Chapter 349: in the middle of the day

Chapter 349 Look at it

Xiao Xun had already stuffed a meatball into his mouth, and he chewed it slowly after a while, then stared at King Xiang with rounded eyes, "What did you say? Miss Xie?"

"Oh, it seems that Miss Xie is not suitable anymore, it scares you!"

"Father, dear father!"

Xiao Xun quickly put the chopsticks away, took out a white silk handkerchief from his father's sleeve, and wiped it on his father's face indiscriminately, "Father, my son also thinks there is nothing more suitable than Miss Xie, no Speaking of other things, you are getting older now, and you have many wives and concubines in your family. It is inevitable that you will lose maintenance on weekdays. You have three diseases and two pains. You have learned the level of the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital. If you marry Mae...ah no, Duanxian county magistrate, if you get sick, there will be someone to help you!"

"Asshole, you want me to die, don't you?"

King Xiang was so angry that he took off the veil and wiped his face clean. When he looked up at his son with pitiful eyes looking at him, Xiao Xun shrank his mouth and sat down on the stool. With a mournful face, he said, "I knew it. I'm a father who doesn't love my mother. My mother is so cruel. She doesn't come out to see her all year round..."

"Oh, dear son, don't cry, when you cry, daddy's heart will be broken!" Prince Xiang touched his little heart, wishing he could hug his son into his arms.

" Father, help your son to ask for an order!" Why is Xiao Xun crying, but this trick is particularly effective for his father, and he can use it until the critical moment, and it is not in vain.

Speaking of which, King Xiang was also in a dilemma, he sighed again, "This girl, last time I caught my eye at the banquet on the Winter Solstice, she should be the daughter-in-law of Prince Xiang's mansion from now on, and I will also help you to go to the emperor's house." I have begged before, otherwise, this time, you have made great contributions to quelling the epidemic, and you should have been crowned prince long ago."

Xiao Xun was shocked by his father's horrified words. When did the prince's title become so easy to get? But on the surface, he looked devout and grateful, "Father, what does the emperor say?"

"At the beginning, the emperor wanted to reward Miss Xie to his son, but it was the father who forcibly snatched it for you. It must be because of this that the emperor held a grudge against you and my father and son. He refused to give the marriage to him. Only when the family agreed, he was willing to make an order, hmph, this king will remember his order!"

Xiao Xun is used to his father thinking about the emperor with this persecution fantasy mentality all day long. To be honest, it is not too much for the emperor to ask for the Xie family's consent to grant the marriage. Marriage is not enmity, and he also hopes for the best The situation is that Mei Mei agrees to marry him, and he will ask for a marriage order.

"Son, dad always wanted to go drink with Xie Yuanbai, set up a relationship with him, and give some good inkstones to Xie Tiao, that bookworm. Who knows, their father and son are very busy. Xie Yuanbai has recently traveled far away. Xie Tiao The first time I saw this king, I kept away from him, did he look down on my father?"

"Father, you should stay out of this matter for now, my son knows how to do it!"

In any case, Xiao Xun is still very happy now that he has his father to help him.

At the very least, with his father watching over her, the emperor would not dare to promise Mei Mei to others.

The father and son said some more personal words, and then Xiao Xun staggered back to his yard.

Prince Xiang's Mansion is divided into east, middle and west roads. The middle road is naturally the Yin'an Hall as the main body. In front of it is the main hall with a width of seven rooms, a green glazed tile roof, and east and west wing buildings, each with nine rooms. The Hall of Virtue was originally the back hall, but Princess Zhuang did not live in the Hall of Jinde, but the Rongfu Hall on the West Road.

The east road, which is symmetrical to Rongfu Hall, is six small courtyards, where three side concubines and several girls live respectively.

Facing the south of the East Road, there is a group of independent courtyards with gardens. The Ninghui Hall in the main courtyard was originally reserved for the prince Xiang's son to live in after marriage, but since the Jiulin Courtyard, the outer study here, was allocated to Xiao Xun, this If there is a courtyard, it is destined to be given to Xiao Xun in the future.

Zhuang's family was naturally indignant, but it couldn't stop Xiao Xun from living in.

Xiao Xun was young, drank sweet wine, and was exhausted all the way, returned to his residence in the outer courtyard, Jiulinyuan, and fell asleep.

Xie Zhiwei also slept soundly all night. When she woke up, the sky was already bright. She pulled the silver bell on the bedside, and Yuqing opened the curtain to come in. "Young lady, the people from the Cui family have come. I have been waiting in Fuyun Courtyard for a while."

Xie Zhiwei got up and asked, "I just separated from my cousins ​​yesterday, why is someone here today? What happened over there?"

Yuqing said, "It's Mother Bao who came. Originally, the young master and the cousin girls came this time, and Mrs. Cui asked me to bring a lot of gifts. Who knows that they were not separated in Juzhou City, and the girls came first. Let's go, those gifts were sent by the steward of Juzhou City, and they will be delivered directly when they arrive today."

"Sister Zimo has already checked the list, unloaded all the things in the wing room, filled two rooms, and just waited for the girl to see it before putting it in the warehouse."

Said, Yuqing handed the gift list to Xie Zhiwei, Xie Zhiwei I sat in front of the mirror, let Yuqing help her dress up, while looking at the gift list, except for all kinds of river silk, satin, Hangzhou yarn, spring silk, crepe and spring There are one hundred and twenty pieces of yarn spring, and besides the head jewelry, even the toilet chopsticks are prepared, I am afraid that Xie Zhiwei is missing something.

This is the case every year, except for the holidays, whenever someone comes to the capital, the grandfather’s family will send a carload of gifts, and the warehouse of Xie Zhiwei Yi Zhaoyuan can’t hold it.

Xie Zhiwei's eyes were a little hot, and her nose was sore for no reason. She closed the gift list and asked, "Send someone to invite Mother Bao over!"

"Yes!" The little maid who was waiting on the side blessed Fushen with shallow eyebrows, opened the curtain and went out.

Not long after, when Xie Zhiwei finished washing up, Nanny Bao was already waiting in the open room. When she saw Xie Zhiwei coming out, she hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Hurry up and help Mammy up!" Xie Zhi said angrily, "Mama is someone who follows Second Aunt, how can you do such a big gift to me?"

"Young lady is now the Princess, and she is sympathetic to slaves and maidservants, these old people, and servants and maidservants have to be ignorant of etiquette. If people outside see this, they will not say that the girl is sympathetic, but say that the servants and maidservants who come from the Cui family do not understand etiquette. , wouldn’t it be disgraceful to the master’s family?”

"The more you old people, the more strict the rules, I know that. But right now I'm here, and there's no one else, please sit down, Mammy!" Xie Zhiwei motioned Mama Bao to drink tea, and ordered Yuqing said, "Go and invite Mother Qiu!"

When Bao Momo heard this, her eyes burst into joy. She and Qiu Momo were cousins. They lived together in Cui's house since they were young. Haven't seen each other for many years.
