Mrs. General is a little sweet

Chapter 7 Refuse to propose marriage
When Xu Yunyao and Qin Ling returned to the banquet, the scene in front of them was unbelievable. Xu Xiang and Zhennan Wang were sitting in their respective seats, and kept picking up wine glasses to toast each other. After several times of persuasion, I couldn't persuade him, so I had to stand aside and watch.

If they wake up the next day, the two of them will regret it endlessly. Tonight is a big shame. One is the prime minister, and the other is a prince with a heavy army. To fight for breath, the two of them are so drunk that they don't care about their image. What a shame to throw it home.

Emperor Wen didn't blame him when he saw it. When the two of them got together, they did all kinds of outrageous things. It was much more embarrassing than this.

Seeing that it was almost time for the curfew, and today's banquet was coming to an end, each family got into their carriages and prepared to return home.

"Look at your father, how drunk he is, it's really embarrassing." Mrs. Xu said something unpleasant, but she still wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand.

"It's not that mother doesn't know, as long as father and prince get together, something unexpected will always happen."

In the memories of the Xu family brothers and sisters, since they can remember, their father has always been at odds with the prince, and they have to fight for right and wrong over any trivial matter. No matter what the image of their father is in their eyes, it is the moment they meet the prince. Disintegrated in an instant.

"Tell me about this, the two of them are about to get married, and they are still fighting each other like this, how decent is it?"

Mrs. Xu pinched the handkerchief and clenched her hands tightly. What kind of troubles are these.

Xu Yunyao put his hands on hers and gave her a comforting smile, "Mother, don't worry, daddy knows these things well, the two have been fighting for many years, if they get along naturally like ordinary people, That's weird!"

"Okay, but after tonight, we'll be busy." Mrs. Xu pulled out a hand, patted the back of Yun Yao's hand, and then held her hand.

"What?" Xu Yunyao was a little puzzled, not quite understanding what it meant.

Mrs. Xu smiled, held Xu Yunyao's hand and arched forward, "Princess Shengyang means to settle the marriage as soon as possible, which is also His Majesty's intention. Prince Qin cannot stay in Shangjing for a long time."

"Ok!"

Xu Yunyao responded gently, looking at her legs covered by her dress, her face flushed suddenly.

Zhennan Palace.

Compared with Xu Xiangye, the king of Zhennan was not much better. He was drunk and had to be helped even to get off the carriage. Qin Zhan supported the prince and sent him all the way to the room. Put the person on the bed.

After the person was settled, Qin Zhan planned to go back to the house. After the eldest princess arranged someone to take care of the prince, she followed Qin Zhan out of the room and asked when she saw no one outside the house.

"Why didn't my mother and concubine say anything about you before, the position of this world's concubine is absolutely impossible to belong to that person, you remember, this marriage is very satisfied, mother and concubine is very satisfied, in the future, I will treat Miss Xu's family well, do you understand?"

"My son knows that his mother doesn't like her, and he also understands that this marriage is a gift from His Majesty, so he will definitely not postpone it." Qin Zhan knew very well in his heart that with her status, it was absolutely impossible for her to be liked by Princess Shengyang, nor I understand that Xu Yunyao must go.

After hearing his affirmative answer, Princess Shengyang finally let go of her worries, "My concubine knows that you must be somewhat dissatisfied, but you have to understand that your wife must be a well-informed young lady from an aristocratic family."

"Son understands." Qin Zhan was very clear about the meaning of these words, and he understood why his mother said that, but he couldn't refute even the slightest bit, because it was right for this world to marry a woman of the right family.

"My concubine likes the second young lady of the Xu family very much, and she must treat others kindly after she gets married in the future."

Although she knew what kind of temperament her son had, Princess Shengyang couldn't help reminding him, after all, there were too many variables in the matter of feelings.

"Well! My son understands." Qin Zhan knew in his heart that even if he didn't love her, he would treat her with respect.

Seeing her son agreeing so readily, Princess Shengyang felt relieved, "Then go and rest!"

"The son is retiring, and the mother and concubine also rested earlier."

Qin Zhan responded, bowed and then retreated. To be honest, this Miss Xu family really impressed him today, not only her dance, but also her ability to dance with those who made things difficult for her. Getting along with each other quietly is worth a high look just for this alone.

The next day, the prime minister's mansion.

