Chapter 109: Secret Discussion (II)
.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the reborn Gaomen pet daughter-in-law!
Huang's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and he tried his best to lower his voice and said, "At that time, I brought a Mother Zheng with me, and I was afraid that you would miss it when you arrived in Liuhua Hall, so I left Mother Zheng to wait outside to welcome you." Only the little maid from the Eldest Princess's Mansion took me to the official room. When I thought of it, Mother Zheng broke away from the little maid and pulled me to talk......"
Huang said this for a moment, took a deep look at Yuan Xiaoyang, who was listening quietly, and his eyes became more and more unconcealable satisfaction and self-satisfaction, and he continued to whisper, "It was said that it was to listen to the gossip of the two housekeepers in the Liuhua Hall on an errand together, and that it was the matter of the eldest prince of Chengyang who wanted to choose a son-in-law for Miss Chen Qi, but it was the drunkard's intention not to drink!" Although the two housekeepers didn't know the reason, there were two points that were clearly understood, one was to be ten years older than Miss Chen Qi, and the other was to conform to the eight characters calculated by the eldest princess of Chengyang.
Mother Zheng secretly inquired, the two housekeepers were serving in the courtyard of the eldest princess of Chengyang, and they were temporarily transferred to Liuhua Hall on an errand because of the busy people today. The two of them were gossiping in the ear room next to the hall, and it happened that Zheng's mother, who was waiting at the base of the wall, listened to it and hurriedly came to tell me, this thing can't be wrong eight or nine times out of ten!
My son, when you were born, your mother asked a Taoist priest to give you a review of the eight characters, saying that you are bitter first and then sweet or not. Look at all these things, it's not like God is helping you! You are ten years older than Miss Chen Qi, as long as your mother finds a way to hand the eight characters to the eldest princess of Chengyang......"
Although the Huang family planned the marriage of the second room for Yuan Xiaoyang for the benefit of the big house in the Li family of Qihe, the former daughter-in-law was from the Jiangmen family, and the family identity alone was also satisfactory to her.
It's just that the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, if you can really marry the beloved daughter of the eldest princess of Chengyang, what if you can't hold your grandson right away at a young age, Huang's originally silent heart gradually became alive with his words.
No matter how capable the Qihe Li clan is, it is only a prominent clan in the northeast border pass, where can it be compared with the Chengyang Eldest Princess's Mansion?
Looking at Huang's bright glowing eyes, Yuan Xiaoyang couldn't help frowning, not only did he not have the joy that Huang expected when he heard this, but he groaned and persuaded, "Mother, where is the hearsay done accurately." Even if you do it accurately, it's not something you can do if you want to......"
Huang felt that his son had been too cautious since he entered Beijing, so he couldn't help but put on a straight face and said dissatisfied, "You don't understand the twists and turns in this. In addition to the clan relatives who came to the eldest princess's mansion for the banquet today, they were all guests invited from the second and fifth rooms of the Xinguo Mansion, and most of them were subordinates of the second and fifth masters of the second room and the fifth master of the fifth room, or colleagues and classmates of several sons.
The family background and official positions are all under the Xinguo Mansion, and since the eldest princess of Chengyang chose to release her intention to choose a son-in-law at this time, it can be seen that she does not care about the man's family background. Because of the many generals in our northeast border, most of them worship the Guandi Temple, but Jingzhong believes in Taoism, which shows that the eldest princess of Chengyang also believes in it, otherwise the conditions for the eight-character match will not be set first.
From these two points, as long as your age is in line with the will of the eldest princess of Chengyang, even if our Yuan family has not changed the court now, it may not be possible to do this family business......"
Yuan Xiaoyang listened to Huang's chatter, and couldn't help but try to recall Chen Jinyu's appearance in his mind.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, although he followed the Huang family to escort Chen Jinyu back to the first floor of the world, he only remembered that Chen Jinyu was a lively and refreshing character, and the rest had no impression, and he couldn't even remember what she looked like.
I only remember that it was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, and the impression I gave him was not even as deep as Li Yingge, who was only eight or nine years old.
Yuan Xiaoyang quickly gathered his thoughts and had to interrupt Huang's words, "Mother, the matter of Miss Zhang's family has not been judged yet, so don't worry about what you shouldn't worry about." The eldest princess of Chengyang is willing to introduce Master Qu for me, which is already an unexpected joy, and the deal we can deal with the eldest princess of Chengyang will end here.
Moreover...... How old is Miss Chen Qi, if you think about it carefully, these two conditions that Zheng's mother heard are indeed weird. Who will choose a husband with such a big age difference for their daughter, either there is something unknown in the daughter's family, or there is another hidden story behind it, we are new to it, or don't rush to get involved in these things. ”
People who really value the happiness of their daughter's family usually think about their daughter's future and will not find a son-in-law who is too "old", otherwise in the future, the old husband and young son, the inner house will be difficult to say that it will be another bloody storm.
It's not that the Huang family doesn't understand this truth, but they are unwilling to let go of the good opportunity given by God.
Yuan Xiaoyang knew the Huang family's temperament very well, and said in a slow tone, "Mother, karma is determined, if I really deserve the blessing, it will be mine." We've already calculated once in our marriage, and this second time we've ...... I don't want to bother with calculations anymore. ”
When Huang Shi heard this, his heart immediately softened, and he said distressed and proud, "What my son said is that my mother listens to you." You can rest assured, with your talents, you will not lose to the young master of any family in Beijing. There is no Miss Chen Qi, and there are other daughters of good families to choose from us. Mother and wait, everyone listens to you. ”
Yuan Xiaoyang smiled helplessly, and suddenly turned his mouth and asked, "I remember that the seventh cousin in the family is already nine years old?" ”
"You, it's time to change this problem of not recognizing people. Where did you get your seventh cousin, that's your sixth cousin. Huang was angry and funny, and nodded Yuan Xiaoyang's forehead angrily, "It's nine years old." Why did you suddenly ask about her? ”
Huang's heart was strange, Yuan Xiaoyang never cared about irrelevant people, and the cousins in the family couldn't recognize it, so how could he suddenly ask the youngest cousin.
