Chapter 19 The son of the family should be home

In the afternoon of this day, as soon as Mrs. Zhuang woke up from a nap, Luyin came to report that Princess Qingping was coming.

Mrs. Zhuang hurriedly took it out, and saw that the princess's carriage had stopped at the gate of Songmei Hall, and Princess Qingping, who was wearing a vermilion mud and gold collared coat, was being helped down from the carriage by the maidservant.

Mrs. Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said with a smile: "The princess is here, it is really disrespectful, I hope the princess will atone for her sins." ”

Princess Qingping said with a smile: "Hurry up and take good tea and fruits to honor this princess." At that time, this princess was thinking about whether to redeem you or not."

Mrs. Zhuang smiled from ear to ear: "How can there be those good teas and fruits in our mansion like the princess's mansion?" There are some bitter tea and rotten fruits, and the princess doesn't like it, so she asks the house to use it. ”

Princess Qingping pointed at Mrs. Zhuang with her hand wearing red gold ruby armor and said with a smile: "Before I ate a bite of you, you started to cry poor!" Yun Ji, you are getting more and more promising. ”

Mrs. Zhuang glared at her, took her hand, and walked into the house together, and said with a smile as Mrs. Zhuang walked: "How can I compare to the princess in this ability?" ”

The two of them talked and laughed and entered the room and sat down in their chairs.

Princess Qingping took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I have to drink this tea even if I cry poor." Do you still want to save Xie Media's tea? ”

When Mrs. Zhuang heard this, she knew that she was a matchmaker. Wei Wan and Dongfang Yi are married, this big medium should be the saint today, but you can't let the saint act as a person who communicates between the two families, right? As a result, the two families who gave the marriage often found another matchmaker to go back and forth, and the two discussed the exchange of marriage letters and other things.

The matchmaker invited by the Dingguo Mansion was Princess Qingping, which made Mrs. Zhuang very satisfied.

Mrs. Zhuang said with a smile: "Even if it is a marriage given by the saint, this Nacai, ask the name, and the gift of Najib will be waived." As for the dowry and dowry, I will ask Mrs. Jihou to be a matchmaker and talk to you. I don't care about the amount of the bride price, presumably the Dongfang family can't afford to serve Wan Niang. It's just the same, can Wan Niang marry and live in another house? ”

Princess Qingping was slightly stunned. Isn't it necessary to divide the house and live separately? In order to fulfill filial piety, the children must be filial in front of the hall, and it is unfilial to separate the family. This is not married, why did Mrs. Zhuang propose to let her daughter and son-in-law split up and live separately? Wouldn't it be that his daughter had a reputation for being unfilial?

Mrs. Zhuang explained: "The prince of the Guogongfu was originally a person of King An, but our son-in-law is a person of the saint today, so this political opinion is not harmonious; As for the two, the Duchess has always been very loyal to Princess An, and she is also from King An's side, and she is also at odds with the second son. The brother and mother and son are not compatible, and as soon as Wan Niang passes through the door, she is afraid that she will be splinted. ”

The princess glared at Mrs. Zhuang and said, "You can fool me with this." Don't you know that in the past, the king was only the trend of profit and the desire of men? Now that King An has been defeated and the new emperor has ascended the throne, of course, King An has been left behind, who will offend people for him? The second prince is also a great hero who supported the new emperor to ascend the throne, and the Guogong Mansion now only relies on him, how dare he offend him? How can you embarrass your mother? Tell me honestly, what is the reason why you want them to be alone? ”

Mrs. Zhuang was a little embarrassed when she saw that the princess had told her a lie, and said with a smile: "Duchess Li Shi didn't like her from the first time I saw Wan Niang. Our family's lady, the saints all say that she is delicate and intelligent, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance, what's wrong? It's clearly the eyes of the old man who doesn't know people! ”

The princess said: "The fate between people is difficult to say...... After getting along for a long time and getting to know each other, it will be good naturally. ”

At that moment, the two discussed some dowry and dowry knots, and it was not until the evening that Princess Qingping got up to say goodbye. Mrs. Zhuang left for dinner: "Look at the day's late, let's go after dinner." Today we have fresh crabs in our house. Princess Qingping said with a smile: "Your thank you banquet is indispensable." Let's forget about it for now. The Dingguo Mansion is still waiting for a reply. ”

Mrs. Zhuang saw that she couldn't keep it, so she had to send the princess out, and sent it straight out of the gate, then turned back, sat in the house for a while, and called Mother Zhang: "You go and talk to Wan Niang...... It's time for her to be prepared. ”

Zhang's mother said yes and went to the back garden.

