Xu Zhen'er said in her heart, wasn't the third brother already sentenced out? In this regard, Jiang Zhou's chances of winning are greater than those of the third brother.

"Zhen'er, can you help the third brother? Why don't you hold a flower party and invite your sister Gu to our house, so that the third brother will have the opportunity to be alone with your sister Gu. Xu Yanqing smiled at Xu Zhen'er.

Xu Zhen'er couldn't bear to refuse.

"I also think that Sister Gu and the third brother are a good match. Besides, Sister Gu's beauty is easy to cause trouble, and I'm only worried that Master Jiang's family background can't protect Sister Gu. Xu Zhen'er made a decision immediately: "Isn't there a noon flower in our garden?" In the name of flower appreciation, invite Sister Gu to come over to enjoy the flowers, and the third brother will have to seize the opportunity. ”

"Then you must ask her over! I'm afraid that she will know that it is our house, and she will deliberately avoid it. I threatened to forcibly abduct her today, but she didn't want to go with me to eat at Jixianglou. Xu Yanqing has little confidence.

Xu Zhen'er sneered when she heard this: "I am not happy to change me." Sister Gu has made it clear to you, how can she be willing to be alone with you again? She is a daughter, unmarried, and her reputation is the most important. ”

Xu Yanqing smiled bitterly: "That's why I want to ask you to help me." ”

Xu Zhen'er did not shirk, and under Xu Yanqing's advice, she began to write the invitation.

The Xu family brothers and sisters are harmonious and harmonious, but looking at Gu Xiyan's side, it is just the opposite.

She just entered Xiyuan with her front foot, and Liu Junyan followed with her back foot, and also brought her a few lists to look at.

One of them was General Mingwei, thirty-two years old, a whole year older than Gu Xiyan. This is all second, it is reported that General Mingwei has an unsightly hobby, and his first two wives were tortured to death by General Mingwei.

The other is Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, who is forty years old, and is also a widower, and several children in the family are older than Gu Xiyan, and it is said that he is very strong, and ordinary daughters dare not marry.

Liu Junyan chattered endlessly, Seeing Gu Xiyan sitting quietly and not speaking, she smiled lightly: "These are a few good people that my mother chose for my sister to choose." It is only said that the Jinyi Wei Tongzhi is a master of the third grade, and he is a majestic man in the court, and he is deeply valued by His Majesty, so my sister must seize the opportunity. Why don't you talk to your sister and sister, which one does your sister want to look at? ”

She just wanted to see Gu Xiyan's collapse with her own eyes, so she made this trip.

Originally, she didn't plan to tell Gu Xiyan about it so quickly, but now Gu Xiyan is provoking Xu Yanqing again, so it's no wonder that she did things desperately.

Since Gu Xiyan was restless, she asked her mother to finalize Gu Xiyan's marriage as soon as possible.

Gu Xiyan looked at Liu Junyan quietly and didn't speak.

Liu Junyan saw that Gu Xiyan was so calm, and only said that Gu Xiyan was pretending to be calm.

My sister gave a word. My mother worked hard for her sister's marriage, and it was easy to find these good people. After all, my sister was withdrawn by His Royal Highness King Qin, and she bears the name of her father and mother, so it's good that these people don't dislike her sister, and my sister has to experience her mother's hard work. Liu Junyan said again, with a very mean gesture.

Gu Xiyan's lips drew a sneering arc: "Then I want to thank my sister and aunt for their kindness." Just now I was thinking about what my sister was like in the past, but no matter how I thought about it, I also remembered that my sister was not as mean as she is now. ”

Although Liu Junyan looked down on her before, she really didn't do anything unseemly to her. But now Liu Junyan's mean face can't be covered up even if she applies thick fat powder.

Liu Junyan's face changed slightly: "Who do you say is mean?!" ”

Gu Xiyan didn't want to fight with Liu Junyan, so she only gave her one sentence: "My uncle once said in front of me and my grandmother, I am the master of my marriage, so there is no need to worry about my aunt in this matter, and my sister doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Liu Junyan couldn't believe it, and got up suddenly: "Impossible! ”

Since ancient times, the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, why can Gu Xiyan's marriage be decided by himself?

Obviously, the mother is the benefactor who raised Gu Xiyan, and it should be the mother who can handle Gu Xiyan's marriage.

If my sister doesn't believe me, she can ask her grandmother. After all, my marriage is not in a hurry, since my sister thinks that General Mingwei and the commander Tongzhi are good candidates for husband, my sister might as well marry herself and enjoy the blessings, and I don't have such blessings as a sister. Gu Xiyan looked at Shen's mother and said, "Mom, send off!" ”

Shen's mother had long wanted to drive people away, so when she saw this, she immediately went to "invite" Liu Junyan to leave Xiyuan.

Liu Junyan was about to ask what was going on, so she hurried to the study.

But she was a little stunned, and finally turned around and went to Zaohui Hall, intending to ask the old lady.

The old lady didn't expect Liu Junyan to come to her for this matter, she said with a straight face: "It is indeed your father who said it himself, and Sister Xi'er's marriage is up to her." Junyan, don't worry about your eldest sister's marriage, let your mother stop, don't make your father angry. ”

Since the son said that it was the emperor's grace, their Liu family could not be the master of this matter.

Although Liu Junyan had been mentally prepared, getting such an answer still made her angry.

She hid her churning emotions and asked the old lady, "Grandmother, do you know what's going on, why is my father so tolerant of my sister?" ”

Even if it was her own daughter, her father had never given her such freedom, right?

"The grandmother next to me can't say much, but you have to remember that the objects that Sister Xi looks at are all arranged by His Majesty personally." The old lady stopped at the point.

She believed that Junyan was a smart person, and she could figure out these things with a little mention.

Liu Junyan was stunned.

The old lady didn't mention this matter, she forgot that Xu Yanqing was indeed one of the objects of His Majesty's matchmaking.

This is strange, it is not because Zhou Xing withdrew from Gu Xiyan's marriage, His Majesty felt guilty about Gu Xiyan, so he wanted to be a matchmaker for Gu Xiyan.

Otherwise, how to explain His Majesty's matchmaking for Gu Xiyan?

After leaving Zaohui Hall, Liu Junyan was still unwilling, and she planned to go to her father to test her tone.

Wan Qinghou was not in the study, but had just returned home from the palace.

As soon as he entered the Hou Mansion, he saw Liu Junyan waiting in front of the Hanging Flower Gate, and as soon as he saw him, he greeted him happily: "Why did my father return home at this hour?" ”

"Your Majesty has something important to discuss with your father, and you are late to return home today, are you waiting for your father?" Wan Qinghou looked at his beloved daughter lovingly.

Xiao Gu gave birth to a son and a daughter for him.

His son Liu Jingyao is twelve years old this year, and now he is studying at Jianzhang Academy, and it is rare to return home.

Liu Junyan is his eldest daughter, and her temperament is too strong, like Xiao Gu's. How nice would it be if we were like him?

"Mother has been worrying about the eldest sister's marriage recently, and is looking for a match for the eldest sister, and the daughter is coming to ask her father's opinion, but what should I pay attention to." Liu Junyan knocked on the side, not forgetting to observe the change in Wan Qinghou's expression.
