Rong Tian frowned slightly: "That's the case, Rong Chen must not be allowed to mess around. How can a girl's family's reputation be ruined by him at will. Our Rong family absolutely cannot do such a thing."

Wu Shi followed Rong Tian over these years, so it was easy for him to know what he was thinking, and he immediately heard what he was thinking, and told him all the news he knew.

"Although she is an orphan girl, her upbringing is good. Does the master know who her foster mother is?" Wu said pretending to be mysterious.

"Who? I know?"

Wu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Isn't it just acquaintance. Why doesn't the master think about who is the mother in charge in Brother Rong's house now?"

"Mother Xia?"

Rong Tian immediately frowned: "Since it's her, this matter..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Shi said: "Master, do you know that Uncle Ru Yang's son once married a wife?"

Rong Tian nodded: "I have been there, but I have passed away."

Although there were not most of them at that time, Rong Tian followed some people to give gifts.

He didn't drink this banquet, but he will never forget He Jitong's marriage.

"But what does it have to do with...that Xia's mother?"

"Where can it be unrelated?" Wu said: "The relationship is too big. The first wife of the son was not the daughter of the Yan family, and she was the daughter of the eldest master of the Yan family. Two. For such a marriage, Mrs. Yan specially asked for help from her natal family. Both Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan’s natal family came from the Zhonglehou Mansion. I heard that they were the wives of the Zhonglehou Mansion After asking Princess Danyang, Mama Xia has been working as a nurturing mother for a few months.",

Rong Tian hummed.

Think about it too, how could an orphan girl invite a foster mother.

The reason is not here.

After hearing Wu Shi's explanation, Rong Tian became more interested in Qing Huan.

Mrs. Wu saw it, and said with a smile: "Although it was only a few months, the old lady Yan didn't favor one person over another, and the girls followed suit. At that time, Miss Seven's younger brother was only about five years old. It was when Bingxue was cute, and it pleased Mama Xia for a while, and only then did we have future contacts."

Of course, the rumor said that it was like Rong Chen's words when he was a child, so Wu Shi naturally didn't know.

The people in Princess Danyang's mansion would not spread such words foolishly.

Qing Huan, who loves her younger brother, will not do the same.

Wu's knowledge is only approximate, but such words explain the acquaintance between Qing Huan and Xia's mother.

Although Rong Tian was a little moved, he still didn't agree directly to be on the safe side, thinking that he would investigate in secret, so that nothing would happen because of it.

Rong Tian didn't want to find a good wife for Rong Chen.

Originally, his father could no longer handle his son.

Standing behind Rong Chen is Princess Danyang. When he was young, father and son had few opportunities to be together alone, and the family relationship was very thin.Now that Rong Chen has the official position of the fourth rank, it is even more difficult to make him obedient.

Although Rong Tian wanted to find a wife for Rong Chen.

But in my heart I just want to find a normal one.

But I also understand that if it is too ordinary, Princess Danyang will not pass the test.

If the seventh daughter of the Yan family is really what Wu said, they can be used, what can an orphan girl do.

Rong Tian's subordinates responded quickly.

When you see that Qing Huan's uncle's house is Cheng's.

Rong Tian didn't stop Qing Huan because of this, but he felt happy in his heart, thinking that there was another excuse for Princess Danyang to agree to this marriage.

From Rong Tian's point of view, the Cheng family was nothing more than someone in the family who was an official.

Besides, it's just my uncle's family and not my mother's family.

Besides, Rong Chen and Cheng Jingxin's friendship, how could Rong Tian not know about it.If the Cheng family wanted to help Rong Chen move, adding Qing Huan would not be worth it.

It's just that Rong Tian has other ideas in his mind.

But it was quickly overshadowed by the news of his subordinates and the persuasion of the person next to him.

When the Wu family confirmed that Rong Tian had agreed to this marriage, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.Mrs. Wu is not only busy with Rong Chen's marriage, her son's side is the top priority.

Of course it's different from Rong Chen, if Qing Huan really becomes Rong Chen's wife, then her family background will be much worse than that of her sister-in-law.

The family who wanted to propose marriage was also happy.

