Chapter 241: Door-to-door propose

The embroidery competition has ended, and Zhan Xinlan has also broken into the top ten through her own efforts, which means that her value is another high.

It has always been the case that big families have to take care of their wives when they marry their wives, especially the princes and nobles, who value these even more, and I thought that with the praise of the emperor, there would be many people like Gu Yunxin who proposed relatives to the door.

Gu Yunxin is the daughter of the Taifu, but she is not bad, she is the daughter of the general, and if she is close to the Dingguo Mansion, it is also that she is closer, and she is also surnamed Zhan.

It's just that Zhan Xinlan is wrong, Gu Yunxin can win the love of King Rui, not because of the daughter of the Taifu, the honor of the county lord, but because of her unique character, other high-ranking nobles are like Zhan Xinyue, who have been trained to be obedient since childhood, but Gu Yunxin is not, maybe because she has lived a lifetime, Gu Yunxin has to jump out of it more than other high-ranking nobles, which is why she has won the favor of King Rui.

"Big brother, you said that I am now in the top ten of the embroidery competition, will someone come to the door soon?" Zhan Xinlan sat at the dining table and poked a plate of green vegetables on the table with chopsticks.

"This ......, marriage matters, naturally have to be decided by the father, even if a matchmaker comes to the door, you can't decide it yourself." Zhan Tian said in a deep voice.

"Perhaps...... Maybe my grandfather and grandmother ......," Zhan Tianlei hesitated.

Although, both grandfather and grandmother were angry because their brother did not go to the military camp to experience according to the uncle's arrangement, but chose to follow King Jing. Now, their brother can be regarded as having a firm foothold in Kyoto, and this time Zhan Xinlan won the ranking in the competition again, so I don't think my grandfather will be angry.

"If your grandfather and grandmother don't worry about it first, they won't worry so much about our juniors." Zhan Tian waved his hand.

After the embroidery competition, many noble ladies have come to the door to propose, and even those who have not won the ranking have also set up a family affair, but no one has come to the door to propose.

On this day, Zhan Xinlan walked on the streets of Kyoto with Xiaocui, listened to the hawkers' shouts, and then walked to the door of the Splendid Fang, and saw that there were two ladies inside who were choosing fabrics with a young girl.

"This piece of fabric is the best drunken fairy face in my store, and it is the best to make a wedding dress for a girl. There is also this gold-sprinkled red yarn, which can set off the girl's beauty even more. The shopkeeper spat and introduced.

Looking at the smile on the woman's face, Zhan Xinlan felt a little lost in her heart, this woman knew that in the original competition, she didn't even enter the top ten, and even she had someone to propose, but no one asked about herself.

Here is the selection of fabrics, but then someone came to choose the fabric, the business of this splendid workshop is usually very good, especially after the embroidery competition.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Pan, you are also here to choose a wedding dress for Miss." The one who came first said with a smile.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Miao, yes, yes, my Yao'er promised someone else, and she will get married next month.

It's going to be a big day. Mrs. Pan smiled lightly.

"My family Xi'er is also at the beginning of next month, the best and most auspicious day of the year, isn't it also in a hurry to choose fabrics to make wedding dresses." Mrs. Miao sneered.

This Mrs. Pan is so arrogant on weekdays, she likes to show off how good her daughter has promised, but she is just the son of an imperial businessman, what is there to be proud of.

"My family Xi'er promised the third son of the waiter." Mrs. Miao said proudly.

Hearing this, Mrs. Pan pursed her lips, what happened to the third son, but he just crawled out of the belly of the concubine, although it has been recorded in the name of the main house, but after all, there is no future.

"It's a good marriage, although the third son is a concubine, if he divides the house in the future, he can also become the head of the house." Mrs. Pan sneered.

Although Pan Yao promised the imperial merchant family, she is a sister-in-law, and the power of the housekeeper in the future is naturally in her hands, but Miao Xi is different, although she married into the official family, she is only the third-ranked son, even if it is recorded in the name of the master's mother, she is not qualified to inherit the family business in the future.

When the two were comparing, Miao Xi pouted and said, "Okay, mother, don't argue with Mrs. Pan." The third prince is very good, and he knows poetry and books, not like the Shen Gongzi, who wanders in the land of fireworks all day long. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Pan's lungs were about to explode, and her reputation as her future son-in-law was indeed a little bad, but being said in public like this also made her very ugly.

"You don't have to argue, this man, they are all flowers, no matter what, the girls of our families have also chosen good families, how will they live in the future, it is their own fate." A woman in a dark green dress stepped in.

"Mrs. Shi, why are you here too?" Mrs. Pan greeted her with a smile.

"Naturally, I chose fabrics for my daughter to make dresses, and the Queen Mother called the top three ladies, and I thought that I wanted a few unmarried princes to choose princesses." Mrs. Shi said proudly.

Hearing Mrs. Shi say this, Mrs. Pan couldn't help but pout, this daughter of Mrs. Shi's family was the third place in this year's embroidery competition.

"That's right, our daughter can have a good home, it's better than that, and she doesn't even have a marriage." Mrs. Miao said with a smile.

