Chapter 134: A Delaying Strategy
After the banquet in the Flower Appreciation Palace, Zhou Wenxuan sent Jing Yuan back to the State Guest House, and then returned to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion sweating profusely.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard the housekeeper say that Yihuan wanted to see him, and he didn't even change his clothes here, so he hurriedly came to the courtyard of the eldest princess: "Mother, I heard the housekeeper say that you are looking for me?" What's the matter? ”
"Look at you sweating profusely!"
Yi Huan glared at Zhou Wenxuan with disgust, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with some distress.
"I know that my mother is the best!"
Zhou Wenxuan smiled, and was tired of being coquettish and stupid by Yihuan's side.
"They are all people who want to marry and have children, and they are only coquettish in front of their mothers like this, if they let people know, how can they marry you?"
Yi Huan spoke softly, looking at Zhou Wenxuan with a little teasing, but Zhou Wenxuan was stunned in his ears for a moment, and then he exploded all of a sudden, jumped up all of a sudden, looked at Yi Huan in disbelief and said, "Mother, what do you say, who wants to marry a wife and have children?" ”
"Besides you, who else can be worth such a bother?"
Yi Huan glared at Zhou Wenxuan with disgust, but Zhou Wenxuan became more and more suspicious in his heart, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and asked cautiously: "Mother, you, I, you want to marry me a wife?" ”
"Don't you want to?"
Looking at his dumbfounded son, Yi Huan suddenly felt that it was the right decision to let him get married quickly, and he couldn't say that in a few years, he would become a fool completely, what if no one wanted it?
"I don't want to!"
Zhou Wenxuan frowned, stared at Yi Huan defensively, and shouted loudly: "In this life, I will not marry anyone except Princess Jingyuan!" Even if you cut it first and then take someone back to the house for me, I will never be with her! Die to this heart! ”
"You kid, why don't you listen to anyone!"
Yi Huan frowned, and said with a strange face: "You still don't know who your mother wants to marry you, so you are angry at your mother, and when your daughter-in-law passes the door in the future, can you still have me in your eyes?" ”
"Who I care about her!"
Zhou Wenxuan shook his head and shouted in a louder voice: "As long as it's not Princess Jingyuan, I'm ......"
As soon as he said this, Zhou Wenxuan paused suddenly, hurriedly turned his head to look at the eldest princess Yihuan, and saw the smiling appearance of the eldest princess Yihuan, he was suddenly a little stunned, opened his mouth, and asked tentatively: "Mother, the person you want to marry me should be Princess Jingyuan, right?" ”
"Hmph, anyway, I see that you don't have the will to marry a wife, in that case, why delay Princess Jingyuan for a lifetime? I think this marriage is just like that, my mother won't give up this old face, and you don't want to harass Princess Jingyuan every once in a while! ”
Yi Huan deliberately put his face on the board, and at this time, he made a gesture and deliberately didn't bother with Zhou Wenxuan.
Zhou Wenxuan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly got tired of the eldest princess Yihuan, begging left and right, and almost rolled and splashed, and finally coaxed the eldest princess Yihuan to laugh out loud, stretched out his finger, nodded a few times on Zhou Wenxuan's head, and said angrily: "You, next time I see if you will be so reckless!" ”
"No, no, mother, why did you suddenly agree to this marriage? This surprise came so quickly that my son couldn't react for a while......"
Zhou Wenxuan scratched his head a little surprised, but he still asked directly what he was thinking.
"Because my mother has been with Princess Jingyuan for a while today, I think the princess is really good, scheming but kind enough, with her by your side, you will be much more convenient in your career in the future......"
Speaking of this, Yi Huan picked up the teacup in his hand and just wanted to drink tea, but he didn't want the teacup to be empty, Zhou Wenxuan saw this, hurriedly stepped forward to make Yi Huan a cup of tea in person, and served it to Yi Huan with a smile: "Mother, please drink tea!" ”
Seeing this, Yi Huan suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart, but in this pride, there was a little sourness.
"It seems that my son has really grown up, and he knows how to make tea for his mother...... Alas, I don't know how long this treatment can last, and when the daughter-in-law passes the door in the future, will the son still know where the door of his mother's yard is opening? ”
Yi Huan sighed deliberately, and as he spoke, he kept looking at Zhou Wenxuan.
"Look at what you're saying!"
Zhou Wenxuan hurriedly stepped forward, walked around behind Yi Huan again, pinched Yi Huan's shoulder with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Now it's just a son who is filial to his mother, and when Princess Jingyuan enters the door in the future, it must be two people who will honor their mother together, and the mother is just one more person who is filial, so what else is there to hesitate about?" ”
After a pause, before the eldest princess Yihuan could speak, Zhou Wenxuan couldn't wait to say, "But mother, when are you going to propose?" Today's princess's performance will definitely fall in the eyes of others, if someone also takes a fancy to the princess, how can it be good to take the first step to propose? Son, you must do this sooner rather than later, or you will go and tell the emperor's uncle about it tomorrow? ”
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"
Yi Huan patted the back of Zhou Wenxuan's hand and said, "After your father comes back, my mother will discuss this matter with your father...... But eight or nine are not far from ten, but these days you also have to learn to be steady, but don't make people laugh, people who are going to get married, and they still jump out like this, you know? ”
"Got it, got it!"
