Marry the first wife

"No, just find a place to put it away."

Fu Yao looked at the banknotes with deep eyes. After the spring, Mrs. Xie would have to take them to a banquet. How could she have more time then.

"However, Guyu's silver cannot be kept in one place." She continued.

Anheyuan is not like the iron barrel of Madam Xie's Jinxiuyuan. Her place is leaky from all sides, and the money may disappear under her nose at any time.

Although she didn't care about those maids, she couldn't tolerate thieves around her.

Guyu nodded, "Girl, I want to separate the banknotes. The girl taught me before that it is safest not to put all the eggs in one basket."

Fu Yao tapped the tip of Gu Yu's nose and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, but that's the three cunning rabbit holes."

There was a burst of playfulness in the house, and the snow on the branches outside the window gradually melted.

In March of spring, the maids of General Jingyuan's Mansion took off their heavy coats and skirts and put on thinner spring shirts.

Anheyuan.

The pretty woman in the bronze mirror is getting slimmer, and her light-colored clothes make her complexion more rosy.

Guyu stood aside and watched the girl's face gradually changing day by day, "Girl, I think you are more beautiful. The girl has also grown taller, and..."

"And what?"

Fu Yao looked at Gu Yu in surprise, her good mood today evident between her brows.

"And..." Gu Yu's eyes fell on a certain part of his master's body, and he hesitated to say a complete sentence.

Fu Yao followed Guyu's gaze and looked over, her face suddenly turned red and she said delicately: "Bad scoundrel!"

"What the slave said is true. The girl is really getting more and more beautiful."

A woman likes her own appearance. Of course she will be happy when she hears someone complimenting herself.

"By the way, have the second uncle and the others come back?"

Fu Yao was sitting at the round table eating a bowl of bird's nest. Maybe it was because she was getting married. Mrs. Xie had been treating her better and better these days, and everything she ate was good.

Not the best but still much better than what I had before.

Guyu shook his head honestly, "Didn't you hear, little sister, when will the second master and his family come back?"

Fu Yao lowered her eyes and stopped moving in her hands.

She was a little confused as to what her second uncle and his family were going to do. They sent a letter a few years ago saying they were going back to Beijing, but she didn't expect that the exam was about to begin and she hadn't seen a single person yet.

No matter how long the journey is, we should be home now.

Unless there was trouble on the road, if there was trouble they should have known about it, so they wouldn't have no news at all now.

"Miss, the old lady wants you to go to Ning'an Hall."

The maid guarding the door came in to report.

"Grandma, did you tell me what happened?" Fu Yao glanced at the maid standing at the door and asked softly.

The maid was blessed and said respectfully, "I don't know."

Fu Yao glanced at Gu Yu, turned around and said, "I understand, you go tell grandma, I will go right away."

Ning'an Hall.

Fu Yao squatted half-crouched and couldn't stop looking at the people around her. The wrinkles on her grandmother's face were piled up, while Mrs. Xie looked at her with compassion in her eyes and a smile on her face.

Fu Yu and Fu Fang are not here.

There was a thump in my heart, and I thought carefully about the time I spent huddled in Anheyuan, and never took the initiative to cause trouble, so I felt quite at ease.

"Grandma, mother is okay!"

Mrs. Fu glanced at Mrs. Xie beside her and said slowly, "Girl Yao, if grandma remembers correctly, you are also sixteen this year." The smile on Fu Yao's face froze, and she responded with a smile: " To say it back to my grandmother, that’s true.”

"Girl Yao, do you know about the Li family's visit a few days ago?"

Fu Yao raised her eyes slightly and said softly: "I heard a little bit."

Mrs. Fu sat cross-legged on the couch, took the tea served by Mrs. Xie, and then said: "Then do you know what the Li family is talking about?"

Slightly tightening the handkerchief embroidered with crabapple flowers, Fu Yao pretended to be confused and said:

"Grandma, the Li family you are talking about is the Li family of the imperial merchants?"

Mrs. Fu nodded.

The Li family, or the Li family of the Imperial Merchant, if little sister Gu Yu has no problem, the Li family came to visit because of the marriage of the second young master Li, and the grandmother just asked about her age.

As if he thought of something, his heart sank suddenly, and he said nonchalantly: "Grandma, granddaughter doesn't know."

Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Xie looked at each other, and they both understood what the other was thinking.

Old Mrs. Fu coughed a few times and said loudly: "It is said that parents order matchmakers for their children's marriages. You have also reached the age of marriage. Your mother and I have been thinking about it these days."

Fu Yao stared at her grandmother with a heavy gaze, not daring to look away for fear that what her grandmother would say next second would make her...

"Then the second young master of the Li family is a very talented person. Your mother and I called you here today to ask what you think of the second young master Li."

Fu Yao took a step back suddenly, her hands hidden under her wide sleeves trembling slightly, but her face didn't show it: "Grandma knows, your granddaughter has been staying in Anheyuan these days and hasn't gone anywhere?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Fu opened her mouth. Of course she knew how cowardly this granddaughter was. She was just like a coward in Anheyuan.

Mrs. Xie raised her chin slightly and said in a calm voice: "Your grandmother and I have always known how well-behaved you are. I am calling you here today just to ask how you like Mr. Li."

Suddenly, the coldness flew over me, and the warm room like a nest made me feel like I had fallen into an ice cellar, and my beating heart became colder inch by inch.

"Mother, marriage is an important matter. It is the parents' order and the matchmaker's words."

Fu Yao lowered her head, saying that she would not say a word about this matter, at least not openly.

Her marriage was firmly in the hands of Mrs.

Without the support of her mother and the love of her grandmother, she could only rely on herself.

In order to live a smooth life in the future, I endured it no matter how much dissatisfaction I felt in my heart.

"Mother, does your father know about the Li family's marriage?" Fu Yao looked at Mrs. Xie expectantly.

Parents always need to know when their children get married.

"The general has approved this matter."

Who would have too much money on hand? This is true for her, and even more so for General Fu.

Before, she had refused to marry the Li family of the imperial merchants. Having such a relative would hinder her reputation after all.

Then I thought about it, it didn't matter if I wasn't marrying Fu Yu.

Fu Yao has a sweet temperament and dare not say a word about her marriage.

As soon as these words came out, the light in Fu Yao's eyes instantly disappeared. Her father also agreed to the marriage, so what should she do?

Blinking her eyes, she gathered her thoughts for a moment: "Grandma, mother, Yaoyao thinks that she is still young and there is no rush to get married. She wants to wait until the exam is over before considering it?"

Mrs. Xie narrowed her eyes slightly. She was not sure whether Fu Yao really didn't care about the marriage or whether she wanted to delay the marriage.

No matter which one it is, it doesn't hurt.

La la la, babies, that’s it for today, see you tomorrow!

If something is wrong, babies must say it!
