my wife is wonderful

Chapter 149 "Marriage Proposal"

Geng Xingshuang thought she would have insomnia tonight. After all, the contrast between her day and that day was too big. During the day, she was still shopping with Yang Qingmo and Geng Shuhuai, and in the evening she went to Tao's house to attend a funeral. Geng Xingshuang thought of when she and Zhu Yan left. When he paid homage to Mother Tao's soul, Bai, who was in the dilapidated room, sighed deeply in his heart.

She didn't know if she wanted the government to find out something, or if they couldn't find anything at all. Tao Yuyu's mother just died of illness.

After thinking about it, I don't know when I fell asleep. I fell asleep very deeply. When I woke up again, there was a hazy light coming from the window.

I had a dream all night, and the scenes in the dream were changing and confusing. Even if I woke up now, the scene in the dream that I didn't know when and where flashed in my mind from time to time.

"Looks like I had that weird dream again!" She murmured to herself. Only the world in that dream could have such colorful lights.

"Grumpy"

Geng Xingshuang's stomach growled, she was hungry.

"I didn't eat last night." Geng Xingshuang suddenly remembered that after leaving Tao's house last night, Yang Qingmo originally proposed to take them to eat something together, but Geng Xingshuang felt not hungry, tired and in a bad mood. So I don’t want to walk an extra mile just to fill my stomach.

I wasn't hungry until bedtime last night. "I thought I woke up from a nightmare, but I didn't expect that I woke up because I was hungry!"

She muttered to herself, wanting to go back to sleep again. After all, she still felt very sleepy, but she couldn't seem to bear the hunger and kept moaning.

After hesitating on the bed, Geng Xingshuang jumped up. Just for a moment, the sky was completely bright. He probably heard the movement inside, and Jinbao asked softly outside the door: "Is the girl awake?"

"Well, I'm awake!" Geng Xingshuang got out of bed and opened the door.

"I thought the girl would sleep a little longer today. Please wait a moment. I will go get some water now."

Jinbao was a little surprised to see Geng Xingshuang put on all his clothes.

Geng Xingshuang was about to say that she was hungry and asked her to go to the kitchen to get two steamed buns, but Jinbao ran too fast and disappeared before she could speak.

Forget it, go to the kitchen later.

Geng Xingshuang finished washing and just stepped out of the house when she saw her second brother walking out with a look of shame on his stomach. In order to see her back last night, Geng Shuhuai also rested in the inner courtyard.

"Second brother, do you have diarrhea?"

Geng Xingshuang blurted out, "Did you steal something last night?"

Geng Shuhuai's face turned green and he glared at his sister, "I'm hungry. My stomach hurts because of hunger. I grumbled all night last night. If I don't get something to eat, I won't be able to get up. You tell me, No matter how bad you feel, you still have to eat. Last night Yang Liu said he was going to eat, but if you didn’t go, I would starve to death!"

"Who do you think I am!"

Geng Shuhuai complained, but before he finished speaking, he heard Geng Wen's voice coming from the main room.

"His ears are pretty good!" Geng Shuhuai muttered in a low voice, and Geng Xingshuang pursed her lips and smiled.

Geng Shuhuai glared at her.

Geng Xingshuang ignored him and walked out.

"where are you going?"

"I'll go to the kitchen to get the steamed buns." Geng Xingshuang said.

"Then I'll go too. Well, now if I have a bowl of hot mutton noodles, plus meat buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk, it would be better to have some donkey meat sesame seed cakes. The taste...isn't good anymore. I'll make you even hungrier!"

The glutton that Geng Xingshuang asked him to talk about also got up, and he no longer wanted to go to the kitchen to eat steamed buns.

"Second brother, let's go out to eat!"

"your treat?"

"My treat." "Come on, let's go!"

The brother and sister did not take a carriage early in the morning. They found a nearby restaurant and sat down to eat a bowl of hot mutton noodles. They also bought steamed buns and meatloaf from a nearby shop. Come out.

Geng Xingshuang didn't forget to bring one for her parents.

