The beauty of the lady

Chapter 177 Poisonous Tongue (4)
"This, this is me?"

She raised her head and stroked her cheek, asking in a trembling voice.

"You haven't answered my question yet, what do you think women want in their life?"

"Isn't it just a husband who loves you, a father-in-law who loves you, and a filial and sensible child." Because of the incident just now, her feelings for Zhou Mei have changed a little.

"What about your family background?" Zhou Mei continued to ask with a smile.

"Naturally, naturally is noble."

"Noble?" Zhou Mei raised her brows with a hint of sarcasm.

"Why..." Zhao Ruolan's complexion was a little ugly, and she glanced at Zhou Mei in the mirror, "Am I wrong? Isn't the more noble the woman's husband's family is, the better? There's nothing to look down on."

"Nothing, when I didn't say it."

"You Shaoming said one thing and one thing behind another. You obviously have something to say. Just say it. I can still eat you?" This sentence reveals to some extent that Zhao Ruolan's temper is not so bad. Zhou Mei's tone was just pretending to be impatient.

Zhou Mei sighed, took the comb on the table, loosened her black hair, and combed it gently for her.

"Nobility is decency, and decency is given by oneself. It has nothing to do with others. You want your husband's family to give you honour. If it is a bad thing in itself, so what if you are a concubine. You are not favored by the emperor. Then you are not even as good as a court lady, your so-called decentness is nothing more than high position and weight, but you don’t care about your husband’s family background, no matter how decent you are, what’s the use of being decent.” As he said, he combed a lily bun for her, and tied the hair on the back. She kept a pinch, and moved the rest to her chest. Then she took out a simple phoenix hairpin from the jewelry box, and pinned a red silk flower on her left temple. Zhao Ruolan, "After tidying up like this, the whole person will not look good."

Zhao Ruolan quietly looked at herself in the mirror, knowing it for a long time, and then asked: "My mother is seriously ill now, and my marriage will fall on my sister-in-law. I don't like my sister-in-law, and I rarely get along with her. She will do it for me." I'm looking for someone."

"Auntie is not as dirty as you think. The family she finds for you may not be rich and powerful, but it must be from a very clean family background. Your dowry is still 120 liters, but the decision depends on the family background of the man. It’s fine for people to carry them over after they get married.”

"Why are you being so nice to me?" Zhao Ruolan was still a little puzzled.

"Okay? I've never liked you, what's so good about it." Zhou Mei laughed softly, "It's just that if you don't marry, it will be detrimental to the Zhao family."

Zhao Ruolan's expression fell instantly, she stood up suddenly, walked to the bed, turned her back to Zhou Mei and said, "Go out, I'm going to rest."

This time Zhou Mei didn't continue to stay cheeky, but smiled lightly, turned around and left.

Seeing her leaving back through the window, Zhao Ruolan clenched her lips, hesitated for a while, then walked slowly to the mirror, looked at the delicate and beautiful girl inside, and smiled for a long time, spreading from the corners of her lips.

"Xiuru, go to the kitchen and order two side dishes."

When the big girl outside heard this sentence, her face was extremely shocked, until the little girl next to her tugged at her sleeve, Xiuru finally realized it, leaning towards the closed door, excitedly Said: "Yes, Miss, the maidservant is going now."

Zhou Mei who left didn't go to Shicui Courtyard, but went straight to find Mrs. Lu.

"Auntie, you should hurry up and show Zhao Ruolan these days, I think she will let go."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu looked up at Zhou Mei, and asked in surprise, "Did you go to see Sister Lan just now?"

"Well, go sit for a while."

"If you agree, it's really good. I already have a plan in my heart. One is the second-best man selected in the imperial examination last year. His family background is clean, and his parents are also good. Although his family background is a little clean, there is no guarantee that he will not have a good future in the future." .” As he spoke, he took out a list from the account book next to him, and there were three or five people on it.

Zhou Mei took it over and took a look. There were indeed a few on it, but two of them were in the capital, and the other three or four were the heirs of officials in the prefecture below, and they were all the eldest sons. Judging from what was written on it, their family background was also very good. of.

"Is Aunt really thinking about Zhao Ruolan?" Zhou Mei asked softly.

Mrs. Lu straightened her expression and said meaningfully: "Meier, although Auntie doesn't like Sister Lan a little bit, she is still the daughter of the Zhao family's legitimate daughter after all. We don't expect to be honored in the future, but we can't let others talk about the Zhao family. It's not good, so naturally I want to find someone from a clean family, and my aunt is sincerely doing her best."

"In this case, let's take a look at these two in the capital."

"That's fine, I've asked people to inquire about it these few days, and my aunt still thinks that Jiang Bang is a good person. He is the only son at home, and there are only two younger sisters under him. There are some Susukadas in the family. The most important thing is that he is a good person. "

"It's fine for my aunt to decide. My cousin is going to get married in a month. I just need to take advantage of this time and I need to go back to Yuzhou Mansion to have a look."

"What to do?"

"I learned Shu embroidery from an old lady. I haven't seen her for a long time. She is also getting old. This time I want to go back and see her old man."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu nodded and said, "That's what it should be. If it wasn't for the incident that happened in the mansion, you should have gone back to see her at the beginning of the year."

"Yes!"

But the next morning, Zhao Ruolan unexpectedly appeared in Shicui Courtyard.

At this time Zhou Mei was having breakfast, and seeing her appear with two girls, she beckoned her to come and sit down, and asked Chunqin to buy more bowls and chopsticks, "It's so early, there's no need for breakfast, let's use some here."

Zhao Ruolan didn't refuse either. In fact, she came here this time without going to the Three Treasures Hall.

"Auntie found a few for you, but you have to pick and choose. Last year's Jiang Bangshou is the best. Although he is innocent, his family background is also simple. There is only Jiang Bangsan in the family, and there are people below. Two sisters, it is not for my aunt to make a random decision on this matter, I still have to discuss it with Grandma Sun, I will tell you in advance, if you don't want to, you can tell your aunt directly, so as not to make it difficult for your aunt .”

"No. [-]?" Zhao Ruolan frowned slightly.

"Well, I've read it too. Although I haven't seen the No. [-] Jiang, it is said that his literary talents are very good. He was hand-picked by the Ninth Prince and will be reused sooner or later. Of course, you still need to nod for this matter." Good." Zhou Mei served her a bowl of glutinous rice soup with shredded meat and put it in front of her, "The higher the family status, the greater the rules, and the descendants will be richer. Instead of directly marrying into a rich family, it is better to be a rich man." Wouldn't it be more fulfilling to be the mother of someone who is a mother?"
