After that day, You Tingrong suddenly fell ill. For the first time, You Guitai became anxious and angry about his daughter's condition, and could not help but secretly scold You Tingrong for his poor health.

I have given you numerous instructions to my third aunt, be sure to take good care of her.

Mrs. You sat on the edge of the bed and personally gave You Tingrong medicine. She took bowl after bowl of bitter medicine, but she didn't get better.

At night, Mrs. You slept next to her daughter, caressing You Tingrong's pale cheek with a distressed look on her face, and whispered: "If it doesn't work, just think of another way, but don't ruin your body."

"Don't worry, mother, my daughter knows what's going on."

"Although your grandmother loves you, she cares most about your father. How could she let go so easily?" Mrs. You has been with the old lady for many years and knows her mother-in-law very well. She couldn't help wiping her tears as she said, "My mother is also useless.

It is said that marriage is an important matter that is ordered by parents and a matchmaker. Mother cannot arrange it for you, which is why you suffer..."

You Tingrong leaned in her mother's arms and shook her head gently, "My mother has raised her daughter so well. She is already the best mother in the world."

You Tingrong's maternal grandfather's family was originally a well-known scholarly family in Qiyang County, and his ancestor was still an official in the capital. Unfortunately, the family fell into decline. In his generation, his grandfather was just a retired scholar. He opened a private school in Qiyang and had countless students, including You Guitai.

one of them.

Mrs. You was as well-read and literate as her brothers in the family. She was talented in literature and had a gentle and quiet temperament. She married You Guitai at a low age. It was because her grandfather thought that You Guitai had some ability in reading that he nodded. Unfortunately, people can become

"Don't worry, the human heart is made of flesh. As long as you act appropriately, you will always be soft-hearted."

In order to reassure his mother, You Tingrong said slowly: "For the past six months, I have been collecting dew for my grandmother to make tea and soup every day, and the sun has never set at dawn and dusk. Now my grandmother feels uncomfortable even if she can't see me for a day."

"

"What's more, I found a good job for Zhou's mother's son in the capital. His wife was pregnant and was in a hurry for money, so I gave him fifty taels of silver."

Mrs. You opened her eyes in surprise, "Where did you get so much money?"

"Of course I rely on my father's respect."

"Mother Zhou would help me add alum to the water used by my grandmother to make tea and medicine, which makes the taste sour. The soothing incense at night can also be used for my hands and feet. After leaving me these days, my grandmother will only have trouble eating and sleeping." You.

Tingrong said softly, "My physical discomfort will make my grandmother overestimate her love for me."

"At that time, my mother will push again and let my grandmother realize that if I continue to push, I may not have a way to survive..."

Madam You quickly pressed You Tingrong's lips, "Don't say such unlucky words in the future!"

You Tingrong leaned against her mother affectionately and comforted her: "Don't worry, mother, my daughter can't bear to leave you."

"In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, the marriage should be settled as soon as possible. When the time comes, my father will save his face and will not break off the engagement." You Tingrong asked Qing Ding to deliver the news to the third aunt. Although the third aunt was very thoughtful, she loved You Ting the most.

Jiao, for the sake of my biological daughter, I will not sit idly by.

Mrs. You was worried about Third Yiniang, "People's hearts are different, so you have to look again at the people recommended by Third Yiniang to see if they are worth relying on."

You Tingrong smiled sweetly, and her heart felt warm. Only her mother could love her wholeheartedly like this.

"Don't worry, they are all good people." Despite Mrs. You's suspicious eyes, You Tingrong did not hesitate.

These two young masters, You Tingrong, have little contact with each other, but neither of them is a creature in the pool.

Xue Shanli lives up to his name. Although he comes from a family of scholars, he is a good businessman. Not only did he run his mother's shop prosperously, but he also became a world-famous God of Wealth in the future. The war with Nan Cang in his previous life

, Xue Shanli generously donated one million taels of gold from his family wealth, which shocked the jaws of all the civil and military officials in the dynasty. This shows that his wealth is comparable to that of the country.

As well-known as his wealth and prosperity, he was reputed to be henpecked. He only married one wife and obeyed her daughter-in-law. When the war ended, Shan Yunxin specially invited him to attend the annual banquet, and Xue Shanli also asked for a royal decree for his wife.

As for Zhao Shaoan, he was truly a noble son from a poor family. He was the number one scholar in the first imperial examination of the new dynasty, and he was even more famous for winning three yuan in a row. On the day of the election, he won the favor of Shan Yunxin. When he entered the dynasty, he was the son of the imperial family and became her son.

Yi'an's lecturer.

