On the other side, Liu Ruxia took the girl out of the minister's study room, got into the carriage and sat down, and then the smile on her face gradually faded.
The little girl next to her knew that her mood these days was not as good as she showed, so she didn't dare to say anything more and just looked at her carefully.
Liu Ruxia looked up and saw the little girl's expression, she chuckled and said, "What are you looking at?"
The little girl quickly lowered her head and said softly: "Girl, the master and the eldest son don't seem to like that... second girl."
Liu Ruxia sighed softly and said: "Whether you like it or not, after all, my sister is the real lady of Shangshu Mansion. She is the biological daughter and biological sister of father and eldest brother. After all, I am still an outsider."
"So what? The second young lady has just come back from the countryside. She knows nothing and looks like that... She is going to be the young lady of the Duke's palace." The little girl quickly complimented.
Speaking of Zheng Jingchuan, the sixth son of Duke Cheng, the expression on Liu Ruxia's face became a little softer.
Although Zheng Jingchuan is not the legitimate eldest grandson of Duke Cheng, and will never inherit the title of Duke Cheng, he is the legitimate son of Duke Cheng, and his life will definitely be good in the future. Liu Ruxia probably wouldn't have seen it in the past.
The person who went to Zheng Jingchuan, after all, the person the Liu family originally wanted to marry was someone like the second son of the Luo family. Even if he couldn't succeed, he should be a young talent similar to Luo Jinxing.
But Princess Changzhao secretly said that the Luo family would not propose marriage to the second young master for the time being. To put it bluntly, she actually looked down upon the Liu family. And after this incident of her life experience, Liu Ruxia's identity would inevitably plummet. Even if the Liu family still
When she is her daughter, outsiders may not see her that way.
If she couldn't get married to Zheng Jingchuan first, the Liu family might really send her away or marry her off as a casual marriage tool.
Liu Ruxia knew that Liu Ruoqiu was the most wronged by what happened back then, and she was the one who benefited the most. She felt sympathy and guilt for Liu Ruoqiu in her heart, but she could not ruin her future life because of this sympathy and guilt.
Therefore, she must find the best destination for herself before Liu Ruoqiu establishes a foothold in the Liu family. She does not want to murder Liu Ruoqiu, but she will not give in.
It's just that the gate of Duke Cheng Guo's Mansion is not easy to enter. Zheng Jingchuan was originally interested in her. At that time, she looked down on Zheng Jingchuan and naturally ignored him. Now that she has softened her attitude, although Zheng Jingchuan doesn't care, Duke Cheng Jingchuan and
The situation for Mrs. Cheng Guo was not so easy.
In their opinion, her current willingness to marry Zheng Jingchuan was not sincere at all, but she was simply interested in the family background of Duke Chengguo.
Duke Chengguo's family is one of the most famous in Shangyong, so why would his most favored grandson marry a fake daughter?
The carriage stopped at the door of the tea house on the street. Liu Ruxia got off the carriage and went upstairs. Zheng Jingchuan was already waiting in the wing upstairs.
Seeing Liu Ruxia come in, Zheng Jingchuan immediately stood up and greeted her, "Miss Ruxia."
Liu Ruxia lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Young Master Zheng has been kept waiting for a long time."
Zheng Jingchuan waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I have just arrived, Ru Xia, I...I have already told my parents that in two days we will come to the Duke Cheng's Mansion to propose marriage. You, are you really willing to marry me?
?”
Liu Ruxia's cheeks were slightly red, and she hummed softly before saying: "My status is embarrassing now, Mr. Zheng still doesn't dislike me, I really..."
Zheng Jingchuan smiled and said: "Don't say that, no matter what your status is, you are still you. I am just a playboy who doesn't live up to expectations. I am very happy that you are willing to marry me."
Although Zheng Jingchuan is a bit arrogant, he still knows his own merits. He has never compared himself with people like Luo Jinyan brothers and Wei Changting, and he doesn't even have the slightest jealousy towards the disciples of Duke Chengguo who are better than him. He just
He feels very at ease being a dandy.
Naturally, such a person would never dream of marrying a noble girl like Su Rui or Ruan Yueli. In the past, Liu Ruxia was cold to him and he did not bear any grudge. Now Liu Ruxia is close to him and is willing to marry him.
