Lei Xiaoxue did not blush and was shy. She thought seriously for a moment and replied: "I want to see him again and ask him a few questions in person. Only when he answers to my satisfaction will I accept the marriage."
Mrs. Lei gave her daughter an angry look: "It's not good for this to spread. The girl's family should be more reserved. There is no reason to meet the person who is discussing the marriage in person."
"Reservation is not as important as life-long matters." Lei Xiaoxue said plausibly: "I have to find out clearly before making a decision. Otherwise, when I really marry Shen Jia, my temperament is not harmonious, and I have to divorce within a few days of getting married. Wouldn't it be wrong? trouble?"
Mrs. Lei: "..."
Fortunately, this is her daughter. If her daughter-in-law spoke like this in front of her, she would be furious!
Mrs. Lei had a headache. After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and said, "That's alright. Wait until the next time Mrs. He comes to visit, Mrs. He and I will ask Third Young Master Shen to come to Lei's house."
"However, Shen Jia is now working as an errand in Prince Yan's Mansion. He has serious errands and only takes one day off per month. You have to wait patiently."
No need to go to such trouble.
Shen Jia can't leave Prince Yan's Mansion at will, so she can go to Prince Yan's Mansion to find him!
Lei Xiaoxue glanced at Mrs. Lei's not-so-pleasant expression, and nodded in agreement without saying this.
Within two days, Lei Xiaoxue sneaked out of the house while Mrs. Lei was away visiting.
In order not to attract attention, she only brought two personal maids with her. On the pretext of going to Hongzhuang Pavilion to buy rouge, she left Lei Mansion through the side door. She got on the carriage, turned a corner, and went straight to Prince Yan's Mansion.
The coachman was very nervous all the way, and the two personal maids were even more worried.
"Miss, are you really going to Prince Yan's Mansion?"
"When I heard about the palace, my slave's legs became weak. Miss, it's better not to go!"
"Yes! If the madam finds out, the slaves will be severely punished..."
Lei Xiaoxue glanced over and the two maids stopped talking.
An hour later, the carriage stopped outside the side gate of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Lei Xiaoxue went to the concierge in person.
Prince Yan's Mansion did not open the main entrance. Most of those who came to pay their respects were at the side entrance.
The concierge was used to seeing stewards who came to give gifts and posts. Suddenly, he was surprised to see such a heroic and beautiful girl: "May I ask what your name is? What's the purpose of coming to our palace?"
Lei Xiaoxue opened her mouth and said: "The person I want to see is called Shen Jia. He works as a guard in the palace. He works in the palace every day. Please let the steward pass the news for me."
There are many personal guards in Prince Yan's palace, so for others, the concierge may not have an impression. When mentioning Shen Jia's name, the steward does remember it.
Shen You was a popular person around King Yan. Shen Jia was Shen You's cousin, who also followed him, and was quite famous in the palace. Moreover, Shen Jia had a lively personality, loved to talk and laugh, and was unexpectedly popular.
The porter immediately smiled and said, "Girl, wait a moment, I will send someone to deliver a message asking Guard Shen to come out."
…
"What? A girl comes to see me?"
Shen Jia was a little surprised.
The guards who were on duty with him winked and laughed: "Since there is a girl here to look for you, why don't you go quickly!"
"His Royal Highness is not in the palace, and he is not busy on errands during the day. It doesn't matter if you have one more person, and it doesn't matter if you have one less one. Go quickly! Don't let the girl wait for a long time."
Amid the teasing laughter of the guards, Shen Jia went to the concierge with a red face.
He has never messed with any girl's family, and now the only one he has interacted with and is discussing marriage is the girl from the Lei family.
Could it be she who came to see him?
Shen Jia quickly entered the concierge with full of expectations. At a glance, he saw the girl he had been thinking about for the past few days.
Lei Xiaoxue is still wearing a purple dress today. She is tall and tall, only half a head shorter than Shen Jia. She has a heroic look on her face and eyes.
"Miss Lei!" Shen Jia's heart almost jumped out of her chest as she stepped forward excitedly: "Why are you here!"
Lei Xiaoxue raised her delicate brows: "I have something to ask you."
Shen Jiaqiang resisted the urge to grin and nodded solemnly: "Okay."
It was very inconvenient to talk in the concierge. Lei Xiaoxue signaled with her eyes and turned around to go to the carriage. Shen Jia's heart was beating wildly, and she followed him hand in hand.
Seeing Shen Jia's silly look, the two maids quietly covered their mouths and smiled. Then they wisely stepped back a few meters, each looking to one side to show off their master.
The carriage was spacious, but once we sat down and looked at each other, it felt inexplicably cramped.
Shen Jia had never been so nervous, anxious and secretly happy at the same time in his life.
He looked at Lei Xiaoxue and plucked up the courage to speak: "Miss Lei, are you here to see me today because of our marriage?"
Lei Xiaoxue nodded crisply: "Yes."
"The Shen Mansion invited an official matchmaker to propose marriage. My mother asked me if I was willing. I thought, I should meet you and ask you clearly what I need to ask and explain what I need to say clearly."
When it comes to marriage, Lei Xiaoxue is upright and open-minded, without any shyness of a girl.
Shen Jia looked at Lei Xiaoxue's bright and calm black eyes, and his violently beating heart suddenly calmed down. He thought that he had guessed Lei Xiaoxue's purpose of coming.
Sure enough, Lei Xiaoxue opened her mouth and said: "You have also seen it. I am different from other girls. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my talent is better than that of my brothers in the family."
"I don't like reading and practicing calligraphy, I don't like playing the piano and composing poems. I don't know any of the cooking skills of a female celebrity."
"My mother was worried that I wouldn't be able to get married, so she wanted to find a generous family for me. After searching around, she fell in love with you. That day we went to Puji Temple, it was specially arranged by the elders so that we could have a look at each other.
"
"So, you fell in love with me?"
Shen Jia did not hesitate: "Yes. I begged my mother to ask the official media to go to Lei's house to propose marriage. Mrs. Lei thinks she likes me. Will you marry me?"
Lei Xiaoxue did not answer but asked: "Did you hear clearly what I just said?"
"It's clear." Shen Jia quickly answered the question: "Listen to me, I haven't been very smart since I was a child, and I like to be lazy. Even when I practice martial arts, it's my fourth brother who pushes me.
Practice hard every day.”
"Last year in the Imperial Clothes Competition, I was not outstanding. It was because of my fourth brother that I entered Prince Yan's palace as an errand. Now my fourth brother is a popular person around His Highness. I am still an errand in the palace. I can be promoted to a thousand households in the future. Even if
Not bad.”
"As for what you said, I don't care at all. I don't like reading, reciting poems, and painting. As for Nv Hong's cooking skills, we have embroiderers and cooks in Shen's house, so there is no need for you.
Do these.”
When Shen Jia was excited, she became a little forgetful and directly stretched out her hand to hold Lei Xiaoxue's hand: "If you don't dislike me for being worthless, just accept the marriage!"
"I, Shen Jia, don't have much ability, I only have this sincerity. If you marry me in the future, I will treat you well and make sure you live a comfortable life."
