Chapter 145 Good News 1 (peeping)
My mind was empty until my sister pulled her sleeves, and Ren Xianhong turned his head blankly and returned his thoughts.
Ren Zhenzhen stared at the lucky bag in his hand, with a look of confusion and a little joyful. She liked Sister Xie, so she naturally hoped that Brother would marry Sister Xie. "Brother, have you returned it to Sister Xie? When will it be back in your hands?"
Ren Xianhong immediately stuffed the lucky bag into his sleeve, pretending to cough lightly to attract his sister's attention, but his ears couldn't help but get hot.
Mrs. Ren was waiting for news, looking forward to her children coming back. After knowing that she was defeated, she hurriedly set off firecrackers. When she returned to the flower hall and asked the two of them why they came back so late, she heard her daughter mention that she met Xie Yuanniang on the way, and Mrs. Ren's eyes immediately lit up.
She looked at her son first before tentatively saying, "You are destined to be together. The second girl is literary and has a good personality. She is very good at contacting her several times. But she doesn't know what kind of family she will marry such a good girl."
He seemed to be muttering to himself, but it was heard by someone. He asked his son next to him, "Ji Zuo, you are eighteen years old this year, and the spring exam has passed. After the palace examination, it is time to talk about marriage. Do you have a girl you like? If you only care about telling your mother, you can help you see each other. Every year, the girls in Jinling City will tighten their hands. If you have the middle exam, you have to start early."
Ren Xianhong's face became slightly warm, but he did not refute like in the past. At first glance, Mrs. Ren looked like she had a family, and exchanged glances with her daughter with a smile, and the mother and daughter smiled.
Ren Xianhong's ears were hot, and his hands were clenched together. A bright smile flashed in his mind. At the same time, his mother said that he was not young. He wanted to start a family and start a career. It was better to marry a familiar woman as a wife than a stranger. As for the rules and etiquette, he could teach him slowly in the future.
Several families were happy and some were sad, but the atmosphere at Yang Shilang's mansion on the other side was not very good. Yang De didn't care about the gloomy face of his mother sitting below, coaxing her grandmother beside her to laugh and then said his purpose.
"Grandmother, this time the grandson of the spring exam was ranked 20th in the first grade. Do you want to reward the grandson?"
Old Mrs. Yang laughed and scolded, "You only know what you think about me all day long, so your father will inevitably scold you again if he sees it."
He said that, but he still asked in pain, "Tell me, what have you fall in love with?"
Yang Dedao, "This time I'm not interested in my grandmother's stuff. My grandmother always said that I should get married when I was old. I wanted to ask my grandmother to help me ask for a marriage."
The person who has always been playful suddenly wanted to get married. Mrs. Yang, who was sitting below, looked shaking and stared at Yang De a little deeper.
This concubine's son has caused trouble for her a lot on weekdays, and I don't know what kind of monster he is going to be.
"Brother De has grown up and knows to marry a wife." Old Mrs. Yang loved the concubine's grandson beside her. "Tell me, which girl I like, my grandmother asked your mother to help you propose marriage."
Mrs. Yang sneered secretly, saying that those who only know how to visit brothels on weekdays, who would marry a girl to him? I don’t know what luck he had this time, but he actually passed the spring exam.
"Although the door is a little lower, he has literary talent. He is the second girl of the Zongren Mansion Xie Zhuo's family." Yang De couldn't forget when he saw people during the tribe debate. After the Spring Festival, the families said that they had divorced each other, and he was afraid that the person would be stolen if he was one step too late.
"Thank you?" Old Mrs. Yang didn't go out all year round, and didn't know that, she looked at Mrs. Yang below, "Brother's wife, do you recognize that girl?"
Mrs. Yang pursed her lips and curled her slightly, "Other daughter-in-law may not know, but this second girl Xie knows. The two beauties in Jinling even broke into the top scholar building. Who knows that Jinling is famous? Although the brother of the Xie family is low, the Xie family's in-laws is the Kong family, the largest scholar in Jiangnan. The second girl Xie is the granddaughter of the Kong family."
After saying that, Mrs. Yang glanced at the eldest son sitting on it, "I heard that the Xie family favored Miss Xie Er, so how could ordinary people be willing to marry her?"
A concubine's son dares to miss the two beauties of Jinling, and he really doesn't know the level of the difference.
Mrs. Yang was angry that the old lady was a concubine's eldest son, and she was so happy that she wanted to see how the old lady was rubbed.
"So that's it." Mrs. Yang was silent for a moment, and then said, "What is important for a woman is virtuous. After getting married, she takes care of her husband and children, she is the rule of law. Wencai is nothing but superficial things and cannot be used as food and drink. Although our brother De of our family is a concubine, he was raised by me. A small fifth-rank head daughter, our family has not despised her for being worthy of her. How can she choose the right thing to do? Tomorrow you will go and have a conversation."
Mrs. Yang happily agreed, "My wife knows, she will go to Xie Mansion early tomorrow morning."
Seeing that the matter was so easy, Yang De had to coax Mrs. Yang again. Mrs. Yang no longer sat down and stood up to leave. When she walked to the yard, she could still hear the laughter of the old lady in the flower hall behind her. She curled her lips.
The next day, Mrs. Yang arrived at Xie's mansion early in the morning. Xie's father came back to rest and did not go to the duty. When he heard that the guests from the mansion were coming, he went to the front yard and left Kong's family to entertain guests in the flower hall of the main yard.
There was almost no contact between the two palaces. Kong and Mrs. Yang also met at the banquets of the Prince's Mansion. Yang Shilang's Mansion was close to the Prince's Mansion, and Mrs. Yang would also say that naturally she was favored by the Prince's Princess.
Today, Mrs. Yang took the initiative to come to the door. Kong knew that there was something wrong, so she asked after being polite, "It's time to be busy after the Spring Festival. It's rare that you have time to sit on me."
So there must be something, just say it.
As he asked in a blunt manner, Mrs. Yang smiled and put down the teacup in her hand, "To be honest, I'm here for nothing. Today, I'm just giving up my face for the children in the house."
Kong became more and more confused when he heard this, thinking to himself whether Yuan Niang had provoked the girl from the Yang family again?
"Our De Ge, who passed the first 20th list this spring exam this year. As soon as he knew the list, he immediately asked us to come to our old lady and said that he was the second girl from Zhongyi Mansion. Although De Ge was born in a villain, he was raised by our old lady. Everyone in Jinling City knew about this. I think the wife also knew about our mansion, so I didn't hide it. Even our master was a little bit in love with him."
When Kong heard this, his heart sank straight. Mrs. Yang was not here to propose marriage, but to humiliate people. She said that the old lady raised her, but she also mentioned that everyone in Jinling City knew about their Yang family, and was not just belittling the concubine's son.
The Yang Mansion is all messy about their own affairs, but now that we are dragging Xie Mansion into it, we are just looking down on Xie Mansion.
Kong said with a smile, "Our Master Xie family is just a fifth-rank chief. Yuan Niang was spoiled by us as a child. How could he be worthy of your eldest son? I am afraid that you will be in vain today."
