Chapter 8 Marriage Events

Waiting for Shen Rongzi to walk away, Wei's mother hurriedly entered Huanyue Xuan to check, and saw Zhao Youling sitting in front of the embroidery frame, she breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't dare to disturb Zhao Youling, Mrs. Wang had confessed that only by giving preferential treatment to the embroidery girl could the embroidery girl embroider exquisite patterns.

Wei's mother turned her head twice, and saw that Zhao Youling was still sitting in front of the embroidery frame in a daze, how could she complete the embroidery work like this.

"Miss Zhao, do you need something?"

Wei's mother leaned over and asked.

"Can't Mrs. Fushang wear peony patterns?"

Zhao Youling looked at the charcoal pattern on the water satin and said suddenly.

"Ah, this...... What did Miss Zhao say? ”

I don't know why, Wei's mother asked tentatively.

"What Miss Fifth said just now."

Zhao Youling's eyes have been staring at the peony pattern.

"yes, maybe, maybe."

Of course, Wei's mother can't deny her young lady's words.

"I see."

Zhao Youling's eyes instantly burst out with a hint of brilliance, and he immediately drew on the watery satin.

The back garden of the Zhenguo Mansion is full of wisteria trellises.

Old Lady Shen leaned on the rattan chair and squinted at the blooming moon flowers in front of her. Her eyes followed the two butterflies flying among the flowers, and she looked full of interest.

Shen Rongzi saw her grandmother from a distance, and saw that she was leaning on the rattan chair motionless, as if she was asleep.

She immediately stretched out her index finger to her lips and made a "shhh took the box containing the auspicious clothes from Qin'er's hand, and walked lightly towards Mrs. Shen.

The maid who was shaking the fan behind Mrs. Shen saw that the fifth lady was coming, and she bent her knees slightly, and was about to greet the old lady, when the old lady Shen turned her head and saw that her granddaughter was startled, she smiled "poof".

"Take a look, I wanted to scare my grandmother, but I was taken aback by my grandmother."

Old Mrs. Shen was as happy as a child.

"How dare the granddaughter scare her grandmother, the granddaughter is afraid of shocking her grandmother's Yaxing."

Shen Rongzi smiled coquettishly, raised the clothes box with both hands and presented the auspicious clothes for her grandmother.

Old Mrs. Shen laughed happily and asked Gu's mother behind her to put it away.

"The fifth girl really has a heart. I know that Mrs. Tai likes purple the most. Yo, this embroidery is really exquisite, Mrs. Look, this peony flower is embroidered like the real thing, I think it can attract butterflies under the sun. ”

"Put it away quickly and wear it for my birthday."

Listening to the old servant's praise, Mrs. Shen was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, pulled her granddaughter to sit next to her, and the slave maid who was waiting on the side had already set up the stool.

"Rongrong."

Old Mrs. Shen picked up a strand of soft hair hanging from Shen Rongzi's sideburns, and her eyes were full of love.

"Grandmother, why do you go to the garden alone today? Is it something on your mind? ”

Shen Rongzi smiled at her grandmother obediently.

"My grandmother is old, and she can't hide anything in her heart. Rongrong, you are already sixteen years old, it is time to choose a good match and marry out of the house. ”

"Grandmother ......"

Shen Rongzi blushed.

"Look at my countenance, I'm embarrassed. Grandmother can't make up her mind about your business. ”

The Duke of Zhenguo wanted to fulfill the agreement with King Huai when he was young, and marry his daughter Shen Rongzi to Mu Hanchi, the son of King Huai. Wang didn't dare to deny her husband's decision in person, so she had to ask Mrs. Shen to help reconcile.

Old Mrs. Shen also knew the style of Mrs. Gao, the sister of King Huai, who was in charge of the family, and she definitely wanted to marry Dona more for Mu Hanchi.

The queen mother intended to let Shen Rongzi enter the palace as the crown princess, but Mrs. Shen immediately refused. Let the granddaughter be the crown princess than be the princess of King Huai.

