"What else can it be," Mrs. Liu sighed softly, "It's just a matter of getting by." "The marriage between Han Qing and Liu Ruojuan, whether it is the dowry sent over by the Marquis of Zhending's Mansion or various arrangements, can be passed on face, after all, this is not only about the decency of the Liu family, but also about the decency of the eldest princess herself and the Marquis of Zhending. But if you want to think about it, it is quite perfunctory.

"And it's no wonder." Second Mrs. Liu told Liu Ruoxi about the arrangements of the Marquis of Zhending's mansion, and then said, "If the family affair formed in this way is changed to our family, my heart will not be happy." ”

"In this way, it is better not to end this family business." Liu Ruoxi said.

"If you don't tie the knot, you can't do it, both families have to take care of their own face. …… The second girl made the big guy have no way out. Mrs. Liu said.

"Now that's the case, she's also to blame." Liu Ruoxi nodded.

"Our family has been offended by her. When she got married, the eldest princess was not a charitable person, and she could expect what she could do. Second Mrs. Liu lowered her voice as she spoke, "You had an accident that day, and the big guys went to the palace." When I came back, the old lady whispered to me. If the second girl can struggle out of the Hou Mansion and take care of her family, the family will not deny her at that time. But if she can't struggle......"

"What if she can't struggle?" Liu Ruoxi asked.

"The old lady's original words, life and death are up to her, and the government will not care about her, or stand up for her." Mrs. Liu said.

Mrs. Liu's plan was actually expected by Liu Ruoxi, so she didn't say much. The mother and son talked about Liu Ruojuan, and Liu Ruoxi asked about Liu Yuwen again. Speaking of Liu Yuwen, Mrs. Liu's face was full of smiles.

“…… He was born to read, and what is even more gratifying is that he works hard again, and your father said that his articles are getting better and better, and he will wait for another two years. Let him take the test first. This child is also sensible and caring, you marry into the palace, he knows that your father and I are not used to it, and he is lonely around him, so he comes to us every day to accompany us. …… is a lovely child, and often talks about you and Cheng Han. ”

Liu Ruoxi heard that Liu Yuwen was very good, and she was intimate with Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu, and her heart was also happy.

Soon, Mrs. Liu San came over and said that the banquet had been prepared. Ask Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoji to come over and sit down.

"Old lady's ......," Liu Ruoji asked Mrs. Liu.

"It's all right." Mrs. Liu San said with a smile, "I told the eldest lady that the old lady wants to subsidize which grandchild she wants to give depends on the old lady's own wishes, not the rules of the family." The old lady gave it, and the big guy took it. If the old lady doesn't give it, no one should ask for it. The co-author has not been filial to the old lady, but first asked the old lady for money, what is the matter? The skin is too thick. When I said this, the eldest lady was also ashamed. I don't think she'll talk about it again. ”

It turned out that after everyone left, Mrs. Liu San was still alive and well, and mocked Mrs. Liu for a while, before the matter of asking for dowry subsidies was over.

"That's what they found themselves." Mrs. Liu San said. If the old lady didn't mention it herself, she should know that there was no hope, and she didn't give up and came to ask for it. Isn't this embarrassing for yourself? It's also that their mother and daughter are not greedy enough, they only care about their own cheapness, and they don't think the family is enough. Public/out. It's already a good dowry, and I want to compare with our three girls, where can she compare to that. ”

"I'm really a little worried today, I'm afraid that the old lady won't be able to pull her face, so I promised to give them a silver supplement." Finally, Mrs. Liu San smiled again.

Just like that, they went to Mrs. Liu's courtyard again, the banquet had been arranged, and Liu Ruoxi and Mrs. Liu sat at a table with Mrs. Liu. During the banquet, a female family member who came to add a box suddenly asked why she hadn't seen Mrs. Liu's mother's family.

The Feng family is not in Beijing, but relatives and friends are constantly exchanging news, so they naturally know that Liu Ruojuan is going to get married. Despite this, no one from the Feng family came, and only sent the steward to send a gift the day before yesterday.

Someone asked, of course, Mrs. Liu couldn't tell the truth, only said that the Feng family was entangled in something and couldn't come.

After the banquet was over, Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan were about to say goodbye and go back, so Mrs. Liu grabbed Liu Ruoxi and asked.

"Do you want to go to the banquet in the palace?"

Liu Ruoxi couldn't answer this question, so she had to go to see Rong Chenghan.

