Chapter 228 Marriage!
Upon hearing this, Yue Jinshan was frightened and his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.
He stumbled and said, "Greetings, hello, greetings to the Queen, Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Little Princess, the Little Prince, and the two Young Masters..."
"Slave...slave, slave Yue Jinshan, Shan..."
It was the first time Mingyue saw him like this. After all, he was once a bandit leader, so how could he become a coward?
Jiang Mengrou was also surprised. This Jinding steward used to be very tough and well-spoken. Could it be that something big happened at home today? She said, "Yue Jinshan, I remember you. What do you want today?"
"I, this, this servant..." Yue Jinshan was incoherent and looked up at his mistress as if asking for help, "Miss!"
Seeing Mingyue still confused, Yue Jinshan whispered, "Miss, Miss, Yunying~"
"Oh oh oh oh!" Mingyue slapped her forehead and suddenly realized that she had actually forgotten about this!
Hearing the word "Yunying", Jiang Mengrou asked her master to turn around, as if she had guessed something. It must be her forgetful little girl who agreed to ask for someone else but never gave a reply.
Before Mingyue could speak, she sent Yue Jinshan away. "Mingyue has already told me about that matter. You can go down first. I haven't made up my mind yet."
"Hey hey hey hey," Yue Jinshan had no choice but to respond quickly and left quite quickly.
Seeing that he had disappeared, Mingyue quickly had the door closed and ran to her mother, "Mother, how did you know? Did you receive the letter?"
Jiang Mengrou shook her head. "No, when did you send the letter?"
"Just ten days ago?" Mingyue turned to look at Zhizhi in confusion, asking her for confirmation. Zhizhi nodded repeatedly.
"Oh, it was probably stopped by your uncle. He had already heard the news that we were returning to Beijing. He was probably afraid that your letter would be missed." After Jiang Mengrou finished speaking, she asked someone to bring a stack of letters. These were all letters sent to her by people in Beijing during this period, and they were all intercepted by Jiang Hetang's people.
Without even turning the pages, Jiang Mengrou knew that Mingyue's letter was in the middle. No one knows a brother better than his sister. Jiang Hetang has liked this since he was a child.
Even though her daughter was in front of her, she still took out the letter with great joy and read it line by line. After all, every time she received a letter from her daughter during the year she was away, it was the greatest comfort.
After reading it, she continued to search in the envelope, "This is the letter, right?" Jiang Mengrou took out the "marriage proposal" letter that Yue Jinshan asked Mingyue to pass on.
"The handwriting is pretty good. It seems that the person has been educated." Yuan Tianzhen was a little surprised to see that the big characters on the envelope were written with some skill. The man just now looked like a rough man, but he had such beautiful handwriting. It really shows that you can't judge a book by its cover.
The three women gathered together to watch. Although Mingyue had already peeked at it earlier, watching it now had a different meaning.
"Where is Yunying? What does she mean?" Yunying had caught a cold recently and did not come to Jinding with them, so Jiang Mengrou could only ask Mingyue.
Mingyue recounted the story of Yue Jinshan and Yunying's early love to Jiang Mengrou and Yuan Tianzhen, making them laugh. "I didn't expect Yunying, who has seen so many stories about men and women, could still be controlled by this innocent little man."
"Who says it's not true? Over the years, dozens, if not a hundred, of people have asked me about Yunying's marriage. There are even some minor officials who want to take advantage of this opportunity to rise to the top." Yuan Tianzhen still remembers Yunying's firm look when he asked her about it. "When I asked her what she thought, she told me to refuse everything. I thought she would serve you and your daughter for the rest of her life."
And this? Mingyue usually hangs around the palace, so how could she be so out of touch with the news? She narrowed her eyes and walked towards Taotao. Taotao turned her head away guiltily and muttered softly, "Miss, it was our aunt who told us not to tell."
Forget it, I won’t bother with them.
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside. Before the person entered the door, a voice came in first, "Madam! Madam!"
It turned out that Yunying was wrapped up thickly, wearing two layers of masks, and came in the wind and snow. When she saw Jiang Mengrou, she knelt down straight.
Jiang Mengrou immediately stepped forward to help her up, and the two hugged each other tightly. Although they were master and servant in name, they were more than sisters. Yunying cried with joy, "Madam! You are finally back!"
"Yunying." Jiang Mengrou said with a hint of tears in her voice, "I was just talking about you, and here you are."
The two of them supported each other and sat down. Yunying sat on the embroidered cushion and Jiang Mengrou held her hand.
Yuan Tianzhen continued the conversation to liven up the atmosphere, "Yunying, do you know who was here just now?"
Yunying was a little confused and shook her head. "I don't know. I just heard from my little friend that the princess and the general had secretly returned to the capital."
Mingyue: Xiao Mazi is such a big sieve.
"However, Xiao Mazi told this to the slave in secret. He also knew the slave's friendship with the queen. Others were completely unaware of it."
Yuan Tianzhen and Jiang Mengrou naturally knew this. After all, Xiao Mazi was one of the lucky ones chosen by Mingyue among the various palace maids and eunuchs who were selected by the royal family since birth and trained to be Mingyue's entourage.
Jiang Mengrou covered her mouth and stuffed the letter on the table into her arms, "Why don't you take a look at it yourself?"
Yunying was suddenly stuffed with two pages of densely written letter paper, and she almost couldn't hold it. When she looked at it carefully, she was so embarrassed that her face turned red like a monkey's butt.
Seeing this reaction, everyone could see that although the matter was settled, Yue Jinshan would still have to worry and be anxious for a few more days, to let him know that Yunying was not so easy to marry.
As a result, a nice winter day was turned into a scorching sun by Yue Jinshan. He was so anxious that he had several blisters in his mouth and could not sleep at night.
He even dared not come to the courtyard to serve, and only paced back and forth outside. Especially when he learned that Yunying had also come to Jinding, he became even more anxious. On the one hand, he was worried about whether her body was fully recovered, and on the other hand, he was still looking forward to seeing Yunying from a distance from time to time.
All of these were conveyed by the secret guards outside.
Yuan Tianzhen sighed, "Oh, love is better when it is the same as it was at the beginning, not like now..." Before she finished speaking, she was picked up by Jiang Hetang, who was drunk but walked very steadily.
She exclaimed, "Hey! What are you doing!"
"What am I doing? Of course I'm letting you experience the original appearance of love~" Jiang Hetang was drunk, but he still didn't forget to be sarcastic.
Mingyue covered her eyes, leaving a small gap to watch the scene secretly, feeling so sweet in her heart.
While playing with Huarong Dao, Xiao Huan always paid attention to whether the water in Mingyue's small teacup had cooled down.
Zhao Yunshan was drunk and Jiang Mengrou couldn't sit there any longer. She and the servants cleaned him up and carried him to the bed.
From time to time, you can hear a sentence, "Madam, I love you so much."
"Madam, our Mingyue will never marry!"
"Madam, I'm so sleepy~"
Mingyue was so tired of holding back her laughter that she rolled around on the bed. Huan Ge'er looked at the cats and dogs "fighting" on the floor and his sister laughing on the bed. Although it was a cold winter day, his heart was filled with satisfaction.
