189 Shaoqing
In the evening, not long after the emperor left, Lian returned with Yue'er.
Cui Ling and the county lord of Yining were generally anxious, and they were waiting for the letter in the old lady's Tai'an Courtyard, but after waiting for a long time, only the Lian family came in.
The old lady was the first to speak, "Little third daughter-in-law, where is Yue'er?" Why didn't she come? β
The Yuan family has always had such an unwritten rule, no matter what news they are waiting for, they like to gather at the old lady's place, and in the same way, the person who goes out to do business must come to Tai'an Courtyard as soon as he comes back.
This means that the old lady does not have to worry, and it also represents the centripetal force of the Yuan family.
Although Yuan Yue'er has a temperament, she has always been a very filial child, and she also knows the rules, so this time she didn't follow the Lian family, which is quite surprising.
The old lady intuitively knew what was going on.
Cui Ling also thought so, and she stared at Lian intently with a pair of eyes, for fear of missing any news.
Lian Shi said with a smile, "Look at what Grandmother is worried about, with me, what can happen to Yue'er?" β
She stepped forward to find a vacant seat and sat down, poured a glass of water unceremoniously to drink, and then said, "Today, Sister Zhen'er's birthday, I invited a number of little sisters to go together, all of them were Yue'er's past visits, and a group of little girls had a good time." β
After a pause, she continued, "Yue'er is having a good time today, not only appreciating Mei's poems, but also a few children have to sit on the painting boat on the frozen pond, and they are tired and panicked after a day of playing, I saw that she fell asleep in the carriage, so I directly asked someone to carry the soft sedan chair to her house. β
Lian explained. The crowd was relieved.
The old lady said with a smile. "Boating on a frozen pond? It's a shame that they can figure it out. β
As she spoke, she thought of when she was younger. "When I was a girl's son, I only dared to throw a spinning top on the ice to play, but I didn't dare to sit on it by myself, and I wasn't afraid of falling into the ice cave, and I would get a good illness again."
Seeing that the old lady was getting more and more excited, the county lord of Yining couldn't help but cough and remind, "That's ...... Shaoqing ......"
She hadn't forgotten that Yue'er's main purpose in the Liguo Mansion today was to see her future son-in-law.
Actually, don't look at the county lord's graceful appearance, dignified and calm. She was in a hurry.
Although, Lian Shaoqing is also a child she watched grow up, and her temperament and appearance are more or less knowing, and she must be a good one, so she is willing to agree to let Yue'er see each other.
But in the end, I still don't feel at ease.
How much the county lord hopes that he can go with him, but on the birthday of Lian Zhen'er, all the young girls invited are invited, and the meaning of this look is too obvious, if it doesn't work, wouldn't it be beautiful?
So. Hearing that Yue'er was okay at this moment, her attention suddenly fell on Lian Shaoqing.
Lian covered his mouth and laughed. "It's not a secret, in addition to Shaoqing and Yue'er today, Sister Rui of my third sister-in-law's family also happens to look at each other, so I simply invited a table of young sons, and then You Meilin's opportunity to ask Yue'er and Shaoqing to meet."
She smiled and said, "I asked Yue'er when I came back, and she nodded, saying that Shaoqing was not bad, and it seemed that she was willing." β
Marriage is a major event, naturally not just a few words from Lian's family.
Today, Yue'er went back to the house first when she was tired, but when Ming'er got up, the old lady and the county lord of Yining always had to ask her what she meant.
If you really nod your head and agree, then you have to talk to the princess and lady of Liguo, and then go step by step according to the steps that the famous and noble women of Shengjing City should have when they leave the pavilion.
The identity of the county lord of Changle is here, and the marriage procedures cannot be sloppy at a step.
So Lian only ordered it to the end, and didn't say much good things for his nephew.
In her position, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, if Shaoqing and Yue'er can be good together, it will naturally be a great thing, but instead of having to make this marriage happen, but instead of achieving a pair of resentful couples, she still hopes that they can each get a good match.
Having said that, Cui Ling still went to Yue'er's yard secretly after she dispersed.
What she has learned is different from that of the old lady Jun Yining, and she doesn't know a little more than the Lian family, so for the same thing, she needs to worry about and worry about far more things than them.
As a fellow from the same era, and now Yue'er's elder, she still automatically consciously took this responsibility on herself, and she always wanted to determine Yue'er's mind before she could rest assured.
Yue'er also seems to be waiting for Cui Ling's arrival.
The girl who was said to have slept all the way in the carriage was sleepy and energetic at this time, pulling Cui Ling to speak, "Fifth aunt, I not only saw Lian Shaoqing today, but also saw Jingrong." β
Cui Ling frowned, "Jingrong? β
She knew that person would go today, but didn't Yue'er swear that she could put that person down, why was she so interested in him after a long time?
Is it what happened today?
She asked, suspiciously, "He...... Did he say anything to you? β
Yue'er hurriedly shook her head, "It's not what you think!" Jing Rong and I only met from a distance and did not speak. I just finally knew that Jing Rong was really a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and his ancestor was Emperor Xuan's youngest brother, King Gui. β
When King Cheng rebelled, King Gui was still young and was not affected.
