Chapter 182: Refusal to propose
Ji Yanning didn't drink An's porridge after all, it was almost afternoon when she woke up.
She is a self-disciplined person, she never sleeps in bed on weekdays, she always gets up early to practice archery, and these days she also let Yuan Wu teach her some simple self-defense martial arts, and it is really rare to sleep until the afternoon like today.
Ziyu knew that her young lady was in a bad mood yesterday and was very tired, so she didn't take the initiative to wake her up, thinking that she could have a good rest.
When Ji Yanning woke up, he only felt groggy in his brain.
Glancing at the sky outside, she sighed softly and got out of bed with her shoes on.
"Miss, you're awake! The slave waits for you to wash. Ziyu stepped forward quickly.
Ji Yanning rubbed his forehead and hummed softly.
After returning from Huguo Temple, she has been unsettled, perhaps because she is too nervous.
After washing, Ji Yanning ate some clear porridge, but he had no appetite to eat anything else.
Now that Li Xiaoyun has set her sights on herself, Ji Yanning will naturally be much more peaceful in the past few days, and she will not expose herself at this time to let Li Xiaoyun take advantage of the loophole.
However, if Li Xiaoyun keeps it, I am afraid that it will become her * annoyance in the future.
After returning from Huguo Temple, they were in a bad mood, in addition to Ji Yanning and Mrs. Murong and their mother and daughter.
Ji Lang's words had a certain impact on Mrs. Murong, and the guilt in Yuan Jiaojiao's heart was even worse, since they knew that there was a daughter Jiaojiao, their Murong Mansion had not been able to help Jiaojiao anything, and even hurt her a lot.
In contrast, Murong Yixue has been staying in Murong Mansion well, and the Yuan Mansion was very trustworthy in the original matter, and did not say a word about Murong Yixue, which also proved that Jiaojiao really didn't want to have anything to do with Murong Mansion anymore.
Although Mrs. Murong didn't say it, Murong Yixue still clearly felt her mother's alienation from her.
After he attacked Yuan Jiaojiao before, although his father and brother were very disappointed in him, and his mother was afraid that she would be wronged, she had always been very considerate of her, and even respected her, but now because of the words of the sister and brother, her mother felt more guilty about Yuan Jiaojiao than she cared about herself.
Murong Yixue knew that she was sorry for Yuan Jiaojiao, for so many years, Yuan Jiaojiao had not done anything to be sorry for her, they were sisters, even if she looked at her mother's face, she would not do anything to Yuan Jiaojiao again.
But she won't attack Yuan Jiaojiao, it doesn't mean that she won't deal with Ji Yanning.
This Ji Yanning is really too much of an eyesore.
If Ji Yanning can't stay in peace, don't blame her for being polite.
Feeling that the young lady was depressed, several maids who were waiting for her were just silently doing their own things, for fear that they would do something wrong and make Murong Yixue angry.
"Miss. The maid stepped forward and reported, "Madame, please go to the antechamber." ”
Murong Yixue, who was originally painting in the room, heard the maid's report, raised her head, put the pen in her hand aside, and asked, "Do you know what happened?"
The maid lowered her head and said, "Old Madam Chen Ge came to visit with her eldest grandson, and she was talking about Miss, so Madame wants Miss to go out to meet Old Madam Ge." ”
Murong Yixue's face froze slightly, and then said, "Let's just say that I am unwell and can't see guests." ”
She has reached the end of her life, and now there are many people who want to marry Murong Mansion, and these days, there are gradually more people who come to Murong Mansion to say goodbye.
She said before that she didn't want to marry so soon, and Mrs. Murong rejected those who came to ask for marriage.
But today, Mrs. Chen Ge came over, but her mother was like this, I was afraid that she wanted her to marry earlier.
When the maid heard Murong Yixue's words, she could only nod her head and retreat directly.
Seeing the maid withdraw from the room, Murong Yixue's face gradually sank.
She continued to pick up the pen that had been put aside, dipped it in ink, and was about to continue to finish the painting just now, but she had just made two strokes, and realized that she had destroyed the artistic conception just now.
Distraught, she picked up the half-finished painting, grabbed it into a ball, and threw it into the paper basket next to her.
The personal maid who stood aside and waited hung her head, and she didn't dare to come out.
Murong Yixue didn't go out to see Old Madam Chen Ge, and Madam Murong didn't say anything, but after entertaining Old Madam Chen Ge and Gongzi Chen, she let her go to her courtyard.
"Mother. Murong Yixue came to her mother's yard and greeted her.
Mrs. Murong raised her eyes to look at her daughter and said, "Sit down." ”
Murong Yixue didn't sit down, but said to Mrs. Murong: "Mother, I'm sorry, my mother doesn't want to marry yet. ”
"You're not too young. Mrs. Murong looked at her and said, "I discussed it with your father yesterday, and I feel that your family affairs should be settled earlier, otherwise the door of our Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion will be broken by the person who said that he is close." ”
Murong Yixue lowered her eyes and said, "Does my mother want to marry me off earlier, so that I can't see it?"
