Chapter Twenty-Six: The Favor of the King of the Realm
I thought that it would take two or three days for the matchmaker to come to propose marriage at the earliest, but who knew that Su Zhijing had just walked out of the door for only three or four hours, and a matchmaker dressed up came to the inn.
"Ouch, I'll just say which girl can make the prince of our realm so important, I have to carry a big sedan chair to marry Ming Media, and when I see it today, she is really as beautiful as a fairy."
The matchmaker squinted at Gui Longqin, but muttered in her heart, isn't this the Fujin Guilongqin of the former realm of the king's mansion, and the matchmaker who did it herself went to the prime minister's mansion to propose marriage, and now the prince of this realm is singing. However, this matchmaker has seen the world and quickly calmed down.
"I said this matchmaker, the prince of this realm wants to marry my sister as his wife, why doesn't he even have a decent dowry, isn't it a bit unreasonable?" Yumei said.
"Look at what this girl said, isn't this dowry here, the prince has already prepared it."
I saw that the matchmaker took out a palm-sized box from her cuff and carefully handed it into Gui Longqin's hand.
"No, this prince is too stingy, just send us away with such a thing." The purple smoke is out of breath.
"Don't be angry, the prince said, Miss Gui is different from ordinary women, send those gold and silver jewelry for fear of hurting the girl's fairy spirit, although the contents of this box are not worth much, but for the prince is the most precious, but the prince also said, only Miss Gui is allowed to pass alone."
"Really? You must not lie to us. Yumei said.
"How dare you, who in this capital doesn't know that the prince of the realm is a man with iron and blood."
"Sister Gui, go to the back room and take a look, Sister Yu and I are here to help you guard it."
Gui Longqin walked to the back room and opened the box.
"Isn't this what the master handed over to me in Xianyunguan that day, and said that this thing can command the world's soldiers and horses, how can it be in the hands of Su Zhijing, does the master's death really have anything to do with him?"
Sure enough, just like Su Zhijing said, this box is just a purple wrench that looks inconspicuous, and the material is astringent, and it doesn't look like a good jade, but the wrench finger is carved with a dragon with very fine lines, and the dragon's eyes are staring at Gui Longqin, as if he wants to force her to make some decision.
It is said that the prince of the realm is extremely brave, kind-hearted, and loves the people like a son, and is the best candidate to inherit the unification in the future, but why would he give such an important thing to himself now? Gui Longqin still couldn't figure it out, and what he didn't understand was how this wrench ran from her body to Su Zhijing's hand.
"Girl, the prince is still waiting for you to reply."
The voice of the matchmaker outside the door made Gui Longqin come back to her senses, carefully put away the wrench, sorted out her thoughts and walked out of the back room.
"Trouble the matchmaker to go back and tell the prince that I agree to marry him, but I don't have to make too much fanfare, I just need to find a palanquin man tomorrow and take me into the house from the back door."
"How can this be done, the prince will definitely not wronged the girl."
"You just say it's what I mean, if you can't do it, then not only will I not marry, but I will spread the word everywhere that he is a negative person."
"Okay, I'll go back and report to the prince." After saying that, the matchmaker walked out without looking back.
"Sister, have you really thought about marrying that prince? Aren't you afraid of being abandoned by him again? ”
"Sister Yu, don't you also want me to marry into the palace? Why are you worried again this time? ”
"Before, it was because I thought that although this prince looked frivolous, he was not bad to you, and he was also a responsible and good man, but now that I think about it carefully, it is not so simple, could it be that I want to borrow you to achieve something, otherwise I wouldn't have called someone to propose marriage so quickly."
"I don't think so, although he is a little reckless to me, but his mind is very delicate, if he just wants to use me, why bother to ask a matchmaker to marry me, since I used to be his princess, and I have lost my memory, I think returning to the palace can restore my memory."
"What Sister Gui said makes sense, but can you take me with you when you go to the palace? Otherwise I'll miss you. ”
"Silly girl, you and I are like sisters, I will naturally take you with me wherever I go."
"Then Sister Yu, will you come with us?"
"I... I won't go with you."
"Understand, after all, the Great Prince and Su Zhijing are two different camps, and your going to the palace will only make your relationship with the Great Prince more awkward."
"Thank you for understanding me, but I will find a place not far from the palace to live, and you and Ziyan can come to me if you have anything."
"It's not that we'll never see you again, why be so sad, the most important thing for us at the moment is to prepare a dowry for Sister Gui."
"Yes, yes, then I'll go."
The three girls dressed as sons walked on the road of people coming and going, especially attracting people's eyes, although the capital is big, but I have never seen three big men so interested in cleaning up.
"You see this pair of silver bracelets is so beautiful, and it looks good on your hand."
"These earrings are also good, just right for tomorrow."
"You two restrain yourself, we shouldn't be able to go back if we continue like this." Gui Longqin prompted.
Ziyan and Yumei turned around to find that there was already a circle of people standing behind them, and they spoke with a look of admiration and shock.
"It's a pity that such a beautiful three sons are so interested in women's things."
"Yes, it would be nice to be my son-in-law, it's a pity."
At this time, a person dressed as a small servant suddenly walked out of the crowd, and the man whispered to Gui Longqin.
"Girl, the prince ordered me to tell the girl that everything she needs for tomorrow has been prepared, and the girl only needs to go back to the inn to see it."
"We changed into this costume, how did you recognize it, and how did the prince know my preferences, what if I didn't like what he chose?"
"Master, don't you really remember me, I am the master who has been following your path in the palace before, how can I not recognize my master because I have changed my body after so many years with you, as for the prince, I have never forgotten what Fu Jin likes, even the room where Fu Jin lived is the same as when you left, the prince does not allow anyone to enter, and I am left alone to take care of it."
"I see, I'm sorry, Xiaoluzi, I can't remember what happened before after I got sick."
"It's okay, Fujin will go back to the palace in the future, and if you have time to think about it, come back to the inn with me now."
Picking up the crowd and sitting in a sedan chair, the three sons finally left people's sight.
In fact, this shop is only a few minutes' walk from the inn, and this Su Zhijing is so exaggerated that it uses a six-person sedan chair to carry them back.
Soon I arrived at the inn, and as soon as I stepped through the door, I found that the inn that was originally overcrowded was already empty, and the rest of the people were all servants who had come to prepare for tomorrow.
"Master, come and take a look, this prince has put a lot of thought into it."
