Your daughter's strategy

Xu Miaoyun shook her head, she was already angry in her heart, she deliberately ignored the protesting eyes from Cheng Ailian's side, and said to Tang Nannan: "Is the rose dew you asked for last time available?"

Tang Nannan said: "Speaking of which, you are looking far away. Who is your family, not to mention the rose dew, the moon in the sky was also picked for you, and you asked me for it."

Xu Miaoyun stared at her embarrassedly: "It's just a few bottles of rose dew, can you have less?"

Tang Nannan smiled and said: "I have already told my mother, she said that I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for two bottles of good ones, what are you going to do?"

Xu Miaoyun said her own thoughts: "Before the hibiscus flowers fall, dry the petals, grind them into powder, soak them in rose dew, stir them evenly, put them in a steamer, and finally wring out the ointment, add some sweet-scented osmanthus collected this year The pollen is light in color and fragrant, and it looks good on the face, and I will give it to you to try when it is ready."

Feng Zhenzhen listened by the side without interrupting, and laughed when she heard this: "Are you making food? Are you still steaming it in a basket?"

Xu Miaoyun looked confident, and said: "When the time comes, you can just make it and use it."

After spending a day at Yuyi Lake, when I returned home in the afternoon, Mrs. Xu was talking to Xie Zhilan. It turned out that Zuo, the wife of Prince Rui's mansion, was pregnant and was discussing what gift to give. Xie Zhilan smiled and said, "Auntie is so happy. It is said that since the birth of King An Zhuo, there has been no movement from the cousin, and now An Zhuo is 11 years old, but there is another one, so it can be seen that this child still depends on fate."

The matter of adding a baby is always something to be happy about. The old lady Xu said with a smile: "You go there yourself. You are also happy, and you will give birth to the eldest grandson of our Xu family as soon as possible." The heirs are very much looking forward to.

On the second day, Xie Zhilan prepared things and went to Prince Rui's Mansion with Xu Runan. She didn't come back until the afternoon. Xie Zhilan blushed and showed some small clothes to the old lady Xu: "My cousin gave it to me, let me put it on the bed. Under the mattress, it is said to be the clothes An Zhuo wore when he was a child."

The old lady Xu laughed from ear to ear, and heard Xie Zhilan say how lively Prince Rui's Mansion was.

Even Xu Jinghuan heard what Zhang Sa said.As the Queen Mother grew older, she liked to have children and grandchildren. She was worried when she saw that Prince Rui had only given birth to Dong Yu, and Dong Yu had only given birth to An Zhuo. Now she saw that Zuo was pregnant.He also breathed a sigh of relief, saying that whether it is a son or a daughter is excellent.

Zhang Sa was still a bit sad at the end: "Xu Zhi curiously asked if he was a younger brother or a younger sister, and Mother talked about making me reunite."

Zhang Sa loves his original wife Qi, although Qi gave birth to him a son, but Zhang Sa is only in his twenties after all, in his prime.It is impossible to guard the spiritual position of a son and dead wife for a lifetime, even Zhang Xuzhi needs a mother to take care of him carefully.No wonder Mrs. Zhang was anxious.

Xu Jinghuan always didn't know how to persuade and comfort others in their children's personal relationship. After thinking for a long time, he said: "It's fine to keep some things in your heart. To put it bluntly, you keep the festival for your dead wife. She doesn't know. Her family I don’t necessarily appreciate it, why bother to make others laugh at me. If it were me, I would marry another lady from a famous family. Give birth to four or five children and live a good life. It’s true that the provincial parents are worried about you.”

Zhang Sa was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

Two days later, Xu Jinghuan was worried that he had spoken too seriously, and Zhang Sa came over again, making up his mind and saying that he decided to continue, Xu Jinghuan said with a smile: "Once your words are released, I am afraid that the famous ladies in the capital will not be able to sleep at night." gone."

Zhang Sa smiled and said: "Don't tease me, I still want to ask you to help me find out, what kind of appearance and talent is second, the key is to be virtuous and gentle, and you can't be wronged by the former and the latter. I don't care about family status or anything."

Xu Jinghuan jokingly said: "I don't know about others, but I know my three younger sisters. The elder sister and the younger sister are both engaged. How about promising the second sister to you?"

Zhang Sa was stunned, and said for a long time: "Are you joking or serious? If it's serious, I really came to propose marriage."

Xu Jinghuan said with a smile: "Since I intend to be a matchmaker, I won't make jokes. When I go back and discuss it with my grandmother, I think she will be satisfied."

