Chapter 65: Asking for Marriage
Xie Tian and Xiao Jing's matter was naturally hidden, but the people who should know naturally also knew it.
In Shen's mansion, Shen Meng was writing something, Fang wrote a page, sighed heavily, frowned slightly, and pursed his lips.
"Miss, why are you so entangled?" The girl Xiaoyun stepped forward, folded the peach blossom paper that had been stained with ink, and then sent it to the lamp and candle to turn into ashes.
"Xiaoyun, should I take the things left by Jing Shizi to Ali?" Shen Meng hesitated a little, "Such a thing happened to the noble girl of the high gate, but there was no movement at all on the side of King Chen's mansion. Although Xie Tian may not be a good girl, ...... Alas. ”
"Then I'll give it to Miss Xie Li." Xiao Yun was a little puzzled, "This matter should be the business of Ping Nanhou and them." ”
"However, my father's current situation ......" Shen Meng knew that his father was a good man's character, and the last time Xie Li happened, he taught Shen Qing not to offend King Chen's mansion, and King Chen ate some hangings for his father openly and secretly in the court.
If this thing is used by Pingnanhou to threaten King Chen, then his father will be even more unpleasant.
Xiaoyun understood her young lady's scruples, pursed her lips, and didn't speak.
This matter depends on how the Chenwang Mansion solves it.
"Forget it, let's wait and see."
But the next day, Shen Meng heard the news that Princess Chen went to Pingnanhou Mansion to ask for marriage.
This is an unbelievable thing, and it is said that Xie Li ran behind King Chen, but King Chen looked down on Xie Li very much.
But I never thought that in a shocking shock, Princess Chen actually came to the door to ask for Xie Li for her son!
In the flower hall of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, Mrs. Wang was full of sneers, and Mrs. Lu's face was pale.
"Old lady, the children have also reached the age of talking about marriage." Princess Chen smiled softly, "My family's Ah Jing also has some reputation in this Shengjing City, and I think the old lady and the lady have heard of it." ”
Mrs. Wang stiffened her face and nodded, and Mrs. Lu resisted the urge to roll her eyes and looked at Princess Chen expressionlessly.
Princess Chen thought that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wang would echo the scene, but she never thought that no one spoke, and she was a little annoyed and angry, but she had to smile shyly.
"Ah Jing has also seen a lot of people over the years, and they are all good girls. But the words of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, we old people can listen to it, and it still depends on the will of the children, right? ”
"What the princess said is that we, Ali, are also pampered and raised girls, and we have never seen her wronged." Mrs. Wang avoided the important and did not mention whether she agreed or not, "Master Hou also favors us Li Er the most, and my mother and I can't be the master." ”
Princess Chen's words, openly and secretly, just said that Xie Li is not as good as other girls?
What kind of "top girl", what kind of family do you think your family is, what kind of family do you think our Pingnan Hou Mansion is? Mrs. Wang sneered.
"This is reasonable, and naturally I want to inform the Hou Ye." Princess Chen pressed down the helplessness in her heart, "But ......"
She paused, "How can a father's opinion be as useful as a daughter's?" Speaking of which, I've never seen Li'er, is Li'er at home today? ”
“…… At home. Mrs. Wang subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Lu, grinned, and held her breath, "But our Li Er is not very good, if we collide with the princess, the princess should not be angry with the children." ”
Your son has done good things, don't Xie Li know, it's really shameless and trees don't have bark.
Mrs. Lu was like a mud bodhisattva, sitting on the top seat, not moving, and never even a word to Princess Chen.
Princess Chen roughly knew that most of the good things about her son and Xie Tian had been exposed.
But the arrow is on the bow, and his son has some meaning of "not giving up" to this Xie Li.
It's not necessarily love, but it's ...... If so, it will be better to act in the future.
Princess Chen thought about the benefits that marrying Xie Li, and thinking about the rumors in the market, and replied with a smile: "How can it?" ”
After a verbal exchange back and forth, Linlang had already hurried to Yunxi Pavilion.
"Lady Ann, Madame invites Miss Lady to go to the flower hall." Linlang bent her knees slightly, and saw that there were only two people in the room, Shocking and Bai Lu, and the words on her lips paused.
"Don't avoid it." Xie Li got up lightly, "What's the matter with Mother?" ”
Xie Li naturally knew that Princess Chen was in the house, but she didn't expect to let herself go, shouldn't she let Xie Tian go?
Playing with the purse sent by Shen Meng just now, as well as the purple jade pendant in the purse, Xie Li roughly guessed something.
"Princess Chen came to ask for marriage and said that the eldest lady." Linlang said in a low voice, "Madame said that this matter requires the nod of the eldest lady." ”
In a few words, the attitude on the field was clear.
Xie Li also understood Mrs. Wang's partiality towards him.
Although she must be helping Xie Chen at home, externally, she naturally has to turn her elbow inward.
Princess Chen's thing was done, didn't she just stuff the rag into the mouths of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Lu, disgusting?
The two pampered people probably couldn't get out of their stomachs, so they deliberately asked themselves to go and get angry with this person.
Xie Li curled the corners of his lips as he walked out.
It's good to teach these "nobles" to know that Xie Li is not a dough that can be kneaded round and flattened.
In the flower hall, Xie Li walked in with a smile and called loudly: "Grandmother, mother, I'm here." ”
This slightly louder call instantly interrupted the intermittent conversation in the flower hall, and Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wang were both startled by Xie Li's "loud voice", and subconsciously looked over, and saw Xie Li's brisk steps, and walked to the chair with a little bouncing, and sat down without saying a word.
The two looked at each other, glanced at each other, and instantly remembered the fear of being "dominated" by Xie Li, and invariably went to see Princess Chen, casting a sympathetic look without a trace.
Princess Chen frowned slightly, looked Xie Li up and down a few times, and then raised a smile.
"This is Li'er, she is really outstanding, and she is very good."
Xie Li smiled, "Harm, my parents are born well, and ordinary people can't envy them." The princess is also good-looking, with picturesque eyebrows. ”
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the small flower hall suddenly became weird.
It is said that this "picturesque eyebrow" is not without a source.
In the early years, in order to show that she and His Royal Highness King Chen were stronger than Jin, Princess Chen often begged King Chen to thrush with her, but the man was a thrush, and he was a man with five big and three thick, where did he know what thrush was.
Every time Princess Chen appeared with the big thick eyebrows like Guan Gong, everyone knew that it was "picturesque" again.
