Because of this, Murong Chu did not rush to propose the wedding to his father, but he calculated that his father was more anxious than him.

He arched his hand towards the king of Beining, and his thin lips opened slightly: "The child is all up to the father." ”

Murong Chu's attitude was very respectful, and the king of Beining said in a deep voice: "Since Chu'er is so obedient, then it's okay for my father to be the master of your family?" ”

"The son's heart has long been known to the father, why do you tease the son like this?" Murong Chu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"You know that you are only superficially obedient, where will you really let your father make decisions for you. The orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker are nothing when they come to you. The king of Beining snorted coldly, but there was no reproach between his eyebrows.

"My father's words are wrong, and my son and Miss Mo are following their parents' orders." Murong Chu solemnly took out half of the jade plaque from his arms and presented it to the king of Beining with both hands, "Father, have you ever remembered this jade plaque?" ”

The King of Beining looked sluggish, took the jade plate in his hand, and said in a trembling voice for a long time: "It turns out that your mother really gave it to you, no wonder I haven't found it after looking for a long time." ”

"It was indeed the mother who handed over this half of the jade plaque to her son when she was in the army. Does Father know where the other half is? Murong Chu asked softly.

The King of Beining frowned: "Didn't your mother give it to you?" ”

Murong Chu shook his head: "Mother only gave me this half, and the other half is in Jinxi's hands." When I first met her, it was with that half of the jade plaque that I was able to see through her identity. I think maybe this is the spirit of my mother in heaven, who wants us to meet. ”

"When my mother gave me the jade plaque, she said that when I returned from my success, she would make decisions with me and ask to marry the daughter of the Mo family. It's just that my mother didn't wait for that day. ”

mentioned his mother, Murong Chu was a little moved, and the king of Beining had tears in the corners of his eyes, he and Princess Jiang had a deep relationship back then, if it weren't for later......

"Alas......" King of Bac Ninh sighed, "back then, your mother had a deep relationship with Mrs. Mo, and she also loved the little girl of the Mo family very much. ”

Murong Chu's face sank slightly: "Father, my son was only a teenager back then, and that Jinxi was just a child. My mother's situation at that time was not satisfactory, and I think my mother kept it a secret to avoid extraneous branches. ”

Although Murong Chu's words were subtle, this sentence "the situation is not satisfactory" pierced the heart of the king of Bac Ninh like a thorn.

Wasn't this the case back then, although Jiang Chunxue was the princess of Bac Ninh, she did not have a strong maternal support behind her, and she was not a scheming woman, even if she was the head of the palace, she was also constrained everywhere.

During that time, the king of Bac Ninh was not often in the mansion, and he ignored the affairs of the mansion, Jiang Chunxue had a dislike for him, and he would tell him everything on his mind.

"Since your mother had this intention, follow her wishes." The King of Beining waved his hand, as if he wanted to wave away the depression in his heart, "Tomorrow, let the Lu family go and inform Mrs. Mo first and settle the matter as soon as possible." ”

"Father, not." Murong Chu hurriedly stopped, "This matter must not be known to others in advance, otherwise my marriage with Jinxi may have twists and turns, and my father only needs to find a suitable matchmaker to ask for marriage." ”

The king of Beining naturally knew that Murong Chu was worried that the Lu family would make a stumbling block, but according to the custom of the Great Zhou, the man's mother had to inform the woman's mother before proposing, and the Mo family now has no elders, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, so this matter naturally fell on Mrs. Mo Jinhua.

Now Murong Chu asked him to directly ask a matchmaker to come to the door to ask for marriage, which is really a bit rude.

Murong Chu saw that the King of Beining hesitated, and said slowly: "Father, when my mother was alive, she already had a verbal appointment with Mrs. Mo, and she had a jade plate to rely on, isn't it considered to have been informed?" In today's situation, the father also knows that everything must be done quickly, so as not to delay the marriage. ”

The corners of the king of Beining's mouth twitched when he heard this, how anxious his son is, he has already thought about the marriage.

"Well, as long as you don't feel wronged by the little girl of the Mo family, everything is as you wish. It's just that this matchmaker also needs to think about who is suitable. ”

"Father, Song Baiwu, a scholar of Hanlin Academy, is a proud protégé of his grandfather, and Mo Jinhua worshiped his disciple when he took the exam, and his son thinks that this person is the most suitable candidate for matchmaking." Murong Chu said indifferently.

The corners of King Beining's mouth twitched again, this kid had already planned it, and it seemed that he was just helping him go through the motions, although this saved him from worrying, but there was always a feeling of being pitted.

However, what the son said is indeed good, Song Baiwu is knowledgeable, and he is also upright, and he is indeed a powerful figure in the court, but this person is only devoted to learning and never participates in court politics.

Let him be the big matchmaker, that is, he is decent and will not be involved in the dispute between the party and the henchmen, and he has some connections with both families, so he is indeed the best candidate.

However, due to Jiang Chunxue's sudden death, Song Baiwu pointed at the nose of the King of Beining in front of the spirit and scolded him, and the two have not interacted with each other since then.

Murong Chu had also heard about the events of that year, and when he saw that the King of Beining had a sad face, he continued: "Although my father can rest assured, as long as it is said to be his son's marriage, Song Baiwu will definitely not make it difficult, and in addition, his son has a painting in his hand, and his father will take it and hand it over to him, so don't worry about other things." ”

When the king of Beining heard Murong Chu say this, he completely understood, it turned out that his son had already dug the pit and was waiting for his father to jump in.

"And then?" The king of Bac Ninh squinted at his son, waiting to hear his next plan.

The corners of Murong Chu's lips lifted lightly: "Then you can complete the six rites according to the custom." ”

"When is the wedding due?" King Bac Ninh continued to ask.

"The child listens to his father." The corners of Murong Chu's lips couldn't help but deepen the arc.

In the impression of the king of Bac Ninh, his son had not smiled at him like this for a long time, so long that he almost forgot what his son looked like when he smiled.

This smile that resembled Jiang Chunxue made the corners of his lips involuntarily rise: "What else is there to hide from my father, tell me what you think, my father will do what you want." ”

This time, Murong Chu was really happy in his heart, the iceberg face of the past had completely melted, he got up and bowed deeply to the King of Beining and said: "Father, my son has indeed been checked before, and there are three best days to marry this year, October 20, November 18 and December 6. October and November were a bit too rushed, and the sixth day of December was the best day. After that, we will have to wait until April of the following year. ”

Murong paused slightly, and then asked, "I don't know what my father thinks?" ”
