The former classmates are now middle-aged.

Time treats Xie Mingxi very well, and there are almost no vicissitudes and wrinkles on that beautiful face, only a mature charm.

And Fang Ruomeng, perhaps because he was worried about his eldest son, had a few more strands of gray hair on his sideburns and more wrinkles on his forehead. At this time, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Niangniang is sharp and keen, in front of Niangniang, I won't hide it." Don't hide it from my mother, I fell in love with Zijin. ”

Xie Mingxi's expression did not move, and he smiled slightly: "There is one thing, I don't hide it from Sister Fang." Sister Fang is not the only one who asks to come to me to protect Zijin as a media. ”

Since Xie Zijin and Xu, the people who went to Xie's house to propose relatives have almost broken through the threshold. There are also some decent ladies who are qualified to enter the palace and ask for peace in front of the queen, and there is no shortage of people who open their mouths.

Fang Ruomeng is not the first, and he is not the last.

Fang Ruomeng was mentally prepared, and said with a smile when he heard this: "There are hundreds of women in the family. Zijin is such an outstanding girl, I don't know how many people want to marry her as a daughter-in-law. I opened my mouth brazenly today, begging my mother to ask the Xie family in private. The Xie family nodded, and I asked the official media to come to the door to say goodbye, if the Xie family didn't like Brother Qin, I didn't say anything. ”

What a cunning!

She opened her mouth in person, how could the Xie family not think about it carefully?

Xie Mingxi smiled: "Sister Fang has tried her best to marry a good daughter-in-law. ”

"Isn't it?" Fang Ruomeng saw that Xie Mingxi had no intention of refusing, his heart also relaxed, and he responded with a smile: "Brother Yu is still Princess Duanyi, and now that the husband and wife are in love and harmony, I have nothing to worry about." Now all his thoughts are on Brother Qin'er. ”

"Brother Qin is the great-great-grandson, and he will take over the Li family's business in the future. His daughter-in-law will also be the wife of the Li family in the future. I will come back with a good wife for him. ”

Moreover, Fang Ruomeng still had secret thoughts in his heart that were inconvenient for humanity.

The county lord has a noble identity, outstanding talents, and a gentle temperament. There are very few ladies in the capital who can outperform the lord of Duanrong.

It's a pity that Brother Qin and Lord Duanrong don't have a husband and wife relationship.

She wants to marry a better and more outstanding girl for Brother Qin'er!

Li Qin, except for being a little older, is first-class in terms of family background, talent, appearance, and character.

Xie Mingxi thought for a moment and responded: "Okay, on the first day of the New Year, when the daughters of the Xie family enter the palace to ask for peace, I will mention it." Whether the family affair is successful or not depends on whether the two of them are fateful. ”

Fang Ruomeng hurriedly smiled: "No matter what, thank the queen mother first." ”

……

Whether a family affair is successful or not depends not only on fate, but also on the sincerity and attitude of the marriage.

Yin Xiaoxiao spent most of her time for Brother Lin and Brother Ting's family affairs, and it took more than half a year. If Yin Xiaoxiao listens to the word "fate", I am afraid that Brother Lin and Brother Ting will be sad.

After Fang Ruomeng made up his mind, he had to make some efforts.

The friendship between the Li family and the Xie family is not deep, but there are some contacts.

At the end of the year, Fang Ruomeng prepared a rich New Year's gift and sent Li Qin to the Xie family.

Li Qin couldn't resist his mother, so he reluctantly went to Xie Mansion.

Of course, Xie Zijin was not in the house. The Empress Dowager was a few months pregnant and was still busy with political affairs. Xie Zijin was busy every day, leaving early and returning late, and there was no one to see.

Fang Ruomeng asked Li Qin to go to Xie's house, but in fact, he asked his son to show his face in front of his future mother-in-law.

Sun is not stupid either. The Li family, who had a mediocre relationship, suddenly gave a generous gift, and asked Li Qin to send it in person, which means that it is not difficult to interpret for the daughter of a daughter who is famous in the capital and is like a cloud.

Sun looked at Li Qin quietly, with a gentle and polite attitude.

Li Qin has passed the age of a weak crown, and he has been the magistrate of the county for a few years, and the youthful energy on his body is gone, he is calm and handsome, and he has something to talk about. With a look, he compared the outstanding young men in the capital that the Sun family had seen.

After Li Qin said goodbye, the Sun family went to the study happily and said to Xie Yuanting: "The Li family sent the eldest son of Li to send a New Year's gift, it seems that he fell in love with Zijin and had the intention of getting married. ”

Xie Yuanting snorted impatiently: "Li Qindu is almost twenty-two, six years older than our Zijin, the age difference is too big, and he is not a good match." ”

Sun's thoughts are just the opposite: "Our Zijin is young and talented, and he is very intelligent, and now he is an official in the Zhan Mansion of the East Palace. Most of the teenagers of the same age are still studying. From Zijin's point of view, where do you get along with those young and immature hairy boys? ”

That's not unreasonable.

A person's life experience determines the height of vision to a large extent.

Xie Zijin has been in the Zhan Mansion of the East Palace for a year, and everything he has seen and heard is the political affairs of the court, and the whole person has grown and matured rapidly. Now that Xie Zijin has returned home, he mostly goes to the study with his grandfather to talk and discuss, and he has not much to say to his father.

With such Xie Zijin, how many young men in the world can stand side by side with her?

Xie Yuanting frowned and said, "Zijin is still young, so there is no urgency for the time being. Moreover, the Li family will also propose marriage in the future, and we don't know what to do. ”

……

The first day of the new year of the eighteenth year of Jianye came in a snowflake.

Xie Zijin dressed neatly, put on a special official uniform, and entered the Jinluan Hall with his grandfather and two uncles. On the first day of the new year, the Son of Heaven led his ministers to worship the heavens and ancestors, and the imperial concubine followed the side of the Son of Heaven.

Xie Zijin's official position is low, but there are only two women who are officials in the court, and one of them is far away in Shu. Xie Zijin became a little red in the green bushes, which was particularly eye-catching.

The young and beautiful girl, holding the excitement in her heart, calmly stood beside Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, quietly holding the Empress Dowager's arm.

It was the first time for Xie Zijin to participate in such a grand ceremony to worship the sky, and he felt unnervous. But it was well disguised and didn't show it.

Her hand holding the crown lady's arm trembled invisibly.

The empress was dressed in a prince's dress, her bulging belly was mostly covered by a heavy and wide dress, and she turned her head and smiled at Xie Zijin.

Xie Zijin's nervous mood suddenly calmed down a lot, and he secretly warned himself in his heart.

Xie Zijin, Xie Zijin, you still have a lot to learn!

Don't be fooled by everyone's praise and praise!

It wasn't until Zishi that Xie Zijin returned to Xie's mansion.

My father and mother and my three younger brothers didn't sleep, and they were waiting for her to come back.

Xie Zijin felt a burst of warmth in his heart, and shouted over with a smile. The family gossiped for a while, and Sun sent his sons to sleep first.

Sun took Xie Zijin's hand and smiled quietly: "Zijin, I will enter the palace today to ask for peace, the queen mother asked about your family, and personally opened her mouth to mention Prince Li." ”

Xie Zijin didn't want to think about it, and refused: "Mother, I don't want to get married!" ”
