Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 600 is a foregone conclusion (first update)
The old Marquis was also depressed. Because of the Heli farce, a large sum of dowry and money-spinners were lost, and the reputation of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion and his title were also lost. As a result, the Yin family wanted to When they got up, the emperor personally supported them.What is the reason for their Qiu family's infighting?
However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and it is useless to talk about it now.At the moment, he is more concerned about the marriage of his only legitimate son, Qiu Xiran.Originally, the legitimate daughter of the Qingming Palace was pretty good, but Zhang Ling'er had just been involved in the assassination of the royal princess not long ago, offending the Queen and the British Duke. She was really not a good match.

The problem now is that regardless of whether she is a good match or not, Qiu Xiran has to marry her, otherwise she will become enemies with the Qingming House.What's more, Ji's letter also said that Xi'er had already fallen in love with this girl and had already made it known that the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion was coming to propose marriage.

Qiu Yiran still wanted to weigh it up: "Dad, Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry sent someone to ask if Xi'er was engaged. It seems that he intended to tell Xi'er about his second daughter Liu Si." The Liu family and Mrs. Liu's My natal Huo family is a big family that has experienced several dynasties, and is not comparable to the upstarts like the Qingming uncle's family.

Liu family?Just as the old Marquis was about to speak, Qiu Yanran, who was walking into the study, had already interrupted: "I heard that Liu Meimei is not only ugly, but also tall and thick. How can she be worthy of my second brother?" There are some things she can't say now, Liu Meimei Meimei is not only ugly, but she is also known as a nymphomaniac, unable to walk when she sees good-looking men.In her previous life, I heard that she had been eyeing her aunt and cousin Xiang Junran for many years. Unfortunately, let alone a handsome man like Master Xiang who was unparalleled in the world, the elders of the Xiang family were unwilling to look down on her.In her previous life, Liu Meimei later married a poor scholar, and it was said that she was a man who wanted her son-in-law.

The funny thing is that Liu Meimei could be a nymphomaniac, but she didn't allow her husband to take concubines, but she couldn't give birth to a child. In the end, she adopted a son from her husband's brother.Not long before her death in her previous life, rumors spread in Beijing that Liu Meimei's adopted son was actually the son of her husband-in-law who was raised outside the house, and that her husband's family staged a secret plot without telling her.

Qiu Yiran was stunned: "The most important thing about marrying a virtuous wife is that she can help Xi'er. After all, she is a lady from a noble family." If the main wife is ugly, the worst she can do is to have more beautiful concubines in the future.

Qiu Yanran sneered coldly: "Brother, that's easy to say. Are you happy to let you marry an ugly wife? How many portraits have you seen before? You won't be happy if you are even slightly ugly." It really hurts my back to stand and talk!Can you help my second brother?Is it to help Qiu Yiran herself?
Qiu Yiran: "..." Can he be the same?His first wife is destined to be the wife of Marquis Qingyuan. If her looks are not good enough, will she not lose the face of Marquis Qingyuan's palace if she goes out?
"Yan'er, shut up!" Old Marquis shouted, "Why are you talking to your eldest brother? Why don't you apologize to Yi'er?" There is nothing wrong with defending your biological brother, but you are sarcastic. Aren't you afraid of Qiu Yiran's suspicion?As for the midwife, he hasn't settled the score with Yan'er yet.I have told her before that if you want to do something, you must ensure that you hit it with one hit. If you are not sure, you can't make a move.Although this daughter has the ability to predict the future, she is still not calm enough!

"Brother, I'm sorry," Qiu Yanran muttered reluctantly, "but what I said is also true. Moreover, speaking of helping the second brother, the second brother is currently studying at Huating Academy in the capital. If he can get Uncle Qingming His teachings, not to mention Jinshi, can always give him a try. With the help of my uncle’s students, I might be able to find a good official position in the future."

The second brother Qiu Xiran has been spoiled since he was a child and doesn't like reading. But he can still get in if he really puts his mind to studying.This was the case in the previous life. After getting engaged to Zhang Ling'er, he was forced to study by Uncle Qingming. Although he only passed the examination for scholars, he also passed the examination when he was later recruited by the imperial court to recruit officials.

In this life, the second brother has entered Huating Academy, and his parents have begun to pay attention to his studies again. He must be better than in the previous life no matter what, right?

After listening to Qiu Yanran's analysis, the old Marquis, who was still a little dissatisfied with Zhang Ling'er, nodded in agreement. Xi'er lost the opportunity to seize the title, and now she wants to get ahead and use the power of the Qingming Palace to study and become an official. It's a way out.Otherwise, without fame and honor, it would be difficult for the fifth prince to help even if he wanted to, and he could only do odd jobs. Speaking of which, Yanran still considered the long term.

Qiu Yiran also felt that what Yanran said made sense, but he just needed Liu Shangshu's help now, didn't he?Moreover, subconsciously, he himself was only a scholar, and he really didn't want to see Qiu Xiran get a higher degree of fame. He didn't want others to compare the two brothers. He was used to being the hope of his family since he was a child. He is the most capable successor to the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Furthermore, it was his good fortune that the Liu family could like Xi Ran.He had already asked someone to check it out. If Liu Meimei hadn't happened to see Xi Ran and fell in love with his appearance on the way to go to incense, and that day he had drawn a marriage lottery, how could the Liu family have fallen in love with Xi Ran? A good-for-nothing student?

"But," Qiu Yiran still wanted to fight for it, "Zhang Ling'er has a bad reputation. You should have heard that their reputation as a white-eyed wolf has spread from the capital to Luo City."

"Tsk -" Qiu Yanran snorted coldly, "When it comes to reputation, our Qingyuan Hou Mansion is really evenly matched with the Yin Mansion in the capital. What's more, Zhang Ling'er is a member of the Zhang family of Qingming Bofu."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about irrelevant words or past things anymore," Mr. Qiu Laohou glared at Yanran, "Xi'er is holding the girl in front of everyone. She is very dissatisfied. This marriage is already a foregone conclusion, otherwise The marriage failed and turned into enmity. As for the Liu family, the incident between Xi'er and the girl from the Zhang family happened in the capital. It is estimated that the Liu family already knows about it by now and will not mention it again. "

After saying that, the old Marquis turned to Qiu Yiran: "When Mrs. Xu is out of confinement, your mother and the others should have almost settled down in the capital. Let Mrs. Xu go over and help your mother, Zhang Luoxi'er, get engaged. My eldest sister-in-law is like my mother. This is the first big thing for Xi'er." Now that Ji has no official title, she no longer even calls her "old lady". She can only be called old lady, and she will go to the Qingming uncle's house to arrange the engagement and marriage. When it comes to things, first of all, you should be inferior to others.

Qiu Yiran nodded in agreement, this is what should be done.But, where did Qiu Xiran's betrothal gift come from?He knew best how much money and property there was in the house. In addition to the fifth prince's betrothal gift to Qiu Yanran, he was afraid that Yuan Niang would also have to bring something out.After all, this is about the face of Qingyuan Houfu.Fortunately, Yanran is getting married this year, and Xiran's marriage will be scheduled for a year later.
