Chapter 293: Marriage (2)
This famous Princess Deqing has a high prestige in the clan and is a legend. When the emperor was fighting for the throne, he had her great help, and the emperor's biggest rival also died at her hands. If you ask who the Empress Dowager Han is most afraid of, the eldest princess of Deqing will definitely be ranked first, if it weren't for the face of the current emperor and King Jing, even if the Empress Dowager Han was not killed by her, she would have been sent to the cold palace.
But this man rarely walks around in front of the officials' families, so everyone only hears her name but does not see her.
"This is the eldest princess of Deqing." Old Madam Yuan introduced to the Xiao family, seeing the surprised expression of the Xiao family, she smiled secretly, it turned out that not only was she surprised, but the Xiao family probably never dreamed that this person would come to their door! If the Xiao family knew that this princess volunteered to be a matchmaker for Yun Yichen and Xiao Yao, would they faint with joy! It's hard for others to say, but the Qin family of the old family will definitely be very excited.
"The courtiers meet the eldest princess." Except for the Qin family, who had not yet arrived, the remaining female relatives of the Xiao family gathered to give a gift to the eldest princess of Deqing.
"Excuse me! I'm here to beg your Xiao family today, you can put the shelf that should be placed, don't dare to open my mouth because I'm a matchmaker, we can't be cheap Ah Chen, that kid isn't. ”
Who dares to put up a stand in front of you, and how bold do you have to be to dare to make demands with you. Tong Mingyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the royal relatives are really not so easy to climb, and they can't afford to provoke any of their own families, let alone find them deliberately, they have never seen them before!
"The eldest princess can come to the cold house, it is an honor that the Xiao family can't ask for, and the eldest daughter-in-law doesn't hurry up to invite the eldest princess and her in-laws to sit inside." The old man, as one of the few people in the Xiao family who had seen the eldest princess, hurriedly ordered after confirming the identity of the other party.
A large group of people surrounded Princess Deqing Changqing and Mrs. Yuan into the hall, Tong Mingyu personally went down to arrange refreshments, and the old man and the helpless Qin accompanied the two distinguished guests.
"I didn't expect King Jing's Mansion to ask you to be a matchmaker, if you knew, the Xiao family would definitely rebuild the streets, clean the courtyard, and the whole family would go to the street corner to greet you." There are not many people who can make the old man admire, and the eldest princess of Deqing is just one of them.
"I, the matchmaker, volunteered to come, Ah Chen's kid promised me that I actually forgot, if I hadn't entered the palace to see the emperor a few days ago, I would still be in the dark! I've seen how I cleaned him up today.
When he asked me to enter the palace to help relieve the siege, he personally promised that if I look at your young lady, I will be the big media today, and what he is doing now is simply to cross the river and tear down the bridge. The eldest princess of Deqing first criticized Yun Yichen, not only to give the Xiao family face, but also to explain the reason why she came here, it was not that King Jingfu wanted to oppress people with power, but that she was looking at Xiao Yao and wanted to come.
Hearing that his granddaughter was praised by the eldest princess, the old man's face bloomed with joy, if it wasn't for his self-selling and boasting, it was not good, he wanted to echo the eldest princess for a few words.
"Where's your little girl! can not be stage frightened in front of so many people, and speak in a clear and well-founded manner, I liked her at first sight, if it weren't for Ah Chen's quick start, I would have wanted to kidnap your little girl to my princess's mansion. "The eldest princess has a really good impression of Xiao Yao, more than half a year has passed, I don't know if that child is getting more and more promising!
"My granddaughter is not in the house." As for where he went, the old man didn't want to reveal it, what if Yun Yichen's guy took advantage of his absence and ran to the villa to ask to see his granddaughter, he is currently the object of key prevention, and there is no one.
"You're saying my granddaughter was in trouble in the palace!" The old man who heard a little bit of the door asked eagerly, and his granddaughter rarely said anything about the outside when she came home, and she didn't say a word about bad things, so there were many things that the family didn't know, such as Xie Zhuoliang's affairs, such as getting into trouble in the palace.
The eldest princess of Deqing briefly told Xiao Yao about being bullied by a large group of young ladies in Fengxiang Palace, and in the end, of course, she didn't forget to say a lot of good things for Yun Yichen.
"Ah Chen is not the only one to help your little girl, I heard that a young lady was blocked and reprimanded by him in public because she had a few words with the little girl, and in the end, it was the young lady's father who personally begged King Jing to calm down the matter."
See for yourselves! Where to find such a good grandson-in-law (son-in-law)! The eldest princess of Deqing thought proudly.
The Xiao family hurriedly echoed, praising Yun Yichen for being affectionate and righteous, Tong Mingyu wanted to say that the matchmaker in King Jing's Mansion was really not in vain, and after such a while, his family was speechless. Do you need to talk about it next? Who dares to say a word to this person, haven't you seen your father-in-law put on a look of respect?
With this big Buddha in charge, today's things are going very smoothly, and the Xiao family has simplified their requirements, and only proposed to let Xiao Yao and Lu marry later.
This request is indeed not excessive, the eldest princess of Deqing agreed on behalf of King Jingfu, she also inquired about the prohibition of concubines with interest, and promised to stand on the side of the Xiao family, if she needs to sign she is willing to be a witness.
