Chapter 109: The Zhou Mansion Comes to Propose

Hu Qinqin, who was hiding behind the lobby, frowned deeply after hearing the woman's words, and quietly left directly from behind the screen.

"This Lu Chuan is really hateful, if it doesn't work, we will get rid of him."

After going back, the more the second princess thought about it, the more angry she became.

She looked at Li Youran with a pair of loving eyes, she didn't dare to imagine how Li Youran's previous understated failed marriage was spent.

is already married, but he is still a virgin. can't give birth to children, and is wronged, an old hen that doesn't lay eggs, and is ravaged by her mother-in-law......

When the second princess thought of this, tears flashed in her eyes. It's all her bad, if she hadn't lost her sister back then, she wouldn't have experienced these heartwarming things.

"Sister, Lu Chuan is a clown who jumps off the beam, why do we need to be like him."

Seeing this, Li Youran knew that the second princess was worried about her, so as he spoke, he coquettishly hugged the arm of the second princess and continued.

"Moreover, after Lu Chuan's trouble, everyone in the capital knows that I am still a virgin. Isn't that a good thing for me? ”

As Li Youran said, Lu Chuan originally wanted to pour a basin of dirty water on Li Youran, but he didn't expect it, but he accidentally spread the news that Li Youran was still a virgin.

"It's all my sister who is not good, and she has wronged you."

The more Li Youran comforted the second princess like this, the more she felt guilty in her heart.

Although the second princess did not mention Lu Chuan again, she had already made up her mind in her heart that Lu Chuan must be eliminated.

"Bastard, why didn't you tell me in advance that Li Youran was still a virgin?"

Hu Qinqin raised his hand and threw a cup on the ground, and scolded Lu Chuan angrily.

"I don't know, it's a trap on her part."

Lu Chuan gritted his teeth and didn't admit that Li Youran was perfect, because he had made up his mind before entering Beijing, even if he died, he wouldn't let people know that he couldn't do anything, after all, the feeling of being ridiculed was unforgettable to him.

Hu Qinqin saw that Lu Chuan was so sure, and wondered, could it be that Li Youran's perfect body was really fake?

Facts speak louder than words, and then everyone knows that Li Youran is still a complete thing.

"I knew this was the case, so when the rumors were spreading, I went to the second prince's mansion to ask for a kiss, and I cheapened the second family's for nothing."

Mrs. Wu regretted it very much, she didn't seize the opportunity at the beginning, and let Mrs. Wu take the lead.

At this moment, Wu Qiang walked in, playing with walnuts in one hand and behind his back with the other.

"This matter is not simple, just go directly to the queen mother for marriage."

When Wu Qiang said this, he was very casual, as if marrying a wife was like buying vegetables.

Indeed, for Wu Qiang, he is not short of wives, except for the genuine wife, there are no less than dozens of concubines and roommates.

"What you said is also a method, but the queen mother may not agree to this matter."

On the day of the flower-viewing meeting, Mrs. Wu also saw that the queen took a special fancy to Li Youran.

After thinking about it carefully, it is clear that the three sons in the uncle's mansion have not yet said that they are married, and the queen must have the idea of marrying Li Youran into the uncle's mansion.

Speaking of the position of the queen mother, it is always incomprehensible, she supports His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and has never despised His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and she looks like a good mother before and after.

But the more this happens, the more people are jealous.

"Mother, now that His Royal Highness the Third Prince is no longer favored, and the prime minister is no longer as powerful as before, our national protection efforts not only can't count on them, maybe they will be implicated because of it."

Don't look at Wu Qiang's greed for beauty, he is a bastard on weekdays, but the situation is very clear.

"If the queen mother prompts the uncle's mansion and the second prince's mansion to marry, maybe they will join forces to deal with our national protection kung fu in the future."

Hearing Wu Qiang's words, Mrs. Wu frowned slightly.

She felt that what Wu Qiang said was not unreasonable, it seemed that this marriage really couldn't be made for him.

"I'm going to find your father and ask him to ask the Holy Lord to marry you and Li Youran."

After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she left with the maid beside her, leaving Wu Qiang alone.

"Little baby, come over quickly, let the uncle hurt."

Wu Qiang said as he pulled a maid beside him, stopped her in his arms, and picked it off.

"In the future, there will be a hostess in the room, uncle, I'm afraid I won't be able to hurt you often."