"Ma'am, there is a happy lady outside who brought some things and said she is here to discuss marriage, do you think you want to let her come into the mansion?"

Nanny Qi, who was in charge of Mrs. Xu, ran in very anxiously and told Mrs. Xu what the guard had said.

"Quick, bring people in quickly, you go in person."

Mrs. Xu thought to herself, Princess Shengyang moved really fast. She just said last night that she would finalize the marriage. She didn't expect to invite a matchmaker to come to the door early this morning. She was afraid that she would neglect the visitor, so she ordered Nanny Qi to bring the marriage to her. Some people came in, and told Mother Xu to go there in person.

After listening to Madam Qi's order, Nanny Qi thought that this must be to set up a date for the second lady, so she was full of joy and walked quickly to the door.

Nanny Qi was standing by the door, and she saw that Mrs. Xi had brought a lot of things, several boxes.

"This matchmaker, my eldest lady, please come into the back room and talk." Nanny Qi called out to the woman at the door.

The matchmaker was full of smiles, and her makeup was bright, and she felt festive when she saw it. She was fanning herself with a fan at the moment, and when she heard people from the mansion calling her in, she smiled even more happily, and quickly responded: "Hey, this Here we come."

Seeing the matchmaker waving, the gift-carrying man behind him lifted up the box on the ground and quickly followed. The onlookers on the street saw the matchmaker and her party entering the mansion, and they all speculated whether they were sent by the Zhennan Prince's mansion.

Mrs. Xu was drinking tea in the hall, when she saw a group of people coming in from a distance, she immediately put down the teacups, straightened her dress, and sat upright waiting for them to come in.

When people approached, the matchmaker was also a capable person, and immediately smiled, "The old lady has seen Mrs. Xu."

"It's said that it must be a good thing for Mrs. Xi to come to the door. What's the matter with you this time?" Mrs. Xu glanced at the boxes behind the matchmaker. She never thought that she brought so many gifts just to set a date. You can rest assured.

Seeing that Madam Xu is so kind, the matchmaker became more courageous, stepped forward a few steps, and waved her fan a few times, "Madam said yes, so there must be a happy event, it's a big happy event!"

"Well, let's talk about it." Mrs. Xu raised her teacup and took a sip of tea without looking at the matchmaker.

"The old lady is here this time for the eldest son of Prince Ji's Mansion..."

"Pfft~~" Before the matchmaker finished speaking, all the tea that Mrs. Xu hadn't swallowed yet spewed out.

Nanny Qi hurried forward, wiped Madam Xu's mouth with the handkerchief on the table, and then wiped Madam Xu's dress with the handkerchief pinned to her body, "Madam is all right, drink slowly."

Mrs. Xu coughed twice, she felt better at last, gathered herself together, looked at the matchmaker's complexion turned colder, "Whose family did you just say?"

Seeing his wife like this, Nanny Qi also understood that this trip would probably be in vain, although she knew it clearly in her heart, but she still had to hold it well, right, it won’t work this time, isn’t there another family?

"The old lady came here for the eldest son of Prince Ji's Mansion, and asked to marry the third lady of Xu Mansion."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu's complexion darkened and she was extremely displeased, but she still didn't say anything out of the ordinary, and still treated each other kindly, "My third daughter is still a little younger, and she wants to be filial to her parents for another two years. Matchmaker, you went back to Prince Ji's Mansion."

"This..." The matchmaker frowned slightly, as if a little embarrassed, then smiled again, "Okay, the old lady will report back now."

If it was an ordinary matchmaker, she would definitely not leave so easily, she would definitely talk about it, but this is the residence of the prime minister, how dare she be presumptuous, after getting Mrs. Xu's response, she immediately left the prime minister's residence with the box, The people outside the door were really quick to see the bustle, and they would come out without getting a stick of incense when they entered the house. It seemed that the talk was definitely over.

After those people left, Mrs. Xu expressed her displeasure, "It's true that anyone dares to come to our house to propose marriage. Although Yun Sheng was not born to me, she has always been treated the same as Zhi'er and Yao'er. , how could she be betrothed casually."

"Ma'am, don't be angry, you just got mad." Nanny Qi said, adding some more tea for Madam Xu.

"How can you not be angry? Who doesn't know that this son of Ji's palace eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles all day long, and lies drunk in the fragrance of fireworks and willows. As long as he really loves his daughter, who would be willing to marry his daughter to such a person."

