Chapter 1194 Xia Tingyu: I definitely don’t have anyone I like
Simple and straightforward answer.
The steward had followed Wang Mang for many years and naturally knew his master's temper, so he nodded and saluted immediately.
But before he turned around, Dian Junming said, "Are you here to propose marriage?"
Wang Mang picked up the teacup without even looking at Dian Junming, "Don't be afraid."
Then he took a sip of tea and said, "Trouble."
Dian Junming laughed: "What's the trouble? It's just a meeting. If you reject her in person, will you feel comfortable with Fu Wei making such a fuss?"
Wang Mang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Dian Junming: "If you refuse, you will stop making trouble?"
Dian Junming chuckled and looked at the steward: "Let them in."
The steward looked at Wang Mang.
Wang Mang said, "Bring them in, and have someone call the young lady over."
When Dian Junming heard this, he immediately laughed and scolded: "I knew you were waiting for me to persuade you. You have such a hypocritical temper and you haven't changed it for decades."
Wang Mang still didn't speak, but looked at Dian Junming: "You came here today just to let me see the wife and the second prince, right?"
Dian Junming chuckled and said frankly, "His Highness Bu Er has come to me for help, so I have to give him some face."
Wang Mang put down his teacup and said, "You shouldn't see him."
Dian Junming rubbed his hands and sighed, "I have to see him. My brothers are making a lot of noise, but the prince doesn't do anything."
Wang Mang asked: "This is not an excuse for your inability to control your subordinates, nor is it a reason for your subordinates to speak out."
Dian Junming asked back: "What about your subordinates? Pei Dongqing today was one of your subordinates. He disobeyed the prince's order in public. Tsk tsk, many people said that you ordered him to do it."
Wang Mang replied: "So, I sent him to the palace prison."
Dian Junming smiled and asked, "It's too late."
Wang Mang said: "I don't need to argue about the right and wrong, but he disobeyed the order and must be punished."
Dian Junming smiled and looked towards the archway of the lobby where no one had come yet. "Yao Zhien has found the hiding place of those Westerners, but he didn't report it to the prince, nor did he arrest them. You asked him to do that, right?"
Wang Mang stood up and glanced at Dian Junming: "You should ask Yao Zhien about this matter. It was the prince who gave him the task of arresting the Zoroastrians in the Western Regions."
Dian Junming tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers.
But he didn't say anything, just stood up.
Because right at the entrance, the steward, Madam Chen and the Second Prince had already walked in.
Wang Mang and Dian Junming clasped their fists at the same time: "Greetings, Madam, and Second Prince."
Madam Chen dressed up carefully and looked dignified and elegant. After watching the two generals return the greetings, she smiled at Dian Junming and said, "I didn't expect General Dian to be here too."
Dian Junming chuckled and said casually, "I have nothing to do, so I came to chat with Lao Wang."
Madam Chen smiled and looked at Wang Mang: "General Wang, these are just some small gifts, please don't despise them."
After Wang Mang returned the greeting with a fist, he turned sideways and invited Madam Chen and Xia Ruoyun to take their seats.
Wang Mang sat down and looked at Madam Chen: "I know what Madam and His Highness are doing here, and I have also sent someone to Fu Wei to come over."
Hearing this, Xia Ruoyun stood up immediately: "General, I..."
Just as he opened his mouth, he stopped talking immediately when he saw his mother wave her hand.
Madam Chen looked at Wang Mang and said, "I will not hide this from you, General. The prince doesn't know I am here yet, but he mentioned Fu Wei and Ruo Yun before and he thought they were suitable, so he asked Ting Yu to propose marriage for his brother. But the child was upset and refused, so I came here."
Wang Mang motioned for Madam Chen to have some tea and then said, "Madam, Fu Wei is not worthy of the Second Prince. They are not suitable."
Xia Ruoyun immediately said, "General Wang, I know we had a misunderstanding before, but I didn't get to know Fu Wei on purpose, nor did I use any tricks. I treated Fu Wei sincerely, but you also know the rumors outside, and I didn't want Fu Wei to get hurt, so I said those words to break up with Fu Wei, but I heard about what Fu Wei did at home, and I was heartbroken, so I asked my mother to come here today."
Madam Chen looked at Wang Mang and said, "General, the children love each other, why stop them? If you are worried about the prince, I will naturally plead for him. You said you were thinking about Tingyu, and the child is the most reasonable and can understand."
Wang Mang looked at the tea leaf standing upright in the tea bowl and said softly, "Madam, Your Highness."
Wang Mang raised his eyes to look at Madam Chen and Xia Ruoyun: "It's not suitable. If the Second Prince is anxious to get married, I heard that there are many girls in the capital who are suitable for marriage. They are all from high-ranking officials, and there are some who are of equal status to the Shu Palace."
