"Okay, okay, don't cry anymore." The old lady hugged Minglan distressedly and comforted her.

"Grandma, I'm causing trouble for you."

After crying for a while, Minglan felt much better.

"Grandma can be in trouble, but you will be in a lot of trouble next time." The old lady sighed and said, "Although Erlang is trying to save you, the two of you hugging each other in public will not be as good for your reputation." There will be some influence. There will definitely be some rumors outside these days, so don’t think too much about it. Don’t go out these days. Just wait until the rumors pass."

"Grandma, I don't care. If I can't get married, I will always stay with grandma." Minglan said.

"Go, go, go." The old lady said with a look of disgust: "If you stay with me, I will be angry with you and shorten my life for several years, so I'd better get married as soon as possible."

"Grandma~" Minglan stomped her feet coquettishly.

"Okay, you were frightened today, so I asked the kitchen to make you some soothing soup. You can drink it later and go back to sleep." The old lady said.

"Thank you, grandma." Minglan's eyes turned red when she heard this.

"Okay, okay, why are you crying again? I didn't like to cry when I was a child, so why do I cry more and more as I get older?" the old lady joked.

At this moment, a maid came in and saluted: "Old lady, Master Yu and Mrs. Yu are here to visit."

"I must be here to apologize, but today's matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Yu and his wife. They all say that their children are debt collectors, which is true at all. Come on, let's go and greet them." The old lady sighed and said.

Lin Qige

"Mom, what do you want from me? I'm just getting ready to take a nap." Mo Lan asked.

"Mo'er, sit down quickly."

Lin Xiaoniang pulled Mo Lan to sit down and said, "I heard that you had a great chat with Liu Lang of the Liang family today?"

When Mo Lan heard this, he turned around and glared at Yun Zai, who quickly lowered his head.

"I'm talking to you. Why are you glaring at Yun Zai?" Lin Xiaoniang pulled Mo Lan's sleeve.

"Mom, I had such a good time chatting with him. That Liang Liulang is a playboy. When he saw his daughter, he came close to her. Her daughter couldn't leave directly, so she could only chat with him for a few words." Mo Lan said .

"Haha, it's not like our Mo Lan is so beautiful." Lin Xiaoniang said with a smile.

"That's right, after all, I am your mother's daughter." Mo Lan said with a smile.

"Mo'er, since Liang Liulang likes to be around you, it means that he likes you in his heart, so you should treat him to something." Lin Xiaoniang said.

Mo Lan suddenly stood up and said: "Mother, that Liang Liulang is just a playboy. Although he is the legitimate son, he is not the legitimate eldest son, and he has no title. How can he compare with the young master."

"Mo'er, don't be anxious. Sit down and listen to my mother tell you slowly." Lin Xiaoniang pulled Mo Lan to sit down and said, "Yes, the young master is very good. But I have also heard that today he But I went to the polo club with the Lord Jiacheng County."

"Brother Yuan Ruo was forced to do so. He must be unwilling." Mo Lan retorted.

Lin Xiaoniang said patiently: "It doesn't matter whether you like it or not. Marriage matters are all dictated by parents and matchmakers. If he can be forced to attend the polo club with the head of Jiacheng County, he can be forced to marry." County Lord. We can’t compare to the County Lord’s family background, let alone compete with him, so we can only accept his fate.”

"But didn't my mother always teach me that I have to fight for everything and not regret it later?" Mo Lan said.

"Yes, I said that." Lin Xiaoniang said: "But when I talk about fighting, I mean fighting when you have the chance. Now it is clear that there is no chance, so why fight? Instead of worrying about an impossible little father-in-law, It’s better to catch Liang Liulang.”

"But Liang Liulang can't inherit Juewei." Mo Lan said.

"But under Mrs. Wu's management over the years, the Liang family has a wide network of contacts and rich family assets, which is not much worse than some princes. Mrs. Wu only has two sons, one is the eldest son, and the other is Liang Liulang was born, and the rest were concubines. Moreover, Mrs. Wu’s favorite was Liang Liulang. Liang Liulang would definitely be able to serve as an official in the future, and he would have the Earl’s Mansion to rely on. Such a husband, although not as good as Hua Lan, but it must be someone like Lan Minglan who will marry well." Lin Xiaoniang said.

"Mom, I'm afraid that's not possible, right? Now that the second brother is engaged to the Hai family, and there is a count brother-in-law, Rulan may be able to marry into the lord's family and become the eldest wife in the future. And my grandmother loves Minglan the most, pointing out that Maybe he will show off his old face and find a high-ranking family for her. If I marry Liang Liulang, wouldn't I be lower than them all? When we meet in the future, I might be ridiculed." Mo Lan said.

