Seeing Mu Shaoqin's melancholy expression after giving away the bow, Hui Niang said distressedly, "If you really can't bear to part with it, I'll go and ask for it back. Before they leave, just say I'm not happy, okay?"

His wife is always like this, willing to do anything for him, even if she knows it will be embarrassing. Mu Shaoqin smiled movedly, but said, "How can you get something back after giving it away? Forget it, give it to him.

Bar."

Nianfu felt like a mirror in his heart. Dad gave the ancestral items to him because he wanted to create a good relationship with himself.

No matter how arrogant Gongsun Hong is, the Gongsun family is indeed sincere in asking for marriage. It is different from Chai Rong who has ulterior motives and Lin Huaian who wants to repay his kindness. Their family really wants to get married.

Now that I have been rejected, I naturally have to make some amends.

Moreover, Ouyang Kang's family background was humble. If he wanted to walk in the court in the future, it would not be a good thing to offend the Gongsun family, which has deep roots. Even if he didn't say it, he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. Therefore, Mu Shaoqin must do it with

Such generous gifts can be regarded as indirectly making amends for the daughter and son-in-law.

Nianfu had nothing to say, he could only make a promise, "Dad, I will definitely earn more and better things for our family in the future!"

Hearing his daughter's words, Mu Shaoqin felt extremely at ease. He wanted to invite all the guests to have dinner before leaving, but everyone was not a shy person. Seeing that his new son-in-law was announced, he naturally had a lot of business to attend to.

They discussed it, took the gifts, and then resigned one after another.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone suddenly reported someone coming from the palace.

Not daring to greet him carelessly, it turned out that the most important eunuch around the emperor, Cheng Ping, came in person. The smiling orderer brought dozens of people carrying the royal banquet, and an imperial edict.

"Hearing that the princess has chosen a husband as she pleases, the emperor issued an order to grant a royal banquet in the palace, and to grant the princess seven counties in Jiashan as a fief."

Wow! This time, no matter what, everyone insisted on staying for a wedding drink.

Generally, the counties of the princess are divided according to households, and the title rarely corresponds to the place name. This is a treatment that only the princess can enjoy, but now the emperor has generously given it to this cousin, so I can't help but celebrate.

Now some people have an epiphany. No wonder the princess had made such a big contribution in disaster relief. The emperor didn't mention a reward or two. It turned out that it had been planned long ago and was waiting here.

But the honor that the emperor intends to give to his cousin goes beyond this, and the rest will not be revealed for the time being. But the current situation has made everyone re-evaluate the Jiashan Princess.

In a society where monarchy is paramount, being able to gain the emperor's attention and favor is a reflection of a person's greatest ability.

For example, Su Cheng, although he did not hold a high official position, had a vicious tongue, and offended people everywhere, no one dared to look down on him, because he was someone the emperor really valued.

As for Mu Shaoqin, although he relied on his own status to win the favor, it was extremely important for him to be low-key and be a good person. Now, there is another Princess Jiashan. With his true ability, he has been taken seriously by the emperor. This is his ability.

.

A good pregnancy can only guarantee you good luck for more than ten years at most. If you have the ability to maintain this honor, you will be lucky for the rest of your life.

No matter how many books Nianfu has read or how many aristocratic etiquette she knows, she can win the emperor's attention. It will win her more respect. Even if the husband she chooses is from a humble background, no one dares to say anything behind her back.

Four.

What's more, Ouyang Kang still has such a master, how could Su Cheng be willing to let his apprentice be second to others for a long time?

For a moment, the old lady felt that the noble ladies who came with Princess Yongning were all very polite to her. Of course, the old lady who had gone through many vicissitudes of life would not lament the harshness of the world, because this is life. And she had no doubt that with the passing of her grandson,

As she grows up, she will win more respect.

After the lively banquet, the foreign guests were sent away, and then it was time for our own people to talk.

After a busy day, everyone was very tired, but Mu Shaoqin asked the old lady Su Cheng to discuss the engagement.

Nianfu obediently stepped away and took the initiative to roll up his sleeves and go to the kitchen to make sweet soup. He usually didn't eat well at banquets, especially as the host and future host.

Mu Shaoqin was in poor health and had a high status. No one dared to drink from him, but Su Cheng drank a lot just now. This was also paving the way for his apprentice, which was inevitable.

Nianfu felt sorry for his parents, and naturally he also felt sorry for Su Cheng. So he planned to cook a few bowls of sweet soup that could be cooked quickly to make up for them.

Before leaving, he glanced at Ouyang Kang and signaled that he could follow her. Unexpectedly, Ouyang became more reserved now that she had a reputation. He refused to hang out with her at such a good opportunity, and instead asked to go to the study room of Prince Ping's Mansion to see her.

look.

When did a few shabby books become unreadable? She wasn't married yet, so why did she start to change? Nianfu rolled his eyes angrily and went to cook.

But Young Master Ouyang, who went to the study not long ago, actually asked someone to bring a small note, "If our love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night?"

Now that the identity of the unmarried couple has been decided, the servants are naturally very discerning and help to bridge the gap. Nianfu accepted the small note and felt relieved.

Yes, there are still many days to come, so why rush for this moment? Right now, someone is still under investigation, so keep a low profile and be careful to keep a low profile.

After a short time, several bowls of tailor-made sweet soup were served to everyone.

