family is called Aunt Mei. Wang is old and doesn't like to be served by flower-like little girls. Instead, they use the likes of daughter-in-law, aunt, and so on. The first one is in front of Shi.
"Sixth Miss, you are so polite. My slave, congratulations to Sixth Miss. The Li family son is very handsome, and he is very devoted to the girl."
Aunt Mei is well versed in the principles of life in a high-class mansion. Her master is the Wang family, and she is always polite to the grandchildren of the Wang family.
"Thank you Aunt Mei."
Meigu said: "Many of the gifts given by the Li family today are for the girl. Madam asked the servant to bring them to the girl. They are all good things. The girl can see for herself."
Su Wan agreed and asked Xiao Sang to count the things. After checking that there were no problems with the list, Mei Gu said goodbye and left.
Xiao Sang opened the box and took a look, took out the little white jade squirrel hairpin, and said with a smile: "I just heard that this hairpin is very good. Now when I look at it, the water head is really good. Take a look, girl."
"It's so beautiful."
Su Wan took the thing and took a look. The little squirrel on it was very lifelike, holding its big tail and looking very cute. She touched it and she liked it very much.
"There is also this rhombus soft silk. Even the nobles in the palace don't have a whole piece. When I have some free time another day, let Zhixiu make two inner coats and a small coat for the girl. The girl will be comfortable to wear."
Xiao Sang was making various arrangements with great interest. Su Wan smiled and touched the hairpin with his fingers, but he was thinking about whether to send money.
The people in Guanyuan are happy, but the air pressure in Furongyuan is a bit low.
Su Fu accidentally bumped into her maid talking about this matter. After asking about it, she threw a cup and became very angry: "I'm just a child from a poor family. What's so good about me? I don't know what kind of life I'm going to live if I get married in the future!" "
"How can that poor man compare with the Third Young Master!"
Su Fu was so angry that her brain was confused. When she thought about the marriage proposal for her in Prince Zhao's Mansion, and then when she thought about the marriage proposal from the Li family today, people outside didn't know how to laugh at her!
He was clearly a short-lived ghost who died early, but he was even more glorious than her!
Bai He and Bai Zhi stood aside and did not dare to speak, for fear of irritating Su Fu. These days, Su Fu was confined in Furong Garden and could not go out, and her temper was not very good. At this time, it was best for them not to speak.
Besides, they were picked up halfway, and they were not just maids to serve her. If they offended her, they might be sent somewhere else.
At this time, Pingbaihou Mansion.
"Second Madam, the Marquis of Jinning has sent you a gift."
Su Ruo was taking care of a young child. She looked at the maid outside through the gauze curtain, frowned and asked, "What gift?!"
"The cakes, fruits and candies given to the sixth girl for her marriage proposal were said to be for the third girl." The cakes and fruits in the gift boxes were all given to her sisters. Although Su Ling was not in the house, Mrs. Wang was still thinking about her. Have someone deliver it quietly.
"Oh?! The sixth girl's marriage has been negotiated? Which family has she decided on?"
"It's the young master named Li, the one who caused a lot of rumors before."
Su Ruo paused and her eyes changed. Seeing that the child was asleep, she got up, opened the gauze curtain and walked out, asking the maid: "Master Li? Is my third uncle willing?!"
"My servant heard that my family is very satisfied with Mr. Li. Today Mr. Li came to ask for marriage and asked Mrs. Jing to act as a matchmaker. The gift was also heavy, including a piece of Mizhou Lingsha soft silk that is hard to find. Already accepted."
Su Ruo frowned, walked two steps in place, and finally asked the slave to deliver the things to Su Ling: "Go and deliver the things to the third girl. Tell her these words and let her know. What should I do?"
"yes."
