The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Mrs. Cui liked to hear her grandson's praises. She didn't know what she thought of, and the smile on her face fell again: "It's because I, the grandmother, didn't do enough, so I threw him alone in the other courtyard in the south. I can't see him all year round." I've been there several times and finally returned home, but... this time, I have to find a good match for him no matter what, so that he doesn't go back again."

Hongshang knew the knot in Mrs. Cui's heart, but she was a slave, and she could not resolve the knot in her master's heart, so she remained silent.

At this moment, a woman about thirty years old and elegantly dressed walked in. I saw that the woman had a noble temperament, beautiful facial features, and the gentleness and quietness between her eyebrows was the most attractive.

The woman is the aunt Hongshang mentioned, Cui Qingrou, the aunt of the seventh master of the Cui family. She is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Cui. When she was eighteen years old, she married the Min family in the south, which is also a century-old family. Unfortunately, the children are not close, and they have not been together for ten years. pregnant.

She didn't want to see her husband's family look down upon her, and she didn't want to see her once sworn husband being carried back home from concubine to concubine in an attempt to name his concubine as his legitimate son, so he invited himself to the court and walked out of Min's house with his dowry. , under the supervision of his mother and brother, he returned to the capital and brought back his nephew Cui Pingan, who was also in the south and refused to come back.

In the whole house, she and Cui Ping'an were the only ones who came to Mrs. Cui's yard and did not need to notify them.

"Daughter, please say hello to your mother!" Cui Qingrou stepped forward to greet Mrs. Cui Fuli, her voice was like hers, giving people a gentleness and tranquility like flowing water.

"You kid, you said you don't need to be polite to mother." Mrs. Cui said angrily, beckoning Cui Qingrou to sit next to her.

Hongshang quickly moved a chair and placed it in front of Mrs. Cui.

Cui Qingrou smiled slightly, stood up and sat down in front of Mrs. Cui calmly. After asking about her mother's diet and daily life in detail, she asked softly: "Mother, my daughter heard that you sent a matchmaker to Mo's house to propose marriage to Xiao Qi. Can the marriage be done? ?”

Mrs. Cui's eyes flashed with unknown meaning and she shook her head: "The Mo family refused."

Cui Qingrou was slightly stunned, refused? Did someone really reject the Cui family's marriage proposal?

"Are you surprised?" A faint smile appeared on Mrs. Cui's face: "Mother is also surprised."

Cui Qingrou couldn't figure out what her mother was thinking, so she tentatively said, "I'm afraid our family is being negligent. We should have someone with status go with the matchmaker to show our sincerity."

"Do you think mother can't think of it?" Mrs. Cui said lightly, with a bit of satisfaction on her face: "If under such circumstances, the Mo family can still agree to this marriage, it can be seen that they are also the kind of people who are like the dragon and the phoenix. How many good girls can be brought up by others? Mother didn't expect that the Mo family would refuse for such a reason. It didn't sound like they were deliberately trying to take advantage of Qiao. Let's see again. If she is really good, next time If we go again, we can settle it for our Xiaoqi."

The Mo family could clearly see who they were, and the reason for their rejection was true. On the contrary, Mrs. Cui took a high look at her and made up her mind to get married.

Cui Qingrou finally understood the deeper meaning of her mother's move and couldn't help but ask: "Since mother is worried about this, why not choose a marriage for Xiao Qi from a high-class family?"

Mrs. Cui sighed and looked a little sad: "You don't want to be a mother? But Xiaoqi is a concubine after all, and there is someone above her. Do you really think someone is willing to marry Xiaoqi with a good legitimate daughter? Concubine... ...It's not that there are no good ones, but the identity is a bit inferior. I'm afraid that he will molest such a bastard wife without any scruples. How can such a person be willing to treat Xiao Qi wholeheartedly after being wronged by our Cui family? Although the girl from the Mo family is said to have a poor background and is very low-key in the capital, she is actually a county prince who has been personally given the title by the Holy Emperor. She is only one level different from the princess in status, and her father is on good terms with the Prince's Palace and Wu'an Palace. , as long as she is not stupid, these are the best talismans, and she can be more cautious and not go too far; selfishly, mother also hopes that our Xiaoqi will marry a daughter-in-law with a respectable status, so that no one will despise him. , someone will protect him in the future, my mother will grow old one day, and she can’t protect our Xiaoqi for the rest of her life."
