As for the young masters and young ladies who are called the Wei Guogong's mansion, they are actually all Wei Guogong's nephews and grandnieces - Wei Guogong, in order to let someone worship his son after his death, let out the wind a few years ago, he is not a stepson, and he wants to give his son a step-grandson and granddaughter.

Chen Luo nodded, confirming Wang Xi's conjecture, and said, "The only daughter of Wei Guogong married into the Tan family and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. And the eldest aunt and grandmother of the Tan family married into the Qingping Marquis Mansion. You should still have the impression that it is the seventh wife of the Wu family who is different. ”

"Ahh Wang Xi's eyes widened, feeling that the circle of the Meritorious Home in the capital was more complicated than she imagined, and she said carefully, "That Miss Tan, I should also know it." ”

She told Chen Luo the cousin surnamed Tan of the Wu family she met when she went to participate in Miss Wu's small time: "Is she ranked fourth in the Tan family, about the same age as the eldest lady of the Lu family." ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Luo was quite impressed by Miss Tan Si, and nodded: "It's her!" ”

Wang Xi was surprised and said, "Is there a bit of a big difference in their age?" ”

Chen Luo smiled: "There is no way to do it. If it weren't for the age difference, I'm afraid the emperor would still not agree to this family business. The woman is still young, so there is no need to be in such a hurry to get married. After all, the marriage of the second prince and the third prince has not yet been decided. ”

At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing: "I knew that the Tan family was also one of the emperor's candidates, but I didn't expect the emperor to marry her to the fourth prince. I thought that the emperor would choose one between her and the eldest lady of the Lu family to point to the Seventh Prince. ”

The Seventh Prince is fifteen years old this year, and whether it is Miss Lu or Miss Tan, they are all in the same age.

Wang Xi was a little worried when he heard this, and said, "Then will Miss Lu marry the Seventh Prince?" ”

She didn't think there was anything wrong with this marriage, but she just felt that if the Seventh Prince was really involved in the seizure of the heir, it would be riskier for Lu Ling to marry him. She likes Lu Ling very much, so naturally she doesn't want her to take risks.

Chen Luo spoke highly of Jiang Chuanbo, and said: "Don't worry, her father is a ruthless character, and he won't watch his daughter jump into the fire pit." ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Wang Xi.

Her jet-black hair, fair face, and smart eyes all gave her a kind of beauty that made him feel very special.

Now that the capital is in turmoil, the marriages of the children of the meritorious and powerful have all become bargaining chips and chess pieces, I hope she can stay out of the matter and avoid this catastrophe.

Chen Luo thought about it, and couldn't help but wonder why she took the initiative to come to Baishiqiao as a guest, and teased: "I thought I could save a meal, but you said that coming to Baishiqiao as a guest was just a social remark." ”

Of course, Wang Xi does have the mentality of socializing, but isn't this the impermanence of the world, Dr. Feng is out of Beijing? She didn't have a place to find a place to hang out, so she had to come to the White Stone Bridge!

But she felt a little embarrassed to say it so bluntly, and coughed? smiled: "We are all thinking about Alley? Just free? I'll just come and have a look. ”

Chen Luo didn't believe it at all.

Wang Xi happened to want Chen Luo to help inquire about something, and after thinking about it, he quietly told Chen Luo about the marriage between the Huang family and the Chang family? He also said, "How are your affairs resolved?" ”

She's asking Shi Zhu!

Chen Luo sneered? Said: "I should really thank you for this, I know what to do when I get the letter." She wants to influence Fuyang's marriage, and she is too self-righteous. I'm about to teach her a lesson? But? What to do exactly? Or is it almost the right time? Wait. ”

His topic naturally shifted to Chang Ke's marriage? said: "The family surnamed Huang is an official?" I don't know much about them, but it's easy to ask about them. Such a family is indeed not a good family, and there is nothing to regret if the marriage fails. What do you want me to inquire about? Do you want to give the Huang family a little hardship? ”

On this topic, Wang Xi and Chen Luo are consistent. She wrinkled her nose and said disdainfully, "That piece of shit? Whoever steps on who knows. Kill chickens with knives and cows? Invite you out to deal with them? I look down on them too much. I have other things to ask you. ”

He's usually a cold-hearted person? I don't know how much flattery I have heard since I was a child, and I don't know how many flattery I have heard since I was a child, and I don't know how many more wonderful things are more than this? He never believed it.

But Wang Xi's words made him very ironed, and he said with a pleasant face: "You say! ”

But he was silently planning in his heart, whether this matter was going down the knife mountain or over the fire, he would have to help her do it no matter what.

Wang Xi groaned: "I have always felt that this family business is very strange. And the matchmaker is still the wife of Jin Wuwei Zuodu Commander Shi Lei. The Yongcheng Hou Mansion has nothing to do with the Shi family, how could she suddenly come to be a matchmaker for the fourth sister, and she came to Xia Gengti, but she suddenly changed her hexagram. I just wanted to figure out what the hell was going on. ”

"What is this?" Chen Luo was a little disappointed when he heard this, and he said, "You wait for the news at home, at most tomorrow, I will have a letter here." ”

He does things, Wang Xi still believes it very much. She said: "When you see the fourth sister, don't say that you leaked your mouth, she has a bad face." ”

"Got it!" Chen Luo responded a little unhappily.

