After my death, my ex-husband ruled the world

Chapter 7 Marriage
Yu Lian regarded it as an ordinary banquet, and responded: "Okay."

She looked indifferent, Rushuang moved her lips to say something, but finally chose to keep her mouth shut.

Winter twilight comes early.

Half a red sun hangs on the bare tree branches, and the night falls slowly~
For dinner, besides Rushuang, there were other maids who came with food boxes and placed dishes in the hall.

Steamed mutton, fried pipa shrimp, beggar's chicken, drunken pork ribs, yam soup.

Except for the beggar's chicken, all other dishes were steaming.

This is?Before Yu Lian could ask, before Zhang Qianlan arrived, her voice came first: "Lian'er, mother will have dinner with you."

The voice fell, and she walked in after a few footsteps.

The woman is wearing an emerald-green twig-wrapped flower-carved silk gown, red gold inlaid pearl hairpins on her neat temple hair, a red gold inlaid jewelry necklace on her neck, and a silver cloisonné enamel hand stove with hundreds of flowers in her hand to keep warm.

There is a small charcoal stove in the house. The woman entered the house, put down the small stove in her hand, looked at her daughter and smiled slightly: "You have just recovered from the cold, eat something good."

The maid arranged the dishes and stood aside respectfully.

Yu Lian was not very familiar with this mother, she would lose her words if she said too much, so she said: "Okay." She didn't say anything more.

Zhang Qianlan didn't think too much about it. Her daughter was usually quiet and rarely cared about anything. That's why she was worried that her daughter would be bullied by Yu Lingshan. She took a piece of mutton with her serving chopsticks and put it in her daughter's bowl, saying softly : "Replenishing the body."

Yu Lian raised her clear and lively eyes and said thank you softly. She picked up the other serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of ribs for the woman.

As they came and went, the maid on the side watched the mother and daughter enjoying themselves.

It took two quarters of an hour for a meal to be used up.

After the mother and daughter finished rinsing their mouths, they sat in the hall and talked about themselves, Rushuang was sent down, leaving only Zhang Qianlan's close servant Yu Gu in the hall, she was a trustworthy person.

Zhang Qianlan said quietly: "Lian'er, you also know that the lady in the house is in charge. Although she doesn't make any big moves at ordinary times, she is definitely not a kind person to us. The good ones are all given to Yu Lingshan and her husband." Yu Wenyan, I didn't think about you at all, I will go to the Zhou Mansion in three days, you should dress up beautifully, don't be compared to your eldest sister."

Yu Lian nodded quietly.

Aunt Yu on the side was about the same age as Zhang Qianlan and was very loyal. She had watched the young lady grow up. She nodded quietly and didn’t understand at first sight. She couldn’t help but ask: “Miss, do you really understand?” ?"

Yu Lian looked at Aunt Yu and nodded again: "Understood, Mother wants me to dress up more beautifully, so that I can compare to Elder Sister."

"anything else?"

She thought for a while, shook her head and replied, "No more."

Zhang Qianlan stroked her forehead, waved her hand, and motioned for Aunt Yu to sit down and said that her daughter wouldn't understand anything unless she explained it clearly.

Aunt Yu took two steps forward, sat on the black-painted Pengya armchair, and slowly said, "There are two young masters who have reached marriageable age in the Zhou residence, the legitimate son Zhou Xun, and the concubine Zhou Wenyu. Go home, and other ladies will also go, next spring you will be ready, you have to seize the opportunity to climb Zhou's house."

The charcoal in the stove is burning vigorously.

It's warm~
Under the dim candlelight, the room was silent.

The daughter didn't speak, Zhang Qianlan glanced at her, a little resentful and said: "Yu Lingshan has known about this for a long time, she has been studying etiquette for half a month, and she has made careful preparations, and I have told you about the Zhou Mansion's situation before, You should know the importance of this banquet."

The hateful Shen Wei suppressed the matter of the birthday party, and only sent someone to inform her today.

The woman was so angry that she slapped the table, and the teacup and tea cup were clattered, and she would bully her natal family.

Seeing this, Aunt Yu comforted the miss: "Madam is not angry with you, it is madam who suppressed the banquet and told us today."

Yu Lian just came back to life not long ago, she hasn't thought about marrying yet.

The girl Jiji is about to start talking about marriage, even if she doesn't marry, she can't help her. Her father and the eldest lady will marry her off casually. In Yu's mansion, Yu Lian knows her status well.

Since you want to marry, you have to choose a good talent.

In her previous life, she was full of enthusiasm and did not exchange for Pei Huai'an's affection. Now she only wants to save her sister, escape from Yu's mansion, live a good life, and is not obsessed with love.

In her eyes, only benefits.

Father Yu Xing'an, sister Yu Lingshan, eldest lady Shen Wei, and even Ru Shuang are all wild beasts from time to time, and they don't know when they will stretch out their claws towards her.

Yu Lian reached out to hold the hand of her mother in front of her, and said softly: "I understand, I will find a good husband." Zhang Qianlan shook her back, tapped her forehead with one hand, and sighed: " You need to turn your head around more."

Aunt Yu seemed to think of something, and said: "The Zhou family has deep roots in the capital, and Yu's mansion is a merchant's family in the capital. There are countless families with a higher threshold than Yu's mansion, but Mrs. Zhou's birthday party is actually given to Da Furen and Yu Lingshan. The post also specially invited the second lady, which may be the meaning of Master Zhou Xun or Master Zhou Wenyu."

Yu Lian was puzzled, these two young masters like her?
Seeing her doubts, Yu Gu explained: "The two young masters came to Yu Mansion half a year ago. Maybe one of them took a fancy to you and posted a message in the name of Mrs. Zhou."

At Mrs. Zhou's birthday party, most of the guests are young women who have not left the court.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is looking for a future daughter-in-law for his two grandchildren.

Yu Lian understood that although Yu Xianglian had seen the two young masters, there shouldn't be much to do with them, otherwise her mother wouldn't have come to tell her so much on purpose.

The Zhou family, which Zhou family is it?

She asked curiously: "What's their father's name? I can't remember it for a while."

Zhang Qianlan answered Aunt Yu step by step: "Zhou Cheng is the imperial censor Zhongcheng who is the fifth rank of the imperial court. His elder brother Zhou Liangbi's main wife is two sisters with the queen's mother."

Zhou Liangbi?
The name sounds familiar.

Yu Lian remembered that the person who took the lead in bullying Shigou today seemed to be Zhou Ming, and his father was Zhou Liangbi.

Before she had time to clarify the relationship, Zhang Qianlan continued: "If you can climb into Zhou's family, no matter whether you are a legitimate son or a concubine, you will be safe and secure in your life."

"Mother, I got it." Yu Lian's biological mother was the Imperial Concubine, who passed away early, and it was her elder sister who took care of her more. She rarely enjoyed maternal love, and she felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

The red window was half-opened, the winter chill was getting thicker, and the areas outside the window that were not illuminated by candlelight were pitch black.

The night has already spread~
Zhang Qianlan and Aunt Yu chatted about the ways of the world for a long time before leaving Yiyue Courtyard. Yu Lian stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching the light of the lanterns they were holding dimmed until they disappeared before returning to the wing room.

Because she still had to go to Jinchunfang, she felt like frost after washing her body, pretending to have an early rest.

Rushuang didn't think too much, and went back to her room after cleaning up.