Shan Yunxin even said in private that he intended to make him the Crown Prince Zhan Shi. If he accumulated some years, he could be the Prince's Young Master. This Zhao Shao'an was also famous for not being close to women, being clean and self-sufficient, and his character, talent, and learning were both reliable.

It has to be said that the third aunt has a vicious vision, but it is a pity that in her previous life, You Tingjiao disliked the two of them because they were not from a noble family, so they could not achieve anything.

——

You Tingrong had been ill for less than half a month, and the old lady rarely left the yard and came to the main room to visit You Tingrong who was bedridden.

When the old lady came, she saw You Guitai scolding Madam You for being useless. When she saw the old lady coming, she said hello and left angrily.

Mrs. You wept in front of the old lady, "I hired three doctors and poured in three different doses of medicine every day. The medicine was three parts poisonous, so I secretly reduced some..."

Mrs. You secretly glanced at the old lady and saw her mother-in-law couldn't bear it. She followed her daughter's instructions and continued crying: "Mother, you watched Rong'er grow up. My wife is useless. I only got this daughter when I was twenty-seven years old."

, my wife only wants her to be happy."

The old lady sighed, closed her eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

"Forget it, I'll check out the opinions of those two families. If Rong'er has figured it out, I'll make the final decision on the marriage first."

Mrs. You burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, mother!"

——

As soon as the old lady left, the third aunt came.

Mrs. You sent all the maids away, and then the third aunt came to You Tingrong, "Miss, I have found out clearly that Mr. Xue runs a bookstore in the east city of Beijing, and the eighth day of every month is the day for auditing the accounts."

"As for Mr. Zhao, the academy has three days of bathing between the 15th and 18th of every month. Mr. Zhao often visits Yongxin Tea House." The third aunt carefully observed You Tingrong's expression, "When the eldest lady is better, I can see it with my own eyes."

look."

The third aunt was originally very proud, thinking that there was a reward in front of her, and it was a sure thing that You Tingjiao would be favored. Unexpectedly, You Tingjiao actually lived in the same palace with Dong Yao. Not to mention how much she suffered, she had not even seen the emperor's face.

It's been forgotten!

You Guitai was uncharacteristically attentive when he went to the main room, but instead treated You Tingjiao unconditionally. As soon as the third aunt put it all together, she knew something was wrong.

You Ting Rong was also lucky enough to meet His Majesty when he went to hide in a Buddhist temple. At the Chi family, he was so reluctant to refuse and even welcomed him, that he actually fell in love with the Emperor!

The reward given to You Tingjiao was gold and jade, with the outer part covered with lint. What’s more, gold hairpins always come in pairs, so how could anyone give just one? On the contrary, the reward given to You Tingrong was simple on the outside, but precious and valuable on the inside.

Be thoughtful.

If You Tingrong is really called into the palace, how can her Tingjiao survive?

Therefore, a message came from Qingmachi, telling the third aunt that You Tingrong had taken a liking to these two young men, and the third aunt was so anxious that she wanted to get engaged immediately.

"Thank you, Third Aunt, for your trouble." You Tingrong seemed to have no energy and sat up with his body propped up.

She leaned close to Third Yiniang's ear and her voice was very soft.

"Tell my second sister that Your Majesty likes the pipa and his favorite song is "The Wild Geese Falling on the Flat Sand"."

Third Yiniang was so happy that she almost fainted and thanked her repeatedly.

I sighed in my heart, the eldest lady appears to be pure and innocent on the surface, but in her heart she knows everything about a man's thoughts!

Qing Machi stared at the back of the third aunt as she walked away briskly, and itched her teeth with hatred, "Look at her proud look! She is always pretending!"

After saying that, he took the spittoon and handed it to the bedside. You Tingrong pressed the back of his tongue and spit out the medicine. He wiped his mouth with a pale face and said, "Don't let anyone see it."

"If she hadn't suggested it to the master, hire three doctors and take three doses of medicine, how could you become more and more serious?" Aomachi sneaked out and showed the dregs of the medicine to the pharmacy clerk. Only then did he realize that these medicines should not be mixed at all.

If taken together, the medicinal properties will conflict.

If you think about it carefully, you still don't understand.

Third Yiniang was so vicious that she wanted to harm You Tingrong and force You Guitai to give up her eldest daughter.

You Tingrong sneered, "Since they want it so much, I'll give it to her."

The third aunt, mother and daughter, want to take this dead end, so it’s no wonder that You Tingrong ignores blood ties and family ties. You Tingrong is willing to help You Tingjiao, so that she can go with her heart and become a doting woman.

's beloved concubine.
