Chapter 265: The Price
It wasn't until he saw the familiar figure entering the door that Tong Mingyu's heart gradually calmed down, and the maids brought the sour plum soup and seasonal fruits in the well water, and then retreated in turn after placing them.
Soon Xiao Jingkang and Xiao Jingmin's brothers found out that their wives were strange, their expressions and mannerisms were too different from those on weekdays, as if they had been knocked on the head with a stick and became sluggish.
Xiao Jingmin opened his mouth to ask what was wrong, and Yuan Yutong crackled and told what happened today.
The two men with daughters were stunned, and immediately stopped all movements as if they had been pointed. Xiao Jingtai exaggerated the teacup, the cup slipped from his hand and fell at Li Jiaoying's feet, cracking in response, a cup of tea spilled out, and neither of the couple was spared, and their bodies were wet. Did you have such a big reaction? I don't know, I think you're the girl's father!
"Let's go back and change our clothes." Li Jiaoying glared at her husband, this person didn't even say a word when he needed his help, but he was a good hand at causing trouble.
"Don't go back to change, it's troublesome, I have newly made clothes here that haven't been worn yet, just let the maid take you to change." Tong Mingyu called the maid and asked her to take the second brother and her family to the guest room to change clothes.
"Don't bring the new clothes that Ping An made for me to the second master." Xiao Jingkang was stunned, but he didn't forget to tell the maid who led the way.
If the family affair with King Jing's Mansion is really completed, the daughter can still live at home for more than a year, because Yun Yichen will be nineteen years old, and when his daughter and he will be twenty, how can the palace continue to wait, and he must marry his daughter-in-law back quickly!
If a boy of the same age as his daughter asks to marry, his family is embarrassed to delay it for a few years, but in the face of such a son-in-law who is already a little "old", this request is really difficult to speak.
After the six people sat down again, Xiao Jingmin opened his mouth first: "Ruyi let it go in advance, that King Minjun doesn't seem to be big, and it's not too late to make a decision after a year and a half of investigation." ”
Several people nodded together, Xiao Yuan's family affairs are indeed not in a hurry, the important thing is that Xiao Yao is here, and they have to find a way to come out, because what they need to face is not only King Jingfu, but also the old father who gives people a headache when they think about it.
"In the prospect of my father's birthday, the palace will not mention this matter again, even if they want to propose, they will not pick this time." Xiao Jingkang is sure that there is no reason for everyone in Kyoto to know that the old man is reluctant to give up his granddaughter, and they prefer to speak now, which makes people unhappy.
"What if...... I mean, what if they propose? Tong Mingyu, who has always been decisive, had slightly red circles in his eyes, and asked with a heartache, if there were only two of them and no one else at this moment, Tong Mingyu would probably have cried.
Xiao Jingkang knew in his heart that as long as King Jing's Mansion opened his mouth, this family affair would basically be a certainty. Others don't know the inside story, but they know very well, that kid has already hugged his daughter, and their marriage is the most suitable and most satisfying result for his daughter.
But it was still a little embarrassing for him to nod happily now, and Xiao Jingkang was also in a tangle at the moment and couldn't extricate himself.
"The eldest brother and sister-in-law put forward all our requirements, and the next time my cousin asks about the two children's relatives, I will go to Jingwangfu for a showdown, and they all agree to the best, if you don't agree, don't blame us." Yuan Yutong made his position clear in a few words, he was a member of the Xiao family.
"Don't elbow out." Xiao Jingmin mentioned it with some suspicion, and at the same time thought in his heart that he would go with him when the time came, so as not to let his wife be bought by her cousin.
Yuan Yutong glared at her husband angrily, she was already making her position clear when she said this, and her cousin and nephew together were not as important as her niece who grew up watching her! How can you doubt yourself! When I go back to Yiyuan tonight, I have to let this guy sleep in the study.
"I believe that my brother and sister's hearts are full of peace." Seeing that Yuan Yutong was really a little angry, Tong Mingyu hurriedly spoke.
This matter can only be like this for the time being, and after discussing the countermeasures on a small scale, he did not dare to let the old marquis hear the rumors, nor could he say that he could tell the Qin family, who was extremely excited when he heard the royal people. The child has to be tight-lipped, otherwise the boy will ask to find Yun Yichen to fight alone (it would be better if he can beat him in a group), and the girl ...... I really can't think of how the two children will react.
In the days that followed, Tong Mingyu strictly forbade the two girls to go out, and Mama Ruan gave them a new course on various survival skills in the mansion and how to prevent those dirty methods. The little sisters heard drowsy every day, if they had changed their master to talk about these Xiao Yuan would have boycotted the class a long time ago, but she didn't dare in front of Mama Ruan.
"Auntie! If I continue to talk about it, I don't even dare to go out of the door, I feel like there are a lot of bad people peeping around, and I have to think about what is in it when I drink soup, it's too torturous, and there are no messy people in our family, so let's not take this lesson, okay? ”
"If you don't learn now, when will you learn? Will you learn again when you fall for someone else's scheme? I'm telling you it's too late. Yuan Yutong patted off her daughter's hand holding her sister-in-law's arm, Ping An has always been cautious, and her sister-in-law is not at ease! What's more, this delicious and delicious girl in her own family.
