At this time, the hustle and bustle outside was almost burning the leaves of the summer trees.
Everyone on the streets was talking about Xiao Cunyu. Some people sympathized with the girl from the Jiang family, some thought Xiao Cunyu was extremely bold, and some even talked about Xiao Cunyu's ability to calculate the secrets of heaven... But most people sneered at the secrets of heaven and didn't take them seriously at all.
The Xiao family was sympathized by countless people.
Uncle Xiao has only been promoted to Shangshu for less than a year, and now his niece has caused such a big trouble. Many colleagues feel that he is too pitiful. He was implicated by his junior. If it was really a nephew, it would be fine, but it had to be a niece. Instead of embroidering at home, she had to stir up trouble.
Those who were on good terms with the Xiao family would mostly offer words of comfort; those who were not on good terms with them would inevitably make sarcastic remarks.
The eldest branch of the Xiao family was the most eye-catching, but on this day, the second and third branches of the Xiao family also had guests visiting.
The elders of the Yu family, the Wei family, the Jiang family... came to visit suddenly as if they had made an appointment.
Old Master Yu personally went to see Uncle Xiao Er to... discuss marriage.
He is not stupid. Right now, the whole capital is laughing at the Xiao family. If he talks to the Xiao family now, whether it succeeds or not, it will be a good relationship and icing on the cake. If he waits until the matter is over before talking to them, most likely no one will pay attention to him.
It didn't matter whether Xiao Qilang was a woman or not. He only knew that if Xiao Qilang hadn't seen through the fake prince consort, his granddaughter would have been hanged by a white silk thread.
"My granddaughter... is also lucky to have the help of Xiao Qi... that girl, so she is destined to be with your Xiao family. I think Mr. San is gentle and polite, and he is really a good child... If my granddaughter is lucky enough to marry such a man, I will be relieved..." Lord Yu said while drinking tea for a hundred years.
When Uncle Xiao Er heard this, he panicked: "Do you really mean this?"
"Yes, I'm just afraid that Mr. San will look down on my granddaughter. After all, she was engaged before..." Old Yu sighed.
Uncle Xiao was eager to agree immediately.
He was a warrior, and the fact that he could give birth to a top scholar was all due to the good fortune of his ancestors. Although many people in the capital looked upon his two sons with special regard, true scholarly families would often look down on him, a rough man...
The Yu family is a noble and aristocratic family. If they were not an extremely good family, they would never have been engaged to the eldest princess's son!
Although the fake prince consort and his son had an accident and the marriage didn't take place, it wasn't the girl's fault! This girl from the Yu family actually had a very good reputation and was very talented!
"But... I heard that Prince Consort Han's son has been found now..." Uncle Xiao said again.
Logically speaking, this marriage should be given to the real Master Han.
Elder Yu shook his head. "After something like this, how could she possibly marry into the family? Besides, the real eldest son of the Han family has been living away from home for the past twenty years and has become... a butcher and even an executioner. It's not that I dislike him, but he hasn't even been to school. If my granddaughter marries him, it would be... nothing to talk about. Besides, the eldest son of the Han family has already married. Even if their social status is not compatible now, a man should not divorce his wife who has shared his hardships. The Han family members are all reasonable people. They certainly wouldn't do something like divorcing Dalang's wife..."
In short, this marriage is not going to happen.
Uncle Xiao Er pondered for a moment, "My sons are very opinionated, especially Sanlang. He may seem frail, but he's the most opinionated... On the other hand, Silang... is straightforward. If I win a marriage for him, he definitely won't refuse..."
Even though Xiao Guantang was his biological son, there was a huge gap between the civil and military fields, and he felt that he could not communicate with his son.
Naturally, I didn't dare to make a decision for him casually.
Yu Ge Lao was stunned for a moment. He wanted Xiao Guantang to be his grandson-in-law because he was the eldest son of the second branch of the Xiao family. Since the eldest son was not married, it would not be the turn of the second son...
"Why not let the children meet each other? Before Xiao Silang leaves, he can take a look at her. If he thinks she is okay, he can make a verbal agreement. After he returns, he can formally hold the engagement ceremony. What do you think?" Lord Yu was also very happy.
The Xiao family is full of good men. It's good enough to get one of them. He is not picky.
