Chapter 950: Revisited
When Wen heard Mrs. Wan re-mention the marriage proposal, he was still a little unable to come back to his senses.
She thought that this matter had been done a long time ago, Mrs. Wan couldn't see the concubine coming out, knowing that the Xie family had become the in-laws of the Yan Wangfu, and all her thoughts were spent on marrying her daughter to the Xie family's concubine, where did she remember the pairing of Wan Long and Xie Yingrong, the concubine and concubine? Wen also asked Xie Pu what to do, and Xie Pu thought that cold salad would do. Anyway, he just wanted to help Wan Long, a smart boy, and now that Wan Long has entered the Yanwang Mansion, it seems that Xiao Rui is still very important, and his future is guaranteed, so he will not be trapped at home and wasted. It's good to be able to marry, and it's okay not to be able to marry. He still thinks in his heart that the third daughter, Xie Yingrong, is not worthy of other people's smart children!
I didn't expect Mrs. Wan to have time to revisit the old proposal today.
Wen hesitated for a moment, thinking that her husband Xie Pu should be indispensable for this marriage, and would not object, so he asked Mrs. Wan rhetorically: "At the tea party in Yanwangfu before, you also mentioned this marriage to me." At that time, something went wrong, and you never mentioned it again, I thought you had changed your mind, why did you bring it up again today? β
Mrs. Wan was so sick that she pretended to be embarrassed on her face, and said with a smile: "This is not ...... There was such a big thing at the tea party, I patronized to watch the jokes between Mrs. Xu and the Zhou family, so I didn't take care of serious things?! Besides, it's almost Layue now, there are a lot of things to do in the next year, and the old man of the Zhou family is gone, let's just be busy with the big matter of his family, it's enough to worry about, where can we take care of anything else? Our family is not very old, and in another year and a half, there will be no delay, so I don't think about it. It's really slack, good sister, don't be angry with your sister Wan. β
Wen smiled, who has time to be angry with Mrs. Wan? She guessed that something must have happened behind this, otherwise Mrs. Wan would not ignore the fact that she had hinted that she was going to change her marriage, and bring up the marriage between Wan Long and Xie Yingrong again. After thinking about it, she asked tentatively: "Where did Sister Wan hear about General Zhu's family?" In fact, you don't have to worry, although his wife is interested, but the marriage is still up to us as parents. When the second old lady returned to Changping, she really just visited her relatives in the grave, and she didn't pay attention to other trivial matters in a hurry. β
Mrs. Wan was stunned, General Zhu's family? Who?
Seeing her dazed, Wen couldn't help but be surprised: "Sister Wan doesn't know? When General Zhu's wife came to sit down last time, weren't you there? I know that she thinks very highly of my family and wants to tell her daughter to Jinzhi. But now that he is concentrating on the imperial examination, he doesn't want to consider marriage for the time being. The second old lady in the family also meant this, so she didn't intend to urge him. Mrs. Zhu specially chased Changping for this, which was really unnecessary. β
Mrs. Wan reacted immediately. Wen Shi said that he had participated in the Yanwangfu tea party before, knew Xiao Rui's identity, knew that the Xie family and Yanwangfu had become in-laws, and intended to climb up to one of the daughters of the military attachΓ© family of the branch clan next to Yanwangfu. She had heard that Mrs. Zhu had taken her children to Changping a few days ago, and she was still muttering in her heart that it was freezing cold, what did his family go so far to do? It turned out that he went to the heir mother and second son of the political envoy Xie Bu! It's so cunning!
It's a pity that this woman is not as well-informed as their family, and I don't know that the second old lady Xie has the heart to marry the granddaughter of her in-laws to her grandson, so that the descendants of the second house can have the bloodline inheritance of their own husband and wife. If it weren't for this reason, Mrs. Wan would not have put her mind on Xie Xianzhi, you must know that Xie Jinzhi is the brother of the future princess of King Yan's concubine! Although Xie Xianzhi is the eldest son, he is separated from the princess of King Yan, and the bloodline of the Cao family, if it weren't for the sake of the princess of King Yan in the future, they would not have risked marrying their daughter in the Marquis of Pingchang!
