103 Proposals
The corners of Mrs. Ding's mouth twitched, "This is natural." β
Zhu Bi never understood why the old lady made this decision!
Why didn't my mother stop arguing, and letting Mrs. Ding help would only hurt her!
At this time, Steward Li asked, "What should Mrs. Ding do?" β
Mrs. Ding smiled: "It's very simple, burn a nest of porridge and distribute it to the homeless people outside, and the most important thing is that Changle has to distribute it in person, don't find someone to mix in the team and let him pass the word, as for the words, how to say it, the old lady has to nod." β
Steward Li didn't expect Mrs. Ding's export to be a plan, and this plan was very feasible.
Mrs. Ding said: "Let's just say that the daughter of King Pei is flawless, the bodhisattva is hearty, and she is kind and charitable." β
The old lady nodded, and said lightly to Changle: "Can you be worthy of these words?" β
Zhu Bi said curtly: "The granddaughter is all arranged by the old lady. β
The old lady turned back to Li Bu and said, "Do what Mrs. Ding does." β
Sure enough, at the door in the morning, Zhu Bi put on a simple kudzu robe and gave porridge to the homeless people in the queue, and there was a person in the team who was trying his best to praise the concubine of King Pei to everyone.
What those people saw and heard was completely different from the rumors, and they all felt guilty, and they spontaneously felt grateful to Zhu Bi.
After receiving the porridge, the homeless people sang the praises of Zhu Bi's virtues.
The words of the informant caught in the midst of the homeless people spread ten, ten, and hundreds.
In less than half a day, Zhu Bi's reputation spread on the street, and the previous songs were forgotten.
After Mrs. Ding returned to Huajiao Courtyard, she was so angry that she dropped the tea bowl.
The plan she set up was originally to let Zhu Bi die, but unfortunately the old lady was still reluctant to let her granddaughter die, and finally had to wipe her ass by herself!
It's good now, and he even has to help the murderer of his son sing praises.
Aunt Bai persuaded on the side: "The master is angry, the master has done this well, and the old lady will be grateful to you from the bottom of her heart in the future, and it is certain that the steward will be handed over to the master." β
After thinking about it, Mrs. Ding finally had to give up.
On this day, Ming's brought a gift to propose, Ming's yesterday heard that his nephew intended to marry Zhu Xuan as his wife, but he had no choice but couldn't do anything, so he prepared eight gift boxes today.
I don't want to hear on the street that there are people everywhere spreading the good deeds of the owner of Changle Pavilion.
I felt more and more regretful in my heart, why did my nephew have to marry a concubine?
The beginning of summer has just arrived, and the sun is lively, but it is not so hot, just like Ming's mood.
Outside the gate of the palace, a group of people sang the praises of the concubine of Prince Pei.
Ming's sitting in the carriage, his mood was like an overturned five-flavor bottle, and he was still muttering unwillingly, why didn't he mention his daughter Zhu Bi to Prince Pei?
Ming's just arrived at the door of the mansion to deliver the invitation, Steward Li saw that there were eight red gift boxes lined up behind her, and he was pleasantly surprised, it was Uncle Ming who came to ask for a kiss at night!
Steward Li hurriedly invited the Ming family to Zhengde Hall.
Zhu Bi, who was giving porridge, was shocked when she heard the little girl Dong Tao report Mrs. Ming's coming, and Master Ming came to ask for marriage so soon.
It stands to reason that the old lady and her mother will let her marry first.
Being able to marry Uncle Ming naturally made Zhu Bi so excited that he couldn't sleep.
However, yesterday Uncle Ming held Zhu Yue at night and kissed her.
She has always had a problem in her heart about this matter, but she didn't dare to complain in front of the old lady.
