Chapter 165 Engagement (1)

The matchmaker from the Marquis of Taining came to propose marriage, and Qiu readily agreed, and the two families immediately exchanged invitations. Then Qiu sealed a big red envelope and sent the matchmaker out of the yard with a smile on her face. Instead, start preparing for the engagement.

The matchmakers have all come to the door, so naturally this marriage cannot be kept secret. The people in the Duke's Mansion were most surprised by Ye Qing. When Ye Qing got the news, she couldn't believe it: "Did I make a mistake? Aunt asked someone to come and match her second cousin?" How could someone as demanding as her aunt fall in love with Yuxi!

Mrs. Hua said: "This news is absolutely true, there will be no mistakes." Mrs. Hua felt very uncomfortable. As the girl's direct aunt, the aunt did not reveal any news about such a big matter.

Mrs. Ye thought deeply: "I guess it's not Yuxi that my aunt is interested in. Otherwise, it's impossible for my aunt not to ask me about Yuxi."

Mrs. Hua was a little stunned: "It's not that my aunt is fancy, who is that?" She was also surprised when she got the news, the aunt's eyes are so high, and the daughter-in-law she chooses really wants to be good at everything, how could that be? How about picking four girls? Of course, it's not that the fourth girl is bad, but that the fourth girl lost her mother when she was young, which doesn't meet the requirements of an aunt's wife to choose a daughter-in-law.

Hugging her daughter, Ye said with a smile: "Who else could it be? My second cousin must have taken a fancy to it. But that's good too. Yuxi marrying into the Chen family will only benefit me and not harm me." Yuxi will marry into the Chen family in the future, and Yuxi will favor her in whatever happens in the future.

Yuchen also got the news immediately: "The Marquis of Taining came to invite a matchmaker to propose a marriage? Why didn't there be any rumors before?" Yuchen didn't think that Yuxi was not good enough for Chen Ran, but was a little surprised. She was surprised that she didn't even let the wind leak out before.

Nanny Gui said: "The third wife hasn't passed away for a long time, even if the two families are interested, it's hard to tell." It means that Yuxi has adopted to the eldest room, if she is still in the third room, she still can't get married now!

Yuchen stood up and said, "It's such a big happy event, it's time to congratulate my fourth sister." The last time she got engaged, Yuxi came over to congratulate her immediately. There were comings and goings, this time it was her turn to congratulate her.

Nanny Gui nodded and said: "It should be. Speaking of which, Master Tong must have misjudged, otherwise how could he give such a comment. The fourth girl is obviously very blessed." First adopted to the eldest room, now It's not luck to make such a good marriage again.

Yuchen said with an unchanged expression: "Without Master Tong's mistakes, Fourth Sister would not be so good now." Without that, it would be impossible for Yuxi to save Chen Ran on Zhuangzi, and she would not be able to get it. Such a good marriage. Yuxi, this is a blessing in disguise.

Nanny Gui agreed with this very much.

Arriving at Taoranju, Yuchen heard Yuxi practicing calligraphy in the study. Zisu said: "The door is not closed, the third girl can go in."

For more than eight years, Yuxi has been insisting on practicing calligraphy with cantilever. Now her cursive handwriting is very good, even Han Jianming has praised it, and even joked that Han Jianye was wrong. After all, this cursive copybook was given to Yuxi by Han Jianye.

Yuxi put down the brush, said with a smile: "Sister San, come and see how I write this calligraphy?" Yuxi wrote the four characters of "Heaven rewards diligence". Every time she feels that she has benefited, she will write these four big characters and compare them with the ones she saved before. Progress can be clearly felt.

Yuchen observed carefully, and then commented: "The thick strokes are strong but not bloated, and the thin ones are delicate but not delicate, but the flow of energy is not smooth enough, so we have to continue to work hard." The interplay of twists and turns, wide and narrow, can be regarded as a great achievement.

Yu Xi smiled and said: "I will continue to work hard." Only Yu Xi knows how much she has suffered in the process from following the gourd painting to writing like this.

But as for what Yuchen said, just listen to it. Those requirements that Yuchen said are the standards of calligraphy masters, and it is difficult for her to meet them.

Kufu came in with a basin of water. Yu Xi walked over to clean her hands, said with a smile: "Sister San, come here, what's the matter?"

Seeing Yu Xi's calm and calm look, Yu Chen wondered if Yu Xi knew about the Chen family's marriage proposal, and asked, "Mrs. Chen Ran, do you know about this?"

Yu Xi said without any surprise: "I know..." Before they finished speaking, they heard a bang. Looking back, it was the sound of the copper basin in Kufu's hand falling to the ground. All the water in the copper basin was poured out and spilled all over the ground.

Seeing Yu Xi's cold eyes, Ku Fu turned pale. Kneeling on the ground, he said, "Girl, this servant deserves to die."

Yu Xi frowned and said: "I didn't say anything to you, what are you doing with such a look? Those who don't know think how harsh I am!" After saying this, Yu Xi turned around and said to Yu Chen: " Third sister, let's go to the small living room!"

