Seeing off the Chen family and his party, Cui's tired rubbed his head in the room.

The old mother was next to her to help her unload the hairpin ring, "Madame, but you have a headache because of Mrs. Chen's visit?" ”

"But it's not, a few days ago, Qingyang Gong hosted a flower-viewing banquet and sent posts to our house, but the lord didn't let the two girls go."

"I heard that the prince has taken a fancy to the girl of the Nangong family...... The girl in our family, even if she doesn't want to be the crown princess, she has to be matched with a well-connected official eunuch. ”

When they said this, the Cui family was angry, and the Nangong family immediately climbed on top of them.

"The Chen family is really beyond their means, and they dare to come to the door to talk about family affairs!"

"Madam, I haven't seen it, but I can't do it......"

"How?"

The old mother said, "The Queen Mother has always been strategic, she loves Princess Yun so much, how could she casually marry the princess to the Chen family?" ”

"What do you mean......"

"What the slave means, Madame, don't be in a hurry to refuse too quickly, let's wait and see."

"The slave maid thinks that what Mrs. Chen said has some truth, after all, the Chen family is also one of the eight great families, and the ancestors deserve to enjoy the Taimiao."

"The reason why it is now at the end of the eight great families is that Master Chen's early death is one, and the two sons are unhappy in the imperial examination for a while, and there are also those who are unsatisfactory for a while."

"It must be that the Queen Mother thinks that the Chen family is still a little interesting, so she is willing to marry Princess Nianyun to the Chen family, and she also gives a dowry twice as much as the princess's share, thinking that she wants to support the Chen family."

"What you said is not unreasonable...... Cui Shi fell into deep thought.

However, she quickly returned to her senses, "What I just said at the banquet, is it too heavy, will it dispel the idea of the Qin family to take a kiss?" ”

"Madame, don't worry, the slave maid sees that Mrs. Chen likes the second miss very much, and at the table, her eyes did not leave the second miss."

"And since the death of Old Man Chen, Old Madam Chen has independently supported the Chen Mansion, she must have taken a fancy to the strength of our family, and she will not give up so easily."

"It's okay," Cui nodded, "Didn't Chen Shao'an go out with the army, if he can make a military merit and come back, let's talk about this Chen Shaokang's marriage......"

"As the saying goes, it's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. If the Chen family really needs to take off, our Earl Guangyu Mansion can do this east wind! ”

After returning home, the old lady was also a little happy.

Although the countess did not let go, she could see that the second lady Ding Minru was moved.

Unexpectedly, the strategy used on Su Nianyun could still be used on Ding Minru.

She is familiar with this routine!

Thinking of this, he immediately asked people to go to the academy to call the second son back, ready to teach Chen Shaoan's successful strategy to the second son.

People who don't want to be sent out at noon don't bring them back until night.

"How many miles away is the academy? Why are you coming back now? The old lady asked the little girl with a calm face.

The little guy stood there with his head bowed and his hands down, not knowing how to answer.

It was Chen Shaokang who said, "Mother, don't blame him, I wasn't in the academy at all, but went out with a few classmates." ”

"Outing?"

"Yes, mother, I am about to get moldy when I study in the academy every day."

"We met a few classmates to relax and recite poems and books, but I didn't expect that this would be better than reading in the academy and memorizing it faster......

"Really?" As soon as the old lady heard that he was reading faster and better, there was joy in her eyes, "You just need to study hard." ”

"I read it seriously, you see that I forgot to look at my feet because I worked too hard, and I fell hard!"

"Oh, let me see, but did you hurt yourself?" When she heard that her son had fallen, the old lady was worried, "Do you want to call a doctor to take a look?" ”

Chen Shaokang shook his head, "Mother, it doesn't matter, I'm a dignified man!" ”

The old lady stroked Chen Shaokang's head lovingly and praised, "My Kang'er has grown up and is already the pillar of the Chen family!" ”

Chen Shaokang glanced at the little girl, "You go out, I'll talk to my mother alone!" ”

The little guy hurriedly withdrew, and while going back to his place, he thought that the second master was really a master of making up stories.

