Chapter 706: Asking for Marriage
Lin Zhixuan stopped this kind of family affair once, but she couldn't stop it a second time, because after all, she had a good relationship with Lu Yan, but such a marriage event still had to listen to the words of the matchmaker from her parents' orders, and Lu Yan liked it in her heart, and when she heard that Lin Zhixuan blocked it, she even deliberately avoided Lin Zhixuan.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Zhixuan and Wei Mingxu entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager, leading the ninth sister, and felt that it was not good to leave Sister Xin alone in the house, so they took it with them.
Lin Zhixuan was talking to the Empress Dowager and the other princesses, and Sister Xin saw the salute, and she even saw Wei Yanxian from a distance.
Now the children are at the age of growing up, but they haven't seen each other for a year, and they only feel that each other has grown up a lot.
Wei Yanxian also had a lot of rules, but seeing that many families came with their own children, it was very boring to stand here and listen to these old people. Thinking that it was the New Year, the Empress Dowager didn't want to restrain the children too much, so she let them all go out to play for a while, but repeatedly instructed the little eunuch to watch it.
Wei Yanxian saw Sister Xin again, Sister Xin was already very strange to Wei Yanxian, and she didn't get close to him, she only played with a group of princess lords she knew, Lin Zhixuan originally wanted to keep Sister Xin by her side, but she didn't want that little girl to be the wildest, how could she not sit still on Lin Zhixuan, Lin Zhixuan had no choice but to let her go with Sister Xin.
The little girl has been idle since she can walk, and she follows Sister Xin all day long, like a little tail. Now that Sister Xin is coaxing Sister Jiu'er to play, Wei Yanxian saw it from a distance, but nodded to Sister Xin.
Sister Xin looked at him with four eyes, originally at a loss and planning to look away, but now seeing him suddenly nodding to herself, Sister Xin was even more at a loss, and only hurriedly gave Wei Yanxian a slight curtsy salute, and was called out by the princesses to see the snowflakes and red plums.
And Wei Yanxian watched Sister Xin walk away, feeling inexplicably lonely in his heart, and he was not very familiar with those sons of the family, so he felt bored, turned around and left. But he didn't want to go out of the moon gate, and suddenly bumped into a person who came in in a hurry.
Wei Yanxian frowned, and was about to scold when he opened his mouth, but when he looked up, he was suddenly stunned.
The person in front of him was not an outsider, it turned out to be Brother Yu.
In the past, because the Empress Dowager did not allow it, Brother Yu had not entered the palace for a year, but this time for some reason, I think it was because of the New Year's 100 years in the palace.
Wei Yanxian was overjoyed all of a sudden, grabbed Brother Yu'er's arm and said happily, "Why are you here?"
Brother Yu saw that Wei Yanxian was more cordial, and hurriedly wanted to salute, but Wei Yanxian pulled him up and walked to his study, Brother Yu was also happy, and said: "I haven't entered the palace for a year, I think about the emperor very much, and I took advantage of the New Year's work to ask my aunt to lead me into the palace to ask the queen mother and the emperor to say goodbye." ”
Most of what this aunt is talking about is Wang Peizhen.
Wei Yanxian had already led Brother Yu into the study, and waved his hand so that the little eunuchs would wait outside without coming in.
Xiaomiya's daughter gave the two children tea and fruit snacks, and then retreated one after another.
Only Brother Yu and Wei Yanxian were left in the house to talk and reminisce.
In Cining Palace, Lin Zhixuan came early, early in the morning to serve the Queen Mother for breakfast, now it is getting noon, the princes and princes have also come to the Queen Mother to pay New Year's greetings first, some of them accompanied the Queen Mother to talk for a while and then went to the front to listen to the play and have fun, and most of the people who stayed were very close to the Queen Mother.
Therefore, Lin Zhixuan looked at Wei Yanting, who had been staying here for a long time, and felt very strange.
Sure enough, these women talked about the family affairs of their children, and the Empress Dowager was praising Luyan for her intelligence, and she said that she had promised a good family, which was the fourth master of the Lin family, and the Empress Dowager also asked Lin Zhixuan: "...... It turned out that I married your family. ”
Lin Zhixuan didn't defend anything, and the Empress Dowager was very happy and said, "...... The children have settled one by one, and those who marry good wives marry good wives, and those who marry good sons-in-law marry good sons-in-law, and the mourning family looks at this is the most joyful thing. ”
A room full of people smiled happily, and they all came to congratulate Li Yaoqin.
At this time, Wei Yanting suddenly spoke, stepped forward to salute the Empress Dowager, and said: "Since the ancestor is happy to see it, it is better for the aunt to make good things come in pairs, and also to fulfill the nephew." ”
These words turned out to be said to Li Yaoqin.
Li Yaoqin was a little stunned, even the princesses and princesses in the room didn't know what he was talking about.
Wei Yanting didn't blush, stepped forward to salute the empress dowager, and then said: "Erchen is also eighteen this year, but he has not taken the princess." In the past, I looked at the young age of my sons, and my father and mother only said that they would start a business first and then start a family, for fear of affecting their children's studies. Later, his father died suddenly, and his sons had to keep filial piety for three years, so naturally they didn't dare to cross the slightest distance. ”
Word by word, it is very pitiful.
Now that this child has no father and no queen mother, no one even thinks about such a major event as family affairs. It is very soft-hearted.
Wei Yanting continued: "Erchen now looks at a girl from his aunt's family, although she is not from a high background, she is virtuous and virtuous, gentle and generous, and she is the niece and daughter of her aunt, and she is also reckless in Erchen, she fell in love at first sight, and today she saw that the ancestor was happy, and she had the courage to say it, and she was not afraid of the jokes of the old ancestor, Erchen, I want to marry her as a concubine." ”
The Empress Dowager was very surprised, looked at Li Yaoqin, as if she wanted to ask in detail, Li Yaoqin naturally heard that Wei Yanting was talking about the eldest girl of the Liang family, and after the matter of Lu Yan came out, Li Yaoqin was not ignorant of Wei Yanting and the eldest girl of the Liang family.
It's just that Li Yaoqin was a little hesitant, after all, although the eldest girl of the Liang family's parents are both criminal ministers and have been sent to the frontier, but after all, this child is her sister's daughter-in-law and her own niece's daughter, so she can't help but plan for her.
And Wei Yanting is a county king, if he can really marry him, even if he is not a concubine, just a side concubine is a very good way out. That's why they didn't even do anything to stop it.
Now that Wei Yanting proposed it so openly, he wanted to marry Miss Liang as a concubine, which still surprised Li Yaoqin.
It's just that in this situation, I had to explain to the Queen Mother: "It's my sister's child, her father used to be tired of weaving in Hangzhou, and his tutor was very good, but then the family declined, and this child has been following me." is a very gentle and humble child, no better than Lu Yan. ”
The Empress Dowager sighed, as if she had vaguely known what her life experience was, but on this occasion, it was not easy to refuse directly, so she only asked: "Have you entered the palace today, and you should bring it over to the mourning family to see what it looks like." ”
