Chapter 101 This Game is Secure
Chapter 101 This Game is Secure
Zou became more and more displeased with Lin Wanhui, and thought to herself that it was a good thing that she was careful and did not really question Su Jin. After all, after the last incident with Jin Mingchi, the old lady began to think that Lin Wanhui was unreliable.
Zou said slowly: "Madam, you have done a great job. Since we are all here, let's take a look together."
Lin Wanhui wants to see it, so let her see it. It would be great if her, the biological mother, had to approve it. However, even if she is the biological mother, she has no say.
Zou snorted coldly, thinking that if it was just the eldest lady and Lin Wanhui, maybe Lin Wanhui could still get a say in front of this cousin, but as for herself, forget it.
In the end, Lin Wanhui had to come to me to make trouble. How stupid!
"Yes, mother."
Su Jin handed the list to Wen's mother, who then took it forward.
Lin Wanhui stretched her neck, she was anxious to see the list, to see if Su Jin was targeting Yun Ge'er, and if she had fooled her son with the betrothal gift!
However, when the old lady looked at her, Lin Wanhui's heart skipped a beat, but she finally lowered her head.
The room was very quiet. The betrothal gift list also represented the reputation of the Marquisate. The old lady looked at it carefully. Su Jin ate and drank on the side, very casually.
The taste of this egg tart is really authentic. I don’t know how the heroine made it. In this era, the most precious thing is milk. Although sugar is also expensive, it can be bought at least. As for milk, there is little production in the Central Plains, only in the northwest grasslands.
While eating, Su Jin felt that she should go back and get a cup of milk tea, which would be just right with the egg tart.
"Yeah, not bad."
The old lady was obviously very satisfied with Su Jin's betrothal gift list, and added: "I will add another 1,000 taels of silver and a pair of golden wine cups to him, and that's it."
One thousand ounces of silver and a pair of golden wine cups?
Lin Wanhui felt better and better and quickly stood up to thank the old lady.
Zou snorted coldly, and finally said, "Mother Wen, make a copy of this list for Miss Lin."
"yes!"
Mother Wen took the list, quickly finished copying it, and handed it to Lin Wanhui.
As soon as she took it, she couldn't wait to unfold it, but she heard the old lady coldly say to drive her away: "Go back and read it, I have something to say to the eldest lady."
Lin Wanhui bit her lip, as if she didn't want him to hear it. She didn't know what it was about.
"Yes, ma'am."
Lin Wanhui had no choice but to leave, but she didn't want to stay. She wanted to go back and take a look at the betrothal gift list.
After Lin Wanhui left, the old lady said, "I heard that the young master of the Yin Mansion said on Jinming Lake that he wanted to marry the fourth girl. What do you think, madam? I think it's a good match. The Marquis' Mansion and the Prince Consort's Mansion are also considered a good match."
The news of that day spread quickly, and Zou also heard about it.
Originally, Sui Yu was arranged to meet the son of the Sansi Envoy's family that day, but who knew that some twists and turns would occur. The Sansi Envoy's family rejected the marriage, but the young master of the Prince Consort's Mansion said in front of so many people that he wanted to marry Sui Yu.
Although the people from the Prince Consort's Mansion have not come yet, Zou has always felt that this marriage is a good one, and the Grand Princess is also very close to the current emperor. If it can be successful, it will also be equivalent to bringing the current emperor and the Marquis' Mansion closer together. Presumably, the Marquis will no longer be neglected when he goes to court in the future.
Zou was thinking about the interests of the Marquis' Mansion in her mind. No matter how she looked at it, this marriage was better than the one with the Three Envoys. Moreover, the young master was crying and shouting that he wanted to marry Sui Yu. This was such a good thing that she couldn't even dream of.
The more Zou thought about it, the happier she became. She couldn't help but smile when she spoke. She felt that Su Jin would definitely agree to this marriage. Look, what a great family they were!
"Mom, it's just a joke from the child. Don't take it to heart."
Su Jin told the truth, and Zou immediately frowned, obviously unhappy.
"How can it be a joke? The emperor also went to Jinming Lake that day, so he must have heard it. Since the emperor has not expressed his opinion now, it is not a joke."
Su Jin: ...
"Young Master Yin is indeed a good person, but the eldest princess is the most picky and I'm afraid she will look down on Sui Yu. Even if Sui Yu can marry him, she will have to endure the anger of her mother-in-law. Does mother really want Sui Yu to suffer?"
This sentence made Zou speechless. How could she, as a grandmother, speak? Was she willing to let Sui Yu suffer injustice?
Of course she was unwilling to do so, but every daughter would go through this after getting married. Even she had suffered from her mother-in-law's bullying. There was no other mother-in-law in the world as good as hers, who never bossed Su Jin around and suppressed Lin Wanhui for so many years. Otherwise, this concubine would have jumped up and down long ago.
As a result, now the lady actually told her to suffer with Sui Yu?
This little bit of anger doesn't matter. As long as she can help her mother's family get better and have a strong backing, who would dare to make her angry?
Zou obviously didn't like what Su Jin said, so she said, "Take some time to go to the Prince Consort's Mansion and ask the Grand Princess what she thinks."
Su Jin: “…”
She just wanted to say, old lady, you should rest as soon as possible, dreaming is more realistic.
Yin Zhengnan should really like Sui Yu, but if he can't resist the Grand Princess, then Sui Yu will have a hard time marrying him. If he could make his own decision, he would have proposed to her long ago. Why would they have to go and ask the Grand Princess for her opinion?
"Well! Then let's wait until Brother Yun is done with his work."
The main tactic is to procrastinate. Maybe if you keep procrastinating, it will fail?
Time can verify everything.
Zou finally nodded in satisfaction.
Not long after Su Jin left, Gu Changqing came. He had also heard about what happened at Jinming Lake and was in a good mood.
Gu Ruyu, this troublesome person, danced on the Jinming Lake, which angered the emperor and made her and her father unable to raise their heads in front of the emperor. However, who would have thought that there would be good news later.
The eldest princess’s youngest son actually fell in love with Sui Yu. This is a great thing!
I thought Sui Yu had to marry a lower class because of Lin Yousheng's incident, but who would have thought that things would take a turn for the better and she was favored by Yin Zhengnan again.
Good, very good. If I can get this marriage, it will be a good thing for myself and the Marquis' Mansion. Moreover, the previous gossips will surely not be spread anymore. After all, who dares to spread gossips about the royal family?
The more Gu Changqing thought about it, the happier he became.
"Mother, regarding Sui Yu's matter, I want to go and find out what Master Yin Qingyin has to say after the court session tomorrow."
Yin Qing is Yin Zhengnan's father. He holds the title of Deputy Governor-General, a third-rank official. Although it is only a third-rank official, it is much higher than Gu Changqing, who holds the fifth-rank official.
"Okay, you go check it out. The lady is not feeling well, so there is no need for her to go."
Zou still disliked Su Jin's opposition. Since he opposed it, he probably wouldn't care about the matter. It would be safer to let her son go.
Now the Marquis's Mansion has secured two good marriages.
Yun'er's marriage has been settled. She is the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. Now Sui Yu is marrying into the Yin Mansion. Doesn't that mean our Marquis Mansion is secure?
