166 The prince's visit to the door and the wedding(1/2)
Yulan didn't know how he left Songfeng Bookstore and returned to Green Jingzhai. When Yulan went there, he followed Nightingale and did not bring his maid. When she returned to Green Jingzhai,
Qian's mother and Xiaoyue Xiaoyu panicked when they noticed Yulan's appearance.
"Girl, what's wrong?" Qian's mother quickly asked the little maid to boil hot water and bring it in. She twisted a handkerchief with the water and wiped Yulan's face. The tears on Yulan's face fell again and again, but they couldn't be wiped.
Since she was invited back to Green Jingzhai by Yulan, she has never seen Yulan shed a tear, no matter how difficult it is, that's why Qian's mother is so anxious.
"Where did you feel wronged, girl? It's better to say it out, even if we can't help you, than to keep it in your heart. What if something goes wrong if you keep it in?"
Xiaoyue Xiaoyu was also advising.
Yulan said: "You all go down, I want to be alone!"
The three of them looked at each other, and no one made any move for a while. Yulan said angrily: "Are you even unwilling to obey my orders?"
Seeing that she was resolute and didn't dare to disobey, Qian's mother sighed and left the house with the two girls, but she didn't dare to go far. Now that she calmed down, Yulan recalled the old man's heartfelt words, and felt even more heartbroken.
Like a knife twisting, the old man is willing to spend so much effort
Her husband explained it to her in detail, which showed that the old man loved her very much. But only because of this, Yulan felt even more desperate. The old man was a qualified feudal patriarch. Because of this, Yulan felt that no matter what he said in front of him,
Everything is useless.
Ye Yichen was probably at a loss for what to do! Was she really going to miss this man? Only when she lost this moment did she know what position Ye Yichen held in her heart! The pain in her heart was so unbearable!
The eldest lady naturally has many eyes and ears in this house. Yu Lan was summoned by the old lady to the Songfeng Bookstore, so she could not hide it from her eyes and ears. She was anxiously waiting for news in Yining Residence, when a mother walked in and leaned close to her ears.
I said a few words.
The eldest lady was surprised: "Seriously?" An ominous premonition arose in the eldest lady's heart. If Yulan left Songfeng Bookstore crying, then this matter might not be possible.
Sure enough, within a moment, the old man sent someone to call her over. When she arrived at the door of Songfeng Bookstore, she saw that the old man had also been called over in a hurry. The couple looked at each other and sighed silently. They entered.
In the room, I saw the old man with a gloomy face.
They sat there on the ground. After the two of them saluted and said hello, the old man didn't ask them to sit down, but just said: "Boss, wife, you went back to Princess Qingjiang and said that Lan'er was born in a humble family, and we can't afford this marriage."
Come on, please choose someone else, Your Highness the Prince!"
The eldest lady became a little anxious when she heard this. She really didn't understand that other families wanted to marry into a high family, but in their family, the old man did not agree with Yuxin marrying the prince, and the old man did not agree with Yulan marrying the prince of Jin.
I still don’t agree. What on earth do the old ladies think?
The eldest lady persuaded her hard: "Father, it's a pity to reject such a good marriage like this. Please think about it again, father!" She glared at the eldest man again, what did he mean?
It means: You should say something to persuade this stubborn old man!
The eldest man pursed his lips. Under his father's prestige, he tried hard for a long time, but in the end he didn't dare to say a word!
Even though the old man was very kind to Yulan, he was a bit unpretentious when it came to the couple: "I have already decided on this matter, there is no need to think about it. You just do what I say!" He didn't agree with him at all.
What do they explain.
The eldest lady wanted to speak, but the eldest man quietly pulled her back. After all, the eldest man was more familiar with his father, and seeing that the old man had a tough attitude, and the matters decided by him had never been changed, it was useless to say more.
The couple then withdrew.
Back at Yiningju, the two of them faced each other in Choucheng, both looking helpless. The eldest lady helplessly said: "Master, please tell me, how should this matter be settled? The princess personally came forward to tell a concubine such a thing.
The marriage is clearly for our Yang family
It’s shameful, but the old lady didn’t even give me a reason, and just asked me to go back to the princess, but I don’t know what reason I should use to go back to her! I don’t think it’s better for you to go and talk to the old lady again, what do I think?
