Chapter 821: Let's Go and Propose
The Queen Mother has been unable to exercise too much because of her waist twist in the past two days, and she is leaning on the couch at this time, holding a string of prayer beads in her hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hearing Changle's words, she was originally playing with her fingers with the rosary, but suddenly paused, and then fiddled with it unhurriedly.
She was a little careless, with disdain in her eyes: "The mourning family just doesn't like that woman, and I want to embarrass her when I see her." ”
Changle was really angry with the Queen Mother. Because she really didn't expect that the Queen Mother would really be so old and embarrassed a little girl.
"Grandma, then you talk to Changle, what do you like? Lin Zhaorong too, you dislike her for her low background, and you don't give her a good look every time you come, but in addition to Lin Zhaorong in this palace, there are many concubines from low backgrounds, right? Every time a show girl enters Beijing, it's not that there are no children from poor families, and I haven't seen you feel so sorry for them! Is it because Lin Zhaorong got close to Princess Ning that you treat people like this?"
Changle's attitude was a little aggressive, and in the face of such an unreasonable Queen Mother, she felt that her reason was about to be lost. Seeing her chest rise and fall slightly, her little face was flushed, staring at the Queen Mother, she didn't give herself an answer, she didn't give up.
The Queen Mother snorted lightly and twisted her head to the side: "Didn't you already know?"
Changle really wanted to say that the Queen Mother was unreasonable, but she was originally the one who raised herself, and she still couldn't say these disrespectful words.
So in the end, she could only bite her lower lip, and said to the Queen Mother with some anger: "Okay! You don't like the people who have anything to do with Princess Ning, right? Changle and Princess Ning also hit it off at first sight, and they like Princess Ning very much, so you even dislike Changle together!"
Anyway, Changle didn't stay here, turned around and left angrily, not paying attention to the Queen Mother looking at her back for a while, and then lying back on the bed and sighing: "I'm still too young." When will there be half of that woman's composure? ”
With that, she closed her eyes and began to pretend to sleep. But in his heart, he thought about why there was no movement on Xiao Cheng's side, and the efficiency of this work was a little worse.
Xiao Cheng sneezed at this moment, and he didn't know who was talking about him.
When he came back to his senses, he looked at Mrs. Xiao and said seriously: "Mother, what my son said is true, I came back this time to hope that my father would propose to the Queen Mother, and my son wanted to marry the lord of Changle as his wife." ”
After coming back yesterday, Mrs. Xiao was so happy that she pulled him to ask for warmth, and she didn't even let him interject during the whole process. And Lord Xiao was too busy yesterday to speak.
It just so happened that Mrs. Xiao and Master Xiao had come back today, and after the family had dinner, Xiao Cheng mentioned the matter.
Lord Xiao is almost fifty years old, but he is a very strong person, and his eyes are extremely sharp, and when he looks at him, he will naturally think of Xiangye.
These two people have a pivotal position in the DPRK and China. However, Lord Xiao has not been as old as Xiangye for many years, so in some places, there is still no Xiangye who can speak in front of the emperor like Xiangye.
Just now, Mrs. Xiao was still thinking that after dinner, she still had to talk to her son about marrying a wife and having children. He was born in the Xiao Mansion, and he was still the chief of the imperial guard, and his future was limitless, what kind of woman he wanted to marry couldn't marry? What was wrong with the girls he had introduced to him? But he didn't have that mind at all, and other girls couldn't wait for him all the time, and when they reached the age, they all got married.
Many of the girls who first talked to Xiao Cheng about marriage were very old. Mrs. Xiao originally had a lot of requirements for her son to marry a daughter-in-law, not for those who are poor in appearance, not for those with low status, and not for those who have a bad temper.
As a result, by now, she has really been worn out by this son to the point that she has no temper at all. She thought that if Xiao Cheng said one day that she would marry a maid as a wife, I am afraid she would agree to it.
So as soon as Xiao Cheng finished saying this, Lord Shoufu was fine, Mrs. Xiao was directly stunned, and after a long pause, she asked in disbelief: "You say...... Do you want to marry?"
Xiao Cheng sat upright, put his hands on his lap, and was very solemn: "That's right." ”
He guessed that Mrs. Xiao should be happy, but he really didn't expect that she would cry directly.
