Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 125 Candidates

The two made an appointment to meet in a teahouse in the afternoon.It is the time when autumn is getting stronger, and there is only some heat left in Chang'an City at noon, and the rest of the time is the most refreshing.Zhuhua also likes to go out in this kind of weather, sitting in the carriage, she couldn't help raising the curtain to look at the crowd outside.At such moments, she often has an incredible feeling, like someone observing another world through a certain window.But she is already a person of this world, and she seldom remembers all kinds of past lives, and even the hostility hidden in her heart in the previous life has dissipated a lot.

"I see you can ride a horse next time," Zhuhua said.

Qiu Chu originally advised her not to lift the curtain, but hearing what she said, lifting the curtain was nothing to worry about.She gave up her thoughts of persuasion, and instead looked at Zhuhua with a flattering face.

"Miss, can servants ride?" She has followed Zhuhua for so many years, and she knows a lot of things in Zhuhua Club.

"Yes. But you can't ride in Chang'an City, so we have to go out of the city and ride for a while."

"It would be great if I could live in the village for a while."

"Eldest sister is pregnant, so it's inconvenient to go back and forth. I didn't go this year, but I can go tomorrow." After Zhuhua finished speaking, she lowered the curtain and raised her eyebrows at Qiuchu. Take you out to play for a few years."

"Miss." Who would tease his own marriage like this, Qiu Chu thought a little reproachfully, and then another thought came to his mind.Zhuhua also asked her about her future plans a few days ago. At the time, Qiuchu said that she would be with Zhuhua for the rest of her life. Although this was a bit full of words, she really planned like this. Being with her own young lady is much more interesting than getting married.

The carriage soon arrived at the appointed teahouse. This is the teahouse opened by the son-in-law Xie’s son-in-law of the eldest princess of Yiyang. There are many literati and refined scholars who usually come here. One side of the second floor is reserved for everyone’s wife and lady. You can see the lobby from there. In the current situation, many wives choose their sons-in-law and like to come here.Naturally, Zhuhua didn't come here for this reason, but just liked the quietness and convenience of talking here.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw the carriage of the Marquis Huguo Mansion not far away, so she simply stood at the door for a while and waited for Xu Qingqing.But after standing for a while, she noticed a man with luxurious clothes and profound features standing not far away, looking at her.Seeing that he didn't look like a native of the Central Plains, Zhuhua turned her eyes and probably guessed who it was.It's a coincidence, she pursed her lips and thought about it secretly.

Xu Qingqing got out of the carriage and saw that she was already there, and smiled at her.

"Sister Cheng third."

"Sister Xu." After seeing each other, Zhuhua looked at Xu Qingqing and boasted loudly, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and my sister looks even better. Is your lip balm a new color? It makes your skin as white as yours." Snow."

"Why is your mouth so sweet today?" Xu Qingqing smiled shyly.

The two got along quite well after they met a few times. Xu Qingqing also experienced a lot of things. She had experienced wars in her early years. She was quite open-minded about the world and had her own ideas when looking at things; Needless to say, Zhuhua Well, Ben is an old soul, and the two of them sometimes agree on things.It's just that there was not much to talk about at the banquet after all, and the two of them really became acquainted with each other after they ran into each other while shopping in the street.Xu Qingqing's family is complicated, so it's not easy to ask Zhuhua to visit the Marquis of Huguo's Mansion, and Zhuhua didn't make an appointment to come to the mansion, usually the two of them meet outside.Xu Qingqing knew that Yinhua had a sharp mouth, but after meeting Zhuhua a few times, she knew that her younger sister was not inferior to her older sister.It is rare for Zhuhua to praise others like this, so there must be some reason for her to say so.

"I just envy my sister's beauty. If I were a man, I would definitely marry my sister."

"Spoken nonsense again."

"How can this be nonsense."

"It's a pity that you are not a man, otherwise I don't know how many daughters have been coaxed to go home."

"My sister should feel sorry for the son-in-law Cheng San who doesn't know where he is. As long as I think of such a person who will be beaten and scolded by me every day in the future, let alone a concubine, even if he looks at the woman next to him, he may be beaten by me." A broken leg. Oh, what a pity."

"Nonsense." Xu Qingqing scolded her with a slight frown, dragged her into the teahouse, and asked her when there were no other people around, "What's wrong with you today?"

"It's nothing. Dongdong taught a few people a lesson that day, and some people can't hold back their temper. It will be fine in a few days." Zhuhua joked.

Xu Qingqing was dubious, and only after drinking half a cup of tea did she hear from Zhuhua the reason for finding her this time.

