The heat was steaming, and as soon as he entered the second gate of the palace, Zeng Yan greeted him.

When Xia Jing saw him, she teased: "Yo, what's the big deal today, why bother the big housekeeper to come to the door to greet him?" ”

Zeng Yan stepped forward to personally help Xia Jing get out of the carriage, and said with a smile: "The princess is serious, it is the blessing of the old slave to be able to serve the princess." ”

Although there is a maid holding an umbrella for her in the hot Lingnan, the ultraviolet rays are still very strong, Xia Jing covers her forehead with the fan in her hand, "You are waiting for me here, but the prince has something to find?" ”

"The princess is clever, the little one hasn't opened his mouth yet, you know the purpose of the little one's coming." Zeng Yan complimented.

"In that case, let's go." Xia Jing took a step and took the lead in walking to King Qian's study in the front yard, wondering what King Qian was looking for her today?

Zeng Yan looked back at the two-headed carriage that Xia Jing was sitting on, "Princess, didn't the fifth master go out with you, and he didn't come back?" ”

Xia Jing: "Xiao Wu went to my steward to have something to do, what's wrong?" The prince wants to see Xiao Wu? ”

After Li Chengmu entered the city, he was sent by Xia Jing to find Ding Daqiang and asked him to temporarily take care of the affairs of the sugar factory.

Zeng Yan was two steps behind Xia Jing, listened to the question, and shook his head busily: "That's not true, it's just that the slave asked casually." ”

Xia Jing glanced back at him, "Do you know what the prince is looking for me for?" ”

Zeng Yan looked around, except for Xia Jing's eldest maid Hongmei, the other little maids were all a certain distance away from here, so there was no need to worry about letting insignificant people hear it.

Xia Jing was stunned by his movements, and she was even more curious about what King Qian was looking for her for?

Just thinking about it, I heard Zeng Yan say: "It was Lord Yuan of Jingzhou who sent a brother from the side branch over, saying that he wanted to make a good relationship with our Qian Wangfu, and the prince was having a headache about this matter, and wanted to ask the princess to help get an idea." ”

"Marriage?"

After listening to Zeng Yan's words at this time, these two words automatically appeared in Xia Jing's mind, her footsteps stopped, and she looked back at Zeng Yan, "Can the two gentlemen be in the study?" ”

Zeng Yan's footsteps also stopped: "Here." ”

Xia Jing nodded, and then took another step towards the study.

In the study, King Qian looked at the information recorded on the paper about the family situation of Yuan Rujiang, the assassin of Jingzhou, and the information of his marriageable son.

How do you look at it, how dissatisfied, I feel that my own girl married into his family and lost a lot of money.

"Lord, the princess is here." The voice of a servant sounded outside the door.

King Qian put down the paper in his hand and looked at Anu.

Anu understood what he meant, walked to the door and opened the door to greet Xia Jing in person, "Princess, please come in." ”

Xia Jing walked past him into the study, and the two gentlemen got up to greet her, "Weichen has seen the princess." ”

"No need to be polite, get up." Xia Jing walked to the desk and sat down, and asked King Qian, who was sitting opposite, straight to the point, "Did you ask Zeng Yanhuo to come over to me in a hurry?" ”

King Qian chuckled and picked up the teapot, poured her a cup of tea for the first time, and gently pushed it in front of her, "Princess, please drink tea." ”

Scold! The picture is not small!

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows at him, and it was definitely not a trivial matter to make the old lady put down her body and pour tea for her.

Xia Jing didn't say anything, and quietly picked up the teacup and drank it to moisten her throat.

Along the way, although there was an ice basin on the carriage, it was too hot and I still sweated a lot.

She's thirsty!

Seeing that Xia Jing was really calm, King Qian sat down to drink tea, and no longer asked the reason for calling her over, so he looked up at Zeng Yan, did this old slave reveal the news?

Zeng Yan lowered his head humbly, looked for ants on the clean marble floor, and did not find it after looking around, the floor was bright, well, the mother-in-law who was responsible for the hygiene of the study should be rewarded.

Seeing his expression, King Qian didn't know that this old slave was talking too much.

"Phew"

With a soft sound, Xia Jing put down the teacup.

This soft sound brought King Qian back to his senses, and he calmed down and said, "The princess has the courage to run out on such a hot day, and she doesn't have to get a tan or heat stroke." ”

Xia Jing looked at him with a smile, "I don't have your rich life, I was born to work hard." ”

King Qian: "."

He looked for help at the two gentlemen sitting at the bottom of him.

