The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

After pushing back to the Earl's Mansion, Murong Lizhu's marriage was pending again. The old lady felt sorry for her grandniece who had suffered a difficult life since childhood, and wanted to find the most suitable husband for her, but she was also worried that she was anxious. On this day, I

He ordered the small kitchen to add a few Jiangnan side dishes and invited Murong Lizhu to come over and have dinner together.

The old lady was leaning on the couch waiting for her grandniece to come over to have dinner with her. When Li Ling came, the old lady stood up and said with a smile: "Why did you come here alone? Where is Shu'er?"

Li Ling replied: "I stopped by just after I got off duty, and I haven't gone back yet."

The old lady smiled and said: "I am inviting Lizhu over for dinner today. Since you have caught up, I will order someone to invite Shu'er over soon. You can stay with me for now. In front of my small kitchen

There's a new guy here who can cook southern food, and I taste it well."

Li Lingwan refused: "Let's forget it for today. I came here to tell you something."

The old lady asked: "What's the matter?"

Li Ling replied: "It's about the marriage of cousin Lizhu."

When the old lady heard this, she was surprised and surprised. She smiled and said to her grandson: "Why are you concerned about your cousin Lizhu's marriage? But do you have any suitable candidates around you?"

Li Ling replied directly: "My grandson does have a suitable candidate, and my grandmother also recognizes this person."

When the old lady heard this, she became even more interested and hurriedly asked: "Which prince is he from?"

When the old lady saw that her grandson was talking about Jiang Youchen, she pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "This child came to greet me every now and then during the time he lived in the house. Of course, he has no choice in terms of character and temperament. I am also very good at it."

Take a fancy to this young man."

Although the old lady fell in love with Jiang Youchen, she did find out that his fiancée had passed away without getting married, so she felt a little taboo in her heart. It was also said in Jiangdong that her great-niece was a master of both parents and children.

My wife, such a marriage makes people unhappy no matter what.

Lifting her clothes, Murong Lizhu said: "When I came in just now, I happened to meet my second cousin leaving here. She saw me at the door and looked at me for a while."

Aunt Qiu said repeatedly: "This is really the truth. This is the rule in our capital. I heard that it is even more important outside."

Now that she heard Li Ling speak truthfully, the old lady's heart became lively. Such a man who values ​​love, justice, and responsibility is truly worthy of being entrusted to her.

Murong Lizhu had already reached the age of marriage, and the old lady told her the truth: "How could someone with such a temper as your second cousin notice that his clothes are inappropriate? He just came here to mention your marriage to me.

That’s why I looked at you twice more when I saw you.”

Li Ling replied: "It's my uncle Shu'er's cousin who lived in our house a while ago. His name is Youchen."

The old lady nodded silently: "To be honest, I have already taken a liking to this child."

Li Ling was a cold and solemn person, and he did not like to talk to the women in the house. His sudden behavior today made Murong Lizhu a little puzzled. She looked at the old lady and asked doubtfully: "Is there something wrong with me wearing these clothes?"

The old lady smacked her lips, glanced at Aunt Qiu and said, "Ah Chen, that kid is really good. Oh my! Tell me, why is there nothing perfect in this world?"

After saying that, the old lady hesitated and said: "It's just that I vaguely heard that he had an engagement when he was in Chaozhou."

Aunt Qiu asked tentatively: "Do you think the Jiang family's family background is not good enough?"

What is dignified is the dignified and elegant appearance, which makes people fall in love with her when she sees her.

Li Ling naturally knew about the marriage between Jiang Youchen and Zhou Yuan's wife. He did not hide it and told the old lady everything.

"I was a little taboo about the child's fiancée. Besides, Ah Chen has just been transferred to Beijing, and his parents are in Chaozhou. According to the rules, the bride cannot follow her husband to work abroad. She has to learn the rules at home to serve her parents-in-law.

Wouldn't this be wronging Lizhu?"

The old lady looked at her grandniece with a smile, and couldn't help but turn her head and praise Aunt Qiu: "Look at how handsome this child is. He looks even more dignified and majestic when he puts on our winter clothes."

The old lady hurriedly stood up and greeted her: "The winter in Beijing is not as good as ours. Come and sit on the warm couch."

As soon as Li Ling heard this, he knew that his grandmother had already fallen in love with Jiang Youchen. She must have ordered someone to inquire about it in private, otherwise how could she know about Jiang Youchen's ridiculous marriage in Chaozhou.

Although Murong Lizhu was loved by the old lady in the house, she never relied on her favor to become arrogant. She bowed to the old lady in a polite manner, then slowly walked to the old lady, leaned down and sat on the edge of the cave, smiling.

He replied: "Although it is cold in the winter in Beijing, the ermine skin shawl that my aunt gave me is the warmest. I don't feel cold even when I walk outside."

The master and servant were talking about Murong Lizhu here, and the woman at the door came in and replied: "Old madam, Miss Lizhu is here."

Li Ling saw that his grandmother seemed to be moved, so he was not in a hurry to let the old man express his position. He only said: "It is a life-long matter for my cousin. Grandma will think about it for a while, but as for Ah Chen's character and talent, my grandson can guarantee it."

The old lady waved her hand and said: "I don't care about this. As long as the family is an official with a clean family background and can treat Lizhu well, it doesn't matter if the family background is poor."

Aunt Qiu replied: "Of course you can't go wrong with someone who can please the prince. Besides, this child has lived in our house for a while. Although I have never dealt with him, I think he is a polite person."

"

After hearing this, the old lady was quite emotional. It was normal for the children of this powerful family to be forced into marriage in order to maintain the family status. However, Jiang Youchen was not interested in such a marriage, which was originally an exchange of interests, but he was able to treat his fiancée with kindness.

The doctor asked for medicine, and then went to meet him regardless of etiquette to fulfill his wish. This kind of responsibility made the old lady quite moved.

After Li Ling left, the old lady looked at Aunt Qiu and asked, "What do you think of this child Achen?"

Saying that, Murong Lizhu opened the curtain and entered the room. She was wearing a ermine shawl, and underneath was a Hunan concubine-colored skirt. Her hair was pulled into a wishful bun, with a jasper hairpin inserted diagonally.

, the temples are only decorated with hairpins made of ruby ​​beads.

As she said that, the old lady smiled at Aunt Qiu and said, "Lizhu has been in the house for so long, and I'm afraid he hasn't even taken a close look at her. Today, the sun is also rising in the west, and she actually came here to say that the matchmaker is here."

In the past, other people who mentioned Murong Lizhu would also mention it to Murong Lizhu if the old lady liked them. However, Murong Lizhu was always shy and did not show any attitude. She only said that it was up to the old lady to make the decision.

Today, when she heard the old lady mention Li Ling as a matchmaker, she felt a sense of empathy and asked, "I wonder who the second cousin is talking about?"

The old lady was a little surprised to see her grandniece talking about this matter, but then she thought about how the child was so old, and it was normal for her to care about her own marriage, so she told her: "Your second cousin is here for you."

The person I mentioned is your second cousin-in-law’s maternal cousin.”

When Murong Lizhu heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she blurted out, "But the one named Jiang Youchen who stayed in the house temporarily a while ago?"
