Her son and grandson had all gone out, and even the second wife had said goodbye to her, but there was no news from the third wife yet!
Qiao Xin waited for a long time but no one reported that the Third Lady had gone out, so she couldn't help but ask about Manager Yu.
Steward Yu smiled and said, "People in the Third Lady's courtyard said that the young lady disliked the crowds and didn't plan to go out. Lord Shi is accompanying the Third Lady to check the accounts in the octagonal pavilion!"
Qiao Xin: ...
The beautiful spring weather is perfect for going out and having fun, but why did Sanniang do the opposite? Why did she choose this time to settle the score when there was no other time to do so?
The first time she went on a date with someone, they actually looked at the account book together. Qiao Xin couldn’t imagine what kind of scene that was!
Shi Jingmo actually agreed so carelessly. Wouldn't he find it boring?
"Little girl, are you trying to use this method to make people give up?"
Nanny Qin explained, "I have heard the maids around Third Lady say something. Third Lady simply felt that there were too many people here today and was afraid of any accidents, so she didn't want to join in the fun!
Our daughter doesn't need to be restricted like other families. She can go out anytime she wants. Don't worry about this for a while!"
Qiao Xin thought for a moment and said, "That's right. There are many people and there are many troubles. It is inevitable that there will be some mistakes. Let her do what she wants. Just let the followers serve her attentively!"
Qiao Xin had heard that there would always be a few accidents during the Shangsi Festival every year, resulting in a few couples becoming unwillingly married.
Whether it is a real accident or a man-made one, if it doesn't happen to you, not many people really care about the reasons behind it.
The single tax in Dajing Country is so high that not all families are willing to pay this money for their children.
Nanny Qin smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Third Lady must have her own reasons for doing this. The gentlemen are not willing to take care of the chores, and they don't know how hard it is to be the mistress of the house. It's not a bad thing to test their attitudes!"
For example, when her second daughter tested Guan Jianze, they had a duel and finally beat him up.
Now isn’t General Guan following the second young lady all day long?
Don’t try to guess what the children are thinking. Old guys like you won’t be able to guess!
Qiao Xin herself has no experience in love and has no experience to offer to the children.
She is more realistic and thinks marriage is nothing more than an exchange of interests. If you invest too much affection, it will easily hurt others and yourself.
Since she couldn't see through it, she didn't ask too much. Anyway, the little girl wouldn't hide it from her in the end.
She turned around and asked Nanny Qin: "Is Lingshu okay?"
"It's all right. Both families have agreed to it. We'll start asking for the bride price and the name on the eighth day of next month. The eldest lady came over this morning and mentioned it. Didn't you just send them away?
General Guan is quite courageous. He actually separated the first and second wives. When the second daughter gets married, she will live in a separate house and won't be mixed up with their second uncle!"
"Both of our daughters got married and the family was divided while the elders were still alive. There must be a lot of gossip out there, right?"
"Whether the family is divided or not, there will always be people gossiping about it. Why should the old lady care about these things? The girls should live a comfortable life!"
"That's right. If you want to marry our girl, you have to show some sincerity!"
Qiao Xiao was chatting with Nanny Qin about the marriage of her children in the mansion. The experiences of the Qiao family's sons were quite interesting.
They were sitting on the second floor of their own teahouse, and in just a short while they had already witnessed three girls who had fallen into the water being rescued. There were also a few girls who were competing overtly or covertly, using all their tricks to attract the attention of the boys they liked...
Qiao Dalang covered his forehead with one hand, he couldn't bear to watch any longer!
The stories that his grandmother had told him when he was a child were now being played out vividly before his eyes.
If he had known this would happen, he would have accompanied his third brother to visit Mr. Fan!
He no longer had any interest in going downstairs and was thinking about going out through the back door when there were fewer people around and going home to rest.
Qiao Silang, who was standing at the window with half of his body leaning out, suddenly rubbed his arm, his voice full of excitement.
"Brother, look quickly. Isn't that Third Brother? The person next to him seems to be Mr. Fan's senior sister, right?"
"who?"
"Fan Ruying, Mr. Fan's beloved daughter! Ah, I get it. Third Brother is just taking advantage of others and has already set his sights on Senior Sister Ruying!"
Qiao Silang was not surprised by this result at all. His third brother was even more patient than his second uncle. You didn’t know what he wanted until the very end.
"Why are you yelling so much? We went to school together when we were young. Isn't it normal for you to meet your husband's children often?
Mr. Fan played an indispensable role in my third brother's success in the imperial examination! Isn't it common for a master and apprentice to become father-in-law and son-in-law?"
Qiao Wulang seemed to have discovered some new world. He was shaking his paws and talking incoherently with excitement.
"Yes, yes, it's very common, but why are uncle and aunt shopping together? Is uncle's old tree blooming?"
Qiao Dalang didn't even have time to drink his tea and ran to the window to look at his parents!
What did he see? His father actually bought a hairpin for his mother from a street vendor and put it directly on her head!
Qiao Wulang was enjoying the fun and was actually commenting on it!
"Does uncle have no money, or does auntie not want to go to the silver shop to buy things?
"Brother, it seems that all of Uncle's private money is kept by Auntie, do you want us to help Uncle?"
Qiao Dalang felt that Wulang's IQ had dropped significantly today.
"Stop worrying about them. How could grandma not know that they are out shopping? If grandma knew, would dad have no money to spend? You should think about where you can find a wife to bring home later!"
Qiao Wulang: How could he forget about this!
The capital city is big, with so many people living there at the feet of the emperor, and they may not even meet once in several years. But the capital city is also very small!
Qiao Sanlang just wanted to take his junior sister to his own restaurant to eat something, but he actually met his uncle and aunt there.
The two of them seemed to be here to participate in the Shangsi Festival.
As soon as the few people met, Qiao Sanlang subconsciously protected the girl next to him.
Xu's eyes sparkled as she observed her nephew's words and actions with great interest.
He completely forgot the purpose of his coming out. There is probably something wrong with this kid.
I don’t know which girl made him so nervous.
There are too many bachelors in the family. It makes me angry just looking at them. It would be good if I could solve the problem of one of them.
"Which girl is Sanlang taking to appreciate the flowers?"
Qiao Sanlang knew he couldn't avoid it, so he simply pulled the girl forward to greet him.
When Xu took a look, she found that it was an acquaintance, Fan Yanqiu's daughter, Fan Ruying!
That was the good child that even my mother-in-law had praised. Although this child was born in a noble family, he did not have any of his father's scholarly qualities. His impetuous temperament made him seem just like a daughter raised by a military general.
Now he is doing business with his mother in Xihua County and is a very capable person.