Mrs. Wan knew that Mrs. General Zhu was in vain, so she secretly sneered, and turned around and used her as an excuse: "I've heard about this, and I know that other families are also anxious to marry Fushang!" I wasn't in a hurry, thinking that you and I were on good terms, and you could still lose me about this matter that I had said hello in advance? But seeing other people's families so attentive, I feel a little bottomless in my heart. Anyway, it's a matter of time, so it's better to settle it earlier in case you have too many dreams at night. Otherwise, there is not even a token between the two families, if there is an adult who is bent on the three girls in the house and wants to ask to marry, you can't say that the girl has been allowed out, isn't it difficult to do? I have been calling Beiping City since I came, and I am the best with you, how can I bear to look at you embarrassed?! "Search
Although Wen knew that what she said was not true, he could only smile and thank him.
Mrs. Wan left a Geng post in Bandung, and asked Wen to go to the temple tomorrow to offer incense, and by the way, she asked a senior monk to help read the eight characters, which was obviously urging people to give a reply. Although Wen felt that she was so anxious and a little weird, there must be some reason, but thinking that Xie Pu had already considered this marriage in detail, there was nothing to hesitate, so he did not refuse.
When Xie Pu went home in the evening, Wen told her husband about it by the way when she was eating, Xie Pu sneered: "I heard a little rumor, saying that Mrs. Wan was careless, or she didn't take it seriously, wrote Chonglin's identity in a letter to her family, sent it to the capital, and asked her family to publicize it to the outside world, so as to make profits for the family." The princess and princess were very angry, and the princess sent people to the palace and reprimanded her, and did not allow her to participate in various banquets in the palace again. Mrs. Wan is probably scared in her heart, and wants to coax our family to marry her, so that you can come out and plead with the princess! β
Wen Shi was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "How can this be?" She doesn't look like such a disproportionate person, does she? On that day, the princess repeatedly instructed that it should not be spread to the outside world, so she just told her family to talk about it, why did she still ask them to publicize it?! β
"God knows what she thinks? Maybe that's not a big deal, right? Xie Pu looked down on Mrs. Wan's style very much, "That is, the prince and princess are benevolent, for the sake of Senator Wan's honesty, and Chonglin appreciates Wan Long, he is willing to spare her, not to ask her to participate in the banquet, and not to ban her feet, this is already a small punishment and a big commandment!" She didn't want to stay at home honestly, reflect on her mistakes, and think of our family to cheat on marriage, this person's character is really unreliable! β
Wen frowned and thought for a moment before he said, "I think Mrs. Wan is just not smart enough and doesn't think about things well enough, not necessarily because she really has any bad intentions." Besides, we originally just took a fancy to the child in Bandung, not for Wanjia's family style. In the future, Wan Long will be the son-in-law of our family, and he will not stay in that house, so why should you meet her like her? β
Xie Pu sighed: "Having said that, the three girls are my own flesh and blood after all. When I think that she will marry into that kind of family in the future and serve such a mother-in-law with bad character, I can't help but hesitate. This marriage, we should think about it carefully. At least...... You have to ask the prince and princess what they mean first, so as not to offend their taboos. β
Wen felt that this also made sense. No matter what, Mrs. Wan offended the Yan Wangfu. Since the Xie family is the in-laws of the Yan Palace, of course, they have to take into account the feelings of their in-laws.
As the couple was talking, the voice of the girl reporting the news came from outside the door: "Master, wife, the third girl has come to say goodbye." β
Xie Pu was stunned for a moment and frowned. The couple had just started to eat dinner, what was the matter, it was not too late to talk about it after the meal, why did this child come running over at this time?
