After the maid in the house carried the food basket and put several dishes on the table, she bowed and said, "The eldest lady asked the kitchen to add a few dishes to Miss Table, so that Young Master Jian can use it for lunch here, the slave maid and others have already set it up, Miss Table, please use it slowly." ”

The maid said a word and withdrew.

Chunlin was surprised in her heart, saying this, the eldest lady is matching Young Master Jian and Miss. She glanced restlessly at her young lady's expression.

Miss Liu is still unusually indifferent, and there is not much change in mood.

When Jian Xiu heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile, which was the most comfortable thing in recent days.

Without waiting for Miss Liu to greet him, he took the initiative to sit down at the table and casually said to Miss Liu, "The food is not delicious when it is cold." ”

Miss Liu froze, and then approached the table and sat down.

Hua Ying stepped forward to pour wine for Young Master Jian.

The wine was also sent by the maid just now, Hua Ying smiled secretly, the eldest lady is really attentive.

The eldest lady was so obvious, Hua Ying didn't dare to slack off, and poured Miss Liu a glass.

"I don't drink." Miss Liu said softly, just picked up the chopsticks and put some food into the plate, but she didn't look at the wine.

"It's good that the girl's family doesn't drink." Jian Xiu smiled between her eyebrows and drank Miss Liu's glass of wine.

Miss Liu never raised her eyes to look at him, and at the dinner table, it was as if she was eating her own, no different from eating alone.

But even if Miss Liu ignores him, Jian Xiu wants to stay like this, just look at her.

When Min Xiu came out of Xiangguo's study, his mother Shen was already waiting outside.

Shen's face was not good, she didn't expect Min Xiu to take the initiative to tell the master that he wanted to marry the young lady of the Xia family.

The Shen family has always wanted Min Xiu to find a daughter-in-law with a head and a background. Back then, when Min Xiu liked the maid Ni Zhu next to her, she was so angry that she vomited blood. For Min to repair, she was a fierce mother.

But now that this Xia Shuimeng is on Min Xiu's bed again, this is not what she wants to see.

Xia Shuimeng's family background is not bad, and it is not bad, but after it fell back then, she never became tough again. Barely a young lady, in the eyes of the Shen family, this Xia Shuimeng is just trying to climb to the Prime Minister's Mansion so that she can become the daughter-in-law of the wealthy family.

Shen can't look down on a woman with such intentions, she likes simple and obedient girls, but that Xia Shuimeng doesn't look simple.

Seeing Min Xiu come out, Shen Shi hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Did you come to see your father for Xia Shuimeng?" ”

Min Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, and before she could reply, the Shen family couldn't wait, "Min Er, do you really want to marry Xia Shuimeng?" ”

"It's already like this, what else can I do." Min Xiu lowered his head and said lightly, and walked away.

Shen followed Bu Rush and said, "Your father agreed?" ”

Min Xiu stopped suddenly, his eyes were dark, and he said helplessly, "Father said that I actually made Xia Shuimeng pregnant, so I have to marry." ”

Min Xiu finished speaking, left Shen in a daze, and left in a hurry.

Wan Xiu, who was standing far away by the flower bed, heard this, and excitedly said to Xiao Yindao beside him, "Go, tell Shui Meng that my father agrees, and she will become my sister-in-law." ”

Xiao Yin hurriedly responded, "The slave and maid will go." ”

The corners of Wan Xiu's mouth tugged at a smile, and only she understood that smile.

～～～～～

The third young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion wanted to marry Xia Shuimeng as his wife, and it spread all over the famous families in the capital for a while. I don't know who released the news, and it's too late for Min Xiu to regret it.

turned out to be like this, Xiang Ye asked the housekeeper You Qi to accompany Min Xiu to the Xia family to propose marriage, and also set a date to marry.

Five days later, because Xia Shuimeng was already pregnant, she was afraid that her stomach would be seen by people, causing her tongue to gossip, and she felt that Xia Shuimeng was pregnant before she left the cabinet, so she talked less.

The Prime Minister's Mansion began to be busy with this family business, although Min Xiu was born to the third aunt, but after all, he was Xiangguo's biological son, and the pomp and circumstance should be decent.

All the famous families in the capital have received the post, as long as the prefectures come up to congratulate them personally.

After receiving the invitation in the Ling Mansion, Ling Xinan directly found his father and said, "Let me go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to congratulate." ”

Although Ling Xinan did not discuss the matter of coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for marriage with Ling Yunyi, the refusal of the eldest lady of the Prime Minister afterwards reached Ling Yunyi's ears.

Ling Yunyi was really unhappy when he learned about it, although his third son Ling Xinan had not entered the imperial court as an official, and he had not yet held an official position, but Ling Xinan's excellence as a father he was not unaware.

Mrs. Xiangguo's refusal to face to his face really refuted his son's face, making the child depressed and unhappy all day after that day.

He also persuaded his son in person, but Xiangguo did not agree, he wanted to keep Miss Liu in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then find other girls, why do you have to marry that Miss Liu.

But these words didn't work for Ling Xinan at all.

At this time, as soon as he heard that there was a happy event in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he wanted to rush to see Miss Na Liu. How could Ling Yunyi not see this little bit of concern.

