Chapter 779
Wei Xiyue thought with all her heart that her marriage was almost inseparable, but who knew that nothing would happen next.So the joy and shyness gradually dissipated, and it was full of anxiety.However, her anxiety didn't last long, and the Empress returned to Beijing.Upon hearing the news, Wei Xiyue immediately flew out of the capital like a bird with wings.

After a lot of trial and error, Wei Xiyue finally begged the empress to go to Xie Yuyu's antique shop in Weifu.

The Empress is a sentimental person, and she has always dismissed the so-called rules of being well-matched, and seeing that Xie Yuyu is really a fairy, she can't blame Wei Xiyue for being moved.After returning, he found an opportunity to pass the word to Han Rui, saying that Xiyue had a good eye, and that Xie's young man was not only good-looking, but also knowledgeable in his stomach. Entrusted for life.

Of course, Wei Xiyue, as the empress's playmate since she was a child, naturally, the empress cannot let her marry off easily. Dichu Palace went to Xie's antique shop.At that time, Xie Qionglou and Xie Yuyu brothers were not there, but the brothers' father Xie Chengtang was there.

Xie Chengtang is a person in the business field, traveling all over the world and visiting countless people.Moreover, people in the antique calligraphy and painting business have to deal with people in the palace. Even if he doesn't know Sun Defu, he can guess a thing or two from the other party's style, and he doesn't dare to neglect him immediately. Hearing that this is Fengzhang Palace The eunuch in charge of the case, hurriedly and tremblingly invited into the elegant room to offer fragrant tea.

"Thank you, you're very polite." Sun Defu took a sip of tea and smiled tactfully.

"Grandpa Sun's stepping on the humble ground is the supreme glory of the Xie family." Xie Chengtang cupped his hands.

Before Sun Defu came, the queen had already given a few words of advice, so she naturally had a good idea in her heart, so she was not in a hurry to get down to business right away. After playing Tai Chi with Xie Chengtang for a long time, and chatting all over the world for a while, Fang Ruo asked casually: "Listen?" It is said that there are two sons in Xieye's family, their talents are extremely good, especially the second son's attainments in gold and stone are second to none in our imperial capital. I wonder if there is a chance to meet?"

Xie Chengtang hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Look at what you said, he is just a dog, if you want to see him, call him here."

"Oh, that's the person our empress praises!" Sun Defu clicked his tongue.

This sentence scared Xie Chengtang half to death, and he immediately stood up and bowed his hands: "Where did the father-in-law say this? You don't dare to be a grassroots and a dog!"

Sun Defu laughed and said, "We don't dare to talk nonsense, this is absolutely true!"

"The grassroots are stupid, so please teach me your father-in-law." Xie Chengtang hastily bowed again.

Sun Defu was not good at always holding it, so he told Xie Chengtang about the empress's visit to the antique shop in micro-clothes, and then raised his thumb and smiled: "After returning to the palace, the empress praised your second son full of praise, saying This is a very smart kid. He also said that the little princess of the Ninghou Mansion has a good vision. Thank you, what do you say?"

"Ashamed of the grassroots!" Xie Chengtang's cold sweat drenched his underwear.

Sun Defu smiled, put the teacup in his hand on the carved rosewood square table next to him, stood up and walked around Xie Chengtang half a circle, and then sighed: "Thank you, I am ashamed of you, and I can't go back to the empress." If so."

"My father-in-law taught me that." Xie Chengtang cupped his hands, "The grass people have heard a little bit about the dog and the little princess. But the grass people have never dared to hope that this matter will happen. After all, the little princess of Ninghou Mansion is honorable. Could it be that the children of merchants like us can think about it? So, at the time, the grassroots listened to this and just regarded them as rumors. So... so I have to ask my father-in-law to give me some advice on this matter."

"Hi! You haven't understood after talking for a long time!" Sun Defu smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"What does father-in-law mean?" Xie Chengtang actually understood it a long time ago, but now he has to pretend to be confused.

"The empress has already spoken. Didn't you understand what I just said?" Sun Defu looked at Xie Chengtang with a look of hatred for iron, "The empress said it, the little princess has a good eye! Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes! Caomin understands! Caomin's family is grateful to the empress for her wrong love. Caomin is stupid, Caomin deserves to die." Xie Chengtang lifted the corner of his robe and knelt in the direction of the palace.

"Come on! Get up. The empress didn't even give your second son a paper marriage." Sun Defu laughed.

"Yes, Cao Min, thank you father-in-law for your advice." Xie Chengtang cupped his hands at Sun Defu again.

Sun Defu smiled and waved his hands: "That's all. We are also servants, aren't we?"

While talking, Xie Yuyu has already arrived in a hurry—it can’t be helped, this is the era when the imperial power is supreme, the eunuch in front of the empress arrived, the whole Xie family panicked, the butler beat Ma Rufei, wishing he could put on his wings and directly carry the second son on his back Fly over.

Xie Yuyu came in to greet Sun Defu, Sun Defu looked at it carefully, and said with a click: "Sure enough, he is a fairy!"

