Chapter 262: Promise

Although Princess Lingnan doesn't go out often, her means of communication are no worse than those of the ladies in Kyoto, she first greeted the Yuan family, and then greeted Yin Qianhua, and when it was the turn of the Xiao family, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

"These are your two little girls!" The son said that what he liked was the ruddy-faced, healthy little girl, not the little beauty who would fall when the wind blew.

Princess Lingnan presided over such a big family, and she thought that her ability to see people was not bad, and the two little girls in front of her had clear eyes and soft expressions, and she knew at a glance that she was a pure-hearted person.

The one that my son likes is especially rare, and it is not easy to live with my sister who is stronger than me for more than ten years, so that I can not be jealous, not inferior, and have a bright smile, and my innocent expression is not easy.

The more high-ranking the family, the more dirty things are unknown in the family, and the princess of Lingnan has been in that environment for decades and knows this truth. The Lingnan Royal Mansion has reached its peak today, and there is no room for further progress. In order to prevent the emperor from being suspicious, the family sent their youngest son to Kyoto, thinking that it would be good to find her a daughter of a small official, but who knew that he fell in love with the young lady of the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion.

At first, the husband and wife of the Lingnan King opposed the proposal of the youngest son, what would the emperor think of marrying the prince and the Hou mansion in their own palace? What do you think?

"The emperor already knew my thoughts, and promised that as long as we could ask for this family affair, his old man would not interfere." Kong Xuzhe doesn't care about political affairs at all, as long as he is happy and happy, he doesn't care about other things!

On the one hand, she was a son who made up her mind and refused to change it, and on the other hand, she had a promise from the emperor, so Princess Lingnan had to go out in person to think about using the Yuan family's banquet to inspect Xiao Yuan's character, and also to test the attitude of the Xiao family.

In this matter, Princess Lingnan and Yin Qianhua are surprisingly consistent in their thoughts, and they both want to use the Yuan family's banquet to contact the Xiao family, and it is best to make substantial progress.

The gifts that Princess Lingnan gave to the girls of the Yuan family and Xiao Yao were all placed in the tray in advance by the maids. The only thing Xiao Yuan is a hibiscus jade bracelet that Princess Lingnan took off from her wrist, the bracelet is crystal clear, the jade is warm, and it is a treasure at a glance.

"It's not going to be done." Mrs. Yuan and Yuan Yutong stood up together and refused, but Tong Mingyu and Yin Qianhua were wondering if Princess Lingnan was going to make a move? It's really fast!

"I like this kid, and if I can, I'd like to take people home and watch them every day!" Princess Lingnan grabbed Xiao Yuan, who looked ignorant, and refused to let go, but everyone understood the meaning of her words, is this a signal that she wants to marry the Xiao family?

"Go out for a walk, little girls! Let's sit and talk to those of us who are older. Mrs. Yuan called Yuan Ying, the only granddaughter in the family who was not out of the cabinet, and asked her to accompany Yun Ruonan and the Xiao sisters to play in the courtyard, and when she turned her head, she didn't forget to hand her niece a meaningful look, Princess Lingnan spoke, what are you waiting for.

The daughters-in-law of the Yuan family were also sent out to find another living room to receive the guests who came one after another.

When there was only a group of noble ladies left in the room, Princess Lingnan spoke again: "Knowing that your family is still young, we can wait, I just hope that the third wife and the eldest lady will not refuse, as for whether or not you can marry a daughter-in-law in the end, it depends on Ah Zhe's own ability and sincerity." ”

Tong Mingyu and Yuan Yutong looked at each other speechlessly, they never thought that they would meet someone who proposed marriage today, and it was Xiao Yuan who mentioned it, how can this be answered!

"Since the princess of Lingnan has spoken, I won't hide it, my prince and I especially like the child Ping'an, and I also hope that Mrs. Xiao will consider how about my family's Ah Chen?" Yin Qianhua gave Tong Mingyu a smile of "You heard it right" and then stopped talking, why should she leave some time for Xiao Jiayu to buffer and consider, isn't it?

Tong Mingyu, Yuan Yutong and Li Jiaoying are now extremely glad that their mother-in-law did not come with her today, if her old man comes, she will definitely nod without hesitation and agree to the marriage of Lingnan Wangfu and Jingwangfu on the spot.

"The affairs of the Xiao family are not up to a few of our female juniors, Mrs. Yuan and Princess Jing should have some understanding of the situation in our family, and it is useless for anyone to open their mouths to propose marriage without the nod of their father-in-law."

Mrs. Yuan and Yin Qianhua nodded in agreement, they can testify to this, the actual ruler of the Xiao family is the old marquis Xiao, and it has always been, if it weren't for the fact that the old marquis is too fond of his granddaughter and too stubborn, King Jing and Yun Yichen would not be so passive.

"Ping'an and Ruyi are still young, and it's not too late for the two of you to go back and discuss with Uncle Xiao and Jingmin before making a decision." Mrs. Yuan thought to herself, what is this thing she is doing! I promised to help my in-laws find a son-in-law for the two children, and I encouraged the children's mother-in-law to consider the proposal of the two royal mansions, hey! I will never be a matchmaker again, and I feel embarrassed and ashamed.

"It should be, it should be." No man's mother will agree to the girl on the spot, even if both parties are interested in the man's family not asking for a matter of three or four times.

Tong Mingyu's heart is inclined to Yun Yichen, after Yin Qianhua spoke, her heart was both down-to-earth and a little sad, King Jing's Mansion is different from those who went to the Xiao family to propose relatives in the past, and those who refuse their family will be treated as fools by the whole of Kyoto.

