Chapter 20 The mother and daughter of the Chu family

As for how to negotiate with Washington, it was not in Di Lian's consideration, she didn't care about the process, she just waited quietly for the result.

After coming out of the 'diners' and saying goodbye to Yun Shili, Tilian took a carriage to the Rongguo Mansion.

Since her grandfather Xie Xunke died of illness, she has been working hard to go to Xie's house.

As soon as the outsiders saw the carriage with a blue top and purple satin, they knew that it was their own lady, and hurriedly removed the door rail of the west door, and the carriage drove straight into the mansion and stopped in the front yard.

Tillian got out of the car, stepped on the corridor, and went to the backyard 'Rongshouju'.

Mrs. Xie is now staying at home, although she looks good at all, but the soup and medicine continue all day long, and the strong smell of medicine in the house is inexhaustible.

As soon as Tilian entered the door, she had not yet bypassed the screen, and she heard Mrs. Xie smile and say, "It just so happened that I would introduce you to a little sister." ”

Tillian chuckled softly, and as she stepped through the screen and appeared in the room, she said in a coquettish voice, "Let me see which little sister is that makes my grandmother so eager to show off to me." ”

On the soft couch in the house, Mrs. Xie sat on the left side in purple clothes, and her eldest aunt and second aunt also accompanied her; A lady on the right with a cinnamon brocade dress with dignified eyebrows, looking at it is nearly forty years, not like the housewife of those famous nobles in the capital, this is obviously not crazy and maintains herself, but her dignified and luxurious temperament is self-contained, which makes people dare not underestimate it.

On the chair under the lady, there was a beautiful girl in a blue skirt and a cigarette yarn, looking about sixteen or seventeen years old, her eyebrows were four points similar to that of the lady, and her eyebrows were bent and her apricot eyes were small, and she was a delicate smoke.

She was looking at the two of them, and they were looking at her.

Mrs. Xie smiled helplessly and pointed at Di Lian, and smiled with the lady, "This girl is what I told you about, and I praised it for a while, but when she came, she leaked her original form, and she didn't have the elegance and reserve of a noble girl." ”

The moon eyes blinked, and Tillian grinned, "It's rare that my grandmother would praise me." He curtsied and said to the two, "Tillian has seen Madame, and she has seen this young lady. ”

The girl covered her lips and smiled when she heard this, showing her delicate and elegant.

Mrs. Xie glared, "Don't sit down yet, just mess around and let the aunt of the Chu family see the joke." ”

Since the surname is Chu, it must be the family of the Marquis of Jinxiang, and Di Lian has already understood the identity of the two.

Dai raised her eyebrows, Tillian wrinkled her nose arrogantly, and sat in the chair under Mrs. Xie.

At this time, Mrs. Chu, who had been looking at her with a smile, said, "I have heard that Zuo Xiang's daughter has unparalleled appearance and natural temperament, and when I saw it today, I really looked elegant and outstanding, but this temperament is the best match for the third son." ”

Mrs. Xie smiled and waved her hand, "Don't mention it, if you put the two of them together, my head hurts even more." ", looked at Tillian with disgust, "Playing small, she and Zixu are one can cause trouble after the other." ”

Hearing this, Tilian dismissed unconvinced, "When did Lian'er get into trouble, I remember when I was young, my grandmother always praised Lian'er for being active and smart, but now it's changed?" ”

Mrs. Xie glared, and Su Shi hurriedly smiled, "My good Lian'er, there are guests here today, so you can't restrain a little." ”

Mrs. Xie snorted as if angry, "Look, now others can't say a word, they can only talk back." ”

Di Lian frowned aggrievedly when she heard this, looked at Mrs. Xie and said softly, "Now that there is a young lady of the Chu family who pleases her grandmother, Lian'er is not good in the eyes of her grandmother." ”

Seeing her behaving well, Mrs. Xie couldn't cry or laugh, and said helplessly, "That's it, don't make trouble." ”

Tillian smiled obediently and sat upright without saying anything.

Mrs. Chu watched for a long time, and then said, "In the past, I always thought about the virtuous and virtuous lady who raised Ying'er, but now that I see Miss Tilian, I feel envious in my heart. ”

Hearing this, Bai Shi smiled and said, "Mrs. Chu, don't say that, Lian'er can't stand the praise." ”

Su Shi bowed his head and echoed, "Miss Chu has an elegant and gentle demeanor, and a beautiful appearance, she is a beautiful lady from various famous families, and I don't know how to envy it." ”

Mrs. Xie also glanced at Di Lian with a smile, "Yes, this girl, except for a bastard like Zixu, who dares to ask for it?" ”

Tillian didn't care when she heard this, and said with her chin high, "Whether you want to or not and whether you dare or not are two levels, what my grandmother said is right, who, dare, want?" I'll go and ask Ming'er, if anyone dares, I bet that Zixu will smash the faΓ§ade of his house the next day. ”

"You girl, you're really not ashamed!" , Su Shi scolded with a smile, reached out and slapped her.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, but they heard a clear laugh outside the door, and pretended to be annoyed with helplessness, "You still dare to ask?" Do you want me to smash the faΓ§ade of the entire capital? ”

This laughable response, who can come from, there is a very tacit understanding with Tillian in this world, except for Xie Hengxu.

Seeing the two figures behind the screen, Di Lian and Chu Ying got up one after another, Xie Hengxu was one step behind Xie Hengyuan, and when he came in, he went straight to Di Lian's figure, and a smile flashed a trace of helplessness on Can's face.

The two stepped forward to salute several elders, and Mrs. Xie waved everyone to sit down, only then did she look at Xie Hengyuan and ask gently.

"Your two brothers came together, but something?"

