Liu Er Fanwai (Sixty-Six)
Jiaojiao struggled for a long time, but in the end Liu'er couldn't hold her back, so she could only let her go and let her stop being a female celebrity.
Liu'er shook her head and sighed softly: "Now it seems that your grandmother is calmer than me. The Xu family is really not suitable for you." The Du family will not require their girls to be female celebrities, so they know Jiaojiao female celebrities No way and no idea. But the members of the Xu family may not be so.
At that time, she also felt that the Xu family was not suitable for Jiaojiao, but she was shaken because Xu Wenchang was too good. So, it's her mother who can hold on.
Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Mom, you don't have to be so entangled if you told me about this earlier."
Liu Er looked suspicious.
Jiaojiao said: "Because even if you agree, I will not agree to marry Xu Wenchang."
"Don't tell me, you don't know that Xu Wenchang went to the Duke's mansion to propose marriage?" Liu'er, a mother, didn't believe it, let alone other people.
Jiaojiao said with a smile: "I know! It's just that I thought you would refuse, so I didn't bother."
Liu'er was so depressed. I struggled with my feelings for a few days, and it was all a mess.
However, Liu Er still asked: "Even your grandmother praised Xu Wenchang, why didn't you like him?"
The problem is, she also thinks Xu Wenchang is very good! A twenty-three-year-old civil servant of the fifth grade, he did not rely on any help and relied entirely on his own ability.
Jiaojiao played tricks: "I won't tell you why, as long as you know that I won't agree to marry him."
Liu'er was not a curious person either, she didn't ask Jiaojiao if she didn't talk about it.
After thinking for a while, Liu'er and Jiaojiao said: "From now on, you have to take care of the princess mansion yourself. From tomorrow onwards, you and Mimi will take care of the middle class of the Duke's mansion." Tangtang was married at the beginning of the year, Now there are only two girls left in the Duke's Mansion, Jiaojiao and Mimi.
This, Jiaojiao did not refuse: "Okay." The female celebrity will not be indifferent, anyway, there is a embroiderer at home. If not, there is the Ministry of Internal Affairs! But this common chore must be learned well, which is related to her quality of life in the future.
Although the school taught how to manage housekeeping and directors, it was all theoretical and lacked practice. The mouse, Jiaojiao, helped Qiqi with some simple affairs before, so this time she and Mimi took care of the Zhongfu of the Duke's Mansion, and she was not nervous.
Liu'er nodded slightly, and said again: "Your aunt and I both have a dowry of one hundred and eight lifts, and I will prepare a dowry of one hundred and eight lifts for you."
Because Zao Zao and Liu Er are princesses, and their dowry is 108 levies, it is naturally impossible for others to surpass them. For this reason, the maximum amount of dowry carried by girls in the capital is one hundred and eight. If you feel less, you can make the box bigger.
"Mother, it's up to you to decide." Anyway, her dowry is definitely not thin.
The mother and daughter talked again, and Jiaojiao went back to her yard.
As soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Yinhong, the personal servant girl, came over and said in a low voice, "Princess, the third girl is waiting for you in the house. Princess, the third girl is probably here for that." As a personal servant girl, Yinhong knows many things. But she kept her mouth tight and didn't reveal a single word.
"Understood." After finishing speaking, Jiaojiao entered the room.
Mimi also let her maid go out. This servant girl didn't grow up with her since childhood, but was brought up last year.
After Jiaojiao sat down, she smiled and said, "Third Sister came just in time. My mother just got some baskets of lychees. This time the lychees are big and very sweet."
But Mimi was not in the mood to say this, and asked, "Jiaojiao, why did you reject Wenchang?"
Hearing this, Jiaojiao's face darkened: "Third sister, how can you call Wenchang?" Not to mention, Mimi is still engaged. This is going to be heard by outsiders, and I don't know what will come out!
Mimi changed her face slightly, but she changed her words: "Jiaojiao, Xu Zhuangyuan is not worthy of you, why did you refuse?" What the queen mother promised, if Jiaojiao insists on marrying, no one can stop her.
"Xu Zhuangyuan is very good, but I am not suitable for him."
Mimi was a little excited: "Do you think he came from a poor family? Jiaojiao,
With his talent, he will be able to rise to the top in the future. If you marry him, you will have endless blessings in the future. "
Hearing this, Jiaojiao laughed and said: "Sister, if I don't marry him, I will still enjoy endless glory and wealth." She is the emperor's niece, as long as she doesn't do anything rebellious, she will have nothing to worry about in her life. questionable.
After finishing speaking, Jiaojiao said seriously: "Third sister, you will get married next year, and I will also be engaged soon. If this is the case, don't talk about it in the future. If not, I won't hide it for you again. When the time comes, I will marry you." Will relay these words to my aunt."
Mimi felt that she was doing it for Jiaojiao's own good, and said angrily when she heard this, "Jiaojiao, you will definitely regret it."
"Third Sister, just take care of yourself. You don't need to worry about my affairs." Regret? She has nothing to regret. Du Zhaozhang is not a prodigal son, he is also a good young man who works hard. Although it cannot be compared with Xu Wenchang, it is still one of the best in the capital.
Honey walked away angrily.
