Zhu Hongxiu rushed to the main courtyard and heard that the old lady was going to rest. She did not dare to disturb her and immediately went to find Madam Zhu.
"Mother..." Zhu Hongxiu sat down beside the couch and pushed Madam Zhu, who was having a headache, and said, "Brother said he wanted to go to the temple to practice asceticism. Do you think brother would become depressed and become a monk?"
Madam Zhu was shocked and sat up suddenly: "When did this happen?"
"Just now! When my eldest brother found out that the Tang family had rejected the marriage proposal, he was very sad and said that he wanted to go to a temple to practice asceticism. My eldest brother was depressed when he was disfigured, but he didn't say that he wanted to go to a temple to practice asceticism. This blow is more serious than the disfigurement."
"I said that face was restless, and it turned out to be true. Before she even married into the mansion, she could easily tease my stupid son to do stupid things. If she married in the future, what would happen? This stupid boy never went out all year round, and never saw female guests. He was so simple-minded. I wonder how cunning those women are."
"Mother, it's rare for my elder brother to find someone he likes, so let's do what he wants!" Zhu Hongxiu said, "I'll send her another invitation and invite her to come to the mansion to persuade my elder brother not to go to the temple."
"This is the only way." Madam Zhu said, "It just so happens that I haven't seen him yet, so I'll take this opportunity to take a look."
Qin Huiyin looked at the post in her hand and said to Zhilan beside her, "Have the Zhu family's servants left?"
"I'm still waiting outside, waiting for your reply, miss!" Zhilan said.
"Then go and tell them that my father's death anniversary is coming, and my mother and I are going to pray for him. We have already made arrangements in advance. We will leave early tomorrow morning and won't be back for half a month."
"Will the eldest lady of the Zhu family be angry?" Su Jin asked from the side.
"She can be angry as she pleases. What's most important is that I am happy." Qin Huiyin said, "I just rejected their marriage proposal today, and now they send me an invitation to have tea in their house. Anyone with a discerning eye knows what this means. If I go, the Zhu family will think I am trying to marry someone of higher status. Of course I have to reject it. This is also to show my attitude, and at the same time let them know that we have no intention of marrying someone of higher status."
The daughter of the Minister of Personnel, most people from small families would be eager to make friends with her. She met her at Gong Qianyue's banquet, but they were just socializing normally due to etiquette, which did not mean that she had to flatter her.
Zhilan went out to reply to the letter.
Qin Huiyin handed the letter in her hand to Su Jin again: "Give this letter to Miss Wan'er across the street. She will know what's going on after reading it."
Today, I went to see the progress of the military factory, and it is now officially operational. Now the military factory has four families' shares, she has four shares, and the Rong family, the Li family, and the Xia family have two shares each. She handed over the operation of the military factory to Li Congxiao, and Xia Ruwan could cooperate when she was free.
Her energy is limited, and now she is focusing on the construction of the two streets of the Food City. You know, these two streets have caused such a big stir, the government is watching them all day long, and many people have been eyeing this piece of fat meat.
"Rejected?" Zhu Hongxiu was particularly unhappy when she heard the servant's reply. "Go and find out which temple they are going to."
The servant has just gone out.
"Miss, Miss Gong is here."
"Please come in." Zhu Hongxiu's eyes sparkled. "Yes, how could I forget her? She was the one who brought this person here and introduced him to us. They should have a better relationship."
As soon as Gong Qianyue entered the room, she noticed Zhu Hongxiu's face was full of worry, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, sister?"
Zhu Hongxiu waved at her, asked her to sit down, took her hand and said, "My dear sister, I am really worried to death. Please help me think of a solution."
"Sister, let me hear what you have to say."
"My silly brother, he fell in love with the Miss Qin you introduced to me." Zhu Hongxiu's face was full of sorrow. "My grandmother went to see my brother and found that he had painted a portrait of Miss Qin, so she asked me about it. I told her the truth about her identity, and my family sent a matchmaker to propose marriage."
"This is not a good thing! Brother Zhu has such a good character, and he is the eldest son of the Zhu family. Such a good marriage is something that others would not be able to ask for. Sister Qin is dignified, intelligent, open-minded and sensible, and she is also a very good person. Isn't this a match made in heaven?"
"The Tang family refused, saying they wanted to stay for two more years."
"That's understandable. I've often heard people mention that Lord Tang's stepsister is the most beloved one in the family. She's also a famous god of wealth. When she was in the county, everyone said that those who were on good terms with her were all very wealthy and had endless money. Of course, the Tang family couldn't bear to give away the god of wealth!"
There was a gleam in Zhu Hongxiu's eyes.
"It would be great if my brother could restore his appearance. My brother is talented, has noble character, and is of noble status. The only thing is that the disaster that happened back then damaged his appearance."
"Marry a virtuous wife, and marry a husband who doesn't look at the face. Have you ever seen anyone ask what the other person looks like when planning a marriage? This is not a problem." Gong Qianyue said, "I think everyone doesn't know each other well enough. As long as Brother Zhu and Sister Qin spend more time together, there is still room for improvement. Didn't I just say that the Tang family dotes on her, and as long as she nods, they will naturally not say anything."
"You're right. I should let my brother spend more time with her. At the same time, I have to continue to spend a lot of money to find herbs and miracle doctors to restore my brother's appearance as much as possible." Zhu Hongxiu said, "Even if it's not for the purpose of arranging a marriage, it's for his future. My brother is so talented, if his face hadn't been injured, he would have passed the imperial examination and won a good reputation long ago."
"Miss..." The maid came in, "The eldest master is packing his things and said he is going to the temple."
"Tell him right away that I'm sick. No, if I say that, he will definitely ask me to see a doctor. You said his cat is missing." Zhu Hongxiu said, "Send someone to hide the cat right away so that he can't find it. Take it out when it's very late. Then, find out which temple the Tang family is going to. When my brother goes to the temple tomorrow, take him there."
The Tang family will go to the temple to burn incense and eat vegetarian food for half a month. Coincidentally, her brother also wants to go to the temple. Isn't this an opportunity to get along?
A strange look flashed in Gong Qianyue's eyes.
If she could marry off Miss Qin, she would feel more at ease. She didn't know it before, and she only found out later that Tang Yichen and she were not biological siblings.
Although the two of them get along just like real siblings, they are not related by blood. And she is so pretty, so I would feel at ease if I could marry her off sooner rather than later.
"Brother Zhu has no experience with women. Even if we lead him there, can he do it alone? Should we go with him and take a look?"