Xie Hengyuan's cold and hard handsome face was still not smiling, and when he was put together with Xie Hengxu, who was always smiling like the rising sun beside him, no one was surprised that the two were actually brothers with the same father and mother.

"Coming from the study, my father said that today His Majesty mentioned the marriage with the Starfall Dynasty, because last time it was the sixth princess of the Starfall who got married, the Starfall Dynasty proposed to marry the noble daughter of Xia Lan for the second prince."

The two unmarried princesses of the royal family of the Xia Lan Dynasty are only seven or eight years old, and if they are married, they will choose the appropriate age nobles among the major nobles, and the princess will be enshrined in the royal jade, honoring the family, but pitying the woman.

Mrs. Chu was taken aback, and then sighed, "This is the reason why this year's Queen Mother's birthday banquet announced that all the ladies who were not worthy of the marquis were invited to enter the palace?" For a while, the mother and daughter changed their faces.

The moon eyes blinked, and Tillian realized, I see, I am afraid that many people think that the old queen who likes to be a matchmaker wants to take the opportunity to order the mandarin duck spectrum, who knows that this mandarin duck spectrum is outside, but it is inevitable to choose someone to kiss.

Mrs. Xie glanced at Di Lian, looking at the capital, talking about her background, Di Lian is the only granddaughter of the Xie clan for a hundred years, and she is also the daughter of the left prime minister who leans towards the government and the opposition, who else can compare with her, and she can't help but secretly rejoice in her heart, the royal family is to take other people's daughters again, and they will not start with their relatives.

Everyone comforted Mrs. Chu one after another, but no matter what she said at the moment, it was not enough to make people feel relieved.

Since coming out of 'Rongshouju', Xie Hengxu sent Tilian back to his house, and only after getting into the carriage did he speak in a low voice.

"I'm most afraid that someone is taking this opportunity to make another move, and there are pros and cons to this matter."

Tilian sneered, looking at the swaying car curtain and was distracted, "The huge country and the society have always put such a burden on weak women, great merit is a man's honor, and the family and country are not prosperous, and it is always a woman who sacrifices in the end." ”

The phoenix's eyes were low and soft, and Xie Hengxu held her hand, "You are really not used to being sad like this." ”

Tillian smiled lightly and then asked him, "When will the Starfall envoy arrive?" ”

"Before the Queen Mother's Qianqiu banquet, it was only five or six days."

"Five or six days." , Tillian muttered, "It seems that the marriage letter was submitted after the departure from Starfall, and Bao Buqi is now in the capital, and this second prince is quite scheming." ”

"Even if it's a marriage, you have to pick the one you're satisfied with." , Xie Hengxu's phoenix eyes smiled, and then said, "Don't go out recently, you won't be looked down upon." ”

Tillian laughed when she heard this, and gave him a blank look, "That's good, see if you dare to smash his faΓ§ade." ”

"Him?" , Xie Hengxu looked unimpressed, "Don't say which faΓ§ade in this capital I don't dare to smash, even if he is far away in Starfall, I will not smash it." ”

With a flip of her hand, Tilian pinched his palm fiercely, "You are amazing, but I am a woman who swaggers everywhere?" ”

His eyebrows were frowning, Xie Hengxu didn't dare to move, let her pinch it, hissing in his mouth, "You are guilty of it, you have a cat and dog with no eyes, I can't be strictly guarded, how can I protect you if I am not powerful." ”

As soon as her fingers loosened, Di Lian withdrew her hand and glanced at him, "General Xie's eloquence, I don't have much to say." ”

Rubbing the palm of his right hand, Xie Hengxu leaned over with a hippie smile, "Don't dare to show off in front of Lian'er, I'm ashamed." ”

The moon's eyes were crooked, and Tilian slapped him on the face and pushed him away, smiling and smiling, "I think I didn't coax girls to be happy when I was young." ”

Smile stiffened, Xie Hengxu sighed helplessly, held Di Lian with both hands, and looked pious and sincere, "I said last time that I wouldn't mention the past, if Lian'er still can't let go, can I return to Namelin Station for one night?" ”

Last time, he was punished to stand under the old plum tree until he went down the mountain in the early morning, but it was Tilian who said casually, where did the sun come from on such a snowy day, but this fool had always listened to her, and he actually stood stupidly for a few hours before returning to the city after dark.

When he found the prime minister's mansion that night, Tillian was really surprised, but when she saw that his face was so blue from the cold, she couldn't help but be angry and funny, and she was finally moved by him again.

Su Rong smiled, and Tillian withdrew her hand, "Sit back." ”

Xie Hengxu turned a deaf ear, smiled brightly, but got up and sat down next to her, "Just this way, when you return home, I can't get close even if I want to." ”

Tilian looked at him with a smile and a smile, "Xie Hengxu, your face is really as thick as the Beiguan City Wall now. ”

With a smile on her face and didn't care, Xie Hengxu hugged her, looking at the beautiful woman in her arms, the bright light in her phoenix eyes was slightly soft.

"Two months from now, it will be the fourteenth birthday, if you have any wishes, tell me."

Leaning over his broad chest, Tillian raised her eyes and looked at him without blinking, "Anything?" ”

Looking at her clear and bright eyes, Xie Hengxu smiled and nodded, "Whatever you say, I will do it for you." ”

The purse lips could not hide the upward arc, and Tillian looked sideways away from his gaze and whispered.

Raising his eyebrows, Xie Hengxu lowered his ears, "What?" ”

Raising her hand around his neck, Tillian also leaned into his ear and whispered, "Xiaojing drew eyebrows." ”

The phoenix's eyes were stunned, and Xie Hengxu's arms tightened, "Is there anything else?" ”

Di Lian smiled, "Next year, I want to be crowned." ”