Yinhong served a plate of lychees just fished out of the well. He took a lychee and peeled it, and handed the white flesh to Jiaojiao: "Princess, the magistrate is no worse than Xu Zhuangyuan, why is the third lady so sure that you will regret it?" In fact, she also felt that Du Zhaozhang More suitable for Jiaojiao. Without him, the living environment of the two is not much different, which can reduce a lot of friction.
Jiaojiao ate the lychee, and then said: "She likes Xu Wenchang and thinks he is very good. I don't deny that Xu Wenchang is very good, but the problem is that we don't know anything about the rest of the Xu family. Unlike the Du family I know everyone, except for my future mother-in-law who has a bit of a bad mouth, everyone else is easy to get along with." Marrying Du Zhaozhang, the future can be foreseen. But marrying Xu Wenchang, there are too many uncertainties in the future. Jiaojiao didn't dare to take risks for such a life-long event. I would rather be moderate than to gamble. If you lose this, you will lose it for the rest of your life.
"If the third girl can think through these things, she won't bother you anymore, the princess." People who are engaged to each other still miss Xu Zhuangyuan, and they don't even know what the three girls are for you! If the future third son-in-law knows, it will not be easy in the future.
Jiaojiao said: "I hope she can figure it out before she gets married." If she can't figure it out, she can't blame others for her unhappiness in the future.
Yinhong said with some perplexity: "Princess, the third girl just met Xu Zhuangyuan, how come they are engaged and still miss it?" Xu Zhuangyuan is good-looking, but he doesn't know his family background or whether he is married. The girl has a deep-rooted affection for others, which is too much.
"It's Xu Wenchang's fault. A big man looks so good-looking, but he's attracted to those big girls and young wives." Only Xu Wenchang's looks made Jiaojiao dissatisfied. There are too many peach blossoms, which is troublesome.
Last year, she and Mimi took advantage of the seven-seven lunch break to go out of Lingshan Temple with guards. As a result, on the road, I saw Xu Wenchang and several young scholars who were having fun. When Mimi saw Xu Wenchang, she couldn't walk anymore.
Yinhong covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Princess, it's just that you think differently. I don't know how many girls in the capital want to marry Xu Zhuangyuan!"
"Look at it! With this face, I will be annoying when I become her wife." After finishing speaking, Jiaojiao smiled: "But I think many people would like to be annoyed like this."
In fact, what she told Liu Er just now was not all the truth. After hearing that Xu Wenchang came to propose marriage, Jiaojiao was also moved. This man, what a shame. Being courted by such a talented person is a matter of great dignity. But seeing Xu Wenchang in the garden, she gave up this idea.
Mimi has a deep-rooted affection for Xu Wenchang, and never forgets her engagement. If she really married Xu Wenchang, the cousin would miss her husband, and Jiaojiao couldn't bear it. Therefore, even without Yuxi, she would refuse.
Mimi came to look for Jiaojiao with an angry face, and then left angrily, this matter quickly spread to Qiqi's ears.
Qiqi suppressed the anger in her heart, and didn't go to Mimi's room until after dinner.
After entering the room and waving everyone away, Qiqi sat down and asked, "You went to Jiaojiao, are you asking about Xu Wenchang?"
Mimi didn't dare to admit it, otherwise she would definitely be severely punished: "No, just talk to her."
"That's the best. Mimi, mother is doing this for your own good."
Jiaojiao said so, Qiqi also said so. Mimi couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately asked: "Mother, why do you think that marrying Xu Wenchang is not a good life?"
"The Empress Dowager is the most accurate judge of people. She thinks that Xu Wenchang is not suitable for Jiaojiao, so there must be nothing wrong?" It was Yuxi who met Xu Wenchang in the garden, and this is not a secret in the Duke's Mansion.
Mimi's voice suddenly rose: "Mom, Jiaojiao is not suitable, but it doesn't mean I am not suitable either."
Seeing Mimi's appearance, Qiqi smiled wryly and said, "You don't think about food and drink for Xu Wenchang. After mother knew the reason, she sent someone to inquire about Xu Wenchang's background. Knowing that he was talented and unmarried, mother asked someone to spy on him." but Xu Wenchang declined, saying that he has a sweetheart."
Mimi was stunned for a moment, she really didn't know about it. After a while, Mimi couldn't help asking: "Mother, who did you ask to find out?"
"Princess Xuan." Dai Yanxin's nephew was on good terms with Xu Wenchang, and she was tight-lipped. If things don't work out, she won't say anything about it.
In fact, when Dai Yanxin heard Xu Wenchang say that he had a sweetheart, he didn't even reveal the identity of the woman. So Xu Wenchang didn't know that Mimi fell in love with him.
Mimi looked sad.
Qiqi held Mimi's hand and said: "Mi'er, mother is very grateful that he refused that day."
Mimi raised her head and said, "Mother, do you trust the eyes of the Empress Dowager so much? Mother, the Empress Dowager sometimes misses her. Mother, Jiaojiao will definitely regret it in the future."
With this appearance, it was clear that she still hadn't come out from inside, but Qi Qi didn't argue with her, she just said: "You are already engaged, don't think about it. Marry into the Han family and live a good life with Jingshan. "
Mimi lowered her head again.
Qiqi won't say any more, as long as Mimi doesn't make trouble, she can get married in peace of mind. When she gets married and has children, she will feel naive when she thinks about her current behavior.
