Chapter 91 Deserving it
In order to confirm her guess, Ying Maner took the booklet from the old lady's hand and read it carefully, regardless of her shame.

The more you looked down, the uglier the expression on his face, biting his lip, his face was full of suffocation.

Others looked at her and thought she was shy.

Qu Fulan was also watching from the side.

To be honest, the men registered in the booklet, regardless of their appearance, but their family conditions and their own conditions, are very suitable for Ying Maner.

In fact, no matter which one Ying Maner chooses, it is considered a high priority.

After all, she has nothing in her family. She is poor and white. These men at least have some property in their family.

It's just that the family who was admitted as a scholar is a little poor, but they can't stand the prospect. The person selected by Pei Shizi certainly has potential, and speaking of it, a scholar is better than a businessman and has face.

For ordinary people, such conditions are also one in a million.

But for Maner, such conditions are like a bolt from the blue.

If she only wanted to find someone like this, why would she travel thousands of miles to seek refuge in Pei's mansion?

With such a big backer in the Pei family, is it possible that they can't find a good condition for her?
In just a short time, Ying Maner's thoughts spread like vines.

"Do you think it's appropriate?" The old lady asked with a smile.

Ying Maner bit her lip, unable to speak.

The old lady just thought she was shy, and pointed to one of them and said, "It's better for us to look at this one. He is a scholar. The husband said that he has a very good chance of being admitted to Juren, and then you will be able to enjoy the blessings. It's just that the family's conditions are worse now. Both parents work in the fields, but they are easy to get along with, and they are usually kind to others. Xiucai has an older brother who married a wife. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also very good. The family is harmonious, which is something no one can ask for What a blessing to come."

"There is also this one. His father is Si Le of Taichang Temple. Judging from his family background, he is better than the previous one. I just heard that his mother is stricter, but it is also a duty of a daughter-in-law to respect her in-laws. Learn the rules well. If I think about it, my mother-in-law won't make things difficult on purpose."

Ying Man'er's parents barely make a living by setting up stalls, and there is an older brother and a younger brother in the family, both of whom do hard work for others.

It can be described as a family without roots.

Whether it is marrying a man who is a scholar, or marrying the father of the family who is an official, even if it is only a ninth-rank official position, that is what many people dream of.

So when it came to Ying Man'er's marriage, the old lady took care of her. She considered all aspects and chose the most suitable one. She didn't just find one and dismiss it.

Ying Maner almost bit her lips, and suddenly got up and knelt down to the old lady, "Old lady, Maner doesn't want to get married yet, please ask the old lady to stay for two years, let me honor the old lady, otherwise I will marry you." If you kill someone, you will not live in peace!"

The old lady was taken aback by her sudden movement, and immediately asked Yue Yuan to step forward to help her.

"You child, if you have something to say, why are you doing such a big gift? I didn't say that you would marry off right away. Now that you come to me, I can only show you. It's up to your parents to decide what will happen in the end." , It’s just that the conditions are good, if you don’t settle them in advance, it will be too late if you wait until you are older.” The old lady said earnestly.

Ying Man'er still insisted on staying for another two years, and was not in a hurry to get engaged.

The old lady was very puzzled, "I don't lack people to serve me, it's enough for you to have a filial heart in your heart, not to mention that it's just an engagement now, if you are not satisfied with these people, you can find them again, why are you so persistent? ?”

Ying Man'er thought to herself, if she got married, what hope would she have in the future?
But she said, "The old lady loves you so much, Man'er is very grateful, but now that Maner has no intention of marrying, please let the old lady do it!"

The old lady was full of enthusiasm, as if being poured down by a basin of water, she waved her hand, "You don't want to talk about marriage, can I still force you? It's just that Ami happens to be free now, so I have the time to help you collect information. He's busy, so he doesn't have the time to take care of these things, and it will be difficult when you get old and haven't found a suitable one, can you think about it clearly?"

Ying Maner insisted, "Maner just wants to serve the old lady for two more years."

The old lady lost her interest, "I'm tired, you can go back."

Ying Man'er gave the old lady a blessing and withdrew.

On the way, Xiaohu hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

Now she is only sent by the old lady to serve the cousin temporarily, and does not belong to the maid of the cousin. Even if the cousin gets married in the future, the old lady will ask her if she is willing to go with her. If she says no, the old lady will definitely not will force her.

Xiaohu naturally didn't want to be with the cousin girl, if she was a law-abiding person, she would be willing to serve her, but this cousin girl is too high-minded, it is not a good thing to follow such a master.

It's just that she came here to seek refuge with her relatives, and the old lady will definitely give a certain dowry when the time comes. If the cousin wants someone to serve her, she can naturally use the money from the dowry to buy a maid.

So for Xiaohu's matter with the cousin, she just does her duty, no matter how much she has, she can't take care of it, and the cousin will not listen to people's persuasion easily.

But Xiaohu still can't figure it out, isn't the cousin girl coming to seek refuge in Pei's mansion just to find a good marriage?The ones that the old lady found for her now are also very good.

Why does the cousin girl disagree?If you rejected the old lady so flatly, aren't you afraid of offending the old lady, and don't care about her marriage in the future?

What Xiaohu can think of, Ying Maner can't think of?
But she has no choice, if she doesn't refuse, she will get engaged, what hope is there in the future?
Now that things are going on, if it can be delayed for a while, maybe one day her good fortune will come.

When Pei Shizi went to pay his respects to the old lady at night, the old lady talked about Ying Man'er.

"I'm afraid it's because she has good eyesight and doesn't like what we showed her." The old lady sighed.

Pei Ji'an didn't care about such things in the first place, and she wasn't his own sister, so what does it matter to him whether she wants to marry or not?As long as this kind of thing affected the old lady's mood, he had to take care of it.

After thinking about it, he said, "Speaking of which, she has been in Pei's residence for a long time, and she should have refused because she was homesick. How about this, I will send her back tomorrow. Her family is responsible."

Parents ordered the matchmaker to say it was justified, and the old lady naturally knew this truth, but——

"Since she came to rely on us, she naturally wants to rely on us to find a good marriage. Isn't it inappropriate to send her back now?"

Pei Ji'an lifted her robe and sat down, "What's wrong? She's not satisfied with what we found for her, so she should go home and let her family make decisions. Besides, she is still in her prime and has never been engaged. Others will think that we have delayed her good marriage, not to mention, if she is so ambitious and makes a mistake at 01:30 before and after, it will affect the reputation of our Pei family, which will be bad."

When the old lady heard this, her expression became serious.

That's right, what I fear most are those who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth's depths.

The old lady lived to this age, how little did she see the privacy in the back house?It's just that as you get older, you gradually don't care about things, and you are negligent.
