Chapter 614: Don't Believe in Love at First Sight
After dinner, Gu Honglian threw the dishes and chopsticks on the table and quietly went to Gu Xiaoxue's room.
"Gu Xiaoxue, do you know who your family is going to tell you to?"
Gu Honglian revealed the information she got at the dinner table to Gu Xiaoxue.
She didn't know who the third son of the Lian family was, but she knew that when the weaving workshop opened, Miss Lian and her aunt came.
Could it be the same Lian family?
If it was the Lian family where Miss Lian was, how could they fall in love with her?
Gu Xiaoxue didn't believe that a rich young man could fall in love with her at first sight. Instead, her family must have some ulterior motive in introducing her to the Lian family.
If this is really the case, then they made a wrong idea. She is no longer someone that can be manipulated by her family at will.
Gu Xiaoxue lowered her eyes and decided to discuss it with Tong Huaqiong.
"I'm here to tell you the news. The hairpin is mine."
Gu Honglian took advantage of Gu Xiaoxue's inattention and pulled out the fallen plum hairpin on Gu Xiaoxue's head.
Gu Xiaoxue is able to make money now, and no longer cares about a hairpin, so she just gives it to him.
Anyway, she and Gu Honglian reached a tacit agreement that Gu Honglian would help her pass on information and she would give Gu Honglian benefits.
Gu Xiaoxue walked out of the house.
In order to speed up the work, weaving workshops would light lamps to spin yarn and weave cloth.
Therefore, when Gu Xiaoxue went out at night, no one in the Gu family’s old house cared.
Gu Xiaoxue did not go to the weaving workshop, but went to Tong Huaqiong's house.
Gu Honglian followed like a sticky candy. She wanted to let her sister-in-law know that she was no longer in the same group as the other people in the old house.
Gu Xiaoxue came to Tong Huaqiong's house and said directly: "Madam, the marriage that matchmaker Wang arranged for me is with the third son of the Lian family."
Lian family?
Tong Huaqiong was in a trance when she suddenly heard the name Lian family.
Gu Honglian added: "It is said that the family is engaged in the pearl business, and the younger sister is the wife of the prefect. Tsk tsk tsk, Xiaoxue, this marriage is not bad. If you marry him, you will be the third young lady of Lian."
Gu Honglian is a little jealous of Gu Xiaoxue.
It’s not that she likes the Lian family, but she has been set off by the fair-skinned and beautiful Gu Xiaoxue since she was a child, so she wants to compete with her niece.
Gu Xiaoxue said coldly: "If aunt thinks it's good, aunt will marry for me."
Gu Honglian snorted coldly and said, "Don't let your grandma hear you saying this, she will definitely be happy. But I'm not happy, I like..."
The word "Fan Tong" almost came out of her mouth, and Gu Honglian glanced at her sister-in-law.
Tong Huaqiong frowned.
But it was not because Gu Honglian liked Fan Tong, but because of the Lian family.
His family is in the pearl business, and his younger sister is the wife of the prefect, so that is Lian Hengruo's maiden family.
Tong Huaqiong asked Gu Honglian: "Did you hear clearly, it was the Third Young Master Lian?"
Gu Honglian nodded and said, "I heard it right. It was said that it was the third son of Lian who just passed the imperial examination this year."
Last year at the Lian family, Tong Huaqiong did not see the third son of the Lian family.
I don't know the character of Mr. Lian San.
If the Third Young Master Lian is really a good person, then he would be a good match for a girl of this era.
Marry a man and you will have clothes to wear and food to eat. If you marry into the Lian family, you will definitely have enough food to eat.
Moreover, the third young master passed the imperial examination this year and has a good future ahead of him.
As for his character, you will find out by asking Aunt Tang.
However, Tong Huaqiong always felt something was weird.
Although she knew that marriage should not be judged by social status, considering the situation of the Lian family, they would never come to Qinghewan to look for a country girl.
Unless the Third Young Master Lian had met Gu Xiaoxue in advance.
Seeing her eldest sister-in-law frown, Gu Honglian said without waiting for the question: "Second brother suspected that the third young master had taken a fancy to Xiaoxue in Pingchuan last year, so he asked someone to propose marriage."
