In the evening, Lu Ze had dinner at Shou'an Hall.
I briefly described to the old lady the lively scene of the Duke of Qi's mansion today. The old lady was not very interested. It was only after she heard that Princess Yong and the Lord Jiacheng County were also here that her eyes changed slightly.
"That's right, mother."
"Today, the young master also found me."
After listening to Lu Ze's words, the old lady immediately put down the bowl in her hand. After a long silence, she sighed heavily and said, "Tomorrow I will be very tired when I come back today. It seems that it's because of the young man-in-law's incident. .”
The old lady is a human spirit-like existence.
Naturally, it can be felt that the young father-in-law's enthusiasm for the Sheng family's youngest daughter has exceeded ordinary limits.
I just didn't expect that the young master at this stage would still miss Ming Yatou.
"You're following very well."
"In the final analysis, the marriage of the only son of the Duke of Qi cannot be decided by him alone. The princess and his wife are the most honorable. Although our Sheng family has taken root in Bianjing in the past two years, it is still difficult to marry the Duke of Qi. Home is still too high a goal.”
"And Prince Yong's family is now very proud in Bianjing City."
As she spoke, the old lady put down her kuaizi, and her eyes suddenly focused on Lu Ze, who was sitting opposite her.
At this time, the old lady seemed to have thought of something, her face was full of shock, she stared at Lu Ze, and murmured: "Oh my God, you are telling me this not because you really want to marry Qi Heng tomorrow, are you?"
Lu Ze just ate the steamed fish in front of him and smiled without replying.
The old lady frowned when she saw Lu Ze's reaction. The situation in Bianjing City was suddenly changing. Under such a big storm, no matter how big the Houmen's mansion was, there was always the danger of overturning, let alone their grandeur. Home.
"The storm in the capital is very strong."
"It's not something that our small Sheng family can calm down."
Lu Ze picked up the brand new handbag placed on the small table next to him, gently wiped his mouth after eating, smiled, pointed to the fish in front of the old lady, and said softly: "When I was in Yangzhou, there was Fish sellers often have a saying on their lips."
"The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish!"
...
At this moment, the Duke's Mansion of Qi was extremely quiet.
The mansion, which was quite lively during the day, became audible at this moment. The maids and slaves only knew that there was no one left to serve the princess today. The young prince stayed in the Kongqing Pavilion where the princess was for a long time.
"On a day like today, you must be angry with Yuan Ruo. Seeing that he is getting older, it is not easy to preach like he did when he was a child. Boys at this age need to have self-esteem the most."
The Duke put on his casual clothes and was sitting by the bed, speaking softly to his wife in front of him.
Princess Pingning was sullen at this moment: "Humph, how could he say such things to me, a mother, and actually want to marry the concubine of the fifth-rank official's family? Today's banquet is so large, and he doesn't want to make friends. I got to know a few elders, but I was also very unfamiliar with the Lord Jiacheng County. Before leaving, the princess even asked me if Yuan Ruo was sick."
"Oh, I am sick."
"It turns out it's lovesickness."
Duke Guo of Qi held his forehead, looked at the flickering candlelight not far away, and sighed: "You and I only have a child like Yuan Ruo. The child is smart and motivated. He has not allowed his parents to worry about it since he was a child, and he has never followed him. We have made any request, but this time, he did not comply with your wishes as a mother."
….
Seeing his wife's silence, the Duke continued: "Actually, two and a half years ago, I realized that Yuan Ruo was very interested in the little girl in Brother Sheng's family, and he was doing some strange things in the house every day. It was only later that I found out that I wanted to give it away, but unfortunately it was returned every time."
"The daughter of a scholar knows how to be polite and proper."
"But now, I think Yuan Ruo really likes that person..."
Before the Duke of Guo finished speaking, he heard Princess Pingning sneer: "I know you are angry with that Sheng
Your Excellency admires him very much and thinks that he has the so-called talent of concealment, but now he is only a fifth-rank official after all. Are you really willing to ask a concubine of a fifth-rank official as your daughter-in-law? "
Princess Pingning knew that Sheng Hong was barely a figure and was doing well after entering the capital.
But she doesn't believe in the so-called hidden talent.
She only knew that the official's health was deteriorating. Princess Pingning had grown up in the palace, so she would go to the palace from time to time to inquire about the situation. If nothing else happened, the official would recognize Prince Yong as the future prince.
Then Princess Jiacheng will be the future princess. If her son can have such an in-law, why worry about the future?
The Duke of Guo waved his hands and sighed: "I just want Yuan Ruo to be able to do what he wants."
Thinking of the way her son had just kneeled in front of her, Princess Pingning naturally felt heartbroken. After all, it was the flesh that fell out of her body. She had been following her wishes as a mother over the years, but her attitude in this matter was the only one. So determined.
"They say a strict father is a loving mother. If you love your son, I also love my son."
"If my son really likes that girl, why don't we wait until the county lord comes and ask for her hand in marriage to make Brother Heng a side wife. She can be regarded as a noble concubine."

Duke Guo of Qi began to cough violently.
He quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't even think about it. Regardless of Brother Sheng's career prospects, Cang Bai is a man with a bright future. It is said that he did an excellent job in the Hanlin Academy. Brother Sheng is a scheming person. You see. Looking at the marriage of two sons and one woman in his family, do you still want to let his daughter come to my Qi family to be a concubine? Can his old lady agree? "
Ping Ning Junchu suddenly laughed: "I told Yuan Ruo just now that if I couldn't resist, I would let Minglan be my concubine, but you two had exactly the same reaction."
"Pity."
"It can only be said that our two families are really not destined to be together."
"If the rank of the Sheng family were higher, there would be room for negotiation, but now the storm in Bianjing City has begun. After the new king takes the throne, who knows whether the Sheng family will have the same fate as it does now?"
...
Many people lost sleep that night.
Minglan was clinging to the old lady at the moment. The old lady briefly told Minglan about her conversation with Lu Ze. Minglan did not answer, but kept her eyes open in the darkness at night.
"Ming'er, you grew up beside me, and grandma knows what a good child you are."
"Yuan Ruo is also a good boy, just the two of you..."
Minglan felt that the corners of her eyes were wet, she put her head on her grandmother's arm, turned her back to her grandmother, and choked up slightly: "Grandma, I know, don't worry, I will forget all this tomorrow."
The old lady sighed.
But a trace of an idea that she originally thought was impossible was igniting in her heart.
What if the Sheng family really...
Bu Xiang is having fun
