Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Feng Qi was very shocked, "Dad, whose matchmaker do you want to find for Xi'er?"

Ouyang Shangfeng laughed, "Your aunt's eldest son, Xue Wenqi, is a handsome boy, good at both civil and military affairs, and upright. He is currently the chief judge of the Dali Temple, a fifth-rank official.

I think he is worthy of Xier, so when your mother-in-law brought him up, I also thought he was a good match. It depends on whether your mother likes him. By the way, let them meet him when they have time to see if Xier likes him.

Their family is just like ours, with a simple backyard. Your uncle has a concubine, who was your aunt's maidservant during her dowry, but she never had any children.

It was because your uncle blocked the knife and injured her uterus that your uncle raised your aunt for the sake of her future life. He has a very good relationship with your aunt.

Your aunt raised both of her sons, so you don't have to worry about anything. Wenqi is definitely not the kind of person who changes his mind every day."

Feng Qi nodded, "Yes, but it depends on Xi'er's opinion. If she agrees, then that's good. If the two of them are not destined to be together, then parents shouldn't be angry."

"Haha, I know you guys are more open-minded, don't worry, you won't be angry."

At the same time, Lan Qiyan was talking to Feng Xi.

"What? My brother's mother-in-law wants to be a matchmaker for me. How did you know that, aunt?"

"Don't worry about how I know this. I'm just asking if you're willing."

"Which company is it from?"

"Your sister-in-law's aunt's."

"That Xue Wenqi?"

"Yes, Dali Zheng, from the fifth rank."

"I do not want to."

Lan Qiyan stood up from the couch and asked, "Why?"

"Aunt, I've seen him."

"When?"

"I saw him at the last Lantern Festival. There was a girl with him."

"Is it your sweetheart?"

"Almost. Anyway, we behaved intimately. Aunt, now Kyoto knows about our relationship. They must want to establish a relationship through us. I don't want to affect you, so please do me a favor."

"Do you want me to postpone this marriage for you or arrange a marriage for you directly?"

"Aunt, I don't want to get married. Look at my mother. She has been giving birth for so many years. To put it bluntly, my father is gone now, otherwise she would have given birth to more children.

She has been to the gates of hell so many times, and now she can finally have some peace and quiet. Look at you, aunt. So what if she gets married? What if she marries the wrong person?

You are capable of escaping. If you don't, you will be trapped in the backyard for the rest of your life. Besides, there are not many good men in Kyoto. My brother can be considered one.

So I don’t want to get married. Aunt, please find a reason to help me, so that they can give up this idea and stop clinging to me. "

Lan Qiyan raised his eyebrows, "So what do you want?"

"You said I made you angry, so you punished me to pray for you and practice with my hair untied."

Lan Qiyan rolled his eyes at her. There was already a monk with long hair in Dayong, and if there was another one here, they might as well all become monks.

"Aunt, please say something."

"Sister, why bother? You will ruin my image."

"Yes, second brother is right. Sister, you are doing harm to aunt."

"Can't you just refuse directly?" Fengchuan really couldn't understand. Can't he just refuse directly?

"If we refuse directly, we will offend others. Now our cousin's foundation is unstable. If we offend others again, they will target him in the court."

"then what should we do?"

"Or I can destroy my own image."

"No, if you destroy your own image, then we will all lose face. You will drag your whole family into this."

"Hey, Feng Yang, just tell me what I should do."

Feng Yang shrugged, "I don't know either, Feng Yao, what do you think?"

Feng Yao thought for a moment, "I think we should..."

Before Feng Qiangwei finished chatting with Rouniang, someone came from the palace and said that Feng Xi had fainted in the palace.

Rouniang was about to faint. How could she faint after entering the palace just fine?

She got into the sedan in a hurry and didn't even have time to say goodbye to Feng Qiangwei.

Feng Qiangwei stood at the door, looking at the sedan chair thoughtfully as it went away.

"Madam, do you still want to find a matchmaker for your cousin?" asked the maid beside her.

"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's see what's going on with Feng Xi. Why did she faint? Did the Queen Mother make things difficult for her? That's impossible. The Queen Mother has always loved her the most."

"Madam, I heard that the Queen Mother loves her sister Feng Jiao the most, and the young lady was raised by the Queen Mother."

"Let's go back home and see what's going on."

"Yes, I will go and inform the young lady and the young master."

"No, they won't go back. My sister-in-law has something to do. If she is not here, how will Feng Qi look at her?"

"It's my fault."

"Forget it, I won't go back either. It's not appropriate."

Rou Niang got off the sedan chair only when she arrived at Ci'an Palace. Then she jogged all the way. When she arrived breathlessly, she saw Feng Qi eating lotus pastry.

She raised her hand and hit him, "You little bitch, you let people spread rumors. You almost scared me to death, don't you know?"

"Oh, mother, I have no other choice. Please tell me about the situation at home."

"what's the situation?"

Feng Xi was anxious, "Aunt, please come out quickly, my mother doesn't know what's going on."

Lan Qiyan just went to the back to change his clothes when he heard Feng Xi's shouting.

She sighed, "Jiaojiao, go tell your mother."

Feng Jiao agreed sweetly, "Don't worry, auntie, I promise to complete the task."

Under Feng Jiao's supervision, Rouniang and Feng Xi rarely quarreled but instead had a good chat for a while.

Rou Niang finally realized, "No wonder she said so many things in a roundabout way. It turns out that she was acting as a matchmaker for you. She wants to make the relationship closer?"

"Mom, you still haven't figured out how many turns she made."

"You know that the way those noble ladies talk is different from that of us common people. Why do I say that she keeps praising the young master in front of me?"

"So I won't let them get their wish. No one can take advantage of my aunt through me."

"That's for sure. We can't make things difficult for your aunt."

"Whatever you mean by close relatives, that's just her wishful thinking."

"Just because she let your eldest brother marry into her family, I'm not satisfied. Even the first child doesn't have the surname Feng. I don't want to have too much contact with them."

"What does mother think?"

"Everything is decided by your aunt. I am not picky. I married your father by luck."

"My aunt told me to make my own decision, so I can make it myself."

Rou Niang looked at her suspiciously, "What do you want?"

"I don't want to get married."

"What? You don't want to get married? What do you want to do if you don't get married?"

“The world is so big, I want to see it all.”

Rou Niang looked around and said, "Where's your aunt? I don't believe she would let you do this. Jiao Jiao, where's your aunt?"

"Aunt is changing her clothes. She should go out of the palace to play now."

Rouniang's face was filled with black lines. Her younger sister was still so playful even after becoming the Queen Mother.