Xia Ruoyun immediately said: "I'm not in a hurry to get married."
Madam Chen glared at Xia Ruoyun, then looked at Wang Mang: "General Wang, since the children like each other, why should we as parents stop them?"
Dian Junming said nothing, sitting sideways in the chair, looking at Wang Mang, then at Xia Ruoyun and Madam Chen.
But suddenly
Dian Junming looked towards the entrance of the mansion and couldn't help but grin. It was so lively.
Dian Junming just finished muttering this in his heart.
The gatekeeper came over again, stood at the door and looked at Wang Mang, "Master, the eldest princess is here."
Dian Junming looked at Xia Ruoyun.
As expected, Xia Ruoyun's expression changed.
Mrs. Chen suddenly stood up from her chair, her face changed, and she looked at the steward.
She knows
really!
She had known it for a long time.
But just as Mrs. Chen was thinking this, Xia Ruoyun grabbed her mother's hand.
Mrs. Chen looked at Xia Ruoyun and felt much more relieved.
Not afraid.
Don't be afraid!
Now that it has begun, you must not be afraid! There is no way back! And I am only here to propose marriage, I have not done anything.
Mrs. Chen tried hard to suppress the fear in her heart and looked at her son with a smile.
Wang Mang had already asked the steward to invite him.
Wang Mang asked, "Is the young lady not here yet?"
The servant at the door immediately turned around and ran towards Wang Fuwei's yard.
Wang Mang stood up and said, "Madam, Second Prince, since the eldest princess is here, let's ask her about the marriage. I don't agree, but if the eldest princess agrees, I can agree."
Hearing this, Xia Ruoyun clenched her fists hidden in her sleeves, her eyes filled with resentment.
Madam Chen smiled and nodded: "That's right. After all, the prince had given her the task of arranging a marriage for Ruoyun."
But his hand was on Xia Ruoyun's arm.
"Uncle Dian is here too."
Xia Tingyu remained the same. When he saw everyone in the lobby, he immediately spoke.
Dian Junming laughed and said, "So, I came to chat with Wang Mang."
Xia Tingyu said "Oh", and Hu'er looked at Dian Junming and said, "Then I didn't bring any gifts for you."
After that, he walked straight to where Wang Mang was and took out a green purse he bought outside: "This is for Uncle Wang. Although the Dragon Boat Festival is still early, I'm sending it in advance."
Then he looked at Madam Chen and Xia Ruoyun.
When Mrs. Chen and Xia Ruoyun saw Xia Tingyu, they were both nervous for a moment, but they kept calm and smiled at Xia Tingyu.
Xia Ruoyun immediately greeted him.
Xia Tingyu took out a purple and white purse and handed them to the two of them: "I didn't expect you to be here too. I just bought some outside. This one is for Auntie, and this one is for Ruoyun. The colors are quite suitable."
Mrs. Chen forced a smile.
But how could I not hear the hidden meaning in these words?
What do you mean I didn’t expect you were there too, so I just happened to buy it.
Isn’t it obvious that they knew we were there, so they bought it?
Dian Junming stretched his neck to look at the purse, then turned to look at Xia Tingyu.
Xia Tingyu noticed Dian Junming's expression and said with a smile, "I told you I didn't know you were here, so I didn't buy it for you."
Dian Junming was unhappy.
But Xia Tingyu chuckled: "Okay, I'll buy you another one later, okay?"
Dian Junming smiled and said, "You are the one who knows how to make me happy, hahaha."
When Xia Ruoyun saw this scene, she looked at Wang Mang who was holding the purse and looking at it. He could never do such a thing in his lifetime, nor could he learn it.
Xia Tingyu sat down casually and looked at Madam Chen and Xia Ruoyun: "Why are Auntie and Ruoyun here with Uncle Wang?"
Dian Junming said, "I'm here to propose marriage."
"Propose marriage?" Xia Tingyu looked at Xia Ruoyun in surprise, and then looked at Madam Chen: "Propose marriage is such a big thing, why didn't you call me, Auntie? Don't you treat me as Sister Ruoyun?"
Mrs. Chen immediately smiled and said, "I didn't know you were busy, so I came here by myself."
Xia Ruoyun said, "My sister refused the proposal last time, so naturally she didn't invite you."
It's a rare moment of toughness.
This made Dian Junming look at it deeply.
Wang Mang still looked at his purse and didn't look at anyone.
Wu Mao, who was standing behind Xia Tingyu, smiled. It was different now that he had a backer. He was so weak before, but suddenly he became tough.
Xia Tingyu glanced at the noisy Langfang on one side of the lobby with fox eyes, and then said: "Of course I don't agree. After all, you don't like Fu Wei. Even if she likes you very much, I won't agree to her marrying you."
