Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 7 The Zhou Family Wants to Marry Jiang Xian
The reception hall of the Jiangping Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Hou sat at the head, proud of herself.

Mrs. Zhou sat at the bottom, secretly jealous.

If her husband hadn't been furious when he heard the news that she had terminated the engagement without authorization, and ordered her to go to the Hou's mansion to make amends, she wouldn't have made this trip.

Thinking that her son is also outstanding in everything, why does she insist on dragging the adopted daughter of the Hou Mansion? !
She really doesn't understand her husband's mind.

Zhou Qian, who was accompanying him, thought the same way.

If you ask him to meet Jiang Sheng at any chance, that girl will definitely give up on her, so why should she go to Hou's mansion by herself again?
"Ma'am, the girl is here."

Jiang Sheng is wearing an ordinary goose-yellow pipa lapel with a brocade edge and a two-color pleated skirt today. Her hair is half tied up in a bun, and the complicated hairpin decorations have been removed, making her look more light and delicate.

She walked quickly to Madam Hou's side, but the beads on the skirt did not shake too much: "Mother, you are looking for me."

Mrs. Hou introduced generously: "This is Mrs. Zhou's family, and this is Mrs. Zhou's son."

In fact, everyone recognizes her, but she is deliberately pretending to be unfamiliar.

Jiang Sheng shouted: "Mrs. Zhou, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Gan was amazed by today's Jiang Sheng. She obviously has the same face, but today's gestures seem more natural.

Most of the grievances about being called to the Hou Mansion by his parents to make an apology have dissipated, and Zhou Gan put on a smile that he thought was perfect: "Sister Sheng."

One of Zhou Gan's aunts married into the Li family, and the Li family's prostitute married Mrs. Hou's nephew, so this "sister" can barely be counted.

But Mrs. Hou doesn't recognize this: "Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Ling talk about it when they have something to say, and there is no need to associate with relatives."

Mrs. Zhou's expression was ugly, but she still held the corners of her mouth: "Isn't it the marriage between Sheng Sheng and my worthless son?"

The corner of Madam Hou's lips hooked, and she knew it.

As the saying goes, marrying a girl with her head up and marrying a daughter-in-law with her head down, Mrs. Zhou resisted the humiliation in her heart: "Shengsheng is beautiful and sensible. What happened a few days ago is really something we should not have done."

Mrs. Zhou said so, but she thought to herself——

When Jiang Sheng gets married, let's see how she grinds Jiang Sheng!

Anyway, as a mother-in-law and an elder, shouldn't she set rules for the new daughter-in-law!
Mrs. Zhou thought about this, and smiled: "I hope you don't look into the past, bear the pain and give up your love, and marry Shengsheng to the Zhou family."

The Zhou family really came here today with sincerity, and beside them was a matchmaker wearing red wide sleeves carrying a few big red wooden boxes.

The matchmaker had heard the whole story earlier, and at this moment echoed: "How can there be no friction in getting along? The Zhou family and the Hou family are family friends, Mr. Zhou is a good-looking talent, and he grew up with Ling Qianjin and his childhood sweetheart since childhood. He knows everything. A more suitable candidate?"

Mrs. Hou was about to talk about who and who were childhood sweethearts, but she was scruples about Jiang Sheng, so she restrained her temper.

"Shengsheng, what do you think?"

As soon as Zhou Gan heard Mrs. Hou ask Jiang Sheng, he felt that there was some drama, so he smiled smugly, and waited for Jiang Sheng to nod.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Sheng said: "I don't think so."

Jiang Sheng openly revealed his shortcomings: "It was not me who made the marriage contract with Mr. Zhou."

"Although I am only an adopted daughter of the Hou family, I was also brought up in the hands of my father and mother. I just want to choose a clean and simple family, and I hope the Zhou family can find another one for her."

Zhou Gan kept a straight face, thinking that Jiang Sheng was playing hard to get, "Jiang Sheng, don't go too far."

As soon as the matchmaker heard Zhou Gan's words and saw Mrs. Hou's face, she knew something bad was going to happen.

Young master, they came to propose marriage, how could they marry their daughter with such a show of face.

But Zhou Gan has no scruples: "Don't think I have to be you, is the marriage contract?"

Zhou Gan turned to Mrs. Hou: "Which girl who made a marriage contract with our family back then still hopes that Madam will fulfill her promise."