When she arrived at Zuihongxuan, Taohong was standing under the porch picking bird cages and parrot shelves, and when she saw Zhang's mother, she was about to open her mouth to call someone. Zhang's mother made a silent gesture, walked forward quickly, and asked in a low voice, "What is Wan Niang doing?" ”

Peach carried the parrot shelf and said in a low voice: "Our lady is making a female red, is there something wrong with my mother?" ”

Zhang's mother didn't answer, quietly walked to the window, looked in through the glass window in the middle of the window lattice, and saw Weihuan holding a profane dress, was lowering her head to collect the last edge, and stopped after doing a few stitches, looking at a certain place of distraction, her eyes were shining, her mouth was slightly upturned, and her smile couldn't be stopped, as if she didn't seem to have blood flowing in her veins, but joy.

I heard a crisp female voice laugh again: "The lady has only known and laughed these days!" Not to mention, the lady's joy touched the whole garden, and the flowers and birds in the garden were happy. It was Pan Zi's voice.

Zhang's mother couldn't hold it anymore and laughed out loud.

Only then did the people in the house realize that someone was coming outside. Pan Zi walked out quickly, and when she saw Zhang's mother, she smiled and said, "When did my mother come?" How to stand under the porch? He complained again: "Why don't you invite your mother in?" In this autumn, how can it be good for the wind to blow my mother? ”

Zhang's mother smiled: "Don't blame her, I didn't let her report." Saying that, he walked into the house with a smile, greeted Wei Huan, first took the profane clothes made by Wei Wan and looked at them, and saw that the profane clothes were wide, and they were by no means women's clothes, and they knew that they were made for Dongfang Yi, and they didn't say it clearly, but only praised Wei Huan's craftsmanship: "Tsk! This needle angle! This embroidery! Wan Niang's hands are getting more and more skillful. After praising it, Mrs. Zhuang's words were transmitted: "Mrs. said that the lady is now an engaged person, so don't run outside if you have nothing to do." First, it is advisable for unmarried couples to see each other less, and secondly, it is time for the lady to rush the dowry. The dress and the outer coat had a needlework to do it. But how can the boudoir daughter's little clothes be handled by those people? Or the lady did it herself. ”

Weiwan agreed with a smile, thanked Zhang's mother again, and left: "Mom has a cup of tea before leaving."

Zhang smiled: "Madame is still waiting for me to reply." Then he took his leave.

Pan Zi smiled: "For no reason, why did Madam let Mother Zhang pass these words?" ”

As she was talking, Cui Xi came in with a curtain and said with a smile: "It's not for nothing...... Listening to Luyin, Princess Qingping has just left...... The princess is here to discuss the wedding date. After thinking about it, he said: "The maple leaves next to the corner door in the back garden are so red, do you want to take a look?" ”

Pan Zi listened and said with a smile: "It's so late, what kind of red leaves are you looking at?" Suddenly, Cui Xi winked at her, and suddenly understood, so she didn't make a sound, just looked at Wei Wan and smiled.

Wei Wan saw that her heart moved, put away her dirty clothes, took the finished purse and put it in her arms, and instructed Pan Zi: "I'll go to the back garden for a walk." ”

Pan Zi had to accompany her.

Wei Wan said: "From your homeland, are you still afraid that I will lose it?" I was trying to be quiet, and no one was allowed to follow me - take my pale silver-red cloak, and I draped it on. ”

It was already evening, and the autumn wind was getting cooler than ever, and the cloak was blocking the cool air, not to mention that the material of the cloak was originally given to her by Dongfang Yi.