Tong Huaqiong thought that this was possible, but although the plot of a domineering CEO falling for a pretty girl could be believed, one had to be cautious.
Gu Xiaoxue said: "I have never seen any Third Master Lian."
Tong Huaqiong calmed down and asked Gu Xiaoxue: "If Mr. Lian San really values you, and you have good character and good looks, would you be willing?"
Gu Xiaoxue shook her head without hesitation and said, "I don't want to. Auntie, Qi Da is not your match. He is not the only one in the Lian family. He also has parents. For a young man from a wealthy family who is both outstanding in character and well-educated, would his parents be willing to let him marry a country girl? If he marries, his parents-in-law will not like him, and living a life of luxury will be boring."
Tong Huaqiong smiled and said to Gu Xiaoxue, "You are a person who sees things very clearly."
Gu Xiaoxue was unwilling to marry Liu Qingsong, who risked his life for her, under such a difficult situation. How could she be moved by a rich young man's love at first sight?
Gu Honglian didn't understand Gu Xiaoxue's refusal and said, "She's the eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. You don't want such a good marriage? What kind of person do you want to marry? Do you want to be a queen in the palace? For example, Xu Zaohua married into a wealthy family. Even if she became a widow, she lived a more comfortable life than most people unless she committed suicide."
Xu Zaohua?
It was as if a thunder exploded in Tong Huaqiong's mind, and she seemed to have found something wrong.
The Lian family has three sons. The eldest son is married, the second son is orphaned and has dementia, and the third son is normal. Could it be that the couple is actually marrying off the second son in the name of marrying off the third son?
When Tong Huaqiong thought of this, she told Gu Xiaoxue her speculation.
Gu Xiaoxue's eyes flashed coldly.
Matchmaker Wang deserves to die for her deliberate fraud. Even if her parents knew the truth, they would watch her jump into the fire pit because of the Lian family's background.
They all want to plot against her.
It seems that being crazy isn't enough.
Tong Huaqiong said to Gu Xiaoxue, "I'll find out for you if it's the third son of the Lian family who's looking for marriage. You have to resist your parents. Although it's said that parents should make the decision on their children's marriage, you can't force them to do something. I'm afraid they've secretly accepted the betrothal gift from the Lian family and secretly arranged a marriage for you. You have to be careful."
Gu Honglian shuddered with fear. She was afraid that Gu Xiaoxue would not agree to this marriage and that her brother and sister-in-law would secretly replace her.
No!
She belongs to Fan Tong.
Gu Xiaoxue nodded and said, "I won't let them succeed."
After Gu Xiaoxue and Gu Honglian left, Tong Huaqiong leaned over the table and wrote a letter to Aunt Tang.
Gu Xiaoxue is her employee now, and she must care about Gu Xiaoxue's marriage.
Xiaolong poked his head out and asked coldly, "Grandma, do you know why Matchmaker Wang targeted Aunt Xiaoxue?"
Tong Huaqiong: "You know?"
Although Xiaolong is a small man of few words, there is nothing in the village that he doesn't know.
The child who came out of the palace was extremely cunning and he got rid of Chunwang without any effort.
Xiaolong said maturely, "Xu Xinghua introduced Xiao Xuegu to matchmaker Wang and said that the Gu family could sell not only their sons but also their daughters. I heard it."
Tong Huaqiong narrowed her eyes. Does that mean Xu Xinghua wanted to push Gu Xiaoxue into the fire pit?
It is said that Xu Xinghua had mental problems. She would scratch the faces of the girls in the village if she disagreed with them. She almost scratched Gu Xiaocao's face in the past.
Gu Xiaoxue is outstandingly beautiful, and it is hard for Xu Xinghua not to be jealous of her.
I just didn't expect Xu Xinghua to be so vicious.
......
The next morning, Tong Huaqiong asked Qin Qingyou to go to the city to deliver a letter to Aunt Tang.
In the evening, Aunt Tang brought a letter from Qin Qingyou.
Mrs. Lian was indeed arranging a marriage for her son. Just as Tong Huaqiong guessed, the Lian family really did something like arranging a marriage for the third son of the Lian family but in fact they were trying to marry off the second son of the Lian family.
