Da Suining

Chapter 261
Blue fading means rejection.

Matchmaker Zhao said that she was rejected a lot when she was a matchmaker. She is experienced and naturally not angry: "As the saying goes, boys should get married when they go to college, and girls should get married when they go to college. The son is not young now, it's time to start a family and start a career. Rare fate , and now I found it at the son's door, if I miss it, I won't be there next time."

"I never believed in fate."

Matchmaker Zhao was deflated and looked at Princess Guo in embarrassment.

Princess Guo wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked someone to warm tea for Matchmaker Zhao.

"Since they're all here, don't rush to refuse, it's also their wish." This is what Princess Guo meant.

Lan Fa had to sit down.

"The young master didn't ask which family sent me to kiss. You must be busy with errands at ordinary times. You don't care about these things about the love between your son and daughter. But now that you are old, you also made it clear. The one who sent me to kiss is the Mei family."

Xuan Guomei's family.

There is no second company that can match Lanfa's status.

Concubine Mei Gui is very powerful in the palace.

Her elder brother Mei Tong is quite knowledgeable in leading troops, he is the one who goes to the frontier to guard his business, and he is also the one who goes back to Qingcheng to defend the city.The emperor is a hundred hearts.

His daughter, Mei Jing, is really the best among the daughters of Qingcheng.

Even when it comes to Guo Li, the princess born to Concubine Mei, in front of Mei Jing, she can't put a high score on it.

It is said that as soon as Mei Jing turns 16, those who want to marry her have already broken through the threshold of the Mei family.

The son of a first-class lord or the grandson of a second-rank official, a matchmaker would go to Mei's house every now and then, even if it was windy or rainy, a matchmaker would come to the door.

In the eyes of these princes, Mei Jing is naturally unattainable.

Lan Tui is on official business, so he seldom pays attention to these trivial matters.

I also know very little about the girls in Qingcheng.

He and Mei Jing only had a superficial relationship, and they didn't have a deep friendship.

He was a little surprised when the matchmaker came to the door and it turned out to be Mei Jing.

The matchmaker was a little surprised to see him, and only thought he agreed: "Sure enough, the young master has heard of Miss Mei. Miss Mei is also very delicate and precious at home, and her fingers do not touch the spring water. She says east is east, and she says west." Even Xi, there are more than a dozen maidservants around her. Even Uncle Mighty dare not put on airs in front of her, and can only pamper her. However, Miss Mei is also well-bred. It's nice to talk too. I heard that the old man wanted to talk about marriage, so he gave the old man five taels of silver, saying that the snowy road was slippery, and asked the old man to hire a carriage. There is no such a considerate girl."

Princess Guo accompanied me with a smile.

Lan Fade frowned.

I don't know what I did wrong, but Mei Jing fell in love with it.

In such a cold day, the snow covered the ankles, and the matchmaker had to go for a trip.

Judging by the matchmaker's attitude, it seems that she will not give up if she can't make a deal.

Getting married is a big deal.

It was only a few encounters, but the Mei family actually let the matchmaker come to the door. Perhaps it was Mei Jing's intention. Her family really doted on her, and she was allowed to do whatever she wanted.

Lan Tui didn't use a cup of tea, so the matchmaker urged him: "I see that the young master seems to have some interest in Miss Mei."

"How did you find out?" Lan Fai raised his eyebrows.

The majesty and indifference of the imperial guards frightened Matchmaker Zhao.

"Young master." Matchmaker Zhao said with a smile: "The family I mentioned this time is really the same as the young master. If it is an ordinary family, I would not dare to come to the door. Miss Mei. She is sitting at home and the person who is asking to marry You have to step through the threshold, it's Lord Lan's blessing that she can take a fancy to Lord Lan, Lord Lan, don't be in the midst of blessings and not know your blessings."

The last few words were specially confessed by Mei Jing.

Blue faded a little sullen.

What does it mean to be in the blessing and not know the blessing?

Why, do you still want to force Liang into prostitution?

The matchmaker's tone was inexplicably annoying.

"How do you feel, son?"

"It won't work."

"Why?"

"There is no reason to not like it."

"This..." Matchmaker Zhao looked at Princess Guo.

Princess Guo had no choice but to say in embarrassment: "Let him think about it, don't rush everything."

"Don't think about it, I can't do it with her." Lan Fai was very firm.

"Cough cough." Princess Guo coughed a few times and told the matchmaker to go back first: "It's too late and the road is not easy to walk, you can go back and answer. Today's business will end here."

"Then..." Matchmaker Zhao was embarrassed, wanting to say something, but when Princess Guo got up, she had no choice but to back out.

Matchmaker Zhao left Changxinhou's mansion, and as soon as the carriage she was riding in came out of the alley, she saw a figure pulling the reins.

The carriage stopped.

The matchmaker shivered.

Opening the curtain, Lan Fai stood in the wind and snow.

Mr. Pianpian, stand against the wind.

Snowflakes fell on his neck, which was white.

"My lord, have you changed your mind?" Matchmaker Zhao was delighted.