Being praised so much, Xie Yuyu's expression didn't change a bit, he just cupped his hands towards Sun Defu, and then stood silently behind Xie Chengtang.Seeing him like this, Sun Defu smiled even deeper: "Sure enough, sure enough."

"The dog is ignorant, father-in-law, don't blame him." Xie Chengtang cupped his hands.

"Hehe, Mr. Xie was joking." Sun Defu glanced at Xie Yuyu again, and said, "The second son is a nobleman, but we can blame him casually? Well, I have said everything that should be said, and said what should not be said , we should go back, the empress is still waiting for our reply."

"Eunuch, go slowly." Xie Chengtang heard Sun Defu say that he was going back to the queen, so he didn't dare to stay for long, and only quietly winked at the shopkeeper next to him.

The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed a purse to Sun Defu, and said with a smile: "Elder-in-law ran so hard that he didn't even have a cup of tea. Our boss feels very sorry, please accept this little thing."

Sun Defu took the purse and squeezed it slightly, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the Xie family's good news is approaching, and we will naturally walk around a lot in the future, so we will not be polite."

"Thank you, Eunuch, for your appreciation. Eunuch, please go slowly." The shopkeeper sent Sun Defu out of the door with a smile on his face and watched him get on his horse and leave. Fang pulled his sleeves and wiped his forehead, and sighed: "Oh, this is a big deal." Good thing!"

Xie Yuyu sighed lightly, frowned slightly, turned and went back.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper looked at Xie Chengtang helplessly. Xie Chengtang frowned and said, "Okay, I'll leave everything here to you. I have to go home quickly to discuss the marriage proposal with the old lady."

"Second Master doesn't seem very happy." The shopkeeper said in a low voice.

"At this time, is it his turn to be happy?" Xie Chengtang glared at the shopkeeper, and hurried home - if he had known this would be the result, he might as well have sent someone to Ninghou's mansion to ask for marriage!Or if it is said that this woman has long hair and short knowledge, she should not listen to the woman's words in this matter.

At home, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Xie, and the whole family were anxiously waiting for news. The visitor only said that someone from the palace wanted to see the second master immediately, so they hurriedly dragged Xie Yuyu away, leaving everyone behind. Ziren stood in the yard waiting in fear.

The servant shouted "Master is back" all the way through the words, Liu hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw Xie Chengtang at the door, he didn't care about the sweat on his face, but asked: "What happened?!"

"Nothing happened." Xie Chengtang walked in while talking.

Mrs. Liu looked behind hesitantly, but seeing that no one was following, she turned around and hurried after her, and asked, "What is it that someone from the palace asked the second child to go over? Is it related to the Ninghou Mansion?"

Xie Chengtang was annoyed in his heart, and was impatient to be questioned by Mrs. Liu, so he stopped and turned to stare at her, frowned and said: "If you don't ask more about this matter, maybe I can save myself some trouble."

Liu Shi was reprimanded by her husband in front of everyone like this once, Zi blushed for a while and didn't know what to do.

A young girl who had been standing by Liu's side hurriedly came forward to support Liu's arm, and persuaded in a warm voice: "Auntie, uncle is here for things outside, it's useless for you to worry, you've been standing outside for a long time, Why don't you go back and sit down for a while and have a sip of tea."

Liu Shi sighed softly, and shook her head speechlessly: "You go back first, I'll go in and have a look."

"Then Qingmei will take your leave first." The girl gave her a blessing, lowered her head slightly and took a few steps back before turning and leaving.

Liu looked at the back of her niece Miaoman and couldn't help sighing—this is her daughter-in-law, Liu Qingmei, who originally wanted to betroth her to her second son, but unexpectedly killed her halfway. The Princess of Ninghou Mansion is here.

But looking at the situation now, I have to make another plan.

Xie Chengtang entered the old lady's room, raised the corner of his robe and knelt down, startled the old lady, and asked, "What happened?"

"The son is not filial, and the tired mother is worried." Xie Chengtang first kowtowed to the old mother, and then said what Eunuch Sun said, and then said: "The son has thought about this matter before and after, and I will leave it to others to worry about it." It’s impossible. For this matter, the old lady has to go to Ninghou’s mansion to ask for marriage.”

Mrs. Xie pondered for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said: "You are right. The Ninghou Mansion is distinguished and honorable, and the princes and generals in the court have to restrain themselves in front of Mrs. Yao. The people we can entrust The highest can only be Mrs. Xu's five-rank order. Mrs. Xu can't do this, and it is useless to entrust others. It would be better for me to ask for it myself, but it will be more sincere."

Xie Chengtang hurriedly said: "That's what my son means. It's just that my mother has to go to work at such an old age. My son really can't bear it. My son is unfilial and incompetent." As he spoke, Xie Chengtang lowered his head in shame.

"Which one of us parents is not a cow and a horse for our children? Besides, you can't blame you for this matter. Just get up, let's discuss how to deal with this matter." Mrs. Xie bent down and stretched out her hand, lifting her son from the ground Pulled up.
