After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 558 Discussion about the wishful man

Haitang watched the change of expression on Wu Qiong's face, which showed both resentment and determination, and she couldn't help but feel emotional.

In fact, Wu Qiong still had some complaints in his heart about Mrs. Zhenguo's handing over the "letter from returning brothers" to Mrs. Gui, right?

However, the little girl has a fairly upright outlook on things. She has probably had a lot of interactions with Madame Zhenguo, Ma Shangyi and others recently. Therefore, she does not bear her resentment on the Zhou family and Ma Shangyi, but directs all her anger towards them. The brothers returned home, thinking that they had evil intentions and were ruthless and unjust, which led to the current consequences.

Not to mention whether the "letter" from the Gui brothers really existed, they must have betrayed the Seventh Prince. It was also a fact that they had no brotherhood for Mrs. Gui. Wu Qiong's resentment towards them was not considered unjust. In this case, let her continue to think like this. As long as she can clearly understand Mrs. Gui's thoughts and correct her position that she is a descendant of the Wu family and not just a "grandson of Gui", the possibility of being deceived by her mother into going astray in the future is unlikely.

The Duke of Zhen and his wife spent so much effort to rectify Mrs. Gui and separate her from her daughter and nephew. They also hoped that Wu Ke and Wu Qiong would no longer be under her control, right? I thought that the Duke of Zhenguo would arrange Wu Qiong's future, so no one else would have to worry about it.

Haitang spoke softly to comfort Wu Qiong to calm her down.

At this time, the two of them had already entered the room. Zhou Xuejun was bringing new tea and snacks. Zhou Huajun, impatient with waiting, came over and pulled the two of them into the inner room to sit down: "What are you talking about in the back? You've been waiting for so long. Don’t come in.”

Wu Qiong's face was still stained with tears, and her expression was still a little uncomfortable. She raised her sleeves to cover it up, then lowered her head and went inside: "I didn't say anything, just chatting..."

She sat at the table, right opposite Zhou Xuejun. Zhou Xuejun raised his eyes and noticed something strange on her face. He couldn't help but be startled. He soon understood and showed a bit of uneasiness.

The sisters really shouldn't have gossiped about Mrs. Gui just now, which must have made Wu Qiong feel sad.

Zhou Huajun was still complaining: "What can we talk about for half a day? Can't you tell us?"

Zhou Xuejun winked at her, but she was still in a daze: "Xuejun, what's wrong with your eyes? But sand was blown in by the wind just now?"

Zhou Xuejun closed her eyes, let out a long sigh, lowered her head to pour tea for Wu Qiong, and put Wu Qiong's favorite snack in front of her.

Wu Qiong had already tidied himself up in this short period of time, and when he saw this, he raised his head and smiled at Zhou Xuejun. Although she has not completely returned to normal, she can smile sincerely and her mood has obviously calmed down a lot.

Haitang calmly sat down on the chair opposite: "We were just talking about the future. Miss Wu was a little worried. She said that she and her cousin were the only two people left in the Wu family, and they would be responsible for revitalizing the Wu family in the future. She is a brother and sister, but she doesn’t know what she should do. She can’t always listen to the arrangements of her elders and have no idea of ​​her own, right? "

Haitang winked at Wu Qiong as she spoke. Wu Qiong was stunned for a moment and then realized that Haitang was changing the topic for her and smoothing things over for her!
She was very grateful. After giving Haitang a grateful look, she continued: "I am no longer a child. I can no longer rely on my elders for everything. I always have to have some ideas in my heart. Although my cousin said, this matter Just leave it all to him, I don't have to worry about it. But my surname is Wu, how can I put all the blame on my cousin and enjoy my leisure time? I have been worrying about this matter, so I couldn't help but ask Hai. The girl confided."

Zhou Huajun was stunned for a while after hearing this: "Sister Wu, I think it's amazing that you can have such an idea! This is very good. Don't obey your mother's mercy in everything. She only thinks about her mother's family. Brother, you are not really doing it for the Wu family, I can’t believe it!” Zhou Xuejun couldn’t help coughing, and Haitang secretly wiped his sweat.

