The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 243 Na Cai asks the name Xiaozong agrees to marry (second update)
Don't look at Fu Ge'er who is not yet one year old and can't speak a word, but he has a lot of skills in acting like a baby.Every day when Xing Zhong came back from the yamen, the first thing he did was to look at this skinny boy.Hearing from his daughter that he would send Fu Geer away to learn skills from a foreign expert, Xing Zhong hesitated and was reluctant to give up.

Xiuyan hurriedly laughed and said: "Even if parents are willing, I still can't bear it. It's nothing more than inviting those people to teach at home. After three to five years of study, Fu Geer has practiced his courage and strengthened his body, so I still send him to the academy. We Home is different from Rongguo Mansion, and I dare not call Fu Geer the second Jia Baoyu."

Xing Zhong nodded, this method is good, but... "I heard that those people in the world are arrogant and unconvincing. How could they put down their airs and come to our house to sit in the restaurant?"

"I used to think so, but later I heard people say that life is not easy for people who go to the rivers and lakes. Those who have a teacher to take care of them are okay, but those who practice alone, shrinking clothes and dieting are the next best thing. , Those with poor moral character will fall into bandits and become robbers." Xiuyan sighed: "But then again, I am a normal person, who wants to live a life like that of licking blood on the edge of a knife?"

Lu Shi followed suit, and she thought about it carefully before she said: "I also think Xiuyan's words are not unreasonable, let's find someone who is older, and it doesn't need much fame, as long as he can stay in our house peacefully. Just a few years. If he teaches well, it’s okay if we give him a pension, just add a pair of chopsticks.”

In fact, Xiuyan already had a candidate in mind, but she never had time to talk to her parents.When Song Chen was visiting the southeast, he happened to meet an uncle in his division.This uncle's life is very desolate, his son and daughter died early, and he took a pair of grandsons to set up a tea stand in the local area to support the three of them, and his life is very poor.

Song Chen couldn't bear it, so he wanted to bring him back to the capital, but the uncle was stubborn, because he didn't want to have anything to do with the people in the master's school.

It was only now that Song Chen knew that when his master and this uncle were fighting for the position of head, there was some rift between them.

But Song Chen also admired him from the bottom of his heart, that martial uncle's skills are top-notch, so it is most suitable to invite him to sit in the hall.

Xiuyan told the story of this person to her parents, and the two looked at each other, Lu Shi gave Xing Zhong a slight wink, and the latter smiled and said: "Let us discuss this matter again, so as not to spoil the seedlings and make them grow up, and call Fu Geer a little boy." Suffering at an early age."

Xiuyan also knew that her father's worry was not unreasonable, so she nodded in agreement, and sat for a while before leading the maids back to her yard.As soon as Xiuyan walked away, Lu hurriedly discussed with her husband: "These two children are moving around faster than we thought! How come I don't know the slightest?"

Xing Zhong said with a smile: "If you can tell what the boy surnamed Song is capable of, he won't have to hang around in the court. It's fine for me to see the two children. By the way, you go to Xu's house today. What did Mrs. Xu say?"

There was a smile on Lu's face: "Madam Xu didn't expect that our family would marry the Song family, and she felt sorry for our girl, but she also agreed to help us find out."

The national funeral is over, and the Xu family needs a new turnaround before they can re-enter the court.Mrs. Xu is willing to help, firstly because everyone has a good relationship, and secondly, their family has been quiet for a year, so it might be a good way to re-enter the social circle in this way.

Xing Zhong said with a smile: "Sir Song has already revealed to me the intention of getting married, and with Mrs. Xu helping us build a bridge, this matter will probably be possible."

Mrs. Xu was indeed a vigorous and resolute master, so she brought her daughter-in-law to Song's house as a guest the next day.Mrs. Song had already made up her mind, so she was not surprised, but entertained Mrs. Xu politely.Mrs. Song intends to ask Cao Yu's wife, who was in Hanyingdian University, to be the man's matchmaker.The higher the man's status as a matchmaker, the more he respects the performance of the bride. Mrs. Xu is naturally happy when she hears this.

Not long after, Mrs. Cao brought ten kinds of silk, gold and silver jewelry and dried fruits to Fengwei Hutong.Mrs. Cao's little grandson is very cute, wearing a bright red gown and holding two wild geese tied with red silk ribbons in his arms.

During the process of accepting Cai, Lu always smiled, and gave the young master of the Cao family a gold collar as a meeting gift.

Mrs. Cao got Xing Xiuyan's birthday horoscope. Everyone knows that this is nothing more than a long journey. When the host master of Dayuan Temple gave the good news, the Song family officially prepared the dowry.Acceptance and asking names can also be done in private, but when it comes to acceptance, it is not easy to be silent.

The Song family is also an aristocratic family, although the third young master's marriage cannot be as grand as the eldest son's, but it must be done cautiously.

Mrs. Song wanted to make up for the relationship with her son, but she didn't want the eldest daughter-in-law to take all the benefits, so she allocated 5 taels from the company to buy the dowry, and added more privately.

Grandma Song didn't say anything, but Grandma Song complained first, because when she got married, the Song family only paid [-] yuan.Then there was the cousin girl who lived in Song's house, and she fell ill that night when she heard the news.It's not a serious illness, but I can't get out of bed, I wash my face with tears all day long, I don't eat or drink water, and I have thoughts of contemplation.

Mrs. Song felt slightly apologetic at first, but it didn't take long for Gao Suyu to torment her.

