Chapter 404: Marriage Proposal
Many people are still sighing for the fate of the lord of Jiayi, thinking that when Concubine Wan was still alive, the lord of Jiayi, as the most favored granddaughter of the concubine, can be said to be three thousand favors, but I don't want to be the most unhappy but the fate is bumpy.
However, some people in Yanzhou do not think so.
It is rumored that although the lord of Jiayi is married to the son of a merchant, he has a deep relationship with his husband and wife, and he is in harmony. Although the husband of the lord of Jiayi is not from a good background, he is a famous talent in Yanbei, with outstanding talents, and he is a specially hired gentleman of Yunyang Academy, and he also has an official position. The county lord of Jiayi has now left his family with his husband and set up a separate door, strictly speaking, the daughter of the county lord of Jiayi is no longer the daughter of a merchant.
All in all, because of the courtship of the second son of the Xiao family, the world has turned their attention to the Jiayi county lord's family, who have been unknown for more than ten years, but the parties have not yet realized that because the officers and soldiers guarding the Ren family have not been withdrawn, they have just right off the prying eyes of the world.
So when the matchmaker from Yanbei Wangfu came to the door, Ren Shimin and the Li family still couldn't react, and the person who was entrusted by Yanbei Wangfu to be a matchmaker was still a big man, Xu Wanli, the mountain chief of Yunyang Academy. What's even more unexpected is that although the people who came to propose marriage and those who came to protect the media were big shots, the Ren family agreed without taking a breath. Xu Wanli and Ren Shimin talked for a long time in the study, and Ren Shimin sent Xu Shanchang out of the study respectfully.
Ren Shimin's attitude made many people scratch their heads, it stands to reason that although Xiao Jingxi is not in good health, he is now not only the second son of Yanbei Palace, as the next son of Yanbei Palace, Miss Ren is high, and the marriage between the Ren family and Yanbei Wangfu is actually equivalent to the marriage of Yanbei Wangfu and Xian Wangfu, which is of great significance.
However, there are also many people who secretly applaud Ren Shimin. Look, this is the integrity of a real reader, the demeanor of a famous person. Whether it is Yanbei Wangfu or Xianwangfu, no one's face is sold. Because of Ren Shimin's attitude. The world's opinion of him is much higher. It's no wonder that since the allusion of "Three Visits to the Thatched House", readers have dreamed of having a drama with their superiors that you ask me to refuse, and their worth is pretending to be like this.
However, the world really misunderstood Ren Shimin, and Master Ren did not agree to the marriage proposal of Yanbei Wangfu not because of the high level of the scholar.
After he sent Xu Wanli away, he went to the main room to discuss with the Li family, with a tangled face: "I heard that this second son Xiao is not in good health. ”
Li Shi was also embarrassed: "Then this family business...... It's better to push it. ”
Pity the parents of the world, the reason why Ren Shimin and his wife did not agree to the family affairs of Yanbei Wangfu is not so complicated at all.
At this time, the Li family received a letter from his mother Rong, and the Li family thought that it must be for the proposal of the Yanbei Palace, but in fact it was indeed the case. However, Rong did not oppose and approve of this family affair in the letter, but let Li and Ren Shimin decide for themselves. also reminded her to ask Ren Yaoqi what she meant. Li Shi thought about it and told Ren Shimin about Rong's letter.
Ren Shimin also thought about it, and asked Ren Yaoqi to be called.
Ren Yaoqi had already known about the fact that Yanbei Wangfu had come to propose marriage before she was called by Ren Shimin and the Li family, after all, what happened to the Ren family now could rarely be hidden from her.
Ren Yaoqi's mood was also a little complicated, especially when her parents mentioned the family affairs of Yanbei Wangfu, the worried and reluctant expressions on their faces.
In fact, it stands to reason that this kind of thing is not Ren Yaoqi's turn to make his own decisions, but Ren Shimin's temperament is free and easy and not too restrictive to etiquette, and the Li family is used to listening to his daughter again, and Rong's letter also asked them to ask Ren Yaoqi's own opinion.
Ren Shimin said to Ren Yaoqi: "Although I haven't met Second Prince Xiao a few times. However, I heard that it is also rare to have both talent and appearance, but it is a pity that ...... "If it weren't for Xiao Jingxi's body being too weak, Ren Shimin might have complied, and there has always been only one request from his son-in-law." That is, the writing is outstanding. However, when facing the family affairs of his most beloved little daughter, Ren Shimin had to be cheesy and cautious.
Li also said: "What I mean with your father, this family business is still pushed." ”
Ren Yaoqi: "......"
Just as Ren Yaochi was thinking about how to answer. Xi'er reported outside: "Master, madam, the carriage of Yanbei Wangfu has arrived at the door. ”
It is said that after Xu Wanli left the Ren family, he went to Yanbei Palace. Explained his trip to Ren's house today to King Yanbei and Xiao Jingxi.
Hearing that Master Ren did not respond, King Yanbei was still a little surprised, but Xiao Jingxi looked calm.
After Xu Wanli came out, King Yanbei glanced at his son, coughed lightly and said, "Or ......."
Xiao Jingxi came back to his senses and looked at King Yanbei.
