Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 58 The First Meeting of Jingyan, Rescue Mingxu (3)
Qiu Mingyu is two years older than Qiu Minglan, and she is also taller, but her facial features are somewhat inferior.Wearing a butterfly play narcissus dress shirt, and a gold silk white pattern epiphyllum rain silk brocade skirt, the dress is very pretty and extraordinary, and the gentle and docile appearance at the moment is also extremely pleasing to the eye.

Mrs. Xue Guohou took a sip of tea indiscriminately, and then said with a smile: "These are the two nieces, I haven't seen you for a few years, and they look even more beautiful."

Qiu Mingyu blushed, but her eyes were bright.Qiu Minglan was more reserved than her, she lowered her head and did not speak.

The old matriarch smiled and said, "I made Madam laugh. Mingyu, Minglan, come and meet your aunt."

Qiu Mingyu and Qiu Minglan hurried over and saluted obediently.

"Meet my aunt."

Mrs. Xue Guohou saw that Qiu Mingyu behaved well, and felt a little more satisfied in her heart.

"Well, my family, you don't need to see outsiders like that." Mrs. Xue Guohou's words meant that she and the eldest lady were sisters, and Qiu Mingyu and Qiu Minglan were also her nieces and daughters. Since they were relatives, apart from their surnames, they were a family, but To Qiu Minglan's ears, her taste changed.

She naturally knew that Mrs. Xue Guohou's main purpose today was to marry her son Xue Yuhua, and Qiu Mingyu was the only one who was of the right age in the mansion.Coupled with what Qiu Mingyue said just now, it is almost impossible to say that Mrs. Xue Guohou is interested in Mid-Autumn Mingyu.Now Mrs. Xue Guohou is so satisfied when she sees Qiu Mingyu, I am afraid that Qiu Mingyu and Xue Yuhua's marriage will be finalized like this.

Qiu Mingyu is used to being willful and savage, her brain is really not smart, she can't think of those twists and turns.In the big mansion, if the Da Furen hadn't protected her so well, she would have been eaten to the bone.

At this moment, she only knows that Mrs. Xue Guohou likes her, so Xue Yuhua...

Thinking of that man who was as tall as bamboo and pine, she couldn't help her heart beat faster, her little face was as red as blood.

"Yes." She stood up and looked at Mrs. Xue Guohou with big black and white eyes.It is not the first time Mrs. Xue Guohou has come to Qiufu, so Qiu Mingyu has certainly seen it before.

"Auntie hasn't seen Yu'er for a long time, Yu'er misses you." She pursed her lips slightly, with a playful and cute look on her face.

Mrs. Xue Guohou was amused by her, and she took her over and hugged her.

"You little elf, your mouth looks like it's been smeared with honey."

Qiu Mingyu nestled in Madam Xue Guohou's arms, "No way, Yu'er is telling the truth."

Qiu Minglan pursed her lips, and also snuggled into Mrs. Xue Guohou's arms.

"Auntie, you only like the third sister, and Lan'er doesn't."

Mrs. Xue Guohou smiled, stretched out her hand and patted the backs of the two with a gentle tone.

"Okay, Yu'er and Lan'er are well-behaved, and my aunt likes them."

The eldest lady watched from the side, seeing that her elder sister really liked Qiu Mingyu, she was slightly relieved, so she said carefully, "Eldest sister, then..."

At this time, only the shouts of maidservants could be heard outside.

"The prince Xue Guohou has arrived."

Qiu Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and her face turned even redder.But the old matriarch said: "Chen Xiang, take Miss San and Miss Six to the back room."

This era pays special attention to the defense of men and women. Although there are elders here, Qiu Mingyu and Qiu Minglan are still young ladies who have not left the court, and they have to see men through a screen.Therefore, just now Qiu Mingyu and Qiu Minglan met Xue Yuhua privately in the garden, which is already a violation of female virtue.If it is spread, it will greatly hinder the reputation.Qiu Mingyue was different, since the very beginning, she deliberately kept a distance from Xue Yuhua, and there was a tortoise shell beside her, which was not considered rude.

Chen Xiang hurriedly took the two sisters Qiu Mingyu to the mirror heart screen carved with red sandalwood and inlaid with the word "longevity". Through the hazy screen, he could already see Xue Yuhua's figure like a pine and bamboo. He walked in slowly and respectfully greeted all elders. Greetings.Seeing this, Qiu Mingyu was even more moved.

After Xue Yuhua sat down, she heard the eldest lady speak before the old matriarch.

"This is the eldest nephew, I haven't seen him for a few years, but he is getting more and more handsome." She looked Xue Yuhua up and down, the more she looked at this son-in-law, the more satisfied she was.

Xue Yuhua frowned calmly, his words were still humble.

"My aunt praises me so much, but my nephew is ashamed."

Da Furen and Madam Xue Guohou looked at each other, they understood each other.The eldest lady took Mrs. Xue Guohou's hand and said: "Sister, it's rare for you to come to the mansion, if you stay for a few more days, you and my sister can catch up on the old days."

Mrs. Xue Guohou knew that she wanted the two juniors to cultivate their relationship together, so she went along with it.

"If that's the case, there will be no inconvenience." She patted the Da Furen's hand, but looked at the old matriarch.

The old matriarch was a little displeased, it was fine for Mrs. Xue Guohou to stay here.But in this way, wouldn't Xue Guohou's son also live in Qiufu?There are still so many unmarried girls in the Qiu Mansion, so if they live under the same roof and see Xue Yuhua without looking up, their reputation will not be good in the future.But Mrs. Xue Guohou has already said so, what else can she do besides agreeing?But my heart became more and more dissatisfied with the eldest lady.The eldest lady loves her daughter, she understands, but she doesn't like it because she has no eyesight.

"Madam Xue Guohou is polite, I will arrange for a maid to clean up Madam's room." She winked at Nanny Han beside her, and Nanny Han stepped back with great insight.

Mrs. Xue Guohou smiled, Xue Yuhua frowned, and then relaxed again without making a sound.

Behind the screen, Qiu Mingyu and Qiu Minglan were also very excited, their little faces were flushed, and they were as shy as clouds.

Having achieved her goal, the eldest lady was in a good mood, and she and Mrs. Xue Guohou began to reminisce about the old days.Next to her, the third lady also inserted a few words from time to time.Only the second lady's face was cold, and when she saw a few people talking excitedly, she raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth, took a sip of tea, and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is here today because I want mother to decide."

The old matriarch took a sip from the teacup and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

The second wife said: "Brother Xuan is 17 years old this year, it's time to get married."

The old lady paused while drinking tea, and then slowly put down the teacup.

"Is there a suitable candidate?"

The second wife sat upright, "Li Lanzhi, the eldest daughter of Dali Siqing."

The old matriarch nodded, "Then discuss it with Mrs. Li, and the exchange will be more favorable, so that I can be hired as soon as possible."

The second lady's brows and eyes were dyed with a soft color, "My daughter-in-law knows."

The eldest lady glanced at the third lady, and said: "Congratulations, brother and sister, but..." She paused, with a smile on her face.

"I remember, Mingzhen is almost 15 years old, shouldn't it be time to discuss marriage?"

The second lady's face changed, and a coldness flashed in her eyes.

"Thank you sister-in-law for your concern. Mingzhen is still a few months away, and I will make arrangements for her. My sister-in-law is worried about Mingyu and Minglan every day, and don't forget about Mingyue. She is already 13 years old, and it's time to discuss marriage. .”
