“I choose the second one!” Mrs. Zhou said without thinking.
“Aniang!” Brother and sister Xu Nuoshan stopped him in unison.
Mrs. Zhou had a determined look on her face, "Don't say anything anymore. The second method is the most suitable. It's best not to offend anyone if you can. Who knows what will happen to the Zhao family in the future!"
Mrs. Zhou made up her mind, calmed down a lot, and began to think about how to get sick.
Xu Nuoyan was worried and couldn't stop Mrs. Zhou, so she hid outside the door and wiped her tears secretly.
Yang Erdan chased him out, "Don't be sad, it will be fine when you get back to Fucheng."
Xu Nuoyan wiped her tears and turned to look at him, "My mother-in-law said that I will not be allowed to support my parents' family after I get married. My eldest brother was afraid that I would be disobedient, so he thought of agreeing to the Zhao family's marriage. At least I would marry Miss Zhao. No need to worry about money.
My grandma also wants to go to the sea, or sell fish everywhere, but they are trying not to worry me, and I feel so worried! "
This was the first time that Xu Nuoyan showed her vulnerable side in front of him, and it was also the first time that she opened her heart to him.
Yang Erdan took out a handkerchief from his arms and gave it to her with a gentle expression. His voice was as calm as ever, "This is not a big deal. If the expenses for the exam are not enough, we should help. If my mother-in-law wants to do it on her own, my mother-in-law can do it." There will be a lot of food to eat. I will ask my mother-in-law and let them think of a way to make money for my mother-in-law.
There is no need for my brother-in-law to sacrifice his life for something important! You can tell your mother-in-law and brother-in-law later to let them feel at ease, and we can discuss it after we get married. "
“Thank you!” Xu Nuoyan looked at Yang Erdan gratefully, and before she knew it, she had subconsciously regarded Yang Erdan as her support.
Mrs. Zhou made up her mind to pretend to be sick and actually went inside to change her clothes. Wearing only a thin piece of clothing, she wandered outside for an hour and did not return until she sneezed.
Mrs. Zhou fell ill and had a fever that night when the family returned to Songxi Town.
Xu Nuoshan blames himself and is helpless. He can't care about the Zhao family and the Xu family. He only thinks about taking care of Mrs. Zhou.
The Zhao family is well-informed and knew about this matter in just one day.
Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she started making trouble with Mr. Zhao at home, "What a coincidence! As soon as the master went to see Xu Xiucai, his mother-in-law fell ill. She must be faking it!"
Zhao Yuanwai was very impatient with Mrs. Zhao who was messing around. "Xu Xiucai invited all the best doctors in the county to see a doctor. That doctor was also a frequent visitor to our family. You know his temperament. You mean that the doctor joined the Xu family." Come to act?"
Mrs. Zhao naturally knew that this possibility was slim. Not to mention that there was no relationship between them. Even if there was a relationship, the doctor would not risk offending the Zhao family by doing such a thing. After all, it was no longer her intention to marry her daughter to Xu Xiucai. What a secret.
"That's what the Xu family did on purpose!" Mrs. Zhao glared at Yuan Zhao with an unhappy expression, "I don't care, this marriage must happen. My Jiaojiao is already very aggrieved if she can't be the wife of the uncle. If she can't even be the wife of a scholar, , I won’t be able to see anyone when I go out!”
Although Zhao Yuanwai saw that she was not Mrs. Zhao, he had to admit that what she said was reasonable. After thinking about it, he called the housekeeper over and said, "Go and prepare some generous gifts to visit Mrs. Xu."
"What about visiting Mrs. Xu? It's about getting married!" Mrs. Zhao emphasized again.
Zhao Yuan was very annoyed and said, "Enough! Xu Xiucai's mother is sick. The housekeeper is still debating whether she can see her or not. Is it a marriage or an enmity? Ignorant woman!" "If you don't tell me now, there will be no chance in the future!" Mrs. Zhao shouted unwillingly.
