Chapter 614 Qiao Ning and Amo?
"Mother, what do you think of Amo?"
Qiao Qinghe was taken aback, not quite understanding yet, and subconsciously asked, "What do you mean, how?"
Wei Jia smiled and reminded her, "Amo is seventeen this year, and Miss Cousin is thirteen. They are four years apart, which is a suitable age."
“Amo is now an official, loyal and ambitious, a rare and good husband candidate.”
After thinking about it carefully, Qiao Qinghe gradually began to understand its meaning.
Amo was already her man; if he married Qiao Ning, he would be completely tied to the Qiao family.
Amo has no parents, so Qiao Ning can take charge of the household after marrying into the family, saving her the trouble of dealing with her mother-in-law.
In addition, Amo holds an official position, so it wouldn't be a disservice for Qiao Ning to marry him.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, so he immediately asked Ah Shuang to bring him paper and pen to write a letter.
Seeing this, Wei Jia quickly asked, "Is Mother preparing to write a letter to Amo?"
Qiao Qinghe nodded, "I think this is feasible. So I want to write a letter to ask Amo's opinion."
Wei Jia smiled and shook her head in denial, "I think it would be best for Mother to ask Qiao Ning's opinion first. It's not too late to ask Amo after she nods."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Amo won't refuse."
"On the contrary, it's unlikely that Qiao Ning and Changxing Street will accept Amo."
Qiao Qinghe instantly understood the meaning behind Wei Jiahua's words.
Although they thought Amo was good, in the eyes of the Qiao family, Amo was ultimately a servant in Qiao Qinghe's household, and had no family background or relatives to rely on, so they were afraid he would be looked down upon.
"Go and invite Miss Biao here yourself."
Qiao Qinghe immediately instructed A Shuang to personally go and fetch someone.
Hearing that it was Qiao Qinghe who had come to invite her, and that A Shuang had come in person, Qiao Ning didn't dare to delay and arrived very quickly.
After they met, exchanged greetings, and took their seats, Qiao Qinghe got straight to the point: "I've been busy with your marriage these past few days. I'm sure you've heard about it, haven't you?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ning blushed immediately, lowered her head, and stammered, "I have heard. Thank you for your hard work and efforts on my behalf, Great-Aunt."
Qiao Qinghe waved her hand, "No need for thanks, this is what I promised you."
"I called you over because I have a suitable candidate here and would like to ask for your opinion."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ning's already blushing face turned even redder to the roots of her ears, but she still quickly responded, "I, I will listen to my great-aunt. As long as my great-aunt thinks it's good, I have no objections."
Hearing Qiao Ning's words of wholehearted trust, Qiao Qinghe felt a warmth in her heart. But she still said, "Listen to who your great-aunt is talking about before you make a decision."
Qiao Ning raised her eyes slightly, looking at Qiao Qinghe with surprise, "The person my great-aunt mentioned, do I know her too?"
Qiao Qinghe smiled and nodded, "Yes, you know him. The person I'm talking about is Amo. He went to war with your second uncle and came back together. He was also awarded the rank of eighth grade. He was the young man who sat at the same table with me at the welcoming banquet."
What do you think?
Thinking of that boy, Qiao Ning's ears turned bright red.
"I, I'll listen to my great-aunt!"
After saying that, Qiao Ning quickly lowered her head again.
She was afraid that someone would see the surprise welling up in her eyes.
Yes, a surprise!
That day, when the boy came in with his two uncles, her gaze unconsciously skipped over the two uncles and landed directly on the boy.
The boy was so young, yet his figure was so upright! He looked so childish, but the expression on his face was even more resolute than her second uncle's!
These days, people in the mansion can be heard whispering about him from time to time.
The first meeting left a deep impression, and after hearing about it from others, it stuck in my mind.
However, she never dared to think about it from any other angle.
I just secretly agreed with everyone's opinion and thought this person was amazing.
That's all.
However, to her utter surprise, her great-aunt wanted her to marry that dazzling young man!
Is she okay with it?
Is she good enough for him?
Seeing this, Qiao Qinghe and Wei Jia exchanged a smile.
It's obvious that Qiao Ning has taken a liking to Amo.
"Alright, I know what to do. You can go back now."
Qiao Qinghe smiled and had someone escort Qiao Ning out. She then turned and wrote a letter to Amo, ordering it to be sent away immediately.
After the letter was sent, Wei Jia reminded Qiao Qinghe, "Mother, the people on Changxing Street don't know about this yet. It would be best if you informed them in advance."
“After all, if it’s really time to arrange a marriage ceremony, it would be more appropriate for Qiao Ning to move back to Changxing Street.”
“You’re right. Once Amo gives me a definite answer, I’ll go there myself.”
Qiao Qinghe nodded in agreement and then changed the subject.
“Jing Yao has been in office for some time now, right? Logically speaking, he should have settled down by now.”
"Why haven't they moved into their new house yet?"
"Is the new house still under repair? Or is there some problem? Why is there no sign of anything happening?"
Wei Jia quickly smiled and said, "That's exactly what I was going to tell you."
"Someone from Sanchi Lane just came today to say that the moving date has been set for three days from now. That day happens to be my second brother's day off."
"My second aunt asked us to come and add some life to their new house."
Hearing this, Qiao Qinghe felt relieved and smiled in agreement, "It's good that nothing happened. Please remember this for me and remind me when the time comes."
She turned her head slightly and said the last sentence to Ah Shuang behind her.
Ah Shuang quickly agreed with a smile.
***
The next day, not long after Qiao Qinghe got up, Sheng Xia, who was next to Wei Jia, came over.
"Greetings, Madam." Sheng Xia greeted her respectfully.
Qiao Qinghe waved her hand, "Your first wife asked you to come over so early, is there something you need?"
Sheng Xia smiled and shook her head, took a few steps closer, and lowered her voice to say, "The eldest madam asked me to come and report the Qian family's situation to the old lady."
"The Qian family?" Qiao Qinghe didn't react for a moment.
Ah Shuang quickly leaned close to her ear to remind her.
Qiao Qinghe then remembered and turned to look at Sheng Xia. Seeing her beaming smile, she understood that things had succeeded.
I'm just curious about what they did.
"Then tell me."
Sheng Xia curtsied and then said, "Miss Sun of the Qian family went out shopping yesterday and was harassed by a lecherous man. Fortunately, she was helped by a few passing beggars and managed to escape in a hurry."
"Yesterday evening, the little beggar came to the door demanding revenge, but was chased away by the Qian family's servants."
“This morning, that scoundrel came to propose marriage, and several beggars accompanied him to testify that Miss Qian took the initiative to throw herself into that young master’s arms.”
"It's quite lively in front of the Qian family's house right now."
Qiao Qinghe frowned and asked, "Whose son is that scoundrel? How dare he cause trouble in front of the Qian family's door?"
Sheng Xia smiled and explained, "That scoundrel is a descendant of a collateral branch of the Yu family of the Yongning Marquis's mansion. He has long harbored feelings for Miss Qian and even sent his family to propose marriage."
"It's a pity that the Qian family rejected us."
Qiao Qinghe was taken aback. "The Qian family and the Yu family's collateral branch are considered a good match, right? Why would they refuse the marriage proposal?"