That's true, but little girl Zhou Huajun, some things don't need to be said clearly in person. No matter how bad Mrs. Gui is, she is still Wu Qiong's biological mother. Wu Qiong could say some things, but it was better for others to be more tactful.

Zhou Xuejun said hurriedly: "Sister Wu's idea is good, but brother Wu can study for the imperial examination and revive the Wu family. What can sister Wu do? You can't also take the examination, right?"

Zhou Huajun said: "It's easy. You just need to find a good husband to marry in the future. Even if Sister Wu is a woman, she can't help Brother Wu, but her husband can! So, Sister Wu is trying to find a good husband. Right? Someone with a good family background and talent who can help Brother Wu."

Zhou Xuejun frowned: "Then how to find it? Just like the sisters of the Tang family, they study, learn poetry, learn chess, calligraphy and painting, learn rules and etiquette, and then attend banquets everywhere to please the ladies and make a name for themselves "Although I think Sister Wu is no worse than others, how can Sister Wu cope with those ladies?"

Zhou Huajun thought for a while: "Then let grandma help. Grandma knows so many people, so she must know which family's son has talent and character, right? When the time comes, let her help match up, and she will definitely be able to find a good match for Sister Wu. Langjun!"

Wu Qiong listened carefully, but also hesitated: "Is it really possible? Although I am the daughter of the Wu family, the Wu family has been in decline for many years, and is weak and weak. My mother's reputation is not good..."

Zhou Xuejun said hesitantly: "It's okay. You grew up in Cining Palace, and now you are brought up by my grandmother. Who dares to say that you are not good? Besides, you are also the cousin of His Highness Seventh Prince. This amount is different from others.”

Wu Qiong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If I have to rely on the reputation of the Queen Mother, Her Majesty the Seventh Prince, and the Duke of Zhenguo to get a good relationship, then can my future husband really help my cousin? He If they are here for the Empress Dowager, Her Majesty the Seventh Prince, and Madam Zhen Guo, they certainly have something to ask for, so how can they sincerely help our Wu family regain its lintel?"

Zhou Xuejun and Zhou Huajun were both stopped by her question. The former was silent and the latter was also a little confused: "But you said it yourself, the current situation of the Wu family cannot help you. If you want to find a good marriage , How can it be possible without relying on the reputation of the Queen Mother, Her Majesty the Seventh Prince, and our Zhou family? Do you want to rely on your cousin? Brother Wu has only been studying for a few years, and now he has just started to study seriously. God knows how many years it will take until he succeeds in the imperial examination. If he can't succeed in the imperial examination, will you never marry? If you marry well, it will be helpful to him in the imperial examination, right?"

This time it was Wu Qiong's turn to remain silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuejun comforted her and said: "Don't think too much, it's still early. You should come with me first and learn the rules from Ma Shangyi. Grandma said that she would invite a female gentleman to teach us sisters. You will also learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When you return to the capital in the future, you are talented and beautiful, and you are the granddaughter of Duke Wu Wen'an. You will definitely be favored by the children of the high family, but you may not be able to find him by then. Come to Ruyihuangjun?”

Although Zhou Xuejun is young, she has a lot of contact with the Tang sisters now, and often hears people around them say these words, so she also writes them down, and now she just uses them to comfort Wu Qiong.

But Haitang had objections: "Can you really marry a good man just by showing off your talent and beauty and attracting the attention of children from high-ranking families? How is the so-called good man defined? ? What kind of son-in-law does the Wu family need? Is it a son-in-law with a distinguished family background, or someone with talents? How can Miss Wu help the Wu family by marrying such a person? You just need to sit at home and wait?”

Zhou Huajun and Wu Qiong looked at each other. Zhou Xuejun regained his energy and quickly sat up straight: "Sister Hai, you think this is wrong? Then what do you think?"
