Chapter 27 I don’t want to call Guan Zhiyi fifth aunt Guan Zhiyi looked at Mrs. Guan in front of her in shock: "Mother, what did you say? Mrs. Qin Guoji came to propose marriage?"
"Yes, uncle Qin's carriage has not gone far yet. This is not a verbal engagement, but an actual marriage proposal. I even gave you the engagement token. Your father and I have already If you agree, you can just settle down and get married."
Guan Zhiyi frowned and said, "Mom, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Then how could the Qin family come to marry me for no reason?"
"Mrs. Lu can even get her eldest grandson to marry you..." Mrs. Guan said, "Why is it impossible for the fifth master of the Qin family?"
Guan Zhiyi said: "Old Mrs. Lu got her through a scheme by her daughter. The Qin family has never met their daughter, so how could she suddenly come to arrange a marriage? I don't know what kind of person Qin Fifth Master is."
Mrs. Guan said with a smile on her face: "I met Qin Wuye's mother once. She was very handsome. She was a bit older. She was ten years older than you, exactly 26. Also, I lost my wife before, so I gave her to her. It took a year to get engaged.
The fifth master of Qin is just two concubines, and there is no legitimate son yet. Once you marry, you will be the wife of the fifth room of the Qin family. You can just enjoy happiness in the future. This marriage is better than that of your eldest sister.
The Fifth Master Qin and His Highness the Crown Prince are not much different in age. They have been close friends since childhood. When His Highness the Crown Prince inherits the throne in the future, your good days are still to come! "
But the more Guan Zhiyi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Is there really anything fishy about a pie falling from the sky? ……
Prince Qi's Mansion, in the study.
Lingling was very excited when she woke up early in the morning because she was going to go hiking. Unfortunately, the weather was not kind and the autumn rain kept falling for an hour.
Lingling was extremely disappointed and said in Lu Ze's arms: "Dad, why can't we climb the mountain when it rains?"
“It’s slippery when it rains and it’s easy to fall down the mountain. Wait until the weather clears before climbing again.”
Lingling said: "Then daddy, teach me how to paint, I want to paint my mother's portrait!"
Qi Yuning, who was looking at the account book, looked up at Lu Ze and said, "Why did you draw me when I had missing teeth?"
Lu Ze said: "As soon as I remembered it, I drew it."
Lingling got down from Lu Ze's arms and ran to the side to get rice paper and Hu pen, "Daddy draws."
Lu Ze took Lingling's little hand and wrote a stroke on the rice paper.
Li Chun hurriedly approached Qi Yuning and whispered, "Princess, the Qin family has gone to the Guan family to propose marriage."
Qi Yuning raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chun, who said, "It's Mr. Qin Wu and Miss Guan Liu."
Qi Yuning put down the account book in his hand and said, "This Guan Zhiyi can actually be engaged to the fifth master of the uncle's house?"
Lu Ze raised his eyes and looked at Qi Yuning, "What does Princess Qi mean?"
"Prince Lu will soon call Miss Guan Liu fifth aunt."
Qi Yuning said, "The Qin family and the Guan family just got engaged."
Lu Ze was stunned.
Qi Yuning said: "The fifth master of Qin is the prince's cousin. He is in charge of the imperial guards of Shengjing City. There are fifty thousand soldiers under him. He is a general at the emperor's feet. He has a good future and a clean house. He only has a concubine who has died. Girl, it’s really a good marriage.”
Lu Ze said with a sarcastic smile: "It is indeed a good marriage."
Qi Yuning inadvertently played with the small golden abacus beads on the side with her fingers, and said puzzledly: "Mrs. Lu has been suppressed by a noble princess daughter-in-law her whole life. When she is old, she does not want to have a noble granddaughter-in-law suppress her again. , that’s why I got you engaged to Guan Zhiyi.
What do you mean by Mrs. Qin Guo's intention to settle down?Could it be that Guan Zhiyi is a virtuous housekeeper?Not possible either. "
Lu Ze said: "Princess, my grandmother only engaged Guan Zhiyi to repay her life-saving grace."
Qi Yuning ignored Lu Ze's self-deception and said: "If there is a family that really appreciates the virtuousness of the daughter of the Guan family, Guan Zhiyi should marry a young man like her fourth brother-in-law, or someone like her fourth brother-in-law. A concubine like her fifth brother-in-law.
The Fifth Master of Qin has no shortage of noble, virtuous and young daughters from aristocratic families to fill houses, so why would he choose Guan Zhiyi? "
Although Lingling said that the throne in the future will not belong to His Royal Highness, it is hard for anyone to say now.
The prince trusted the Qin family extraordinarily. The military power of the Qin family was approaching Prince Qi's palace. The Qin family was gaining momentum in both the government and the public. It was a time when flowers were blooming and fire was cooking oil.
The Fifth Master of Qin is not an incompetent person from a wealthy family. On the contrary, he holds the military power in the capital and is the closest cousin to His Royal Highness.
