Chapter X

Under the leadership of Mrs. Wang, the daughters of the Sheng family came to the second gate to greet the Duchess of the Kingdom.

Soon, the Duchess of Guo came over under the guidance of the servants of the Sheng family.

Everyone in the Sheng family saw a lady with an elegant temperament and walked towards them with a smile.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly stepped forward and said politely: "Oh, the Duchess can come today, it really makes my family shine." I'll just say how the magpies can't stop barking this morning! ”

Minglan who was standing in the crowd heard her mother-in-law's words, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

I complained in my heart, 'Isn't this a new word?' Magpies are busy. ’

I thought about it in my heart, but I didn't dare to show a little on my face, and stood behind everyone with an impeccable smile.

Minglan clearly knew the intention of the Duchess today, so what she had to do now was to stay honest and not stand out at all.

Otherwise, if she was Reuters at this time, and the Duchess said her intentions later, it is estimated that Mrs. Wang would want to tear herself apart.

Although, even if she is low-key, Mrs. Wang must be uncomfortable, but Minglan can't care about that much at this time.

。。。。。。

The Duchess listened to Mrs. Wang's words, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wang said that she was laughing, and I hope you don't blame me for coming uninvited!" ”

"Why, Madame, but we can't look forward to it, I hope you will come more."

The two sides laughed and came to the main hall where the Sheng family was entertaining.

At this time, the old lady of the Sheng family was already waiting at the entrance of the main hall.

The people of the Guogong Mansion saw the old lady of the Gu family from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Ouch, the old lady who is still working welcomes me personally, I'm so embarrassed!"

Originally, the Duchess and the old lady of the Sheng family could basically be regarded as members of the same generation, but they were younger, and they were not much different.

However, today is for his son to marry someone else's granddaughter, so he has to take the initiative to lower the backup.

Old Madam Sheng listened to the words of the Duchess and was a little puzzled.

She had crossed paths with the Duchess of Guo in the past.

When I was a child, I lived in the palace and had a little contact with the Duchess of China.

They have always been equal to each other, and today listening to the words of the Duchess of the Kingdom, there are some meanings of claiming to be juniors!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Sheng smiled at the Duchess of the Kingdom and glanced at Minglan and Rulan without a trace.

She had some guesses in her heart, some time ago, the girl of the Guogong Mansion suddenly invited the daughters of the Sheng family to participate in the flower viewing party.

At that time, she didn't think much about it, but today, the Duchess suddenly came to visit, and she regarded herself as a junior, so she had to think about it more.

glanced at the two granddaughters, Rulan was still like that, naΓ―ve, it was probably not her, and looking at Wang's appearance, it didn't seem like she knew the truth.

Looking at Minglan again, on weekdays, although Ming'er pretends to be honest and steady, she still shows her cunning appearance from time to time.

However, today is completely different, that expression, that demeanor, is completely a model of a standard famous lady.

Seeing this, the old lady knew it in her heart, at this time, it was mostly related to Minglan , and Minglan herself also knew it.

While talking and laughing, everyone entered the main hall and took their seats.

Duchess Guo looked at the three daughters of the Sheng family who were sitting in her hands, and her eyes couldn't hide her appreciation.

The eldest daughter, Sheng Hualan, has been married for many years, and has many virtuous names in Beijing, dignified and atmospheric.

The fifth girl Sheng Rulan, innocent and cute, very cute and cute, is estimated to be very favored at home, although she is sitting there honestly at this time, but she can't hide her arrogant little appearance, which is very interesting.

Then looked at Sheng Minglan, who was sitting in the farthest place, the girl that this son was thinking about.

The Duchess of the Kingdom, who has read countless people, also has to say that she is really good-looking.

Although she has seen a lot of beauties, but it is rare to see such a vivid beauty, at this time, the sixth girl of the Sheng family sat there demurely, looking like a lady, but the eyes of the Duchess were poisonous, and she easily noticed Sheng Minglan's cleverness that she carefully hidden.

The Duchess of Guo is different from the current housewife, otherwise she would not be able to raise a daughter like Zhang Guifen.