When bringing breakfast to Geng Wen and Ruan family, Geng Xingshuang heard a piece of news from them.

It turned out that when they were out yesterday, someone came to propose marriage to Geng Xingbing.

"Second uncle just passed away..." Geng Xingshuang suddenly thought of Prince Ping walking side by side with Geng Xingbing on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Sure enough, they heard Ruan say: "The person who came here is the nun from His Royal Highness Prince Ping's house. It's not actually a proposal of marriage. It's just a notice that they will come to the house in three days to pick up the fourth girl."

"Concubine?" Geng Shuhuai was surprised.

Ruan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Nonsense, Prince Ping has already married a wife."

"Then...then grandfather agrees? Second aunt agrees? And Geng Shulou also agrees?"

"Of course I agree. They are eager to do it. They also asked us to come up with 500 taels of silver within three days, which will be counted as the silver for the fourth girl."

Geng Xun previously asked for 2000 taels of silver, but after being rejected by Geng Wen and Geng Yan, he now settled for the next best thing and reduced the price by more than half.

"Dad, did you agree?" Geng Xingshuang asked.

Geng Wen nodded, "So what if I don't agree? He is Prince Ping, the biological son of the imperial concubine. There is no crown prince yet. Now the eldest prince, Prince Li, and the third prince, Prince Ping, have the loudest voices. If Prince Ping takes the throne in the future, so... it is not good at the moment. reject."

Previously, Geng Xun asked for 2000 taels for each of the three bedrooms of the big house, which was calculated based on the upper limit of the family's financial resources for the two bedrooms. As soon as this money came out, the family's financial resources were emptied, and he didn't know when he would be able to recover. Moreover, Geng Xun did not have any money at that time. It was made clear who Geng Xingbing wanted to marry, so Geng Wen and Geng Yan almost refused on the spot, leaving no room for error.

Things are different today.

Geng Cheng died suddenly. Although it was not directly related to the third room of the big house, if Geng Wen and Geng Yan were said to have no guilt, it was not true either. Now Geng Xingbing had climbed up to Prince Ping and was admitted to Prince Ping's palace during the period of hot mourning. Whether it was due to consideration of the future situation or any trace of guilt towards Geng Cheng, Geng Wen and Geng Yan agreed to the 500 taels of silver without much thought.

Geng Wen's answer was not surprising to Geng Xingshuang, and Geng Shuhuai just "tsk tsk" twice. He didn't know what to think about this matter and did not express any objection.

Anyway, it's a done deal.

What Geng Xingshuang was thinking about was whether there might be any relationship between the visit from Prince Ping's palace yesterday and the death of Tao Yuyu's mother yesterday.

Except for Chu Yin, Geng Xingbing has no one else available, but King Ping is different. But will Geng Xingbing tell King Ping about his life experience?If she has determined her life experience.

And would Prince Ping commit murder to silence a concubine who had not married yet?
Get angry and become a beauty?

This is too...too...unlike a prince who is in the midst of imperial power and is plotting all his plans to seize the throne.

"Father, mother, second brother, I think there is something I need to tell you."

Come, come, Geng Shuhuai's eyes were bright. He didn't sleep well last night. Not only was he hungry, but the most important thing was that no one could help answer the curiosity in his heart.

In order to get the answer faster, Geng Shuhuai controlled himself not to talk too much and just listened.

Geng Xingshuang told Geng Wen, Ruan Shi, and Geng Shuhuai what she had guessed and investigated these days.

"I think Mother Tan should have known about it. I originally thought this matter had nothing to do with our family, but now that the fourth sister has entered Prince Ping's Mansion, we can't predict what will happen in the future. Now that the Tao family has reported it to the government, it only depends on Aunt Tao's fate. How she died, but I didn’t know that the fourth sister had such a close relationship with Prince Ping’s Mansion. Even if there is indeed something fishy about Aunt Tao’s death this time, I’m afraid it will be difficult to catch the culprit.”

Geng Xingshuang just hoped not to involve the Tao family.

Just as he was talking, Yang Qingmo came over.
