Aunt Qing had her own wishful thinking.

Naturally, Mrs. Meng didn't know what was going on. When she went in to visit Su Yiqing, she kept saying congratulations.

Compared to Mrs. Meng's excitement, Su Yiqing's performance was relatively dull, half lying on the beauty's couch, a little lazy.

"Fu'er, you are truly blessed. Now all the hardships have come to an end." Mrs. Meng first rambled on about some precautions about preserving the fetus, and finally couldn't help but say in an envious tone.

Su Yiqing smiled and did not answer.

Mrs. Meng added: "You don't know, as soon as this news came out, even the threshold of our Meng family was about to be broken. How many people came to congratulate us. Those who didn't know the scene thought your father had been promoted."

"Then mother doesn't stay at home to greet the guests?" Su Yiqing asked casually. It was not sarcastic, but seeing that Mrs. Meng had said so much, it was not good for her to remain silent.

"Since your sister Yan is here, it's time for her to exercise more." Mrs. Meng said with some hesitation, "A few days ago, someone proposed marriage to your sister Yan again. It was a marriage proposal from other places, with the surname Zhou.

He belongs to a local prominent family with a good family tradition. There are many people in his family, but the family is simple. His father is also a civil servant, but he has not been an official. He runs a school in the countryside. His mother is also a lady from a scholarly family. He ranks second and has a child.

My brother was a Jinshi ten years ago and is now an official in another place. His wife also went to work with him in other places. I have seen that young man and he is very good."

"Why do you want to marry Sister Yan when you are a child from other places?" Su Yiqing asked the most important thing, the motive of asking for marriage. Is it because there is such an in-law in the Meng family? One thing she found strange was why so many people asked to marry Meng Yan.

Are most of them readers?

Mentioning the reason, Mrs. Meng felt a little embarrassed and signaled the maids on the left and right to step back. Then she lowered her voice and said, "Actually, it's not that I'm attracted to you, Sister Yan, but it's your Sister Yan that's attracted to me."

Halfway through, Mrs. Meng secretly glanced at Su Yiqing's face and saw that she did not show any disgust or displeasure. Then she continued: "Your sister Yan was on her way to offer incense. She passed by a mountain road and met that Juren. At that time, there was a

The woodcutter who was cutting firewood got his wheelbarrow stuck in the mud and couldn't push it out. He begged many passers-by, but no one helped him. It was the scholar who looked frail who put his book bag aside and helped the woodcutter push the wheelbarrow up.

At that time, your sister Yan was sitting in the carriage and saw him. Of course, the judge did not see her. Later, your sister Yan went to the Quan family for a banquet and met him again at the door. At that time, she paid attention and made some inquiries, and then she found out that

Juzi is a distant relative of Mrs. Quan’s fourth wife. He is living in the Quan family. He is waiting to take the exam next year... Your sister Yan was a little moved when she heard that he was not married yet... Now your sister Yan’s marriage is difficult.

If there is no suitable one, I'm afraid it will be worse if you delay it any longer. Since your sister Yan likes it, Zhou Juren's conditions are also good. I asked your fourth aunt Quan, and she criticized Zhou Juren. Zhou Juren said that all matters concerning marriage should be decided by his parents.

, your fourth aunt sent someone to inquire about the Zhou family again, and the Zhou family is also willing to get married."

That was the family that the Meng family had their eyes on first, not that they wanted to marry her. Mrs. Meng said that she was asking for her opinion, but judging from the current situation, it was almost confirmed. Su Yiqing didn't have any ideas. She felt that Mrs. Meng would do this.

It's reasonable, considering that Mrs. Meng's discussions with her several times before had no good results. Meng Yan will become an old girl if she delays it any longer, so she simply won't go through her this time. Anyway, the Zhou family's family is lower and there is no dispute with the court.

What a tangle.

Su Yiqing didn't have much thought about this at this time. After thinking about it for a moment, this marriage was indeed a good one. Meng Yan was probably frightened by the things about a powerful family, so she wanted to find someone with a simpler family background and good character to marry.

, she happened to meet such a kind-hearted scholar, and naturally her heart fell in love. Anyway, it was better for her to choose it herself than to marry blindly and dumbly. Unless the Zhou family's family background was crazy, even if they didn't have an in-law like Dingwangfu,

I don’t dare to treat Meng Yan badly.

Meng Yan liked it herself, and Mrs. Meng also agreed. If Su Yiqing had anything else to say, she naturally smiled and said: "That is a perfect match sent by God. Congratulations to Sister Yan."

Mrs. Meng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that the princess's daughter would object. She would not know how to explain it to her biological daughter when she went home later. Now that she didn't object, what else was there to say? She would go back and let the other party formally propose marriage, and then get off.

Just wait until you marry your daughter again. Although he was happy, he said with some worry: "But the Zhou family's family background is a bit low, I'm afraid your father will not be very happy."

Su Yiqing comforted, "Father is not an unreasonable person. I will persuade him carefully later and he will not object."

"That's not necessarily the case." Mrs. Meng said this and let out a long sigh, "I won't hide it from you. As soon as he heard that you were pregnant, your father was so proud... If a powerful person came to propose marriage, he would

I'm afraid he might have another idea."