Zhou Wenxuan immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Don't worry, my son will change his mind from now on and be a new person, cough cough, be a qualified little marquis of Dingyuan Mansion, and he will definitely not lose his father and your face!" ”
Zhou Wenxuan just slapped his chest loudly, and then he was coquettish in front of the eldest princess of Yihuan for a while, and then retreated to his courtyard.
It's just that this bench hasn't been hot yet, Zhou Wenxuan only felt that this great news should not be suffered by himself, and after thinking about it a little uncomfortably, he simply raised his buttocks, walked out of the gate of Dingyuan Houfu, and went straight to the guest house.
"Princess, go back just now, do you know what my mother said?"
Coming to Jing Yuan, Zhou Wenxuan's eyebrows fluttered, and he couldn't wait to gesture with his hands and feet to let Jing Yuan know how excited he was in his heart.
Jing Yuan looked at Zhou Wenxuan, who was returning and returning, and said casually: "Could it be that your mother praised you?" ”
"Hey......
Zhou Wenxuan scratched the back of his head, his face suddenly became a little more confused, and a suspicious flush climbed on his originally white cheeks, but a pair of transparent eyes were a little dazzling: "Where are you praising me?" But it makes me happier than praising me! ”
Seeing that Jing Yuan was still holding a book in his hand, Zhou Wenxuan stepped forward with some dissatisfaction, snatched the book from Jing Yuan's hand, and pouted: "Princess, are you listening to me!" ”
"Say whatever you want, don't sell it here."
Jing Yuan glanced at Zhou Wenxuan, who was puffing up in front of him, funny, but he was still not polite when he spoke.
"You ......"
Zhou Wenxuan's eyes widened, but when he thought of the purpose of his visit, he suppressed all the anger in his heart like a deflated ball, smiled again, and said to Jing Yuan excitedly: "My mother agrees to our marriage!" Princess Jingyuan, my mother said that I watched your behavior today and thought it was very good, so he did not object to our marriage, and after my father returned home, he would discuss it with my father, and he would propose marriage to the emperor's uncle! ”
Zhou Wenxuan said these words in one go, and after speaking, he stared at Jing Yuan with bright eyes, shyly and bravely, with a look of "asking for praise".
“……”
Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Seeing this, Zhou Wenxuan, who was originally smiling, gradually calmed down the curvature of the corners of his mouth, looked at Jing Yuan with some surprise, and asked tentatively: "Princess, you, why are you not happy at all?" Could it be that you don't want to marry me? ”
Pursing his lips, Jing Yuan took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Zhou Wenxuan with a calm face: "Little Hou Ye, I have all the good you have been to me in my heart these days, but marriage is not a child's play, I hope you can think clearly, do you want to be with me because you think I am interesting, or because you like me, so you want to be with me?" ”
Zhou Wenxuan's eyes flashed with a moment of confusion, and he spread his hands a little puzzled: "Is there any difference between this?" Anyway, as long as I like you! Princess, you, don't you like me? ”
Seeing Jing Yuan hanging his head and being silent, Zhou Wenxuan panicked in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward, and stammered: "My mother has already said that I am immature, I, I promised my mother that she will be like a man and take on her own responsibilities, whether it is for my wife or for the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion!" Princess, if you think something wrong with me, you can say it, as long as you can say it, I will definitely change it! ”
After speaking, he shook Jing Yuan's sleeve pitifully and said, "Princess, even if you don't like me now, you don't hate me, right?" As long as you agree to my mother's proposal, I promise that you will like me in the future! I, I can do whatever you want, because I really like you! ”
Speaking of the back, Zhou Wenxuan almost cried.
Jing Yuan couldn't bear to look at Zhou Wenxuan's eyes full of longing, and the guilt in his heart immediately increased a little.
"Little Hou Ye ......"
Jing Yuan lowered his eyes, avoided Zhou Wenxuan's eyes, and collected words in his heart for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "Otherwise, you will give me a few days to think about it, okay?" The eldest princess is there...... I also have to bother you to tell the eldest princess, don't be in a hurry to propose marriage to the emperor, well, because I am not ready in my heart......"
The last sentence Jing Yuan said in a very small voice, but listening to Zhou Wenxuan's ears, it found a reasonable reason for Jing Yuan's series of actions.
Zhou Wenxuan, who had regained some confidence, hurriedly asked: "I know that the princess is worried, but, but when are you going to give me an answer?" Give me a deadline, princess, or I won't be able to eat or sleep well these days......"
Jing Yuan took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "After the emperor's longevity, I will give you an answer, how about it?" ”
