Qiyou Extra Episode (Eighty-Three)

For such a big matter as Perge's engagement, Qiyou naturally wanted to tell Yunqing and Yuxi.

After hearing this, Yun Qing hurriedly said: "Is Pearl engaged? Whose girl is it?"

Qiyou is already used to Yunqing being deaf and deaf at times.

Hearing that it was Chen Ran's great-granddaughter, Yun Qing said, "Bring that child into the palace some other day and show us."

Qiyou was speechless. This granddaughter-in-law has not yet married, so how could he bring her into the palace. Furthermore, even if you enter the door, you should be brought into the palace by the princess or the crown prince.

Yu Xi smiled and said: "I will send someone to Chen's house later and let her enter the palace tomorrow."

Hearing that the Empress Dowager wanted to summon Chen Muqing, Mrs. Chen immediately called her to the main courtyard, and told her about the precautions for entering the palace.

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Chen said: "You must behave well when you enter the palace tomorrow, and you must not disgrace our Chen family." In fact, most of the banquets in the palace have been canceled since the empress died of illness, and the number of times women are ordered to enter the palace is also less.

Both Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen told Chen Muqing to be cautious in words and deeds when entering the palace. As a result, when they arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Peace the next day, Chen Muqing walked cautiously.

When she was in front of Yunqing and Yuxi, she didn't dare to look up, so she knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I have seen the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother, I wish the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother good luck and health."

Yu Xi smiled and said, "Get up!"

Yun Qing said to Chen Muqing, "Come closer."

Yu Xi looked at Chen Muqing who was at a loss, and explained: "His eyes are not very good, and he can't see what you look like from a distance. You go up to him and let him see your appearance clearly." Although Yu Xi also He is in his eighties, but he is not deaf or blind, and he is in good health. For this, Yunqing was extremely envious.

Chen Muqing slowly walked up to Yun Qing.

After carefully looking at it, Yun Qing nodded and said: "Well, he looks like a good boy, that boy Pearl is lucky."

Chen Muqing's face turned red instantly.

After Yuxi asked Chen Muqing to sit down, she smiled and brought up the daily routine: "I heard that you have a younger brother?"

Chen Muqing hummed and said: "Yes, there is a younger brother who is thirteen years old this year. But when my younger brother was six years old, my grandfather sent him to study in Jiangnan." Her grandfather passed away five years ago.

At that time, my brother came back to attend the funeral. After that, I only came back once every two years.

Yuxi hummed and said: "It will be good for the boy to be independent earlier. Your grandfather also has good intentions." Sending the child to the south of the Yangtze River may not be as simple as making him independent.

Seeing Yu Xi's loving appearance, Chen Muqing was not as nervous as before: "Yes, my brother is very sensible. He is also very filial to my mother."

After chatting a few words about homework, Yuxi saw that it was getting late, so she asked Chen Muqing to go back.

Mrs. Chen was waiting outside the palace, when she saw Chen Muqing coming out, she hurriedly let her into the carriage.

After leaving the palace gate, Mrs. Chen asked, "Is it okay?"

Chen Muqing said with a smile: "The Supreme Emperor is kind and amiable, and the Empress Dowager is very kind."

Mrs. Chen was relieved now: "That's good." Although she knew that the Queen Mother was open-minded and easy-going, she was also afraid that Yuxi would not like her daughter.

Taking out a purse embroidered with Ruyi, Chen Muqing said with a smile: "This is a gift from the Supreme Emperor."

When I opened it, it turned out to be a purse full of gold beads. These gold beads are solid and of excellent color.

After seeing it, Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It is said that every year the Supreme Emperor gives the lucky money to his children and grandchildren in bags of gold beads."

"Mother, the queen mother gave me a box." Because it was given to her when she came out, she didn't know what was in it.

When I opened it, the mother and daughter were almost dazzled. Inside, there is a set of sapphire red gold peony heads. The largest sapphire on it is bigger than the cap of an adult's thumb.

There are a few young girls who don't like beautiful jewelry. Chen Muqing couldn't help stretching out his hand, fondling it fondly.

Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "It is said that the Empress Dowager is rich, the rumors are true." A meeting gift is so precious.

Yuxi is indeed rich, whether it is a grandson's daughter-in-law or a great-grandson's daughter-in-law, the meeting gift is a complete set of jewelry. However, the styles are different.

Brother Pu, who was thousands of miles away, knew that he was engaged, and it was Chen Muqing, so he jumped three feet high with joy. Then, excitedly wrote a letter and sent it back. Accompanying it is a piece of purple hosta.

Han Jingjing read the letter, and said to Yun Xu at night: "This time, we're afraid that we've made a mistake."

There was no beginning or end, and Yun Xu was at a loss.

Han Jingjing smiled and said: "Pe'er knew that we had appointed a girl from the Chen family, so she was very happy, and said that she would definitely perform well to live up to our expectations." The girl is very fond of it. As for why she didn't tell them directly, Han Jingjing didn't think deeply about it.

"This kid is finally sensible. The old saying is true, a child will be mature and sensible when he has a family and a career." The three sons except the third one who is well-behaved and obedient, the eldest is playful and the second is poor and particular. At that time, he was sometimes so worried that he couldn't sleep.

Han Jingjing smiled and said, "It's false to live up to our expectations, but it's true to be afraid of being rejected by our future daughter-in-law."

