108 Proposals

Su Dingwen had a bottom in his heart, and when he returned to the Ding'an Hou Mansion, he felt that he was already sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, just waiting to see the further movements of the Seven Princes, and he could guess how heavy Yingluo was in the hearts of the Seven Princes.

If the Seven Princes really value Yingluo, they will naturally ask for the concubine Niangniang, so that Yingluo will be sent to the Seven Princes, with the favor of the Seven Princes, the chances of coming out in the future will naturally be higher than other women.

Su Dingwen waited for another two days, but he couldn't wait for any move from Ye Yuxuan, but instead the wife of Lord Mei in the Sixth Section of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came to Ding'an Hou Mansion to meet the old lady.

In these six subjects, Master Mei is just a seventh-grade Beijing official, but in Dafeng, the seventh-grade Beijing official next to him is an ant, but in these six subjects, he never dares to underestimate it.

The power of the six departments is very large, the attendants, the regulations, the inspection, the six departments of the matter, the weekdays to assist the emperor to deal with the chapter, how many Zaifu have done these six departments to the matter.

On weekdays, there is no contact between the Mei Mansion and the Ding'an Hou Mansion, but now the Zhao family suddenly came to the door, which surprised the Ma family. If this was an ordinary lady who came to walk around, Ma's illness would be blocked, but the first time Zhao came, Ma didn't dare to stop it with illness at will.

When even let the maid wait and put on the big clothes of the guests, let Mama Duan go to welcome the Zhao family in.

After a while, Zhao went to the flower hall of Fulu Yuan, Zhao looked no more than thirty, with a disc face, big eyes, and a deep dimple on his right cheek when he smiled, which made him look particularly amiable.

After she stepped forward to greet Ma's, she sat down, smiled and said a few words of greeting, inquired about Ma's illness, and sent the medicinal materials she brought as a prayer. Only then did he clarify his intentions and said: "I have heard that the girls in the house have been stuffed one by one, why don't you see them today?" Don't hide it from the old lady, I met the old lady this time just for the girl in the house. ”

The girls of the Ding'an Hou Mansion have become the laughing stock of the capital, and the Ma family didn't think that someone would come to the door to propose marriage at this time, so after listening to Zhao's words, he didn't think about the marriage, and said in his heart that this Zhao family didn't come to see the jokes of the Ding'an Hou Mansion.

Even if the emperor is valued by the emperor in the matter of the six branches, it is too arrogant to act like this, he can't afford to provoke the Xinwang Mansion in Ding'an, it doesn't mean that a seven-grade person can step on his head in the matter and slap his face!

Ma's face sank, Zhao looked at Ma like this, and secretly said in his heart that this Ding'an Hou Mansion was really defeated, such a confused old woman in charge, don't blame Ding'an Hou Mansion for making a big joke in the capital.

But she smiled on her face, eating tea with a tea cup, and turned her eyes to look at the maids who were waiting.

Ma Shi muttered when he saw her like this, and it didn't look like he was coming to see a joke. After hesitating, Ma still waved his hand to order Mama Duan to stay, and the other maids retreated to the porch to wait.

The maids retreated, and the Zhao family put down the teacup with a smile and said, "Don't hide it from the old lady, I came here at the request of the old lady of the Chi family to ask for the marriage of the five girls in the house for my nephew, the eldest young master of the Chi family." ”

Ma Shi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that someone would come to propose to Su Yingluo at this time.

Could it be that the third child has already found a family affair for the fifth girl? But before she forced the third child, the third child was perfunctory, but she didn't say that someone would come to propose marriage in the past two days.

The Ding'an Hou Mansion and the Mei Mansion have no contact with each other on weekdays, and the Ma family doesn't know which Chi family the Zhao family is talking about, and who the Chi eldest son is.

Zhao saw that Ma's eyes were full of confusion, and his heart became more and more disdainful. Which of the ladies in charge of the house in Beijing is not a human spirit, or a family that does not come and go, and there should be a spectrum in their hearts, and it is good to have three points of familiarity when they meet. Even the lady in charge really can't remember these relationships, and the grandmothers and maids who are waiting around them should also know it, and remind them in advance if they encounter it.

