Chapter Eighty-Nine: Marriage Proposal
The birthday banquet passed, and the matter of Yun Huannan sending a congratulatory gift to Su Jianwu was like a gust of wind blowing in Jingling City.
Su Ningxue will become the seventeenth princess and concubine, which is almost a certainty.
These days, Su Ningyou always ignores Su Ningxue when she sees her, Su Ningxue is too lazy to explain, besides, she can't explain, it is impossible to tell Su Ningyou that everything is cooperation. She herself is still living in dire straits, how can she take care of others.
On this day, Liu came to visit.
"Snow."
"Miss, the second lady is here."
Su Ningxue was lying on the desk looking through the samples of several clothes that Xuan Yibing had just sent, Ling Hui walked in to report, and as soon as the words fell, Liu's voice sounded immediately.
"Second aunt." Su Ningxue was stunned, pressed down the drawings, and got up to meet her.
"Why does the second aunt have time to come to my yard? Is there something going on? β
Liu smiled, it was the first time he was so affectionate to Su Ningxue, took her hand, sat aside and said, "Hey, it's nothing, it's not like I've been back for a long time, I don't have time to come to you to take a look, the second aunt came to see if everything is okay with you, and if there is anything missing." β
"Oh, I'm fine." Su Ningxue smiled awkwardly and wanted to withdraw her hand, but Liu's grip was tight, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
Liu's eyes rolled around, looked inside the room, and said with emotion: "Hey, the last time I came here, it was when your mother was here, she was kind and often invited me to come over to talk, and we had a good relationship at that time." Who would have thought that later, hey......"
Liu sighed again.
Su Ningxue understood that the Liu family was saying that after Youjia Shuning left the house, the Erfang family was also driven away not long after.
"Second aunt doesn't have to be sad, my mother has such a temperament, I am afraid that I am more comfortable and comfortable living in another village."
"Yes, yes, yes. Your mother, it's different from ordinary women. β
"Hmm." Su Ningxue nodded.
Liu's eyes rolled, and there was nothing to say.
"Second aunt, can you tell me if you have something?" Su Ningxue said directly.
From the moment the Liu family entered the door, she decided that the Liu family had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. Everything in Youshu Garden was personally dotted by the weaving and embroidery grandmother before, although it was the Cai family in power, but in terms of food and clothing, the Cai family has never deducted.
This is where Cai's cleverness lies, she doesn't leave a handle for others on the surface.
Therefore, there is nothing in the garden that needs to be added or modified.
"Hehehe, that's... The second aunt said it directly. Liu laughed embarrassedly, patted Su Ningxue's hand and said, "Isn't it a few days ago, it was rumored that you were going to marry the virtuous prince."
You also know that my family Ning You has always liked the prince. I came to you, just to ask, can you talk to the prince before you get married, and by the way, you will marry my family Ningyou together, my requirements are not high, just seal a side concubine.
You can also rest assured, Ning You'll never steal your limelight when you get married, and you won't be jealous when you marry. You two sisters just cooperate well and take care of the prince. β
When Liu said this, Su Ningxue was completely dumbfounded.
I've heard of getting married and marrying maids, and in the past, they used to compete for favor. I've never heard of marrying my sister with me.
"Second aunt, you're really embarrassing me. Who the prince wants to marry, which one can be decided by me. Don't say that I can't control it, I'm afraid that the prince himself is also careful to listen to the holy decree. β
Su Ningxue moved the cloud fold out of the hoof, which meant to tell Liu euphemistically that she couldn't help with this matter.
But he didn't want to, when Liu Shi heard this, his face suddenly turned a little colder.
"Ning Xue, I'm not trying to embarrass you. Aren't I also thinking about you, you said that now that the emperor is choosing a concubine for the prince, how many people are eyeing up to marry into the palace, rather than letting those who are unfamiliar and have wolf ambitions occupy the position.
You might as well choose someone who knows the roots. Ning You's straight and good-tempered, don't you know everything, you marry together and help each other, how good it is. β
"Second aunt." Su Ningxue lowered her head slightly, picked up the teacup with her other hand, and took a shallow sip, "You blame me for not wanting to help, think I want to be a sole pet." I really can't help with that. I don't know if the prince will choose me in the end, and how can I help Sister Ning You speak. β
"But it's all rumored outsideβ"
"Mother! What are you begging her to do here! β
Liu's face turned completely cold, and before he finished speaking, another figure rushed in at the door. glared at Su Ningxue angrily, and wrote all the pent-up dissatisfaction on his face these days.
"Sister Ningyou." Su Ningxue got up, called softly, and took the opportunity to withdraw her hand from Liu's hand.
"Don't call me, I'm not your sister, and I don't care to be a liar's sister. said that he was not familiar with the prince, and even took out the prince's gift on his hind feet, hum, Su Ningxue, you really think that others are fools, and you are playing with it. β
"Whether I am familiar with the prince or not, what does it have to do with his gift in my hands? Even if they really know each other, why should I tell the world? To get into trouble like today? Su Ningxue's face also turned cold.
