Su Zi held the tray and approached slowly, with a decent smile on his face, and said softly, "Master Lian, Mrs. Lian, please have some tea."
Even the master's eyebrows were filled with joy, and the curve at the corner of his mouth was harder to suppress than a machine gun.
Mrs. Lian was sitting on the mahogany chair, her face was dignified, but her eyes were filled with a smile that couldn't be concealed.
Lian Yan stood next to Xie Wanzhou. It took a lot of effort to barely restrain the joy in his heart, and he gently hooked her little finger out of sight.
The Lian family is beaming with joy, but the Houfu is lifeless.
Fang Xu sat at the top, with a flat smile on his lips, and looked at Lian Yan without any trace, with a calm expression.
Liu Fanyin held Xie Yinyin on her knees, and the smile on her lips was exactly the same as Fang Xu's.
A sensible person can tell at a glance which family has a wife and whose daughter.
Obviously, the Marquis was very unfriendly to Lian Yan, a pig who specially picked cabbage to eat.
"Mrs. Yongcheng Hou, since the two children have mutual understanding, can you see if our two families..." Mr. Lian only said half of what he said, and could hardly hold back his smile, "The Houfu can make any requests, and we will It’s all satisfying!”
Fang Xu curled his lips and spoke in a gentle, unhurried tone, "As long as Wanzhou gets what he wants and everything goes smoothly, I won't ask for anything else."
When Xie Wanzhou heard this, his nose suddenly sore.
"Mrs. Hou, in terms of age, I am two years older than you. If you don't mind, I will call you sister." Mrs. Lian smiled kindly and said leisurely, "Don't worry, I will give Wanzhou only the right one." It will be more or less, and our family has been in the family for eight generations, and there has never been a rule about taking concubines."
After finishing her words, Mrs. Lian turned her head. When the maid behind her saw this, she stepped forward smartly and said with a smile, "Mrs. Hou, this is the house deed that our master and his wife have prepared long ago. As long as the master and Miss Xie get married, the two will People can then build their own homes.”
Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the two deed papers, his eyes darkened slightly.
This is somewhat interesting.
"This is not considered a betrothal gift, it is just a gift from the two elders to the children." Mr. Lian grinned and lowered his attitude, "I renovated this house, and there are only two people away from the Marquis Mansion. The distance of three hundred steps is not that far compared to even home."
"As long as Madam Hou shows an attitude, all problems will be solved by the Lian family."
Fang Xu lowered his eyes, turned to Su Zi and said, "Put the deed paper away and keep it for Miss."
This sentence is attitude.
Hearing this, Lian Yan breathed a visible sigh of relief and looked at Xie Wanzhou with a grin, showing a row of white teeth.
Xie Wanzhou noticed his gaze, her earlobes felt a little hot, and she lowered her head slightly, not daring to meet his hot gaze.
Mr. Lian clapped his legs and laughed loudly, "Since the two families have reached an agreement, why not wait until three days after Wanzhou's daughter gets her hairpin, then hold the engagement banquet?"
Fang Xu nodded and chuckled, "Let the two children take charge of their own lives."
"It's okay." Mr. Lian was overjoyed, winked at his son, and whispered, "You brat, I really give your father credit!"
Lian Yan laughed dumbly and leaned towards Xie Wanzhou.
Under Master Lian's vigorous publicity, within an hour, everyone in the capital knew about the marriage proposal between the Marquis and the Lian family.
After receiving the news, the noble ladies came to the Hou Mansion one after another with gifts to congratulate. For a while, the backyard of the Hou Mansion echoed with the silver bell-like laughter of the girls.
But one person's arrival was beyond everyone's expectations.
"What?" Xie Wanzhou sat on the stone bench, raised his eyes to Zhutao, and frowned, "You said the ninth princess is here?"
"Yes." Zhutao nodded, with a flustered face, and whispered, "The news from Chunzhu, the gatekeeper, said that it is coming straight towards our Yunyuan!"
Xie Wanzhou closed his eyes for a few moments before whispering, "Don't panic, let's see what she is going to do first."
Song Huixin grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and didn't care much, "What are you afraid of? There are so many of us here, why are we afraid that she will do it hard?"
