"Your eldest sister and second sister have reached the age of leaving the cabinet. In fact, when Princess Yongping left Beijing, I pondered in my heart. It's just that something happened at five o'clock at that time, and I was afraid that the emperor and Concubine Li Guifei would think too much and cause trouble. Now it's time to get ready. "Old Madam Jiang has obviously been thinking deeply for a while.

Qingrong hesitated a little, and Xiahou Mansion had a total of four rooms, and now in addition to Yuan Heng, who should be married when he is old, there are adult sons in the big room, the second room, and the third room.

It can't be Yuan Heng, right? Qingrong secretly said in his heart, no, no, it shouldn't be so bloody.

At this time, the second lady and the third lady arrived together.

As soon as the third lady saw Qingrong, she couldn't stop saying in a weird way: "I heard that the courtyard of a big house turned upside down again yesterday. ”

Qingrong secretly rolled her eyes, the third lady is really a fuel-efficient lamp, and she always likes to find trouble when she has nothing to do. It seems that there is nothing she will do except find words to provoke.

The Tang clan had been sitting beside Qingrong without a sense of existence, and as soon as the third lady spoke, she instantly found the organization, and said with a smile: "That movement is big enough, but the eldest brother has beaten the person given by the emperor." I don't know if it matters, but the sister-in-law intervened so suddenly, then Aunt Jin was wronged, isn't it that the eldest brother hit the wrong person. It's even harder to explain to the emperor. ”

Old Madam Jiang's face sank, and she looked at Tang Shi with displeasure and said: "What to explain or not, closing the door is our own business, I see who dares to go out and talk nonsense." ”

Tang Shi looked uneasy, hung his head in embarrassment, raised his hand and pulled his hair in a bun, and didn't dare to say anything more.

The third lady glanced at Tang Shi coldly, and secretly laughed at her stupidity, "I heard what some people in the Yayuan said, and some people said that Aunt Jin was not wronged," the third lady said that she paused slightly, and said with a smile: "We know that you are doing the right thing, but others may not know." Now the whole house is saying behind their backs that it was Aunt Jin who you instructed. ”

The third lady said all the good and bad things, what else could Qingrong say, she smiled alienatedly, "Naturally, I like to watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal, if I can fight with the people in the courtyard, they will talk about it even more, and it is useless to say more." ”

Qingrong looked at the third lady with a smile, and there was something in her words.

The third lady smiled slowly and didn't say anything deeper.

That is, the people below are short-sighted, and they only know how to watch the excitement, and they are all stupid people. Whether it is the Wind Lotus Courtyard or the Elegant Courtyard, those people must all hear clearly. If Qingrong really has a bad heart, why do this kind of thing with half the effort. Old Madam Jiang helped Qingrong speak, and all the gossip of the third lady and the Tang clan was scolded.

The third lady retreated in the face of the difficulty, knowing that she was not the one who said Qingrong in front of Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang also mentioned with a few people that she would go to Jiangxiahou Mansion in the afternoon to prepare for the eldest girl and the third girl.

The second lady asked Mrs. Jiang with special concern: "I don't know which son of Jiangxiahou Mansion is it." ”

Mrs. Jiang didn't say it explicitly, but she just went and found out. A few people didn't ask much, and after asking for peace, they went back to clean up.

After noon, Mrs. Jiang led the ladies of the mansion to Jiangxiahou Mansion.

Counting the time when he was kicked out by Mrs. Jiang Xiahou last year, Qingrong came to Jiang Xiahou's mansion for the second time. In the end, there is still a psychological shadow from the last time, and she always feels that the people in Jiangxiahou Mansion all look high, which makes her not like it.

When they arrived at the main room, Mrs. Jiang Xiahou was very enthusiastic to invite Mrs. Jiang to sit down, and when she saw Qingrong, she praised a few words. 's natural and calm appearance, as if she had forgotten that she had swept Qingrong out of the Jiangxia Hou Mansion in the past.

The two old ladies talked for a while, and a little girl came in and said, "Old lady, the fifth young master has come to greet you." ”

Qingrong knew that because Yuan Heng's father was an illegitimate child, Yuan Heng did not rank in the Yuan family at all. When she heard that it was not Yuan Heng, she felt a lot more relieved.

Mrs. Jiang Xiahou looked at Mrs. Jiang with a smile, with a deep meaning in her eyes, and the eyes of the two old ladies came and went. Qingrong and the others naturally understood that this was to see each other.

Mrs. Jiang Xiahou said: "The fifth brother of our family is the smartest and most capable, and he is also filial. ”

The fifth young master Yuan Jue entered the door with a radiant spirit, and he was born a man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but according to Yuan Heng's appearance, it was really a world apart. Qingrong is sometimes curious, looking at the genes of Jiang Xiahou's whole family, it doesn't seem like he can give birth to a handsome child like Yuan Heng.

I think it's Jiang Xiahou's outside, and he is very good-looking.

Yuan Jue lifted the feet of his robe in an orderly manner, bowed to Mrs. Jiang Xiahou, and said, "Grandmother is healthy." ”

Mrs. Jiang Xiahou had a smile on her face and said, "Hurry up and say hello to the Duchess and several ladies and young ladies." ”

Yuan Jue waved his hand again and saluted a few people.

Qingrong was not interested in the blind date scene, and looked at Yuan Jue boredly, and then looked at the expressions on the faces of the second lady and the third lady. The second lady looked very carefully, and the third lady was a little absent-minded, as if she was not very satisfied with Yuan Jue.

"He was out last year, he was the 58th in the second class, and now he is on an errand in the Hanlin Academy." Mrs. Jiang Xiahou was quite complacent.

