Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 612 Rejection and Calculation

"What did you say?" The old lady of the Xu family looked at her always well-behaved and lovely granddaughter in shock, and couldn't believe her ears at all.

The person who was as shocked as her was Lin Xuanniang, but Lin Xuanniang didn't know much about Miss Xu's family, and she knew her current identity very well. Although she was very surprised, she didn't ask.

Relatively speaking, the master of the Xu family was a little better. He just frowned and looked at his daughter who was full of excitement and determination.

"I said, I don't want to marry that young master of the Luo family." The face of the eldest lady of the Xu family was flushed with excitement. Seeing her father staring at her, she gritted her teeth and said what was in her heart : "Father, grandma, he is a sick child, you all know why you want me to marry him?"

The old lady of the Xu family slammed the table: "What are you talking about? It's normal to be a little weak when you are young. Just because of this reason, you don't want to marry him?"

"Mother, don't get angry, let your son have a good talk with Sister Mu." Seeing that the old lady of the Xu family was really angry, the master of the Xu family hurriedly comforted Lin Xuanniang, and gave Lin Xuanniang a look: "Mother Xuan, help me first." Mother, go down and rest, I am here."

"No need!" The old lady of the Xu family flatly refused: "I just don't want to talk, you just ask her in front of me, why?"

Seeing the old lady of the Xu family's firm attitude, the master of the Xu family couldn't force it, so he could only sigh and look at his daughter: "Sister Mu, you don't like Luo Wei, is it because of Luo Rui?"

In fact, the master of the Xu family didn't know much about the girl's thoughts, he just speculated about his daughter according to his own thoughts.According to him, Luo Rui was much better than Luo Wei except that Luo Rui was born a little lower than Luo Wei.Besides, the current Luo family has long been separated, so if we really want to calculate the family background, it's not much different.

"Luo Rui? Who is that?" Miss Xu's face was blank.

At this time, Lin Xuanniang suddenly said, "Master, you really don't understand Sister Mu. Sister Mu is still young, so she won't like a man who has grown up."

The master of the Xu family was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly: "Well, maybe I guessed wrong about this matter. Then, sister Mu, can you tell the truth to Dad? I don't think that just because you are weak, you You will reject Luo Wei so resolutely. Let me think about it, we have only been in the capital for so many days, you should have no chance to see other foreign men, right?"

"Father, you!" Although the young lady of the Xu family rushed out of the room because of a moment of excitement, seeing that the master of the Xu family did not refuse as she imagined, the shyness of the daughter's family naturally gradually faded away. revealed.

"Sister Mu, you are my daughter. Of course, the father hopes that you will live a happy and worry-free life. If you insist on it today, that's fine. I'll go back to this marriage. But, your age It’s not small, I still have to find other marriages for you next time. Once or twice, I allow you to be willful. But, sister Mu, I have to explain to you clearly, this time I will definitely not be able to help it You. If you are old in two years, even if you can't find someone who satisfies you, you will have to marry me. "

"Father..." Miss Xu's complexion turned pale, biting her lip as if she was still hesitating.

"Sister Mu, Dad loves you very much. If you really have someone you like, why don't you just talk to Dad. If the other party comes from too much background and we can't afford to climb up, it's better to let you calm down as soon as possible. .If the other party comes from a humble background, if you insist, I will prepare some more dowry for you, and you will have to bear everything in the future. Sister Mu, what do you think?"

The young lady of the Xu family who was lowering her head suddenly raised her head to look at the master of the Xu family, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she quickly said, "I like the young master of the Qin family."

After hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.

The master of the Xu family was completely stunned, he had no idea who the "eldest young master of the Qin family" his daughter was talking about.The old lady of the Xu family was thoughtful, while Lin Xuanniang's face jumped up, secretly screaming that something was wrong.

"Who is that?" Seeing that his daughter's face was blushing with embarrassment, the master of the Xu family didn't ask any more questions, but turned his attention to his mother and wife.

The old lady of the Xu family hesitated for a while, before she said, "It's the eldest son of Luo Rui's direct sister just now. Sister Mu, did you see him at home that day? I remember that Mrs. Qin and the young master came to see off their relatives." Although the latter sentence was addressed to Miss Xu's family, the eyes of the old lady of Xu's family were aimed at Lin Xuanniang.

Lin Xuanniang hurriedly explained: "Mrs. Qin and I were handkerchief acquaintances when we were not out of the cabinet. We both lived in Luzhou City at the beginning, and we had a close relationship with each other." After a pause, Lin Xuanniang added with a little embarrassment : "Didn't the Luo family be implicated when something happened to our family?"

What happened to the Lin family back then, the old lady of the Xu family naturally knew very well.

In fact, if it is really counted, it should be that something happened to the Xu family in the first place, which affected all the people related to the Xu family, and the Lin family was the most affected.In order to save the last face, the Lin family even canceled all the marriages that had already been settled.Naturally, Luo Yunrui was also included.

