After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Xiao Zhen bumped into He Yu, who was looking calm at the side, this He Yu was too calm, right?This future daughter-in-law was about to be snatched away, but he wasn't in a hurry.

It was Wen He who hurriedly said: "Mother, I won't marry her after she belongs to the He family!"

Su Yue said: "You make me seem like I'm going to agree to marry you, Mrs. Wen, although I'm not married yet, I already have a man I like, and it's him, also surnamed He!"

Su Yue pointed to He Yu.

He Zhimin looked at He Yu who was on the side and said, "Mr. He is a good-looking talent and is rare and good-looking. He is really a good match. Please sit down."

Xiao Ning said cheerfully: "I don't want to bother you too much, my aunt and grandma are just busy, Pingping, let's go."

Xiao Ningping only made one rice dumpling, so he reluctantly followed Xiao Ningle away, feeling quite bored.

Wen He returned the [-] taels of silver notes to Xiao Ningle, and upon seeing this, Xiao Ningping put the two tickets He Yu gave her in his arms and said, "This is mine."

Xiao Ning said happily: "You are young, you can't hide such a silver tael."

"I'm not young anymore. I'm already seven years old. If I give you this silver tael, you'll have to spend it again. I'm not stupid."

Xiao Ning coaxed happily: "Then why don't you let your brother hide it for you?"

Xiao Ningping glanced at Xiao Zhen, "Then I don't believe him anymore!"

Xiao Zhen: "..."

Xiao Ningping thought for a while and gave the bank note to He Yu, "Brother, you keep it for me. If I have something to spend, I will come to ask you for a bank note. Can you give me some scattered silver coins first?" ?"

He Yu smiled lightly and accepted the banknote, and gave his purse to Xiao Ningping, "There are three taels of silver here, you spend it first."

"Thank you brother." Xiao Ningping smiled at He Yu.

Xiao Zhen went over to pull Xiao Ningping's pigtail jealously, "You don't trust your own brother or sister, you trust an outsider? When did you have such a good relationship with He Yu?"

Xiao Ningping glared at Xiao Zhen angrily and said, "If you pull my hair again, I'll write a letter to tell my parents that you bullied me!"

Xiao Zhen could only let go of Xiao Ningping's braids, and after she was free, Xiao Ningping went to the street to buy pastries and eat with her purse.

Xiao Zhen looked at He Yu and said, "What kind of ecstasy did you give my sister?"

He Yu said: "Maybe I'm better looking."

Xiao Zhen really couldn't refute He Yu's words. After all, He Yu was really good-looking, and it was easy for a girl like Pingping to like him.

……

He Yongdao originally planned to hold a banquet after the Dragon Boat Festival, even though he rejected Governor Qu's proposal not long ago.

He Yongdao also held a banquet.

But after all, my son is not a royal child who wants to choose a concubine, even if it is a royal child who chooses a concubine to hold a banquet, it is just a pretentious purpose.

So this time Qian Lan and He Yongdao not only invited daughters of merchants in Hangzhou City, but also invited some sons of merchants.

Even if He Yu's marriage fails, it can still make other men and women look at each other. If the marriage is facilitated in the He family, it can be regarded as a good relationship accumulated by the He family.

It's just that Qian Lan didn't expect that there were so many people coming to the banquet today, and the invited merchant women and sons of merchant families all came to the He family for the banquet with two or three official daughters.

Seeing more and more daughters, Qian Lan even ordered people to prepare more pastries and dishes. Qian Lan said to He Baoning, "Why are there so many daughters from officials' families here today?"

He Baoning said: "Mother, you have underestimated how popular my younger brother is among the unmarried daughters in Hangzhou City."

Although Qian Lan originally thought about letting He Yu marry the daughter of an aristocratic and official family, she still felt a little inferior. After all, her family was just a merchant.

He Baoning continued: "My younger brother's mentor, Mr. Gu Yu, is a well-known talent in Datang, and my younger brother is his proud disciple, and his official career will be bright in the future.

