Chapter 38: Ji Huilan
Gongsun Hong and Zheng Yingzhi went to Shangguan Mansion together in the evening, ostensibly to visit Shangguan Gaoyuan, but in fact they wanted to talk about the marriage between Gongsun Feinan and Shangguan Qianyu. This Shangguan Gaoyuan is loyal to the prime minister, and when Shangguan Gaoyuan's original wife died, her only wish was to let her daughter marry the person she liked. But if Shangguan Qianyu is not pleased with Gongsun Feinan, even if the Prime Minister's Mansion insists on marrying, Shangguan Gaoyuan will have the courage to refuse. Although he is loyal to Gongsun Hong, he is not stupid and loyal.
"Brother Gongsun!"
"Brother Shangguan!"
It can be seen that the relationship between the two in private is also very good, Shangguan Gaoyuan has always been worried about Gongsun Feinan's body, after all, he doesn't want to suffer his daughter for the rest of his life.
"Brother Gongsun, I have been looking forward to you for a long time."
"I wanted to come early in the morning, too......"
"Brother Gongsun, has Feinan's health improved?"
"Soon Dake will be cured!"
"Someone, call Miss."
The two laughed out loud at the same time, Gongsun Hong has always been hindered by Gongsun Feinan's body, so he did not mention the marriage contract made by the two families in the early years.
When Shangguan Qianyu heard that the prime minister and his wife were coming, he took off a few hairpin rings from the freshly combed bun and wanted to cash out this Chu Chu to the extreme.
A banquet has already been set up in the hall, looking at this luxurious and elegant furnishings, Shangguan Gaoyuan's wife Ji Huilan has also put a lot of effort into it, seeing that the prime minister and his wife have been smiling at each other, Shangguan Gaoyuan also nodded approvingly.
"Lord Shangguan, why don't you see Madame?"
"My lady rarely meets guests with me, but she prepares all the food and wine on this table. I don't know, the prime minister's wife is still agreeable! ”
"Brother Gao Yuan, let's kiss each other in the future, ask Mrs. to come out and have dinner together! Isn't it necessary to discuss the marriage of you and my children today? ”
"Oh? Hahaha, okay, come on, go and call Madame. ”
It's not that Ji Huilan is unwilling to follow Shangguan Gao's visionary guests, although Shangguan Qianyu didn't say it, she still minded calling a strange woman "mother". Obviously, Shangguan Qianyu was spoiled by Shangguan Gaoyuan, but she still treats Ji Huilan's children like siblings.
Ji Huilan has never been concerned with Shangguan Gaoyuan about this kind of thing, when the next person called her, she had already simply eaten the meal, and she appeared in front of the prime minister and his wife very decently.
"Your Excellency, Mrs. Prime Minister."
"Mrs. Shangguan, you are so polite, how can you and I have such a relationship. Quick, take a seat. Zheng Yingzhi greeted Ji Huilan warmly.
At the banquet, several people chatted familiarly, seeing that the wine was exhausted and the dishes were exhausted, Shangguan Qianyu still didn't come. Shangguan Gaoyuan wanted to ask someone to pass it on again, but Zheng Yingzhi and Gongsun Hong looked at each other when they saw Ji Huilan's expression, and Gongsun Hong said: "Brother Gao Yuan, there is no need to call again, why don't we take this opportunity to discuss the marriage of the two children, it is inconvenient for the children to be present." ”
"Okay, let's have tea." Shangguan Gaoyuan was very happy, and everyone went to the main hall to sit together.
Shangguan Qianyu heard that she was talking about her marriage to Gongsun Feinan, and she immediately raised her interest and ran to the main hall. Since Gongsun Feinan's body is in the recovery stage, Gongsun Hong still considers the time to get married, and he is afraid that his son is overworked, and he is afraid that his body will be worse.
"Master, let's get this marriage done as soon as possible, I'm looking forward to Qianyu marrying into our family."
"Nan'er's body is just improving, and when his body is healed, he will marry Qianyu immediately. When the time comes, I will order someone to go to the Shangguan Mansion to propose marriage! Gongsun Hong looked at what Zheng Yingzhi said, probably because he wanted Zheng Yingzhi to understand that Gongsun Feinan's marriage should not be rushed.
"This ......" Shangguan Gaoyuan wanted to speak and stopped, he must be unhappy in his heart, who knows when Gongsun Feinan will recover.
"Prime Minister, Qianyu is now the age of marriage, and the people who come to propose marriage continue day by day, and it will take some time for Gongsun Gongzi's body to heal! I heard that Gongsun Gongzi never let women serve him, this caretaker is still a woman's caring, it is better to become a relative as soon as possible, and Gongsun Gongzi has a caring person around him who can serve. Ji Huilan's words were amazing, not only refuting the prime minister, but also relieving Shangguan Gaoyuan's dissatisfaction and fulfilling Zheng Yingzhi's wishes! It can be said that one sentence has achieved a triple effect.
The key is that Shangguan Qianyu, who was standing outside the door and listening to the corner, was even more impressed by this stepmother, and Shangguan Qianyu had a slight change in her opinion of Ji Huilan.
"Godfather, godmother, my mother is right, Brother Nan doesn't have a woman to take care of him, but it's not good, I feel distressed every time I go!"
"Shut up, you woman who has not left the cabinet, what are you saying when you open your mouth and close your mouth!"
Ji Huilan was surprised, it was the first time she heard Shangguan Qianyu call her mother. I was stunned for a while, and I didn't know what to do.
"Godmother......"
"Mrs. Shangguan is thoughtful! Master, our Nan'er's health has improved, wouldn't it be better to get married as soon as possible and have someone by your side to take care of you? ”
"Okay, in that case, please ask Imperial Doctor Ning to come as soon as possible, see what Nan'er's body is deciding, and let the Imperial Doctor do everything."
Gongsun Hong said, no one answered, just nodded in approval. Ji Huilan, who was still in a trance, heard Gongsun Hong's words.
"What the Prime Minister said is very reasonable, first of all, it depends on the physical condition of Gongsun Gongzi, when you get married, you always have to work hard, and the imperial doctor will definitely say that Gongsun Gongzi is not suitable for work, and then you only need to visit the church to get married, and it is not better to let your cronies come to help when you welcome the things that are sent to you."
Shangguan Qianyu was originally beside Zheng Yingzhi, and as soon as Ji Huilan's words came out, she ran over and put her hand on Ji Huilan's shoulder cordially. Shangguan Gaoyuan then thought about whether Qianyu had called Ji Huilan a mother just now.
"Madame's words are very true." Shangguan Gaoyuan also praised Ji Huilan like this for the first time in front of his daughter.
As for what Gongsun Hong thought in his heart, Zheng Yingzhi couldn't figure it out. After all, although Shangguan Gaoyuan is loyal and not stupid, Shangguan Gaoyuan also has a mirror in his heart. It's just that his bottom line is his daughter, as long as his daughter is happy with Gongsun Feinan, then this family business must be promoted.
