Chapter 22: The Engagement Dress

Song thought for a while: "No, it's just a dragon ball, there are so many rare treasures that are paid tribute every year, and there are many people who are greedy for ink by local officials, why does the emperor bother with a bead?" ”

"Hey, woman's opinion, what do you know? That dragon ball is not an ordinary bead, it is said that it can make the living immortal and bring the dead back to life. ”

"Huh? And this kind of thing? If you really want to do that, won't you become an immortal? ”

"This is just a folk rumor, and the effect may not be so good, but it should have some effect, otherwise the top will not pay so much attention to it."

Song nodded: "That's pretty much the same, I really hope that the three princes can bring down the Hou Mansion, if they don't fall, we won't have a good life, alas!" ”

"What did you do with a sigh? Could it be that you went out today and encountered trouble again? ”

Song glanced back at Linglong, "It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter." ”

"Don't mention the little things, second aunt? I'm going to talk to her about it. ”

Old Man Su walked in excitedly, Song shook his head helplessly, and Linglong leaned over: "Mother, what does the third prince look like?" ”

"It should be noble and heroic, right?"

"Should? Mother, haven't you seen the three princes? ”

"You girl, I'm an ordinary woman, I've been away from the capital for many years, where can I go to see the third prince?"

"Does that mother know how old the third prince is?"

"You were only five years old when we left Beijing, and at that time I heard that the palace held an eight-year-old banquet for the three princes, and your grandmother went to attend, and now the three princes should be eighteen years old!"

Eighteen years old? Still quite young, Linglong thoughtfully, Lingxia leaned over and said with a smile: "Madam, have the three princes married?" If you don't get married, it's better to marry our second sister and ensure that the third prince is managed well. ”

Several people were stunned for a moment, and Song laughed: "You girl, you are not old and still old, how can a family like us climb to the royal family?" If your cousins still have a little possibility, alas, don't mention it! ”

Lingxia chased curiously and asked, "Why?" Isn't my cousin also surnamed Sue? Why is it impossible for us to have a cousin? ”

The third aunt grabbed Lingxia and reprimanded her for a few words, and then explained with kind words: "Silly child, your cousin's father is the eldest son of the Su family, and he is your grandfather's lineage, and your grandfather is a household servant, and his official position is neither too big nor too small, so it is possible." But we are only a side branch of the concubine, and your father's official position is not high, so it is impossible to make a decision. ”

Listening to the third aunt's explanation, Linglong's heart was very blocked for a while, what kind of concubine is out of the house, and the main room is branched? It's really troublesome, it's obviously all a bloodline, a man's seed, I have to separate a relative and alienate the enemy, I knew that there were so many people, why did I know that there were so many people?

Of course, Linglong didn't have greed for the prince, but just thought that if he knew where the third prince was, he would definitely help him, so that he could find out the evidence of the crime of the Marquis of Dingguo, and copy a nest of thieves.

It's a pity that my mother set a marriage date for herself, and she will get married after the New Year, and it is difficult to go out, where to find the third prince?

Master Su originally had hopes for the three princes, but he saw that the New Year was over, but he never saw the three princes appear, and there was no movement from the Hou Mansion, everyone said that the three princes came to Jiangzhou just a rumor, and it was not so easy to bring down the Hou Mansion.

The hope of satisfaction was soaked, and Master Su was disappointed, and he was not in the mood for the New Year.

The Su family has no relatives in Jiangzhou, because they offended the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, and there are few officials who interact with their family, and the Su Mansion is the most deserted during the Chinese New Year this year.

After the tenth day of the first month, the family began to prepare Linglong's family affairs, the last time I prepared once, those dowries or something were carried back by the Hou Mansion and opened the box and sealed it, and it was not taken out, which also saved trouble, and when the time came, it was carried directly and left.

Only the dowry can no longer be used, so unfortunate things are uncomfortable to wear again, and it will definitely be too late to re-embroider, so the Song family decided to make a set for Linglong.

Of course, it is good to make it ordered, the last dowry died because of a set of ugly clothes in a hurry, Linglong strongly asked to choose it himself this time, and it was tailor-made. Although I don't attach much importance to the family affair itself, after all, for most women, they only get married once in a lifetime, who doesn't want to wear a beautiful one? What's more, Linglong also wants to take the opportunity to go out for a walk.

So, on the fifteenth day, Song accompanied Linglong out of the house to order a wedding dress to the embroidery workshop passing by the city.

Because it is a big year, the street is particularly lively today, and Zhihua picks up half of the curtains to see the excitement, and Linglong can also borrow light to see.

The carriage walked slowly for half an hour before arriving at the most famous splendid embroidery workshop in Jiangzhou.

I don't know if it's the reason why everyone went to the New Year, there are not many people in the embroidery workshop, Linglong went in with the Song family, and saw that the huge hall was full of all kinds of color samples, there were ready-to-wear clothes and separate embroidery samples, all kinds of purse handkerchiefs were dazzling, delicate and gorgeous, each with its own characteristics.

Linglong stood by the wall in a novel way and looked at it carefully, Song rarely saw that she was interested in embroidery, and there was no one left and right in the hall, so she asked Zhishu to follow Linglong, and she took other people into it to find the shopkeeper lady.

Linglong looked over next to each other, walked to the side of the purse sample, and was immediately attracted by a purse shaped like a rabbit, she reached out to take it, and there was an inexplicable extra hand next to her, holding the purse at the same time as him.

Linglong turned his head and met the man's eyes, both of them looked surprised, the other party let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Su Er, let's meet again!" ”

Linglong smiled embarrassedly, this person is still dressed in white, his eyebrows are too delicate, and he looks better than a woman.

When Linglong looked at the other party, the other party looked at her without a trace, and said with a smile: "Miss Su Er is completely different from the rumors!" ”

The smile on Linglong's face suddenly froze, and she turned her head and took the purse in her hand: "I'm sorry, I disappointed my son." ”

"It's not disappointing, my son is just wondering, why are there so many rumors against Miss in Jiangzhou?"

"I offended the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, they are the head snakes here, what can I do if they want to harm me like that?"

"Dingguo Marquis Mansion?"

"Yes, I was married to the eldest son of his family, and the eldest prince died before he could worship the hall, and the Hou Mansion wanted to kill me to bury the eldest son, and I escaped by myself, and my father went to them to get out of the marriage, and they have been angry about it."

"Huh? It turns out that the woman who divorced the Hou Mansion is you? ”

"You know that, too?"

"I've heard that Miss's courage is admirable."

Linglong smiled bitterly: "What is there to admire, my reputation is so bad, no one dares to mention marriage again, and I am ridiculed, heroes are not so easy to be." ”

"Really? Will a heroine like Miss II be worried about marrying? ”

"It's okay, my mother just ordered one for me."

"Oh? What is your name? ”

Linglong glanced at him: "When Gongzi first came to Jiangzhou, he didn't know him. ”

"Tell me, maybe you've heard of it?"

Linglong thought about it, she really didn't know the name, and Zhishu said: "Miss, it's called Fang Shiqian." ”

"Fang Shiqian? Are you going to marry Fang Shiqian? ”

"Childe knows this person?"