"Let your brother go." Mrs. Ling refused on the spot, not wanting Ling Xinan to entangle with Miss Naliu again.

"No, I'll go." Ling Xinan grabbed the invitation on the table and walked out without looking back.

"This kid, all I have in my heart is that Miss Liu." Mrs. Ling sighed deeply, her face was not good.

"Let Kumquat accompany the young master and take care of him." Mrs. Ling explained to the servant women beside her.

When Ling Xinan was changing clothes in the bedroom, Kumquat waited and said, "Young Master, Madame asked the little one to accompany you to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Usually, Ling Xinan doesn't like to let people follow, but this time, since his mother spoke, he didn't force him to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he agreed.

Maybe it was because he was thinking of seeing Miss Liu, Ling Xinan's face was very good today, and his mood was very different, and Kumquat was happy for him when he saw it.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the red silk hangs in the hall, and the Xi character is full of courtyards. The banquets in the courtyard of the house are arranged in rows.

The people were busy one after another, and the slaves and maids in the house had already been dispatched.

Jian Xiu was also in the mansion today, and he specially wore a gorgeous dress for this festive day. He doesn't like luxury on weekdays, but in order to be decent in front of many noble sons, he also asked his subordinates to serve him in a beautiful brocade robe.

Wen Si, the attendant servant in his house, looked at the fourth young master who had changed his clothes, dignified and handsome, and couldn't help but praise, "Among the many sons today, the fourth young master must be the most handsome." ”

When Jian Xiu heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled, "But really? ”

It was rare to see his master's gentle smile, Wen Si sighed again, "Of course, Wen Si can still deceive the young master, as long as the young master appears in front of Miss Biao like this, she will definitely not want to look elsewhere." ”

These words have reached Jian Xiu's heart. Today's special outfit is to let Yi'er only see herself in front of many sons.

Jian Xiu subconsciously looked at himself again in the mirror. When did he care so much about his appearance?

However, even if those women all admired Ling Xinan, he was not worried, he felt that he was not much inferior to him as gentle and elegant.

"If the young master smiles more, it will make the young ladies like it even more."

Wen Si immediately said unambiguously.

But this sentence didn't make Jian Xiu agree, he turned around and sank his eyes, "Am I usually not treated well?" ”

His heavy eyes made people shudder, Wen Si would also be afraid, and hurriedly complimented, "The slave doesn't mean that, the slave said that if the young master smiles more in front of Miss Cousin, Miss Cousin may be closer to you." ”

Jian Xiu's expression eased at this time, and Wen Si relieved his nervous heart.

There was a lot of traffic outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the sedan chairs entered the guests one after another.

The housekeeper You Qi stood at the gate of the house to greet the distinguished guests who came to give gifts and congratulations.

In the west courtyard of the house, the slave monuments have set up tables, and the refreshments and fruit plates have been completed. The first guests to take their seats and chat over tea and snacks. On the stage, the Liyuan class was invited to sing a big opera today, and the play has begun, and there is also a lively scene for the guests who came first.

Wan Xiu had already dressed herself up and made a new dress for today.

Li Yuyan came early, accompanied Wan Xiu, chatting with a smile on her face in Wan Xiu's room, urging Wan Xiu to clean up quickly.

Zixuan Pavilion, Miss Liu was just wearing plain clothes on weekdays, standing under the eaves and staring at her toes, the sunlight reflected on the ground, and she suddenly felt that today's sunlight was a little dazzling.

The green bird in the birdbasket under the eaves stood on the pole and looked at Miss Liu, and whispered from time to time, "Wine ...... Wine ......"

Miss Liu raised her eyes and smiled at the bird, "Do you want to drink today?" ”

Regardless of whether the third cousin is really willing to marry or helpless, this has come to this point. As a cousin, she doesn't have much to say.

I just thought of last night, she went to see her third cousin, and asked him in person, is it out of her own will, if you don't want to talk to Xiangguo, see if there is room for turnaround.

Min Xiu just smiled faintly and replied to her, "It's already decided." ”

But from this sentence, Miss Liu saw helplessness.

Chunlin urged, "Miss, it's time for us to go to the banquet." ”

Miss Liu came back to her senses.

"Okay." A long breath.

With a simple word, it can be seen that Miss Liu is not willing to go to a crowded place, but she is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is a happy event in the mansion, how can she not appear.

Walking through the garden, she was about to walk along the verandah, when she saw Yun Xiu walking towards her.

"Ji'er, my aunt asked me to urge you, and the sedan chair has arrived at the house." Yun Xiu had a smile on his face.

"Isn't Miss here?" Chunlin hurried back to him.

Miss Liu smiled lightly, and she was about to go with Yun Xiu, but suddenly saw a figure in front of her fixed there.

It was him, Ling Xinan, he just stood there and looked at Miss Liu.

He didn't come to her, he didn't go to the feast, he stood there waiting for her.

When Miss Liu saw him, she was stunned and couldn't help but be stunned.

He and Liu Piaoyi have been together for three years, and he is too familiar with Liu Piaoyi, and he should be more familiar with Liu Piaoyi than anyone in this prime minister's mansion.

But he is a pity at this time, and he is no longer his willow memory.

Can she still treat him with her original heart?

Miss Liu was very amused.
