The reborn Duke's wife

Chapter 294
"The chief of the county is going out? Where is the old Hou Ye..." Madam Lu said worriedly.After all, one of the families is the natal family of the current empress. If she really wanted to marry the princess, it would be difficult for Hou Ye to refuse her like this.

"Grandpa, there is no need to worry! Since grandpa said that, how could there be nothing in his heart?" Liu Ruxin smiled, seeming to be in a good mood, and joked: "Don't forget to dig the lotus root, I came back from this county At that time, we have to eat the glutinous rice lotus root dish that Nanny Lu is best at."

As he said that, he started to walk towards his dormitory. After changing into a horse riding outfit, he did not forget to pin the fire dragon silver whip bestowed by the Empress Dowager on his waist...

A luxurious and extravagant carriage slowly drove out from the gate of the princess mansion, heading all the way to the southeast of Kyoto.Turning across the noisy Yongning Street is Ronghua Street.

At this time, in Dingbohou's mansion, the old Dingbohou Yi was seated in the main seat, with the matchmakers representing the Nangong family and the Su family sitting on the left and right respectively.

The person invited by the Nangong family to be the guarantor was an old man of seventy years of age who worked as an editor in the Imperial Academy. The matchmaker, dressed in heavy makeup, beautiful, with a bean-sized mole on the lower right of the chin, about 37 or [-] years old, a typical sign of a matchmaker.

One of the two represents the queen's natal family, who proposed marriage to the old Dingbohou, and the other represents the natal family of the upstart Su nobleman. This comparison clearly shows the high and the low; Dingbohou can offend him.

There is a saying: 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi!
Although Su Guiren is not visible at this time, he has also emerged in the competition of many concubines in the harem for power and favor.Although it is unlikely that Emperor Xizhao would spoil his concubine and destroy his wife after experiencing the Xue Clan's Rebellion, but the king's heart is unpredictable, who would dare to underestimate the power of the wind around the pillow?
"You and I have known each other for many years. How can I not know what kind of character you are? There is a saying: There are hundreds of daughters in a family! You have raised a good granddaughter, so there will naturally be an endless stream of suitors." Absolutely. My proposal just now, Old Hou, might as well consider it carefully, after all, it is for the younger generation, as the grandfather of Princess Danyang, we will naturally depend on your old boy's decision!" The old man rubbed his hands. Beard, hearty smile.

The matchmaker representing the Su family watched the two talking and laughing, feeling very anxious in her heart.With two dry laughs, he said: "That's right, Princess Danyang is beautiful and virtuous. It is said that he can have such a noble relative. In the past, the Su family never dared to think about it. However, there were heroes in ancient times who saved the beauty. According to Xu Zhi, at that time Su Guiren's natal elder brother just saw the injustice. He really didn't expect that the person in the carriage was actually the daughter of the princess, and he didn't intend to be frivolous! For this reason, the eldest son of the Su family also blamed himself after returning home. It's also the fact that Mr. Su, knowing that his identity is not suitable for the princess, didn't come to ask for marriage at that time, but he didn't know that after a few months, the matter was dug up again by those talkative people. For the sake of the princess's reputation, Mr. Su had no choice but to ignore the world's demands on the concept of family status, and sent me here for a visit. He also said that even if he was all stared at, he must never fail to wrong the princess! Look, look, What a solid fellow!"

While speaking, without waiting for old Ding Bohou and others to open their mouths, after taking a sip of tea, he artificially picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped away the non-existent tea stains on the corners of his lips, and continued to foam and say: "Oh If you talk about this marriage, it's not so unfeasible! It depends on what the old Hou thinks! It should be noted that the status of the princess is extremely expensive, and there is really no need to marry or anything. Youdao is to find a high-ranking You have to abide by your daughter-in-law's duty, and you have to face difficulties from your parents-in-law; it's better to find a low-income family like Mr. Su's. Making things difficult? You must know that being a daughter-in-law is the most difficult thing between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!"

With these words, Liu Ruxin's tarnished reputation was first awakened, and she was offering benefits to impress Lao Dingbohou's love and love.She really deserves to be a matchmaker, her eloquence alone is unmatched by others.

"Hehehe... It's not that the old man didn't think about what you said. It's just that since ancient times, one woman does not serve two husbands! The kindness of the two of you, the old man appreciates it. It's also a coincidence that the two of you are out of luck. Half a month ago, The old man has indeed chosen someone for Xin'er, and he has already agreed on something, now, it is only equivalent to asking Xin'er's opinion, and the man can make a decision! But it is not easy to make changes." Old Ding Bohou said with a look on his face. Embarrassed to refuse.

As soon as Lao Dingbohou said the words, the two matchmakers frowned, seeming to disagree.Matchmaker Wang, who was always quick-spoken, covered her lips and said with a smile: "Old Hou Ye is really good at joking. Marriage matters are the words of the matchmaker ordered by parents! It is very rare to see such an open-minded elder as Old Hou Ye!"

In name, it is to praise the old Ding Bohou, but in essence it is to insinuate that the old Ding Bohou is old and disrespectful. Marriage is always decided by the elders, so why does the junior speak?
Although the Hanlin editor didn't say anything, he seemed to agree with Wang Matchmaker's words.It's just that because of my status, I don't want to talk nonsense like a woman.

Hearing what the matchmaker said, old Ding Bohou frowned, full of displeasure, before he could speak, the matchmaker Wang said suddenly: "Since that's the case, the old Hou might as well take a piece of Mr. Su's Geng Tie." To stay here, after all, the princess must be satisfied, right?"

The Hanlin editor's eyes flickered slightly, but his eyes were looking at Old Dingbohou, but it depends on his choice.

"Bastard!"

The matchmaker had just finished speaking when she saw old Ding Bohou slap on the table, making the cups rattle.Matchmaker Wang seemed to have noticed the inappropriateness of what she said, with a look of fear on her face, she quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Ah, bah bah bah, but I can't speak as a woman, which annoyed Lord Hou!" He slapped his hands lightly, and seeing that the old Hou Ye's expression relaxed a little, he said again: "But, the words are not rough, aren't they? I don't know much about those old people, but I know that in the market, it's okay to go to the market to buy vegetables. You have to pick and choose, not to mention choosing a husband and son-in-law! That is a major event in the second half of a woman's life, so naturally you can't be hasty. Please also give us another chance, and let the princess have one more choice, right?"
