As a result, not long after, the matchmaker came to the door! "..." The old man was surprised.
Wen Feng, on the other hand, was running around, just afraid that this good nephew-in-law would fly away. He could even imagine how cool it would be to be with his nephew-in-law in the future.
Isn't it possible to travel smoothly in the capital city?
The reason why it was so fast was that Qi Si did not return to the villa at all, but stayed here. He was very familiar with the affairs of the people, and in a short while, he arranged everything decently and thoroughly.
The matchmaker said with a smile that the host family had to hurry back to Beijing after finishing their business, so the formalities were solemn and quick!
Things have come to this point, the more she makes trouble, the more embarrassed she becomes, so Mrs. Wen can only deal with it with a cheerful face.
After rewarding the matchmaker generously and happily exchanging engagement letters, the marriage process began.
…
Wu came back with some good news.
It turned out that what she had been planning for a long time had finally happened: the widow was beaten up by someone on her way to check on her property, and her face was scratched several times.
At that time, Wu happened to go to the Qi family, and no one suspected her.
Wen Feng was in no mood to deal with someone with a bad face, so he didn't go looking for him.
This was a really beautiful thing to do! I had just recovered from the hurt I suffered at the Qi family, but then I heard that the old man had returned and was in charge of Wen Yu's marriage.
Moreover, Wen Yu was going to marry the fifth son of the Qi family! When Wen Jiao heard this, she immediately became furious and jumped up to find the old lady.
But Wu knew that the old lady must be even more unhappy! She couldn't be provoked at this time.
The bruises on my body haven’t healed yet!
After finally holding Wen Jiao down, she went to find the old lady. Just as she was about to open her mouth, the old lady held up a teacup and glared at her.
Mrs. Wu was startled again. She was really afraid of her mother-in-law. The teacup hit her again...
The old lady was already in a bad mood, and she looked at her even more displeased: Useless thing!
She coldly said a few words to her, meaning that she should be honest recently and not do stupid things! Wu looked at the old lady's face and couldn't guess what she was thinking, so she had to come back and coax and scare her. After persuading her like this for a long time, Wen Jiao finally stopped angrily.
Wen Yu returned to the yard and Xiao Jiniang sent messages back and forth.
"Ms. Yan Zhu's yard has been rented. It's very close to us. There are more than ten rooms of different sizes in the second yard. Both the house and the yard are very neat. When Miss Yan Zhu saw the kitchen, she was very happy. It means she can't bear to part with you..."
"Haha, let her make some soup and I'll go drink it when I have time."
"Miss Yanzhu is making a fuss about going out to buy things. She wants to cook for you! Master Sun has asked two of her nieces to stay with her first. I will also stay there at night. After a few days, we will buy a few maids and servants, and everything will be fine."
"Don't let her go out. If she wants anything, just go and buy her! I'll deal with the matter of buying someone when I have time! Tell Master Sun to ask his nieces to take care of her first. It will be a lot of trouble if a girl lives here alone."
"Yes. Also, young lady, my boss has delivered the letter that Master Qing asked you to deliver. Hmm..." Xiao Jiniang was a little embarrassed.
"Speak!"
"Miss, that place is called Yafeng Pavilion, the largest...brothel in Jinling. It's that kind of place...it's said that the silver and the letter are for a musician with a disabled leg."
Oh? "The master is wearing a veil, and I don't know what he looks like!"
"Why are you so mysterious..."
"Girl, you have to be careful about this. If others find out, it will be a disaster! Especially if you are going to marry into the Qi family, there will be so many eyes watching you, you can't be careless at all."
"Yes. Did he reply?"
"There is a reply letter. I received it and went to Cailuan Pavilion, but I couldn't see Master Qing and couldn't ask too many questions. Here is the letter..."
"Okay, give it to me first. I still have to go try on clothes. I'll give it to her when I get the chance."
Xiao Jiniang paid the bill and money her husband had given her.
Wen Yu felt that Xiaoji's family was really easy to use! The two people were talking in the house, and the atmosphere in the small courtyard was much more tense than before.
First of all, the people from the kitchen came several times, sometimes asking the girl what kind of snacks she wanted to eat, sometimes asking what kind of soup she wanted to drink in the evening, very attentive!
Then, Xiang Shu Niang heard the news and almost bit her teeth off with regret. She wanted to send her daughter back, but the indenture was taken away, so how could she return? She wandered around the gate of the yard, hoping to run into the girl by chance, say a few words to her, win her sympathy, and then send her daughter back.
Qinghe had never met the Fifth Master Qi, nor did she know who the Qi family was, but Xiaoji was there.
Before the news of the engagement came out, Xiaoji kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
But when the news spread, everyone in the Wen family was rejoicing, and Xiaoji was so proud, as if she was the one who was engaged!
Thinking that she would be the top maid in the Marquis's Mansion in the future, maybe she could even go to the Imperial Palace to have a look! It was like she was in heaven, and she began to look down on other maids.
He kept describing the young man over and over again, saying how outstanding he was, and how stupid others were when they saw him.
Everyone who said Qinghe had his own thoughts.
