Chapter 90 Yu Ru's Engagement (2)
Yuxi roughly guessed that when Yuru came over, she probably asked her something.
Yuru told Yuxi her reason for coming: "Fourth younger sister is on good terms with Miss Jiang Xin. I wonder if Jiang Xin has mentioned anything about the Xiang family?" If she had no choice, she would have nothing to say. There are many choices, but I am afraid of choosing the wrong one, so I am really entangled.
Yuxi was silent for a moment, then said: "It seems that I have heard Jiang Xin talk about the Xiang family."
Yuru's eyes lit up: "Really? What did Miss Jiang Xin say?" It was just a chance, but I didn't expect it to happen.
Yuxi used to think that Yuru married well in her previous life, but that was based on her previous life's concept. But now it seems that Mrs. Xiang is not an easy person to get along with, and Xiang Zhixue is not someone who can be entrusted with her life: "Jiang Xin said that her cousin and Mrs. Xiang have a bad relationship, and she will not go back to her mother's house after she gets married. What exactly happened? I don't know, but I have met Jiang Xin's cousin and aunt, she is a very kind and kind person."
Yuru's face froze, Jiang Xin's cousin and aunt were easy to get along with, so Mrs. Xiang must be a difficult person to get along with: "What about the fourth young master of the Xiang family?"
This question is really not up to standard. Which girl would carelessly discuss foreign men, it's okay to let people know!
Yuxi shook her head and said: "Jiang Xin didn't say anything about it. But yesterday I went to the main courtyard and heard a few words from my aunt, and I also know some basic information about the fourth young master." After a pause, Yuxi said: "I have some My personal opinion, I don’t know if Elder Sister wants to hear it.”
Yu Ru hurriedly nodded and said, "Sister Si, tell me."
Yuxi said: "Fourth Young Master Xiang is sixteen this year, and he didn't even pass the examination as a scholar. I guess there is no hope for the imperial examination. Although the Fourth Young Master Xiang is the eldest son, he is the third son. , The resources used by the family on him will not be many, and the future is limited. In addition, the fourth young master Xiang is the youngest son, I don’t know if the elder sister has heard a word, called the elder grandson and the younger son, the lifeblood of the old lady.”
Yuru was not stupid either, and said, "Master Xiang Si is the youngest son of the family."
Yuxi nodded and said: "Yes, Fourth Young Master Xiang is Mrs. Xiang's youngest son, and also the most beloved son. Generally, children who are favored are more casual in their actions. He just wants to be happy with himself and won't care about others." To be clear, this kind of selfishness is more selfish. I only have myself in my heart. As long as I live well, I will never care about other people's lives. Not all young sons are like this, but Xiang Zhixue is such a person.
Yu Ru was taken aback by Yu Xi's words.
Yuxi did not pause, and continued: "Let's talk about Master Zeng's family again. I heard from my aunt that Master Zeng had studied and his martial arts is also very good. Now that he has an official position, he will definitely have a good future in the future. But there is a problem with him. There are not many, first of all, it is difficult to be a concubine and daughter-in-law, I heard that Mrs. Zeng is still a difficult one, the second Mr. Zeng will definitely not get any family property in the future, and the third Mr. Zeng is a military general, if he goes to the battlefield, he will be in danger." Of course, danger also means opportunity.
What Yu Xi said was roughly the same as Yu Qingxuan, but what Yu Xi said was more detailed and clear.
Yuru hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Fourth sister, who do you think I should choose?"
Qing Xuan wanted to cover her face, what kind of stupid question was her girl asking. You can come over and ask for information, but how can you let the fourth girl help you make a choice.
Yuxi laughed and said: "This is the big sister's lifelong event, you have to make up your own mind." She can help Yuru analyze it, but she definitely can't help her make up her mind.
Yuru was still confused.
Seeing this, Yuxi didn't say anything, just sat aside and waited. It was still Qingxuan who saw that something was wrong, and gently pushed Yuru.
After Yuru came to her senses, she said, "Thank you, Fourth Sister, for today's matter."
Yuxi smiled and said: "Why are you being so polite?
We are all a family, so naturally we are looking forward to seeing you well. I think if you are really in doubt, you can ask your grandmother or great aunt. They have more life experience than us, and they will see things in a longer and more thorough way. "
Yuru hesitated for a moment, and said, "Big sister, you said that I want to meet the two of them, what do you think?" After meeting to make a decision, she would feel more at ease.
This Yuxi has no way to give advice: "Eldest sister can ask auntie. If auntie agrees, then it's fine."
Yuru herself was embarrassed to mention it, so she told Yuxi specifically that she hoped Yuxi could help her to mention it to her mother. It's a pity that Yuxi didn't pick her up.
After sending Yuru away, Yuxi and Zisu said: "Qingxuan beside Yuru is pretty good." To be able to persuade Yuru when she does something wrong, and give her advice when she is struggling, it is better not to pinch her on weekdays. It is also Yuru's blessing to have such a maid.
Zisu nodded and said, "Qingxuan is really good."
After struggling for three days, Yuru finally mustered up the courage to tell Qiu that she wanted to meet someone before making a decision.
Qiu Shi is also a good talker, knowing Yu Ru's meaning, nodded and said: "I'll mention this to the Xiang family, there shouldn't be a big problem." Seeing Yu Ru's tangled face, Qiu Shi said: "First If you feel good about meeting the people of the Xiang family, you don’t have to see Mr. Zeng’s again.”