The old lady of the Xu family definitely had a fresh memory of what happened more than ten years ago, but after a little recollection, she understood the whole story.Immediately he breathed a sigh of relief: "This is really a bad fate."

If that woman hadn't come to Xu's house to make a fuss, her only biological son might not have died because of it.And her old man, who will not become depressed and ill, passed away a few years ago.As for Lin Xuanniang, it is very likely that she became her daughter-in-law more than ten years ago, had children, and raised children.As for Luo Yunrui, she should have married Lin Xuanniang's elder brother back then, so naturally there is no such thing as the young master of the Qin family.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

The master of the Xu family has also figured out the whole story at this moment: "Sister Mu likes the son of the Miss Luo family back then? By the way, I remembered, Qin Yuantai... the Qin family you are talking about is not Qin Yuantai's family, right? I remember that Qin Yuantai seems to be the second young master at home, so the first young master of the Qin family..."

Unlike the female family members in the back house, the master of the Xu family is a sixth-rank official. Although he is not qualified to go to the court, he is still clear about the affairs of the court.Of course he knew the few people in the capital who had the closest relationship with the royal family, Qin Yuantai, the second young master of the Qin family, was one of them.

Lin Xuanniang was a little surprised that the master of the Xu family knew the name of the second young master of the Qin family: "I know that the first young master is named Brother Jie, the second young master is Brother Tai, and the third young master is Brother Hao. However, I When chatting with Mrs. Qin's family, they didn't mention their full names."

"This..." Master Xu's face became more hesitant, he thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "Sister Mu, this matter can't be done. Our family can't climb up to the Qin family."

Miss Xu's face turned pale, her eyes were full of despair, she murmured incredulously: "How could this be, it's impossible... Father, isn't that Mrs. Qin a friend of mother's?" Xiang Lin Xuanniang's face was full of begging.

"Sister Mu, this matter is not up to your mother." Seeing the despair on his daughter's face, the master of the Xu family couldn't bear it, and explained in a low voice: "The current head of the Qin family is Qin Shaotian, and his own official Only a fifth-rank official, if that's the case, I, the eldest daughter of a sixth-rank official, is worthy of his family's eldest son. But the problem lies with the second young master of the Qin family."

Seeing the incomprehensible expressions on everyone's faces, the master of the Xu family simply said what he had just learned a few days ago.

Well, there's nothing to hide about this.Although the Holy Majesty has not decreed a marriage right now, it is only because the two of them are still young.However, there are rumors that the Queen Mother's health is getting worse and worse, and it is estimated that she will issue a decree to grant a marriage at the latest during the Chinese New Year this year.

"...Sister Mu, there is really nothing father can do about this matter. If the second son of the Qin family becomes the princess, no matter what, the eldest son will marry a noble daughter or a lady from a noble family. Our family is only in the capital. It can be regarded as average, and it is more than enough than the top, but it is absolutely impossible to match your background with the young master of the Qin family."

"Father, I..." Suddenly, the young lady of the Xu family covered her face and wept bitterly, turned around and ran out, the master of the Xu family hurriedly chased after her, leaving the old lady of the Xu family and Lin Xuanniang looking at each other.

"Xuanniang, do you know these things about the Qin family?"

Lin Xuanniang shook her head to express her ignorance. Speaking of which, the Lin family came to the capital earlier than the Xu family, but because the Lin family had already been reduced from an official family to a merchant family.If he stayed in the capital all the time, he might catch up with Tai Geer when he was in the limelight.But now the people in the capital are talking about the secrets of Prince Gong's Mansion and the Tang family the most. As for Tai Ge'er, it's been an old story for many years. Who would bother to mention these things.

After a while, the master of the Xu family came back and forth, with a frowning look on his face: "Sister Mu locked herself in her room, and she didn't see anyone. Mother, Niang Xuan, you should find a way to persuade her."

"How to persuade? Or, let her be quiet first? That child is usually very well-behaved, but once she gets stubborn, I don't think I can persuade her." The old lady of the Xu family can be said to be the person who knows her granddaughter best. , This is also why the old lady of the Xu family never considers people with higher family backgrounds. She is worried that her granddaughter's temperament is not suitable for being low-key and small.

Lin Xuanniang hesitated for a while, and said with a little confidence: "Why don't I go and find out what the Qin family's wife has said? If it can be done, it will be fine."

"That's fine, but you have to speak slowly, even if it doesn't work out, you can't ruin your friendship." Hearing what Lin Xuanniang said, the old lady of the Xu family was somewhat moved.If possible, she certainly hoped that her granddaughter would marry well.

If the second young master of the Qin family was Princess Shang, he would definitely move out.In this way, there are only two young masters and two sisters left in the Qin family. Sooner or later, these sisters will marry off. In this way, even if the family is not separated, the population is considered simple.
