Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 210: Marriage Proposal (3)
The more she thought about it, the more she hated it. How could that bumpkin have the right to find someone with a higher status than her cousin, even if it was only on the surface.

Seeing her holding her breath here, Lian Xiangyuan pulled her and said, "Let's go, fourth sister, when father comes back later and sees us here, he will reprimand us again."

Lian Xiangjin walked back under her tugging.

After Luo Jin left, even the wedding banquet in the mansion ended, and Lian Xiu and Mrs. Zhu talked about Luo Jinxing and Xianglai.

Lian Xiu said: "It seems that Luo Xuan has really taken a fancy to Xianglai, and I think we will offend him for choosing a relative for Xianglai."

Zhu was silent for a while and said: "Who would have thought that girl could really hook up with Luo Xuan."

Lian Xiudao: "Not only Luo Xuan, but also the second prince of Gaoli, why have you been in love with Xianglai for a long time? Could it be that they knew each other before?"

Zhu suddenly said: "By the way, you said that girl has friends in the Korean embassy, ​​could that person be the second prince who came to propose marriage?"

Lian Xiu said suspiciously: "It shouldn't be. That person's surname is Yu, and his name is Yu Zixi... eh? Yu Zixi, Wei Xi... Could it be the same person?!"

Zhu said: "Probably yes, Prince Gaoli can't use his real name outside."

Lian Xiu smacked his lips regretfully and said: "Oh, if this is the case, Luo Xuan will ruin the big event today, Beiliao and Koryo will be in business soon, if you say that if you marry your daughter to the second prince of Koryo, it will be of great help to us! "

Although Mrs. Zhu also felt a little regretful, but after thinking about it, she said: "If you say that, who knows if your daughter will really help you."

Lian Xiu said: "Why do you need her to help, as long as this relationship is involved, she will help us. Even if she doesn't speak well of us, she can't speak ill of her mother's family in front of her husband's family. As long as we win Wei Xi over, it will be fine."

Mrs. Zhu sat there without speaking. After a while, she said: "But his suitors were torn apart by Luo Xuan. Will he come again? After all, he is also the prince of Korea."

Lian Xiudao: "Luo Xuan's tear is Luo Xuan's, as long as we don't tear it up, he and Xiang Lai have known each other for a long time, so let's forget about it. I guess Xiang Lai hasn't married for a long time, maybe the two of them have been private for a long time. Forever."

Thinking that Xianglai might marry the prince of Goryeo, Zhu was inexplicably jealous, but knowing that it would be beneficial for the Lian family if Xianglai really married to Goryeo, he could only say, "Then let's forget about Zuoxiaoling's marriage?"

Lian Xiudao: "Of course forget it. Even if we don't mention Zuo Xiao, we won't dare to come again. The one who threw away his gift list is the prince. It's good if he doesn't get scared when he finds out."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhu was silent after speaking, he said again: "I have to tell Xianglai another day. If Wei Xi asks her to tell Wei Xi to come to propose marriage again, I will directly make this marriage..."

On the second day, Yang Mengwan ordered his subordinates to move to the new house in the mansion, Xianglai took Huiling in the carriage driven by Xu Che and left the mansion, and the three of them went to the small courtyard that Xianglai bought for Yang Mengwan first.

This small courtyard is in a remote alley called Luliu Lane. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Xiang Lai, Luo Jinxing, and Yu Zixi changed the meeting point here.

When she came, Yu Zixi and Luo Jinxing had just arrived, and the three of them went into the house and sat down, while their respective entourages stood guard outside the courtyard to watch the wind not come in.

Yu Zixi twirled the letter in his hand that was torn into four pieces by Luo Jinxing, and said teasingly: "Our son's hand strength is really good. Look at the letter torn, the cuts are neat and even in size, tsk, the skill is really extraordinary. !"

Luo Jinxing sat there with a sullen face and said, "I've already told you that I'm going to Lianfu, why are you joining in the fun!"

Seeing that they started attacking each other again, Xianglai sat there with a headache and lightly covered her forehead. The two of them quarreled for their own sake, and no one could help them. They could only pinch the result by themselves.

Listening to Luo Jinxing's questioning, Yu Zixi was still holding on to the few pieces of letter paper, her gaze stayed on them, and she said in a drawn out voice, "I didn't go for nothing, I went not only for Xianglai's benefit, but also for our plan. help."

Luo Jinxing said, "How can I help?"

Yu Zixi said: "Have you forgotten about the business rights in Korea? The Lian family is the one that deserves the most!"

Luo Jinxing said: "Lian's family isn't Xu Zongde, taking your six quotas won't hurt much."

Yu Zixi said: "But it's not enough for them to just win the business rights, they also have to enter Korea to do business, and they will inevitably encounter troubles in doing business. If they encounter troubles in Korea, they must have Korean people to help them. If they can It would be best to flatter me."

Luo Jinxing said: "So?"

Yu Zixi said: "So it is more beneficial for me to approach Xianglai in the open than for you to approach her. The Lianxiu will trust her more and rely on her, so it will be more convenient for her to do things."

Although Luo Jinxing couldn't accept him getting close to Xianglai, he knew that his idea was good, nodded and said: "Yes, the deeper he associates with you, the easier it is for you to restrict them, suppress them to the end, and give them If you plant a foreigner's booty, they will be unable to eat it!"

Yu Zixi smiled and said, "Exactly."

Seeing that they had finally let go of their personal rift and talked about business, Xianglai also joined in, saying: "I think this is not enough. We should attack the Lian family more comprehensively. We must try our best to consume their strength."

Luo Jinxing said: "It depends on you. You are among them, what means can you use, whether it is to sow dissension or divide property, as long as you can hit Lianxiu, do it. You can't deal with Lianxiu. There are moral questions."

Xianglai thought for a while and said, "Separate the property, it's a good way to divide the family."

She said this because she thought that when she was in the Shen family, just dividing up a family would almost put her family in a desperate situation. If she and her second aunt hadn't gone hunting in the mountains later, the family's winter rations would have been a problem.

Yu Zixi also nodded and said: "Well, that's right. Now that the four families are together and the money is in the hands of Lian Xiuguan, of course he is full of confidence. If the three families are divided, no matter how little they are divided, the three families added together will be worthless." I can take a third of it."

Xiang Lai smiled and said, "Yes, it seems that the time has come for Third Uncle to come out."

After meeting the two, Xianglai quietly asked Lianke to meet with his father, and then returned to the mansion as if nothing happened.

Lian Xiu attached great importance to the relationship between Xiang Lai and Yu Zixi. As soon as Xiang Lai stepped into the courtyard of "Lai Xiangju" through the side door he opened, the entourage that Lian Xiu sent to wait came up and said: "Miss San , the master has something to do with you, so I want you to go to the study."

Xianglai knew it well, and said: "You go back first, tell father that I will be there later."

Xiang Lai entered the room and saw that Yang Mengwan had taken care of everything in the new house. After changing her clothes, she greeted Yang Mengwan and came to the main house to see Lian Xiu.
