"Miss, this is the marriage partner that Madam is looking for for you. Take a look first, and arrange to see which Madam you like. The main reason is that Ms. is already eighteen years old. If it drags on any longer, there will be fewer and fewer matches of the right age. "
After placing the post in front of Lianyi, Grandma Sun said respectfully.
“Mommy, this matter of marriage has always been dictated by my parents and the matchmaker. I don’t understand anything, so how can I make my own decision.” Holding back her blush, she pretended to be shy and said.
Looking at Lianyi’s face that became more and more beautiful after blushing, Grandma Sun just felt it was a pity. Unfortunately, she was just a servant, so she just lowered her eyes and explained:
"Miss, don't think too much. Madam is doing this to compensate you. After all, she will spend the rest of her life with him, so she has to choose someone she likes."
"This"< br>
Lianyi seemed a little moved, but she still said reservedly:
"Mother Sun, please leave the post for now! I will read it when I am free."
Mother Sun After hearing this, grandma knew that the eldest lady was obviously interested, so she left the room.
Ripple continued to practice calligraphy without even looking through the posts. She knew that Mrs. Hou would not be looking for a suitable marriage partner. However, Cherry on the side pretended to read through them, and then told Ripples excitedly that those people were all young talents. Jun, any one you mention can be a good marriage partner.
Lianyi didn't comment, just smiled and listened to Cherry's whisper.
The next day when Lianyi went to pay his respects, Mrs. Hou took her hand and asked:
"Lianyi, have you read the post that Grandma Sun sent you? Do you think there is a suitable candidate? Tell me your name quietly, and I can ask your second brother to come to the house and meet you from a distance."
"Mother!"
Ripple lowered her head in embarrassment, with two blushes on her face.
“I’m sorry.”
Mrs. Hou said with a smile.
"It is natural for a man to marry a woman. You don't need to be shy."
"Mother, it is natural that you make the decision about Lianyi's marriage, and I will listen to you."
< br>
Ripple replied in a voice as small as a mosquito.
"Okay, I'll find an opportunity to invite all the people on the post together, let you see them all, and tell me which one you like more after reading it."
Mrs. Hou He said thoughtfully.
Lianyi immediately thanked him shyly.
Three days later, Grandma Sun dressed up Lianyi early in the morning, then put on her veil, got into the carriage from the back door of the Hou Mansion and left.
"Miss, the young masters we have made appointments with today were all arranged by the second young master in advance. You go and have a look first. We are not in a hurry to make a decision."
After getting on the carriage, Grandma Sun was careful. Explained the situation.
“I know.”
Lianyi only brought cherries when she went out this time, which was also the acquiescence of Grandma Sun.
After the carriage stopped at Hongyun Restaurant, Lianyi entered the restaurant with the support of Grandma Sun and Yingtao.
"The private room for you three is on the second floor. Please come with me."
The person who entertained Ripple was the shopkeeper of Hongyun Restaurant. After all, he had booked the most expensive private room. Especially after Shopkeeper Liang saw Lianyi's eyes, he knew that this young lady was a stunning beauty, and she was riding on the carriage of the Hou Mansion, so he served her even more carefully.
After entering the private room, Grandma Sun took the initiative and ordered some wine and food. After the food was served, she sent the waiter out and asked Yingying to guard the door.
Mother Sun took down the painting on one wall in the private room. There was a hole on the wall, and she could just see the scene on the other side. At this time, the people in the other private room were talking loudly and seemed to be talking. Talk about the imperial examination.
"Miss, please don't make any noise. You can see the situation on the other side from here."
Lianyi took a closer look and saw the other side clearly. There were eight people in the private room opposite, all wearing different clothes. He is well-groomed and looks like a handsome young man, but his appearance is average and his eating and drinking appearance is not very elegant.
At the beginning, we were talking about the court affairs in a serious manner. After three glasses of wine, we started talking about which family has a beautiful young lady who has not yet left the court, which family has a girl with big breasts and a thin waist, and which family has a good fertility. The young lady’s dowry is rich, what can I do to make it easier for her to eat soft food? It makes her feel sick.
Nanny Sun's expression on the side was also a little ugly. She didn't expect that these young masters were all hypocrites. Not to mention that Lianyi didn't like them, even she didn't like them.
After a stick of incense, Lianyi returned to the Hou Mansion with Grandma Sun with a disappointed look on her face.
Cherry had been standing guard at the door, so she didn't hear what the young masters were talking about. She didn't ask Ripple until she returned to Bilanyuan.
“Forget it, those people all looked so handsome, but I didn’t expect it would be so ugly to talk in private.”
Lianyi said with a frustrated look.
"I know my identity, and I don't want to marry into a high family. I just want to find a safe marriage. Why is it so difficult!"
I said with red eyes. Son, cherries are of course a good comfort.
When she went to pay her respects the next day, Mrs. Hou also said with a guilty look on her face:
"Son, it’s my mother who is not doing things properly. These candidates were all recommended by the official media. I thought that the Hou family With all the face we have, the official media will never be perfunctory, who would have thought."
"Mother, this is not your fault, with my current status"
Ripple said half of the sentence Leave half of it and let Mrs. Hou think for herself, and then she pretended to be strong and said:
"Mother, I know it is not easy for you to avoid my father and raise me, so I never ask for high places. , just take the trouble to help me find a farming family.”
"Good boy, I have wronged you after all. This time I have personally seen it, and those hypocrites will definitely not appear in front of you again."
"Thank you, mother."
Lianyi pretended to be moved, With red circles under her eyes, Mrs. Hou pretended to be distressed for a while, and then gave her some jewelry and silk as a comfort.
Lianyi naturally accepted the order and thanked Madam Hou before returning to Bilan Garden.
Tao Tao watched Ripple bring back so many good things when he went to the main courtyard, and became more and more attracted to Ripple.
Another month later, because the weather was getting warmer, the Hou Mansion held a spring banquet, inviting young talents from the imperial city and young ladies who had not yet left the court to attend. The main reason was that the grandchildren of the Hou Mansion had adult children, so they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. A chance to take a look.
And everyone is well aware of the purpose of holding such a banquet. If you accepted the post and came to participate, it would be a disguised agreement.
Coupled with the status of Marquis Anding, there were quite a few people attending the Spring Banquet. In addition, these people brought with them the servants and maids, making the entire Marquis Mansion immediately lively.
At first glance, there are beauties dressed in spring shirts and gorgeous dresses, and on the other side are romantic young men wearing long brocade robes.
Everyone knows why they come to attend the Spring Banquet of the Hou Mansion. Even if they are unable to marry the Hou Mansion, there are so many people of the same age who come, and there are always people who are suitable and can come to the Spring Banquet of the Hou Mansion. Everyone has similar identities and backgrounds, so you don’t have to worry about choosing someone with poor conditions.
Compared with the lively front yard and back garden, Bilanyuan is much quieter. At this time, Yingying is teasing Ripples to go out to watch the excitement:
"Miss, I went to inquire about it. This time I am here to attend the spring banquet. All the young masters are good among men, if anyone can take a fancy to them." (End of Chapter)