"Father and mother should go." Rong Chenghan thought about it and said, "The eldest sister-in-law never goes out to socialize, and the second sister-in-law also takes care of things at home." The mother concubine will take Grandma over, and I will go too. ”

Rong Chenghan said this, and Liu Ruoxi nodded to Mrs. Liu.

"That's good." Mrs. Liu agreed with Liu Ruoxi to meet at that time, and ordered someone to pack two boxes of snacks for Liu Ruoxi to bring back, one box is what Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan love to eat, and the other box is prepared for King Yongjing and Su Shi, "It's Poria ginseng cake, I specially ordered it to be made in the small kitchen to make up for the prince and princess." ”

King Yongjing and Su gave Mrs. Liu a plant of old ginseng, and Mrs. Liu not only prepared a box of Poria ginseng cake here, but also gave two boxes of Shou Wu and Snow Lotus as a return gift.

These return gifts were not prepared by Liufu, but by Mrs. Liu's own private room. Liu Ruoxi also understood the mind of the second wife Liu, even if the Su family treated her harshly, they also had a scene with the Su family, but the second wife Liu still hoped that Liu Ruoxi could get along well with the Su family, and hoped that the Su family could treat Liu Ruoxi well.

Back at the palace, Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan came to see King Yongjing and the Su family first, and then handed over the things sent by Mrs. Liu. King Yongjing nodded, asked the young couple a few more words, and let them go back. When Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruoxi left, King Yongjing also got up and went to the study.

"The prince has not been in good health for the past two days, so he should rest more. If there is anything, it is the same to explain it to the people below to do. Su Shi hurriedly stopped King Yongjing and said.

"I'm fine." King Yongjing waved his hand, and at the same time, he saw the things sent by Liu Ruoxi, "The Liu family is a person who knows etiquette, Liu Hanlin is a humble gentleman, and Mrs. Liu is a beautiful lady, because you ...... I was forced by you, and it still embarrasses me when I think about it. You should also look at how people treat you and think about what you do. Don't be ashamed. ”

King Yongjing brought up the matter of the Su family's troubles for Liu Ruoxi again. Su Shi had no choice but to keep silent and bow his head.

"Think about it, don't be rude in front of people again, laugh and be generous." King Yongjing glanced at the Su clan and went out.

The next day, it was the day when the Marquis of Zhending and the Liu family got married, and sure enough, as Rong Chenghan said, King Yongjing and the Su family were going to go. Rong Chengyi, Rong Chengxiang and Rong Chenghan all had to accompany him, and the Su family was planning to take Lao's with him, and asked Liu Ruoxi if she was going.

Liu Ruoxi nodded naturally.

Now. However, in the eldest princess's house, the eldest princess was sitting on the couch, Han Qing was crooked on the eldest princess, but there was no joy on the faces of the mother and son.

"Mother, do I have to marry her? I hate her when I think about it. Han Qing pursed her lips and hummed to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess patted Han Qing on the back lightly.

"It's not that you're unproductive!"

"Mother!" Han Qing stretched out his voice and shouted.

The eldest princess sighed. He gently patted Han Qing's back again.

"You are not young anymore, and you have chosen a daughter-in-law for so long, and it is time to get married. We have no choice but to marry that slut and enter the door. Pick it up and come in the door. It's up to her. You hate her, don't you like her? After a while, I picked her up and entered the door, and everything was handed over to my mother. After a year and a half, I will marry you a wishful daughter-in-law. This is just a joke. In the end, the eldest princess's tone was already a little unpredictable.

But Han Qing listened. But he breathed a sigh of relief, and his face showed joy.

"Mother, then I'll leave it all to you, don't let her bother me."

The eldest princess looked at Han Qing with a scoundrel look, and she was very helpless in her heart, but she lowered her face.

"This matter, my mother will take care of the aftermath for you. It's just that you are not allowed to be willful in the future. Whichever one your mother fancy, you will marry whichever one you like. ”

Hearing the eldest princess say this, the happy expression on Han Qing's face gradually dissipated, and finally drooped/pulled down his head, and responded weakly.

"That's right, I believe in my mother's vision, my mother won't harm you."

As the eldest princess was saying this, a little girl ran in outside to report that King Yongjing's family had arrived.

"Who's here?" The eldest princess asked.

Han Qing also raised her head and stared at the little girl to listen to her reply.

"The prince and princess of Yongjing are here, as well as the prince of the world, the second master of the palace, and Wu Yanghou are also here." The little girl was busy reporting.

"Is Princess Yongjing here alone?" Han Qing asked.

"The princess brought the second lady of the palace and Mrs. Wu Yanghou to come together." The little girl said.

