Chapter 77
After Xie Yuheng returned from the palace, he first went to Huiju Garden to meet his mother with the gift he bought for Rong.
After Mrs. Rong of Zhongyong Marquis knew that her son was back, she was waiting for him at home with great expectations. From time to time, she asked Qiaoer to go to the courtyard gate to see if her son was coming.
When she saw her son walking through the door, Mrs. Rong was filled with excitement. She first grabbed him and looked him up and down, and then said, "As soon as Mom looked at you, she felt that she had lost a lot of weight."
"Mom, my son has not lost weight." Xie Yuheng felt warm in his heart. Every time he came back, his mother complained: He has lost weight.
Therefore, there is a kind of thinness in the world called thinness. If your mother says you are thin, you will lose weight...
Nanny Lin answered from the side: "What Madam said is true. Naturally, the Marquis Mansion still raises people."
Mrs. Rong also nodded repeatedly, "Isn't that right! When you come back this time, you won't be going out for a while, right?"
"Probably not." Xie Yuheng nodded and said yes, sitting down to accompany Mrs. Hou.
I knew in my heart that I was afraid that just like in my previous life, I would still go to Ganzhou for official duties.
"Your Majesty, please drink tea." Qiaoer brewed a pot of Yuqian Longjing tea at the right time and served it to him on a carved red sandalwood tray.
"Yeah." Xie Yuheng nodded warmly at Qiao'er.
"Mom, this is the jade that my son brought to you from Qinnan. Do you like it?" Xie Yuheng said as he handed the jewelry box in his hand to Mrs. Rong.
"Oh! I brought a gift for my mother!" Mrs. Rong looked surprised. She opened the box in her hand and saw that it was full of exquisite jade ornaments and jade stones.
My son often goes out on business, but this is the first time he brings a gift to himself.
I am so happy and happy that I can’t express it in my heart!
With her well-maintained and painted hands, she took out a hosta with a lifelike magnolia carving from the box and played with it in her hand.
The petals of the hosta in the hand are stretched out, and the jade body is shiny and crystal clear. It is a fine piece of jade.
Mrs. Rong was happy in her heart, and this joy was also reflected on her face, which was full of smiles and she was filled with joy from the bottom of her heart: These jade pieces were all bought for her by her son with all his heart...
Nanny Lin hurriedly came forward and said, "Let me put it on for you, madam."
Mr. Rong nodded with a smile and said "Yeah".
Then he said with a look of relief: "Put the box in the dark drawer under the dressing table in the room. This is a gift my son bought. Even if my mother doesn't wear it, she feels comfortable if she takes a look at it from time to time."
Needless to say, it is a valuable gift, even if it is a penniless gift, she is still happy.
This shows how important he is in his son's heart.
"Yeah! The prince is the most filial!" Nanny Lin took the box from Rong's hand, echoed, walked into the side room with small steps, and put away the box containing the jade jewelry.
The mother and son have always gotten along harmoniously. Not only did they just talk to each other, but Xie Yuheng also told her about the trip to Ganzhou and the local customs and customs along the way.
He just ignored his injury and Wang Tong'er pretending to be his concubine and didn't mention it.
As long as he didn't mention it, no one would say anything, so his mother would not know what happened to him in Ganzhou.
Mrs. Rong saw that her son was telling her what he had seen and heard outside for the first time, and he was very interested in hearing it. It was much more interesting than listening to stories and reading a storybook when he had nothing to do.
"Mom, after a few years of leisure, my son will take you to Ganzhou for a visit. There are many hot springs there. Almost every household of wealthy people has one or two hot springs. When the time comes, my custodian will become much younger after taking a bath in the hot springs." Xie Yuheng rarely saw this.
He would joke with his mother.
Mr. Rong has always been strict with him since he was young, and he has strictly abided by his behavior and etiquette since he was a child.
Coupled with his father's behavior of favoring concubines, killing his wife, and neglecting his legitimate son, he became even more strict with himself.
Force yourself to grow up, force yourself to make progress, and work hard to climb up!
The ignorant and innocent sunshine boy was forced to turn into a young and mature prince Xie who had rules engraved in his bones, was cold and ascetic, and laughed freely...
"Really? My mother has been waiting for your words, haha..." Mrs. Rong couldn't help laughing happily when she saw her son's rare cheerfulness and joy.
She knew that her son was being filial and she was trying to make herself happy.
Don't say that you can run so far away, even returning to your parents' home is a rare event.
Xie Yuheng saw that he could make her mother so happy by bringing some gifts to her.
I am also in a happy mood, and I plan to bring more gifts back to my mother no matter where I go on errands in the future, so that she can be happy.
Mrs. Hou's eyes were filled with her own son, then she remembered something important and said excitedly: "Mom had someone make a horoscope for you and Miss Shen Er. I didn't expect you two to be a match made in heaven!"
Xie Yuheng pursed his lips, knowing that the two of them had the same horoscope in their previous life.
When Mrs. Rong stopped talking, she asked, "Has mother asked about his usual temperament?"
Even though I already knew her character, I had to pretend not to know and just ask, otherwise my mother would think she didn't care and marry her casually.
Mrs. Hou was stunned, and then she remembered what she had heard before, and said: "Girls raised by rich families are a bit arrogant, but Shen Yushi is usually very strict with his children. It is said that Shen Er The lady is gentle and virtuous."
Xie Yuheng promptly persuaded Mrs. Rong, "Well, mother is right, my son will listen to mother."
He was originally looking for a young lady from a well-matched family, with a gentle and tolerant temperament, who could support her role as a mistress. Whether she was beautiful or not was a secondary concern.
If you marry a jealous and arrogant person, it will cause unrest in the family. Therefore, in this life, if you don't want to cause trouble, you will still marry the Shen family and marry the second young lady of the Shen family as the eldest concubine.
"Mom has chosen a day for you. I just wait for you to come back and perform the three rituals." Rong picked up the red date and osmanthus tea that Aunt Lin poured for her, took a sip and said, "Mother will wait for you to nod and invite her immediately." The matchmaker comes to your door to accept the offer, asks for your name, and waits until you come back to figure out the day to accept the offer."
By the way, Na Cai, asking for the name does not require Xie Yuheng to come to the scene in person, but no matter what Na Zheng said, Xie Yuheng had to come to the door to deliver the betrothal gift in person.
Otherwise, the woman's family will be very embarrassed.
In the eyes of others, they would say that Prince Xie did not pay attention to the woman, and that the Zhongyong Marquis did not take the woman's family seriously and did not take it seriously.
"Mom, when is the wedding date?" Xie Yuheng couldn't help but ask, don't set it next year, it's too long.
I just wanted to bring Tong'er in this year.
Well, let's go to the Yamen first and get the concubinage documents back.
When Mrs. Rong heard her son's question, she said with a smile on her face, "Mom, I asked someone to take a test on two good days. One is August 28 this year, and the other is April 16 next year."
When Xie Yuheng heard this, he thought it was a good day in August!
Just what I wanted.
Then it was decided: “Let’s do it this year!
Chapter completed!
