The lord insists on me being responsible for him

Chapter 132 The matchmaker's words are always hype

At this time, Fourth Aunt Zhong already knew that Mama Feng was from the Prince Qing's Mansion in Jingcheng.Prince Qing's mansion is dilapidated, and Prince Qing has long been famous for being weak and poor, but the title of prince is nicer, and he can't compare with Dongyang Hou's mansion in terms of family wealth and power.As for the mansion of the virtuous king, the old virtuous king has been ill for many years, and basically has no real power, and his status is inferior to that of Dongyang Marquis Jingrui, the leader of the army.

After grasping the current situation, Fourth Aunt Zhong's voice was obviously much stronger.Hearing Yan's saying that her daughter would not be a concubine of the Hou's mansion, she laughed.

"Maybe my sister-in-law doesn't know it yet. Being a concubine of the Marquis's Mansion is not something you can do just because you want to. It's your daughter's blessing that our Madam Tai fell in love with you. Don't forget your identities..."

Fourth Aunt Zhong shook her peach-red hands, looked from Yan's shoulder to Yan Ruhai behind Yan, grinning and said:
"Being a concubine of the Marquis is already a blessing for your family for eight lifetimes. You must know that being the concubine of the son of Dongyang Hou's mansion is much richer and more dignified than being the concubine of the prince. I brought all the gifts, sir. You can't let me take it back. You have to agree today even if you agree, and if you don't agree..."

"No! Not one of them. My daughter will not marry any of you princes and princes."

Yan Ruhai interrupted Fourth Aunt Zhong's words, and walked from behind Yan's to the center of the courtyard.On the stone platform where the vegetables are dried in the middle of the yard are the dowry gifts from Dongyang Houfu.Two bolts of silk, a jewelry box, a box of tea leaves, and two sets of silver plates, bowls, and chopsticks.

The four betrothal gifts filled the table, which was particularly dazzling in the sun.

Most of the betrothal gifts from farmers are mainly rice, grain and copper coins. I have never seen such a grand betrothal gift.The people surrounding the Yan family were still guessing which one the Yan family would choose. Some people said with certainty that Yan Ruhai would choose Dongyang Houfu. The Houfu brought such a generous dowry and was full of sincerity. mean.At this moment, when they heard Yan Ruhai resolutely rejecting the prince's marriage proposal, they immediately started discussing again.

Amidst the buzzing discussions, Yan Ruhai called his younger son Yan Xiaoman over.Yan Xiaoman had been lying on the window of the hut to peek at the movement outside, when he heard his father shouting, he jumped out of the window directly.

Yan Ruhai asked his youngest son to send the matchmakers out, and specifically emphasized to Fourth Aunt Zhong to take everything away.

At this moment, Mother Feng spoke, she first bowed to Yan Ruhai and the Yan family, and then said with a smile that she was here to propose marriage to the Yan family on behalf of Prince Qing's residence.King Qing wanted to marry Miss Yan Shishi, so he asked Yan Ruhai and his wife to agree to the marriage.In addition, Yan Shishi's younger brother, Yan Chujiu, has been sent to Qingcheng to study art by King Qing, and Yan Shishi's shop in the capital is also run with King Qing. , she would also like to invite Yan Ruhai and his wife to go to Beijing with her to reunite with Yan Shishi...

"Ah, the prince wants to marry Yan Shishi as his wife!"

"My lord, didn't Yan Shishi become a princess?"

"Isn't that right, the princess is of court rank, the Yan family is in trouble!"

……

The human voice was in a turmoil.Even Gu Weitang, the little overlord of the village who has been hiding in the corner of the courtyard wall, heard it.Last time in front of the gate of Yan's Courtyard, the person who sent Yan Shishi home from the princess mansion gave him a beating, and the scars were just right in the past two days.

