Just when An Ran was thinking about how to complete the task, she heard Mrs. Xu say: "Your grandmother is feeling better. Let's go over and see your grandmother."

An Ran nodded and said, "Okay, mother."

An Ran followed Mrs. Xu to Mrs. Xu’s yard.

Mrs. Xu is nearly sixty years old, which is still the age of retirement in modern times, but in ancient times, sixty years old was considered a long life.

Mrs. Xu saw that the old lady who had been in bed for a long time got up today and was basking in the sun outside. She couldn't help but stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mom, you look much better."

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "My health has gotten better recently."

Mrs. Xu's face looked okay, but An Ran knew that the old lady would pass away next year.

And before that, she will get married.

Therefore, if she really couldn't refuse the marriage, she would try her best to delay the marriage until after the old lady passed away. When the old lady passed away, she would use the excuse of observing filial piety for the old lady for three years.

She married the prince of Yong'an later that year.

——Then there is no need to worry about being infected by Prince Yong'an, because Prince Yong'an will contract the disease and die within three years.

Even if you have arranged a marriage, remarried, or barely got married, as long as you can live to old age safely, the wish of the person who made the wish will be fulfilled.

Of course, given the Xu family's obsession with clinging to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, maybe even if the Yong'an Marquis prince dies, they still want to marry him so that they can get this in-law and pave the way for the Xu family. In this case, as long as

Without being infected by the disease from Yong'an Hou Shizi, it would have been okay to be a widower in the past. Anyway, she just needed to live in peace until old age. This kind of big family, unlike a small family, would not want to raise a widow.

Selling or killing people, after all, people still want face, so even if the Yong'an Hou Crown Prince dies, the Xu family will still marry her to the Yong'an Hou Mansion, An Ran is not worried, the key is that she cannot marry

Just give it to Prince Yong'an who has an infectious disease.

Mrs. Xu turned to look at her eldest granddaughter with bright eyes and white teeth, and said with a smile: "An Ran is getting more and more beautiful as she grows older."

This made her feel gratified, thinking that such a beautiful granddaughter would definitely marry into a good family in the future. With her support, the Xu family might be able to regain its former glory.

Thinking of the Xu family's rise from humble beginnings to the top and then slipping from the top over the past few decades, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time she was a little unwilling.

Don't blame her for being unwilling.

When she first married into the Xu family, it was the time when the Xu family was at its peak. At that time, her father-in-law was already a member of the third rank, and then he went up all the way to the second rank, and then the first rank. It was so prosperous at that time, but it was a pity that her husband was not able to support her.

He only passed the examination to be a scholar. In the end, although my father-in-law tried his best, he only promoted his husband to the fifth rank position, and he could no longer be promoted. Not to mention anything else, in his whole life, he only had a fifth rank title.

Mrs. Xu felt unwilling to give in. When she got married that day, how many little sisters were envious of her. But decades later, there are several people whose family conditions are not as good as hers. Just because they know how to marry, they are now in the second rank.

The third grade imperial edict is much more glorious than myself.

And her son has no talent for reading, and he didn't even pass the exam. He only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long. And because of his powerlessness, his son doesn't even have an official position. He only has a virtual title of seventh rank to support him.

To save face, people should not laugh at the fact that Mr. Xu Ge’s grandson turned out to be white.

Now, the hopes of the Man family are pinned on Xu Jiang and An Ran. Who knows that although the family has several descendants, the descendants of the Man family are not as promising as Xu Jiang and An Ran are beautiful?

An Ran got goosebumps from the look in Mrs. Xu's eyes as if she were looking at goods, and secretly thought that this Old Mrs. Xu, like Mrs. Xu, was probably the kind of person who sold her daughter for glory.

Fortunately, this old lady will pass away next year, so she doesn't have to worry about how she will trick her in the future.

When Mrs. Xu heard her mother-in-law praising her daughter, she couldn't help but feel proud, and said with a smile: "Our appearance, An Ran, would be among the best in the whole capital. I don't know how many boys like us, An Ran."

In fact, Mrs. Xu herself and her husband are not particularly outstanding in appearance, but they can't help but think that their daughter is taking advantage of the two's strengths. It's normal to be beautiful.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu nodded repeatedly, and then told Mrs. Xu, "Choose a good one for An Ran. An Ran is still young, so don't let her be deceived by those unscrupulous and despicable people."

Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "My daughter-in-law knows how to do it. She has some ideas now. If there is good news in a few days, I will come and tell the old lady."

On the surface, these two people seemed to want to choose someone with good character for Xu Anran. In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that the good one refers to someone with a good family background. They were afraid that Xu Anran was young and would not be deceived by those poor boys.

Well, something happened. If I had to marry low, I would lose both my life and my wealth.

As for what Mrs. Xu said a few days ago, she probably planned to visit the Yong'an Hou Mansion for two days and go to the Yong'an Hou Mansion to trick Mrs. Yong'an Hou to see if Mrs. Yong'an Hou was ready to propose marriage to her family. If Mrs. Yong'an Hou didn't make any move, she would

Let's test it with someone else. After all, under her pick and choose, Xu Anran is already fifteen years old and it's not appropriate to wait any longer.

Although the Yong'an Marquis Mansion is not one of the best in Beijing, it is okay if there is a noble concubine in the palace.

After hearing what Mrs. Xu said, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

Time passed quickly, and in less than two days it was time to go to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Xu personally took her housekeeper daughter-in-law, who was the best at dressing up, to give Xu Anran a beautiful make-up, and then asked Xu Anran to put on the clothes and jewelry she picked that day.

"Sure enough, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold. Good boy, when you dress up like this, it's like an immortal descended from heaven." Mrs. Xu looked at her stunning daughter and couldn't help but admire that after giving birth to such a beautiful daughter, even she

I have an indescribable pride in myself.

When An Ran heard Mrs. Xu praising herself like this, she couldn't help but blush shyly and lowered her head - it wasn't a fake blush, but a real one. It was really embarrassing to be praised like this every day, even though she was originally tall.

It is indeed good, but there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. It would be a bit shameless to exaggerate.

After boasting about her daughter's beauty, Mrs. Xu took An Ran into the carriage.

Although An Ran was not the only girl of the right age in the family, none of them was prettier than An Ran. Secondly, Mrs. Xu did not want other girls to compete with her daughter, so Mrs. Xu only took An Ran to the Hou Mansion.

The other girls are either from other houses or concubines, and they are not Mrs. Xu’s biological daughters, so she doesn’t want to take them with her at all?

Not long after, An Ran arrived at the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Because there is a favored concubine in the Yong'an Hou Mansion, there are many people who come to curry favor with her. When the spring flower banquet comes into bloom, there are so many people who come, so busy that the servants of the Hou Mansion are so busy.

The Xu family is now in decline, and the old man who heads the family is only a fifth-rank official. In the capital, a place where noble families are everywhere, a fifth-rank official is not worth mentioning at all. So Mrs. Xu brought An Ran in and was only greeted by the steward's daughter-in-law.
