In order to arrange golden fingers for the male protagonist, this world is going all out. It is obvious that the princess is traveling, but the servants who brought one or two seem to have lost their minds. The princess struggled in the water, and it seemed impossible. But none of them jumped down to save others, they just stood on the side of the boat and called the princess one after another.
There is a lot of commotion here, but the strange thing is that it is the busiest time of the day, but there is no one passing by here. If Qi Wang doesn't take action again, Princess Qinghe will probably die. .
He sighed, flew out of the window, and rushed to the river at an extremely fast speed. He jumped, fished out Princess Qinghe from the water, and threw her into the arms of the servants on the boat. Before they could react, they returned to the restaurant again.
All this happened in a blink of an eye, and Qi Wang's speed was astonishingly fast. They didn't even know who was going to help, and the princess was rescued from the water.
The people over there panickedly rescued the unconscious princess, while Qi Wang had already returned to the table, enjoying his lunch leisurely.
There are no secrets in the capital, and the news of Princess Qinghe falling into the water still spread. After waking up, Princess Qinghe offered a reward for finding the man who saved her, and threatened to marry him as his wife.
In fact, her words and deeds are extremely out of line, completely inconsistent with what a princess should look like, but Princess Qinghe's reputation is not very good, she acts so indulgently and recklessly, but no one will say anything more.
Princess Qinghe is the youngest daughter of the former emperor and the younger sister of the current emperor. Twenty years ago, the five-year-old Princess Qinghe was abducted by kidnappers during the Lantern Festival and sold into a place of fireworks. Although she was found back soon, she The reputation was ruined after all.
This world is extremely harsh on women. Even if Princess Qinghe is a royal princess, it is inevitable that she will be criticized by others. Although the former emperor has already divided those kidnappers into five horses, it can't stop the rumors. Princess Qinghe's reputation is completely ruined. Everyone Although they don't say anything on the surface, they all think that Princess Qinghe has become filthy, but any respectable family is unwilling to marry the princess.
Twenty years have passed in a flash, and now Princess Qinghe is twenty-five years old. She is considered an advanced age in this era. If she married normally, she would have children around her knees now, but Princess Qinghe is still lonely until now. all over.
Naturally, no one said anything on the surface, but Princess Qinghe's reputation in private is not very good, and the current emperor probably feels ashamed of this younger sister, and inevitably indulged her a bit. She is obviously a princess, but she is worse than a few princes. To be more dignified.
Princess Qinghe probably also knew how those people talked about her in private, so she was a little bit broken, and her behavior was completely contrary to the current women, and because of this reason, her marriage became more difficult.
In the past, if Princess Qinghe really wanted to marry a wife, she could do it with her power, but Princess Qinghe was not willing to do so, but this time she was rescued by someone, but she didn't show her face to that one. The mysterious person secretly agrees, and bluntly says that you will not marry if you are not a king.
Women's hate to marry is already criticized by others, and Princess Qinghe's publicity is even more shameful, and private discussions have become more and more ugly. They all think that Princess Qinghe's search for a savior is fake, and they clearly want to use Because of this incident, she found a good family to marry.
Even if Princess Qinghe is a princess, because of her bad reputation, the children of decent families are not willing to be the princess, and those dudes who act absurdly are not willing to be with Princess Qinghe, a woman who is even more absurd than them.
So during this period of time, the number of children from aristocratic families who went to the streets has decreased a lot, and even those dudes who like to fight dogs and chickens on weekdays have become more obedient. They stayed at home peacefully, for fear of being caught by Princess Qinghe and made son-in-law .
The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion could not have imagined that the person who rescued Princess Qinghe would be the second son who had just come back, and now Lin Qinshuang was trying to help Qi Wang hold a blind date banquet.
Qi Yuanhang feels that it is too early to hold a blind date banquet. After all, Qi Wang's identity is here. Even if he is a serious son of the prime minister's mansion, he has lived outside for twenty years. In the eyes of others, he is just a country boy He is not as knowledgeable about literature and talent as the serious son, but any noble daughter from a family who is favored at home will not consider marrying him.
The most he can pick are some low-class concubine daughters or the daughters of the sixth- and seventh-rank small official families, but the purpose of sending their daughters is clear at a glance. In exchange for the in-laws of the prime minister's mansion, it is worthwhile no matter what.
Lin Qinshuang obviously didn't want to wrong her son, she thought very simply, Qi Erzhu, the son of a peasant woman, could marry the second-rank Shangshu's first daughter, how could her own first son be worse than this
But she didn't think about it, before the truth was revealed, Qi Erzhu himself was a very good man, and with the name of the prime minister's son, it was more than enough to marry a second-rank minister's daughter.
