Chapter 167: Confusion in Proposing Relatives
Summer is scorching, and noon has passed.
The peddlers in straw hats and carrying their burdens began to move around again, as if one shade was being picked up from one tree to another, and then to the next.
The scorching sunlight, the scorching air, the scorching scenery, passing by every house and building, I feel that the next moment they are like they are on fire and on fire.
I don't know why, this year's summer is extraordinarily hot, much more powerful than in previous years, and the thought of this peddler is a little worried, and if there is a general appearance that is different from the usual routine, something bad will happen.
It's not that he is alarmist, it's his previous experience that tells him, when he was a child, there was a winter that was inexplicably cold, and it was still snowing in April, and many people died of hunger and froze to death! Tut-tut, I really feel miserable when I think about it.
That year, if it weren't for the family nesting in the cellar and staying with the sweet potatoes used for winter, it is estimated that they would either starve to death or freeze to death.
With such a hot method on this day, what should the seedlings in this field do when the time comes? There are many people who have to die in a drought or flood, and the peddler is also worried about the two acres of thin land at home.
Thinking about it so much, my neck was hot and painful, and after picking it for a while, I felt that it couldn't be done, and I couldn't pick it anymore.
When passing by the Guanghan Palace, he paused for a while, and Jiang Wei planted many trees and bamboos in front of the palace, and looked at the bamboo was newly planted, good guy, look at this stout, Nanzhu? Moso bamboo? The peddler didn't recognize it either, he had only heard that bamboo had these two names, and he couldn't read or write.
There should be more people coming and going here, and there are many people taking advantage of the shade, and the prince is generous and allows them to stay. The peddler also picked an open place to rest, and took out the broken kettle he was carrying, which he had picked up from under the roots of the imperial city, sturdy and easy to use, for many years.
As soon as I put down my burden, the dolls with small pigtails who had been staring at the dealer for a long time and my grandparents here rushed over, knowing that this was selling food, sweet! It's refreshing and cheap, and the poor can afford to eat.
He sells cold powder and sells conscience money, delicious and a lot, every day walking the streets and alleys, many people recognize him as the old Jiang family, after a long time, he also thinks about whether to get a signboard for himself, so he asked a gentleman to trouble to reward a word, on the side of his boxy wooden box to write a "ginger" word, so that people will recognize it.
But then someone sued him, saying that there was a horizontal missing in this ginger character, this word, no!
The peddler's surname is Jiang, so he is called Jiang's son, but he can't also write his own name, so naturally he doesn't recognize Jiang.
After worrying for a while, he had to cross out the ginger character on the wooden box, and now it has become a big black scar, and the wooden box that was originally beautiful and shiny and smooth is not good-looking.
After explaining the origin of his signature jelly to the person who was talking to him next to him, the jelly was almost sold, and the people also scattered to the side to eat, and those who couldn't wait had already started fishing.
The peddler got up satisfied, and his jelly sold very well, and in just a while, half of the jelly was sold and half of it was removed. The rest of the way home will be gone, and the jelly will be sold out when I get home.
Just as the peddler was about to leave, he saw that the gate of the Guanghan Palace's mansion was opened, and the inside and outside seemed to be carrying boxes to the palace. I couldn't help but wonder at the people who were also watching standing next to me: "What is the movement in the palace?" ”
A shirtless man said nonchalantly: "I don't know, eighty percent is going to have some happy event!" It's none of our business anyway, right? After saying that, the man smiled at the others, and then walked to the side.
The peddler was puzzled, stood and pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of something, slapped his thigh, stomped his foot and said excitedly: "I remembered!" The prince of Zhao is going to marry King Guanghan! ”
It is said that it is the palace of the king, and there are many palaces in Shaoliang City, but at the moment, this palace is raising something like a dowry, isn't it just about to marry!
"Haha! I'm going to marry another princess! ”
The seller of jelly was very excited, and he was very proud and proud that he had announced this in the first place.
The people around him stared at him with wide eyes in shock, and their jaws almost fell to the ground.
No way! King Guanghan wants to marry the princess of Zhao Kingdom?!
Can Fuda, who came from the east, be so hot that his face turned red and purple, and he was sweating, but he did not feel irritable and tired at all, but was elated. The prince is going to ask for a kiss!
When passing by the dense trees on the right side of the door, I found that the group of people was making a lot of noise, and I couldn't help frowning and preparing to scold, it was not honest to come to enjoy the cold.
"I'm telling the truth! Why don't you believe me! ”
Suddenly a sentence came from the crowd: "Don't make any noise, the big butler of the palace is here, let's just ask!" Ask! ”
Suddenly, there was a sound of harmony all around.
What to ask? Fuda heard something to ask, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
After Fuda heard the whole story, he instantly froze on the spot, and couldn't believe his ears.
When the prince came over in the morning, he clearly said that he was going to the Qi Mansion to propose marriage, and then because he was in a hurry, he urgently ordered Fuda to buy it, so Fuda went out to buy it after he was ordered, and the prince said that everything was to buy the best, and there was no shortage of anything that could be bought on the market.
"Where did you hear about this?" Fuda's stocky body leaned in front of the peddler, and then asked sharply.
