Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 118
She smiled and said in a low voice: "Missy doesn't know something, this is Madam's intention. Marriage in the girl's family is the order of the parents and the matchmaker's words. It is always unreasonable for the young lady to be present."

Xie Ruitong's face softened a little, but he was still unhappy.

She worked so hard to dress up, but it was a waste of time?
Xuehui had already thought of a countermeasure, and suggested in a low voice: "There is a compartment at the back of the flower hall. It was originally a place to serve tea to the guests. If the eldest lady doesn't mind it, you can sit and listen in it."

The compartments are close together so that what is said inside can be heard clearly, and Madam Xie and Madam Yun can't see it, which is a good way.

Xie Ruitong couldn't wait to hear it with her own ears, but she couldn't refuse, so she hurriedly urged Xuehui to lead the way.

The mother beside him was a little hesitant, the elders were talking, and the younger ones were eavesdropping in the cubicle, so it was a little unpleasant to hear it.

But Xie Ruitong is not a person who can listen to words, so the nanny swallowed all the words.

There are some things that are too much wrong to say, so it is better not to say them.

Going around to the small door and entering the cubicle, Xuehui had packed it up a long time ago, the things were neatly placed, and there were cushions on the chairs, obviously well prepared in advance.

Xie Ruitong nodded with satisfaction, sat down on the cushion, and Xuehui quickly brought a cup of Biluochun.

She sniffed the fragrance of tea and pricked up her ears to listen to the movement inside.

Xuehui couldn't stay for long, so she bit her ears with Nanny, it was nothing more than asking her to be careful in serving the eldest lady.

Mammy was annoyed when she heard that, the big maid in front of Madam Xie has long since fallen out of favor, and now she still looks superior, pointing fingers, it's really annoying.

She misunderstood Xuehui, who thought about Xie Ruitong's thoughts, and spent a lot of money to send away the little maid who was serving in the cubicle. Things got messed up, and my money was not only in vain, but also in a bad way. Naturally, I repeatedly told him that I wished I could stay and serve Xie Ruitong.

Mrs. Xie didn't notice that Xie Ruitong sneaked into the cubicle to eavesdrop, exchanged a few words with Mrs. Yun, and praised her to the sky.

Mrs. Yun is only a few years younger than Mrs. Xie, but looking at them, they are far apart.

Mrs. Yun likes to wear bright skirts, comb her hair in the fashionable women's hair, and wear first-class jewelry.The makeup is exquisite, the skin is fair and delicate, and the frown and smile are extremely charming. She doesn't look like a bitter widow, but she is very at ease.

It's not that no one is whispering behind her back. As a widow, Mrs. Yun is dressed too brightly and her attire is too flamboyant.

But on the bright side, each of them was holding her, and it could be seen that they were the fifteenth prince who was the backer behind Mrs. Yun.

Mrs. Yun doesn't care what these ladies think of her, she has heard too much flattery.

Mrs. Xie boasted a few words but she was at a loss for words. She also became a little impatient and interrupted softly: "The reason why I came to disturb the family today is because of Miss Xie. I shouldn't have come here in the first place, and I really can't shirk it." , I have to come here with a thick skin."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xie pinched her handkerchief to cover her lips and said with a smile: "If Madam is there, please trouble Madam to go there herself."

"It's not too much trouble, but I really don't know how to talk about it..." Mrs. Yun frowned, showing hesitation.

"Madam, just open your mouth. My girl and Madam hit it off right away. Madam will not harm Tong'er." Madam Xie was anxious, but Madam Yun was hesitant and never said anything, so she couldn't help being a little anxious.

"This is a good thing, how could it harm her?" Mrs. Yun smiled, and said in a low voice: "The last time the eldest girl went to the city gate for a walk, an adult who just came back to give a report passed by. Let me ask Madam what she means."

Mrs. Xie thought that the lord was the Fifteenth Prince, how could she not agree, and said with a smile on her face: "The female college is going to get married, we are parents, how can we stop?"

Mrs. Yun was still thinking about spending more time talking, but she didn't expect her to respond immediately: "Madam is right, if the girl stays with her family, she will become enemies if she stays. I will ask the adult to talk about it later, and ask the official media Come to the house."

Official media?

Mrs. Xie sensed that something was wrong. If the fifteenth prince proposes marriage, there is no need for an official matchmaker, just send someone to the door.

If the promise is not a concubine, you can ask the emperor to issue an order directly.

She was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Which adult is the lady talking about?"

