Chapter 789: Her Royal Highness Was Just Lost For A Moment
After hearing what the eldest lady said, the elder frowned instinctively.
How could he be willing to marry his daughter and live in hardship in the countryside?
But the eldest lady added: "Speaking of which, it seems that the Su family now has a son who... participated in the Qiu Wei?"
After the eldest lady finished speaking, she looked at Bai Shuyu inquiringly.
Under the gaze of the eldest lady, Bai Shuyu said bravely, "He is the fifth son of the Su family."
A glimmer of understanding flashed in the eldest lady's eyes.
Immediately, he said: "In this way, this child can be regarded as a somewhat talented person. I have seen the descendants of the Su family today. They all have good looks. I think this child is not bad, and he is a good match."
.”
The elder said displeasedly: "How can Yu'er marry into such a small family? What's more, she will be the legitimate daughter of our Bai family soon, and we should find a better marriage for her.
That’s it.”
Don't mention it, the eldest man is his biological father after all, and he still loves his daughter very much.
The eldest lady gritted her teeth in anger.
If she had known that this girl had such an idea, she would not have proposed to take her name into account!
"Master, this is Yu'er's marriage after all. Why don't you ask Yu'er what you mean?" the eldest lady said while holding back her anger.
The elder frowned and said: "The marriage of children should be decided by the parents and the matchmaker. She is a girl, how can she..."
"Father, my daughter is willing." Before the elder had finished speaking, Bai Shuyu suddenly knelt in front of the elder.
The old man: "..."
The following words stuck.
The eldest lady snorted in her heart.
She knew it!
"Yu'er, do you know what this means?" the elder asked seriously.
"Yu'er knows!" Bai Shuyu said with determination: "As a daughter of the Bai family, my daughter should share the worries of her parents and contribute to the family! In return for her parents' kindness in raising her and the family's cultivation!"
After Bai Shuyu's righteous words, the elder was almost moved to tears.
He taught his daughter so well!
"well!"
The elder said two good words in a row.
When the eldest lady saw this, she was filled with disgust.
This girl, I still underestimated her before.
However, when she thought of the benefits that Bai Shuyu would bring to her by marrying into the Su family, the eldest lady still expressed relief.
Immediately, he stood up and helped Bai Shuyu up.
"Get up, you kid, you are so sensible and heartbreaking." The doctor said in an unkind tone.
After saying that, he looked at the elder and continued: "Master, why don't you decide on Yu'er's marriage first, and then make plans to marry the princess."
Otherwise, I am afraid that the Su family will be offended, and they will not marry the Bai family at all.
After all, the Su family dared to refuse even the legitimate son of the Bai family who wanted to marry their own daughter.
The eldest lady had already seen the strength of the Su family and did not dare to verify it again.
The elder nodded and said, "That's how it should be!"
Then, he pondered and added: "You have to wait until your son has passed the imperial examination... It would be better to catch the emperor's eye directly during the palace examination. Then it would be more appropriate to ask for the princess's hand in marriage..."
Throughout the dynasties, there have been stories of young champions being given the opportunity to marry princesses in court.
If the son caught the emperor's eye and was given a direct marriage, it would save the Xia family from regretting their marriage.
This marriage in the Xia family can just be put off for now...
It has to be said that the eldest man’s thoughts can be said to be both serious and decisive.
Although the eldest lady was worried about the long nights and dreams, and wished to settle the marriage between her son and the princess as soon as possible, she had to listen to the eldest master's words.
"Father..." Bai Shuyu looked at the elder and hesitated to speak.
"Yu'er, if you have anything to say, just say it." The elder said in a gentle tone.
I am more and more satisfied with this daughter.
"Father, maybe my daughter is overthinking. I have seen Her Highness the Princess at the gate of Gongyuan these few times when I was picking up my third brother for exams." Bai Shuyu said, "My daughter always feels that Her Highness the Princess did not appear there by chance."
Both the eldest gentleman and the eldest lady were moved in their hearts.
The eldest lady said first: "Is it possible that... Your Highness the Princess is doing it for your third brother?"
The eldest lady's eyes were bright and her face was full of joy.
If that's the case, this marriage will be a sure thing!
Princess Hua Ning is the emperor's eldest daughter and has always been loved by the emperor.
Now that he has served the Queen Mother for many years, the emperor inevitably pities his daughter even more.
If Princess Hua Ning is attracted to her son and has feelings for her, neither the Emperor nor the Queen Mother will definitely go against Princess Hua Ning's wishes.
"Mother, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not pay attention to the third brother at the gate of the Gongyuan. Instead, she kept looking at...the fifth child of the Su family." Bai Shuyu bit his lip and raised his eyebrows.
Madam: "..."
The surprised expression was wiped away by a ladle of cold water.
The old man's heart "thumped!" for a moment.
"So, Your Highness, the fifth son of the Su family..." the elder said in surprise.
Bai Shuyu nodded and whispered: "My daughter is also suspicious of this."
The old man: "..."
It's over, the princess's daughter-in-law has flown away, and so has her beloved son-in-law.
The eldest lady said angrily: "A girl's family, who is regarded as a princess, actually fell in love with a poor scholar from the countryside. Are you blind?!"
Her son is so outstanding, but he can't even see it!
The more the lady thought about it, the angrier she became.
At the same time, I felt very cold in my heart.
Although she is the eldest lady of the Bai family and the niece-in-law of the Queen Mother, she can influence the lives of many people, but she cannot influence the thoughts of Her Highness the Princess.
Whoever Her Royal Highness wants to marry, how can she stop her?
"What mother said is that Her Royal Highness the Princess is so noble and noble that she may have been confused for a moment." Bai Shuyu said softly: "The fifth son of the Su family is just a poor scholar from the countryside. He is not even a good scholar.
Even if the Emperor and the Queen Mother dote on His Highness the Princess, they will not marry her to such a person without dishonoring the royal family’s face..."
Before Bai Shuyu finished speaking, the eyes of the eldest man and his wife lit up at the same time.
That's right! If the fifth son of the Su family was a failed scholar and was not even a scholar, how could the emperor agree to this marriage?
The difference in family status is so huge that it is a slap in the face of the royal family!
As for this failed scholar, if he becomes their son-in-law, will it slap their family in the face?
For the sake of health pills and beauty cream, the eldest man and his wife felt that they all accepted it!
The eldest lady looked at the eldest master and asked: "Master, I wonder how educated this child of the Su family is? Will he succeed this time?"
The elder thought to himself: I want to know too.
Originally, the elder really hoped that Su Laowu was good at learning and could succeed in one fell swoop.
After all, that is his future son-in-law.
But now, he was extremely hopeful that Su Laowu failed the exam.
The eldest lady naturally had the same thoughts.
Bai Shuyu said: "My daughter has heard that the fifth son of the Su family once received guidance from a famous teacher and is very knowledgeable."
The hearts of both the eldest master and the eldest lady sank.
The elder said: "Good knowledge may not necessarily lead to success. For example, how famous was Zhou Zixuan, the head of the Qingzhou Prefecture's case? After so many years, he has become more and more depressed..."
The old man is talking about Zhou Damu.
He and Zhou Damu were candidates in the same class.
Zhou Damu got the head of the case and hung up the rear of the car.
Nowadays, despite all his bad luck, Zhou Da has become a high-ranking official in the court.
The eldest lady's eyes flashed, and her mind became active again.
"What I said is that no matter how good your knowledge is, if you don't have luck, your work will be in vain!"
A haughty smile appeared on the face of the eldest lady.