What does Qi Wang compare with others
It's just that every time this topic is discussed, the husband and wife will always have a quarrel and break up. After coming and going, Qi Yuanhang didn't try to say anything more.
The two of them are young couples, they have been in love for many years, there is no need to have such an unpleasant fight over a child.
As for Qi Nuo and Xu Chengjun, they were not involved in this matter, and Qi Nuo even specifically told Xu Chengjun that the mother's whole thought now is to compensate Qi Huang, so that she doesn't have to disobey her mother's wishes.
"Mother has not interfered with the affairs of the house for a long time. If you want to do these things, you will be in a hurry. If you can help mother if you have nothing to do, it can be considered that we have done our best as brothers and sisters."
Xu Chengjun smiled and agreed: "Don't worry, husband, I know what to do."
It was already late at night, and the husband and wife were lying on the bed after washing. Xu Chengjun looked at his husband lying beside him, and after thinking for a while, he asked.
"Husband, my natal family has a distant cousin who is nineteen years old and is still unmarried. Her appearance and talent are all top-notch. It is only because her parents died early that she delayed her engagement because of filial piety."
Xu Chengjun didn't say anything clearly, but the meaning in his words was very clear - she wanted to say that her cousin would marry Qi Huang.
It has been more than two months since Qi Wang came back. Because of their identities, the two did not have much contact with each other, but Xu Chengjun has eyes, and she can see that although Qi Wang grew up in the countryside, perhaps because Because of the blood relationship, his appearance and talent are all first-class outstanding, his intelligence and intelligence are not inferior to his husband, and he is even more outstanding--Master Lao said that Qi Huang is more talented than Qi Nuo, If he was cultivated from an early age, his achievement would not be weaker than that of Qi Nuo.
Mr. Lao often regretted that if Qi Wang could come back early to accept his teachings, he would have a place among the great talents who are now well-known in the capital.
Lao Fuzi was also a stunning and talented person back then. It was only because of some incidents in his family that he never became an official in the court, but his qualifications and insights are there. His praise, but he often praises Qi Wang, which shows Qi Wang's intelligence.
Even if it is too late to be enlightened at the age of twenty, but with Qi Huang's intelligence, his future achievements are limitless.
He hasn't made a name for himself yet, and the members of the Qi family haven't deliberately gone out to promote it, but as long as Qi Huang takes the exam next year, he will definitely become famous.
Xu Chengjun is a good person, but he also has some small thoughts of his own, and his cousin is really outstanding, so it is not humiliating to match Qi Wang.
Qi Nuo didn't think that his wife would have such thoughts, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he said: "Your cousin has no father and mother, I'm afraid my mother won't agree."
For the younger brother Qi Wang, Qi Nuo actually didn't have much affection, and Qi Nuo didn't have any thoughts about his marriage, but seeing his wife wanted to introduce his cousin to him, Qi Nuo still talked about the pros and cons of it.
The mother felt that she owed this younger brother, so she wanted to give him the best in everything. When choosing a marriage for him, she must also want to choose the best candidate. Xu Chengjun's cousin is good, but just because she has no father and no mother, Lin Qinshuang I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the test there.
Xu Chengjun was a little disapproving. Seeing that her husband was not going to stop her, she continued: "Although my cousin has no father or mother, her mother has a very good relationship with mine. My mother sent someone to enter the Dingyuan Hou's Mansion, and since then my mother has been bringing me up, and there is absolutely no fault in the rules and etiquette."
"One more thing," Xu Chengjun deliberately lowered his voice when he said this: "Although my cousin has no father or mother, all the wealth left by my uncle is in my cousin's hands. Naturally, it will be brought in as a dowry."
Qi Wang's identity is here, which cannot be concealed. Xu Chengjun's cousin is leaning against the Dingyuanhou's mansion, and holding a lot of dowry in her hands. If things can really work out, it can be considered a good marriage.
Xu Chengjun's cousin, Qi Nuo, also knows that she is also a lady from the official family. She is well-bred and is more than enough to match her younger brother. His brother's status is not high, and other noble girls may not be able to look up to him, even for the sake of the prime minister's residence. If he gets married, the woman's family will look down on him, and he may not be able to hold his head up in front of the Yue family. If he marries Xu Chengjun's cousin, these problems will no longer be a problem.
