Chapter 919 Asking the Crown Princess to Help Propose Marriage
Wearing official uniform, smiling so hard that his teeth and eyes were missing, he just skipped away.
Xu Yi is still the same Xu Yi.
Yuan Qingling arranged some reward money for him, thanked the people in the palace, and invited him to lunch.
Chu Shoufu walked in the courtyard of the palace in the autumn with his mother's hand holding his hand. The autumn chrysanthemums were already in full bloom. The roses were quietly lying on the wall with pink and purple flowers. The peonies given by Fourth Master Leng also looked happy at this time.
After a while, he will be able to dominate the whole garden.
The two sat down in the pavilion. He looked at the lake in the distance ruffled by the autumn wind, and said with emotion: "Back then, if I could propose to you in front of everyone, would you agree?"
Thinking about the past, she always felt a mixture of sadness and joy in her heart. Auntie Xi shook her head gently, "I don't know. I really wish I could do it over again. Then I would know the answer."
"Have you ever regretted it?"
The chief assistant was still confused and asked her.
"I regret it all the time, but at that time, I had no choice. People make some unavoidable decisions based on the situation."
Aunt Xi's eyebrows were downcast. Those regretful days and nights had tortured her for a long time, but in retrospect, what could be done?
Although he was a young master from the Chu family back then, he was not conspicuous in the family. As soon as he became famous, he was suppressed by the old lady. He must marry a well-matched young lady from a noble family.
The first assistant nodded slightly. At that time, it was too difficult for everyone. It was difficult to live, let alone to be successful.
Now, he has become the chief minister of the dynasty, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. He is no longer the good-for-nothing boy who was bullied and looked down upon in the past. He has completed a counterattack in life, but his life is not happy either.
There are some truths that maybe you can only understand when you get older.
"The prince has become a man now. Slowly, I will step back and spend more time with you in the future."
He said.
Aunt Xi smiled gently, "Okay."
"Have fun with your grandson!"
He said something.
"ah?"
Aunt Xi was startled for a moment and looked at him.
There was a faint smile on the chief assistant's eyebrows, "Don't you think of the Crown Princess as your daughter?
Then the child she gives birth to will be your grandson."
"This generation..." Grandma Xi laughed.
"It's true... these children she gave birth to are dragons among men, and they are coveted by others."
Shoufu Road.
Aunt Xi was very proud, "That's it, who of the people in Prince Chu's palace are ordinary people?
Now even Xu Yi has become successful, I am very happy in my heart. These children are showing their talents one by one, and from now on, they will rule the world."
The first assistant nodded, his face looked very happy, that's how it should be, there are talented people from generation to generation.
Two days later, Xu Yi was about to propose marriage. He found Yuan Qingling and asked Yuan Qingling to propose marriage for him.
Yuan Qingling was very surprised, "Xu Yi, you should ask your mother to come forward with this matter. How can I help you propose marriage?"
Xu Yi said: "Yes, Crown Princess, although the minister is now an official, he is still a minister under the Crown Prince. You are my master. It is okay for you to propose marriage with me."
"But..." Yuan Qingling remembered what Lao Wu said about his family, and asked tentatively: "Is it inconvenient for your mother to come forward?
Have you told them about your appointment?"
Xu Yi hesitated for a moment, "I went back and didn't talk about it yet. They just talked about the marriage proposal. What they meant was that Wei Chen was a little... some thought was too beautiful. My mother thought that coming to propose marriage would be humiliating, so it wasn't a big deal.
willing."
Seeing his hesitation, Yuan Qingling felt that his mother's original words may not have meant that he was thinking too well, but she might have said something like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
"Xu Yi, I don't know if it's against the rules for me to propose marriage. Can I ask Mr. Tang first?"
Yuan Qing Lingdao.
Xu Yi thought that Yuan Qingling was unwilling to come forward, so he hurriedly said: "Prince Concubine, don't worry, the gifts bought for the marriage proposal, the matchmaker's money, and the red envelopes distributed will all be paid by Wei Chen. I will never ask the Crown Princess to contribute a penny."
of."
Yuan Qing Ling looked at him in surprise and explained: "Xu Yi, that's not what I meant. I'm not stingy with money. It's just that I know that marriage is about the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. You have parents here. If you propose marriage,
I'm afraid that the elders in the family don't come forward when the time comes. I'm afraid that the old lady thinks you don't respect me enough. After all, if you are from an ordinary family, you might just ask a matchmaker to ask. The Yuan family has rules. It's a big family, so we have to follow their rules.
Yes or no?"
Xu Yi lowered his head, "Then... you ask Mr. Tang first. I actually don't know how to handle these rules myself. As you said, if the old lady thinks I don't respect you enough, it won't be good."
Yuan Qingling nodded and said gently: "Okay, I'll talk to Master Tang right away. Don't worry, we will always have a way to help you get it done."
"Thank you, Princess!"
Xu Yi looked at her movedly, but there were also some unspeakable emotions in his eyes.
In Yuan Qingling's previous view, Xu Yi was a simple and transparent creature. He could see everything at a glance and couldn't hide things in his heart. Things that were as big as a needle's eye would make the whole house noisy.
But now he has something on his mind.
She asked Man'er to invite Tang Yang over and told him Xu Yi's request.
After hearing this, Tang Yang was silent for a moment and said, "How do you actually say it?
Judging from his status, even if Xu Yi becomes an official now, he is not from the right family. Wei Chen doesn't know much about him and his family's affairs, but he has heard a little about it. His father became a seventh-grade official.
The salary is not much, and his stepmother likes to show off, but her ability is not great and her expenses are high. Xu Yi has taken all the money at home over the years. I heard a while ago that his second brother was planning to get married, so she asked Xu Yi to move out of his room.
, saying it is not enough to live in, so, strictly speaking, Xu Yi does not have a home now. Does he still have to live in the palace after marrying a daughter-in-law?
Even if Ah Si is willing, can the Yuan family agree?
When Xu Yi proposed marriage to Ah Si, he probably didn't expect such a long-term relationship."
Yuan Qingling didn't expect the situation in the Xu family to be like this. She frowned, "Don't talk about him, I didn't expect it to be so long-term. After getting married, you still need a wedding room. You can't let the Yuan family leave this house, otherwise Xu will do it in the future."
How can you hold your head high when you are in the Yuan family?"
Tang Yang continued: "Also, she asked you to propose marriage. It's not impossible. It's just that he has parents here, so he has to ask for their permission. You rashly brought a matchmaker, which seems a bit disrespectful to the Yuan family.
There is indeed something unjustifiable about Xu Yi’s parents.”
Yuan Qingling also knew this truth, but it was really confusing, "What do you think we should do?"
"Two things, first, buy a house.
Second, if his parents really don’t come forward, you can ask for their permission and let you come forward to see if this is okay.”
Yuan Qingling nodded and sighed, "I actually told Lao Wu about Xu Yi's marriage a few days ago, and it's rare that he and Ah Si have such interest in each other. It would be best if they could get together. I'll tell you about this house."
Lao Wu discussed it, and then asked his nanny to go to the Xu family and ask Mr. Xu what he wanted. If Mr. Xu doesn't object, I will be the one to take part in the matter. I'll ask Aunt Xi to find out what gifts he wants to prepare.
Find a matchmaker to guarantee the match, and that will be fine."
"If you go, then you don't need to find a matchmaker, you can just be the matchmaker."
Tang Yang said, doing some calculations in his mind, "I'm afraid it won't be cheap to buy a house that has a decent standard and is close to the palace. The houses nearby are very expensive."
