Chapter 503 She has the right person

"Why are you suddenly concerned about your eldest brother's marriage?"

asked Xu's mother.

"I'm already married, but there's still no sign of your eldest brother's marriage? Your eldest brother shoulders the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of our Chengguo Mansion. If he doesn't get married, how can we talk about inheritance?"

Xu Muhua said it with great righteousness.

General Xu sighed, "Your mother and I are also worried about this, but..."

How can the eldest brother get married when he follows him at the border? There has been no suitable candidate at the border, and the eldest brother's wife may need the emperor's consent. Otherwise, the emperor has a hundred ways to prevent the marriage.

"Ahem!"

Xu Muhua cleared his throat, "Well, Dad, Mom, I have a candidate here, I think she is quite suitable for big brother, would you like to hear it?"

The couple looked at each other, then looked at their daughter at the same time, and said in unison: "Who?"

"It's the young lady of the Geng family!"

Xu Jiang looked at his wife in a daze, obviously not knowing which family she was talking about.

Mother Xu frowned and asked uncertainly: "The Geng family you are talking about... is it the family of Concubine Jing?"

Xu Muhua nodded.

Mother Xu was suddenly at a loss, "Child, what are you doing? Isn't the young lady of the Geng family dating the young master of the Hu family recently?"

Is she trying to get her big brother to snatch someone else's bride?

"Mother, the relationship between Geng and Hu won't work out. The people of Hu are trying to force a marriage! The young master of Hu already has a illegitimate son, born from his concubine! They want to marry the young lady of Geng just to find a shield. If the young lady of Geng really marries, she will probably die of illness in no time!"

Mother Xu's face changed, "This... where did you hear this news from? You can't spread it around. If people hear it, the Hu family will come knocking on your door!"

General Xu looked at his daughter with suspicion and scrutiny in his eyes.

Xu Muhua was not in a hurry, "It was Concubine Jing who told me."

She told her about what happened when the young lady of Geng entered the palace a few days ago. Of course, there were some concealments and deletions, and artistic processing.

"When I was getting along with the young lady from the Geng family, I thought of my eldest brother. My eldest brother is not young anymore, and we can't keep dragging it on like this. If we marry another young lady from a wealthy family, we are afraid that the emperor will be suspicious of her. If her family background is too low, we are worried that she will not be able to be a good mistress in the future. I think the young lady from the Geng family is suitable!"

When she mentioned arousing the emperor's suspicion, the couple couldn't help but glared at her . Mother Xu said, "Can you tell me how the young lady from the Geng family is suitable?"

Xu Muhua praised Geng Zhiqiu, and Mother Xu couldn't help but be moved.

In fact, the marriage of the eldest son has always been a matter of concern to her. If the young lady from the Geng family is really like what her daughter said, it would be suitable. Although the Geng family has a concubine, she has no sense of existence, and the eighth prince is still young. By the time he grows up, the position of the prince will have been stable.

And to put it bluntly, the prince may have ascended the throne!

If they become relatives with the Chengguo Mansion, the Emperor will probably feel more assured. After all, the daughter of the Chengguo Mansion is a concubine in the Eastern Palace.

"But..."

Xu's mother immediately became alert when she heard these two words, "But what?"

"Mother, this young lady from the Geng family, before she followed her parents to the capital, she had been engaged. But the man later died of illness, and she became famous for being a husband-killer..."

There must be people who would laugh at the fact that the prince of the Chengguo Mansion married such a woman.

Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times with open minds, there are many people who mind. Although she personally doesn't mind, it's her eldest brother who is marrying a wife, and it's her parents who are marrying their son's daughter-in-law, so they have to make the final decision.

The couple was stunned again, and Xu's mother was a little hesitant, "Is that so..."

"Mom, I just mentioned this matter, whether it is appropriate or not still depends on you and dad. How about mother find a chance to meet the young lady of the Geng family to see you?"

Xu's mother knew that her daughter was not a random person. Since she mentioned it like this, she must really think that the young lady of the Geng family is good.

She thought for a while and said, "I'll find a chance to meet her."

Hearing her say this, Xu Muhua felt relieved and asked other things, "Dad, have you and big brother decided on the time to return to the border?"

"It has been decided. You are in the East Palace, and you don't have to come back when the time comes."

In order to avoid giving people a chance to talk.

Xu Muhua nodded perfunctorily.

It is impossible not to come back!

What's wrong with her coming back to see her father and big brother off? Who dares to say it's not right?

As soon as General Xu saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking. He opened his mouth to say something, but probably knew it was useless to say it, so he just closed it.

Forget it, just come back!

When she came back, of course she had to go to the old lady. The old lady didn't care about anything else when she saw her. She was very happy. She took her hand and asked her how she was doing in the East Palace.

But after she said a few words, the old lady started coughing, and it took a long time to stop.

Xu Muhua frowned with some worry: "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Why are you coughing so hard?"

It's not autumn or winter now.

Looking at the old man with wrinkles on his face, Xu Muhua couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

Speaking of which, the grandmother is also very old, and when the elderly get older, it is easy for problems to occur.

"It's okay. It's the way it is when you get old. You always have some problems from time to time. Maybe it's because you were too cold a few nights ago and didn't cover yourself with the quilt properly. When you get up, you feel a little itchy in your throat. It's okay. The doctor has prescribed medicine and you're much better now."

The old lady patted the back of her hand kindly and comforted her not to worry. However

, Xu Muhua was still worried, so she called the nanny who was serving the old lady and asked her in detail. The answer she got was almost the same as what the old lady said herself, so she was reluctantly relieved.

"See, your grandmother can't lie to you!"

The old lady glared at her.

"Grandma, you have to take good care of yourself. You are the mainstay of our Chengguo Mansion!"

The old lady was amused by her and laughed, "Don't worry, I'm still waiting for you to give me a great-grandson!"

Xu Muhua said she couldn't respond to this.

"Grandma, you might as well put your hope on your eldest brother!"

If your eldest brother gets married and has a child, he will be your great-grandson!

The old lady is also worried when she mentions this!

"I would like to hold your eldest brother's child, but your eldest brother is already old and spends all day at the border. I'm worried that he will marry a wild girl one day!"

The old lady lowered her voice, "I dreamed that your eldest brother married a strong girl and turned our family upside down!"

Then she was awakened by fright!

Xu Muhua was almost amused by the old lady.