Walking out of the study, she said to Cai Die who was coming over, "Go and clean the study." Yuxi originally wanted to wait until the first month passed to find a suitable reason for Kufu to leave decently. But what happened today let her know that Kufu couldn't stay anymore.

Yuchen didn't ask about the bitter woman, it's a matter in Yuxi's yard, how to deal with it is Yuxi's business, she shouldn't intervene: "Mrs. Taininghou will come to propose marriage, you already know?"

Yuxi nodded, there was no need to hide this from Yuchen: "I went to Lingshan Temple with my mother yesterday to see Mrs. Taininghou and the second master of the Chen family."

Yuchen said sincerely: "Congratulations to the fourth sister." The Chen family is indeed a very good family, Chen Ran is also very good, and he deserves to be with Yuxi.

Yu Xi said with a look of rejoicing, "Thank you, Third Sister. I didn't expect that it was just a matter of little effort, but I would get such a blessing." What Yu Xi said meant that the reason why the Chen family was able to propose marriage was because she had no intention of doing so that day. The reason for saving Chen Ran. This reason is more convincing than Chen Ran's liking for her and wanting to marry her.

Yuchen smiled and said: "This is also your blessing. When the marriage is settled, you have to start embroidering the dowry." Yuxi is too busy on weekdays, and there are very few embroidery items. human eyeball.

Yuxi showed shyness on her face: "Even if the marriage is finalized, there are still more than two years, don't worry. But you, the third sister, because of the third aunt, the marriage has to be postponed!"

Yuchen didn't hide it from Yuxi either, and said, "It's better to go out later, the most comfortable time is at home." After getting married, she has to please her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to take care of the housework, and also has to deal with her husband's side concubine, concubine. It's good to be a girl at home.

After talking again, Yuchen said goodbye and went back.

Zisu came over and asked, "Girl, what happened to Kufu just now?" Kufu has served Yuxi for many years, and she would knock over the copper basin in front of the two girls. A personal servant girl should never commit a crime.

Yu Xi said lightly: "Just now when she heard that the Chen family came to propose marriage, she overturned the copper basin in surprise."

Zisu was stunned, no wonder she asked Kufu what was going on just now, but Kufu didn't tell her life or death, it turned out to be such a reason. It's just that the Chen family came to propose marriage, why did this girl react so strongly?

Yuxi didn't give Zisu a chance to think, and said, "Call Kufu in!" Since Kufu doesn't cherish the last chance, she doesn't need to show mercy.

Seeing Yu Xi's expressionless face, Ku Fu knew that she was doomed: "Girl, I made a mistake, please give me another chance!"

Yuxi said lightly: "I have given you many opportunities, but you don't cherish them. Seeing that you have served me for so many years, I will save you the last dignity, which is considered a master-servant." Friendship." The so-called last dignity is to let Kufu's parents arrange a marriage for her, and let Kufu go out on the grounds that she is going to marry, which is much more beautiful than going out directly.

After hearing this, Ku Fu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yu Xi vigorously before she could finish her sentence: "Girl, please don't drive your servant away, girl, please don't drive your slave away!" The slaves who were driven away will not end well. And seeing Yuxi getting better and better, she was kicked out. This kind of gap is really a big difference.

Yuxi is not a soft-hearted person, she has her own details and principles in her actions, and said with a cold face: "I have saved you the last dignity, if you are not satisfied, get out of Tao Ranju now."

Kufu's whole body froze, how could she dare to plead for mercy again.

Zisu walked over, helped her up, and said: "Go back to the house and clean yourself up. Otherwise, people will think that the girl abused you when they see you like this. If you ruin the girl's reputation, let the madam know that no one will be allowed to do it." Good." The girl's current status is not what it used to be, even if it is reported that the girl abused Kufu, the madam will suppress it. So Zi Su is not afraid at all.

Kufu walked out with her head down.

Zisu and Yuxi said: "It's good to let Kufu go, but it's not quite right since I came back." Without this incident, Zisu would also talk to Yuxi about Kufu.

Yuxi said: "She has lost her sense of normalcy." Kufu should also feel that she doesn't want to keep her anymore, she is afraid in her heart, and acts cautiously. As everyone knows, it is easy to make mistakes if you are too careful.

Zisu changed the topic: "Girl, Kufu is gone, and the position of the first maid is vacant, should you bring up Xuntao?"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "Xuntao came here in too short a time, I have to press again. Shanmei is a good girl, take her to [UU Reading 00kxs]!" Shanmei is Yuxi's second-class maid, It's never been obvious before. After Yuxi went to the villa, Tao Ranju's maids found a way to leave, and most of the maids who had no way were full of complaints all day long. Shanmei was not impetuous at all, before Yuxi came back, she cleaned the bedroom and study room three times a day, never missing a single day in half a year.

Zisu nodded and said, "Well, the mountain plum is really good."

Yuxi said: "I will announce this matter after Kufu leaves." This can be regarded as the last line for Kufu.

Zisu felt that Yuxi was really kind-hearted: "I just hope Kufu can remember the girl."

Yuxi didn't care at all, she only wanted to be worthy of her conscience. Whether Kufu remembers her kindness or not doesn't affect her. (to be continued)
