Chapter 1123, Princess Chun'an, who was biased by the story 4
After returning from the racecourse, Xiao Keyan felt a little embarrassed and asked Dong Jingyi: "I haven't been away from Xiliang for a few years. Why did I come back this time and find that some people here are really thick-skinned."
Dong Jingyi first paused, then smiled and asked tentatively, "But someone on the racetrack approached you?"
Xiao Ke looked surprised: "How do you know? Did you see it?"
Dong Jingyi smiled mysteriously: "I didn't see it, but I can imagine it. Now the racecourse is not open to the public, and most of the people who can enter now are the surrounding soldiers. It is difficult for the border army to marry a wife. You should know this, right? "
Xiao Keyan nodded: "I know, in order to solve this problem, my father had a lot of headaches, he was building a military residential area for the soldiers, and he tried his best to recruit and encourage women from other places, which was very expensive. A lot of effort."
Dong Jingyi: "The various measures promulgated by the prince have indeed allowed many soldiers to marry wives, but there are too many soldiers on the frontier, and the problem of difficult marriage for soldiers still exists."
"One woman has more than one request. This situation is very common in various military towns."
"In other places, it is the parents' life to marry more wives, but for soldiers in Xiliang, there are many girls and boys, and the competition is too great. In order to increase their own advantages, many generals and men will take the initiative to go to the girl they like. Good luck ahead."
"This kind of situation is Meng Lang's move in other places, but Xiliang's situation is special. If someone really offends you, don't take it to heart. After all, who told you to look so attractive."
Xiao Keyan glanced at Dong Jingyi with a smile, and after listening to her explanation, the anger in her heart dissipated a lot, and she asked curiously, "Have you ever met a man to show his favor directly to you?"
Dong Jingyi smiled shyly: "I often go out with my father and eldest brother, and I will definitely meet some."
Xiao Keyan immediately asked with a smile, "Then do you like it?"
Although Dong Jingyi was a little shy, she still said generously: "Of course I'm very happy to be liked, but I still prefer gentle and elegant men to enthusiastic and unrestrained men."
Xiao Keyan was moved when she heard this.
Being liked seems to be a little happy indeed.
At this moment, the maid entered the room and reported, "Girl, there is a guest at home, Madam asked you to come over to see the guest."
Dong Jingyi quickly looked at Xiao Keyan: "Together?"
Xiao Keyan shook his head: "Forget it, you just let me take a break for a while and hide for a few days of socializing, you can go by yourself!"
Seeing this, Dong Jingyi didn't persuade her too much. Not everyone can see her status as a princess. She smiled and re-dressed before turning around and heading to the main courtyard.
In order not to appear too abrupt, Mrs. Yuan deliberately called several well-connected ladies to the Dong Mansion. When Dong Jingyi came, Mrs. Yuan and Miss Yuan looked over.
Dong Jingyi greeted the lady present generously, and then warmly entertained the girls in the room.
Mrs. Yuan looked at Dong Jingyi secretly, and her eyes became more and more satisfied. After chatting with Mrs. Dong, she praised Dong Jingyi from time to time and learned a lot about Dong Jingyi.
The ladies did not leave until half afternoon.
Dong Jingyi went back to her yard and saw Xiao Keyan lying on the slump in front of the window, eating fruit while flipping through the storybook, not to mention more comfortable.
Xiao Keyan saw her coming back and said with a smile, "Is the entertainment over?"
Dong Jingyi nodded and looked at Xiao Keyan enviously: "I also want to be like you, I can't see anyone if I don't want to, and I can do whatever I want and be free."
Xiao Keyan laughed: "Look at what you said, who can really do whatever they want in the world? That is, in your house, I can hide for a few days to relax, but I don't have to socialize with my mother, but I have a princess. Titles, you can refuse to see people, but most of the time, you can still see them."
Dong Jingyi thought about it as well, and said with a smile about the person who came today: "General Yuan is the officer above my father, and it stands to reason that we should come to see us, but I didn't expect Mrs. Yuan to take Miss Yuan with you today. Coming here, it really surprised me."
