Xu Can suddenly felt that his self-torture during this period was simply stupid.
Instead of worrying about the outcome here, it is better to just ask the other person if they want you or not. Anyway, the worst outcome is being rejected.
How worse can it get?
There are so many things in this world that we cannot get, but when it comes to him, he is so afraid and evades like a turtle, and even asks his old father to stand up for him.
If he were the old lady, he would look down on me. He doesn't even dare to express his opinion on my own marriage. What can I expect from you in the future?
After thinking it through, Xu Can no longer worried about his father's answer and rode his horse towards the Qiao family.
Seeing him like this, the housekeeper immediately became worried and advised, "My Lord, do you want to send someone to stop the prince?"
Xiaoyao Hou sighed and waved his hand, saying, "No need, let him go. He will turn back when he hits a wall. It's better to give up after finding out everything clearly!"
Aren’t you afraid that the prince will get a bloody head and won’t turn back?
The butler hesitated for a moment, then calmly changed the subject: "Should we continue to invite the old lady to the Qiao Mansion for her flower viewing banquet?"
"Send it off. There are so many people in Beijing who have broken off engagements, married and divorced, but none of them have become enemies. There is only a hint of something going on between us and the Qiao family, and there is no sign of it. How can we just stop having any contact with each other forever?"
No matter what, without the Qiao Mansion, Caner wouldn't be as outstanding as he is today!"
When the butler heard this, he immediately understood his master's attitude.
.........
As soon as Xiaoyao Hou left, Qiao Yunting asked what happened to Qiao Xin?
"That kid Xu Can has set his sights on your eldest niece. Is Marquis Xiaoyao looking for us to get the inside scoop?"
"Yin'er is still young, right?" Qiao Yunting asked subconsciously.
In his impression, the children were only a small age, but he never expected that they had reached the age to start a family and build a career.
Qiao Xin sighed and said, "Erlang and the eldest lady are twins. They are sixteen in age and fifteen in reality. Other children of this age are already looking for a partner.
Second Lady and Third Brother were born in the same year but in different months. She is two years younger than them. Even Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother are almost ten years old. Even our family has moved to Laohu Town for almost seven or eight years.
"Too fast! Why do I suddenly feel like I've aged in the blink of an eye? However, my son thinks Xiaoyao Hou's offer is good, why are you not satisfied?"
Qiao Xin rolled her eyes at him and said, "No matter how good your conditions are, if your elders are not satisfied with you, do you think you can live a good life as his wife?
Men are busy outside, but the backyard is women's world. Do you think no one has been eyeing the position of Marquis Xiaoyao's wife for all these years?
Why is it still empty? Is Xiaoyao Hou really missing his old lover and never marrying? His mother and his brother's wife have been doing a lot of evil things! There are so many concubines in the backyard, why is Xu Can the only one? "
Qiao Xin was not in the capital, but that didn't mean she didn't know what was going on there. Gossip was flying everywhere in Yu Mancang and the cosmetics shop.
One is a good place for men to drink and brag in their spare time, and the other is a base for women to show off and compete with each other.
When rich and powerful women get together, they only do three things: show off themselves in roundabout ways, slander others openly or covertly, and spy on each other and gossip about each other.
When you are young, you compare food, clothing and other expenses. When you get married, you compare your husband’s status and love.
Whether you love someone or not can’t just be expressed with words, you have to take some practical actions!
What kind of cosmetics did you buy for yourself today, what kind of fabric did you buy for yourself tomorrow, what kind of headgear did you buy for yourself the day before yesterday...
In the peaceful years, these women who lived far away from the frontier gradually developed a trend of extravagance and competition. The expenses spent on food, drink and entertainment probably increased.
Qiao Xin probably knows better than some of the ladies in the inner palace how much their respective households spend and how much their husbands spend on their mistresses.
The more than 30 shops on the most prosperous commercial street in Kyoto were all built by Qiao Xin. Although most of the houses were just for rent, the hired clerks, children, and even the uncles and aunts who swept the floor could bring useful information to the Qiao family.
Eating, drinking, having fun and shopping are not enough here. Today an adult bought a piece of jade here, and tomorrow someone else bought a few pieces of Shu brocade here.
All the scattered information was gathered together and finally reached Qiao Xin.
You can always get some useful information.
During the first period after returning, Qiao Xin took Nanny Qin and several grandchildren to eat melons and have a great time.
She is not boring either. Instead, she teaches children how to extract useful information from these seemingly insignificant pieces of news.
This kind of knowledge cannot be learned in academies or from teachers.
Qiao Xin passed on statistical knowledge to her grandchildren in the belief that more skills are better than less. For this purpose, she specially selected the children's good friends as special examples for her explanation.
The focus was on the situation in the homes of Xu Can, Guan Jianze, Lu Le and others.
It was at that time that she started paying attention to Xiaoyao Hou's backyard and realized how outrageous his old mother's partiality was.
Not all parents in this world love their children. Parents all over the world are definitely partial. But it is unbelievable that they are partial to Xiaoyao Hou's mother.
Not only did he ruin Xiaoyao Hou's marriages one after another, he also controlled the power of the Hou Mansion's backyard even though he was buried up to his neck. He also spared no effort to join forces with outsiders to discredit him and strangle his own grandson.
Ba Zhi was anxious for his eldest son to die without an heir so that he could adopt the child from the second wife and further obtain the title of marquis.
His second wife's family is just a bunch of blood-sucking worms living in Xiaoyao Marquis's Mansion. They do nothing but eat and drink all day long.
In recent years, Xiaoyao Hou has been frequently cleaning up the mess for them and he is no longer able to cope with it.
The reason why Xu Can has not married yet is partly due to his own wishes and partly due to his family's deliberate indulgence.
