Chapter 127 Qiao Kou and Aunt Du think more and more beautiful
Aunt Du was even more delighted when she found out through various channels that Xie Jingrong was not yet engaged.
Qiao Kousheng was beautiful, and she was a daughter of an official family, so she was a good match for Xie Jingrong.
It just so happened that Xie Jingrong came to Heshan County at this time. Doesn't this just show that this is a match made in heaven?
Qiao Kou secretly glanced at Xie Jingrong, and couldn't help but feel her heart fluttering and shy.
She would be very satisfied if she could marry into a family like the Xie family and marry a man of Xie Jingrong's character and appearance.
Although Xie Jingrong has no intention of taking the imperial examination now, he is already a juren. With his talent and knowledge, it will be no problem for him to become the top scorer as long as he wants.
Things will be different when they get married and have a family. He will naturally change his mind, and I can persuade him from the side. I don't need to worry about him not making progress.
The eldest grandson of the Xie family won the top spot in the imperial examination. Wouldn't his career be very successful?
This future is so bright and golden!
The more Qiao Kou and Aunt Du thought about it, the more beautiful it became.
Aunt Du used all her skills to serve Lord Qiao, and then took advantage of that warmth to persuade him with some pillow talk, and Lord Qiao was really moved.
Unexpectedly, when Mr. Qiao discussed it with Mrs. Qiao, he was rejected by Mrs. Qiao.
When it comes to eloquence, Aunt Du is no match for Madam Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao didn't need to say much. She explained Xie Jingrong's identity: family background, origin, talent, character and appearance. He was the eldest grandson of the former Minister of Personnel and the grandson of Prince Jian. He was knowledgeable and talented, with outstanding appearance. Even Princess Shang could be worthy of him, and the noble ladies in the capital were also worthy of him.
Would the Xie family allow him to marry a concubine's daughter?
I've heard that Mr. Xie is very arrogant and has a pure heart, which is why his marriage has been delayed again and again. Is Qiao Kou okay with it?
Don't make the wedding a feud instead of a success.
Lord Qiao suddenly came to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat.
Instead, he scolded Aunt Du, who was happily waiting for his news, and said that she almost killed her!
When Aunt Du saw his attitude change drastically, she knew it must be Madam Qiao's doing. She felt angry and hateful, but there was nothing she could do.
A marriage that the mistress of the house does not approve of cannot be arranged.
Qiao Kou was also very angry.
Perhaps it was because of the contrast with Qiao Xuan in recent years that she felt that she was quite prestigious and remarkable.
He actually took the risk and secretly went to "accidentally meet" Xie Jingrong and Le Zhengxiao.
As a result, on that day, Xie Jingrong and Le Zhengxiao, who had finally been invited by Lord Qiao to stay at the county government office, went back to the inn.
Mrs. Qiao was full of sarcasm and told Mr. Qiao the reason.
Lord Qiao was furious. He slapped Qiao Kou and put her and her daughter under house arrest.
He was afraid that Xie Jingrong would blame him, so he took the opportunity of the dragon boat race to invite Xie Jingrong and Le Zhengxiao to participate, which was also an attempt to apologize.
Naturally, Qiao Wei would not miss the opportunity to mock Qiao Kou. She deliberately ran up to her and told her about the dragon boat race, and mocked her at the same time.
Don't you even look at what you look like? How dare you covet a man like Mr. Xie?
Aunt Du also wanted to ask Mrs. Qiao to take Qiao Kou to the dragon boat race, but of course her request was rejected.
No, the mother and daughter were angry and sad at home.
The dragon boat race started soon.
Since Lord Qiao has come to watch the fight, there must be something exciting going on.
The prize offered by Lord Qiao was a roasted pig and a whole roasted lamb. Whichever team won first would get the pig and the lamb.
In addition, there is the annual customary two taels of silver.
The prizes can be said to be very generous!