"Haha, I have already inquired. The Wang family will be transferred to Bianjing soon, and Wang Ruofu wants to marry Rulan into the Wang family. As for Minglan, do you still remember the old Mrs. He who came to the house a few days ago? Didn't you bring a grandson here? It seems that he is the husband chosen by the old lady for Minglan." Lin Xiaoniang said.

"No way? With my grandmother's love for Minglan, how could I choose an ordinary family for her?"

Mrs. Wang wants to marry Ru Lan into the Wang family, which she can understand.

After all, the old lady is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis, and has a wide circle of friends. If she really wanted to help Minglan with her old face, it would be no problem to choose an earl.

"You don't understand the old lady."

Lin Xiaoniang mocked: "She thought it was better for women to marry low, and she didn't think about herself. Wasn't she also a low-income person back then? As a result, she couldn't capture the man's heart, and even her son was killed. And do you think she Is it really that easy to choose the He family? Although no one in the He family is an official now, our ancestors have been imperial doctors for several generations and have been benevolent to many powerful families in Bianjing. In addition, they run a medicinal material business, so the family has a strong foundation."

"The daughter-in-law of the He family is seriously ill and has only a few years to live. She has no brothers or sisters. Minglan will be able to take charge of the family as soon as she gets married."

"But I still don't want to marry Liang Liulang." Mo Lan shook his head.

"My silly daughter, I'm not asking you to get married now, I just want you to have the opportunity to have more contact with him." Lin Xiaoniang said.

"Okay." After Lin Xiaoniang's persuasion, Mo Lan became a little relaxed.

……

"Officer, my grandmother sent two land deeds. She said they were an apology from the Yu family." Hua Lan said.

Yuan Wenshao took it and took a look and said with a smile: "The Yu family is willing to give it up. These two Zhuangzi are worth seven or eight thousand taels."

"Officer, what should I do with this land deed?" Hualan asked.

"Send it back." Yuan Wenshao thought for a moment and said, "The one who was frightened is the sixth sister. It's not good for us to take it."

"But since grandma asked someone to send it over, I'm afraid she won't want it," Hua Lan said.

Yuan Wenshao smiled and said: "Then you just say it is a dowry for Minglan. Anyway, we don't want this thing."

"Okay, I'll make a trip tomorrow and send him back." Hua Lan nodded.

……

In the evening, Qi Heng sent County Lord Jiacheng to the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion. He refused County Lord Jiacheng's request to stay and said goodbye and returned home.

As soon as he entered the door, the servant said that Princess Pingning was waiting for him in the front hall.

Qi Heng came to the front hall and bowed: "I have met my mother."

"boom!"

Princess Pingning stood up, glared at Qi Heng, and said, "Do you still think of me as a mother? I asked you to accompany County Lord Jiacheng to play. It would be better for you to leave the County Lord aside and run to be with the Sheng family. The little concubine started chatting."

When Qi Heng and Princess Jiacheng went to a polo match, Princess Pingning naturally sent someone to keep an eye on them, for fear that something would happen to Qi Heng.

The result was just as she expected, but she didn't expect Qi Heng to see that the little concubine of the Sheng family had left the county master aside.Hearing this, Qi Heng said calmly: "Mother, our family is already the palace of the Duke of the country. Even if we climb the ranks of dragons and phoenixes, our title will not be promoted. Why should mother force her children?"

"presumptuous!"

Princess Pingning was furious when she heard this, her face was ashen and she said, "Are you scolding me for clinging to a dragon and clinging to a phoenix?"

"I don't dare. It's just that our family is already the Duke's Palace. Even if we marry with Prince Yong's Palace, the benefits will be limited. On the contrary, it may arouse the suspicion of the officials. I feel that the gain is not worth the loss." Qi Heng said.

"Of course I know what you are saying, but Princess Jiacheng has taken a liking to you, and Prince Yong and his wife love her very much. If she refuses, wouldn't she offend Prince Yong? Have you thought about the consequences?" Princess Pingning shouted.

"Mother, you decided to marry me directly. Could it be that King Yong dared to risk the world's disapproval and force our family to regret the marriage for the sake of his daughter?" Qi Heng said.

"Are you going to get married?" Princess Pingning sneered, "That little concubine from the Sheng family? I tell you, unless I die, that little concubine from the Sheng family will never get into my Qi family."

"What's wrong?" Qi Guogong came in with a black gauze hat in his hand and said, "I heard you mother and son arguing again from a distance."

"Ask your good son, he is still thinking about that little concubine of the Sheng family." Princess Pingning said coldly.

Duke Guo of Qi looked at his wife, then at his son, and said to Qi Heng, "Son, you go back and rest first. I'll talk to your mother."

