Chapter 41: Tempting the Mind (1)
Mingyun replied that night, and two days later, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shang Liyuan asked Manmu to reveal the news to Shang Sihao, and the follow-up matter was not within Shang Liyuan's consideration.
Two days later.
"Sister, are you up?" Before Shang Liyuan got up, she heard Shang Sihao's voice from the yard, and someone disturbed her dream early in the morning, which made Shang Liyuan a little unhappy.
"Pods." Ignoring Shang Sihao, he directly let Pod Er enter the house and wait for him to wash.
And Shang Sihao, who was outside the door, saw that the door of his sister's house was closed, and he was so anxious that he went back and forth in the corridor, and the flowers and trees on the side were a little speechless when they saw such a Shang Sihao, his own master was calm, generous and wise, how could there be such a brother?
Shang Sihao didn't have the heart to deal with these two maids, and was focused on his sister's party with Mingyun today.
After waiting outside for a quarter of an hour, the door of Shang Liyuan's house was opened.
Shang Sihao rushed in without thinking, and saw that Pod'er was combing Shang Liyuan's hair, "sister", just after screaming, he didn't know what to say, and looked at Shang Liyuan with some surprise.
Shang Liyuan glanced at her anxious brother through the mirror, and most of the displeasure that was woken up was dissipated, "Brother disturbs people's dreams early in the morning, what's the urgency?" ”
Shang Sihao looked at his sister with a knowing look, and was even more embarrassed, and knew that he was too anxious, so he had to laugh, "Isn't my sister going to have a banquet for Miss Ming today?" ”
After Shang Sihao finished asking, he wanted to wait for his sister to answer, and then say the next words, but Shang Liyuan didn't answer, which made Shang Sihao a little anxious and helpless, his sister has always been so mature and thoughtful, which makes him a big pressure to be an elder brother.
After waiting for a long time, Shang Sihao knew that Shang Liyuan had made up her mind not to answer, so he simply let go and said, "My brother is going to work on an errand today, and it will take the afternoon to return to the mansion, I wonder if my sister can leave Miss Ming in the mansion for dinner before leaving?" ”
When Shang Liyuan heard Shang Sihao's words, she turned her head and looked straight at Shang Sihao, and said word by word, "Does my brother know what I'm talking about?" Sister Yun will come to the mansion in the morning, how can she keep people until dinner? Besides, you let a girl's family go home after dark, and you are not afraid that the road will be unsafe? Really, only my brother's brain can think of it. ”
After speaking, he stopped talking to Shang Sihao, got up and walked outside the house.
When Shang Sihao heard his sister's words, he realized that yes, his thoughts were so simple.
But when I thought that I couldn't leave today, I would need to come back at night, and I wanted to see Shang Mingyun, and I began to feel difficult, why don't I ask for a day off? Say you're sick? Shang Sihao, who was still in trouble, hadn't reacted before he realized that his sister had already gone out of the room.
It was Aru who reminded Shang Sihao to go out in stride to catch up with his sister's pace.
"Brother, don't you have to be on duty today? Are you still in the house at this hour? Shang Liyuan glanced at Shang Sihao, who was following up.
"How about you say my brother takes a day off today?" Shang Sihao's words made Shang Liyuan stand still, and then looked at Shang Sihao, the seriousness in his eyes made Shang Sihao a little worried.
"In the eyes of my brother, is my child's personal relationship more important than my own future?" Shang Liyuan's words made Shang Sihao stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. After Shang Liyuan finished speaking, she didn't wait for Shang Sihao's reaction, and walked towards the Qin family's Lily Garden with her maid.
Leaving Shang Sihao alone in place, he went on an errand after thinking about it.
Lily Garden.
"Mother." Shang Liyuan first gave the Qin family a salute, looked at Shang Kang, and then sat down for breakfast.
"I invited the eldest lady of the Ming family to come over today?" Qin looked at Shang Liyuan with a smile.
Shang Liyuan was helpless, knowing what her mother wanted to ask. For so many years, there are very few young ladies who have invited him to the house, and Shang Sihao does not hide his thoughts at all in front of his relatives, although he did not say it bluntly in front of the Qin family, but the Qin family is not stupid, and his son's mind is also a big one.
"Well, I was trying to talk to my mother today." Shang Liyuan straightened her face, "My brother inadvertently said about Sister Xin Yueyun a few days ago. I thought that my mother was also busy showing my brother these days, since my brother has someone he likes, it is better to invite Sister Yun to come over and test Sister Yun's mind. ”
"If Sister Yun is interested in her brother, then settle it earlier. The elder brother has a simple temperament and does not have many complicated thoughts, Sister Yun was born, and the etiquette and bearing are all present. ”
The Qin clan heard Shang Liyuan's words, and it took a long time to figure it out.
Yes, as a housewife, first of all, you have to have the means and the background to stand up. And this person is his own son's favorite, more or less affectionate there, even in the future... I won't let the concubine be humiliated.
Qin nodded, "Then do you think I need to meet the eldest lady of the Ming family today?" ”
Shang Liyuan shook her head, "Sister Yun came to the house today, and her daughter was invited in her own name, which is not suitable for her mother." ”
The Qin family was a little regretful, and originally wanted to meet this person who made his son happy, and then thought that if the eldest lady of the Ming family also nodded, then she would be a daughter-in-law from now on, and she would not worry about seeing her.
If Shang Liyuan knew what her mother was thinking now, she was afraid that she would have to complain, these eight characters have not been brushed yet, even if Ming Yun nodded, she still had to discuss marriage with the Ming family, and she had to see the attitude of the Ming family, and now she will look at Ming Yun as a daughter-in-law, I have to say that the Qin family is really heartbroken for Shang Sihao.
After finishing the meal, Shang Liyuan went back to Liyuan and waited for Mingyun to come over.
In front of the bookcase, Shang Liyuan waved away the maid, leaving only Ah Ru to serve.
"What has the eldest prince been doing lately?" Although Shang Liyuan let people monitor the eldest prince's every move, she rarely asked about the eldest prince's affairs.
"The eldest prince has been a little too much with the Gu family recently, and the Gu family knows that the royal family plans to choose a concubine for the prince at the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they are planning this matter with the eldest prince." Ah Ru replied respectfully, "How many young ladies did the Gu family choose..."
Speaking of this, Aru paused, and saw Shang Liyuan frowning, so he had to bite the bullet and continue, "Among them, you and the eldest lady of the Ming family are on the list. Originally, the eldest prince refused the Gu family's proposal, but after seeing the list, he somehow agreed again. ”
When Shang Liyuan heard this, she was even more puzzled, although she would not deliberately inquire about Jing Yu, but she had also heard everyone say that the eldest prince did not talk much on weekdays, but he was extremely gentle, rarely argued with people and did not care about others, to put it simply, he was a little sheep, docile and easy to bully.
"In addition to the prince's choice of concubines, will he also look at the clan family?" Shang Liyuan suddenly diverted the topic.
"Yes, the son of Prince Heng and the grandson of King Ning will also elect concubines in this Mid-Autumn Festival."
"I know, today I will test Sister Yun's mind first, if Sister Yun also likes her brother, find a way to remove her from the list."
"Yes."