"You mean that His Majesty's new Xihai County King is very likely to make peace with the people of the Hou Mansion?"

"Think about it for yourself, if you want to get married, is it more suitable for the daughter-in-law of the Elector's Mansion?"

"Aren't there still ladies from the parents' and princesses' families?"

"That's the West Sea, the barren land that Chang'an people call it."

"The others are talking nonsense. If it is really a barren land, how can they survive?"

Hearing this, Zhuhua half-truthfully asked: "Sister, would you like to go?"

Xu Qingqing was taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, she responded generously: "It's a place where I can settle down, and it's far away from people and things in Chang'an, so it's quiet."

Today's Mrs. Huguohou gave birth to several sons, each of whom was pampered lawlessly. Xu Qingqing looked coldly at no one to teach them well. These younger brothers were afraid that they would bring trouble to the Huguohou's mansion in the future.If something bad happened to the Marquis of Huguo's Mansion, just like the Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion a few years ago, even married women would not be able to please.Thinking about it this way, her eloped half-sister might not necessarily end well.

"What can my sister do?"

"What can I do?" Zhuhua said with a smile, "You and sister Xie's family are able to talk, and the ones over there are the ones who can do it. This time the Xihai County King's entry into the capital is all related to Marquis Yu It's being arranged."

"In terms of friendship with Dingguohoufu, I'm still inferior to you. I haven't heard such news."

"I didn't hear about it from Dingguohou's mansion." Zhuhua smiled and said sincerely: "Although I can't help you much, I hope that my sister will have a good home. If you don't mind the bitter cold of the West Sea, you are willing to Relatives and friends in Chang'an, it is worth going there. But even if you want to go, you have to find out who the Xihai County King is, if he is really a barbarian, sister still can't go."

Xu Qingqing couldn't help laughing, and said: "Why are you more caring than me? Didn't you learn how to be a matchmaker?"

"I'm younger than those matchmakers, but the others are not bad."

The two joked a little more before Xu Qingqing said sternly: "I see that person knows how to advance and retreat when he does things. It is really rare to find such a way out after being under house arrest in the city for so long."

"It's not all that bad, it's all covered." Zhuhua joked.

"Your mouth. Let's see how you laugh at you in the future."

"I'll wait." Zhuhuapi said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while before going home.When Zhuhua left the teahouse, she paid attention to whether the person just now was still there. After confirming that there was no one, she got into the carriage, thinking whether the other party could pay attention to Xu Qingqing.In terms of appearance, Xu Qingqing wasn't bad, upon closer inspection she was gentle and pleasant, if a foreigner wanted to marry a woman from the Central Plains, Xu Qingqing would be the standard.If your head is stuck and you want to marry someone who is as tough as a grassland girl, you can marry her, although her appearance really doesn't show a tough temperament.

After that, Zhuhua didn't pay attention to this matter any more.On August [-]th, she followed up the post, and Mrs. Yu Shizi invited her to watch the lantern.It should be said that there are not many wives who come out to enjoy the lanterns after they get married. When Zhuhua got the post, she thought it was Xie Zhenyan who wanted to ask her for something, so she agreed. It is related to the marriage of the county king.

She asked Qiuchu to inquire about it, and she knew it was true.Besides her, Xie Zhenyan also invited Xu Qingqing and Jiang Sanniang.It was also written on the post that the eldest son and friends would also come, Zhuhua didn't think much about it at the time, but after thinking about it, this friend might be Bohar.Is she also in the list of family members?Zhuhua thought to herself, this shouldn't be, Bohar and Cheng Dashan have an enmity, why is he having a cramp and marrying the enemy's daughter?Or is he trying to take revenge?

Zhuhua can't figure out Bohar's brain circuit, but if she really chooses with her relatives, she will definitely mess up the matter. She doesn't want to leave the prosperous Chang'an and go to a developing area. There must be many things in this trip. Now, she is used to being at ease and doesn't want to get involved in trouble, and she can't let go of the people and things in Chang'an.

What she didn't expect was that Fang Jiulang also came out this time. The two hadn't seen each other for a month. Zhuhua was a bit surprised to meet unexpectedly on this occasion.Later, when Shizi Yu introduced Fang Jiulang, he mentioned that Fang Jiulang was his fellow student. The two studied under the same great Confucianism, and they have always had a good friendship.Moreover, on such an occasion, if there is only one unmarried man among the three famous ladies, it would be unreasonable. In addition to Fang Jiulang, he also invited Xie Zhenyan's younger brother Xie Erlang.Xie Erlang is the same age as Zhuhua, and he hasn't thought about getting engaged yet, so this time he came here just to make up the numbers.

