The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

The smile on Zuo Xiangning's face grew stronger, and she took it with a smile, "Thank you, brother."

"Besides this sentence, can you say another sentence?" Zuo Zixi said with a smile: "I will send someone to send you a piece of leather in a while, and you will make me a pair of knee pads. My knees are uncomfortable, so I will use the knee pads you made." It works quite well.”

"I have leather there." Zuo Xiangning stuffed her purse into her sleeves and left happily.

After leaving Zuo Zixi's study in the front yard, Zuo Xiangning turned around the second door and was wondering whether to go to Fanghua Courtyard or go back to her own yard when she saw Min Yujia walking from the direction of Fanghua Courtyard.

"Fourth sister, where are you going?" Min Yujia smiled and waved to her.

Zuo Xiangning hurriedly went up to her and took her arm, "Sister-in-law, did you just come back from your mother's place?"

"In the morning, my mother and I met with the steward of the outer courtyard to make arrangements for the Chinese New Year. We also met with several shopkeepers. My mother accompanied me to check the accounts." Min Yujia's little face turned red, "My mother said, Let me get to know them first, and then let me take care of the house after the New Year."

"Mother wants my sister-in-law to spend more time with my eldest brother during this time, right?" Zuo Xiangning tilted her head and teased: "After my eldest brother leaves, my sister-in-law will have time, and then my mother will give the middle-aged gift." Leave it to my sister-in-law, but if my sister-in-law has a nephew, I don’t think my mother will be able to hand it over for a while."

"Xiang Ning, what are you talking about?" Min Yujia blushed and patted Zuo Xiangning, "I originally wanted to tell you a secret, but now it seems that I won't tell you anymore!"

"What's the secret?" Zuo Xiangning pestered Min Yujia, "If you don't tell me, I will go to my mother and accuse you of bullying me."

"Go ahead! Mother is a sensible person, so it's all in vain."

"Good sister-in-law, just tell me."

Min Yujia teased Zuo Xiangning for a while, and then told her the news he heard today.

"I tell you, you must not ask mother." Min Yujia took Zuo Xiangning back to the yard where she lived. After sending everyone out of the room, she said with a smile: "Grandma mentioned it to mother. Your marriage to cousin Ruochen..."

Zuo Xiangning's expression suddenly changed.

The way Jiang Ruochen looked at her yesterday suddenly appeared in front of her.

"What did mother say?"

"Mom didn't express her position, but I think she was quite satisfied with it." Min Yujia smiled and gave Zuo Xiangning a purse, "This is the money I will use to buy you new year's goods. If you want to buy anything, just let someone buy it yourself. If it’s not enough, tell me again.”

Zuo Xiangning took the purse and returned to Xianglanzhai with a smile.

After entering the door, she sat down on the chair with a heavy heart.

Her mother knew her intentions, so why didn't she refuse her grandmother right then?

The matter between her and Ruochen's cousin must not be mentioned again, otherwise, it will really easily damage the harmony between the two families.

Zuo Xiangning stood up and went to the front yard again.

Zuo Zixi picked up the book and read two pages when he heard a knock on the door from outside. He thought it was Min Yujia, so he stood up and said with a smile: "Come in."

"Big brother?"

But it was Zuo Xiangning who came in.

"Did you have any unfinished arrangements just now?" Zuo Zixi asked with a smile.

"Brother, I want to tell you something." Zuo Xiangning stood next to Zuo Zixi, lowered her head, and whispered: "I heard that my grandmother seemed to have mentioned to my mother the matter between me and my cousin Ruochen. .”

"You and Ruochen?" Zuo Zixi asked in surprise, "What do you want?"

Zuo Xiangning was unspeakable and recounted what had happened before.

"This matter cannot be discussed over and over again," Zuo Zixi asked with a frown: "Then what do you think? Ruochen is a good man. Although he does not have Ling Xiao's momentum and courage, he He will definitely be a responsible and good husband in the future." "Brother, I only have family affection for cousin Ruochen," Zuo Xiangning hurriedly expressed her attitude firmly, "I have promised Ling Xiao, and it is not him. marry."

Zuo Zixi raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll go tell my mother."

"Mother knows my thoughts." Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips in grievance.

Zuo Zixi was stunned, "Then mother doesn't agree?"

"Mother... mother is a little bit dissatisfied because of Ling Xiao's previous affairs with Zhongyuan Hou Mansion." Zuo Xiangning added: "The Queen also knows about Ling Xiao's affairs."

Zuo Zixi sat on the chair next to him and asked Zuo Xiangning to sit down and talk.

He blinked and asked, "What do you think?"

"I came here to ask for help because I had no other options." Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips, "You have to help me now anyway."

"Actually, mother's worries are not unreasonable," Zuo Zixi said, "If I had to choose between Ling Xiao and Ruochen, I would also agree to choose Ruochen."

"Brother——" Zuo Xiangning said angrily.

"You and Ruochen are together, and you have a mother-like relationship. With the family tradition of the Jiang family and Ruochen's temperament, you can talk to each other for the rest of your life, and your life is guaranteed to be comfortable. But if you marry Ling Xiao , with his arrogant temper, you may have to be suppressed by him for the rest of your life." Zuo Zixi advised: "Emotions are only temporary. Once you get married, as time goes by, no matter how important the relationship is, it will turn into family love. .”

"Brother, I really want to be with Ling Xiao." Zuo Xiangning choked with red eyes: "If I really marry my cousin against my will, not only will I not be happy, but it will also be too much for my cousin." It’s not fair, does my eldest brother want to see my cousin and I become bitter couples?”

Zuo Zixi was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "I'm going to find my mother now."

"Thank you, brother." Zuo Xiangning jumped up happily.

"I just went to discuss it with my mother. I don't know what the specific outcome will be yet." Zuo Zixi glared at Zuo Xiangning and walked towards the door.

Zuo Xiangning hurriedly went to open the door for him and said with a smile: "The general comes out, one can take care of the other two."

"Flatterer!" Zuo Zixi straightened Zuo Xiangning's hairpin, "Go back to your yard and act like you never knew about this."

"Yes!" Zuo Xiangning and Zuo Zixi walked to the second door, then turned to the garden and returned to Xianglanzhai.

Zuo Zixi went to Fanghuayuan alone.

When Mrs. Jiang saw him coming in, she smiled and said, "Your wife has gone back a long time ago."

"My son is here to see his mother." Zuo Zixi blushed and greeted Jiang, then sat next to her.

Jiang asked someone to pour him a cup of tea, "Don't worry, I won't let your wife take care of the house yet. There are just so many people coming these days. I'll let your wife show her face first and become familiar with her."

"She is now the daughter-in-law of our Zuo family. Whatever mother wants her to do, just tell her," Zuo Zixi said solemnly, "Mother is the most kind and kind, and my son is not worried about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all."

Jiang covered his mouth and laughed, and said in a very good mood: "You have poured so much ecstasy soup into me, do you have something to ask of me?"

Zuo Zixi glanced at everyone in the room, smiled and said to Jiang, "Let them go out first?"

Jiang's face changed slightly, causing everyone to retreat, and asked with concern: "What happened?"

Zuo Zixi thought for a moment and said, "Does mother know about Xiang Ning and Ling Xiao?"
