Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 177
As soon as Yu Yaofang was sent away, Lin Ke rushed in. Before Li Tian got up, she rushed to the front of the kang and shouted, "Yaoyao is going to marry Yao Shishi! Have you heard?" Li Tian Quickly straightened up and pulled Lin Ke to sit on the kang: "I heard, how do you know?"

"The Yao family went to my house and said that my aunt is familiar with the Qingjiang Houfu, so I asked my aunt to be a matchmaker."

Li Tian's heart moved slightly, and she was about to ask more questions, but Lin Ke had already said what she was about to ask: "My mother is very upset, she said that Qingjianghou's mansion and Yao Xianggong's family have married, and the marriage certificate has been issued , she didn't know at all, she said she didn't expect Mrs. Xu to be so thoughtful, and then she went to Qingjianghou's mansion, and I came to you. Four, even my elder brother said that he is as easy to coax as a fool, and he believes everything people say. Didn’t you say that people with soft ears can’t marry? Besides, he is a libertine, and even I don’t want to marry him. How could Yaoyao marry such a person?"

"Don't worry, Qingzhi is going to make a cup of scented tea for Er Niangzi." Li Tian patted Lin Ke and said, "Yaoyao just left."

"What's Yaoyao thinking? She really wants to marry that prodigal son?" Lin Ke interrupted Li Tian anxiously. Li Tian watched Qing Zhi put the tea away, then looked at Lin Ke and said: "Yaoyao knew it in her heart. This marriage was arranged by Yaoyao's father and Mr. Yao, and the marriage letter was written." Lin Ke was angry and anxious, Li Tian hurriedly raised his hand to signal her not to worry, and continued: "What's the use of being in a hurry? I just told Yaoyao that the matter has come to an end, so I have to deal with it first, and think of a solution while dealing with it."

Lin Ke took a long breath, picked up his cup and took a sip of tea: "With your words, I feel relieved."

"This is a major event. If you are not careful, Yaoyao may fall into a situation where she will never recover. You have to keep your mouth shut. If someone asks, no matter who it is, even your mother, you can't say a word. Marriage is the responsibility of parents." Yaoyao has no idea." Li Tian explained carefully, and Lin Ke kept nodding: "I know, I know, is there anything you want me to do? Tiantian, just order! As long as it is for Yaoyao's good , I can do anything!"

"Not for the time being, you can visit Yaoyao more when you have time, and talk to her, I can't easily go out of the house now." Li Tian smiled, and Lin Ke nodded his head: "Don't worry, I will go every day. "

The fifth prince came back very late that day, Li Tian welcomed him in, smelled the smell of alcohol on his body, hurriedly ordered to prepare sober soup, and waited for him to take a bath and change clothes.The Fifth Prince changed his clothes and came out, took the pear juice and drank it in one gulp, then handed the cup to Yingluo and said, "Make me a cup of tea."

Li Tian sat across from him and was about to speak when the Fifth Prince turned to look at her and said, "Qingyuan looked for me, and had a few drinks with him." Hearing that Jiang Zhengyuan was mentioned first, Li Tian hurriedly asked, "The Yao family and Did he know about the engagement of the Qingyuan Hou Mansion?" The fifth prince nodded, "He knew about it early, he got the letter the night before yesterday, alas, I didn't expect Xiang Yao to have such a trick."

"I found out the night before yesterday? Then... what did he do these two days?" Li Tian was extremely surprised. The fifth prince took a few sips of tea before saying, "I started working when I got the letter, and I was busy until this afternoon. Now that I have settled down, I have time to find me for a few glasses of dull wine."

"What's the matter? Did he tell you?" Li Tian stared at the fifth prince and asked with surprises and joys in his heart. The fifth prince looked at her strangely: "What else is there? Yao Xiang decided on the eldest lady of the Qingjiang Hou's mansion so quickly that he knew that Qingyuan wanted to marry the Qingyuanhou's mansion, and Qingyuan was afraid of other troubles, so he hurriedly asked someone to ask for a marriage. It has been agreed, and the marriage certificate will be issued tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"What?" Li Tian couldn't help crying out, the Fifth Prince was startled, raised his eyebrows and stared at Li Tian with a puzzled expression, Li Tian couldn't help but patted Kang a few times: "Isn't he interested in Yaoyao? Why did he turn so suddenly?" I just decided on Mrs. Fan San? What is this?" The fifth prince raised his brows even higher, looked at Li Tian speechlessly, and took a while to say: "Your words... these words are strange, Qingyuan is I think Mrs. Yu is gentle and virtuous, but Mrs. Fan San is not bad either. It’s not that you don’t know Mrs. Fan. Besides, Mrs. Yu has already settled for someone else. From what you say, it seems that Qingyuan has something to do with Mrs. Yu Generally speaking, you can't talk nonsense, Qingyuan is fine, what is Mrs. Yu?"

"It was you who said that Jiang Qingyuan was interested in Yaoyao, and asked me what the Yu family meant. Could it be that he wanted to be gentle and virtuous? Doesn't it mean that more than half of the young ladies in the capital can please him?" Li Tian was a little annoyed, the fifth prince moved back subconsciously, he was always a little scared of Li Tian who was angry.