Mr. Zhang coughed lightly, "Princess, the Jingzhou Thorn Shi sent the clan brother to Lingnan, Dao Ming, and wanted to make a good relationship with the palace for Qin and Jin, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Xia Jing turned her head to look at him, and then turned to look at King Qian, "You have discussed this matter for so long, have you come up with a result?" ”

King Qian handed her the paper on the desk, "Yuan Rujiang's youngest son, who is not a few years old in age from Yuzhu, and his family background is also a good match for our palace. ”

Although King Qian felt in his heart that the son of the Yuan family was not worthy of his granddaughter, but in the interests of the family, he admitted that both parties could benefit from this marriage.

Xia Jing took the paper and looked at it.

Yuan Rujiang's youngest son, seventeen years old, looks like a jade tree in the wind, a talent, and is very favored by Yuan Rujiang.

Family background, appearance talent, judging from the information on this piece of paper, this little son is indeed good, and he is a good son-in-law candidate in the eyes of all mothers-in-law.

But Xia Jing never believed in things on paper, and this kind of news that the public could get had little gold content.

If you want to know the character of this little boy, you can only be credible if you send cronies to understand it.

Seeing that Xia Jing was staring at the paper and not speaking, King Qian asked a little eagerly, "How is it?" ”

Xia Jing put down the paper and sighed in her heart, feeling that in ancient times, for the benefit of the family, it was often at the expense of women's happiness.

Sometimes the relationship is strong, sometimes it is weak.

"This kind of marriage event, you should call the second husband and wife to come over to discuss, not me, after all, the second child is Yuzhu's parents, the so-called parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker, I will not overstep the bounds, I have reservations."

"This" King Qian thought about thousands of possibilities, but he didn't expect Xia Jing to react like this.

"Princess, we just want to hear your opinion, and we will definitely ask for the opinion of the second child on the family affairs of the Yuan family."

"The marriage of the girl's family, you should have looked for the second child in the first place, and it is completely unnecessary to find me."

Xia Jing had a calm face, and she was very unhappy in her heart, she was most disgusted with this kind of thing.

Her identity is special, she is the second and their stepmother, no matter what era it is, the stepmother is embarrassed.

If the second child is not satisfied with this kind of marriage, they may think that she is involved in the middle.

If they happen to be satisfied with this family matter, it's okay to say that this kind of thankless thing, Xia Jing generally avoids it.

"Princess, you." King Qian felt that Xia Jing completely regarded himself as an outsider, and this feeling made him unhappy.

Xia Jing raised her hand to interrupt him, "I believe that with the IQ of you and the two gentlemen, the results have been discussed, how to decide is your business, if you really think about Yuzhu, you should ask the second couple and her opinion, not to ask me." ”

Saying that, without waiting for them to react, she stood up, "Okay, I've been running outside all morning and I'm sweating, I'll go back first, you're busy." ”

Xia Jing took Hongmei out of the study, looking at the distant back, King Qian pointed to the door, and was angry.

He slapped the table, "How can this be reasonable, this woman is angry with me!" ”

He didn't speak when he wanted her to come up with something, he didn't want her to take care of things, but she had to intervene, just like expanding Xiao Wu's private soldiers, his private soldiers were about to catch up with his soldiers.

"The prince is angry!"

Mr. Zhang stood up, "Since the princess doesn't want to get involved, then we won't force it." In fact, the princess is also right, we have analyzed the good and bad things, in this case, why don't you pass the second master over, and we will discuss this matter with him? ”

"So be it." King Qian waved his hand and motioned for Anu to pass the word.

Thinking of getting along with Xia Jing, King Qian sighed, in the final analysis, he was still dependent on her, and he always wanted to hear her opinion on everything.

Back at Yigui Courtyard, Xia Jing wiped the sweat on her face, it was really hot to death this day.

She glanced at the sky outside, "Is it raining today?" It was too hot and humid to feel a little out of breath. ”

Bai Mei walked out of the inner room, "Princess, I have put the water in the bathroom, you go take a shower first." It's too hot for the past two days, and it may really rain. ”

Xia Jing nodded, she also felt that there might be a rainstorm in the afternoon.

When she came out after washing, Bai Mei had already set up the meal.

Xia Jing looked at the carefully prepared lunch, sat at the table and said with a smile: "You girl, you are becoming more and more capable now." ”

Bai Mei pursed her lips and smiled: "This is a slave's business, if you can't even do your part, the princess will not keep the slave and maid as a useless person." ”

Xia Jing glanced at the dishes on the table, shook her head and chuckled: "It seems that you know me very well." ”

Bai Mei chuckled and reached out to help Xia Jing put a bowl of mung bean porridge in front of her.

Xia Jing arrived in the hot summer, and she really couldn't eat this meal at noon, so she drank porridge and had a good appetite.

After Hongmei washed up, she returned to the main house, and Xia Jing had already had lunch.

