Chapter 40: The Banquet, Matchmaking
Summer goes to autumn, the cool wind, silently blocked out of the door, unable to enter the world inside the door, just because the outside of the door belongs to nature, but the inside of the door belongs to life. It wasn't until the people inside the door saw a few golden touches of fallen leaves outside the door through the window that Shang Liyuan realized something.
"My brother has been out very hard lately?" Shang Liyuan looked at the leaves that began to fall outside the courtyard and asked Ah Ru, who was waiting beside her.
"Yes, I've been very close to the son of the Laiguo Mansion recently." Aru knew what his master wanted to ask.
Shang Liyuan smiled when she heard it, "Speaking of which, my brother is also a big man, and it's time to start a family. ”
"That's what Miss said."
"The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace is about to be held, right?" Shang Liyuan turned around and walked to the desk, picked up the book on the table and looked at it, and the autumn scene outside the window was retracted into the small window.
"The information from the palace is coming soon, and the ladies in the palace are ready to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to choose the princess for the prince." After Aru told Shang Liyuan about the information he obtained, he glanced at Shang Liyuan, and then said, "But the palace will test it under the banner of choosing a concubine for the emperor." ”
Shang Liyuan put down the book in her hand and looked at Ah Ru, "Whose idea was this?" ”
"It's a young concubine."
Shang Liyuan was a little surprised, "Why is her?" ”
"The young concubine only has one daughter, and she did not give birth to a prince, so naturally she does not need to participate in this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but the two mothers are different, if you are under the banner of choosing a concubine for the prince, then these ladies must be full of energy to show themselves, if it is the emperor who chooses a concubine, it is different, the emperor is not young, even if he can give birth to a son in the palace, it is difficult to say whether he can survive or not, not to mention the background of the three adult princes and the two little princes today should not be underestimated."
Shang Liyuan nodded.
It's right to think about it carefully, the emperor and those ladies in the palace naturally hope to see the true appearance of the ladies, rather than letting them show their best state, it is better to see what they don't want to show.
"I'm afraid that there are not a few people who know the real intention of the Mid-Autumn Festival." Aru didn't answer when she heard Shang Liyuan's words.
Shang Liyuan picked up the book on the table again and read it.
After a while, I suddenly remembered that at this time in my previous life, the seventh prince had already married, and he was married to the third prince soon after the wedding, and this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was afraid that there were many happy events.
Shang Liyuan unconsciously remembered the words of the old ancestor, "Yu'er, that kid has a pure heart, you have a deep relationship with him, and you have to protect him a lot in the future." With a sigh, the old ancestor just didn't say the words 'marry him'.
Jing Yu in the previous life was indeed pitiful, although he did not have the idea of handing over his body and mind in this life, but for the person that the ancestor asked to take care of, Shang Liyuan sighed more frequently.
Aru saw Shang Liyuan, who had been sighing, laughed in her heart, the request of the old ancestor and the degree of monitoring of the eldest prince by the master, you know that Shang Liyuan was dissatisfied and helpless.
"Sister, see what good things my brother bought you?" Shang Sihao took a break today, so he didn't have to go on an errand, so he made an appointment with the son of the Laiguo Mansion to go out early, but he didn't expect to come back so early today.
Before the people entered the house, the sound had already penetrated the entire courtyard.
Shang Liyuan put down the book that she hadn't read a word, and stood up to face Shang Sihao.
Shang Sihao walked into the house, pulled Shang Liyuan and walked to the table, found a random place to sit down, and did not forget to pull Shang Liyuan to sit down as well. Then he hurriedly took out a beaded hairpin from his waist and handed it to Shang Liyuan like a treasure, "Sister take a look, do you like it?" ”
Shang Liyuan took the hairpin, looked at it, put down the hairpin and blackened her face.
Shang Sihao saw that Shang Liyuan had a black face and didn't speak, so he hurriedly asked, "Doesn't my sister like it?" ”
Shang Liyuan rolled her eyes, "Brother, sister doesn't like beaded flowers, so naturally she doesn't like this beaded hairpin." ”
"Huh? Don't you like bead flowers? I thought you girls liked it..."Shang Sihao frowned, as if he was thinking about Shang Liyuan's preferences.
When Shang Liyuan saw Shang Sihao like this, she couldn't stop being happy, "If my sister remembers correctly, Sister Yun likes bead tweed very much." And ah, it's a jewelry that loves beads. After speaking, he looked at the beaded hairpin on the table with bad intentions, and then looked at Shang Sihao.
Shang Sihao was really embarrassed by his sister, scratched his head, and smiled.
Seeing this, Shang Liyuan stopped teasing her brother, and picked up the beaded hairpin, "What did you say I bought for me, hey, sure enough, I forgot my sister when I had a sweetheart." ”
Shang Sihao was teased by his sister, his face was even more flushed, and he didn't know what to say stupidly.
"Since my brother likes Sister Yun, this beaded hairpin should be given to Sister Yun by my brother in person, so that it seems sincere, and now the two of you are already weak, and the other has passed the crown, if you like each other, it is clear to your mother, and it is right for your mother to find the official media to come to the door to propose marriage. What's the use of just pleasing someone's brother? ”
Shang Liyuan said a lot in one breath, and Shang Sihao, who listened to it, was stunned, but if you think about it, isn't it a waste of time for you to do this? It's better to find out about Mingyun's thoughts as soon as possible, so that he can let his mother come to the door as soon as possible.
Shang Liyuan looked at her stupid brother, and knew that he couldn't think of anything, so she glanced at Shang Sihao, who was still thinking deeply, "Brother, don't think too much, in two days, I will invite Sister Yun to come to the house to sit and test Sister Yun's thoughts." ”
When Shang Sihao heard this, he couldn't hide the joy on his face, and the way he wanted to speak made Shang Liyuan dislike him fiercely, "If my brother is fine, go to the office, I don't get in the way of my sister's eyes here." ”
"Then please sister." Shang Sihao got up and bowed to Shang Liyuan, Shang Liyuan saw her brother's serious appearance, and her heart was both distressed and helpless. Hey, forget it, who made him his own stupid brother.
"Let's go, let's go." As he spoke, he pushed Shang Sihao, watched Shang Sihao leave, and then stood up and walked to the desk, and then instructed Pod to take the post and invite Mingyun to come to the house for a gathering in two days.
As soon as Pod left, only Shang Liyuan was left in the house, but Shang Liyuan recalled the Laiguo Mansion in the previous life, the Laiguo Mansion has always remained neutral, and even Mingyun, the concubine, married to the far side of the house, just so as not to be involved in the seizure of the heir, but the road to the side is long and difficult, how can Mingyun, a girl who grew up in the capital, stand it?
Later, I heard that he also encountered a rogue on the way and died at the hands of a rogue robber.
If in this life, Mingyun and her brother really like each other, I don't mind matching the two, Mingyun and my brother are also compatible, and they will definitely be able to get along well in the future.