Mrs. Xu took a sip of tea to suppress her anger, and continued: "Thinking that my family is a legitimate son who will inherit the throne in the future, and my family is a concubine daughter, I am afraid that my family will be superior to them in their hearts. I am afraid that he will still say that it is us." The Xu family doesn't know what to do!"

"Oh, ma'am, it's up to him to think what he wants. Anyway, our young lady is under your control. With my wife around, I wouldn't marry the young lady to such a dude." Nanny Qi took over the girl. The pastry handed over is Madam's favorite horseshoe cake. Madam may feel better after eating it.

"You! You are trying to make me happy." Mrs. Xu picked up a piece of pastry on the plate, but her heart was warm. Nanny Qi is her dowry maid, and she has been following her for so many years. It's not like Nanny Qi understands herself so well.

The back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Since Xu Yunyao danced last night, the injury on her leg has become even more painful. Fortunately, Qin Zhan sent ointment, so she might not be able to get out of bed today. How can she feed the fish in the garden like this.

"Miss, what's wrong with Miss San, why did you come here crying?" Ying'er looked at the person who was wiping away her tears and trotting over, and told Xu Yunyao who was seriously feeding the fish.

When Xu Yunyao heard what Yinger said, she looked up and saw that it was Xu Yunsheng, she hurriedly passed the fish food in her hand to Yinger, and quickly called her over, "What's wrong with the third sister, come here quickly."

The girl who was still crying with her face covered, heard Xu Yunyao's voice, immediately came to the pavilion, hugged Xu Yunyao, and sobbed in her arms, "Sister, I really have no face to face people."

Xu Yunyao listened in a daze, straightened her hair, pinched her little face, "Sister, take a look, it's okay, she's still so beautiful, why don't you have the face to face others."

"Sister, I don't know. I heard from the laundry lady in the mansion that today the man from Prince Ji's mansion came to propose marriage for his son, saying that he wants to marry me!" Xu Yunsheng said, holding Xu Yunyao's arms tightly.

It turned out that this little girl was crying because of this matter. It seems that she has really grown up and knows to worry about her marriage. Xu Yunyao and Ying'er looked at each other, and both of them were holding back their laughter. Seeing her like this, Xu Yunyao He wanted to tease her even more.

"Isn't that a good thing? My Sheng'er is going to be the princess, and she will be the princess in a few years. What is there to cry about?"

"Hmm~ Elder sister, you don't know something. I heard from the servant girl that the eldest son of Prince Ji's Mansion is a bastard. He hasn't married a regular wife yet. How many concubines and concubines are there in the family, let alone singers and dancers... "..."

The more Xu Yunsheng said, the more uncomfortable he felt, and the louder he cried, "I heard that he either goes to Fireworks and Willow Lane every day, or works in restaurants and gambling houses. Why does my sister marry her?"

Seeing Xu Yunsheng crying so sadly, Xu Yunyao also felt a little distressed, and quickly comforted the girl, "It's alright, alright, don't cry, don't worry, parents know it well, and they will definitely not marry you."

"Really?" Xu Yunsheng looked at her, a little in disbelief, "But those maids said that Madam let those people into the house, and the matchmaker brought several big boxes of gifts?"

Xu Yunyao rubbed Xu Yunsheng's little head, looked at her tenderly and said, "Don't worry, my sister will guarantee you."

"But······"

"Second miss, the little princess of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has come and said that he is asking you to go for an outing!"

It was Xiao Si at the door who came to deliver the message, running out of breath, presumably he must have gone to Mrs. Xu to report first, and then ran over again, it must be that Mrs. Xu couldn't pay attention, so she asked him to come here to ask for instructions.

Xu Yunyao didn't know how to comfort this little girl. Once this girl started to cry, it would be endless. Now that's all right, you can take her out to relax. Going out to play will always calm this girl down.

"Sanmei, do you want to go out with me to relax?"

"Can I go too, the princess won't be angry, right?" Xu Yunsheng's temperament has been a little weak since he was a child, he always looks forward and backward in everything, and he is extremely timid, which makes the family worry a lot!

"My sister said yes, of course it is possible, don't worry!"

Xu Yunyao patted her little head, and then asked the maids to go down to get two cloaks and some food. After preparing for a while, they slowly went out.
