Chapter 954: Messenger
The next day, Mrs. Wan came to Xie's house again.
Wen is asking someone to inquire about the gentleman who can read eight characters, how could he agree to Mrs. Wan so quickly? Although she was originally a soft person, she had followed her husband to be the head of the house in the past few years, and she had also experienced it, so she couldn't bear it without asking Mrs. Wan to hold it. Mrs. Wan grinded her for a long time, and when she saw that she still refused to let go, she suspected that she knew about being reprimanded by Princess Yan, so she hesitated and didn't know whether she should accept it. Since she couldn't get the desired result if she continued to stay, Mrs. Wan had to leave in a huff.
She was worried that if other people knew about her affairs, how would she gain a foothold in the circle of official wives in the future? I didn't notice that a big girl who followed her out had contact with the girl of the Xie family in private.
In the evening, Wan Long returned home from the Yanwang Mansion and went to greet his grandmother first. He had other plans in his heart, and when he replied, he specially mentioned it, saying that his errand today was to give the county lord to be his entourage, so he went home earlier than usual, not because he was lazy and left early, Yunyun.
As soon as Mrs. Wan heard the word "county lord", she sighed in her heart, and her face drooped. She opened her mouth and wanted to scold, but she was afraid that others would hear that Wan Long might catch up with the county lord of Yanwang Mansion and spread the news to her husband Wan Senator's ears, so she endured her anger and said with a dark face: "Since it's okay, it's better to go home early, don't wander around outside, and do those shady things!"
"You are also older, I am discussing with Mrs. Xie next door these days, and I want to ask you to marry the third girl of the Xie family as your daughter-in-law. The girl's father is now a dignified political envoy, if you can really promise to marry your daughter, you will have taken a great road of luck! On weekdays, when I was free, I went to the Xie family to offer my courtesy, and stammered with the young masters of the Xie family. And the young master you are waiting in the Yanwang Mansion is also the son-in-law of the Xie family, you can please others more, and ask them to say good things for you in front of Lord Xie, maybe Lord Xie will look at you and agree to get married. ”
Wan Long deliberately showed a hesitant expression: "This ...... Why didn't my wife mention this before? This also ...... It's so sudden! I heard that the three girls of the Xie family were born to their aunts? It's just that the aunt's background is not very decent. ”
Mrs. Wan suspected that he thought that he had hope of climbing to the county lord of Yanwang's Mansion, so she thought that the concubine of the political envoy was not decent enough, so she immediately scolded back: "The marriage event is naturally the order of the parents, do you still need to mention it to you?!" People are the daughters of political envoys, and some people are willing to ask for marriage, and the lord and I are cheeky enough to open your mouth for you, and you still don't like it?! What about my aunt's birth? Didn't you give birth to your aunt? Do you really think of yourself as a character?! With a curse, he threw the teacup over and drove the person out of the room.
Mrs. Wan made up her mind that this matter could not be delayed any longer! In any case, we have to settle his marriage before this wins the favor of the lord of the palace!
She didn't know that when Wan Long left the main room, the expression on her face immediately changed and she relaxed a lot. Because he knows that with his deliberate pretentiousness today, the marriage must be nine out of ten. It's just that when he went to say goodbye to his biological mother, Aunt Wang, in a happy mood, he learned an unexpected news.
Aunt Wang handed him a densely sealed letter: "This was quietly sent by Qiu Yue, saying that when she followed her wife to Xie's house next door today, a girl secretly stuffed it into her hand." It's not the Aunt Jin who gave birth to the third girl, nor is it the Shunxin girl who has always followed Aunt Jin to find the autumn moon. This girl claimed to be called Ruyi, and she was also the big girl next to Miss Xie San, who was ordered by her master to deliver the secret letter. Qiu Yue said that when she saw this Ruyi appearance, she seemed to be avoiding Aunt Jin, and she didn't know what was important in the letter. ”
Wan Long took the letter and tore it up, took out the letter paper and looked at it: "It is indeed Miss Xie San's handwriting." ”
The content of the letter is not good news, Mrs. Wan went to the door to propose, Mrs. Xie did not refuse, and also agreed to go to the temple where Mrs. Wan found a good place to ask the eight characters, it seems to be going through the procedure, but because the host said that Xie Yingrong and Wan Long's eight characters match too well, Mrs. Xie became suspicious, afraid that Mrs. Wan had made up the approval document for the people who had visited the temple in advance, so she planned to find another reliable famous person to look at the eight characters, and now she refused to agree to the family affair.
Xie Yingrong also told the truth that she had already expressed her heart to her father Xie Pu, and her father should agree to come down depending on the situation. But if the results of the eight characters are not satisfactory, the results may not be as the two of them wish. Xie Yingrong asked Wan Long, what are you going to do? He also said that this matter was probably more urgent, and asked him to think of a way.
Wan Long frowned and put the letter away again, thought about it, and then told Aunt Wang about the contents.
Aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this: "I see." It's all a small thing. Ordinary people are pro-family, and it is common to look at the eight characters, and there are few who can't get along, but it's just a formality. That Mrs. Xie is kind, even if she is proposing marriage to her concubine, she is not willing to fool her, this is the creation of your little couple. When Mrs. Xie's husband gave a good result, the matter was resolved, and there was nothing to worry about. ”
Wan Long thought for a while: "If there is really nothing to worry about, why does Miss Xie San mention this matter again?" Isn't there something else in it? ”
Aunt Wang's face changed slightly when she heard this: "Won't it?" What could be the reason? She quickly came up with a not-so-good inference, "Could it be this Miss Xie San...... Her birthday is not very good, unlucky? I heard that she is not very favored at home, but Mrs. Xie doesn't seem to treat her concubines and concubines harshly, so how can she treat her badly? Could it be that her life is not very good?! ”
She grabbed her son's hand worriedly: "Brother Long, this matter should not be neglected!" We'll have to figure it out, too! Although this marriage is very beneficial to you, if there is anything bad about this girl, if she marries in the future, it will bring you tired, and it will be boring to be reluctantly married. You already have a good errand over there in the Yan Wangfu anyway, so you don't necessarily have to go to Lord Xie's family. With your talents, as long as the prince is willing to use you, are you still afraid that you will not be able to marry a woman from a good family in the future?! ”
Wan Long knew that his birth mother was worried about him, but it was not that simple. If you miss the three girls of the Xie family, based on his background, I am afraid that it will be difficult to marry a girl with a better family background in this life! Whether he can get ahead in the Yanwang Mansion or not, he can't rely on his own talents. What's more, King Yan attaches equal importance to martial arts and does not favor any side, but he has no fame, no civil servant, no skills, and no martial arts, so what else can he rely on to get ahead? !
He comforted his biological mother and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I know this matter in my heart." No matter who Mrs. Xie is looking for, I have to think of someone who has the ability to help me and Miss Xie San. If the result is good, then I naturally have nothing to worry about, just wait for the good news from my wife. If the result is not good...... Anyway, I have to prepare in advance, and I can always find a way to deal with it......"
