Chapter 932 Pretending

"Miss, this is the marriage partner that Madam is looking for for you. You should take a look first and arrange to see whichever Madam you like. The main reason is that Miss is already eighteen years old. If we delay it any longer, there will be fewer and fewer matches of the right age. .”

After placing the post in front of Lianyi, Grandma Sun said respectfully.

"Mommy, this matter of marriage has always been decided by the parents or the matchmaker. I don't understand anything, so how can I make my own decision?"

Lianyi used her luck, suppressed the blush on her face, and pretended to be shy.

Grandma Sun looked at Lianyi's face that became more and more beautiful after blushing. She just felt it was a pity. Unfortunately, she was just a servant, so she just lowered her eyes and explained:

"Miss, don't think too much. Madam is doing this to compensate you. After all, she will spend the rest of her life with him, so she must choose someone she likes."

"this"

Lianyi seemed a little moved, but still said reservedly:

"Mother Sun, please leave the post for now! I'll read it when I'm free."

After hearing this, Grandma Sun knew that the eldest lady was obviously interested, so she left the room.

Ripple continued to practice calligraphy without even looking through the posts. She knew that Mrs. Hou would not be looking for a suitable marriage partner. However, Cherry on the side pretended to read through them, and then told Ripples excitedly that those people were all young talents. Jun, any one you name would be a good marriage partner.

Ripple didn't comment, just smiled and listened to Cherry's whisper.

The next day when Lianyi went to say hello, Madam Hou held her hand and asked:

"Lianyi, did you read the post that Grandma Sun sent you? If there is someone you think is suitable, please tell me the name quietly, so that I can invite your second brother to come to the house, and you can meet him from a distance."

"Mother!"

Ripple lowered her head in embarrassment, with two blushes on her face.

"I'm sorry."

Mrs. Hou said with a smile.

"It is natural for a man to marry a woman. You don't need to be shy."

"Mother, it's natural that you make the decision about Lianyi's marriage. I will listen to you."

Ripple replied in a voice as small as a mosquito.

"Okay, I'll find an opportunity to invite all the people on the post together, let you take a look at them all, and tell me which one you like more."

Mrs. Hou said thoughtfully.

Ripple immediately thanked him shyly.

Three more days later, Grandma Sun dressed up Lianyi early in the morning, then put on her veil, got into the carriage through the back door of the Marquis Mansion, and left.

"Miss, the young masters we have made appointments with today were all arranged by the second young master in advance. You go and have a look first. We are not in a hurry to make a decision."

After getting on the carriage, Grandma Sun carefully explained the situation.

"I see."

Lianyi only took cherries with her when she went out this time, which was also the acquiescence of Grandma Sun.

After the carriage stopped at Hongyun Restaurant, Lianyi entered the restaurant with the support of Grandma Sun and Yingying.

"The private room for the three of you is on the second floor. Please come with me."

The person who entertained Ripple was the shopkeeper of Hongyun Restaurant. After all, he had booked the most expensive private room.

Especially after Shopkeeper Liang saw Lianyi's eyes, he knew that this young lady was a stunning beauty, and she was riding on the carriage of the Hou Mansion, so he served her even more carefully.

After entering the private room, Grandma Sun took the initiative and ordered some wine and food. After the food was served, she sent the waiter out and asked Yingying to guard the door.

Grandma Sun took down the painting on one wall of the private room. There was a hole on the wall, and she could just see the scene on the other side. At this time, the people in the other private room were talking loudly, and seemed to be talking about the imperial examination.

"Miss, please don't make any noise. You can see the situation on the other side from here."

Lianyi took a closer look and could see the opposite side clearly. There were eight people in the private room opposite. They were all neatly dressed. They looked like handsome young men, but they looked ordinary and did not eat very elegantly.

At the beginning, they were talking about the court affairs in a serious manner. After three glasses of wine, they started talking about which family has a beautiful young lady who has not yet left the court, which family has a young lady with big breasts and a slim waist, who is easy to give birth to, and which family has a rich dowry. Why? Only when you do it can you eat soft food but hard to eat. The ripples heard make you feel sick.

Grandma Sun's face on the side also looked a little ugly. She didn't expect that these young masters were all hypocrites. Not to mention that Lianyi didn't like them, even she didn't like them.

After a stick of incense, Ripple and Grandma Sun returned to the Hou Mansion with a disappointed look on their faces.

Cherry had been standing guard at the door, so she didn't hear what the young masters were talking about. She didn't ask Ripple until she returned to Bilanyuan.

"Don't mention it. Those people all look very handsome, but I didn't expect it would be so ugly to talk in private."

Ripple said with a frustrated look.

"I know my identity, and I don't want to marry into a high family. I just want to find a safe marriage. Why is it so difficult!"

Her eyes were red as she spoke, so Cherry naturally comforted her.

When she went to pay her respects the next day, Mrs. Hou also said with a guilty look on her face:

"Son, it's my mother who is not doing things properly. These candidates were all recommended by the official media. I thought that with the reputation of the Hou family, the official media would not be perfunctory. Who would have thought."

"Mother, this is not your fault, with my current status"

Lianyi said half and left half, letting Mrs. Hou think for herself, and then she pretended to be strong and said:

"Mother, I know it's not easy for you to raise me without my father, so I never ask for high places. Just take the trouble to help me find a farming family."

"Good boy, I have wronged you after all. This time I will see it in person. Those hypocrites will definitely not appear in front of you again."

"Thank you, mother."

Lianyi pretended to be moved and her eyes were red. Mrs. Hou pretended to be distressed for a while, and then gave her some jewelry and silk satin as a way to comfort her.

Lianyi naturally accepted the order and thanked Madam Hou before returning to Bilanyuan.

Cherry saw that Ripple could bring back so many good things when she went to the main courtyard, and she became more and more attracted to Ripple.

Another month later, because the weather was getting warmer, the Hou Mansion held a spring banquet, inviting young talents from the imperial city and young ladies who had not yet left the court to attend. The main reason was that the grandchildren of the Hou Mansion had adult children, so they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. A chance to take a look.

Moreover, everyone is well aware of the purpose of holding such a banquet. If you accept the post and come to participate, it is a disguised agreement.

Coupled with the status of Marquis Anding, there were quite a few people who came to attend the Spring Banquet. Coupled with the servants and maids these people brought with them, the entire Marquis Mansion immediately became lively.

At first glance, there are beauties dressed in spring shirts and gorgeous costumes, and on the other side are romantic young men wearing long brocade robes.

Everyone knows why they come to attend the Spring Banquet at the Hou Mansion. Even if they are unable to get married to the Hou Mansion, there are so many people of the same age who come, and there are always people who are suitable for them. The people who can come to the Spring Banquet at the Hou Mansion all have similar backgrounds. So don’t worry about choosing one with poor conditions.

Compared to the busy front yard and back garden, Bilanyuan is much quieter. At this time, Cherry is going out to watch the excitement:

"Miss, I have gone to inquire. The young masters who came to the Spring Banquet this time are all outstanding. If anyone can take your fancy," (End of Chapter)