"Old lady, look at these girls in your family, all of them are Zhong Lingyuxiu, it's really enviable!"

Mrs. Sheng said humbly: "The Duchess of the Kingdom has praised it falsely, and these children can only say that they have seen the past, and they are far worse than your daughter." ”

"Old lady, don't say that, you see, the eldest granddaughter of your family has a reputation in Beijing that is obvious to all, that is, filial piety to her in-laws, and she can manage the family affairs and take care of the house in an orderly manner!"

Hua Lan, who was boasting, quickly stood up and saluted the Duchess of Guo to express her gratitude.

I saw that the Duchess looked at Rulan again, and then said to Mrs. Wang: "Mrs. Wang, I wonder if these five girls in your family have been married to others?" ”

Mrs. Wang is a straightforward and fast-talking, and she has been praised by the Duchess for a long time, and she has long been dizzy.

At this time, when I heard the words of the Duchess of the Kingdom, I didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and said directly: "My daughter, my mother, has taken a fancy to me and wants to tell my brother's sister-in-law." ”

When everyone in the Sheng family heard the words of Mrs. Wang, they all sighed in their hearts.

This lady Wang is really open-mouthed, this matter has not yet settled, and it has been hyped out, if it doesn't happen later, Rulan will not be a person.

But the words have already been spoken, and it is useless to think about anything, hoping that the Duchess is not such a talkative person, so let's talk about this matter.

Listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Mrs. Guo's eyes lit up: "Oh, that's not bad, the Wang family is also a famous family, and it is a mother's family, this family affair is really good." ”

Mrs. Wang listened to the affirmation of the Duchess and became even happier.

Mrs. Sheng looked at Wang's appearance, and was very dissatisfied in her heart, this daughter-in-law is good at everything, but her brain is not good, in the words that Minglan once said, she is 'brain-dead'! This is a very apt description, I have a brain disability.

Mrs. Sheng knew that the following words of the Duchess were the point.

Sure enough, I heard the Duchess of Guo say with a smile: "Then I don't know, the youngest daughter of the family has promised others?" ”

Wang was about to answer, but Mrs. Sheng hurriedly stopped her.

This time, the old lady of the Sheng family didn't dare to let the Wang family talk nonsense: "My family is still young, don't worry!" ”

Wang listened to his mother-in-law's words and was stunned, didn't he talk to the He family well? Why aren't you in a hurry?

When the Duchess heard this, she continued to smile and asked, "I don't know how old the six girls of the Sheng family are this year?" ”

Sheng Minglan heard the inquiry, and quickly stood up and returned: "Back to Mrs., it's sixteen this year!" ”

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she turned back to Mrs. Sheng and said with a smile: "Sixteen years old, not young, I already gave birth to the eldest of my family when I was sixteen years old!" ”

"It seems that the six girls of the Sheng family have not yet discussed marriage!"

"Then I don't know, can my Erlang match the sixth girl?"

Ooh!

Except for Minglan and the old lady of the Sheng family, they didn't expect that the Duchess would say this so bluntly, and everyone was not frightened.

The old lady of the Sheng family had another guess in her heart, and now that she listened to the words of the Duchess of Guo, she just put the guess into practice.

As for Minglan , she has already counted it, so she was just surprised by the straightforwardness of the Duchess of the Kingdom.

But the three mothers and daughters of the Wang family were really shocked.

Wang's surprised brain didn't turn at all, and replied mechanically: "The son of the Guogong Mansion, with the girl of my family, of course it is a match!" ”

After speaking, I saw that the old lady of the Sheng family's face also changed.

said: "I already know the intention of the Duchess today, but the marriage of the children still has to make the lord of the family nod." ”

When the Duchess came today, she just put things in the open and gave the other party an attitude, and she didn't think about setting the marriage today.

"Well, I'll go home and wait for good news!"

After that, he bowed and left.

The Wang family stayed in a daze, and his daughter and daughter-in-law sent the Duchess away.

It took a while to stand in the doorway and come to his senses.

looked at Minglan who was standing behind him, and said with a complicated expression: "It's so good!" ”
