As soon as Zhong Taojiao said this, everyone present was shocked.

Not only did Wang Lili look surprised, but even Yan Qingyi muttered, "Impossible, how come I don't know." ”

Gu Fanghua slowly walked two steps, glanced at Yan Qingyi, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yao's request for marriage is true, and it is also true that the Queen Mother refused. The lord of this county is still young, and he will not discuss marriage if he is not in time, so you don't have to worry about me. Now, believe I'm here to help? ”

The ladies present hurriedly saluted and replied: "Don't dare to concubine!" ”

"Alright, Maruko, throw her out of here. lest you see her, and the lord of this county is in a bad mood. ”

Gu Fanghua's domineering behavior made the young lady, who originally thought that she was nothing more than this, immediately restrain her words and deeds. Everyone doesn't want to be kicked out by the lord of Mingzhu County.

shocked the ladies present, Gu Fanghua talked to Zhong Taojiao and ate dried fruits.

The other ladies stood tremblingly not far away, ready to give orders.

In the inner room, after a few rounds of greetings, the princess of Bei'an County asked the questions that all the ladies present wanted to ask.

"Old lady, you have not done anything for so many years, why are you suddenly willing to come out to hold a chrysanthemum banquet? What about Mrs. Hou and the second lady? Didn't you see them come out? ”

The county lord of Fuling said with a smile: "The princess of the county said that she is ashamed of me, an old woman, it is rare to move an old bone over the years, isn't there no way to do it this time?" I can only come out with a cheeky face, wanting to ask a granddaughter-in-law to enter the door. ”

Such an answer confirmed the rumors outside that Fuling County hosted the chrysanthemum banquet in order to choose a granddaughter-in-law.

For a moment, all the ladies present looked a little subtle.

Lord Fuling looked around, and said with a slow smile: "You can come today, but also to give me this old face." Everyone is willing to marry the Xiao family, and the Xiao family will definitely be grand. ”

The princess of Bei'an County smiled calmly, and said tentatively: "The old lady said that she was laughing, I came over today, and when I saw that the lord of Mingzhu was also there, I almost went home." ”

The other ladies also echoed the laughter, and the lord of Fuling County sighed with a smile and said: "The phoenix only lives in the sycamore, we are a small family, where can there be such blessings." ”

The other ladies present exchanged looks, and Mrs. Wang smiled reservedly, a little flattering: "Xiao Zhuangyuan is a Wenqu star, and the county lord's vision is too high. If my family Li'er has such blessings, it is really a blessing from the previous life. ”

The lord of Fuling raised his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Wang, feeling a little angry, and Mama Wei immediately whispered: "This is the wife of the current patriarch of the Wang family, and the original patriarch has died." ”

I see, Lord Fuling's lips curved in an arc, and he smiled disdainfully.

The Langya Wang family is not as good as the next generation.

Seeing Mrs. Wang selling her daughter so bluntly, the little abacus in the hearts of all the ladies was a little abnormal for a while.

"Mrs. Wang praised it falsely, Xiao Yao just studied and got better, so he didn't deserve Mrs. Wang's praise."

Lord Fuling casually prevaricated, and Mrs. Wang didn't seem to hear the refusal. He also smiled enthusiastically: "The old lady is too modest, if the old lady is willing to come out to preside over the banquet earlier, where will there be anything to do with the second lady." That's right, why isn't the second lady here today, serving the old lady? ”

The princess of Bei'an County also said: "I haven't seen Mrs. Hou for a long time, I don't know how she is now?" ”

Lord Fuling smiled and slowly took a sip of tea, then put down the Jun kiln chrysanthemum cup, and said with a smile: "Xie Shi, she is not in good health, she has caught a cold recently, I let her rest in the yard." As for the Yue family, she offended the county lord of Mingzhu and had already been grounded. ”

Wow! The ladies didn't expect that the lord of Fuling County did not shy away from it, and even revealed the scandal in his family.

For a while, all kinds of gossip in my heart, how did the Yue family provoke the lord of Mingzhu County, so that he would fall from the wife of the house to the fate of being grounded.

The princess of Bei'an County remembered that the princess of the pearl that the county king said when he came back was really majestic, and she was a little worried about her daughter for a while, afraid that she would offend the county lord.

Mrs. Wang thought differently, and asked directly: "No wonder the second lady didn't come out, but for Xiao Yaoxiang, it's okay if Mrs. Hou isn't there?" ”

Lord Fuling pretended to look at him in surprise, and said with a smile: "When did I say that I want to look at Xiao Yao for me?" ”

Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded, and only after a while did she say with a strange face: "Old lady, don't you want to look at your daughter-in-law?" ”

"The old body wants to look at his granddaughter-in-law, but not for Xiao Yao, but for my third-ranked grandson, Xiao Yong. Now that his biological mother is grounded and his grandmother is sick again, isn't it only for me, a grandmother, to worry about him? ”

When Lord Fuling said this, the ladies present were speechless.

The princess of Bei'an County finally hid her surprise and said with a reluctant smile: "The main reason is that everyone sees Xiao Zhuangyuan returning to his hometown, and they think that the old lady only loves her little grandson." ”

Lord Fuling smiled and nodded: "Xiao Yao, I naturally feel more pain, but the young and old are orderly, and they still can't mess with the rules." ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Yes, in fact, Xiao Zhuangyuan is also eighteen, and he is both civil and military, why don't the old ladies look at each other together?" As long as there is a sequence of marriage, it is not a bad rule. I heard that Xiao Zhuangyuan will return to Beijing after the year? and so as not to be troublesome. ”

Lord Fuling pulled it together, and the jade jade bracelet in his sleeve casually hooked the corners of his mouth.

He said with a smile: "Mrs. Wang is really well-informed, and Xiao Yao will go to Beijing in the next year." This time, it was the emperor who specially allowed him to come back to worship his ancestors. ”

At this time, Mrs. Wang realized the coldness of the Lord of Fuling, and said with a sneer: "Old lady, I didn't expect Xiao Zhuangyuan to be so favored. ”

The lord of Fuling County glanced at the princess of Bei'an County with an informed smile on her face, so he said to her: "The princess of the county has a lot of people in the capital, I am afraid that I have long known that Xiao Yao has made a meritorious contribution to the rescue this time, and the emperor has sealed the news of the earl." ”

The princess of Bei'an County looked at the lord of Fuling, and she didn't mean to hide it at all, and she also guessed her intentions.

smiled: "We also received the news a few days ago, and we wanted to come to the door to ask for a drink." As a result, seeing that the old lady was silent, I didn't dare to make decisions and release the news. ”

"This is all a trivial matter, and it is not too late for him to invite you to congratulate him when he is the marquis in the future."

Although Lord Fuling's words were modest, the smile and joy on her face were her original intentions. In this way, the careful thinking of the ladies present moved more.

Mrs. Wang immediately congratulated: "Xiao Zhuangyuan is really both civil and military, congratulations to the old lady." ”

The head of Fuling County didn't want to pay attention to her, and looked at Mrs. Xie, who had been silent and smiled a little embarrassed. was about to ask a few words, but he saw Xiao Manzi, the inner servant next to the lord of Mingzhu, come in.

"The slave has seen the old lady. Someone had just collided with the county lord, and the county lord had already given the order and threw her out. and let the servant come and tell the old lady and ask her family to leave with her. ”

For a while, the ladies present talked a lot, for fear that if it was their own daughter, it would be a shame to go home.
