Pei Tingyan heard Gu Xi mention the marriage of his eldest son, and couldn't help but think of his daughter's marriage contract with Huo Xiao, after all, Xin'er has passed her twelfth birthday, so what's the matter with always dragging it out like this.
He smiled at Gu Xi and said, "Madame is only thinking about Jincheng's marriage, shouldn't we have an explanation for Xin'er's affairs?"
Pei Jinxin was not shy when she heard her father mention her marriage, her eyes were wide and she looked at her mother, she also wanted to know if the marriage contract between herself and Huo Xiao was still counted.
Gu Xi played with the jade pendant on his waist and said: "This matter will be talked about when the princess returns to Beijing, anyway, Xiao Wang Huo is not in Beijing now."
What's more, Xin'er is like this, and I don't feel at ease with who she marries. ” Pei Tingyan also loves his only daughter very much, although he knows that what his wife said is the truth, he is still a little unhappy to hear such a statement.
Especially when she saw that her daughter's mouth was so pouting that she could hang up the oil bottle, she couldn't help but say to Gu Xi: "Xin'er is innocent, although she is a little squeamish, she has never had any bad intentions, and Mrs. is too worried." ” Gu Xi said: "Does Master Hou really think that the concubine is too worried?"
A sentence of "concubine", which rarely appears in the conversation between the two, made Pei Tingyan chuckle in his heart, it seems that his wife is by no means joking.
"Huo Xiaowang is going to inherit the Fu Wangfu and Dingbei Wangfu in the future, and his wife doesn't need to be so naïve."
Gu Xi said in a deep voice.
She turned her head and looked at her daughter seriously: "So Xin'er, if you really plan to be a little princess, you have to change yourself from now on."
If it were still like this, not to mention that Princess Yongfu and Huo Xiao would never look down on you, I would not agree to this marriage in the first place. ” Pei Jinxin has lived for twelve years and has never been belittled like this, not to mention that this person is still her own mother, she immediately cried loudly: "I didn't find this marriage contract myself, you forced me to accept it yourself, it's easy for me to open it and you say it again, woo" Pei Tingyan took his daughter into his arms distressedly, and said to Gu Xi with some dissatisfaction: "Madame has passed a little today. ” Gu Xi sighed and closed his eyes and said: "Yes, it's all my sin, I shouldn't be selfish because I saw that the three-year-old Huo Xiao was so outstanding, I shouldn't follow the will of Princess Yongfu to make a so-called marriage contract, and I shouldn't indulge my daughter like this, it's all my fault, so while it's still too late, I'll change it, can't I change it?"
As soon as he heard this, Pei Jinxin leaned into his father's arms and hiccuped, not daring to cry anymore.
Pei Tingyan said with a straight face: "Madam means that we simply don't want this marriage, it's impossible, I, Pei Tingyan, can't afford to lose that person, and my mother will never allow it." ” What are you kidding, how much power there is behind Huo Xiao and everyone with long eyes knows that if it weren't for this marriage contract, how could my sister be so attentive to Xin'er, and her love is even more than that of her own son.
What's more, they and the second prince Yu Wenheng have already been tied to the same boat, plus the power of the Huo family, the position of the prince is absolutely stable, how could they watch the duck fly to their mouths.
Huo Xiao always wants to marry in his life, if he doesn't marry his own daughter, will he still push him into the camp of other princes, he will never let his wife mess around in this kind of matter.
Gu Xi sneered: "Xin'er is like this, it's strange that Huo Xiao would be willing to marry her, I, Gu Xi, can't afford to lose this person, not to mention that my daughter was born and raised by me, what qualifications does she Pei Tingyu have not allowed" Pei Tingyan said in a deep voice: "Madame is cautious.
"My sister is now the mother of the country of Da Zhou, and it is disrespectful for Gu Xi to call her by her name like this.
Seeing that his parents showed signs of quarreling, Pei Jinxin was a little scared.
But when she thought of her mother's attitude, she also began to get angry: "I don't care, even if I want to break the marriage contract, I don't want him, and my aunt said that he is the most suitable person for me, and I will marry him in this life." ” In fact, Pei Jinxin's idea was very simple, it was completely because Queen Pei said that day that Huo Xiao's appearance was one of the best in the capital, and she asked someone to inquire a few words, and sure enough, her aunt did not lie to her, so she made up her mind to marry Huo Xiao.
The father and daughter in front of them had already regarded Huo Xiao as something in their pockets, and Gu Xi couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth and said: "Then it's up to you, as long as you have the ability to let Huo Xiaowang carry a sedan chair to Pei's house to marry, I promise to prepare ten miles of red makeup for my daughter to get married." ” While the three of them were talking, the two brothers Pei Jincheng and Pei Jinhong came back.
Pei Tingyan and his wife closed their mouths together, and Pei Jinxin also greeted the two brothers with a smile, and no one mentioned Fang Cai's words again.
The reception banquet of the Marquis of Jingnan Mansion tonight is set up in the old lady's Chunhui Hall.
Yuan Jing's family, including the eldest daughter Yuan Wei and his wife, who had already married, were all present.
Yuan Zheng's younger brother, the sixth in their generation, the Yuan Fang family, is all there.
The second-room old lady who has been separated, that is, Yuan Hui's father, who can count the names of the people, has basically arrived, and the third-room old lady and his wife also rushed over with more than a dozen children and grandchildren.
For a while, Chunhui Hall was full of people, and it was even more lively than the New Year.
Doudou couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, the name of the Ministry of Heavenly Officials is very popular, if Daddy is only transferred at the same level, it is estimated that it would be good if half of the people could come tonight.
Especially for people of this age and generation like the two old ladies, under normal circumstances, the juniors may not be able to see each other when they come to the door, and they actually attended tonight's reception banquet in person.
The elders came a lot, and Yuan Xiang and Doudou didn't know how many kowtows and how many salutes, but at the same time, they also received many valuable meeting gifts.
It wasn't until the opening banquet that the two sisters breathed a sigh of relief.
Doudou looked at the old lady of the third room from afar, and couldn't help but think of the big white rice balls in the northwest, if he was still in the capital, he would definitely be able to meet him again tonight.
It's a pity that she doesn't know any people in the third room, and she feels a little inconvenient to inquire about the news of the big white rice balls.
Yuan Xiang, who was sitting next to her, saw her frequently looking at the old lady in the third room, and said softly: "Are you looking for someone?"
Doudou shook his head lightly: "I only met these people today, how could I start looking for people, but it's a little strange how the people brought by the old lady in the third room today are all men, not even girls." ” It was because of this that she was a little depressed, and it was all men who asked her how to ask about the big white rice balls.
Yuan Xiang smiled: "You are really abnormal tonight, obviously the old lady in the second room is all men, but you are only staring at the third room."
Such a reception banquet was originally for the father, how could they bring girls.
It's just that it's very simple for you to get to know the girls of the Yuan family, so let's just hold a party and invite them over in a few days. ” Doudou also felt that he could be stupid, and couldn't help laughing.
Yuan Xiang said softly: "Go, accompany me to change clothes." ” Doudou Fang also drank a lot of tea, and at this time he couldn't help it, so he stood up and walked out with Yuan Xiang. t1706231537:
