Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 154 Mind

It is very sincere for Duke Ding to come to express his thanks in person.

Xiao Yilin smiled and said: "Mr. Ding is so polite. Jing Yan is always willing to help others. She must save Miss Lu when she is in danger. Not only Miss Lu, but also Jing Yan who is in danger. Will save too."

Jing Yi took the opportunity and said: "Yes, you don't have to be so polite, I just happened to meet Miss Lu in danger on the street, so I rescued her. If it was someone else, I would do the same. It's not a big deal , so the Duke doesn’t have to worry too much about this matter.”

Ding Guogong waved his hand and said, "Hey, this is a small matter for Mr. Chu, but it is a life-saving grace for our family. We should come to thank Mr. Chu."

Qiao said: "Yes, Mr. Chu, we only have one daughter, Zhilan, and the whole family dotes on her. If something happens to Zhilan, I don't know what to do. Mr. Chu's rescue yesterday is equivalent to saving the old man. So it is appropriate to thank Mr. Chu.

Mr. Chu looks young, he is sixteen or seventeen, right? "

Jing Yi smiled when she heard this, "I'm 15 years old this year."

Upon hearing that Mrs. Qiao was only one year older than her own daughter, which was just the right age, she said with a smile, "Master Chu is about the same age as my Xiaowu. My Xiaowu is 16 years old this year, and he is a year older than you. You can make friends in the future." Come and see a lot. His Royal Highness Prince Jing is usually busy with official duties, and if Mr. Chu wants to go somewhere in the capital, you can ask my little five to accompany you."

The fifth son of Duke Dingguo's mansion is the youngest son of the Qiao family, and he is also a direct descendant, so he is very much loved by the Qiao family.

At this time, the fifth son Lu Qijiang said: "Yes, Mr. Chu, you are not familiar with the capital when you just came to the capital. I can take Mr. Chu for a good tour of the capital. You are my little sister's life-saver. If you need anything in the future, don't worry about it." Tell me."

Lu Qijiang is a young man with a sunny and cheerful personality, and he loves him when he sees his benefactor who saves his little sister so handsome and refined.

Seeing Duke Ding's wife being so enthusiastic, Xiao Yilin looked at the little girl with indescribable affection and kindness, and when he heard that Mrs. Qiao asked Lu Qijiang to accompany the little girl to visit the capital, he became vigilant.

Why do people in Dingguo's mansion seem to be a little bit wrong?

Qiao still wanted to ask more questions, but considering that this was their first meeting with Mr. Chu, and with His Royal Highness Prince Jing at the side, it was hard to ask any more.I can only wait for Xiaowu and Mr. Chu to get familiar with each other in the future, so that I can find out more things.

Lu Qifeng said: "This time we have prepared some small gifts, and please accept them, Mr. Chu."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yi looked at Xiao Yilin and said, "You guys are too polite, there is really no need to give gifts."

Seeing that the little girl wanted to refuse, Xiao Yilin said, "Since it's a thank-you feast from Duke Dingguo's mansion, you can accept it. Treat it as full of the friendship of Duke Dingguo's mansion."

Xiao Yilin doesn't want everyone to push around.The little girl accepted the gift from Duke Ding's mansion, and treated it as a favor from Duke Ding's mansion, so everyone doesn't have to worry too much about it in the future.

He didn't really want Lu Qijiang to be with the little girl all day.If he wanted to accompany the little girl, he himself would accompany the little girl, no other men would need it.

After talking for a while, Duke Ding took his family and left.

Duke Dingguo and his wife were in a carriage, and as soon as the curtain in front of the carriage was lowered, Mrs. Qiao grabbed her husband's arm and whispered excitedly: "Master, this Mr. Chu is so handsome, His speech and behavior are also very decent, and he is well-bred at first glance. It can be said that this appearance is more than enough for our Laner."

Ding Guogong stroked his beard and nodded, "I think this Mr. Chu is really good. He has a handsome appearance, clear eyes, and elegant manners. He is neither humble nor overbearing to us. He is very decent. His family should not be bad."

Mrs. Qiao said: "We don't expect Lan'er to marry a rich family. Which of the boys from the rich family didn't take concubines not long after they married their wives. There are also a few regular wives from the rich family who live comfortably. "

Duke Ding coughed uncomfortably when he heard the words. He also took three concubines, and he didn't know how to respond to what his wife said.

Qiao didn't expect her husband to say anything, and continued: "I hope that Lan'er will marry a lower family, so that she can be tougher in her husband's family. If the son-in-law can only marry Lan'er in the future, that's fine. It's even better. Besides, our Lan'er has both talent and looks, and anyone who marries will burn incense.

You can ask more about the situation of Mr. Chu. If he is not married and his family background is not bad, we will ask someone to be a matchmaker.

You also said that Mr. Chu has a bright future. If we get married when he is not well-off, he will respect Lan'er more in the future. "

Ding Guogong only has such a daughter, and he is very cautious about his daughter's marriage, "I'll inquire again. Let's let Xiao Wuduo get along with Mr. Chu, and maybe we can ask more about the situation. Although we I don't expect Zhilan to get married, but if I want to marry someone, the other party's family background can't be too bad."

Jing Yi didn't know what was going on in Dingguo's mansion. She and Xiao Yilin were looking at the gift from Lu's family.

This time, Dingguo's mansion really sent a lot of gifts, including top-quality jade pendants, ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and high-end fabrics and so on.

Xiao Yilin looked at these gifts and said: "This time, the gift from Dingguo's mansion is really sincere, which shows that they really want to thank you. Dingguo is a good person, and he maintains a neutral position in the court. He doesn't cater to anyone. Follow the emperor.

Dingguo's mansion has a good family tradition, and the children in the family are also very good, so they can be regarded as a family that can be associated with. "

Jing Yi didn't pay much attention to these gifts, she said, "Brother Xiao, will Duke Ding bring his family to Prince Jing's mansion this time, will it bring you any bad influence?"

Xiao Yilin shook his head and said: "It's okay, don't worry, it doesn't matter what others think, as long as my father knows what's going on. I think Duke Ding will definitely explain the situation to father."

Jing Yi thought well, Duke Ding took his family to Prince Jing's Mansion, which immediately caused quite a stir in the capital.

One must know that Duke Ding did not have any private dealings with any princes before, but this time he went to Prince Jing's mansion so blatantly. Did Duke Ding have any new ideas? Could it be that he wanted to seek refuge with Prince Jing?

There are also some people who know the real situation and know that Duke Ding is there to thank him.

Duke Ding also asked people to spread the news, they just went to thank Mr. Chu who saved his daughter, and Mr. Chu happened to be a guest of Prince Jing's residence and lived in Prince Jing's residence.That's why they went to Prince Jing's mansion.This has nothing to do with Prince Jing's mansion itself.

Ding Guogong was also afraid that others would spread rumors, and he was also afraid that the emperor would misunderstand him.

But he also has some thoughts in his heart that others don't know.In his opinion, Prince Jing will probably be the heir to the throne in the future, and it is not a bad thing for him to have some contacts with Prince Jing now.
