Out of the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Taininghou invited Mrs. Zhou again. went out with Han Jiatou, saying that he was going to invite an official matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage.

Large families are very rigorous, and they will come to the door to propose marriage when they get a definite answer. Otherwise, let the matchmaker come to the door and the other party refuses, and the face will not look good.

This time, the eldest lady of the Zhou family went to the Han family and went directly to the upper courtyard and told Mrs. Han about it. Mrs. Zhou said: "Auntie, this family affair is really difficult to find with a lantern. "Mrs. Zhou's daughter Zhou Shihua is already married, and if she has a daughter, she will be moved.

Old Madam Han nodded very simply in agreement, and she didn't need to bother with Mrs. Zhou's words. Not to mention that Chen Ran himself is very good, as far as the Chen family's family is concerned, Yuxi will not lose money when he marries.

Mrs. Zhou thought it would take a lot of talk, but she didn't expect the old lady to be so refreshing: "Yuxi, this child, is really blessed." Chen Ran didn't know how many people looked at him, but in the end, this family affair fell on Yuxi's head, not a blessing.

As soon as the eldest lady of the Zhou family left, Mrs. Han instructed Mrs. Luo and said, "You go over and call Yuxi over." "If it was before, the old lady would definitely have asked someone to inform Yuxi and it would be over. But now the situation is different, and she agreed to the Qiu family again, so she still has to tell Yuxi in person.

When Yuxi saw Luo's mother, she knew that something was wrong when she heard the old lady call her, and it was not small. Because it's okay, the old lady won't call her, let alone let Mother Luo come over in person.

didn't hesitate, Yuxi immediately followed Luo's mother to the upper courtyard. On the way, he pretended to be very casual and asked, "Mom, why is my grandmother looking for me?"

Luo's mother smiled and said, "It's a good thing that the girl will know when she arrives in the upper courtyard." If it weren't for the fact that the old lady's expression was a little stern at that time, she felt wrong, and she would definitely sue Yuxi for this happy event now.

Yuxi sighed in her heart, a good thing, what good thing can she have now besides her relatives? Thinking of her relatives, Yuxi asked, "Mother Luo, is your cousin here?"

Luo's mother smiled, didn't nod, and didn't deny it. The fourth girl is not what it used to be now, and if she gets such a good family affair again, she will really turn over completely.

Yuxi suddenly had a number in his heart.

When the old lady saw Yuxi, she didn't play any dumb riddles, and directly said the intention of the eldest lady of the Zhou family to come: "I heard your mother say, are you dissatisfied with the Chen family's family affairs?"

Yuxi was prepared, and his answer was naturally perfect: "Grandmother, the Taining Marquis Mansion is more powerful than our Guogong Mansion, and Chen Ran is Xie Yuan, whether it is the family background or Chen Ran, it is impossible to find a trace of bad things." I've heard that even the eldest lady of the Yu family wants to marry her daughter to him!"

The old lady looked immobile and asked, "If you have anything to say, you don't need to beat around the bush." "This girl is very transparent, maybe she really says something different.

Yuxi said: "Grandmother, I feel strange just because this family business is so good. Grandmother, how could someone like the Marquis of Taining take a fancy to me? It's not that I'm arrogant, and I really don't deserve Chen Ran on my terms. If nothing else, just because I have such a bad reputation, it is impossible for Mrs. Taininghou to take a fancy to me. After a pause, Yuxi said to the old lady: "Grandmother, if it were you, would you marry your son a daughter-in-law who is destined to fail?"

The old lady's eyes narrowed, and she said, "Do you think the Chen family wants to marry you with other plans? But what do they want from you? What do you have to make them calculate?" The old lady's words can be said to hit the nail on the head. Not to mention that Yuxi didn't let the Chen family calculate, even the Han family didn't have anything to make the Chen family plot.

Yuxi had to say that Jiang was still old and spicy, and she had nothing to say at once, but fortunately, she was also prepared, and said: "Grandmother, I don't know what they want, but I don't think the Chen family is as good as the rumors outside." At least as far as I know, the Chen family is in crisis. "The next heir, followed by a traitorous prince, can there be no danger!

The gleam in the old lady's eyes flashed: "What crisis?"

Yuxi briefly said about the possible treason of the Nine Emperor Princes, and then said: "The Chen family has pressed the treasure on the body of the Nine Emperor Princes, once the treason of the Nine Emperor Princes is exposed, even if the Chen family does not destroy the clan, it will have to suffer a heavy blow." ”

The old lady's hand holding the Buddha beads trembled twice, but this action was very vague, and Yuxi didn't see it: "Your eldest brother sued you about this?"

Yuxi nodded and said, "It's the eldest brother who sued me." Before, I asked my eldest brother to help me check on Sister Xinrong's affairs, and I accidentally heard these words. ”

The old lady's sharp eyes seem to be able to see through people, Jianming is a very uncautious person, no one knows better than her. How could such an important matter be accidentally let Yuxi hear it. The old lady didn't need to ask, she knew that this matter must have been deliberately let by Han Jianming Yuxi. As for why Han Jianming did this, the old lady didn't know, and Han Jianming didn't say that she didn't ask.

Yuxi was stared at by the old lady and her scalp was numb, but she still stiffened up and did not show a trace of timidity.

