Chapter 394: Evil Slave
Just thinking that her daughter was about to marry into a family that was about to fall, Yang was not willing to accept it. It would be fine if she lived alone, but her daughter shouldn't end like this.
But as Mr. Zhou said, what can I do if I am unwilling to give up? If I really quit my daughter, unless I marry her from a distance, then my reputation will be spread. What good will the children of other families be willing to marry their family? Even if they can marry far away, foreigners are not fools. If they don’t marry a local girl who is well-known, they have to travel thousands of miles to marry a girl they don’t know very well?
It’s hard to do anything, why is her daughter’s life so hard?
...
Su Yiqing didn't know the marriage storm of the Meng girl, and Madam Qing would not tell him such a thing. This was not a happy thing, and the princess was not a gloating person.
She was thinking about another thing. Mrs. Quan Si said that there were many bandits on the border, but after saying hello to the officers and soldiers on the border, it seemed that it was safe.
Mrs. Quan Si didn't think much about it, thinking that there were one or two officers and soldiers wearing military uniforms escorting along the way, but she knew that how could the truly fierce bandits care about these or two officers and soldiers? Anyway, they had been full of crimes and were caught and died. Killing officers and soldiers is no different from killing good people.
It can also be said that killing officers and soldiers has caused more anger from the government and they have made great efforts to encircle and suppress them. However, for these on the border, it is no longer annoying to have too much debt, and they don’t care about killing one or two officers and soldiers.
Since they don’t care about killing officers and soldiers, there is only one reason why Mrs. Quan is spared. Some officers and soldiers collude with bandits, and even the army is bandits, and bandits are soldiers.
This possibility made Su Yiqing feel cold in her heart for some reason, as if something was wrong.
What is it? She couldn't figure it out for a moment. Even in the modern era where she lives, there are many police and gangsters who collude. Any underworld that can run rampant must have official people behind it. This kind of thing is inevitable no matter that dynasty. How many problems are there.
Since it is ordinary, where does this bad feeling come from?
Su Yiqing was really confused, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
At this moment, the maid came to report that Li from the Prince of Guo County was visiting.
Since Miss Lewen from the Prince of Guo County was given a marriage to Meng Guang, Li has not come to the house for a long time, and I don’t know what is happening now?
Su Yiqing thought about it and asked the maid to invite Li to come.
Li was wearing a rose-colored dark silk dress and two gold hairpins on her head, serving her a little simpler. Her face looked a little haggard, and she looked much thinner than before the Chinese New Year. It seemed that the failure of getting married to the Meng family had caused a lot of damage.
After coming in, Li seemed a little restrained.
Su Yiqing still ordered the maid to serve tea and snacks, but she was erect and had a big belly. She was in a bad mood and had no words to make a word, so she let Li play it. She could see that Li would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Since that was the case, she still had to ask the owner to make a word. It would be too much to adjust the atmosphere.
Li said a few words and finally couldn't help but explain his purpose.
She wanted to ask for a kiss, and wanted to ask for a girl from the Meng family for her nephew. She didn't say who she wanted to marry. I think that would be fine.
Su Yiqing was a little impatient. She was just a married daughter of the Meng family. Why did she ask her about the marriages of the younger generation of the Meng family? Really, the two parties discussed this obvious combination of interests. Why did they ask her?
After being upset, Su Yiqing was not so polite about what she said, "I have never seen those girls in the Meng family so far, and I don't know anything about them. I really can't say whether this marriage is suitable or not. This is a matter that concerns two young people for the rest of their lives. I think it's better to follow the steps, discuss with their relatives, ask the matchmaker to find out, and then combine the eight characters to see if there is such a fate."
"Yes, but my nephew has lost his parents since he was a child, and his family is a little poor. I'm afraid he will be a little arrogant. "Li Shi looked at Su Yiqing and was a little impatient, and hurriedly said, "But my nephew is very good at studying. He has become a scholar and looks very talented and has a gentle temperament."
Su Yiqing said lightly: "What my aunt said should be told to her mother. After all, her mother is the hostess of the Meng family. The mother should be the decision of the marriage between these juniors. Did the aunt ask her if she had any mother?"
"This... Mrs. Meng has not been at home these two days and said she has gone to the temple to eat vegetarian food and pray for blessings." Li lowered her head, her eyes flashing a little.
