Chapter 48
The old lady picked up the teacup and took a sip, she was not at all impatient, obviously Duan Xian was able to get engaged, she was really overjoyed today.

"Of course not. Let alone the royal family, people like us talk about marriage. They all pay attention to the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers. There are countless marriages made by oneself. No shame."

"However, your eldest sister is different from the Third Highness," the old lady said, blowing the foam from the tea cup and raising her eyes, "It was decided as early as in the capital. "

"It's just that at that time, the elders and children were in order, and there was no female lead in the East Palace. Now that the princes talk about their marriage, it is inconvenient to say it publicly. The mother and concubine of the third highness have taken a fancy to your eldest sister early in the morning, and personally married her." I went to ask His Majesty."

As the old lady spoke, she stretched out her hand and touched the jade ruyi hanging around Duan Xian's neck.

"Hey, this is the token. Eunuch Nie, who is beside His Majesty, also came with His Highness the Third Highness. He came to our mansion early this morning to make a decision. Sigh, I want to keep you for a few more years, but the girl's family When the family grows up, they are going to get married."

As soon as she said this, the sisters of the Duan family blushed and lowered their heads.

Only Duan Yi was still sitting swaggeringly, without changing her face.

The old lady's eyelids twitched, as if she didn't see it, her expression straightened, and her tone became sharper, "Yi'er's question is on point, and it's exactly what grandma wants to tell you guys today."

"Third Highness's matter is unique. It was decided early in the morning and there was no clear path. From the outsiders' perspective, it just seemed sudden."

"Nowadays, the young brother is full of flowers and sweets, so that the little lady can't find her way. The old lady can't care about the girls from other families, but the daughters of my Duan family must not act like that. Things."

"If you say you want to pick the stars and the moon for you, but you can't let your parents find a matchmaker to come to your door to talk about marriage, then they are not honest and gentlemen, and you must not make friends. Otherwise, when the time comes, you will suffer, and it will be your grandmother who will seek justice for you. , let you marry through the door."

"That would also lead to a lifetime of embarrassment and shame."

Duan Yi listened, and looked at Gu Xing from the corner of her eye.

I saw her half-raised her head, listening to the old lady's words seriously, her eyes were full of approval, as if she didn't realize that she was the best example of the person who was said to be unable to hold her head up all her life.

Gu Xing almost echoed the last sentence, your old man is right!
But Duan Hao and Duan Ming both lowered their heads, wishing they could dig a hole out of the ground with their five toes and get in by themselves.

Duan Yi has some dark lines, she has to say that Gu Xing is really extremely powerful in a certain sense.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Duan Yi narrowed her eyes, thinking about what the old lady said, she opened the brocade box from Zhilu's hand, took out the pink beads inside, and made a few gestures on her wrist.

"We stay at Duan's house, and we can often listen to my grandmother's teachings in the future, but my eldest sister is about to get married, and my grandmother's words are written down, framed, and hung on the wall to read every day. "

"If you act recklessly, it's a trivial matter to lose the Duan family's face, but it's a major matter if you can't hold your head up for a lifetime."

She said, raised her eyes, and looked at Mrs. Duan with surprise on her face, "I thought that my eldest sister was scolding me on Qingyun Mountain yesterday, but I didn't expect that it was her who told me what my grandmother wanted to teach in advance. I said it again!"

"It's no wonder that you apologize to me, but this bead string is divided into each sister. It turns out that this bead string is not used to apologize, but to warn the sisters. When the sisters see it, they will think of the grandmother's teachings."

Duan Yi changed the topic of conversation.

"Looking at it from this point of view, I was wrong to blame big sister! You should be the one who was wronged."

"Big sister, you too, are all sisters from the same family, so there is nothing you can't say. If you said early in the morning that you were going to marry the third highness, the sisters next to you should not associate with the fifth highness. If anyone looks around, they will just pull out their eyeballs." That's it."

"I haven't read any books. What you said is too subtle, so I don't understand it. It's like when I said about eating chicken, you think it's too vulgar, and you don't understand it."

As she spoke, she put the string of pearls on the table and stood up.

"The horse is sweating all over, I'm going back to take a shower and change clothes", she said, stood up, and glanced at Gu Xing, "Didn't my brother want to drink chicken soup? Why is mother still sitting here? Someone else did it. Where can a mother do it well?"

As soon as Gu Xing heard about Duan Ming, she immediately became active.

She stood up suddenly, and because of too much strength, she knocked down the chair she was sitting on with a bang.

She saluted carelessly to Mrs. Duan, and said in a loud voice, "Yi'er didn't remind me, I forgot about it. Yesterday I didn't watch for a while, and asked Ming'er to drink some wine secretly, and he coughed a little bit." stay."

"It's time for him to feed him with lily stewed chicken today. Next year, he will have an exam. If he doesn't take care of his body tomorrow, it will be terrible if he faints again."

Duan Yi listened, and looked at Duan Ming with some sympathy.

She felt that this child might not only dig out a hole in the ground, but he should dig out an underground palace with his feet.

The old lady stared at Duan Yi with a gloomy face. She tightly pursed her lips and pulled her fists, obviously already in a rage, overlapping with her appearance when she first arrived in Jiannan Road.

Duan Yi flicked her sleeves, saluted, and walked out swaggeringly.

Gu Xing took a look, stretched out her hand to pull Duan Ming up, and followed quickly, leaving Duan good, neither leaving nor staying, so she had to cough violently.

"Yi'er, Yi'er, do you drink chicken soup? I'll ask someone to bring you a bowl in a while. It's so strange, why are you arguing with your grandmother again? Your eldest sister is going to be a princess. If the Third Highness As a great treasure, isn't our Duan family going to have a queen?"

"Your father is so happy that he can't close his mouth from ear to ear!" Gu Xing said, laughing a few times.

She reached out again and grabbed Duan Yi's arm.

Duan Yi wanted to move forward, but was surprised to find that Gu Xing's hand was like a pair of iron tongs, if she didn't use her inner strength, she couldn't get rid of it at all.

"Amiang also really wants her daughter to be a concubine?" Duan Yi asked complicatedly.

Gu Xing nodded, then shook her head again, "If you are willing to do it, then your parents will think they look good. But if you can't do it, it's good to find a good-looking person to marry. But you must not find an ugly one, then It's about dying."

Duan Yi felt that if she had grown up beside Gu Xing since she was a child, it would not only be a premature death, she would die young!

"Aniang, do you think Eldest Sister has a marriage contract with His Highness the Third Highness?" Duan Yi asked again.

Gu Xing glanced at her in surprise, "What your grandmother said, can it be true?"

As she spoke, she changed the subject on her own, "By the way, this afternoon, your grandmother invited the master from Zhaojue Temple to see the auspicious day of the auspicious day. I'm afraid your elder sister will get married soon."

"In the capital, before a lady from a famous family gets married, her family will let her go to the Zhuangzi to play, just to enjoy the last pleasure of being a daughter. Your grandmother borrowed the famous garden of Jincheng to close the garden."

"Sisters don't have any overnight feuds. If you are angry, you should be angry. You should give it to your eldest sister. You still have to give it away. Otherwise, if the sisters are at odds, it will make your dad feel ashamed. Although my mother doesn't understand, you What are you angry about, what your grandmother said is not wrong!"

"Guan Yuan..." Duan Yi didn't listen to her rambling, but said the word in her heart.
