peasant girl allure

Chapter 678
Mrs. Zhu shook her head: "I appreciate the kindness of the Marquis of Shengping's mansion. Yan'er is not sensible, and I don't know what conditions she made with the eldest son of the Marquis of Shengping. It's just that getting married is a major event in a lifetime, and two surnames should be married." , it's not a business transaction, I will never make fun of my daughter's happiness, so I can't accept this marriage."

Tan Shi: "..."

The more Mrs. Zhu talked, the more confused she became!Is there anything elders like me and sister-in-law don't know?
What conditions did Miss Zhu promise Jingrui?There is also a transaction in the mall, what kind of transaction is it?
No, with Jing Rui's current status and the Shen family's current family background, does Jing Rui still need to make a deal of marriage?
Is there any misunderstanding in this?
Just as Mrs. Tan was about to say something, Mrs. Zhu interrupted her: "Mrs. Liu, don't waste your tongue. I have made up my mind on this matter. Thank you Mrs. Shengpinghou for your kindness."

Seeing this, Mrs. Tan didn't know what to say anymore. No, she didn't give herself a chance to say anything. She stood up and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but Mrs. Zhu must have misunderstood something. I'll take my leave first. Another day." Come visit again."

She had to go back and ask Jing Rui what was going on, Madam Zhu's reaction was too strange.

Although the marriage could not be concluded, Mrs. Zhu was also worried that the Shengpinghou family would be offended in this way, so she personally sent Mrs. Tan out of the mansion.

Back in the house, Mrs. Zhu felt uneasy, and she thought about sending the maid beside her to call Zhu Yan back.

Early this morning, the manager of the shop said that he had an urgent matter to see, but the manager didn't know what to say to Zhu Yan, so Zhu Yan and the manager left in a hurry.

Mrs. Zhu waited restlessly in the room for a whole day, and then waited for her tired-looking daughter to come back while lighting the lamp.

"Mother, did you send someone to call me back home?" Zhu Yan walked into Zhu's room and lay down on the table so tired.

"You child is not sitting properly." Although Mrs. Zhu said so, she didn't ask her to sit upright. Instead, she felt sorry for her daughter who had been away all day.

Mrs. Zhu's maid immediately poured a cup of hot tea for Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan took it, tasted it first, found that the temperature was moderate, and drank it all in one gulp.

After being busy all day, she really didn't even bother to drink a sip of water today.

"What happened in the shop? Why do you look so tired? Have you eaten yet?" Mrs. Zhu saw her daughter's exhaustion that couldn't be concealed, and she forgot what she wanted to ask after waiting all day.

Zhu Yan was silent for a moment before she opened her mouth and said, "I haven't eaten yet, Second Uncle was arrested early this morning."

Mrs. Zhu knocked over the teacup in fright when she heard this, and the tea stained the brocade cloth on the round table.

Mrs. Zhu stood up quickly to avoid getting wet.

The servant girl hurried forward to deal with it.

"Mother, don't panic! The court has already found out about this matter, it's only the second uncle who did it alone, and it has nothing to do with our eldest house." Zhu Yan sat up straight and let the servant girl change the tablecloth conveniently.

Fortunately, her grandfather insisted on dividing the family regardless of the objections of her grandmother and the clan before he passed away. Otherwise, her family would have nothing to do with today's disaster.

Grandpa has always been wise, and he said before that the second uncle is not a person who likes to follow the right path, and the Zhu family's fortune must not fall into the hands of the second uncle.

It's just that my father has always loved this younger brother. After he fell ill, he handed over part of the property to the second uncle.

Unexpectedly, in just three years, the second uncle almost caused a catastrophe!
Fortunately, one of the several stewards of Water Transport was loyal to his father and risked his death to tell him, and happened to meet Sheng Pinghou's family returning to their hometown to celebrate his birthday, otherwise it would not only be the second uncle's family who were arrested today.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhu calmed down a little, and sat down again, and then she asked the maid to go to the kitchen to bring some food for Zhu Yan.

After the maid left, Mrs. Zhu remembered the purpose of Mrs. Tan's visit today. It happened that the second brother was arrested by the government again, but her family was safe and sound. This further confirmed her guess.

"Yan'er, you silly child. Marriage is the second reincarnation of a woman. Marriage is a trifling matter. Even if it is to save our whole family, it should not be traded! Mother will never agree to you to take it!" You are making fun of your own happiness!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yan thought that her mother thought that her family was able to get away safely this time because her beauty trick succeeded, she laughed and said: "Mother, you misunderstood, this time our family was indeed able to escape because of the help of Rui'an County Lord I'm busy, but I didn't use my marriage as a bargaining chip, I told the truth of the matter, and County Lord Rui'an asked someone to investigate thoroughly!"

As for the donated food, it was also donated to the imperial court, and had nothing to do with the half pennies of the Shengpinghou family.

"Speaking of a deal, it's not a business. This is too serious! Even if I wanted to use the beauty trap to ascend to the Pinghou Mansion, I hope that they can save our family through the relationship between in-laws, but that still depends on others." Only if you have a crush on me!" Zhu Yan continued.

"You don't have to lie to me! If your beauty trick didn't work out, why did they send Mrs. Liu as a matchmaker?"

"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Zhu Yan thought she had heard it wrong, no, it must be her mother who said it wrong, so she couldn't help asking again.

"Mrs. Liu came here early this morning to matchmaker the eldest son of Marquis Shengping. You really didn't use your marriage to achieve your goal?" Seeing Zhu Yan's face full of disbelief, Mrs. Zhu asked uncertainly.

Zhu Yan couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this: "Mother, did you see the eldest son of Hou Shengping that day? They thought it was a Zhilan Yushu. He was selected as a scholar at a young age, and he was the head of the case. His father is Lord Hou, and his sister is The future imperial concubine, what kind of girl does he want to marry with such an identity? Even the daughter of the magistrate's wife is interesting to him, not to mention how many ladies the emperor has! Is he blind in which eye would he fall in love with such a girl? Ordinary me?"

"Why don't you like him? You are not worthy of him!" Mrs. Zhu muttered after hearing this. Her daughter looks like herself, and she is beautiful, with a head like her father. She is smart!Personality and generosity!It can be said that beauty and wisdom are both important!Nowhere is it ordinary!Even if he is the eldest son of Hou Shengping, he will not humiliate him.

As long as a man has eyes, he will like his daughter when he sees it, okay?

Seeing her mother's expression, Zhu Yan knew what she was thinking, and she said helplessly: "Mother, in your eyes, I am naturally very good, but there are many people who are prettier than me, and smarter than me." There are too many to list, I was thrown out a few blocks just by the county lord Rui'an! With such a dazzling younger sister, what would people like about me?"

In fact, the moment she saw Princess Rui'an, she felt that her beauty trick would fail.
