Chapter 512 Murong Jue’s appointment
The gift from the man's side was also carried into Su's house.
Matchmaker Chen said happily: "Mr. Murong has said that he will personally bring the betrothal gift and pay the application period tomorrow."
"So fast?" Su Tai was slightly surprised.
Matchmaker Chen explained: "The master will return to the imperial capital soon, and things are naturally getting better and better. Don't worry, Mrs. Shen, there is still a lot of things!"
Su Tai realized that Matchmaker Chen had misunderstood, so she sent the person away first, then immediately asked Yu Dong to go to Zhaohua County to inform Shen Yi to come back tomorrow.
The whole Su family watched Matchmaker Chen's etiquette and were dumbfounded.
After everyone left, Han asked tremblingly: "I've been busy from morning to night today, is that all?"
Su Tai nodded tiredly.
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but clicked her tongue at this moment, "It's so easy to arrange a marriage here! The matchmaker came to the house twice, once to arrange marriage, and then to follow the man to give the betrothal gift. She didn't necessarily care about the last marriage, how could it be like that? This one is too boring!
Couldn't she be delaying time on purpose to earn a few taels of silver? ”
The Han family was convinced and began to work with the Xu family as matchmakers.
Su Tai didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this, and the explanation didn't make sense, so she just stopped talking and asked everyone to go back and rest.
Shen Yi rushed back to Shenjiazhuang before Chenshi.
Traveling with him was Lu Tong's family.
This battle.
Su Tai quickly asked her servants to invite Lu Tong and his family in.
Matchmaker Chen hasn't arrived yet, and there are quite a few villagers waiting to see the man hired today.
The ice and snow are still there.
There were already many villagers standing outside the yard of Shen Yi's house. Because of the cold weather, Shen Laizi opened his yard and let the villagers sit and chat.
After the sun came out, everyone was much warmer and there was endless chatter and laughter.
Lu Tong and Tang Shi felt the excitement of the village, and their moods became much brighter.
Tang and Han talked.
After Mrs. Han found out that Mrs. Tang was the wife of the county magistrate, she was so flattered that she even restrained her usual loud voice.
Su Tai rolled her eyes as she looked on. She had a high status in Zhaohua County, and her mother was not so polite to her.
When Mrs. Han saw that she was still here, she asked, "You don't want to go take a look? Although the child doesn't need to come forward today, you can't be unprepared."
Su Tai twitched her lips and walked out.
After a while, a group of people entered Shenjiazhuang.
The villagers sitting outside Shen Yi's house basking in the sun saw that flash of red and jumped up with excitement, "Coming, coming, coming."
Everyone looked around and saw a handsome young man sitting on a tall horse. He was majestic and imposing. There were soldiers accompanying him, making a huge noise.
Behind him was a convoy escorting the betrothal gifts. From a distance, there were at least dozens of carriages.
The villagers were shocked by this battle, stopped talking and laughing one after another, and silently moved Dao'er out of the way.
At this time, everyone in the room who was joking and joking came out after hearing the movement outside.
When Lu Tong and Tang Shi saw the soldiers, their expressions changed instantly.
Garrison?
The couple looked at each other and suddenly realized that if the other party was the young master of the Xue family who was stationed in charge of the army, then it was indeed not someone the Shen family could offend.
However, the Xue family does not seem to be an unattainable family in the imperial capital. Maybe there is someone behind the Xue family?
Lu Tong thought about the prefect's attitude towards Xue Mao, and became more and more sure of his guess. Tang came here just to understand the situation, but now she had completely given up.
When it comes to garrisoning troops, that's not something their little county magistrate can fight for.
Just when everyone stared at Murong Jue in amazement.
Murong Jue had already dismounted, and Hu Huo followed him. Together with him and Shen Yi and his wife, they bowed down to give blessings. With a joyful smile on their faces, they said loudly: "This slave has been ordered by the eldest princess of Huai'an to accompany the young master. Come and make an appointment with the Shen family. This is the letter of appointment. Please see Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen.”
Shen Yi saluted solemnly, took it with both hands, and invited Murong Jue and his party to enter.
Lu Tong and Tang were so shocked that they could not speak.
The eldest princess of Huai'an? When did such a noble person come to Zhaohua County? Could it be that there is a princess behind the Xue family?
hiss! Is the Shen family climbing to the sky?
Everyone in the Su family was confused.
Han couldn't help but asked Tang in a low voice, "Um, Mrs. Lu, who is the eldest princess of Huai'an?"
Mrs. Xu also came over and listened carefully.
Tang calmed down, looked around, and whispered in Han's ear, "It is said that the eldest princess Huai'an is the sister of the emperor's mother, and the most noble princess of Langya Kingdom! That is really precious!"
Madam, your granddaughter has really married into a wealthy family! ”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Mr. Han was so frightened that he trembled all over.
Mrs. Xu was even more confused. Now she finally understood why Su Tai refused to disclose the man's situation. This background really can't be talked about!
Xu asked fearfully: "What is the relationship between Yuezhang's fiancé and the eldest princess?"
Tang glanced at the garrison and muttered: "Those are all imperial officers and soldiers, belonging to the garrison commander Xue Mao. This man should be from the Xue family, and maybe he is backed by the eldest princess of Huai'an."
Mrs. Tang herself was not sure, which made Mrs. Han and Xu feel very anxious.
A group of women cautiously approached the door of the hall, listening to what was going on inside.
Murong Jue knelt down and saluted Shen Yi and Su Tai seriously, "Thank you to my uncle and aunt for betrothing Yuezhang to me. I, Murong Jue, swear an oath in front of you two today that I will live up to Yuezhang in this life."
< br>
When Mrs. Tang heard the words "Murong Jue", she gasped in fright, and quickly supported Ms. Han beside her. When she recovered, she hurriedly took a few steps towards the door.
The Han family and the Xu family didn't know why, so they all followed him out.
Tang quickly ran to the place where Lu Tong was resting.
Seeing Lu Tongzheng, Su Chunlin and Shen Ying talking and laughing, they stopped talking.
Lu Tong took the initiative and asked: "Didn't Madam go to watch the ceremony? Why didn't you go in and take a look? The splendid scene prepared by Commander Xue today is really rare."
Tang's lips moved and she spoke with difficulty, "This son-in-law of the Shen family is not named Xue, his surname is Murong."
With a "clang", the tea cup in Lu Tong's hand fell to the ground, and he was stunned.
Su Chunlin and others looked puzzled, "What's wrong with the surname Murong?"
Lu Tong came back to his senses and smiled with difficulty, "His Majesty's surname is now Murong, and Murong is the imperial surname!"
Su Chunlin was so frightened that he fell off the bench, and Shen Ying and Shen Zhuang quickly pulled him up.
One by one, they all stared blankly at the door of Shen Yi's house.
Han asked weakly: "Is my grandson-in-law a prince?"
It can’t be that person! The age doesn’t match up either!
Tang struggled for a while and expressed her guess, "The maid just mentioned the eldest princess of Huai'an. I know that the eldest princess of Huai'an has a son. The emperor gave her the surname Murong. His age is also suitable. I think this should be Huai'an." The eldest princess’s son.”
Ms. Han became even more frightened after hearing this, "My granddaughter's mother-in-law is a princess? No, no, no! The princess is just a single person. When choosing a daughter-in-law, she has to choose from the noble ladies in the imperial capital. How could she like a little girl like me?" A local girl?”
It's not that she thinks her granddaughter is bad, but that they really can't compare with the emperor here.
