Chapter 177: Candidates

Liu Ruoxi felt a little curious when she heard this, she stepped forward and took the invitation card, handed it to Mrs. Liu, and then looked at it carefully with Mrs. Liu.

"This invitation is interesting, it looks more like a poem, this is the person who is going to write his poem on it?! …… Three invitations, are you inviting three people? After reading the invitation, Liu Ruoxi said with a smile.

Old Lady Liu glanced at Liu Ruoxi approvingly. Liu Ruoxi was very smart and saw the problem so quickly

There are more than three girls in the Liu family, who is the eldest princess invited? This sentence, Liu Ruoxi is not good at writing, so Mrs. Liu Second opened her mouth to ask Mrs. Liu.

“…… The old lady who sent me only said that the eldest princess had seen the girls in our family and liked it very much. And knowing that the talents of the girls in our family must be good, the eldest father will invite some young girls to hold a poetry party and invite the girls of our family to go. …… I didn't say that only three were invited, nor did I say who was invited. Mrs. Liu said, this is why she called Mrs. Liu to discuss.

"Although I didn't say it, there are only three invitations, and the number is set." Mrs. Liu said.

Liu Ruoxi nodded beside her, wondering if the eldest princess had any mystery this time.

"That's what I thought, too. Among your concubines, that is, you are the best learner and know these things best, so I came to you. If you look at it that way, that's right. Old Lady Liu spoke, with a contemplative expression on her face.

A few days ago, it was rumored that the eldest princess specially invited the three girls from the Dingyuan family to come over to talk, and everyone decided that the eldest princess had chosen the girl from the Wei family as her daughter-in-law. Now, the eldest princess has sent someone to send these three invitations, hasn't the eldest princess made up her mind yet, and the girls of the Liu family still have a chance?

"Old lady, in addition to our family, did the eldest princess invite girls from other people's families to come over?" Liu Ruoxi asked Mrs. Liu.

"I also asked the old lady about it." Old Lady Liu glanced at Liu Ruoxi.

In addition to sending people to send invitations to the Liu family, the eldest princess also sent two invitations to the Yuan Bowei family. In addition, I also invited two inconspicuous girls from other houses. Obviously, the girls of the Liu family and the Wei family are the main event, and the other two girls are just foils.

"Which three girls of our family are the old lady going to arrange?" Mrs. Liu asked Mrs. Liu.

“…… I was about to ask what you mean. Mrs. Liu said, her eyes fell on Mrs. Liu.

"It's all up to the old lady to arrange, and the daughter-in-law knows what to do." Mrs. Liu naturally excused herself.

“…… Consult with you, listen to what you mean, and you don't have to be so careful. Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Liu and said.

"Oh......" Hearing what Mrs. Liu said, Mrs. Liu couldn't excuse herself, "The girls in the family are all good, just go anywhere." Don't disgrace our family either. …… The four girls are good, or lively, and they know the rules, I think the eldest princess liked the four girls very much last time. ”

This is a good thing, and Mrs. Liu recommended Liu Ruoshan first.

"Old lady, the eldest sister has been bored at home these days, and she should go out for a walk. The eldest sister's poems are said to have learned well, so in my opinion, the old lady will arrange for the eldest sister to go. Liu Ruoxi thought for a moment. also said.

For the eldest sister, Liu Ruoxi is still more sympathetic in her heart. Since the last time she was courted, the eldest sister has been very depressed and more taciturn than before. It seems that he has become less courageous, and he is often alone in a daze. It's not a good thing to go on like this. Liu Ruoxi thought about letting her eldest sister participate in this poetry meeting. Scatter your mind, maybe you can be more cheerful.

Mrs. Liu didn't speak, just looked at Liu Ruoxi. There was some contemplation in his eyes.

"Don't worry, old lady, although the eldest sister is a little honest, let's tell the four girls to take her with her, and nothing will happen." The eldest sister is an honest child and will not cause trouble like Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan.

"It's hard for you to think about the eldest sister like this," Mrs. Liu smiled, "That's fine, except for the four girls, let the eldest sister go too." ”

As for the other candidate, Mrs. Liu's eyes naturally fell on Liu Ruoxi. deliberately asked Mrs. Liu to discuss this matter, Mrs. Liu's plan is already self-evident, among the three candidates, there must be Liu Ruoxi.

"Oh, I'm not going." Liu Ruoxi waved her hand in a hurry.

"Who is going if you don't go?" Mrs. Liu sneered at Liu Ruoxi, "Regardless of anything else, you sisters are the first to talk about this literacy and hyphenation and poetry writing, and you are the first one." Following your father to study since childhood, are you still shirking this matter? Let you/mother pick out a few clothes for you, and then give our parents a long face. ”

This time I went to the poetry meeting held by the eldest princess, naturally it will not be as simple as comparing literature among girls, this is the eldest princess's further daughter-in-law candidate in the examination school. Mrs. Liu wouldn't have thought of this, but when she said this, Liu Ruoxi couldn't refute it.

Liu Ruoxi hurriedly turned her head and asked Mrs. Liu for help.

