Chapter 603: Engagement (3)
Speaking of what was in the court, Qingshu couldn't help but sigh: "If a few princes are vassals, the capital can be peaceful." Otherwise, the prince has an accident, and we will not have a peaceful life. ”
She remembered very well that after the beginning of spring next year, the prince's two sons suffered accidents one after another, and the prince couldn't bear the pain of losing his son twice in a row and died.
As soon as the crown prince died, several princes fought to the death for the position of the prince, and in the end, even the drama of forcing the palace was staged. And most of the courtiers were also involved, and a lot of people died.
Fu Jingene said: "This is not something we can manage. You don't have to worry, Lord Lin has already been released, and no matter how much it happens, it won't affect you. ”
He knew that Qingshu and Lin Chengyu had a bad relationship, but no matter how bad the relationship was, it was father and daughter. If there's something Qingshu can't escape, it's good now.
At this moment, Lin Fei knocked on the door outside, and then brought in a pot of rose tea and pea cake.
Fu Jingene took a sip of tea, looked at Qingshu and said tentatively: "Miss Lin, after the Tong test next year, I will ask the matchmaker to come to the door to propose." ”
Qingshu said: "For the sake of safety, let's wait for the township test later!" ”
Next year's township test will be in September, and after waiting for the township test, we will have to wait for more than nine months. After such a long time, who knows what will happen. Inevitably dreaming a lot at night, Fu Jingene said: "Miss Lin, I'm not afraid." Besides, I'm basically in Baitan Academy, even if King Qin wants to harm me, I don't dare to be in the academy! ”
Once exposed, those scholars will spit on him, and the position of prince will be completely lost to him.
Qingshu hummed and said, "Okay, after the exam, you can come home first." After my grandmother has seen you, you can let the matchmaker come to the door! ”
After receiving an affirmative reply, Fu Jingene smiled like a second fool: "Okay, good, I listen to you." ”
Qingshu couldn't bear to look at him stupidly, and said, "I've been here for a long time, and I have to go back." ”
Fu Jingene wanted to talk to Qingshu again, but he also knew the severity: "Then you should be careful." ”
Qingshu bought the book and went home.
Now that it's cold, the old lady doesn't go out, so as long as she is free, she and An An will accompany her.
Back at home, Qingshu looked at the two carriages parked at the door, which were full of things.
The person at the head knew Qingshu and was Shen Shaozhou's henchman Xiang Qian: "On this cold day, you hurry into the house and drink hot soup to warm up, and I will let others unload the things on the carriage." ”
Xiang Qian naturally had no objections, and he handed a small package to Qingshu: "This is what the master asked the eldest girl to give." ”
Qingshu took the package back to the backyard.
The package contained another letter and four boxes. These boxes contain rubies, sapphires, pearls, and brilliant diamonds.
I have to say that Shen Shaozhou is a very generous person. The gems he gave to the sisters could make many sets of jewelry, and the other things he gave were also very valuable.
These things were divided equally between the two sisters, and they didn't pick Qingshu and directly pulled out half of them to An An.
After reading the letter, Mrs. Gu happily said to the two sisters: "Your mother said that after the spring of next year, she will come to the capital with Shaozhou. ”
Hearing this, Qing Shu asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
As long as Gu Xian's temperament is fine, she won't come to the capital, I just hope it's not a trouble.
Old Madam Gu said, "It's a good thing. Mrs. Huo acted as a matchmaker and told Shen Zhan about the nine girls of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion. This time, I came to discuss family affairs. ”
An An couldn't help but say when she heard this: "The girl from the Xiangyang Hou Mansion can't get married?" Otherwise, how could it be promised to Shen Zhan? ”
didn't mention Shen Zhan's temperament, just said that he was a merchant, and he didn't study, and he didn't have a reputation, and ordinary officials and eunuchs would not marry their daughters to her. Not to mention the hereditary Xiangyang Marquis Mansion.
