529 Mai Xiang’s marriage

In the Shangguan Mansion, several people were lying in disarray. Dai Wei was leading people to check the injuries. When he saw Shangguan Yu coming back with Chu Yiqing and Li Huang, he quickly stepped forward to report: "Master, two people died and two were injured."

Eight people, but the thieves did not succeed, and the hostages are still fine! Hanwu has led people to chase them out!"

Shangguan Yu nodded, stepped forward to check the injuries of several people, and ordered in a cold voice: "Hurry up and ask the doctor to treat them well, and comfort the families of the dead!"

Dai Wei quickly responded.

"How?" Chu Yiqing stepped forward and asked.

"Lan Die is still in a safe place, they haven't found it, but this is the second time such an incident has happened!" Shangguan Yu whispered, "It seems Lan Yi still doesn't give up!"

Chu Yiqing frowned, "I didn't expect Lan Yi and Lan Die to have a deep love for each other!"

"The higher a person is, the more he cherishes feelings without any impurities!" Li Huang whispered, "It seems that Lan Die must be saved!"

Shangguan Yu quickly said: "I can't let Lan Die go. Firstly, she is cruel and pestering me. I'm really afraid that she will do something terrible. Secondly, with Lan Die in hand, I am also worried about Lan Die."

A great restraint of one!”

Li Huang nodded: "It seems that Lan Die needs to be transferred. Only in this way, if Lan Die is not in Shangguan Mansion, will Lan Yi let Shangguan Mansion go!"

"Then which place is the safest?" Shangguan Yu frowned. Now that he was going to the capital soon, Chu Han left Helian Bingshuang and his children behind in Shangguan Mansion. He was really worried that Lan Yi would take advantage of him.

Leave and do nothing to harm Helian Bingshuang and his son again.

"Leave the person to me, and I will secretly transport the person to the Tianlao. No matter how powerful Lan Yi is, it may not be that easy to fish someone out of the Tianlao!" Li Huang

whispered.

Shangguan Yu and Chu Yiqing looked at each other and immediately felt that this was a good idea.

Without further ado, Li Huang immediately ordered Lei Ting to go to the dungeon of Shangguan Mansion and take the person away.

Because Lan Die's incident disturbed the two families' interest in eating, after cleaning up the house, Shangguan Yu followed Chu Yiqing and Li Huang back to the house and picked up Helian Bingshuang's mother and son.

After Shangguan Yu's family left, Li Huang gave Lei Lei a few more words and asked him to leave with them.

In the room, Chu Yiqing sat quietly. She didn't go and see what happened to Lan Die, and she didn't want to see it. The past grudges and grudges had been cancelled, and now she was just like a stranger to Lan Die.

"Miss, the cherries are here!" Seeing that Chu Yiqing was idle, Ying Qian came forward to report in a low voice.

"Cherry? When did you come?" Chu Yiqing was stunned. He wanted to ask Shandan last time at home, but there were so many people talking and there was no chance to be alone together. In addition, what happened in Lucheng, Chu Yiqing

I no longer had that thought, but I didn't expect the cherry to come by itself.

"I came here in the morning. When I saw that the lady had guests, I helped Zai Zai in the house. Now I see that the lady is fine, so I came to report it!" Yingqian said quickly.

"Let her in quickly, I may not have seen her for a long time!" Chu Yiqing said quickly.

Yingqian responded quickly and brought the cherry soon.

After two years of not seeing each other, Cherry has become more mature and capable. She wears a purple double-breasted jacket on her upper body, a long cotton skirt on her lower body, and a silk flower on her head. She is simple and generous, but there is a hint of sadness in her expression. When she sees Chu Yiqing, she also

Just salute quickly.

"Cherry, get up quickly and let me take a look at you. It's been a long time since we last saw you, and you seem to have grown taller again!" Chu Yiqing affectionately pulled her to sit aside.

"Miss, I knew you were coming back. I wanted to come and see you early in the morning, but my parents didn't allow me to go out. That's why it's been delayed until now. Don't blame me, Miss!" Cherry said in a low voice.

"We haven't seen each other for more than two years, and you can still speak these official words! I know a little bit about you from Mai Xiang. Now that you are like this, I can guess 70% of it. Let me ask you, is your father now?

What's your plan?" Chu Yiqing said with a smile, gently stroking her thick braids.

