"Husband, why are you back so early?"
Mrs. Han was shocked and immediately rushed forward.
Han Mingzhe is thirty-five this year. He looks like an elegant scholar, but he is tall and has slightly concave cheeks, making him look thinner.
On weekdays, he would stay at the Ministry of Works until dinner time before returning home. Sometimes he was so busy with official duties that he could not even return home all night.
"Dad!" Hanya Xian also came forward to greet him.
Han Mingzhe looked at Hanya Xian steadily, the smile on his face getting brighter.
He had such a daughter in his life, and she almost always treated her as a man when it came to studying, practicing calligraphy, and behaving in society.
He never thought there was anything wrong with his daughter's family. Looking at what Xian'er said just now, he asked how many men could see so clearly?
He was just worried that his wife would not be able to handle things at home and accepted gifts from others, so he hurried back from the Ministry of Works. He did not expect Xian'er to be so sensible, so he had a false alarm.
"Madam, just listen to Xian'er. From today on, the Han Mansion will close its doors to thank guests. Don't engage in those vain people. Do your official duties well and do practical things well."
News of the marriage between Qiao Han's family soon spread to the Meng family.
Meng Guxue has been a little distracted since the last Lantern Festival.
Mrs. Meng thought that Meng Guxue was still thinking about Qiao Tianjing, so she immediately revealed the news to Meng Guxue, hoping that she would give up her ambition.
After Meng Guxue heard the news, she was stunned for a while.
She had recently been disturbed by another hidden traveler, and even thought of retreating.
But at this moment, when she learned that Qiao Tianjing was already a famous man, Meng Guxue was shocked to realize that there were really fewer and fewer good men.
No, she absolutely couldn't just give in, she couldn't just marry and have children in this dynasty and live an ordinary life that was not worth mentioning!
No matter what, she must give it a try at the Capital Poetry Festival in a month. She will use this to become famous all over the world and become the phoenix flying on the branches!
Mrs. Meng couldn't help but look confused as she watched Meng Guxue suddenly turn from a frost-beaten eggplant to a radiant one.
Has this child figured it out, or is he becoming more and more confused?
——
Mrs. Qiao took Qiao Jiaojiao and made a special trip to the Yanguo Duke's Mansion.
Although the news of the marriage between Qiao Han and his family had spread, Mrs. Qiao still felt it was necessary to tell her father the good news personally.
This time it was just an ordinary visit, so Mrs. Qiao did not submit the post.
When they arrived at the gate of Duke Yan's mansion, the housekeeper hurried over to greet him, looking a little hasty.
Mrs. Qiao was very attentive and asked as she walked inside: "Xie Bo, did something happen in the house?"
Butler Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked a little embarrassed. "Miss, it's the young lady. The young lady has lost her temper. She is in the main hall with the master and the young master right now."
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately felt enlightened.
[My aunt has probably heard the news about the marriage and is feeling unhappy! 】
[She better not think about bullying my mother for a while, otherwise I will bite! Ouch! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao is now more than five months old, and her lower front teeth are slightly protruding. Recently, her teeth have become uncomfortable and tight, and she wants to take a bite of everything she sees!
Mrs. Qiao patted Qiao Jiaojiao gently, with a hint of coldness on her face.
Sister-in-law hasn’t given up yet? He even got into trouble in front of his father!
"Xie Bo, I'm not going anywhere else, I'm just going to the main hall. If I don't explain some things clearly, I'm afraid dad won't be able to live in peace."
Butler Xi was a little frightened, but he had served in the Duke's Mansion since he was a child and knew that the young lady always had ideas and the master loved her very much, so he nodded.
As soon as they reached the door of the main hall, Mrs. Zuo's furious voice came from inside.
"Zuo Heying, go and ask your sister what you mean! How can our Ning'er be inferior to the daughter of a minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
"Last time I went to Qiao Mansion to see her out of kindness, but she gave me a shameless meal. She also said that Da Lang has big ideas and is not suitable for our Ning'er!"
"What, then the daughter of the Han family is suitable?"
"What on earth do Qiao Zhongguo think? Han Mingzhe's reputation in the capital is so bad. He is not afraid of tarnishing the lintel of the Qiao family, so he might as well consider our Duke of Yan!"
"I finally understand. I'm afraid your sister is not dissatisfied with Ning'er, but with me as your sister-in-law!"
"I have talked to Ning'er for a long time. She also likes Da Lang very much. Now that the news has come out, Ning'er has cried several times. What's going on now!"
"Zuo Heying, tell me, is there anyone like this who is my sister?"
"Sister-in-law, if you feel unhappy, just tell me directly. Why bother bringing it to Dad?"
The door creaked open, revealing Mrs. Qiao with a cold look on her face. She was holding Qiao Jiaojiao with bulging cheeks in her arms.
[Hey, this is a typical example of a marriage that fails and turns into a feud! Mother's rejection was so obvious last time, but Aunt Qingqing didn't take it seriously at all! 】
[Moreover, things like kissing should not be mentioned in front of the children before the negotiation is completed. Zuo Anning would cry like that. Didn't her aunt give her hope early on? Maybe I'll give her a guarantee! 】
"Jinger!"
"younger sister!"
Neither Duke Yan nor Zuo Heying expected Mrs. Qiao to suddenly appear.
Mrs. Zuo had been talking a lot just now, but when she suddenly saw Mrs. Qiao, her arrogance suddenly stopped.
However, whenever she thought of Zuo Anning crying into tears in the room, she became extremely angry.
The last time she went back to her parents' house, she boasted that the eldest son of the Qiao family must be her son-in-law.
Now that the news has spread back, the sisters-in-law at home still don’t know how to laugh at her!
No, Zuo Hejing must let Zuo Hejing cancel the Han family's marriage today!
"Sister, since you're here, let's not talk secretly. What's wrong with us Ning'er? You'd rather choose the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to be your daughter-in-law!"
Duke Yan was already unhappy, but he just didn't want to offend Mrs. Zuo, so he let her act like this for a long time.
Now seeing her questioning Mrs. Qiao again, Duke Yan suddenly darkened his face.
However, before Yan Guogang could say anything, Mrs. Qiao had already stuffed Qiao Jiaojiao into his arms.
"Dad, don't worry, let me talk to my sister-in-law clearly about this matter."
Qiao Jiaojiao nodded heavily.
【Yes! Otherwise, something bad will happen when the time comes, and it will be bad if it spreads to the whole city and spreads to my sister-in-law! 】
Mrs. Qiao also had this idea in her mind, so she turned to Mrs. Zuo and said:
"Sister-in-law, I watched Ning'er grow up. She is kind-hearted, gentle and polite, so she is naturally very good."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zuo raised her head and immediately said domineeringly: "In that case, then go and cancel the marriage with the Han family and let the elder marry our Ning'er!"
Qiao Jiaojiao:?
[Why is this aunt so shameless? Can you please listen to what my mother has to say? 】
