The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 92 The marriage is settled (1)
"Well, Mrs. Hai is polite." The eldest lady said politely to Chou, and after seeing Chou sat down, she lifted some skirts and sat down slowly.

"Madam, please have tea, Madam An Guohou, please have tea." The maid serving in the hall, seeing the two ladies sat down, served some fragrant tea in a sensible manner, and then poured the tea for the two respectfully. .

The previous servant girl had finished serving tea, and then several servant girls came up from behind. Some served the master's snacks, some served incense, and some served fans. His wife would enjoy it very much.

"Qiuqin, bring the things with my wife." This time the eldest lady came to Haifu, how could she come empty-handed, in order to facilitate that matter, she had already prepared for it.

Qiuqin listened to Da Furen's instructions, walked slowly in lotus steps, and handed a brocade box inlaid with gold to Da Furen.

The eldest lady took the box from Qiuqin, looked at it without any problem, and then pushed the box in front of Qiu with a smile.

"Mrs. Hai, I'm really sorry that I took the liberty to come here to disturb you this time. This Jade Avalokitesvara seems to be a little bit of my heart. If you don't mind it, please accept it." The lady put the brocade box inlaid with gold , and after pushing it in front of Qiu, he said something in a gentle and gentle manner.

Chou did not expect that the majestic Mrs. An Guohou would actually give her a gift. It was because she was shorter than Mrs. An Guohou that she was a little cautious, and deliberately put her shelf high. It's unreasonable for her to give a gift. Chou Shi is also a shrewd person, and he soon smelled it.

"Mrs. An Guohou, do you have any secrets about your special trip to this mansion this time?" Mrs. Qiu is not stupid, and will not rashly accept her gift before she knows what the lady is doing.

The eldest lady thought about it in her mind, how she should tell this matter to this Qiu family, this Qiu family is notoriously pungent, if that matter is not done, it would be bad to cause a foul smell instead.

"Mrs. Hai, the thing is like this. My Lord Marquis has always heard that your son was born with a good appearance, he is filial to his parents, and knows how to love his wife and children, so he wants to marry Haifu." He slowly said what he was going to say, but he didn't mention Xi Wanqing.

Qiu looked at the face of the eldest lady, and felt that she might be lying, because she was not sure, so she asked again: "Mrs. An Guohou, my husband and I only gave birth to a child called Xilin, and there are no males in the other concubines. Come on, my family, Xilin, has a wife and concubines now, will Lord Hou still consider getting married?"

The eldest lady heard Qiu's doubts, and immediately replied: "Mrs. Hai, it's okay. After all, everything has a first-come, first-served principle. It is impossible for us to let your son divorce his married wife. Since the Hou family is willing Marriage with the Haifu, naturally you won't care about this."

After listening to Da Furen's words, Mrs. Qiu was secretly happy. Today, she really got a big deal. If Xilin marries the young lady of An Guohou's Mansion, not only will her husband have support in the court, but also Xilin's future will be depended on.

Qiu secretly thought Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, and was happy for a while, then remembered the brocade box on the table. Since Mrs. An Guohou came here for this matter, it is no big deal for her to accept this gift, she is happy Pick up the box on the table, and then open the box.

The box was opened, and a layer of gray brocade was wrapped inside. On the brocade lay a jade statue of Guanyin. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this statue of Guanyin was a top-notch product, and the carving was extremely delicate. The carvings in every place are flawless, without any flaws. The Guanyin is like a whole body of emerald jade, without any impurities, and the extremely rare Hetian warm jade is used. It can be seen that the lady has really spent a lot of money this time.

Seeing that it was a good thing, Chou couldn't close his mouth with a smile. Due to the presence of the eldest lady, after watching it for a while, he closed the box with some unsatisfactory intentions, and then carefully put the brocade box beside him.

Seeing Qiu Shi's loving expression, the Da Furen must have felt a little uncomfortable. If it wasn't for dealing with that little bitch Xi Wanqing, she would not be willing to give such a rough person such a rough person as Qiu Shi.

People in this era believe in gods and Buddhas, especially the wives of these officials' families. The eldest lady gave Qiu the jade Guanyin statue, which made Qiu very happy. After carefully putting down the brocade box, she looked at the doctor with a smile on her face. Humanity: "Madam An Guohou spends so much money, could it be that she wants to marry Second Miss Xi Zhuyan to our Haifu, if Madam An Guohou can let Miss Xi Er marry over, I will definitely let my son divorce his poor wife."

The Qiu family's appearance is not very good, and the greedy smile on his face has not completely dissipated after he got the Guanyin statue before, and now he is thinking about Xi Zhuyan, the only prostitute in the Marquis of Anguo's mansion.

The eldest lady heard that Qiu Shi actually missed Xi Zhuyan, and she was annoyed and hated towards Qiu Shi in her heart. In her heart, she cursed Qiu Shi secretly. Xilin's lustful and idle character is also worthy of the daughter she has carefully cultivated for so many years. This Qiu family is really thick-skinned enough to dare to say such a thing to her.

"Mrs. Hai, I'm not here to make a matchmaker for Yan'er today." The eldest lady looked at Xiao Xiang with Chou's face, forced her face, and forced a smile with great difficulty.

Although the eldest lady is annoyed and hated towards Qiu Shi at the moment, in order to achieve today's goal, she still endured not to tear herself apart from Qiu Shi.

"It's not Miss Xier, is it Miss Xisan? Although this Miss Xisan is not a direct descendant, she can be regarded as one of the most talented women in Hanyang City. Although there have been some rumors about Miss Xisan in Hanyang City recently, if she married Going to Hai Mansion as a concubine is fine." After hearing that it wasn't Xi Zhuyan, although there was a bit of disappointment on Chou's face, he was smart enough to think that it was Xi Zhuqin, and he only gave Xi Zhuqin a concubine. The position of the room.

The eldest lady was holding a bowl of tea. After she gently scraped the tea with the tea cover, she took a sip. Hearing what Qiu said about Xi Zhuqin, she felt that she couldn't hold back her face. Xi Zhuqin Although she was not born, she is the daughter of the Marquis of Anguo. Now that an outsider has exposed her faults in such a way, and she didn't directly slap her in the face of the head of the house, she hurriedly stopped Qiu with words: "Mrs. Hai, she is not Qin. Girl, since the second aunt in the house had an accident, this Qin girl has been unhappy all day long, and Lord Hou sent her to Qingyun Nunnery a few days ago to recuperate."

The incident of Xi Zhuqin's fight against Huakui Wu Qingcheng in Fengxian Tower has become known to everyone in Hanyang City. The remarks made by the Chou family had already made the eldest lady care about it. Now, how can the eldest lady bring up that matter again? He found a reason to cover up the fact that Xi Zhuqin was sent to Qingyun Nunnery as a punishment.
