396 Suspend the proposal
Xue Jingting said: "Yulan, there are a lot of people who come to propose marriage around the New Year's Festival, and now you have the princess to support, and you have been named the county lord of Jiarou, and your capable reputation has spread, and there are even more people who come to propose marriage." Otherwise, I will ask your mother to pick a good one to set up a family affair for you, and you will not have to enter the palace to serve in the future. ”
Xue Yulan said angrily: "This can't be helped. My daughter just became the county lord, so she was in a hurry to get engaged and not to serve, this spread out, how outsiders looked at me, and it wasn't the princess who made me wronged, but it was the few young ladies who envied me who said a few words of squeezing and coolness, and there were few such words in our family. ”
Xue Jingting smiled and understood the reason, it was just the jealous words said by other escort ladies, it was also an escort, some were named county lords, and some had nothing, and the difference between high and low came out.
"is worthy of being my Xue Jingting's daughter, and being a man must be affectionate and righteous."
Xue Yulan looked shy: "Father and mother told me that before the princess got married, the daughter didn't want to be engaged, and when the princess got married, it was not too late for the daughter to get engaged again." The daughter likes to be the princess's companion, the princess is extraordinary, and with the princess, the daughter has also learned a lot of skills. Even the female celebrity is better than before......"
Mrs. Xue was packing up her things in the back room, and she also heard the awkwardness between Xue Yulan and Zhizhi, and said, "Princess Fengge is twenty years old this year, right?" ”
This is in the homes of ordinary people, how can a girl stay so big, but this is a royal princess, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about marrying no matter how big he wants to stay.
Xue Jingting said: "This kind of thing, the queen mother and the emperor have to worry about, I see that the emperor has no intention of giving Princess Fengge Princess Xu Po's family in the past two years, Xu is going to wait until next year's big exam to discuss, at that time, a few young talents will come out, choose from them, Xu is good." “
Xue Yulan said: "The princess is not out of the pavilion, how can she be engaged as a princess to accompany the study, the princess is a few years older than Yulan, she is not in a hurry, and her daughter is not in a hurry." ”
Mrs. Xue exclaimed: "This can't be done, she is seventeen years old this year." ”
Xue Jingting smiled: "It's out of the way!" ”
Mrs. Xue was so anxious that she put down the silk in her hand and rushed out, "Which family's daughter is still not engaged, do you have to pay a fine to the court every year in the future, you can throw this face, I can't stand it." ”
Xue Yulan seems to be gentle in the palace, but she is stubborn, and she can't listen to anyone's words, so she said unhurriedly: "Anyway, I don't want to be engaged, I will be engaged as soon as I am the county lord, and I will be told that I crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and I don't have this reputation." ”
Together, she ran straight to her boudoir.
Mrs. Xue pointed at her and was about to reprimand, Xue Jingting said in a low voice: "I also had the idea of giving Yulan an engagement this morning, and I deliberately went to Qin Tianjian, and it happened that Yuan Laojian was there, and he whispered to me that Yulan's marriage is late, and it is not easy to discuss marriage today and tomorrow, otherwise it will either be young and unmarried, or the husband and wife will not be harmonious. ”
Mrs. Xue exclaimed, "The year after tomorrow", this is a finger count, "Then you can get twenty?" ”
Xue Jingting said: "I was lucky to meet Yuan Lao Jian Zheng today, and many ministers wanted to ask their children about marriage, and they all asked him, and his words were right." He pulled his wife straight to the inner room.
Xue Yukai followed behind, standing behind the bead curtain, wanting to listen to what his parents said, looking at his father's appearance, it was clear that there were more important words that had not been finished.
Xue Jingting was mysterious, and was looking around, Xu was checking whether there was anyone around, Xue Yukai hid outside the door, listening attentively. "Old Eunuch Yuan is calling me to a secluded place, and specially told me that our Yulan was originally a very noble character and was supported by the lucky immortal star, she was destined to marry into the royal family, and asked us not to discuss her marriage in the past two years, since Yulan wanted to wait for Princess Fengge to come out of the pavilion before discussing, we followed her."
Mrs. Xue was confused, she didn't know much about words, but her husband understood what she meant, "What is the life of the extremely noble character?" He also said that he wanted to marry into the royal family, what do you mean by that? ”
Xue Yukai couldn't hold back, jumped out and said: "The world is extremely expensive, among women, when she is the queen, her mother doesn't even understand this?" ”
Xue Jingting was startled, and stretched out his hand to pull Xue Yukai over, "Don't listen, don't you understand, standing outside and eavesdropping on the elders, you ......"
Xue Yukai said with a straight face: "Dad, my son promises not to say it." ”
Mrs. Xue said suspiciously: "This ...... Is it accurate? ”
Xue Yukai said: "The Yuan family's physiognomy has always been the most effective, in the early years, the Yuan family said that the Empress Dowager Wen had the destiny of the queen of the phoenix, how many people didn't believe it at that time, but it was fulfilled." Later, when the current emperor married Queen Duanyi, the Yuan family said that marriage is a good marriage, but it is difficult. It's hard not to say anything, but later everyone learned that it was difficult to be white-headed, and Queen Duanyi died after being a queen for seven years......"
Xue Jingting said fiercely: "You kid dare to say a word outside, I can't spare you, these things are the most taboo in this palace, if you show a word or two, your sister's life will be difficult to protect." ”
In order to become a queen, some people will get rid of this person who has the queen's life.