No matter how you look at it, this marriage is weird.
Lu Zedao: "Why is the county manager so busy with other people's marriages?"
Qi Yuning said: "Why is it from someone else's family? I don't want to call Guan Zhiyi fifth aunt in the future!"
Lu Ze smiled lightly when he heard this.
Qi Yuning frowned slightly when she saw Lu Ze smiling, secretly hating herself for being so quick to talk. Didn't the meaning of her words just now mean that she was acquiescing to marry Lu Ze?Qi Yuning stopped paying attention to Lu Ze and stopped thinking about Guan Zhiyi becoming Qin Wu's wife. He continued to look down at the account book.
Lu Ze also continued to teach Lingling how to draw.
It hadn't been quiet for long before Lu Baozhu's voice came from outside.
"Don't stop me!"
"Princess, you can't go in. Please wait while we go to report."
"I have something to do with you Princess Qi, why do you want to stop me?"
Qi Yuning, who was in the room, couldn't help but hold her forehead, looked at Lu Ze and said, "The upbringing of your princess mansion is really good. Lu Baozhu came to the palace ten times, seven or eight times he broke in directly."
When Lu Baozhu broke into Qi Yuning's room, he saw a livid-faced Lu Ze, "Brother, are you here too?"
Lu Ze frowned and said, "Baozhu, how can you break into someone else's palace without permission?"
"Why are you breaking into someone else's house? Isn't this my sister-in-law's house sooner or later?"
Lu Baozhu sat opposite Qi Yuning very familiarly and patted the water drops on his body.
Qi Yuning said: "If you continue to talk nonsense about sister-in-law and not sister-in-law, I will ask the guards to ask you out."
Lu Baozhu said: "No, I won't talk nonsense. Have you heard about the engagement between my fifth cousin and Guan Zhiyi?"
"That's my brave and handsome fifth cousin. Didn't you get advantage of Guan Zhiyi in vain? She is two years younger than me, so don't I have to call her fifth aunt in the future? I don't know what my great-aunt thinks? "
Lu Ze said: "As a junior, you don't have to interfere in the affairs of the elders."
Lu Baozhu snorted angrily, "If you want to call fifth aunt, go and call her, but I can't."
"Princess, Miss Song has handed over the post and came to pay her respects."
Qi Yuning looked at the raindrops outside and said, "It's raining like this? Let her in quickly. Lingling, you can follow your father to the next door."
Qi Yuning was afraid that Lingling would cry out again when she saw Song Heqing.
Lu Ze got up and hugged Lingling and went aside.
When Song Heqing arrived at Qi Yuning's study, he saw Lu Baozhu stunned, and saluted, "See Princess Lu."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "There's no need to salute her. Sit down quickly. It's a rainy day. What do you want to do here?"
Song Heqing was about to speak but stopped.
Qi Yuning pointed to Lu Baozhu and said, "You also go next door."
Lu Baozhu looked at Song Heqing and said, "I know you. You are the granddaughter of Taifu Song's family. You can't take your eyes away every time you see my uncle, the prince. Do you like my uncle?"
Song Heqing's face turned red, "Lu, Princess Lu..."
Qi Yuning frowned and said to Lu Baozhu, "Let's go quickly."
Lu Baozhu snorted softly, "I'll go play with Lingling."
After Lu Baozhu left, Song Heqing said to Qi Yuning, "Yu Ning, I really have no choice, so I came to beg you. My mother wants me to betrothed to the eldest son of the Guan family."
Qi Yuning said coldly: "Who is the Guan family? How can I marry you?"
The Guan family's daughters all married high, so how could the Guan family dare to imagine that Song Heqing would marry low and become their daughter-in-law?
Song Heqing's eyes turned red and he said: "After my grandfather left, although my father was a fourth-grade official, he is still in trouble, and I don't know what his future will be like.
I'm not my mother's biological child. Seeing that the betrothal gifts negotiated by the Guan family were really generous, my mother also took a fancy to the young master of the Guan family. Each of the six sisters married into a good family. In the future, my brother's relationship with the officialdom can also be obtained through this. It’s cheap, so I thought of marrying me to the Guan family..."
Song Heqing found it difficult to say, but still blushed and said: "I'm sorry to say this, but you and I have been sisters for many years, and I won't hide it from you. I like His Highness the Crown Prince. I got the news that His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely choose a concubine next spring. . Yu Ning, I want you to help me postpone my marriage until next spring."
Qi Yuning looked at Song Heqing deeply. Lingling said that when she went to visit Aunt Song, the bad guys pinched her neck.
So, was Song Heqing still with the prince later? However, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not ascend the throne five or six years later, he will surely end up in a very miserable situation. He may be imprisoned or exiled...
Qi Yuning pursed her lips lightly, "He Qing, I will help you arrange your marriage with the Guan family. I can help you delay it for a year and a half, but His Royal Highness is really not a good son-in-law."