Xie Erlang knew that this party was for Bohar, and he was happy to watch the fun from the sidelines.In his opinion, Zhuhua and Xu Qingqing, who were dressed low-key, were probably useless, and Jiang Sanniang was probably the candidate.All the girls in Jianghou's mansion are really beautiful. Although Xie Erlang is young, he has a group of fun-loving friends, and sometimes he is called to meet them.He has seen many beauties, and Jiang Sanniang is considered outstanding among them.Compared with her, Cheng Sanniang and Aunt Xu are more ordinary.

The eldest daughter of Xuhou's mansion is not taken seriously in the mansion, and it is no longer news in Chang'an. When she goes out to a banquet, she rarely wears new clothes, and the materials are all unremarkable.It's normal for her to dress up inconspicuously, but why does Cheng Sanniang wear nothing new?Hearing that her elder sister dressed boldly in colors and was the leader in various banquets back then, but it was a pity that he never got to meet him, Xie Erlang was deeply moved.

Jiang Sanniang was indeed wearing very conspicuously tonight. The peony vermilion fragrant cloud gown and skirt with a matching ruby ​​head and face, even if she wore it to the royal palace banquet, this outfit would be grand enough.Jiang Sanniang secretly groaned in her heart, she had asked people that Cheng Sanniang would come, so she deliberately dressed more gorgeously, who knew that Cheng Sanniang was really not at all stealing the limelight like Cheng Erniang, but made her look hard on her own If it was too fierce, it would be great if others misunderstood it.She doesn't want to marry to the Northwest. Compared with Bohar, she has more thoughts on Fang Jiulang, another male guest at the party.

The family had intentionally asked her to marry the Fang family, but this matter was left behind. Nowadays, the daughters of the Jiang family are famous, but no one dares to marry. They are afraid that marrying them will bring disaster to the family. There are precedents of Jiang Sanniang's two sisters. , Others are dubious.Moreover, although Jiang's family is said to be the residence of the Marquis, it is not as important as Cheng Dashan in terms of power in the court, and the officials with poisonous eyes in Beijing know it in their hearts.It's just that no matter how popular Cheng Dashan is, his two daughters have not been married to Gaomen, and his third daughter has not been found for a long time.Jiang Sanniang secretly competed, thinking that she would marry better than Zhuhua. In this way, Fang Jiulang, who had rumors with Zhuhua, would be a good match.

She never thought that Fang Jiulang could fall in love with Cheng Sanniang. Many rumors outside are false and she can't believe it at all.But not long after the group went out, she keenly discovered that the rumors this time were quite credible, and that Fang Jiulang seemed to have some interest in Cheng Sanniang.She frowned slightly, feeling bitter in her heart.

Zhuhua didn't expect Jiang Sanniang to think so. After she found out that Fang Jiulang was coming to the banquet, she deliberately distanced herself from him. He seemed to think so too.But after walking around for a while, when Shizi Yu was introducing the customs of Mid-Autumn Festival in the Central Plains to Bohar, he naturally walked to Zhuhua's side and glanced at her from time to time.

At that time, half of Zhuhua's thoughts were on Bohar. He was indeed the only person she met at the door of the teahouse that day, but she didn't know his attitude, whether he had any intentions for Xu Qingqing?Secretly glanced at Xu Qingqing's not-so-new beige dress, Zhuhua blamed herself for not thinking of sending the dress over in advance, otherwise how could Jiang Sanniang be more beautiful than before.She has deliberately kept a low profile, and her clothes are brighter than Xu Qingqing's.

As if finding her gaze, Xu Qingqing smiled slightly at her.The annoyance in Zhuhua's heart disappeared immediately, and with Xu Qingqing's temperament, she might be able to live well no matter where she went.Even so, shouldn't she just marry someone who is not in the public eye and endure it for the rest of her life?Zhuhua took a look at Bohar, but she was not sure if what she planned for Xu Qingqing was really good, what if he was not a good man?

Xie Erlang walked at the end of the group. He was tall, so he could see the small movements of the people in front of him.What's the situation now?His heart moved slightly, did Jiang Sanniang fall in love with Fang Jiulang, Fang Jiulang fell in love with Cheng Sanniang, Cheng Sanniang fell in love with Xihai County King, and Xihai County King?He seemed to talk to Jiang Sanniang the most.In this way, wouldn't the four of them fall into a deadlock? Xie Erlang watched the excitement and thought about it, and he didn't know who was the first to jump out and solve the situation, or rely on outsiders to solve the situation.He cast his eyes on Xu Qingqing, but he didn't know what this person was thinking?