Qing Shu was very familiar with the affairs of the Xungui family in the capital, thought for a while and said: "The ninth girl of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion is the concubine of the fourth master of Xu, her aunt died of childbirth when she gave birth to her brother, and not long after the fourth master Xu also died in an accident. As soon as Master Xu Si passed the seventh and seventy-seventh, Mrs. Xu Si remarried. ”
This nine girls are an orphan girl with no father and mother, and they are not raised by the old lady, so it is really difficult to say that they are close to each other in this identity. At least the fastidious people are reluctant to have such a daughter-in-law.
"The husband remarried after the first seven, and these four ladies are too unkind."
Qing Shu glanced at her and said, "Don't jump to conclusions if you don't understand the ins and outs of things in the future." The relationship between Mrs. Xu Si and Master Xu Si is very bad, if Master Xu Si has no accident, the two should also be reconciled. ”
So after people have finished guarding Qiqi, they are already very benevolent.
An An snorted and said, "Sister, is this Xiangyang Hou Mansion going to sell these nine girls?" ”
Qingshu shook his head and said: "The Xiangyang Hou Mansion also has shares in Huo Ji Commercial Bank, and it can also receive a large amount of dividends every year. ”
Since the Xu family is rich, it is impossible to do such a shameless thing as betraying a woman.
Old Madam Gu glanced at Qingshu and said, "What your mother and Uncle Shen mean is that we can help inquire about the temperament of this ninth girl and see if we can get along." ”
An An quit: "They won't send someone to inquire themselves?" If you don't have a good inquire, Shen Zhan will not have a good time in the future, won't you and your sister have to blame. ”
With her mother's temperament, it's really possible.
Qingshu didn't want to worry about it, but she still said: "Uncle Shen is good to us, and it's not a difficult thing. ”
Over the years, I have got so many good things from Shen Shaozhou, and I can't help it at all.
An An pouted, but didn't say anything against it. Although he didn't like Shen Zhan and had a lot of opinions about her mother, Shen Shaozhou really didn't have anything to say about the two sisters.
Qingshu said to An An: "I remember that you still have a few articles to write, hurry up and write them." ”
An An went out with a bitter face.
Old Madam Gu said: "Qingshu, you can't follow An An in everything in the future, if she doesn't change her temperament, she will suffer a big loss in the future." ”
Qingshu didn't want to discuss this topic, so he replied vaguely: "I have already told him, and I will come to see you when Tong finishes the test." ”
Old Madam Gu was instantly attracted to attention, and she hurriedly asked, "Qingshu, how does the child look?" What about temperament? ”
I didn't ask any of this last time.
"Very good-looking, a little temperamental." Qingshu smiled and said, "Grandma, he knows martial arts, and his martial arts are better than mine." ”
Old Madam Gu was very happy: "It doesn't matter if you can study martial arts, I can't match you anymore." ”
If Lin Chengyu was to think that Fu Jingene's family background was too poor, but Mrs. Gu didn't care about this, because Mrs. Gu started from scratch back then.
In the afternoon, Jiang Fangfei gave Qing Shu a small box the size of a palm: "This was sent by Young Master Fu just now." ”
Qing Shu looked at the unique mark of Zhenpinzhai on the box, and said with a smile: "The next time I see him, tell him that I can't finish wearing my jewelry, don't waste money." ”
Jiang Fangfei said with a smile: "Girl, how can what you have be the same as what Young Master Fu sent?" ”
He has always felt that Qingshu and Fu Jingene are a good match. Now that the two of them have really become adults, he couldn't be happier.
"The next time you see him, just tell him this, what a lot."
After speaking, Jiang Fangfei was driven out.
Qingshu opened the box and saw that it was an eight-treasure jade peony hairpin.
took out the hairpin and looked at it carefully, Qingshu inserted it into the hair, and then took it in the mirror and looked at it: "It's pretty good." ”