Yuru nodded her head: "I listen to my mother."
After a few days, Yuru went out with Qiushi. That afternoon, Yuxi heard that Yuru had agreed to the Xiang family's marriage.
Yuxi sighed softly, Xiang Zhixue is very good-looking, with red lips and white teeth, and his appearance is outstanding, but this is all he can do in his whole body, he has no talent at all, and he has also developed the habit of spending money like water. If Yuru chooses him, life will definitely be difficult in the future.
Qingxuan happened to be a little unwell this day, so she didn't follow her. Hearing that Yuru had chosen Xiang Zhixue, she was completely dumbfounded: "Girl, didn't we agree to go to see Master Xiang's family first, and then Master Zeng's family? Why did you agree?"
A blush appeared on Yuru's face.
Seeing this, Qingxuan didn't understand, her girl had taken a fancy to Mr. Xiang's family. Qingxuan was not complete at this time, Brick called Qingye who was going with him, and asked what happened when his girl met Mr. Xiang. Qing Xuan asked very carefully, she wanted to know all the details. With the score in mind, I went to find Yuru.
Yuru looked at Qingxuan who was kneeling on the ground, and was shocked: "What's the matter?"
Qing Xuan said: "Girl, I beg you to go and refuse this marriage with Madam!"
Yuru stared at Qingxuan and said, "Do you know what you're talking about?" Don't say she won't refuse. Even if she could, she promised her mother, and her mother would reject her if she kept her promise.
Qingxuan said: "Girl, I heard Qingye talk about the process of meeting today. Girl, to say something that is not pleasant, to the fourth young master, this is a golden jade. If the girl chooses her, she will definitely have to suffer in the future." of the head."
Yuru was in a hurry: "You are presumptuous."
Qingxuan raised her head and said: "Girl, even if you drive your servant away today, you still have to say it. To the Fourth Young Master, if you reward someone today, it will be ten taels of silver. Girl, if you just reward a maid who tells you, it will be ten taels of silver. It can be seen that he has no restraint in spending money on weekdays. Spending money to the fourth young master is like running water, and he has no ability to make money. In the future, even if he gets more family property, how long can he support it. Girl, I heard Qingye say that the fourth young master will grow up. It's very good. But a man can't support a family, so what's the use of being good-looking? Good-looking can't be eaten."
At that time, Xiang Zhixue just wanted to make a good impression, that's why he made such a generous move. But he forgot that what he spent was not his own money, but his parents' money.
Qingxuan's words were like pouring cold water on Yuru's head, making her wake up instantly. She only has six taels of silver a month, and the fourth young master of the Xiang family can reward a maid with ten taels of silver, which is not enough for him to squander.
Qingxuan said: "There is an old saying that is good, marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat. Although this is vulgar, it is not rough. Girl, you can't support the family like the fourth young master. Now you can Master Xiang and Madam Xiang, what about in the future? Master Xiang and Madam Xiang after a hundred years?" Marrying such a man, not to mention hard work, is not good.
Yuru was upset by Qingxuan's words.
Qingxuan said: "Girl, although I haven't met the young master of the Zeng family, all I know is what my wife told the fourth girl, but there must be something special that can make the second master fall in love with him." , People who have a good relationship with Han Jianye are good in every way.
Seeing that Yu Ruyi moved, Qingxuan kept on talking more and more, and kept chanting for most of the night. Although Yuru didn't respond immediately, she tossed and turned in bed while sleeping.
After thinking about it for most of the night, Yuru still felt that what Qingxuan said was right, to marry someone who is able to support the family, not a prodigal: "Qingxuan, but I promised my mother yesterday. Now I say I don't want to marry Go to Xiang's house and tell my mother what to think, and my mother will definitely be angry."
Qingxuan said: "Girl, Madam will scold the girl at most, it's nothing compared to lifelong events." Qingxuan will work so hard to persuade Yuru, partly for Yuru, and partly for herself. She is Yuru's personal maid, and she will definitely be married as a dowry in the future. Married to the Xiang family, there are many people who are right and wrong, and the fourth young master Xiang is incapable. It will be even worse if the master doesn't treat them well in the future. But if you marry into the Zeng family, even if Mrs. Zeng is difficult, you just have to deal with it carefully. As for the fact that Master Zeng will not be able to share the family property in the future, men can earn the family property by themselves if they are capable.
Yuru summoned up all her courage, took a pair of shoes made for Qiu Shi, and went to the main courtyard with a pair of panda eyes. Seeing Qiu Shi, he lowered his head and said that he didn't want to marry to Xiang's family.
Qiu Shi was stunned: "Didn't you agree yesterday?" If you regret what you promised yesterday, it's a child's play for marriage!
Yuru didn't even dare to look at Qiu's face, and told the truth according to the method Qingxuan taught: "Mother, yesterday I saw that Fourth Young Master Xiang looks good, so I agreed on the spur of the moment. But I thought about it last night." One night, after thinking about it, I felt that it was not right. What is the use of a man who is good-looking, and he can’t be eaten. Marriage still has to be able to marry, and a man can only shelter his wife and children if he has the ability. "
After speaking, he glanced cautiously at Qiu Shi, seeing that Qiu Shi didn't speak in a daze, he felt uneasy, but he didn't know what to say. (to be continued)
