Chapter Seventy-Five: The Struggle Behind the Marriage
With Princess Qi's silence, everyone's attention turned to Princess Lanling, Princess Lanling glanced at Princess Qi, and she also saw that Princess Qi was willing to send a precious jade hairpin to Su Han, and she was also here for Su Han.
Since their goals coincided, of course she would not discuss the marriage in front of Princess Qi, so Princess Lanling smiled at Zhou and said, "I heard that the back garden of Su Mansion is classic and elegant, can Madame accompany me to have a look?" ”
Zhou glanced at Mrs. Lu a little embarrassed, Mrs. Lu knew in her heart, she looked at Princess Qi, and saw that she was still drinking tea quietly, so she smiled at Zhou and said, "Since the princess is interested in the garden, you can accompany her to have a look." ”
"Yes!"
Zhou stood up and said to Princess Lanling: "Please come with me!" ”
Princess Lanling smiled at Princess Qi and nodded, "Please sit down for a while, and I'll go and take a look." ”
Luo Qifeng sneered in his heart, and pretended to smile hypocritically: "Auntie, just go and see, I'll chat with Mrs. Lu here." ”
In fact, she also hoped that Princess Lanling would go away, she wanted to find a chance to talk to Mrs. Lu about the marriage, and soon, Princess Lanling and the Zhou family left, Luo Qifeng looked at the grandchildren and granddaughters standing behind, and gave Mrs. Lu a look, Mrs. Lu understood, so she turned back to the grandchildren and said, "Everyone go back!" ”
Everyone agreed and retreated together, Su Han hesitated, she wanted to stay, but Mrs. Lu shook her head at her, meaning to let her go down too, so she had to turn around and go down.
When everyone went down, only Mrs. Lu and her two daughters-in-law, Zhao and Ma, accompanied Princess Qi to talk in the guest hall, and Mrs. Lu asked with a smile: "I don't know why Princess Qi came to Su Mansion today?" Luo Qifeng is time has come, so he put down the teacup, smiled slightly: "Today I actually came to clarify one thing, I think everyone in the house knows, it was what happened in Tianji Temple yesterday, in fact, it was a misunderstanding, my brother used to be young and not more troublesome, and he got into a lot of trouble, so his reputation was not very good, but as he grew up, he rarely caused trouble anymore, but his reckless temper has not changed, yesterday in Tianji Temple, he saw Miss Su Han, and was immediately shocked, and he was afraid that the two sides would pass by, I didn't know the news anymore, and under recklessness, I stepped forward to ask Miss Su's identity and name, but the boy couldn't speak, plus some fox friends and dog friends next to him, in order to show his manly spirit, he said something about his love for Miss Su, and wanted to know Miss Su and other bastard words, but one thing I want to make clear, give him 10,000 guts, he didn't dare to provoke the granddaughter of the country's priest wine, in fact, he didn't touch Miss Su a single hair, just wanted to save face in front of fox friends and dog friends, and he was also very remorseful afterwards, He wanted to come to Sufu to apologize, but he felt that his sincerity was not enough, so he came to beg me to apologize for him as a princess. ”
Luo Qifeng spoke very slowly, and his tone was also very sincere, coupled with the distress in his expression, which made people think that she was very sincere.
Although Luo Qifeng avoided and polished a lot, everyone knew what happened yesterday from Su Yi, and when compared with Princess Qi's words, you will find that she has changed a lot of substantive surnames.
Anyway, the black is said to be gray, and the gray is said to be white, and finally the surname is changed, and it is said that he is in love, and he is rude because of the recklessness of the youth.
Mrs. Lu sighed and said: "Although my granddaughter refuses to forgive, from the perspective of the Su family, since the princess personally apologized and did no harm to Han'er, then the Su family can understand this matter, so even if this matter is over, the princess will not need to mention it again in the future." ”
Luo Qifeng was secretly happy in her heart, what she wanted was this effect, she also knew that it would be this result, Su Han was the party concerned, she had a grudge in her heart, she was a girl civilian, and it was normal to say some negative words, but Mrs. Lu was different, she was the lady of the third grade, and she was the housemother of Su Mansion, how could she not understand the importance of the princess to apologize in person, it did not cause serious consequences, and it was not a big deal, of course she would give herself face.
In fact, if it weren't for her brother begging her to come to Sufu to ask for marriage, she wouldn't have apologized for this little thing.
Now that Su Fu has recognized her apology and her explanation, it is easy to say the rest of the words.
She said sincerely: "My brother Luo Qiyu is the only son of the Luo family, just because my father and I doted on him too much, so he was young and frivolous, ignorant, but his surname is very good, he is very filial to his parents, as he gets older, his frivolity is becoming less and less, and he begins to become stable. But he fell in love with Miss Su of your mansion at first sight, so that he came to beg me and His Royal Highness the King of Qi, he wanted to marry Miss Su as his wife, and he promised to have this wife, so he would not marry a concubine, this is something he has never had, we all know that he is serious, he is very sincere, so I only proposed to Su Mansion today as the princess of Qi, and at the same time on behalf of the king of Qi. ”
Speaking of which, she took out the seal of King Qi and put it on the table, she believed in the weight of this seal, this was the first time she had brought out her husband's seal.
