Chapter 60 Blind Date Banquet

"By the way, there's also Cousin Ming. I heard that my aunt held a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet last year and picked two young ladies for you. In the end, you made people cry? Didn't your aunt pressure you to choose one this time?"

After Ouyang Yitang and Ouyang Yiming heard this, they wanted to stop this kid's mouth. Finally, Ouyang Yitang's eldest brother Ouyang Yinan came forward and laughed and scolded that the two brothers were out of tune and always bullied their younger brothers. They deserved to be punished. That was the end. ended this "war of words".

It's said to be a flower-viewing banquet, but in the final analysis it's still a blind date banquet for a wealthy family.

After having some snacks and tea, Princess An asked the young men in the pavilion to come over.Then there is the process of appreciating flowers and reciting poems.

A group of ladies stood aside, watching the young people talking to each other, and then exchanging business information.

There are still many girls squeezing to get in through the palace's door, not to mention that none of the men in the Ouyang family are ugly.

Look at the young ladies looking at the dozen or so handsome young men with blushing faces and shy eyes. They looked at each other one after another, but they didn't make any splash.

Princess An was furious when she saw that her son was so indifferent and had nothing to do with her.

He glanced at his son fiercely, then turned to Princess Xiaoyao and Princess Qing, "Brothers and sisters, there are many good ladies here this time. If you like any of them, you should let each other know in advance!"

Princess Xiaoyao smiled and said that Ouyang Yiyun was too young to be impatient, but Princess Qing happily looked at a girl in a goose-yellow skirt and said: "My good sister-in-law, I really have a crush on you!"

Princess Qing's eyes signaled, and the three sisters-in-law looked at each other in tacit understanding.

Princess An said: "The second daughter of Mr. Liu, the Minister of Industry, is seventeen this year. Are you looking for Yiming or Yixiao?"

A girl who is seventeen years old can be considered a big girl. Usually girls will get engaged after they get hair extensions. This seventeen year old girl has not yet been engaged. Although it is to observe filial piety for the elderly, she is indeed a bit older.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's that infuriating bastard!" Princess Qing said, glaring at her second son who was not far away. "Last year, the two girls from the families of the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Hubu were so angry that they cried. , his father almost beat him when he found out!"

Princess Qing was also upset when she talked about her son. She knew how to make his father angry!

"Although the status of this second daughter of the servant's family is not low, she is still not good enough for Yi Ming. Do you want to stop taking a look?" Princess An values ​​​​the most well-matched family, so naturally he would not give his son a good look. She will be a girl from the servant's family.

"Forget it, forget it, he doesn't inherit it, no matter what his status is, as long as there is someone who can control him." Princess Qing looked away.

"I heard that Miss Liu San is also a well-educated and sensible person. She has served as a mourner for her grandmother for three years, which is a good thing." The speaker was Princess Xiaoyao.

"Yes, I think so too. The second child doesn't have to inherit the family. If you marry someone who is too powerful, it will easily lead to disharmony in the family." Princess Qing said with a smile.

"Then there's no need to feel wronged by Yi Ming!" Princess An disagreed: "Miss Liu's identity is suitable for the third child in your family."

The biological mother of the third son of Prince Qing's house, Ouyang Yixiao, was just a concubine, but she was the first woman to follow Prince Qing, and she still had a certain status in Prince Qing's heart.

It's just that I was unlucky. I gave birth to a son, but he died of illness within two years.

The prince made the decision and gave the concubine's son to Princess Qing to raise. What was his intention? Princess Qing didn't want to go into details, as long as her two sons were fine.

"When the time comes, I will let the prince make the final decision on the third child's marriage. After all, it is all the prince's choice. You can't blame me." Princess Qing smiled nonchalantly. She couldn't do such a thankless task. .

Everyone was satisfied with the choice, but if the choice was not good, they thought that she, the head princess, could not tolerate a bastard, but she was not that good.Otherwise, the second and third oldest children wouldn’t get together so often.

Princess Xiaoyao still understands Princess Qing very well.

Their palace only has legitimate sons, and there is no dispute between legitimate sons and concubines. However, in the homes of many adults in the capital, the disputes between legitimate sons and concubines are almost openly displayed for everyone to watch!
"You are just weak!" Princess An glared at Princess Qing, her sister-in-law and best friend, and then said nothing.

After the luncheon, everyone listened to two plays and then dispersed.

Several young masters from the palace also went to their respective mothers, and her mother took them home.

Sure enough, soon after the banquet, news came out that the second son of Prince An was engaged to the second daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs.

In the next few days, the news came that the second son of Prince Qing was engaged to the second daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the third son of Prince Qing was engaged to the second daughter of the minister of the Ministry of War.

The legitimate son and concubine of Prince Qing's palace was engaged to the second daughter of the third-rank minister's family at the same time. As soon as the news came out, there were all kinds of voices. Princess Qing directly blocked it. Outsiders said whatever they liked, but it had nothing to do with her anyway.

Fortunately, there are many high-ranking families in the capital, and there is also a lot of gossip. In a few days, new topics will arise.

Moreover, everyone is busy in various ways during April, May and June, so how can we have extra time to discuss things that are not related to us?

So the time came to June.

Ouyang Yiyun is one year older, and Li Qingzhu in Dapo Village is also ten years old.

Originally this spring, Li Xiao wanted his father to send his third brother to school. Who knew, but his third brother said that his family was very busy this year and he could go to school a year later!
Li Xiao: ...I believe you are a ghost!

But watching her third brother go to the old carpenter's house to steal the mini tricycle made by his master, she suddenly began to reflect. Was she wrong in urging her brother to go to school?
But this only happened for a moment. When she regained consciousness, she still firmly believed that Zhishu Mingshi was right.

Even if my brother does become a carpenter in the end, there are instructions on the drawings. He can't expect others to read them to him. It's best to understand them yourself!

Besides, isn’t there a second brother who serves as a “role model”?

Her second brother must have developed other "interests" in school. Didn't you see that the flesh of the tendon is showing out?

Even though she didn't understand martial arts, since she discovered that her second brother always had iron sand bags tied to his legs, she guessed that he was secretly practicing martial arts.

I just don’t know if my second brother has a professional master to teach him. After all, the school only teaches some archery and equestrian skills, but not martial arts!
Alas, it’s so sad that she, who is just a younger sister, is almost turning into a mother!

"Squeak~" The sound of opening the door came, pulling Li Xiao out of her messy thoughts.

"Ah, it's daddy who's back!" Li Xiao ran over and hugged Li Dashan's legs, raised his head and asked, "Daddy, daddy, how are you? Are you ready?"

Li Dashan put down his backpack, took out the two hares from the basket, scooped out water with a ladle, washed his hands, dried them with a towel, and then picked up his eldest daughter.

"It's done, it's done, let's get up early and go late at night starting tomorrow!" After saying that, he nodded his daughter's forehead, "You girl, other girls wish they had nothing to do every day, but you, you are thinking of going to the mountains. It’s not too tiring to collect goods!”
