Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Marriage Contract

In the entire Xijing City, there are three little ladies who have attracted the most attention.

The first is the lord of Shuanglian County, who was born noble, his father is the prince of Yu under one person, and his maternal grandfather is Guan Shuqiu, the governor of Jiangzhou. However, the county lord of Frost Mercy is twenty-eight years old this year, and he has not yet found a suitable relative. Either people think that Shuang Lian is too stubborn, or Shuang Pi is a suspicious family, uh, not tall enough, not manly enough, not innocent enough, not resolute enough, and not fashionable enough in dressing...... In short, if the frost county lord wants to dislike it, he can always come up with a reason to dislike it. Therefore, the family affairs of the county lord of Shuang Pian have become a concern for the entire Xijing City.

The second is the second lady of the Qiu family, Miss Qiu Er has a little relationship with the lord of Shuang Lian, four years ago, Miss Qiu Er was designated as the side concubine of the elder brother of the county lord of Shuang Lian, and I don't know what kind of wind the little prince smoked, procrastinating until now, Miss Qiu Er is seventeen years old, and she has not married anyone.

The third is Xu Qijin, the second lady of the Xu family, although she is the eldest daughter of a widow, but she has the bragging of the lord of the frost all day long, and the entire Xijing City knows that the second miss of the Xu family is knowledgeable, talented, and beautiful, and the entire Xijing City simply can't find a little lady who is more suitable for snatching back as a daughter-in-law than her.

It's not that everyone believes in the words of the county lord of Shuang Pian, but in fact, there are so many dowry shops under Miss Xu Er's name that no matter how high a person knows, he can't help but be tempted! Besides, Miss Xu Er is the companion of the county lord again, as long as she doesn't mention who the county lord is, she will have a light on her face when she says it!

As a result, not long ago, Xu Tingyuan, the fourth master of Xu, didn't know if he had a bad brain or what, he actually agreed to a proposal from a businessman's family! The family's surname is Yi, and they are engaged in the medicinal materials business in Jiangzhou, which can be regarded as a big business. But no matter how big the family is, in the final analysis, it is just a businessman's family. In everyone's opinion, Xu Tingyuan's promise to this family affair is simply pushing his daughter into the fire pit!

Everyone felt sorry in their hearts, even if Miss Xu Er was married, with those dowry shops, she might not be able to live a good life. On the contrary, it is a businessman's family like the Yi family, with gold and silver mountains at home, how can he look down on Miss Xu Er because of a few shops? If the eldest young master of the Yi family is a person with no conscience, wouldn't Miss Xu Er jump into the fire pit when she gets married!

What the? With the support of the Xu family? Miss Xu Er was married to the son of a businessman, and she was not welcomed in the Xu family!

The sun is scorching, and the disturbing sound of cicadas is hidden in the leafy branches to make people upset, that is, the lotus leaves raised in the water are a little hot, at this hour, no one wants to bask in the sun outside and suffer.

However, the Lanzhi Courtyard in the Xu Mansion was extremely quiet, and the little maid who had already had a good spirit took a long bamboo pole and stuck away the cicadas. It was too hot, except for the maids on duty beside the master, Mama Gui gave them a holiday. At this moment, the people of Lan Zhi Courtyard are either sitting under the rockery by the lake to hide and cool off, or they are taking a nap in their rooms.

Princess Pingtai took Xu Qirong to copy scriptures in the study, sandalwood curled, and a Ru kiln large-flower porcelain vase with ice cubes was placed in the corner of the wall, which was not only not hot, but cool.

Xu Qirong couldn't calm down, so he simply put the pen in his hand aside, raised his feet and was about to go out.

Princess Pingtai coughed lightly, stopped people, and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Xu Qirong frowned and gestured, going to ask his father for clarification. When I looked up, I saw that Gong Pingtai was about to open his mouth to block it, and he hurriedly gestured again, this time you are blocking it, and I have to go.

Princess Pingtai sighed and said, "Where is your father going to agree to this family business, it's Sister Jin herself who wants to agree." What's the use of you looking for your daddy? ”

Xu Qirong obviously didn't believe it, and gestured, my sister is not at home, how could it be that my sister agreed to this family affair by herself!

Princess Pingtai's expression became a little strange, beckoned, let Xu Qirong come closer to her, stretched out her hand and rubbed Xu Qirong's face, and said seriously: "You sisters don't make ghosts in front of me, don't think that I don't know that Sister Jin has gone out to talk about business at least eight times in Jiangzhou this year!" ”

Jiangzhou! Xu Qirong's expression flashed, she just heard the news when she patronized the word Shangjia, but she didn't notice that the Yi family was in the medicinal herb business in Jiangzhou!

In the past two years, Gao Bo's ability to do business has been perfectly revealed, and the dowry shops under Xu Qijin's name have been opened one after another, and now, there are twelve shops operating different businesses! A year ago, Xu Qijin was grinding all day long with Master Xu Si and Duke Pingtai to take care of the business personally, Master Xu Si spoiled his children endlessly, and Princess Pingtai was not very good at taking care of Xu Qijin, so Xu Qijin was a little lady, and she really walked among businessmen as a female boss.

To be honest, Xu Qijin has no talent for business, and he has no interest in doing business, even if he talks about business with others, it is Gao Bo who has negotiated it in advance, she went to have a meal with the female relatives of other people's families to talk about clothes and jewelry, and finally stamped a private seal on the cooperation deed!

