Chapter 522: Good fortune is yet to come
Pei Shaorong heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her say that.
"That's it, what's the difficulty? But is the Duke of Cheng's Mansion really going to propose marriage? By the way, I also heard something. I heard that the youngest son of the Hu family made a joke last night! Is it true?"
Pei Shaorong was bored and started gossiping.
Xiaoqing started gossiping in her ear early this morning.
The days in the palace are monotonous and boring. Everyone's favorite thing to do is to stare at the outside of the palace to see if there are any interesting things to share. Look
, last night's incident was quite a big deal, so it was reported to the palace early this morning, and she also heard about it.
The reason why she kept it in mind was because she knew that the Geng family almost became relatives with the Hu family before, and the young lady of the Geng family almost talked about marriage with the young master of the Hu family.
Now that the Duke of Cheng's Mansion is planning to propose marriage to the Geng family, she will naturally pay more attention to it.
"It's true, there's a commotion outside now. I heard that Lord Hu fainted last night!"
Xu Muhua was quite gloating.
Pei Shaorong couldn't help laughing, "No wonder I heard that Lord Hu didn't go to court today and asked for sick leave. It turns out that he lost face and was embarrassed."
"That's not it! If he dares to go to court, others will spray him to death!"
Lord Hu offended many people on weekdays, and now it's his turn to have an ugly incident in his own family. This makes his usual righteous words seem hypocritical and ridiculous. He
has time to blame others, but no time to teach his own children well.
Especially a few days ago, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Geng were close. Although nothing real has been reported, those who understand will understand. It is because everyone understands that they are now even more mocking and despising the Hu family.
They are covered in shit, and they still want to touch other people's bodies without washing themselves clean. How bad!
"Fortunately, the Geng family recognized their true colors in time, otherwise the marriage would have been settled, and such a scandal would have happened now, and Miss Geng's reputation would have been ruined."
"That's right! It proves that Miss Geng is a blessed person, and the blessing is yet to come!"
Pei Shaorong teased, "Yes, yes, yes! If the Geng family and your Xu family can really get engaged, she will be your sister-in-law in the future. Isn't she blessed! Your own eldest brother still brags about himself, aren't you ashamed!"
"I have nothing to be ashamed of. This is the truth! Don't you also praise your brother Huaiyuan? In a few years, it will be time for Huaiyuan to get married, right? You and your aunt can start looking for the right person now, and take your time."
After all, people can pretend for a while, but not forever. It is too late to observe whether a person is upright when it is time to get married.
Pei Shaorong smiled and said, "Huaiyuan is still young, there is no rush. But your Xu family, your eldest brother is getting married now, and your younger brother will be married soon, right? Your younger brother is older than Huaiyuan!"
Xu Muhua was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead, "Oh, I didn't notice it if you didn't mention it! Yes, Anan will also be getting married in a few years!"
It's time to get ready!
After these troublesome things are solved, she will have free time and thoughts. See which girl is good, and when Anan grows up and it's time for her to get married, she will quickly ask her mother to go to the door to propose marriage!
Of course, if Anan doesn't like others, or if others don't like him, there is no need to force it, otherwise it will be bad if they become a pair of resentful couples.
"I'll take you to the warehouse now, and you can see if there is anything suitable, just take it!"
Pei Shaorong said.
"Then I won't be polite. If the prince says something bad about me, you have to speak up for me."
"How could the prince say anything bad about you? He's not such a stingy person."
"That's hard to say! Maybe he doesn't like me taking things from the East Palace back to the Chengguo Mansion to save face?"
Pei Shaorong laughed, "Don't talk nonsense. How can the prince be so stingy? No matter what you say, you are his concubine. If he dares to be dissatisfied, I will scold him without you saying anything."
"Okay, Rong, I feel relieved when you say that."
There are of course a lot of good things in the warehouse of the East Palace, which makes people dazzled.
Xu Muhua couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The life of rich people is really luxurious beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
There are a lot of good things in the warehouse, everything you can think of.
It was just that the proposal had to be respectful enough, but not too excessive, after all, there would be a wedding later. If the Geng family was praised too much at the beginning, there was no guarantee that the Geng family would not take advantage of her in the future.
In the end, she picked out a few things that were not too excessive, which could both highlight her status and not be too grand and precious.
Pei Shaorong did not accompany her in, but waited outside. She had seen the storehouse not long after she married into the East Palace, and she really had no curiosity about it.
After all, they were her own things, and who had the time to think about them every day. Seeing that she came out not long after she went in, she was a little surprised, "Did you choose so quickly?"
"It doesn't take long to choose a gift!"
Pei Shaorong also took a look at the gift she chose and nodded secretly. I think it is reasonable to give gifts when proposing marriage, and people can't find fault with it. Giving something too expensive will make people think that the Duke Cheng's Mansion is in a hurry.
Xu Muhua handed the selected gifts to Wu'er and asked her to hold them.
"Arong, if everything is fine, I will go back first."
"Well, go back, don't worry about your grandmother. I heard from the prince last night that the emperor has ordered the imperial physician to do his best. If you need anything, just go to the pharmacy. With the imperial physician, your grandmother will definitely be out of danger."
Hearing this, Xu Muhua sneered in his heart.
He knows how to pretend at this time!
But her face was full of gratitude: "I feel relieved with your words, father. Next time I go to pay my respects to you, I will kneel down to thank you!"
Xu Muhua and Pei Shaorong waved and prepared to return to their Yichun Palace.
But someone came up to them. When they got closer, they recognized him at a glance. He was someone from the Empress's palace.
"I have seen the Crown Princess, Concubine Xu."
Pei Shaorong raised her hand, "Why did Aunt Pinghua come to the East Palace at this time? Is there something important?"
"Crown Princess, the Empress heard about the old lady of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion, and asked me to come and invite Concubine Xu to Changchun Palace for a visit."
This means that the Empress wants to ask about the old lady of the Chengguo Mansion.
"Thank you for your concern, I will go there with my aunt."
Wu'er had to hand the things to Xiaoqing first, and went to Changchun Palace with Xu Muhua.