"If mother has found out everything and Sister Yan is willing to marry, let the prince go and talk to father. I believe that father will listen to what the prince says." Su Yiqing didn't think Meng was a trouble, so she asked Lian Yufeng to speak.

He didn't dare not listen, and at most he could offer some benefits. Lian Yufeng was very good at this kind of thing.

"Fu'er... thank you so much." Mrs. Meng held Su Yiqing's hand sincerely. Thinking of it, it was really like a dream. If it weren't for this concubine, not only would she not be able to wake up from this dream,

It might even turn into a nightmare.

"I didn't do anything." Su Yiqing did not take any credit and gently pulled out her hand, "This marriage was chosen by Sister Yan herself. As long as she is happy."

Mrs. Meng nodded. Two years ago, she would have looked down on the Zhou family. But now that she thinks about it, an ordinary family like the Zhou family is not bad. At least they don't have to worry about it all day long.

Su Yiqing said: "Sister Yan is also a sensible person. I think she will definitely be happy."

"By your auspicious words, Fu'er, you are a lucky person. If I say so, your sister Yan will definitely live a good life." Mrs. Meng seemed to be convincing herself.

Su Yiqing knew that Mrs. Meng was actually a little worried. After all, once the Zhou family was from outside the country, once they married, their natal family would not be able to take care of them all the time. Maybe their daughter would be wronged, so she thought about it, "If we get married earlier, what will happen to Zhou Juren after they get married?"

If you can pass the exam, it will be easier whether you work in a certain place in the city or work abroad. If you work in a city, your mother can take care of you at all times. If you work outside, the couple who are not familiar with each other will work together, and they will definitely be able to live a good life.

"

"That's true, I don't know if Zhou Juren can pass the exam." Mrs. Meng looked at Su Yiqing worriedly.

Su Yiqing didn't answer this time. In fact, with Lian Yufeng's current power, as long as Zhou Juren's knowledge was moderate, there would be no reason to fail the exam, but she didn't want to help him anymore.

According to her, since Meng Yan has chosen such a person, he is willing to live an ordinary life. It is just a matter of passing the Zhou Juren exam. If he fails the exam, he is already a Juren. He will return to his hometown to inherit his father's business, open a library and teach apprentices.

Simple days are not a bad thing.

I don’t know what the Zhou family was thinking. After the Meng family revealed a little bit, the Zhou family immediately agreed to the marriage and immediately came to propose marriage. This shows that this family may not be very noble and must have some agenda.

Meng Yan met Zhou Juren and had a good impression of him because of his good deeds. She always felt that such superficial judgments could not truly judge a person's character. However, when she thought about it, she felt that her worries were unfounded. Not all men in the world may be the same.

A person who is good at pretending, she always thinks the worst of people and picks and chooses them. The person she met in the end was really not that good in terms of character.

It's not as good as Meng Yan, relying on a one-time relationship, at least one she likes, and one she is willing to choose, and is willing to do it right or wrong. After marrying, she will give birth to a boy and a girl, and the daughter-in-law will become a mother-in-law after many years, not to mention that she will have two temples.

If you are grey, if you reach Mrs. Meng's age, those love affairs are probably not that important anymore.

…

A few days later, the news that Princess Ding was pregnant spread throughout the city.

People involved with the palace had mixed reactions.

At Guojun Prince's Mansion, Old Concubine Xue smiled and said to her niece-in-law, Mrs. Li: "Let me just say that Princess Ding is not a simple person. If she is pregnant this time and gives birth to a boy and a half girl, who can shake her?"

Location?"

Mrs. Li repeatedly admired her aunt's foresight and asked her to make friends with Montessori from the very beginning. Otherwise, if she had to wait for her to become pregnant and give birth to a legitimate son, how could she still talk to her? No one expected to get any benefits, but

This is how the relationship between the female relatives of a powerful family is like. If you can make friends with one or two high-status people who come to each other's house for tea from time to time, and hold a flower-viewing banquet and be rewarded by others, it will be enough to improve your status in the family. No one dares to bully you easily.

Just like Mrs. Xue, although her son is not her biological son, who dares to offend her? She has good friends with many noble ladies and even the queen mother and concubines in the palace.

The old lady who is supported by her son is strong. If she is not comfortable, it must be someone else's fault.

Old Concubine Xue did not show kindness to everyone she met. Instead, she saw the right opportunity, offered help in times of need, and helped others when it was convenient. Those who were thoughtful would naturally remember her kindness. She had made good friends with Princess Ding before, but Princess Ding was slow to do so.

After slowly settling into this position, she naturally reciprocated. Princess Ding did not attend most of the banquets in Beppu, but Princess Ding came to the birthday banquet of Mrs. Xue.

Coincidentally, we also caught up with the scene where County Master Xiuwen fell and was injured. Although Princess Ding didn't say anything, she could see that County Master Xiuwen was running wildly by herself at someone else's house. Whether he was pushed by others or fell by himself,

In short, it has little to do with them, Prince Guo's Mansion. Princess Ding knows this well. As long as she goes back and tells Prince Ding, it may reach the ears of the Emperor, and the responsibility in their mansion will be smaller. If she can be excused again
