Chapter Seventy-Five: Failed to succeed

"I heard that the eldest princess of Zhaoxing came to the mansion to be a matchmaker today, but I don't know if she is still in the mansion at this time?"

If it is according to He Ping'an's past character, he must be the first to talk to Princess Zhao Changcheng, but at this moment, Princess Zhao Changcheng mentioned "I want to ask the emperor to take back his life", at this time, He Ping'an was so frightened that he didn't even dare to come out, where did he dare to talk more in front of Princess Zhao Changchang?

Princess Zhaochang is Shi Qi's future mother-in-law, and Shi Qi doesn't have much to say on this kind of issue, He Changan gritted his teeth and replied: " Today was originally the little girl's mother with the little girl, and the eldest princess of Zhaoning, Sister Yan, went to pray for blessings in the temple, but after lunch, the housekeeper drove to pick up, saying that there was a distinguished guest at home, and the mother took the little girl home first, and after a while, the second aunt took her cousin to visit, but the second aunt Xu had something to say to her mother and grandmother, and the little girl and her cousin felt that it seemed that it was not suitable to listen, so they came out first. ”

There was no accusation or transgression in the words, although this was said by He Changan, but Princess Zhaochang also felt that her future daughter-in-law was also a good person and had a clear mind.

The eldest princess of Zhaoning hurriedly said: "It's bad, big sister, I'm afraid that the second sister doesn't know that the emperor has just issued a holy edict, so she will mess up the mandarin duck spectrum, if it is really done, I am afraid that the saint will be furious." ”

At this time, the people in the hall also heard that there were two eldest princesses in the courtyard, and hurriedly sent He Jiaqing out to greet people, He Jiaqing was wearing a navy blue robe, and his expression was very calm, it seems that the so-called kiss in the hall has either not been mentioned yet, or it has not been negotiated, He Jiaqing's steps are not slow, and in the eyes of the eldest princess of Zhaoning, he is even more satisfied with the stability and generosity of this future son-in-law.

Liu Yanling glanced up at He Jiaqing, but looked at He Jiaqing's eyes in the air, and couldn't help but quickly lowered her head in shame, this scene happened to be seen by He Changan, He Changan decided to wait for when to get together with Sister Yan again, and make fun of his future sister-in-law.

He Jiaqing saw the two eldest princesses. He bowed in front of the two eldest princesses, and then bowed in front of Liu Yanling and Huang Shiyu: "Sister Liu is good, sister Huang is good." ”

Huang Shiyu greeted with a smile: "I know you, you are the elder brother of Sister Chang'an, can I call you Brother He?"

He Jiaqing nodded and said yes, and then looked at the two eldest princesses: "The two eldest princesses, grandmother and mother-in-law heard that the two eldest princesses arrived, and they missed the welcome, and asked the two eldest princesses to forgive me, but there were guests in the hall, and it was not easy to welcome them, so I asked He Jiaqing to come out to greet them, and I hope the two of you will not blame." ”

After the two princesses walked over, their hands stopped in front of He Ping'an, who wanted to go inside: "The three eldest princesses are only afraid that they will have important things to talk about with their grandmother and mother, and a few young ladies are afraid that it is inappropriate to go in, so it is better to let the housesister take a few people to take a little turn in the courtyard first." ”

He Ping'an was originally arrogant and slapped He Chang'an, but at this time, because of the words of Princess Zhaochang, even if the eldest princess was not here, she began to lack confidence, and avoided He Chang'an, so she said: "Usually at this time, I also want to learn the rules and etiquette in the house, today my mother has something to say to the eldest aunt at the eldest uncle's house, I'm afraid she can't take care of me, but I can't delay the study of rules and etiquette, so I will go back to the house first, and the sisters have a good time." ”

After that, he didn't wait for He Changan to say anything, he turned around and left, compared to the arrogance and arrogance when he got up, He Ping'an's back now almost ran away.

It wasn't until He Ping'an led his maid out of the door that Shi Qi breathed a long sigh of relief: "You can be regarded as sending this great bodhisattva away, cousin Chang'an, your face, it's okay, right?"

Chang An smiled: "It's nothing, at least let her slap her, but it also made her show the prototype." I think she is strange today, and I don't know why, she has been holding that gentle and virtuous appearance, but she can't be provoked at all, she can't hide it and insists on hiding it, she doesn't feel tired, I feel tired for her. As for the face, I turned around and asked Biluo to boil two eggs for me and rub it, and it would be fine. ”

But with a smile, he touched both cheeks again, and Chang'an, who was in pain, "hissed", He Ping'an's hand was really heavy.