Although their lord is only a seven-grade official, who is not optimistic about the future of the mansion in the matter, that is, in front of the prime minister's wife, the prime minister's wife also gives three points of face, this old lady of the Ding'an Hou Mansion actually doesn't know what to do, and it is no wonder that several masters of the Ding'an Hou Mansion are not as good as one another, and the Hou Mansion is not as good as a year.

Although the three-room master is said to be a point of interest, there is such a family dragging him down, and there will be no support in the future, and the one who Chi Jingyi wants to marry is a concubine. Only the Zhao family also knew that his nephew was a far-sighted and successful person, and he didn't know what the concubine in the third room of the Su Mansion was like, so he made this nephew who was above the top look in his eyes, and took great pains to persuade the old lady of the Chi family to let the old lady come to the trust to pay for his family affairs in the Hou Mansion.

Thinking about it, in order to convince the old lady, her nephew is afraid that he has put a lot of effort and effort.

Zhao thought about it and said bluntly: "The old lady Xu doesn't know, my mother's family is from the Yao Xing Zhao family, and the elder sister of the concubine is married to the uncle of the Chi family, and my nephew is the eldest young master of the Chi family, born in the year of Bingyin, because this child has been busy with the business of the Chi family over the years, so the matter of marrying has been delayed, and now I came to ask him to marry the five girls in the house." The old lady is still satisfied with it, give me a word, and I can arrange for serious official media to come and propose. ”

As soon as Zhao said that the former official was still in the Chi family, Ma Shi reacted. It is said that today's Chi family is rich in the world, not only the imperial businessmen, because of the relationship between the old lady of the Chi family, although the descendants of the Chi family have not entered the dynasty now, but the wives married by the children and grandchildren are all serious official daughters, and this Yao Xing Zhao family is a prominent family with generations of hairpins. And in recent years, the mansions in the capital have held banquets and the like, and the Chi family has also appeared from time to time, and they have not withdrawn from the social circle of the officials and wives in the capital because of the old lady Chi's Zhishi.

The eldest young master of the Chi family begged to marry a concubine in the third room, which was really a five-girl climb, not to mention, the girls in the Ding'an Hou Mansion now have a bad reputation.

Ma Shi was stunned, his face immediately showed joy, and he was very enthusiastic about Zhao immediately, and said: "This family business is really good in my opinion, but I, who am a grandmother, are not good to cross the parents of the five girls to be the master, can Mrs. give my wife two days, I have discussed the son and daughter-in-law of the third room first, and then give the government a reply?" ”

Zhao naturally responded with a smile, and left without staying longer.

Although Ma didn't like Yingluo and wanted to send her out early, Yingluo's ability to marry a good family was harmless to the Hou Mansion, and she couldn't be more satisfied with this family business, and felt that being able to set this family business at this time would also be beneficial to the restoration of the reputation of the Hou Mansion girls.

At that moment, she excitedly ordered Mama Duan to hurry up to find Su Dingwen, and when Su Dingwen arrived at Fulu Courtyard, Ma told Zhao about his intention, and asked Su Dingwen: "This family business is the thread you pull from it?" It's really the five girls who are climbing, you can find such a good family for the five girls, it can be seen that you really love her, not for the mother, Brother Han, Brother Fei and the three girls are your sons and daughters, and they have all reached the age of marriage. With this fatherly heart, we should think more about them. ”

Su Dingwen was also very surprised by Zhao's intention, so he remembered the incident of Chu Yige not long ago, when the beggar who intended to mistreat Yingluo in Chu Yige was sent by the eldest young master of the Chi family, and the previous Yingluo sister and brother quality control Su Jingfei and Aunt Liu plotted to kill Yingluo and fell off the cliff, and it was also the young master Chi who witnessed the process at that time.

