1274, high climb
Miss Xiao San returned to the Xiao family. Although she did not deliberately promote it, there were many people who heard the news, especially the daughters who were not sure about the matter. They couldn't help but pay special attention to this matter. After several times of searching for the news, they found nothing. I don't know if the Xiao family deliberately concealed it, and no one found out what was inside. So someone speculated that Miss Xiao San did something shameless and was expelled. The Xiao family thought it was embarrassing, so they kept silent.
At this moment, Mrs. Yue from Duke Su's mansion accidentally leaked her mouth after drinking. The Xiao family and the Zheng family were discussing marriage, but she personally came forward to match it up and promoted Xiao Jiayi's speech in front of Xu Shu, which immediately caused an uproar!
What shocked people was not that the Xiao family wanted to discuss the marriage with the Zheng family, but that those women who had clearly followed the emperor for many years, although they were nameless, but now they were abandoned so ruthlessly. Years of youth have been delayed. It was really too much. But when Xiao Jiayi was energetic and visited relatives and friends, there was no aura of a resentful woman who was abandoned. He couldn't help but wonder and became even more curious about the inside story. Therefore, although someone was discussing this privately for a while, it was hindering the emperor and did not cause much turmoil.
As the Empress Dowager said, if the Xiao family wanted to marry the Zheng family, they would definitely be in charge of Xu Shu. As expected, the Zheng family asked Mrs. Zheng Si to come to the palace to ask Xu Shu for her opinion.
The Xiao family asked Mrs. Yue to come to the house, and only mentioned it in a vague way. According to her opinion, the Xiao family probably fell in love with Brother Jun. However, the old lady felt that the Xiao family was not very prominent and had no connection with the Deng family. Now there are not many children in the Zheng family who have not yet settled down. If you want to pick it carefully, you will go there vaguely!
Although Mrs. Yue only mentioned it in a vague way in the Zheng family, she said it was revealed outside, which made it known to everyone. Although Mr. Zheng Qi was a man and could not ruin his name, she thought that Mrs. Yue said that it was not necessarily the instruction of the Xiao family, and wanted to use this to force the Zheng family to agree to this marriage, Mrs. Zheng Si still felt very unhappy.
Xu Shu was unexpectedly surprised that the Xiao family would go to the Zheng family to propose marriage. First, it was because the two families had never had much contact, and second, although the Xiao family always followed the Deng family, it was because the Xiao family benefited from the Deng family in the early years, and the Xiao family refused. However, the Xiao family was a senior scholar and claimed to have the character of a literati. It was the most despised of the act of gaining power and attaching importance to the nobles. Now he has done such a thing? Did he suddenly figured it out or was there any expert guidance?
My mother came to ask me if I wanted to know if there was any interest here?
Mrs. Zheng Nodded. Although the Xiao family is a little worse than the Zheng family, the Xiao family has a close relationship with the Deng family. The Deng family is now quite revived, so it is better to act carefully! And the third lady in the Xiao family is also a little confused after all.
Mrs. Zheng Si's statement was vague. Although the Xiao family's explanation of Miss Xiao San's return home was very reasonable and well-founded, this did not conform to the world's long-standing perception and was really difficult to accept. Mrs. Zheng Si also found it strange, but because it involved the emperor of the Nine Five, he could not say much.
Did the Xiao family want to tell Miss Xiao San to Brother Qi? Xu Shu was surprised. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be Xiao Jiayi's! Since Xiao Jiayi came to her to ask for it, she must have a result with Zhuang Li. How could she turn around and go to Zheng's family? Xiao Jiayi should be eager to avoid suspicion from her.
Mrs. Zheng Si was stunned for a moment, no! It was Miss Xiao Liu!
This time it was Xu Shu's turn to be stunned. After thinking for a moment, she realized that she had a wrong idea. Mrs. Zheng Si mentioned that Miss Xiao San just wanted to know if it was related to Miss Xiao San's return home and the Xiao family went to the Zheng family to propose marriage. Moreover, the Zheng family is a high marriage to the Xiao family. Such a good thing Mrs. Xiao should be her biological daughter!
Does that mother like Miss Xiao Liu?
Although Miss Xiao Liu was a little more coquettish and had friction with her, seeing that her nature was not bad, Xu Shu asked this question.
Mrs. Zheng Si thought about it and said that it was still impossible to like it or not! The Xiao family is also a noble family, and the children's upbringing will not be bad. I have seen Miss Xiao Liu, and although it is not outstanding, it is still pretty good! But Miss Xiao San's past experience is there. If the Zheng family gets married to the Xiao family at this time, it will inevitably make people feel that the Zheng family is just compensating the Xiao family. This is very unfavorable to the Empress's reputation!
Xu Shu smiled, mom was too worried. It would be okay if mom likes Miss Xiao Liu. After all, the Xiao family has made this decision, so there will be more people coming to the door next!
Mrs. Zheng Si smiled and said, "It's good if there are too many!" I can also carefully choose a good one! The implication is that I don't want to decide Miss Xiao Liu."
Xu Shu suddenly understood that since my mother had plans, she would do it just because she had delayed the marriage of Brother Six. Don’t implicate Brother Seven again because of me!
What is the Queen saying? Without Queen, there would be no Zheng family today!
This is what I should do. Without the identity of the Zheng family, she would not be able to sit in the position of queen and stay with Zhou Jin.
What the Empress should do is take good care of herself. Good Empress, the Zheng family will be fine!
Xu Shu smiled slightly. Today the emperor is going to give a banquet to King Ji. Is it okay for my mother to stay with me for lunch?
Looking at Xu Shu's eyes, Mrs. Zheng Si nodded, OK!
After lunch, Mrs. Zheng Si was about to go back when suddenly someone from Kunning Palace invited her. The person who came was Ruoshu. The servants greeted the Empress. The Empress Dowager gave her a reward to Mrs. Zheng, and asked the Fourth Lady to take her back together!
Mrs. Zheng Si hurriedly followed her, but Xu Shu stopped seeing her. When she returned to the house and sat down, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Huh?
Empress, what's wrong? I thought Xu Shu was feeling unwell, so Lu He hurriedly wanted to go up to check it out.
I'm fine! Xu Shu waved her hand and asked Lu He, is there anything abnormal about Kunning Palace recently?
Lu He shook his head, as before, nothing unusual!
That was strange! Xu Shu whispered in thought. The last time when my mother entered the palace, the empress dowager gave her a reward to the old lady. She directly sent it to Qifeng Palace, but this time she called her mother over!
Could it be that Empress Dowager Chun'an had something to hide from the Empress? Luhe hesitated.
Xu Shu didn't find it strange that Empress Dowager Chun'an had something to hide from her, but Empress Dowager Chun'an should know that her relationship with Mrs. Zheng Si is closer than her mother and daughter. If there is really something to hide from her, she should also be hiding it from Mrs. Zheng Si.
