Chapter 612: Xue Yongqiang's Idea
At the beginning, everyone still scoffed at Zhang Ye's shamelessness and broken sleeves. Romance content is updated faster than rockets, do you dare not believe it? Naturally, everyone also sneered at the selfishness of Zhang Shu and his wife - people like them, for the sake of their sons and interests, actually want to implicate the good girls of other families in vain, and then ruin their lives. I have to say that this matter can be despised for all those who have become parents. Because of this, Zhang Shu did not go to court for half a month, but directly handed over a fake order to the emperor. And behind closed doors, there is a big escape mentality that is out of sight and not upset.
Zhang Shu's evasion did not calm down the matter. On the contrary, it spreads more and more prosperously, and spreads farther and farther.
Moreover, this matter was spread and spread, and it seemed to have changed its taste, and in the end, everyone began to disdain everything about the Zhang family, and began to appreciate Miss Xuefu's righteousness, as well as her fiancé's various maintenance of her.
It is rumored that the fiancé of Miss Xue Mansion also boasted in public that he was willing to work hard to gain fame for Miss Xue Mansion, and vowed not to accept concubines, and there would only be one couple for the rest of his life.
It is rumored that the young man who was only a few years old dared to make a promise to the parents of the Xue Mansion to marry the woman he liked after becoming famous.
It is rumored that Xue Yongqiang has given the most personal token to the young man, waiting for him to be shortlisted after the autumn, and then become the son-in-law of Xue Mansion.
It is rumored that the young man is a genius and never forgets it, and can be said to be the best among the rising stars......
Reportedly......
Because of this rumor, everyone became more curious about that young man, and almost everyone wanted to know who the young man who stood up to defend Miss Xue Fu so much and made such a heavy appointment.
In the end, someone with a heart told everyone that the young man was Duan Yu, the eldest son of the Duan Mansion.
At this moment, Duan Yu's name was once again spread in the capital, and for a while, no one could match the limelight.
You must know that in the upper class, the idea of a couple in this life is just an extravagant dream that the ladies of various provinces dare to think but dare not ask for. In addition, those noble ladies have to have children, take care of the short affairs of the parents, and suffer from the torture and suffering of the concubines, so many people can't find someone to talk to in this life. Therefore, in everyone's hearts, while envying this Miss Xue Fu, they couldn't help but look up to this Miss Xue Fu's fiancé.
And those boudoir women who were familiar with Xue Ninglan were even more curious, and they were even eager to know from Xue Ninglan's mouth why such an excellent Duanfu boy would be so protective of her.
However, to everyone's disappointment, both Duan Yu and Xue Ninglan almost stayed at home after this incident, or even closed their doors. No matter how many people wanted to go to Xue Mansion to ask Miss Xue Mansion, or take the opportunity to visit Duan Mansion, they were politely declined.
It has never been more beautiful to see flowers in the fog, and it has never been brighter to look at the moon in the sky. The silence of these two parties made those who did good things a little more unwilling and curious. As a result, this matter has also been rumored for a long time, and it seems that everyone wants to know what these two parties really think.
In response to these kinds of rumors, the methods adopted by the Xue Mansion and the Duan Mansion were completely different.
Duan Fu was silent and never mentioned this matter. And in the Xue Mansion, there was no one to respond. It's just that whenever Xue Yongqiang is praised in person, although he is modest, he can see the pride on his face.
In this way, after a few days, Xue Yongqiang began to pay attention to those school-age teenagers, and wanted to give Xue Ninglan an early promise.
On this day, Xue Yongqiang went down to the court and was about to leave, when he happened to hear the discussion of several officials.
One of them, Master Zhang, said: "To be honest, that Miss Xue Mansion is really not an ordinary person, if she doesn't already have a fiancé, she really wants to marry this legendary Miss Xue for the dog below." ”
Xue Yongqiang's footsteps suddenly stopped. He took a closer look at that Lord Zhang, it turned out to be Zhang Zifei in the clear stream, this Zhang Zifei, a family of three generations, at his age, was already a fourth-grade official in the dynasty, and he was deeply valued by the emperor. Thinking of this Zhang Zifei's son, he is also one of the famous talents among the teenagers in the capital, if he can ask for Ning Lan, wouldn't it make Xue Yongqiang overjoyed?
