stormy clouds

Mrs. Pei did not expect her to say this, and was speechless for a while.

"Enough," said Mrs. Mu, "Let's talk about this matter when Jing Yi comes back."

She stood up and ended the topic, "It's getting late, when the girls come back, don't mention this matter again."

The food in the Changping Hou Mansion is very particular. Fruit plates, cold cuts, appetizers, soups, and desserts are served all the same, and it takes two hours to eat one meal.

After dinner, Mrs. Pei took Chang Luoyun and Chang Luoyao to leave first.

Mrs. Mu called Mrs. Uncle Chengping to talk with her.

Madam Mu leaned on the couch, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Mrs. Cheng Anbo sat on the rose-carved chair, supported her head with her hands, and looked at Mrs. Mu, "Sister, I really don't understand, the two girls from the Chang family are not suitable, you just go back.

There's no need to wait for Jing Yi to come back. Could it be that Jing Yi knows this situation and will marry one of them back? "

Mrs. Mu shook her hand, and the girl standing beside her immediately came up to hold her head.

"Where's Lian'er? Are you still outside?" Mrs. Mu asked lazily.

"Yunying said that she drew a new flower shape and asked Lian'er to take a look." Mrs. Cheng Anbo said.

Mrs. Mu sighed, "Jing Yi's marriage has always been a concern of mine. It stands to reason that Lord Hou has settled for a girl from the Chang family, so he will marry when he is old enough."

Madam Mu shook her head, "But this is the clan's wife, so we can't be hasty after all.

Today I look at the fourth girl very well. Back then, her mother was also a rare and strange woman. How could I know that such a thing happened to her. "

"Sister, in my opinion, you are too polite, since the girl from the Chang family is not suitable, why don't you give some money to the Chang family, it can be regarded as repaying the favor of saving brother-in-law.

Otherwise, directly accepting a girl as a concubine, and using a daughter of a sixth-rank official to be a concubine in the Marquis of Changping is not an insult to them. "

"It's not that you don't know the rules of the Hou Mansion. Men from the Mu family are not allowed to take concubines because of their heirs." Madam Mu raised her eyelids very annoyed.

Mrs. Cheng Anbo said, "I forgot about this, why don't we give them some money and ruin this marriage?"

Madam Mu shook her head, and said slowly, "I know that Lian'er and Jing Yi grew up together, and their relationship has been good since they were young. Lian'er's marriage has not been settled over the years, if my guess is right, it is probably because of Jing Yi. "

Mrs. Cheng Anbo sneered, "Lian'er, a silly girl, only has Jing Yi in her heart. You said, if it wasn't because of the Chang family, these two children should have been together long ago."

Mrs. Mu pointed to her temple, and the girl moved her hand to her temple and pressed it.

Madam Mu felt that her headache was better, she said leisurely, "It's just that they don't have this fate.

But now Jing Yi can't wait any longer, if he comes back and thinks that the girl from the Chang family is not suitable, I will ask him to hire Lian Er. "

Mrs. Cheng Anbo beamed with joy, "Sister, Lian Er is the only girl I have, and you are always treated like my own daughter. If I can really let her marry Jing Yi, I don't know how to thank you in my heart."

"We are sisters in our own family, why bother to say these things. It's just that you also know that Jing Yi has a stubborn temper and always values ​​faith. Maybe he doesn't want to regret the marriage."

"If that's the case, my sister asked Jing Yi if he could let Lian'er be his second wife." Madam Cheng Anbo also gave up.

Cheng Anbo and his wife have only one daughter, Yuxue, who was cute and smart since she was young, and when she grows up, she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Cheng Anbo and his wife love each other like eyeballs.

It's just that Lianzhen didn't want to marry anyone when she reached the age to talk about marriage. Later, she couldn't evade it, so she said that she would not marry Fei Jingyi.