That day, he really got fresh bamboo mushrooms, chicken mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, etc., and as Wang Xi said, he made a bowl of assorted mushroom soup.

Wang Xi was very rare, and he drank two bowls before asking him, "Where did you get these mushrooms?" Especially this chicken liver mushroom, it is very difficult to find. I thought we would drink pike crab porridge at most today. ”

Chen Luo glanced at Wang Xi and said, "I went to the Qingping Marquis Mansion to ask for it." ”

Wang Xi was stunned.

Chen Luo seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, and said: "It's not that our family can't get it." But my mother had an accident eating mushrooms when she was young, and since then, there has been no mushroom in our family's recipes. I had no choice but to go to the Marquis of Qingping's mansion to beg for it. However, under your banner, I'm afraid you will have to repay this favor yourself. ”

"Chen Luo!" Wang Xi was so angry that he felt that this mushroom soup was not fresh.

The Qingping Marquis Mansion is full of big things, how can you go to people's homes to beg for mushrooms to eat? In the future, when the people of the Wu family talk about it, don't they think she is a foodie.

Chen Luo thought that when he went to the Qingping Marquis Mansion, he was pulled into the study by the seventh master of their family to inquire about the relationship between him and Wang Xi.

He remembered that the window lattice of the study was open, and the canna was open outside.

The seventh master of the Wu family said: "We never believe the rumors outside. Although the Yongcheng Hou Mansion is unreliable, I heard the second girl of our family say that the cousin of their family, surnamed Wang, is not bad. You live next door to their family, you tell me the truth, what is this girl's character? There are many men in our family, and there are several of them of the right age, and she can choose any one from our family. Our family must have three books, six ceremonies, and eight sedan chairs, and marry people back in a beautiful manner without ambiguity. ”

How did he answer at the time?

"People marry richly, let alone the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, I think that even if Wei Guogong married his daughter, she may not have more than half of her, if your family doesn't care, you might as well send someone to take a breath." Otherwise, don't harm others. What happened, could the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion still protect her? ”

The seventh master hesitated when he heard this.

But only he knows how worried and angry he is in his heart.

Yes, and anger.

In the eyes of many people, the Qingping Marquis Mansion is all iron-clad and bold men, but in Chen Luo's eyes, except for the Marquis of Qingping and the Seventh Master, they are all brave and unscrupulous men, let Wang Xi's delicate flower marry over...... A picture of flowers inserted in cow directly appeared in his mind!

This is simply not possible.

He hurriedly dispelled the little hesitation of the seventh master: "Besides, the Wang family is the biggest businessman in Shu, you can just inquire and know." Your family doesn't marry early, you don't marry late, but at this time you married such a cash cow, you say, if the emperor knew, what would he think? ”

The seventh master was really a little worried, but he should have heard something, even if he was worried, he was still unwilling to give up, and sneered: "That girl is not too big, and it can be delayed for a year or two, and when the marriage of several princes is decided, I think it will be nothing." ”

For the first time in his life, Chen Luo felt regret.

Knowing this, during the flower banquet in the palace, he should not have hinted that Wang Xi followed Lu Ling to warn the Qingping Marquis Mansion.

Well, they actually want to eat his bait.

What's the difference between this and taking food from his rice bowl?

He thought about what he had to think of to make the Wu family give up, but when he went to Su Tong to get the pike crab, he was absent-minded, and somehow brought Wei Huai to Baishiqiao.

The thought flashed, Chen Luo touched his chin, then Wei Huai is a side branch of the Wei State Mansion, can you do something on him?

Although Chen Luo hadn't thought of any good ideas for a while, he vaguely felt that this might be a solution.

He was happy again, and only then was he surprised to find that his heartstrings had been tense before, and there was no moment to relax.

*

Wang Xi and Chang Ke didn't go back until the time of the lantern, and they also brought two small baskets of dried chicken fir mushrooms.

"Chen Luo is simply a tyrannical thing." She got off the sedan chair, carried a basket of chicken fir fungus, and introduced it to Chang Ke with great interest, "This kind of fungus is very rare, it is said that it grows on the ant nest, and the price of such two baskets of chicken fir fungus is more than gold." It is delicious when made into chicken soup, fried with black fungus, and also delicious when made into sauce. Speaking of this, her saliva was about to flow out, "Let's make chicken fir mushroom sauce, shall we?" I remember when I was a kid and I ate my grandfather's scrambled egg rice with chicken fir mushroom sauce, and I still remember the taste. ”

She also rejoiced: "Fortunately, Chen Luo doesn't know how good this thing is, otherwise he would definitely be reluctant to give us these two baskets of chicken fir mushrooms." The Qingping Marquis Mansion was simply flattering and thrown to the blind, in vain. ”

Chang Ke couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't say it, Lord Chen, did he ask for it in your name?" Maybe the Qingping Marquis Mansion is looking at your face! ”

"yes!" Wang Xi was stunned, and suddenly felt that the small basket in his hand weighed a thousand pounds.

Chang Ke rarely saw that Wang Xi was also speechless, so he stepped forward and hugged her shoulder with a smile, and was about to make fun of her, when he saw her mother's personal grandmother panting and running over.

"Fourth Miss, Miss Table!" She respectfully saluted the two of them and said, "The third lady has asked the slave maid to wait for you two at the door since noon, you two can be regarded as coming back, come with me to meet the third wife!" ”