Seeing that Bai Mei was cleaning up the table, Hongmei poured Xia Jing a glass of boiled water, "Princess, please drink water." ”

"Hmm." After eating and drinking, Xia Jing leaned on the soft couch and didn't want to move, Hongmei came in and she just glanced at it, "It's still comfortable to add two ice basins to the house at noon, the temperature in this room is just right, neither hot nor cold." ”

Hongmei looked at the dazzling sunlight outside, and remembered what had just happened in the study.

"Princess, the marriage between Miss Yuzhu and the little son of the Yuan family is a good match, why don't you agree?"

Xia Jing looked at her funny, "I didn't say I disagreed, as long as the second child agreed, I have no opinion." ”

Hongmei was still a little puzzled, "Are you afraid that Miss Yuzhu will not be happy?" ”

Xia Jing squinted her eyes slightly, and said softly: "This is just one of them, being a matchmaker is really thankless for me to say, if the couple live well after marriage, it's okay if they have a similar temper." If the couple are unhappy and unhappy after marriage, then the matchmaker is the first to complain. ”

The most important thing is that she wants the contradictions of the palace to be transferred to her.

Hongmei listened to her words and felt that it made sense.

Xia Jing: "Oh, I forgot to ask, do the guests from Jingzhou live in the mansion or in the inn in the city?" ”

Hongmei looked at Baimei.

Bai Mei stepped forward and replied: "I heard that I lived in the guest room, and it was arranged by Steward Yan personally, which shows how much the prince attaches importance to this family matter." ”

"Huh!" There is ridicule in Xia Jing's eyes, men, they are all species that put interests first.

In the last days, what man will talk about feelings?

Of course, the same is true for women, so it is good to say that her marriage to King Qian remains the status quo.

If the two are separated from each other, it will have an impact on the child, but the most important thing is that she is away from the signboard of the palace, and she has many inconveniences outside.

Since the impact of the separation is too great, it is better to maintain the face, and the two of them live their own lives without interfering with each other.

Sincere cooperation, go to the white year together.

The marriage dragged on for a few days, and when the preparations for Xia Jing's sugar factory were completed, the news finally came.

"The princess, the second master and the second lady have all agreed to this marriage, and the two sides have exchanged tokens this time, just wait to return to Jingzhou to arrange the next process, and the next appointment will be really decided."

At dinner time, Bai Mei walked in from outside, and told Xia Jing the news she heard as she walked.

Xia Jing glanced at her: "This is not unexpected, it is expected." ”

Thinking of something immediately, Xia Jing put down her chopsticks, "Regardless of whether this marriage is decided or not, in short, I have to let the caravan going to Jingzhou inquire about the reputation of this little son of the Yuan family!" ”

Hongmei listened to her words and spoke a little hesitantly, "Although the princess is doing this for the good of Miss Yuzhu, the marriage has been decided, what is the use of you asking again?" ”

At that time, the palace will definitely not agree to withdraw from the marriage.

If you don't settle down, you may break the contract if you know a little about the man's shortcomings.

But after it is settled, it means that Miss Yuzhu is already a member of the Yuan family, the difference is that she passed the door after getting married, and now she is the daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, and her identity has been nailed with the label of the Yuan family.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven. Yuzhu is a good girl, and I, as a grandmother, of course want her to be happy. ”

Xia Jing was a little worried, logically speaking, no one who can sit on the top of Jingzhou's assassination is stupid.

Since Yuan Rujiang wants to marry with King Qian's mansion, then he will not find a son with a bad reputation to marry, if so, then the two families are not married, but feuded!

Of course, the premise of this is that the mother's family must have a straight waist and be able to support the woman, otherwise, the Yuan family estimates that they can do anything.

"Princess, you are just too kind." In the end, Hongmei gave her an evaluation.

Xia Jing smiled when she heard this, and didn't say a word.

Little girl, she is still too immature, if she knows how many people she has killed and how many monsters she has killed in the last days, she will know if she is kind.

Xia Jing took the tea handed by Baimei, took a sip of water and rinsed her mouth, and then took the handkerchief handed by Hongmei to wipe her lips.

Bai Mei didn't want to always mention the marriage of the second room, so she changed the topic and said: "Princess, Steward Ding has sent a message, saying that the sugar factory can officially start, and he sent a little servant to ask, will you go to the sugar factory tomorrow?" ”

Xia Jing was overjoyed when she heard this, "It's done so quickly?" Ding Daqiang is really a capable person! ”

This is a treasure.

There are a few more capable subordinates, so why don't she need to follow up with the progress because she is worried about following up.

"Whoever says no, it seems that whatever is in his hands, he can easily solve it for the princess." Hongmei also affirmed that Ding Daqiang was a capable man.

The corners of Xia Jing's mouth couldn't help curling, "Then tomorrow we will go to see the sugar factory to make sugar for the first time." ”
