Cheng Xiangjin didn't expect that she just reacted a little flat, how could she look so abnormal in their eyes. Just about to explain a few words to herself, Qiaohui hurriedly gave Yu'er a look.

"Mr. Xie has rarely been on the ground, and now he is also coming to our house to ask for a girl. Our house hasn't agreed to this family affair yet, and the girl should be more reserved as a daughter's family. You, don't scream at your aunt, it's not good for our girls to spread it. ”

When the words fell, she made a look at Yu'er again, and Yu'er wanted to refute, but when she saw her wink, she finally figured it out.

Yes, they are the people in front of the girl, and the girl doesn't hate to marry, they seem too happy but the word is bad for the reputation of the house.

"You're right, we should be as calm as the girl at this time, the more reserved we are, the more noble we will be in the eyes of outsiders, if the reaction is too eager, it will make people laugh! Well, I've decided, I'll tell them a few now, no one can laugh anymore, especially the girl who is the most happy, at this time, it's not good for people to catch the handle of our house! ”

The words fell, as if he was in a hurry to do something terrible, and he went out of the room like a gust of wind, which provoked Cheng Xiangjin to support his forehead for a while.

What's wrong with these girls?

She was just mentally prepared for the proposal, so her reaction was a little flat! It's really not pretending to be reserved!

However, since Yu'er ran this trip, the entire Magnolia Courtyard has really calmed down a lot. Cheng Xiangjin is happy, and he is much more comfortable than Cheng's mansion.

Since the news of Mu Enhou's Mansion came to propose marriage to inform Mrs. Cheng, the Cheng Mansion has been busy for two days, especially Mrs. Cheng, who has to send someone to arrange the courtyard of the house, and has to find an embroidery girl to make new clothes for Cheng Xiangjin. For two whole days, I was so busy that my feet couldn't leave the ground.

Cheng Fuyin came back from the yamen, and when she saw that she was still directing her subordinates to clean up the courtyard, she hurriedly called her into the house.

"Madam, it's almost all about to be arranged, what Mu Enhou Mansion looks at is our family's door style and daughter, not these calligraphy and painting crockpots! Look at you, how hot have you become? Hurry up and take a break for a cup of herbal tea! ”

Mrs. Cheng wiped the sweat on her face, and then took a big gulp of herbal tea. After drinking, he glanced at Cheng Fuyin and said resentfully: "Do you think I'm happy to be busy?" Look around, and all the new houses are empty. What I know is that our government was set on fire by thieves before, and those who don't know think that I, Mrs. Yin, don't take care of housework! Forget it, it's a waste of effort to have more with you, I still have a lot of places to arrange outside, so I have to go out and take a look. Tomorrow is the day when the Hou Mansion comes to propose marriage, and we can't let people laugh at it! ”

Mrs. Cheng got up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Cheng Fuyin, who was full of helplessness.

"Madame, don't worry, just leave it to Lao Yu outside. Anyway, you are also the eldest lady of the house, and it is only when you are sick that you have a fever that people laugh at it! Those who know know that it is Mu Enhou Mansion who is going to come to propose marriage, and those who don't know think that our house will marry tomorrow! Madame doesn't need to be so nervous, the Hou Ye and the old lady are both characters who have seen the world, don't count these! ”

Mrs. Cheng was indeed tired, and seeing him like this, she also felt that she was too worried.

"This is the first time I have married a daughter, I'm not worried about being a mother! Do you think everyone is like you? Don't care about anything but the case? ”

Cheng Fuyin was choked by her, "Blind, why don't I care?" Forget it, anyway, I'm fine now, I'll take a look at what else needs to be rectified, and you can rest in peace! ”

After the words fell, he took the teacup and poured a belly of herbal tea, and went out with a hum.

Mrs. Cheng looked at his busy back in the courtyard and quietly pursed her lips and smiled.

"That's pretty much it!"

Early in the morning of the second day, the Cheng family put on new clothes, all the courtyards were cleaned spotlessly, and even some of the potted plants that had just been bought back were carefully sprayed with water.

As usual, men and women can see each other on the day of the proposal, so Cheng Xiangjin, who got up early in the morning and was reorganized, was also called to the main courtyard, waiting for the people of Xie Mansion with the old man and the hot man.

And they waited from early morning until noon.

As the sun became more and more vicious, the hearts of the people in the Cheng Mansion became more and more irritable and tormented.

Mrs. Cheng is okay, relatively calm.

Mrs. Cheng couldn't sit still when she looked at this, "It's okay to come at the hour, why do you see that it's going to be noon, and no one has come to their house yet?" Why don't we send Lao Yu out to inquire? See if the message was delivered on the wrong day, or if something in their house delayed? ”

Mrs. Cheng nodded silently when she heard this.

Seeing this, Cheng Fuyin hurriedly beckoned Steward Yu to go out to inquire.

After a long while, Steward Yu came back sweating profusely.

As soon as Cheng Fuyin saw his appearance, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately stood up anxiously.

"How's it going? But something delayed? ”

Steward Yu glanced at Cheng Fuyin, didn't bother to wipe the sweat all over his face, and said with a sad face: "Master, Master Xie is in prison!" ”

"What?" Several voices rang out almost at the same time, and everyone was stunned.

Cheng Xiangjin's eyelids suddenly jumped, and an ominous feeling gradually filled his heart.

Old Madam Cheng stood up tremblingly. She slammed the pestle on the ground with her crutches and said in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on? Don't worry, be careful! ”

Steward Yu lowered his head and said with a crying voice: "Listen to the Xie family's doorkeeper, yesterday there was a father-in-law in the palace who came to the Xie family to pass the decree, which seems to be to give marriage to the eldest son of Xie." As a result, Prince Xie refused to accept the order, and Father-in-law Tai had no choice but to let Yu Linwei take people away. In order to intercede for the eldest prince Xie, Xie Hou entered the palace last night, and he has not returned to the house yet. ”

"Bestow...... Marriage? ”

The old lady trembled and finished these words, and sat down weakly.

Cheng Xiangjin hurriedly supported the old lady and looked at Cheng Fuyin blankly.

Cheng Fuyin endured the shock and comforted the old lady in a gentle voice. Then he glanced at Cheng Xiangjin and said to her: "Jin'er will send your grandmother back first, and inquire about your father's entry into the palace." ”

After the words fell, he patted the depressed Mrs. Cheng and strode out of the house.

Mrs. Cheng slowed down for a while, and then she and Cheng Xiangjin sent the old lady back to the courtyard.

When the old lady calmed down, the mother and daughter left.

Out of the old man's yard, Cheng Xiangjin asked the doubts in his heart.

"Mother, the grandmother of the Xie family talked to her grandmother that day, Xie Lingfeng's marriage has been approved by the Empress Dowager, and the Hou Mansion can give him Zhang Luo's family affairs. You, at this juncture, why did the palace marry him again? Did the palace make a mistake? ”

Mrs. Cheng was also confused at this time, looking at her daughter with red eyes, she was distressed.
