Chapter 289: Door-to-door propose
Yao Zhu stood outside the door, and when she saw her come out, she was a little excited, and she lowered her voice and replied: "Mrs. Hui, it is Mrs. Wuchang who came today, and she is accompanied by King Huai'an and Doctor Zhang. ”
When she said this, she whispered again: "The slave maid looked at Mrs. Wuchang Marquis, and she said that she was talking for King Huai'an." ”
Hearing Yaozhu's words, Zhuang Yuelan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. I heard my daughter confide in herself, and the next moment this person who admired her came to the door to propose marriage, if it weren't for Zhuang Yuelan knowing her daughter's character, I am afraid that she would suspect that this was planned by the two.
However, is it Mrs. Wuchang who came?
Zhuang Yuelan frowned and thought for a while, before she could barely remember her family history.
Yes, speaking of which, this Mrs. Wuchang Hou and the former queen Feng Wan were born to the same mother, and the king of Huai'an wanted to call her an aunt. And this Marquis of Wuchang has both children and daughters, grandchildren and grandchildren, and his identity is precious and blessed, and he is the serious aunt of King Huai'an, so she came to talk about the past.
It's just that ordinary people come to propose, for the sake of safety, they all reveal some meaning to each other first, and if it is really suitable, then invite someone with the right identity to come to the door to say goodbye. This King of Huai'an is good, he invited Mrs. Wuchang Hou for the first time today, and this identity is probably a bit precious.
Zhuang Yuelan thought so in her heart, and quietly glanced at Qin Huaiyu, who was sitting in the middle of the room drinking tea, sighed, and ordered her subordinates: "You serve the good lady, Mama Zhuang, you come with me." ”
After all, people come to the door, and she, as the housewife, is not easy to dry.
Mama Zhuang answered and went with Zhuang Yuelan. And Yao Zhu and the others stayed to serve Qin Huaiyu.
However, when looking at the eldest lady, Yao Zhu silently recited a good blessing in her heart.
These days, since the Zhenguo Mansion revealed a little bit of the intention of choosing a marriage for the eldest lady, there are indeed many people who come to propose or tempt them. Among them, there are countless high-ranking officials and nobles. It's just that if you talk about your noble status, no one can surpass the one who came here today.
You know, this is the king of Huai'an!
Compared with the joy on the girl's face, Qin Huaiyu looked much more indifferent.
It wasn't until the footsteps outside the door faded away that she put down the teacup in her hand. When the blue and white porcelain tea cup was placed on the table, it made a slight noise, and it contained half a bowl of tea, because of this amplitude rippled in circles.
She almost believed what she said to her mother. If it weren't for the fact that her marriage contract with Gu Mingyuan was indeed what he asked for help, she would be able to keep the last bit of sanity.
But Rao was like this, hearing Yaozhu's words through the door at that moment still made Qin Huaiyu's heart beat violently for a moment.
He...... Got married?
And just when she was about to forget about this ridiculous deal, she invited someone of such a noble status.
Even if it was an impossible transaction, Gu Mingyuan still gave her the respect she deserved.
Thinking of this, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but sigh.
I have to say that Gu Mingyuan's proposal today is still very grand, in addition to bringing enough gifts and other things needed, Mrs. Wuchang Marquis who invited her is also a very important lady of the family in Beijing.
Even he himself took Zhang Chenglin to the door together.
Naturally, Zhuang Yuelan also wanted to get his purpose, and took Zhang Chenglin to move Qin Yi.
However, because of the relationship between the male guests, Gu Mingyuan and Zhang Chenglin had already been invited to Qin Yi's study together at this time.
Gu Mingyuan is counting the days, today is Qin Yi Xiumu, he has not gone out in the house, but he can see them at this time.
When Zhuang Yuelan arrived at the main hall, Mrs. Wuchang Hou was sitting in a precarious position, her eyebrows and eyes were calm, and she was dignified.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, she turned around and saw that it was Zhuang Yuelan, so she got up and said with a smile: "Long time no see, how is the Duchess of Zhenguo?"
After the two smiled and greeted each other, Zhuang Yuelan said again: "It's really a shame to work for you to run." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Wuchang immediately smiled and waved her hand: "I am very happy to walk around for such a happy event." ”
She is in her forties, her face is still charming, and her eyebrows and eyes are amiable when she smiles, which adds a lot to her appearance.
I have to say that the character of Mrs. Wuchang Marquis makes her popularity in Beijing also excellent.
Zhuang Yuelan didn't have much contact with her before, but she also knew her temperament, and she got along well.
Today, the two of them said a few words, and Mrs. Wuchang Hou turned to the topic: "Since I came to know, the princess of the Zhenguo Mansion has a good way to teach the daughter, and the eldest lady is very dignified and courteous. ”
When Zhuang Yuelan heard this, she curled her lips and smiled: "The little girl is rude, and it is all the lady who praises it." When she said this, she changed her words and asked, "It's just that I don't know where the little girl got into the eyes of the prince, and he is like this." ”
This is indeed the doubt in her heart, after all, Qin Huaiyu kept saying that the two had no personal relationship. It's only been a long time, why did one suddenly say that he liked each other, and the other came directly to the door to propose?
And compared with the tentative attitude of other families, this King of Huai'an directly invited Mrs. Wuchang to come. It's not that it's bad, it's just that the Marquis of Wuchang has a noble status, and the King of Huai'an is a nobleman of Tianhuang, today he came with such fanfare, who would dare to rob people with him?
I'm afraid that if the news spreads today, no one will dare to come to propose marriage.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Yuelan was a little unhappy. If she wants her daughter to marry into the royal family, she is a thousand and ten thousand unwilling. After all, if it is a low-income family, with the support of father and brother, no one dares to despise their daughter. But the other party is the prince, the monarch and the minister are like the difference between the clouds and mud, and if the daughter is wronged in the future, who will dare to give her a head?
This is also the reason why she was worried that Qin Huaiyu would have something to do with Gu Mingyuan, only this one delicate girl, she really didn't want her daughter to suffer half of the grievances.
Mrs. Wuchang Hou is also a mother, so she doesn't understand Zhuang Yuelan's worries. Thinking of what Gu Mingyuan said when he went to find her the day before yesterday, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Madame, don't be arrogant, what kind of upbringing is the girl of the Qin family, is it possible that I don't know." is the king of Huai'an, to say a big word, he grew up with me, his temperament and appearance are first-class in the world, and he is not a person who does not enter the stream. As for why he fell in love with Miss Qin, it was a young Mu Ai, but one thing you can rest assured that Changqing is a measured child, he is polite and polite, and he is by no means a disciple of Meng Lang. ”
When she said this, she said: "There are some things that I shouldn't have said, you see that he won the title of prince at a young age, and he is a golden and noble person, but in fact he is also a poor child." He is pure and kind in his heart, without those arrogant and lascivious problems, if Miss Qin really marries, he will definitely not be wronged. I can vouch for that. ”
