  Chapter 194 Malice

  In the hall filled with banquets, at this moment one could hear the sound of a pin drop. The concubines who were qualified to attend the banquet, the foreign wives who went to the banquet in court clothes, and the palace servants in brand-new red clothes all looked at the girl with her head down with curiosity or scrutiny.

  It’s just a very small number of people who have seen Xin You, and most of them who haven’t, are thinking: what kind of character is Miss Kou, who has done so many eye-catching things in Beijing.

   Among them, Mrs. Zhu, the first assistant's wife, opened her eyes wide and looked the most carefully.

  Since Mrs. Zhu suspected that her grandson might like Miss Kou, she sent someone to investigate. This investigation is so remarkable that the students of the Imperial College actually firmly believe that Miss Kou is a magician, and asking questions is the kind that was born out of the world, only they know.

  This girl not only treats money as money, but also plays tricks!

   Mrs. Zhu insists on her own identity, so it is not easy to go to Qingsong Bookstore, so I just have a chance to take a look today.

   While everyone was watching, Xin You raised her head.

  The queen mother saw Xinyou's appearance clearly, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

   She really looks like Zhaoyang!

  After a brief surprise, the Queen Mother did not feel any love for the house because of the resemblance between the girl and her daughter in front of her.

   Opening a bookstore again, and donating money to the banquet hosted by the prince, what does a little girl want to do?

  If it is placed in a troubled world, will it be like that woman who does not understand obedience, does not understand filial piety, and only knows how to stir up wind and rain?

   In the eyes of the queen mother, such a woman is really hateful.

   "It really looks good." The queen mother smiled, and turned her gaze to the old lady, "How old is your granddaughter?"

  The old lady hurriedly said: "After this year, I will be seventeen."

   "Seventeen years old, it's time to talk about marriage, I wonder if you have mentioned it?"

  The old lady's heart sank, and she didn't dare to lie: "I haven't said anything about my marriage yet."

  The ladies exchanged glances, wondering if the Queen Mother is going to match Miss Kou?

  The marriage chosen by the Queen Mother is sure to be correct, this Kou girl is really on the rise.

   "That's it." The queen mother smiled and looked at Xin You, "The Ai family likes this child just by looking at it. Since I haven't said goodbye yet, I will go back to the Ai family to see if there is a suitable son. What does the old lady think?"

   What else can the old lady say, but thank you: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness."

  Xin You bowed down.

   "Sit down, old lady, the food will be cold later."

  The old lady thanked her again, and took Xin You to the seat at the entrance of the hall.

  The old lady was full of excitement when she came, and every step seemed to be on a spring path full of flowers, but when she walked back, her footsteps became heavier and heavier.

  The scene of being summoned by the Queen Mother by name is ultimately false, and disrupting her arrangements for the marriage of her granddaughter is a real blow.

  With the Queen Mother's words, she will not be able to decide Qingqing's marriage.

  The old lady felt uncomfortable, but many wives were envious, especially the low-ranking ones.

   Those girls from the Duke's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are fine, and they don't have to worry about marrying without the Queen Mother's favor. Girls from four or five rank officials' families like them, that's all they need to do if they go to the right family. How can they compare with the Queen Mother as a matchmaker.

  The Shaoqing Mansion is really lucky.

  Amidst the envy, Princess Zhaoyang silently paid attention to the Queen Mother, her heart gradually sank.

  Although she doesn't get along with her mother, it can be seen that the mother is more like a daughter, and the queen mother doesn't like Miss Kou at all.

  What is the purpose of the Queen Mother saying these words? Point out a bad marriage to Miss Kou?

cannot.

  The queen mother spoke on this occasion, if she meant a bad marriage, it would be a shame to herself.

  What do you want to do? Princess Zhaoyang tightened her hand holding the wine glass, thinking of a possibility.

  After the queen mother said this in front of these foreign wives, there will be no family to propose marriage to Miss Kou in the future, because the queen mother wants to propose marriage to Miss Kou.

  But what if the mother "forgot"?

The old lady of the Shaoqing Mansion usually doesn't have the opportunity to meet the queen mother, and it is impossible to ask the question on occasions like Chaohe. After three to five years or even longer, let alone no one dares to ask the queen mother, if someone really wants to ask , The queen mother said that she forgot when she was old, who would dare to question it?

   And Miss Kou was delayed.

   Princess Zhaoyang was annoyed when she thought of this.

  It was too much for the queen mother to treat a little girl whom she met for the first time.

  Thinking of her mother disregarding her life and insisting on marrying her to a not-so-young local rich man, Princess Zhaoyang curled her lips in mockery.

  When she was an ordinary woman, she treated her own daughter like this, let alone when she became a pampered queen mother, she treated a little girl who had nothing to do with her.

  Princess Zhaoyang decided to invite Miss Kou to come over to chat with her after a few days of busy Chinese New Year.

  Concubine Shu found Princess Zhaoyang's cold face and smiled happily.

  This Miss Kou has a bad life. Although she looks like the eldest princess, her ability to stir up wind and rain in the capital is very similar to that woman.

   But the Queen Mother doesn't like that person the most.

  The Queen Mother's "grace", Ms. Kou, please enjoy it slowly.

  On the way back, seeing her granddaughter's face again, the old lady felt a little uncomfortable.

  The original 600,000 taels, in her heart, would return to Shaoqing Mansion sooner or later. It's good now, not only can't come back, because the queen mother pointed out the marriage, but also prepare an extra generous dowry.

  The old lady closed her eyes, upset and distressed.

  Xin You also lowered his eyes, thinking about the Queen Mother's intentions.

  The queen mother asked about her marriage in public, did she really have the hobby of being a matchmaker?

  I always feel uneasy.

   Not knowing what the Queen Mother was thinking for the time being, Xin You decided to take a step forward.

  Back to Shaoqing Mansion, Duan Shaoqing led the crowd to pay respects to their ancestors, and the juniors paid new year greetings to the elders. After that, the men went out to pay New Year's greetings, and the women's relatives greeted the visitors, so the younger generation could enjoy the leisurely time of the New Year.

  Duan Yunhua only felt sad.

  Last year, her mother had asked her to watch the housekeeper, patiently teaching her the skills she would use in the future.

  But now the grandmother is ignoring her, the second aunt is indifferent to her, and the third sister is neglecting her. Living in this family is getting more and more boring.

  Duan Yunhua was walking casually when he suddenly heard a conversation.

   "Hanxue, go and beg Jiangshuang to intercede with you, and return to Biao girl, has she agreed?"

  Hanxue snorted coldly: "If someone climbs a high branch, they will look down on us people."

   "That's a pity. How generous the cousin girl is. The little goldfish given by the old lady was given to the people in Wanqingju. You haven't seen how proud Wang Mama and the others are—Second girl!"

  The two little maids quickly saluted Duan Yunhua when they saw Duan Yunhua.

   "Goldfish from the old lady?" Duan Yunhua asked word by word.

  Knowing that the second girl and the cousin girl were not on good terms, the little servant girl hurriedly said: "Yes, the old lady gave the cousin girl the lucky money, and the cousin girl will reward her when she takes it back to Wanqingju..."

  Duan Yunhua was so angry that his hands shook.

  The New Year's money given to her was replaced with broken silver, but Kou Qingqing was given gold. Grandma is really partial!

   Duan Yunhua knew that he could not go to the old lady to make trouble, so he wandered around to put out the fire, and saw the fourth girl Duan Yunyan.