That one? No one proposed? Zhan Xinlan had already clenched her fists angrily when she heard these words, and finally broke out after she heard the next words.

"Propose? Who dares to propose marriage, that is the person whom King Jing looks down on, who is impatient to live and dare to rob a woman with King Jing. Mrs. Pan looked around.

Isn't that what she's talking about? Whatever she is, it's not something anyone else can leave behind. "A group of long-tongued women, if you talk about others like this, aren't you afraid of going to hell to put your tongue on it?" Zhan Xinlan said angrily.

Although Mrs. Miao and the others didn't know Zhan Xinlan, Miao Xi did, "Zhan Xinlan? I didn't see you coming in and picking out the fabric

。 ”

Don't see it? I'm afraid that even if she saw it, she would turn a blind eye. The person who Jing Wang likes, she said why no one came to the door to propose marriage, it turns out that everything is because everyone knows that they are the person Jing Wang likes.

Before, Gu Yunxin and Zhan Xinyue persuaded themselves to have less contact with King Jing, and even had to buy her another yard to live in, but she refused to listen to it at the beginning, and her two elder brothers, who have today's status, are all because of King Jing's relationship, is it possible that she really wants to marry King Jing as a continuation?

If you say that it is good for you to respect the king? The answer is yes. King Jing is not only very good to himself, but also very good. But he never forced himself to marry him.

Zhan Xinlan didn't know how she left Jinxiufang, Xiao Cui beside her looked at Zhan Xinlan's distracted appearance, and then said softly: "Miss, the slave maid thinks that there is nothing bad about marrying King Jing, although King Jing is older, but this throne is not fake, in the future, Miss will give birth to King Jing a son, are you still worried about your future life?" When the time comes, those who look down on us will not be able to stammer. ”

King Jing is at such an age, even if the first princess has died, then there must be an heir, even if she gives birth to a son-in-law, it can't be compared with the original son-in-law.

"Xiaocui, do you think it would be better for me to marry King Jing? You don't know about these mansion gates, even if I become Princess Jing, even if I give birth to a child, my child is not as good as the original Princess Jing's child. The world is like that, identity is more important than anything else. Zhan Xinlan lowered her eyes.

"Miss......" Xiao Cui didn't think for a while.

Originally, she thought that if Zhan Xinlan married King Jing, she would be able to rise with the tide, but now it seems that Zhan Xinlan has no intention of marrying King Jing.

However, fortunately, she is now Zhan Xinlan's personal maid, and she is already very happy to be able to command those little girls to do things in Zhan's house.

Back at the exhibition house, there was a gorgeous carriage parked in front of the door, such carriages are common in Kyoto, Zhan Xinlan stepped forward and saw a middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes standing next to the carriage.

After the woman saw Zhan Xinlan, she immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Miss Zhan, the wife of the Marquis of Jinzhou, I came to Kyoto this time to visit you." ”

Came to visit her? She is just the daughter of a general, and her reputation in Kyoto is not very good, and the wife of a dignified Marquis of Jinzhou actually came to visit her? Who would believe that?

"Mrs. Hou of Jinzhou? You and I have never crossed paths, so why are you visiting me? Zhan Xinlan wondered.

Although she also wants to make friends with the powerful, she doesn't want people to think that she doesn't care about anything in order to cling to the powerful.

"Don't get me wrong, Miss, I came here this time, and I was also entrusted by someone. This is not a place to talk, I wonder if I can go to the lady's house and sit? The woman said tentatively.

Zhan Xinlan glanced around, and there were already many people around her looking at her

"Alright, you come in." ”

Mrs. Hou of Jinzhou followed Zhan Xinlan into the mansion, and the little maid quickly drove the carriage to the backyard, Mrs. Hou of Jinzhou smiled lightly: "Miss Zhan, I came this time to propose marriage to Miss." ”

Propose? Is Mrs. Hou of Jinzhou going to say goodbye to her son? It's just that she has just established herself in Kyoto, so is she going to leave like this? Wouldn't that be more than worth the loss?

"If Mrs. wants to propose, at least she has to ask my father, and besides, my brother is not in the house, is it a little inappropriate for you to propose marriage to a girl's family with me?" Zhan Xinlan said lightly.

The Marquis of Jinzhou sounds good, but she knows very well that the Marquis of Jinzhou is just a powerful person in name only, and the relationship is only in a small place in Jinzhou.

Hearing this, Mrs. Hou of Jinzhou smiled awkwardly, "Miss Zhan misunderstood, my son is already married, this time I am saying kiss for someone else, the other party hopes that you can agree, and he will give a dowry." ”

Hearing Mrs. Hou of Jinzhou say this, Zhan Xinlan said in her heart, it turned out that she was a matchmaker, even if she wanted to be a matchmaker, at least she had to choose one when her brother was at home, and told her so bluntly, how did she know what kind of character and appearance the other party was?

"I ......"

Before Zhan Xinlan's words could be spoken, the little maid outside the door ran in quickly, "Miss, the lady and the master are here......"
