my wife is wonderful

Chapter 138 Yongqing awaits the crown prince

As soon as Geng Xingshuang's words came out, not only Geng Xingchen was stunned, but she herself was also stunned.

"Sixth sister..."

Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "It's nothing. Maybe my grandfather was too sad because of the sudden death of his second uncle!"

On this occasion, it was not appropriate to say much. Mrs. Qie Bo was standing next to Geng Cheng's coffin. She didn't want to offend her now. Who knew what she could do when she was so distraught.

In the following time, the uncle's house held the funeral ceremony step by step, and relatives and friends of the Geng family also came to express their condolences.

Some of them came to see Geng Cheng who was seriously injured not long ago, and a few of them even contributed to the investigation of what happened on the night of the Duanyang Festival. blurry silhouette.

Therefore, there is something more in the eyes of some people looking at Geng Wen and Geng Yan, but the eyes are extremely obscure, and those who are not particularly sensitive will not be able to detect it.

Geng Yan didn't feel it, but Geng Wen noticed it.

However, he had a clear conscience regarding Geng Cheng's sudden death, so he accepted those looks quite calmly.

His appearance, on the contrary, dispelled the doubts in those people's hearts, maybe everything was just speculation.

The Ruan family, Yao family, Jiang family and other in-laws also came.

People from the Yang family also came. Yang Qingmo was still taking part in the Autumn Imperial Examination, so of course he couldn't come. The ones who came were Yang Shaoshan, the eldest son of the Yang family, Yang Qingshu, the second son Yang, Yang Qingbi, the fourth master Yang, and Yang Qingcheng, the fourth master. The fifth master Yang, Yang Qingyong, and the female relatives are the eldest wife of Yang, the Chu family, and the second young wife of Yang, the Zeng family.

The Yang family seemed to attach great importance to the uncle's mansion after all these battles.

Mrs. Jiang was eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the Meng family in Yongqing Houfu. The third wife of Yongqinghoufu, Mrs. Shen, was the cousin of Mrs. Jiang's aunt. The sixth young master of Yongqinghoufu was the only son of the third wife. Although he is average in martial arts, he is gentle and courteous, and has the backing of the Yongqing Marquis, so the Jiang family has always wanted to marry Geng Xingchen to Master Meng Liu.

The Shen family is also willing, but after all, Master Meng Liu is the only legitimate son of the third family of Yongqing Houfu. Although Yongqinghoufu cannot be compared with the top hairpin families such as Zhenguo Gongfu, Dingguo Gongfu, and Yongkang Houfu. , but compared to the Anping Mansion, which was already in such a state of decline, the situation of the Yongqing Marquis Mansion was obviously much better.

Therefore, in Yongqinghou's mansion, from Mrs. Hou to Mr. Meng, they didn't think highly of Uncle Anping's mansion, and they always had an ambiguous attitude towards Mrs. Shen's proposal of marrying the third wife of Uncle Uncle's mansion.

Neither explicitly opposed nor actively promoted.

This made Mrs. Jiang very anxious. Sometimes she wanted to give up, and sometimes she was unwilling to give up.

Since Jiang's relationship with Ruan's improved, she also asked Ruan's opinion. Ruan felt that the Yongqinghou Mansion was too big. Even if Mrs. Meng San and Jiang were related, they were distant relatives, and they did not have much contact with each other on weekdays. Many, and Mrs. Ruan has also seen the relationship between the third wife of Meng, Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Sun, the wife of the eldest son. Mrs. Sun is strong, Mrs. Shen is weak. In the days to come, it may only sound good on the outside, but not necessarily good on the inside.

It's just that Mrs. Ruan couldn't say this clearly, so she could only give a subtle reminder when Mrs. Jiang mentioned the marriage.

But obviously Jiang didn't listen.

The people from the Yongqing Marquis Mansion came not too late. About a quarter of an hour after the Yang Mansion, they heard the servants outside the mourning hall reporting that someone from the Yongqing Marquis Mansion had come to express their condolences.