Although my younger brother is now a merchant, our He family is also one of the richest businessmen in Datang. Naturally, there are many officials who want to marry He Yu.

It is rare for the He family to hold a banquet, this time all the girls and sons of the right age are invited, outsiders can tell what they are up to at a glance, and those officials' daughters will naturally not miss this opportunity to get close to their younger brother, so they all came. "

Qian Lan was worried and said: "Oh, your father is worried about the empress dowager, and wants your brother to marry only a merchant's daughter, and later hopes that your younger brother will not be interested in the official's daughter, and I don't know where your brother is. Where? There was no one there early in the morning."

……

In the palace.

When Xiao Ningle woke up, he only felt hot. The weather in the south of the Yangtze River was so sweltering and uncomfortably hot. Even if there were ice cubes in the room, it was still hot. The palace was built beside the mountain, so it was so sweltering.

When Xiao Ningle opened her eyes, she realized that she had wronged Jiangnan's heaven, and it was He Yu who held her in his arms.

"He Yu!"

He Yu felt Xiao Ningle's struggle, and slowly let her go: "Huh?"

"Didn't your He Mansion hold a banquet today and ask you to see if there is a daughter who is close to your eyes? It's too late now, why don't you go?"

Xiao Ning was happy to see the sky outside, she also became more and more lazy, and even fell asleep until Sishi.

He Yu hugged Xiao Ning and said happily: "I'm not going, I'm not a son of the royal family and I'm doing something like choosing a concubine. I told my parents that I have someone I like, but they just don't believe it."

Xiao Ningle moved away He Yu's hand on her waist and said: "I will let Su Yue accompany you to go there later, and give your parents a reassurance that they will not rush your marriage for the time being. "

He Yu looked at Xiao Ning sullenly and said happily: "Niannian, Su Yue is also an unmarried woman after all, and this will hurt her reputation. It's fine in front of Xiao Zhen. I don't want to deceive my father." mother.

What's more, my father is afraid of you now. If he knows that the person I like is Su Yue, he will ignore my wishes and force me to marry him by choosing a rich merchant to express his loyalty to you. "

Xiao Ningle couldn't understand He Yu's words: "What kind of loyalty is this? Why is it that you are loyal to me when you marry the daughter of a merchant?"

He Yu said: "You also know that since Xiao Zhen was born, the voice of changing reserves has never stopped, and there are also many courtiers who want to help Xiao Zhen win the reserve and make a contribution to the dragon.

Originally, we only thought that my sister was a side concubine, so I didn't worry about my marriage. After I got the honor in the examination, I could also go to the official family's daughter.

Now that my sister is the princess, our He family is Xiao Zhen's family, so my marriage is also related to His Royal Highness King Jing's marriage. If I marry the daughter of a high-ranking official, that official can become Xiao Zhen's help and compete with you. Grab the crown prince?
My father has always disapproved of a woman being the crown prince, but he also strives for stability and loyalty.

Since Your Majesty recognizes you as the crown prince, our He family must also be loyal. If I marry a merchant daughter, it will be regarded as breaking the huge family of Xiao Zhen's wife.

So if my father knows that the person I like is Su Yue, he will only break us up and let me marry another merchant girl as soon as possible. "

Xiao Ningle really didn't think about it so much, "Your father is worrying too much, Xiao Zhen and I are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother, so why would we fight each other for the crown prince?

My father is only in his late forties now, and he is in very good health, at least he can still be the emperor for 20 or 30 years. He also thinks too much. "

He Yudao: "But my father thinks that the royal family has no father, son or brother."

Xiao Ningle understands why He Yongdao deliberately mentioned the word merchant woman in front of her that day, it was to show his loyalty, but it is only now that she knows the good intentions of the He family.

He Yu said annoyedly: "So even if I am beaten to death tomorrow, I will definitely not go home today. You can rest with me for a while. After my father beats me tomorrow, I may have to lie in bed for ten and a half months before I can see you." gone."
