Chapter 68: The Marriage Contract

"I can't find him for a day, there is no fixed number, and I have this matter hanging in my heart! Zhennan can't change people, and those who think about him in their hearts won't be at ease for me, and this won't hinder it! ”

Without outsiders, Ma Xisheng no longer calls himself lonely, as if he relied on his mother to save him.

"You're too anxious! Isn't it only a month or two? After a year and a half of disappearance, who still remembers him? Who can stop you?! ”

"Then leave him alone?" Ma Xisheng was surprised, he never expected that his mother was not in a hurry at all.

"Don't worry, just wait for the result slowly, calm down." Concubine Yuan Defei was comforting when she heard someone talking outside the hall.

"Father-in-law Zhao, please be accommodating! I must see the king, I can't wait! ”

"It's really annoying, I'm actually chasing here......" Ma Xi muttered dissatisfied, and Concubine Yuan De cleared her throat: "Isn't the king going to see it?" ”

"See you!" Ma Xi said angrily, and asked Zhao Jichang to lead people into the hall.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

General Cheng knelt down and said: "King, Wu Yue has recently recruited a wide range of soldiers, adjacent to the waters, the town guard envoy came to report, suspecting that Wu Yue has the intention of attacking, and the minister implores the king to transfer troops to garrison and take precautions against the enemy, so as to set the heart of the army!" ”

"What? Wu Yue actually wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob? It's disgusting! Lonely this is ......"

"Ahem." Before Ma Xi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Jichang's sudden cough, he glanced at Zhao Jichang, and then showed an indecisive expression: "Lonely...... Discuss with the right minister and then make a decision! ”

"The King's ......"

"General Cheng, the king has already spoken, you go back and wait for the news!" Zhao Jichang immediately picked up people.

"But ......"

Zhao Jichang glared at General Cheng: "Don't you see that the king has anything important here?" ”

Events? What is more important than the safety of the country? But this made it clear that he would not let him talk about it, and he could only let General Cheng retire in a stupid manner.

As soon as General Cheng went out, Ma Xisheng lost the interest in talking to his mother, and was about to say goodbye, but unexpectedly, Concubine Yuan suddenly asked: "What is the reaction of the Peng family to the disappearance of King Qi?" ”

Ma Xisheng pondered for a moment: "Peng Yu has already been sick and recuperating for more than a month......

"Really? I thought they would ask for the marriage to be dissolved! ”

Ma Xisheng's eyebrows were immediately raisedβ€”he had forgotten about it!

……

As soon as Peng Lan took the girl Rouge to the door of her mother Xu's room, she bumped into a group of girls who were kicked out.

She glanced at the untouched food on the tray, and after the servant retreated, she entered the house and knelt at Xu's feet.

"Mother, it's the daughter who is not filial, no matter how angry you are, you can't skip this meal!"

Xu Shi looked bitter, she didn't let her daughter get up, but took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes.

"Mother......

"Lan'er! You made a marriage contract with King Qi, and you also said that King Qi was very good to you, how come you have not even known anything about him at this juncture, and you don't even know what happened to him? ”

Peng Lan bowed her head aggrievedly: "Mother, my daughter doesn't understand ......"

"Don't understand? How light these three words are! Now the one in the West Chamber is watching our jokes! ”

Peng Lan looked up in shock: "West Chamber? Why is she? ”

"She also has a daughter!"

Xu Shi said a tear and fell, Peng Lan panicked: "Could it be ......" Before she finished speaking, her face changed greatly, and then she stood up suddenly: "I'll go find my father!" ”

Peng Lan hurriedly ran out, Rouge hurriedly chased behind, and Xu wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

Peng Lan hurried to the front yard and went straight to the study, but was stopped by the housekeeper standing at the door.

"Miss!"

"Uncle Shou, I'm here to see my father......"

"Shh The housekeeper gestured quietly, glanced towards the study, and then made a gesture of invitation, and took Peng Lan away a little.

"Miss! The master is meeting the distinguished guests in the study, and it is not appropriate for you to go in at this time. ”

"Distinguished guests? Who is it? ”

The butler pursed his mouth: "You better not ask." ”

Peng Lan's face was gloomy when she heard this, and she glanced at the study: "Who is it?" ”

The housekeeper bowed his head and didn't answer, but Peng Lan had an answer: "Sixth son? ”

The housekeeper looked at Peng Lan in surprise, obviously not expecting that the smart eldest lady had already guessed the answer, but he was still silent.

"My father is going to tell Rong'er to the sixth son, right?"

The housekeeper sighed: "Miss, since you are like a mirror in your heart, why do you bother to ask?" ”

Hearing this, a touch of pain appeared on Peng Lan's face, and then she turned around and walked back, rushing to a secluded corner of the garden before stopping, her eyes red at an old tree.

"Miss! Over there! The girl who followed her all the way, rouge, pulled her sleeve and pointed to the side, it was Peng Rong, the second daughter of the Peng family, who was taking the maid Xiuxiu to walk in the garden with a spring breeze on her face.

Peng Lan hurriedly pulled up the rouge and retreated to the side, she didn't want to see the other party in the eyes, but at this time, a little girl ran in from the side door and rushed to Peng Rong.

"Congratulations to Miss Two!"

Xiuxiu's voice raised an octave excitedly: "Is it done?" ”

"It's done! The little one heard it clearly, the old man opened his mouth, and the sixth son should also go down, and said that he would let people send the eight characters in a few days!

Peng Lan, who was hiding behind the old tree, looked a little ugly.

"This is a reward from the second lady! If there is any news, run faster! β€œ

"Yes, yes, Miss Xie Er!"

The little guy left, and Peng Lan, who was standing behind the tree, had his hand clenched into a fist.

"Miss, you're going to turn over this time!"

"God gives me the opportunity, I will definitely seize it."

Peng Rong happily walked away with Xiuxiu, and Rouge looked at Peng Lan distressedly and whispered: "Miss, if the sixth prince really became a relative to the second lady, and you pray for the king here...... Then you can ...... later"

"Shut up!" Peng Lan gritted her teeth, her eyes were like knives: "I will never allow myself to become a loser because of the disappearance of His Royal Highness King Qi!" ”

Peng Lan said and turned around and walked towards Peng Yu's study, but as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw the housekeeper Peng Shou leading Peng Yan into the study.

"Isn't that Peng Yan? How could he ......"

Peng Yan is a distant relative of the clan, and he served as the Yijie lieutenant of Bapin in Nanchuan County, and he will not appear in Peng's Mansion according to the rules, and his father can return to Changsha Mansion for a while because the first king Daxing and the new king succeed to the throne.

"Are you sure?" My father's voice was tinged with joy.

"Of course it's certain! At first, I didn't expect that it was His Royal Highness King Qi, and it was General Du who led the troops to chase me and show me the portrait, and I knew that there were still seven or eight images of the portrait and the person! I didn't think it was right at the time, and I didn't dare to say anything, for fear of hurting our eldest lady's ......"

"Less nonsense! I ask you, do you know where he went? ”

"He went out from the west gate of Nanchuan, and when he turned over Toutuo Mountain, it was Shudi, which was ......"

"Shudi?" Peng Yu's voice was full of surprise: "He actually ran out of the realm of Chu State?" ”

Peng Lan heard the mention of her skirt here, and rushed into the study, "Father, please let me take someone to Shu to find King Qi!" ”