Wu Qiang laughed as he spoke. The maid in her arms buried her head in his arms with a shyly look on her face and beat him lightly on the chest.

Li Youran never expected that he had just verified his innocence in the court in the morning, and someone would come to the door to propose marriage in the afternoon.

It was none other than Zhou Caidie's brother Zhou Wencai.

Master Zhou's official residence is a royalist, very loyal to the emperor, and an old minister who is deeply loved by the emperor.

Master Zhou has done a lot of practical things for the country and the people, and he is a rare clean and good official, so His Royal Highness the Second Prince has always had the heart to woo him.

However, Zhou Lao did not explicitly refuse, but he did not choose to support it.

To be honest, if he didn't consider Li Youran's feelings, His Royal Highness the Second Prince really wanted to agree to this family business, because this was a rare opportunity for him to win over Master Zhou.

"Gongzi Zhou is a rare talent, if they can be together, Gongzi Zhou is naturally a good marriage that they can't ask for."

After the second princess finished speaking, she made a very embarrassed look, looked up at the matchmaker.

"My sister has suffered a lot outside, and I want to keep her for a few more years to make up for the regrets over the years."

The meaning of the second princess is very clear, that is, she did not want to marry Li Youran, and she wanted to refuse this marriage.

I saw that the grandmother who came was not angry, and took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from her arms with a smile.

"Second princess, look, this is the bracelet at the bottom of the box pressed by our ancestors, and this is still his dowry back then."

Seeing this, the second princess was slightly surprised, she didn't expect the Zhou family to attach so much importance to this family business.

"The Zhou family really likes Miss Li from top to bottom."

Mama said while putting on a close, talking about Zhou Caidie.

"Don't be in a hurry before getting married, it's better to let the two young ladies make an appointment to play together, and let Miss Li take a look at Zhou Gongzi from a distance in private, and then make a decision."

Seeing that Mama had already said something about this, the second princess was not good at saying too hard about refusal, after all, she had the intention of wooing the Zhou Mansion, so she responded.

"Leisurely, my sister knows that she shouldn't make decisions without permission, but it's good to see each other first, what if you really cast your eyes?"

The second princess had the lesson of the last time, and she was afraid that she would be estranged from her because of this incident, so after her grandmother left, she hurriedly looked behind the screen.

"Everything is up to my sister."

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Li Youran has begun to put on a thin skirt, with a plain skirt as the base and a light green sand coat on the outside, which looks like a feeling of being in the clouds.

Li Youran could understand that it was not easy for the second princess, so she didn't say anything, and for her, it was not so embarrassing to look at each other.

Besides, she and Zhou Caidie are friends, and it's good for the two to go out to play.

"Sister, come and try these snacks, they taste excellent."

Li Youran said, and then opened the dim sum brought by his grandmother, only to see that the dim sum was very delicate and looked very appetizing.

"You've been in the capital for so long, and I haven't seriously bought eight pieces of Beijing for you, so I'll eat more if you like."

The second princess saw Li leisurely eating snacks, and her heart was very warm.

Kyohachi is the most distinctive traditional product of Kyoto-style pastry. In the Qing Dynasty, it has always been an indispensable gift and display for the royal family, royal sacrifices, ceremonies, ceremonies, red and white ceremonies, and even daily life.

"Kyohachikaku" was not originally the name of the confectionery. Originally, it was made by placing confectionery engraved with auspicious sayings such as "Fuku", "Shou", "Lu", "Joy" and "Good Luck" on eight plates and arranged in various patterns, so it became the Kyoto Eight Pieces.

"Didn't you say that you will definitely be able to make Li Youran's reputation stink more and more in the capital, why are all the good things of Ji Youran these days?"

Redsleeves leaned back on the soft couch and said without raising his head.

"Sister, don't worry, this is left in the green mountains, I'm not afraid of no firewood, anyway, Li Youran's previous husband Lu Chuan, wore a pair of pants with us, and wanted to give Li Youran broken shoes and dirty water, isn't it a piece of cake?"

The brother of the red sleeves said as he reached out to make a gesture of asking for money, only to see the red sleeves said with an impatient expression.

"Every day I know what I want to do."

Red Sleeves said, this piece waved at the little girl beside him, only to see that the duckling also took out a stack of silver tickets from the bottom of the red sleeve jewelry box.

