Ouyang Mansion is Jiang Shuli's foreign family, and his maternal grandfather Ouyang Shan is one of the elders of the cabinet, because he has won the emperor's heart, and has a pivotal position in the court.

On the day Jiang Shuli came to Ouyang Mansion, the weather was cold and rainy.

As soon as the carriage of the Marquis of Changning Mansion stopped at the side gate of Ouyang Mansion, a soft sedan chair that had been waiting for a long time connected Jiang Shuli into the mansion.

First went to Rong'an Hall to meet my grandmother, and my aunt Xie was also there, Jiang Shuli asked for peace with a smile, "Grandmother, my mother said that there are many things in the house recently, and I will come to you in a few days to say goodbye." ”

"Out of the way, out of the way."

Old Madam Ouyang waved her hand, she knew how busy she was to run a Hou Mansion, and she felt sorry for her daughter before it was too late, how could she care about these details.

He took his granddaughter and looked at it, and then asked about the emperor's reward with a smile, and then let Jiang Shuli go to Yihe Pavilion to see Ouyang Cen.

"Your cousin Cen is talking about you every day," Ouyang Lady Xie, that is, Ouyang Ye and Ouyang Cen's mother-in-law, took Jiang Shuli's hand, with a faint melancholy on her face, "She hasn't been in a good mood recently, you can talk to her more." ”

"Uncle and aunt won't bother your sisters, and you will eat in the house at noon, and your aunt will make you your favorite meal."

The Xie family was in charge of Ouyang's mansion, and he was also so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and after arranging Jiang Shuli, he left with the mother-in-law who came to report the matter.

Jiang Shuli followed Ouyang Cen's personal maid Xiaohu to Yihe Pavilion.

Xiaohu whispered, "Miss Table, Miss is not in good spirits these days. ”

Jiang Shuli was curious, "But your body is not good?" ”

"Miss hasn't had a good appetite lately," Xiao Hu nodded worriedly, "and she's lost a bit." But in fact......"

Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, Jiang Shuli stopped asking more, and thought for a while to ask Ouyang Cen.

Although he was mentally prepared, the moment he saw Ouyang Cen, Jiang Shuli couldn't help but blurt out, "Cousin, why did you lose so much weight?" ”

When Ouyang Cen saw Jiang Shuli, the corners of his eyes immediately turned red, and he pulled her into the inner wing.

"My father wants to marry me to Du Ping, the son of the Marquis of Linshan."

Ouyang Cen wiped his tears and uttered amazing words, so aggrieved that he couldn't do it.

Jiang Shuli was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "The son of Linshan Hou?" But that Du Ping, who has no ambitions in his life and has to collect good horses and beauties? ”

Ouyang Cen bowed his head, pulled Jiang Shuli and said, "Cousin, what do you think I should do?" ”

"Linshan Hou came to propose?" Jiang Shuli tried hard to dig into the understanding of Du Ping in his mind, but he knew too little.

"Not yet," Ouyang Cen said with a sad face, "I went to my mother's a few days ago, and I heard my father tell my mother outside the door." ”

"Cousin, I remember that Du Ping seems to be almost the age of his establishment?"

Ouyang Cen nodded, "Yes, he is twenty-five years old this year. ”

Facing Du Ping, Ouyang Cen didn't know much, since he overheard that his father wanted her to marry into the Linshan Hou Mansion, he gave out the money and asked Xiaohu to inquire outside.

Linshan Hou is Du Ping, an only son, although he is twenty-five years old, he has never married a wife.

I heard that Linshan Hou couldn't get this son after trying all kinds of methods, and he had stopped thinking about letting him marry a wife a few years ago.

"Then why does my uncle still want this family?" Jiang Shuli was puzzled.

Ouyang Cen had some conjectures in her heart, but she didn't say it directly, what she wanted to talk to Jiang Shuli about now was Du Ping.

"I heard that he likes to collect good horses on weekdays, and often goes to the Northwest Frontier to buy horses," Ouyang Cen said the news he heard one by one, "That's it, he also has a hobby of collecting beauties." ”

"I heard that his yard is full of all kinds of beauties who are fat and thin, and because he can't live there, he has expanded several yards."

Jiang Shuli has a big head, how could such a personal uncle think of sending his cousin to the fire pit?

Immediately understood the reason why Ouyang Cen was getting thinner.

"Shuli, what do you say my cousin should do?" Ouyang Cen was pitiful.

"My cousin doesn't want to marry," Jiang Shuli frowned and thought to herself, "Why don't you be honest with your uncle and aunt?" ”

Ouyang Cen also held his cheeks, shook his head and sighed, "What are you honest?" Say I don't want to marry Du Ping? Then if my father and mother change again, will I get married? After all......"

"After all, it's not what you want?" Jiang Shuli's face was full of narrowness.

Ouyang Cen couldn't help but chuckle, stretched out his hand and nodded Jiang Shuli's forehead, "Just what you say." ”

After speaking, she sighed faintly, "It's really that difficult." ”

"My cousin's love for Brother Cheng didn't reveal it to my aunt, do you know?"

Ouyang Cen shook his head, this kind of daughter's heart can be said casually.

"What about the fact that both of them got treasure at the Saburo banquet?"

Ouyang Cen froze, shook his head and nodded, "Although I haven't mentioned it personally, my father and mother should have learned about it from other sources." ”

This is her biggest knot.

The double duploon of the San Lang Banquet has always been said to be a good couple, and how many good couples are good stories after they come to the door to propose marriage.

She thought that after her parents heard about it, her family affairs would fall into place.

But that's not the case!

Not only did this not happen, but his father also proposed to his mother that Du Ping, the son of the Marquis of Linshan, be considered.

In fact, Ouyang Cen probably knew the reason why his father wanted her to marry Du Ping.

Her father, Ouyang Heng, is currently the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and the Marquis of Linshan is the cousin of the Lu family, the wife of Luo Tao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Let her get married, I'm afraid it's just to curry favor with the Ministry of Rites!

Thinking of this, Ouyang Cen couldn't help but feel disheartened, how could she resist when she became a family and paid attention to her parents' orders?

"Then ......" Jiang Shuli lost his mind for a while, "Cousin, how do you want me to help you?" ”

Ouyang Cen's face turned red in an instant, she bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up her courage, "Shuli, can you help me pass a letter to Cheng Gongzi?" ”

Messenger?

Jiang Shuli smiled and stretched out his palm, "It's a trivial matter, give it to me." ”

Putting away the plain flower letterhead with a faint fragrance, Jiang Shuli was curious, "Cousin, do you want Brother Cheng to come and propose?" ”

Ouyang Cen's face suddenly turned red, and he glanced at Jiang Shuli and said, "If you are not ashamed or dry, you are embarrassed to say it." ”

"The letterhead is just asking about Cheng Gongzi's recent situation and his plans in his career."

Ouyang Cen didn't hide it from Jiang Shuli, the sisters were good and had nothing to say.

"That's it?" Jiang Shuli was shocked, "Didn't you say anything about the son of Linshan Hou?" ”

Ouyang Cen shook his head.

"Didn't you say you wanted him to propose?"

Ouyang Cen glared at her angrily, "What are you talking about?" If he has the heart, he will naturally be able to inquire, and he will naturally do what to do. If he has no intention, I am only humiliating himself. ”

It turned out that there were still so many doorways, Jiang Shuli bowed his head to indicate that he was taught, "Cousin, don't worry, I will ask Jiaying to help you deliver the message tomorrow." The letterhead will be in the hands of Brother Cheng tomorrow night. ”