As soon as she mentioned this matter, Yingtao immediately got down from the chair and knelt down, "Tingtao came here this time just to ask the young lady to make the decision! My parents want to marry me to Zhao Sansheng from Zhaojiatun, but Yingtao is not willing!"

"Zhao Sansheng from Zhaojiatun? Why haven't you heard Shandan mentioned it?" Chu Yiqing was stunned and asked strangely.

"Eldest sister doesn't know yet. This is what my father and mother whispered last night. I heard it and I couldn't help it. I ran out of the house yesterday. There was no carriage coming to the town, so I walked all the way.

I just arrived today just to ask Miss to make the decision for Yingtao!" Yingtao kowtowed again.

Chu Yiqing roughly understood this matter. She frowned and whispered: "Qingying, although you are following me, you did not sign a contract of sale. I cannot make the final decision on your life-long affairs. You should go back to your parents."

Let’s discuss it carefully!”

But Tao Tao refused to get up, and begged again: "Miss, Tao Tao knows that Miss Tao is in trouble, but Tao Tao is really desperate. Zhao Sansheng has never seen Tao Tao, and even if she had seen him, she wouldn't like him. Tao Tao was determined to leave home back then.

, I just want to be the master of my own family, and I can't be like some of my sisters who hastily made a decision for life just after meeting the man once! My eldest sister and her brother-in-law have a harmonious relationship, but the third sister was beaten by the third brother-in-law.

, but the parents only said that a married daughter belongs to someone else’s family, and parents cannot interfere in their children’s affairs…but now they interfere!”

Chu Yiqing frowned. Tao Tao's personality was different from that of Shan Dan. Shan Dan was steady and stable, while Tao Tao was lively and lively. Now that she has fallen in love with the scholar named Ding, she is afraid that she will never look back until she hits the wall!

"What about you..." Chu Yiqing asked tentatively.

"Miss, his name is Ding Han. He is a scholar. He knows everything. He is very well-educated and an honest person. He is quite nice to me. But his family is poor and he may not be able to provide the betrothal gifts my parents want!

"Cherry sighed quietly.

"Is your relationship with him already on the verge of marriage?" Chu Yiqing asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Not yet. He still wants to study. He said he would take the exam in two years. Now he has no money to study, not to mention the bride price..." Cherry sighed.

Chu Yiqing remembered what Mai Xiang had said. Now it seems that Ying Tao was in Lushan and didn't know his true identity. He thought that Ding Han was motivated to make progress, not because Ding's mother disliked her...

While they were talking, Yingqian came to report again: "Miss, Sister Shandan is here!"

When Cherry heard this, her face immediately turned pale and she shouted: "My sister is here to catch me!"

Chu Yiqing could only comfort her and said: "Don't worry, I'll talk to your sister, you go to the back room first!"

Cherry nodded quickly, got up and followed Yingqian into the back room.

Sun Shandan came here with Ergazi. Yesterday he learned that Cherry had escaped. He searched for half a day at home but couldn't find it, so he guessed that he must have arrived in the town. No, he wouldn't visit relatives in the morning, so he quickly got on the carriage and rushed to the town.

Come, when I inquired, I found out that I was really here, and even came to Qi Mansion... As soon as Sun Shandan walked in, his face was full of apologies.

"Miss Chu, my girl has caused trouble for you. If I had known that one day, she would not have allowed her to come out even if she told me to break the sky. But now that she has come out, my heart has gone wild!" Sun Shandan stepped forward with a frown on his face.

said.

"Shandan, please calm down first. I also understand a little bit about the cherry. What are the aunt and uncle thinking now?" Chu Yiqing asked her to sit down and said slowly.

"What my parents mean is that the cherry is really not young now. It's sixteen or seventeen years old. It's time to get married. But we should know who we are. Ding Han and my parents asked someone to inquire about it years ago. Their ancestors still have

There was someone who had been a seventh-grade county magistrate. Although it was now in decline, he still claimed to be from a scholarly family. That mother Ding’s vision was even higher. My parents wanted to make the cherry blossoms come true, so they asked a matchmaker to come to the door, but they didn’t dare to say it yet.

He was from the country, and he only said that he was working for a wealthy family. Who would have thought that when Mother Ding heard this, she kicked the matchmaker out without saying a word, and she was so ugly... My parents didn't tell Ying Tao about this, for fear of her.

