At the same time, in Lantian County, in the front yard office of Qin Mansion.
Xiao Changxi, who has an outstanding temperament and beautiful appearance, and Xiao Meiniang, who is plainly dressed and plain in appearance, are sitting side by side on the sofa.
In front of them stood a petite and pretty woman.
This woman is none other than Xiaoqing, the chief accountant of Ximeng Tower.
At this time, Xiao Qing's eyebrows were lowered, and her two little hands were holding the corners of her clothes uneasily.
From her line of sight, she could just see the body parts below the heads of Xiao Changxi and Xiao Meiniang.
Xiaoqing was in a daze. She hadn't noticed before that Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Meiniang's figures and sitting postures were so similar.
If you don't look at the appearance of the two people, you can hardly tell who is who!
[I don’t know if the slave family will be able to have such a beautiful hip line and a proud mind in two years. ]
Just when Xiaoqing was stunned.
Xiao Changxi, who was wearing a plain dress, a bun, and a veil, suddenly asked:
"Qing'er, please tell me in detail how the guests in the building argue about the husband's marriage?"
"Where did they get the news?"
Xiaoqing nodded and said obediently:
"Before I come back, I asked shopkeeper Guo to inquire about it."
"Nowadays, those who discuss the young master's marriage in the building are mainly divided into two groups."
"One group of people is mainly composed of the noble children of the court. They insist that the person who has made a marriage contract with the young master is the princess of Danyang County, the legitimate daughter of the royal family of Hejian County."
"According to them, the prince of Hejian County personally announced this marriage during a banquet with friends two days ago."
"During this period, the Crown Prince of Hejian County detailed the process of how Princess Danyang pursued the young master and how she captured the young master after she fell in love with him at first sight."
"It is precisely because of this that the news of the engagement between the young master and Princess Danyang spread among the elite circles in Chang'an in just two days."
"Moreover, during this period, the second son of Fang Xiang's family, the legitimate son of Duke Yi Guo, and the legitimate son of Duke Wei Guo all came forward to testify and said conclusively that this was indeed the case."
Xiao Changxi frowned slightly when she heard this, and couldn't help but think of a figure who likes to wear bright red dresses as much as Yang Zijun.
[Jun'er seems to have had some trouble with Princess Danyang over dressing issues. ]
Thinking of this, Xiao Changxi's brows furrowed even more.
"Since it has spread among the nobles of Chang'an, the Hejian County Prince must also have heard about it. Didn't he stand up to refute the rumor?"
Xiaoqing shook her head, thought for a while and said:
"By the way, when Shopkeeper Guo inquired about the news, he also discovered that the children of the Du family in Jingzhao Mansion were also talking happily about the love affair between Princess Danyang and the young master."
Xiao Changxi became even more confused after hearing this.
"What does this have to do with the Du family?"
Xiao Qing patted her head and said angrily:
"I forgot to mention that the princess of Hejian County, the biological mother of Princess Danyang, is from Jingzhao Du family." ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
"Therefore, this also confirms the authenticity of this marriage."
Xiao Changxi was stunned when she heard this.
She murmured:
"It shouldn't be like this! Prince Hejian clearly knows..."
"Could it be that..."
The plain-looking Xiao Meiniang on the side also frowned after hearing Xiao Changxi's muttering.
Xiao Changxi rubbed her eyebrows and couldn't think clearly for a while.
At this time, Xiao Meiniang on the side picked up a glass of water from the coffee table, handed it to Xiao Changxi's hand, and said:
"If you can't figure it out, just let it go."
Xiao Changxi nodded, took off her veil and took a sip of water in front of Xiaoqing.
Xiao Qing, who saw Xiao Changxi's true appearance for the first time, was stunned and couldn't help but say:
"Madam, you are so beautiful! Just like the fairy written in the book, no wonder the young master..."
Xiao Changxi's fair face blushed slightly, then she straightened her face and said displeased:
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Mr. Lang, is he the kind of person who covets beauty?"
Xiao Qing, the maid and accountant, quickly patted her face twice with her little hands and said with a smile:
"Yes, yes, slave Zhang Zui."
"Young Master is not such a superficial person."
Xiao Changxi rolled her eyes, put on her veil again, and asked:
"You only told half of what you said. Who is the wife of the other group of people who is engaged to the husband?"
Upon hearing this, Qing'er immediately stood up straight and said:
"The other group of people are mainly people from Dongshi. They insist that the person who has made a marriage contract with the young master is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of E."
"This news was reported by the servants of the Duke of E's family in Chongrenfang yesterday during the purchase. According to them, the Duke of E sent a letter home the day before yesterday, specifically informing the family of the marriage between the young master and the legitimate daughter of the Duke of E. The two ladies."
"It is rumored that the Duke of E State deliberately mentioned in his family letter that the young master has always been in love with the legitimate daughter of the Duke of E State, and has come to his door many times to beg to marry the legitimate daughter of the Duke of E State, but to no avail."
Hearing this, Xiao Changxi couldn't help but picture a figure dressed as a scholar with red lips and white teeth.
"It's just because the Duke of E does not want to marry his beloved daughter to a civil servant, so he has not agreed to the young master's request."
"It wasn't until the army arrived at Longyou that Duke E was moved by the young master's perseverance and repeated visits to ask for his hand in marriage."
"Therefore, I made a bet with the young master. As long as the young master makes extraordinary achievements on the battlefield, the Duke of E will betroth his legitimate daughter to the young master."
"It was precisely because of this bet that the young master showed his prowess in the battle of Xinglong Mountain. With only a few hundred soldiers, he killed 20,000 elite enemy cavalry."
"After this battle, the young master's performance completely moved the Duke of E. As a result, the Duke of E fulfilled the agreement with the young master on the spot and agreed to the young master's request to marry the legitimate daughter of the family."
"Since ancient times, stories of heroes and beauties are the easiest to move people. Therefore, as soon as the news about the Duke of E came out, it immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the people."
"Before I came back, I heard that the tea house and restaurant in Pingkangfang had invited a storyteller to attract customers, and they planned to tell the story day and night of how the young master proposed to marry the legitimate daughter of the Duke of E."
When Xiao Meiniang heard this, her eyebrows suddenly stood up.
The two big white rabbits lying in the chest-high skirt were about to rush out.
Seeing this, Xiao Changxi reached out and gently pressed Xiao Meiniang's thigh to comfort her.
Then he turned his head, looked at Xiaoqing and said:
"Qing'er, go on."
Qing'er secretly glanced at Xiao Changxi, and then said with a sly expression:
"My servant was in the accounting room yesterday, counting the accounts, so I didn't hear anything."
"Until today, two groups of people with different status gathered in Ximeng Tower. Both sides insisted on their own opinions. After the quarrel, the servant learned about this."
After Xiao Changxi listened, she was silent for a while, waved her hand and said:
"I already know about this."
"Qing'er, please go down and rest first."
When the maid Xiaoqing saw that Xiao Changxi did not blame her, she could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. After wishing Xiao Changxi a blessing, she turned around and exited the office.
When the office door closed, Xiao Meiniang, who was filled with anger, could no longer hold back.
She slapped the coffee table hard and said angrily:
"Bastard! Fortunately, I still thought he was a brave and resourceful man, but I didn't expect him to risk his life for a woman."
"What a brainless pervert!"