If Ping'an's son-in-law can't be recruited, her daughter can't enjoy this privilege exclusively, and with her identity and background, even if she doesn't marry the king of Minjun, she will marry into a wealthy family, and she doesn't have to learn how to do this.
Mama Ruan is bound to follow Ping'an in the future, how can her daughter rest assured! It seems that she needs to find a separate grandmother, where should she find it? Let's ask Mama Ruan's opinion first.
Xiao Yao is so happy that she doesn't have to go out, the portrait she embroidered for her grandfather is nearing the end, this work that has been prepared for a year since last winter, poured all her efforts and feelings, and now it is finally about to be completed, I believe that my grandfather will like it.
Embroider a bust portrait for each of the grandmother and father, and if the others can only embroider the head, nothing else can be agreed. Because he owes Yun Yichen a dress, he hasn't embroidered it himself for a long time, and it will definitely be a trouble if that guy knows about it.
Take advantage of not going out now to hurry up, strive to embroider the belt first, and then embroider the pattern on the body, this dress is laborious, and when Yun Yichen gets married, he will go to watch the ceremony and see what the dress looks like on the bride, but unfortunately there is no camera, if anything, he will also take pictures of the beautiful bride.
Yun Yichen didn't know Xiao Yao's strange thoughts, if he knew, he would have to vomit, let him go and find an identical little girl.
He was busy preparing to make an appointment with his future father-in-law, if it weren't for his father being too busy, it didn't seem solemn enough to make an appointment by himself, Yun Yichen would have already taken action.
"The prince of the sea in the Fengxiang Palace asks to see him." Xiao Anzi gently knocked on the door of Yun Yichen's study, and waited for a while to listen to the sound inside before daring to reach out and push the door. Xiao Anzi doesn't have to guess to know what Shizi is doing in the study, those were originally gifts from Miss Xiao's family to others, and they will be placed on Shizi's desk every few days, and he knows it in his heart, but his eyes must pretend not to see, so as not to embarrass the master.
"Hmm!" Everything else was taken back by him, and Yun Yichen only rubbed the small sachet with his fingers in his sleeve. He couldn't remember how many years the sachet had been hidden in his sleeve, and the string was about to break, and the edges were sharpened in several places...... After confirming the name with the little girl, she had to embroider a purse for herself.
Are you letting people in or not letting people in! Xiao Anzi quietly waited for Yun Yichen to return to "normal", and he didn't dare to come out.
"Ask him what's the matter." After a long time, Yun Yichen opened his mouth slowly, Xiao Anzi let out a long breath, and this one finally spoke.
"The slave has seen the prince, the queen mother has a decree, ordering you to escort the queen mother and her old man to the royal temple to pray for the blessing of the country and pray for peace charms for the emperor and the prince." The person who came was the new head of Fengxiang Palace, Gonggong Hai, who was previously relegated to the cold palace by King Jing when he took advantage of the Queen Mother's illness, and died in less than half a year.
"Got it, you go back to your life!" The imperial grandmother has already said that she is going to pray for blessings, but she refused? I don't know how long she wants to live in the temple, but don't delay to celebrate the old man's birthday, it seems that the appointment to meet the future father-in-law is going to be postponed again, when will she be famous! Bah! It's right!
When King Jing returned, he came back with another piece of news.
"Did you say that only the imperial grandmother took Han Yueting and Yun Ruoxing this time?" Yun Ruonan asked in surprise, she didn't need King Jing to explain anymore, she already smelled a smell of conspiracy.
I just showed my attitude to the Xiao family here, and I accompanied someone else's young lady on a trip, so what did the Xiao family think!
"I'll find someone to accompany me." Isn't the Han family still dead? When I came back, I had to let the Han family understand how firm the determination of King Jing's Mansion was to reject their family.
"Be careful!" Yin Qianhua clenched her fists with both hands, she and her mother's family were killed so badly by the Han family, will her son repeat the same mistakes again?
King Jing held his wife's slightly cool hand, he believed that his son could handle this matter well, as long as he knew in his heart what he valued and cared about, it was good that he was about to marry a daughter-in-law, how could he not even handle such a trivial matter.
"If I can go with Ping'an...... the mother concubine can rest assured, and my brother doesn't have to worry about the Xiao family's misunderstanding, Yun Ruonan doesn't care what she is in the eyes of the imperial grandmother, she just wants to help.
King Jing and Yun Yichen shook their heads together, King Jing was reluctant to let his daughter be wronged. Yun Yichen didn't want to see Xiao Yao breathe in a low voice, even if he couldn't let the person he liked be above all women, he must not let her live by looking at other people's faces.
As long as I am there, I will try to avoid the little girl and the imperial grandmother from meeting, as for the others, hum! It's okay for the little girl to make her angry, but if others want to bully her, she must be prepared to pay twice the price.