As for the other son's marriage to his natal family, Mrs. Wu hasn't mentioned it to Rong Tian yet, and she plans to make a show of it later.

……

There happened to be someone from Wu's natal family who was related to Wang Qiang's natal family.

He said some words from it, and he found an excuse to visit Yan's family smoothly, and the words revealed the meaning of wanting to get married.

Everyone in Yan's mansion thought that the other party probably had a crush on the fourth girl.

After all, Qing Huan is just a girl.

After Wang Qiang received the news, she went to find the eldest wife.

Although the eldest wife was not happy in her heart, she also understood that if someone came to visit, if she was just a concubine, she would not be bothered at all, but if it involved a marriage.

If she objected, there might be troubles in the second room.

In desperation, the eldest lady had no choice but to talk to the old lady Yan about this matter.

Old lady Yan was very happy.

Although I don't know who it is for the Rong family, but no matter which one it is, it is good.Rong Chen's words were backed by Princess Danyang, if it was the child of the little Wu family, wouldn't Rong Tian be there.

The future is also good.

At least... better than the marriage that the second master chose.

Everyone thinks so.

The second wife also got the news very quickly.

"My son, look... Even if that damn girl doesn't help, it should be yours or yours."

What she said made the fourth girl blush, but she felt even more joyful in her heart.

The person who came in name was Mrs. Wu, and Xiao Wu came with her natal sister-in-law.

This hospitality can be regarded as justified.

The middle door of the mansion was opened wide, leading the guests directly to the Rongshou Hall.

Old Mrs. Yan and First Wife were waiting there, Second Wife and Wang Qiang were also among them.

Only a few girls are missing.

Of course, knowing that the other party is here to see each other, even if you are a hundred happy in your heart.There is still some restraint that should be there.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu are invited to sit down.

Chunzhi serves tea with autumn leaves.

Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "The old lady is really a lucky person. These maids are all so handsome. It would be great to think of a few granddaughters."

In today's action, Madam Wu is actually more eager than Mrs. Wu.

When Gu Er asked her to go with her when Mrs. Wu asked, she immediately agreed.

After all, her daughter is still in the Rong Mansion. If she wants to marry someone who used to be the mistress in the future, how can she not take a good look at her.At least not to bring too much threat to his daughter.

So although it shouldn't be like this, after a few people took their seats, Mrs. Wu couldn't wait to mention the purpose of coming today, which was to see a few girls.

Everyone thought that the purpose of today's visit was the fourth girl.

Therefore, when Qing Huan appeared with the four girls, one was bright and the other was simple.

The fourth girl looks good, but Qing Huan only has a pretty face.

In terms of appearance, Mrs. Wu is already inclined to Qing Huan, but Mrs. Wu has her own considerations and is afraid that Rong Chen, who has a poor appearance, will not like it, but this matter can be put aside for now.

Qing Huan only wore a long dress that was probably new, and a emerald silver hairpin was inserted obliquely on her head.

On the contrary, the fourth girl was well-dressed.

"This is Miss Four and Miss Seven of our family." Wang Qiang smiled and pulled the two of them to Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu: "This is Mrs. Wu, this is Mrs. Wu."

Wang Qiang cleverly changed Wu's title to Mrs. Wu.

Qing Huan followed the four girls to salute.

"Hello madam, hello madam."

"Okay." Mrs. Wu smiled and pulled the two of them to have a closer look.

The fourth girl blushed and let Mrs. Wu scrutinize her.

On the other hand, Qing Huan just held hands and looked at it, and gave her a pair of twisted silver bracelets as a gift, nothing else.The fourth girl took a pair of jade bracelets.

Qing Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

The same is true for the four girls.

Whether the meeting ceremony is more important or not, everyone thinks that Mrs. Wu has taken a fancy to the fourth girl.

"But you can read? What do you do on weekdays?"

After some consideration, the fourth girl said: "I know how to read. The old lady in the house has invited the foster mother to teach her for a while. On weekdays, I like to do some needlework and occasionally read books."

In the words, it was vaguely pointed out that he had asked his mother to teach.

It's Qing Huan's turn.

Qing Huan replied casually: "I don't know much, and I'm still learning." She just lowered her head in embarrassment while talking. In Wu's opinion, it's not because the child knows too little and feels embarrassed.

