Fairview Nongmen Xiaofu Girl

Ruoxuan felt a little guilty: "That being said, my brother and his friends didn't do anything. If they didn't like me, would they send someone to propose marriage?"

Xuanyuan Que could not deny this.

In fact, the Ruo brothers didn't really do anything. They just went back to the academy to attend classes for a day, and then looked troubled.

Classmates would ask them why they were so upset.

Then they said, "As soon as our sister returned to Beijing, someone came to propose marriage, and they didn't want her to get married too early."

Then, the classmates who had feelings for Princess Xuanbao became anxious when they heard this, and asked their parents to go to Princess Xuanbao's house to propose marriage when they got home from school in the evening.

When the parents heard that the proposal was to Princess Wuyou, they had no objection, but they were afraid that the weak family would look down on them.

After all, the Ruo family is no longer the same as it used to be.

And everyone in the capital knows that Princess Wuyou is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

Moreover, Princess Wuyou’s father and uncle were no ordinary people.

When Ruoshui returned to Beijing, the emperor had not yet arranged a position for him. It was unknown whether he would go directly to the cabinet or to the Ministry of Works.

Because the Minister of Works is about to retire.

Many people said that the vacancies in the Cabinet and the Ministry of Works were reserved by the emperor for the two brothers of the Ruo family.

In just five years, Ruoshui cleared out corrupt officials in Jiangcheng, turning the city, which was once rife with corruption, into a place of peace and prosperity, where the people lived in comfort and contentment. He achieved what even the prime minister of the current dynasty could not do.

His political achievements are enough to be recorded in history, and promotion is inevitable.

It was heard that Ruojiang would be transferred back in two months. He had been in the local area for six years and had made remarkable political achievements.

A desolate small county that had to wait for aid from the imperial court every year was transformed into a prosperous small county, a hometown of bamboo fungus, a hometown of medicinal materials, a hometown of fermented black beans, and a major grain-producing county.

From relying on relief from the imperial court to paying taxes to the imperial court every year that were no less than those of some wealthy medium-sized cities.

And it took only six years! This achievement is unrivaled.

That's fine. Among the younger generation of the weak family, there has been a martial arts champion in recent years, and now the emperor is also using him.

It can be predicted that in the next few decades, the weak family will inevitably be rich and powerful.

Therefore, many people in the capital are willing to marry into weak families.

In the past, matchmakers often came to propose marriage to Ruozhou, but unfortunately Mr. Ruozhou refused to meet them because he was busy with work.

Now there is news that someone has started to propose marriage to Princess Wuyou, won't everyone rush over?

Xuanyuan Que looked at Ruoxuan: "You want to get married so soon?"

Ruoxuan said truthfully, "I haven't thought about when to get married. Aren't we just starting to talk about marriage now? Isn't my age the age for ordinary girls to start talking about marriage? Otherwise, why would a matchmaker come to my house to talk about marriage? I am just following the local customs."

Xuanyuan Que: "..."

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

He was speechless again.

Ruoxuan added: "My brothers said that you should take your time to choose a husband. Pick a good one. Don't be in a hurry! Men are..."

Ruoxuan told Xuanyuan Que everything her brothers said about the men outside.

"So I'm not in a hurry. My future husband still needs the consent of my brothers."

Xuanyuan Que didn't say anything after hearing that.

The Queen Mother came to the Ruo family in person and sounded out Lei Po's opinion. She was finally relieved to learn that the Ruo family had no plans to arrange a marriage for Ruoxuan so soon.

She came to the garden happily and took Xuanyuan Que back to the palace.

Now that Ruoxuan has grown up, she and Xuanyuan Que can only meet in the garden and can no longer bring him to her yard openly.

When Xuanyuan Que and the Queen Mother were leaving, they encountered Ruoxian and Ruobo on the way.

The two had just come out of Han Lao's courtyard and saw the Queen Mother and Xuanyuan Que hurriedly bowing. The Queen Mother smiled and said no need to bow.

Xuanyuan Que curled the corner of his mouth and smiled at the two of them!

The two brothers were immediately horrified!

What happened to the Ninth Prince?
Why are you suddenly smiling at them?

I've known him for so many years, but I've never seen him smile!
Except Xuanbao, he ignores everyone.

This sudden smile is so scary!

Have they not offended him recently?

The two brothers began to reflect frantically in their hearts, began to recall, and began to trace back to see if there was any time and place when they accidentally offended this cold-faced prince.

Xuanyuan Que, who understood their thoughts from their expressions, said: "..."

He retracted his smile and left with a stern face.

The next day, during the morning court session, the Minister of Rites presented a memorial to the Emperor proposing to hold a beauty contest in the name of selecting concubines for several adult princes, asking for his approval.

The emperor approved it on the spot.

As soon as the morning court ended, the news was quickly known to all the wealthy families in the capital.

Half an hour later, the imperial edict was posted.

The whole capital city was in an uproar!

Cheers were heard from many mansions.

Then the business of cloth shops, jewelry stores, and rouge workshops suddenly picked up.

In the past two years, the goods in Ruoxuan's cosmetics shop and cloth shop have been basically sufficient to sell, and there has been no shortage of goods.

But as soon as the imperial edict was issued, all the goods in the cosmetics shop were sold out within an hour.

By the afternoon, people who placed orders had to wait a month for the goods to arrive.

So the next day, there were more posts from the weak side!
There is no other way. If you invite someone from a weak family to visit, the gifts they bring will definitely include skin care products or cosmetics, and many of them are products that are not even sold in Xianyan Shop.

In the evening, the two sisters-in-law looked through the posts together to see which ones needed to be dealt with urgently.

There is a thick stack of invitations, and they have to sort them by date. Then they can see which ones they must attend and which ones they can just give gifts.

And we also have to discuss who will attend.

"Why did the lady of the Honglu Temple invite us when her brother from her mother's family has a baby?" He Xinghua was speechless as she looked at the post.

In the past few years, He Xinghua has been reading and learning words every day. Now she is no longer the illiterate He Xinghua.

She is becoming more and more like the mistress of the house.

After all, she is the wife of a third-rank military general, so her aura cannot be bad.

Liu: "Just send a gift, no need to go in person."

It's reasonable for the Lord of the Honglu Temple to invite their family to have a baby, but also for the brother of the wife of the Honglu Temple to have a baby? It's obvious that they want our skin care products.

He Xinghua: "And this, the Duke of Huguo's Mansion held a lotus viewing banquet a few days ago, right? We were not invited at that time! Now it's being held again! It's obvious that they want skin care products too!"

Liu: "Although this is true, the Huguogong Mansion is the Empress Dowager's family home, so I have to go there in person. I'll take Xuanbao with me when the time comes!"

Liu flipped open a post and laughed, "This is even more amazing, take a look! The cat raised by the wife of the Minister of Works has given birth to kittens, and she invited us to attend a full-moon banquet. It's amazing!"

He Xinghua: "That's incredible! It seems that we can no longer give skin care products and cloth as gifts this time. Otherwise, when there are palace banquets and beauty pageants in the future, we will either be giving gifts or on the way to give gifts every day!"

Liu: "That's right."

In the past, my family was poor, so we only had these things to give away. In recent years, my family has made a lot of money, so we have the money to buy whatever gifts we want. (End of this chapter)
