I fought back after reselling my engagement

Zhen Zhen said softly, "I'm sixteen now, it's hard for me to go out, but you're young, and there are only three sisters at home, so you can go with her."

"Mother can't do anything to her, and father won't mess with her because she has a good marriage. He asked me to beg her to take me with her. I can't say that."

Zhen Zhu was envious for a while, the granddaughter of Zhou Daxueshi was Zhou Yiqing, a talented and famous family, and the Zhou family was a well-known noble family with a high reputation among the nobles. Zhou Yiqing and Princess Fanghua were good friends who grew up together, inseparable and had a deep affection for each other.

Zhen Zhen said, "You are such a fool. Mother is my stepmother and it's not my place to manage her affairs, but can't grandmother manage them? Let mother write a letter to grandmother. As long as grandmother hears about such a grand flower-viewing party, she will definitely come back from the country farm in advance. If you try to please grandmother, she will make arrangements for you."

Zhen Zhu thought this was a good idea. In this family, grandmother was the one who most wanted the family to prosper.

Zhen Su did not receive the post until the afternoon of May 13, and saw that several days had passed.

Aunt Meng said, "How can you attend the flower viewing party without some decent spring clothes? Pick a piece of fabric and give it to the embroidery workshop outside to rush the work. It will be made tomorrow."

Zhen Su agreed. When she was in the Su family, her grandmother took care of her clothes and jewelry. After her grandmother passed away, her aunt took care of everything. She never worried about these things. Two years ago, her grandfather took her uncle's family to take up his post. Her aunt taught her how to manage the farm and the store, fearing that she would be looked down upon.

Half an hour later, the embroiderer from the embroidery workshop came to measure the size. She directly picked out two pieces of fabric and chose a suitable new cut.

The embroiderer asked with a smile, "Is there going to be a wedding in the mansion?"

Aunt Meng replied: "Why do you ask this?"

"When I came over, I saw the girls and boys moving flower pots. They had just planted a new batch of roses in the back garden."

Zhen Su's heart sank. The one who liked roses the most in the Zhen family was the old lady. She said that the flower was called Yueyuehong, which meant prosperity. When her third uncle got married, she rushed back to the countryside. She stayed there for eleven years. She gave birth to six children, both legitimate and illegitimate, and was reluctant to let go.

In her previous life, the old lady never returned home until she got married. Suddenly she bought a batch of roses and planted them, which must mean that the old lady was going to return home. The old lady loved her third uncle to the bone. She treated the eldest and second sons well, but the third son was a complete playboy. She arranged a marriage for him and married him to a girl from a merchant family.

Master Zhen San had a bad reputation. Families who loved their daughters looked down on him. Families who didn't love their daughters were happy, but the Zhen family looked down on him. So they took advantage of the situation and married Mrs. Zhen San, who had a rich dowry. Not only did her dowry include several farms, but she also had dozens of shops in the county town outside Beijing and in Beijing. She was the richest among the three daughters-in-law.

After the embroiderer took the measurements and left, Zhen Su asked Chunyan to send a little maid to the back garden to take a look.

Not long after, the little girl came back and reported, "Second Miss, the mansion has just bought a batch of red and purple roses. We have planted a few clumps in the back garden, and the old lady's yard has also been planted with roses."

Aunt Meng asked, "Is the old lady coming?"

Zhen Su said, "She must be coming. The Madam has carefully decorated the back garden to please the old lady. People who don't know would think there will be a wedding in the mansion."

"The old lady is coming to the capital, where is the third master's family?"

"Third Uncle might be hoping that the old lady will come to the capital soon. As long as she is not here, with Third Uncle's means, it won't take long for her to control Third Uncle. Just by controlling his spending, he will be submissive."

The old lady was fighting with her youngest daughter-in-law and gave the maidservant beside her to her youngest son as a concubine. A few years ago, there was a quarrel and the third wife and husband were almost divorced. The third aunt-in-law was also cruel enough and took the money and children back to her parents' home.