Han Qing jumped up from the eldest princess all of a sudden.

"Do what?" The eldest princess immediately reprimanded, "Be steady." ”

The eldest princess said this, and stood up as well.

"You go to the front and follow your father to accompany Prince Yongjing." The eldest princess instructed Han Qing, but she was not at ease, so she arranged for a proper girl and a little maid to follow Han Qing, "Look at the little marquis, don't let him run around." ”

After sending Han Qing away, the eldest princess hurriedly straightened her dress, took everyone to the second gate, and personally welcomed the Su family in.

Liu Ruoxi accompanied the Su family to the eldest princess's house and sat down, and a little girl brought tea and fruit. Liu Ruoxi held the teacup, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the eldest princess looking at her. Liu Ruoxi just didn't notice it, and her demeanor was as usual.

The eldest princess's gaze swirled back and forth on Liu Ruoxi's body a few times, and her heart also tossed up and down a few times. Liu Ruoxi is already outstanding, but now she is married to a wife, and she is no longer dressed as plain as she used to be in the boudoir, a brocade robe with red sleeves and gold butterflies wearing flowers will make Liu Ruoxi's figure appear more graceful, and it also makes Liu Ruoxi's pretty / face more radiant.

Today's Liu Ruoxi seems to have added a bit of charm in addition to being pretty/beautiful, which makes people see it, and they can't help but take a few more looks.

Even if the eldest princess doesn't like Liu Ruoxi in her heart, she can't help but secretly praise Liu Ruoxi at this moment. At the same time, the eldest princess was also secretly glad that thanks to her foresight, she took a step forward to support Han Qing. Otherwise, when Han Qing saw Liu Ruoxi's current appearance, he didn't know what would happen and how many disasters would be caused.

"It's only been a few days, and Mrs. Wu Yanghou is getting more and more out of the water. The princess is a blessed person, and having such a peugeot daughter-in-law is really eye-catching. The eldest princess and Su Shi exchanged a few polite words, and then turned the topic to Liu Ruoxi.

"If the eldest princess doesn't praise him like this, this child is just a little more than the average person." Su Shi said, "The eldest princess took the second girl of the Liu family into the door today, why envy me." ”

The eldest princess glanced at Su Shi quickly, and saw that Su Shi's face was as usual, as if there was no other meaning in what she said just now. However, the eldest princess's heart was still uncomfortable for a moment, but this did not affect her from continuing to say what she was going to say.

"The best one has let the princess go, and the princess's blessing is always stronger than mine. I heard that Mrs. Wu Yanghou was sick a few days ago, but now she is getting better? It looks good. The eldest princess had a concerned look on her face.

Su Shi lowered his head and drank tea, but did not answer.

"Thank you for the eldest princess, it's just an accidental illness, and she has already recovered." Liu Ruoxi replied, and asked again, "When I came in just now, I saw a little girl, with a very kind face, has the third aunt of the Liu family ever come?" ”

Liu Ruoxi was sick that time, everyone probably knew something inside, and would never ask about it in person. The eldest princess will not be closed to the extent that she does not know, but I am afraid that she knows better than others, and it stands to reason that she will not deliberately mention this topic in front of Su and Liu Ruoxi. But the eldest princess just asked. Liu Ruoxi sensed the eldest princess's intentions and wanted to divert the topic, so it would be great if she could get out of it.

"Mrs. Liu hasn't come yet." The eldest princess said with a smile, and said to Liu Ruoxi with a smile, "Even if you are young, you can't be careless." Originally, I didn't know it, but now that we are close to each other, I only know by chance. The old lady and the whole family were shocked, the old marquis and the prince rushed back from outside the city overnight, and Wu Yanghou also specially asked the saint for instructions......"

If Liu Ruoxi was still a little unsure just now, but now she is completely sure, the eldest princess deliberately talked about this topic, as for the purpose, it is naturally not a good intention.

"The eldest princess is well-informed." Liu Ruoxi smiled, the clouds were light, "But the rumors can't be believed." The father, the prince and the prince have important tasks, and there are some things that we can not find out. ”

Su Shi put down the teacup and glanced at Liu Ruoxi quickly. Lowe's gaze from the side was full of admiration. Liu Ruoxi's understatement neither admitted anything nor denied anything, but the eldest princess couldn't continue to ask, otherwise she would seem eventful and ignorant.

Without waiting for the eldest princess to say anything, Su Shi had already opened her mouth and opened the topic.

"Oh, by the way, Mrs. Su is here, and the seven girls are waiting to see the princess!" The eldest princess laughed. (To be continued......)