"There is no need to go to Changxinhou's Mansion in the future, if—"

"what if?"

"If you still want to say goodbye to Mei Jing."

Matchmaker Zhao was taken aback.

Qingcheng wanted to beg her to come to Meijing Mansion to make a kiss, not to mention the sons of wealthy families, but in this month, she accepted two orders.

It's all Wangmei Jingwang's neck that has grown.

Only this blue fading, do not know how to flatter.

Also too ignorant of flattery.

With Mei Jing's wealth, isn't it a good match?
Still want to refuse?
Before Matchmaker Zhao could refute, Lan Tui patted the horse's belly, the horse was frightened, raised its hooves and ran into the wind and snow, so scared that Matchmaker Zhao limp and howled in the car.

Changxinhou Mansion.

Princess Guo has been waiting in front of the red lacquer gate for a long time.

Originally, he didn't want Lan Huai to chase after the matchmaker, but unexpectedly he stepped on the high wall and went out.

I can't help my mother when I grow up.

Princess Guo patted the snow on his body lovingly.

"Even if you don't want to, don't give the matchmaker too much face. Isn't it the face of the Mei family?"

"She wants to marry by force, and she doesn't seem to care much about my face."

"Speaking of which, our Changxinhou Mansion is still supported by you now. Although I am a princess, the princess is only a name after all. Once the emperor and courtiers, the princess can't protect the Changxinhou Mansion forever. You Father, even though he is the Marquis of Changxin, his words in the palace are not very important. Now that you and your concubine are grown up, you should not only live for you, but also live for the Marquis of Changxin."

Lan Fade was speechless.

"That Mei Jing, I saw her before when I entered the palace. Although she is average in appearance and short in stature, her appearance is changeable. How good is it to be good-looking? But the mighty uncle behind her should not be underestimated. If you After marrying her, our family and theirs will be able to get better in the long run."

Lan Tui got a headache from the word Mei Jing.

But was stopped by Princess Guo: "I know what you think, but"

Lan Tuo turned her back to Princess Guo and stopped.

"That Prime Minister Suining is just the daughter of Fourth Grade Prime Minister Daying. Even if she doesn't commit any crimes, she is not good enough for you, let alone her now."

"She didn't do that."

"You trust her so much?" Princess Guo chuckled: "You are young and have never seen the dangers of this world. Mother has walked in the palace since she was a child. Mother has never seen such beautiful people as flowers and jade. Some people , it’s harmless on the surface, but it’s hard to say behind the scenes.”

"Mother, how can you think of others like this?" Lan faded back and stared at Princess Guo's eyes, feeling disappointed.

Princess Guo sighed: "It doesn't matter what your mother is like or others, you can say she is good or bad, but you can't joke about the future of Changxinhou's mansion. Offending the emperor, you have to weigh whether it is more serious or not."

Sleepless nights.

Lan Tui leaned against the bed, quietly wiping the cold knife in his hand.

The snowy night was as cold as this knife.

His clothes are thin, and the corners of his eyes are a little gray.

I don't remember how many nights this was when I sat alone.

Think she was sitting alone like this in prison, right?

How many nights can she sit alone?
he does not know.

Matchmaker Zhao went to Uncle Weiwu's mansion to answer.

When they went there, Mei Jing specially gave the matchmaker five taels of silver, telling her that if things were done, there would be great benefits.

When the Mei family said such words, Matchmaker Zhao was naturally happy.

If this marriage is facilitated, then for the rest of my life, I will be sure to eat and drink without worrying about it.

Mei Jing learned embroidery from the embroiderer in the side room. The gold and silver silk thread in the embroiderer's hands fluttered, and there was blue thread as the base. Looking carefully, on the small round fan, there were golden butterflies embroidered on one side, and golden butterflies embroidered on the other. blue peacock.

Butterflies fluttered, and the silver tentacles came alive.

The peacock spreads its tail and its colors are shining.

Is the famous double-sided embroidery.

The family of Uncle Mighty has a great business, and the embroiderer he hired is also the most famous in the south.

Maybe it was because of the darkness in Xuetian's room, or maybe it was because the embroidery work was too cumbersome, after less than half an hour of embroidery, Mei Jing's wrists were sore.

The maidservants were busy serving with dim sum fruits.

He brought warm water to soak her hands again.

"It's not fun at all, it's boring." Mei Jing put the embroidery needle on the embroidery frame, rubbed her wrist, and looked at the falling snow outside the west window.

It's getting late outside.

sombre.

The snow didn't mean to stop either.

"Why did Matchmaker Zhao go so long?" Mei Jing asked.

"She has already gone to the old man's wife to answer the question, and she is waiting on the porch at the moment, waiting for the girl to summon her."

Hearing this, Mei Jing suddenly regained his spirits: "You didn't pass on the news, and let me wait for so long in vain."

The curtain was lifted, and Matchmaker Zhao brought a gust of wind.

The snow was heavy, and Matchmaker Zhao's lips turned purple from the cold.

