Chapter 463: Toughness, What Do You Think?

"Choosing a good marriage will be of great benefit to Your Highness. Today, the Queen Mother rewarded the fifth lady of the Shao Mansion with a jade pendant. She also heard that King Chen was in the side hall and asked them to meet. Maybe it was for King Chen. After booking this Miss Shao Wu, it will be the turn of the other gentlemen next. My lord, please take a look at the information that my subordinates have compiled for you on the young ladies to be married in each mansion. Take your pick!"

In Chu Liuyue's Prince Yue's Mansion, Mr. Liu, who was sitting opposite Chu Liuyue, asked his son to send him a stack of information. There was no portrait, but Chu Liuyue had basically seen most of them.

Even if you have never seen it, there are rumors outside, and the information related to the rumors is also sent up.

Choosing a suitable wife is extremely important to Chu Liuyue.

Chu Liuyue flipped through a few of them and put them down without much interest. There was incense burning in the room, and the fragrance spread with the wind from the window into the entire space of the room. It was very light and elegant.

"Nymphatic flowers are flowing here and there... I wish I could..." Chu Liuyue sighed lowly, walked to the window with her hands behind her back, looked at the scenery outside the window and pondered.

Mr. Liu smiled and waved his hand to let his son go down, and then said: "Your Majesty, if you sit in that position, no matter what kind of woman is useless, why worry about a woman? Besides, I feel that this eldest lady is not interested in the Prince. There’s not much meaning in it!”

"Mr. Liu, please pass! She is just a boudoir girl." Chu Liuyue frowned unhappily, turned around and walked to the table, sat down again, her face unhappy.

"Yes, yes, yes, what the prince said is true, and the subordinate said it wrong, but does the prince think this is the time to marry this eldest lady? Not to mention that Miss Shao herself has not said that she is interested in the prince, even if it is Duke Xingguo The government has not officially expressed its interest in the prince, so giving the position of the royal family to someone who does not agree with the prince will not do the prince any good at all!"

Mr. Liu smiled good-naturedly, but secretly despised him in his heart.

In Mr. Liu's opinion, this Miss Shao is a scheming person. She acts polite and keeps a distance from her prince, but on the other hand, she hints at everything and exchanges letters. She seems to be shy before saying anything. At first glance, it seemed that he was deliberately seducing his own prince, but he didn't give the right words.

He was not Chu Liuyue. Although he said he had opened a mansion, he was still just a young man. He had met few women, so it was understandable that he would be confused by his passion.

This kind of attitude of refusing to welcome is most common among the brothel prostitutes, women who refuse to let go and tell the truth, always hanging in front of others, and are frivolous women.

There is also Duke Xingguo whose attitude has always been unclear. He seems to be hesitating and has other opinions. Mr. Liu can't understand what it is exactly, so he can only observe slowly.

Chu Liuyue picked up the information at hand and read another one, her face calmed down, and she nodded: "Mr., what you said is absolutely true. Let's pick a few pictures first. The Imperial Grandmother should be able to pick out the correct ones for us." Now that I’m a concubine, I can let Miss Shao’s affairs go, but I can’t let her be picked on by Chu Liuzhou!”

He may not marry Shao Yanru now, but he cannot let her enter Prince Zhou's palace.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although the Empress also cares about Duke Zhongxing's family background, she has her own natal family to take care of. She has several good nieces, and they should be selected this time. It is important to choose a concubine to maintain the honor of the Empress' natal family. It's necessary, Miss Shao's reputation is really good, if she can't be the upright one, she will be the side wife, and the main house won't be able to suppress her."

Mr. Liu added calmly.

This didn't just mean something superficial. In his opinion, marrying her to that family was a sign of chaos. They didn't want to exert any substantive power, but they also wanted to occupy a high position.

If you don't have the intention to help someone when you get married as a wife, and if you take her as a concubine and you only want to get better, you will end up with a restless family. Moreover, you are just trying to gain fame and reputation like those literati, so you are really not a good candidate for marriage.

Chu Liuyue nodded repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't want to leave Shao Yanru, he didn't have to marry him back now. As long as she was willing, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"Then just follow what Mr. said and select someone first!" Chu Liuyue picked up another piece of information, this time reviewing it carefully.

When Shao Wanru left, he walked through the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion, and used Chu Liuchen's carriage to take him to Princess Ruian's Mansion.

But he was stopped in front of the eldest princess's mansion.

"Fifth Miss, the Madam is waiting for you!" A woman stood respectfully in front of the carriage and said.

"Let's go down and have a look!" Shao Wanru immediately understood who the so-called Madam was, and immediately supported Yu Jie's hand to get out of the carriage. Sure enough, he saw a carriage from Xingguo Duke's Mansion parked on the roadside, and the corner of his lips He gave a slight hook, showing a hint of ridicule, then calmed his expression and walked over slowly.

"Come up and talk!" Before she could salute, a cold voice came from the carriage.

A maid had already come over to set up a small table, and Shao Wanru held Yu Jie's hand to get into the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted to the side, and he saw the lady sitting high in the carriage, her cold eyes falling on Shao Wanru, her face gloomy.

Shao Wanru went in and bowed to Mrs. Tai.

"Sit down first, you don't have to be polite in the carriage!" the lady said coldly.

