Chapter 141: The Strange Liang Ying
Zhao Su picked up the conversation, “Then these families that they’ve thrown posts to, could they be prepared to be used to pick their granddaughters-in-law? Does my brother have a chance?”
Based on the fact that Luo Cang was trusted by so many people back then, their family’s culture must have been good. Zhao Su happened to have an older brother, so wouldn’t it be great if they could see eye to eye and tie the knot? Both families will have help.
But all three people looked at her meaningfully smiled.
“There is still a ready-made unmarried emperor in the palace, why don’t you think about it, maybe casting a post to our families is to ask us to be matchmakers?”
Zhao Su wondered, “What’s so good about marrying the Emperor? The Emperor’s city is too deep, ordinary people can’t fight him!”
Even someone like her who has crossed over from the modern era can’t defeat him, not to mention all those young ladies who have been poisoned by the idea of male superiority and female inferiority, okay? –Of course, a cross-breeder with an IQ like hers should belong to an exception, even in ancient times, there are many competent palace fighters, this is just her personal opinion.
“This child is saying stupid things,” Huang said, “As the king of a country, how can you do it without a little city? Besides, married to the emperor that is the emperor’s daughter-in-law, that is the couple of mutual love ah, and is not fighting with people, a family need to fight what?”
“Not this meaning,” Zhao Su weighing the words, trying to say the meaning thoroughly, “I think, both as husband and wife, that should be properly managed relationship, which is married to the emperor is too risky ah! Does the emperor have the time to cultivate a relationship with his daughter-in-law? He’s so busy all day long. If he can’t cultivate a relationship, then it’s meaningless, right?”
“This kid, he thinks a lot!” Huang couldn’t answer back, and riled at her.
“I do think what she said is not unreasonable.” Xing thought for a moment, “Empress Dowager has been working hard to benefit women all these years, but isn’t it just to let the women of the world have a happy home? If you can’t meet a person who has a heart, even if you are married to someone with a high status, it’s too hard to live a long life.”
Everyone sighed.
Du shook up her fan and said, “How can we say what will happen in heaven? Just like the Marquis Jingnan’s sister Ping, once upon a time there were people who guessed privately, saying that even if she could not be the Empress, it would be no problem for her to be a concubine or a noble consort, but what happened?”
Zhao Su heard her mention Yu Qingping, can not help but think up: “Yu family on this concubine daughter in the end how?”
“You all know it’s a concubine daughter, how good can it be when the first mother has a child and a daughter?” Du said, “I heard that since she was dismissed by the Emperor, she was despised by her family. All kinds of taunting her. Alas, this girl is also a pity! If she had come from a better background, she would have been a real catch.”
“What’s a pity? Have you forgotten what he did to Sister Su?” Huang straightened her back, “As the saying goes, a poor man’s will is not poor, no matter how bad his background is, no matter how much he is bullied at home, it has nothing to do with others, there are so many commoner children in the world, don’t you think every one of them is like her? If she is bullied at home, does she have to bully others? There’s no such thing!”
Huang’s fan was whistling.
Du said, “It’s just that they’ve been raised crooked!”
Xing said, “Okay, we’re talking about others when we’re having a chat.” Then she looked at Zhao Su, “I’m tired for the whole day, you should go back to your room and rest.”
Zhao Su obediently went out of the room.
Just as she walked down the steps, she heard Du’s voice: “By the way, second brother said that Uncle Guangping wants to matchmaker between the Miss of Lord Wen’s family and Sumi’s son, is there any chance for this to work out? ……”
Zhao Su stopped his steps to listen, but the voices in the room were silenced.
Liang Ying’s father is playing matchmaker for Lord Wen’s family’s young lady and Zhao Sumi?
Zhao Su didn’t expect to be able to eat his own brother’s melon!
But then again, it seems like I haven’t seen Liang Ying in the past two days?
After a few more days, Zhao Su still hadn’t seen Liang Ying.
When she was on her way to work again, she asked Pei Zhan, “Do you know what Liang Ying is doing?”
Pei Zhan pondered for a while and said, “It’s not written on the duty roster that he’s on vacation, so it’s likely that the emperor has something to tell him that he’s gone out.”
Zhao Su let out a cry.
Pei Zhan asked, “What’s wrong?”
Zhao Su asked, “Did Liang Ying discuss his marriage?”
“No, right? Why are you asking?” Pei Zhan ate a red date and looked at her.
“Oh, it’s nothing.” Zhao Su took the jujubes and threw them in her hand, and in her heart, she was wondering if she could tell him about the matchmaking matter of Guangping Bo.
Pei Zhan stared at her for a while and said, “If you want to know, I’ll let someone go and inquire for you. But you tell me first, is he bullying you again?”
“No such thing!” Zhao Su denied, but when he said so, he felt that if he still hid it, he would not treat him as a friend. Then he said, “Guangping Bo came to matchmaking for my brother, and the woman is a lady from the right family. I think it is a little strange, if Liang Ying has not yet proposed marriage, why Guangping Bo did not go to propose marriage himself?”
Pei Zhan thought for a moment, “Could it be that you think that Uncle Guangping will screw the son?”
“I don’t mean that at the moment, I just think Liang Ying is quite strange. He inexplicably has hostility towards me, and then …… do you know? When I passed by him the other day, I smelled a rouge fragrance on him.”
“Rouge fragrance?!” Pei Zhan was also surprised. “This shouldn’t be ah, before the guards of the forbidden guard department entered the palace in the first place, each of their character was strictly verified, including their private behavior. Liang Ying did not discuss marriage, then where did this rouge fragrance come from?”
“That is to say!”
Pei Zhan thought for a moment, got up and said, “I’ll go ask around for you!”
There was no lack of Liang Ying’s acquaintances in the forbidden guard department. Pei Zhan inquired back when he was off duty. “I’m sure we haven’t discussed the marriage yet, and two days ago, someone’s mother met Mrs. Guangpingbo at the Xiangguo Temple to pray for Liang Ying’s hand in marriage.”
If the marriage has been arranged, it would be a bit abnormal to go to the temple to seek marriage.
After saying this, both Pei Zhan and Zhao Su fell silent.
According to the rule that imperial guards must be of flawless character, wouldn’t this person’s behavior be worth pondering?
But no matter how annoying he is, we are all colleagues in the same court, can we state that he has made a big mistake just based on the rouge scent on his body? This kind of private pull people pigtails, give people to add to the things, they can not do out.
So no one said anything more, just Han Jun came over to assign tasks, this matter is so pressed.
At the same time, the guards who followed Liang Ying out of the capital knocked on the corner door of the Marquis Jingnan’s residence and asked to see Yu Qingping.
“Dare I ask where Miss Ping is?”
Seeing that it was Yu Qingping’s personal maid Huang Ying who came out to meet her, but she herself did not show up, the guard asked.
Huang Ying said, “The girl is not in the mansion, is there something going on with Mr. Liang Shizi?”