Princess Qi's words made the faces of the ladies of the Su Mansion change greatly at the same time, they all thought that the princess was just here to apologize, but they never thought that Princess Qi was actually here to propose marriage and let Han'er marry the scoundrel who teased her.
Mrs. Lu also realized that she had made a mistake in agreeing to understand the matter of Tianji Temple just now, and it was precisely because of her understanding that the other party had no moral pressure, so she unscrupulously proposed marriage, and also used the identity of the princess and the king of Qi to pressure herself.
No, she can't make any more mistakes in this matter, otherwise, how can she explain it to her husband? Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "It is a great honor for King Qi and Princess Qi to be able to look down on the Su family, but our Su family's criteria for choosing a son-in-law are very strict, first of all, we must be outstanding in learning, secondly, we must be the sons of famous families, and then we must have outstanding character, these three conditions are indispensable, especially Han'er is the eldest granddaughter, and we should not be hasty......"
Luo Qifeng heard that Mrs. Lu had the intention of refusing, so he didn't wait for her to finish, and immediately interrupted her: "I understand the conditions of your mansion, in fact, in the final analysis." The door is on the four words, my younger brother is completely in line with the four words, our Luo family is the Yidu clan of Qizhou, my father is the envoy of the Qiqing Festival, and my younger brother is the only son of the Luo family, according to the imperial court system, once he gets married, he will take the county duke, and his father will die in the future, he is not only promoted to the county duke, but also can inherit his father's business, as the commander of the Qizhou army, the emperor has promised at the beginning of the year, if my brother is the county duke, he will immediately be named the governor of the army, and control the power of the army, which is not a hundred times stronger than those useless white-faced scholars? Although he is a little less knowledgeable, he can really become the pillar of Su Mansion, such a son-in-law, where to find Su Mansion, as for character, I think the old lady is also a person from the past, which man is not frivolous when he is young? When King Qi was twenty years old, he was still called the evil king, but now he is calm and dominant, who dares to say that he has an inferior character? Men change with age and status, and the old lady should understand this truth. ”
Luo Qifeng was able to speak well, so that Mrs. Lu couldn't say a word for a long time, and at this time, Mrs. Zhao, who had been silent, reminded in a low voice: "Mother-in-law, I'm afraid I have to ask Han'er's grandfather for this matter!" ”
Mrs. Zhao is Su Hanzhen's wife, she thinks about the problem very simply, Jiutian is not her daughter, and it is not her turn to call the shots, but she knows that her husband is the prince's henchman, and once Jiutian marries King Qi's brother-in-law, this will probably be very unfavorable to her husband, so she can't sit idly by.
A sentence reminded Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu immediately smiled: "Look at me who is confused, how can Han'er's marriage be decided by me, it is naturally up to her grandfather to decide, I already understand the princess's intention and sincerity, when her grandfather comes back, I will tell her grandfather truthfully, and I will definitely give the princess an official answer." ”
Since she can't agree, shirking is also a good way, Luo Qifeng is also an extremely powerful woman, she knows that in the end, the Su family will push it to her grandfather Su Xun, but she is not worried, what she has to do is to ask the Su family to accept her marriage proposal, as for whether to agree or not, that is the next step.
"Oh well! Today, I came to formally propose to the Su family. ”
She took out a thick envelope, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Originally, it was supposed to be a matchmaker to do Nacai, but in order to show the sincerity of our Luo family, I will propose to the Su family as the princess of Qi. ”
Mrs. Lu felt a headache, this Princess Qi was pressing step by step, and she actually prepared the marriage book, whether she accepted it or not, if she didn't accept it, not only would she offend King Qi, but she had just said that she wanted to listen to Han'er's grandfather's opinion, which meant that she could discuss marriage, but if she accepted it, it was really inappropriate, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
Luo Qifeng didn't give her a chance to refuse, she immediately got up and said with a smile: "There are many affairs in the palace, I can't sit for a long time, so I will leave, please don't send me." ”
She got up and smiled and saluted, and then walked out quickly, her move caught Mrs. Lu and the others off guard, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
But she is a princess, how can she not send it, Mrs. Lu had to get up and send it out, Luo Qifeng just walked out of the courtyard, but Su Han stopped her, and presented a delicate wooden box with both hands, "Thank you princess for the gift of meeting, this is a return gift from the juniors, it is a little heart from the juniors, please accept it." ”
Luo Qifeng smiled happily, "Miss Su is worthy of being a knowledgeable person, then I will accept it, thank you!" ”