"Yes!" Shao Wanru sat down on the side meekly, then lowered his head, waiting for the madam to speak.

Mrs. Tai was quite satisfied with Shao Wanru's submissive behavior, "You are the lady of our Xingguo Duke's Mansion, not the eldest princess's mansion. If you really live in the eldest princess's mansion, some things will be easy to say but not nice to hear. It will even affect the reputation of Princess Dachang and Duke Xingguo."

The lady said.

Shao Wanru nodded slightly, but didn't say anything. Of course, Mrs. Tai wanted to say more than that. She was only staying temporarily and would go to Yuhui Nunnery in the next few days.

"It is indeed a good filial piety thing for you to go to Yuhui Temple to observe mourning for your parents for three years. But when you return after three years, you have to return to the Xingguo Palace. No matter how powerful the eldest princess is, this matter cannot be discussed. ." Mrs. Tai said coldly, remembering that the eldest princess had suppressed her speechlessly in front of the Queen Mother just now, and her heart felt heavy.

"It all depends on Mrs. Tai's orders!" Shao Wanru said softly and softly.

"It's great that you understand this. No matter what, you are also a young lady from the Xingguo Duke's mansion and the boss's only daughter. I won't treat you badly. As for your marriage, it's too early to propose it now. It will be proposed in three years." It's a bit late, but there's nothing we can do about it, you can't discuss marriage during your mourning period."

Speaking of this matter, the Dowager Madam was also very depressed. Just now in front of the Queen Mother, the eldest Princess Ruian actually robbed her of the right to talk about the engagement, and she was obviously Shao Wanru's biological grandmother, but in the end she didn't rob the eldest Princess Ruian. The eldest princess actually gave her some say.

It was hard for Shao Wan to answer these words, so she just lowered her head and acted obediently. She gently twisted the handkerchief in her hand and then let it go. She knew that the Madam didn't mean for her to answer. Of course, this was to inform her. Got it!

Sure enough, the lady paused for a moment and then said: "Have you ever been engaged before? If so, you can wait a few years to get married directly."

"I'm still young and not engaged yet!" Shao Wanru whispered.

"It's okay if you haven't made a reservation. Your previous status is not as good as your current status. Naturally, the ones you ordered before were not very good. I will ask your second aunt to make new choices for you in the future. I heard that when you were in Jiangzhou, you also followed The eldest lady of the Qin Mansion snatched her husband, please don't let such a thing happen in the future. In the past, you didn't understand the rules. If this happened in the Xingguo Duke's Mansion, Bai Ling would have been killed long ago."

The madam warned sternly.

Shao Wanru sneered in his heart. Since he said that his current status was high, and he also said that if he recognized his previous marriage, he would also accept it. He obviously wanted to marry her casually. Fortunately, he had hidden away for a few years, otherwise what might have happened then. Rags.

As for Mrs. Xingguo's self-proclaimed rule, she also found it ridiculing. In the previous life, Miss Shao, who was said to be a decent person in Xingguo's palace, did things that were not very honorable and became the emperor's favorite concubine. But he was hooking up with Chu Liuyue, and he really thought that no one else would be able to tell.

It seems that Mrs. Tai's so-called rules are aimed at herself.

"Madam, what's going on in Jiangzhou Mansion? Madam Tai can send someone to investigate. Justice lies in people's hearts. I believe everyone in Jiangzhou Mansion can prove it for me!"

The slanderous nature of Mrs. Tai's words was too obvious. Shao Wanru slowly raised his head and explained with a faint look.

"You... how dare you speak to me like this!" The madam was furious.

"Mrs. Tai, do you want me to accept such a dishonorable reputation? What good will this do to Duke Xingguo's government?" Shao Wanru said unmoved.

It's okay to pretend to be submissive, but don't think about pouring sewage on her head, stopping your carriage, and dumping all the sewage without saying a word. If you don't say anything this time, will there be less sewage in the future? !

The word that Mrs. Tai didn't like me had already spread out, so Mrs. Tai couldn't go too far, and she also had the support of her grandmother.

The madam's face changed in anger at Shao Wanru's two words, "Are you trying to contradict me?"

"My granddaughter doesn't dare, she just tells the truth. Even if this matter comes to the Queen Mother, I will ask the Queen Mother to verify the matter!"

Shao Wanru said neither humble nor arrogantly.

"You... ok... ok... ok, your wings are stiff, I can't control you anymore, right..." Madam Tai reached out her hand to Shao Wanru and said angrily.

"Madam, please calm down. If I admit this dirty thing, you will be happy and stop being angry?" Shao Wanru tilted his head with a hint of innocence and said seriously.

The madam almost wanted to vomit blood when she said this. Even if she had such an idea, she would not really say it.

"Madam, please calm down. Fifth Miss is also explaining Jiangzhou's affairs. I'm afraid you may misunderstand. Don't worry. This matter sounds like it has nothing to do with Fifth Miss. It's not what you heard outside. It's fine if it's not like that. , you should be happy." Aunt Yu came out to smooth things over and said with a smile.

She said it as if Mrs. Tai really cared about Shao Wanru.

As she spoke, she pulled Mrs. Lala's sleeve, implying that she should not be angry at this time, and she had something important to say when she secretly stopped Miss Fifth.
