Chapter 31: Think Twice Before You Act
"Xu Langyin, what are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and fold up your quilt and tidy up your room; I haven't had anything for you to do lately, but it's not the time for you to be lazy. At some point, Old Man Xu suddenly stood beside Xu Langyin, and saw that Xu Langyin hadn't gotten up yet, and half of the quilt had fallen to the ground, without the appearance of a lady.
"What are you afraid of, it's rare that I don't have anything special to do today, I've been busy before, but I'm tired; I'm going to be here alone today for a good rest. Although Xu Langyin said this, she still hoped to be able to go out and find something to do for herself, after all, it was not her style to do nothing at home. Although I often complain when I'm busy, it's really a bit uncomfortable to be idle.
But Xu Langyin was also afraid that what she was doing would be discovered by Old Man Xu, in case of that, the consequences would be unimaginable, so she didn't dare to act rashly for the time being. This kind of thing, once the East Window incident happens, it will not end well. So it's best not to let grandpa know about this kind of thing.
"Really, I want to be lazy as soon as I get my spare time, right, let me tell you, today is not the time for you to be lazy, there will be a noble person who will come to our house in a while, you have nothing to do here, let outsiders see it, what kind of system it is" Old Man Xu continued to say to Xu Langyin with a serious expression and tone.
"What kind of distinguished guest, our famous old man Xu is so respected, except for the emperor, it can be said that there is no one else" Xu Langyin looked at Old Man Xu with a puzzled expression, she also wanted to know who was coming to their house today, so as to prepare. But it doesn't matter who comes, it's not your favorite person anyway. There is no need to dress up, and there is no need to clean up, after all, no one has to like Xu Langyin too much. She is such a casual and carefree person.
"Presumptuous, today the famous Four Princes are coming to our house. If you neglect others, if the emperor uses this as an excuse to condemn us, do you bear the responsibility? Old Man Xu looked at the absent-minded Xu Langyin and said to Xu Langyin with an angry face. is such a big girl, why don't you understand this bit of politeness. If you don't clean up, you should at least fold the quilt and tie up your hair! "Old man Xu looks like he hates iron but not steel, how can this female doll be so presumptuous, sooner or later she will suffer.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier, I also came here to delay our affairs and rest time because I was some inconsequential idle people waiting for something important to discuss with you. Since the Fourth Prince is coming, you should have told me earlier, so that I can have some preparations. ”
Xu Langyin anxiously tidied up his room and bed, and said to Old Man Xu. I thought it was who! It turned out to be the Four Princes! This is a person worthy of her Xu Langyin's dress. Hurriedly turned over and folded the quilt, then sat down in front of the mirror and began to make up.
"How can I have so much time to report these things to you one by one, aren't you very good at investigating things yourself? Why didn't you investigate such an important matter that the four princes wanted to come over a few years ago, if you want me to say, you just have nothing to do and blindly investigate, it's purely unserious.
Old Man Xu anxiously helped Xu Langyin sort out her things, and said to Xu Langyin in a helpless tone.
"Well, it's useless to say anything now, let's get things sorted out quickly. Don't wait for a while for the four princes to come over, seeing this look, we won't have the face to face others. When Xu Langyin heard that the fourth prince was coming, he immediately became very anxious. After all, he is the fourth prince, and he can't be easily neglected.
"The four princes of the family came here to discuss important matters with us, and you will not be allowed to do this without seriousness when the time comes. Otherwise, don't blame me for beating you. ”
Old Man Xu looked at Xu Langyin with a serious expression and said to Xu Langyin, because he didn't want Xu Langyin to lose the face of his general's mansion in front of the four princes. Of course, he can't let the four princes look down on the General's Mansion. Old Man Xu didn't know about the matter between the Four Princes and Xu Langyin at this time.
"Knock Knock"
After a while, there was a knock on the door outside, and Xu Langyin and Old Man Xu were shocked when they opened the door.
The four princes and the guards beside them each held a dowry in their hands, and insisted that Old Man Xu and Xu Langyin accept it, Old Man Xu and Xu Langyin looked at each other, but in the end, both of them just shook their heads at each other, and no one knew what was going on. Xu Langyin thought to himself, the cat cried and the mouse was fake compassion, and he didn't know that this was the play he sang today. Nothing good in short. Let's take a look.
"The fourth prince, not only why did you send these dowry gifts today, Lao Chendou guessed, could it be that the four princes fell in love with my family's Xu Langyin, so they specially sent a dowry gift, and wanted to officially marry our family's Xu Langyin?" Old Man Xu asked the fourth prince respectfully.