Zhu Bi threw down the porridge spoon, turned around and entered the mansion, and quietly asked Xiang Dongtao: "Uncle Ming is here at night?" β
"No, only Ming Gongzi's aunt, who came in from the front gate, carried eight large gift boxes, and is now sitting in Zhengde Hall, it can be seen how important this matter is, Steward Li has gone to invite the old lady. The slave felt that the pavilion master should be concerned about this matter, so she specially told the pavilion owner about you. β
"Reward." Zhu Bi hurriedly walked forward, saw Xia Tao again, stepped forward and slapped her, and said, "Why don't you return such a big thing?" β
Xia Tao was confused, and said aggrievedly: "Pavilion master, Ming Gongzi is asking to marry that concubine, and the slave maid is afraid to say it, and the pavilion owner is sad." β
Zhu Bi snorted and walked away, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Does that concubine know?" β
Xia Tao and Dong Tao shook their heads and said, "That maid didn't know that Mrs. Ming was here. β
"Remember, don't let her know." Zhu Bi ordered.
As he spoke, he went to the Zhengde Hall again, wanting to listen to what the adults in the hall had to say first.
She is the sixth daughter of Prince Pei, and the old lady and mother will never ignore her face and refer to the concubine first.
What's more, the concubine is not worthy of the word "marry" at all.
Marrying a wife is a matter for concubines, and concubines are at most a noble concubine.
Uncle Ming wanted to cross her and marry Zhu Yue first, but there was no door!
Zhu Bi quietly crouched in the corner of the wall outside the door of Zhengde Hall, listening with his ears.
The old lady had heard the report and went to Zhengde Hall.
Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Ding were the accompanying guests.
Several people were puzzled about which girl Mrs. Ming would ask to marry today.
According to the ranking, it should be the sixth Zhu Bi, but Uncle Ming seems to be more interested in Zhu Xuan.
Mrs. Ding made a bet in her heart that it was the Seventh Girl who asked to marry.
Mrs. Naming was sitting precariously, waiting for the old lady to arrive.
As soon as the old lady stepped into the main hall, she saw a row of festive gift boxes, which were placed in eight gift boxes according to the customs of the county, and the refreshments had their own rules.
Ming got up without saying a word, his old face turned red first, and he bowed to the old lady.
The old lady sat on the couch at the head of the north surrounded by everyone, beckoned her to sit down, and said with a smile: "I don't know who I am asking for today?" β
The Ming family salivated at the old face and said with a smile: "Old Mrs. Du, today the Ming family is asking for the marriage of my nephew Uncle Ming. β
As soon as the words fell, everyone's hearts were excited.
Uncle Ming, a famous man in the world, came to the palace at night to ask for marriage.
No matter who you marry, it is a great blessing for the palace!
Zhao Ming Shuye is the son-in-law, and the lintel of the palace is bright.
Uncle Ming and Pei Wangfu married, no one is worse than the other, if you have to be more serious, Ming Shuye can ask to marry the girl of Pei Wangfu, it is the glory of Pei Wang!
In this era, celebrities and gentlemen are highly respected, so the old lady was in a happy mood when she heard it, and she was rarely happy, and laughed: "Good! Good! Your nephew has finally spoken. β
"Yes, it's really rare, the famous scholar Ming Gongzi finally couldn't resist the marriage customs, so Mrs. Ming came to ask for marriage." Mrs. Ding echoed on the side, happy for Zhu Yu from the bottom of her heart.
Mrs. Guo also said happily: "Old lady, this is a great event, if Changle knows it, she will be happy for several days." β
Mrs. Guo felt that Ming's marriage proposal was naturally Changle.
According to customs and rules, the eldest daughter marries first, and then the second daughter takes her turn.
Zhu Bi's marriage has not been decided, so of course he will marry first.
When Ming heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly corrected: "Old lady, ladies, according to common sense, Prince Pei will marry his eldest daughter first, but what my nephew is asking forβ"
Speaking of this, Ming deliberately paused and told everyone to be mentally prepared.
Mrs. Ding looked at Mrs. Guo with a smile and her face sank.
The old lady doesn't have anything, as long as Uncle Ming can be his son-in-law.
