Mrs. Tai is really rich

In the back garden in the afternoon, although the sun was shining brightly, making people feel a bit hot, the whole garden was filled with all kinds of flowers and was full of vitality.

Princess Nankang specially arranged the afternoon banquet here.

There are a few long tables, a few screens, and many flowers as decorations. Some beautiful lanterns are tied high on the trees, and some ice cubes are placed around them. Although it seems very simple, it is still elegant. , enough to see the owner’s ingenuity.

The long table was filled with delicacies, wine and delicacies. Looking at the delicious food and smelling the fragrant wine, Gu Ruosu and others could not help but be aroused.

Princess Nankang invited everyone to sit down together. As soon as they sat down, a pipa sound suddenly sounded. Gu Ruosu and others looked along the place where the sound came from. They saw that there was a small pavilion surrounded by curtains in front of them, and the breeze blew by. , he saw two women holding pipa sitting in the pavilion, carefully tuning the strings in their hands.

After a few tunings, the two pipa players played a song. "The sound is quiet, the syllables are comfortable, and a kind of aloofness appears under the fingers; it seems that there is a cold fragrance entering the heart, and one must calmly connect to get it." "Three Plum Blossom Lanes".

"Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms" is a famous song. People here have listened to it quite a lot, but very rarely. In one piece of music, they can simultaneously hear the white and fragrant plum blossoms and the noble character of frost and snow that the song wants to express. Although Gu Ruosu, who had no research on ancient music, put down the chopsticks in his hands at this moment, and was intoxicated by the wonderful sound of pipa, as if he was in winter, witnessing the scene of plum blossoms blooming alone in the cold winter, until the end of the song, Only then did everyone come back to their senses...

"Where did the princess find these two masters? They are so accomplished. When they first heard it, it was like heavenly music." Gu Ruosu praised without hesitation.

Princess Nankang smiled and then said:

"These are the two masters I invited from Miaoyinfang. Now, in Kyoto, their pipa is the most famous. Madam, you can like them."

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Princess. These two girls of my family are really enjoying themselves following me to your house today. In the future, I hope that Princess can let them come and walk around in front of you more often."

"It's natural. I'm very happy about the granddaughters in your family, Madam. I really want these juniors to come and play more. I think Lan'er thinks so too." Princess Nankang looked at Qi Lan said.

Upon hearing this, Qi Lan immediately nodded and said:
"It's natural. If the two sisters are willing to come here often, that would be the best. Auntie loves flowers and music. I think the two sisters must have a lot to talk with auntie, especially sister Yihua, who has long heard that , Sister Yihua is especially good at music, I think, if I have a chance, it would be great if I could appreciate it in the future."

As soon as Qi Lan said this, no one cared whether the change of topic was reasonable or not. The focus of the conversation immediately shifted to Qi Lan and Xie Yihua.

Xie Yihua was also shocked by Qi Lan's sudden words, and was a little at a loss. However, looking at everyone's gathered eyes, he immediately adjusted his thoughts and said solemnly:

"Brother Qi is so complimentary. I'm just occasionally interested in music and have dabbled in it. If there is an opportunity, thanks to all the elders and sisters and brother Qi, Yihua will definitely present a song to everyone at the right time. .”

After Princess Nankang heard her nephew's words, her eyes kept silently lingering on Xie Yihua. Princess Nankang looked at Xie Yihua's flower-like beauty and elegant and generous demeanor, and she was immediately satisfied. , although, privately, Princess Nankang hoped that her nephew would choose her father as the prime minister as a token of gratitude.

"Go and have someone take out the pair of white jade pendants I put in the box and give them to Lan'er. If he really likes a girl, he can wait until the banquet is over to give them to her. Don't miss it. Such a good marriage."

The setting sun was like blood, setting slowly, dyeing the entire sky a colorful red. As the sun set, a group of people drove in leisurely.

Gu Ruosu took two sisters, Xie Yihua and Xie Yiyi, in a magnificent carriage and left the Princess Nankang's residence and returned to the Duke of Yan's residence.

Gu Ruosu's carriage stopped steadily at the door of Duke Yan's mansion. There were rows and rows of flowers at the entrance of the mansion, full of life. For the first time, Gu Ruosu's daughters-in-law, Haishi and Wei, were waiting respectfully and politely at the entrance of the mansion with many servants, waiting for the return of Gu Ruosu and others.

After the carriage stopped, the only sound that could be heard was the neighing of horses and the sound of horse hoofs echoing in the air. The driver got out of the carriage first, and the servants waiting at the door also hurried forward to lead the horses. After entering the stable, he immediately moved out the stools and respectfully invited Gu Ruosu and others to get off the carriage.

When Haishi and Weishi saw Gu Ruosu's head emerging from the carriage, they immediately stepped forward and helped Gu Ruosu up from left to right.

"Mom, be careful. My daughter-in-law will help you out of the car."

"Mom has been working really hard today. My daughter-in-law has ordered people to prepare cakes and tea in the main hall. Mother might as well use some."

"You are all concerned, but I am really tired today. I will just go back to my yard to rest in a while, and you don't need to accompany me."

"By the way, why are there so many flowers at the entrance of this house? I didn't see them when I went out this morning." Gu Ruosu looked at the thousands of beautiful flowers in front of her and couldn't help but frowned in confusion and asked.

"Replying to mother, these were sent by Princess Nankang this afternoon. The princess said that the two families are destined to have more contacts in the future, so she sent some flowers that bloomed just right. Let us also enjoy the fragrance of flowers."

"By the way, mother, the princess specially confessed that the second young master of the Qi family took care of that pot of peonies. The second young master of the Qi family has always respected you, and I heard that you love peonies, mother, so I brought them here specially. Dedicated to you, mother.”

"How about your daughter-in-law be sent to your house?" Haishi said.

Gu Ruosu didn't actually love peonies, and knew that sending flowers was just an excuse. Peonies had always been reserved for the royal wife, and they were of great significance. Come to think of it, Princess Nankang sent this pot of flowers in Qi Lan's name. I just want to use her words to confirm the candidate for this marriage.

Gu Ruosu took a silent breath, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on Xie Yi and Xie Yihua behind her.

"This pot of flowers is too delicate. I've always been lazy. Although I love peonies, I don't know how to care for them. In addition, the color is too pink. I'm old, so it's not suitable for me to come here. But after all, it belongs to the Second Young Master Qi. A lot of thoughts come from..."

"It's up to you, Yihua, to take good care of this peony for me. You must do your best."

As soon as Gu Ruosu said these words, everyone present understood the profound meaning.

Wei was beaming with joy at this moment, no longer caring about his manners, while Heide's smile was frozen on his face at this moment, and his exquisite armor tightly grasped the handkerchief in his hand.

Gu Ruosu had a panoramic view of the performances of his two daughters-in-law. Although he could understand their mood and situation at the moment, Gu Ruosu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, lamenting that neither of his two daughters-in-law could relax.

"Yes, my granddaughter will take good care of this pot of flowers and will never let her down." Xie Yihua said generously.

(I am the cute dividing line)
The pot of pink and delicate peonies was quickly moved to Xie Yihua's boudoir amidst Haishi's reluctance and Weishi's joy.

"Hurry up and get some good fertilizer, get some water, and invite two gardeners for me. You must take good care of this pot of flowers. If there is anything wrong with this pot of flowers, be careful. Your skin." Wei said.

Xie Yihua looked at his mother and a group of servants working hard for a pot of flowers. She even regarded the pot of flowers as a treasure. She couldn't help but feel a little funny. She picked up a book and Xie Yihua flipped through it casually. while saying:
"Mother, you don't have to be like this. Although peonies are delicate, the climate in Kyoto is suitable for the growth of peonies. As long as you take good care of them on weekdays, nothing will happen to you."

"You kid, you are ignorant. This is about a pot of flowers. Does this just mean a pot of flowers? This means..." Wei suddenly swallowed her words, looked at the maids around her, and said:
"You guys should step aside first. The girl and I have something to say. No one is allowed to come in without my order."

"Yes."

The maids quickly exited the room in an orderly manner and closed the door sensibly. Suddenly, only mother and daughter Wei and Xie Yihua were left in the huge room.

"My dear Hua'er, don't underestimate this pot of flowers. It seems to be just a pot of flowers, but it represents your marriage, your marriage to Qi Lan, the second son of Qi from Prince Shouguang's palace. Although, This second son of Qi will not be able to inherit the title of Prince Shouguang in the future, but after all he is a relative of the emperor, a phoenix son and a grandson~"

"In addition, this Second Young Master Qi is not just one of those playboys. He is rich in knowledge and has a lot of knowledge. As long as your grandparents are willing to help, then this Second Young Master Qi's future is limitless~"

"Although Prince Shouguang's residence is not peaceful and there are many dirty things, after all, you are marrying into a high family and your husband is a sensible person... Your grandparents also protect you... I don't think they will let you be wronged..." Speaking of this, Wei's eyes couldn't help but become moist, as if she was worried about Xie Hua's future life.

