marry a noble wife

Chapter 77

The implication is that as long as Lord Hou returns to Beijing, his life will be safe, and the old lady finally regained her composure.Someone gave her a cup of calming tea to subdue her shock, before she had the strength to speak, "But the matter has come to this point, we have nothing to do, we have helped all we can, what else does the crown prince think of us?"

"The prince was naturally upset when he encountered this incident. However, he found news from the palace last night that the king of Qi had been to the empress's side the day before he left Beijing, and the empress had talked to him about his marriage. It seems that he is committed to marrying the nine girls who are only 13 years old in the Song Mansion. The empress also agrees, saying that she will go to the Song Mansion to propose marriage in the near future. The prince is very anxious when he gets this news. I don’t know why the King of Qi is making such a move , I am afraid that he has some conspiracy, and when I go today, I will tell our Houfu to marry this nine girls back, and we cannot let King Qi take the lead."

The old lady said unhappily: "What is this saying? Asking us to marry the Nine Girls from the Song Mansion in the Hou Mansion? Then how sacred is that, and it is worth the prince to go to war?"

Xiao carefully replied: "I heard that he is a fifth-rank official from the Ministry of Households and Cangbu, who is in charge of the imperial military reserve. Although this person is a small official, his duties are very important. The crown prince told us to do as ordered, and not to be neglected. If you want a girl from the Song family, you need to give her a good name, and you can't make the Song family feel uncomfortable."

The old lady remained silent, and the prince's mansion was too lenient, how could she even influence the marriage of the marquis' mansion?

Mrs. Xiao sighed, "Actually, listening to the prince's tone, I'm afraid that Qingyan wants us to marry that nine girls back. In fact, they don't know about Qingyan's marriage... oh..." Fu Qingyan is the eldest son, although his marriage was before It hasn't been ordered, but which of the masters of the Hou Mansion doesn't have a clear book in their hearts?I have already had a favorite family, but because of some things, I didn't come to the door to formally propose marriage. If this happens, wouldn't it mess up everyone's calculations?
Although the old lady was displeased, after all, after all the storms, she has seen everything and she has enough opinions. She said in a deep voice: "Since the crown prince has ordered it, for Jing Wen, even if it is not the right family, we can't put this Things have been sloppy. How about this, ask a matchmaker early tomorrow morning to see if there is really such a 13-year-old Jiu girl in the Song family, and whether he is married, and if there is no marriage discussion, then we will settle the matter."

"Don't ask Qingyan?" Xiao Shi was a little worried, even if the matter of Lord Hou was kept hidden from him for the time being, would it be okay not to tell him about the marriage?

The old lady waved her hand, "Let him be comfortable for one more night, and tell him when things are settled tomorrow. Poor man, such a proud and arrogant person, now he wants to marry a daughter of a small family who doesn't know what he looks like." , I’m afraid I’ll be sad for a long time.”

Xiao didn't dare to say more, but there was resentment in her heart. This daughter of the Song family is really lucky, and she still wants to marry her son.Well, let's wait and see when we get married.

The next day, she really invited Li Dazui, who is well-known in the capital, as a matchmaker, and brought a lot of valuable gifts. First, she went to the Song Mansion to ask for the exact news.In the Song Mansion, Xiao Shi was talking to Jin Yuan about how much dowry he was going to prepare for her, when Steward Fang rushed to say that the Anping Hou Mansion invited someone to propose a marriage, and told her to go to the front to meet the guests.

Xiao Shi couldn't believe it when she heard that, the Anping Marquis Mansion also came to propose marriage?What's going on in the mansion recently, there is an endless stream of marriage proposals, and the girls are almost married. Could it be that this is here to propose marriage to Jin Yun?She just thought about going to the front hall, and sure enough, she met Li Dazui, a famous matchmaker in the capital.Li Dazui opened his mouth and smiled happily, and he said congratulations, "Congratulations, Mrs. He Xi, since the last time I met the fifth girl of Song Dynasty to discuss marriage, I haven't had a chance to come to the house again. I didn't expect this time to be Entrusted by the Anping Marquis Mansion to come to the mansion to propose a marriage, this old man must first order a wedding wine here."

Xiao's spirit was lifted when she heard it, but her face was reserved, she asked someone to serve good tea, she was neither happy nor happy, she looked like a noble lady, "I don't know where this joy comes from?"

Li Dazui laughed almost to the back of his neck, pretending to be mysterious and moved his head closer, "May I ask if there is a girl named Jiu?"

Xiao remained calm, "There is indeed a Nine Girls."

Li Dazui asked again, "Are you only 13 years old?"

Xiao Shi nodded, "It is indeed only 13 years old."

"Can you talk about others?"

"I'm only 13 years old, and I haven't discussed marriage yet."

Li Dazui clapped his hands, and said cheerfully: "Isn't that done? This morning, the old lady of the Anping Marquis Mansion entrusted her to discuss a marriage for the Prince of Anping Marquis, and the object was the 13-year-old Nine Girls in the mansion. No, I didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so I hurried over to announce the good news to Madam, Madam is going to get married right now."

Xiao Shi didn't expect that he really came to propose marriage to Jin Yun, which was simply a blessing from heaven.She had seen that Prince Anping, who was not only a good-looking talent, but also gentle and polite, kind to people, smiling before speaking, he was a good person at first glance.On the day when Jiuya was imprisoned, he also offered a gift and said that he would condolence to Jiuya who was injured in Anfu. He didn't want Jiuya to associate with such a nobleman, and he didn't want him to know about Jiuya's punishment. , and sent him away unceremoniously. Although the gift was accepted, it was all sent to the warehouse, and no one said anything.Unexpectedly, not long after, he actually came to propose marriage to the Song family again. It seemed that the son-in-law would not be able to push it away.But the last time he came to see Eight Girls, this time the object of marriage proposal is Jiu Girls, is there no mistake?
She didn't care about inviting Li Dazui to breakfast, and immediately said tentatively: "Do you know that the nine girls are my biological daughters, named Jin Yun?"

Li Dazui nodded again and again, taking it for granted: "I know, I know, I wouldn't come to propose marriage if I wasn't a prostitute."

After confirming this matter, Xiao Shi was finally overjoyed. It seemed that she was really lucky. Her own daughter was about to marry into the Anping Marquis Mansion, which was quite prestigious in the imperial court. Shouldn't she be proud?

No more hesitation at the moment, I immediately feasted on Li Dazui and rewarded her with a lot of money, hoping that she could say a few more good things when she went back, Li Dazui's clever mouth made her even more coaxed.

After Li Dazui left, Xiao immediately sent someone to report the good news to Song Tingda. At the same time, Li Dazui returned to the Anping Marquis Mansion. After saying this and that, the marriage was basically agreed upon, and he asked someone to prepare the Geng Tie, which will be ready tomorrow. to ask the name.At this time, the old lady couldn't keep the matter a secret anymore, so she called Fu Qingyan and told the whole story of her plan to propose marriage to the Song family, hoping that he would understand their difficulties, and that he would follow the prince's wishes. Don't be in conflict.
