Deng Kang immediately turned around and looked at Deng Yingniang, who had already stood up at the table.

"This mother, why did the eldest princess of Yongshou invite my eldest daughter to come over?" Deng Kang looked at Deng Yingniang, who was full of doubts and didn't seem to be fake, and turned his head to the mother-in-law politely and asked.

"Deng Xiancheng, you are also a child of a family in the imperial capital, and you should know the personality of the eldest princess of Yongshou." The mother-in-law who can be sent out to pick up Deng Yingniang is also useful in the eldest princess of Yongshou. "If your eldest daughter can get her blue eyes, it will be beneficial. Please also rest assured that the slave and maid will definitely send Miss Deng home between sunset. ”

Deng Yingniang stood stunned, and the two younger sisters sitting beside her held her hands.

"Sister, what are they here for?" The little sister tilted her head to look at her and didn't speak, and the eldest sister asked with some concern.

"It's okay, there's just a noble man who wants to see me." Deng Yingniang came back to her senses, touched her eldest sister's cheek with a smile and said. "You can take your sister to dinner."

"Yingniang, go in and freshen up, and then change into neat clothes." Deng Kang had no choice but to instruct Deng Yingniang, and after Deng Yingniang nodded and went back to the room, he said to the woman again. "My eldest daughter was born in the countryside and has no rules, but fortunately, she is still well-behaved and sensible, and I bother my mother to mention her more."

"Deng Xiancheng, where is it." The woman had obviously been instructed before she came, and her attitude was surprisingly good. "Miss Deng is a distinguished guest specially invited by the eldest princess of Yongshou, so we will naturally take care of it."

Deng Yingniang in the room cleaned her face again, changed into a slightly new dress, and pulled up her long hair.

"Alright." Deng Yingniang's appearance is really outstanding, Rao is used to seeing the mother-in-law of high-ranking ladies in the imperial capital, and she couldn't help but shake her eyes when she saw Deng Yingniang's bright appearance. "Please Miss Deng come with me in the car."

"Husband." Seeing that the eldest daughter followed the mother-in-law into the carriage, Deng Yingniang's mother looked at her husband and couldn't help but ask with some concern. "Really let's go"

Deng Yingniang was still very young when she last entered Beijing, and she was the only child in the family at that time, and the family was quite wealthy. Coincidentally, his rest day coincided with Deng Yingniang's birthday, and Deng Kang and his wife took Deng Yingniang into the imperial capital.

Deng Yingniang still remembers the events of that day, her father held her in one hand, held her mother in the other, and the family of three walked through Chang'an Street, the most prosperous street in Beijing. Deng Yingniang remembered that the sugar gourd that day was very sweet, and her father bought her a pair of silver bracelets.

Now she sat alone in the gorgeous carriage sent by the eldest princess of Yongshou's mansion, the carriage was covered with a thick carpet, and there was a very pleasant light fragrance in the carriage. Some simple furnishings in the carriage can be seen to be worth a lot.

Deng Yingniang sat in the corner, inevitably a little restrained.

The carriage walked steadily, and between the breezes, through the curtain lifted by the wind, she saw the streets she had passed by as a child, and her original nervousness gradually calmed down.

She estimated that the carriage had been gone for almost an hour before it finally stopped.

The mother-in-law who was with the car lifted the curtain and asked her to go down.

The eldest princess of Yongshou sent someone to invite Deng Yingniang to come today, but she didn't even call her second daughter-in-law, Ouyang, she was only ready to meet this girl who could make Liu Changjun take the initiative to ask for marriage.

When the mother-in-law she sent brought people back, the girl walked with her head down at first, and she wore a dress with a plain color and simple style, but she was better than being young, even if she was dressed in a plain skirt, she had a different flavor.

"I've seen the eldest princess of eternal life." Deng Yingniang was welcomed to the main hall, looked at a beautiful woman sitting on the right seat in front of her, and saw the mother-in-law next to her suggesting that she salute, so she hurriedly bowed.

"Alright, get up." Seeing that the young girl in front of her raised her head, even the eldest princess of eternal life was a little surprised. "You are Deng Yingniang."

"Yes." Deng Yingniang got up a little tremblingly.

"Don't be afraid, just sit in this position." The eldest princess of Yongshou called someone to lead Deng Yingniang to sit down in the position closest to her, and as soon as Deng Yingniang sat down, a maid stepped forward to serve tea. "Do you know why I'm seeing you?"

"I don't know." Deng Yingniang shook her head honestly.

"Speaking of which, I only have four grandchildren under my knees, and the top three are already married." The eldest princess of Yongshou said with a smile, she was quite satisfied when she saw Deng Yingniang. "There is only one grandson, and the family doesn't know how many girls he has seen for him, but he is obsessed with choosing one he likes. A few days ago, he suddenly came home and found his mother, who was also my second daughter-in-law, and begged her to come to the door for him to marry the girl of the family. ”

Deng Yingniang listened to the words of the eldest princess of Yongshou, and immediately widened her eyes in surprise.

"Looks like you really know him." The eldest princess of Yongshou looked at Deng Yingniang's reaction and said. "It's just that you don't know who he really is, do you?"