Mrs. Wu has completely leaned towards Qing Huan.

Xiao Wu is a young talented woman, if Qing Huan married, wouldn't it be to set off her daughter.Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu no longer cares what Mrs. Wu thinks.

I made up my mind that I must choose Qing Huan.

As for the four girls, Mrs. Wu sneered.

Such a person who loves to dress up and wants to show off, how can she let her marry into the Rong Mansion, that is not to suppress her daughter everywhere, this is not Mrs. Wu's original intention.

When Mrs. Wu left, she still held Miss Si to talk for a while.

Apart from being asked a few questions at first, Qing Huan kept her head down, occasionally feeling the eyes of the person named Mrs. Wu sizing her up.

Although a little uncomfortable, Qing Huan moved her body and buried her head lower.

Back in the carriage.

Mrs. Wu said directly: "That's the seventh girl."

Wu frowned: "Isn't this appearance a little bit worse." Since ancient times, men have liked beautiful people.Wu himself can say that he is serving others with color.

Mrs. Wu said: "What's the matter? If you choose someone with good looks, then Princess Danyang may doubt the motives of the auntie. Although the seventh girl is not beautiful, she is more beautiful. Besides... if you like beautiful people, Don't you have your niece?"

Wu Shi thought about it too, paused and said: "I have been looking at her just now, and I feel a little worried. It is not suitable for a crowded occasion."

From Wu's point of view, a person who shrinks after being glanced at by others is really not expected to be a housewife.

Although this is a beautiful misunderstanding.

But in Wu's eyes who didn't know it, this was the most important reason why she made up her mind to choose Qinghuan recently.

After going back, Wu and Rong Tian who were in the room talked about what happened today.

She just deliberately concealed the reason for shrinking, after all, she knew that although Rong Tian didn't like Rong Chen, she didn't like the submissive behavior of her family even more.

After hearing Wu's words, and comparing with those four girls, Rong Tian felt that Qing Huan was more in line with what he thought in his heart.

Rong Tian inquired about his idea in his heart, fearing that the night would be long and dreamy. After all, the Danyang Princess Mansion has recently spread the news that he will choose a wife for Rong Chen.

Moreover, many wives have been in and out of Princess Danyang's mansion these days.

Although I only inquired about a few people, it is not difficult to see that they are all from good families.

Thinking of this, Rong Tian didn't delay for a moment, and took Wu Shi directly to Princess Danyang's mansion.

……

Upon hearing the news of Rong Tian's arrival, Princess Danyang raised her eyebrows.

"Mother Xia, please send some wives away."

Xia's mother agreed with a smile. These days, she is in Princess Danyang's mansion during the day because of Rong Chen's affairs.After so many years, the master and servant understand Princess Danyang's thoughts.

Mother Xia personally sent the carriages of several wives out, and then went to the gate to meet Rong Tian.

When she saw Mrs. Wu, Xia's mother's face darkened.

"Why is Master Rong here?"

Xia's mother only pretended not to see Mrs. Wu.

Although Wu shi hated it in her heart, she was even more determined in her heart that this marriage must be finalized.

Although it was just a carriage just now, it is not difficult to see from the emblems on the carriage that the people in it are from prominent families, even better than the few families in the past few days.

If Rong Chen really married one of them.

Then what is there to look forward to in the future.

Rong Tian said in a cold voice: "I want to see the princess about Brother Rong's matter."

Xia's mother frowned, looking a little embarrassed, as if she was unwilling to introduce him.

Wu said: "Mother Xia, our master is always Brother Rong's father. The elders are the masters of this marriage, so how can we bypass the master."

What she said made Xia's mother's complexion change.

But at the same time brought a few people into the mansion.

Princess Danyang snorted when she saw Rong Tian and Wu Shi.

"I don't know what Master Rong is here for today?"

Mother Xia leaned close to Princess Danyang and whispered a few words in her ear.

Princess Danyang frowned, glanced at Rong Tian, ​​sighed, and ordered the servant girl to move a chair over and invite Rong Tian to sit down.

Rong Tian felt a little proud.

As for Wu's lack of a chair, and being neglected by others, he doesn't even have one. It's not as good as the treatment of a servant like Mama Xia, Rong Tian just pretended not to.

