Chapter 148: Old Knowledge
Wang Xi felt that there was such a thing as the Huang family, and Chang Ke's marriage was better to let it go, and he must not agree to anyone's marriage because of anxiety or gas blockage. But Lu Ling, this little girl, is different from others, she treats people sincerely, and her actions are also very trustworthy. What's more, she also mentioned that this matter can make her grandmother come forward, which is even more reliable.
"Tell me, whose son?" She hurriedly pulled Lu Ling into the flower hall and said, "If it's really suitable, I'll make the decision, and I'll wrap all your shoes and socks for you this year." ”
Xie Matchmaker must have shoes and socks, which can be regarded as thanking the matchmaker for running away.
Lu Ling grinned and whispered to her: "Speaking of which, that family and our family are old acquaintances." The surname is Wen. Ancestral home in Dongying. It's the big squire there.
"I told Fourth Sister Chang about the eldest young master of their family. He is eighteen years old. Because he is the eldest grandson of the family, he is good-looking, smart and capable, and his grandfather is very important to him and has never betrothed him. ”
Wang Xi's eyebrows moved slightly as he listened.
Sounds pretty good.
"This man has been fond of dancing with guns and sticks since he was a child, but he has a bit of talent, and when he is fourteen or five years old, he can draw a three-stone bow. His grandfather found it very rare. A few days ago, I begged my grandmother to give him an errand in Jinwuwei as a guarantor.
The old lady of their family was so happy that he immediately bought a three-entry house in the east of the city and sent the housekeeper to serve him.
"If this family business can be successful, Fourth Sister Chang will definitely not suffer.
"You believe me!"
Of course Wang Xi believes in Lu Ling, but what if Lu Ling also looks away?
She said calmly, "How did you think of being a matchmaker for this Young Master Wen and Fourth Sister?" ”
Lu Ling smiled: "No, he was ordered by his grandfather yesterday to deliver dates to my grandmother." Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to remember! ”
Wang Xi said: "Did you know about this family before?" ”
After all, in Shandong, it is a large local family, and if there is any malice, they can't find it if they want to.
Lu Ling smiled: "Of course I understand." Their old lady and my grandfather were close friends, and they once saved my grandfather's life. In the early years, when my father's errands were not so busy, he would take time to greet the old lady of their family every year. It was only in the past few years that my mother died, my grandmother had to preside over the central feeding of the house, and my father could not leave Beijing at will, so he became more estranged.
"Their home is nice.
"The old lady of the Wen family has four sons and two daughters, Wen Gongzi has three younger brothers, two younger sisters, and more than a dozen brothers and sisters of his uncle. The ancestors did not break the law. ”
Wang Xi sounds so familiar!
She said "ah" and said, "Is this Wen Gongzi Jin Wuwei who entered through the hand of Qingyun Hou?" ”
"It should be!" Lu Ling didn't know very well, and said, "My father had a good relationship with Qingyunhou when he was young, and it shouldn't be difficult to find him to do something." ”
It's not that hard! almost set off a storm, so that Wang Xi was forced to go to the Qingyun Marquis Mansion to explain to the Marquis of Yongcheng.
She smiled bitterly: "Is their family still a little related to the Xiangyang Hou Mansion?" ”
Lu Ling nodded and said, "Xiangyang Hou's stepgrandmother is a girl from the Wen family. However, the step-grandmother of Xiangyang Hou died early, leaving only one young lady, this young lady did not leave a child after leaving a difficult birth, Xiangyang Hou's grandfather remarried a lady, although the two families are still moving, but not as diligent as our family to move. If you don't look at it carefully, a junior like the fifth lady of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion doesn't know what kind of relationship she is with the Wen family! ”
If what Lu Ling said is true, it's not that this family business can't be seen.
Especially Lu Ling said that the son of the Wen family is good-looking.
She couldn't help but say, "What kind of good law does the son of the Wen family look like?" ”
Lu Ling thought for a while and said, "I think she looks better than the fourth prince." ”
"Really?" Wang Xi was excited, excited, and energetic, and said, "What about Chen Luo?" ”
"It's about the same as Chen Luo!" Lu Ling said.
"How is that possible!" Wang Xi was shocked and didn't believe it, "Didn't you say that he was better looking than the fourth prince?" ”
"But I think Chen Luo is also better looking than the fourth prince!" Lu Ling was puzzled.
Wang Xi felt that even if this family affair didn't work, it would be good to see what this Wen Gongzi looked like.
But she didn't instigate the third wife just to see what this Wen Gongzi looked like.
"I think most of the third wife's side is willing to see her." She pondered in her heart and said to Lu Ling, "The Wen family is also a rare good family. It depends on what the Wen family thinks of the Chang family. Didn't you say that the old lady of the Wen family valued this eldest grandson very much? I'm afraid that Chang Si's father is white, and their family is not very satisfied. ”
Lu Ling immediately said, "Then I'll ask my grandmother." ”
After speaking, he left like a gust of wind when he came, and he didn't even see Chang Ke's face.
When Wang Xi returned to the courtyard, Chang Ke and Miss Pan both looked behind her blankly: "Where is Miss Lu?" ”
Wang Xi was hesitant, and finally got this matter rounded, that is, when she was making chicken fir mushroom sauce, the cook asked her if she wanted to put some chili peppers, she shook her head and made a bunch of chicken fir mushroom sauce without chili peppers.
