Chapter 263: Marriage Proposal
Fortunately, Yuan Xuepei did not disappoint the Jiang family in the end.
The next morning, Jian Limiao went to the Jiang family's courtyard and handed over a post, saying that he was entrusted by the Marquis of Boling to come to propose marriage.
Jian Limiao's health has not been very good, and when he was welcomed into the door, he couldn't help coughing a few times, so he apologized after sitting down: "Marquis Boling originally wanted to invite his uncle King Hengshan to come, but the concubine only went in April, and the prince is still guarding filial piety, and it is not good to be happy." The elder of Bolinghou's own side has not been in contact for a long time, and he has thought about it, but because he is friendly with Ah Xu, he has been entrusted to me. If you are negligent, please bear with me! ”
- Of course, Yuan Xuepei and his second uncle haven't been in contact for a long time, after all, he only drove this family out of the Hou Mansion at the beginning of last year. The problem is that Jiang Muyao was calculated this time, and Second Uncle Yuan's family is one of the culprits, if Yuan Xuepei still wants to invite this uncle to propose marriage, it is not that he wants to get married, but he wants to make a feud.
In addition to this uncle, Yuan Xuepei's connections are probably the prince's faction, and he is simply separated from Miao, and he is the official Shangshu Youcheng, who is under the fourth grade, although the grade is not high, but as the biological son of the former prime minister Jian Pingyu and the uncle of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, his identity is not bad.
The point is that his political stance is the same as that of the Jiang family, and he belongs to the center.
He stepped forward, at least a little more relaxed when they spoke.
It shows that Yuan Xuepei is thinking about today's proposal.
"Jian Youcheng's words are serious!" Jiang Yin ordered someone to send fragrant tea, took a sip, and said warmly, "The right wind is clear, rare in the world, and when I came today, my door can be described as full of brilliance." ”
Due to the clear purpose, after the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, there was nothing to be verbose, and the marriage was directly finalized - because it was still in the summer season, everything on the mountain was inconvenient, so the specific wedding date, dowry, and wedding had to be discussed in detail after returning to the imperial capital.
Jian Limiao came empty-handed today, but when he arrived at this time, he took out a delicate and small sandalwood box from his sleeve: "This fulcrum is a rich and red gold hairpin with a white head, which was personally explained by the mother of the Marquis of Boling when she was dying, and she wanted to be with her future daughter-in-law." Since it is about marriage today, it should be kept as a token! ”
Jiang Yin glanced left and right, Jiang Muying came out to pick it up, thanked Jian Limiao, and everyone talked again, and Jian Limiao also left.
This family affair was concluded in a hurry, but it was expected by everyone - but although everyone guessed that the Jiang family would definitely be reluctant to give Jiang Muyao to Ji Mingfei, they were not optimistic about her and Yuan Xuepei: "If you have a broken leg, you can't go out, just rely on the title, and that's it!" The Jiang family, who had the opportunity to be a princess earlier, can only marry to the Hou Mansion now, not to mention, this Marquis Boling himself is destined to have no career, and if he meets Princess Wei in the future, he will have no face! ”
"She can be a princess, that's when she is innocent. Now who doesn't know that she is in love with the Marquis of Boling, but she is not clear with the Ji family? If it weren't for the fact that the Jiang family spoiled her, and was afraid of forcing the Jiang family to the side of the second king of Wei and Zhao, the Marquis of Boling would not want her before, how could he change his mind? ”
"So these two are now in the right place, one is a waste, and the other is a broken flower and a willow?"
For a while, there was no shortage of whispers like this up and down.
Jin Xun heard it, and said that when he and Song Yi laughed, he couldn't help but take a sip: "These people talk so harshly, Miss Jiang is just alone with Prince Ji, and the two of them haven't touched their fingers, and they are actually said to be broken flowers and willows!" This is still the third master Yuan Hou Ye has asked the third master to go to the Jiang family to propose, otherwise, I don't know what the words are so ugly? It's strange that the master of the Jiang family is going to invite himself out to avoid the limelight! ”
Song Yixiao didn't think so after hearing it, if the Jiang family was afraid of people's words, when Jiang Muyao and Princess Wei missed the position, they should quickly marry Jiang Muyao, since there is not, it can be seen that this family, at least the family is not afraid of things.
Now these gossips are not good, but they are probably talking behind their backs, in front of people, there are not so many fools, in order to offend the Jiang family in order to die for a while - even if there is, with the fact that Jiang Muyao has been hired by Yuan Xuepei, it is natural for the Jiang family to give their daughter a head!
After all, the person who married Jiang Muyao didn't say anything, is it the turn of others to dislike Jiang Muyao and ruin her reputation?
Song Yixiao is not worried about Yuan Xuepei, this Marquis of Boling lost his parents at a young age, and under the calculations of many elders such as his stepgrandmother and second uncle, he not only has to take care of himself, but also has to pull his sister, and has experienced disability, even if his mind cannot reach the point of being tempered, at least it has been tested for a long time.
If such a thing could hit him, then he would not be alive a long time ago!
As for Jiang Muyao herself, she is protected by her family, and she is not a fool who can force her to die with a few bad words.
It's okay to listen to it - when I went to the Jiang family's courtyard to congratulate Jiang Muyao the next day, I saw that Jiang Muyao was really beaming, and she was not affected by public opinion at all.
There were other congratulatory people in the middle, and they mentioned Ji Mingfei, not waiting for their companions to stop them, Jiang Muyao played with the fan in his hand, and smiled first: "There was a misunderstanding, the palace and the elders have talked about it, why should you be worried?" ”
She was so down-and-out and generous, she was not ashamed or ashamed, but let that person realize Meng Lang, apologize to her in a scornful manner, and then don't say anything.