, I think this is a good marriage!"
The eldest man snorted and said: "Since father has already said this, there is no room for us to comment." The eldest man thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason to go back to the princess, so he impatiently said
He stood up and said, "There are still some official matters that need to be handled in the yamen. I'll leave this matter to Madam. Besides, this kind of thing is also Madam's responsibility in the first place!" He turned around and left.
"You!" The eldest lady stood up in anger. She didn't know there was such a father in the world. When the eldest lady was about to say something, Mother Wu hurriedly grabbed her clothes from behind. The eldest lady held back her breath.
He couldn't feel anything in his chest, so he sat down again angrily: "What sin did I commit in my previous life..."
Complaints are complaints. This matter is indeed the responsibility of the eldest wife. The authority of the old man cannot be doubted, so the eldest wife had to submit the notice the next day and go to the princess's mansion to meet Princess Qingjiang in person.
The princess entertained her very warmly and chatted a few words. The eldest lady said bravely: "Originally, it was her honor that the prince fell in love with my daughter. However, Sister Lan was unlucky. She has been weak since she was a child.
I was fine until now, but I fell ill yesterday. It's not that I don't want to be related to this family, but I'm really afraid that if I marry, I will not only be unable to serve the prince, but will cause trouble to the prince..."
The more the eldest lady talked, the more she couldn't go on. Princess Qingjiang was surprisingly not annoyed at all, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing does happen. Since the madam thinks it is inappropriate, I will go back to the sixteenth brother. Although
Sister Lan is from a lower background, but I think this is a good marriage. Oh, what a pity!"
The eldest lady thought to herself: "Who says it's not the case!"
The two chatted for a while, and the eldest lady felt relieved when she saw that Princess Qingjiang was not displeased at all. Princess Qingjiang left her lunch, but the eldest lady refused to eat any more and sat down for a while.
As soon as he sat down, he went back.
The princess of Qingjiang sent her eldest wife out, and after lunch, she took a carriage to Prince Jin's Mansion. Ye Yichen personally welcomed his sister into the mansion. He asked: "How is it?"
Princess Qingjiang smiled and joked: "I didn't know that my sixteenth brother would ever care so much about women!"
Ye Yichen's expression did not change at all, and he just said: "My fair lady, a gentleman likes to be jealous. This is human nature, why should I make such a fuss, sister?"
Princess Qingjiang said: "You are still such an unforgiving person. That's all, I won't argue with you for this. It's the things you entrusted me to do that I failed for you." Then he explained the situation in detail.
The wife said what she said. Princess Qingjiang said: "I didn't expect their family to refuse!"
Ye Yichen sighed softly: "This is not unusual. The old man must be unwilling to get involved in the struggle between the royal family. It's just that the Yang family has to marry the person I like, even if they don't want to, but they can't help it.
Say no more!"
Princess Qingjiang was startled and said: "Why, if someone doesn't want to marry their daughter to you, how can you go and snatch her back?"
Ye Yichen smiled coolly and said: "I have my own way! Sister, just watch from the sidelines!" After saying that, he called Ma Fu in: "Send a post for me to Mr. Yang Peishi and ask him if he has anything in the afternoon.
If you have any time, I want to visit you personally!"
Ma Fu agreed, and Ma Liu went out to do it. Princess Qingjiang smiled and said: "You are so resolute, so you are so anxious to marry this girl?"
Ye Yichen said: "I don't know how many people are worried about such a good girl. It's better to marry her home as soon as possible so that you can feel at ease."
In Lujingzhai, Xiaoyue directed the girls to prepare a meal in the west room, then went to the bedroom to invite Yulan out. Although Yulan stopped crying, her eyes were swollen like a peach. Two
The girl helped her sit down. Because the eldest lady had raised her status, a large table full of food was placed on the table, but Yu Lan had no appetite.
Xiaoyu saw her holding the chopsticks and just stood there in a daze, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "These are the girls' favorite food, you can take a bite at least." Xiaoyue also tried to persuade her. Yulan moved his chopsticks slightly.
She said she was full and let Xiaoyue help her back to the bed to lie down. For a moment, her heart surged and she didn't know where to go.
