Chapter 438: Slackness
The gate of Chu Mansion. A horse-drawn carriage stopped.
Out of it came a lame youth.
The young man glanced at the Chu Mansion in front of him and said to the servant beside him, "Knock on the door." ”
The servant immediately went and knocked at the door.
Knock knock!
The door opens. A head poked out of it.
"Who?"
"We belong to the Duke of Lingguo. This is our eldest son. I came to propose to Miss Chu today. ”
The servant of the Chu Mansion glanced at the young man and said with a solemn expression: "Wait a minute, I will report to the lord and the lady immediately." ”
The door closed again.
Seeing this, the servant of the Ling State Mansion returned to the eldest prince of the Ling Mansion and said, "Master, this Chu Mansion has a big shelf. It's just a ......."
The servant didn't finish his words, and when he saw the sharp expression of the eldest prince of the Ling Mansion, he immediately shut up.
"In the future, the people of Chu Mansion will be the in-laws of our Lingguo Mansion. If you are rude to them, you are disrespectful to the Ling Guo Mansion. Grand Master Ling said lightly. People who are disrespectful to the Ling Guo Mansion usually have only one result. ”
"Yes, yes. The minion is convicted. The servant confessed with his mouth, but his heart was not satisfied.
Who doesn't know that the eldest girl of the Chu family is happy even if she marries? According to the situation of their sons, they are afraid that they will be widowed when they first get married. Looking at the menacing Duchess of Ling Guo, this in-law is only recognized by the eldest prince Ling, and the rest of the Ling Mansion will not admit it.
The official media said next to him: "I have long heard that the Chu family relies on the eldest girl of the Chu family. Now that the eldest girl of the Chu family has married into the Ling Mansion, it means that the Ling Mansion has an extra cash cow! Congratulations to the eldest son, congratulations to the eldest prince. ”
The corners of Grand Prince Ling's mouth twitched slightly: "You mean to say that our Ling Mansion needs to rely on a woman?" ”
That's not what the women meant. Look at what the eldest prince said, the Lingguo Mansion is a big family, where do you need to rely on women? The official media laughed dryly.
The door opened again. Chu Dashan and the Yu clan came out of it.
Behind them, Xiao Yu and Su Huiniang also followed.
Grand Prince Ling has seen Su Huiniang. After all, she is also a young lady now, and she is in the same circle as Ling Dagongzi.
Chu Dashan looked at the large and small boxes carried by the servant in front of him. The boxes were tied with red silk.
Passers-by were talking to them. You don't have to listen to it to know that they are talking about Chu Yuqin marrying Chong Xi.
"The younger generation has seen Master Chu and Mrs. Chu." Grand Prince Ling saluted first.
Xiao Yu looked at the young man in front of him.
He is somewhat similar to Ling Shengyi.
Just by virtue of those similarities, his appearance is not bad. It's just that there is no temperature in those eyes, which is very different from the feeling that Ling Shengyi gives people.
"Ling Gongzi." Chu Dashan gave his hand.
Yu and Xiao Yu saluted.
"We'll be a family from now on. Don't be polite to the lord and the lady. Otherwise, it's rude for me, a junior. Grand Prince Ling said, "Presumably, you have received the emperor's decree on marriage. The purpose of my coming should also be clear. Grand Prince Ling said, "This is our Ling Mansion's dowry. ”
"This is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk about it!" Su Huiniang said lightly: "The Ling Guo Mansion is also a big family with a head and a face. Interviewing such an important matter in front of outsiders will inevitably give a sense of contempt to one person. ”
"Mrs. Tong is very right. It's a little bit of a thought out. Grand Prince Ling said, "Please forgive me." ”
Su Huiniang's gaze swept over Grand Prince Ling.
He specifically mentioned 'Lady Tong', apparently saying that she was nosy. This Ling Dagongzi is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
I really don't know what my cousin thinks.
Ling Shizi was unconscious, she actually chose to marry into the Ling family at this time. Even if she is not afraid of being widowed, isn't she afraid that these people will eat even the bones left?
The servants of the Ling Mansion carried the dowry inside.
There are dozens of large and small boxes. The mighty dowry caused gossip among the people of the city.
"What a battle! See those boxes? We, ordinary people, can get one of these things without worrying about food and clothing. I really envy Miss Chu! If the Ling Guo Mansion is willing to use such a dowry to marry the girl of my family, let alone marry the girl to Chongxi, even if it is a funeral! ”
"Phew! What to accompany the funeral? Ling Shizi is living well, don't curse him. The person next to him said, "The Ling family's dowry is really good. But in my opinion, the dowry of the Chu family will not be bad. With financial resources, where is the Chu family inferior to the Ling family? I think Miss Chu and Ling Shizi are a good match. ”
"Of course it would have been a good match if it had been before. But now Ling Shizi is ......"
In the main courtyard of Chu Mansion. The official media said good things about Ling Shengyi, and praised Chu Yuqin again.
The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat solemn. The people of the Chu family didn't speak, and the eldest prince Ling didn't speak, only the official media said nice things vigorously.
But no matter how much sycophants there are, without anyone cooperating, the official media can't shoot it.
"Ling Gongzi, we don't talk darkly. This family affair is given by the emperor himself, and you and I can only abide by it. Then let's not waste each other's time. Everything is done according to the rules. Chu Dashan said: "It's just that judging from the rules, your mansion doesn't respect our Chu family very much. You should know that the parents should be present on both sides. What about the elders of your Ling Mansion? ”
"My father is running an errand for the emperor, and I can't get away for a while. My mother has always been sick. This time it was even more unfortunate, and I couldn't even get out of bed. Mother means that I am the eldest son and can represent the Lingguo Mansion. If she dragged her sick body to see the two, it would add bad luck to the couple. Old Man and Mrs. Chu don't want to do this either, do they? Of course, please forgive me for the neglect. It's a special moment after all. If it weren't for the rush, it wouldn't be so rushed. ”
"What does Grand Prince Ling mean that the girl of our Chu family is in a hurry to marry into your Ling family?" Su Huiniang said: "If you say something like this, you can say it to the Queen Mother." If the Queen Mother knew the meaning of your mansion, she would not force your Ling family to marry a girl from our Chu family. ”
"Is Mrs. Tong too sensitive and sensitive? This childe didn't mean that. We only have three days. There are many things to prepare for these three days. Rest assured, our Ling family will not treat Miss Chu badly. She is willing to marry her second brother, because she values love and righteousness. Even if the second brother ......"
"If you don't, forget it." The Yu clan interrupted Grand Prince Ling's words. "Please go back and tell the lord and lady of your mansion that even if this family affair is given by the emperor himself, it does not mean that they can snub our girl. If they don't follow the rules, we will only be disrespectful. Even if the emperor blames it, our Chu family is understandable. And whether the title of your mansion can be kept, it depends on the emperor's mood. ”
Everyone looked at Yu with a look of surprise.
The Yu clan has never been so strong.
This is simply the first time in history.