Her politeness is a sign of respect for her family. Since others don't appreciate it, why should she keep pleasing low.
"I'm still the same sentence, I can't help with this matter, if you have the ability, go to the prince and find the emperor yourself. With me, it is impossible to get any guarantees. β
"Youβ"
"Mother! Let's go back! I'll just wait to see her marry into the mansion of the virtuous king, and see how long she can be proud. β
Su Ningyou pulled Liu away, and when they were far away, Ling Hui walked in from outside the door and looked at Su Ningxue helplessly.
"In the past, I looked at the second lady quite well, but I didn't expect to make such a request. Miss, don't be sad about this, no matter how bad it is, you can endure until you marry into the palace, and you can't see it in the future. β
"Hmm." Su Ningxue rubbed her head. Today's Liu's appearance really surprised her and gave her a headache.
In the past, I only saw that Liu's was difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect that the brain circuit was even more strange than Cai's.
You want to marry your daughter, and you asked the matchmaker to get married, but you actually ran to her. She has no power or power, and she doesn't even favor her father, where did she come from to convince Yun Huanan.
"Miss, will the second lady go to the second master to intercede?"
Su Jin had just heard the conversation outside the door, she was calmer than Ling, so naturally she would not run in to complain at the first time, but pondered how to solve this matter and how it would develop in the future.
Su Ningxue was stunned, and said a little weakly: "I hope not." β
And when Liu returned to the courtyard, he did go to find Su Jianbin, and Su Jianbin was really stunned when he heard Liu's words.
"What did you say you were going to ask for?"
"Let her bring Yu'er over." Liu's face was taken for granted, and Su Jianbin listened, only feeling that his old face had been lost. "What about when you go to the market to buy groceries? Look like this, and by the way, bring the other one too? β
"Liu Yunqian, Liu Yunqian! That's the emperor's own brother, the most favored seventeenth prince! Not to mention whether Ning Xue girl will be selected, even if she is selected, what do you let her say? My sister likes you, and you married you by the way?
That's the royal family of Qingcang Kingdom! It's really so easy to enter, how many women in the world are better than your daughter, can the royal family marry this prince? Whoever marries will drag the family with him, do you really think that a person has ascended to heaven! β
"I, I"
After Su Jianbin finished speaking in one breath, Liu was stunned by the questioning.
Her daughter is no worse than Su Ningxue, how can Su Ningxue be chosen, but her daughter can't? She asked for the position of a side concubine, but she didn't ask for a concubine.
"I don't care, you go to her anyway and talk to her. You'er got married, don't you also get wet. β
"I won't say it, I still want this face."
Su Jianbin saw that it didn't make sense, so he simply left the house and went out to the store to have a look. met Su Ningxue by chance at the gate, and his face turned red in an instant.
"Second uncle." Su Ningxue chuckled and saluted, no different from usual. Su Jianbin moved his feet and walked towards her. "Ning Xue, I'm really sorry to cause you trouble."
"The second uncle is serious, but I've always been afraid that the second uncle will blame me, but I can't help with this, the prince-"
"I understand, I understand. To be honest, I'd rather marry an ordinary family and do business like me. The royal family, it's too complicated, I'm afraid that she will marry and live soon, she is not better than you, alert and smart, and driven. β
"Hehe, the second uncle has won the prize." This chuckle, Su Ningxue was sincere.
After all, she is in charge of the second shop with Su Jianbin, if Su Jianbin also stiffens and quits, she really doesn't know where to find an experienced and trustworthy person.
"Second Uncle is going to the store, right?"
"Yes, at home-" Su Jianbin's face was embarrassed again, and Su Ningxue smiled and said, "Let's go together, I just happened to go to the store to have a look." β
"Okay."
The two left together in a carriage. Seeing them get out of the carriage and enter the store at the same time, Xuan Yibing didn't react for a while, and it took a while to remember that these two people were relatives living in Su Mansion.
"You've been idle these days, aren't you? Come to the store if you have something to do? β
"Come to oversee you, to prevent you from being lazy." Su Ningxue laughed with Xuan Yibing, and at the same time handed him the drawings he had seen before, "Look, it's not bad, let's make a sample of the top few pieces first, and the following sets, I think I can do it next month." Just in case, you can't draw a picture in the second half of the month. β
"Hey, look down on me." As he spoke, he put the drawings away.
At this time, Ling Hui and Su Jin settled down in the carriage and walked into the store, Su Jin stood quietly behind Su Ningxue, Ling Hui poked her head out from time to time, and then approached Su Ningxue and said: "Miss, I see it's very lively over there, if you have nothing to do, why don't you let me take a vacation for a while and let me go for a walk, right?" β
Ling Hui refers to Liu Bucheng, who went out of the house today and went home to help, obviously taking more money than her, and even taking vacations from time to time.
"Okay, let's go. Bring me something delicious to eat. Su Ningxue said indifferently, and then took Su Jin to the back hall, accompanied Su Jianbin and Xuan Yibing, and then took a look at the latest skin care products.
