As soon as Xie Jingya sat down, Grandma Yu entered the inner room.

"Miss, there are guests at Madam Tai's place today."

Xie Jingya asked: "Who is coming?"

"He is a relative of Mr. Qiao, the Minister of Household Affairs. He is closely related to Mrs. Tai." Grandma Yu thought for a while and said, "Looking at that, she probably wants to get married to our Xie Mansion."

"That Mr. Qiao is a third-grade official with the same position as my father. He is a bit older than my father." Xie Jingya knew this Mr. Qiao. In his previous life, he married his second sister Xie Jingqi to fill a house. There was a man in the house.

The legitimate daughter is the same age as Xie Jingqi

It seems that the eldest son of the concubine is three years older than Xie Jingqi, and there are many concubines in the house. According to Xie Jingqi's uncontested temperament, what can make her commit suicide is definitely not fighting for favor, but not being able to be loved and humiliated. This shows that

This Mr. Qiao must have some other traps.

"That's right. What Madam Mrs. Wang means is that the second lady of the third bedroom will be filled with Mr. Qiao." Aunt Yu told Xie Jingya the news she had found out.

"It's almost the Chinese New Year, are you in a hurry to pick someone to fill a house?" Xie Jingya didn't know when she came to propose marriage in her last life. It wasn't until the Gengtie was changed and the date was confirmed that Xie Jingya knew that Xie Jingqi was going to propose marriage.

Marry Mr. Qiao to fill a house.

"They just said it was a relative relationship, and they came to give New Year's gifts. They asked the second lady if she was married, and then took the opportunity to mention Mr. Qiao's matter. The wife did not refuse, and only said that there was a banquet at home some time ago.

If you have free time then,

I'm just here to be a guest." Grandma Yu replied, feeling cold in her heart, and sighed: "It's a pity that the second lady, with her gorgeous appearance, has to marry someone so many years older to fill a house at such a young age. There are still people in the house.

So many legitimate daughters, concubines, concubines, and concubines.”

"I heard what grandma said, it's not a good place, wouldn't grandma know?" Xie Jingya took a sip of tea, and then said: "If grandma knew, wouldn't she just send her second sister to the fire pit?

"

You know, in this era, it is not unusual for a fifteen-year-old girl to marry a man who is twenty or thirty years older than her.

"Miss, you don't know something about this. When it comes to the family relationship, it is natural that the second young lady married higher. What's more, Mr. Qiao is the Minister of Household Affairs. That is a lucrative place. This will be different in the future in the house.

Young master or master, they have paved a road, Mrs.

This must be clear. As for the people in the third bedroom..." Speaking of this, Aunt Yu couldn't help but sigh again, "I have a niece who is about the same age as the second lady. If my niece marries such a

In the mansion, the old slave is definitely not willing, but..."

Grandma Yu felt very sad when she thought about Xie Jingqi's fate in the future.

"Mammy is so sad, she must be thinking of your niece. In my opinion, if you miss her, you can bring her to your house to be your companion." Xie Jingya has met Yu Xing, and she is a smart person at first glance.

Steady.

"Miss..." Grandma Yu seemed to have a lot of feelings today. When she heard Xie Jingya's caring words, her eyes became sore.

"I'm afraid it's too late to go back to celebrate the New Year. Grandma, just go back after the New Year." Xie Jingya echoed.

"Thank you, Miss, for your gift!" Grandma Yu replied with tears of gratitude.

"Does the third aunt know about the second sister's marriage?" Since Xie Jingya decided to help Xie Jingqi in this life, she had to understand the situation.

"The Third Madam never asks anything about the affairs of the house. She probably hasn't told the people over there yet." Aunt Yu stood beside Xie Jingya and replied.

"Go and find out how Third Auntie treats Second Sister's marriage. Also, by the way, find out if Third Auntie is interested in getting married." Xie Jingya told Aunt Yu about the matter.

Grandma Yu took the order and retreated.

In Mrs. Xie's inner room, she was lying on the couch at the moment, and her personal mother-in-law was holding a teacup and blowing on it. After blowing for a while, she put the teacup into Mrs. Xie's hand.

She sat up cross-legged, took two sips of tea, and said calmly: "Mother Wu, what do you think of the Qiao family's marriage?"

Nanny Wu bent down, took a step forward, and said softly: "In my opinion, this marriage is the second young lady's first marriage. If it can happen, it will be a beautiful thing."

"The Household Department is a good place. If Ruiwen becomes successful in the future, it would be a good choice to let Anbang help him enter the Household Department. Mr. Qiao will also take care of him." The more Mrs. Xie thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.

It was a good marriage, completely ignoring the messy things going on in Qiao's house.

"I am just worried about the Third Madam. After all, she is not as far-sighted as you, Old Madam, and she may not be as willing as she is short-sighted." A woman like Aunt Wu, who has been in a wealthy family for so many years, is not interested in some high-ranking officials in the capital.

I know a little bit about the inner house of my family.

As for the affairs of the Qiao Mansion, you only need to spend some time to inquire about it and you will know that the daughters of ordinary government officials, or even good daughters of ordinary people, will not send their daughters to the Qiao Mansion to fill houses. At most, they will

Rich families would marry off their daughters from concubines.

Compared with Miss Xie's marriage, this second lady's marriage seems even worse.

When Mrs. Xie heard the mention of the person in the third house, she couldn't help but snorted, "I, as a grandmother, can't I give you some advice on the marriage of children, the orders of parents, and the words of matchmakers? Is it possible that her daughter is better than the people in the house?"

The other direct descendants are still valuable, and those who have raised three houses for so many years are just waiting for them to repay you at this critical moment."

In the eyes of Mrs. Xie, the children of the third wife are all deserving of fate. Who said they are not the seeds that crawled out of her belly? Over the years, she is willing to raise them just because she thinks about the future of the house.

The young masters' official careers need to be paved by the marriage of these concubine's daughters, otherwise, according to her temperament, she will not let them live peacefully in the mansion.

"What the old lady said is absolutely true. After supporting them for so many years, it's time for them to repay the favor." Grandma Wu echoed back.

"After the Chinese New Year, when the house is free, I will take the opportunity to invite Mr. Qiao to come to the house as a guest so that I can meet these two girls. If there is no problem, I will change the Gengtie and find an auspicious date." Regarding Xie Jingqi's marriage.

, she felt that being able to find someone with a family like Mr. Qiao was already a high achievement for her. If she didn't give in, don't blame her for being rude in the future.

Aunt Wu stepped forward and took Mrs. Xie's tea cup, and said softly: "Let me get you a cup of hot food to warm yourself up."

"Yes." Mrs. Xie handed her the teacup and waved her hand, indicating that she would bring another hot cup.