The peddler was frightened, but the big butler of Fuda was still very fierce.
So he trembled and said: "I just heard from the sale of cold noodles on Fanxin Street, many people are spreading this matter, I think it is the palace is right, and the name of the person is talking about the Guanghan Palace, so the villain should have heard it correctly." ”
The peddler didn't look like he was lying, so Fuda also believed that it was estimated that this matter was rumored outside.
"Let's go!" Fuda immediately decided to go back to the palace to report this matter, everything he bought had already been bought, and it took more than an hour to get it done, if the person hired was wrong, it would indeed be a joke.
So Fuda turned around and returned my stake with a large group of guards, all of whom had the dowry they had just purchased.
When I arrived at the house, the people who helped carry the dowry at the door did not stop, and they were still moving things inside, but they were all piled up at the door, and they didn't look like they were going to be taken back or given away.
In this way, Fuda is even more strange, could it be that something really happened? In the morning, he was fine before he went out to buy things, and he didn't hear this rumor when he was on the way, why did such a clever dealer hear it?
However, many people watched him procure, with smiles on their faces, and some whispered and pointed. Could it be that there is some misunderstanding here? The boss who bought the things also said that he was congratulating the prince, but the boss knew that the house was going to enter the newcomer, so it was like this.
Now it seems that it is a misunderstanding, but the most important thing now is to find out who the woman the prince is going to marry, whether it is Qi Shu, the lord of Qingming, or Zhao Huanting, the princess of Zhao Kingdom.
When Fuda entered the mansion and asked where the prince was now, he rushed over without saying a word, Ning Ze did not leave the mansion, but stayed in his study, planning to hire relatives to buy things, and write them down one by one on paper, and then ask Fuda to do this.
From last night to now, Ning Ze has not closed his eyes, and he has been thinking about the matter of asking for marriage in his head, thinking about whether he should go to the Qi Mansion directly to ask for marriage while the iron is hot, but he is afraid that Qi Shu will not agree at that time.
If it weren't for that person yesterday, he ruined his good deeds, and he would have married Qi Shu home by now, so he wouldn't be hesitant to come to the door until now, and he couldn't sleep all night.
Finally, the next morning, I figured out the clapper and decided to go to Qi Shu, and handed over all the things to be done to Fuda, just waiting for Fuda to prepare everything according to the custom and carry it all directly to the door.
Although it was the words of the matchmaker of his parents, due to the early death of Ning Ze's parents and the particularity of Qi Shu's marriage, as long as Qi Shu agreed to this marriage, Ning Ze could be hired.
After finally making up his mind, Ning Ze took this step......
"Lord Wang!" Fuda knocked on the door of the study and called anxiously.
But there was silence in the study, and there was no response.
The guard guarding next to him desperately gave Fuda Butler a look, signaling him not to go in, the prince's mood didn't seem to be very good, didn't the housekeeper just make a punching bag when he went in?
But Fuda didn't pay attention to the eyes of the guards next to him, and after thinking about it, he still decided to go in to find out what was going on, and asked what was going on, and at this time he didn't care if the prince was angry.
"Lord Wang, the slave has come in." Regardless of whether Ning Ze gave him in or not, Fuda directly pushed the door and went in. When he went in, he found that Ning Ze was facing the green bamboo outside the window alone, with his back to him.
"Lord Wang." Fuda cautiously called out again.
Sure enough, he was in a bad mood, and Ning Ze, who turned around, had a very ugly complexion, a faint cold and solemn air, and his face was as if it was frosted, and it was extremely dignified.
Fuda's heart couldn't help but chuckle, something must have happened! Before going out in the morning, Ning Ze was still in a very happy mood, but now he is like a frosted eggplant, and he can't lift his spirits.
"Someone is taking a walk in Shaoliang City, and I will marry Zhao Guo Zhao Huanting, and the two countries will marry." Ning Ze wrinkled his eyebrows a little annoyed, saying that the news came from the palace.
In the palace, apart from Ji Xue, Ning Ze couldn't think of a second choice, and he wondered if Ji Xue guessed that he was going to Qi Mansion today to propose marriage, so he deliberately released this news to stop him.
What is a headache now is whether Zhao Guo and Zhao Huanting have a letter to His Majesty, and if so, then why has His Majesty kept pressing it? Or is this news released by His Majesty?
Ning Ze didn't dare to confirm it, but what he could confirm was that Qi Shu would definitely be angry with him after knowing about this matter, but he really went over to explain, and he didn't know where to start.
"Lord Wang, it is imperative that you hurry up and go to the palace to ask if there is such a thing, if there is a misunderstanding, the person who lies will be brought to justice immediately, if there is, then you need to carefully discuss the countermeasures!" Fuda also said with a little anxiety, although he was prepared, he was still shocked.
It was Qi Shu who Ning Ze wanted to propose, but someone released the news that Ning Ze was going to marry the princess of Zhao State, so today's fanfare to prepare the dowry is not to be announced in front of everyone, he Ning Ze is indeed going to take the kiss, but he also temporarily decided to go to Qi Mansion to propose, what is this!
