Chapter 345 Tell the Truth

Don't mention Chu Rui bought the yard, just talk about Lilac.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and all the shops on the street were closed, and the closing cannons rang non-stop in the afternoon, which was festive.

Every family closed their doors and closed their households, and they were busy posting couplets at home, making dumplings, fried rice cakes, and making meatballs.Especially women, they can't wait to leave the kitchen all day, because they don't have to do too much work during the first month, and they only need to greet guests and cook easily.

The steamed buns are all steamed in advance, and a lot of meat and fish, including chicken and duck, are also prepared in advance; guests come and sit and talk, and when it’s meal time, the women work together, but only half an hour, a table of meals is enough Done.

Ding Xiang's house is simple, with few guests.How can a countryman who has just been here for half a year have relatives!It's just a few households that need to give gifts, and Ding Xiang has gone there with her big head.

Therefore, when the New Year's Eve arrives, everyone celebrates the New Year at home without visiting.A guest is Chu Rui, who is here to give a New Year's gift!
It is nothing more than food and clothing, and the packaging looks more delicate. This is the difference between the palace and the merchants.There were also a few fresh fruits rewarded by the palace, which made Ding Laozhong's family extremely rare.

As for the palace, they had already sent someone to invite Chu Rui back, otherwise, the New Year's Eve palace banquet tonight would be a public scandal!

What are the rich and noble families afraid of?She was afraid that her family's ugliness would be publicized and her reputation would be bad, so the princess would rather deal with Ding Xiang and Chu Rui's affairs quietly afterwards, rather than allow Chu Rui to live in the Fuhui Building openly!
If you don't attend the emperor's banquet on New Year's Eve, you will have to face the emperor and the queen mother's accusations. At that time, the whole world will know about it. Once it spreads among the noble circles, Chu Rui's reputation will be ruined. Marry him as a concubine?

Chu Rui was sure that she wanted to cover her head, and after being hardened for a while, it really ended in victory.Of course, the condition for returning home is that he wants to marry Ding Xiang!

The prince and the concubine were very angry, but they still agreed to him, "Okay, okay, whoever the son likes, the parents will marry for you! However, the marriage of the son is a big deal, so you have to tell the queen mother and the emperor to know. Otherwise, you can secretly If you marry someone back home, the palace will blame us for not understanding the rules in the palace!"

The lord and the concubine had a good plan, they fooled the past Chinese New Year, and asked the queen mother to designate the marriage, when the time comes, will Ding Xiang have the power to recover?But it is a great favor to reward her as a side concubine!

Chu Rui naturally knew their plan, but he didn't reveal it.After tidying up happily, the family of four went into the palace.

The Empress Dowager liked Chu Rui's grandson very much, so she pulled her over to ask questions, because she got a suggestion from the Qi family in advance, so she naturally had to ask about Chu Rui's marriage.

"You boy, the boss is not young, tell the truth to the emperor's grandmother, how long will it be delayed? There are many daughters who came to the palace banquet today. If you choose one that suits you, the emperor's grandmother will propose marriage to you!"

After saluting, Chu Rui said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, the girl I like is not here, and she is not a daughter of a thousand gold. Let me tell you, if the grandmother can propose marriage to me, I will give you three kowtows!" "

The queen mother was taken aback, "You have a sweetheart? Tell me, what kind of girl is it? Since she's not here, she's not the daughter of a small family?"

Chu Rui nodded, "She's the daughter of a merchant!"
