Chapter 460 Proposal
When ladies and girls from wealthy families buy things, many of them do not give them money on the spot. Most of them choose the goods and then let the shop assistants deliver them to their doorsteps and then get the money.
As soon as the boy heard this, he packed the ten clothes chosen by Mrs. Xu and planned to send them to the Xia family and then come back with money.
The maid next to Xu reached out to take the bundle from the waiter's hand, and the waiter smiled apologetically and said, "Who dares to work for my wife? These clothes will be sent to the Xia family as soon as possible, and they will definitely not delay the third girl's marriage." .”
He just said that he would not give Xu any clothes.
People from the Xia family had come to the shop to make trouble before, wanting to covet the clothes here, but Chu Fei and the others chased them away. From then on, the shop assistants became more jealous of the people from the Xia family.
Nowadays, Mrs. Xu has made it clear that she comes to the shop to get clothes for free, and the guys will not let her do so.
If the clothes were taken away by Mrs. Xu, and he went to Xia's house and couldn't get the money, and Mrs. Xu refused to return the clothes, wouldn't they be the unlucky ones then?
Xu's maid and the waiter started to quarrel. One wanted the baggage and the other refused. The waiter asked the maid, "You won't be short of clothes. Why are you in such a hurry? Take it now. Wait for us to deliver the clothes." Went to Xia's house, you You can take it however you want, and it doesn't take more than a moment and a half, but you have to come and take it. No matter how you look at it, it makes us doubt your purpose." Seeing the quarrel, the other guy saw that the situation was not good. Just hurry up and notify Xia Zihan.
"Where is Qi Lan?" Xia Zihan asked.
When this happened, Qi Lan should have stepped in to mediate it. Why was Mrs. Xu still frozen in the shop?
"Steward Lan has been feeling unwell for the past two days. She also vomited in the morning and didn't eat breakfast. The guys advised her to go back and rest."
"Oops." Chu Lin muttered in a fuss, "Are you pregnant again?"
The guy was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily, scratched the back of his head, and said excitedly, "This...if this is true, then Aunt Zheng will be happy."
A few days ago, he heard that Aunt Zheng was saying that it had been a long time since Manager Lan gave birth to a daughter, and her stomach still hadn't moved, which made Manager Lan look bad.
Guanshi Lan treats them well, and they also want Guanshi Lan to be good. If Guanshi Lan is set by her mother-in-law, it will definitely be bad.
They were worried about Guan Lan.
It would be great if Manager Lan was pregnant.
Xia Zihan was also very happy and immediately sent a little maid to Qi Lan's house to find out. If she was really pregnant, she planned to send someone to send some replenishing medicinal materials. Then, she sent Chu Lin and Chu Fei to Qi Lan's house. Sha Ge, handle Xu's affairs.
After all, Mrs. Xu was her mother in name only. If she went there in person, once Mrs. Xu used her mother's status and filial piety to pressure her, she would have no choice but to watch her take the clothes and leave.
The relationship between her and Mrs. Xu, as Mrs. Xu is an elder and her nominal mother, puts pressure on her. Even if she is the princess, she must not be unfilial to her parents, otherwise her reputation will be ruined. .
In her previous life, her reputation was ruined by Mrs. Xu, but in this life, she would not allow Mr. Xu to ruin her reputation.
Only the maid came forward.
Perhaps, she could also call a few people over to watch the fun.
Xia Zihan thought to himself.
She summoned Silk Grass and told her a few words, "Go to the Liao Mansion and tell Sister Fang that there is a good show in Yusha Pavilion and let her go and see it."
He also told Xiang Xiang to invite Princess Qinghui to watch the fun.
The maids were all sent out, Xia Zihan climbed onto the fire bed, calmed down to make clothes for Chu Jingqi, and also waited for news from outside.
Chu Lin and Chu Fei didn't come back until noon, and Liao Fangyi and Princess Qinghui also came to Chu's house to have a meal.
"Oh, Sister Chu Yu, you missed a good show. You didn't even know that your mother... no, it's Mrs. Xia Er. She's really shameless."
"It's said that it's her daughter's shop. Her daughter is getting married and it's appropriate to get a few sets of clothes as a dowry. Listen to what she said. It seems that the shop belongs to her and she can do whatever she wants."< br>
"What is she talking about as a daughter-in-law and mother at this time? Bah, she has such a big face. How many years has she been in the capital? Did she make you a dress, shoes, jewelry, or something?" One meal? ”
"She didn't do it for you anyway, yet she still has the nerve to say she's your mother, ah..."
Liao Fangyi cursed angrily.
Princess Qinghui also had a look of disdain on her face. She turned to look at Xia Zihan with sympathy on her face, "Fortunately, you still have a grandmother to stand up for you. Otherwise, if you grew up next to a stepmother like that, you wouldn't even know it until your death." How did he die?”
Well, that's right. In her previous life, she acted stupidly and was beaten to death by Xia Ziying.
If her grandmother hadn't picked her up as soon as possible, she might not have grown up, and she would have been left in her hands, given that evil woman Xu.
Mr. Xu is too vicious, narrow-minded, and jealous.
"Hmph, her daughter is just as shameless as she is." Liao Fangyi curled her lips and said.