Ming politely got up and said, "My nephew, I am asking for Mrs. Guo's second daughter, the seventh girl, and I hope that Mrs. Du will generously give her a marriage." β
"What?" Mrs. Guo got up from the couch, stared at the Ming family incredulously, and said angrily: "The eldest daughter is not married, how can she marry the second daughter!" Mrs. Ming, you are joking, you came to ask for marriage, according to the rules of the palace, you should refer to the eldest daughter of the marriage, does the Ming family still think that the eldest daughter of Prince Pei is not worthy of your nephew? β
Mrs. Guo was fierce and aggressive.
Ming's face was embarrassed, and she said from the bottom of her heart, why didn't she want to ask to marry her eldest daughter.
Only the eldest daughter has great benefits to the Ming clan.
Only when he asks to marry his eldest daughter, Zhu Wei, the son of Prince Pei and Prince Pei, will promote his own son Mingxi.
The Ming family wanted to take advantage of the marriage between his nephew and Prince Pei to pave the way for his son Mingxi in the officialdom.
Because according to the rules of Daqi, the princess's concubine has no officialdom future, but there is no restriction on the career economy of the people in the clan where the concubine is located, so although the princess is a hot potato, it is also fragrant.
It just so happens that Uncle Ming has no intention of pursuing the career economy, and Ming likes to drill into officialdom.
Uncle Ming's marriage with King Pei's Mansion is very beneficial to Mingxi.
Ming's dream is that Uncle Ming is begging to marry his eldest daughter at night.
At first glance, when I heard that it was the concubine Zhu Xuan who Uncle Ming proposed to marry at night, I thought I had heard it wrong, and I also reminded him that Zhu Xuan was a concubine and the second daughter, and according to the customs and rules, it would not be Zhu Xuan's turn.
The nephew said: "The rules of the world are set by people, and Mrs. Du will not lose this family business because of the rules." β
The nephew is full of confidence and has no room for negotiation.
Ming was familiar with his temper and knew that he couldn't disobey, so he had no choice but to follow him.
Ming looked at Mrs. Guo's muscles and said unjustly: "Mrs. Major, I'm really sorry for this matter, but-"
Mrs. Guo scolded: "Parents should be the master of marriage matters, how can children play and make a private decision for life!" β
Ming said embarrassedly: "Big lady, how can this be a private life?" Today, I am marrying my nephew to the house and marrying seven girls. β
Mrs. Guo glared at her, turned to the old lady and said, "Changle is the eldest daughter, first refer to marrying Changle, what do you think, old lady?" β
Ming's heart chuckled, and he looked at the old lady embarrassedly.
Without waiting for the old lady to speak, Mrs. Ding next to her couldn't help laughing: "Mrs. Guo, others admire the Seventh Girl, you actually use Changle Li as a substitute for Taojiang, and you don't know that Changle is like no one wants it, Changle is the eldest daughter, what kind of person can't find it, and you have to fight with the Seventh Girl?" β
"You-" Mrs. Guo's face turned purple with anger, "What did you say, the young and the old are orderly, and the grandchildren are different, don't you know?" β
Mrs. Ding said: "If Mrs. wants Changle to marry first, you can ask the prince to choose a son-in-law on the same day." Uncle Ming said that it was the seventh girl who was asking to marry, how could you catch the ducks on the shelves and pretend to be Changle. β
Mrs. Guo said angrily: "What is pretending, Changle is the eldest daughter of a dignified concubine, why do you want to pretend to be a concubine?" β
Mrs. Ding was about to argue, but the old lady interrupted their dispute in annoyance, waved her hand and said, "Don't quarrel, let Changle let it go in advance." Outsiders are here, you give me a quiet moment. β
Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Ding stopped talking.