"I heard that the Zhou Mansion went to the Second Prince's Mansion to propose marriage, and I will give you another seven days, if you can't ruin this matter, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people in the future."

"I know, brother and sister, don't worry."

As the red-sleeved eldest brother spoke, he snatched the silver ticket, stuffed it into his arms without counting them, and left with a happy look.

The red sleeves are still lying on the soft couch, letting the maid beat her back and pinch her shoulders.

Since the last time he was forcibly sent money to Li Youran to make amends, Red Sleeves couldn't swallow this breath in her heart, so she secretly entrusted her eldest brother to make trouble for Li Youran, but this eldest brother is extremely unreliable, and he can't do anything except ask for money.

If it can't be done this time, Red Sleeves plans to hire another master.

"The front foot Zhou Fu just came to propose, and the back foot you chased here, so afraid of losing me?"

Li Youran joked at Tang Lei while staring at the guys refining the salt.

"You're thinking too much."

Tang Leijian Li said this leisurely, and he felt a little unbearable on his face, as if he was so small, so he forcibly refused to admit it.

After Li Youran heard Tang Lei's words, he raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Tang Lei, looked disbelieving, and continued.

"Since you don't care about me, then I'll agree to this family business?"

The reason why Li Youran said this was to see if Tang Lei would be angry.

But he didn't expect that Tang Lei mistakenly thought that what Li Youran said was true.

"As long as you're happy."

It turns out that it's better not to make this kind of joke casually with a straight man of steel, Tang Lei said to Li leisurely in a serious manner.

"You are ruthless!" Li Youran said with a frown, and then left without looking back.

"Are you going to go shopping next?"

Tang Lei frowned slightly, he didn't know why Li Youran was suddenly angry, so he shouted at Li Youran with a big voice.

But Li Youran didn't look back, and didn't respond to her at all.

But early the next morning, when Tang Lei came to look for Li Youran, he saw that she really went out to meet the people in the Zhou Mansion, and only then did he know that Li Youran was not just talking.

In order for the two of them to be together, he stayed up late for three days in a row, just to complete the task ahead of schedule.

But Li Youran is good, he actually went to meet the people of the Zhou family, is his weight so light in Li Youran's heart?

Tang Lei thought of this, and felt very uncomfortable.

He turned around and went back to the barracks, and took on a very important task.

"My brother is in the carriage in the back."

Zhou Caidie whispered to Li Youran when she saw Li Youran.

Li Youran was in a bad mood, but seeing Zhou Caidie's elated appearance, it didn't affect her mood, so he smiled slightly, nodded, and got into the carriage.

Zhou Caidie didn't think much about it, thinking that Li Youran was shy, so she was so restrained.

Not to mention Li Youran, even she is a little restrained, she is really here to act as a light bulb.

Since knowing that Li Youran is very likely to become his sister-in-law, Zhou Caidie has not slept well all night with excitement.

Not long after getting into the carriage, Zhou Caidie fell asleep on Li Youran's shoulder.

Li leisurely lifted the curtain on the carriage and looked outside.

At this time, there was already spring, and there were dense branches and leaves everywhere, remembering that it was still a harsh winter when he first came to the capital, Li Youran couldn't help but sigh in his heart, time flies really fast.

Immediately afterwards, she thought of Tang Lei's sudden appearance in her room and confessed to her. However, because of a misunderstanding, the two also had an oolong. Thinking of this, Li Youran couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Tang Lei is good at everything, but his brain is too ill-informed, he has no mood at all, he is simply a wooden head.

At this moment, the carriage following behind suddenly disappeared, and the subordinates on the side panicked and sent someone to look for it.

"Miss Li, the wheels of the carriage our son was riding in suddenly broke somehow, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go any further."

After hearing the words of the next person, Li Youran frowned slightly, how could a good carriage suddenly break the wheel, could it be that the Zhou Mansion had other arrangements?

"Our young master didn't like to ride horses since he was a child, so. I can only sit in a sedan car, I don't know what to ......"

"Then let Zhou Gongzi take the carriage, and I'll ride the horse."

Li Youran mistakenly thought that the Zhou family was not authentic, so he said with emotion.

The subordinates on the side didn't know how to explain, so they could only hurriedly find a gentle foal and help Li Ran sit up.