Old Madam Yuan heard the heroic remarks of the eldest princess of Deqing, the corners of her mouth twitched, King Jing's mansion recognized this condition is true, but as a matchmaker, is it necessary for you to be so active? And don't forget that it was King Jing's Mansion who invited you, not the Xiao family.
"Then it's going to be a trouble for the eldest princess." The old man really asked people to get the pen and ink, Xiao Jingkang wrote down the conditions, and the eldest princess of Deqing pressed her handprint very neatly after reading it.
These people really dare to ...... Dare to mention, dare to write, dare to be a guarantee, don't you all ask the opinions of Jingwangfu?
After talking about business, it was time to sit at the table, and Mrs. Yuan believed that she must be the most relaxed matchmaker ever, as long as she sat and drank tea, she didn't have to do anything at all.
During the meal, Tong Mingyu was always struggling, whether she should take out her daughter's Geng sticker, how dare she bother the eldest princess of Deqing to run again! Besides, what should be discussed has been almost discussed, so what's the point of putting it on the shelf.
"I'm going to go to King Jing's Mansion and tell Ah Chen that the little girl is very reserved, and the reward money is enough, so I will run for him again." The eldest princess of Deqing motioned to Tong Mingyu to put away Xiao Yao's Geng sticker, it was not the Xiao family that she wanted to toss but her nephew Yun Yichen, if he didn't say enough good things and didn't show his attitude, he wouldn't be able to marry his little daughter-in-law.
Finally sent away this big Buddha, the Xiao family breathed a sigh of relief, Tong Mingyu hurriedly gathered people after a short rest, the eldest princess of Deqing is estimated to come to the door in a few days, this time it must be grandly received.
The men who had been busy outside for a day were also surprised to hear that the eldest princess of Deqing had become a matchmaker in Jingwangfu, and Xiao Jingkang even told his wife that the next time the two matchmakers came back, they would hand over their daughter's birthday to them!
Even if her husband didn't say it, Tong Mingyu didn't dare to bother the eldest princess of Deqing to run for the third time!
Ten days later, King Jing's Mansion handed over the post again, fortunately, everything was ready at home, this time not only the old man and the Qin family had to go out to greet them, but even Xiao Jingkang stayed and waited to entertain the distinguished guests.
When the day came, the Xiao family gathered in the hall early in the morning, just waiting for the hour to come and go out to greet the distinguished guests.
"Ma'am, the Autumn Shadow Girl is here." Mama Zhang reported to Tong Mingyu.
"Hurry up and invite the Autumn Shadow girl in." This is the princess has something to explain, otherwise she would not have sent a capable person around her.
"The slave has seen the old lady, the old lady; Hou Ye, Mrs. Hou; I have seen the second lady, the third lady and the young grandmothers. ”
"Autumn Shadow girl doesn't have to be polite, sit down and have a cup of tea!"
"The slave maid was ordered by the princess to pass on a few words, and the princess said that it was too cold outside, and the old lady and the old lady did not need to go out to greet them when they were old, and you just had to wait in the gate as last time.
When someone arrives, they will report in advance, so you just have to wait in the lobby for news. After saying that, Autumn Shadow got up and took her leave.
The Qin family kept praising Princess Jing for being careful and sympathetic to the elderly. The family has long been accustomed to her being extremely excited at the mention of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and they casually echoed a few words and sat together waiting for the matchmaker to come to the door.
The lineup of matchmakers in Jingwangfu today has expanded again, and the three carriages came to the door of Xiao's house in turn, with the experience of the last time, Tong Mingyu calmly commanded his subordinates to remove the threshold and drive the carriages directly into the courtyard.
The arrival of the eldest princess of Deqing and Mrs. Yuan was expected by the Xiao family, and it was very surprising that Yin Qianhua would come. It seems that today's family affair will be settled, Xiao Jingkang and Tong Mingyu glanced at each other with complicated expressions, hid the sadness and reluctance in their hearts, and welcomed the guests into the living room with a smile.
After greetings, Yin Qianhua was the first to speak: "I know that Ping An was pampered and grew up in the Xiao family, and it is reasonable for you not to worry about marrying her into Jingwangfu, my mother-in-law-to-be is here today to promise not to let her take care of the house, and will not chase her to give birth to grandchildren, you miss her, not only can you go to the palace to see her at any time, but we will not stop you if you want to take her back and live for a few days."
As for the fear that she would marry into the palace and not get along with others, our prince said that although the in-laws can rest assured, he will take care of everything before Ah Chen and Ping'an get married. If you still have any requirements, even mention them today, as long as our royal palace can do it, we will try our best to meet it. ”
Having said that, if the Xiao family still refuses to nod and give an attitude, they will really be a little ignorant. Tong Mingyu took the initiative to hand over Xiao Yao's birthday to Yin Qianhua, if there is no problem after Jingwangfu finds someone to meet, this family matter can be officially determined.
Yun Yichen went to find the most respected master Guangci in Kyoto the next day, and the result was only four words: "a match made in heaven". Yun Yichen didn't care about those comments at all, even if the results were not good, he had a way to turn the situation around.
Now that everything is normal and saves a lot of trouble, Yun Yichen touched the piece of paper on his chest that said "A match made in heaven", and his heart was as sweet as he wanted.
Little girl, you're finally going to be my fiancée!