Now that Chi Jingyi has proposed to marry Yu Yingluo again, if you want to say that the two of them are nothing, Su Dingwen doesn't believe it. Thinking about it like this, how could Su Dingwen not know that Yingluo was only afraid that she was not as aggrieved and innocent as she appeared in the first two things, he originally felt that this concubine was becoming more and more difficult, but now it seems that he still underestimated her.

Su Dingwen was surprised in his heart, he was a little impatient when he heard Ma's complaints and accusations, but he would not refute and contradict the old lady because of filial piety, so he reluctantly responded a few times and coaxed the old lady, and said: "This family business is really not the son's connection, the eldest young master of the Chi family called the aunt and grandmother of the general Zhenwei Mansion, and the five girls were highly regarded by the lady of the Zhenwei General's Mansion, and it was designated that the lady took a fancy to the appearance of the five girls, so she persuaded the old lady Chi." This family matter, the mother has already replied to Meifu two days later, so let her son go back and think about it. The son still had something to do, so he retired first. ”

Su Dingwen said, got up and saluted, and hurriedly retreated.

Seeing that Su Dingwen had to go back to think about such a good family matter, Ma suddenly became angry and his heart was blocked, and he patted the kang and said: "It's just a concubine from the outer room, and she is really regarded as a peerless baby...... At the beginning, I really shouldn't have been reluctant to Brother Han, Brother Fei followed them to endure hardships, and they shouldn't have been raised in front of them. ”

Not to mention that Ma's side beat his chest and feet, and it was very uncomfortable, Su Dingwen went back to the study and asked Yingluo to go to the front yard for questioning.

As soon as Zhao entered Fulu Courtyard, Yingluo got the news, so this son was invited by Su Dingwen to the study in the front yard, and she had already roughly guessed what was going on.

Entering the study, she blessed Su Dingwen, who was sitting behind the bookcase, and said, "My daughter asked my father to say goodbye, I don't know why my father invited his daughter to come?" ”

Su Dingwen stared at Yingluo, his eyes were dull and silent, Yingluo thought that it was probably because Chi Jingyi mentioned his relatives today, and Su Dingwen guessed that he had fallen off the cliff before, as well as the matter of Chu Yige, and he had done it himself. That's why she looked at herself like this, but she wasn't afraid at all in her heart.

He still stood with a smile on his face, and stood up on his own.

She was just passive defense of those two things, it was Su Jingfei and Su Yingyue who did it first, she just didn't let them succeed and exposed their sinister intentions, she had a clear conscience. And she knows that Su Dingwen is a rational person, even if he knows that he has done something, presumably he will not treat her at this moment.

I have to say that Yingluo knows Su Dingwen very well, and Su Dingwen is really not very angry, on the contrary, he looks at the concubine in front of him at the moment and feels really good.

Although it is not easy to get a stunning appearance, in a place like the palace, it must not be uncommon, but if you can still have a smart mind and outstanding means, it is a woman who is rare in a hundred years.

He, a concubine, has means, brains and looks, which is simply too suitable for marrying into the royal family. Although the Chi family is good, in the end, it is still not as tempting as sending it to the Seventh Prince.

Su Dingwen thought about it, but he didn't mention the matter of the Zhao family's entry into the mansion, but said, "Do you know the Seventh Prince?" ”

Yingluo never expected that Su Dingwen would mention Ye Yuxuan this time, she was stunned for a moment, and said with a flat face: "What did my father say, where did I know the Seven Princes as a boudoir woman, and besides, we didn't have much time to go to the capital, and my daughter had only been to the General's Mansion except in the mansion, and she couldn't know the Seventh Prince." Oh, it was blocked by the Xinwang Mansion on the street some time ago, and it was the Seven Princes who came to relieve the siege with the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion, but at that time, the daughter was frightened and didn't even see what the Seven Princes looked like. Why did my father suddenly ask about this? ”

Seeing that Yingluo's face was calm, her eyes showed a blank look, and her expression didn't seem to be fake at all, Su Dingwen felt that this daughter was suitable for mixing in the palace, but he was still a little unhappy that Yingluo deceived him like this.

