Chapter 74 Fate
"Girl!" Forsythia was stamping her feet and getting angry. Aunt Cao also hurried over. She looked at Lin Wan with pity for a moment, sighed softly, stretched out her hand to take Lin Wan into her arms, and patted Lin Wan.
Wan's back whispered: "The Holy Father has granted marriage to Wang Jiawulang and Yuan Sanniang. It is true."
Lin Wan smiled bitterly and said "Yeah", buried her head on Aunt Cao's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I am not lucky to have people like Brother Wang Wu. Yuan Yan has a good temper, and is calm and generous. The two of them
It's just right to get together. Does mother know about this?"
Aunt Cao sighed with difficulty. "My wife just got the news, and her face is a little ugly. Now that we are about to get married... Miss, please go and persuade your wife."
When Mrs. Liu received the news that the Holy Emperor had granted marriage to the Wang family, she was stunned for a long time. She finally came back to her senses. She felt a sense of loss and was filled with melancholy. If a child as good as Wulang had been chosen earlier... But the master said it was too late.
It is not easy for a sister to get engaged early. Alas, the two children are not destined to be together.
Mrs. Liu was just thinking about what to say to Lin Wan in annoyance, but she saw Lin Wan'an walked into the room quietly without saying a word. She saved her arm first, as if she had been wronged as a child, and stopped talking.
.
"Okay, let's get up. The Wang family is very happy today. Let's just send the gifts we prepared as a congratulation." After a moment of silence, Ms. Liu took a breath, put a smile on her face, and pulled Lin Wan away.
He stood up and said with a smile, "Don't you always feel bored staying in the house? After giving the gift later, let's go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to stay for two days?"
Lin Wan gently held Liu's finger and nodded with a smile. "I listen to my mother." Seeing that the worry in Liu's eyes had not dissipated, Lin Wan leaned on Liu's arm and persuaded with a smile:
"Don't worry, mother, I'm fine. Previously, I thought about the great cause of the Wang family, but I'm so lazy, so I'm really afraid that I won't do it well. It's good now, anyway, I'm just old enough to have a hairpin, so it's not like no one wants me!"
"You're so open-minded!" Mrs. Liu scolded, gently caressing Lin Wan's cheek, and sighed secretly. She smiled and nodded. "You always have ideas. You have a hairpin in front of me, but there are some ladies.
The ladies are asking, I will take care of all the young people from each family later, you can see for yourself."
Lin Wan smiled and said hello, and the mother and daughter talked gently. No one mentioned the Wang family again. Aunt Cao and Aunt Wei looked at each other outside and sighed at the same time.
When Mrs. Feng heard the news in the main courtyard, she couldn't help but frowned. After thinking about it, she just sighed. People from the Wang family came again and again. She originally thought that now... forget it. The third-bedroom.
She doesn't need to worry about anything.
Mrs. Yang had been quiet for half a year. When she heard the news, she almost beat gongs and drums to show her good mood to everyone in the second room. Lin Min, on the other hand, stayed quietly in the room embroidering purses, with a trace of ridicule and pity in her eyes.
When the Wang family received the decree of marriage, several masters were stunned. The surprise on Old Master Wang's face just flashed over, and he talked to the eunuch in the chamber with a smile. Wang Chengren was stunned for a long time.
After a long time, he woke up and smiled and shook his head. The Yuan family is not bad, better than the Lin family. This is good. Wang Shuo accepted the imperial edict in a decent manner, with a very polite smile on his face, and thanked the eunuch who delivered the edict very respectfully.
, but the hand holding the imperial edict was slightly stronger, but his eyes were too calm.
The person who delivered the decree was sent away in a hurry, and the servants of the Wang family were all very happy. Yesterday, their young master ordered Tanhualang, and today it was an imperial decree to confer marriage. The king favored the Wang family so much, and the Wang family felt proud.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Wang Shuo from a distance, frowned and thought for a while, then waved her hand and sighed to Nanny Ruan beside her: "Go back."
Nanny Ruan listened carefully to her ears, nose and heart, lowered her head and followed quietly.
"Father, this is the imperial edict?" After receiving the order, everyone in the courtyard dispersed one by one. Wang Chengren glanced at his son and said hesitantly to Mrs. Wang.
"Take it to the ancestral hall first! I have something to tell you." Mrs. Wang waved her sleeves and gave a serious order. She walked over and patted Wang Shuo on the shoulder and said seriously, "Wu Lang is here too.
"
Wang Shuo's eyes were unimpressed, he nodded with a smile, and followed him with the imperial edict in his hands. Before he took two steps, he stumbled and fell to the ground together with the imperial edict.
Wang Chengren's eyes widened, he looked at his son who stumbled to the ground in disbelief, and looked at his father in confusion.
Mrs. Wang's face was tense, her eyes were clear and stern, and she stood motionless in front of her, staring at Wang Shuo as he got up from the ground, picked up the imperial edict, and bent down to apologize to the two elders.
He bowed, his movements were natural, his face was calm, as if he had never fallen just now.
This child is still too young! Mrs. Wang sighed secretly, glared at Wang Chengren again, and shouted: "What are you doing? Go to the ancestral hall first!"
After coming out of the ancestral hall, the three of them went to Mrs. Wang's study. Mrs. Wang leaned on the wicker chair, tapped her fingers on the table, and thought carefully. After being silent for half a quarter of an hour, she opened her eyes and stared sternly.
Wang Chengren asked: "Has the Holy Father spoken to you about this matter before?"
Wang Chengren's face was startled, his eyes evasive, and he gradually relaxed his shoulders under his father's increasingly stern gaze. He glanced at his son again and said hesitantly: "After the palace examination, the Holy Father asked, my son thought it was Wu Lang's article.