In fact, Mrs. Xu told Xu Jinghuan about Xu Jinghan's marriage a long time ago, and she also said that she wanted to find someone powerful, so that Xu Jinghan would not be wronged. The eldest son of the Duke of the State, he heard that Uncle Zhang's body was weak, so the title fell to Zhang Sa without accident.

Xu Jinghan marries him, among other things, at least she won't be tricked by people with dirty minds. Secondly, Zhang Sa is a bold person with a good character and is worthy of entrusting him for life. Those who compare with others will definitely be well protected if they live with him.

Xu Jinghan has a gentle temperament. If she marries someone with a sharp tongue, her husband and wife will definitely suffer from quarrels.

Xu Jinghuan remembered what Xu Peining asked Xu Miaoyun to tell that day, that Liu Gongquan's copybooks were all excuses!He understood what Xu Peining wanted to convey. Yang Minzhi was handsome and unrestrained, and it was normal for Xu Jing to have a secret heart, but it was also the Duke's mansion, the Yang family and the Zhang family were very different.

He asked Yan Yucheng to inquire about the members of the Yang family. From the 50-year-old Mr. Yang to Yang Minzhi's 15-year-old cousin, all of them are romantic and lustful. When it comes to doing business, one is more cowardly than the other, and there are even brothers, father and son who make fun of the same person, disregarding the principles of ethics, all kinds of deeds make Xu Jinghuan disgusted.

If Xu Jinghan married Yang Minzhi, with her appearance, wouldn't she be coveted by men from the Yang family?Even though Yang Minzhi's ability is outstanding, there are always times when he is negligent. Could it be that Xu Jinghan is being bullied?

Even though Xu Peining is shrewd, she is only a woman, she doesn't know the bad nature of men, and she doesn't pay much attention to sex. If Xu Jinghan marries into the Yang family, it is equivalent to entering a wolf's den, but he absolutely cannot agree.

In the evening, Xu Jinghuan and Mrs. Xu mentioned Zhang Sa, saying: "Even if he is the stepmother, Zhang Sa would not dare to wrong the second sister because of our Xu family's face."

Mrs. Xu was a little dissatisfied: "Zhang Sa is a good son-in-law. But he is the step-wife, so I feel wronged. However, if it wasn't for the step-wife, I'm afraid it wouldn't be our family's turn. Let me think about it."

The news quickly spread to Xu Jinghan's ears, she went to Xu Peining, her face turned pale: "Second brother must know, that's why he told me to Zhang Sa. He didn't like Yang Minzhi!"

Xu Peining comforted her: "This is also expected. I asked Miaoyun to talk about asking for copybooks. The second brother must have understood. It's just that he promised you to Zhang Sa. It's a bit strange. I'll go ask , see if there is any misunderstanding." He said and went to Xu Jinghuan's study.

Xu Jinghuan was waiting for her.Seeing her coming, I gave her the copybook of Liu Gongquan I found: "Second sister wants to practice Liu Gongquan's calligraphy, so I am afraid that I can't find a good copybook? I have to go to Yang Minzhi to ask for it? I borrowed it from Bo Rang. Second sister likes it, so give it to her as a gift and let her practice calligraphy well."

Xu Peining felt helpless: "Second brother, you know that's not what I meant."

Xu Jinghuan looked at her coldly, making Xu Peining feel uncomfortable.For the first time, she showed a bit of embarrassment: "Jing Han likes Yang Minzhi, what can I do? Should I just let her suffer from lovesickness?"

Xu Jinghuan said: "Yang Minzhi is not a good match, let her rest as soon as possible."

Xu Peining was very dissatisfied: "Second brother, you are too biased. If Miaoyun liked Yang Minzhi, would you still say this? I'm afraid he would have given Yang Minzhi repeated orders to treat Miaoyun well."

Xu Jinghuan froze, and Xu Peining felt a little regretful when he said the words.He said apologetically, "Second Brother, I didn't mean that."

Xu Jinghuan said: "Miaoyun won't like Yang Minzhi like that. I'm wondering, what's so good about Yang Minzhi?"

Xu Peining lowered her head and felt a little disappointed: "Ask what love is in the world, and if you like it, you like it. Who can tell why? Not everyone is as lucky as Miaoyun. If everyone can understand, how can there be so many idiotic men and women?"

