After putting on the hot tea again, Mrs. Xie quietly looked at Nanny Wu, and then asked: "What is the situation in the Qiao Mansion? Tell me."

Mrs. Xie took two slow bites and then listened to Nanny Wu reporting the situation to her.

"Mr. Qiao's first wife left behind a legitimate daughter, who is two years older than the second lady. The marriage has been discussed. I heard that she is a seventh young master from Luzhou Prefecture. This was the marriage arranged by Mrs. Qiao before she passed away. Now this Qiao

The eldest wife's filial piety period has also passed, and I heard that the marriage will take place next year." Aunt Wu straightened herself up and said again:

"There are three concubines in the Qiao Mansion. The eldest son is fifteen years old and is studying in the Imperial College. The other two are younger and are still invited to be teachers in the mansion. There are also three concubines, nine aunts, and four of them are still alive.

I don’t know about the maids arranged by my aunt’s side, but there are some singing girls sent by officials in daily life.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Xie smiled happily.

"This is very good, otherwise I would not feel comfortable marrying my second girl to such a high family." Mrs. Xie smiled happily. The high family will help pave the way for her beloved grandchildren.

, old age and a messy inner house cannot allow the people in the third room to live a good life. For such a good marriage, they can't even find a lantern.

Seeing Mrs. Xie's relaxed mood, Mother Wu also accompanied her and said some words of sympathy. It wasn't until she was tired that Mother Wu was allowed to retreat.

The next day, Grandma Yu found out that the third wife also asked a concubine from her mother's family to help check Xie Jingqi's marriage, but she has not yet received a reply. You know, the third wife's mother's family is just a little girl.

In the household, the third wife is just a concubine. Except for a concubine in the house who has a slightly better relationship, there is almost no one she can rely on.

The person that the concubine married was just a concubine from a fifth-rank official family, but this concubine was a more powerful person than the third wife. I heard that she won the heart of the master in the house, but if she could help the third wife

Madam, that is an extremely trivial thing. Even if you help, judging from the situation of the concubine who can get along well, I am afraid it will not be a good thing.

Considering these circumstances, Mrs. Xie is afraid that Mrs. Xie will have no choice but to control Xie Jingqi's marriage.

Xie Jingya took some free time and went to the third wife's place.

The third bedroom lives in the west courtyard, which is far away from the main courtyard. There are less than ten rooms in total, and the sunlight rarely reaches this courtyard. However, all the people in the third bedroom live here, although everyone can get one.

There is only one room, but compared to other people in the house, such a place to live is quite harsh.

On a snowy day, the courtyard of Sanfang was a bit colder than other courtyards. Fortunately, Xie Jingya's body had long been able to withstand the cold, so she didn't feel any discomfort.

When the maid reported back to the third wife, the third wife couldn't believe it and hurriedly went out to greet her.

"Miss Fifth, why are you here?" The third wife's face was filled with joy and embarrassment.

"Third Aunt, I'm here to see Second Sister. A few days ago, the osmanthus flowers on the sachet she embroidered really pleased me. I had nothing to do today, so I thought about asking Third Sister to help me embroider some more.

Gadgets." Xie Jingya replied with a smile. She also looked amiable and cute, without the arrogance of the past.

"Sit down for a while and come in to have some tea. I will immediately ask the maid to call your second sister." The third wife greeted her hurriedly while asking the maid to call Xie Jingqi.

Seeing that the third wife was very embarrassed, Xie Jingya comforted her and said, "Third Aunt, you don't have to be so polite. Sit down."

"Yes, this is the first time for Miss Fifth to come to Third Aunt's place. Third Aunt doesn't have anything to entertain her." Third Mrs. Holding the handkerchief tightly, she tried hard to find something to say. She was not good at words and didn't know what to say.

Okay, I'm very confused inside.

"When I have free time in the future, if I have nothing to do, I will play with my second sister."

The third wife kept pinching her palms with her nails because she was trying not to ask the fifth lady to do something, but thinking about her young age, she was afraid that she wouldn't understand such things or...if the madam knew about it, then they

The third bedroom will be even more difficult to live with, but if we don’t talk about it, then Jingqi’s future...

Seeing the third wife's face turning red and white, Xie Jingya took the initiative and said: "Third Aunt, what do you want to tell me?"

The third wife looked at her after hearing this, but finally said, "No, third aunt has nothing to say."

As soon as she finished speaking, the third wife wanted to strangle herself to death.

Xie Jingya shook her head. It can be seen that Xie Jingqi's tragedy is inseparable from her timid and cowardly parents.

"Third aunt, yesterday I met a woman from another family in the house. I heard that she came with her master. Later I heard that she seemed to be discussing marriage with my grandmother." Now that I have decided to help Xie Jingqi,

, Xie Jingya took the initiative to start the conversation. If she wanted to wait for the third wife to speak, she might not have the courage to say it even if she left. Finally, she added: "That mother-in-law is not from the Zhongjing Hou Mansion."

"Ah..." The third wife let out a low voice of surprise, "Then... Miss Fifth, do you know whose marriage your grandmother is discussing, and which family she is from?"

The third wife looked at Xie Jingya anxiously.

"I heard that it was the second sister's marriage that was discussed. It seems to be Mr. Qiao, the minister of household affairs."

became cowardly and cowardly.

"Then...Fifth Miss, Third Aunt please help Third Aunt to find out what is going on in Mr. Qiao's house?" After saying that, Third Mrs. knelt down.

Xie Jingya hurriedly stopped her.

"Third aunt, please stop being like this. You are my elder, and the second sister treats me well. I will do my best to help the second sister."

Seeing Xie Jingya's sincere words, the third wife was not so flustered, and slowly expressed her inner thoughts, "Your third uncle and I both have the same temperament. We don't understand the situation inside and outside the house, and we don't know anything on weekdays."

Man, the marriage of your second sister to me, a mother, actually..."

At this point, the third wife couldn't help sobbing. After realizing that she was losing her temper, she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief and continued: "Jingqi has an indifferent temperament. Your third uncle and I don't want to be rich.

I just hope that the other party’s family is simpler, and it doesn’t matter if it’s a simple life, but when I heard you say it’s the household of the Minister of Household Affairs, it’s an official position at the same level as your father, so does the other party’s house have a large population?”

Xie Jingya listened to the third wife's words and understood her expectations for her daughter's marriage. It has to be said that the third wife still loves her daughter very much and understands her daughter's temperament very well. The population is simple and the family background is not too bad. Such a family

It really suits Xie Jingqi's temperament, living a simple life with her husband.

However, coming from such a family, how could Mrs. Xie allow Xie Jingqi to marry an ordinary family? It would be of no use at all.
