Chapter 15: The Lady of the House
"It is really an honor and a great honor for your son to take a fancy to our daughter. The commander came to our house, and the small house was really full of splendor. ”
Commander Jin Wuwei silently listened to Murong Xiong's sycophants, and originally wanted to save some face for his master in Murong Mansion.
But Murong Xiong was really noisy, and he didn't stop talking for a long time.
And Commander Jin Wuwei really couldn't interject, so he put the lid of the teacup in his hand down.
Murong Xiong heard the sound and came back from his own world, looking ashamed.
"Ahem, this time I was ordered to come to ask for the concubine of the palace for the prince, I was going to come in person from the king, but the summons in the palace was really inseparable, so I ordered the general to act on my behalf, as for which son is not qualified to know as you. ”
What?The concubine of the house?Murong Li?
"Smack-" There was a sound in the flower hall.
As soon as the sword-wielding guards led by the gold-clothed guard heard this, they immediately drew their swords and rushed straight to the back flower hall.
I thought that there were thieves eavesdropping, but I didn't want to catch Aunt Wu in Fuzhong.
At this time, Aunt Wu also showed the attitude of being the head of the house, and saluted to the commander of the golden guard in a regular manner.
When the body is blessed, there are thousands of manners.
Turning his head, he looked at Murong Xiong with silky eyes.
"The old man's concubine body, just now in the flower hall to serve the flowers and plants, did not expect the old man to suddenly meet guests in the front hall, a dilemma for a while, the concubine body is not intended to eavesdrop. ”
"Hehe, this is Aunt Wu of the Xiaguan step-room, who is in charge of the affairs of the family. ”
Murong Xiong hurriedly acted as a peacemaker.
I was afraid that after Aunt Wu explained, Commander Jin Wuwei would be angry and implicate herself.
However, the Commander of the Golden Guards only smiled and smiled.
"Since she is the lady of the house, it doesn't hurt to hear it, the future intention of the head of the family has been understood. The marriage ceremony will be delivered to the house in a few days. At that time, the prince and the prince will come with gifts in person, and the intention has been transmitted, and they will return to the palace first. ”
The couple flatteringly sent the Jinyi Guard out of the mansion.
I watched the commander of Jin Wuwei and the guards ride away on horseback, and only then did they return to the study together until they couldn't see clearly.
"Does the lord want to discuss with the concubine, the matter of the concubine marrying the prince and leaving the prince?"
Murong Xiong pondered for a moment and said.
"Commander Jin Wuwei has not said that there is a son in the king's family, but he can say that he can move the king himself and the four-grade golden guard, I am afraid that there is only the son of the family in Beijing. ”
Saying that, Murong Xiong clenched his fist to the left, and his eyes glanced upward.
Aunt Wu was horrified.
"But how can the son of that family look down on the daughter of the richest man in the state?"
"That's what I'm wondering about, forget it, let's not talk about it for now. The mysterious son said that he wanted to marry the daughter of the family, but the daughter of the family, if you really count it, is only Murong Li, the wild girl. This girl, usually you and I are negligent in discipline, and at home they insult their father and blackmail their mother-in-law. I can't understand all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female workers don't understand anything about embroidery. Such a straw bag, how can she afford to marry a mysterious son, I am afraid that if I marry her, it doesn't matter if she dies, it is a big sin to behead all over the house. ”
Murong Xiong was so anxious that he said a lot.
"Then the old man promoted me to be his wife, isn't our Scarlet Er a concubine? Let Scarlet Er marry, Scarlet Er is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even the Confucianism in Beijing says that it is good. Scarlet is so graceful and gentle, she will definitely not make a big mess like Murong Li. ”
Aunt Wu's words fell, and the two glanced at each other, with a smile in their eyes.
Outside the study window, a blue figure fluttered away.
Not a trace and not a single sound was left.
"Miss, Yefei begs to see you. ”
Murong Tang, who was reading a book, didn't raise his eyes.
"What's the matter, you were asked to monitor the movements of the lady, and the results were so soon?"
Ye Fei quietly entered the house, leaned his head over and told Murong Tang all the information he had heard.
Murong Tang said secretly in his heart.
Oh, royal son, it seems that I can marry better in this life.
"Go and help me keep an eye on Madame and Master for any information, and then report to me. ”
Murong Tang took out an indigo piece of silver from the makeup box.
"Things are done well, this is a reward for you, do a good job, and there will be a more generous reward for the layman in the future, you go down first." ”
After the night flew away, Murong Tang continued to pick up the book.
But at this time, not a word in the book entered Murong Tang's mind.
