Chapter 32: Marriage proposal
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, General Yan and Mrs. Xiao entertained Mrs. Cao, the wife of Lord Dou, in the front hall. General Yan and his wife were quite surprised, and they were even more grandly received, and they did not dare to slack off. Therefore, Xiao Nian has never been with his family, and several juniors such as Xianchen have lunch in their own garden.
Xianchen is full of food and drink, basking in the sun with Xiaoyuer in Jingyuan, the winter sun is really warm on people, Xianchen's feet are now fine, and he can walk normally, but he is afraid that it will take two or three months to fly the eaves and walk the wall, she thought: "The medicine sent by Wen Anhou is really effective, and you don't have to be a cripple immediately, it is really a high-powered and easy to do things, and the tribute can be sent box by box." ”
When I raised my eyes, I saw Rose coming in with a smile and a bright face. Since experiencing the housekeeper council with Rose, Mrs. Xiao made it clear that in the future, Rose will follow the past, and the two have become closer than before. Rose hurriedly saluted, and then joked to Xianchen: "Look at this lazy appearance, where does it look like the grandmother of the Hou Mansion?" ”
Seeing Ning Zhe's intentions that day, Xianchen already felt unusual in his heart, and at this moment, when he heard Rose say this, his heart suddenly beat faster, and he hurriedly asked, "What is my sister talking about?" Don't make fun of me, it's a terrible thing. ”
"It's a fatal thing, but it's a fatal thing." Rose is happy for Xianchen in her heart, who is Wen Anhou? The first noble son of Wu is also.
"Sister Hugh wants to joke, hurry up and say it clearly."
Rose only thought she was anxious, and no longer detoured: "Why did you come to the door today with Mrs. Cao?" It was entrusted by Wen Anhou to accept the lottery, and the two wild geese were personally hunted by Wen Anhou in Ba and carefully brought back to Wu, which is really moving. And on the day of the housewarming banquet in the Marquis of Wen'an, Mrs. had already responded to this family business, and today she was just here to accept the lottery. ”
Xian Chen's whole body was paralyzed, and he sat down heavily: "Why hasn't my mother mentioned it to me all this time?" ”
"Miss was injured that day, and Mrs. was scared half to death, and then she has been busy with New Year's affairs, and I think there are times when I haven't looked for a chance......"
There was a boom in Xianchen's head, and gradually he couldn't hear what Rose was saying behind it, and only vaguely heard Rose say, "...... I have to go, Mrs. Cao said that she likes the mold of 'flowers blooming and rich' dim sum, Mrs. ordered me to come to the library to find it, and by the way, I will reveal the good news to you, I will pass, otherwise Mrs. will have to wait for a long time......"
Seeing that Rose had gone out, Slim Dust wanted to respond to her, but couldn't say a word.
"Wen Anhou proposed to her? Mrs. Cao as a matchmaker? Paying it back? Is this to marry her as the wife of Wen Anhou in three books and six rites? ”
"No, no, no, it must be a mistake, she is just the concubine of a third-grade general, this is not a family affair that is not the right family, I'm afraid that Wu Guo can't find a second case, yes, it must be a mistake"
“……”
In an instant, Xian Chen thought a lot, his expression was wooden, his eyes were dull, Xiao Yu'er saw her like this, and when she was happy, she retreated, letting her be quiet, so as not to tear it down in person, and Xian Chen's face couldn't hang up.
Xianchen thought about it again, Wen Anhou was indeed a good match, a young talent, a high position, a dignified appearance, a gentle and elegant family, and the most important thing seemed to be very attentive to her, carefully preparing gifts for her, and helping her when she was helpless. This kind of family affair should be happy for any woman to sleep, why did she even hope that it was just a joke made by Rose with her.
In the evening, Mrs. Xiao really came to Jingyuan in person, and called Aunt Jiang to talk together, and carefully explained the matter of marrying the Ning family. Mrs. Xiao was full of spring breeze and was very proud. Come to think of it, the big tree of the Ning family is not something that anyone can rely on, and Wen Anhou is currently in full swing, which can be described as a temporary beauty. Moreover, Mrs. Xiao was quite sorry for Xianchen because of the incident in the Liu family, and now she has set a good family affair for her, which can be regarded as compensation.
Aunt Jiang looked at Xianchen meaningfully, as if she wanted to know her mind.
Xian Chen looked at Mrs. Xiao and said, "Mother, I still have two months to be sixteen, I feel that I am still young, I can wait, and I have filial piety." ”
When Mrs. Xiao saw her "shy" appearance, she was even more happy and said: "That's right, but I have filial piety, so I have to wait for the expiration of the one-year filial piety period before getting married." In this first month, the first 'Nacai', 'Ask for a name', and 'Najib', and the rest of 'Na Zheng', 'Invitation', and 'Greeting Relatives' have to wait until the end of the year. At that time, you were almost seventeen, and you couldn't afford to delay. After that, Mrs. Xiao showed great regret, and she couldn't wait to marry off in three moments.
"Is there no room for maneuver?" After Xian Chen finished speaking, Mrs. Xiao and Aunt Jiang both looked at her with a look of surprise and puzzlement.
"What do you mean by that? Do you still have objections to this marriage? Although Mrs. Xiao asked like this, she felt that it was impossible in her heart, such a good family affair would be so happy that any woman would be so happy that she couldn't sleep.
"I ...... I just don't want to get married yet. Xianchen thought about it, probably because of this reason, she couldn't think of anything else.
Mrs. Xiao laughed when she heard this, the woman said that she didn't want to marry someone and couldn't believe it, Xianchen thought that she was shy, so she didn't talk deeply, but solemnly told her to take care of her leg injury, what kind of noble family is the Ning family? If the leg injury cannot be healed, I am afraid that this marriage will be uncertain. After talking for a long time, he got up and went back to Qinfangyuan.
Seeing Mrs. Xiao away, Aunt Jiang pulled Xianchen to sit down under the candlelight, stared at her inquiringly and asked, "Do you have a favorite?" ”
"Huh? Someone you love? I've never thought about it. "Yes, Xianchen never thinks much about the affairs of men and women, Aunt Jiang suddenly asked, and she was speechless for a while.
Aunt Jiang lovingly stroked Xianchen's hair with her jade hand and said, "Mother has always hoped that you can marry the person you like, but when will the fate of a woman really be in her own hands?" It is Wen Anhou who came to propose marriage today, and this marriage is no longer under your control, even your wife and master. If you don't have someone you like, you can try to accept Wen Anhou, maybe it will be a good destination in the future, but if you ......"
"What if?"
"Forget it, let's talk about it when you understand what love is." Aunt Jiang smiled and shook her head, she didn't plan to talk about such an esoteric topic to Xian Chen, her daughter she understood, she was very arrogant, and there was no defense between men and women. It is precisely because of the openness of the heart that I do not think about the affairs of men and women.
"Then mother, teach me, what is love?"
"Love is ...... Unique, he must ......" Aunt Jiang finished speaking, looking at the flickering candle flame and was silent for a long time.
"Unique...... He must not ......," Cinchen muttered.