After thinking over and over again, Qi Nuo felt that his wife's suggestion was good, he thought about it, nodded and agreed.
"If that's the case, then I'll go talk to my mother tomorrow. If my mother agrees, let the two of them meet. After all, it's Ah Qi who gets married. It's better for him to choose."
Speaking of this, Qi Nuo paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he continued: "But if Ah Qi doesn't like your cousin, you can't get angry, just pretend it's nothing. Don't get angry when you mention this."
Xu Chengjun naturally agreed.
She didn't think that Qi Wang would look down on her cousin. In the past, Qi Wang grew up in the countryside, how many women could he meet? How can those country girls compare with noble girls from aristocratic families? My cousin is outstanding in appearance and talent. If it wasn't because of the early death of her parents, someone like Qi Wang would not be worthy of her.
Thinking of this, Xu Chengjun felt a little melancholy in his heart.
The world has very strict requirements on women, family background, one's own appearance and talent, but any slight deficiency will become a reason for others to be picky. The requirements for men can only be lowered again and again, but men are different. No matter how stupid they are, as long as they The family background is there, and you can choose any kind of woman.
She sighed secretly, but Qi Huang is not that bad anyway, if her cousin can really get married with him, it would be a good story.
The husband and wife had their own thoughts, and they didn't say anything more, they turned off the lights and rested.
On the second day, Qi Nuo found Lin Qinshuang and talked about Xu Chengjun's cousin.
"Mother, Cheng Jun told me that she has a cousin who is outstanding in appearance and talent, and is also at the right age. Why don't you let my second brother see her?"
Lin Qinshuang couldn't help being stunned for a moment when she heard this, she looked Qi Nuo up and down, her gaze made Qi Nuo feel very uncomfortable, and subconsciously avoided her gaze.
"I didn't bring up the matter I was going to see for Ah Qi in the past two days. Why didn't Cheng Jun mention it before?"
Now that she is already preparing to post a post to invite the wives and ladies to visit, Xu Chengjun proposes at this time that he has a suitable cousin in his family. How can this make people not think too much
Qi Nuo sighed, and said: "Cheng Jun also just remembered that she was kind, if mother disagrees, then forget about it."
Lin Qinshuang put down the booklets in which the girls' names and temperaments were written, and the smile on her face faded a lot.
"Zigu, although I've been ignoring things for a long time, I'm not a fool. Why did Cheng Jun bring up the matter of his cousin at this time? It's just because he thinks that Ah Qi has a talent for reading now, and he thinks his future is promising, and he is barely worthy of it." to her cousin."
Why was it not mentioned before? It's just that Qi Wang is not good enough to be her cousin, what is she doing as her own son
What's more, it is not uncommon for Xu Chengjun's younger sister to be of the right age. There is no rule in this dynasty that sisters cannot marry brothers together. If you really want to find a marriage for Qi Huang, why don't you mention her biological sister
In the end, I still look down on Qi Wang from the bottom of my heart, thinking that he is not good enough for her own sister, so he can only match a cousin who can't beat her.
Qi Nuo was blushed by his mother's words, his head drooped deeply, and he explained in a low voice: "Mother misunderstood, Cheng Jun didn't have this idea, she didn't..."
Lin Qinshuang didn't want to hear what her son had to say, she waved her hand at Qi Nuo, and said with a nonchalant face: "I don't want to hear your excuses, you go back and tell Cheng Jun, there is no need for this matter." If she intervenes, I can handle it properly, if she is really for Ah Qi's benefit, then don't dictate his marriage."
The mother and son broke up unhappy, and Qi Nuo went back to his yard. When he saw his wife looking at him expectantly, Qi Nuo let out a long sigh and did not vent his anger at his mother on his wife.
"Don't mention this matter again, mother doesn't agree."
Seeing that Qi Nuo's expression was not very good, Xu Chengjun was not good enough to say anything else.
On the way home from get off work the next day, Qi Nuo ran into Qi Erzhu whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Since Qi Erzhu left Qi's house, the two haven't seen each other for a long time. Qi Nuo is the servant of the household department and works in the household department, while Qi Erzhu is in the Imperial Academy. The two yamen are far apart, and one lives in the east of the city. , one lives in the west of the city, and it is not so easy to meet each other. After all, they haven't seen each other for two months.
Now that Qi Nuo met Qi Erzhu on the way home, it shouldn't be an accident, he was here specially waiting for him.
The two brothers looked at each other speechlessly, and in the end it was Qi Erzhu who spoke first and invited Qi Nuo to sit in the teahouse.