Pursing his lips, he simply picked out and said: "You don't have to hide it from your father, you knew the Seven Princes when they lived in Sufu in Suizhou, and later it was because of you that the Seven Princes had a chance to attack the little guys around Hua Ge'er, and when they arrived in the capital, the Seven Princes heard that your life and death were unknown, and they came to the Hou Mansion to ask Hua Ge'er the reason for it that day." If you don't know the Seventh Prince in front of you, why should the Seventh Prince interfere in your marriage!? ”

Yingluo's heart was slightly shocked when she heard this, her brows frowned slightly, and she raised her eyes to stare at Su Dingwen, "What does my father mean?" What does he mean by interfering in my marriage? ”

Su Dingwen didn't say much, only said: "You don't have to worry about this, your father only sues you, the matter between you and the Seven Princes is already known to your father, the Seventh Prince is interested in you, that is your blessing, the father decided to send you to the Seventh Prince, you can rest assured, I have inquired for my father, the Seventh Prince does not have a serious woman around him now, last year's draft, the emperor and the concubine Niangniang selected the concubine side concubine for the Seven Princes, the Seven Princes did not agree, and now there are only two Si Bedding waiting around, It is the palace maid who was arranged by the concubine Niangniang to teach the prince and the governor, four or five years older than the seventh prince, you are his favorite, and he will definitely treat you well. ”

Yingluo had long known that Su Dingwen was ambitious and inhumane, but she didn't expect him to decide on her family like this, which would be selling her daughter for glory. Immediately, the hands hanging beside her clenched, and at this time, she didn't want to maintain any delicate image with Su Dingwen, and she didn't want to play any kind of father and daughter filial piety.

She raised her head, walked to the circle chair next to her and sat down slowly, but said calmly and surely: "I won't go to the Seventh Prince's concubine, don't think about it, master." ”

Su Dingwen couldn't believe that Yingluo dared to talk to him like this, he glared at Yingluo angrily, couldn't help but slap the table in front of him, opened his mouth and was about to roar, but Yingluo said coldly: "I can't have children a long time ago, so is the master still ready to send me to the Seventh Prince?" ”

This sentence was like a muffled thunder that gave Su Dingwen to Lei Di and was immediately stunned on the spot, and all the anger disappeared, and he was only half loud that he was sure that what Yingluo said was not an auditory hallucination, his face was ugly and scary for a while, and he suddenly got up and said, "What do you mean by not being able to have children?" That's what you, a boudoir girl, can say? What nonsense are you talking about! ”

Yingluo pulled the corners of her lips and smiled mockingly, squinted at Su Dingwen and said, "Does my father think I will make fun of this?" Your good wife, my grandmother, has prepared a soup for me, and I have been fed it as a tonic. This is not nonsense, but my father doesn't believe it, so I can ask a doctor to diagnose my pulse now. ”

Yingluo's expression was full of coldness and ridicule, and her words were even more categorical, Su Dingwen already believed her in her heart, but she still retained the last bit of luxury, hoping that Yingluo was lying in order not to be a concubine for Ye Yuxuan, stared at Yingluo twice, and strode out of the house.

Yingluo knew that he was going to ask the doctor, but she just smiled sarcastically, poured a cup of tea and waited for it.

At that time, in Suizhou, I learned that the body was poured with Juezi soup, Yingluo was worried about it, and always wanted to find an opportunity to find a famous doctor to diagnose the pulse to see if it could be saved.

At that time, Dr. Zhou said that her body was indeed damaged, and she needed to take medicine all year round, and she would see if there was an improvement in a year or two.

Because Dr. Zhou was Chi Jingyi's personal doctor, when Dr. Zhou asked Yingluo for a pulse, Yingluo did not deliberately avoid Chi Jingyi, and Chi Jingyi knew about it. At that time, Dr. Zhou prescribed a long-term conditioning prescription for Yingluo, and even the medicine was personally taken by Chi Jingyi at the Donghu Wharf to catch Dr. Zhou.