"That's right." Li Changle nodded in agreement and joked with a smile, "With Song Huixin sitting here, I don't dare to fool around if I borrow her courage!"
Yun Qinghe covered his mouth and chuckled, and said leisurely, "Relax, the Ninth Princess has an arrogant temperament. She was often chased and beaten by Hui Xin when she was a child. Now that she is in charge, the Ninth Princess can't do anything to us."
Xie Wanzhou sighed and whispered, "I just don't know her purpose, and I don't know what she is doing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the closed courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and Yuan Mi walked in swaggeringly. He looked around, and when he saw Song Huixin, his footsteps stopped instantly.
"Song Huixin?" Yuan Mi's eyes widened and he shouted, "Why are you everywhere!"
Song Huixin sighed, spat out the melon seed rinds in her mouth, raised her face, and said impatiently, "When I marry Xie Li, Wanzhou will be my sister, why can't I be here?"
"You..." Yuan Mixin blushed, pointed at her and cursed, "You are shameless!"
"What's the use of knowing shame?" Song Huixin looked at her and said loudly, "You know shame. Have you caught Xie Li?"
Yunyuan and Jingyuan are very close, separated by only a wall.
The girl's free and easy voice spread to the next door, leaving lingering sounds.
Xie Li was sitting in the courtyard holding a book and studying. When he heard this, his hand that turned over the book just stopped in mid-air.
Seeing the young master stunned, Chang Fan couldn't help but laugh, carefully filled the tea cup, and whispered, "Miss Song is really a hero among women."
Xie Li came back to his senses, his brows and eyes were filled with joy, he shook his head and laughed, and his eyes fell back on the book.
On the other side of the wall, Yuan Mi blushed angrily and raised his voice to shout, "How can I, your majestic princess, like other people's husbands?"
"How could you like someone else's husband~"
Song Huixin imitated her tone and repeated her words again. There was a strange feeling in and out of her words, and he almost rolled his eyes to the sky, "It's true that there is no three hundred taels of silver in this place."
"You!" Yuan Mi stomped his feet in anger, his face turned red and he couldn't think of a retort.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Xie Wanzhou hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "The Ninth Princess is here today, but do you have something important to do?"
Seeing Xie Wanzhou, Yuan Mi's face looked better, but he was still awkward, "I heard that it was you who gave me the trick to make my father give up the idea of getting married?"
Xie Wanzhou lowered his head and said softly, "The result is determined by the emperor. Wanzhou dare not take all the credit."
"Don't deceive me!" Yuan Mi's eyes turned red and he whispered, "My mother and concubine have told me, if it weren't for you... I'm afraid I would have married to the northwest..."
Yuan Mi sniffed, waved behind him, and said quietly, "There are rumors in the capital that you and Lian Yan are married. This is what my mother and I specially prepared for you..."
Xie Wanzhou was a little surprised and looked sideways at Zhu Tao. The latter understood, walked over cautiously, and took the long box handed by the palace maid with trembling hands.
"Why are you trembling?" Yuan Mi bit his lower lip and was very angry when he saw Zhutao's appearance, "How can this princess blatantly harm your master in broad daylight?"
Zhutao was so frightened that she quickly took the long box and whispered, "Ninth Princess, forgive me!"
Yuan Mi sighed and glanced at Xie Wanzhou, a little uncomfortable on his face, "That's all... I just came to send you a blessing. Regarding the marriage... I owe you a favor!"
After saying this, Yuan Mi turned around and left, his back looking a little lonely.
"Ninth Princess, stay!"
Xie Wanzhou's voice came from behind, stopping Yuan Mi in his tracks.
Yuan Mi turned around in confusion, his eyes falling on Xie Wanzhou's smiling face.
Xie Wanzhou pursed her lips and smiled softly, looking at her quietly, "If the princess doesn't mind, how about we sit down and chat for a while?"
Yuan Mi paused slightly and looked around, hesitating, "You...are you willing to pay attention to me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Song Huixin cracked the seeds and said in an impatient tone, "If you don't come here, I will eat all the newly roasted sunflower seeds!"
Yuan Mi's heart moved, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. He lifted up his skirt and ran towards the courtyard, but his tone was still arrogant, "You are not allowed to eat the rest, it is all mine!"