Later, when the grandfather of the Sheng Dynasty invaded the imperial palace, he happened to go to the imperial tomb and survived the catastrophe.
When the country of the Sheng Dynasty was settled, the grandfather saw that King Gui was not only young, but also seemed to have no ambition, so in order to win a good reputation in front of the world, he pretended to be generous and spared King Gui's life.
After hundreds of years, the descendants of the Jing family of King Gui have long forgotten the original emperor in their bloodline, and have only become ordinary commoners.
The royal family of the Sheng Dynasty was still a little jealous of the royal family of the previous dynasty, so although Jing Rong's grandfather had been in the top three, he was only a six-rank petty official throughout his life.
Although his father served in the Hanlin Academy and was released as a county minister, he also stopped at the six products of his ancestors. No further gains.
Wait until the scene comes. I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the company in this life. I can only go in the direction of the Great Confucian Qingliu.
Cui Ling listened, a little curious, this is separated by I don't know how many generations of blood relationship, really speaking, I don't know how sparse it is, and it will have the same face as Emperor Xuan?
I don't know if it's a miracle or if it's providence.
But Yue'er told him what he was doing with this?
She said warily, "Even if Jing Rong is really after the royal family of the Jing Dynasty." But hundreds of years have passed since then. Don't think about it, no matter how good he is, he already has a fiancΓ©e, and that fiancΓ©e is still our in-law. β
If people live in the world, they must abide by the rules of survival in the world.
Cui Ling and Yue'er rely on the family, so they must abide by the rules of the family.
Even if the Yuan family is a family that protects its shortcomings, it is impossible to condone its own daughter to rob a relative's man, which is not only unpleasant to say, but also immoral, and the stakes are very important.
So, since Yue'er herself said that she wanted to put it down. Then you have to let go, and it's no longer easy to pick up this undeserved feeling.
Yue'er saw Cui Ling so nervous. couldn't help but be a little funny, "Aunt Five, in my heart, am I such an unreliable person?" β
She hurriedly comforted Cui Ling, "Okay, I'm just telling you, it's not for nothing that I found out that Jing Rong was born like Emperor Xuan today, and now that I know the relationship between them, I will no longer be obsessed with appearance." β
Appearance, but just skin, is not accurate.
It's as if under her current face, there is a soul like her that has gone through three lifetimes, who would have thought that?
Cui Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you know." β
She thought for a while and asked, "What about Lian Shaoqing?" The third sister-in-law said that you think he is good. β
Yue'er smiled lightly, "Well, it's good, the character and talent are all first-class, and they are very meticulous and ......."
Her eyes moved slightly, and a touching smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "He's quite funny." β
Cui Ling was puzzled and asked, "Interesting?" β
To describe a man with a first-class character, talent, and background seems to be a little unsuitable.
Yue'er didn't know what to think, and suddenly burst out laughing, "I don't know what to say, it's just funny." Although he looks like a beautiful son, there is something ...... inside."
She leaned close to Cui Ling's ear and said, "It's a little funny." β
Cui Ling asked in surprise, "What?" Comics? β
She immediately thought of Shi Xiujin, who jumped up and down like a monkey, his unobstructed mouth and jumping feet, this is the person who has been deeply imprinted with tease.
No way? What about the people who have even praised the old lady, can Lian Shaoqing be described by the word comics?
Yue'er said with a smile, "Aunt Five, you don't know, just because Sister Zhen said that if you go to the Liguo Mansion in spring and summer, you can row, this goods asked someone to carry out the painting boat in the mansion, saying that the frost has been terrible these nights, and the ice on the lotus pond must be very strong, so you have to skate." β
She continued, "I knew that the ice pond was not very thick in the weather these days, and if it was okay to skate alone, it was really not enough to support the weight of the boat, so I resolutely refused to get on the boat." β
Cui Ling imagined it for a moment and asked, "What about the others?" Are they all on board? β
Yue'er shook her head, "Originally, there were a few young ladies who were eager to try, but later when they saw that Sister Zhen and I refused to go up, they were all embarrassed to go up." Therefore, in the end, only Lian Shaoqing, Jing Rong, and a son of the Hou family of Changyi went up. β
She covered her mouth and smiled, "As expected, the boat capsized, and all three fell into the ice hole. The son of the Hou family in Changyi knew how to water, so he saved Jingrong, who was close to him, but Lian Shaoqing drank several sips of ice water before he asked his entourage to save him. β
Cui Ling was stunned when she heard this, "It's really a bit funny......"
She turned her head and asked, "But Lian Shaoqing made a big fool today and lost his face, why do you still think he is good?" That's what you and your third sister-in-law said, right? Lian Shaoqing is good, you are willing to marry this one. β
The expression on Yue'er's face suddenly became serious, and after a long time, she sighed faintly, "Aunt Five, you know me, I can't forget that person in my heart for a while...... But this one, you can't get married because of this unspeakable feeling. β
She paused, "Instead of marrying a man who is perfect like a textbook, it is better to choose someone who looks beautiful like my fifth uncle, but is actually very funny, so that he is down-to-earth, isn't it?" (To be continued......)