Mrs. Hou's complexion darkened, did she really think that their girl is a Chinese cabbage, and the Zhou family can choose it at will?
She was about to speak, but Jiang Sheng grabbed her sleeve.

Madam Hou turned her head to look at Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng asked with a smile: "Young Master Zhou, are you referring to my sister Jiang Xian?"

Jiang Sheng snapped his fingers: "First of all, the marriage contract between our two families has been dissolved, and the token has been returned, and secondly, you want to marry my sister——

"My sister doesn't necessarily agree."

Zhou Gan looked contemptuously.

He felt that Jiang Xian came from the countryside after all, and grew up in that kind of place, so what if he is a real daughter of the Marquis Mansion?He doesn't know how to manage the house, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's already a gift that he is willing to marry her.

But he doesn't want to marry Jiang Xian, Jiang Xian doesn't know anything about these things, how can he take care of the inner house for him in the future?

Zhou Gan just wanted to give Jiang Sheng a sense of crisis.

He doesn't have to be Jiang Sheng either!
Zhou Gan sneered: "You don't dare, do you? Jiang Sheng, if you want to get hard, you have to have a degree."

"If you change your mind and nod your agreement now, I'm still willing to marry you."

Zhou Gan's words were not pleasant, and Mrs. Hou wanted to drive him away immediately, but Jiang Sheng pressed her down.

Jiang Sheng's heart skipped a beat.

Who gave you the confidence to think that the heroine will fall in love with you?

She couldn't wait to watch the heroine slap Zhou Gan in the face.

Jiang Sheng smiled and said to Mrs. Hou: "In this case, why doesn't mother invite elder sister?"

Mrs. Hou doesn't want to invite.

If Jiang Xian really agrees to marry Zhou Qian, wouldn't it be a shame for her?What's more, Jiang Xian is unrestrained and uneducated, she doesn't want to see Jiang Xian at all.

But under Jiang Sheng's smile, Mrs. Hou called the maid to find Jiang Xian.

Zhou Qian threatened: "Jiang Sheng, you can think clearly, you were just a peasant girl, but you were lucky enough to be carried to the Hou's mansion to fly on a branch and become a phoenix. Now that I can marry you, you should be grateful to Dade. What more Joe? Later If your sister really agrees, don't blame me."

If you say you're out of your mind this week, I don't know how the original owner would like such a person.

Sure enough, Mrs. Hou couldn't help it anymore: "Who said our Shengsheng is a peasant girl?"

"Mrs. Zhou, is this how you discipline your son?"

Mrs. Zhou picked up the tea cup and took a sip unhurriedly.

Her son was right, Jiang Sheng was a peasant girl, her son could marry Jiang Sheng for the sake of the old man.

After putting down the tea, Mrs. Zhou reprimanded slightly: "Go back, don't be rude."

Zhou Gan retreated to Mrs. Zhou's side, his eyes still dissatisfied.

Mrs. Hou winked at Banzhan, but before Banzhan had time to say anything, the maid who went to call Jiang Xian had already returned.

Jiang Xian didn't come together.

Jiang Sheng was a little disappointed but felt that it was reasonable, after all, this kind of little bastard really didn't seem to be taken seriously by the heroine.

But Mrs. Hou didn't know what Jiang Xian's temperament was, so she stared at the maidservant intently at the moment: "What did she say?"

The maid saluted: "Miss Xian said that this marriage contract can be handled by Madam as she pleases, anyway, don't give it to her."

the implication is obvious
——I despise your family.

Mrs. Hou laughed loudly, and then she felt that Jiang Xian gave her a face: "Did you hear that? None of my two daughters like your family, why don't you take your things and walk away smoothly?"

Madam Hou raised her eyebrows and pointed at the girl to throw out the boxes of betrothal gifts.

"Qiao Guishuang, don't go too far!"

Madam Zhou lost face and called Madam Hou by her boudoir name to scold her.

Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Gan walked away. Before leaving, Zhou Qian turned around and said to Jiang Sheng, "Don't regret it! With your current status, which family member will marry you except me?"

Mrs. Hou poohed: "Our Shengsheng family is both talented and beautiful. If we didn't have a marriage contract with you, the person who proposes marriage would have already stepped through the threshold."

The half standing beside her covered her lips and smiled.

The matchmaker rushed to Zhou's family, but she hadn't received her money yet.

If you ask her, with the Zhou family's attitude, she would not be willing to marry her daughter off.
