Chapter 9: Marriage

"Is it him?" Aunt Mei frowned, faintly worried.

Mrs. Zhang said: "It is indeed the prince of King Fu, the old slave has inquired carefully, and the people in the Bamber Mansion all said that the prince of King Fu is not absurd, but his temperament is a little out-of-tant, and he treats people quite kindly, not bad." ”

Zhou Shi drank coldly: "Let's talk about the point!" ”

Mrs. Zhang shrank in fright, and said concisely: "The prince of King Fu is not here to choose a wife, he has already made a marriage in the capital." I heard that he came here this time, in fact, for another family matter. ”

Zhou and Aunt Mei glanced at each other, both a little confused: "For whom?" ”

It is definitely not an ordinary person's family affair to let the prince of Fu Wang run all the way from the capital to Qiucheng and make trouble this time.

The old slave didn't inquire, and this news was still a letter delivered by the old slave's in-laws at risk. Madam, the in-laws of the old slave's family happened to be on an errand in the Bamber Mansion, and he knew a little bit about it. ”

Mrs. Zhang pinched the tips of her fingers and made an exaggerated gesture: "If people know this, maybe the old slave's relatives and his family will be kicked out." ”

Zhou said lightly: "You bother, go to the account room to get twenty taels of silver to reward your relative." ”

Mrs. Zhang thanked her for her kindness, and passed on another message with a smile: "Then Miss Liang Er's fall into the water has also been inquired clearly, and it is really to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix." The prefect of Liang bribed the subordinates of the Banbo Mansion, and took advantage of the fact that the prince of Fuwang was playing by the lotus pond to enjoy the coolness, and deliberately led Miss Liang Er over and pretended to fall into the water.

originally hoped that the prince of Fuwang would be able to save her, and Lai would also rely on it, and she must achieve a good marriage, but she never thought that she would be calculated. It was neither the prince of Fu nor the people around him who rushed to save people, but the descendants of the Ban family.

People didn't touch her, they pulled it up with a bamboo pole, but the Liang family thought that they couldn't make a fool of themselves in vain, so they had to ask the Ban family for an explanation. The Ban family naturally refused, Miss Liang Er shouted that she wanted to commit suicide, and was coaxed and frightened by the Ban family, and in the middle of the night last night, Liang Zhifu and his wife took people home in a gloomy manner, and they didn't dare to make a noise. This is called lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, you deserve it! ”

Zhou didn't mean to gloat, but only asked: "Did Governor Liang go to the yamen on time this morning?" ”

Mrs. Zhang has been following her for many years, and she has long been familiar with her routines, and replied calmly: "If you go back to your wife, Governor Liang went to the yamen as usual this morning, and it was a moment earlier than the master. I heard that he was laughing with his colleagues as usual, and his expression was as usual. ”

"Go ahead, think about figuring out who the prince of Fu is looking at for his relatives." Zhou sent Mrs. Zhang away, frowned and asked Aunt Mei: "Xue Qing, is there such a character in Qiucheng?" ”

Aunt Mei was very dazed: "The concubine doesn't go out every day, and she doesn't know what is going on outside." ”

"Yes." Zhou thought for a long time, and said quickly: "Could it be him?!" ”

"Who?" Aunt Mei rarely saw Zhou's gaffe, and her heartbeat immediately accelerated, and she was inexplicably a little more worried.

"No, it can't be." Zhou denied the speculation just now: "King Fu is the younger brother of Jinshang, and it is impossible to wade through this troubled water." ”

Aunt Mei breathed a sigh of relief again, and when she saw that Zhou refused to elaborate, she didn't ask, but said, "The news brought back by Steward Zhang was specially released by the Bamber Mansion, right?" ”

Zhou said approvingly: "Exactly." Although his family is considered a relative of the emperor, he can't offend all the local gentry. Releasing this news can be regarded as an explanation to everyone, so that everyone knows in their hearts. ”

Aunt Mei was faintly worried: "In this way, I'm afraid that the candidate has been decided, and the matter is almost done." Among the girls who went yesterday, there were a few of the best. ”

Originally, Liang Yanqiu was quite good, but he killed himself, and the rest, the most outstanding ones belonged to Tan Ruyi and Miss Qi San.

They are all descendants, both talented and good-looking, and have good character, the Tan family is an official, but the Qi family is the richest man in the local area.

Yesterday, in addition to sending a large basket of spiced melon seeds, the Ban family also sent a number of snacks and delicate gadgets, saying that they were brought from the capital, and they were fresh.

Thinking about it like this, it seems that Tan Ruyi is more likely to be selected.

"My concerns are similar to yours." Zhou rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "So I said that the third girl is shrewd on the outside, but she is actually very stupid, you look at her, she is such a big person, and she can still break herself after breakfast." ”

Aunt Mei didn't take this well, so she only comforted: "Or maybe we think too much." ”

"You have to plan ahead. It's not that you don't know who our master is, as long as you can climb up, you can sell anything. Liang Zhifu is ruthless, there is such a big thing in the family, and it can be so casual, we Tan Tongzhi has encountered a prickly hand. Behold, there will be a fierce fight between them lately, either you die or I die. Zhou hooked the corners of his lips, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

Aunt Mei looked out the window in silence and did not comment.

There was a girl's laughter outside the door, Tan Ruyi and Tan Youyou walked in hand in hand, followed by the fourth lady Tan Ruhui and the sixth miss Tan Ruyu.

The girls have inherited the advantages of their parents, and the flowers and bones are as beautiful and moving, and they have their own characteristics.

Tan Ruyi is bright and proud, Tan is soft and pure, Tan Ruhui is glamorous and charming, Tan Ruyu is delicate and lovely.

The Zhou family does not have children, and several girls are dressed up brightly, squatting and saluting together, which looks very eye-catching.

Zhou called them up and asked Tan Ruyi first: "How are you?" ”

Tan Ruyi sneered: "Fifth sister has a kind of pill to eliminate food, which is very easy to use." ”

Zhou glanced at her, and then asked Tan Youyou with a pleasant face: "What are you playing?" ”

Tan Youyou smiled: "The fourth sister invited us to play in her room, and said that there were no snacks, so we came to ask my wife to ask for something delicious." ”

Tan Ruhui twisted the veil and lowered her head, and whispered uneasily: "Actually, my aunt prepared some, but the fifth sister said that it was too little, not enough for her to eat......"

It seems that Tan Youyou is very picky and doesn't know what to do, but in fact, he is jealous and wants to take eye medicine.

Tan Ruyi and Tan Ruyu neatly turned their heads to look at Tan Youyou, wondering how she would fight back.

Because the biological mothers are different, the children of the Tan family know how to judge when they can meddle in the queue and when they should not mix indiscriminately from an early age.

For example, today's matter, if Tan Ruyi and Tan Ruyu are eventful, they can immediately rise from a matter between children to a conflict between several wives and concubines.
