Chapter 219: The Son-in-Law of a Wealthy Family

Mrs. Li, who had been lonely for a long time, was also happy to see such a talkative old lady who was also the prefect of Dingzhou. After a while, the two of them were so good that they talked about everything. They even left old Mrs. Chen to eat in her room in the evening.

The old lady always thought that her eldest granddaughter was handsome and filial, and she wanted to find a high-profile son-in-law for her. When the old lady came to Dingzhou Mansion and heard about Chu Lingxuan, she fell in love with him and secretly planned to find an opportunity to ask someone to help pull the strings.

In Mrs. Chen's opinion, no matter how well-born Chu Lingxuan was, she would still be a continuation of her marriage. She was the prefect's "divine daughter" and her status was enough for him. What's more, if his son is really capable, he will definitely be promoted to a bigger official in a few years. The reason why Chen Yuhui was said to be her legitimate daughter was that the old lady wanted to find a way to force the Jiang family to record Hui Yatou in her name when she went back.

Mr. Chu works in Dingzhou, and his granddaughter will stay in Dingzhou after marriage. Although the princess mother-in-law is powerful, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so she can't control her even if she wants to. I will teach my granddaughter again. If she meets the princess' mother-in-law, I will find a way to serve her well. The eldest granddaughter is very lovable and has a good way of coaxing people. In this way, not only does my beloved granddaughter marry into a good family, but I also have a stronger backer. In the future, I no longer have to worry about Jiang's family because of fear of Jiang's natal family...

Old Mrs. Chen had a plan in her mind, so she sent Aunt Green and the old lady out, and smiled at Mrs. Li, "A few days ago, General Lu was marrying his daughter in the military mansion. In the Lu mansion, I took a look at Mr. Chu from a distance, oh, She is so handsome and powerful... My eldest granddaughter Hui'er looks most like his father. She is unparalleled in beauty, gentle and virtuous, and can recite poetry and paint. She will be born in the second half of this year. I have always been such a good child. I want to find a good future life for her..."

It's almost as if her granddaughter and Chu Lingxuan were made for each other.

Li was a little unhappy when she first heard her praising Chu Lingxuan, but after listening to her subsequent words, she realized that she had that meaning.

Ms. Li also knew that Chen Shiying was once a prostitute, and he was the most handsome. If his daughter resembles him enough, her beauty and talents will definitely be of the highest quality.

If it turned out that way, Mrs. Li would never dare to have the idea of ​​Chu Lingxuan's marriage. The old Marquis allowed her to be greedy for some family wealth, but she was absolutely not allowed to interfere with Chu Lingxuan's marriage. Besides, she didn't have the ability to know the noble girls who were the same as the Chu family.

But since the old man returned to Beijing from Tangyuan after the New Year, his tone has softened and he seems to be very anxious. It is said that the reason why Chu Lingxuan has not continued his marriage even at such an old age is because he cannot succeed at a high level or at a low level. Noble ladies who match his status are unwilling to marry him, and girls who want to marry him have shortcomings of one kind or another. Now Chu Lingxuan is twenty-four years old. Even if the conditions are lowered, he must be allowed to get married and have a son as soon as possible. He also said that as long as the girl herself is good, it doesn't matter if her family background is poor...

Although the direct daughter of the Chen family was of low birth, she was good-looking and talented, and Mr. Chen was the magistrate of Dingzhou Prefecture, which just met the conditions of the old Marquis. What man doesn't like beauty? Chen Shiying's daughter must be beautiful, and Chu Lingxuan will definitely take a fancy to her.

If someone's daughter marries into a marquis's mansion, Princess Rongzhao will definitely take her to the princess's mansion to torment her without any scruples. It's best to torture her until she can't give birth to a son. The princess has been married to her uncle for so many years but has not given birth to a son or a daughter. Now she is thirty-one and cannot give birth to a child at such an old age. That way, his son would have a chance...

Mrs. Li made up her mind and laughed continuously, "My eldest nephew is already twenty-four this year, but he hasn't gotten married yet. My father-in-law is very anxious and wants him to find a good girl as soon as possible. Mr. Chen, I have long listened. As I said, she is handsome and talented, and Mrs. Chen is so virtuous and courteous. Your eldest daughter will definitely be right. I will tell my father-in-law when I get home..."

Mrs. Li was very happy with her generous offer. He also hinted that if Mr. Li can handle this matter, he will be "grateful" to her. Of course, this heavy "gratitude" will make Tang syndrome come out. Mrs. Li was even more happy after hearing this. The two sent people holding hands and talking, and they were a little closer than before. It seemed that the two houses of Chu and Chen had become in-laws.

After the old lady returned home, she quickly called Tang and Chen Yuhui and told them about the matter.

The mother and daughter were crazy with joy. They had long heard that Mr. Chu was from a noble family, that he was young, promising, and unparalleledly handsome. Chen Yuhui blushed with embarrassment, twisted her handkerchief, acted coquettishly, and stamped her feet, making the old lady and Mrs. Tang laugh.

However, when the old lady asked Jiang to record Chen Yuhui in her name, Jiang refused. Of course she couldn't openly disobey her mother-in-law. She just laughed and said that her words didn't count and her husband's consent was required.

Chen Shiying happened to be on business in a subordinate county in the past few days. The old lady carefully did not tell her that she had planned a good marriage for her eldest granddaughter, for fear of being plotted by the Jiang family to snatch her away.

When Chen Shiying returned home four days later, the old lady went to tell him about the marriage with the Chu family. She also said that if the eldest granddaughter was recorded in the name of the Jiang family, Chen Yuhui would be the legitimate daughter, and she was not deceived.

After hearing this, Chen Shiying was very angry and said, "Mom, you are stupid, you are not allowed to talk nonsense about what kind of family the Chu family is. Hui'er is my concubine. Even if she is recorded in the name of the Jiang family, she cannot be a real legitimate daughter." Female. The Chu family is the residence of the Marquis of Yong'an. Chu Lingxuan is a third-rank general and the heir apparent of the Marquis of Yong'an. His father, the Marquis of Chu, is a ruthless princess and the third master of the Chu family. , he was so trusted by the emperor that he was appointed as the First-Rank Commander-in-Chief of the Central Military Governor's Office just after he came back from the border. What's more, Hui'er's talent and appearance are far inferior to Master Chu. How can Master Chu be so high up on us? How dare you pretend to be a concubine! You want to kill your son and our entire family."

The old lady didn't want to hear it, and said angrily, "Nonsense, Hui'er looks the most like you, how can he be so far behind Lord Chu..."

Hui'er looks the most like him!

Chen Shiying was helpless to see that his mother was telling lies as if they were true. Without waiting for his mother to finish, he hurried to the General's Mansion to apologize. To his surprise, Chu Lingxuan was not so angry, and said that the woman's unintentional words would not be taken to heart. Besides, it was not Chen's mother's fault alone, his second aunt Li was also at fault, and she had been severely scolded by the old marquis...

Chen Shiying was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood when he thought of these bad things, and he wished he could stay away from the old Chu family.

He was still some distance away from Tangyuan when he saw Chu Lingxuan standing at the gate of Tangyuan waiting for him.

Chu Lingxuan was handsome and majestic under the spring sun, and he was so cold that it was hard to figure out. In addition, with such a high birth, even if his family was tossed into chaos by Princess Rong Zhao, it was not something that his ordinary-looking daughter could care about.

Chen Afu's exquisite face suddenly appeared in front of Chen Shiying. This girl was beautiful and intelligent. In terms of appearance, she and Chu Lingxuan could be called a golden boy and a jade girl.

This weird idea even scared Chen Shiying himself.