Qi Heng nodded, bowed, and walked out.

"You said you couldn't talk about something, so why are you so angry?" Qi Guogong said.

Princess Pingning looked ugly and said: "Let him accompany County Lord Jiacheng to the polo match. It would be better for him to leave County Lord Jiacheng and run to chat with the little concubine of the Sheng family. He also wants to play horses with others. Just watch the ball, Bianjing still doesn’t know how it will be passed these days."

"Just say no to your son. He has been obedient since he was a child. If you explain the reason to him, he will naturally understand." Qi Guogong said.

"Tell me well?" Princess Pingning snorted coldly: "He dares to contradict me now. I think he was stunned by the little concubine of the Sheng family."

"Okay, I'll go talk to him later." Qi Guogong said.

"It's useless to just say it. He won't listen. I have to find a way to make him give up." Princess Pingning said.

……

Qi Heng took Buwei back to the room, sat there in a daze for a long time, and then said, "Buwei, I want to see Minglan, please find a way for me."

"Master, the princess is so angry today, you better not make the princess angry." Buwei advised.

Qi Heng looked at Buwei and said, "Are you not even willing to help me?"

Buwei smiled bitterly and said: "Young master, it's not that I don't want to help you. You know clearly that the princess will not agree to the status of Miss Sheng Liu, but you still keep approaching Miss Liu. Fortunately, Miss Liu is a polite person. , I have been hiding from the young master so that the princess did not know about it. Now that the princess knows, if you go to find Miss Sheng Liu again, you will only harm her. "

There are many maids in the house, often dressed up and dazzling in front of Qi Heng, just thinking that they can be favored by Qi Heng and become concubines.

However, those women will disappear soon.

Although no one dares to discuss these things, it is no secret in the house.

It's just that Qi Heng didn't know.

Unexpectedly, if Qi Heng still misses Miss Sheng Liu, he might do something to calm Princess Ning's temper.

"She is avoiding me because she misunderstands me. I just want to make it clear to her." Qi Heng pleaded: "If it's not for you, please help me."

The servants in the house all obeyed his mother. If they weren't willing to help him, he really wouldn't be able to find anyone he trusted to help him.

Seeing the prayer in Qi Heng's eyes, Buwei gritted his teeth and said: "Young master, not now. Miss Six was frightened today and will definitely not go out in the next few days. Moreover, the master and the princess had a fight today. The princess and the queen had a fight." I will definitely keep an eye on the situation in the yard here. After a few days, I will help you think of a solution."

He grew up with Qi Heng. Qi Heng was very kind to him and he couldn't bear to refuse.

"Thank you for not doing it." Qi Heng said excitedly when he agreed.

……

Early the next morning, Gu Tingye came to Yu's house with the matchmaker and the generous gifts he had prepared.

The servant received the invitation and handed it over. It was in Mrs. Yu's hands after a while.

Mrs. Yu was very surprised that Gu Tingye came to visit and said, "Then the second son of the Gu family said he came to visit me, not to find the second son?"

"Back to Madam, that's what the second young master of the Gu family said." The servant said.

"You go and ask the young master to go to the front hall to welcome him. I will be there in a moment." Mrs. Yu ordered.

"Yes." The servant responded and withdrew.

When Yu Erlang learned that Gu Tingye was coming, he trotted to the door of the house.

"Brother Gu, come as soon as you come. There is no need to be so formal and ask someone to hand you a greeting card." Yu Erlang said with a smile.

"I have business with you today, so naturally I have to be more formal." Gu Tingye said with a smile.

"What's the matter?"

Yu Erlang looked at the servant carrying the gift behind Gu Tingye and asked doubtfully: "Brother Gu, what are you doing?"

"I'm here to propose marriage today. You have to talk to me for a while. Maybe we will become relatives in the future." Gu Tingye said with a smile.

"Propose... propose marriage?" Yu Erlang was a little confused and asked: "Second brother Gu, who are you proposing marriage to?"

"I'm twenty-three this year and haven't gotten married yet, so naturally it's for me." Gu Tingye said.

"To yourself?"

Yu Erlang had a strange look on his face. This was the first time he had heard of someone proposing marriage for him. Even if his parents died early, he would still go to relatives and elders to propose marriage.

"Second Young Master, Madam is still waiting in the front hall." The servant reminded.

"Oh, Brother Gu, please come in." Yu Erlang said sideways.

After walking around the screen wall, Yu Erlang finally recovered from his surprise and said, "Brother Gu, are you here to propose marriage to my sister?"

"No, I want to marry the eldest girl of the Yu family." Gu Tingye said.

He has seen Miss Yu San's temperament, how dare he marry her.