Jiang's face was filled with joy, feeling that she finally didn't lose face. No, it wasn't that she didn't lose face, but that she gained face.

After all, Geng Xingshuang and Yang Qingmo are already engaged, and the Yang family does not have a title now, but the Marquis of Yongqing is different. However, Yongqing Hou Shizi served as the deputy commander of the sixth grade in Wucheng Bingmasi. Although the official position cannot be said to be high, it is a real position, not a false title. This is more than half of Ningdu City. A distinguished family is also rare.

It's just that Jiang's smile didn't last long. Ever since the servant reported the news, she has been paying attention to the people entering the mourning hall.Naturally, she hoped that the visitors would be the eldest son, his wife, and the third master and his wife from the Yongqing Marquis Mansion, but she also knew in her heart that the eldest son and his wife would not come.

It's just that when she saw that it was really Prince Meng and his wife, Mrs. Sun, she was not happy, but felt something was wrong.

The crown prince Yongqing and his wife came, but the third master, the third wife, and the sixth master Meng, who should be closer to each other, did not show up.

Geng Xingshuang also felt that something was a little strange.

Except for the third aunt Jiang, the rest of their family had no friendship with the Yongqinghou Mansion. According to Yongqinghou's past behavior style, if Geng Cheng passed away and the third wife of the Meng family could show up, it would already be regarded as giving face to the Geng Mansion.

Does Geng Cheng have such a big reputation?
Maybe it's not Geng Cheng who has face, but someone else.

With Geng Xingshuang thinking like this, Jiang already pulled Geng Xingchen over.

"The prince, the prince's wife..."

Before Ms. Jiang could finish her words, Prince Meng and his wife had already passed her. They first bowed to Geng Cheng’s spiritual place, lit incense, and then walked up to Ms. Yao, “My condolences, Mrs. Geng!”

The tone is gentle, polite but polite.

Yao was a little dazed. She didn't know the Crown Prince Yongqing, and she was just an acquaintance with the Crown Prince's wife, Sun. What they did this time made her very confused.

Even Mrs. Xia, who had been in grief, stopped crying and stared at this scene with anger in her eyes.

Geng Xingshuang suddenly felt a little ironic. No matter what the reason for what the Yongqing Marquis Prince and his wife were doing today, it was obviously for the second house. But since Mrs. Uncle is here, it stands to reason that no matter how eager they are for quick success and quick gain, It was time to express condolences to Mrs. Xia first, instead of ignoring her and going directly to Mrs. Yao.

Geng Xingshuang didn't know whether they did it on purpose or if they were careless.

"This...you..."

Yao felt that his brain was a little weak, and he didn't know how to respond.

It was Geng Shulou who got up from the futon, bowed his hands to Prince Meng and his wife, and bowed deeply to the end, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Thank you both for coming to see my father off for the last time. I am deeply grateful!"

"My dear nephew, there is no need to see him outside. Brother Li Jie passed away at an early age. After I heard about it, I was extremely shocked and hurt. My dear nephew, please don't be too sad. If you are too emotionally drained by the loss of your father and hurt your body, I would like to come to Li Jie." Brother, you can’t feel at ease even under the Nine Springs. From now on, you will be the support of your mother, brothers and sisters. Remember to take care of yourself as a filial piety!"

Meng Shizi patted Geng Shulou on the shoulder and addressed Geng Cheng directly to show his closeness. His attitude was gentle and unusual, like a family friend who had been with him for many years.

Geng Xingshuang, Geng Xingchen and Jiang's Ruan were both surprised by Prince Meng's affectionate and familiar attitude, but the person involved, Geng Shulou, didn't seem surprised. He still had sadness on his face, but he nodded obediently and said: "I listen to Prince Meng." , I will take good care of my health and be the support of my mother and siblings."

"Call me Shibo. Calling me Shizi is too far-fetched!"

Geng Shulou followed the good example and said, "Shibo!"