Xu Jinghuan didn't make a sound, Xu Peining sighed: "Second brother, just take it as me begging you, Jinghan usually doesn't have any ideas, but this time she is determined, and she is a little crazy when practicing calligraphy every day, so you should pamper her Once, to find out what Yang Minzhi meant, didn't you also say that you would help Yang Minzhi become the Duke of Yun, when the time comes, won't Jinghan also follow the hardships?"

Xu Jinghuan was silent for a while and said: "I am only responsible for spreading the word. If Yang Minzhi didn't mean it, then just pretend it didn't matter. In fact, Zhang Sa is really good."

Xu Peining said: "Second brother, don't worry, if it doesn't work out, I won't let Jing Han do nonsense."

She excitedly ran to tell Xu Jinghan the good news, and Xu Jinghuan went to Yang's house to find Yang Minzhi.

I met Yang Minxing at the gate of Duke Yunguo's mansion, he was very rare for Xu Jinghuan's arrival, and he graciously led him in, Xu Jinghuan saw that his eyelids were blue and his figure was thin, he knew that he was overindulgent, and he wrinkled quietly Frowning, it wasn't long before Yang Minzhi greeted him, and was also very surprised at Xu Jinghuan's arrival.

The two sat down in the study, and Xu Jinghuan said: "Thinking about it, you also know about Zhang Sa's reunion. He asked me to help pay attention. I don't know anyone. Grandma said that my second sister and Zhang Sa are very suitable. She is a concubine, but she was raised under the name of her aunt since she was a child. I am afraid that the Zhang family will dislike her. I want to ask you to be an intermediary. If you don’t dislike her, I dare not say anything else. My second sister has the most gentle and virtuous temperament. , if you dislike it, then treat it as if you don’t have this fate.”

Seeing that Xu Jinghuan came to the door rashly, Yang Minzhi thought it was some important matter. He didn't expect to ask him to be a matchmaker, but he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will go to Zhang's house tomorrow to find out."

Xu Jinghuan saw that his expression was calm and frank, and he gave him two meaningful glances before leaving.

After Xu Jinghuan left, the more Yang Minzhi thought about it, the more wrong he became. Although he had a good relationship with Xu Jinghuan, it was because he was afraid that he would be too conspicuous if he directly communicated with the king of Ancheng County, so he asked Xu Jinghuan to spread the word among them. The king of the county is more suitable than him, not only has a close relationship with the Xu family, but also has a close relationship with Zhang Sa, why do you suddenly want him to be a matchmaker?

Yang Minzhi couldn't figure it out, and when he went to greet Aunt Cao at night, he said with a smile, "It's the first time I've done such a thing, my mother taught me how to say it, in case Zhang Sa doesn't like me , It’s not my fault to let the wind out again.”

Aunt Cao sighed, and said: "Jing Han is a good girl, but unfortunately she was not born to my wife, otherwise there is no way I can make a sequel."

Yang Minzhi joked: "Mother likes this Second Miss Xu."

Aunt Cao said: "That's right, she looks like a painting. What's rare is that she has a gentle personality and a kind voice. She even copied two Buddhist scriptures for me a while ago, with Liu Gongquan's calligraphy in one hand, which is comparable to yours. The clothes are much better, and they made me a suit of clothes during the Chinese New Year, and the sewing is good, so I thought at the time, if only my future daughter-in-law could be so virtuous."

Yang Minzhi smiled.He said: "The eldest daughter of the Xu family promised to the eldest grandson of Mr. Ge, and the third girl promised to the king of Ancheng County. The second girl married into the prince's mansion, and she is also a scholarly family. It's our turn."

Aunt Cao thought about her identity, felt that she had dragged her son down, and felt a little sad.Yang Minzhi was secretly annoyed, and quickly diverted his words.

Yang Minzhi really went to Zhang's house to find out the news, Zhang Sa murmured in his heart, didn't Xu Jinghuan say it, why did Yang Minzhi say it again?Scholars love to pay attention to these red tapes.

In fact, Zhang Sa had already asked his mother, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang hesitated when she heard that she was a concubine.But when I thought of the three sisters of the Xu family I saw when I entered the palace on the Lantern Festival, I was very moved.He agreed again, and Yang Minzhi went to Xu's house to tell Xu Jinghuan again when he got the letter of approval. Xu Jinghuan was not very happy when he heard it, but sighed and said, "Thank you for making a trip."

It made Yang Minzhi puzzled.

Zhang Sa still couldn't believe it, so he came to Xu Jinghuan to ask if he was serious. Xu Jinghuan said: "Grandmother agreed. I haven't asked what my second sister means, but to be honest. If this marriage is completed, You have become my brother-in-law, Bo Rang's brother-in-law, but you are Bo Rang's uncle, how do you count this seniority?"

