Chapter 87: Contrast

It's one thing for her to be unhappy to marry, but it's unbearable to be belittled like this. Mingzhu couldn't bear it anymore and roared: "Am I so bad in your eyes? ”

Fu Mingzheng said with a smile: "Otherwise? Do you think you're amazing? He pours out to you, and you won't marry? ”

Mingzhu pouted angrily, wanting to retort: No, Yu Wenchu should have wanted to marry her a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much effort to plot against her. But the words went around in many circles, and they never came out. Yu Wenyou hated her so much, but he married her because of interests, of course Yu Wenchu can also marry her because of interests, and marrying her and not marrying her are two completely different things. Thinking of this, Mingzhu couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, she probably wouldn't meet the person she promised in her life and didn't marry her.

Fu Mingzheng saw that she was angry at first, and then gloomy, and felt a little unbearable, but thinking that her family affairs were destined to be simple, if she had the innocence and loneliness she had when she treated Yu Wenyou before, she was afraid that she would hit her head and bleed in the future, so she hardened her heart again: "It's enough to do stupid things once or twice, and then do it a third or fourth time, and you can drown yourself with a basin." Okay, I'm leaving, you can stay at home with peace of mind, you are now a figure on the cusp, don't go out to stir up trouble. ”

Mingzhu saw that he was not accommodating, so he had to find another way, but she was notorious, and the whole family knew that she was a troublemaker, so they didn't let her go. She had no choice but to pretend to be a reformist, virtuous and virtuous person, so that she could meet guests by Cui's side and listen to the situation outside by the way.

Mrs. Dali Siqing, who was talkative and tongue-in-cheek, came to visit the door, and talked about the situation of the Wusun Mission with her eyebrows fluttering: "Those Wusun people look very different from us, with high noses, deep eyes, curly hair, extremely tall and strong, and they have taken fur and precious stones and horses, and want to exchange them for our tea, grain, silk and porcelain. I still want to marry a princess and go back to be a wife......" suddenly lowered his voice, leaned into Cui's ear and whispered: "Sister should listen to the prime minister, right?" The king of Wusun is already an old man of fifty or sixty years old, with a group of children, and Wusun is a wild land, living in a felt tent, and drinking blood, who is impatient to go! This time, the concubines and princesses in the palace are about to cry, and they don't know whose heads they will fall on? ”

Cui Shi disagreed: "The marriage between the two countries is a national event, and the saint will decide, and the princesses are deeply favored by the emperor, no matter who is selected, it is a supreme honor." "I don't show any words.

Who doesn't know that the emperor is too young to take care of things, isn't it all the Empress Dowager and Fu Xiang who have the final say? Otherwise, Empress Dowager Min will also intervene to figure it out, but it depends on which side is more powerful. Mrs. Dali Siqing not only didn't inquire about the inside information, but also made a fuss, smiled, looked for the bottom of the stairs, grabbed Mingzhu's hand and said: "Well, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I actually look a little better." Sister, it's not that I praise this child, this child is really bigger and better-looking, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is beautiful and fragrant, and they all say that she looks like the queen mother of the year......"

Cui said: "Niece Aunt Xiao, there are often things. ”

Mingzhu lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, smiled shyly, and didn't say a word. Mrs. Dali Siqing couldn't help but wonder when she saw her appearance, and felt that the cat who really ate meat suddenly became a vegetarian white rabbit, so she smiled and said: "Look at this gentle and dignified appearance, it is actually on par with the second girl of the Changxing Hou family." ”

Mingzhu couldn't help choking, could it be that she couldn't escape the fate of being compared with Jiang Shanshan openly and secretly for two lifetimes? I was unhappy, but I felt a little guilty because of what happened to Yu Wenchu before, so I smiled and said: "Second Sister Jiang is gentle and dignified, I can't do it." ”

"Look, so modest." Mrs. Dali Siqing smiled very exaggeratedly, and brought up the gossip about Jiang Shanshan and Yu Wenchu: "In terms of age, Miss Jiang Er is a few years older than Mingzhu, and Mrs. Changxing Hou wishes that she would get married quickly, but unfortunately there is a master who gave a hexagram to His Royal Highness the King of England, saying that he is not good at early marriage, otherwise he will lose his wife and children, which will drag on year after year." ”

And this kind of thing? Mingzhu was surprised, and at the same time worried that Mrs. Dali Siqing suddenly mentioned this, didn't she receive some rumors? looked at Cui's, Cui's thoughts were similar to hers, but his face was not obvious at all, and he said lightly: "There is such a thing, why is this family matter delayed." ”

Mrs. Dali Siqing was interested: "I don't know anything outside, and I only heard about it from Mrs. Changxinghou's mother-in-law by accident." ”

Cui Shi saw that she didn't look like she knew the inside story, so she was relieved: "In this way, Miss Jiang Er can be regarded as being dragged along." ”

Mrs. Dali Siqing smiled: "Isn't it? To say that His Royal Highness is really a humble gentleman, he has proposed several times that he is afraid of dragging down the woman, otherwise the marriage will be abandoned, but Changxinghou and Jiang Er Girl are trustworthy and honest ...... temperament, they all say that marriage is different child's play, marrying a chicken with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog, this is everyone's life" Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that the pearl in front of me was a stubborn woman who regarded marriage as a child's play, so I was so shocked that I quickly covered my mouth and said with a smile: "If you want me to say, his family also likes His Royal Highness the noble, gentle, down-to-earth and capable lintel, so he is willing to wait." If you had changed to someone who was stubborn and of bad character, you would have tried every means to stop doing it. ”

Cui Shi was displeased in his heart and "snorted" from his nostrils. Mingzhu laughed, okay, with Jiang Shanshan, she is the one who is stubborn, bad, untrustworthy, and disrespectful to women. Oh, it's really more popular than people, if Jiang Shanshan is the normative model of this noble girl in Beijing, then she is the extreme that she must not learn.

Mrs. Dali Siqing said the wrong thing, and it was not good to sit down again, so she found an excuse to leave, and before leaving, she flattered and said: "The king of Kundu of Wusun brought his daughter to the envoy, and I heard that the queen mother intends to set up a banquet to entertain the lord of Wusun, and the unmarried daughter of the clan and the girl of the official family above the fourth grade will attend. ”

Mingzhu remembered this incident, but she was already married at that time, so she was naturally not listed. This time, she must attend, unless Empress Dowager Min resents her and deliberately loses the face of the Fu family and does not allow her to go. But thinking about it, Empress Dowager Min is stingy and face-loving, and it is estimated that she will not be allowed to go, but will probably give her no face at the banquet.

Seeing the excitement on her face, Cui Shi sneered: "Don't dream, I won't allow you to go out." ”