Xiao Keyan's expression paused: "The Yuan family?"
Dong Jingyi nodded: "Mrs. Yuan is very easy-going, and Miss Yuan is also very straightforward. Unlike some madams, who always like to put on a high-level appearance because of their high positions."
Xiao Keyan had never met anyone, so she did not express her opinion, and silently listened to Dong Jingyi continue to speak.
During dinner, Mrs. Dong talked about Mrs. Yuan's visit at the dinner table.
Dong Zhenghua listened and immediately smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I also met Master Yuan at the racecourse today, and I ran a few laps with him."
said with admiration on his face.
"Sure enough, he is indeed a tiger of the general door. Young Master Yuan's riding skills and shooting are both very powerful."
Dong Yuanxuan said: "Yuan Yonghao has been training with General Yuan Da in the military camp since he was a child. As soon as he reaches the championship, he can be on his own and lead troops to patrol the Twelfth Army Town. If he has no real skills, how can he control his soldiers."
said, looking at Xiao Keyan with a smile.
"Some people say that he has the style of your father when he was young."
Xiao Keyan's face was full of disbelief: "Just that guy, can he compare with my father?"
Dong Zhenghua took the remarks with a smile: "It's not an exaggeration, Yuan Da Gongzi's ability to manage the army is indeed outstanding. The Xiliang cavalry was trained by the prince himself. get their approval."
"But the current cavalry commander is Dada Gongzi Yuan. From this, it can be seen that his ability is very powerful. By the way, you should have met him already, right?"
Xiao Keyan nodded and said nothing.
Dong Jingyi smiled and said, "I've seen it more than once. When I went to the assembly square, I saw it once, and later in the Ganzhou restaurant, when the merchants from the Western Regions made trouble, I saw it once."
"Don't say, his skill is really good. On the arena in the assembly square, one person overturned everything. When the merchants in the Western Regions were in chaos, he also shot, and the talents on the second floor of the restaurant were not injured."
said, looking at Xiao Keyan.
"Are you right, Keyan?"
Xiao Keyan 'oh': "Almost."
Mrs. Dong: "I heard that the Yuan family seems to want to marry the Ren family?"
Dong Jingyi hurriedly interjected: "It should be, Keyan and I have seen him fight with Cao Gongzi for the sake of Ren girl. But ah, Cao Gongzi also likes Ren girl, who can marry Ren girl in the end? ."
Mrs. Dong: "Okay, don't worry about other people's family affairs, eat well."
Yuan House.
"Mother, have you seen Miss Dong?"
Yuan Yonghao looked at Madam Yuan expectantly.
Mrs. Yuan gave her son a sideways look: "Look, you are in a hurry."
Yuan Yonghao smiled, and stood behind Mrs. Yuan diligently to help her beat her shoulders: "There are women in a family who ask for everything, Miss Dong is so good, isn't my son afraid that your daughter-in-law will be the first to come?"
Mrs. Yuan glared at her son: "The eight characters haven't been written yet. You keep your mouth shut for me. The reputation of the girl's family is the most important thing."
Yuan Yonghao nodded again and again: "What the mother said is, isn't the son talking to you now?"
Mrs. Yuan looked at her eager son, a little funny: "In the past, the family wanted you to get married sooner, but you always ignored it, but this time I was really anxious."
Yuan Yonghao smiled and said nothing. Didn't he never meet someone he liked before? He wasn't in a hurry, but now that he met a girl Dong who made his heart move, of course he had to marry him and go home early.
"Mother, when are you going to propose marriage?"
Mrs. Yuan really laughed angrily: "Jin Gui, the girl of the official family, there is a procedure for seeking marriage, and one of the three matchmakers and six hires is indispensable. In addition, your father and Dong Zhifu are both officials in Xiliang. Before the matchmaker came to the door, Your father and I have to go to the door to find out."
Yuan Yonghao frowned: "Why is it so troublesome?"
