Guan Yunrong felt that according to Yang Xuan's request, it was impossible for the royal family to let a princess marry outside, so the marriage would probably be a dirty one.
And Lu Jing also believed that Yang Xuan had already been selected as the final candidate, and he only needed this last step. As long as his father and mother nodded in the hall, it would be done.
Since the two women had their own thoughts and both thought they were the winner, there was no apparent harmony or secret competition during the meal.
So Yang Xuan had a fairly comfortable meal.
After dinner, it was getting dark, and everyone said goodbye.
Because Yang Xuan was prospecting for minerals, his feet hurt from walking in Nanshan, so he asked the coachman to go to the Real Madrid Club, because based on his suggestion, the Real Madrid Club launched a foot bath project.
These services are free for members.
After several months of development, the club now has nearly a thousand members.
From membership fees alone, the income is nearly one million taels of silver.
In order to maintain the vitality of its members, it is necessary to come up with new tricks from time to time. This club not only makes money, but also obtains a lot of information.
Those who can become members here are either sons from high-ranking families or wealthy businessmen who want to build relationships. During their daily chats, they can occasionally reveal some important information, both from the court and from business.
Yang Xuan soaked his feet and was enjoying the massage service when there was a knock on the box door. Yang Xuan was lying on his stomach. He raised his head when he heard the sound.
Then I saw Lu Jing walking in.
She waved her hand and asked the massage technician to leave, leaving the two of them alone in the small box.
Yang Xuan turned around and said, "Seventh Princess, is there something wrong?"
This was the first time Lu Jing met Yang Xuan alone since Yang Xuan decided to run for the consort. At this time, her heart was pounding and she did not dare to look at Yang Xuan.
After a while, he said calmly: "Yang... Yang Xuan, you have entered the final selection. I... I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter, tell me." Yang Xuan took a sip of tea and sat up straight.
"That's it...it's the final election. You will enter the palace. Your father and mother will receive you then. As long as you behave better in front of them, we...our business will be settled."
After Lu Jing finished speaking shyly, her face turned red, but she had not finished speaking yet.
"I know that my father has a very good impression of you, but you should pay more attention to your mother."
"What should I pay attention to?"
"My mother likes honest and honest people. When the time comes, don't find another way, just think of some weird ways."
"Okay, I get it now."
In fact, Yang Xuan felt a little weird in his heart. It seemed like he was meeting his parents.
He had experienced it once in his previous life, but was rejected by his prospective mother-in-law, so he was a little worried about it.
"Also, there are three finalists this time, and one of them is Concubine Du's distant nephew. Concubine Du will also be able to express her opinion."
"Ah?" Yang Xuan was stunned: "Then I'm out of luck?"
The candidate turned out to be a relative of the referee. If this was done behind closed doors, he wouldn't have the slightest chance.
"That's not necessarily true. Concubine Du Guifei's opinion is just a reference at most. In the end, it is the Queen Mother and the Emperor Father who have the final say."
"Okay, I will definitely perform well when the time comes."
After being silent for a while, Lu Jing started to find something to say: "Last time, the little song you sang was quite nice. I liked it very much."
"As long as you like it." Yang Xuan was wondering whether he should bring some gifts when meeting his parents.
"You...don't you have anything to say to me?"
Lu Jing stared at her toes, not daring to raise her head.
"By the way, I wonder if your brother has told you that if we get married, I will marry you into the Yang Mansion instead of going to the Princess Mansion to be the consort. Are you willing?"
When Lu Jing heard this, her face turned red and she even felt her ears burning.
It took a while before she managed to squeeze out two words.
"willing."
These two words seemed to have exhausted all her courage. After saying these two words, she turned around and rushed out of the room.
Yang Xuan couldn't help but remember that when he was young, he had such nervous and fearful emotions.
However, given his mental age of over 40 years old, it is difficult for him to make waves in his heart.
For Yang Xuan, Lu Jing's feelings of admiration are still very fulfilling.
When I got home, I learned about the edict brought by the palace eunuch. It turned out that there were three people participating in the final election. It was still next month, and there were still about ten days left.
Yang Xiao looked at his brother and sighed and said: "My parents are in heaven. How gratified it would be to know that you, brother, are expected to become our consorts."
Yang Xuan looked at the excited elder brother and said: "Brother, this thing may not be possible yet. I am just one of the three candidates."
The eldest brother glared: "That's very prestigious, at least I can choose a good wife from a good wife in the future."
Yang Xuan was speechless for a while: "Brother, with my conditions, why should I worry about not getting a wife?"
"Brother, do you know how much assets I have? Even the emperor is my business partner."
"Brother, have you ever seen such a young cabinet bachelor? He also has the title of third-rank official. There are not many civil and military officials in the dynasty who can't bow to me when they see me."
"Yes, yes, brother, you are really good." Yang Xiao curled his lips and said, "I heard that you even ran away from Feng Taishi, and not many civil and military officials in the dynasty wanted to see you.
.”
"Brother, don't slap people in the face when you hit them, don't expose their shortcomings when you scold them."
"The officialdom is shady. You should be more careful yourself and avoid offending others outside. Brother is incompetent and can't help you with anything."
"Brother, as you said, there are many ways you can help me. I will tell the emperor after a while that I will send you a good emissary."
Yang Xiao was stunned: "What tricks are you going to do again?"
"Brother, don't worry. This is just an idea. It's not certain whether it will work out. I'll discuss it in detail with my brother when there's a final decision."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."
Yang Xiao said: "By the way, I have something else to tell you. My eldest brother bought a yard and is going to move out with Shuyi."
"Why do you want to move out?" Yang Xuan asked in confusion: "Isn't it good to live here?"
Yang Xiao said: "Look what you said, you have reached the age of marriage. It is not good for the eldest brother's family to always live here. No matter you become a consort or marry a daughter-in-law in the future, how can you be with the eldest brother's family?"
Living together.”
"Then I'm the only one left in this family?"
"Don't worry, the yard I bought is in the alley next door. It can be reached in just a cup of tea. You can just go to Big Brother's place to eat every day."
Yang Xuan nodded. After all, he only had three courtyards in the Yang Mansion. It was okay for the eldest brother to be at home. If the eldest brother was not at home, it would indeed be a bit inconvenient for only the concubines Yuan Shuyi and Xuanxuan to be at home.
"By the way, in addition to the father-in-law in the palace coming to deliver the order today, there is also someone coming to see you."
"Who is it?"
"He said his surname is Zhang and he comes from Lin'an."