“That’s why Yue Jiao and Xu Xiucai have no chance!” Zhao Yuanwai was so annoyed by Mrs. Zhao that he didn’t bother to bother with her.
Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she stamped her feet. She actually wanted to go to Mrs. Zhou to marry her, but she couldn't save her face, so she could only be furious.
Zhao Yuejiao, however, was thinking about Kong Rufan and Wu Shubai, and did not pay attention to Xunuoshan at all. If the Kong family and the Wu family were not of high rank, and Kong Rufan and Wu Shubai were not often in Ping'an County, she would have asked Mrs. Zhao to find a solution for her.
Now they have taken the next step and come to Xunuo Mountain, but the Xu family has so many things going on. Zhao Yuejiao is inexplicably angry, "Auntie, the Xu family is just married to a nouveau riche like the Yang family, and they really think they are the dishonest! If you don’t give them some color, they won’t be able to identify themselves!”
Mrs. Zhao glared at her daughter angrily, "If your father had asked you to go to the Yang family if you had seized the opportunity, now you are a member of the Yang family. There is no need to hang around with a shabby person!"
Zhao Yuejiao got angry when she mentioned this matter, "How is that daughter from the Xu family better than me? Young Master Yang must be blind when he falls in love with her! I don't care, the Xu family dares to deny our Zhao family face, this matter cannot be ignored Forget it!"
Mrs. Zhao exhaled a breath and said in a deep voice: "Let's see what the housekeeper says when he comes back. If it doesn't happen, I won't let them have an easy time! Anyway, that family is still in Ping'an County, so there are plenty of opportunities!"
Zhao Yuejiao's face finally looked better.
Qian, who was working quietly on the side, heard that the Zhao family's mother and daughter valued Jiang Ning so much. Her whole face was twisted with jealousy, and her mind became hot. She actually stepped forward and said: "Madam, Miss, actually, the Xu family daughter is not married yet. , If you want to marry into the Yang family, you still have a chance, and you don’t have to marry Xu Xiucai.”
Mrs. Zhao frowned, but did not immediately curse, "What should I say?"
"Madam, you don't know. Uncle Guang En was once the slave's sister-in-law. She was not good at anything. She suddenly changed her gender for no apparent reason. All the slaves and children of Uncle Guang En knew that the second son, Yang Erdan, He is most honest and honest, and has no ill intentions. As long as the rice is cooked, he will definitely marry the lady." Qian's eyes were filled with the pleasure of revenge and a bit of schadenfreude.
When Mrs. Zhao was reminded by Mr. Qian, she suddenly thought that she had been in such a high position in the first place. Instead of reprimanding Mr. Qian, she even gave her a reward of one tael of silver.
This was an unexpected gain for Qian. She accepted the reward and went out with great gratitude.
Zhao Yuejiao looked disgusted and said, "Mom, you should listen to what a cheap servant says! If the Yang family were richer, I would still consider it. Even a farm boy would be worthy of letting me crawl into bed!"
Mrs. Zhao glared at her and said, "Keep your voice down! I think this is a good idea. Although Uncle Guang En will definitely be unhappy, due to his face and reputation, he must be responsible for you. Isn't this marriage enough? First? After passing through the family, and then fighting for the title, with my mother-in-law helping you, the Yang family’s head can’t beat us!”
Even before she even mentioned the horoscope, Mrs. Zhao talked about it with a nose and an eye, and even drew a cake for Zhao Yuejiao that she couldn't refuse.
The two of them said that they did not avoid the old servants and little girls working in the house.
The housekeeper of the Zhao family went to Linjiang Inn with a generous gift and told Shopkeeper Hua what he wanted.
Shopkeeper Hua looked regretful, "What a coincidence, Xu Xiucai asked the doctor to come over to see Mrs. Xu and then hurried back to the academy. Now Mrs. Xu has only Miss Xu to take care of her. After all, she is a girl who has not left the court and it is not easy to meet guests. If Manager Zhao has something important, I can convey it to you."