He won't think too much about it.
Liu Ruxia was a little uneasy and asked: "Where is Madam Shizi..."
The thing that Cheng Guogong's Mansion despises most about Liu Ruxia is not Cheng Guogong and his wife, but Zheng Jingchuan's mother-in-law, Mrs. Cheng Guogong's Crown Prince. Every mother treats her child as a treasure, even if the child does not live up to expectations, naturally
Nor can he tolerate others taking advantage of him or being hypocritical about his son.
Zheng Jingchuan smiled cheerfully and said: "Don't worry, my grandmother has agreed, and my mother will naturally not say anything more."
Liu Ruxia nodded and said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Zheng."
Zheng Jingchuan touched his forehead and smiled carelessly: "Thank you for what? From now on we will be a family, and I will be good to you."
Liu Ruxia nodded silently, and the atmosphere in the wing gradually became a bit ambiguous.
In the next few days, Anlan Academy continued to receive registered freshmen every day to prepare for the early opening of the academy. Luo Junyao only went there for the first three days, and left the next few days to Zhang Jingyu and others.
The number of new students in the academy is not as bad as they originally thought. If all are counted together, the total number is similar to previous years or even more.
After all, according to the original admission standards, the number of students who are qualified to enter Anlan Academy is less than 30% of the ladies of Shangyong. If all the girls of the same age in Shangyong are included, it is less than one ten thousandth.
The Luo family began to prepare for Luo Jinyan and Su Rui's marriage, and Luo Junyao naturally had to go back to help from time to time. The Su family took care of the Luo family in an orderly manner, and Luo Junyao sent people from the Regent's Palace to help, so everything was prepared in an orderly manner.
That day, Luo Junyao was dragged by Qin Ning and Xu Xinyu to the most famous jewelry pavilion in Shangyong to choose jewelry.
When the shopkeeper saw these three distinguished guests, he was naturally overjoyed and quickly took out the best collection in the store and asked the three of them to choose.
Luo Junyao played with a hairpin in his hand boredly and said, "It's not interesting. What kind of jewelry do you want? You can't have it delivered to the house. You have to choose it yourself?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qin Ning smiled and said: "How is this the same? The feeling of sending it to the house to pick it is completely different from picking it out by shopping. Xinyu will come in soon
It's a new college, shouldn't we give her some admission gifts? There will also be a wedding between Master Luo and A Rui in a while, and we will also have to choose new clothes to pack."
Luo Junyao looked at the well-behaved Xu Xinyu, nodded and said: "A Ning is right, we should give Xinyu a school entrance gift."
Xu Xinyu said quickly: "Little aunt, don't listen to Sister Aning's nonsense. We are here to choose the accessories for the wedding. Sister Aning said that we can be the bridesmaids for Sister Su Rui. We must dress up beautifully."
Bright."
Luo Junyao was a little surprised, "A Rui invited you to marry him?"
Qin Ning snorted softly and said: "It's not easy for girls from the Su family to get married. Mrs. Su's natal family is not in Shangyong, and the other people's status is not high enough. Naturally, we have to get married?"
Luo Junyao thought for a while, but still didn't ask Su Rui's besties and friends.
Everyone has difficulties, and women in this era are completely unable to make their own decisions.
She believed in Su Rui's vision for making friends. Those best friends may not have really distanced themselves from her because of those gossips, but those girls could not ignore the opinions of their families.
Just listen to Qin Ning continue: "Besides, this princess personally proposes the marriage, do the Su family dare to refuse?"
Luo Junyao chuckled and said: "What you are talking about is, what kind of scenery is it for Princess Anyang to personally deliver the wedding?"
Qin Ning pulled Xu Xinyu and said, "There is also Xinyu."
Xu Xinyu nodded and said, "Well, there is also me."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Whatever you like today, I will pay for it."
Before Xu Xinyu could refuse, Qin Ning immediately said: "The regent princess is still very grand!"
"..." Xu Xinyu looked at her cousin speechlessly.
Cousin, are you really not deliberately trying to trick your aunt?
"You're right, there seems to be nothing good." After choosing for a while, Qin Ning said a little boringly.
As the beloved daughter of Princess Changling, Qin Ning naturally has high standards. She made a special trip and saw that although these things were high-quality products, they were nothing more than that. It was inevitable that she would be a little disappointed.
