After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Ever since Mrs. Xu helped Yuan Huiniang and others manage the embroidery workshop, she had become confident and acted vigorously and resolutely.

Yan Qingqing saw her coming in and smiled: "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm not leaving right away. Why are you thinking of giving me a farewell?"

After hearing this, Ms. Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Second sister-in-law, it's a small thing to say goodbye to you.

Don’t forget what you promised me back then. "

Xu's words really confused Yan Qingqing.

What did she promise to Mrs. Xu? Why doesn’t she remember it?

When Mrs. Xu saw Yan Qingqing's confused face, she immediately became anxious. She pulled Yan Qingqing's sleeve and said, "Second sister-in-law, you can't forget about our daughter-in-law, Xiang Bao, as soon as your daughter-in-law gets married. Xiang Bao treats you very well." This aunt cares more about me than my own mother.

Back then you promised to propose marriage to Xiang Bao on our behalf. "

Yan Qingqing said oh, so this is what happened, she thought it was some big deal.

She looked at Mr. Xu seriously, and then asked, "Do you have a goal?"

Mrs. Xu smiled and nodded and said, "She is the daughter of Ding's mother-in-law.

Second sister-in-law, you don’t know, I met you at your family’s banquet last time.

She is really as beautiful as a fairy, and that girl is also polite.

I took a closer look at that figure, and it was definitely a child-bearing one. "

Yan Qingqing asked again: "Then the Ding family agreed? Why have I never heard Mr. Ding and his wife mention this matter?"

Mrs. Xu laughed dryly and replied: "No, isn't the second sister-in-law coming to Beijing soon? I think like Xiang An, we should finalize the marriage first and wait two years before getting married."

Yan Qingqing was a little speechless. She hadn't even finished the horoscope yet, but Mrs. Xu was just looking at the person's figure to see if they were good enough for fertility. It's so disrespectful to the Ding family to say it out loud.

Yan Qingqing looked at Mrs. Xu and said seriously: "Brothers and sisters, although we are sisters-in-law, I must be the first to say ugly things.

If the two children and both parents are consensual. I am willing to make this face come to Bao to ask for his hand in marriage.

But if they don't want to, I can't bully them, let alone the fact that the Ding family still has some friendship with me. "

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she quickly said: "Who does my second sister-in-law think I am?

How could I let my second sister-in-law do that kind of bullying thing?

I asked the matchmaker to find out about the Ding family.

They neither agreed nor disagreed.

I secretly guessed that they were waiting for the second sister-in-law to come.

I want my second sister-in-law to test their opinions again. If they are interested, we will come to the door. If they are not willing, we will not be blessed. "

Yan Qingqing's expression softened a lot after hearing this.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Well, there's nothing much to do these days anyway, I'll take some time to go to Ding's house.

But I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not. "

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she nodded happily and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, I know it all depends on fate."

Yan Qingqing asked again: "What about Xiang Bao? What is his opinion?"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "This kid used to be tough-talking.

But since I met the girl from the Ding family at the last banquet, I have secretly glanced at her several times.

He blushed when I asked him, probably because he liked it and was embarrassed to say it out loud. "

Yan Qingqing felt relieved, thinking that if this was the case, the marriage would be a sure thing.

But Yan Qingqing didn't expect that it was too early to speculate on everything, because this matter really didn't go well.

Early the next morning, Yan Qingqing dressed up specially and accompanied Xu to the Ding family.

Yuan Huiniang felt itchy and followed her.

When the concierge of the Ding family learned that Mrs. Mingzhao had come to visit, he naturally did not dare to neglect and hurriedly reported back to Mr. Ding and Mrs. Ding.

When the two heard that Yan Qingqing was coming, they came to greet him personally.

When you see Yan Qingqing, you have to bow, but Yan Qingqing naturally won't let you. He smiled and said: "I will leave for the capital soon.

I thought that if we had a good relationship, we might not be able to say goodbye to you two by then, so I took advantage of this opportunity to come over in person.

I'm sorry to bother you, but please don't blame me. "

Mrs. Ding smiled and replied, "Mrs. Mingzhao's words are really embarrassing for both of us. It would be great if you could come to our Ding Mansion in person."

This is the second time for Yan Qingqing from the Ding family. When she first came, she came to wish Mrs. Ding a birthday for a few taels of silver.

At that time, Ding Mansion held a grand banquet, and Yan Qingqing worked hard to make a birthday cake in order to get the reward.

Today can be regarded as revisiting the old place, but because of the change in status, Ding Mansion looks completely different again.

Member Ding and Mrs. Ding invited Yan Qingqing to sit down in the main hall.

Yan Qingqing did not mince words, looked at Mr. Ding and his wife and said, "We are all old acquaintances, so I can speak frankly.

This is my third younger brother and sister, you two should know each other.

She heard that your girl Xiu'er was extremely smart and lovely, and she wanted to marry Xiang Bao. "

Member Ding looked embarrassed when he heard this, while Mrs. Ding opened her mouth and said nothing.

Yan Qingqing saw this and said: "Don't worry, although we are determined to marry, we will never force others to do anything.

If you don’t mean this, just pretend I didn’t mention it today.

I will never put you two in trouble. "

Although the girl from the Ding family is good, in Yan Qingqing's view, Li Xiangbao is also a young man with an unlimited future.

It’s just that the Li family started a little later.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ding glared at Mr. Ding fiercely, and then said: "Mrs. Mingzhao's words are too outrageous.

I have also met that child Xiang Bao. He is very good in appearance and temperament. To be honest, I quite like him.

A few days ago, Mrs. Li San asked a matchmaker to come to her house. I didn't refuse because I just thought the Li family would be a good place to go.

But Xiuer is also involved in a marriage, which I only found out about some time ago. "

Mrs. Ding's words shocked Yan Qingqing and the others. It turned out that the girl from the Ding family had already made a promise to someone else. But how could a mother-in-law like Mrs. Ding not know this?

Ding Yuanwai smiled bitterly and said: "This marriage was decided when the old lady was still alive.

But at that time, the two companies only made verbal promises, and I didn't take them seriously. I thought the old lady was joking.

But who would have thought that that family suddenly came to the door some time ago and said that they were both very young and hoped to get married as soon as possible. "

Mrs. Xu cried out in her heart that it was a pity, and Yan Qingqing also felt quite regretful.

But since Miss Ding has a marriage contract, they can't force it.

Yan Qingqing could only say: "It seems that the two children are not destined to be together. Remember to tell me when Xiu'er's child gets married so that I can help her."

As soon as Yan Qingqing said these words, Mrs. Ding couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She looked at Mr. Ding and said, "Master, I don't care. Even if Xiuer never gets married, I will definitely not agree to this marriage that the old lady has decided." I will agree, you can find a way to withdraw. "

Yan Qingqing and Xu looked at each other, a little confused.