Mrs. Yuan looked at her son who was suddenly stupid and sighed: "If you like someone, they must marry you? In order not to embarrass the two families in the future, she would have to explore first, but once the matchmaker came to the door, she was rejected. , then our family won't look too good."
Yuan Yonghao's heart tightened, and he looked at Madam Yuan with anxiety on his face: "Don't the Dong family agree?" After saying that, he quickly grabbed Madam Yuan's hand, "Mother, you have to help your son, if your son is not Miss Dong, you won't marry her."
Mrs. Yuan frowned when she saw her son's nervous look: "You've only met Miss Dong a few times, so why don't you marry her?"
Yuan Yonghao recalled the only few times he had met with Xiao Keyan, and his eyes flashed with a sweet smile from the beginning of love: "I haven't seen her a few times, but every time I see her, I am very happy in my heart, I want to see her smile, I want to see her pay attention to me"
Mrs. Yuan stared blankly at her son, the seriousness in her son's eyes, and her heart froze for a moment.
She was both delighted and surprised at her son's enlightenment.
Happy things, my son is moved, and the family will soon be able to import more children; to my surprise, my son seems to be caught in it!
Their family is good, but what if the Dong family does not agree?
Wouldn't the son be injured at that time?
When she was not enlightened, she took a detour to the girl; when she was enlightened, she fell into it at once. Madam Yuan really doesn't know if this is good or bad?
That night, Mrs. Yuan told General Yuan about her son.
General Yuan was silent for a moment: "The Dong family is a good family. I'll be free in two days. Let's go to the door to find out."
The son finally likes a girl, and the girl is also satisfied with them. Naturally, parents should try their best to fulfill their sons.
"Why is the Yuan family here again?"
Dong Jingyi looked at the maid who came to report in surprise.
Maid: "Not only Madam Yuan is here this time, but General Yuan is here too."
Dong Jingyi looked at Xiao Keyan and speculated: "It should be for the horse racing conference."
Dong Yuanxuan was the prefect of Ganzhou, so he would naturally supervise the horse racing conference, but the participants were mainly soldiers. General Yuan Da was the general soldier of Xiliang, so it was reasonable to come to ask about the horse racing conference at this time.
"Just tell me what to do?"
Xiao Keyan: "You'll know if you go and see."
Dong Jingyi nodded: "Okay, I'll be back when I go."
Looking at Dong Jingyi who was going out, Xiao Keyan thought for a while, and summoned the maid: "You follow along and have a look, and come back and tell me when you hear the news."
The maid was blessed, and she followed quickly. After about two cups of tea, the maid came back: "Princess, the servant has inquired."
Xiao Keyan asked quickly, "Quickly tell me, what is the Yuan family doing?"
Maid: "Princess, the Yuan family is here to propose marriage."
"What?!" Xiao Keyan was shocked and surprised: "Who proposed marriage to whom?"
Maid: "Yuan Da Gongzi proposed to Miss Dong."
Xiao Keyan frowned: "Didn't you say that guy likes the number one beauty in Western Liang?" Then, her face sank, she really is a big radish!
Let's not talk about that girl. Before that guy molested her at the racecourse, but now he turned his head and asked to marry Jing Yi, this person is really bad.
Fortunately, Uncle Dong and the others also said that he had the demeanor of her father when he was young.
At this moment, Dong Jingyi came back with a blushing face.
Xiao Keyan saw it and hurried forward: "Why did the Yuan family suddenly come to propose marriage?"
Dong Jingyi corrected: "It's not a marriage proposal, it's just General Yuan Da and Madam Yuan who came to talk about it today. It's not a marriage proposal."
"The Yuan family suddenly came to the door, and my grandmother was as surprised as I was." After saying that, he looked at Xiao Keyan, "Yuan Da Gongzi fought for Miss Ren and Young Master Cao, you and I saw it with our own eyes, it is impossible to cheat, why suddenly Are you running to propose to me?"
