The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Zuo Xiangning stood up and looked at Jiang, who nodded to comfort me.

Zuo Xiangning's face turned slightly red. She walked out of the room and saw Zuo Zixi coming in from outside the hospital.

"Brother, grandma wants to discuss the marriage with mother and you..." Zuo Xiangning said worriedly.

"I understand, you don't have to worry." Zuo Zixi reassured her and entered the room.

Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Zuo Zixi and said, "Zixi, what do you think we should do about this matter? The queen didn't even send us any news about such a big matter in advance. Do you think it's because the queen didn't know or for some other reason? ?”

"The Queen didn't send any news, so there are only two possibilities. One is that the Emperor decided the matter and no one else can change it. The other possibility is that the Queen thinks that Marquis Jingyuan is a good match." Zuo Zixi solemnly said He said: "My uncle and I have spent some time together with Marquis Jingyuan. In fact, Marquis Jingyuan is not as good as the outside world says."

Mrs. Jiang looked at Mr. Jiang, who had been silent, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Mrs. Jiang poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Jiang, "I don't know much about Marquis Jingyuan, but now that the imperial edict has been issued, it may be difficult to change this marriage."

Mrs. Jiang's anxious mood suddenly calmed down.

The three of them were silent for a moment, and then Zuo Zixi said, "I'll go talk to Marquis Jingyuan later and ask him what he means."

"That's fine." Mrs. Jiang looked at Mrs. Jiang and said, "Then let's make plans."

When Jiang and Zuo Zixi left the courtyard where the old lady lived, Jiang said in a low voice: "I was so nervous just now. I was afraid that your grandmother would not agree. What do you think I should do?"

"Are you afraid that grandma will be angry because of Ruochen's cousin?" Zuo Zixi asked in a low voice.

"I didn't explicitly reject your grandmother's intention at the beginning, and now the emperor suddenly offers Xiang Ning a hand in marriage. I'm afraid your grandmother thinks that we all knew the news in advance and just regarded Ruochen as a backup." Jiang said sadly: "Now We can only blame the emperor and Marquis Jingyuan for this marriage."

"It is true that the emperor's order is difficult, and we have no other choice." Zuo Zixi said in a low voice.

Jiang nodded, "Then are you still looking for Marquis Jingyuan?"

"I'm going to take a trip and ask him what he plans to do with the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion." Zuo Zixi said, "I'll be back in a moment."

"You must control your temper and don't conflict with him or embarrass your sister." Jiang warned.

Zuo Zixi sent Jiang back to Fanghuayuan, then left the house and went to Jingyuan Houfu.

When Mr. Jiang came back from the antique market and learned about the emperor's imperial edict, he thought about it and said: "The queen is in the palace, so it's impossible that she doesn't know about the marriage. Even the queen has no way to tell Wanru and Zixi not to do it." If you have any more objections, the matter is a foregone conclusion, so hurry up and prepare the dowry for the fourth girl."

Mrs. Jiang said solemnly: "The fourth girl is so beautiful, and that Marquis Jingyuan is also a lecher."

"Jingyuan Marquis must be extraordinary, otherwise, the Supreme Emperor would not have made so many plans for him." Mr. Jiang said: "If the fourth girl marries Jingyuan Marquis, our Jiang family will be rich. A strong in-law, whether it is the Yu Zuo family, the Jiang family, or the queen and the young prince, is a good thing." "It also depends on whether the fourth girl has the ability and whether she can subjugate him." Jiang The old lady said worriedly: "The four girls are like a piece of dough, they are afraid that they will be given over to others."

"People cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured." Mr. Jiang said: "Although Fourth Girl has a good temper, she is not stupid. Marquis Jingyuan's arrogant and domineering temper may have to be controlled by Fourth Girl."

Mrs. Jiang didn't speak anymore, but she always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"Don't keep a calm face all the time. It's a good thing for you that your granddaughter marries well, and it's also a good thing for Ruochen. You have to find a way to appease Wanru and Xiangning and don't let them go to the queen again. What happened?" Mr. Jiang said seriously: "The new emperor has ascended the throne. The queen's foundation is not deep. Zuo Yian is ill now. The eldest son of our family has also been dismissed and returned to his field. Now we have several juniors who are officials in the court. , they don’t have the right to speak, and they are not enough to support the family, so Wanru found the Min family. I think it is good. At least Zixi’s position is stable. Now Xiangning has found Marquis Jingyuan again, and Marquis Jingyuan is very interested in it. The new emperor has the merit of following the dragon, which can at least ensure the stability of the Zuo family and the Jiang family within five years. In a few years, when our third child and Zixi, as well as Ruochen and Zimo all have merit, then we will truly have nothing to lose. A time of peace of mind.”

After hearing what Mr. Jiang said, Mrs. Jiang felt awe-struck and did not dare to have any other thoughts. She quickly got dressed and went to Jiang's yard. She talked to Jiang about her affection and explained the power of it in a rational and emotional way. Because of the relationship, Jiang was advised to light some incense and not go into the palace to find the Queen.

Jiang was secretly relieved and nodded in agreement.

Zuo Zixi came back at noon and said in front of the old man and the old lady of the Jiang family: "Jingyuan Marquis has made great achievements in going north this time. The emperor asked him what reward he wanted. Jingyuan Marquis said he only had one wish, which was to invite the emperor to come down. I wish you to get married, and I hope the wedding date will be as soon as possible."

"This wedding has fixed rules. It will take a year and a half for the three matchmakers and the six betrothals to come down. No matter how close the wedding date is, it will be at the end of this year or the beginning of next year." Jiang said.

"I told Marquis Jingyuan the same thing, but Marquis Jingyuan said that he wanted to set the wedding date at the end of March." Zuo Zixi wondered: "Marquis Jingyuan may be preparing to go on an expedition in May, and the Marquis Mansion lacks personnel. master."

Jiang's face darkened.

Mrs. Jiang looked at Mr. Jiang.

"I think we'd better take a look at this matter before we talk about it." Mr. Jiang said, "We'll discuss it in detail when the matchmaker comes. If Marquis Jingyuan really has some unavoidable reasons, then if we agree to the marriage, It’s better to just comply with Marquis Jingyuan’s wishes, so as not to make things difficult for Xiang Ning after she gets married.”

"I think the old man is right. In the final analysis, marriage is a good marriage between two people. Don't hurt the harmony first because of some trivial things. In the end, isn't it our own children who will suffer?" Old Mrs. Jiang also said .

"Then March was too anxious." Jiang was still dissatisfied, "Other people saw that Xiang Ning married so hastily, so they thought our family didn't value her."

Mrs. Jiang looked at Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang glanced at the silent Zuo Zixi, then looked at Jiang, and said with a smile: "Don't rush this matter, let's take a look and talk about it later. Marquis Jingyuan asked for marriage from the emperor, and it was he who asked us to marry him, so let's What’s there to be anxious about?”

Mrs. Jiang also smiled and said, "Isn't it? It's him, Marquis Jingyuan, who should be the most anxious."

Zuo Zixi stood up and said, "I'm going to see Xiang Ning."

"Go ahead, go and persuade Xiang Ning to say a few good words for Marquis Jingyuan." Mrs. Jiang said: "Although Marquis Jingyuan had a bad temper before, he is much more stable now, and he runs the mansion alone. , Xiang Ning will marry Mrs. Hou, which is something that others can’t envy."

Zuo Zixi agreed with a smile and went to Xianglan Zhai. After all the girls left, he said to Zuo Xiangning: "I just went to see Marquis Jingyuan, and he said he wanted to get married in March."