That’s great, I didn’t expect that…”
"What didn't you expect? Did you not expect it or didn't you want to say it?" Old Mrs. Wang was furious, his beard trembling, pointing at Wang Chengren, and he was so angry that he didn't know what to say. "Have you lost your mind?"
Wang Chengren hurriedly lowered his head and stepped forward to admit his mistake: "Father, please calm down. My son has realized his mistake. It's just that this marriage is suitable for the Yuan family."
Mrs. Wang stroked her chest and took a few deep breaths, gradually calming down her anger. She looked tired and fell back on the chair again, closing her eyes and saying nothing.
The study room was extremely quiet for a moment. Wang Shuo stood behind Wang Chengren with his hands down, a smile always hanging on his lips, but his fingers in his sleeves were clenched tightly, feeling cold from head to toe.
"The marriage granted by the Holy Spirit is both a blessing and a fear to the Wang family!" After a long time, Mrs. Wang sighed vaguely, stood up from the chair, pointed at Wang Chengren and lectured: "The Chen family just revealed their love a few years ago.
I said that I wanted to get married, but the Holy One immediately granted the marriage. Do you think that the Holy One had no idea? Thank you for being an official for so many years. The more you live, the more you go back, and you don’t even wink! You go back and think about it for yourself.
!I am getting old, and the Wang family will eventually be handed over to you. Think about how you can live up to your ancestors! Get out."
Wang Chengren agreed and exited the room.
Only then did Mrs. Wang turn her gaze to Wang Shuo and sighed, with a gentle voice filled with helplessness. "That girl from the Lin family is almost destined to be destined... Grandfather understands what you are thinking. But now, you have to accept it well."
You have met the three girls of the Yuan family several times. The Yuan family is noble and the population is simple. Yuan Congshan is calm and sophisticated in his work, and is highly valued by the emperor. But he is very low-key. Teacher Yuan Congqi is dull and a typical scholar. Such a family, so
It’s also a good choice for the Wang family. In the end, the Holy One still has good intentions towards the Wang family.”
"My grandson understands." Wang Shuo nodded unusually calmly, with no trace of dissatisfaction on his face. His tone was also very calm. "My grandson will send someone to the Lin family this afternoon to explain everything clearly."
Old Mrs. Wang opened his mouth, but he just patted Wang Shuo's clenched hands, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and sighed softly: "Grandpa told you earlier, to be the leader of a clan, you must be able to rely on
There are too few things you can do with your own mind. The Wang family will have to leave it to you in the future. You must learn to restrain your emotions and restrain your thoughts that you shouldn't have."
Wang Shuo nodded silently.
In the palace of Prince Xining, Prince Xining listened to the report of longevity in the palace with a smile. At the end, he burst into laughter and went to the inner courtyard to find Princess Wei in a good mood.
Princess Wei looked at the proud look on King Xining's face with a strange expression, and asked doubtfully: "What good things happened today? Your Majesty is so smiling..."
King Xining chuckled twice, and stretched out his hand to pull Princess Wei very naturally. The couple walked quietly in the yard. The girl outside saw this and stepped away knowingly.
Princess Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She spat at King Xining and cursed her, but the smile on her face spread and she let King Xining pull her.
"Hey, we haven't walked like this in many years." King Xining suddenly sighed, and before anyone could recover, he changed his face to an excited expression and smiled at Princess Wei, "Don't you always miss me?
The marriage of that bastard? I have already chosen the person, it is the girl from the Lin family of Chong'an Marquis Mansion, the one you were talking about before."
Princess Wei was surprised, frowned and said with a smile: "That girl is favored by the Wang family..."
"What a fool! The Wang family just got the imperial edict granting marriage this morning!" King Xining's voice was slightly raised, with a hint of a smile.
Princess Wei was really shocked this time. She had been busy preparing a dowry for her daughter these past few days, and had not paid much attention to the Wang family. Who would have expected that she would suddenly hear such news! She originally thought that Sister Wei was going to marry her daughter.
Becoming a sister-in-law with that girl from the Lin family... This is really unpredictable. "Is it Wulang from the Wang family? Which girl is he from?"
"From the Yuan family." King Xining blurted out as he knew what he was doing.
The more Princess Wei thought about it, the more she felt sorry for Lin Wan. She raised her head and caught a glimpse of the smile in King Xining's eyes. A bright light suddenly flashed through Princess Wei's heart, and her expression when she looked at King Xining was a bit strange.
"Does this gift of marriage have something to do with me?"
The King of Xining chuckled twice and started fighting. "It doesn't matter. I just mentioned a few words and the Holy Father will remember them. It's none of my business. Besides, it's not that the Yuan family is bad, Old Man Wang
Maybe I'm secretly happy in my heart! As for that girl from the Lin family..." King Xining narrowed his eyes, "I think she looks good, she would be great as the daughter-in-law of my Lu family."
Princess Wei was so frightened by King Xining's words that she was unsteady on her feet and almost doubled over. She hurriedly supported King Xining. Her eyes were filled with astonishment and she asked in an extremely uncertain tone: "What do you mean by this? I really like her."
?Brother Ke Zhao..."
"How can he hide his thoughts from me?" King Xining snorted with great disdain.
Princess Wei opened her eyes wide, and then she was ecstatic and at a loss, not knowing how to be happy.
"Is it that girl? Is it her that Brother Zhao likes? No wonder... I said, he has never met a few girls, why did he... Hey, it doesn't matter, I fell in love with that girl at a glance
Now, if it weren’t for being a little younger, hey, I’d already have haircuts, so I’m not too young, not too young...” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support