"Eldest Princess, here's the thing. For three months, I went to Wengcao Mountain outside the county to pick wild vegetables, Wengcao Mountain has many mountain streams, and I saw a young man lying down when I passed by a mountain stream. I happened to have a rope with me, so I immediately rescued him. He was injured in the legs, so I went back to the nearby village and took a pair of silver bracelets and gave them to the barefoot doctor in the village, so that he could treat the son. "Deng Yingniang simply told all the previous things." When I saw someone healing him, I departed. As a result, almost half a month later, the boy found me. He gave me back the silver bracelet that I had given to the barefoot doctor for a consultation, and said that he would marry me. I saw that his clothes and conversation were not like the sons of ordinary families, so I rejected him directly. ”

"But we learned that your mother was sick and weak, and it was quite difficult for your father to support the family alone. You have to support the work of the whole family alone, and you have to take your younger brothers and sisters with you, so you have ruined the marriage, and seeing that you are eighteen years old and have not decided on your family, you know that he is from a good background and good-looking, why don't you want to accept him? ”

"Back to the eldest princess, although I am an ordinary girl who grew up in the countryside. But my father is a county magistrate, and he also taught me to read and understand reason since I was a child. Deng Yingniang took a deep breath and replied. When I rescued him, I was only worried that he would hurt his body or his life because of it, and I never thought that he would repay me with his marriage. ”

"Your father, Deng Kang, turned out to be a son of a family in the imperial capital, and he was a partial branch of the Ding'an Hou Mansion." The eldest princess of Yongshou now has some understanding of Deng Yingniang's life experience, this girl grew up in the county, as the eldest daughter's sense of responsibility and her father's upbringing, although the rules are still worse than ordinary girls, but her appearance and bearing are still superior. "In order to marry your mother as his wife, he did not hesitate to be demoted from the imperial capital, and became a small county prince from the hot Hanlin Academy, and after his wife was weak due to dystocia, he had to rely on his thirteen-year-old eldest daughter to support the family and embroider a handkerchief to subsidize the family. Do you think your father ever regretted it? ”

"My father and mother have a good relationship, and my father said that he never regretted a day of what he did for his mother." Deng Yingniang said frankly. "Our family is poor, but our family has a deep relationship and is doing well. Eat better, eat worse, all the family is in one place, and I don't feel bitter. It's just that with his father's talent, he shouldn't just be a county prince for the rest of his life. ”

"Son, that's actually it. The door of the eldest princess's mansion is here, and the higher door than our mansion is nothing more than the royal family, but I don't want my children to continue to marry the royal family. From the time my sons and daughters started, the marriage was up to me. The eldest princess of eternal life said. You're a good boy and deserve a good marriage. If you agree to marry my grandson, will the people who originally suppressed your father and could not be promoted continue to withhold your father's official achievements after watching you marry into the eldest princess's mansion? ”

"Eldest Princess, what do you mean?" Deng Yingniang looked at the eldest princess of Yongshou in surprise.

"Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, I now think that my little grandson's vision is not bad, and he can actually fall in love with you at a glance." The eldest princess of Yongshou really doesn't value the family very much, and although Deng Yingniang's father has a low official position, he is still a child of a family. "I still have an impression of your father's events back then, he is not too old now, if he has the opportunity to be promoted to Beijing, I think he will definitely have a new future. Your two younger brothers are very talented in reading, and the private school in the county town can't compare to the Liu clan's genealogy. ”

Liu clan studies can be said to be famous in the whole Jokhang, and there are many students of Liu clan studies in each scientific examination.

"I don't want you to give me an answer right now, marriage is very important to a woman's life, you go home and discuss it with your father and mother." The eldest princess of Yongshou looked at Deng Yingniang, who was still silent with a light in her eyes, and talked about love. "In five days' time, I will send my second daughter-in-law to speak to your parents in person, and then I will tell her the answer I have decided."

Deng Yingniang seemed to be in a dream, and the mother-in-law who was sent to her was sent back home.

As soon as she pushed open the courtyard door, her two younger sisters at home immediately heard the sound and ran out.

"Yingniang, you're back." Her mother said with a sad look on her face.

"Mother, I see that your face is bad." Seeing her mother and sister, Deng Yingniang immediately said with a smile. "Is it that I haven't taken the medicine today, mother, wait a while, I'll go and boil the medicine."

"Yingniang, you ......."

"Mother, don't worry about me, the eldest princess of Yongshou didn't ask me to come over to the house." Deng Yingniang comforted her mother and helped her back to the house to lie down. "When my father comes back from duty today, I will tell you everything that the eldest princess of Yongshou said today."

In the evening, when her younger brother and sister were asleep, Deng Yingniang went to her parents' room to tell her about today's events.

"The grandson of the eldest princess of Yongshou is going to marry Yingniang!" Her mother exclaimed.

"Yingniang, what do you think?" However, Deng Kang's reaction was much calmer than his wife's, and he looked at his eldest daughter, who had a good face and was mature and sensible, and asked solemnly.

"Father, I would like to marry."
