Chapter 224 Suiyi
Madam Hou thought for a while, and said: "There is nothing difficult to deal with, just say that the marriage contract that Old Master Hou made before his death is placed in a brocade box.

The old Hou Ye told on his deathbed that Brother Le can only open it when he reaches the age of marriage negotiation. We have no choice but to obey the old Hou Ye's last wish.

It's where the empress is, the concubine has to report to the empress, so that the empress knows. "

Shi Jingyang lowered his head and rubbed Madam Hou's face, "Mother, you are so kind."

Madam Hou bluffed and said, "When did my mother get sick?"

Shi Jingyang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Auntie is the best."

Seeing his wife's answer, Hou Ye finally let go of his suspended heart.

Said: "Brother Le is going to be a consul in Daying, Gyeonggi. Time is running out, madam will go to the palace to report to the empress first, and then ask someone to go to the Ning family to propose marriage."

Mrs. Hou was taken aback, and asked, "Isn't Brother Le the consul in the East Palace? Why are you going to the Gyeonggi Daying again?"

Lord Hou said: "Here in the East Palace, Brother Le is only a temporary consul. We are the family of generals. Brother Le will go to the barracks sooner or later."

Hearing what Lord Hou said, Madam Hou didn't ask any more questions, "Okay, the concubine will go into the palace to see the empress, and then go to the Duke's mansion to tell his mother about Brother Le's marriage. The matchmaker will wait until the state The government will come back and make more arrangements."

After seeing Madam Hou off, Shi Jingyang turned his head and bowed deeply to Lord Hou, "Thank you, Father!"

Hou Ye glanced at him, turned around and went to sit behind the desk, pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down."

Shi Jingyang poured a cup of tea for Lord Hou before walking over to sit down.

Master Hou picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, and said, "The transfer of Xu Guanjie to the imperial court as a bodyguard has basically been settled.

You went to the military camp this time, just in time for the big exercise at the end of October. This time the exercise is mainly about drills and formations. You should cherish this opportunity and train yourself well.
Shi Jingyang understood what his father meant, and bowed in response, "Thank you for your guidance, my son has noted it down."

"Go and do your work!" Master Hou reached out to pick up the book on the table and looked down.

Shi Jingyang bowed and said goodbye.

After Shi Jingyang exited the room, Lord Hou leaned back in the chair and sighed slightly.

Regarding the son's marriage, although he and A Rong nodded, but at Chengguo's mansion...

Alas, Sister Yi was brought up by her mother-in-law. With her mother-in-law's protective nature, it may not be so easy to get over.

Madam Hou came out of the palace and went directly to Duke Cheng's mansion.

Mrs. Cui just woke up from her lunch break, and Mrs. Li was serving her bird's nest porridge.

After hearing the servant's report, Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Li were taken aback for a moment. After they looked at each other, Mrs. Cui handed the bowl in her hand to Mother Qiao and said, "Please come in."

After the servants retreated, Mrs. Li asked, "Mother, why are you here at this time?"

Mrs. Cui was also puzzled, she shook her head and said, "I don't know either, just wait and see."

Mrs. Li had a bad premonition in her heart. She always felt that nothing good would happen if my sister-in-law came here at this time.

After a while, the servants led Mrs. Hou to Fu'an Hall.

Mrs. Hou greeted Mrs. Cui first, and then Mrs. Li.

When the servants served tea, Mrs. Cui looked at Mrs. Hou, and asked straight to the point: "Why is Ah Rong here at this time? Is there something wrong?"

Madam Hou took a sip of her tea, put the teacup on the table, and said with a smile, "I have a difficult matter to discuss with my mother and sister-in-law."

Madam Hou's heart was hanging, and she spoke cautiously.The mother's temperament is too strong, from childhood to adulthood, she needs to be very energetic when speaking in front of her mother.

"Troublesome matter? What's the matter?" Mrs. Cui asked.

Madam Hou said the speech she had prepared in advance, watching the expressions of her mother and sister-in-law while speaking.

Before Madam Hou could finish her sentence, Madam Cui slapped the table heavily and glared angrily at Madam Hou.

"How many years has it been since the old Hou Ye in your house? Now you are talking about something. Since there is a marriage contract, why did you go so early? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Mrs. Li took the words, "That's right, his aunt, are you dissatisfied with our sister Yi, so you find such an excuse to prevaricate us.

Sister Yi was also raised by you, how can she not compare to that young lady from the Ning family? "

Mrs. Hou thought that her mother and sister-in-law would be unhappy, but she didn't expect that mother and sister-in-law didn't believe in a marriage contract at all.

"Mother, sister-in-law..."

Mrs. Cui raised her hand to stop Mrs. Hou from talking, and said impatiently: "A Rong, you don't need to say more. If you still recognize me as your mother, you can discuss the marriage between Brother Le and Sister Yi as soon as possible."

Once Mrs. Cui said this, Mrs. Hou was really embarrassed.

"Mother, the marriage contract is true. How dare my daughter lie to you? The marriage contract is now in the hands of the master."

Mrs. Cui patted the table twice, "So what if there is a marriage contract? Brother Le is the grandson of Lord Hou, and also my grandson. You go back and tell Brother Le, if he doesn't listen to the old man, he is not filial."

"Mother, why are you bothering?" Mrs. Hou said in panic.

Mrs. Cui said: "Ah Rong, I don't need to say more, I already understand what I mean. Go back and tell Brother Le, if he still recognizes the relatives of the Duke's Mansion, he will find a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, and marry Sister Yi as soon as possible." Marry back, and live a good life with Sister Yi from now on. Mother Qiao, send my little aunt home."

"Mother!"

"Grandma, please!" Mother Qiao bowed.

Mrs. Hou still wanted to argue a few words, thought for a while, and sighed. She blessed the old Mrs. Cui who was headed up, and then blessed Mrs. Li before turning around and going out.

When Shi Jingyang heard that Mrs. Hou had returned home, he hurried to his father's study.

Standing under the veranda, He Guanshi saw Shi Jingyang approaching, bowed to him, and planned to enter the room to report.

Shi Jingyang stopped him and said, "Uncle He, you don't need to report, I'll go in directly."

When Shi Jingyang walked to the door, he could not help slowing down when he heard his mother sobbing.

"Mother, why is she like this? Sister Yi is her granddaughter, and Brother Le is also her grandson. She cares about Sister Yi and thinks about Sister Yi. Why can't she think about Brother Le? Master Hou I don't know how sad my concubine was when my mother said that."

"Okay, don't be sad. Turn around, let's persuade Brother Le again." Master Hou persuaded in a gentle voice.

"No! On this matter, I will not give in.

The mother is eccentric. Since she was a child, she only has her elder sister and elder brother in her eyes. The concubine has already suffered enough grievances. Why should the concubine's children be wronged?
Men in other families have three wives and four concubines. Men in our family cannot take concubines, and they cannot divorce their wives. Once married, it will last forever.

If Geer Le married someone he didn't like, he would have no one to talk to for the rest of his life. It would be pitiful to think about it.

Therefore, in terms of marriage, the concubine wanted to do what Brother Le wanted and let him marry whoever he wanted. "
