History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 144

Lin Lang was very disappointed by the result of the bet—on the way back to the He Mansion, Lin Lang checked Qin Shi's tone, only to find out that Qin Shi had already nodded.Of course, this does not mean that the Qin family has made a decision, it just means that He Wenzhan and his wife are quite satisfied with this. Later, the He family will invite someone to come to talk about it, and the old lady and the old lady will agree, and the matter will be sure.

Lin Lang was quite frustrated when he heard this, imagining Xu Langzhi's complacent appearance now, only felt his teeth itch.The matter of engagement is settled, and he can use it to win many letters from her. Now his tail is definitely going to the sky!

The Xu family acted very quickly, and on the third day they invited a matchmaker to come to their door to talk about a match.Because Xu Fengxian was in Mobei, Mrs. Xu even brought Xu Lang here in person.

Things went very smoothly, the He and Xu families were family friends, and Xu Lang used to come to He's house often, and the old man even allowed him to enter his library alone, which shows his love for him.The two old men had no objection to Xu Lang, but Mrs. He was well-informed and had already heard about the crown prince's choice of concubine, and now that He Wenhan was the crown prince's grand teacher, the old man had some hopes for the selection of concubine.

Of course, he would not ask Lin Lang directly about such matters, but called He Wenzhan and Qin Shi to the study, and said straight to the point: "You should also know about the emperor's plan to choose a concubine for the crown prince." Seeing that there was no surprise on the couple's faces He continued, "The Xu family is here to propose marriage at this time, what do you think?"

He Wenzhan said: "Xu Lang is a valuable character, and our two families are family friends, and my son has no objection to this marriage."

"Where is the crown prince?" Of course, the old man would not allow him to be vague. "With the appearance and talent of the six girls, even if you may not be able to choose the crown princess, it is no problem to be a side concubine." He Wenhan is now very important to the emperor, and He Wenzhan is very popular Favored, with Lin Lang's outstanding appearance, if the He family intends to run for the election, the chances are still great.The emperor doesn't have many heirs, and the crown prince's position in the East Palace is very stable. If he chooses a side concubine, the crown prince's position will be extraordinary in the future.

Old Mrs. He has been a politician all his life, and he has never had any royal relatives in his family. He Xuanji is already married, so he has some hopes for Lin Lang.The eyes flickered, observing the expressions of the couple.

He Wenzhan didn't know the virtue of the prince in the East Palace. The emperor's father was a carpenter, and the prince was obsessed with teasing crickets. Although the prince's tutor, prince's tutor, and others taught him carefully, how could he change his temper?I'm afraid He Wenhan's hair is graying because of worry, this gentleman may not be able to put his mind on serious things.

Leaving aside his royal status, He Wenzhan looked down on the prince very much.

Xu Lang is different, he is stable and generous, and capable and experienced, not much worse than He Weijie, who is four years older than him.He Wenzhan was satisfied with his character, and with his care for Lin Lang, he felt that Xu Lang had dumped the crown prince by a million miles, and immediately said: "Ling Dang'er has been spoiled since she was a child, and she is used to being loose, not to mention she is not in good health. , and not as stable as the big girl, the son thought, it would be better to choose a suitable person to marry."

Old Master He looked at Qin Shi, with a glimmer of hope remaining in his eyes.But where is the Qin family who is greedy for glory?
My own daughter is spoiled and doted on at home, how has she ever been wronged?If she entered the royal family, even the crown prince and concubine might not be able to live comfortably, let alone the side concubine.Immediately nodded and said: "I think so too. Ling Dang'er is bland and lively, so it's really not suitable for her to marry into the royal family."

Both his husband and wife have said so, what else can Mrs. He do?Immediately stop talking, and agreed to this marriage.

But now that Lin Lang is only eleven, she has to wait at least a few years to get married, and Xu Lang still has to wait.Mrs. He is still very partial to this granddaughter. Now that the Xu family has been settled, he called Xu Lang to him and asked another call. It was nothing more than that Lin Lang was still young, and whether Xu Lang could wait for the next few years. language.

Xu Lang was already overjoyed that the He family could agree, so why would he care about these things, so he confessed again immediately.

In this way, the two families made an engagement first after calculating the horoscope, and only waited for Lin Lang to get married when he grew up.

Lin Lang was quite surprised that the elders in the family were so satisfied with Xu Lang, but she felt more at ease after all.In her previous life, she married into the Zhu family by mistake, which was more or less due to her own ignorance. The elders in the family are guarding her, so there should be no worries.

Mrs. Xu was as resolute as Xu Lang. Seeing that the He family agreed, she immediately sent a generous gift, and gave Lin Lang a pair of bracelets on her wrist.But now that Linlang's body has not yet grown, and her wrist is slender, the bracelet can't hold it, so she can only put it away in a brocade box for future use.

In addition to Mrs. Xu's generous gift, Xu Lang also gave another important gift - because he was afraid that Lin Lang would encounter accidents when he went to Tianlin Peak, Xu Lang specially gave Lin Lang two hidden guards named Qifeng and Jiuyao.Both of them were trained by the Xu family army, Jiu Yao was better than Cui Shisan, Qifeng was a woman, but she was agile and quick-witted, she was no worse than Cui Shisan.

The He family was deeply surprised by this.In the past, I only heard of sending maids, or literati Fengya sending beautiful concubines, but never heard of anyone sending secret guards, let alone such two people with great skills.

Xu Lang felt that it should be so, and seeing that He Wenzhan refused, he told about the robbers he encountered when he was in the south of the Yangtze River, and said: "Tianlin Peak is outside the city after all, even if there are no bandits in the capital, if you meet some robbers on the road Sixth Sister may not be able to deal with bad people. Jiuyao and Qifeng are capable people, with them, Sixth Sister will be safe even if she goes to Tianlin Peak every day."

"Mingzhi is more thoughtful than we thought." He Wenzhan looked at him, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, Xu Lang was honest and innocent.Of course his future daughter-in-law has to be considerate and considerate in everything!If he had to go to Mobei for the past six months and couldn't take care of Lin Lang, such a beautiful little girl, if any accident happened to him, he would regret it to death!
After all, He Wenzhan was also afraid of Linlang's accident, so he no longer refused.

The people living in the He residence are all literati, except for Jinxiu, there are not many people who know kung fu.Jiuyao and Qifeng are both secret guards, and their temperaments are completely different, and they are out of place when walking in the mansion.The Qin family was thinking about how to arrange them. Who knew that after Xu Lang brought them to meet Lin Lang, the two disappeared!
Qin Shi had never dealt with such a person before, so she couldn't help but ask Mrs. Xu.That person has long been used to this kind of thing, and said with a smile: "As the name suggests, the secret guard is a guard who hides in the dark, so of course he rarely shows up. The two of them will make arrangements for themselves. My sister can just rest assured."

"This..." Mrs. Qin mused, always feeling a bit impolite for leaving two living people alone and ignoring them.