"What are you talking about!" said Lady Murong, "It's just a marriage, if you want to stay in the mansion for two or three more years, it doesn't matter." ”
Murong Yixue said: "In that case, what about getting married later?"
Mrs. Murong said: "What your father means is to settle down early, so that other people with other thoughts can rest their minds." When I went to Huguo Temple that day, I could see clearly that the second prince and the fourth prince were interested in you, could it be that you want to marry into the royal family?"
"Can't a daughter marry into the royal family?" Murong Yixue looked at her mother and asked.
Mrs. Murong was slightly stunned, and looked at Murong Yixue's eyes with some surprise: "Do you want to marry into the royal family?" Is it the second prince or the fourth prince, or other princes?"
Murong Yixue bowed her head and was speechless.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Murong couldn't help but say, "Your father has never been involved in party disputes in officialdom for many years, if you marry into the royal family, this will make your father embarrassed!"
Murong Yixue said seriously: "It's not the second prince or the fourth prince, my daughter's favorite is the third prince, he can't speak now, he is destined to have no chance with the throne, even if his daughter marries him, his father will not have any difficulties in the court." ”
"Third prince?" Lady Murong was even more surprised, "but he...... Suffering from mute disease. ”
"I know, but I don't care. Murong Yixue said.
Mrs. Murong choked, but she couldn't say anything else.
With her daughter's conditions, even if she is the best son in Chang'an City, she has fallen in love with a mute prince.
Although the third prince Rong Qi's status is extremely noble, he is suffering from dumb illness and is destined to not inherit the throne.
The days to come may be to be a prince, and then go to his own fiefdom, no edict can enter Chang'an again, although he is still rich and noble, but he is a dumb person after all!
Mrs. Murong said: "Then Gongzi Chen is already ...... at a young age."
She was about to talk to Murong Yixue about the son in the old mansion of Chen Ge, but was interrupted by Murong Yixue: "Mother, how can other people have nothing to do with their daughters, except for the third prince, my daughter doesn't want to marry anyone else, I beg my mother to fulfill it!"
Mrs. Murong was a little embarrassed, but Murong Yixue had been a very thoughtful person since she was a child, as long as she decided to do something, she would definitely do it, and others couldn't influence it at all.
She sighed lightly and said, "Well, I will discuss it with your father again, and if your father agrees, I will go to the queen to find out what she has to say." ”
When Murong Yixue heard her mother say this, she was overjoyed, and her eyes lit up suddenly: "Thank you, mother!"
Seeing the expression of Murong Yixue's youngest daughter's family, Mrs. Murong's heart softened, in the end, it was her own daughter, she naturally couldn't stand Yixue's sadness.
She sighed and said, "It's a pity that Chen Gongzi, who has an outstanding character and appearance. ”
If she compares the third prince with Chen Gongzi, she naturally hopes that her daughter can be with Chen Gongzi.
Murong Yixue said: "If my mother thinks that Chen Gongzi is good, why don't you match him with Sister Jiaojiao?"
Speaking of Yuan Jiaojiao, Mrs. Murong's face had a hint of sorrow, and she said: "She must hate me very much, so she refuses to give me the slightest chance to get close." ”
Murong Yixue saw her mother so sad, and her heart was uncomfortable after all, and comforted her: "My sister is my mother's biological daughter after all, even if she rejects it, the blood relationship is still there, she is still angry to do such a thing now, maybe it will be good to wait a few days." ”
"Perhaps. Mrs. Murong said, her tone full of helplessness.
She was also thinking in her heart, that Chen Gongzi was indeed a good young talent, if she could really be with Jiaojiao, it would be a good thing.
"Ahh
She rubbed her itchy nose and continued to look at the ledgers that had left her at a loss.
The old lady looked at her like this, and said seriously: "I don't need you to learn other female celebrities, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but you must study hard to manage the accounts, otherwise if you get married in the future, how will you take charge of the back house?"
Yuan Jiaojiao pouted, "Isn't there a housekeeper?"
The old lady said: "The housekeeper is only in charge of the trivial affairs of the house, and the lady of the family is in charge of the scheduling of the whole family, if you don't even know how to be a housekeeper, I am afraid that the power of the house will fall into the hands of others sooner or later." ”
Yuan Jiaojiao nodded, and did not refute the old lady: "I have been studying hard, but as soon as I see these account books, I feel that my head is big." ”
The old lady smiled bitterly and said, "It's better to let Yan Ning come over to teach you, she was originally from a merchant family, and it shouldn't be difficult for her to take care of such a small matter as taking care of accounts." ”
"No!" Yuan Jiaojiao hurriedly refused, immediately cheered up, and said to the old lady, "I don't need Yan Ning to teach me, I can learn well." ”
She hasn't forgotten that when Ji Yanning taught her the rules, she was as strict as the Yama King in hell.
She didn't want to experience this life a second time!
