Countless possibilities flashed in her mind, joys and sorrows. She knew that the princess was most annoyed by Zhuang Lingjiao's marriage recently, and what she couldn't wait for was her marriage, and she didn't have much hope, and even joked with Bai Zhi that she would solve her fiancΓ©'s life, so that she could enter the door with the tablet and be a widow, which not only had her fame, but also gained freedom.
But she never imagined that there would be a day when she would be so close to that person.
She was afraid that she would misunderstand what Mama Guan meant, so she settled down and said, "I don't know what Mrs. Tai saw me?" β
Guan Mama also felt that this marriage was really pie in the sky for Zhuang Yan, looking at her uninformed and interesting appearance, Fang Cai's seven-point congratulations couldn't help but fade a little, "Naturally, it is for the marriage of Hou Ye, Hou Ye was fighting in the northwest before, and he has not been able to take care of the marriage, and then the old Hou Ye died in battle, and Hou Ye also served filial piety for three years, and finally got out of filial piety, and went to the northwest again, but it was not delayed." Mrs. Tai has seen you at Mrs. Fuyangbo's birthday banquet, and she has always been full of praise, no, it has only been half a month, and she has come to see you! β
Zhuang Yan has lived for more than ten years, and has always been calm and self-controlled, but now he is a little shy. She knows Pei Ze's deeds better than anyone else, and she also knows that Pei Ze's disappearance will be reported to the court in the next two days.
But if it weren't for his stepmother's sinister intentions, and the princess's eagerness to push her out, she wouldn't have fallen into the eyes of the lady like this.
Zhuang Yan's face was even more shy and timid, "Thank you Mama for speaking for me in front of the princess." β
Mama Guan was smoothed out, and her heart was also happy, "Then the girl should go with the old slave, it's not good to make Mrs. Tai wait for a long time." β
Zhuang Yan answered, and followed Mama Guan to Huichun Hall with low eyebrows.
Zhuang Yan seemed calm along the way, but his heart had really turned up huge waves.
There was only one thing she was struggling with: whether she should seize this opportunity or not. Opportunities are hard-won and fleeting, and it is a good thing to be able to marry a life-saving benefactor who you have been grateful for for a long time; But on the other hand, she knows very well that the daughters and beauties of the wealthy families in Beijing abound, which can be called a hundred flowers, if it weren't for his stepmother's decision to cut him first and then set him a family affair to do outside and inside, I'm afraid this kind of thing will definitely not be her turn; Moreover, his family affairs have been pending in the past few years, not because he is too high to make up his mind easily. In this case, what will be the good result if you insist on marrying the past?
But there is another voice in his heart that tells Zhuang Yan, even if it's not you, it will be someone else, according to his temperament that would rather lack than abuse, even if Mrs. Jingyuan Houtai has set a family affair for him, he can regret his marriage in a blink of an eye, but he will end up offending people. In addition to his uncle's family who can help him in the court, he only has a friend of Yanmo, and his brother is still stubborn, only dragging his feet, he is already in such an isolated and helpless realm, rather than letting him offend others, it is better to set himself, even if he regrets his marriage, he will try his best to persuade Uncle Seven not to embarrass him.
From this point of view, Zhuang Yan felt that he might not necessarily act according to his stepmother's wishes anyway, it was better to make this shield himself to help him block his stepmother's calculations. After he returned to Beijing, she told him directly and asked him to withdraw from the marriage, so that he could choose a good woman according to his original intentions......
Thinking of this, Zhuang Yan didn't feel pantothenic acid in his heart.
No, no, he's a benefactor, you can't think too much, you can't think too much......
After forcibly calming down, Zhuang Yan had already arrived at Huichun Hall.
Mama Guan had already led Zhuang Yan in with a smile, and said, "Let Madame wait for a long time, our girl has a thin face, so she came slowly." β
The princess smiled with satisfaction.
Zhuang Yan made up his mind to promote this marriage, and also understood that Mrs. Jingyuan just wanted to find a daughter-in-law who was high enough and easy to handle, so he naturally spared no effort to cater to her. So, she behaved more timid and dull than before, and when she came to the two ladies, she did not dare to raise her head and speak, let alone flatterers.
Seeing her timid appearance, the princess also quipped: "Our sister Yan has been honest since she was a child, and her heart couldn't be simpler. β
Mrs. Jingyuan waited for Mrs. Jing to agree, if she was not an honest person,!! How could he be sent to Zhuangzi outside Beijing at a young age, and it was ten years away, and he was completely forgotten by the palace. Now looking at the temperament, I know that I have been tortured by my mothers outside.
"I think it's very good, you also know that Fang Ji has been fighting outside, and he doesn't touch his family all year round, so he sent such a dignified and virtuous person to take care of the housework for him." He smiled at the princess as he spoke.
The princess understands that the generals and men who are fighting outside crawl out of the pile, the sword is eyeless, the border is lonely, and most of them prefer fresh and bright women, Zhuang Yan is so dull and stereotyped that she can't please her husband. This responds to the princess's thoughts, she wants to find Zhuang Yan a high enough status to be able to block the prince's mouth and carry the palace, but she can't really let Zhuang Yan marry and enjoy the blessings, like Pei Ze, the stepmother is harsh, Zhuang Yan has to be angry when she marries in the past, and the husband doesn't hurt, so she won't easily give her the master, and when the time comes, she will stuff two beautiful maids with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and I'm afraid that Pei Ze won't recognize the Yue family in the palace?
With a sister-in-law like Pei Ze, her sister-in-law's marriage will go smoother!
Mrs. Jing Yuanhou saw that the princess also looked approving, and said: "Last time, it was not easy to speak in front of my mother, but now that I have come to your house, I will tell the truth, I am familiar with your eldest girl at first sight, and she looks like a flower, I can't wait for her to be with me every day, it just so happens that Fang Ji is also old, so I want to ask the princess, can you cut your love to my family?" β
Sure enough, it's a rectum! Whoever comes to the door to ask for relatives, it will get straight to the point in less than two or three sentences! The princess was slandered, she was still a little hesitant, she didn't want to marry Zhuang Yan to such a high family in Houfu, but looking at this lady's style, the princess was much more relieved.
Now she is bent on getting Zhuang Yan out, and she didn't expect to make a face for Zhuang Yan at all, so she excused herself, so she agreed in one breath: "What's wrong with this, it's rare that you like her so much, I'm just afraid that she is a clumsy person, and you have to train and train herself!" β
Just marry her off, if she doesn't have rules in her mother-in-law's house, or if she can't stand her mother-in-law's suffering, it's not her mother-in-law's care.
Mrs. Jing Yuanhou smiled and narrowed her eyes, and heard that the prince of Jin was a bastard, for fear that he would oppose him, so she thought about striking while the iron was hot, and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I brought the emerald wrench of the Hou family, so I should set Sister Yan's meeting gift." β
The princess said secretly, sure enough, she was a person who did not play cards according to etiquette, but she didn't have the heart to make a face for Zhuang Yan, and she also hoped that this marriage would not be settled in a bad way, so she took the jade wrench and asked Mama Guan to hand it to Zhuang Yan, and said: "This is given to you by Mrs. Pei, but you have to keep it well." β
Zhuang Yan's voice was like a mosquito humming, "Yes, my daughter will take good care of it." β
I didn't even say a beautiful word, I was really stuffy! ruined her good looks in vain! Mrs. Jingyuan thought to herself.
The princess turned to Mrs. Jingyuan and smiled, "In that case, I asked Liu Zhi to take Sister Yan's birthday, and Mrs. will come back to make a decision, and then we will really be in-laws." β