Mrs. Song looked at the pale girl on the sick bed, and said coldly: "I just promised your father to find you a safe house in the capital, because you are my niece, I can't bear to marry you casually." But if you don't know what to do and ruin the marriage between the Song family and the Xing family, I, as an aunt, can't forgive you."

After saying that, he flung his sleeves and left.

Gao Suyu suddenly covered herself with a quilt and cried loudly, and none of the girls who served her dared to go forward.I don't know how long it took before a corner of the quilt was lifted, Gao Suyu's eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she called to her girl in a low voice: "Go and invite Second Mistress."

The maid didn't move, but hesitated and said: "Second Mistress went to Mrs. Cao's house to discuss the next appointment, and she hasn't come back yet!"

Gao Suyu lay straight on the bed, with her snow-white arms hanging down, her eyes were fixed on the sky-blue curtain above the bed without blinking.

"Girl, why are you torturing yourself here? You haven't paid the bride price yet, why don't you ask the third master what you mean, maybe the third young master doesn't know what you want. When he compares the two, he will naturally choose the girl." The little girl who served Gao Suyu began to advise her.

Gao Suyu turned her back up, and smiled bitterly: "If my cousin really has the slightest affection for me, he has already rejected the marriage at this moment, so do I still need to ask? Forget it, I'm just pretending to be affectionate, and I will ask someone to deliver a letter to my father tomorrow." Go, I won't be able to live in this mansion for a while."

Seeing that the girl couldn't change her mind, the little servant girl stomped her feet and sighed: "It would be great if Xing Xiuyan married Mr. Cheng, but the girl doesn't have such troubles."

Gao Suyu's arm trembled, and he finally straightened up: "What did you say?"

"Slave, my servant said something wrong." The little maid begged for mercy, but Gao Suyu nodded with a smile: "You are right, come on, wash and dress me up, I'm going to Cheng's house to see Miss Xiaodie."

Gao Suyu tried to bring disaster to the east, but unfortunately, ever since Xiaodie heard that Xing Xiuyan had settled the Song family's marriage, she already had a premonition that Gao Suyu would come to her to ask her advice, so she had already told the concierge that once Gao Suyu sent someone to ask for an audience, she would Just say that she is not at home.

Gao Suyu sent people there a few times, but there was no one there, so she knew that Xiaodie wanted to hide from her. From then on, she hated Xiaodie together, this is a later story and I won't mention it again.

He only said that the Song family's dowry was well prepared, and Song Lian brought his son into the palace to ask the emperor's will.If it was someone else's family, Song Lian could hire him by himself, but the Xing family was the most special. Song Lian didn't know what Xiaozong's intentions were, this old fox didn't dare to make a decision lightly.

It happened that the princes were all there, and in the imperial study, Xiaozong was testing the homework of the princes with a smile.The second prince deliberately gave way to his younger brothers, and he only responded in a simple and sloppy manner.Xiaozong liked it very much, and felt that this son had the demeanor of an elder brother the most.Although he was not the eldest son, in Xiaozong's heart, he always regarded the second prince as the head of several princes.

The third prince has shown his sharpness for the past year. Although the article is still immature, it has already shown its domineering spirit.

The fifth prince, Li Hong, pays attention to filial piety, and is also very respectful to his elder brothers, and Xiaozong also loves him very much.The sixth prince was still young, so he could only join in the fun and say a few childish words that made people laugh from time to time.

As soon as Song Chen came in, the second prince was the first to joke and congratulate.Even the thick-skinned Song Chen blushed in front of Xiaozong and the others.

Xiaozong said with a smile: "If the queen hadn't told me, I really don't know, but your boy is about to get married."

Song Lian hurriedly apologized with a smile: "I just want to ask the emperor what he means, to see if the marriage will be successful or not?"

Xiaozong looked at Song Lian who bowed his head and bowed his head: "I thought you had already made a decision."

Seeing that Song Lian's waist was bent even lower, "I, father and son, are the subjects of Long Live, and the matter of marriage should be decided by Your Majesty."

Xiaozong laughed out loud, and he could tell that Song Lian's flattery was pretty good.Xiaozong said: "I have always been optimistic about Song Chen. In the future, he will be promoted to an important position. The queen also intends to betroth her niece from her natal family to him. Now that you have suddenly made a decision, if I object, won't it harm the daughter of the Xing family? "

Xiaozong's eyes naturally fell on Zhengde.

Zhengde's face was numb, he didn't speak, let alone look at Song Chen.

The corner of Xiaozong's mouth rose: "Forget it, don't the common people often say that twisted melons are not sweet. Besides, the Xing family did have some credits in those years, and they were wronged. Taking advantage of Song Chen's wedding, I will make up for it." two."

Song Chen hurriedly knelt down: "I thank you for your kindness."

Seeing Song Chen's eagerness, the second prince felt very sorry, but disdain flashed in the eyes of the third prince.Only Zhengde couldn't hide his smile at all.

Xiaozong took the expressions of his sons into his eyes, and remembered what the scholar Cao Yu said to him.If the prince is not established for a long time, it will not only make the queen feel uneasy, but also make the princes want to move around.The harem is not peaceful, and the princes are intriguing, which also destroys the brotherhood.

Xiaozong also moved the idea of ​​establishing a reserve after the persuasion of the great scholar.But who to establish. Xiaozong was still hesitant and difficult to make a decision.