Xu Qirong knew very well in his heart that Xu Qijin ran out one trip after another, just to go to Jiangzhou to find someone in person! Gao Bo bought a jade shop more than two years ago, and from time to time he had to go to Jiangzhou to pick jade. Xu Qijin asked Gao Bo to go by the way to see how Ye Shen was raising medicinal herbs. Xu Qirong was stunned and didn't find an excuse to fool the past, only said that he suddenly cut off contact and couldn't find anyone. Xu Qijin wanted to go to find it in person, Xu Qirong couldn't stop her, so he had to let her go, and he spent money to let Gao Bo find a woman who knew a few kung fu tricks to follow Xu Qijin, and he was a little relieved.

The new Chen Kingdom is not as strict with women as the previous dynasty, Xu Qijin only met with some female relatives, and no one will stand up and say that she does not abide by women's morality or anything. It is also because of this that Master Xu Si and Princess Pingtai will relentfully agree to Xu Qijin.

It's just that Xu Qirong really didn't expect that her sister would marry herself so casually in order to cure her throat!

Princess Pingtai's voice was still cold, and her tone was a little reproachful: "Do you know that the Yi family came to propose marriage only after Sister Jin'er agreed?" ”

Xu Qirong's eyes widened. I couldn't help but complain a little about Xu Qijin in my heart, if my throat is bad, it will be bad, and if she can't cure this life, it's not that she can't live it, why should she take advantage of her lifelong happiness! Besides, even if she marries into the Yi family, she may not be able to find Ye Lin!

Xu Qirong stomped his feet and gestured in the palm of Princess Pingtai's hand: I want to go to Jiangzhou.

Princess Pingtai smiled, her chin drew a graceful arc, and said, "Such a coincidence, I also want to go to Jiangzhou." ”

Xu Qirong looked at Princess Pingtai in surprise, and Princess Pingtai explained in a light tone: "I heard that Zhou Wei has a younger sister, who is born with a willow waist and is not like a mortal, and there is nothing to do, so it is better to go and see the strangeness." ”

I haven't heard the name Zhou Wei for more than two years, and when I heard it at first glance, I couldn't help but be a little stunned, and when I realized who Princess Pingtai was talking about, Xu Qirong's first reaction was that his grandmother had been investigating this matter all these years, and the second reaction was, how could Zhou Wei have a sister in Jiangzhou!

At the beginning, Zhou Wei was given death for the crime of pretending to be a candidate for Qiuyi, others believed it, but Xu Qirong didn't believe it! Whether Zhou Wei was killed because he abducted Jiaren and eloped or something else, it was all for the sake of royal face, how could Emperor Chen Qian still let people who had a relationship with Zhou Wei stay in this world? Even if Zhou Weizhen has a younger sister, he should be incognito at this moment, how can he appear in Jiangzhou, which is so close to the imperial city!

Princess Pingtai glanced at Xu Qirong meaningfully: "If Sister Rong thinks it's interesting, why don't we go and see it together?" ”

It seems that he is asking for Xu Qirong's opinion, but the non-refusal in his eyes can not be refused, Xu Qirong can still see it!

Xu Qirong nodded and agreed. Don't blame her for being careful, if Zhou Wei's sister was really in Jiangzhou, and she had a reputation that was not like that of mortals, it would be impossible for Princess Pingtai to find out about her for more than two years.

Xu Qirong sighed in his heart, sat down in front of the desk again, picked up the pen and continued to copy the scriptures. She only cares about her sister's marriage now, and she doesn't want to talk to Princess Pingtai about Zhou Wei at all.

At the beginning, Xu Qirong excites Princess Pingtai to investigate Zhou Wei's affairs, but Princess Pingtai is not completely unconscious. At that time, it was just that Sister Rong accidentally knew something, and it was inconvenient to say it, so she had to borrow her own hand to check. As a grandmother, why not follow her once! When she finds out the clues, Sister Rong will naturally be unable to hold back and tell everything she knows.

Princess Pingtai glanced at Xu Qirong deeply, she didn't expect Xu Qirong to have no intention of confessing at this time, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed. However, with her cold temperament, she was disappointed, and she didn't show it on her face.

Mama Gui's movements were fast, but after a day's work, she was ready to go out. When Master Xu and Fourth Master Xu heard that Princess Pingtai and Xu Qirong were going out, they all frowned, what should I do if I get heat stroke outside on such a hot day!

It's just that Princess Pingtai said lightly: "I asked Mama Gui to prepare herbs." He successfully shut up his two sons, who are not very close to each other on weekdays.

Master Xu Si hesitated for a moment, but still didn't give up: "Let Zhuo stay at home." ”

Princess Pingtai glanced at Master Xu Si with a smile, and Master Xu Si couldn't say any more, he couldn't say that he was only worried about his daughter and not his mother!

Xu Tingjin sighed and said: "My son is troubled by political affairs, and he can't accompany his mother's original form, Sister Rong is young and weak, so it's better to let Sister Yu follow suit, and serve his mother and Sister Rong along the way." ”

Rao is Princess Pingtai, who has always been calm, and her expression is also a little cracked at this moment: "Sister Yu? ”

Xu Qirong hid in the room and heard it clearly, stretched out his hand and lifted the gown on his body, pinched the white and soft belly, and said in his heart, where is she weak?

Master Xu Si couldn't help but interject: "Big brother is talking about Sister Yun, right?" ”

Master Xu shook his head: "It's Sister Yu'er." Two days later, Lord Huang's wife will come to see Sister Yun, Sister Yu is steady and sensible, and has always been filial to her elders, and the third brother is a soft character, and she will not disagree if she wants to. ”

Xu Qirong couldn't help muttering in his heart, which old lady went out and didn't mention her granddaughter, but let a niece and granddaughter come to serve? My eldest uncle, I can't help but not understand the world! R1152
