Chapter five hundred and twentieth eight matchmaker
This difference in treatment is too obvious!
Zhao Qi did not have the courage to insist on leaving. He had to say goodbye to Chief Gu: "Chief, it's getting late. I've been out all day. It's really time to go back home, so as not to worry my parents at home."
Gu Shanchang smiled and nodded slightly.
Zhao Qi said goodbye to Sheng Hong, Xie Mingxi and Yan Zhenzhen. His eyes wandered around Yan Zhenzhen's pretty face before reluctantly leaving.
Yan Zhenzhen watched Zhao Qi go away before looking back.
After Zhao Qi left, Xie Mingxi laughed softly and said: "Master is too careful. Even if Mr. Zhao is left to have dinner with Sheng Hong around, it won't damage Sister Yan's reputation as a good friend."
Chief Gu Shan said, "When the Zhao family comes to propose marriage and the Yan family accepts the marriage, it won't be too late for me to keep him for dinner."
Now, Zhao Qi, who is unknown and has no status, should not enter the Lotus Pond Academy.
Xie Mingxi heard the implication of Gu Shanchang's words and couldn't help but laugh.
It is really impossible to change the protective temper of Mr. Gu Shan.
…
Five days later, the Zhao family invited an official mediator to go to the Yan family to propose marriage.
The Yan family did not agree immediately and said they would consider it for half a month before giving a reply. This was also the kind of reserve a woman should have. Regardless of whether the marriage was planned or not, there was no reason to express her position on the spot.
Zhao Qi also knew this, but couldn't bear the urgency in his heart and begged Sheng Hong: "...Your Highness, please ask Miss Xie San for me to go to Yan's house and ask Miss Yan what she thinks."
Sheng Hong had to go to court every day to listen to government affairs. Although he had no actual errands, he had to be by Emperor Jianwen's side at all times. When important ministers of the cabinet were discussing matters, he was also by the side. He also had to spare two hours a day to practice martial arts and learn the art of war, so he had very little leisure time.
Being pestered by his friend in this way, Sheng Hong had a headache: "You specially asked someone to send a letter to the palace and asked me to come out of the palace to see you, just to ignore such a trivial matter?"
"A trivial matter?!" When Zhao Qi heard this, he was immediately excited and indignant: "In your eyes, your friend's life-long event is just a trivial matter?!"
"How can you be worthy of me if you think so!"
Sheng Hong: "..."
Sheng Hong had no choice but to raise his hands and surrender: "I made a slip of the tongue and said the wrong thing! How important your life is! I'm going to Lianchi Academy right now."
That’s pretty much it!
Zhao Qi immediately turned from anger to joy and patted Sheng Hong on the shoulder very affectionately: "I know that His Highness attaches great importance to love and justice!"
"Yes, yes, if I don't go, I will be heartless and unrighteous." Sheng Hong teased with a smile: "I have to help you marry a beautiful woman, otherwise, how can I treat you well?"
Birds of a feather flock together.
Being able to become good friends with Sheng Hong, Zhao Qi's face will naturally not be thin. Hearing this, he grinned and said: "When Miss Yan and I get engaged, I will treat you as a matchmaker to drink for a month.
"
…
In the afternoon of that day, Sheng Hong went to Lianchi Academy.
The next day, Xie Mingxi went to Yan Mansion to visit Yan Zhenzhen.
After being classmates for several years, Yan Zhenzhen's feelings for Xie Mingxi were very complicated. From disapproval at the beginning, to constant competition, to subsequent setbacks, until she was convinced.
In terms of friendship, the two of them are not the best, but they are quite deep. Especially after becoming the admirers of Xie Mingxi and Hairpin Li, Yan Zhenzhen and Xie Mingxi became closer.
Now because of Zhao Qi's incident, the two have become more and more closely related.
Yan Zhenzhen asked with a smile: "Why did you come to Yan Mansion to see me today?"
Xie Mingxi smiled meaningfully: "I was entrusted by someone today, and I came here specifically to ask Miss Yan what she thinks."
You can tell who asked for it without asking.
Yan Zhenzhen's pretty face suddenly turned red, with a rare hint of embarrassment: "The Zhao family has just proposed marriage, and my parents always have to wait for half a month before replying. This Zhao Qi is really too eager!"
He complained endlessly in his mouth, but his heart was filled with sweetness.
Xie Mingxi asked knowingly: "So, you are attracted to Zhao Qi?"
Yan Zhenzhen was not a shy person after all, and quickly nodded with a blushing face: "After the Zhao family came to propose marriage, my mother asked me what I thought. I have already nodded. After some time, let the Zhao family's official media come again
That’s it.”
In terms of family background, the Zhao and Yan families are matched.
In terms of talent and appearance, Zhao Qi is impeccable except for his slightly tender baby face.
As soon as the Zhao family came to propose marriage, they immediately compared all the people who had come before to propose marriage. Mr. Yan Ge did not care about the disagreement with Mr. Zhao Ge and nodded happily.
A smile flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes, and she joked: "I never thought that one day I would also run errands and act as a matchmaker for others."
Yan Zhenzhen also laughed. After a while, she sighed worriedly.
"What's wrong?" Xie Mingxi was keenly aware of the disappointment in Yan Zhenzhen's tone: "Do you still have any dissatisfaction with Zhao Qi?"
Yan Zhenzhen responded melancholy: "I'm just worried. When I get married in the future, others will think that I married a husband who is younger than me."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Thinking of Zhao Qi's slightly rounded baby face, Xie Mingxi smiled unkindly and comforted her without any sincerity: "You are born with good looks, and having a tender face is not a shortcoming. In the future, maybe everyone will envy you."
Yan Zhenzhen just said it casually and soon became happy again.
No matter what, this is a good marriage that makes her happy and satisfied.
…
A month later, Zhao Yan's family officially decided to get married.
At this point, a group of classmates and friends are getting married, getting engaged... Even Sheng Jinyue has made a marriage arrangement. The other party is the youngest son of General Chu, the commander of the guard Ma Jundu.
Speaking of which, this Chu Silang is also quite famous in the capital.
The Chu family is a general family, and General Chu has three sons and one daughter.
Chu Silang was quite handsome in appearance, but unfortunately he was not good at martial arts and did not like reading. He spent all his time idle, fighting cocks and lackeys, and was known as a playboy.
At the beginning of this year, Chu Silang and another famous dandy had a fight over a popular prostitute and broke each other's legs. General Chu had to come to the house in person to apologize.
After this incident spreads, who in the family who loves their daughter is still willing to marry their daughter to the Chu family?
Although the Huainan Prince's Palace has declined, it is still a serious clan palace. Sheng Jinyue is the granddaughter of the Huainan Prince. She has studied at Lianchi Academy for five years. Her appearance and talents are not top-notch, and she is also above average among the ladies of the famous family.
No one expected that the King of Huainan would set such a marriage for his granddaughter.
After Xie Mingxi heard about this, she couldn't help but sneer.
The prince of Huainan Prince is stupid and mediocre and cannot support the Huainan Prince's Palace. The Huainan Prince has put all his hopes of revitalizing the Palace on Sheng Xuan.
General Chu held military power and was trusted and respected by Emperor Jianwen. King Huainan had arranged this marriage for Sheng Jinyue, and you will know what his intention was after a little thought.
The granddaughter who was raised carefully can finally make some "contributions" to the Huainan Palace.
If you can marry into the Chu family and create a good match for the Huainan palace, and help each other in the court in the future, it will be a waste to support Sheng Jinyue.