Xia Zihan ordered the kitchen to add some dishes and accompanied Princess Qinghui and Liao Fangyi to eat in the flower hall. After eating, Liao Fangyi was anxious to go home.
She blushed and whispered, "My mother has been looking at me these past few days... I have to go and have a look. I have to know the details of the place so that I can send the maid to inquire about it. I can't just marry him in a daze." ”
Xia Zihan hummed and ordered Si Cao to send her out.
"Chu Yu, let's go to the back room to talk." Princess Qinghui deliberately stayed and took Xia Zihan to the room to whisper.
Princess Qinghui blushed and said, "Brother Yuexi's servant gave me a letter, saying that he will go to the Second Prince's Mansion to propose marriage in the next few days..."
"My mother-in-law... My mother-in-law has been in frequent contact with Prince Rong's Mansion these days. I'm afraid... you tell Brother Yuexi to move faster."
They were worried that Prince Rong would go ahead of the Chu family to propose marriage, and the second princess had that intention...
This matter is really too late.
In the afternoon, when Chu Yuexi came back, Xia Zihan sent someone to invite him to Zeng's house, and the three of them discussed the matter.
Mrs. Zeng had anticipated this before adopting Chu Yuexi.
Chu Yuexi didn't need to say anything, she spoke first, "Don't worry, I will go out of my way to make this marriage happen for you."
This is not only for Chu Yuexi, but also for the Chu family.
Chu Yuexi is the adopted grandson of the Chu family. Although the emperor, thinking of Old Man Bai, arranged a hereditary fourth-grade military attache for Chu Yuexi, this kind of official who relies on love is not as good as Chu Jingqi who fights to the death. The official who won the prize.
She wouldn't say anything to her face, but behind her back, there were countless people who were jealous of Chu Yuexi who would gossip.
If Chu Yuexi could marry Princess Qinghui and become the second prince's son-in-law, then those people who like to gossip would be afraid of the second prince and Princess Qinghui and would not dare to say anything about Chu Yuexi.
At least Chu Yuexi would not be wronged or bullied.
In the future, when she dies, she will be able to rest assured that the Second Prince and the Chu family will support Chu Yuexi.
The next day, Mrs. Zeng wrote a letter to Mrs. Zhuo, and the two of them went to the Second Prince's Mansion together.
After meeting the second princess, they first exchanged greetings, and then Mrs. Zeng mentioned her proposal to marry Princess Qinghui.
The second princess was stunned for a moment, then her face darkened, and she showed an embarrassed expression, "Qinghui's marriage must be discussed with the prince. I can't make the decision alone. You also know that Qinghui is the eye of the prince." Without his consent, I can’t agree by myself..."
Although they did not reject it face to face, they managed to maintain the face of Zhuo and Zeng. Zeng was not easy to push. The mother and daughter chatted with the second princess for a while, then got up and went home.
As soon as they left, the second princess sent her mother-in-law to look for the second prince to come back.
When she saw the second prince, the second princess said, "Yuexi is a good kid. His medical skills are inherited from the great doctor Bai. Now he is doing well in Yinlin Guard and is highly praised by the emperor. His future is immeasurable." , but after all, he is an adopted heir of the Chu family, not a legitimate direct grandson. The Chu family has a weak foundation. After all, there are only three people in the family. Chu Yu is still the legitimate daughter of the Xia family and cannot be considered a member of the Chu family. After all, there are only two people in the Chu family, Mrs. Chu and Yue Xi. Qinghui is used to the bustle. , She is used to being hugged and hugged, how can I let her marry into the Chu family?”
The second princess cried while talking.
The Second Prince frowned, remembering that Xia Zihan had saved the lives of his wife and children, and the favors the Second Prince's Palace owed to the Chu family.
If it weren't for Xia Zihan's desperate efforts to save him twice, grass would have grown on the graves of his wife, her legitimate son, and his legitimate daughter, and the bones would have been rotten.
Where are the legitimate daughters marrying others now?
The heirs of the Chu family are a little thinner, but doesn’t every family come out of the beginning bit by bit?
Chu Yuexi was shrewd, cunning, powerful in martial arts, and had good medical skills. He was also highly valued by the emperor. It would not take long for such a person to occupy a position in the court.
If he and Chu Xuanyu were there to help, the future, as the second princess said, would be immeasurable.
But this marriage has advantages and disadvantages.
The Chu family is thin, Chu Yuexi has no parents, and Mrs. Chu and Doctor Bai are both reasonable people. Mrs. Chu is also old and will not live for a few years. If Qinghui marries into the Chu family , as soon as you enter the house, you can be the head of the family and the wife of the family, without the pressure of your parents-in-law.
Chu Yuexi has a good future, is good-looking, has good abilities, is not a playboy, and has no bad habits. It can be said that he is good at everything, so Qinghui will not suffer any disadvantages when marrying her.
The only bad thing is that the Chu family has a weak foundation and Chu Yuexi's adoptive status is embarrassing.
However, if he married Qinghui, there would be nothing wrong with it. With Qinghui's identity as princess, and with the pressure of the Second Prince's Palace, who outsider would dare to say that Chu Yuexi's adopted identity is not good?
The second prince made a pot of tea by himself, poured a cup for the second princess and himself, and then explained these things to the second princess.