King Yanbei paused, got up and patted Xiao Jingxi on the shoulder, this comforting action was fought by the perennial marching soldiers, and the sturdy King Yanbei was very open and closed, and ordinary people were about to be slapped down by him.
"Don't care, why is the big husband without a wife!" King Yanbei, who is not very good at words, patted his son on the shoulder and explained dryly.
Xiao Jingxi glanced at his father helplessly, and consciously put down King Yanbei's hand.
"Why don't I let Sheng Shihong come to the door again?" King Yanbei came up with an idea.
Xiao Jingxi shook his head, and was about to speak, when King Yanbei said again: "That girl really doesn't look down on you and has nothing to do, this king ordered to marry, see who dares not to marry!" "The king of Yanbei who said cruel words was majestic and domineering.
Xiao Jingxi pressed his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Father ......"
"Son?"
"The son has his own plans for this matter, and the father doesn't need to worry about it." Xiao Jingxi said sincerely.
King Yanbei was still a little unsatisfied: "Then how can it be done?" You are my son, and you will be the son of Yanbei Palace, your marriage is a big deal! Our Yanbei Wangfu has always relied on fists to fight the world, and you actually ...... those red tapes."
"Father, not necessarily now." Xiao Jingxi gently interrupted King Yanbei's words.
"What doesn't have to be?" King Yanbei stopped talking, a little puzzled.
Xiao Jingxi patiently explained: "I may not be the son of Yanbei Wangfu. ”
King Yanbei was stunned, the look on his face became serious, and the king of Yanbei, who no longer gags, had a bit of a murderous aura on his face, this is the real king of Yanbei who crisscrosses the territory of the north, not a father who brushes his son's family affairs: "Could it be that there are some moths in the capital?" ”
Xiao Jingxi smiled: "The Zhao family is pregnant. ”
King Yanbei raised his eyebrows: "When did it happen?" Why do you say it now? ”
"After the eldest brother had an accident, Zhao was taken into the palace, and he said that he was afraid that the fetus would be unstable, so he didn't make a noise, and he has been in the palace of the Queen Mother."
King Yanbei was silent for a moment, and then glanced at Xiao Jingxi: "So our palace wants to set up a milk doll to be the son?" ”
Xiao Jingxi didn't care: "Even if we don't stand, how can the imperial court give up?" ”
King Yanbei touched his chin: "Then what if it's a granddaughter?" Also come to be the son of the world? ”
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but laugh, and reminded King Yanbei: "Did you allow Wu Xiaohe's posthumous son to be a daughter?" ”
King Yanbei was silent for a moment, and then opened his lips and elegantly spit out a word: "!" ”
Xiao Jingxi turned a blind eye to his father's rudeness: "So, father, you have more important things to do next, and you don't have to worry about your son's marriage." ”
King Yanbei sighed and patted Xiao Jingxi's shoulder again: "Son, it's useless to be a father, I have wronged you." Your brother is gone, and it is not your turn to be the son of the world, and you will be the son of the world and his uncle in the future, think about the fate of the high-ranking uncles of the emperors of the past dynasties, and I feel very sad for you to be a father! ”
Xiao Jing Xiguaner: "Thank you father for remembering, so my son hopes that you will live a little longer, so that your son will not be in a dangerous situation in the hands of his nephew in the future." ”
King Yanbei smiled heartily: "It's easy to say!" It's a big deal, my father will also leave you a suicide note or something, let you be an uncle regent, and come to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. ”
After the father and son made fun of each other, Xiao Jingxi left the study and went to Jiuyang Hall to find the princess.
On the second day, the princess's frame went to the Aquarius Hutong in person.
Ren Yaoqi, who was talking to his parents in the main room, was stunned after hearing Xi'er's report, and was thinking about who came to the palace when he heard the news that the princess had arrived.
Li Shi and Ren Shimin were both shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly went out to greet them.
Ren Yaochi thought about it, and immediately pulled Li Shi and Ren Shimin to explain in a low voice: "It may not be convenient for me to be present later, if the princess mentions it...... When it comes to family affairs, father and mother should come down. ”
Ren Yao knew that Ren Shimin and the Li family refused to mention Yanbei Wangfu for her sake, but outsiders would not understand, and it would be bad to be said that they did not know how to lift. The princess came to the door in person, and this family affair should not be followed, not to mention that Ren Yaoqi originally had a tacit understanding with Xiao Jingxi.
Li Shi and Ren Shimin were still a little hesitant, and Ren Yaochi could only say: "Father, mother, daughter is not against this family business. ”
The princess's car had already arrived at the door, and it was not good to delay any longer, so after Ren Yaoqi said this, he helped Li Shi to follow Ren Shimin out of the house.
The princess did not come to the door with great pomp this time, only followed by a few carriages and a few guards on horseback, and she did not wait for the Ren family to go to the gate to greet her, but waited at the second gate. The intimacy can be seen from these small details, and even the Li family has noticed the princess's amiable and accommodating attitude.
Ren Shimin took his wife and daughter to the second gate to greet the princess, and the princess held the Li family who was about to salute, and signaled to Ren Shimin, only accepting Ren Yaoqi's salute.
"The county lord doesn't have to be polite, I'm just coming to see you and Yao Qi today." The princess said with a smile.
