Chapter Eighty-Three: This Face Is Lost at Home
Lord Luo was still a little hesitant.
After all, for such an important matter, does he really want to listen to a little girl's arrangement?
In the event of a mistake, he will bear the consequences.
He is under a lot of pressure these days because of this incident.
There was silence in the study for a while.
"Otherwise, postpone it for two more days, and wait for the prince to come back." Master Luo thought for a while.
Shen Wenjiang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Uncle knows where the son of the world has gone?" β
Lord Luo nodded, and suddenly patted his head, "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to tell you, the prince returned to Beijing, and said that he was looking for... Well, go talk to the relevant person and let me wait for news from him. β
Who the "relevant person" is, Shen Wenjiang knows it well, and the prince should have guessed who the mastermind behind the scenes is.
She was in such a good mood at the moment, and suddenly she felt so stupid again.
On that day, the prince obviously saw Lord Luo and left, he must have known the news of the prince, so he should have come to visit Lord Luo a long time ago, he really tortured himself for so long in vain.
However, she was not carried away by this huge good news, and still insisted on her plan, "Uncle, there is no chance to be lost, let's act tonight according to the plan just now." Otherwise, when they transfer the crown prince, it will be difficult to find. β
Lord Luo thought about it, gritted his teeth, okay, it's done.
It's a matter of success or failure.
If he can successfully rescue the crown prince, he should be the first to take the lead, and he will be promoted this year; Even if you fail, it's a big deal to be scolded by those adults; The worst case scenario is just losing office, and anyway, it is better than suffering like now.
Later, the two made arrangements for some omissions.
In the end, Lord Luo personally led the three of them to the backyard to see Mrs. Luo.
Shen Wenjiang lost his mother since he was a child, and all his feelings for his mother in his previous life were pinned on Mrs. Hou, and later Mrs. Hou died, and she never received motherly care.
This time, it was obtained from Mrs. Luo.
Mrs. Luo is a kind and beautiful woman like Mrs. Ji Jiahou, and when she heard her husband say that this was the daughter of his best brother, she was overjoyed, pulled her and didn't let go, looked left and right and praised her, and then really let people move out the jewelry box and let her choose for herself.
Shen Wenjiang couldn't cry or laugh.
This couple is really temperamental.
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, and Shen Wenjiang finally chose a pair of delicately styled earrings.
Mrs. Luo clamored for her to put it on.
Shen Wenjiang accepted her kindness.
Afterwards, Mrs. Luo was busy with lunch.
Shen Wenjiang proposed to leave several times, but was rejected by Mrs. Luo with a smile.
Lunch was naturally prepared sumptuously, and during the banquet, Mrs. Luo vigorously put vegetables in her bowl, and carefully removed the splinters from the fish pieces for her, and her words were full of love.
It is false to say that you are not moved.
Shen Wenjiang was originally a person who was easily moved, and his eyes were full of wetness at this moment.
She didn't expect that in this strange place, with the identity of someone else, she would be fortunate to receive such a love.
If before coming to the mansion, she just had the intention of using Luo Tingshi; Now, she is willing to help this couple who treat her sincerely.
After the meal, Mrs. Luo accompanied her around again, and asked her if she had ever been married.
Shen Wenjiang hesitated for a moment, and replied very seriously: "Yes, it was set by my mother when I was a child, and my husband's family is in the capital." β
Mrs. Luo was disappointed at first, and then she didn't know what she thought, and then said angrily: "Then why haven't you come to the door to propose?" Your father too, is it important to be a daughter's marriage or an official? Don't you know what to worry about? β
Shen Wenjiang: ......
"Is it because your mother is gone, and the other party wants to regret it?" Mrs. Luo automatically made up for it, and then looked indignant, "You tell your aunt, who is that family, I will find someone to go to the capital to inquire, I can't wronged you, my good girl." β
Shen Wenjiang: ......
She suddenly regretted accompanying Mrs. Luo to the garden.
Indeed, at her age, it is long overdue to get married.
And she does know that this Lord Luo and his wife have two sons under their knees, but no daughter.
The eldest son is already married, and the second son should be a year or two younger than her.
She was afraid that Mrs. Luo would have the idea of marrying her, so she lied that she had already made a marriage, but she didn't expect Mrs. Luo to be so enthusiastic that she would make the decision for her and ask her husband for her guilt.
Poor one, how can she have a husband?
Seeing that she was silent, Mrs. Luo made up her mind again, "Hmph, I know that those Beijing officials are not good things, and they forgot their original promise after climbing the high branches." Don't be afraid, call me 'aunt' at you, and you can't ignore this matter. β
"It's just, my good girl, you have to tell your aunt, who is the other party, right?"
Shen Wenjiang was forced to be anxious, and suddenly blurted out a surname.
After saying that, she stayed by herself first, and her pretty face instantly turned red.
What she said was actually - Hou Ji's family in Zhennan.
Mrs. Luo was also stunned.
She never expected that this niece from afar, her husband's family turned out to be the Hou Ji family in Zhennan, the capital.
Mrs. Luo didn't ask her husband about the officialdom, and she only knew a little about the high-ranking families in the capital.
Even so, she also knew that the Hou Ji family in Zhennan was a special existence in Daqian.
The ancestors of the Ji family helped Taizu to get up, and then supported him all the way until he ascended the throne.
After Taizu ascended the throne, he rewarded the Ji family as the king, and was the only king with a different surname in the history of Daqian, and his powerful position was higher than that of Taizu's brothers of the same clan at that time.
Although today's Ji family is no longer prominent in its ancestors, it is also one of the best families in the circle of great cadres and nobles.
Even if the Ji family is a side branch, the marriage of their children will definitely be the object of competition among the high-ranking families.
However, the Shen family, like her husband, was born in a poor family.
What qualifications does the poor have to marry such people?
It's no wonder that the other party will regret the marriage......
In an instant, Mrs. Luo's heart turned over several times, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
Shen Wenjiang didn't feel the same in his heart.
She was so shocked by what she had just blurted out.
How could she say something like that?
It's shameless.
She felt that her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter, like fire.
I only heard Mrs. Luo babbling in her ears: "I said Niuniu, what did your mother say to the other party at the beginning, is there any token?" After all, with the family style of the Ji family, it is unlikely that they will regret their marriage. β
Shen Wenjiang finally came back to his senses, tried his best to stabilize his thoughts, and said: "I didn't regret the marriage, it was because of something else......" Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, frowned, as if there was something unspeakable, and quickly said: "Auntie, thank you for being willing to stand out for me like this." Don't worry, the marriage will be decided soon, and then I will ask my aunt to appreciate your face and come to Dengzhou with my uncle to give the wedding. β
"Ehβit's good that nothing has changed." Mrs. Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
She really sweated just now, and really thought that the Ji family regretted her marriage; If that's the case, she doesn't know if she can settle it.
Thankfully not.
It is these little things that women are concerned about.
As for the matter of the crown prince, Mrs. Luo is not too worried, and there are still those Beijing officials on the left and right.
