If it was in the past, Xu would not have cared about such idle matters, but she had heard from Yue’er that such a girl could easily leave a knot in her heart, and with that situation, it would be difficult for Huang Yu to talk about others.
Jin was naturally willing, “Then I’ll be grateful to Miss.”
The atmosphere inside the house was somewhat depressing, Huang Gao and his wife looked at Huang Yu, not knowing how to persuade her, and regretting that they had been careless and had not noticed that their granddaughter had such thoughts.
Song Wan Yue saw Huang Yu clenching her lips and not saying anything, knowing that she had made up her mind and that even persuasion would be useless, she said, “You’ve had a tiring journey, so it’s just as well that the family has a house in the county town, so I’ll have someone take you there first and give you a good rest.
Mr. and Mrs. Huang Gao took in their words and thanked them.
Song Wan Yue led the three of them out and went to the door of this side of the house to call out to Song Lin and Xu, who came out at the sound of their voices, followed by Jin, who took the opportunity to look at Huang Yu a few more times.
Xu gave her daughter a quiet wink, “Yue’er, Mother wants to go buy some embroidery thread later, you accompany Mother.”
Song Wan Yue knew that Xu had something to say to her, so Song Lin sent Huang Cao and the three of them over.
When they had left, Xu let Song Wan Yue in and called Boss Jin in, saying with a smile, “Mother really likes that Huang Yu girl, so she wanted to make a match for her.
He nodded along, “I think that girl is good, I wonder if my grandson is so lucky?”
Song Wan Yue was a bit overwhelmed. She looked at her mother and then at Master Jin. It was the first time they had seen Huang Yu today, and they had found an in-law for her.
“Is it not okay?”
Seeing Song Wangyue only staring at her and Master Jin without speaking, Xu spoke up and asked.
Song Wan Yue wanted to say that it was very inappropriate, although women in this era were married blindly, but not in her case, at least the man and woman had to get in touch with each other for some time and get to know each other before they could talk about marriage.
“It’s not that it’s inappropriate, it’s that Miss Huang Yu doesn’t have the desire to get married right now.”
Xu was not surprised at all, “She has left a knot in her heart, hasn’t she?”
“I suppose so.”
“It was only because I thought she would leave a knot in her heart that I thought of helping her to find a match. She is definitely unwilling to go back, and it is not practical for her to stay here, and it would be difficult to find a suitable match in the capital.
“Mother is right, but Miss Huang Yu has just made it clear that she doesn’t want to get married in the future, so we can’t say anything else.”
“How can a girl not get married? Now she has her family to protect her, but when she is old, who will protect her?”
When Xu’s words left his mouth, he asked, “What has happened to that girl?”
He trusted the lady, but it sounded like something serious had happened to her, so he had to ask for clarification.
Xu looked at Song Wangyue.
Song Wan Yue didn’t hide anything, she told him about Huang Yu being taken away and her fiancé’s family not only withdrawing from the marriage, but also taking the opportunity to frame her.
After listening to the story, Mr. Jin had a few more good feelings for Huang Yu. Most girls with a strong temperament are capable of doing their job, so what’s the point of withdrawing from a marriage?
“I’ll send a letter to the capital right away and ask my grandson to come over.
Song Wan Yue couldn’t help but laugh and cry. She was just about to say that she would wait, but Xu already agreed, “Okay, go write a letter and tell your grandson to come over soon.”
Mr. Jin answered, got up and bowed, then retreated.
“Mother ……”
Song Wan Yue wanted to say something, Xu got up and sat beside her, looking at her daughter’s somewhat long and delicate face, thinking of the possibility that she might not talk about marriage in the future for Gu Yi, her heart ached.
“You can’t stop marrying just because something irrevocable has happened. In the case of Miss Huang Yu, she needs a push, a good push, so that she can be free of knots and marry a husband of her choice, so that she can live a life of love and affection and grow old together, which will also help her family. Otherwise, Mr. and Mrs. Huang will always be thinking about this matter and will not be able to work peacefully.”
Song Wan Yue thought that Xu was thinking of herself, if it wasn’t for the mistake, Xu would be in love with Shen Yan now, and in harmony with her father, but there was always something missing.
“Okay, listen to mother, I’ll talk to Miss Huang Yu when we get back later.”
Hearing her promise, Xu was relieved, with Huang Yu as an example, when Yue’er grew up in a few years, it would be easier to persuade her to talk about marriage.
“It’s better for me to say it for Mother. She has already said those words just now, if you go to persuade her again, there is the meaning of holding on to a favour, I take it for granted that I don’t know, go and say it, she will accept it better in her heart.”
“Listen to Mother.”
Xu was indeed going to buy some embroidery thread, she was going to Jiangnan in a couple of months, and she wanted to make some clothes for Song Lin, herself and Yue’er, with flowers embroidered on them.
The shopkeeper at the embroidery workshop had not seen her for a long time, and at first glance she could not believe her eyes when she appeared in the workshop.
“Madam Song, how come you have the time to visit my little shop, and Miss Song is here too, my little shop is resplendent today.”
As she spoke, she came out from behind the counter and tried to let people into the room dedicated to receiving customers.
Xu had often come to sell embroidery work in the past, and the shopkeeper had treated her well, giving her a fair price.
“Sister Liu.”
The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand, “You mustn’t shout like that, I can’t afford it.”
In the past, Xu was just an ordinary woman from the countryside, and she could call her Sister Liu without any burden, but now, not to mention that she was the eldest aunt of the Minister of Household Affairs, she could not even look up to her own status, let alone following Song Wan Yue.
Seeing that she was somewhat in awe of herself, Xu smiled and said, “I’ve come to buy some embroidery thread.”
The shopkeeper hurriedly asked his staff to bring out the best embroidery threads in the shop.
Xu picked out some, and when it came time to pay, the shopkeeper said, “We’ve been friends before, so I’ll give you these threads.”
“That’s not good enough, one size fits all, I don’t want it even if you don’t want the money.”
Xu put the threads down, but the shopkeeper picked them up and put them in her hand, “Fine, fine, I’ll take the money.”
The shopkeeper said the amount of money, Xu knew the price of embroidery threads and knew that the money in her hand could not be this much, so she was about to put it down again, when the shopkeeper pulled her back, “I, I have something to ask you, I was going to come to you in a few days, but you are here today.”
