pampering wife

Chapter 86

The next day after eating in Liufangtang, Mrs. Gu took Qingmei's hand and walked into the inner room, pushed away the crowd, and said with a smile: "I went to Wu'anhou's residence a while ago, what do you think of General Chu?"

"The people in the Marquis of Wu'an are naturally good."

Mrs. Gu then smiled and said: "Master Hou and his wife like you very much. I saw yesterday that the general treats you very well. Qingmei, Aunt always wants to find you someone who can treat you well and keep you safe." People, the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is the most appropriate now. Both Lord Hou and Mrs. Chu have the same intention. Although General Chu has a wife, he has never taken a concubine. He will definitely treat you well in the future. Qingmei, what do you think? "

Mrs. Gu had already mentioned the situation in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion before, so Qingmei's understanding of this marriage is also very clear——

There is only one son, Chu Xiuming, who is 26 years old in Wu'an Hou's mansion. He married a wife before, but unfortunately, the woman's life is as thin as paper, leaving behind a three-year-old son who died of illness.According to this situation, Chu Xiuming took this son to marry and fill in the house, and it was a little embarrassing when he chose the woman's family background.Even so, he is the eldest son of the Hou family and a rookie in the battlefield, if he really married Qingmei, then Qingmei must have climbed hundreds of feet.

It seems that it is indeed a good marriage, the husband is of great character and has a bright future, there is no trouble of concubine's room, and the in-laws are willing to treat her kindly, the family is harmonious and rich, no matter how you look at it, it is a pie from the sky.But whether the pie is to your taste is another matter.

Although Qingmei had been mentally prepared, she still felt a little sudden when Madam Gu said it so bluntly.She bit her lip and pondered for a moment, finally raised her head and said solemnly: "Auntie's painstaking arrangements for Qingmei to understand. But the friendship between Lord Hou and father is one thing, and my marriage is another. Qingmei doesn't want to confuse them .”

"You child." Mrs. Gu laughed, "Leaving aside the friendship between Master Hou and General Qu, just say that you are lucky to be able to marry into a family like the Hou Mansion. You should think about it carefully."

Qingmei did not hesitate, looked directly at Mrs. Gu, and said firmly: "Thank you for the arrangement, Auntie, but Qingmei is not willing to do this marriage."

Her resolute attitude stunned Mrs. Gu for a moment. She and Gu Shangshu took the risk to let Qingmei go to Beijing, and then raise her as the second lady in the mansion. Isn't it just for this marriage?Originally thought that no one could refuse such a proper marriage, who knew Qingmei would have such an attitude?She was a little hesitant, and persuaded: "Master Hou and his wife love you, and General Chu has been with you since childhood, why don't you want to?"

Qingmei just twisted her belt, but didn't explain the reason.

Mrs. Gu was a little annoyed, and said: "Think about it carefully. I have always cared about your marriage. I have spent so much time choosing this marriage. This marriage is the most appropriate. You are still a child at the moment. The benefits of this marriage are You'll understand when you're older."

"Think about it for a few more years, and I will also have the same thoughts." Qingmei decided to confront her.

Mrs. Gu was obviously taken aback, she didn't expect her to be so stubborn, and her tone was unavoidably impatient: "This marriage is beneficial and harmless, you have to think about it carefully before proceeding."

"I've thought about it for a long time, and it's really harmless. It's the same for me, and it's the same for my aunt." Qingmei sat up straight, staring at Mrs. Gu with burning eyes, "but if I don't want to, will my aunt force me Marry into the Hou's mansion?"

Madam Gu's expression changed instantly, and Qingmei secretly laughed inwardly.She stood up and bowed to Mrs. Gu, and said slowly: "At the beginning when my aunt wanted me to go to Beijing, my nanny and I came here because we wanted to settle the previous marriage contract. Now that this matter is over, my wedding aunt doesn't have to Don't worry about it anymore." She paused, then smiled, "Anyway, my aunt hasn't bothered about other things for so many years."

With such a straightforward Daoming, Mrs. Gu's face turned green and pale in an instant.She stared at Qingmei for a long time before she opened her mouth and said, "You've always minded this, haven't you?"

"Don't worry about it. If my aunt is willing to take care of me, it's for the sake of my mother's friendship. It's only natural that my aunt doesn't want to take care of me, the daughter of a criminal minister. But since I have survived with my nanny for so many years, I think, when it comes to marriage, my aunt can be the same as before, and don't have to interfere anymore."

Mrs. Gu couldn't help but clenched a Supa in her hand, and laughed dryly, "Isn't it because of this marriage that you stayed in the mansion? Don't you want the power and wealth of Wu'anhou Mansion? The tavern is not for the purpose of getting closer to those noble ladies, now that such a good thing is in front of us, why bother to refuse it."