"Since that's the case, why didn't my aunt wait for her mother to come back to discuss it?" Su Yiqing showed a look of surprise. "Can it be that this marriage is so anxious that she can't wait for several days?"
"No, no, no." Li waved his hand quickly, and his forehead was so anxious that he was sweating. How could she say that she was afraid that Mrs. Meng would not agree, so she went over Mrs. Meng to ask Princess Ding first. As long as Princess Ding agrees, Mrs. Meng would definitely have no reason to object.
"When the princess said, our wife wanted to cause a beautiful incident, so she was a little presumptuous." A maid with a pretty face in pink dress behind Li said hurriedly.
Su Yiqing stopped talking, just picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Madam Qing immediately lowered her face and said, "Dare you ask me who is Mrs. Li's person? Why didn't you introduce me? I've been standing there?"
Madam Qing was sarcasm. When the master spoke, the maid interrupted, let alone the Ding Prince's Mansion. A little maid actually dared to talk to the princess directly, so how could she have such a big face?
"I, I am Yanzhi, not a lady." Yanzhi bit her lip aggrievedly. She only broke the siege when she saw that her wife couldn't speak.
"Yuzhi, there is no place for you to speak here, so why don't you leave?" Li scolded hurriedly.
Only then did Yanzhi retreat with red eyes.
Su Yiqing smiled faintly: "It's just a little maid, but my aunt, please forgive me for saying more words. The little maid is young, so I'd better teach more rules and take it out, otherwise it will harm her."
"Yes, yes." Li's face turned red with a little shame. This Yanzhi had just arrived in front of her recently. Although she was young, she was very agile. She gave her a few ideas, which were very appropriate. She gradually became her right-hand man. However, the rules were indeed a little bad. Thinking about the time she talked to her husband before, this Yanzhi often interrupted. Because she said it appropriately, she didn't think there was any problem. Today, she realized that this maid was a little unaware of the rules.
Su Yiqing gently picked up the teacup, showing a look of seeing off the guests.
Li stayed without any face and had to say goodbye.
Madam Qing later said to Su Yiqing: "Princess, this Mrs. Li looked good before, why are you like this now? She also took a maid with such an unruly rule and looked at the maid again. Her eyes kept turning around, and she looked at her at first sight. She looked like she was not a peaceful person."
Su Yiqing smiled: "Li's ears are a little soft and he can't make any decisions. Before, there was Old Concubine Xue here. She listened to Old Concubine Xue in everything. Now she heard that she was a little distant from Old Concubine Xue because of the Meng family's marriage. No one will give her any advice, so she naturally panicked. At this time, a well-behaved maid appeared, which easily coaxed her."
Madam Qing thought about it and couldn't help but say, "Is it the maid who came up with the idea of marrying Miss Meng? She is too brave. Has Mrs. Li become so confused recently?"
"That's not necessarily." Su Yiqing took a sip of tea, "It's very difficult for a little maid to find out about the Meng family. Perhaps Li didn't know who encouraged him, and the little maid made a few words of encouragement at the right time. She passed her mother and rashly went to the royal palace to find out. Even an elder who had a little knowledge of this kind could not do such things."
"The princess said very well, then this marriage... should I tell my wife about it?" Madam Qing asked hesitantly.
"No. Let them go. Mother should think it's good. If you agree, it's okay. If you think it's bad, it doesn't matter if you push it." Su Yiqing was too lazy to bother with these little things. She had enough care about the little things about a girl she didn't know before. She had to worry about it once, and if she was too full, she was full.
On this side, Li got on the carriage, and Yanzhi was still a little nervous and kept saying, "Damn it, madam, I really didn't do it on purpose, I was just anxious for a moment... The princess shouldn't be angry with me, right? If this is true, I really deserve to die."
"It shouldn't be." Li was a little angry at Yanzhi, but seeing Yanzhi's annoyance, he couldn't bear to blame him anymore. Instead, he comforted him, "Princess Ding is not a stingy person and will not be able to see you."
"Then, I see, the princess doesn't agree with this marriage." Yanzhi wisely turned the topic around when she saw that Li did not blame her.