At that time, he felt that it was not easy for Yan Shiyi to be able to get the maid of the princess' mansion and the attendants of the virtuous king's mansion to send her home.His uncle who worked as a yamen servant in the capital also advised him not to provoke the Yan family again.Any noble mansion in the capital is not something a small village tyrant like them can afford.If something happens, maybe the whole family will suffer accordingly.

When Yan Xiaoman heard Feng's mother said that she would take his parents to the capital, she became anxious.

"what about me!"

Yan Xiaoman jumped up, how could his sister leave him behind when she wanted to reunite with her parents.

"Yo……"

Mother Feng laughed, "Of course you will go to the capital with me. Prince Qing will teach you how to read."

Mother Feng let go of her hand, and Duan Yan, who couldn't hold back her desire to jump away, stepped forward and grabbed Yan Xiaoman's hand.The two boys ran into the hut hand in hand.Yan Xiaoman was eager to share the pastry his mother had just made for him.

"Hey, which prince should I marry? It turns out to be Prince Qing..."

Sister Hong leaned against the door frame with her arms folded and laughed.She had given up arguing with Fourth Aunt Zhong, but she was not polite to Mother Feng who suddenly appeared.By the way, I would like to take this opportunity to compete with Fourth Aunt Zhong in eloquence. Fourth Aunt Zhong is only a few years older than her, so why is she the first-class matchmaker in the capital!

"If I remember correctly, after that Prince Qing inherited his father's throne, he has been relying on medicine to survive. The wall of Prince Qing's mansion... I remember it seems to be about to collapse..."

"Stop talking nonsense! My family Qing Wang has already recovered from his illness."

Mother Feng turned to look at the Yan couple, and asked if she agreed to Prince Qing's marriage.

Fourth Aunt Zhong and Sister Hong said in unison that they could not agree, which was to push Yan Shishi into the pit of fire.Without the queen mother's will, the prince can't decide to marry a wife by himself, not to mention whether the broken houses in Prince Qing's mansion can be occupied or not.

Sister Hong approached Mama Feng while talking, and suddenly pulled up the corner of Mama Feng's skirt.

Mother Feng didn't pay attention to Fourth Aunt Zhong and Sister Hong at all, and kept looking at the Yan couple.I didn't expect Miss Hong to come up with this trick.Lifting her skirt directly reveals her worn shoes.

Mother Feng slapped Sister Hong with her hand, and Sister Hong staggered backwards and fell on Fourth Aunt Zhong.The two women in bright clothes fell on top of each other and fell to the ground, making a series of ouch sounds...

The onlookers burst out laughing.

"Don't believe the words of those two wives, I can guarantee that my family, Qing Wang, is sincere to Miss Yan, and will not marry unless she is the only one."

Mother Feng straightened her skirt and recovered her expression.

"Sorry, we can't agree to this marriage. Please go back, please go back!"

Yan Ruhai shook his head.

Of course he didn't believe a woman who came to her door to kiss her.Based on his simple thinking, there is no pie in the sky, how could the prince marry a peasant girl, even if the prince is willing to marry, there must be something wrong with the prince.If the prince is a bloodthirsty monster who abused his wife again, wouldn't he push his daughter into the fire pit.

Yan Ruhai tugged at her husband's back skirt, Yan Ruhai turned her head, and the couple exchanged glances.They all made clear their determination to refuse marriage.

Let's talk about the matchmakers in eight villages with a radius of ten miles. Which of them didn't talk about the other party when they were pulling the matchmaker.The mother in front of her looks sincere, who knows what kind of heart she is in.

But Mother Feng's speech was more comfortable than Fourth Aunt Zhong's after all, and Yan Ruhai's tone of voice was very polite to her.

At this time, someone outside the courtyard suddenly shouted:
"Prince Qing came to see Yan Shishi's parents."

Xiao Qian left the crowd in front of the door, and walked slowly into the Tuyuan of Yan's family, as if a god descended from the earth amidst awe-inspiring gazes.