The old lady and grandma and grandpa are getting old and have bad gastrointestinal problems. They drink a bowl of pumpkin and tuckahoe sweet soup, which is nourishing and sweet.

Dad and Su Cheng both drank wine. They drank kumquat sweet soup to relieve tiredness and refresh themselves. Mom and she drank water chestnut lily soup to moisturize and relieve dryness, calming down the internal heat that had been pent up for the whole day. There was also a bowl of walnut milk to drink alone.

Someone in the library made it specially.

He was physically and mentally exhausted after taking the exam for a day, and he was young and strong, so he needed some high-protein protein to replenish energy. Of course, Nianfu also forgot to give his cousin Shigui a bowl. He was growing taller and also needed nutritional guarantee.

Everyone who received the love candy was very satisfied, especially Ouyang Kang, who pretended to read a book, but actually wanted to hide in a quiet place to take a breather. My father-in-law's three questions were not easy to answer, and he was really tired.

There was nothing to eat raw at the banquet, and I felt even less energetic.

Fortunately, his family was thoughtful and thoughtful. When they sent him walnut milk, they also brought him a plate of matcha bean paste rolls. It was fragrant and delicious. After Ouyang Kang wiped it all away, he finally felt that he had regained some vitality. He began to eat slowly.

Wandering around in the study.

The Mu family used to have a library, which contained precious books that had been preserved for hundreds of years. However, this kind of thing was the most difficult to preserve, and most of it was destroyed during the war.

Especially after Mu Shaoqin became blind, the emperor was too embarrassed to return some rare books to him, so as not to irritate him. Therefore, the huge Prince Ping's mansion could not even fill a five-room study. It really didn't look like a noble family.

Looks like a wealthy family.

But even so, the quantity and quality of the books in Prince Ping's Mansion amazed Ouyang Kang, a bumpkin from the countryside. But right now, he was not interested in reading those tomes. Instead, he was comparing some easy-to-understand books with pictures and paintings.

interested in.

When he read an ancient geography of mountains and rivers, he was a little confused. He had walked through the places recorded in the book when he went to Beijing, but that place was no longer what it is today.

"Brother-in-law, cousin-in-law."

The woman called out softly twice before Ouyang Kang reacted. He looked up and saw a beauty in a pink shirt standing in front of him. She held a lacquer plate, put a cup of tea and snacks on it, and smiled.

Ouyang Kang stood up quickly and said, "Hello, Miss Kang."

But Kang Jierong covered her mouth and smiled softly, "Brother-in-law, why do you have to be so polite? We are a family now, you can just call me Sister Rong."

Ouyang Kang was a little hesitant, thinking that this was too private. Not to mention that he was not someone else’s brother-in-law. Even if he was someone else’s brother-in-law, how could he call his aunt by her maiden name?

Seeing that he didn't answer, Kang Jierong personally held the tea in front of him and smiled considerately. "Brother-in-law has been busy all day and must be thirsty. Let's have a sip of tea and try the snacks I made."

Uh... Ouyang Kang took the snacks, but put them aside, and said truthfully, "I just ate the snacks your cousin sent me, and I can't eat them yet. I appreciate your cousin's kindness. I'll leave this aside and I'll take my time later."

eat."

The smile on Kang Jierong's face paused, and then she lowered her eyes with a hint of disappointment, "My cousin's craftsmanship is naturally incomparable to mine. If my brother-in-law doesn't like it, then forget it."

Most people, especially men, will feel soft-hearted if they see a girl looking so pitiful. Even if she can't eat, she still has to force herself to take a few bites.

But Young Master Ouyang is not an ordinary man.

Because he was abused by his aunt and cousin Cui Qi since childhood, and now by Su Cheng, Young Master Ouyang has developed a strong immunity to all external appearances.

The beauty in pink is gone in a blink of an eye. This is not a joke, it must be kept in mind.

Especially since he himself is beautiful enough, how can those creatures whose beauty value is far lower than him arouse his interest? Unless they are women like grandmother and Nianfu who are in his heart, no matter what other women are in front of him

Ouyang Kang was completely indifferent to how pitiful and pitiful she was, even the pear blossoms and the rain.

Even after listening to Kang Jierong's words, I felt a little relaxed. He followed her words and said, "It's not that I don't like what you made, but I really can't eat it. Why don't you give it to others to avoid wasting it."

Kang Jierong was silent and squeezed out her red eyes, "Brother-in-law, why don't you just take a bite? I worked so hard to make it."

Sorry, Ouyang didn't feel that way. Instead, he felt that she was a little annoyed, "I sincerely accept my cousin's kindness, but I really can't eat it."

Kang Jierong wanted to say something else, but Nianfu came. She quickly collected the tea and said, "Since my brother-in-law can't eat it, let's forget it. You guys talk, I'll leave first."

Nianfu glanced at her and felt confused, "What is she doing here?"

Ouyang Kang spread his hands and said, "I'll give you food. But I won't eat what others make. If I want to eat, I'll only eat what you make."

She glanced at him while reading blessings, but her heart was filled with little sweetness, and she said, "Let's go, your family is leaving. Take whatever book you want to read back and read it."

Ouyang Kang only let the servants take the book in his hand and leave first, deliberately lagging two steps behind her. Nianfu thought he had something private to say, but unexpectedly he suddenly looked up and said, "There is something I have to tell you."

Let’s discuss it.”