After some random thoughts, I don’t know how long it took, Xiaoyu suddenly opened the curtain and came in, with a look of surprise on her face: "Girl, Prince Jin is here and is talking to the old man in Songfeng Bookstore!"
Yu Lan sat up from the bed and then remembered that the prince had promised him that the whole matter of convincing the Yang family was entirely his responsibility. Although he knew that the old man had great ideas and was not someone who could be easily persuaded.
, Yu Lan still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
"You two, please help me change my clothes!" Even though she knew that Ye Yichen would never come to see her again at this time, Yu Lan was still very eager to ask the girl to dress herself up properly.
Seeing Yulan come to life, Xiaoyue Xiaoyu was also happy. She hurriedly helped her out of bed, sat in front of the dressing table, and dressed up carefully. Yulan asked Xiaoyue to inquire about what was going on in front of her. In the end, it was her eyes.
It was so swollen from crying that I put on a thick layer of powder but it still couldn't be covered up.
When Yulan finished dressing up, news came from the front that the conversation between Ye Yichen and the old man was not over yet.
Yulan was so anxious that she could neither sit nor stand. She was looking forward to knowing the result right away, but she was also afraid that even Ye Yichen wouldn't be able to deal with the old man.
The day was like a year in the rain, and another half an hour passed before a little girl ran in, leaned down and said a few words in Xiaoyue's ear. Xiaoyue said happily: "Girl, the prince and the old man have finished talking."
Yulan asked anxiously: "What was the expression on the prince's face when he came out?"
Xiaoyue said: "It's said that his face is full of spring breeze and his expression is very happy!"
In this way, this marriage should be inseparable! Yulan's heart finally settled down, and then she felt that her palms were covered with sweat. She called Xiaoyue and asked the maid to bring hot water to clean her hands.
At the same time, I was thinking: How did Ye Yichen convince the old man? The old man was not like a person who would change his mind easily.
Let’s talk about Songfeng Bookstore. The old man sent Ye Yichen away. He was forced by the prince to change his mind. At this moment, he didn’t look angry at all. Instead, he twisted his beard and smiled, thinking: “I didn’t expect that Prince Jin would be so cold-hearted.
How could a person be so interested in Lan'er and be willing to make such a promise to me for her..." On second thought
I thought: "People like Ye Yichen are the most persistent. Once they see who is good, they will be all good. I wish they could lift her to the sky. If they see who is bad, they will fall into the mud and stomp their feet."
Lan'er doesn't have to worry about not having a good life if she marries him. From this point of view, among the grandson's generation, Lan'er is the most blessed!"
The old man went through all the details and then ordered his servants: "Go and call the boss and his wife over. I have something to explain."
Less than an hour after the eldest lady came back from the princess's mansion, Ye Yichen came to visit in person. She was also waiting for the news anxiously. After Ye Yichen left the Yang Mansion, the eldest lady was waiting for the old lady's summons. Servant
As soon as she arrived, she had already packed up and immediately followed her to the old lady's study room.
The eldest man had gone to the Yamen at this time, so he just called the eldest wife in: "I had a serious talk with His Highness the Prince of Jin just now, and the prince is sincere in asking to marry Lan'er. In this case, it's not easy for us to take it.
Boss, I made the decision and accepted this marriage. His Highness and I have already discussed it, and he will send a matchmaker to come to our door in a few days to negotiate a deal. You can tell the boss later that you are all ready to go!"
When the eldest lady heard this, she was immediately overjoyed. She quickly agreed and complimented her on her "unique vision" and so on. Then she left Songfeng Bookstore, but did not go back to Yining Residence. Instead, she went straight to Green Jingzhai.
"The madam is here!" Xiaoyue lifted the curtain and let the eldest lady in. Yulan quickly stood up to greet her. He let the eldest lady go up and before Yulan could say anything, the eldest lady said: "My son, you
A great event has come. It’s time for you to know about it. Just now, Prince Jin came to visit the old lady in person.
I have expressed my intention to marry you as my concubine. Now that the old master has agreed, the prince’s matchmaker will come to your door soon! In the future, when you become a princess, don’t forget your sister. You and your eighth sister will have to marry you.
Just take care of each other!" Before he could do anything else, he thought of his daughter first.
