Chapter 320: Marriage Proposal
Ruan Hanyan sighed in her heart, and stepped forward to greet her. Concubine Xian called her to sit down at hand, and ordered someone to fetch a pair of bracelets for her, "I see that what you are wearing on your hand is still the old things of your mother, although the jade color is good, the color is a little dull, and it is not suitable for a young girl like you." This pair of gold-inlaid knurled flowers is a new pattern in the palace, although the jade color is not top-notch, it is skillful in workmanship, and it is taken out and worn during the New Year, which makes people look better and better. ”
Ruan Hanyan hurriedly got up and thanked him, and Mrs. Ruan said again, "You have to take what Niangniang gave you." When I went back, I didn't attract the eyes of that slut, and I turned around and let your father come and go. ”
Ruan Hanyan couldn't answer this, and Concubine Xian sighed, "Dad is really unseemly, and he is still pulling left and right into the house at this age." Okay, mother, don't complain anymore, I'll let people go out and say a few words to him. But right now, my sister's marriage is the big deal. ”
Ruan Hanyan's face turned red when she heard this, and she wanted to retreat, but Concubine Xian pulled her back and said, "Although you are not born to your mother, you were raised by your mother, how has your mother treated you and me all these years?" ”
Ruan Hanyan's heart jumped suddenly, and she said, "My mother treats me like my closest relatives, and my sister treats me like my own siblings." ”
Seeing her sensible appearance, Concubine Xian nodded, "Since you know the way, that sister won't hide it from you, what is the situation in our family now, I believe you can also understand it." Daddy is useless, the brothers can't become successful yet, and it's too hard to rely on my sister to support me in this palace alone. Han Yan, you have to help my sister. ”
Ruan Hanyan was taken aback, and her face suddenly turned white, "Sister." You want me to ...... Entering the palace? ”
Concubine Xian smiled bitterly, "If my sister had this idea in the past, but now she won't have it again." The emperor advocated saving, and then stuffed people into the harem, which was uninteresting. Besides, the days in this palace, I don't say that you understand. You and I are sisters in the end, and I really can't bear to involve you. It's just Han Yan, you are the most prominent one among the sisters in the family, so you can't be willful in your marriage, and you have to take care of the overall situation. Do you know the way? ”
I heard that you don't need to enter the palace. Ruan Hanyan's face was slightly better, but her palms were still cold, and she said timidly, "I listen to my sister." ”
Concubine Xian nodded with satisfaction. Let go and let her step back. I told my mother.
"I want Han Yan to do a continuation for Lord Liao."
Mrs. Ruan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, "Liao Tingwei is one of the Nine Qings, and he is indeed in a high position. But how old is he? It's enough to be Yan'er's grandfather, it's not good to send her to do the sequel, right? ”
Concubine Xian smiled bitterly, "Does my mother think I'm that ruthless person?" Yan'er is my sister, and with this identity, all the princes are not good at touching her side. There are school-age children in the Dingguo Mansion and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, but can people look down on the geese who came out of the concubine? If you can't do it high, it's better to do a continuation for Lord Liao. At her age, she must be loved by Lord Liao, but she is more powerful than being an ordinary young lady. ”
Mrs. Ruan thought for a moment, "But will Lord Liao agree?" Don't shave our heads and pick hot heads, and make people laugh at that time. ”
Concubine Xian smiled, "I have inquired a long time ago, several of Lord Liao's concubines are similar to Yan'er, all of them are petite and gentle, if our family is willing to speak out, Lord Liao will definitely agree." At that time, Lord Liao will be an in-law, not to mention how much he can help me, and the life of several brothers will be better. ”
Mrs. Ruan was tempted, and no matter how sorry she was for the concubine she raised, in the end, a family still had to rely on her children and grandchildren to support her. If the sacrifice of the concubine can be exchanged for the interests of the entire family, it is worth it. Besides, this is not a sacrifice, although it is a continuation of the string, it is the main room, the name is right, why not?
"That's okay, I'll go back and talk to Yan'er well, she has a soft temperament, and I don't expect to be unacceptable."
Concubine Xian waited for this sentence, and asked her mother to take her sister away, so that she started her own little abacus.
Her son is still young, ranked late, and has poor qualifications, so it is difficult to compete for the throne, but if he can get the help of powerful relatives, the difference between being a powerful prince and a losing prince is still very big. Especially her daughter, who is about to get married, must have someone to speak in front of her.
Just thinking about her daughter, Concubine Xian's daughter came in, it was Princess Changle, "Mother, you said that Shouning's girl is not stupid, she is actually going to become a monk, should I send her a string of jade prayer beads to express my heart?" ”
She had a bad relationship with Concubine Zheng Guifei before, and she was almost married to Fanbang, and now that she sees that something happened over there, she is naturally gloating.
