Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 252
Seeing that it was Zhou Diewu, Qin Xi rarely showed a bright smile.

To be honest, Luo Yunrui always felt that Qin Xi's appearance was not bad.It's just that she has a bad habit since she was a child. She walks with her head bowed and her face often has a trace of sadness, which makes people ignore her appearance.Showing a bright smile like now, Qin Xi suddenly looked beautiful.

Smiling as Qin Xi went to talk to Zhou Diewu, this unmarried girl should still be with her friends of the same age. Although Zhou Diewu is not the head of the Zhou family, she is also a little younger than Qin Xi Years old, but looks more stable and cheerful than Qin Xi.Luo Yunrui was very relieved of Zhou Diewu, and with the prosperity of the Zhou family's heirs, Zhou Diewu had several sisters and sisters-in-law by her side, so naturally there would be no problems.

However, this time Luo Yunrui was too relieved.

The Zhou family can be regarded as a big family in the capital city. Their family is most famous for their prosperous offspring. Not only are there many children, but even the daughter who is married is also very competitive.This is why the status of the Zhou family is not as good as that of many other families, but Miss Zhou can often be seen at some banquets.There is no way, the Zhou family has many heirs, and there are very few people in the capital who are not related to their family by marriage.

I found a few acquaintances from the official family to talk to. Although this is a birthday banquet, for many guests, it is also a banquet for everyone to connect with each other.For example, this time is obviously the birthday of the old man of the Gu family, but because of the difference between men and women, these female relatives in the backyard will never see the old birthday star at all.

After talking for a while, Luo Yunrui was surprised to hear a piece of news.It's about Zhou Diewu.

The opposite of the Zhou family with prosperous children is the Gu family, and although the Gu family is not comparable to the Zhou family in terms of status and power.But status and power can't conceal the fact that the Gu family has no next generation yet!

Although, in a few years, if the young lady of the Gu family has not yet given birth, it is not impossible for the Gu family to take concubines for the young master of the Gu family.But concubine... No matter what kind of family it is, it is a shameful thing for a concubine's son to inherit the family business.Like many high-ranking and wealthy families, they would rather choose to adopt from the clan than let the bastard inherit the family business.But the Gu family is an exception. Their family has only seven generations, and even if they want to adopt, there is no one to choose.

Fortunately, the second young master of the Gu family has not yet married a wife. Although he is not good at conduct, there are no problems in some aspects.A few years ago, for the sake of the Gu family's future, the Gu family's wife also hoped to find a daughter-in-law who would keep her own life.But slowly, she had to worry about the matter of taking care of her family.As long as there is a son, even if it is the son of the second young master of the Gu family, that's fine.Whether it is adoption, or passing the position of Patriarch to that child in the future, he finally has an explanation to his ancestors.

Therefore, it was inevitable that Mrs. Gu's family turned her mind on the Zhou family.

The prosperity of the Zhou family's descendants is a fact that the entire capital knows.However, because of this, the young ladies of the Zhou family don't worry about getting married. Even if they are concubine daughters, some people come to ask for them, and most of them are from inferior families who ask to be married as the eldest daughter-in-law.Therefore, Mrs. Gu's family took a lot of face for this, and finally the Zhou family let go of it not long ago.

Zhou Diewu was originally engaged, but the other party was dismissed and sent back the year before last because she was involved in some cases involving hundreds of families.Naturally, this marriage will not work out.Coupled with the fact that there are many heirs in the Zhou family, she, a young lady with an inconspicuous appearance and talent, will naturally not be noticed by others, and it will be delayed if she comes and goes.

Originally, the wife of the Gu family begged to come to the Zhou family's door, but the Zhou family didn't intend to agree.However, Zhou Diewu is a person with her own opinions. After inquiring about this matter, she found the old lady of the Zhou family and expressed her intentions very tactfully.According to what she said, she still has self-knowledge, and she is afraid that if this marriage is missed, she will have to marry into a merchant's family.Although even if she really married into a merchant's family, she would at least be the eldest daughter-in-law, but she didn't want to see all her sisters marrying into an official family, and she was the only one...

In the end, the Zhou family naturally agreed. They didn't want to offend the Gu family, but they didn't want to persecute their young lady even more.This neglect is one thing, but compulsion is quite another.Miss Zhou's family was never worried about getting married, and she didn't have to make troubles all over the city.

Luo Yunrui really didn't expect such a thing to happen, but she was slightly taken aback, and she breathed a sigh of relief.At least, according to the current situation, the Gu family has no idea about Qin Xi at all.That's right, compared with the Zhou family, the Qin family's heirs are not so prosperous.

