blind date
Ling Yuan drank tea in the palace for a while, and he was also depressed.
Originally, he was often angry with Yang Su since he was in Huzhou, but now that he has become the king of a country, he is even more unscrupulous when he is angry.
When he returned to the mansion, he met Ling Song coming out, and he glanced at him and said, "Mother asked the eldest brother to go." ”
"What's the matter?" He asked.
Ling Song glanced left and right and said, "It's not for you to propose marriage." These days, matchmakers are about to break through the threshold. ”
Originally, the young, heroic and self-loving Marquis of Wu Ning was fragrant and sweet, since the situation of the court was calmed down, and the victory was finally decided, the prestige of the Marquis of Wuning's Mansion rose, and there were more people who wanted to become Mrs. Marquis of Wuning.
It can be said that in this situation, there are far fewer people who want to enter the palace as concubines than those who want to marry into the Ling family.
Ling Yuan also knew that when it was time to talk about marriage, it was impossible to avoid this matter.
Besides, as the head of the Ling family, he really needs a suitable partner to shoulder this responsibility with him.
It's just a marriage proposal, so let's go and see.
When she arrived in Mrs. Ling's room, sure enough, there were a bunch of posts on the round table in front of her.
"You're here just in time, I'm looking for a few posts here, all of them are good women with innocent family backgrounds, can you take a look?"
Mrs. Ling handed him the picked post and said.
Ling Yuan took a look at it, they were all from the old Yanjing who knew the roots, and they were really innocent from their families.
"Which one does Mother think is the most suitable?" He asked.
Mrs. Ling sighed: "I let you see, the daughter-in-law is living with you, why do you ask me?" ”
"I'm too lazy to look at it, my mother knows better than me, you say I'll take a look at it."
Ling Yuan put the post back, and then picked up the tea and drank it.
His appearance of drinking tea has always been upright, worthy of the majesty of his Marquis Wu Ning.
Mrs. Ling's face was not very good, but it was pitiful to think that he had been a stuffy gourd for twenty years, and as a result, he drove all the bells away.
sighed and picked out one of them, and said: "This girl from the Wang family, I have seen it, her appearance and talent are excellent, and her big eyes are also like our bells, I think you should go and see it." ”
Ling Yuan said, "Why do you have to look like a bell? Change one. ”
Bell is now married to a man who is extremely good at blocking him, and he can't do anything with him yet! The two are in the same group, does he have to look like her when he marries a daughter-in-law?
Mrs. Ling's face was a little ugly, and she picked another one and said: "This girl from the Li family, the family has been reading for several generations, but her father is in the army, so her temperament is also relatively free, and her appearance is also very outstanding, which is more than enough for your stuffy gourd." ”
And said, "If this doesn't work, you can choose it yourself." ”
Ling Yuan glanced at her and took the post.
The meeting place with Miss Li was chosen on the banks of the Haizi River.
As the Marquis of Wu Ning, he wants to see the real person before marrying his daughter-in-law, which should not be too much of a request.
Of course, this kind of meeting is not too direct, so the girl is led by the matchmaker to play by the lake, and Ling Yuan will go over when the time comes, as a chance encounter.
It's old-fashioned.
But isn't it old-fashioned to have a biological child? That's what it means.
Ling Yuan arrived at Haizi River. and soon met the woman and her party.
On the willow embankment across the three trees, Miss Li walked over there, and Ling Yuan, who was holding her hands, paced here, and their eyes inadvertently met, and both sides generously exchanged their jaws.
He picked a clean and spacious open-top noodle restaurant and sat down.
"Boss, bring me a big bowl of Yangchun noodles."
A delicate voice came from beside him.
Ling Yuan looked over, the little girl sat down at the next table, and the two velvet flowers on her head trembled in the breeze, yo, acquaintance.
Ling Yuan coughed.
Xu Jinruo looked over, her eyes widened in surprise, and just as she wanted to say hello, a fragrant breeze wafted by, and a girl in a pink and purple summer shirt sat down opposite Ling Yuan.
Xu Jinruo withdrew her round mouth.
Ling Yuan also retracted his gaze.
Miss Li said generously: "I didn't expect Master Hou to patronize such a shop." ”
Ling Yuan's eyebrows were slightly cold: "Food is not expensive or cheap. ”
Miss Li raised her lips and chuckled: "This is my cousin's uncle." ”
Ling Yuan paused.
Miss Li smiled: "I'll invite Master Hou to eat noodles." As she spoke, she winced and let the maid come in to greet her.
Ling Yuan looked at her and said nothing.
Xu Jinruo looked at the pair, and it didn't seem difficult to guess what the relationship was.
But she was in a bad mood and didn't have the heart to care about them.
When the noodles came, the aroma hooked the gluttonous insects, she picked up a pinch and buried her head in eating.
"Master Hou knows that girl?"
Miss Li smiled and looked at the other side.
Ling Yuan withdrew his gaze from the next table again and said, "It's General Xu's sister." ”
Xu Lan has meritorious service from the dragon, Xu Yao also contributed to Liaodong, and now although Xu Yao is still guarding Liaodong, the meaning is different. Both father and son have been promoted and have become upstarts in Beijing. When it comes to "General Xu", most people don't need to ask to know who it is.
Miss Li turned her head and glanced at Xu Jinruo, and her eyes were more clear.
"I'm going to say hello to Miss Xu." She said.
"Not necessarily." Ling Yuan said, "The child doesn't know what to make trouble, don't bother her." ”
Miss Li glanced at him.
The atmosphere was quite boring, and the taste of the noodles looked good, but Ling Yuan had no appetite.
Miss Li watched him sit absent-mindedly, her heart was secretly sinking, and it was boring to sit again, so she got up with a smile: "If I go shopping again, I won't stop Master Hou." ”
Ling Yuan said, "Slow down. ”
He touched his purse, took out a few copper plates and handed them to the guy: "Face money." Return the money paid by Miss Li. ”
The guy glanced at Miss Li.
Miss Li smiled: "It's just a bowl of noodles, why bother with Master Hou." ”
Ling Yuan stood up: "You are Miss Qianjin. ”
It's a young lady, how can you invite a man to eat casually?
He has no intention of her, and naturally he can't keep these heads and tails.
Miss Li looked at him for a while, but she couldn't laugh anymore, she took the money and left.
Ling Yuan respected her for her ease and watched in place.
Xu Jinruo finished eating a whole bowl of noodles, paid the bill and got up, and saw Ling Yuan standing under the tree, so he also cleared his throat.
Ling Yuan turned his head and looked her up and down: "Full?" ”
Xu Jinruo swallowed the burp that reached the mouth of her throat, looked at Miss Li who was far away, and said, "Master Hou is coming to swim in the lake?" ”
Ling Yuan walked forward slowly: "You can come, I can't come?" ”
"How can I be like you, I'm out to relax."
Xu Jinruo couldn't help but follow him.
"Oh." Ling Yuan replied lightly, "What kind of heart?" ”
"It's not my brother yet—"
Anyway, Ling Yuan is not an outsider anymore, since he returned to Beijing after fighting Xu Lan, the two of them have almost been inseparable from Meng, and they are already quite familiar with each other, Xu Jinruo told Xu Lan that Xu Lan was promoted to an official and his temper became bigger after his errands multiplied.
"I wanted to go back to Jinling, but he didn't let me, and said that I only cared about being happy all day long, and I was not sensible at all."