Xue Jingting listened to Yuan Laojianzheng's words today, and he was so happy that he couldn't find the north and the south.
If the Xue family can produce a queen, the Xue family can become one of the most prestigious families.
Xue Yukai said: "My son is not the kind of person who is ignorant, and when Empress Dowager Wen said that kind of thing, how much trouble did she cause." Dad rest assured, my son promised not to say anything. ”
Mrs. Xue said solemnly: "I won't say it either." As for Mrs. Lu, I'll reply tomorrow. ”
Xue Jingting said: "Don't reveal Yulan's birthday, this is also what Yuan Laojian has told, he can see it, I'm afraid others can also see it." ”
Xue Yulan was sitting in the boudoir at the moment, she didn't mind the crowd of others, but what could have been avoided happened, and she felt a little unhappy.
Mrs. Xue said: "I went to a few families before the New Year's Festival, because you said that the sons of those families were not successful, I didn't respond, and I didn't give the birthday." ”
"Now that you know, don't prepare for Magnolia's Geng post first. Yukai is young, Yulan is not engaged, don't be busy with his family affairs, let him study hard. The life of the family is also better now, so Yumo quit the account office outside and studied behind closed doors. ”
Mrs. Xue thought about her daughter's service to the girl again, "Zhizhi caused some trouble for her daughter in the palace, and her daughter refused to ask her for anything." Do you want to pick another good one......"
"Isn't the branch bad? When you first bought it, you and your eldest daughter-in-law saw dozens of each other, but you didn't have to worry about it. That's it, that's it, this kind of thing can't be rushed. ”
The husband and wife were talking, and Xue Yumo's voice came from outside: "Mother, it is someone from the Wen Mansion who has sent a post, please and your sister to attend the banquet tomorrow, and the Wen family wants to celebrate Miss Wen's title of Jiahui County Lord." ”
Xue Yulan ran out of the boudoir and took the post from Xue Yumo's hand, "Did Ling Shu give it to me?" ”
Xue Yukai said: "The Wen family has held a celebration banquet, is our family also holding one?" ”
The Xue family's mansion ......
There is not even a garden in the front and back courtyards, where do they hold a celebration banquet and receive guests?
Xue Yulan said: "Or hold a few tables of banquets in Baiweiju or Liufu Building, and my father, elder brother and younger brother invite a few good friends to come and have a lively scene." ”
Xue Yukai knew that his third sister actually had that kind of life, which felt like there was a priceless treasure in his family, "This is the third sister who has won the reward, what kind of friend do we men invite, if I get the Jinshi, then I want to be treated." ”
Xue Jingting reprimanded: "If you don't have to study, then the fame of the Jinshi can only be to paint cakes to satisfy hunger, you are not studying in the academy today, what are you doing when you come back?" ”
"Didn't I hear that the third sister came back today, and I didn't see ...... New Year's Day?"
"Let her make a bowl of egg noodles on the stove, and when she goes back to the academy after eating, the reader will take reading as a career, in order to see your sister, when can't, how can you miss her studies, won't this reading become a child's play."
Xue Yukai saw that his father was angry, and he didn't dare to say a word, and half-hung his head.
Xue Yumo instructed his wife and asked the cook to give Xue Yukai ** egg noodles.
Xue Jingting groaned: "Our yard is a little smaller. ”
Grandma Xue came in from outside and listened to the family discussing the matter of holding a celebration banquet for Xue Yulan, "Father, mother, there is a small way, and the backyard can also be placed with female dependents, so we will do it according to the banquet, it's a big deal that there is no garden to visit, and there are no flowers." There are more than a dozen tables of banquets in the courtyard of this backyard.
Then there is the front yard, there are male guests, my father also has colleagues, friends, Yumo also has a few former classmates in Beijing, and the younger brother's academy also has friends, please come to the house for a meal, and it should be the right to the friendship of friends, everyone knows the situation of our family, it will not be strange.
After all, how much ability there is and how much can be done. Although the place is small, it is enough to make the food better and arrange it more exquisitely. ”
Xue Yulan didn't agree with it, but the family felt that it was a big deal, and Xue Jingting thought that this was the royal family's value to the Xue family, and it must be done, and it must be done in order to show gratitude to the royal family, and it is also grateful, so it must be done, as Xue Da\ grandma said, the family is small, and there is naturally a small way.
This charter was put on the agenda by the Xue family.
Since the Xue family entered Beijing, there has not been a banquet, and now that it is going to be held, it naturally has to be discussed carefully.
Mrs. Xue's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law decided to borrow a few slaves from several families, and in the afternoon, they booked the wine and food to be used, what kind of wine to drink, what kind of dishes to eat, how many banquets to arrange, how many dishes, and so on.
*
The next day, the third room of the Wen family held a celebration banquet for Wen Lingshu to be awarded the title of Jiahui County Lord, and many noblewomen in the capital received invitations.
And on this day, Jiang Ruoning was taking Cuinong and Landi back to the Green Orange Garden.
Mama Bi also went out of the palace for the first time, she came out to marry the two palace E, both of them were engaged, and they also invited Qin Tian to supervise the day, and on the same day they came out of the Qingcheng Garden.
Cuinong's husband is an adjutant in the Imperial Forest Army, and Lan Di's husband is a head of the Northern Army Governor's Mansion, both of whom are around thirty years old. (To be continued.)
