Shu Blossoms

Chapter 255 The Xiao family has a crush on her
Mrs. Xiao heard everyone's whispers all the way, and after she sat down in her seat, she looked up at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang received her signal, looked at the princess with a smile, and asked softly: "Princess, I wonder if the marriage of the princess has been settled?"

The eldest princess didn't notice the hints between them, and replied with a smile: "I've checked with the official media, and I've seen a few, but I haven't made a decision yet."

Then he sighed again, "Madam also knows that there is only one girl in our Zheng family, and she grew up beside us. My grandpa, my family and our husband and wife are not willing to marry her out. My daughter has such a temper."

"It's a coincidence," Mrs. Wang clapped her hands happily when she heard the words, "Maybe I can still have the matchmaker's wine!"

"You mean?" The eldest princess showed surprise, "Madam has a promising husband? Whose family is it?"

Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Xiao with a smile, and Mrs. Xiao showed a slightly courteous smile to the eldest princess.

"Is it the gentleman of the Xiao family?" The eldest princess asked suspiciously, "Which one is the gentleman of the Xiao family?"

"It's Mr. Xiao," Mrs. Wang said with a chuckle, "I remember Mr. Xiao's family saved the princess a few years ago."

"That's right, Xiao Dalang is still our family's benefactor!" The eldest princess sighed in her heart, not only had she been saved, she had been saved several times.

Without Xiao Dalang, Wei'er would not have been able to return from Dawei.

Xiao Yucheng's child is indeed promising, with a dignified appearance. Although the Xiao family in Lanling is not considered a noble family, it has been passed down for a hundred years, and the Emperor Zhou has trusted the Xiao family for the past two years.

What's more important is that this child has already become a fourth-rank general at such a young age, so he is young, promising and has a bright future.

So it can be considered a good relationship, but the eldest princess has a worry in her heart, so she can't let go, she just asked Mrs. Xiao in a little surprise: "Your Dalang was crowned a few years ago, isn't he engaged yet?" ?”

Mrs. Xiao sighed sadly when she heard the words, "This kid was supposed to discuss marriage two years ago, but as soon as I mentioned it, he ran to the barracks and didn't return for several months. Later, I told him a few times, and he simply said that he would wait for the crowning I'll talk about it later. After being crowned a year ago, I thought I should say kiss this time, but this kid ran to the military camp before he was out of the first month, and didn't come back until last month."

"I didn't expect this kid to say that he liked the princess for a long time as soon as he came back." Madam Xiao smiled on her face, fearing that the eldest princess would think Xiao Yucheng was reckless, so she hurriedly said: "It's just that the princess was still young before, so I was afraid that it would affect the reputation of the princess. Dare to mention, now that the chief of the county has reached the age of Ji, he begged me to come and propose marriage."

After speaking, seeing that the eldest princess's face remained unchanged, and her eyebrows stretched, she was relieved, and continued: "This kid is so stupid after living in the military camp all the year round. How dare he come to the door recklessly when he proposes marriage? It's not like I did it a few days ago. I begged Mrs. Wang, and wanted her to come to the door to talk to the eldest princess, and I heard that Mrs. Wang is the official guest of the princess, so I volunteered to come today as a compliment."

The eldest princess couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly when she heard the words, but the corners of her mouth dropped again when she thought of the worry in her heart.

Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wang saw the ups and downs of the eldest princess's face and didn't understand her meaning for a moment. Mrs. Xiao was satisfied with the princess's temperament and appearance from the bottom of her heart.

Although the aristocratic family in Jiankang City said that the princess was rude and violent, she had seen the child before, he was courageous, resourceful, resolute and tenacious, and she was just right to be the mistress of their Xiao family.

The current lords of the Xiao family have all joined the army, if the mistress of the house is not strong enough, they will not be able to take care of the family at all.

As for the impulsive nature of the princess, Mrs. Xiao felt that she was still naive because of her young age, at least she was not one of those scheming people behind her back.When you get older, your temper will naturally calm down.

So she really fell in love with Zheng Wei as the daughter-in-law of Xiao's parents, so she naturally didn't want to miss it, and asked tentatively: "If the eldest princess still has any doubts, please express it clearly."

The eldest princess looked at the wives and daughters of the families outside, and said without further ado, "You also know that Wei'er is now a princess with a fief, and her marriage may have to be reported to His Majesty to see if he has anything to say. of."

"It's natural." Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said: "Afterwards, I invited my Lord Hou to enter the palace to ask for a marriage order."

Xiao Chengyan made many meritorious deeds, and Emperor Zhou bestowed the Marquis three years ago with the title of Marquis of Anping.

Seeing her being so attentive, the eldest princess really fell in love with her own Wei'er, and she didn't dare to say that she refused, "Don't worry, Da Furen, it's inconvenient today, let's talk about it another day, so I can go to the palace and ask His Majesty first." the meaning of."

"Okay," Mrs. Xiao saw that the eldest princess said so and couldn't hold on to it, so she could only say: "We will deliver the post to the door another day!"

After the banquet was over, Mrs. Xiao didn't get into her own carriage, but followed Mrs. Wang into the Wang family's carriage, and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law of the Wang family, what do you mean by the eldest princess? She is hesitant to speak when she is happy. Not a happy word."

"It seems that the eldest princess is satisfied with your Da Lang, but she seems to have some concerns." Mrs. Wang pondered.

"Could it be that there was someone we agreed with before?" Mrs. Xiao guessed, seeing Mrs. Wang shaking her head, she suddenly thought of something, clapped her hands and said, "That's because of the rumors, it doesn't mean that the Great Wei Mission came to Jiankang this time, isn't it? Is it for marriage with Da Zhou? Is the eldest princess afraid that His Majesty will let the Princess marry? What should I do if this is the case? Isn’t my Da Lang going to be sad.”

"Don't scare yourself." Mrs. Wang shook her head amusedly, "I've never seen you be so indifferent to any girl, but you are so indifferent to this princess who is known to cause trouble."

Seeing that she was still worried, he analyzed: "This eldest princess has never saved people who are not deep-minded, and she will show it on her face when she can't hold back. You see her so happy today, she must not be so happy." thing."

"Don't be impatient, there are hundreds of daughters in the family asking for help. What's more, our Da Zhou, the most favored princess, it's normal to visit more times." Mrs. Wang persuaded, secretly thinking that it's a pity, seeing the princess today The Lord is not as unbearable as the rumors say, on the contrary, she is an ice-snow and intelligent girl. Although her manners and appearance are not the most outstanding, she is also a good girl.

If it wasn't for her master not allowing the Wang family to be too prominent, she would also like to raise her youngest son for a fight.

After hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Mrs. Xiao felt more at ease, and got off the carriage halfway and got into her own carriage.

At this time, in the Honglu Temple Mansion, the officials of the Great Wei Mission handed Liu Siqing a gift list and a letter, and said with a smile: "This is a gift from the Great Wei Emperor to His Majesty the Great Zhou. Submit the list of gifts and the letter, so that the ministers can deliver the gifts to His Majesty Zhou in person."

Liu Siqing opened the gift list, looked at it, and smiled back: "Don't worry, my lord, I will send the booklet to the palace as soon as possible."

When the Wei envoy left, Liu Siqing hurriedly shouted to the outside: "Get your horses ready, I'm going to enter the palace!"

It's terrible, the gifts on this gift list are almost catching up with the annual tax payment for New Year's Day.

What does Emperor Wei mean by this?
