Uncle (10)

Wan Siqing raised her eyes in surprise: "What does the second sister mean by this?"

First, I talked about His Highness Prince Yao, and then asked her about her marriage. Anyone who heard it would be hard-pressed not to think of her marriage to Prince Yao, right?

Wan Sihe said as expected: "I came here this time to ask the third sister what she thinks of His Highness Prince Yao?"

"Second sister, be careful what you say."

Wan Siqing stood up suddenly and looked out the door in a panic.

Wan Sihe: "Don't worry, sister. When I came in just now, I asked the people waiting outside the door to leave."

When she said this, Wan Siqing did not show her face. She twisted her delicate eyebrows and said: "Second sister, Prince Yao is a foreigner and I have never met him. You'd better not involve us together." ”

If she hadn't been friends with Wan Sihe and knew that Wan Sihe was not that kind of person, Wan Siqing would have been angry.

She was a girl in the boudoir, and Wan Sihe brought up Prince Yao to argue with her. If someone accidentally overheard this, her reputation would be ruined.

Seeing her like this, Wan Sihe stood up with a smile, took her hand and sat down, patting the back of her hand gently: "Good sister, do you think I am the kind of person who randomly talks nonsense and ruins people's reputations? Although you and I are not We live in the same room, but we grew up together. Don’t you still know what I am like?”

"You also know that my father and mother chose a marriage for me. It was a marriage. I have an engagement with him and we meet occasionally."

Wan Sihe's marriage was actually not hers at first.

Mr. Wan valued a candidate who came to the capital to take the exam. He felt that he was as talented and considerate as himself, and wanted to marry Wan Siyuan, his beloved daughter.

But he had a good idea, how could Wan Siyuan and Mrs. Wan agree.

Mr. Wan does not pay attention to his daughter's husband's status. He thinks that if a woman wants to live a harmonious life, she must marry at a low age, so that her husband's family will not dare to look down on her and treat her well. In addition, this move can only be learned, even if the family is poor at the beginning. After a while, wouldn’t it be better to wait until the election of officials?

But Wan Siyuan and Mrs. Wan were determined to marry into a high family. After the two of them jointly convinced Mr. Wan, they pushed Wan Sihe out because Mr. Wan had already told others to marry their daughter.

After all, a concubine is also a daughter, and if Lord Wan is a fifth-rank official, marrying a concubine to a nobleman is not considered an insult to the other party.

Although no one asked her opinion from the beginning to the end, Wan Sihe and her aunt were still happy after knowing the news.

They knew that although Mr. Wan did not have access to the back house, he loved Wan Siyuan and the husband he found for her would definitely be good. In this way, Wan Sihe would have missed something, and she and her aunt had been worried about her before. My wife was trying to figure out my marriage, so I found someone who looked good on the surface but was actually crooked.

After all, this is Madam Wan's specialty.

For example, on the surface, she was affectionate to Wan Siqing and treated her as her own daughter, but in fact, she let Wan Siqing embroider every day without worrying about what would happen if she suffered from eye problems.

On the surface, she acted like a legitimate mother to Wan Sihe, a concubine, and seemed to love her very much. In fact, she and her aunt had to be careful every step they took in the back house, otherwise Mrs. Wan would catch her. ", and went to cry to Mr. Wan again.

Therefore, after picking up this husband, Wan Sihe cherished it very much. Both of them were married to each other's parents, so they could move around. She always sewed some needlework and gave it to her future husband.

She had heard about some of the things outside the house from her future husband and then told Wan Siqing.

This time, naturally, it is the same.

Wan Sihe carefully put his ear to Wan Siqing's ear and whispered: "You also know that Ren Langjun is going to take the exam this year. There is a forest near the small courtyard where he rents. He always goes there to enjoy the flowers. King Yao His Highness discovered this place by chance and went there, and the two got to know each other."

"His Royal Highness Yao Wang never puts on airs. He drank with Ren Langjun several times and accidentally found out that he was my future husband. So he asked him to help ask who the girl from the Wan family who went to the temple to offer incense a few days ago was. , He said he wanted to marry me, and I wanted him to ask me if the girl would marry him. "

After Wan Sihe finished speaking in a low voice, she sat up straight, looked at Wan Siqing who had a look of disbelief on her face, and patted her sleeve lightly with envy:

"That day, the eldest sister was sick in the house, but I was not sick. But when the lady saw that the eldest sister could not go, she kept me here. Only you accompanied the grandmother and madam to burn incense. I am not talking about you, but also Anyone."

Even though Wan Sihe said it clearly, Wan Siqing still felt as if he was hallucinating.

She was a girl after all. After listening, she stammered and asked: "Second sister, you, you mean, King Yao...?"

"Exactly."

Wan Sihe couldn't help laughing and covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "His Royal Highness Prince Yao wants to marry you, third sister."

Wan Siqing still looked confused.

Want to marry... her?

But how is this possible?

In terms of appearance, she is not as gorgeous as her eldest sister.

In terms of gentleness and knowledge, she is not as virtuous as her second sister.

But King Yao actually took a fancy to her?

Seeing her in a daze, Wan Sihe thought Wan Siqing didn't want this marriage. She sighed and held Wan Siqing's hand:

"I know that although His Royal Highness Prince Yao is a prince, he has a disease in his legs and is much older than you. You are also a young girl, so naturally you feel a little repelled. But I came to tell the third sister about this because I want to Your mother will take care of your marriage, she..."