Xue Yongqiang was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to step forward to talk to that Master Zhang, but unexpectedly, Master Nie, who had been standing beside Lord Zhang, spoke: "This Miss Xue has a good reputation, and everyone wants to ask for it, but have you heard the gossip in the capital?" That Miss Xue family, she has long been famous, even if she doesn't, the Xue Mansion has always been high, and this Xue Mansion's concubine will not be my turn to ask for it. ”
When Mr. Zhang heard this, he couldn't help sighing, and then, after a few cold words, he left.
Xue Yongqiang's footsteps suddenly stopped, he looked at Zhang Zifei's distant figure, and there was a regretful expression, and the words he wanted to say were forcibly blocked in his chest. It was so jammed that he couldn't speak.
Although Xue Ninglan's heart was blocked, his heart of wanting to find a good husband for Xue Ninglan had not changed at all. On the way back home, Xue Yongqiang kept thinking about the words of that Lord Zhang in his heart, and was thinking about what way to make that Lord Zhang talk about the marriage contract again - if it is above the court, this opportunity can be said to be very rare, because Xue Yongqiang is not only not familiar with Zhang Zifei, but also has no way to talk about this matter, in other words, even if Xue Yongqiang and Zhang Zifei are familiar, it is impossible to mention this matter in person, Xue Yongqiang thought about it, and finally felt that it was most appropriate for Mrs. to appear to deal with this matter.
Xue Yongqiang has always been a person who does what he says. After he returned to the mansion, he didn't even change his clothes, and went straight to Mrs. Xue's room. Mrs. Xue was drinking tea in the house, and when she saw Xue Yongqiang breaking in, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but after a while, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile and said, "Husband is back?" ”
This Xue Yongqiang only needs to go back to the house on weekdays, either to the study, or to the new aunt's house, now, why did he come to her early in the morning? So, Mrs. Xue's heart was also surprised and happy.
Xue Yongqiang didn't want to go around the bend at all, he naturally didn't see Mrs. Xue's surprise, as soon as he entered the room, he split his head at Mrs. Xue and said, "Madam, tomorrow, see if you can make an appointment with Zhang Zifei's wife and son-in-law to come over to the mansion as guests." ”
Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Yongqiang's appearance, and said a little inexplicably: "What does the husband mean by this?" ”
Seeing that there was a moment of embarrassment on Xue Yongqiang's face, Mrs. Xue stepped forward to help Xue Yongqiang take off the court clothes on his body, and on the other hand, ordered his subordinates to serve tea, then sat aside, and said with a smile: "Husband, this Zhang Mansion and my Xue Mansion do not have too deep friendship, if you want to invite his wife to come over the mansion as a guest, it is not impossible, but there must be a reason for this, besides, master, you still have to let the concubine know the purpose of the master, if not, the other party is really here, how to deal with the concubine?" ”
Xue Yongqiang listened to Mrs. Xue's words and knew that he was in a hurry. He sat down with Mrs. Xue, and Mrs. Xue helped him change into a set of homely clothes, and then slowly drank a cup of tea with a moderate temperature, then he sighed softly and said to Mrs. Xue: "When I went down to court today, I heard that Zhang Zifei intended to accept Ning Lan as his daughter-in-law. Therefore, I would like to ask Mrs. Madame to invite Mrs. Zhang to inquire tactfully. ”
When Mrs. Xue heard this, she was taken aback and said, "What did the husband just say?" Lord Zhang's son-in-law wants to take Ning Lan as his wife? ”
Mrs. Xue has long known that this reputation is too great, it must not be a good thing, you see, it's only been a few days, and trouble is about to come to the door. It's just that this Zhang is not the other, this Zhang Zifei, Mrs. Xue also knows, not only knows, but also has a few faces, but is not familiar with it, now, in an instant, after listening to Xue Yongqiang's words, she was naturally surprised.
Xue Yongqiang looked at Mrs. Xue with a somewhat unhappy expression. He was stunned and said, "What, does Madam think that Ning Lan is not worthy of Zhang Zifei's son?" ”
