In response to Mr. Huang's scolding, the servants on the side felt aggrieved. However, due to their status, they did not dare to show their faces to their master. At the moment, they could only carefully explain to their master, Mr. Huang: "We originally also I thought about telling the second young master, but the old lady said that the second young master was practicing in seclusion and asked us not to disturb him. In addition, the people sent by the Protector's Palace were urging us, so the old lady ordered us to go As soon as I got busy purchasing the things needed for the recruitment, I was all overwhelmed with work. It wasn’t until the old lady went to the Duke Protector’s Mansion in person to hire the people, that I thought of informing the second young master.”
"Okay, I get it!"
After listening to the explanations of the servants, Mr. Huang directly dismissed them - the most urgent task was to prevent his mother from hiring him. As for these servants who had neglected their duties, he would deal with them after he came back!
With this thought in mind, Er Shao Huang directly mounted his beloved horse with a hint of Pegasus blood.
Ignoring the rule that "horses are not allowed to gallop in the capital", Huang Ershao mounted his horse and hurried towards the Duke Protector's Mansion.
Previously, Er Shao Huang had just learned from the Protector Jiang Tianmo that the emperor had created a new "East Factory" matter. Although he felt at the time that the emperor did not distrust him, he was unavoidable to be worried. things.
As a result, his mother was lucky enough to go directly to the Duke Protector's Mansion to propose marriage...
Once this matter reaches the emperor's ears... No, this matter will definitely reach the emperor's ears!
At that time, the entire Huang family may be completely wiped out because of mother's operation.
Therefore, what he has to do now is to prevent all of this from happening, so that there is still room for change in everything.
…
…
Originally, it was very common for high-ranking families to marry and hire each other, but for some unknown reason, the news of the Huang family's hiring from the Duke Protector's Mansion spread throughout the capital in a short period of time.
Although the party that was hired was the Duke Protector's Mansion, so it was noticed by high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital. Therefore, it was not surprising that they could get the news immediately about the Huang family's appointment to the Duke Protector's Mansion. It makes sense, but you know that even the ordinary people on the streets know about this, and even the poor people living in some nooks and crannies near the suburbs of Beijing also know about this... Then this matter There's something wrong with that.
At the same time, the ladies who had received the invitation from Jiang Xinyao, the eldest daughter of the Duke Protector's Palace, but did not attend yesterday's poetry meeting, were originally feeling upset because they could not get a "beauty". When they heard about this , and suddenly I felt a lot better.
You used your beauty to bribe others in an attempt to restore your reputation, but in the end, you still had to marry the infamous Mr. Huang?
As for those noble girls who participated in the poetry meeting yesterday and were awarded "beauties", while they felt pity for their sister Xinyao, they had nothing to do - after all, "the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers", if the two elders If you agree to the marriage, no one can change the final outcome!
…
…
On the other side, the incident took place in the Duke Protector's Mansion.
Jiang Xinyao, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, who simply tidied up under the service of the maid, hurried to the main hall of the Protector's Mansion - at this time, the old lady of the Huang family and her grandmother of the Jiang family were discussing a kiss there. !
"well--"
At this time, in the main hall of the Duke Protector's Mansion, the old lady of the Huang family, who had come to discuss the marriage, was sighing in a pretentious manner,
"It turns out that I was not strict in raising my son. Even if he did such a scandal with the daughter of your family, after all, it is my Huang family who cannot stand up to your Jiang family!"
However, although he pretended to be sad, the joy shown in the slightly raised corners of his mouth could not be concealed no matter what.
At this time, the old lady of the Huang family had other concerns in her mind:
"My little son, I'm really worried about him. He's such an old man, and he's still wandering around outside all day long. Although he's helping the emperor, he's done so many things. , was charged with so many crimes, but in the end, he didn’t even get an official title. If I, the mother-in-law, don’t help him, he will really be delayed in his life! "
"Now, I have finally reached the Protector's Palace. Regardless of whether the things that happened a while ago are true or false, I must first settle them down and make a marriage agreement with the legitimate daughter of the Protector's Palace. It will not go wrong. !”
"In case my silly son who is loyal to the emperor is unwilling to agree to this marriage, I also specially transferred the servants around my silly son and asked them all to go out to purchase betrothal gifts until my silly son came to his senses. By the time he arrived, it was already done, and my mother had already helped him capture the noble daughter of the Jiang family!"
"If it hadn't been for what happened a few nights ago, how could we, the Huang family, have such a good thing as marrying the legitimate daughter of the Protector's Palace?"
"Originally, I have always been worried about which lady from a well-known family would be willing to marry my second son because of his reputation as a stinker... Hey! I didn't expect that, but he has done a great job!"
"It's good now. Now that I'm married to the legitimate daughter of the Protector's family, my official position should be able to move up a bit, right?"
"The master always says that I am stupid. Once I accomplish this quietly, I will definitely make the master's eyes light up when I report the good news to him!"
"In addition, there are my good sisters... Every time we get together, they always like to tease me secretly, thinking that I don't know. However, at that time, because of the reputation of my second son, I only I can pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend I don’t know about this. Now, my second son is married to the eldest lady of the Protectorate Palace. I want to take a closer look at the next gathering. Who among them dares to laugh at me? "
…………
Mrs. Huang, who was thinking happily about this, suddenly heard a slightly frustrated voice coming from outside the door: "Grandma, I won't marry!"
Mrs. Huang's thoughts were interrupted and she raised her head with some displeasure. Then, she saw a peerless face that even though she was angry, she still looked like a fairy.
"This... must be the eldest lady of the Protector's Palace, right? She is indeed beautiful! No wonder she has the title of 'the most beautiful woman in the capital'! My second son is very lucky now!"
Old Mrs. Huang nodded slightly with joy at first, but when she heard clearly what Jiang Xinyao, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, said, she suddenly felt a sense of displeasure in her heart - "The orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker." , when did it become necessary to seek your opinion as the client regarding marriage proposals?