The shopkeeper, who was coming in with a box in his hands, was also very apologetic when he heard this, "I'm really sorry for letting the princess down. It's just that in the past few months, all the good things have been bought, and these things are all for me."
It is carefully crafted, but it is inevitable that there will be some... please forgive me, the princess and the two princesses."
Qin Ning glanced at him sideways and said, "You mean, your business is so good that my princess is late?"
The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and said, "Well... I would also like to thank the Prince Regent's Palace and the General's Palace for taking care of me."
The three people sitting there immediately understood that in the past few months, first with the wedding of Luo Junyao and Xie Yan, and then with the wedding of Luo Jinyan and Su Rui, all the really good stuff from the merchants in Shangyonghuang City had almost been taken away.
These things are just small things, they are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and they really cannot be made up for so quickly.
The shopkeeper continued: "Isn't it the beginning of spring? In a few days, the store will bring in a batch of things from other places. If the three of you don't mind it, I will personally deliver some to the three of you. What do you think?"
Luo Junyao didn't embarrass him and said with a smile: "That's okay. You can send it to the two eldest princesses' houses when the time comes. When they have finished choosing, they can come to the regent's house to settle the bill."
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, having made another big deal ahead of schedule, and the smile on his face was almost overflowing.
As a person in the jewelry business, he really likes these generous princesses and ladies.
"Don't worry, Princess. The things in our house are all of the most exquisite kind, and they will be kept to the satisfaction of the two princesses."
Luo Junyao had bought a lot of their stuff before and knew that what the shopkeeper said was true. He nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll wait."
The shopkeeper escorted the three of them downstairs with a smile all the way. When they reached the stairs, they saw a few people standing in the lobby downstairs.
The people in the lobby obviously saw them. They were startled for a moment and then hurriedly came forward to greet them, "Your Majesty Liu Ruxia has met the Princess Regent, Princess Anyang, and Princess Huaiyang."
Liu Ruxia took the lead, and the others came to their senses and stepped forward to pay their respects.
Luo Junyao smiled at Liu Ruoqiu, whose face was obviously a little surprised, and then said: "No need to be polite, everyone get up."
"Thank you, Princess."
Luo Junyao glanced at everyone and said curiously: "Miss Liu and Zheng..."
Seeing this, Zheng Jingchuan smiled very knowingly and said: "Princess, I'm having sex at home, Zheng Jingchuan."
"Why are Miss Liu and Mr. Sixth Zheng here? And Miss Zheng? Is this the newly returned Miss Liu Er?" Following Zheng Jingchuan and Liu Ruxia, in addition to Liu Ruoqiu, there was also the Duke Chengguo who looked obviously unhappy.
Miss Zheng Jingxi.
Zheng Jingchuan smiled and said: "Back to Princess, I will accompany the two girls from the Liu family and the eldest sister for a walk."
Qin Ning leaned next to Luo Junyao, with a sly smile in her eyes, "I heard that the Duke of Chengguo and the Liu family are getting married. It seems that this is a good thing that is about to happen?"
Zheng Jingchuan and Liu Ruxia were obviously a little embarrassed. Zheng Jingchuan said in a low voice: "Yesterday, Duke Chengguo's residence came to propose marriage."
No one was surprised. If the marriage had not been officially decided, a large group of people would not have appeared in the Jewelry Pavilion like this.
It's just that the Zheng and Liu families did this matter quite quietly. Anyway, neither Luo Junyao nor Qin Ning had heard of it.
"Congratulations to both of you," Luo Jun said with a smile.
Zheng Jingchuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Princess. When the time comes, I would like to invite the Princess and the Prince to come over and have a glass of thin wine."
Luo Junyao said: "The Chengguo Palace is holding a happy event, how can the prince and I not come?"
After hearing this, the smile on Zheng Jingchuan's face became even brighter, and Liu Ruxia also blushed slightly.
On the contrary, Zheng Jingxi's face became increasingly ugly, but Liu Ruoqiu's expression was indifferent, as if she was completely aloof from the incident.
"This is the second girl of the Liu family?" Luo Junyao walked up to Liu Ruoqiu and asked softly.