After half a ring, the old lady turned the Buddhist beads in her hand again and said, "If you don't agree to the Chen family's marriage because of this matter, you don't have to." Even if what the Nine Emperor Princes did was really revealed, the Chen family would be fine. ”

Yuxi looked puzzled and asked, "Does the Chen family have such great power?" If that incident broke out and the Chen family could still escape, what a deep background!

The old lady said slowly: "It is the emperor's intention for the Hou Shizi of Taining to assist the Nine Emperor Princes, not to obtain the merit of the dragon. The Nine Emperors did this more than ten years ago, and the Hou Shizi of Taining did not follow him at that time, even if this matter broke out, the Chen family would be able to get out. "But this thing really broke out, and the Hou Shizi of Taining must have to fold into it.

It would be better for the old lady to break out. Once the treason broke out, the Nine Emperors would have no chance to take the throne, and the Song family would definitely support the Ten Princes at that time. When the Ten Princes ascend the throne, Yuchen will be the next queen. And if the prince of Taining Hou folds in, Chen Ran will become the prince of the Hou Mansion of Taining, and Yuxi will become the future mistress of the Hou Mansion of Taining. At that time, the Han family will definitely be able to take the opportunity to rise and return to the top, and there will be no need to look at people's faces.

Yuxi understood what she said: "What does grandmother mean, this family business can't be refused?" Or rather, the old lady would not allow her to refuse at all.

The old lady said: "I told you, even if you succeed to the big house, you are also a girl of the Han family. "The girl who has spent manpower, material and financial resources to raise her carefully is used to marry and bring benefits to the family. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such great lengths that day.

Yuxi understood what the old lady meant, this family business would bring benefits to the family, so even if she was unwilling, there was no room to refuse: "I know." "The old lady has decided that she cannot change what she has decided. Therefore, Yuxi will not waste this spirit. However, if she can't make sense, it doesn't mean that the eldest brother can't make sense.

Han Jianming actually didn't understand why Yuxi resisted this marriage so much: "Yuxi, if you can give me a reasonable reason, I can help you convince your grandmother." ”

What reason can Yuxi have, she feels that something is wrong, but she can't say what is wrong: "Big brother, I think the Chen family has bad intentions." ”

Han Jianming laughed: "Then tell me, where is the Chen family's bad intentions?" Han Jianming thought differently from the old lady, the Chen family is good, but it is not necessary for the Chen family. Let Yuxi marry a young general with military power, and the family may benefit more. As for whether Yuxi will have a bad time marrying such a person, Han Jianming is not worried at all. With Yuxi's intelligence, as long as she has a heart, it is impossible for her to have a bad life.

Yuxi's mind turned around and said, "Chen Ran, it's not as good as what is said outside. I think he might have something wrong with his brain?"

Han Jianming said with a smile: "Yuxi, it doesn't matter if you don't like Chen Ran and don't want to get married, but you can't make it up!"

Yuxi is not making things up, she has told her and Chen Ran four times. Yuxi said: "If he really likes me, it is impossible for him to ignore me the first two times." to the third inexplicable accosting, the fourth time was even more outrageous, and he even said that he wanted to talk to me alone. Big brother, doesn't he know that men and women don't kiss?"

After listening to Yuxi's babble, Han Jianming finally understood: "Yuxi, it's not that the Chen family has any intentions for you, it's that you don't have confidence in yourself. You think that the Chen family is high, Chen Ran is too good, and you are not worthy. "Because I don't think it's worthy, I think the Chen family will have other plans to suddenly come to the door to propose.

Han Jianming came to a conclusion that Yuxi did not agree to this marriage, and he was inferior: "Yuxi, although the influence of the Han family in the court is not as great as that of the Chen family, but the two families are also considered to be a good match, Chen Ran is not the eldest son, you are also excellent in all aspects, and it is more than enough for Chen Ran, why do you have low self-esteem?"

Yuxi was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Big brother, I don't have it." "It's not that she has low self-esteem, nor does she feel that she is not worthy of Chen Ran, but that the Jiang family has given her too deep a shadow. And Chen Ran and Jiang Hongjin are too similar in some aspects, they both have good family backgrounds and are excellent themselves, and the most important thing is that Chen Ran also fell in love with her inexplicably, and then came to the door to propose. Such a situation makes her not panic. She was afraid to escape from the Jiang family's wolf den and enter the Chen family's tiger's den.

Han Jianming watched Yuxi fall into sadness, and he didn't know why, but he also felt a little uncomfortable: "Yuxi, if the Chen family really has other plans to marry you, the eldest brother will definitely refuse." But in fact, this is not the case. Yuxi, big brother, you can't miss such a good marriage because of your temporary inferiority. ”

Yuxi was silent for a moment and asked, "Big brother, are you really sure that this is a good marriage, not a fire pit?"

Han Jianming was amused and angry: "If it's a fire pit, can the eldest brother push you in?" Or is it that in your mind, the eldest brother is a cold-blooded and ruthless person." ”

Yuxi hurriedly shook his head: "No, of course not." "Although the eldest brother is sometimes ruthless, he is a very affectionate and righteous person.

Han Jianming stopped talking, and looked at Yuxi with a smile.

At this point, Yuxi could only admit: "Big brother, I'm just scared." "She's scared, afraid of falling into the same situation as she did in her previous life.

Han Jianming said: "I think you are quite capable on weekdays, but every time you reach a critical time, you drop the chain." What are you afraid of? The Chen family is not a wolf's den and a tiger's den, they can still eat you?"

Yuxi was so disciplined that he didn't dare to look up.