"Guess right, I really want to come and propose to you, Old Man Xu, today, but I didn't fall in love with Xu Langyin of your family, think about it carefully, there is another person in your family who seems to be thousands of times better than Xu Langyin." The fourth prince shook his head and said to Old Man Xu.
Xu Langyin didn't get angry after hearing this, I rely on these four princes! How can you say that about me! It's not bad if I'm not a thousand times better than Xu Yizhen! What a vision! Although I thought so in my heart, my expression was still respectful.
"The old minister is stupid, and I hope that the four princes will forgive their sins, so I don't know which girl in our family the four princes have taken a fancy to, the girl from our general's mansion can marry the four princes, and it is also a great honor for my general's mansion, the four princes may as well tell the old minister directly to listen, and the old minister can also directly help the four princes."
Old Man Xu continued to say respectfully to the four princes, because he never thought that the four princes would actually like someone other than Xu Langyin, Xu Langyin can be regarded as the best woman in the general's mansion, if the four princes can't even look down on Xu Langyin, who else can they look at, which makes Old Man Xu curious.
"Since it's so rare for me to come to your house as a guest, don't ask questions about it yet, at least pour me a cup of tea first, and it's not too late to discuss the rest later." The fourth prince casually found a place to sit down, said to Old Man Xu and Xu Langyin, and waved his hand to signal the servants beside him to place all the dowry gifts.
When Old Man Xu saw this scene, he also found that the four princes really wanted to come to propose, so he happily went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea and handed it to the four princes.
"Fourth prince, this is the tea you want, our coarse tea, I don't know if it suits your appetite, if there is any disagreement, please forgive me. If there is anything special, you can also tell me to do it, and you don't need to be polite to me or anything. Old Man Xu bent down and said to the four princes.
I saw that the fourth prince picked up the tea that Old Man Xu had given him, and in less than three minutes, he drank all the tea.
"This time, Mr. Xu also saw it, I came to propose marriage, I think the person named Xu Yitang in your family is beautiful and has a good character, can Mr. Xu give me a face, and give me Xu Yitang" The fourth prince put down the teacup, looked at Mr. Xu with a serious face, and said to Mr. Xu.
"What four princes really marry our family's Xu Yitang? But Xu Yitang of our family, I'm afraid he is not worthy of the four princes" Old man Xu thought of Xu Yitang, and he wondered how Xu Yitang got together with the four princes, and how he was so lazy and how he could easily please the prince
"This matter is a long story, my relationship with Xu Yitang has been hidden from Mr. Xu for a long time, and today is also the time to reveal the truth to Mr. Xu." The expression of the fourth prince suddenly became very serious, which made Xu Langyin and Old Man Xu couldn't help but shudder.
"If the four princes have something, but it doesn't hurt to say it, what the old minister can do, it must be done for the four princes. The old minister can also understand the emperor and the prince's heart. ”
However, having said that, the truth surprised Old Man Xu. It turned out that the Four Princes and Xu Yitang had already made a private agreement for life, but Old Man Xu didn't know about this matter, which made Old Man Xu very angry, but after all, the four princes in front of him were also the Four Princes, and he couldn't do anything.
And the fourth prince is actually an old treacherous person, in order to get the support of the General's Mansion, he has one set to face to face and another set to people behind his back, in front of Xu Langyin and Xu Yitang, he can't wait to say the benefits of the General's Mansion, but in front of others, he says that Old Man Xu and the people in the General's Mansion are not things.
The reason for this is also very simple, that is, Xu Langyin likes him very much and will always believe in him unconditionally, but the fourth prince also took advantage of this to mix very well, and Xu Yitang often openly provoked Xu Langyin in front of Old Man Xu because of this matter.
"Please wait a while, I'll go and discuss with Xu Yitang, and after she agrees, I'll take her to see the four princes, I don't know what the four princes think" Although the old man Xu said respectfully to the four princes, in fact, the old man Xu's heart is actually very unbalanced, just regret the marriage, and marry someone else. Although they are all granddaughters of the General's Mansion, where does this situation make Xu Langyin's face? So he wanted to discuss with Xu Langyin and "tease" the four princes.
"Okay? Then there are two Lao, and I also ask Mr. Xu and Miss Xu Langyin to help me persuade Xu Yitang, if she can marry me, it can be regarded as a rise in the prestige of the General's Mansion, and there is no harm between the two of us, I suggest that Mr. Xu think twice before acting. ”