"You are a sensible person, why are you confused about this?" The fifth prince moved back, and then moved forward: "The Jiang family and Concubine Jiang have always adhered to the doctrine of the mean, so naturally they don't want to marry someone like Mr. Yao. But the Jiang family doesn't want to be too mediocre. The marriage between Qingyuan and Mrs. Yu is the best choice. The Qingjiang Marquis is noble but has no power. Such a marriage will not alarm all parties. But Mrs. Yu is on good terms with you. Eldest brother is good, the two families can have more contacts, if the fourth brother is good, he has good friends with Mrs. Yu and you, and the Lin family. The Lin family is the in-laws of Dongyang County Prince's Mansion. If you don’t know each other, you’re a stranger. Of course, this kind of marriage is the most suitable, but now I can’t, so I have to ask to marry the lady of the Fan family. How can you say it’s intentional?”

Li Tian's heart was cold when he heard that, he stared at the fifth prince, and finally said something: "Could it be that this marriage is all about interests and calculations?"

"You can't say that." The fifth prince felt that Li Tian was being unreasonable today: "You have to think about it from Qingyuan's standpoint. Qingyuan wants to marry the Yu family the most. Miss Yu is also the most pleasing to the eye, she is suitable and looks the most pleasing to the eye, this is simply rare." The fifth prince looked at Li Tian while talking, and seeing her cold face did not respond, he sighed helplessly and continued. He said: "Qingyuan is the son of the Marquis of Linchuan, and he is responsible for the Jiang family. He naturally has to think about the Marquis of Linchuan and the Jiang family in every way. For such a big event as marriage, you can't do whatever you want. Let alone him, anyone with some ambitions , Which one is not like this? Let’s talk about the fourth brother. Didn’t he also marry a girl from the Zhu family? Well, I’ll just talk about it, talk about it casually.”

As soon as the Fifth Prince's words came out, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly looked around and tried to divert his words: "I almost forgot, I found out about Aunt Yao's life experience." Picking up the cup and sipping tea, he waited to hear what the Fifth Prince would say about Aunt Yao's life experience.The fifth prince looked at her and said: "This matter is somewhat interesting. Aunt Yao's father, Yao Wei, was born in a businessman. Married to the Shangguan's daughter, Chen Shi, Aunt Yao was sent to the palace for selection when she was nine years old, but she didn't return home after she lost the election, and for some reason she was transferred to slave status, and entered the Yunqiu Palace where my father lived at the time as a servant .”

Li Tian was surprised when he heard this, and the fifth prince continued: "After the imperial examination, Yao Wei first served as the county magistrate, and then moved to the county magistrate. He continued to marry the Chen family when he was the county magistrate. Transferred back to Beijing to work in the household department. Aunt Yao entered the palace the year after Yao Wei returned to Beijing. One year before Yao Wei's term expired, she gathered a crowd to drink while inspecting Pingyuan warehouse. After drinking, she somehow caught fire Pingyuan warehouse, a granary, and two fodder warehouses were burned clean. Yao Wei asked him to kill his wife and sold him into slavery. I checked the sales background of the year. Chen and others were all sold to the south of Lingnan, where they were sold There is not one person in ten, I am afraid that they will be gone long ago, except for Aunt Yao, the whole family will be ruined like this."

"Xinyang Mansion?" Li Tian called out in a low voice: "Grandmother was in Xinyang Mansion before she came to Beijing. Went to Beijing and married into Duke Yongguo's mansion." The fifth prince made up his mind and said, "One term lasts five years, and we stay together in Xinyang Mansion for one or two years. One is eight or nine years old, and the other is twelve or thirteen years old. What kind of friendship can there be? Li Tian also couldn't figure it out, so he thought for a while before saying, "This is all about four or fifty years ago, and I don't know if we can still find the insider from back then. inquire about."

"Well, since the grandma doesn't know who sent the things, it means that the grandma married into the Duke of Yongguo's mansion, or that she has no contact with Aunt Yao after entering the capital. If there is any friendship, it must be before entering the capital. I'm afraid it's not the friendship and this matter we were thinking about." The Fifth Prince paused for a moment before continuing: "I've checked on Eldest Brother, and Eldest Brother was very surprised, saying that he has been in the Empress Dowager's palace all this time and doesn't know about these things."

Li Tian stared at the slightly flickering candlelight in a daze. It seemed like he had reached a dead end after finding out this matter. It was too long ago, and many things might just be annihilated.

The fifth prince looked at Li Tian in a daze, Qingyuan said that he was envious of his own blessing, even if he didn't have those dowries, it was worth fighting for just for people, the fifth prince had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, Qingyuan was so Talking, that's because he doesn't know what kind of person she is. If he hears what she said and knows what she did, even if he is not frightened, he will definitely not say such things again!She pretended so well, as if she knew what kind of person she was, the Fifth Prince felt unspeakably proud that he knew what kind of person she was, compared to the impeccable virtuous , this is her true temperament, that pigeon... The fifth prince's self-satisfaction suddenly turned into a bad mood, and he hasn't consummated his marriage yet!