I saw that Mrs. Xiao threw herself directly into Lord Xiao's arms, and her tears were like beads with broken threads: "My God, husband, did you hear that! Our son wants to marry! Finally, he has opened his mind! This time, don't say that you just want to marry a county lord, even if it is a princess, you have to go and tell our son!"
Mrs. Xiao cried so much that Xiao Cheng was very suspicious, he is not twenty-three this year, he is actually forty-three years old and has not married a wife, right?
Lord Xiao was also very helpless, and patted Mrs. Xiao's back: "Okay, don't cry, this is a good thing, Xiao Chengdu is back for this matter, let's plan for him." ”
He looked at Xiao Cheng, and when the father and son looked at each other, they became extra serious: "If you said before that you wanted to marry a princess, I'm afraid you wouldn't find it difficult to be a father, but who doesn't know, the county lord of Changle grew up in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother probably returned to Beijing in advance this time for her family affairs." When hunting, the emperor praised Changle so well, it wasn't the queen mother's instructions? This time, we not only have to get the queen mother to agree, but also let the emperor nod. ”
Mrs. Xiao didn't cry much at this time, but she was obviously not very happy, looked at Lord Xiao, and muttered: "Isn't it just a county lord? ”
Lord Xiao is also a wise man in the court. The reason why he says "yes" means that his position is not firm. There may be times when he will say a few words for this prince, and sometimes he will help another one, which is different from Xiangye's resolute refusal not to stand in line.
The question now is, if Xiao Cheng really marries Changle, which prince does the Queen Mother support, and whose person will their Xiao family be in the future.
It's a really deliberate question.
Xiao Cheng came back yesterday as soon as his mind was hot, and now that he thinks about it, he is really a little reckless.
He understood what Lord Xiao's eyes meant, but he still said firmly: "Father, those things, Erchen has put them in the back of his mind, and Erchen only hopes that this marriage can be decided now." ”
Although Mrs. Xiao didn't understand the concerns of the father and son, she should also reconcile: "Yes, settle down first, and let them get married as soon as Changle is married!"
Lord Xiao also loves his sister-in-law very much, Wu Jieyu slapped Xiao Cheng outside the imperial study, and Lord Xiao's fold was directly handed to the imperial study the next day, so he really couldn't open his mouth to refuse Xiao Cheng's request.
And Xiao Cheng finally figured it out, and he didn't want him to continue to fight singles.
Let's just say that Xiao Cheng's colleagues, many people's children can go to the street to make soy sauce, and every time he gossips with his colleagues, he listens to his grandson!
Lord Xiao doesn't want to be compared to those old guys anymore, so it is urgent to propose marriage for Xiao Cheng!
Lord Xiao stared at Xiao Cheng and asked in a deep voice: "It's confirmed, it's her?"
Xiao Cheng nodded: "My son is confirmed." ”
"That's good! For my father, I will go to mention this matter to the emperor tomorrow, so how can I say that it is also the queen mother's person, we can't insult others, let the emperor come and give marriage!"
Xiao Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you father! Thank you mother!" But after finishing speaking, he reacted to something, and couldn't help but ask with some hesitation: "Father, what if the county lord of Changle is unwilling to marry his son?"
Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but interject on the side: "Does she dare to marry you!"
Lord Xiao couldn't help but scold her: "Don't say that our family is like the kind of official who wants to rob the people's daughters, if the county lord of Changle really doesn't want to marry, we can also persuade her to marry." ”
Xiao Cheng: "...... father and mother, are you sure that this is thinking about the meaning of Changle?"
In the end, Xiao Cheng still expressed his considerations: "From Changle's return to Beijing to the present, my son and Changle have only met a few times, and I really don't know what Changle thinks about his son......"
Mrs. Xiao covered her mouth and chuckled: "What else can you think? My son is a ...... of both civil and military talents" Seeing Lord Xiao and couldn't help but look at her with majestic eyes, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but continue to praise, and then said: "This marriage event is the door of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker have nothing to do with Changle's wishes? Besides, as long as the emperor gives you a marriage, then Changle will be your daughter-in-law, since you really want to marry someone, isn't this result very good?"
Mrs. Xiao said plainly: "Besides, this woman, as long as her husband treats her better and more considerately, even if she was unwilling before, she will gradually have no resentment, so now, is it difficult for you to ask Changle what he thinks?"
Of course, Xiao Cheng was not prepared to do such a thing, he just helplessly talked to Xiao