Yuan Xiaoyang half-closed his eyes and said softly, "I just think that at the same age, Miss Li Er is much more stable and shrewd than her cousin." ”
Huang Shi was stunned and said, "How do you say this, have you seen that Li Yingge?" ”
Yuan Xiaoyang was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't want the Huang family to know that he had just seen Li Yingge in private, so he only said casually, "It's just that I heard Mother Zheng relay what she said to you, and I felt it for a while." ”
"What kind of stability is she, at most she is a small ghost, and she doesn't know how the Xie family raised her daughter, so open-mouthed." Huang wanted to say that a stable former daughter-in-law is really stable, but when the words came to his lips and swallowed again, he didn't want to mention the dead former daughter-in-law again, so he only frowned and said, "You also told your father that if you might want to walk around with Li Ge's old mansion, now looking at their mother and daughter's style, it is obvious that we are not welcome......"
Yuan Xiaoyang saw that the Huang family didn't like Li Yingge, so he didn't ask deeply, but said, "The Li Mansion is headed by Li Ge Lao, what do you care about them." If the souvenirs we bring are ready, you can hand over the gift list to Dad, and I will go with my father to visit Li Ge Lao in a few days. ”
Although Huang is a worrying person, he listens to his husband and son about all these external matters, and he doesn't say much when he hears it, but only takes out the gift list he has prepared to discuss with his son.
Not long after the Yuan family's carriage left, the spring wine banquet in the eldest princess's mansion was also coming to an end.
The mother beside the eldest princess of Chengyang personally sent the Xie family out of the house, while Chen Jinyu pulled Li Yingge to walk behind.
"I wanted to talk to you well, but I didn't expect to be disturbed by my cousins." Chen Jinyu reluctantly held Li Yingge, and after complaining about the boredom in the Guogong Mansion, she talked about what happened by the Taolin waterhole just now, "The two koi fish you like, I will have someone fill the water tank for you when I turn around."
When the peach blossoms in the peach forest bloom, I will pick some petals and give them to you, and don't forget to give me a few boxes of balm you have made. I want to take advantage of my mother's busy 'choosing a son-in-law' for me and don't have time to take care of me, so I have to mess with my pharmacy, I'm afraid I won't have time to play with you for a while. But I'll write to you, and you're not allowed to leave me. ”
Li Yingge didn't mention the matter of seeing Yuan Xiaoyang in the pavilion before, Chen Jinyu didn't know, listening to Chen Jinyu's cheerful tone at this moment, Li Yingge couldn't help laughing, and said politely, "You give me two koi, and I turn my head and ask for balm, I really don't suffer a loss, I knew it was a loss-making business, I didn't want the koi you forcibly sent." ”
Chen Jinyu wrinkled her nose and grinned.
Li Yingge looked at her carefree appearance, and her mood couldn't help but brighten, and she followed Xie Shi back to her house in the car, and only picked out some interesting things and gossip about Chen Jinyu during the banquet, and when she returned to the East Cross Courtyard, the smile on her face gradually converged.
Mother Xie only thought that she was tired after going out to socialize for a day, and Chang Fu and Chang Yuan served to freshen up, and heard Li Yingge say that she was going to the east wing to practice martial arts, so she took someone to retreat first.
After Li Yingge warmed up with a set of fists and kicks of the Evergreen Sect, he sat down by the window and took out the martial arts books given by Chen Jinyu.
She just held and read the small half of the book, and then listened to the door of the wing room open and close, and Changqing, who had been out for a day, raised her feet and entered the door.
Li Yingge closed the book, looked at Chang Qing who was smiling, and hooked his lips and said, "Did you get what I wanted?" ”
"The little official in charge of the fortifications in Beijing has dealt with Xiaofu Quan'er before, and he is also familiar with me, so he sold his favor and got a rubbing book for me." Chang Qing stepped forward with a smile, took out a stack of paper notes and handed it to Li Yingge, explaining, "This is the layout of Yuan's house in the south of the city. The layout drawings of the inner courtyard you want are here, saying that the Yuan family bought the previous drawings three years ago, and I don't know if they have been changed, but the large courtyard should not change. ”
Li Yingge took out the two drawings of the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and asked with his eyebrows, "You visited the main courtyard where the Huang family lived before, and Yuan Xiaoyang's residence in the outer courtyard, do you remember?" ”
Chang Qing probed over, looked at it carefully, and stretched out his hand to point out two places, "This is the main courtyard where Master Yuan and Mrs. Yuan live, right in the middle of the central axis." This is Yuan Gongzi's residence in the outer courtyard, just behind Master Yuan's outer study, very close to the inner courtyard, only separated by a flower wall. ”
Li Yingge pointed to the small courtyard on the other end of the flower wall, "What is this used for?" ”
Chang Qing frowned and thought for a moment before hesitating, "When I touched in, there were still very few people in the Yuan family, and many courtyards were vacant. Judging from the location, the courtyard you are referring to is either the foothold of the people under the second gate for night watch, or the kitchen of the inner courtyard. ”
Li Yingge nodded slowly, and explained, "I have to work hard for you tonight, and when the lights are turned off everywhere, you can visit Yuan's house again and find out what this courtyard is for now." ”