Wang Mang stuffed the purse into his arms and said, "The eldest princess disagrees. Madam, Second Prince, please go back."
Xia Ruoyun frowned: "I"
Mrs. Chen stood up and stopped Xia Ruoyun from speaking.
"Brother Ruoyun!"
But at this time, a sound came from the direction of Langfang.
Then, the sound of wooden boards being stepped on was heard.
Everyone looked over.
Then I saw a young girl running towards me. She looked anxious, had red eyes and was very good-looking.
"Brother Ruoyun!"
Wang Mang's daughter, Wang Fuwei, had just stepped into the hall when she was immediately stopped by a maid.
Wang Fuwei looked at these people and said, "Let go! Let me go!!"
He continued to struggle and was about to rush to where Xia Ruoyun was.
Noisy and shouting.
It took four or five men to catch Wang Fuwei.
Xia Ruoyun also wanted to go over, but Mrs. Chen grabbed his wrist and prevented him from going over.
Xia Ruoyun looked at Wang Fuwei: "Sister Fuwei."
Xia Tingyu chuckled: "You said you liked her, but there were four or five people trying to stop her, and the one who stopped you was your aunt, and your aunt only grabbed your wrist, and you couldn't break free?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen immediately let go of her hand, then frowned and looked at Xia Tingyu.
While I was muttering to myself, I was thinking about what to do.
After being stunned for a moment, Xia Ruoyun immediately ran towards where Wang Fuwei was.
After taking only two steps, Wang Mang said, "Your Highness, please be aware of your identity."
Xia Ruoyun heard this and looked at Wang Mang.
Xia Tingyu stood up and handed a pink purse to Wang Fuwei: "Here, I bought it for you because it looked beautiful."
Wang Fuwei looked at Xia Ruoyun while shaking his head vigorously, "Brother Ruoyun, Dad! Tell them to let me go!"
Bang!
But just when Wang Fuwei finished speaking, Xia Tingyu slapped Wang Fuwei in the face.
This made everyone look stunned.
Mrs. Chen was especially frightened and sat up.
Xia Ruoyun took a step back in fright.
Wang Mang looked at his daughter.
Xia Tingyu looked at Wang Fuwei who looked confused, smiled gently and said, "I came here just to talk to you, and then to ask your father something. How could I not talk or ask questions when you were making such a fuss, right?"
After saying that, he reached out and touched the right cheek that had just slapped Wang Fuwei: "There's nothing wrong with liking someone, but when it comes to getting married, it's best to marry someone you like and who also likes you. But remember, never marry someone who doesn't like you. No matter how much you like him, if he doesn't like you, he just doesn't like you. In his eyes, you are worse than pigs and dogs."
Wang Fuwei came to his senses at this time and looked at Xia Tingyu: "Brother Ruoyun likes me! I like him too! I know that you don't agree, so no one agrees, including Dad. And no one likes you! You don't have anyone you like, you cold-blooded fox! You..."
When he said this, Wang Fuwei saw Xia Tingyu taking action and immediately took a step back.
Xia Tingyu smiled charmingly, "I definitely don't have anyone I like, why would I have one? But does this prevent me from educating you?"
After that, he turned around and looked at Wang Mang with a smile: "Uncle, don't blame me."
Wang Mang shook his head: "I dare not blame Your Highness."
Xia Tingyu chuckled, then looked at Wang Mang and said, "I have a question for you, uncle."
Wang Mang clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, please ask the question."
Xia Tingyu asked: "Is your uncle Lushan?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen and Xia Ruoyun were stunned.
Dian Junming grinned.
Wang Mang said, "No."
Xia Tingyu nodded: "Okay. Then I'll leave, you guys continue."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Fuwei and stuck out his tongue lightly: "I just don't agree with you two being together. It's better for you to be alone and suffer for the rest of your life."
Wang Fuwei's breathing quickened and he clenched his fists in anger.
Xia Tingyu left as soon as he said he would, and turned around and walked outside.
only
I remembered a bad guy in Beijing who liked to dress up as a woman.
How could I possibly like someone!
…
In a courtyard somewhere in the capital city.
After Su Changan sneezed, he looked at the old seniors in the yard with a puzzled look on his face.
What to say.
Originally, Su Changan was in high spirits, holding a shovel and hammer, and called Lu Cai, and went to dig with Ruyu who had been demoted.
As a result, I met Aunt Yan by chance.
Then Aunt Yan said that she had something to discuss.
Su Changan originally didn't plan to participate.
But Aunt Yan said that the Grand Empress Dowager asked the Queen to attend.
then
Su Changan was attending the meeting here.
"What's the matter? Is there another girl missing you?" Ku Yue heard Su Changan sneeze, and asked while sitting next to Su Changan and eating a big naan in both hands.