These older girls will accompany the girl to get married. They may also be taken as concubines by the son-in-law in the future... Among the girls around the girl now, Hong Xing'er is not well-received, Xiaoji is too ugly, and Xiangshu has left... There is no one else except herself.
No, there is also Yan Zhu... She couldn't help feeling sour.
The girl is so kind to Yan Zhu, maybe she is planning to use her as a help after she gets married...
However, she would not take this step easily. After all, which housewife would want to have a concubine like Yan Zhu by her side? Isn't it asking for trouble? Qing He thought about this and that for a while, and her heart was restless. But she also became active and took care of the work in her hands meticulously.
But Hong Xing'er was dumbfounded. What should she do now? ...
This incident spread throughout Jiangzhou in just a short time.
Mrs. Zhang got the news immediately, and the awkwardness in her heart suddenly faded away.
So she went to Zhang Jiangqing's house.
Several of Zhang Jiangqing's brothers have been accompanying him all the time.
When he learned that his mother's marriage proposal was rejected, he could only be described as heartbroken.
I didn’t eat or drink for a whole day and I didn’t sleep for a whole night.
Several brothers took turns to persuade him, but he just kept silent.
When he saw his mother coming, he stood up and said, "Mom!" in a depressed mood.
Mrs. Zhang told him the news...
Zhang Jiangqing was silent for a while before saying, "Mother, Mr. Qi Wu is very outstanding and a perfect match for Ayu. Son, I have figured it out. I will bless her! I will be fine too."
Mrs. Zhang was very touched. "Jiang Qing, you are also very good! You will find your own good marriage partner."
"Mother, don't rush this matter! My son is still upset and it would be unfair to others to discuss marriage at this time. I want to do my best and make a name for myself!"
"Good son! Mother listens to you."
…
At night, Yan Zhu was not at home and Wen Yu slept alone.
I had already laid down when suddenly I heard knocking at the back window, as if someone was hitting the window with stones.
He was startled and thought it might be that man, so he stood up, wrapped himself tightly with his cloak, and then opened the window.
It was indeed him! Qi Wu was still wearing black tights and a black cape, which made his face look even whiter.
The person stood there straight, and the beauty was beyond words.
Seeing that she opened the window, Qi Wu waited for a while and saw that Wen Yu didn't speak for a long time.
Without any hesitation, he walked into the house in one go, his body light and graceful.
His expression was quite calm, as if the two of them were in broad daylight, rather than him entering the girl's boudoir in the dark.
There was no shyness that two people would have when they were discussing marriage and meeting each other as children.
Instead, he went straight to the point: "The task you asked me to do is going very smoothly. I'm a little anxious. Can you give me the thing in your hand first?"
"..." He didn't hide his purpose at all. It was late at night and he was still in his own room. There was no way to argue with him. He could only whisper, "Wait a moment!"
She took out the bag from under the dressing table and said softly, "There is a letter in front, but it is not convenient to give it to you because it involves Mrs. Hu's private affairs. The woman who poisoned is a relative of Mr. Hu and married a guard of Mr. Hu named Mu Qi. Most of these things were found out by Mu Qi. The person you are looking for may be him. He... should be quite powerful, so you have to pay attention to your own safety."
The gentle and rational tone made Qi Wu feel a little strange, sweet and sour, but he enjoyed it very much.
Finally, he just hummed and said, "I'll go back and take a closer look. If there's no problem, I'll go directly. Mother will come here after receiving the news and continue to handle...our business. Fourth brother is in charge of the daily household affairs. He has booked the Yuexuan Inn in the east of the city. If you have any questions, you can go there to find him."
"Okay, I understand."
Qi Wu looked at her silently for a long time before he said, "Are you okay?" When he heard what his fourth brother said, he was also shocked for a while.
"Huh? Oh, you mean the car flip? I'm fine."
"I don't have many people with me. How about asking Fourth Brother to send someone to you?"
"Not yet. I can do it."
"Do you know who it is?"
"perhaps……"
He was a little worried and felt that it was inappropriate to leave like this, but he didn't know what to do for a moment and was a little hesitant...
"Don't worry, everything is fine for now. At worst, I can go live with my grandfather in the Plum Garden..."
"Then... I'm leaving."
"good."
He took one last look at her, "Take care!" and turned and jumped out the window.
Wen Yu closed the window. This was the husband she was going to marry... Ha, the two of them were discussing something, their tone was calm, not shy, how come they looked like old friends! ?
Suddenly she heard a creaking sound in the yard. She held her breath, wanting to hear who it was...
She heard footsteps and someone came to her window. Perhaps he saw the candlelight was still on inside, so he hesitated for a while and then went back.
Wen Yu didn't open the window, so she didn't know that it was Hong Xing'er. She hadn't gone to bed yet and vaguely heard some noise outside... so she came out to check.
…
The next day, Mrs. Zhang sent her nanny to the Wen family to congratulate them.
The nanny's face was full of smiles, which showed that the master of the house had no grudges in his heart.
Fortunately, no one was offended...Mrs. Wen felt a little better.
Zhang Jiangqing is a very nice person, a warm-hearted man.
Qi is one of the five straight men.
