Chapter 144 – Strong Enemy
“Naturally I have to say it.” Liang Ying said, “I’m marrying in the open, it’s not like I’m sneaking around, so of course I have to inform my family in the first place. Otherwise it would be disrespectful to you as well.”
Speaking of which he asked, “Have you ever spoken to your father?”
“I thought that there was no need to rush when it was not time to talk about marriage.”
Yu Qingping spoke back, her complexion obviously not as good as earlier.
“What’s wrong with you?” Liang Ying asked her, “It’s like there’s something strange lately.”
Yu Qingping hung her head and held her cup, not answering.
Liang Ying didn’t ask any further, and only said, “I heard your maid say that you’ve been going out a lot lately, where have you been going for fun?”
“I was bored of staying at home, so I went out for a walk and another trip to the palace.”
Liang Ying heard her say that she went into the palace, only thought that she was listening to her own advice, raised her lips and said, “What did you say to the Empress Dowager? I heard that Ci Ning Palace for a while did not pass the official family members into the palace to talk, the Empress Dowager saw you, visible or you are not ordinary. You just have to be more obedient to the Empress Dowager’s will, she favored, you have to be better at home.”
Yu Qingping didn’t want to mention this topic and looked up, “I promised my mother to go back earlier, do you still have something to do?”
Liang Ying said, “Didn’t you agree to go back after dinner?”
“It’s not good for me to go back on my word.”
Liang Ying didn’t say anything else and brought over the bag by her hand, “Here are two fox skins that I brought back, for you to set two cloaks.”
The package opened, the snow white flawless two fur exposed, like Yu Qingping this kind of people are used to using good things, at first glance is very good fur. She looked up and said, “Did you go to the paddock?”
Liang Ying’s gaze narrowed slightly, “Don’t care where I went, just take it.”
Yu Qingping stroked the fur, but her face gradually brightened up. She smiled at Liang Ying, “Many thanks.” Looking at the empty table, she added, “When I’m free in a couple days, I’ll come out for dinner again.”
Liang Ying only thought that this gift sent into her heart, and listen to her this appeasement, also relaxed: “I send you back.”
“No need ……”
Liang Ying slightly pause: “Then I send you on the carriage.”
Yu Qingping nodded and said nothing more, arriving at the building, Liang Ying escorted her to the carriage.
Liang Ying watched her get on the street, then turned to look at her guards, “I’ll send her back, that’s normal, isn’t it?”
The guard nodded: “What the son said is true.”
“But he won’t let me send her, even when I send her downstairs she is very reluctant.”
The guard did not say anything.
“Why do I always feel that her mind is not on me?”
The guard looked at the ground: “Miss Ping has always been arrogant, perhaps because she can’t let go yet.”
Liang Ying lightly related: “What, do I still have to let her down to be able to qualify to be with her?”
The guard dared not make a sound.
Liang Ying held his sword and took a deep breath, “Forget it.”
After saying that, he rolled over and got on his horse.
Yu Qingping sat in the carriage, kneading the fox fur in her hand, oblivious to the fact that Liang Ying was still looking at her from behind.
She has never inquired about what the emperor let Liang Ying to do, but now she knows,paddock …… really in the emperor’s heart still have weight.
Sitting quietly for a while, she stuffed the fox skin into the bag, looked at the sky, said: “Go to the gold store.”
Originally, she did intend to have dinner with Liang Ying, after all, she hadn’t planned to draw a line with him.
But when she heard that he had told Uncle Guangping and his wife about the two of them, she didn’t want to stay. If he told his parents at home, then this couldn’t be delayed for long. Moreover, once Guangping Bo found Marquis Jingnan and told him about the matter, Marquis Jingnan would most likely agree to it, which would be the same as crossing the clear path!
At that time even if she succeeded, will also face Guangpingfu difficult ……
She clenched her hands.
She must seize the time!
The biggest goldware store in the city was Jinxi Lou.
What it does is of course the business of all the powerful and big families in the city. At this moment, the big shopkeeper was sitting in the southeast corner of the store, a place set aside for entertaining honored guests, entertaining the great grandmother and the great miss of He Shangshu’s mansion.
“Miss He, you really have a good eye, this eight treasures save phoenix gold hairpin is the store’s newest style this year, the look is still according to last month’s Zhang Shangshu a painting of ladies painted on the style made. I heard that this painting the emperor has seen also praised, has stayed in the palace. A lot of stores in the city have come up with this look, but the most exquisite workmanship is still ours!”
He Wan Yu holds the heavy phoenix hairpin in her hand, revealing joy between her eyebrows.
“It’s nice. Mother, let’s have this one.”
Mrs. He did not rush to speak, with the shopkeeper said: “You go down first, we look carefully, back to you.”
“Well, then you take your time to see, small on call!”
Looking at the shopkeeper’s gone, Mrs. He will count up He Wan Yu: “But just go to participate in the birthday festival, need to be so grand? This hairpin costs one to two hundred taels of silver! Nowadays, the court is so tight on money, your grandfather for the shipbuilding matter are almost white hair, to know you so extravagant, surely will not be able to reprimand you.”
Yu Qingping walked in, a glance at the corner of the He family mother and daughter, she frowned, was trying to turn his head to avoid, just heard the words of Mrs. He.
Manju Festival ……?
Her mind turned, and she sat down behind Mrs. He’s mother and daughter.
He Wan Yu was somewhat unhappy after hearing Mrs. He’s words.
“Why is mother so thoughtful? I’ve heard that the court is preparing to hand in folders to urge marriage before the Manju Festival, mother, my daughter has reached maturity!”
Speaking here she lowered her head with a blushing face.
“So you are–” Mrs. He straightened her back in surprise, “You actually have this in mind, but your grandfather and father won’t agree!”
“Isn’t it still up to the emperor and empress dowager to answer or not?” He Wan Yu placed the box on her knees, “Looking around the capital, there aren’t many young ladies of our family’s status, and even fewer who come from a family of scholars. If my daughter is not even qualified to enter the palace, then I don’t know who else is more qualified.”
Mrs. He was speechless for half a day.
Yu Qingping withdrew her gaze and clutched her silk.
In terms of status and strength, the He family is indeed one of the best among the civil officials of the current dynasty. Originally should be counted as the first is added to the Crown Prince of the Ministry of Rites Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu did not marry, not to mention the children, that counts down to the five Shangshu, but these five are either some have been married, or not the age of the young lady, counting down to the not more than three households.
Because the emperor is about to build a ship to the sea, HeZhong is being reused, this HeWanYu is actually very likely! The key compared to herself, He Wan Yu also grandfather and father support, she is no one support.
She was negligent and did not even think about the fact that there was such a strong enemy beside her!
She looked at the mother and daughter who were talking again and pursed her lips.
