Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

Among the male guests, Nie Chengping's eldest son, ten-year-old Nie Lifu, stunned everyone.

What does it mean to be exquisitely carved?

If she wasn't wearing men's clothes, she would definitely be a beautiful young lady with a delicate figure and stunning beauty.

Mr. Qiu San didn't even blink. He had more contact with the Nie family and had been to the Nie family's farm, but he had never seen Nie's son.

No wonder he wasn't allowed out to see people.

There is also a little son who didn’t come out today. It must be very surprising.

Nie Lifu followed behind his father, his face stern, and he didn't smile when he saluted. No one thought he was impolite, because if he smiled casually at everyone he met, it would make others think about it.

Prince Weixing was thinking, "Oh, if he were my son-in-law, would my grandson look like this? He'd be so handsome."

People from the Wang family also came, including the Empress Dowager's second uncle and his family. Although they all came from Guanzhong, they were also surprised because they had never seen Nie Chengping's son.

Many of the female relatives thought of going to Wenshan. Others did not dare to provoke the Nie family, but Wenshan did. Moreover, the Nie family lived next door to her. If she came back and saw Xiao, with his nature of doing whatever he wanted, there would be a lot of trouble to watch.

At this banquet, Wang Jingye brought out Lijiang wine. All men like wine, so Wang Jingye didn't dare to provide unlimited wine, for fear that the guests would drink too much and make a fool of themselves.

In this way, several people got drunk.

Prince Weixing held Nie Chengping in his arms and insisted on arranging a marriage between his children and his daughters, saying that he also wanted to have such a handsome grandson.

Wang Jingye and Nie Cheng'an pulled desperately, for they were afraid that Nie Chengping, with a sullen face, would kick Prince Weixing in public.

Fortunately, Nie Lifu only showed up at the beginning and did not appear later, otherwise Prince Weixing would have taken him home.

No one expected that two days later, the Ji family would invite the Nie family.

After Wang Jingye went to the palace, he returned and told his wife, "Let's discuss this with Chengping. If the Ji family proposes to marry their children off, it could be to Lifuti or the Chen family in southern Fujian. Explain the stakes to Chengping. Only with this kind of aristocratic family can his children be saved."

Mrs. Wang was surprised and asked, "Why would the Ji family propose a marriage to Lifu? Isn't it said that the Ji family only marries into families of high status?"

Wang Jingye said, "The deceased old man of the Ji family knew Chengping's father-in-law, perhaps for this honor."

Mrs. Wang believed it and hurried to Nie's house with her husband.

Nie Chengping hadn't recovered from the shadow of the banquet that day. After listening to his brother-in-law's words with a sullen face, he nodded and said, "Before I came, my father-in-law told me that he knew the head of the Ji family. I asked around, and found out that the head of the Ji family had passed away, so I didn't come."

Mrs. Wang asked, "If someone proposed marriage, would you agree? Your brother-in-law said yes."

Nie Chengping said, "If it's a girl from the Chen family, then it's fine. If it's a girl from the Ji family, then I'll refuse. The Ji family has too many rules."

Wang Jingye pretended to be joking and said, "I'm only marrying a daughter-in-law, not a daughter. The daughter-in-law I marry into must follow the rules of the Nie family. Why do you care if there are too many rules in the family?"

After hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Wang became worried again. "How will Shulan's marriage be arranged? Maybe someone has already proposed. If she marries someone with too many rules, not only her mother, but even I wouldn't want her to marry. And if she marries someone from a small family, I'd be even less willing to do so."

Wang Jingye said, "I have my eye on a family and I'm thinking of discussing it with you guys in a couple of days."

Mrs. Wang asked, "Which family is it?"

"General Xue's mansion, he has four legitimate sons, the youngest son is still unmarried and is fifteen years old."

Mrs. Wang said without a second thought, "The Xue family is not an option. Hasn't my junior sister suffered enough in the Xue family?"

"She married General Xue's younger brother, and this time it's General Xue's son. The general's wife is not Madam Xue."

Nie Chengping looked at his brother-in-law and asked, "Is this what the Empress Dowager wants?"

Seeing that his brother-in-law did not deny it, he also understood that the Empress Dowager wanted to win over General Xue.

Although he was unhappy, he also analyzed his daughter's appearance. Who could she marry into to preserve her beauty?

The imperial court valued General Xue, and General Xue's eldest son had been following his father in Liaodong, obviously wanting him to follow in his father's footsteps.

The Xue family will not fall within two or three generations. There are not so many rules in the inner houses of military families, so it is indeed safer for a daughter to marry into their family.

He nodded and said, "Let me meet General Xue's son first."

When Mrs. Wang saw her brother nod, she asked her husband what had happened when they got home. After listening to her husband's explanation, she also felt that marrying into the Xue family was not a bad idea.

As for the Ji family inviting the Nie family to visit, outsiders thought it was because the Nie family bought the Ji family's house.

When everyone heard that the son of the Nie family was engaged to Ji Chen's niece, they were all shocked and confused.

They were even more surprised to hear that the eldest daughter of the Nie family was engaged to the fourth son of General Xue.

Although the Nie family is the Empress Dowager's maiden family and her cousin's family, they are just a family of merchants. The in-laws of this son and daughter are very different from the Nie family's store.

Mrs. Xue was not only surprised, but also felt puzzled.

She also attended the Nie family's banquet that day, and after returning, she discussed the matter with her daughter-in-law for a long time. When her daughter-in-law told her that she had taken a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Nie family and wanted to marry her to her youngest son, Madam Xue said, "You are dreaming! Is the Qing Kingdom worthy of her? Maybe she even wants to send her to the palace."

General Xue had four legitimate sons, whose names were followed by "protect the family and defend the country" respectively. The youngest son was named Xue Qingguo.

Mrs. Liao had no choice but to tell her mother-in-law frankly: "This is the general's intention."

Madam Xue exclaimed, "He told you this in the letter, how come I didn't know?"

After asking, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's always like this. You make all the decisions on your own without even consulting me, your mother. Isn't he my grandson?"

Madam Liao pretended to be sad and said, "I originally wanted Qingguo to marry my niece, but Qingguo gets a headache when he talks about studying. They say Mr. Nie is very knowledgeable. If he becomes my son-in-law, Qingguo will definitely hide away and not go home."

Mrs. Xue was not willing to have her grandson marry someone from her daughter-in-law's family. Besides, it would be good to have a father-in-law who was well-educated. Her grandson had been in poor health since childhood and was not good at martial arts, but it would be fine if he was good at studying.

She quickly told her daughter-in-law, "I think this marriage is a good one. The Nie family's daughter is beautiful, and Qingguo will definitely agree. My granddaughter-in-law's father is a good student, so she will be well educated, and Qingguo won't have a headache studying. The eldest brother is really thoughtful. We women just listen to men and manage the household well."

Mrs. Liao said politely, "Yes."

Mrs. Xue thought of Wang Huilan, who had remarried to her daughter-in-law's family, and asked, "How is your sister-in-law? Is she pregnant?"

Mrs. Liao couldn't hide it anymore and said, "She's pregnant. She's been pregnant for several months now."

Mrs. Xue immediately frowned, thinking of her own son. If Wang Huilan could give birth to a son or daughter, her son would also have a descendant.

Wang Huilan did not give birth to a child for the Xue family. If she got pregnant after getting married, it only meant that her son was not good enough.

She waved her hand and asked her daughter-in-law to leave.

Then I thought, how can I adopt a child for my son?

I had thought about passing the throne to my grandson, but my eldest son disagreed.