There are many concubines of the same kind, at least in terms of character, Mu Hanchi, the prince of Huai, is hundreds of times better than the crown prince Zhao Yan.

The Wang family fell in love with Song Yu, the new champion, and the old lady Shen was quite satisfied with Song Yu's character and talent, but his family background was too ordinary, except for the thirty acres of grange in the suburbs, there was no ancestor Fuyin, but he was afraid that his granddaughter would suffer if she married in the past.

I heard that the eldest princess intends to give her daughter Qin Wanyu to Song Yu, so that her granddaughter and Pingjin Hou will compete for a son-in-law, I am afraid that it will become a joke in the capital, and it will deepen the already deep enmity between the two governments.

Pingjin Hou Qin An climbed the high branch of the eldest princess to become a celebrity in front of the emperor today, and from time to time he gave Zhenguo Gong a problem by wearing small shoes, if he took advantage of his daughter's marriage to make some articles, I was afraid that the Zhenguo Guild would not be able to cope with it......

Old Mrs. Shen knows her son's temperament very well, and if she plays yin, Zhenguo Gong is definitely not Pingjinhou's opponent.

"My granddaughter is still young, and I'm not in a hurry to get married."

Shen Rongzi bowed his head shyly, and said tactfully.

She hopes that her grandmother will make her the decision in her heart, she doesn't want to marry and go to the Huaiwang Mansion to be angry with Mrs. Gao, and she doesn't want to enter the palace to guard all kinds of rules and have no freedom.

"What do you think of the top student in this department?"

Song Yu Yushu is very graceful, and he is quite similar to Shen Zhao, but Shen Zhao is a little more dashing, and Song Yu is more respectful and kind.

After winning the palace examination in the autumn of last year, Song Yu wore red silk and sat down on a high-headed horse to travel on the ten-mile long street in the capital, which can be said to have caused a sensation in the entire capital at that time, causing the nobles of various provinces to reverie.

Mrs. Shen estimated that her granddaughter also had ideas.

"Grandmother is talking about Song Yu?"

Old Mrs. Shen didn't mention Song Yu's name, but Shen Rongzi was able to answer in one bite, just as she expected.

Old Lady Shen squinted and smiled.

"Song Yu is good?"

"Oh, it's all up to my grandmother! As long as the person is good, there are not so many things at home, and it is good to be able to live freely. ”

Shen Rongzi said what was in her heart, her shy cheeks seemed to have fallen into a cigarette fat tank, and even the roots of her ears were red.

Feeling that the girl was not ashamed to say such a thing, Shen Rongzi hurriedly threw herself into her grandmother's arms.

Mrs. Shen understood her granddaughter's intentions, and after thinking about it, she decided to fulfill her granddaughter's thoughts.

This grandson-in-law is in a dispute with the eldest princess!

If the people of the capital want to laugh, they have to hold her handle. If it is the queen mother's marriage, who dares to make irresponsible remarks.

Song Yu has just served as a general judge in Dingzhou, and this matter should not be delayed.

Old Mrs. Shen decided to leave the mansion and asked the spies from Pingjin Houfu to report to the eldest princess. Her son has been pressed by Pingjin Hou to be aggrieved, her old woman is not a vegetarian, and she must fight for a good husband for her granddaughter.

The glazed canopy and green curtain carriage of the lady of the Zhenguo Mansion passed through the Qianyuan Building and headed for the palace gate.

A man in Tsing Yi leaning on the door post of Qianyuan Building to probe his brain immediately lowered his body and turned his head and ran towards Pingjin Houfu.

"That spy can't wait to report back......"

Shen Zhao watched his grandmother's carriage pass downstairs and walk away, glanced at the man in Tsing Yi who was rushing away, withdrew his gaze from the window, turned his head to look at the person opposite and smiled.

This is a fine house, the area is not large, two people drinking tea is already very luxurious.

"What are Brother Mu's plans?"

Shen Zhao looked at the person opposite with an indifferent expression.

I haven't seen him for ten years, Mu Hanchi turned out to be exactly the same as he imagined, still so calm and calm, and he was not surprised at the top of Mount Tai.