Knowing that she was sad, she asked a matchmaker to find a family in Zhaojiatun. Although the young people were honest and had no skills, they were all the same people. When they heard that Yingtao was working as a maid for Miss Chu in the town, they were very happy and even looked at each other.

He didn't even look at it, and he agreed immediately, but he didn't expect that Yingtao overheard it and ran away from home on the spot. Now the Zhaojiatun people don't dare to respond, for fear of having a bad impact!" Sun Shandan sighed and said, "Chu

Girl, I know you have been busy with your marriage since you came back, so I really shouldn’t bother you anymore. Cherry is just too disobedient. In the past two years, I have become more and more wild!"

"So, the aunt and uncle have planned for her, but that family..." Chu Yiqing pondered for a moment and said, "Shandan, Yingying has done a lot with Maixiang in recent years, but now she is older

It's time to find a good family for her. I haven't seen that family before, so I can't say anything now. I have nothing to do tomorrow, so why not go and have a look!"

Shan Dan was stunned and whispered: "Miss Chu, how can we go to someone's house for no reason? Besides, it's the Chinese New Year..."

"If you want to go, just go. No matter what outsiders say, I have to visit that house before I can plan for Cherry!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile.

Shandan could only nod.

Chu Yiqing turned his eyes and ordered Yingqian: "Let Shishi go back to his village to pick up Miss Mai Xiang!"

Sun Shandan was stunned and asked in confusion: "Miss Chu, what does this matter have to do with Mai Xiang?"

Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Maixiang has also reached the age of getting engaged. Sometimes, you can see other people's affairs clearly, but you may not know your own affairs clearly!"

Sun Shandan naturally didn't understand, but since Chu Yiqing did this, there must be a reason for her, so he immediately said: "Don't bother me fifteen, I'll go back with Father Mopan, and I'll bring Mai Xiang with me tomorrow!"

Chu Yiqing nodded and said, "Just let Cherry stay in the town for the time being!"

Sun Shandan nodded.

The next day, Sun Shandan came from Shangjia Village with Maixiang, and Chu Yiqing took them to Ding Han's home.

Ding Han's home is on the oldest street in Wuming Town. It looks like a big house from the front, but it has declined. Most of the frontage has been taken away by a newly built house next door, leaving only two dark doors.

With four or five steps.

Yingqian came from the other end of the street and nodded towards Chu Yiqing. Chu Yiqing also ordered Yingqian to knock on the door. It took a long time before someone answered the door. The person who answered the door was an old woman in her fifties or sixties.

At the age of 30, she was wearing a white washed robe. The material was good, but the style was a bit old. She stood at the door and looked at the four people. She was about to ask when she heard Yingqian say: "Auntie,

Do you still know me? The niece of my neighbor Aunt Wang, I heard you say that you wanted to find a job for your son. No, there happened to be a master who wanted to find a teacher for his son. I told Brother Ding about his conditions.

They were very satisfied and asked to come and have a look!"

The woman was a little unsure for a moment, but when she heard that she was looking at the teacher, she nodded, opened the courtyard door and said, "Please come in!"

Chu Yiqing brought Sun Shandan and Mai Xiang in.

The yard was not big, and there were some sundries placed there. Perhaps when he heard someone coming in, Ding Han, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, raised the curtain and went out, asking: "Mom, who is it?"

Ding's mother said directly: "I'm here to ask for my wife. You go and study. Mother will come to greet you!"

Ding Han hugged Chu Yiqing and the others and hurried back to the house.

Mother Ding led Chu Yiqing and others into the main room without giving up her seat. She sat arrogantly on the main seat. Without even saying a polite word, she directly asked: "I wonder what Madam's family does for a living?

How old is the child?”

Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "I farm some land and do some small business on weekdays. My child is three years old and he is just enlightened. As long as we can find a good teacher for the child, we can easily discuss the monthly payment!"

"It turns out it's a merchant's home!" Mother Ding raised her chin slightly, her eyes becoming more arrogant, "Everything is low-grade, but reading is a good thing. Children should be allowed to study, so as not to let their children have such a low-class career in the future.

!”

As soon as Ding's mother said these words, Yingqian and Maixiang couldn't help but feel angry. They thought to themselves, this Ding's mother really doesn't promote her reputation. She only thinks that she is from a scholarly family. Reading is such a noble thing.
