Gaoyang County, Liu Zhai.
Liu Xueyi returned to the inner house with a red face. He only glanced at it briefly and said with a bit of contempt: "Leaving?"
Liu Xueyi's wife came over gracefully, and then helped him sit down on the couch.
"I have persuaded her to leave for the time being, but I can see that your cousin is not ready to give up yet. If you ask me, you shouldn't have let her pretend to be a servant to meet people in the first place. Now it's fine. Then Xie Xiucai is handsome. It makes her unable to let go. I think I need to tell my mother-in-law about this matter to avoid causing trouble in the future."
But Liu Xueyi waved his hands nonchalantly: "What trouble can happen? She is a girl, and she usually never leaves the house. Anyway, you must not give her any more hope here. I heard that Zicheng is in Mingming The grades at Shan Academy are very good, and now that his in-law family has a restaurant, there should be no shortage of money in the future. The only thing my cousin can offer is probably nothing in Zicheng's eyes."
The beautiful woman was slightly startled, thinking that it would be a good idea to stop thinking about her cousin.
But the couple didn't know that their cousin Song Tingting could give up so easily.
Song Tingting was born into a merchant family, and now she is nineteen years old, so she is considered an old girl.
A young master from a good family would definitely not be willing to marry her. At most, he would take her as a concubine.
But if she was asked to marry a commoner, a trafficker and a pawn, she would definitely not be happy.
Song Tingting, I guess, is somewhat arrogant. She always thinks that she is good-looking and has studied for two years. Even though she is from a business family, she has a good family background and has no worries about food. How can she look down on ordinary people? ?
Song Tingting was thinking about Xie Xiuwen. At first, it was just because he was a scholar and he was young and talented. Later, when she saw his handsome features, she secretly became fond of him.
How can a girl who is pregnant with spring be able to stop with just a few words of advice?
There are still people around Song Tingting who can be used.
For example, her maid Mei Lan.
"You go to Xie's Village and try to see if you can meet the old lady of Xie's family."
Mei Lan's face changed with fear: "Miss, what are you going to do? Both the young master and his wife said it was impossible. Let's wait for the master and his wife."
Song Tingting snorted: "You're worthless! My cousins just don't want to break the rules. Xie Langjun is talented, and he will definitely have the opportunity to be a high school student in the future. Even if I marry as a concubine, it will be worse than the first wife of an ordinary family. The lady is much more respectable!”
Mei Lan wanted to persuade her again: "Miss, Mr. Xie has not won the imperial examination after all. How about we wait until next autumn?"
Song Tingting said angrily: "What are you worried about! I am already nineteen this year, and will be twenty at the end of the new year. I am really an old girl. Besides, if I wait until he wins the imperial examination and then take the initiative to get involved, wouldn't it look like I am Clinging to wealth? I just want to marry him before he wins. At least I can let him know that I am willing to share the joys and sorrows with him."
Mei Lan was so anxious that she almost cried.
This was a big deal. How could she, a maid, have such courage?
But the young lady has always been very strong-tempered, and she has already said something, but she won't be able to do it if she doesn't.
Seeing that she no longer insisted, Song Tingting explained a few more words and told her that if she couldn't see the old lady, she could find a way to see the eldest lady.
Mei Lan did not dare to disobey her order, so she found an excuse to take leave after two days.
"Who do you think wants to see me?" Grandma Xie was tilting her head in the room. She was still a little confused when she heard what the old woman said.
"Old madam, she is a girl named Mei Lan. She said she came here on behalf of the young lady from the Song family in the county." Mammy lowered her voice and said, "I said I have something important to tell you, and I don't dare to let outsiders know. .”
Mrs. Xie thought about it carefully and realized that she was not related to the Song family in the county.
However, the Song family in Gaoyang County is the only one that can afford to support a maid.
"Go get someone here."
It's just a maid here, so there's no need to be polite.
Mei Lan came in and greeted Grandma Xie first, then took two steps forward to speak.
"Old madam, this servant is here under the order of the young lady. This is a letter from our young lady to you."
Mrs. Xie took the letter and read it in front of her.
"It turns out she is Liu Xueyi's cousin."
As Xie Xiuwen's classmate, Liu Xueyi had been to Xie's house, so the old lady had some impression of this person.
When Mei Lan saw the old lady mentioning Mr. Biao, she immediately said: "That's right. Our young lady and Mr. Biao had made an appointment to meet Mr. Xie before. At that time, my young lady was very attracted to Mr. Xie. But unfortunately, Mr. Xie is far away now. In Fucheng, my young lady was repeatedly urged by her elders to get married, so I had to shamelessly ask you to make the decision."
Grandma Xie squinted her eyes and looked at the little girl.
She knew that Xie Xiuwen and Liu Xueyi had a good relationship.
But this Miss Song family is attracted to the second child?
The old lady felt somewhat unhappy.
"Little girl, are you mistaken? My second oldest child has already married, and now my daughter is five years old."
Mei Lan smiled: "Old madam, that's right. My young lady knows that Xie Langjun is already married, and our young lady considers herself to be of low status, so she is willing to marry her as a concubine. Of course, so do our master and his wife. If you love the young lady, this dowry will naturally be very generous."
Of course Grandma Xie was moved.
She doesn't care if she is not a concubine.
Mainly because I have dowry money!
Moreover, since she is a young lady from a merchant family, the dowry money should be quite a lot.
"I have to think about this matter for a while. Besides, my second son is not at home now. Even if I intend to marry her, I have to at least wait until he comes back."
"What you are saying is that our young lady was also pressed hard by the elders in the family, so she became a little anxious. Look at my memory, I actually forgot the serious matter that the young lady told me."
Mei Lan quickly took out a cloth bag from her arms and offered it with both hands.
"Our lady can't come in person. It's not rude to ask you to make the decision this time. Please don't dislike it."
Even though Grandma Xie is greedy for money, she still knows how to be shameless in front of outsiders.
"Well, I will discuss this with my grandfather."
"Yes, my lady said that when she comes in, she will naturally have something better than this to honor you. Then we will look forward to the good news."
Mei Lan finally felt a lot more relaxed when she saw that the old lady was showing signs of loosening up.
As long as the old lady is willing to accept the things, it means that the young lady's plan is half done.
Grandma Xie asked her to close the door. She carefully opened the gray cloth bag and revealed a gold bracelet inside.
Her eyes lit up, and she weighed it in her hands. The weight was not heavy, and she estimated that the material used was only one tael of gold, which was quite a lot!
Grandma Xie was very happy in her heart. This was the first time she had begged her. If things were done, would she be able to get a whole set of golden titles?
My breathing suddenly became much heavier and I couldn't calm down anymore!
