Splendid glory of a girl from another world

Chapter 251 Lord
Li Qiusui and Xia He returned to the warm hall and found Liu. Seeing that she was safe and sound, she was taken away by Miss Chen before they could say a word.

"Sister Yan asked me to take care of you, but I couldn't find you anywhere. Madam Liu is with my mother and the others. The banquet is about to start, let's find a place to sit down."

Xia He couldn't help but say goodbye to Miss Chen's kindness, and explained, "I just met my brother, and he was worried that we wouldn't be able to handle it for the first time at a banquet, so he said a few more words. Thank you for your concern, and we sisters should have told each other in advance."

Miss Chen felt embarrassed when she saw Xia He's sincere attitude. "It was Sister Yan who told me just now that she wanted to accompany the princess. You didn't know about it before. It's also because we have similar personalities that I wanted to talk to you."

Li Qiusui also said: "We also want to talk with you..."

Neither of them was a stingy person, so once they started talking, they held hands and found a place to sit down.

Miss Chen whispered the latest gossip she had received, "The Ninth Princess has also reached the age for marriage. Word has been spread in the palace before that the princes who have not yet married may soon be able to choose a princess."

Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Even the royal family cannot be vulgar.

No wonder the Zheng family held a banquet at this time. Not to mention that the Ninth Princess was the Queen's biological daughter, even if the prince was choosing a concubine, she, as his stepmother, could not stand idly by.

As a close friend, Mrs. Zheng couldn't stay out of it. Of course she had to take the initiative to prepare the banquet and help warm up the party in advance.

Then when the new year comes, the Queen's family, that is, the family of Marquis Ding'an who accompanied the Ninth Princess today, as well as the royal nobles, princes and nobles, should also find an excuse to hold a banquet, which is actually to help the royal family choose.

After the New Year, the capital city becomes lively.

The two sisters believed that these had little to do with the Li family.

Xia He has already been engaged; Li Changan is probably not qualified to marry yet; Li Qiusui’s situation cannot be hidden from the royal family, unless she is willing to be a concubine of some prince, which may be a long way off.

Others think we are far inferior to them, but Li Qiusui thinks she is as beautiful as a flower. What if some blind man falls in love with this country girl?
I have to go back and discuss it with her father and eldest brother, just to prepare for a rainy day! Make a rule for the Li family, just like some scholars say that they don't give birth to children or take concubines after a certain age.

Their family had to do the same, with the added rule that they could not send their daughters as concubines.

Seeing that the two sisters were not interested, Miss Chen sighed, "Why do you two look like that? Didn't you see that so many girls came to the Zheng family today? The Ninth Princess came, but you didn't seem very enthusiastic."

"You too, why don't you come forward?" After getting familiar with each other, Xia He was no longer as polite as she was at the beginning. "We have only been in Beijing for a short time. We can't even recognize people's faces, let alone sort out the messy relationships. What if we get involved and make a fool of ourselves?"

Miss Chen thought about it and it made sense. "Well! With time, you will naturally be able to sort it out. It won't hurt to go out to banquets like this more often and get to know more people."

His eyes rolled, and he said mysteriously, "Since Madam Liu and Madam Zheng have become godparents, you should know Zheng Yan's brother, right?"

This is Zheng Ying! The two sisters looked at each other and nodded.

Miss Chen perked up, "Master Zheng is only one year older than the Ninth Princess. I heard that Madam Zheng often brought him to the palace when he was a child, so he has known the Ninth Princess since they were young. If they hadn't returned to their hometown and lived there for a few years a few years ago, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were childhood sweethearts."

In a flash, Xia He murmured, "No wonder the Ninth Princess came to the Zheng family..." Mrs. Zheng asked her two daughters to accompany her.

She said that they were just close friends, of noble status, and his courtesy was a bit too much.

And Zheng Ying was so anxious that she even said those words to Sui Sui in front of her and Chang An...

Xia He looked at Li Qiusui.

Li Qiusui naturally thought of what Xia He could think of. She even doubted Mrs. Zheng's intention in inviting them to her house today.

Madam Zheng is amazing. Is she trying to kill several birds with one stone? She has expressed everything she wants to say and cannot say. Li Qiusui secretly pinched her sister's fingers and said that she would talk about anything when she got home.

Xia He had a bad look on her face, but when she saw that Li Qiusui looked normal, she felt relieved.

It's really not appropriate to say more at this time.

Xia He could more or less guess the purpose of Liu's visit to the Zheng family. She didn't know if her mother had heard about it. Who knew how angry she must be?

When I saw Liu, I saw that she looked unhappy.

Before they even stepped out of the Zheng family's door, Liu carefully held Li Qiusui's hand all the way.

Li Qiusui was flattered. Except for the few years when she went to Zheng's house as a child, she seldom went home. It was only when they first met that her mother would hug her and be affectionate with her.

It has been many years since I was treated so gently.

After the family got together and got on the carriage, Liu didn't say a word along the way.

"Sui Sui, go back with your sister. Go change your clothes and stretch your body."

Liu sent her two daughters away and left Li Sanzhu to talk to her two sons.

When she thought the people had gone far away, Liu slapped the table and said, "The Zheng family is too much! We have been in the capital for so long, why did they invite us to their house only today? It turns out that the Shangzhu has such a good thing, and he is showing off to us! It is our fault that we are allowed to be bullied."

Li Sanzhu asked: "What happened? I just heard a few words from someone at the end."

Li Changan said: "The Zheng family intends to let Zheng Ying be the consort."

He only heard about this after his sister and Suisui left and rejoined the crowd.

If he had known this earlier, he would have given that kid Zheng Ying a good beating.

Even after knowing his family's plan, he came to his sister and said those words. Fortunately, he didn't leave the two of them alone, otherwise Sui Sui's silly look might have bewitched him again.

"Mom, being angry is bad for your health. Please sit down and have a cup of tea first." Li Changshan helped his mother sit down. "If I can't do it, I'll go back to Linshan County. With our family's current status, it won't be difficult to help Sui Sui find a good family. With the help of us brothers, Sui Sui will also have a chance to succeed. It's not bad to live a long and steady life."

Li Qiusui's marriage needs to be arranged as soon as possible, otherwise even more unpleasant things will be said in the future.

There is no wall that is impenetrable. Although the matter of getting married for the first time is not known to everyone in Linshan County, it will be revealed to the public once someone with ulterior motives finds out.

Whether it was the rumor that his family wanted to curry favor with the Zheng family, or that his sister was still obsessed with them, his family would suffer.

Although she understood the reason, Liu was unwilling to give in. "My family is so well off every year. It's all our fault! If it weren't for us, what kind of man would she not be worthy of?"

She glared at Li Sanzhu, "Hurry up and find me a boy who is better than the Zheng family. Aren't you good at growing crops? Then go and grow some crops, so that the grain production can increase... and then give me rewards, so that the emperor can help our family get married every year..."

All solutions are good solutions.

"All these take time. Don't worry, our marriage will be good in the future..." Li Sanzhu tried to comfort his wife.