In general, although some people came to this congratulation with the mentality of watching the excitement, the overall situation was still undisturbed - after all, the people who came to the door had some friendship with the Jiang family or Jiang Muyao, even if they were not so close in their hearts, it was impossible to be rude on the scene.
The one who mentioned Ji Mingfei before was already a villain.
It's just that Song Yixiao always felt that the Su family sisters who arrived early in the morning looked at her very strangely.
Especially Su Shaomo, her eyes couldn't help but sweep over her lower abdomen, and the ghostly expression on her face made it difficult for people to pretend to be confused - so Song Yixiao and Wei Yinlian, Xie Yiren and other friends chatted for a while, and simply took the initiative to walk over: "The two young ladies have been looking at me, but do you have anything to say to me?" ”
"I heard you're pregnant?" Su Shaoling was slightly embarrassed when she heard this, and was about to explain, but Su Shaomo was stunned and asked, "But really?" ”
"Nature is true." Song Yixiao was inexplicable when she heard this, and asked in surprise, "Okay, what am I pretending to be pregnant?" ”
If you don't know that Su Shaomo is a straightforward sex. Son, she will be unhappy: what is it called whether she is really pregnant, as if she is faking pregnancy and competing for favor! I don't want to think that it has only been less than a year since she came out of the cabinet, and her relationship with her husband and mother-in-law is not bad, and she has a good life, so why take the risk of lying about this kind of thing?
"Sixth sister, what did you say?" Fortunately, Su Shaoling was present, and hurriedly said, "Now everyone knows about this on the mountain, but you don't believe it!" ”
said and apologized to Song Yixiao, "Mrs. Song, don't be surprised, what my sixth sister means is that I only heard a few months ago that Princess Wei and Princess Liang were pregnant, and now that you have it, I feel weird." It's just that you also know that Sixth Sister has always spoken a little roughly, and where she offends, please Haihan! ”
Song Yixiao said with a smile that she didn't care-but she didn't believe Su Shaoling's words, after all, the eyes of the Su family sisters were not like simple accidents or surprises, but they were complicated to see things that they couldn't understand.
But now the two sisters made it clear that they didn't want to tell her the reason, and she couldn't be unrelenting because she was stared at, so after chatting a few words, she made an excuse to say goodbye and went back to her seat.
"How?" Song Yixiao walked on the front foot, and Su Shaomo couldn't wait to pull Su Shaoling and ask, "Can you see if she is really pregnant or pretending?" ”
Su Shaoling's face was embarrassed: "I just followed the second brother to read a few medical techniques, how can I be sure of such a thing just by taking a face?" But now that the entire Cuihua Mountain knows that she is pregnant, how can it not be fake? ”
She was actually sighing in her heart - if Su Shaomo hadn't questioned Song Yixiao's pregnancy as soon as she came up, she could still try to find a reason to check Song Yixiao's pulse and confirm it in the name of concern and the like. But Su Shaomo shouted, how could Su Shaoling make such a request again?
"But the second brother's eyesight won't be bad?" Su Shaomo tilted her head and said curiously, "What's going on?" Yan Guogong's identity is left there, and it is impossible for his wife to ...... with others."
"Stop talking nonsense!" When Su Shaoling heard this, her face turned red, she hurriedly covered her mouth, and looked left and right - seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Song is here, you talk nonsense so that she knows, don't stop with us!" What's more, if you say something like this, how can you talk nonsense without evidence? It's going to be passed out, but it's going to kill people! ”
Su Shaomo didn't have bad intentions, but just guessed casually, this would see her sister's nervous appearance, pursed the corners of her mouth, and said in the end: "Okay, but I don't think the second brother will be wrong - there must be something wrong with the two of them!" ”
"Let's go talk to Miss Jiang!" Su Shaoling was afraid that she would poke the basket again, so she hurriedly changed the topic, got up and said, "I came here today to congratulate her, but I only said hello to her until now!" ”
After the congratulation of this day, Song Yixiao returned to the courtyard and told her husband about the abnormality of the Su sisters, and wondered: "I don't know if they have heard any rumors?" I always think there's something weird in it! ”
"Probably not, right?" When Jian Xubai heard this, he immediately thought of what Lu Qinghong had told him that when he was in Zhanchun Pavilion last year, Su Shaoge had entered Song Yixiao's temporary resting house at night - but Lu Qinghong personally watched outside to ensure that his housewife did not suffer; Second, although Jian Xubai didn't like Su Shaoge, he believed in his personality, and it was impossible for him to arrange the name of a married woman with his sister-so he would be silent for a long time, and said, "Now that the mountains are talking about Xue Pei and Miss Jiang, who has the time to mention us?" Besides, what do we have to talk about? ”
He and Song Yixiao are dignified and worshipped, they are a year younger since they got married, and his wife is pregnant, which is natural and gratifying, who can mutter about this?
Song Yi smiled: "That's right! What's more, I am not very familiar with the Su family sisters, and they are still polite when they meet, and they are not as cordial and casual as Sister Jiang and Sister-in-law Xie. It is said that the Su sisters will not be particularly interested in me - even if they heard some nonsense about my pregnancy, as for the obvious behavior, it is so obvious that I can't help but ask? ”
If it was just Su Shaomo doing this, she wouldn't be so worried. The main reason is that Su Shaoling has always been steady, this girl is not the kind of person who listens to the wind and rain, and likes to inquire about the shortcomings of the east and west families, even she has an obviously abnormal look today, how can Song Yixiao not think about it?
Jian Xubai listened to his wife's words, pinched his eyebrows and thought for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and blurted out: "Could it be?!" ”