After all, she was her legitimate mother. Even if there was no one, Wan Sihe would not dare to say bad things. She could only say vaguely: "Although His Royal Highness Prince Yao is not a powerful prince, he is still your Majesty's biological uncle, and he wants to marry his sister as his concubine." , he has never had a wife or heirs before, and Ren Langjun told me that His Royal Highness Prince Yao’s leg disease is not incurable. Third sister, when I tell you this, you have to think about it carefully. After all, at the time The relationship between mother and second aunt is not very harmonious, so I’m afraid she won’t care too much about your marriage. If you can like His Highness Prince Yao, that would be great.”

Both of them knew that Mrs. Wan was more than careless. Just because she was trying her best to make Wan Siqing suffer, and she could only grit her teeth and swallow it down her throat, it was obvious that she had no regard for Wan Siqing. The orphan girl showed no pity at all, and even harbored full malice towards Wan Siqing because of her deceased mother.

Mrs. Wan is still Wan Siqing's elder, and she is the aunt who "raised" her after her parents died. Even if she notices something, she cannot say anything, otherwise she will be accused of being unfilial.

Wan Siqing's life in the mansion is so miserable now. If she really leaves the marriage to Mrs. Wan, waiting for Wan Siqing's marriage will probably be uncomfortable on the surface but not beautiful on the inside, or uncomfortable on the outside and inside.

Wan Siqing knew that her second sister was right, but she always felt unreal.

Why did King Yao want to ask to marry her after going to the incense?

She lowered her eyes and tried to calm herself down: "But if that's really the case, His Highness Prince Yao could just go and propose marriage. Why do you have to ask the second sister to ask me."

"Ren Langjun said that although His Royal Highness Prince Yao is a prince, he has leg problems and has no real power. I'm afraid that if you don't want to accept it, Third Sister, if he really proposes a marriage to our house, there will be no change in the matter. That’s why he asked me to ask Third Sister.”

After saying that, Wan Sihe said again: "Third sister, don't worry, His Highness Prince Yao is not magnanimous. Even if you don't agree, he won't say anything, and Ren Langjun guarantees that not a word will be spread. , I don’t need you to worry, there won’t be any rumors outside whether this matter succeeds or not.”

Wan Siqing's mind was in a mess.

She lost her parents when she was young and became an orphan. She seemed to be well-dressed and well-fed in this house, but in fact she was exhausted every day. She wanted to rest, copied endless scriptures, and even needed to embroider the scriptures stitch by stitch. Wen, she had no time to think about anything else.

Now the second sister suddenly told her that King Yao admired her, and the girl was completely confused.

She couldn't help but think about what kind of person Yao Wang was?

What does he look like? I love reading and have a good temper?

But if I ask her to reply, she won't be able to reply.

If it is true that as the second sister said, King Yao wants to marry her as his princess, can she really do it as an orphan?

Wan Siqing was in a state of confusion. She looked down at the scriptures embroidered stitch by stitch in her hand, but she couldn't continue embroidering them.

Wan Sihe asked her: "Third sister, what do you think?"

"I-I don't know."

"Too."

Seeing that she couldn't answer, Wan Sihe looked hurried and flustered, so he reached out and took the needle and thread from her hand, and helped her embroider:

"When my father said that he would marry me to Ren Langjun, I was very panicked and didn't know what to do. Third sister, please think carefully. You are not yet old anyway, so you are not in a hurry."

Wan Siqing nodded blankly, looking down at the empty ground.

King Yao...

What kind of person is he?

****

"Your Highness is truly a talented and learned man!"

After finishing the meal, Master Wan took Duan Qingen to continue the discussion. The more they discussed, the more they wanted to make His Royal Highness Prince Yao his confidant.

Duan Qing'en showed the same thing. He looked at Lord Wan with full admiration: "Your Excellency, you can be said to be talented and learned. What does this idea mean to me? Sir, you are so knowledgeable. Sitting in this position is hiding it." "You."

"Hey, where can I find it?"

No one likes to be praised, at least Mr. Wan was very happy when he was praised.

He waved his hands cheerfully: "I have been an official for a long time, and only the prince has praised me like this."

"That's because others don't have the discerning eye of my king."

Duan Qingen waved his sleeves, and a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face:

"Your Excellency is so knowledgeable that I wish I could never leave and stay here to discuss it with you."

Master Wan waved his hand: "Where is it?"

He is very humble on the face and happy in his heart.

The prince in a wheelchair said: "My lord, this calligraphy treasure can be taken away by Xiao Wang, and he can go back and enjoy it."

Master Wan: "Okay, okay."

Duan Qingen: "And the words you mentioned just now, Xiao Wang also wants to take them away."

Master Wan stroked his beard and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay."

Duan Qingen handed over his hand again:

"Do you have an unmarried daughter in your residence? The little king doesn't have a princess yet. If he does, he wants to marry the girl in your residence. In the future, you and I will be the husband-in-law, and so will the king. Get closer to adults.”

Master Wan: "Can you...ah??"

He was still confused, but the handsome prince sitting in the wheelchair handed over his hand again with a face full of joy:

"Thank you for your permission, sir!"
