The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Pushing away the Earl's Mansion, this Murong Lizhu's marriage was suspended again.The old lady felt sorry for her niece and granddaughter who had suffered a lot since she was a child, and she wanted to find the most suitable husband for her, but she was also worried that she was in a hurry. On this day, the old lady ordered the small kitchen to add some Jiangnan dishes, and ordered Murong to be invited. Lizhu came over to have dinner together.

The old lady was leaning on the couch waiting for her niece and granddaughter to come and have dinner together. When Li Ling came, the old lady got up and said with a smile, "Why did you come here alone? Where's Shu'er?"

Li Ling replied: "I stopped by just after I got off duty, and I haven't gone back yet."

The old lady smiled and said: "I am inviting Lizhu to come over for dinner today. Since you have caught up, I will order someone to invite Shu'er over in a while. Let's use all of them at my place today. In front of my small kitchen There is a new one here who can cook southern dishes, and I think it's pretty good."

Li Ling declined politely: "Let's forget about today, I came here to tell you something."

The old lady asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Ling replied, "It's about Lizhu's cousin's marriage."

When the old lady heard this, she was pleasantly surprised and surprised, she smiled and said to her grandson, "Why do you care about your cousin Lizhu's marriage? But do you have any suitable candidates around you?"

Li Ling replied directly: "There is indeed a suitable candidate for my grandson, and my grandmother also recognizes this person."

When the old lady heard this, she became even more interested, and hurriedly said: "Which mansion is it?"

The old lady nodded silently: "To tell you the truth, I have set my sights on this child for a long time."

Mother Qiu tentatively asked, "Could it be that you think the Jiang family's status is poor?"

The old lady waved her hand and said: "I don't care about this, as long as the family is a clean official and can treat Li Zhu well, it doesn't matter if the family is poor."

Mother Qiu replied: "Of course you can't go wrong if you can make the son look up to you, and this kid has lived in our house for a while, although the servants have never dealt with him, but they seem to be polite. "

"I was a bit jealous about the child's fiancée. Besides, Ah Chen was just transferred to Beijing, and his parents are both in Chaozhou. According to the rules, the bride is not allowed to take a job with her husband. They all learn the rules at home to serve their parents-in-law. Isn't this wronging Lizhu?"

Lifting the clothes, Murong Lizhu said: "When I came in just now, I happened to meet my second cousin going out from here, she met me at the door, and looked at me for quite a while."

Murong Lizhu has already reached the age of marriage, the old lady told her truthfully: "A man with the temperament of your second cousin, how could he notice that the clothes are not in place? He just came here and mentioned your marriage to me. So when I saw you, I took a second look."

Seeing that Jiang Youchen was mentioned by her grandson, the old lady pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "When this child lived in the house, he came to greet me every now and then. Naturally, there is no choice in terms of character and temperament. Take a fancy to this young man."

As she spoke, Murong Lizhu opened the curtain and entered the room. She was wearing an ermine shawl and a Xiangfei-colored skirt underneath. , the sideburns are only adorned with hairpins made of ruby ​​​​beads.

The old lady hurriedly got up and greeted her: "The winter in Shangjing is not as good as our house, hurry up and sit on the warm couch."

Although the old lady fell in love with Jiang Youchen, she did find out that his fiancée had passed away before entering the family, so she felt a little taboo in her heart. Her niece and granddaughter were also rumored to restrain their parents and children in Jiangdong. Wife, such a marriage, no matter how hard it is to make people happy.

Li Ling naturally knew about Jiang Youchen's marriage with Zhou Yuan's foreign lady, and he didn't hide it, he told the old lady everything.

Li Ling is cold and serious, and he doesn't like to talk to the female family members in the mansion. This suddenly happened today, which made Murong Lizhu a little puzzled. She looked at the old lady and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that there is something wrong with me wearing this dress?"

After hearing this, the old lady felt a lot of emotion. It is common for the children of this powerful family to be forced to marry in order to maintain the family status. It's just that Jiang Youchen was able to please his fiancée for such a marriage that was originally an exchange of benefits. Asking for medical advice, and going to see each other to fulfill her wish regardless of etiquette, this kind of responsibility made the old lady quite moved.

Li Ling replied: "It's the cousin of Shu'er's uncle's family who lived in our mansion a while ago, named Youchen."

Seeing that his grandmother seemed to be moved, Li Ling was not in a hurry to ask the old man to express his opinion. He just said: "It is a matter of cousin's life, and grandmother will think about it again, but grandson can guarantee Ah Chen's character and ability."

The old lady looked at her grandniece with a pleasant smile, and couldn't help but tilt her head to praise Qiu Momo: "Look at how handsome this child is, and he looks even more dignified in our winter clothes."

After Li Ling left, the old lady looked at Mother Qiu and asked, "What do you think of this child, Chen?"

As soon as Li Ling heard this, he knew that his grandmother had already taken a fancy to Jiang Youchen, and she must have ordered someone to inquire in private, otherwise how would she have known about Jiang Youchen's ridiculous marriage in Chaozhou.

Now hearing Li Ling's truthful words, the old lady's heart became alive. Such a man who values ​​love, righteousness and responsibility is truly worthy of entrustment.

Mother Qiu repeatedly said: "This is really the reason, the rules in our capital are like this, servants and servants have heard that this is even more important outside."

It is dignified and elegant, with beautiful appearance and original appearance, which makes people love it when they see it.

Although Murong Lizhu was loved by the old lady in the mansion, she was never arrogant. She greeted the old lady in a proper manner, then walked slowly to the old lady, sat down on the edge, smiled He replied: "It's cold in Beijing this winter, but the ermine shawl my aunt gave me is the warmest, even if I walk outside, I don't feel cold."

The old lady smacked her lips, glanced at Mother Qiu and said, "That child Ah Chen is really good, oh! Tell me, there is nothing perfect in this world."

As she said that, the old lady hesitated and said, "It's just that I vaguely heard that he had engaged a relative when he was in Chaozhou."

The two masters and servants were talking about Murong Lizhu here, when the woman at the door came in and said: "Old Madam, Miss Biao Lizhu is here."

As she said that, the old lady smiled at Mother Qiu, "Li Zhu has been in the mansion for so long, I'm afraid he hasn't looked at it carefully, and the sun came out from the west today, so he came here to talk about the matchmaking."

In the past, people who were mentioned by others for Murong Lizhu, if the old lady liked them, would also mention them with Murong Lizhu, but Murong Lizhu was always shy and didn't show any attitude, just said that it was up to the old lady to decide.

Today, when the old lady mentioned that Li Ling was going to be a matchmaker, she seemed to have a feeling and asked, "I wonder who the second cousin mentioned?"

The old lady was a little surprised when her niece opened her mouth about this matter, but after thinking about it, it was normal for the child to care about her own marriage at this age, so she told her: "Your second cousin is here for you. It's your second cousin's natal cousin."

Upon hearing this, Murong Lizhu's eyes couldn't help but brighten up, and she blurted out, "But the one who temporarily stayed at the residence a while ago, whose name was Jiang Youchen?"
