Xu Ruoshui remembered her dowry one by one. It was all the wishes of Xu's father and Xu's mother. Now that she is gone, she has a deep memory of these things. Quan thought about them. How could this hairpin be in his mind?
Was it given to me by Wang Mengjiao?
Meng Tianbo held her trembling shoulders and calmed her down.
"Let me see," the princess took the gold hairpin, looked at it carefully for a while, and said with a blush, "it's mine. Maybe Luo Yi was careless and didn't put it away, but the second young master found it."
"
When Meng Tianqi heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said with a smile, "It is a blessing for me to pick up something belonging to the princess." How could Meng Tianqi not know whether this thing belonged to the princess, but he just used it to test it.
That's all. Unexpectedly, the princess didn't refuse. This made me sure that the princess already wanted to belong to him.
The princess held the gold hairpin and did not dare to open her eyes to look at Meng Tianqi. She was used to this way of chatting with men, but this man was different. She could actually show off her match, which must be different from other men.
"That golden hairpin does not belong to the princess," Xu Ruoshui turned her head slightly and said to Meng Tianbo. Because the two of them were close to each other, she could feel Meng Tianbo's breath.
"How do you know it's not the princess's?" he asked.
This is mine, Xu Ruoshui almost blurted out, but fortunately, he realized in time that he was in late autumn, not Xu Ruoshui, so he found a reason and said, "This is just a reason for Tianqi to strike up a conversation, why is it like this?"
What a coincidence, neither you nor I picked it up, but he picked it up."
This seemed to make sense. Meng Tianbo rubbed his chin and believed what this woman said.
Meng Tianqi learned about the princess's intentions, and resigned with great joy. After all, he was a single man and a woman, and when people saw it, the truth would be confirmed. After the princess returned to the small building to rest, Xu Ruoshui and the two came out.
, but they didn't go far, they just found a place to stay, otherwise the princess would be inhospitable if she couldn't find anyone in need.
As soon as the afternoon passed, the princess took Luo Yi out of the Yage House. I don't know whether it was because she was resting or because of Meng Tianqi, but she looked much more energetic, and she kept smiling at the corner of her mouth.
Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Hou were chatting happily, and they felt as if they had met each other too late. When they saw the princess coming back, they held hands and talked for a while. Mrs. Meng kept praising her, and only said that Mrs. Hou had raised a child.
The caring daughter regretted that she could not have a daughter. After hearing this, the princess hurriedly said, "Madam, just call me Yun'er. Those who call me Princess Princess are a little bit different."
Mrs. Meng was even more happy when she heard this. This not only brought the two of them closer at once, she and Mrs. Hou exchanged glances with each other, as if there were some words in them; Mrs. Shizi even pulled the princess to look left.
Looking to the right, he said, "No wonder I saw my sister Yintang blushing today. It turns out there is a happy event."
"Talk a lot," Mrs. Hou glanced at her daughter-in-law, but she still couldn't smile from ear to ear.
Xu Ruoshui gently pulled Fang Liying. She had been waiting by her all afternoon, and she must have known something about what the two ladies said. But when I asked her, she shook her head and said, "Auntie asked me and the maids to clean up the banquet."
, I had to obey orders.”
That means I don’t know what the two of them mean.
The sun hadn't set yet, but Mrs. Hou couldn't sit still anymore. She went to tell Mr. Hou that she wanted to go back to the house. Mr. Hou asked someone to reply and said that she could go back immediately. I think that Mr. Hou was very fond of Mrs.
A good person.
At the last moment, the Marquis took everyone away, and Jingxuan became quiet.
Master Meng came to see Mrs. Meng. He looked unhappy and told Mrs. Meng, "Tianqi will find me in the study later." For some unknown reason, his beard was trembling with anger.
Mrs. Meng didn't think much and agreed repeatedly. After Master Meng left, she condemned Fang Liying to go looking for Meng Tianqi, while Xu Ruoshui was naturally left to talk. Meng Tianbo followed Master Meng away.
"Mom, you are in a good mood. Do you think there is some happy event?" The sweet-scented osmanthus brew in Anxi Pavilion has been replaced with ordinary tea, and Xu Ruoshui poured her tea.
"You still have good eyesight. What do you think? Mrs. Hou wants to marry our family. What a happy event this is. I, Qi'er, am lucky enough to be favored by even the princess," Mrs. Meng said happily.
.
"Mom, did you tell Mrs. Hou about what happened to the Xu family's younger siblings?" Xu Ruoshui asked in disbelief. Mrs. Hou was so relaxed that she actually agreed to let her daughter fill in someone else's house?
Speaking of Xu Ruoshui, Mrs. Meng curled her lips and said, "When I mentioned her, I panicked. Fortunately, Mr. Hou's family is a big-hearted person. I told her the truth. The daughter of the Xu family had died early because of the disease."
It's a serious disease, so I didn't tell anyone about it, but I said I ran away from home."
Xu Ruoshui's palms were dug into a bloody pit by his nails, and he lost consciousness in pain.
"It's late autumn, and Tianqi's good luck is coming. We have a marquis as our father-in-law. From now on, others will look at our family with their heads held high. It's really a blessing that cannot be cultivated in a few lifetimes."
Since Mrs. Hou doesn't care about her daughter being a house-filler, doesn't Mr. Hou mind if his daughter marries into a merchant's family? "Mom, the princess is from an official family. Although our family has great wealth, its reputation is not good after all.
Will the Marquis definitely agree?" Xu Rushui asked doubtfully.
"You don't know this," Mrs. Meng said too much, and her mouth was a little dry. After drinking a glass of water, she added, "Speaking of his identity as a Marquis, he is a head above us, but the Marquis is a head above us.
After all, I have retired from old age and returned to my hometown. I have no real power in my hands. Marriage with us will not humiliate them, but will make their future lives better."
Come to think of it, Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Hou both have their own Xiao Jiujiu. One needs the identity of Mr. Hou as a backer, and the other needs the financial resources of the Meng family to live. It is really unpredictable. If Mrs. Meng did not completely trust Xu Ruoshui, such words would
There was a reason why she didn't talk to others easily, so she talked to Xu Ruoshui. "Late Qiu, you just spent some time with the princess to tell her what you think of her."
Fortunately, Meng Tianbo took the opportunity to express his thoughts to him. The two of them coincided with each other on this point, so they followed up. Xu Ruoshui said sincerely, "It would be great if the marriage can come true. My daughter-in-law has a princess."
sister-in-law
, I don’t know how bright the face is, and I can’t tell you about this character for a while, but the princess generally knows the etiquette, which is obvious. How can the tutor in the Marquis’ Mansion be worse?
Say so?"
"Yes, you should know a little bit about my thoughts," Mrs. Meng nodded and said, "As long as Tianqi's marriage is certain, I will have nothing to worry about."
"Then what Mrs. Hou means is...you are leaving in such a hurry today, is there something wrong?"