No matter what the reason is, if Pu Geer can make progress, he will not always think about eating, drinking and having fun as before. Yun Xu smiled and said: "Speaking of which, it's fortunate that I sent him to Tongcheng."

"I wanted him to go to the army for a long time to train, it was his parents who were reluctant." Like their children, it is more difficult to pass the imperial examination. Congwu, on the contrary, is smoother.

Yun Xu sighed: "Fortunately, father and mother dare not disobey the emperor's grandmother's wishes." The second child is also doing quite well in the Compassion Palace. With Yuxi watching, he didn't worry anymore.

The Chen family had a lot of rules, so in order to save trouble, Han Jingjing directly sent someone to hand over the purple jade hairpin to Mrs. Chen. Ask her to hand over this item to Chen Muqing.

When Chen Muqing saw this purple jade hairpin, she was very pleasantly surprised: "It's so beautiful purple jade, mother, where did you buy it?" Because Yu Xi, Liu Er and others like to wear jade jewelry, the people below followed suit, and now jade jewelry is also relatively popular. However, purple jade is still relatively small.

"This is specially bought for you by the descendants of Prince You when they learned that they are engaged to you." This purple jade hairpin is enough to show that the descendants of Prince You are very concerned about this marriage.

Not only did Chen Muqing's face turn red, but his heartbeat also accelerated.

Just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Chen's personal maid came in. Seeing that Chen Muqing was also there, he hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Chen Muqing knew it was not a good thing: "Mom, I'm going back first."

"Sit down! You are also engaged, there are some things you should know." She would let Chen Muqing avoid bad things in the past. But now that the children are engaged, it's time for her to know about the intrigues and even dirty things in the house. To save everything from being kept in the dark, you will suffer in the future.

The maid then said: "Ma'am, Mr. Mo's mother has come to ask for marriage, and it is the second girl." The eldest daughter of the second room, Chen Mudan, is only six months younger than Chen Muqing. The age gap between the two is so close because Mrs. Chen was pregnant after more than a year and a half. As soon as Mrs. Chen Er entered the door, she became pregnant.

Chen Muqing was a little surprised, but the male college should be married and the female college should be married. Think about it, and feel nothing.

Mrs. Chen asked: "Old lady agreed?" The Shu family's housekeeper has been in charge for more than ten years. Although the power of housekeeper has been taken away now, the servants below have not been pulled out. So her news is still very well informed.

The maid nodded.

After letting the maid down, Chen Muqing asked: "Mother, is there something wrong with this?"

Shu said with a dark face: "If this is what your father meant, there will be endless troubles in the future."

Chen Muqing was very smart, and immediately understood: "Mother, you think that if this is what father means, Mu Dan will have a bad life in the future, Second Aunt and Mu Dan will blame us."

Shu said: "The problem is, she was 100% not going well after she got married."

Chen Muqing hesitated and asked, "Mother, why are you so sure?" Both Mu Yunfan and Cui Junyan gave her a good impression.

"Don't talk about appearance, even if you are talented, Peony is not comparable to you. Do you think Mo Yunfan will sincerely ask her to marry her? He will agree to this marriage, and it is entirely for your father and the Chen family's family status. "Shu Shi is a great beauty, Chen Zhonghe is also handsome, and Chen Muqing picked the merits of the two of them. And Mrs. Chen Er's appearance can only be considered delicate, and Mu Dan looks like her mother. In addition, Chen Muqing's grades in the Wenhua Hall were all in the top ten, while Chen Mudan didn't even get into the Wenhua Hall. Cousins, very different.

Chen Muqing felt that her mother was thinking too much, and said, "Mother, I don't think Brother Mo is that kind of person."

Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "You, you don't know the dangers of people's hearts without going through it. Forget it, if I tell your second aunt she thinks I can't see Mu Dan! It's good that you know about it, so don't talk too much. .” Anyway, there are still two years before marriage, and there is plenty of time to teach.

Chen Muqing didn't say any more

When winter came, Yunqing fell ill again.

When people are sick, they tend to be cranky. Yunqing was lying on the bed talking with Qiyou, and suddenly remembered something: "Is Pu Ge'er's wedding date set?"

Qiyou shook his head and said: "Not yet, I plan to wait until the New Year is over before setting the wedding date with Chen Jiashang. It is estimated that the wedding date will be in the spring of the next year."

Yun Qing said weakly: "Your eldest brother and second brother have given birth to great-grandsons for me, and now you are the only one missing. Cough, I don't know if I can see Pu Ge'er's child before I close my eyes."

Hearing this, Qiyou hurriedly said: "Father, I will set their marriage at the end of next year."

"Whatever the end of the year is set, it will be set at the beginning of next year."

Yuxi came in with the medicine, and asked after hearing this: "What's the beginning of the year and the end of the year?"

Knowing the whole story, Yuxi said: "The girl from the Chen family will only turn sixteen next year, so it's very dangerous to have a baby. You can't let Brother Pu become a widower at such a young age!"

Yun Qing said dissatisfiedly: "As long as you are so particular about it, I think Brother Ping must be like you in this respect." However, in the end, he never said that Chen Muqing would go through the door at the beginning of next year.

Yu Xi stopped chatting with Yun Qing and said, "Don't talk so much nonsense, drink the medicine quickly."

Yun Qing had a bitter look on his face.
