Chapter 119: Door-to-door proposal
Mrs. Shen was still dressed in jewels, smiling, and after entering the door, all the ladies greeted each other. Mrs. Shen's grandmother handed the gift list to Mama Xia. Princess Qin looked at it and showed surprise: "This gift is too much, too heavy, please take it back." ”
Princess Qin returned the gift list after saying that.
Mrs. Shen smiled all over her face and stopped: "Princess Qin, don't worry, listen to me and talk to you slowly." ”
Not only Princess Qin, but everyone present was curious about what happened when Mrs. Shen came over, who had broken off diplomatic relations.
Mrs. Shen said eloquently: "I came here today to congratulate the two little sons on the 100-day banquet, but more importantly, I came to propose marriage." ”
Propose?
Xiyan, who originally had nothing to do with himself and was distracted, immediately returned to his senses. The people present also exchanged heads and whispered, and the refusal to marry in front of the Shen Mansion caused a stir, and both mansions lost face. Now which one is sung again?
Mrs. Shen saw that there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and her face was a little unbearable. But for the sake of his son, he has to hold on hard.
Three days ago, Shen Li suddenly returned to the Shen Mansion and told his mother that he had fallen in love with Xiyan in his heart, and that he would not marry in this life, and begged his mother to come to the door today to propose marriage. Mrs. Shen was originally willing to marry Princess Qin, and seeing that her son was earnest, she must really like it.
Shen Li's intentions are not difficult to understand, and he refused to marry in public that day, which pushed Xiyan to the forefront. Therefore, if she proposes marriage again, she must mention it in public, so that everyone knows that Yan Xiyan was asked to marry by the Shen Mansion and save her face.
He never thought about the relationship between Xiyan and Xuanyuanpo, but now Xuanyuanpo has never appeared again, he is not a long-term lover, and he will not be involved in the future. Looking at Xiyan's hard life, he made up his mind to protect her for the rest of his life. As for the past, let it pass.
Xiyan shook her head nervously, lest her aunt should respond.
Princess Qin drank tea and ate snacks, and asked for a long time: "I don't understand what Mrs. Shen said, who is this going to be for, and to whom?" ”
"The princess asked knowingly, naturally it was Shen Li, the sister-in-law of the Shen Mansion, who proposed marriage to your niece Miss Yan." Mrs. Shen was left out in the cold, and her face was a little unsightly, but after all, it was the Shen Mansion that was the fault of the Shen Mansion at the beginning, and she couldn't lose her temper in a hurry.
Scold! It's that time has gone back and everything is back to square one.
It is inconvenient for the elders to interject when the elders speak, and the evening face stares at the aunt directly, waiting for the aunt to respond. It's all autumn, and she's sweating all over.
Princess Qin smiled dryly: "Mrs. Shen said that she was joking, the two families have already divorced, why do you mention it again today?" ”
"Everything in the past is the fault of my son Shen Li, and it is our blessing that a good woman like Miss Yan with good character marries into the Shen Mansion."
"Don't hide it from the princess, I have refused to marry so far, my son regrets it very much, if it can be redeemed today, I will love Miss Yan wholeheartedly."
"I also love Miss Yan from the bottom of my heart......"
“……”
The more Mrs. Shen spoke, the more energetic she became, chattering endlessly, the steps on her head trembled because she spoke too hard, and a little saliva flew out of the corners of her mouth.
The young lady Qu felt that she had been slapped in the face, so she ridiculed Xiyan that no one would dare to ask for it in the future, and Zhongshu Lingfu would find such a good marriage as a son. She made a gesture and walked out of the hall door with a cold snort.
Everyone didn't have hope for this Miss Qu's etiquette, and they were not used to it.
Princess Qin was a little undecided, since Xiyan's character had stabilized Shen Li, she didn't hate this person, if Xiyan didn't understand her mind, it would be a pity to miss her beloved.
