Chapter 496: Descending the Noble (7)
"Yes, three girls."
Lily was forced to leave, she avoided the old maid, and soon came to Jinhuayuan quietly.
She jumped up, climbed on the roof of the flower hall, picked up a tile, looked inside, and saw a woman with round cheeks sitting in the guest seat in the flower hall, talking to Mrs. Zhao with a smile on her face. talking...
"Mrs. Nangong, take the liberty to come here, hoping not to disturb Madam."
Zhao Shi hurriedly said: "Madam, what are you talking about, I can't even ask you to come here."
Mrs. Liu picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and said, "I'm relieved after saying that, Madam." The smile on her face deepened, and she praised meaningfully, "I heard that your son has outstanding talents and good character. Madam has this son, it is really a good fortune that has been cultivated in several generations."
At first, Mrs. Zhao was confused about Mrs. Liu's sudden visit, but now that she mentioned Brother Cheng and remembered Mrs. Liu's identity, she suddenly felt blessed, and a thought flashed in her mind.
Could it be...
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhao said modestly: "Where, where, you are too complimented. How can you compare to Ling Lang."
Mrs. Liu's eldest son was a former Jinshi and was admitted to the Imperial Academy of Shuji Shi. As the saying goes, "A non-jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and a non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet." With the support of the Liu family, it can be said that he has an unlimited future. At present, it is indeed much better than Nangong Sheng.
Madam Liu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Madam is too modest, Young Master Ling has great fortune." After speaking, she changed her words and said with a smile, "I wonder if Young Master Ling is engaged?"
Zhao said in his heart, "Sure enough," and said with a smile on his face: "Naturally not yet. Our old lady said it herself that Brother Cheng's daughter-in-law needs her consent. She didn't nod her head. Dare to make a marriage contract for Brother Cheng easily?"
"The old lady is doing her best for the eldest son's marriage. It can be seen that he really cares for the eldest son." Madam Liu said a good word, "The son has both morals and talents, and has outstanding appearance. I have a family here who don't know about the old man. Do you and your wife like it?"
Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and asked cautiously, "Mrs. Liu, who is the lady?"
Mrs. Liu smiled very enthusiastically, and said vaguely: "Young master Ling is such a talented person, I'm afraid that only girls from the royal family's family are worthy of..."
The girl of the royal family? Zhao's heart is even more joyful.
"That girl inherits the title of Marquis, and her grandmother is from the royal family. She has an aunt who is the master of the first palace. The girl herself is as beautiful as a flower, she is deeply favored, and has a cheerful and straightforward personality... and Young Master Ling is a golden boy created by heaven. A pair of jade girls." Madam Liu said with a smile, "How about Madam Nangong?"
"Such an excellent girl is naturally excellent." Zhao's heart was made up, but he asked again, "I also ask Mrs. Liu to forgive me for taking the liberty. I don't know which mansion this girl is from?"
Mrs. Liu no longer detours, and said bluntly: "It's the girl from the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion."
She got a positive reply, and Zhao's promises disappeared. Her heart was full of joy, but she said implicitly: "The girl in the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion is the pearl of the royal capital. All are excellent, not only me, but even our old lady will be happy!"
Mrs. Liu was also very satisfied, and her second aunt asked her to come and explore this tone. Naturally, everyone was happy with such a result.
The two people in the house were still chatting, and Lily, who was lying on the roof, was yawning boredly. After another half an hour, Mrs. Liu was finally sent away by Mrs. Zhao, and Lily returned to Mo successfully. Zhuyuan reported everything she heard to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue's eyes widened, and she muttered to herself in surprise: "No way..." After a while, she seemed to regain her voice and said with a wry smile, "Oh, no wonder, the aunt changed her mind. To cancel the engagement between eldest brother and sister Liu, so, so that's how it is..."
Nangong Yue stroked her forehead with her hand. She couldn't help but remember that when she was on an outing in Cuiwei Mountain last time, Qu Jiayue was very warm to her eldest sister and herself. , it's kind of funny. Just when did Qu Jiayue fall in love with the big brother... Nangong Yue didn't believe that this would be the meaning of the Marquis of Pingyang. After all, compared to the Qu family of the Marquis of Pingyang, the current Nangong family is too insignificant.
how should I do it……
Nangong Yue lowered her head and pondered, the elder brother and sister Liu had already had a marriage contract, and what the Zhao family did was really damaging to the reputation of the Nangong family, and this must not be tolerated!
It can only be this way!
It looks like her happy "grounding time" is coming to an end...
Nangong Yue got up, straightened her clothes, and said solemnly, "Yimei, come with me."
Yimei responded and said, "Yes. Three girls!"