The medicine Yingluo was eaten on the ship that came to Beijing for a few days, and it was as bitter as yellow lotus water, and after eating that pair, she never let anyone catch it when she arrived at the Hou Mansion.

There is also this reason that Yingluo will feel that Chi Jingyi will not like herself, and when he proposed to her in the teahouse to confess, she was so surprised, and she never thought of it.

Chi Jingyi obviously knew that she was physically damaged by Song's calculations, and she also showed great sincerity to ask for marriage, Yingluo was really moved, she had already thought about marrying him, and she would definitely cooperate with Dr. Zhou to treat her illness, and she would never give up because of the bitterness of the medicine, and she would manage her marriage well.

Now Su Dingwen actually wants her to enter the palace to fight for the glory and wealth of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, hehe, then she might as well let Su Dingwen know that she has already been ruined by his good wife, and also let Su Dingwen know that it is difficult for her to be an heir like this, and she is afraid that she will miss the proposal of Chifu this time, and it will really be difficult to "sell" at a better price.

Two moments later, Su Dingwen's henchman Yang Fucai personally led a doctor with gorgeous hair into the study, and Yingluo also sat behind the screen in the study, only stretched out one arm, and put a silk handkerchief on his wrist to check the pulse of the old doctor.

When the old doctor asked Yingluo's left hand and right hand to change for a cup of tea, then followed Su Dingwen to the side hall to speak, and Su Dingwen asked solemnly: "How?" ”

The old doctor shook his head and sighed: "This girl has been consumed with the medicine of the tiger and wolf, and she may have suffered from the cold, alas...... Please redeem yourself and there is nothing you can do, so please be smart, old man and say goodbye. ”

The doctor said that it was not lonely Su Dingwen to keep and wave his hand and leave without even opening the prescription, Su Dingwen's legs were soft for a while, and his expression was tired.

Yingluo faintly heard the movement outside behind the screen, and saw that the old doctor didn't even open the prescription, and she was not surprised.

The Chi family is wealthy and well-connected, and Chi Jingyi's doctor is not an incompetent rat, and ordinary doctors are inferior. What's more, doctors like this kind of doctor who is invited to the house at will are generally unwilling to take more responsibility, and they will say that minor illnesses are more serious, and if there is a tricky disease, they will naturally say that they are serious, so as not to be cured, and then offend the official master, and the business will not be guaranteed.

When the old doctor walked away, Su Dingwen entered the study, but Yingluo sneered and said, "Now my father should believe my words, right?!" Are you still going to send me to be a concubine for the Seventh Prince? ”

Although Su Dingwen hated Yingluo's attitude, he felt that Yingluo's cynicism could be understood, a woman was cut off from the fate of the heir, no matter how sharp and resentful she was, she should be bitter.

He couldn't help but look at Yingluo with complicated eyes and said, "Since you already knew about this, why didn't you sue SΓΉ as your father?" ”

Yingluo smiled and said, "Madame is covering the sky with one hand in the inner house, and I have no evidence, even if I sue my father's doctor, will you believe me?" After that, a strange smile tugged at the corner of her lips, and she said, "Actually, I think my father should have let the doctor take the pulse." ”

Yingluo's words made Su Dingwen's eyes narrow, and his face changed drastically, he was not a fool, he was reminded by Yingluo that he could not be suspicious. He is still so young, but since Su Yingzhen, he has never made a woman pregnant, whether it is the Song family or the concubine!

Although Su Dingwen has a lot of heirs, he does not worry about breaking the incense, and there is no successor, but a man will not dislike too many heirs, not to mention, for an ambitious man like Su Dingwen, even if he has a son-in-law, he is "useless" at a young age, which is simply a great shame!

Su Dingwen didn't have the heart to discuss Yingluo's marriage for a while, he only felt that the blue tendons on his forehead were jumping suddenly, and his blood was surging, so he waved his hand and said, "You go back first, your business will be discussed another day." ”

Yingluo wished that Su Dingwen would go to the Song family to settle accounts now, and then she was even more disgusted with the children born by the Song family, so she lowered her head and smiled and left-