Besides, he also knew very well that Princess Danyang didn't like the Wu family.

If one day she sees Wu's happy appearance, Rong Tian will wonder if there is something in it that he doesn't know.

"What are you talking about here? Isn't it up to me to decide Brother Rong's affairs?" Princess Danyang said lightly.

Rong Tian said calmly: "That's the case, but I've heard some news in the past few days." As he spoke, he told about the fact that Rong Chen and Qing Huan might have ruined each other's reputation. .

Princess Danyang's face changed slightly.

Rong Tian continued: "Although not many people know about it, how can a family like ours not admit to doing such a thing. If we can't hide it in the future and the news gets out, wouldn't it hurt the girl for the rest of her life?"

Princess Danyang snorted softly, with a little displeasure on her face.

Rong Tian continued: "Speaking of which, the princess also knows that girl." Then he looked at Mama Xia who was at the side: "Mama Xia taught for a while."

Rong Tian told Qing Huan out, and said that he finally made up his mind because of the friendship between Rong Chen and the Cheng family.

"Although the family background is a bit poor, but the upbringing taught by Xia's mother is definitely not that bad." When he said this, Rong Tian glanced at Xia's mother from the corner of his eye.

Mother Xia's expression was a little anxious.

Princess Danyang rushed to the line and said: "I have seen that child before. It was for this matter that I gave that Yu Ruyi at the Qionghua Banquet. Presumably no one will gossip about her in the future after having that Yu Ruyi. "

"But..." Mrs. Wu was a little embarrassed: "After hearing the news yesterday, the master asked me to go to Nayan Mansion today^"

Before he finished speaking, a teacup next to Wu shattered on the ground.

Wu Shi was taken aback by the debris, but she was even happier in her heart.

Look……

You want to find someone with a good family background for Rong Chen, but right now there is no other way.

Rong Tian didn't turn his head back, he didn't care whether Wu Shi was injured or not, he just said with a serious face: "No matter what, our Rong family will definitely not deny this marriage."

After thinking for a while, Rong Tian said, "Madam's former pair of twisted silk bracelets were also given to that girl."

The implication is that this marriage has to happen if it doesn't work out.

"Get lost." Princess Danyang was furious.

Rong Tian got up and said respectfully: "Then I'll leave first. The matter of the betrothal gift..."

"Mother Xia, see off the guests."

Mother Xia's face was full of annoyance: "Master Rong, please."

Rong Tian turned and left with a cold face.

Wu shi lowered her eyes and followed them away.

But everyone knew in their hearts that this marriage must be finalized.

Unless Qing Huan died before marrying Rong Chen.

Xia's mother sent Rong Tian to the door, and said in a low voice: "Master Rong, no matter what, this news cannot be spread before the answer is given."

Rong Tian smiled: "Of course I understand this, please trouble Mama Xia to go back and tell the princess. Brother Rong is also my child."

Mama Xia hummed.

"The matter of the betrothal gift, let's wait a little longer. We'll talk about it in two days..."

Rong Tian was even more happy in his heart, and took Wu Shi directly back to Dongrong Mansion.

Mother Xia returned to the house.

Princess Danyang had already been half lying on the bed, her eyes were squinted, and her face was full of smiles.

Mother Xia didn't deliberately lower her footsteps.

Princess Danyang smiled and said, "He's gone?"

Xia's mother nodded: "No, I didn't expect it to be wrong. Master Rong and the Wu family are very satisfied with Qing Huan." Although their satisfaction is different from that of Princess Danyang.

But at least this marriage is at least done.

Princess Danyang nodded and said: "Before the Geng Tie is exchanged, don't make any noise about it."

Mama Xia agreed with a smile.

Rong Chen, who had been waiting for the news, soon got the news from Princess Danyang, and was very happy in his heart.

And the little Wu family in Rong's mansion also got the news from Mrs. Wu.

Hearing Mrs. Wu's evaluation of Qing Huan, I felt very disdainful towards the future mistress.Because they are both competitors, Xiao Wu just said in front of Xu Lan that there will be a mistress in the future.

However, Qing Huan's name was not mentioned.