"Not for now."

"Okay, since I can endure it for ten years, I'm not in a hurry at this moment. However, Brother Mu needs to beware of the people in Pingjin Houfu, their eyes are all over the capital, and there is a tendency for those who oppose me to die. He is a member of the prince's faction, and he is deeply relied on by the emperor, and your father and the king were forced by him to not say a word in the court, so they had to stay at home with illness......"

"Shen Zhao, it's not appropriate to talk here, you and I should go to the suburbs tomorrow to talk about it."

Although there were more than a dozen cold and summer months away from Beijing, Mu Hanchi had a clear understanding of the situation in the capital.

He is different from Shen Zhao, Shen Zhao only has a false name, but he can best understand the suffering of the people in the battle, and can feel the emperor's mediocrity and cruelty the most.

"Brother Mu is right."

Shen Zhao frowned, looking at Mu Hanchi's wheat-colored face with angular coldness. The wind from the north did not destroy his skin, but instead added a touch of heroism to him. A pair of bright eyes concealed the elite qi, which was sharpened in the sea of swords and fire, so that people did not dare to hide the slightest deception at first sight.

Shen Zhao was at the gate of the palace waiting for Mu Han to come to the teahouse after entering the palace to face the holy reinstatement, Mu Han had not returned to the palace for a long time, and it was inconvenient for him to delay him for too long. There are a lot of things that are inconvenient to say in the teahouse.

Walking out of the teahouse, Shen Zhao turned around and called Mu Hanchi, who was about to get on the horse.

"Brother Mu, do you remember my fifth sister?" Seeing that Mu Han was thoughtful, Shen Zhao hurriedly added:

"Ah, I guess you don't remember, when you returned to the palace at the age of twelve, my fifth sister was only four years old. She was only so tall then, only to you and me. ”

Shen Zhao raised his hand and compared it on his thigh.

"You went to the north to fight in the army at the age of fourteen, and my fifth sister was six years old, crying and begging you not to go. Don't you remember?

Mu Hanchi frowned, as if trying to find it in his memory, and finally gave Shen Zhao a helpless smile.

"It's been too long, she's a big girl now, and my grandmother is proposing marriage to her. I'm afraid that just now my grandmother went to the palace to ask for a marriage. ”

Shen Zhao smiled uncontrollably.

Before he saw Mu Hanchi, he wasn't sure if his sister would like Mu Hanchi, but after seeing him, he could rest assured.

My sister likes handsome and elegant men the most, and the wind and sand on the border did not destroy Mu Han's elegance when he was young, but added a dazzling wildness and handsomeness.

There should be no daughter in the world who doesn't like such a man.

“……”

Although Shen Zhao didn't say it explicitly, Mu Hanchi could also hear what he meant. Mrs. Shen went to ask for marriage, of course, to give Shen Rongzi to him.

Shen Zhao thought that he didn't remember Shen Rongzi, but in fact, he remembered all the memories of returning to Beijing back then. It's just that he doesn't want Shen Zhao to misunderstand that he is interested in Shen Rongzi.

But this marriage brought things into trouble. He was determined not to marry in this life......

Shen Zhao bowed his hand and took his leave.

Mu Hanchi got on his horse and went straight to the Huai Palace.

Mrs. Gao waited for her nephew at the gate of the house and didn't come, and she didn't see her nephew on the right, and she was upset with her hands twisting her handkerchief, when she suddenly heard the big girl behind her shouting, "The prince is back."

"Ah, my nephew is finally back!"

Looking at Mu Hanchi, who was galloping on a white horse, Mrs. Gao's eyes were red with excitement, and she raised her feet and walked a few steps forward to meet her.

"Aunt is well."

Mu Hanchi grabbed the horse rope, turned over and dismounted, and bowed to Mrs. Gao.

Mrs. Gao hurriedly helped him up.

"My aunt takes care of my father on behalf of the king's mansion, and this kindness is as deep as the blue sea nephew will never forget."

Mu Han wants to kneel lately, how can Mrs. Gao pull it up.