Xie Yihua keenly caught Wei's emotions, quickly put down the book in his hand, sat next to Wei, took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the tears from the corners of Wei's eyes, and then said in a pretense of relaxation:

"Why is my mother crying so well? Is it possible that my daughter has to marry a high-ranking family, and isn't my mother happy for me? This is a good marriage that even my sister Yiyi didn't ask for."

"How come, you have to marry a good son-in-law from a high family. As a mother, I am really happy for you. Your younger brothers and sisters, including your father, are also happy for you!" Wei said immediately.

"As the eldest daughter, if you marry well, your mother and your father will be proud. Even your younger brothers and sisters, especially those born from concubines, will be indispensable if you can marry into a good family in the future. There is a reason for you..."

"But...but..."

"You are the meat that fell out of the mother's ten-month pregnancy...compared to these things...whenever I think of...the dirty things in Prince Shouguang's house...I just can't bear to let you go through this hardship...even if So what about fine clothes, fine food, silks and satins..."

"It's better to find a good family with a well-off family, a simple population, and no dirty things, and live your whole life smoothly..."

"...Sometimes, I really feel that...the life in this Duke's mansion is extremely boring...there are so many reasons in a marriage..."

"It would be better not to have this Duke's Mansion..."

"Mother, be careful!"

Thanks to Hua Ben, he was very moved after listening to Wei's words. But seeing that Wei's words were getting more and more out of control, he quickly spoke up to stop Wei. He also got up and looked around to make sure that no one was around. , and then sat back down next to Wei.

Looking at Mr. Wei who was a little embarrassed, Xie Yihua softened his voice, took Mr. Wei's hand and said:

"Mom, this is the Duke's Mansion. There is a big family living there. Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth. Even if there are only two of us in this house, we have to be careful..."

"I'm just complaining..."

"Mother, you also said that this is the Duke of the State of Yan, and my grandfather is the Duke of Yan, a man who can influence everything in the court. Although my father is only a minor official, his surname is Xie after all. He is a descendant of the Xie family. He will be both prosperous and destructive. , stop saying these words..."

"Besides, although Prince Shouguang's residence is a bit chaotic, it's all on the surface. Every family in Kyoto has some dirty things, but it's just a matter of hiding them underneath and showing them on the surface... "

"The whole of Kyoto knows the things about Prince Shouguang's house. My daughter has known about it for a long time, and she is willing to face it."

"Besides, my grandmother also told me today that she will definitely not wrong me about this marriage. She will discuss it with my grandfather and wait for the Qilan Golden List to be named before allowing me to formally marry him. At that time, she will prepare a gift for me. Not to mention the generous dowry, he would also ask his grandfather to find a way to help Qi Lan move away from home as soon as possible.

"As long as we live in separate houses, those dirty things will be far away. At most, we can only stay in that den of tigers and wolves for a short period of time, and my daughter will be as high as the sky."

After hearing this, Mr. Wei's worries eased a little, and then he said:

"That's good...that's good...your grandmother really cares about you...having her speak for you in the Duke's Mansion will make my mother feel more at ease..."

"It's just that... I didn't let you marry the one you love, but I still have something in my heart..."

"Mother...you don't have to have regrets...marrying the second son of the Qi family...actually...my daughter is willing...even if...he is not the son of Prince Shouguang, my daughter is also willing..." Xie Yihua's face was filled with emotion. Said shyly.

"What?! Yihua, you actually..."

"Well... mother... it's exactly what you want..." Xie Yihua lowered his head and whispered.

"When did this all happen? How come my mother doesn't know anything about it?!" Wei asked in shock.

Xie Yihua subconsciously touched the white jade pendant around her waist at this moment. Thinking of the way Qi Lan carefully handed the jade pendant into her hands when she left Princess Nankang's mansion, she couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Then, Xie Yihua looked directly into Mr. Wei's eyes again, sorted out what he wanted to say in his mind several times, and then slowly opened his mouth, telling Mr. Wei about his girlish thoughts... (End of Chapter)
