Chapter 276: Matchmaking
Xi Junlan said righteously, and the three little girls' heads were almost hanging to their chests, and they were so frightened that they snuggled up to each other.
At this time, Xi Junmei, who had been watching from the side, smiled and said, "Okay, it's good to know the stakes, and pay more attention to the mansion in the future." ”
Xi Junmei pulled the three of them, "Give Junlan a compensation, and this matter will be over." ”
The three girls dared not listen, saluted and admitted their mistakes, and their attitudes were respectful.
Xi Junlan sighed secretly, nodded and led the three of them back to the north courtyard.
In the courtyard of Listening to the wind, not long after Ayu sat down, Xiao Nuan came in and whispered a few words to her.
"Then the four girls of the Xi family really said that?" Ayu was a little surprised.
"Niangniang, there is something wrong with this, the mother-in-law heard it with her own ears, and that person didn't dare to add oil and vinegar, which can be assured."
Xiao Nuan frowned, the four girls of the Xi family were too presumptuous, and they said His Royal Highness so ruthlessly.
At the beginning, the two side concubines of Han Su were obviously poisoned to death, and those women in the backyard were all widowed, what was wrong with His Royal Highness letting them live, it was obviously kindness, how could it come out of her mouth, the meaning was reversed.
Ayu raised her eyebrows, but smiled lightly, "It seems that those four girls are still clear-minded." Xiao Nuan, you go and inquire to see if she has promised others. ”
"Mother, what are you asking for?"
Xiao Nuan is a little unclear, why isn't Niangniang angry.
"It's useful, you can inquire first."
"Yes."
In the afternoon, Xiao Nuan brought back the news that Junlan was sixteen years old and had not yet been married.
Generally, at this age, even if you don't get married, you will be married, but there have been many wars in the past two years, and the men of the Xi family are not at home, so the family affairs have been delayed like this.
Ayu was secretly happy in her heart, and after thinking about it, she asked Xiao Nuan, "Do you think that the fourth lady of the Xi family will be worthy of my eldest brother?" ”
Xiao Nuan was surprised, but to say that the two must be a good match, one is a good king's deputy general, and the other is behind the door, and the door is right!
That night, Wei Li returned from the front yard, and the family sent their son away after dinner, and Ayu found an opportunity to mention the thoughts in his heart.
"What do you want to do, matchmaker?"
Wei Li looked at the woman with some amusement.
Ayu sighed, "What, I just look suitable, why not worry about my brother." Besides......"
Ayu lowered her voice, "That fourth young lady is the granddaughter of General Xi's relatives, if she really gets married, it will not be a good thing for His Highness." ”
Wei Li was a little surprised, when did the woman start planning for him.
"Your Highness, no?"
Although Ayu has thoughts in this regard, she is only limited to her own opinions and considerations, whether she can marry the Xi family or not, she has to nod from a man. After all, General Xi is still under Queen Wan, if the news of marrying here is not good for the Xi family, it will be difficult to deal with this matter, and the Xi family will definitely not agree.
Wei Li was also thinking about it, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The two of you are willing, you are free, not bad." But, you have to, the Xi family, if you are willing, you can do it. ”
The girl of the Xi family married his lieutenant, he felt that whether it would work or not was not the scope of his consideration, and it was the Xi family that should be carefully considered.
If it doesn't work, he doesn't have a loss, and if it does, it will naturally be beneficial.
With the man's approval, Ayu asked someone to call her mother over the next day.
Liu's brows have been stretched out when she has been worried about her son's family affairs recently, and her daughter's suggestion made her instantly energetic, and she immediately wanted to meet the girl named Junlan.
Ayu asked her to calm down for a while, and found an excuse for the maid to come over and invite someone.
In the North Sixth Courtyard, Xi Junlan was playing chess with Xi Junmei in the wing room, and a maid hurriedly came to report, "Miss, Sister Su Qing in the side concubine's courtyard came to invite, saying that Niangniang has something to look for you." ”
"Oh. Su Qing, please come in. ”
Xi Junlan put down the chess pieces, and when the people came in, she asked with a smile, "I don't know what Niangniang is looking for me?" ”
Su Qing is Wei Lixin's maid who arranged to enter the Tingfeng Courtyard, she is a little older, she has reached the age of twenty-nine, at this time, she is slightly blessed, and said with a light smile, "The fourth girl An, the third girl An, my mother saw the sachet on the waist of the fourth girl before, and I wanted to invite the fourth girl to the Tingfeng Courtyard to teach the mother to learn tricks." ”
Specially came to invite someone for this little thing?
Xi Junlan looked at the orchid sachet hanging from her waist, nodded and said, "Please go back first, Junlan will be there later." ”
After she finished speaking, she asked the little maid around her to give it away, and she was ready to change her clothes and go out to meet guests.
At that time, Xi Junlan came over not long after Su Qing went back.
The girl in the prime of life is dressed in cherry pink with a rose-red moire skirt, a neat single screw bun with a simple jade hairpin, the whole person is capable and hearty, which makes people shine.
Liu Shi thought it was good at first sight, and when he saw that her words and deeds were down-and-out, she was basically interested in it.
Ayu asked her mother to look at people, and after introducing each other, she learned that trick from her seriously.
Xi Junlan knew that the woman in her thirties was the mother of Concubine Bai, and she didn't think too much about it, thinking that she had met by chance.
At that time, Liu and Ayu often did some embroidery work in the village to subsidize the family, and at this time, the three of them could talk about embroidery and talk a few words, and the atmosphere was not bad.
After staying in Tingfeng Courtyard for half a morning, Xi Junlan felt that Concubine Bai and Mrs. Liu were also very good, much better than the brainless Deputy General Bai.
Seeing Xi Junlan away, Ayu couldn't wait to ask her mother's opinion.
Liu nodded and said, "I look very good, she is the Xi family, last time your brother went to Pinghuai to pick up people, they should have met each other." In the afternoon, I asked people to go outside the city to spread the word and ask your brother to come back and see his opinion. Now that I've seen it, the trouble of seeing each other is saved. ”
"Mother, don't be in a hurry about this. I don't think my brother likes us to arrange a partner for him, so it's better to get along with the two of them first and get to know each other. ”
Recently, Ayu felt that his brother was a little annoyed, no matter who it was, he refused, and it was clear that he was disgusted.
At this time, even if there is a suitable person, maybe he will refuse it out of hand, but he still has to come gradually.
The Liu family naturally listens to their daughter, anyway, people live in this mansion, and they can't run.
At night, Ayu discussed with King Liang, saying that while the weather was still hot, he would take his son and daughter to go outing, and casually bring the Xi family with him to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
Wei Li was reading a book on the couch, and when he heard the words, he didn't raise his head, and said, "Sure, tell me the time, that's it." Something else, let Zhou Jin arrange it. ”
"Your Highness, I don't want to bother the guards in the palace this time, can you let my brother accompany me, bring more soldiers, and be safer then."
"Oh?"
Wei Li put the book, looked at the woman and smiled, "You are, drunkard, meaning, not there, bar?" ”
Ayu pursed her lips, "It's not for His Highness's purpose. ”
"Come here." Wei Li stretched out his arms.
