Zhu Hongxiu rushed to the main courtyard and heard that the old lady was ready to rest. She didn't dare to disturb her and immediately went to find Madam Zhu.
"Mother..." Zhu Hongxiu sat down beside the couch, pushing Madam Zhu, who was suffering from a severe headache, and said, "Brother said he wanted to go to the temple to practice asceticism. Do you think he would become depressed and become a monk?"
Madam Zhu was shocked and sat up suddenly: "When did this happen?"
"Just now! When my eldest brother learned that the Tang family had rejected the marriage proposal, he was extremely sad and said he wanted to go to a temple to practice asceticism. He was depressed when he was first disfigured, but he didn't say he wanted to go to a temple to practice asceticism. This blow is even more serious than the disfigurement."
"I said that face was restless, and it's true. Before she even married into the mansion, she could easily provoke my foolish son into doing stupid things. If she marries into the family in the future, what will happen? This silly boy, he never goes out all year round and never sees female guests. He has a simple mind. I wonder how cunning those women are."
"Mother, it's rare for my elder brother to find someone he likes, so let's just do what he wants!" Zhu Hongxiu said, "I'll send her another invitation and ask her to come to the mansion and persuade my elder brother not to go to the temple."
"This is the only way." Madam Zhu said, "I haven't seen him yet, so I'll take this opportunity to see him."
Qin Huiyin looked at the post in her hand and said to Zhilan beside her, "Have the Zhu family's servants left?"
"I'm still waiting outside, waiting for your reply, miss!" Zhilan said.
"Then go and tell them that it's my father's death anniversary and my mother and I are going to pray for him. We've already made arrangements in advance. We'll leave early tomorrow morning and won't be back for half a month."
"Will the eldest daughter of the Zhu family be angry?" Su Jin asked from the side.
"She can be angry as she pleases. What's most important is that I am happy." Qin Huiyin said, "I just rejected their marriage proposal today, and now they send me an invitation to have tea at their house. Anyone with a discerning eye knows what this means. If I go, the Zhu family will think I am trying to climb up the social ladder. Of course I have to refuse. This is also to show my attitude and let them know that we have no intention of climbing up the social ladder."
The daughter of the Minister of Personnel, most people from small families would be eager to make friends with her. She had met her at Gong Qianyue's banquet, but it was only due to etiquette that they were socializing normally, not that she had to flatter her.
Zhilan went out to reply to the letter.
Qin Huiyin handed the letter in her hand to Su Jin again: "Give this letter to Miss Wan'er across the street. She will know what's going on after reading it."
Today, she checked on the progress of the military factory, and it's officially operational. Four families now own shares in the factory: she has four, and the Rong, Li, and Xia families each have two. She's leaving the factory's operations to Li Congxiao, with Xia Ruwan offering to assist when she's free.
Her energy is limited, and now it is all focused on the construction of the two streets of the Food City. You know, these two streets have caused such a big commotion, the government is keeping an eye on them all day, and many people have already set their sights on this piece of fat meat.
"Rejected?" Zhu Hongxiu was particularly unhappy when she heard the servant's reply. "Go and find out which temple they are going to."
The servant has just left.
"Miss, Miss Gong is here."
"Come in." Zhu Hongxiu's eyes gleamed. "Yes, how could I have forgotten her? She was the one who brought this person here and introduced him to us. They must have a better relationship."
As soon as Gong Qianyue entered the room, she noticed Zhu Hongxiu's face was full of worry, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, sister?"
Zhu Hongxiu waved at her, asked her to sit down, took her hand and said, "My dear sister, I'm really worried to death. Please help me think of a solution."
"Sister, let me hear what you have to say."
"My silly brother has fallen for the Miss Qin you introduced to me," Zhu Hongxiu said with a look of sorrow. "Grandmother went to see my brother and discovered he had painted a portrait of Miss Qin, so she asked me about it. I told her the truth about her identity, and my family sent a matchmaker to propose marriage."
"This is not a good thing! Brother Zhu is such a good person, and he's the eldest son of the Zhu family. Such a good marriage is something that others would beg for. Sister Qin is dignified, intelligent, open-minded and sensible, and she is also a very good person. Isn't this a match made in heaven?"
"The Tang family refused, saying they wanted to stay for two more years."
"That's understandable. I've often heard people mention that Master Tang's stepsister is the most beloved and beloved of all. The whole family cherishes her dearly! Furthermore, she's known as the Goddess of Wealth. Back in the county, everyone said that those who were close to her were all blessed with great fortune and had endless amounts of money. Of course, the Tang family couldn't bear to give away their Goddess of Wealth!"
There was a glint in Zhu Hongxiu's eyes.
"I wish my brother could recover his appearance. He is a man of great talent, noble character, and distinguished status. The only problem is that the disaster that happened that year damaged his appearance."
"Marry a virtuous wife, and marry a husband who doesn't look at appearance. Have you ever seen anyone ask about the other person's appearance when discussing marriage? It's not a problem at all." Gong Qianyue said, "I think it's because everyone doesn't understand each other well enough. As long as Brother Zhu and Sister Qin spend more time together, there's still room for improvement. Didn't I just say that the Tang family dotes on her? As long as she nods, they won't say anything."
"You're right. I should let my brother spend more time with her. In the meantime, I have to continue to spend a lot of money to find herbs and miracle doctors to restore my brother's appearance as much as possible." Zhu Hongxiu said, "Even if it's not for the purpose of arranging a marriage, it's for his future. My brother is so talented. If his face hadn't been injured, he would have taken the imperial examination long ago."
"Miss..." The maid came in, "The eldest master is packing his things and said he is going to the temple."
"Tell him right away that I'm sick. No, if I say that, he'll definitely ask me to see a doctor. You said his cat is missing." Zhu Hongxiu said, "Send someone to hide the cat immediately so he can't find it. Wait until it's very late and take it out. Then, find out which temple the Tang family is going to. When my brother goes to the temple tomorrow, take him there."
The Tang family was going to the temple to burn incense and to observe vegetarianism and chanting for half a month. Coincidentally, her brother also wanted to go to the temple, so wasn't this a chance for them to get along?
A strange look flashed in Gong Qianyue's eyes.
If she could marry off Miss Qin, she would feel much more at ease. She didn't know it before, and only later did she find out that Tang Yichen and she were not biological siblings.
Although the two of them get along like siblings, they are not related by blood. She is so beautiful, so I would rather marry her off as soon as possible.
"Brother Zhu has no experience with women. Even if we lead him there, can he handle it alone? Should we go along and see for ourselves?"