Concubine Xian glared at her sharply, "Put away your face, you don't have to be seen." I've all suffered losses, why don't you know how to be afraid of the dark? ”
Princess Changle said unhappily, "It's just a matter of pretending to be outside, why do you let me pretend to be here when you come to the concubine?" Tired or not! ”
"No matter how tired you are, put up with it for me until you sit in the sedan chair smoothly!" Concubine Xian said angrily, "If it weren't for your family affairs, would I marry your Aunt Yan to a bad old man like Liao Tingwei under infamy?" ”
Princess Changle was surprised, "You married Aunt Yan to Lord Liao, what does it matter to me?" He doesn't have a good son to match me! ”
Concubine Xian glanced at her, "The Liao family doesn't have a good son to match you, but Lord Liao has a great friendship with the Marquis of Zhenyuan." The Guan family is an only grandson, if I can help talk about this family business, I will be worthy of you in this life. ”
Princess Ke Changle was a little dissatisfied, "What's so good about that Guan Yaozu?" So far, he has no fame, he is not civil, he is not martial arts, what do you like about him, mother? ”
Concubine Xian sneered, "You still dare to dislike others? I am also dissatisfied with the capital, who has a simple population like the Guan family? There is an old lady and her parents-in-law above, and there is no concubine to share your property, and there is no sister-in-law to be married. You married someone else's only seedling, and it's too late for the whole family to hold you and coax you, who will give you anger? ”
Changle was speechless for a while, and then wanted to refute, but Concubine Xian directly said her thoughts, "The boy of the Gongsun family has good looks and fame, but can you marry into that family?" Don't say anything else, just it, you can't handle that Jane's, don't think about these thoughts. Marry the Guan family honestly, and you will be grateful to me for the rest of your life! ”
Changle pouted sullenly, but Concubine Xian suddenly remembered something again, "The eighth year of Deqing made an appointment with the county lord of Jiashan to play together, right?" You will give me a good performance when you arrive, and be close to others. I just don't look at King Ping's face, I heard that she has long been friends with that kid from the Guan family, I'm afraid I can help you. Hey, you haven't worn the new pair of golden hairpins I gave you last time, have you? Send it to her then, don't be stingy! ”
"Zhilu Dao!" Changle responded unhappily, turned around and ran.
And in the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, Mrs. Guan had someone's idea.
"Master, do you think we should go to the Pingwang Mansion to pay a New Year's greeting?"
Guan Tianxiao rubbed his weapon lovingly and looked at her in surprise. "For no reason. What are you doing in the palace? ”
"How can it be called gratuitous? Yaozu and the sister of the Zhu family, ah no, the lord of Jiashan has a friendship, let's take the child over and walk around. And what? ”
Guan Tianxiao looked at the mysterious smile on his wife's face again. Suddenly, I understood. "Your son, it can't be!"
"How could it be?" Mrs. Guan said to herself, Guan Yaozu is back. "Father, mother, what are you talking about? What can't be? ”
Mrs. Guan said angrily, "Where have you been this day?" ”
Guan Yaozu smiled and took out two packs of dim sum, "I went to Mr.'s house to pay New Year's greetings, and I also went to Poyuan by the way, and brought a bag of dim sum back for you and grandma." ”
Mrs. Guan smiled first, and suddenly opened her mouth to ask something, but Guan Tianxiao sank her face first, "There is no your father?" ”
Guan Yaozu spread his hands and said, "The kind of salty taste you like to eat, only Sister Zhu can make it, and now that she is not here, there is no way." ”
Mrs. Guan glanced at Guan Tianxiao, took the snack, and looked at her son with a smile, "You still call someone else's sister, you should be called the county lord." Hurry up and change your clothes, get some gifts, and go to the Ping Palace. ”
"What am I going to do at his house?" Guan Yaozu's face was inexplicable, "Ouyang Kang and his family have all run away, I won't be too blind to go again, right?" ”
Mrs. Guan was stunned, "Ouyang family? What are they going to do? ”
"Of course, it's a New Year's greeting and a kiss!" Guan Yaozu said as he should, "Fools can see it, mother, what else do you ask?" ”
But Mrs. Guan scoffed, "Impossible! It is impossible for the Ping Wangfu to agree. ”
"For what?" Guan Gongzi was curious.
Mrs. Guan's reason is very simple, "The door is not right, the door is wrong." ”
Guan Yaozu didn't believe it, "Then it was wrong for them to be in Yemen in the past, but the Ouyang family never disliked Sister Zhu at that time!" ”
Mrs. Guan smiled, "You're still too young." If you don't believe it, wait and see, if the Ping Wangfu can agree, my mother will have your surname. ”
Isn't this nonsense? Even Guan Tianxiao glanced at his wife with disdain, you married into the Guan family, and you originally changed your surname to Guan, do you still want to change your surname? It's too kid-friendly!
Not to mention the gossip behind the backs of the Guan family, the treatment of Ouyang Kang's family in Pingwangfu is really not very optimistic.
Of course, tea is the best tea, dim sum is the best dim sum, and the smoker in the house is also very warm, almost sweating out, but King Ping has been playing Tai Chi with people there, and he doesn't take the topic to the right path.
As soon as the old lady mentioned the old relationship, Mu Shaoqin expressed deep concern for the past major and minor affairs of the two parties, and continued to get to the bottom of it. Su Cheng mentioned Ouyang Kang and Nianfu in the early days of the capital, Mu Shaoqin sighed at the miss with his daughter, and expressed his sincere gratitude to the elders for their care and help.
The old lady tried to divert the target and wanted to catch up with the second elder of the Shi family, but was blocked back. Su Cheng wanted to find another way to talk to Hui Niang, but was even more blocked by Mu Shaoqin.
As for Ouyang Kang, well, he didn't have a chance to speak at all, so he could only look at his family, who was blocked by his father-in-law, and communicate with Qiubo.
What to do?
Ignorance.
He's your father, can't you think of a way?
You also know that he is my father, what can I do with him?
Ouyang Dashao stroked his forehead.
Ninfu shrugged.
Su Cheng and the old lady exchanged a look, the situation was even more difficult than imagined, this old man was too powerful, it was really not a good thing. Why don't you withdraw your troops today and fight again tomorrow?
There is no way, it can only be like this.
I wanted to say goodbye, but Ouyang Kang didn't do it.
(Ah, Guizi must have weekend syndrome, why don't you want to code words?) Squat in the corner of the wall and reflect. However, it's also a good baby who insists on double shifts on weekends, right? Yesterday there was no little pink, so desolate...... (To be continued......)
