Xianggui

Chapter 464 Wait until she grows up

Qiu Wangzhi and Mrs. Qiu were in a carriage. Qiu Yuhan, who was tired from playing, fell asleep and was held by the nurse in another car.

The old lady took Qiu Wangzhi's hand and said with a smile, "Wangzhi, grandma has spotted a girl for you."

Qiu Wangzhi's face turned red. His meaning was so obvious, could his grandmother even see it?

He was a little shy, pursed his thin lips and said, "My grandson has a bad reputation and is not worthy of her. She is still young. Wait a few years and I will make better achievements and let her see more of my good qualities." , the certainty will be greater.”

The old lady said, "My grandson is so outstanding that he is worthy of any good girl. Although Mr. Tao is only a fifth-rank scholar and a bit pedantic, Mr. Tao is upright and Mrs. Tao is gentle and polite. Today I see Miss Tao Very good in every way.

"She is indeed still a little young. Let's decide on the marriage first and wait until she is old enough to get married. I will ask the emperor for a marriage, which will make me more sure."

Qiu Wangzhi realized that his grandmother might have misunderstood, and said quickly, "It's not Miss Tao."

The old lady turned her head and looked at him, "Who is it if it's not Miss Tao?"

Qiu Wangzhi blushed, pursed his lips and said nothing.

The old lady understood, grabbed his hand, held it, and said softly, "Do you like Xiangxiang? That child is good, but too good, like the brightest star in the sky. Among all the girls in the capital now, the market price The best is her.

"Talent, appearance, character, sacred heart...if you marry her, you have everything. Don't say that you have a wife and a daughter. Even if you are not married, you can't marry her.

"Although the emperor is willing to use you, he is not willing to marry his most beloved granddaughter to you. There are also the arrogant and brainless Dongyang, the Xun consort who has many prejudices against you, and the Ding family who regard fragrance as their fate, they will not willing……

"My grandson deserves the best girl in the world, but only your grandmother knows how good you are, and they can't even see it..."

Qiu Wangzhi said, "My grandson feels that Princess Xiangxiang has seen it. For some reason, I always feel that she is not like a young lady who has just turned twelve. Her eyes are calm and her thoughts are thoughtful, as if she has experienced a thousand sails. Many of my thoughts, She seems to understand everything..."

Then he laughed at himself and said, "Haha, this is a bit like me. We are both young and mature. Xiangxiang is still young, and the emperor attaches great importance to her marriage and will not propose marriage immediately.

"She is not an ordinary boudoir woman. She is wise and far-sighted, and her ideas are different from those of ordinary women. When she sees more good things about me, she may be willing..."

He said this without confidence, but he just didn't want to give up the beautiful expectations deep in his heart.

The old lady didn't have any hope for her grandson to marry Xunxiang, and said, "Silly boy, Miss Tao is so good. She is pretty, courteous, gentle and virtuous, and she is not that boring gourd.

"If you can marry her, you will have a lot of fun in your future life and the atmosphere at home. Catch the girl you can, and don't wait until the little girl hires someone else. It will be too late to regret."

Qiu Wangzhi shook his head, "Grandma, please give your grandson a few years. I want to wait for her to grow up..."

The old lady looked at her grandson. He had been filial, sensible, quiet, and studious since he was a child, but many misfortunes always accompanied him. I have never seen him smile a few times in my life...

The old lady held his hand tightly. He really missed Miss Xun, so just wait. Only when you give up will you stop thinking about it...

After all the guests had left, Dongyang returned to Qijin Hall, Prince Consort Xun returned to the outer study, and Xun Yibo returned to the outer courtyard. They agreed that they were all tired and that they would each have their own dinner.

The purple courtyard fell silent.

Aunt Wei and a few girls presented the gift list and a bunch of brocade boxes to Xunxiang.

This time, the gifts were all headdresses, either hairpins or hairpins, covering the temples with colorful flowers and a dazzling array of flowers. The Ding family and the Dong family do not give gifts uniformly, but each person gives gifts on their own behalf. Other gifts are mostly given by the family, excluding small gifts from the little girls.

There are three gifts that are special.

It was also a secret gift from Sun Yumu, a red gold silk butterfly bead hairpin. The southern beads are much larger than a pea, round and plump, very precious and beautiful.

As a modern person, Xunxiang accepts gifts from men without any pressure. Thinking of Sun Yumu's "shyness", he laughed unkindly.

The seventeen-year-old boy really has that interest in himself as a little girl, and the twelve-year-old little loli also really falls in love prematurely.

If he is willing to wait for himself to grow up, then he is also willing to wait for him to grow up.

It will be three years before she reaches Jiji. She was not willing to get married at the age of fifteen, and had to wait at least two more years. There are still five years until he turns seventeen, and Sun Yumu is already twenty-two years old by then.

If they are still waiting for each other and are happy with each other, then marry him.

It's also a gift from afar. What Ding Lilai specially asked to bring was a jasper peacock holding beads in its mouth and swaying. It was very beautiful. The little brother has grown up and his aesthetics has also been greatly improved.

The letter was as thoughtful as ever. It was eight pieces of paper. Most of it was about his study and life, and the other half was about asking his sister to pay attention to everything in a strange environment and not to be deceived.

There is another gift from Miss Qiu. The Qiu family gave Xunxiang a gold hairpin as big as a wine cup, and the little girl gave her another gift. If the little girl has a good relationship with him, it is normal to give him a small gift.

But what she gave was a nine-row red gold rosette inlaid with precious hairpins. The nine sapphires were as big as the pulp of the little finger, which was extremely precious.

Such a gift is too thick and inappropriate for a little girl. Xunxiang thought that maybe Mrs. Qiu and Qiu Wangzhi believed that the little girl's improvement was due to Xunxiang's yogurt, so they specially asked the little girl to give her an expensive gift.

After dinner, although Xun Xiang was already very tired, she went to the outer study and asked people to invite Xun Yibo.

The sky has completely darkened, and the third floor of the outer study is brightly lit.

The three of them sat cross-legged in front of a short table. After sending the servants off, Xun Yibo first poured tea for his father, then for his sister and himself.

Xunxiang said that her family should keep a distance from Prince Qi's Mansion.

"If you are a prince, you may fall into the whirlpool of seizing the heir apparent, and I always feel that Prince Qi and Concubine Li are not people who are willing to be lonely. They pretend to be too calm, but on the contrary, they feel very deliberate..."

Prince Consort Xun didn't believe it and shook his head and said, "King Qi doesn't have that intention, does he? He and I only talk about knowledge and never about politics. The emperor is wise and has already made it clear that he will not be considered. It is useless for him to think about it again."

Xun Xiang said, "What if something happens to those princes, or they all lose the emperor's trust? In the end, only he and Prince Duan are left, who will the emperor choose? I have always thought that King Qi is very scheming, and Concubine Li is not a good person." A kind and gentle person.”

Xun Yibo said thoughtfully, "When my sister said this, I also think that King Qi may not be as simple as he appears. Look now, he is very close to my father, and Princess Qi is also close to my mother. Princess Mingshan Make friends with your sister.

"If he is keen on court affairs, our family will become the King of Qi's party."