Second Mrs. Liu glanced at Liu Ruoxi and asked her to avoid it for the time being. Liu Ruoxi understood, so she went to the next room to find peony and a few other girls to play.

"Old lady, the third girl is not happy to go, so don't let her go." When Mrs. Liu saw that Liu Ruoxi was gone, she said to Mrs. Liu.

"The three girls don't understand this, don't you understand? If you are someone else, you can't grab it, why don't you let the three girls go? Mrs. Liu was a little dissatisfied, thinking that Mrs. Liu had no calculations in her heart, and she was so vague about her daughter's life.

"Old lady, last time I went to the Marquis of Zhending's mansion, the eldest princess seemed to be good to the three girls, but in fact...... The eldest princess doesn't like the temperament of our three girls. Although the prince of Zhending Hou is a good family, he can be a ...... According to the master, it is quite flashy and unreal, and it is a gentleman. The lord didn't like him. This is the rhetoric that Liu Ruoxi has discussed with Mrs. Liu a long time ago, that is, if she encounters this situation one day, she will explain it to Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu can ignore the opinions of Mrs. Liu or Liu Ruoxi, but she can't help but seriously consider what Mrs. Liu means.

"Did the second master really say that?" Mrs. Liu asked Mrs. Liu.

"Such a big thing, how dare the daughter-in-law lie to the old lady." Second Mrs. Liu nodded, "As early as the eldest princess, there was a message that she wanted to choose a daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law talked to the master, and the master said this." The meaning of the master, the three girls want to find relatives, the most important thing is that they are quite old, and they want the other party to be a sincere, down-to-earth and reliable descendant, and the rest of the family history is the last thing. ”

Mrs. Liu didn't speak for a long time.

"Old lady, our three girls are a little straight, and they are not suitable for this family business. Knowing that it is not suitable, we don't have this mind, so it's better not to go to this kind of poetry. "It just so happened that the eldest princess sent someone to send an invitation, but she didn't say who she wanted to invite.

"You don't like this family business, where is there a better one?" Old Mrs. Liu looked at Second Mrs. Liu, and suddenly seemed to think of something, so she lowered her voice, "You guys...... Don't you have any other plans? ”

Mrs. Liu thought of a certain possibility, and her heart couldn't help jumping.

Mrs. Liu asked like this, and Mrs. Liu immediately understood what Mrs. Liu meant, but the current situation is unclear, and it is really difficult to answer.

Old Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Liu's expression and nodded.

"I see. It is only natural that you have this in mind. If it can be done, it will be a good thing, better than the eldest princess here. ”

"Old lady, this is not a word. In any case, the gate of the Marquis of Zhending is inappropriate. Mrs. Liu said busily. Regardless of whether the things she and Second Master Liu planned in their hearts could be accomplished, Han Qing was not within their consideration.

"When the old man comes back, I'll talk to the old lady in detail." Mrs. Liu said.

went to the Zhending Marquis Mansion to participate in the poetry meeting, and Mrs. Liu was obviously partial to Liu Ruoxi. This is Mrs. Liu's kindness, they refused like this, so they thought that it was better to let the second master Liu talk to Mrs. Liu, so as not to make Mrs. Liu feel uncomfortable.

Mrs. Liu's words, in Mrs. Liu's ears, had a different meaning. Mrs. Liu thought that the second master Liu was going to come to talk to him in detail about marrying the Yongjing Palace. This is a big deal, and of course the family should be cautious, discuss and plan carefully.

Mrs. Liu was very satisfied and nodded again and again.

If Liu Ruoxi doesn't go to the poetry meeting, then there will be one place left in the selection of the three candidates. Among the girls of the Liu family, there are two to choose from, Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan.

But neither Mrs. Liu nor Liu Ruoxi mentioned these two people.

"Even if you give three posts, you can't arrange more people to go, and it doesn't have to be three people. It doesn't hurt if two people go. Second Mrs. Liu said to Mrs. Liu.

"I'll think again." Mrs. Liu was noncommittal to Mrs. Liu's proposal, and only sent Mrs. Liu back.

……

“…… The second girl's legs are not completely good now, so naturally she can't go. There is also a big girl, where do I dare to mention her, she has that temperament, I am afraid that she will cause trouble. In Mrs. Liu's house, Mrs. Liu was talking to Mrs. Liu, who rushed to hear the news.

Mrs. Liu San listened to Mrs. Liu's words and felt very confidant. In the past, Mrs. Liu, even if she thought so in her heart, she would not say it, not to mention, she would not think so from the root. Mrs. Liu San felt that she and Mrs. Liu were becoming more and more connected.

"It's the second sister-in-law. In our own house, so many people look fine, go out, who knows what she can do. and the two girls, thanks to the broken leg, otherwise, it would not be an Ansheng goods. Look at the silent and do things to scare people to death! ”

"I'm afraid the old lady doesn't think so." Mrs. Liu said.

"I'm also worried, and besides, where will the eldest lady let go of this opportunity! Or should we let the three girls go! (To be continued......)