This second-class fifty-eight is really good. Nowadays, most of the children of the family rely on some errand in the family, or through the light of their father and brother. There are very few people who can come out of the examination and the examination after studying hard.

After all, there are many poor scholars like the Shen family who study hard to take the top prize.

Therefore, Ye Qin won the top spot in high school for the first time, which is really rare. The reason why the emperor values him is also for this reason.

When the second lady heard this, she couldn't help but nod her head slowly in approval.

Mrs. Jiang Xiahou broke Yuan Jue beautifully, from the praise of the prefect to Yuan Jue, to the fact that he did not forget to queue up for her to buy snacks on the way home from duty, no matter how big or small, anyway, it can highlight Yuan Jue's personal advantages, Mrs. Jiang Xiahou almost said it all.

Mrs. Jiang Xiahou's sincerity was obviously very much about wanting to marry the Song family.

Everyone was talking, but suddenly a clear voice came from the door, saying, "Grandmother, my grandson has come to greet you." ”

Qingrong's heart jumped suddenly, and when he turned his head, he saw Yuan Heng striding over.

He wore a moon-white robe embroidered with bamboo leaves, and his hair was tied with a blue ribbon on his head. It's not the capable dress of the guards, but the wide robe and big sleeves, which is more chic and uninhibited. She has been sending her relatives for more than a month, and she seems to have lost a lot of weight, her cheekbones are a little higher, and the contours of her cheeks are becoming more and more clear.

Yuan Heng's handsome appearance like a god's mansion immediately lined Yuan Heng's gray face, his lips were no longer red, his teeth were not white, and he became crooked melons and cracked dates in seconds.

Mrs. Jiang Xiahou's nose was crooked, but Old Madam Jiang was present, and she maintained her demeanor. only had a cold face and said, "It's nothing to do with you, you can go." ”

The second lady, the third lady, and the Tang clan all stared at Yuan Heng's face. Only the clear eyes look at the nose, the nose looks at the heart, and the eyes do not squint.

Yuan Heng smiled and said yes, but did not retreat immediately. Instead, he turned his head to salute Mrs. Jiang, and said to Qingrong: "Fifth sister, can the hot spring village be built?" I always had to go before, but I was always delayed. ”

The third lady and the Tang clan looked at Qingrong and Yuan Heng in a daze with an expression of smelling adultery.

Qingrong smiled politely and said, "It's repaired, change the brother of the Japanese family to go to Mrs. Fengguo's mansion, just let Brother Yu take you to go shopping." Qingrong said just right, the rules are polite and not too blunt.

After leaving the Jiangxia Hou Mansion and getting into the carriage and going back, the third lady and the Tang family inevitably had nothing to do again.

"Sister-in-law has a lot of friendship with that Yuan Heng." Tang opened his mouth with a smile.

Qingrong looked lazily at her face that didn't look like a big deal, didn't raise her eyelids, and said lightly: "The elder brother of the Yuan family, like the prince of the world, used to study in my Shen family, because he has always been taken care of by my mother, so he is like his own brother." ”

The third lady sighed: "Yuan Heng is a talent, but it's a pity that he is an illegitimate child and is not treated well by Mrs. Jiang Xiahou. ”

Old Madam Jiang coughed lightly and said, "I don't want you to want to see her today, just how about Yuan Jue?" ”

The second lady complimented: "The old lady's favorite candidate is not bad, I look at it well." ”

The third lady took advantage of the situation and said: "Since the second sister-in-law takes a fancy to it, she will give it to the second girl." Let's grow up and be orderly, and Ling'er is not in a hurry. ”

Qingrong couldn't help but laugh in her heart, the third lady didn't take a fancy to Yuan Jue at this time, and she knew that the elders and young were in order.

The second lady didn't care, only smiled and thanked her, and didn't say anything more.

Old Madam Jiang said simply: "Since you think it's good, then I'll let someone go back to Ming'er." ”

In this way, it can be regarded as giving Song Ai's marriage.

After returning to Song's house, Qingrong took the time to ask Song Zhao to understand. Although the Jiangxia Marquis Mansion has a hereditary title, it has gradually fallen because of the failure of his sons and nephews. Their family always has to rely on one head, and most of Concubine Li Guifei's side are from the Han family, so it is always a little difficult for their family to pull down their faces and slap the Li family.

Therefore, it is not as good as the Song family, which has some connections in the army. What's more, Tang is the niece of Master Tang, and she can speak to the cabinet. Mrs. Jiang Xiahou's abacus was a jingle sound.

On the second day, Mrs. Jiang sent someone to reply to the Jiangxia Hou Mansion, and the two families had to prepare Geng Tie and Eight Characters. If there is no problem with the eight characters, it is officially decided, and the marriage is basically decided.

After being busy with the eldest girl's marriage, Mrs. Jiang kept preparing for the second girl's marriage. However, the third lady is too picky, and the marriage of the eldest girl is ahead. Her criteria for choosing a son-in-law are obviously targeted.

Ability, appearance, and family background are not only not worse than Yuan Jue, but also a lot higher than Yuan Jue.

is either that Cao Guogong's son is incompetent, or that Liang Guogong's grandson is a fat idiot; The family background of the Marquis of Xuanning is not good, and the son of the Marquis of Xiping is a concubine.

Song Ding was upset when he heard the third lady's nagging, and said: "Xipinghou's wife has nothing to do, and the whole mansion is not all concubines!" The child was raised by Mrs. Xipinghou, and he will inherit the family property in the future. ”

The third lady shook her head disapprerovingly, "It's not certain, it's not my own belly, it's always through my heart." ”

Song Ding asked the third lady impatiently: "Then tell me, what kind of family do you want to find?" ”

The third lady's eyes flashed, stared at Song Ding, and said, "If our Ling'er can be the sixth princess, it will be good!" ”