Cheng Anbo and his wife had a headache for a while, Mu Jingyi was already engaged, how could he marry Lianzhen?
But Lianzhen just accepted the truth of death, and then Cheng Anbo took a step back, acquiescing that Lianzhen could be Mu Jingyi's wife.

Mrs. Cheng Anbo thinks it is not impossible.Leaving aside Lian'er's good looks and her proficiency in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just talking about the relationship between her and Jing Yi who grew up together, from now on the girl from the Chang family will be nothing but a display in the Hou's mansion.

Mrs. Cheng Anbo said happily, "If you enter the Hou's mansion to be Jing Yi's second wife, it will not affect Jing Yi's promise, but also fulfill the true love between Jing Yi and Lian Er. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

Madam Mu sat up, waved her hand and said, "Go down."

The girl who pressed her head lowered her head and went down.

"Don't say that again," Madam Mu said to Madam Cheng'an, "The man in the waiting mansion can't even marry a concubine, let alone two wives. Do you know how many honorable families were destroyed in the inner room?" fight?"

"First of all, I disagree with this matter." Mrs. Mu took a sip of tea, "I know Lian Er's intentions. I think the girl from the Chang family may not be a good match. After I ask Jing Yi, I will go to Cheng'an Bo Employed by the government."

"Sister," Mrs. Cheng Anbo opened her mouth, looked at Mrs. Mu and said excitedly, "If this is true, it would be the best."

Several osmanthus trees were planted in the yard where Mrs. Mu lived.Under the biggest sweet-scented osmanthus tree, Yunying was showing some pictures of flowers to Lian Zhen.

"This is the Ruyi pattern I drew a few days ago, how does Miss Lian Er look?"

Lian Zhen held the flower and looked carefully, "Although I am not good at female red, embroidery and painting are similar in purpose. This wishful pattern is good, but it is too neat and a little less elegant."

She took a few more to look at, then stacked them and handed them to Yunying, "I saw that the cloud pattern embroidered on the side of the dress my cousin is wearing today is very good. Texture."

"The cloud pattern is from Miss Chang Si, how can I compare to it." Yunying folded the pattern neatly and put it in the box, and said with a smile.

"The hand of the fourth girl of the Chang family? Does my cousin know her?" Lian Zhen asked.

"I'm not very clear about it, but Liang Qi once sent Lord Hou's clothes over and asked me to take them to the laundry room, and told me to be more careful.

Later, I saw that Master Hou would add another piece of clothing embroidered with cloud patterns every year, and these cloud patterns were all made by one person, so I paid attention.

Miss Chang Si has a word cloud in her name, what do you think the cloud pattern on his clothes means? "

Lian really changed her face, "I think Miss Chang Si seems to be an upright person, and she also said that she has no intention of being Mrs. Hou."

"Young Master Hou is talented and good-looking. Young Mu Shaoai and young Ai Mu are also common. This was originally the most secret concern of the girl's family. How can Fourth Miss Chang tell the truth."

Yunying looked at her and said with a smile, "Ma'am said that when Lord Hou comes back this time, the marriage will be settled. I'm afraid that by the end of the year, Miss Chang Si will come in."

Lian really thought about the way Mu Jingyi and Chang Luoyun were standing together, half believed Yunying's words, she said angrily, "She is really hypocritical, I trust her in vain."

Yunying smiled and said, "Miss Lian'er is so beautiful, so she naturally doesn't need those twists and turns. But today Miss Chang Wu said that Miss Si was kidnapped in Qingzhou, but I don't know what will happen if Master Hou finds out about it?"

"You mean cousin doesn't know about this yet?" Lian Zhen asked.

Yunying seemed to have come back to herself suddenly, covered her mouth and said timidly: "Miss Lian'er, I have always trusted you, you just have to hear it, but you must never tell Lord Hou."

"Don't worry," Lian Zhen said, "Miss Wu has already told my aunt about this matter, and my aunt will definitely tell my cousin."