Obviously, he searched all over the city before he found the second master in Wanhua Pavilion.

Afraid of the old lady's punishment, the second master has been outside to clean up the smell of wine and fat powder before daring to come back.

In this way, the second master was stunned and said that he was going to go green.

Because I was too anxious to come back, I fell down, and I also said that I was too involved in reading and fell.

In terms of lying, the second master is the second in the capital and the first in the whole house!

"Mother, what's the matter with getting me back in such a hurry?"

Seeing the little guy leave, Chen Shaokang asked quietly.

Afraid of delaying his studies, his mother never looked for him at this time, and waited for him to return home before the two talked together.

The old lady told him about marrying the second lady of the Earl's Court......

"Mother, what did you say?" Chen Shaokang felt incredible, "You let me marry the second lady of the Earl's Court?" ”

It's only been half a month, what kind of dream is my mother doing?

How is this possible?

"Don't be incredulous, Mother has already been to the Earl's Court." The old lady laughed.

"Did you say yes?"

"The countess didn't agree, but the mother could see that the second lady was tempted."

"Isn't this it, what kind of family is the Earl Guangyu Mansion, how can you agree to let me marry their daughter!" Chen Shaokang exhaled.

"What is this, my mother is so anxious to call you back, just to let you think about it, but when have you ever seen that Miss Ding Er?"

"This ...... How can it be? Chen Shaokang shook his head without thinking about it, the young lady of the earl's family, in fact, he could see it casually.

"Could it be a poetry meeting, she inadvertently commented on your talent, so Fang Xin secretly promised, don't you know? Don't you classmates often hold poetry meetings? ”

"Yes, our college classmates often hold poetry meetings...... Chen Shaokang nodded.

But he has never participated, saying that participating in the poetry meeting is just perfunctory to his mother.

After all, his mother is very concerned about his studies, and since his eldest brother failed the third exam, his mother has pinned her hopes on herself and her third brother.

The third brother is better, only fourteen years old, and he is also a little talented, maybe he will be able to make a name for himself in the future.

He is different, he is twenty-three years old, and compared to the golden house in the book, the realistic Yan Ruyu attracts him more.

Although she couldn't seem to remember her son when she looked at her, the old lady was already sure that Miss Ding Er definitely liked Kang'er.

Otherwise, when Su Nianyun talked about her treatment in the Chen family during the banquet, she would definitely not show that envious expression.

So, she decided to start with two things.

On the one hand, it is necessary to choose a suitable courtyard in the house and arrange it according to Ding Minru's preferences.

On the one hand, it is necessary to find ways to make the second son continue to have a deeper emotional bond with Ding Minru.

When the time comes, even if the Countess does not agree, she will agree.

The queen mother has no choice but to take her own daughter, what can the countess do if she can take her own daughter?

Immediately, she told her second son about her plan like this.

Listening to his mother's plan, Chen Shaokang waved his hand again and again in fright, "Mother, this is not good, I can't do it, didn't you tell me to lie to Miss Ding?" ”

He didn't even know what that woman looked like, not to mention whether he would like others, just based on her family background, if the matter was leaked, he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.

He is selfish and afraid of death, he just wants to spend his days drinking and talking happily in the Qinglou, and he doesn't want to seduce any young lady of the earl's family at all.

"What's not to do, what are you afraid of? Isn't that how your eldest brother married the princess? "The old lady hates that iron is not steel.

"What?" Chen Shaokang looked at his mother in surprise, "Mother, what you said is true?" Big brother he ......"

After the surprise, it was a sudden realization.

"I'll just say, the eldest brother has always felt good-looking, and he vowed to find someone who matches him in appearance, why did he suddenly marry such a black princess."

"Mother, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The old lady said, "I didn't tell you before, because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to keep the secret and ruin your eldest brother's good deeds......"

She looked at Mother Wen on the side, "You go and invite the princess over, just say that I have something important to say to her!" ”
