Chapter 154

Zhou Ran looked at the bitter expression on Wu Xiangling's face and asked with concern: "Did something happen?"

Wu Xiangling smiled bitterly and said: "I was targeted by the sixth young master of the Yao family. He promised to marry me. The Queen Mother even summoned me to the palace before, so she just arranged a marriage between me and the sixth young master of the Yao family. Now this Who else in the capital dares to marry me?"

Although Zhou Ran came to the capital not long ago, she had already heard about the reputation of the sixth young master of the Yao family.

The sixth son of the Yao family is the elder son of Taifu Yao. Both Taifu Yao, the father, and the eldest sister, Queen Mother Yao, dote on him very much.

Naturally, Young Master Yao grew crooked under such pampering. He spent all day entertaining cats and dogs, wandering around alleys and alleys. He was not even married yet, but he already had concubines at home. He also had a bad temper, a gambling habit, and other bastard things. Even more hard work.

Wu Xiangling's life would be ruined if she married such a person.

Zhou Ran was silent for a moment, then asked: "What is Mr. Wu's attitude towards this matter?"

Wu Xiangling said: "My parents definitely don't agree with me marrying such a person, and my second grandfather doesn't want to marry the Yao family."

If the emperor had not been able to personally govern, Wu Xiangling's second grandfather, Wu Shaoqing, would still think that Wu Xiangling's marriage to the nephew of Queen Mother Yao was a good choice. Although the sixth son of Yao was unbearable, Wu Xiangling's marriage to him could bring the Wu family to a higher level. building.

But now the emperor has stopped talking about Qin Zhen, and he is still fighting to the death with Empress Dowager Yao.

Wu Shaoqing knew very well that although the power of the two parties seemed to be about the same at present, he felt that the emperor was the orthodox one after all. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before Queen Mother Yao would fall.

If they get involved with the Yao family at this time, the Wu family will be doomed when the emperor liquidates them.

So in this matter, Wu Shaoqing and Wu County Magistrate took sides and did not want Wu Xiangling to marry Yao Liugong.

During this period, Wu Shaoqing's wife had always wanted to simply settle the marriage for Wu Xiangling and directly put an end to the Yao family's thoughts.

It is a pity that Queen Mother Yao's previous actions made all the official families in Beijing know that she wanted Wu Xiangling to marry the sixth son of Yao. The families who had previously intended to marry the Wu family all backed down.

Even though Wu Shaoqing's wife has lowered her requirements very low, it is still difficult to find a suitable candidate. The reason she went out today was to attend a banquet held by the family of a sixth-grade official. That family had a young son who had not yet been engaged this year.

"If... if things don't go well for the second grandma today, I may return to Nanxing County in a few days." Wu Xiangling said.

Zhou Ran shook her head. She felt that Wu Xiangling's thinking was too simple. With the power of the Yao family, if they wanted to, they could bring Wu County Magistrate to the capital. Wu Xiangling would not be able to return to Nanxing County at all.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Ran said, "Fei Nanxing is in the capital now, you know that, right?"

Wu Xiangling nodded. She didn't know that Fei Nanxing had come to the capital at first, but she knew after Fei Nanxing passed the Jie Yuan exam.

"Then you..." Zhou Ran looked at Wu Xiangling and asked hesitantly: "Can you still treat him now..."

Wu Xiangling lowered her head, and after a while she sighed quietly, "Master Fei doesn't like me, and I don't want to hurt him anymore in my current situation."

Zhou Ran didn't understand Wu Xiangling's behavior. Even now, she still likes Fei Nanxing in her heart.

Moreover, Zhou Ran did not agree with Wu Xiangling's words. Mr. Fei saved the emperor. As Mr. Fei's apprentice, Fei Nanxing was naturally on the opposite side of the Yao family.

Therefore, it does not make much difference to Fei Nanxing whether to marry Wu Xiangling or not.

In this matter, whether Fei Nanxing likes Wu Xiangling and whether he is willing to marry Wu Xiangling is the key.

Otherwise, she would ask Ye Ximing to invite Fei Nanxing to his home to ask him what he meant. If he was willing to marry Wu Xiangling, it would not only solve Wu Xiangling's current predicament, but also make Mr. Fei no longer worry about his marriage. However, Zhou Ran did not mention this matter to Wu Xiangling. She was afraid that she had given Wu Xiangling hope now, and if Fei Nanxing was unwilling later, Wu Xiangling would be disappointed again.

So, Zhou Ran only comforted Wu Xiangling with one sentence: "Xiang Ling, don't be too sad. There will be a road for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. This matter may turn around."

Wu Xiangling didn't take Zhou Ran's words of comfort to her seriously. She put away the sadness and sadness on her face, smiled at Zhou Ran and said, "Thank you, Aran, I'm much better now. I'll take you to the garden for a walk." ”

Zhou Ran didn't mention it again, and nodded in response: "Okay."

Zhou Ran stayed in the Wu Mansion for almost two hours, guessing that it was almost time for Ye Ximing and others to leave their posts, so she said goodbye to Wu Xiangling: "Xiang Ling, I have something else to do, so I will leave today and come back to see you in a few days. you."

Wu Xiangling agreed with a smile and personally sent Zhou Ran to the door of the house.

As a result, as soon as the two of them stepped out of the mansion, a carriage stopped at the door of the mansion, and a woman about fifty years old got out of the carriage.

Wu Xiangling saw the person coming and rushed to greet him, "Second Grandma, are you back?"

Mrs. Wu nodded to Wu Xiangling and looked at Zhou Ran aside.

Wu Xiangling hurriedly introduced her: "This is Zhou Ran, my friend in Nanxing County and the wife of the new top scholar. She embroidered the Hunan embroidery that I gave to the second grandfather before."

Zhou Ran stepped forward and saluted Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu smiled and nodded at her, and praised Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran a few more words, but didn't ask Zhou Ran to talk anymore.

When Zhou Ran left, she looked back at Mrs. Wu. Her face was not very pretty, and although she had a smile on her face, it was a little forced.

It seems that Mrs. Wu's banquet today did not go smoothly.

When Zhou Ran arrived at the Hanlin Academy in a carriage, it was still a while before Ye Ximing and the others were dismissed.

Zhou Ran sat on the carriage and waited.

After less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Ximing and the others were dismissed. When Zhou Ran saw someone coming out, she got off the carriage and stood outside waiting.

While waiting for Ye Ximing, Zhou Ran did not forget to look around, looking for Gao Rongyue.

But after Zhou Ran looked for a long time, he didn't see any woman nearby who could match Gao Rongyue.

Zhou Ran shook her head and looked away, just in time to see Ye Ximing and Fei Nanxing coming out.

Zhou Ran smiled and called Ye Ximing.

Ye Ximing was very surprised when he saw Zhou Ran, "Madam, why are you here?"

Zhou Ran smiled and said, "I'll pick you up."

Fei Nanxing and others also came forward to say hello to Zhou Ran.

Pu Xiuwen looked at Zhou Ran, feeling jealous of Ye Ximing's good life again.

He Shilang was a very ordinary-looking man. Although his wife and concubine were both beautiful people, their children all followed He Shilang.