Turning around at the banquet, Luo Yunrui found an opportunity to tell the eldest wife of the Qin family about it.The eldest wife of the Qin family had an expression of understanding. She also heard about these things just now.Generally speaking, when the marriage is still being discussed, such uncertain news will not be released, neither the man nor the woman will disclose the news.But helplessly, Mrs. Gu's family consulted with several wives of Zhou's family many times, and even visited her personally several times.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, so naturally this matter was revealed.Fortunately, the two parties seem to be pretty good looking at it now, and it doesn't hurt to say a few words.

Nothing special happened at the Gu family's birthday banquet, except that the wives shared their gossip with each other, the main thing was that someone was planning to marry someone, or someone's young mistress was pregnant.However, in the Gu family, when it comes to pregnancy and children, you still have to be a little more scrupulous.

Everything seemed very peaceful, until the end of the banquet, Qin Xi, accompanied by Zhou Diewu, came to Luo Yunrui's side.Seeing that Luo Yunrui had been found, Zhou Diewu turned and left.Luo Yunrui didn't notice any problems at the time. After all, it's normal for a young girl like her not to like talking to a young lady like her who was married and had two sons.

However, on the way back, Luo Yunrui faintly felt that something was wrong.Although Qin Xi lowered her head and did not speak as she did when she came here, Luo Yunrui always felt that something had changed in Qin Xi.

"Xi'er? Are you having fun today?" Luo Yunrui asked tentatively, and found that Qin Xi didn't nod perfunctorily as usual, but looked a little surprised, and then quickly looked up at Luo Yunrui took a look, and then said softly that she was happy.

Feeling something was wrong in my heart, and even the eldest wife of the Qin family, who hadn't noticed at first, began to look at Qin Xi with probing eyes under Luo Yunrui's deliberate reminder.However, Qin Xi just kept her head down and said nothing.

That night, Luo Yunrui and Qin Shaotian went back to their yard, first went to see Jie Geer and Tai Geer who had fallen asleep, and then went back to the room to rest.The two of them just talked a little about this birthday banquet, but Luo Yunrui didn't express her doubts.Firstly, Qin Xi was too shy, even if she just told Qin Shaotian, it would embarrass her extremely.Secondly, it was because even if Qin Shaotian was told, it would not help the matter in any way.

However, the eldest wife of the Qin family took Qin Xi to rest in her yard that night, euphemistically saying that the mother and daughter hadn't talked together for a long time.Qin Xi never knew what rejection meant, so she was naturally pulled away by force.

On the second day, shortly after Qin Shaotian woke up, a maid came to Luo Yunrui's yard, saying that the eldest wife of the Qin family had something important to discuss.Luo Yunrui got up in a daze, and after washing and dressing, she realized that the sky had just dawned.Fearing that something might really happen to Mrs. Qin's family, Luo Yunrui rushed over, but saw Qin Xi sitting next to Mrs. Qin's family. Even if she lowered her head, Luo Yunrui could still see Qin Xi. Xi's little face was already dripping with blood.

"Mother, what's the matter? What happened?"

The eldest wife of the Qin family immediately ordered the maids to go down, and even the maids' proposal to prepare early was rejected.Luo Yunrui became even more worried. Thinking of Qin Xi's obviously wrong appearance when she came back from Gu's house yesterday, her anxiety became more and more intense.

"Rui'er, I asked Xi'er for a long time yesterday, and she finally told me what was in her heart." The eldest wife of the Qin family said solemnly: "Didn't she stay with Xiaodie when she was in the Gu family yesterday?" Son? It turns out that the Gu family and the Zhou family arranged a meeting, but I didn't expect this silly girl to follow her!"

Luo Yunrui also had the so-called acquaintance before.Generally, the two families agree to the marriage of their children, and they will arrange a meeting that is not very special.For example, before Luo Yunrui discussed marriage with Qin Shaotian, she once met her brother with the help of her best friend.In fact, meeting like this doesn't explain anything, after all, it's just a glance from a distance, and usually you can't even say a word.

If you just accidentally followed her to a blind date, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
"Mother, if it's just like this, you don't have to worry too much. After all, it was a little late at that time, and if you look at it like this, you will definitely not face each other." Thinking of this, Luo Yunrui breathed a sigh of relief .Anyway, the marriage between the Gu family and the Zhou family was consensual, even if Qin Xi accidentally glanced at it from a distance, as long as the two parties don't say anything, it's not a big deal.

Compared with the previous dynasty, the folk customs of this dynasty are relatively open. At least unmarried men and women see each other before getting engaged, or it is no problem for married women to go to the streets.Unlike the previous dynasty, if this matter was put aside for a while, the fun would be great.Either Qin Xi will never marry for life, or she can only marry the second young master of the Gu family.

"Things are not that simple!" The eldest wife of the Qin family said eagerly, "Rui'er, when Miss Zhou's family sent Xi'er back yesterday, did you find anything wrong with Miss Zhou's family? I heard Hearing Xi'er's words, I think the Zhou family might regret their marriage this week!"