"Go and heat up the charcoal fire." Mei Jing leaned on the fox fur bench.

The maidservants added charcoal fire, and the room was already warm, but adding charcoal fire made it even warmer.

Matchmaker Zhao was allowed to sit next to the charcoal stove.

"What's the matter, did you see him?" Mei Jing was a little anxious.

"Yes, yes, I see you, Mr. Lan." Matchmaker Zhao laughed along with her.

"Then tell me."

"Today, when I went to the Marquis of Changxin's Mansion, I realized that I had never seen the world before. That Mr. Lan really needs to have a good appearance and a figure. Mr. Lan, he looks upright and has a tall and straight body. Oh, old man You have to raise your head when you talk to him." Realizing that Mei Jing is short, Matchmaker Zhao hastily changed her words: "If you talk about stature, it is necessary for the sons to be taller, and he is from the imperial army, and his mother is a princess. It’s hard to find a second home in Qingcheng, Miss Mei really has a good eye, so you can’t go wrong when you fall in love with Mr. Lan.”

"It's up to you to say." The maid joked.

"You let her finish." Mei Jing giggled.

"When the old man left, Mr. Lan had just returned, hey, he was covered in snow, and his temples were full of snow. The princess felt sorry for her."

"Then is he cold? Is it cool? Is there a charcoal fire in the mansion?"

"Naturally, that is indispensable. After all, it is the residence of the Marquis of Changxin, so who dares to wait too long." Zhao matchmaker said, "Mr. Lan has changed into homely clothes, but he is still a handsome young man."

"What about the serious business, did you tell me?"

"I've said it. I've told Mr. Lan clearly what the girl meant."

"Is he willing?"

"This—" Matchmaker Zhao hesitated.

"He disagrees?" Mei Jing frowned.

"This—" Matchmaker Zhao stammered.

"You said it." Mei Jing frowned.

"Yes, yes." Matchmaker Zhao said cautiously: "Miss, I also told Changxin Hou's Mansion, thinking that the son of Qingcheng broke through the threshold and wanted to marry your mansion, this Young Master Lan is naturally blessed , was favored by the girl. The princess seems to agree with this matter. She also kept me for tea and talked a lot."

"He doesn't agree?"

"Young Master Lan, it's not that he doesn't agree, it's just that he doesn't know what to say. He doesn't want to get married now."

"Does he want to become a monk?"

"That's definitely not the case. He is the only male in the majestic Changxinhou Mansion, and he will never become a monk no matter what."

"Why don't you marry me if you don't go out? Why am I not worthy of him?"

"The girl is beautiful and beautiful, of course she is worthy of it, she is worthy of it."

"Then you can go to propose marriage tomorrow."

Mei Jing was in a hurry.

Matchmaker Zhao was greatly bluffed.

Lan Tui had warned her not to allow her to go to Changxinhou's Mansion again.

Is that where she, an ordinary woman, goes?

Even if Mei Jing gave a few taels of silver, it wouldn't be worthwhile to sacrifice his life for these taels of silver, right?

How obvious.Lan Fai didn't take a fancy to Mei Jing.

But Mei Jing was very affectionate, but Zhao Matchmaker had no choice but to decline: "The girl is still young, and she is only sixteen now, so I can't rush this matter."

"It's not that you're getting married, of course you're not in a hurry." Mei Jing was annoyed.

Matchmaker Zhao was devastated, but dared not speak.

"Could it be that the guy surnamed Lan didn't like me? He didn't even like our mighty uncle's mansion?"

"This--"

"If he despises our Mighty Uncle's Mansion, he despises the imperial concubine and empress." Mei Jing said with a cold face.

"I want to come to Mr. Lan." Zhao Matchmaker wanted to explain, but Mei Jing kicked over the charcoal stove in front of her.

The fiery red silver charcoal jumped out of the stove, piece by piece, and almost jumped onto Matchmaker Zhao, so scared that Matchmaker Zhao couldn't sit or stand, for fear that Mei Jing would get angry again and kill her.

"Get out yet." Mei Jing scolded: "Do you want to eat this charcoal fire before leaving?"

Matchmaker Zhao felt relieved and ran away quickly.

After running out of several alleys in a hurry, he dared to hold on to the tree for breath.

Sure enough, she is a girl from a rich family, and she is more angry than ordinary people.

Mighty Uncle Mansion.

The maidservants carefully put away the charcoal fire that had been kicked over. Looking at Mei Jing's face, no one dared to talk too much. They cleaned up the charcoal fire, turned on the lamp, and lowered the curtain.

Mei Jing was still leaning on the fox-fur bench without raising her eyes, feeling a little disappointed.

"In Qingcheng, I'm afraid he's the only one who dares to treat me like this. You don't have to drink a toast." Mei Jing rolled up his sleeves, put his hands in the copper basin to wash them, and put the gold back on again. The bracelet inlaid with rubies, when he rolled his eyes, he had an idea: "Just because of him, he also wants to fight with me. Ever since I was a child, Mei Jing has never been unable to get what I want."
