Chapter 1394 Meeting
Marrying the second cousin of the Chu family was something Rong Laner had never thought about. When she heard about it, she thought her grandmother and mother were joking with her.
It can be seen that the grandmother's face is serious and the mother's expression is also very serious. Rong Laner knows that they are not joking, but are serious.
Could it be that the matchmaker who came to the Rong family today came to propose marriage to her on behalf of her second cousin?
When she thought of that cold second cousin, Rong Laner's face turned pale, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Mrs. Dou became anxious when she saw that her granddaughter had been stunned for a long time and did not speak. "You should speak. It's just a matter of one sentence whether you agree or not. However, there is a generational gap between you and your second cousin, so you don't have to Think about it, since grandma and your mother have come to ask for your consent, it means that we don’t care about those things, the most important thing is your wishes. If you think it is okay, then we will send someone to Prince Anjun’s Mansion tomorrow morning to give the princess Say something back.”
"I...I don't know."
After holding it in for a long time, Rong Laner choked out this sentence.
Her mind was blank. Even if there was something, it was her second cousin's cold face and his cold eyes, staring at her coldly in the melon of her head. How could she have anything to think about? Thinking of something else?
Dou Da took his daughter's hand and said softly, "Lan'er, I know this is a bit sudden. You may be shocked. Don't be afraid. Don't panic. Mom has already told Matchmaker Li that three days later Write a reply. You should think about it carefully in the next three days. When you have an answer, tell your mother so that she can give an explanation to Prince An. "
Perhaps it was because Dou Da's voice was too gentle, but Rong Laner's panicked heart miraculously calmed down.
She asked, "Grandma, mother, does your second cousin agree to this...this marriage?"
"I agree, I must have agreed, otherwise, how could the princess let Matchmaker Li come to visit." Doctor Dou said.
The Dou family and the Chu family have close contacts. Although Mrs. Dou does not know everything about the Chu family, she does know a lot.
Regarding the marriage of several children of the Chu family, the Zhuo family had long ago said that the children should choose their own partners. Only when the children agreed would the elders take action.
Since Mrs. Zhuo invited Matchmaker Li, Mrs. Zhuo must have asked Lao Er before.
If the second child doesn't agree, Matchmaker Li can't come to Rong's house.
Rong Laner blushed, her heart beating fast.
After thinking for a long time, Rong Laner said, "Mom, I... I want to talk to my second cousin, is that okay?"
"At this time?" Dou Da frowned. It wasn't that she didn't agree, but that during this sensitive period, if someone found out, wouldn't it mean that Lan'er and Lao Er were secretly communicating?
Perhaps she could see her mother's worry, Rong Laner's face turned red, and she said coyly, "Just...just go directly to Prince Anjun's Mansion. I borrowed some patterns from my eldest cousin, and I have already traced them." After that, tomorrow, I...I want to go and give it back to her."
"Okay then, I'll leave a message for Chu Yu right now." When Dou Da heard this, he had an honest reason to go to Anjun Prince's Mansion, so he would not stop his daughter anymore.
After all, this is a lifelong matter for the daughter. If the daughter can talk to the second child in person, it might be good for the two young people to get along with each other in the future.
Seeing Dou Da agreed, Mrs. Dou said with a smile, "Then I won't go join in the fun tomorrow. Dou Da, mother is waiting for the good news about you and Lan'er at home."
"Mom, this matter depends on Lan'er." Even if the men in the Chu family are good, Dou Da still doesn't want to embarrass his daughter. In the evening, when Rong San came back, Dou Da told him about it.
Rong San was stunned for a moment, and then he was in a bad mood and laughed loudly, "Okay, it's done. From now on, I will be the in-law of the county prince and the father-in-law of Chu Jingqi's younger brother. I am one generation higher than Chu Jingqi." Elder, Chu Jingqi must treat me respectfully as an elder when I go to Chu’s house to drink from now on.”
Thinking of the scene where Chu Jingqi was holding back her anger and had to hold him up, Rong San was not in a good mood.
Dou Da had a black line on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched again and again, "You just wanted to be my cousin Aqi's elder, so you agreed so quickly, without even thinking or hesitating?"
"How come, wife, you can't unjustly accuse me of my loving fatherly feelings towards you Lan'er." Rong San, who was so proud of himself, saw that his wife was angry, so he hugged her in his arms and coaxed her sweetly, "That's not the Chu family. A man from the Chu family, didn’t you always say that among the men in the capital, apart from me, the men from the Chu family are the best? Now that Lan’er has the opportunity to marry into the Chu family, shouldn’t you be happy?”
The daughter-in-law likes the men of the Chu family so much. As a husband, he is not jealous, but the daughter-in-law also said that he is better than the men of the Chu family. In the daughter-in-law's heart, he ranks before the men of the Chu family, so he I was so sad that I couldn't show it.
Unexpectedly, today he used the words that his daughter-in-law often talks about to make her happy.
Really, don’t be too sour.
Dou Da snorted, "If I didn't know that you are always kind to Lan'er, I wouldn't be able to forgive you like this."
"Yes, yes, daughter-in-law, I was wrong. There won't be a next time." Rong San hurriedly walked down the steps, and then changed the subject, "Lan'er and Lao Er's matter is about to be settled, daughter-in-law, her dowry we Do I need to add some?”
The dowry he prepared for Lan'er was not large, but compared with Xia Zihan's, it was still a lot less, a big difference.
Although he is not so wealthy and has prepared as much dowry for Lan'er as Xia Zihan, he will do his best to prepare as much for Lan'er as possible, at least to let Lan'er live with a high chest in Anjun Prince's Mansion. , don’t feel inferior and unable to hold your head high just because the dowry is small.
Dou Ziran was extremely moved by the fact that her husband was devoted to making plans for his daughter. The best way was to personally thank her husband and satisfy Rong San.
The next day, Dou Da got up a little late. By the time she and Rong Laner arrived at Prince Anjun's mansion, it was almost noon.
After meeting Xia Zihan and returning the flower pattern to her, Rong Laner met with the second child alone with Xia Zihan's help.
"Second...Second cousin, that...that matter, are you...are you really willing...are you willing?"
In the past, when Rong Laner saw her second son, she spoke very neatly.
Now seeing the second child, Rong Laner felt extremely shy, her heart was as excited as a drum, beating very fast, and even her speech became as stuttering and stuttering.
Fortunately, the second child didn't dislike it, didn't care, and didn't even change his expression.
His cold and indifferent eyes were always looking at her, shining through her inside and out like a searchlight. Finally, he curled his lips, pointed at her with dissatisfaction, and said, "Eat more in the future." Fruit and pig trotters ”