Zhang Sa thought about it too, and felt a little frustrated: "I forgot this point, go back and ask my mother, if you don't care about this, let's talk about marriage."

When Zhang Sa went back and said, Mrs. Zhang also said: "I really forgot. If this is the case, no matter how good this marriage is, we will not be able to accept it. From now on, we will often enter the palace. The rules in the palace are strict. You said it was your name." Borang's nephew or does he call you brother-in-law? It's not a joke."

Zhang Sa went back to Xu Jinghuan, Xu Jinghuan smiled and said: "Since this is the case, there is no fate. Don't worry, I have already told my grandmother that I will tell you a famous lady."

Zhang Sa said with a smile: "I can't rush this matter, but my mother, once she heard that I was willing to continue, she wished I could get married tomorrow. Thinking about it, it was my unfilial piety to worry about her all these years."

Xu Jinghuan told Mrs. Xu that she was inferior in seniority, and that the marriage could not be concluded, so the old lady Xu would just let it go. Xu Jinghan, who was sitting next to her, did not dare to look at Xu Jinghuan at all, and only secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "If we really get married, and Zhang Sa's elder brother calls his elder brother and second elder brother, wouldn't his elder brother be very prestigious?"

Xie Zhilan said with a smile: "Everyone talks about grandpa in the cradle, grandson on crutches, it's hard to tell at this age and seniority."

Xu Miaoyun rolled her eyes, and when she got out, she pulled Xu Jinghuan and said, "My brother said that he is inferior in seniority. Others believe me, but I don't believe it. My sister-in-law is on the same level as brother Zhang Sa. Why can my sister-in-law marry, but brother Zhang Sa can't?" Woolen cloth?"

Xu Jinghuan smiled and said: "You are smart, this seniority is just an excuse to make both families fall down."

But Xu Miaoyun asked the bottom line: "Did the Zhang family not take a fancy to the second sister, or did the second sister not take a fancy to the Zhang family?"

Xu Jinghuan sighed, she was still cute as the silly Yun'er in the past, but now Yun'er is not easy to be fooled, so she said: "No matter how good the Zhang family is, Zhang Sa still wants to make a sequel, and Jing Han won't be able to make a sequel for someone, right?"

Xu Miaoyun nodded, she didn't know the inside story, and she ran to comfort Xu Jinghan: "There is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world, second sister don't have to worry, you can always find a good one."

But Xu Jinghan couldn't laugh, she was very sad, Yang Minzhi heard that she was going to marry Zhang Sa, but there was nothing strange about it, which showed that she had no feelings for her, and her bitter love became a joke instead.

Xu Peining persuaded Xu Miaoyun who was still going on, and said: "Grandmother said to stay in Jinghan for one more year, don't worry, just choose slowly."

Xu Miaoyun said: "If the second sister doesn't get married, shouldn't I also be unable to get married?"

Xu Peining smiled and said, "Are you still looking forward to getting married?"

Xu Miaoyun didn't hide it in front of her two sisters, but smiled shyly: "Of course I'm looking forward to it, because I don't know what it's like to be married, and I think it's very novel."

Xu Peining deliberately teased her: "It's hard work after getting married. You can't just eat and play as you like at home. You have to take care of the housework, serve your mother-in-law, and ask her to agree with you when you go out. If your mother-in-law doesn't agree You can’t go, but you still have to serve your husband, take care of his food, clothing, shelter, and even wash his feet!”

Xu Miaoyun stammered: "Wash...wash his feet? I wouldn't wash his feet for him."

Xu Peining smiled secretly, but pretended to be serious, and said, "Why not? You see, sister-in-law is respectful to elder brother, and puts elder brother first in everything. Serves him with meals, serves tea for him, and even walks. Walk behind him, or you will be disrespectful to your husband."

Xu Miaoyun was already stunned, and her heart was turned upside down. She thought that the life after marriage was just like what Nanny Xu described. She would set the menu for the day when she got up in the morning, drink tea, take care of things, dress up and go to various events. kind of banquet...

Xu Peining's words instantly overturned her cognition, she thought for a while, and said seriously: "I won't wash his feet, I can be respectful to him, but I don't care about serving people. I can't do it, it's not like I don't have girls."

Xu Peining smiled: "Look, this is amazing."

Xu Jinghan was listening beside her, already lost in her soul. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