Mrs. Yun also smiled: "I was impatient, I forgot to mention to Madam, it is Mr. Yuan, the governor of Shangzhou who returned to Beijing to report on his duties..."

If it was someone else, Mrs. Xie might not know.But she knew Mr. Yuan, the governor of Shangzhou.

Because Mr. Yuan had been with Mr. Xie before, but he was one or two years older than Mr. Xie at that time, Mrs. Xie's complexion suddenly turned a little dark.

She raised Xie Ruitong with all her heart, and all the good things are attached to this daughter, but she is not for marrying a bad old man!

He was still a man older than Xie Ruitong's own father, Mrs. Xie felt lost for a moment, and the smile on her mouth couldn't hold back.

Originally thought that Mrs. Yun came to propose marriage to the fifteenth prince, but now it seems that she is acting affectionately.

Mrs. Xie was full of complaints, but she didn't dare to offend Mrs. Yun. This lady has fifteen princes as her backer, so she can't be easily offended.

Mrs. Yun is a fine person, and she can tell Mrs. Xie's displeasure at a glance.

Before she came, she could have imagined that Mrs. Xie would not nod so easily.

Yuan Kelin did indeed have a good future. The wife in front of her passed away due to dystocia and hadn't had a remarriage for ten years.

If Xie Ruitong married, she would be a serious official wife.

His two daughters have reached the age of marriage, and Xie Ruitong will go out without worrying about how long he will spend with his stepdaughter.

Isn't she in charge of the entire Yuan family?

As soon as you go, you can become the eldest wife, and you can be the head of the family immediately. As long as you live up to your expectations, the remaining men and women will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Yuan family. Who can follow her in the future?
The two concubines below are both servant girls, so if they don't like it, just sell it.

Even if you don't care about it, there will be no storms.

It's a pity that Mrs. Xie is superficial, and she can't see the power of it at all.

Mrs. Yun is too lazy to talk to her, she is not a smart person, and it is tiring to talk too much: "I know Madam loves Miss Xie, and I am not busy with this matter, so I decided later, just send me a message."

After that, she got up to leave.

Unexpectedly, she heard a piercing sound in the compartment, and Madam Yun frowned.

In fact, she really felt a little pity for the governor of Shangzhou. It was not good to choose anyone, but she chose the eldest daughter of the Xie family.

Miss Xie, Mrs. Yun can see through it at a glance, she is nothing more than a woman dazzled by wealth.

It's okay to cling to wealth and honor, but it's still unclear.

On the contrary, the third daughter of the Xie family is a smart person.

If Yuan Kelin chose Xie Qiuniang, Mrs. Yun would be in trouble.

Now that Xie Ruitong is chosen, in her opinion, this eldest girl from the Xie family has cultivated blessings for countless lifetimes.

But Xie Ruitong was very ambitious in her heart, she wanted to follow the fifteen princes, and she didn't care about herself.

Mrs. Yun flicked her sleeves and walked away expressionlessly.

Mrs. Xie felt unhappy, and shouted sharply: "Whoever serves inside, there are no rules at all!"

Xie Ruitong walked out slowly with a look of grievance.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xie couldn't help being taken aback: "Tong'er, why are you in the cubicle? Could it be that you heard what you just said?"

She frowned. It was a little too much for a girl who hadn't left the cabinet to come to the cubicle to eavesdrop on what the elders said.

It's just that Mrs. Xie has always loved her. Seeing Xie Ruitong rushing over with a mournful face, she hurriedly coaxed: "Don't be afraid, this matter has not happened yet. I will discuss it with your father later. How can I ask you to marry and suffer as a second wife?"

Xie Ruitong heard Madam Yun's words, tears came down.

She felt resentful and sad, Mrs. Yun didn't come here to propose marriage for Long Zhiyu?
I have never heard of the governor of Shangzhou. He is probably an official abroad and doesn't come back often.

If you marry far away, wouldn't it be something wrong, you don't even have a natal family to help you?

Moreover, seeing Mrs. Xie's expression, she also disapproved very much. Could it be that Mr. Yuan has some hidden disease, or is he too ugly to see others?
The more Xie Ruitong thought about it, the more frightened she became, her face was buried in Mrs. Xie's arms, and she refused to come out no matter what.

Mrs. Xie hugged her daughter pitifully, and patted her on the back: "Don't be afraid, with your mother around, you won't be at a disadvantage."

She was thinking that she had to talk to Mr. Xie about this matter today.

I'm a lady, so I can't refuse Mrs. Yun, so let Mr. Xie figure out a way.

After hearing this, Xie Ruitong nodded slightly, hoping that her father would also support her.