The sauce without chili peppers is a sauce without taste for the people of Shuzhong.
Wang Xi couldn't cry or laugh.
Fortunately, Lu Ling ran over again at dusk and brought several small baskets of dates to her and Chang Ke.
"My grandmother said to make." She said happily, as if she was saying goodbye to her, "I have already asked someone to send a letter to the Wen family, and the news will come back in half a month at most." ”
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "Hmph! Without Butcher Zhang, would you have to eat that hairy pig! Let's wait and see, when the time comes, it will scare you a lot and make you regret it! ”
Wang Xi laughed, hugged Lu Ling fiercely, and said rarely: "You are really painful!" ”
Lu Ling raised her eyebrows and smiled, and ran back again: "My grandmother is still waiting for me to go back and try on new clothes, I will go to the palace with my grandmother to visit Concubine Jiang in two days." ”
"Go, go!" Wang Xi waved his hand, and the next day asked Bai Guo to meet the shopkeeper of the Wang family, "Find a way to get a Western doll for Miss Lu." ”
Make her happy.
Bai Guo smiled and walked away.
Wang Xi wanted to share the good news with Chen Luo, she asked people to bring a letter to Chen Luo, and the two of them met on the wall.
When Chen Luo came, Wang Xi had already arrived.
She was lying on the wall covered with an aqua blue plain muslin mat, not knowing what she was thinking.
The evening breeze gently blew her hair, and the corners of her temples were wisps of green silk.
Chen Luo felt that her hands were a little itchy again, and she wanted to re-tie that strand of hair to her heart.
It's just that he came back to his senses as soon as he got close to Wang Xi, and greeted him with a smile, "You're here", but his eyes fell on him and he couldn't move away.
The moon-white plain Hangzhou silk round-necked large-sleeved shirt was blown by the wind and stuck to his body, with wide shoulders and thin waist, long legs, such as tough willows and pines, and the moon and breeze.
Can Wen Gongzi be as good-looking as Chen Luo?!
Wang Xi didn't believe it.
She asked Chen Luo: "Can we make a private agreement that I can see you immediately when I have an emergency?" ”
Chen Luo thought for a while and said, "Then you have a copper bell falling on the willow tree here, right?" I hear the bells, and we'll see you in the evening. ”
Wouldn't it be that Chen Luo had to send someone to listen to whether there was a bell here when he returned home?
Wang Xi thought it was too good.
She smiled.
Chen Luo asked her, "Is there anything important?" "Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to find him.
Wang Xi hurriedly told Chen Luo about Lu Ling being a matchmaker for Chang Ke, and said unsatisfactorily: "It would be nice if the two families went to hire them!" ”
Chen Luo glanced at Wang Xi and said, "If the Wen family has rules, even if the family is rich, there is a certain number of children in the clan to marry?" ”
When the time comes, I don't know who will lose face?
"What's that?" Wang Xi said disapprenousively, "I'll just make up for her." ”
Anything that can be solved with silver, it is not a thing.
Chen Luo thought about the Wen family and said, "Do you know what the name of that Wen Gongzi is?" ”
He thought it would be best to look it up.
The people in the Jin Wuwei, who knows when they will deal with each other.
"It's said that it's a single name, and the word 'sign'." Wang Xi felt that the capital was so big, Chen Luo would definitely meet him one day, and it would be better if he could inquire about this person.
Unexpectedly, Chen Luo nodded when he heard this, and said, "What are you looking for me to do?" ”
Wang Xi was stunned.
She's already said it!
Chen Luo raised his eyebrows and said, "I still have something." We'll talk about it next time! ”
Wang Xi was dumbfounded, Chen Luo turned around and walked away before he came back to his senses, angrily broke a branch and threw it at his back.
Chen Luo, who was walking in the moonlight, pursed his lips, and a faint smile crept up the corners of his eyes.
He asked Chen Yu, who came over, "When did Qingyunhou leave?" ”
Chen Yu said in a low voice: "Grandpa Guo left before he came back." At this, he hesitated.
Chen Luo snorted coldly and said, "You don't have to scruple, Qingyunhou came to visit my mother, but my father didn't know, if there was no mother's handwriting in this, who could believe it." ”
Chen Yu lowered his head and smiled bitterly, not wanting Chen Luo to see it, and said, "I have inquired clearly." Two days later is Concubine Jiang's birthday, listening to Qingyunhou's tone, the queen wants to give Concubine Jiang a good operation, and wants to invite the eldest princess into the palace. ”
Chen Luo lowered his eyelids.
Inviting his mother into the palace is secondary, isn't it the intention of the Bo family to take this opportunity to compensate the emperor?
His mother would have said yes.
For so many years, his mother has a lot of respect for the queen.
But Chen Yu's tone changed, and he continued with a puzzled look: "Qingyun Hou also discussed with the eldest princess, and wanted to take advantage of this time to celebrate Concubine Jiang's birthday and subsidize the princes. ”
Chen Luo's expression was grim.
The princes' salaries are all fixed, and the amount of the princes involves the expenditure of the treasury, which affects the whole body, and cannot be changed when they are idle, and the princes do not spend the money as much as they want.
If the emperor feels sorry for his son, the prince who is still studying will use pen and ink to make a raft, and the prince who has already married will use ice charcoal to make a raft and privately subsidize some silver to his son.
But in this way, when you put the private matter on the surface, what does the Qingyun Marquis Mansion want to do?
The world is the same, does everyone have a share?