"There must be a reason!" Xiao Keyan thought about it for a while, and summoned the maid: "Go and find out if anything has happened to the Ren family and the Cao family these days."
The maids took their orders and didn't come back until half afternoon.
Xiao Keyan and Dong Jingyi both looked at each other: "Come on, tell me, have you found anything?"
Maid: "Nothing has happened to the Ren family and the Cao family these days. It's just that Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Cao often travel together. Some people have seen that Miss Ren and Young Master Cao are always in the right place."
After Xiao Keyan heard this, she had such an expression on her face as she expected, and then looked at Dong Jingyi with sympathy: "Based on my many years of experience in reading the book, Jingyi, you must be regarded as a spare child by that Great Young Master Yuan. already."
Dong Jingyi let out an "ah", her face full of confusion.
Xiao Keyan: "Listen to me and tell you in detail."
"If you say that Miss Ren is the heroine, then Da Gongzi Yuan is a domineering and rich male partner. To him, Miss Ren is the soft white moonlight that he can't get in his heart, and you are the female partner wife that your family wants to marry. ."
"I said before that the Ren family was going to marry the Yuan family, and I felt something was wrong. Think about it, the Yuan family is the highest military officer in Xiliang, and the Ren family is the highest civil servant in Xiliang. These two families want to marry, definitely not what the emperor wants to see. of."
"As long as the head of the Yuan family and the Ren family have some brains, they will not agree to this."
"As for your family, Uncle Dong's ability is obvious to all, and coupled with the relationship with our family, it is definitely an excellent in-law family."
"Then Da Gongzi Yuan was able to subdue the Xiliang cavalry, so he wasn't a brainless man. He should have known about his own affairs, so when he found out that Miss Ren and Young Master Cao were in a relationship, he was so angry that he lost his mind and was attacked by his family. Force, and then there is today's marriage proposal."
"There is another possibility, that is that the great master Yuan did not know that General Yuan and Mrs. Yuan came to Dong's house to propose marriage to him."
"No matter which possibility, as a female supporting character, you will not have a good end."
"Do you think what I'm saying makes sense?"
Dong Jingyi nodded straightly: "Ke Yan, you're so right, I think about it carefully, things may really be like what you said." After speaking, she stomped her feet.
"The Yuan family is going too far. I don't want to be the son-in-law of the Lao Shi. Thank God, the grandmother and the others will definitely not agree to the Yuan family."
Now it was Xiao Keyan's turn to be surprised: "Why didn't you agree? I think Uncle Dong and Big Brother Dong value that Young Master Yuan. To be honest, the Yuan family's lintel is pretty good."
Dong Jingyi suddenly became shy, and turned to the side in embarrassment.
Xiao Keyan saw it, and became more and more curious: "What's wrong?"
Dong Jingyi looked at Xiao Keyan: "I tell you, you are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense."
Xiao Keyan: "How strict is my mouth, don't you know?"
Dong Jingyi then whispered, "I've already made an appointment."
Xiao Keyan said "ah" in surprise: "When did it happen? Whose son?"
Dong Jingyi blushed a little: "What you know is the eldest son of your third aunt, your cousin Xue!"
Xiao Keyan was stunned: "Cousin Xue?!"
Dong Jingyi nodded: "When Uncle Xue was transferred from Xiliang three years ago, he and Aunt Xue came to my house to exchange tokens in person."
Xiao Keyan returned to her senses: "I don't know anything about this, and neither does my mother, you guys are keeping it a secret."
Dong Jingyi said quickly: "It's not intentional to hide it, it's just that the prince and princess haven't been in Xiliang these years, so it's not easy for us to take the initiative to talk about it."
Xiao Keyan smiled: "Cousin Xue is very knowledgeable, he really deserves the words gentle and refined." After saying that, she looked at Dong Jingyi jokingly, "You have a good eye!"
Dong Jingyi was too ashamed: "Don't laugh at me."
Xiao Keyan laughed even more happily, Dong Jingyi, who was anxious, pretended to hit her, and the two suddenly got into a fight.