"Maybe." Li sighed secretly. Now that the princess of the county is annoyed, the old concubine Xue ignores her, and life is getting harder and harder. She only thought that she could have a turning point with the Meng family. Now she thinks that she will not be able to get married.
"Or what, I can see, can you marry someone who is valued by the prince?" Yanzhi turned her eyes a few times and suggested: "The prince must have many officials, colleagues, some young, and some children are just in the past. It's okay to be able to say something for us."
"Is this... possible?" Li hesitated a little.
When Yanzhi saw Li's heartbroken, she immediately started to encourage her harder.
Another maid next to her was sitting quietly without saying a word.
A few days later, the old concubine Xue ordered someone to look for Li.
When Li saw the summoning of the old concubine Xue, he did not dare to delay. He changed his clothes and went there. He brought two maids by his side, one of whom was Yanzhi.
The old concubine Xue looked kind and asked Li how she was doing when she came in. She ordered the maid to bring fresh fruits for her to taste.
Li was flattered.
After talking for a while, Concubine Xue asked casually: "I heard that your parents want a girl to marry the son of Xiong Guandai in the patrol camp?"
Li said: "Yes, this patrol battalion is also a sixth-rank official. The son of Xiong Guandai heard that his character is very good, and he is also a match with my mother's Baoer."
The old concubine Xue asked again: "But I heard that this son of Xiong Guankai had married a wife before? He was a housekeeper, so wouldn't he begging the girl in the family?"
Li sighed: "Although it is to fill the house, Mr. Xiong's wife did not give birth to a man or a woman. She died of illness just over a year after getting married. Mr. Xiong is also young, but her status is slightly worse, and she is still very compatible."
"It seems that you agree very much?" Old Concubine Xue said lightly, "I heard that this marriage was still what you proposed to your in-laws?"
"Yes." Li's face turned slightly red
She said that it was not so decent to fill a house for someone, so she felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't dare to tell lies in front of Concubine Xue.
"When the old concubine said, it was the matchmaker that Mrs. Xiong asked our wife to be." Yanzhi, who was standing beside her, had an old problem again, and she couldn't help but interrupt again.
"Yuzhi..." Li was shocked and glared at Yanzhi again. This old concubine Xue always values the most rules, and she will blame her this time.
Yanzhi looked like she did something wrong and lowered her head slightly.
The old concubine Xue did not seem to have noticed Yanzhi's transcendence, but instead asked: "But after all, she is a house filling company, or will her niece have any grudges in her heart?"
"This... probably won't." Li was a little guilty. She had never asked Baoer what she meant. But from the perspective of her elders, this marriage was so compatible. To be honest, the Xiong family is much better than her parents' home now. If Mr. Xiong didn't marry Xu Xian, it wouldn't be her parents' home's turn.
"I think this marriage is not very appropriate. An elder told his niece to fill in a house for someone, and it wouldn't be nice to spread it." Old Concubine Xue shook her head repeatedly.
"What should I do? Mrs. Xiong is not easy to shirk." Li was anxious.
Old Concubine Xue pondered for a moment, and saw Yanzhi standing beside her, her eyes lit up: "Since that's the case, I'll recognize the maid around me as my adopted daughter and marry Mr. Xiong. In this way, your family can marry the Xiong family directly. Don't underestimate a patrol battalion, there are many people I know."
"Is this possible? Can Mrs. Xiong be happy to marry a maid?" Li was also quite moved when she heard this, but she felt that it would be too insincere to marry a maid.
"No problem, let this maid be officially included in the family tree, just like a serious lady. If you get a dowry, then the Xiong family will have nothing to say." Old Concubine Xue guaranteed, "Speaking of this, I have had a few dealings with Mrs. Xiong's family. Her mother still owes me a favor, and I don't think I will refuse."
"Really?" Li was overjoyed.
"Can I still lie to you?" Old Concubine Xue frowned again, "But this maid must be very outstanding, have a good appearance, and be more skillful. If you can marry Mr. Xiong and Qinse and Ming to respect your parents-in-law, you will definitely not lose to the serious lady."
"This is natural, who should I let you go?" Li hesitated.
The old concubine Xue glanced at the maid beside Li and said, "The one around you is good. You are called Yanzhi, and your name is also good. Since you have caught up, it is also fate. Just you, the one who can follow your wife must be very outstanding."