Liu Ruoqiu quickly knelt down and saluted again, "I have met the Princess Regent."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Luo Junyao seemed to see Liu Ruoqiu for the first time, holding her hand and smiling: "I didn't know the girl came back before, but I couldn't add a copy.
Congratulations, finally it’s not too late today.”
After saying that, Luo Junyao raised his hand and took off a pearl hairpin from his head and inserted it gently into Liu Ruoqiu's hair.
Liu Ruoqiu was startled and quickly wanted to refuse.
Luo Junyao raised his hand to hold her hand, and said with a smile: "It's a happy event for a girl to come back, and happy events should come with gifts. Do you think I'm too casual?"
Liu Ruoqiu had no choice but to say in a low voice, "Thank you, Princess."
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I heard from Mr. Zhang that the second girl intends to study at Anlan Academy?"
Hearing this, Liu Ruoqiu's expression darkened. She had begged her father and brother, as well as her mother and grandmother in the past few days, but she got nothing except a few scoldings.
Her father said that if she wanted to learn medicine, she was not doing her job properly and did not understand the nurturing principles of boudoir. She should study more boudoir classics.
Her mother said that she had already reached the marriageable age, and she had to quickly learn etiquette and improve her appearance to be attractive to others, so that she could find a good family.
While her mother was talking about finding a better family than Cheng Guo Gongfu, she admitted with great frustration that she could not find a better family than Cheng Guo Gongfu. She could only instruct the girl to apply it on her face every day.
She was asked to teach her all kinds of etiquette and training, trying to find a better one while she was still young.
Liu Ruxia said: "Princess Qi, my father said that the second sister just came back and is still weak. He has already hired a husband to teach the second sister at home."
Luo Junyao turned around and looked at Liu Ruxia with a smile, and said: "Miss Liu Er grew up in the countryside, but she is self-taught. Mr. Zhang also thinks highly of her. Could it be that Master Liu is worried that Anlan Academy can't teach Miss Liu Er well?"
?Or is it that Liu Shangshu is afraid that this princess will lead the second girl to evil?"
When Liu Ruxia heard the word "countryside", her expression froze slightly, but she soon softened and said, "How dare my father? It's just that the second sister has just come back. Maybe my father and mother are reluctant to let the second sister study in the academy every day, right?"
Second sister, do you think so?"
Liu Ruoqiu raised her head and glanced at Liu Ruxia, then whispered: "I heard that you can go home every day while studying in the academy. I want to go to the academy to study."
"..." The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Zheng Jingxi, who was standing nearby, frowned and said: "Since the second girl likes to go to the academy, then just go to the academy. Everyone is studying in the academy. It would be lonely for the second girl to invite her husband at home. Sixth Brother,
dont you agree?"
Zheng Jingchuan also nodded and said: "Jingxi is right. It's good for the second girl to want to go to the academy. Jingxi can take care of her while she's still in the academy. If... Mr. Liu is worried, why don't I go and talk to him?"
Zheng Jingchuan did not see that Liu Ruoqiu looked a little bad. He spoke to Liu Ruoqiu firstly because his sister expressed her stance first, and secondly Liu Ruxia always said she was sorry for Liu Ruoqiu. In this case, they helped Liu Ruoqiu more. As time went by,
Wouldn’t this debt be repaid?
Luo Junyao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Mr. Six, can you go to Mr. Liu to speak to Miss Liu Er?"
Zheng Jingchuan nodded without thinking: "Of course, Miss Liu Er is Ruxia's sister, and she will be my sister from now on. We are all a family. What's wrong with that?"
Luo Junyao nodded, expressing great appreciation in his words, "Sixth Young Master is still happy, so I'll trouble Sixth Young Master. Mr. Zhang said that Miss Liu Er is very talented. It's my first time to be the head of the mountain. If there is one less talented student, I will still
It’s a little sad.”
Zheng Jingchuan responded loudly: "Don't worry, Princess, just leave it to me."
"Okay." Luo Jun said with a smile.
Qin Ning and Xu Xinyu looked at Luo Junyao with admiration. Liu Ruoqiu was also obviously surprised, but even more so, she was happy and grateful.
Liu Ruxia bit her lip, half-lidded her eyes and said nothing.
Zheng Jingxi, who was standing nearby, looked at his sixth brother's confident look, glanced at Liu Ruxia, raised his head and rolled his eyes silently.
