The road to wealth of a peasant widow

After seeing Mrs. Zhou off, Chen Cui looked a little dazed, and so did Li Wanqing. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and saw shock and surprise on each other's faces.

"Wanqing, please help me find out what is going on with the Yongchang Earl's family. Sigh!"

Li Wanqing nodded. Even though the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were discussing the gossip about the Yongchang family so happily that day, in fact, those were all hearsay from her. The authenticity needs to be verified. She said it just as a joke and should not be taken seriously. Now that someone has come to ask for marriage to her sister-in-law, she naturally has to find out clearly!

Ever since she entered the Liu family, she has lived an extremely comfortable life. She feels that as long as she continues like this, her life will be complete. The beginning of all this is due to the helping hand that her sister-in-law extended to her that day, which she has always remembered in her heart.

Li Wanqing's words to Changfu about buying a big gift for her sister-in-law were not false; she really intended to do so.

Although she often gave her sister-in-law gifts, her life was saved by her and she got such a good marriage because of her and lived the life of her dreams. She felt that no matter how much she gave, it would not be excessive!

Li Wanqing took the order and left, but Chen Cui felt a huge headache. She hadn't shown the information of the two people to Sui Sui yet, and now another Cheng Yaojin showed up on the way. Isn't this Earl of Yongchang here to cause trouble?

She had never thought of letting Suisui marry into a powerful family, and she had always looked for sons-in-law among middle and lower-level officials, for she was afraid that Qi Da was not a good match, and if her daughter was wronged in the future, her family would not be able to help her.

Chen Cui believed that Sui Sui was not greedy for wealth and fame, otherwise she would not have said that she wanted to marry into a military general's family. After all, the status of military generals in the Zhou Dynasty was not very high, and they had no position in front of civil officials.

However, when she thought about the day when Earl Yongchang came to thank her, she felt a little uncertain.

Could it be that Suisui had some contact with the Earl of Yongchang that day and said something inappropriate, which led to this man coming to propose marriage?

She believed that Suisui was not a frivolous person, but she always went to ask to confirm it.

"What? Earl Yongchang, the man who brought bad luck to his wife, is here to ask for my hand in marriage?"

Sui Sui was also stunned. He pointed at himself and opened his mouth in surprise.

Seeing her reaction, Chen Cui was relieved at first. She was so surprised, which showed that she had nothing to do with Earl Yongchang, otherwise she wouldn't be so surprised.

"Yes, Madam Zhou was asked by him to come and ask for your hand in marriage. What do you think is going on?"

Chen Cui rubbed her brows tiredly, and simply showed her daughter the information of Young Master Zhu and Captain Qi: "Take a look at these two and see if you like either of them. If you are interested, I will find a way to take you to see the real person and meet him in person. If you are not interested, then we can find another one!"

Sui Sui finally closed his mouth, swallowed, and lowered his head to look.

Chen Cui didn't urge her and turned back to her own yard to rest.

I don't know why, but my head hurts so much. I have to go back and ask someone to massage it for me.

Because of the perfume workshop, her home is not short of all kinds of perfumes and essential oils. Although she does not use perfume on weekdays, she often uses essential oils for massage, especially at night. Massage with sandalwood essential oil helps her sleep, and the effect is very good.

By the evening, everyone in the family knew that Mrs. Zhou's visit was about Earl Yongchang proposing marriage to Sui Sui, and they all frowned.

Although the three brothers of the Liu family were not quite sure about the origin of the Yongchang Earl, they were unhappy just by hearing that he was an earl. They thought the same as Chen Cui, that they were too great to be together!

The Liu family is of grassroots origin, with no foundation at all. When looking for a husband for their sister, they didn't want to look for a powerful and wealthy family. They just wanted to find an ordinary official family with a good family tradition, preferably one with similar or even slightly worse conditions than their own family, so that they could be relied on in the future if anything happened!

The three Liu brothers showed their unhappiness on their faces, and Zhang Hongjuan became anxious on the spot.

When she met Earl Yongchang that day, she was with Suisui. But not long after that, he came to propose marriage. Would her mother-in-law think that this incident happened because of something that happened that day?

She waited until dinner was over and then hurried to confess her feelings to Chen Cui.

"Mother, when we met Earl Yongchang that day, we didn't say a word to him. It was the servants around us who were talking. Suisui didn't even look at him. Mother, believe me, Suisui really didn't do anything inappropriate that day!"

Zhang Hongjuan was so anxious that her face turned red and her neck became thick. She was afraid that her mother-in-law would misunderstand something and that she would be implicated.

"Well, I know. Don't I know what kind of person my daughter is? Although Suisui is lively on weekdays, that's only in front of her family. She always abides by the rules outside. You are also a proper person. If there was anything wrong, you would have told me earlier and would not have waited until now."

Chen Cui sighed, "I've asked your sister-in-law to find out why the Yongchang Earl came to our house to ask for marriage. These two families are really not a good match!"

Forget about saying that he is "unlucky in marrying" and that's why it's difficult for him to get married. As a noble, even if he has no real power, his family is wealthy and he is still young. As long as he wants to marry, countless ministers in the court would want to marry their daughters to him.

But why did he fall in love with the girl from the Liu family who had no background at all?

Yes, Wei Shaojing also wanted to know why he kept recalling the appearance of the girl from the Liu family in his mind since that day!

Especially her heroic posture when riding on horseback and her neat movements when dismounting, both exude infinite vitality.

And when she saw her mother, she looked cute and lovely. He felt that every move of this Miss Liu was extremely eye-catching, just like the stars in the sky, shining!

At the same time, he felt a little ashamed of himself. Others could gallop on horseback, but he couldn't even ride a horse until now. He needed guards to protect him when riding with others. Compared with Miss Liu, he was too weak!

He has been asking the guards in the mansion to teach him how to ride a horse every day recently. Now he can ride a horse and have someone lead the horse and walk slowly. I believe that in time, he will be able to walk side by side with Miss Liu!

Alas, I don’t know what the result will be if my cousin goes to the Liu family, and whether the Liu family will agree to marry Miss Liu to me.

If it weren't for some reasons, he couldn't entrust this matter to the elders of his uncle's and aunt's families, nor would he ask his cousin to go to the Liu family to act as the matchmaker. Although his cousin was eloquent, she was still young after all, and was not respected, so she didn't seem serious enough.

Wei Shaojing was holding up the stone lock in his hand to exercise his arm strength in order to make himself stronger. At the same time, he was worried about the result of his cousin's marriage proposal. He worked even harder while sweating profusely!