Liu Yanling walked over and grabbed He Chang'an's hand: "Chang'an, I'm really sorry for you, if it weren't for me and ...... You can't go toe-to-toe with He Ping'an. To be honest, He Ping'an and I are not a few months apart in age, and we can be regarded as cousins, but since I was a child, I have never seen her docile to anyone, and my mother has told me to be far away from her since I was a child, and I never provoke her, I just don't want to ...... In the end, I was the one who caused you. ”

Chang'an held Liu Yanling's hand tightly with one hand, and gently rubbed his face with the other: "Xiao Yan'er, what are you talking about, even if it is not you, our family will not casually allow an outsider to come to the door to beak my brother's marriage, if my brother's marriage can be casually beaked, when it is my turn in the future, won't I have to find a family to marry casually? Besides, my brother is the eldest son, and his wife is the eldest sister-in-law, so she must be able to support this family, that Yu's family, what kind of niece is her?" It's just the granddaughter of a six-rank official, and she came to join in the fun like this, how much she hates to marry. ”

A maid-like girl standing beside Liu Yanling spoke: "Sure enough, it's her." ”

He Changan looked at the girl, her round little face, but her eyes were very bright, and when she said, "Sure enough, it's her", there was a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth, which made her whole person look more vivid, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like a maid, so she asked Liu Yanling: "Little Yan'er, this is ......"

Without waiting for Liu Yanling to answer, the girl with a round face and big eyes said crisply: "Sister He, my name is Zhu Yan, Sister Yanling must have told you about me." ”

He Changan looked at this Zhu Yan carefully, there was really an unwilling aura in his eyes, but he was wearing an extremely ordinary plain soft satin jacket, the clothes were slightly shorter, and the color was still a little off。

Zhu Yan saw He Changan staring at his clothes, not only did he not blush, but said freely: "I slipped out secretly today." Last time in Sui'an Bo Mansion, I inadvertently took everyone to break through the pickled things of our wife, our wife now thinks I'm a broom star, and she looks at me strictly on weekdays, but today she always goes out by herself, I feel that she must be thinking about what to use to block the eldest sister and the eldest princess, so she secretly followed out today. ”

What a cool girl!

Shi Qi didn't know why, and he didn't hear Liu Yanling talk about what happened before, but he heard that Zhu Yan's surname was Zhu, so he asked: "Your mother is the same Mrs. Zhu who came to propose marriage?" Are you the girl that Mrs. Zhu wants to give to Cousin Yan? But it looks a little small......

Zhu Yan laughed: "She can also be called my mother? My biological mother has passed away a long time ago, as for my mother-in-law, I think that only one mother-in-law in the Zhu family is my father's original wife, my eldest sister's biological mother, the Zhou family who died early, she can be called our wife at best." As for her kiss, it has always been a weasel to give New Year's greetings to chickens, and if she made a false promise to others, I would rather twist my hair and be a sister-in-law than marry honestly. ”

This is said to be a bit decisive, thinking that the grievances between Zhu Yan and the Yu family are not at all.

After saying that with a tone that was not polite at all, he looked at the three girls who were older than himself staring straight at him, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said in his mouth: "Life is precious, and love is more expensive." If it is free, both can be thrown. ”

He Changan exclaimed: "The younger sister of the Zhu family is really a heroine among women, at such a young age, she already has the momentum of not letting women shave her eyebrows, Chang'an admires." ”

Zhu Yan hugged her fists like a boy: "If Sister He doesn't dislike her sister's humble background, she will call me Xiao Jiu'er like Sister Yanling, and I will do Jiu'er at home." Sister He family can rest assured for the time being, I found that the lady of my family is not right, just follow her today, see her transferred into your mansion, and secretly ran to the eldest sister's house, at that time it was only suspicious, but my eldest sister said that the princess took Sister Yanling to Qining Temple early in the morning, I was so anxious in my heart, I was more sure that she was thinking about what to deal with the princess and Sister Yanling's cat, but as soon as noon passed, I saw the princess with my sister back, and under the confirmation of the two phases, it was even more certain that she came to Gongchangbo's Mansion to propose marriage, but I was afraid that her wishful thinking this time was empty。 ”

He Changan and Shi Qi said in unison: "Empty?"

Zhu Yan's face was full of pride: "But isn't it, the emperor just issued a holy decree at noon today, to choose a son-in-law for the eldest princess, the second princess and the third princess, and the men over ten years old in the second-rank and above officials who have not yet made a formal decision are all among the candidates, and they are not allowed to decide on their own before the end of the selection of sons-in-law." There is also this draft, the number of girls participating in the draft has increased from the original girls in the families of third-grade officials to the girls in the families of sixth-grade officials, but the big election and small elections have been changed, and the niece of my wife, who is pinched in the palm of her hand all day long, will she also participate in the draft?"

He Changan glanced at Liu Yanling, the princess must not decide on a marriage before choosing a son-in-law, which means that before the princess chooses a son-in-law, the He family cannot marry the Liu family?

Suddenly remembered the eldest princess I had seen in the palace, I wonder how she is now?
