Chapter 588 Marriage
Mrs. Cui was overwhelmed with surprise, she turned her head to look at Xie Zhiwei, "My Mei Mei will take care of my younger brothers and sisters? That's great. I'm relieved to marry into my in-law's house. I'm getting old, and there's nothing to worry about at home. For so many years, you are the only one who is not at ease."
How could Xie Zhiwei not know, she rubbed her face on the old lady's shoulder, "Grandma, I have grown up, I don't need the elders to worry about it."
"Hahaha, good!" Mrs. Cui was very bold, she said to Xie Tiao, "I came here this time because Meimei's third cousin Tingwei sent me here, and only then did I see your fourth sister. Seeing that I have fate with my Cui family, I want to marry you again."
When Xie Zhiying heard this, her heart was beating so fast that she was really embarrassed, she quietly backed away, and exited the door, when she heard the old lady say, "I'll call Ting Wei in now, if the old lady sees If you win, let the two children look at each other, how about it?"
The old man was overjoyed, but he still reminded, "Old lady, my fourth sister is a concubine from the second wife."
The old lady waved her hand, "Ting Wei is also a concubine, since I have this in mind, why don't I ask about it?"
"That's right, the old lady has always been considerate in her work, but I'm worrying too much."
After a while, Cui Tingwei was brought in, and with him, Cui Tingzhan also met the elders of the Xie family.
Xie Tiao was very satisfied when he saw that Cui Tingwei was born with a good-looking talent, especially his clear eyebrows and sharp eyes, but also showed a kind of imperceptible compassion. It is the experience of practicing medicine for many years, so he was very satisfied, touched the beard under his jaw, and said, "Old man Since my wife has taken a fancy to my unbelievable fourth granddaughter, she is also lucky to be Cui's wife."
Xie Zhiying hid behind the door and looked towards Cui Tingwei. Cui Tingwei felt something and looked over. The eyes of the two met in mid-air. The moment they looked at each other, time seemed to stand still.
Xie Zhiying's heart has never been so flustered. She turned around and walked away. When she crossed the threshold of the back hall, she almost fell.
The age difference between the sisters of the Xie family is not that big, but after a few months, Xie Zhiying has also turned ten years old and has reached the age of marriage proposal. Seeing that all the sisters have a good home, she secretly worried.
It is impossible to count on the aunt. The aunt is now in danger of herself, and her mother is an aunt. Although she is in charge of the affairs of the yard temporarily, she is still unworthy.
She had also counted on her aunt, but she was the aunt next door. After the elder sister left the cabinet, she was free, so how could she go around the yard of the aunt and remind her to arrange a good marriage for her?
Xie Zhiying returned to the Fuhe Courtyard with one foot high and one foot low. When she arrived at the East Courtyard where her mother lived, she saw Aunt Yu who was sitting under the lamp making clothes for her, and called out "Auntie!"
When Aunt Yu looked up and saw her daughter, she couldn't help being startled, she hurriedly put down her work, and asked, "Why are you here at this time? But what happened?"
Just before someone came to invite my daughter, it was said that the old lady of the Cui family had arrived. At this time, shouldn't the two families meet and talk in the main hall? Why did the daughter come back alone?
Aunt Yu didn't dare to think, she was trembling all over.
Xie Zhiying rushed over, buried her face in Aunt Yu's arms, and cried, "Auntie, the old lady made an engagement for me."
It's not that she hasn't been too anxious about her daughter's marriage. The four sisters in the family and the other three have good marriages. If my sister doesn't object, she definitely won't be able to run away.
The third sister is from the Qian family, and she is destined for the Yuan family. It would be the best to get married, unless the third sister has been domineering all day long, and the Yuan family dares to take her seriously ?
Only her own daughter is a concubine. She was so anxious that she couldn't sleep several times at night, and several times the master stayed in her room for the night. , Da Furen will naturally make a fuss.
That's what I said, the key is the aunt in the next room, can you treat the fourth sister's affairs as if your daughter's?
Aunt Yu was trembling with fright. She had been worrying for so long. Could it be that this marriage pushed her daughter into the pit of fire?
"Yes, whose family is it?" Aunt Yu was so anxious that she was about to cry. If not, how could her daughter cry like this?
"It's very good. It's the third young master of the Cui family. The one who studied medicine with the uncle of the Cui family is the cousin of the eldest sister."
Back then, when the eldest sister went to Juzhou to fight the epidemic, she impersonated the third young master of the Cui family. Thinking of this, Xie Zhiying couldn't help crying. What if the third young master blamed the eldest sister?
Xie Zhiying hurriedly sat up, wiped away her tears, and was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. Bai Ling came over and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the fourth lady, congratulations to the fourth lady, the eldest lady asked the fourth lady to go ahead, the girls of the Cui family Come here, ask the girl to come and accompany you."
Aunt Yu was so happy that she couldn't find the north. She ordered the women to bring water to clean Xie Zhiying's face, and asked Bai Ling, how is the third young master of the Cui family?
Bai Ling smiled, "It's worse than our eldest son-in-law, but he was born really well. Auntie thinks about it. The Cui family is also a century-old family. Which of the young masters in the family is not good-looking? Auntie is blessed!"
Aunt Yu hurriedly asked someone to reward Bailing with a purse, which contained about a few coins. How could Bailing be someone who has never seen the world? She put it away, thanked her earnestly, and then led Xie Zhiying away.
In the East Courtyard, Aunt Yu no longer had the mind to make clothes. She thought about how much money she had accumulated over the years. Quite a lot, at least three to fifty thousand taels, but isn't the more dowry the better for a woman?
Thinking of the big girl's dowry, Aunt Yu felt very sad, and finally had to sit down decadently, blaming herself endlessly.
Nanny Shi who served her has been with her for many years, how can she not guess her mind, and said aside, "Auntie doesn't need to compare with big girls, how many of the noble girls in the capital are as big as big girls?" The princesses in the palace are pretty much the same, but if I ask the servants to tell me, the fourth girl will be supported by the eldest girl in the future, how can she be worse than others?"
Aunt Yu thought about it, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, she became happy again, "It's really thanks to the eldest lady. Tell me, should I make another pair of shoes for the eldest lady? Put the two pearls that the old master gave me on the shoes?"
"My servant heard that the eldest girl hides gems in boxes one by one. The dowry is full of real gold and silver. Presumably the eldest girl doesn't care whether the aunt gives the pearls. If the pearls are left by the auntie to the fourth girl, the eldest girl Maybe a little more fun."
Today's update!
Dear friends, are you unwilling to vote for me? It's really sad, I just fell off the list, and I can only rely on everyone to make it to the list!