Seeing this situation, the Ming family felt even more ugly, and said in a soothing tone: "The eldest lady is angry, we are too anxious about this matter, and we should wait for the master of Changle Pavilion to marry first, and then come to ask for marriage." β
Mrs. Guo's eyes were white, "The marriage event is the order of the parents, the words of the marriage contract, if the Ming family insists on asking for marriage, the master of Changle Pavilion will marry first, you can do it yourself." β
As he spoke, he threw off his sleeves and sat aside angrily, ignoring her.
Ming embarrassedly wiped the fine sweat oozing from his forehead, looked at the old lady, and saw what the old lady said.
The old lady glanced at Mrs. Guo helplessly, and then at Ming.
The granddaughter is infatuated with the son of the Ming family, if she dares to cross the granddaughter to marry the second daughter first, Zhu Bi will not be able to think about it.
"This matterβ" The old lady was thinking of an expedient measure, when someone outside suddenly screamed, "Help! Come on! β
Mrs. Guo was startled, and the voice was like Changle's personal maid Xia Tao shouting......
After a while, a maid goddess ran in in a panic and said, "Old lady, madam, the lord of the pavilion is injured. β
"What?" Mrs. Guo was taken aback, her eyes full of pity.
The old lady also said anxiously: "What's the matter? β
The maid hurriedly said: "The slave maid doesn't know, when the owner of the pavilion just came out of Zhengde Hall, he went to the courtyard of the seventh girl, and later heard Xia Tao say that the seventh girl instructed someone to push the pavilion master, and then the pavilion master hit the Ding furnace, and the forehead was bleeding. β
How did you get together with Zhu Yu again!
The old lady's eyebrows frowned slightly, and Mrs. Guo's eyebrows had exploded, and she said angrily: "Quickly ask the imperial doctor." β
said that he hurriedly walked out of Zhengde Hall, and he didn't care about Ming's.
The old lady sighed and said, "Mrs. Ming, we will accept this gift." I'll hear back to you in three days. β
Ming thanked him happily before leaving.
"This Pei Wangye's seven daughters are really fierce, madam, I heard that she is still a concubine, and she dares to bully her concubine." One of the mother-in-law of the Ming family sighed.
The other also chimed in: "Yes, how could our son fall in love with a concubine!" I listened to Mrs. Guo's tone, and it seemed that I really wanted to marry my daughter-in-law to my son-in-law. β
Ming sighed and didn't say anything more.
When the group left, they saw Dr. Hua hurrying over with a medicine box on his back.
Hokryoin Temple
Zhu Bi was lying on the ground, bleeding from his forehead, and Xia Tao took a handkerchief with tears to stop the bleeding.
Zhu Yue looked at this scoundrel and sat calmly aside.
What trick is this little woman playing? I have to bump into myself and play this bitter trick!
Zhu Xuan stared at her bleeding forehead without fear.
Thinking back to what happened to Fang Cai.
When Zhu Bi came in from outside, she couldn't help but say that she was going to beat her, she fought back, and the two argued, and they heard Zhu Bi scolding again and again.
It took her a long time to understand that she had robbed something she loved.
Just as they were pushing each other, the maidservants Lang Yue and Yuuka came over to pull the fight, and then Xia Tao and Dong Tao also joined in.
When there was chaos, I don't know who stumbled and bumped into the copper tripod.
"Ahh There was a scream, and everyone stopped
She saw the owner of the Changle Pavilion lying on the ground, bleeding from her forehead, and frightened several maids to look for medicine and a handkerchief to stop the bleeding for the pavilion owner.
"You concubine, you want to murder me!" At this moment, the master of Changle Pavilion saw that she was indifferent, and angrily took a handkerchief to stop the blood on her forehead.
When he saw the blood sliding down his fingertips, Zhu Bi went limp, scared and angry.
Zhu Xuan's face did not change, she did not distinguish, and stepped forward to help her with Yukyu.
Zhu Bi pushed it away and scolded: "Don't pretend! Get lost! β
Yuuka was pushed down by her, and Lang Yue was busy supporting Yuuka behind her, protecting: "Is my sister okay?" (To be continued.) )