It is precisely because King Jing's Mansion is too prominent, and Yun Yichen is too outstanding personally, and the feeling of uneasiness in Tong Mingyu's heart is becoming more and more obvious. If the daughter marries into the palace, no matter what happens, her family can only watch, even if Yun Yichen loses her daughter in the future, she will marry a concubine from the courtyard and return to the Xiao family, and she will not have the right to question and object.

It seems that there are advantages and disadvantages in everything, and nothing in the world is perfect.

"We all know the rules of the Xiao family, can't my son express his determination after so many years of being clean and clean?" Yin Qianhua patted Tong Mingyu's arm to comfort her, they are all people with children and daughters, and she can fully understand Tong Mingyu's mood at the moment. Who wants their daughter to marry a man who is full of warblers and Yanyan, the men of the Xiao family have no concubines, and they also have the right to ask that the future son-in-law be a single-minded person.

didn't expect to get this kind of promise, Tong Mingyu tried to suppress his urge to agree, nodded indifferently, in fact, his heart was already happy, Yin Qianhua's promise was equivalent to the promise of King Jing and King Jing's Mansion. She has lived in Kyoto for so many years, of course she knows what kind of person Yun Yichen is, if he can really clean himself, Tong Mingyu would rather be scolded by his father-in-law to promote this family affair.

Xiao Yao and Xiao Yuan guessed that those people were together to discuss things, and the sisters thought that they were discussing two family affairs that Mrs. Yuan gave as a matchmaker, Xiao Yao had already corrected her mentality and looked away. Xiao Yuan doesn't want to marry someone she doesn't know at all, but she thinks that what her sister said is right, if you get along well, you can live by yourself!

In the future, if you have a dowry shop and silver, are you still afraid that you won't be able to live? After figuring out this layer, Xiao Yuan happily went to play. Xiao Yao found a gazebo to rest, she didn't have as much energy as her sister.

Yun Yichen walked around the front yard, but his heart fell behind, falling on Xiao Yao, and all he was thinking about was how the little girl could be so thin and what she had experienced.

"So you're here, my mother went to the backyard, and I guess she's helping me propose marriage now!" A bright smile rippled at the corner of Kong Xuzhe's mouth, thinking that doing it was the purpose of King Minjun's life, he didn't have Yun Yichen's ability to hide and forbear.

"You ......" Yun Yichen wanted to say that you don't know the Xiao family at all, you don't know the old man, and taking rash actions not only can't succeed, but is easy to do bad things.

"Is my little Ruyi in the backyard? There are days when I don't think it's weird. ”

I'm also worried about the girl! But the backyard is full of female dependents, so if you don't want to cause trouble and misunderstanding, it's better to go less.

The banquet of the Yuan family is not much different from that of most officials, and the women and ladies enjoy the flowers and listen to the play; The men drank and talked merrily.

Because of the arrival of Yun Yichen and Kong Xuzhe, the ladies all went to the hanging flower gate connected to the front and back yards, intentionally or unintentionally, hoping to come to a chance encounter. Also because of Xiao Yao's arrival, many sons kept looking back, looking forward to seeing the demeanor of the first beauty in Kyoto.

What they sang on the stage, and even what they ate at the banquet Tong Mingyu and Yuan Yutong don't remember much, they were calm and calm on the surface, but their minds had drifted out of the clouds.

"My mother and third aunt are not in the right mood!" Everyone else is watching the play, but Xiao Yao is analyzing her mother's demeanor. The mother-in-law, who had always collapsed in front of Mount Tai and did not change her color, had a stiff expression at the moment, and her mind was obviously divided.

"Is there one?" Xiao Yuan took a piece of snack for himself and helped his sister clip another piece. Xiao Yao has a bad appetite recently, and she doesn't want to eat greasy things and shakes her head to refuse. How could Xiao Yuan be willing, he insisted on handing the dim sum to her mouth, looking like if you don't eat it, I will keep holding it.

In the end, of course, it was Xiao Yao who was defeated, Yun Ruonan also followed the example of his cousin and fed Xiao Yao something to eat, two of you, you feed a mouthful, I fed one piece and Xiao Yao hugged her fist and begged for mercy after a while.

Princess Lingnan, who has been secretly observing here, nodded secretly, her son's vision is good, and the little girl of the Xiao family is indeed a good one.

Mrs. Yuan didn't say anything, just smiled at Tong Mingyu, the relationship between her aunt and sister-in-law is so good, and Wang Shizi is the most outstanding among the men in Kyoto, the facts are in front of you, see for yourself!

After the banquet, Xiao Yao took the initiative to ask to go home in the same car with Tong Mingyu, and she wanted to take a short time on the road to comfort her mother.

"You and I in a car." Seeing his daughter struggling to climb into the carriage of the big house, Yuan Yutong stopped him and said that he still wanted to ask his daughter and King Kong Xiaojun what was going on! She showed a resolute attitude that it was okay to leave her mother, but it was absolutely unacceptable to leave her sister.

She is not a stepmother, so that her biological daughter is so repulsed Yuan Yutong can only do to look at the sky speechlessly.

"How about Ruyi and Aunt go to Lingnan Palace?" This mother and daughter are so interesting, in the future, when the child enters the door of the Lingnan Palace, there is no need to worry about the dullness of the family, or he will stay in Kyoto to retire, so as not to go back to Lingnan and see the group of little goblins, the Lingnan princess thought beautifully.