The old lady thought she could make it, but once the daughter-in-law left, she had no money left. Not only was she exhausted after three months of managing the family, but the daughter-in-law even wanted to divorce, saying that she had a generous dowry and that she would have no worries for the rest of her life if she divorced and did not marry. The third uncle was so scared that he immediately went to her parents' home and coaxed her to take her back.

Since then, the old lady was slapped in the face by her young daughter-in-law and dared not to act like a troublemaker anymore. She was not able to control people when it came to money and her back was not straight. Even her youngest son had to please her young daughter-in-law to have money to spend, so she turned a blind eye and let it go.

Five years ago, the youngest daughter-in-law said that the mansion did not want to keep idle people, and she sent the concubine who was old and had no children to marry. The third master was so angry that he stamped his feet. She said directly: "A concubine is five taels of silver a month, and ten taels for raising children. Are you going to pay for this? If you pay, I am too lazy to take care of her for you. She only spends money and can't even lay an egg. How can she make money if she is not sent away?"

The old lady wanted to keep the concubines, but the youngest daughter-in-law said to send away the old ones and buy some young ones. It turned out that the young ones were young, but each one was as strong as a country girl, and was too ugly to look at. The third master shouted, "I don't want such concubines." The third wife smiled and replied, "You didn't want them, but I prepared three for you!"

After this incident, the Third Master was completely subdued by the Third Mistress.

Zhen Su thought about it and took out the two pieces of cloth sent by Princess Fanghua. He picked out the apricot yellow color that Third Cousin liked and said, "Send it to Third Cousin."

Among the three cousins, the third cousin is more compatible with her. She is not as serious as the eldest cousin, nor as aloof as the second cousin. The third cousin is more like a real person, with emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

Zhen Su said, "I'm afraid I can't hide the fact that I got the fabric. If I don't give it away today, they will instigate the old lady to ask me to take it out later. Instead of that, I might as well give it away on my own initiative. The other piece is pink, and Fourth Sister should like it."

"Will the fourth young lady come?" asked Aunt Meng.

"The old lady loves the people from the third house, and she treats the eldest daughter of the third uncle as a treasure. The fourth girl has been raised by the third wife and has high standards. She can tell whether it is a good thing or not at a glance."

She is the eldest daughter of my third uncle, but the old lady wants her to marry into a wealthy family.

I'm afraid that the three daughters of the first wife combined are not as important as the fourth daughter.

In the previous life, the old lady tried every means to marry the fourth daughter into a wealthy family, and came up with the idea of ​​adopting her as the legitimate daughter of the first wife. Yu disagreed, and the old lady said that the first and second wives were officials, and the third wife was a commoner, and for the sake of the girl, adoption was just a title.

The old lady failed to get married in the first house, and she was disappointed with Yu. She often said that Yu was unfilial and unworthy of being the eldest daughter-in-law. She also laughed at her for being promoted from a good concubine to the first wife and her superficiality. Yu shed tears for this matter.

The old lady adopted the fourth girl into the second house as her legitimate daughter. When she was almost eighteen years old, she was not suitable for marriage, so she found a man who had just passed the imperial examination to marry her. If it were not for the intervention of her second uncle Zhen Yao, the fourth girl would have almost ruined her life.

From this we can see how much the old lady loved the fourth girl. She would rather let her marry late than marry her blindly and ruin her life.

Zhen Su said, "Send a piece of cloth to the third young lady of the Su family, and buy two taels of tea for the second young lady of the Su family, and tell her that this is the tribute tea before the Qingming Festival this year, and I just got it, and ask her to taste it."

The second cousin was aloof and didn't like vulgar things, but she liked good tea, rare books, calligraphy and paintings. She wrote a letter a few days ago and guessed that the second cousin Su wouldn't come, but the third cousin Su would definitely come because of the sentence "Don't regret it if you don't come". With the second cousin Su's personality, the Leda Marquis Mansion was really not suitable for her.
