Chapter 71

next day
Duke Chu’s mansion gracefully arranged the things that should be given for engagement, ranging from precious silks and satins, rare jewelry and jade, to sheep, herbs, deer, glue, lacquer, acacia bells, mandarin ducks, pampas grass, Selaginella, relic beasts, blessed beasts, fish, geese, nine sons and so on.

Three teas and six rituals, rare treasures, everything is available.

The red betrothal gifts lined up for several streets, all of which were carried through the market in a ostentatious manner, and were carried from Duke Chu's mansion to Xia's house.

Everyone in Beijing crowded the side of the road, staring dumbfounded and envious.

Duke Chu deserves to be the home of Lu Yan, who is rich in land and rich in food.

The people in Duke Chu's mansion knew that Mrs. Chu had already prepared all these things since his father-in-law's weak crown, adding more and more every year, just waiting for his father-in-law to get married.

After nearly ten years of hard work, it is no wonder that it is much richer than ordinary people.

At the same time, the news that Gao Liguo's eldest son was going to marry the fifth princess also came from the capital.

Inside the embassy station

The eldest son of Goryeo stood by the window with a gloomy face. Hearing the cheerful sound of firecrackers in the distance, his eyes became more gloomy.

The servant walked in slowly, cupped his hands and said:

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, my subordinates have already found out. The fifth princess was in collusion with Wei Jinghuan, the eldest son of the Wei family. Even the resignation of the Wei family and the girl from the Xia family was instigated by the fifth princess."

The eldest son of the Goryeo Kingdom did not expect that, not to mention marrying an unruly and willful princess, this girl would even wear a green hat for himself.

He is the eldest son of the Goryeo Kingdom, the future monarch of the whole Goryeo Kingdom, and he feels disgusted when he thinks that he will marry someone like the Fifth Princess as his wife.

And according to the regulations, after he succeeds to the throne in the future, the next crown prince of Koryo can only be the child of the fifth princess.

He must not allow this to happen.

What he wants to marry is a quiet and intelligent person, definitely not the fifth princess.

Now he sneered and said:

"Go and find out who that Duke Chu is. Even the emperor of the Dazheng Kingdom treated him with courtesy. Why didn't the previous information mention this person?"

The hatred of taking a wife is irreconcilable!
He wants to see what kind of character the other party is!

Xia Keyu didn't expect that she would get engaged so soon after delaying the blessing of the eldest son of Korea.

Anyway, this time, it wasn't Bai Xiaoxiao or her who went to get married, but the fifth princess.

Today, Bai Xiaoxiao came to the house to look for Xia Keyu: "Ke Yu, did you receive the post?"

Xia Keyu asked suspiciously, "What post?"

Bai Xiaoxiao spread her hands to show Xia Keyu, it turned out that in five days, it would be the 66th birthday of Old Man Ning of the Grand Master's Mansion.

"I guess it's because our Xia family doesn't have enough lintels, so we can't afford to climb up to this kind of family." Xia Keyu said calmly.

Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head and said bluntly:
"If it was the Xia family in the past, it would definitely not work. But now that you are not only the county lord, but also engaged to Duke Chu's mansion, the Ning family will definitely send you a greeting card."

Then he said coyly: "Ke Yu, how did you know that Duke Chu? Why did you suddenly get engaged? I was shocked when I heard the news that day."

There was a bit of curiosity in the words.

Xia Keyu had no choice but to lie and said: "Mr. Chu heard that I was speaking out for the handkerchief in his boudoir, and admired my character, so he proposed marriage to me."

This is not something she made up casually, it is Chu Yuan's original words.

Hearing the sound, Bai Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and whispered:
"Ke Yu, don't you feel scared when you see that Duke of Chu? That Duke of Chu is serious and responsible for teaching the crown prince. We juniors dare not talk too much when we see him."

Xia Keyu thought about it carefully, she felt that Chu Yuan's attitude was very kind, and she didn't feel scared, so she shook her head immediately.

Bai Xiaoxiao tugged at the handkerchief in her hand a little irritably, and said:
"My father said that if you marry Chu Guogong, I will be a generation younger than you in the future. When I see you, I have to call you aunt."

Xia Keyu laughed out loud when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "I promise you don't have to call me aunt from that day on, but don't call me old for no reason."

Bai Xiaoxiao still frowned with some confusion and said: "If you get married, I won't be able to go to Duke Chu's mansion to look for you in the future. I'm afraid."

Xia Keyu rubbed her round head and said: "It's something that hasn't been written yet, so don't think about it for so long."

Immediately, he took out a few pieces of precious fabric and said: "In a few days, there will be Mrs. Ning's birthday banquet. You can see which color you like, and I will ask someone to make you a dress."

Bai Xiaoxiao is still a naive little girl at heart, she likes to dress up and dress up, so she immediately became happy when she heard this.

The two called the tailor in the mansion, discussed for a long time, and each ordered a new set of clothes.

"Ke Yu, I'm just waiting for you to go to the banquet with me."

Sure enough, after Bai Xiaoxiao left, Xia Keyu also quickly received the invitation from the Grand Master's Mansion.

Qing Ya carefully looked at the invitation card, although she was illiterate, she still tried to widen her eyes, trying to recognize the words on it.

Then he asked, "Miss, are you going?"

Xia Keyu thought about it, since he was engaged to Duke Chu, he has not shown himself in front of everyone.Why don't you just join in the fun and have a look.

After all, she knew that the fifth princess and the Wei family would definitely not let her go easily. Instead of hiding in the dark and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, she is never afraid of anything.

"Go, since someone posted a post. We have to go to the personal field."

At the same time, the Duke of Chu's mansion
Mrs. Chu was silent when she heard her nurse read the post.

The mother said: "Old Majesty, Mrs. Ning of the Grand Master's Mansion is celebrating her birthday, what gift do we want someone to send over?"

After all, as we all know, the queen's natal family is the Duke Chu's mansion, while Concubine Ning's natal family is the Grand Master's mansion, and the two are naturally at odds.

But on the surface, the crown prince and the third prince are brothers, and they always want to get along. In previous years, they would send someone to give a gift.

Mrs. Chu heard the sound, but asked: "Is the county head of the Xia family going?"

At this moment, the nanny was stunned, and then she smiled knowingly: "Does the old lady want to see her future granddaughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Chu coughed lightly, but did not deny it.only said:
"Yuan'er has been picking for almost ten years, and he picked out such a character for me. I have to see it with my own eyes, lest he be deceived."

The mammy knew it, and asked someone to reply to the post in the Grand Master's Mansion, only saying that Mrs. Chu in the Duke Chu's mansion would also go.

This shocked the people of the Grand Master's Mansion, who didn't know what the old matriarch was doing here.
