Chapter 86 God-like speed

Although, Fu Changxi had already said before he left, that the next day someone would come to propose a marriage.

But the Zhen family didn't expect that the eldest Princess Huiguo would come to the door the next day.

Pei Shi, who thought she was fully prepared, heard that it was the eldest princess of Huiguo, and she was somewhat embarrassed. She quickly called someone to call Zhen Tingyun. Although it is said that this kind of engagement is not good Calling a girl like Zhen Tingyun who has not left the cabinet to participate, but the eldest princess Huiguo has come in person, she will definitely come out to greet her and give people a glimpse.

However, Zhen Tingyun brought Mrs. Zhen in by the way.

Seeing Mrs. Pei, she frowned slightly—she didn't let Mrs. Zhen go out, not all because of the problems between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, but mainly because Mrs. Zhen didn't know the rules of Beijing, and didn't know how to communicate. On the face of the Zhen family.

Zhen Tingyun naturally saw Pei's dislike, so he explained warmly: "Mother, the eldest princess must know about our family's affairs. She came here in person this time, showing her sincerity. If we don't show up, it would be too rude for our family. If the eldest princess doesn't care about it, it's fine.

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Pei nodded reluctantly, and then specifically told Madam Zhen: "The eldest princess Huiguo has a noble status, if you have anything to say, mother, you must go through it in your heart first. "

Actually, apart from seeing Fu Changxi, the regent who had no identity on the road, the identity of the eldest princess of Huiguo was something that old lady Zhen never dared to think about in the past. Suddenly, she was going to go out to meet such a big man. She was still a little worried. panic.

After she came to Beijing, she didn't go out to socialize very much. She just stayed in her own courtyard, living her own comfortable life, and she never thought about going out to cause trouble for her son.

However, Zhen Tingyun personally came to her courtyard to invite her, and said, "This is a major event in my life, and my grandmother has to check it out for me." Even though Mrs. Zhen was in a panic, she must still hold on to it. , I came with my granddaughter to have a look.

Seeing Mrs. Pei's suspicious gaze at this moment, Madam Zhen's guilty conscience was overwhelmed, she became energetic, pouted her lips, and hummed, "I'm not a child, I still use you for this matter. Come to teach?!"

As Mrs. Zhen said this, she also encouraged herself in her heart: she has also met the Prince Regent, and is about to become a princess and grandmother, but she can't be frightened by this little thing.

Therefore, when she saw the eldest princess Huiguo, Mrs. Zhen's face was quite stable.

The eldest princess Huiguo had already checked the matter of the Zhen family, and naturally she knew that Mrs. Zhen was just a village woman, but seeing her neither humble nor arrogant now looked a little higher, and secretly said: A young widow can raise a son of a scholar. , and even bringing out a granddaughter like Zhen Tingyun, she still has some ability.

Of course, when Princess Huiguo came here, she still put more of her thoughts on Zhen Tingyun. When she turned her eyes to Zhen Tingyun, there seemed to be a smile on her always cold and reserved face.

In fact, Zhen Tingyun had met each other twice before, once at the lotus banquet and once in the palace. In these two occasions, the eldest princess of Huiguo was covered in silk and jewels. She was noble but not arrogant, reserved but not rude. She almost matched most people's imaginations of princesses.

However, this time, the eldest Princess Huiguo was more like an elder. She smiled and watched Zhen Tingyun come forward. Beside him, he looked and smiled: "I just said, Chang Xi's vision will never be wrong again. I have seen so many girls, but I have never seen such a painful one..."

Zhen Tingyun was very self-aware. Hearing Princess Huiguo's undisguised praise, he only felt his face get hot and bowed his head slightly.

A girl of this age has white skin, like snow and jade, and a little rosy color is the best color.

When Princess Huiguo saw it, she liked it even more in her heart, but she felt that Zhen Tingyun was too young—this girl was not even close to her hair, she was delicate and tender, and her face was very thin. Even if the eldest princess of Huiguo is partial to her younger brother, she has to admit: with Fu Changxi's age and experience, this is almost an old cow eating tender grass...

However, after so many years, only one Zhen Tingyun could make him think of getting married.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess Huiguo was no longer picky, but instead pulled Zhen Tingyun to ask many questions, such as what do you like to do in ordinary times, and whether you are tired of studying in the women's school, etc.

Zhen Tingyun naturally responded one by one.

Princess Huiguo was very satisfied, she raised her hand and stroked her temples, and finally set aside a little time to talk to Mrs. Pei: "In the past, I often heard people talk about the name of your eldest girl, I see you today. Only then did Sister Ting know that there is more than one talented girl in your house, so it can be seen that she has a family background and she has been raised with care."

Mrs. Pei felt her face getting hot when she said this. After all, Zhen Tingyun grew up with Mrs. Zhen in the countryside since she was a child. If she really wanted to say "the origin of family education" or "careful education", Mrs. Pei's mother was really a little worried. I can't afford it. Even Pei's family had some doubts that the eldest princess Huiguo wanted to ridicule her by saying this at this time - after all, as the eldest princess of Huiguo, I am afraid that she already knew how Zhen Tingyun grew up.

However, even if she suspected that the eldest Princess Huiguo was sarcasm, Mrs. Pei had to smile, as if she didn't hear anything, just nodded: "It's also that she works hard and is eager to learn, we parents can't really help much. ."

Princess Huiguo praised Zhen Tingyun very much along the way.

Zhen Tingyun was a little shy at first, but after hearing it, he felt that the person who Princess Huiguo was talking about was not her at all, so he slowly got used to it.

Speaking of which, Zhen Tingyun can be considered to have seen a few royal ladies. Empress Dowager Zheng is so beautiful but she hides a knife in a smile. Princess Yan is dignified and elegant, and has a bit of talent. The princess is graceful and dignified. When she treats people coldly and is stingy with words, others will only think that she is reserved and noble. If she is willing to speak, her voice is light, her words are sincere, and her words are generous. It can put people off guard.

It was Mrs. Zhen who was a little terrified at first, but she let go of it as she talked, and also told the eldest princess Huiguo some interesting things about Zhen Tingyun's childhood, laughing from time to time.

The eldest princess Huiguo also wanted to know more about Zhen Tingyun - Fu Changxi has been a bachelor for so many years, and it is difficult to get a wife. As a sister, she does not choose her family, appearance or even age. She always needs to know something about each other. character.

Therefore, the eldest princess of Huiguo intended to entice the old lady Zhen to talk more, and when she heard about Zhen Tingyun's one, two, three or four things in that hour, she finally got to the topic: "What happened at the palace banquet yesterday, You must all know it. Changxi means: Now the Beiman envoy is still in the capital, this matter should be settled earlier, so as not to provoke criticism. As my elder sister, I have the audacity to beg him. In this matter, I personally come to the house to ask for the Geng Tie of the second girl in the house."

Mr. Pei had been prepared for this, and naturally there was nothing wrong.

In this way, the two sides handed in the Geng Tie, Princess Huiguo carefully looked at the Geng Tie in her hand, she was very satisfied, and said warmly: "I know that Ting Yun has not yet reached the age of 笄, and is still studying. I will ask Qin Tian to calculate the auspicious day in two years, and when Tingyun graduates from school, she will be able to get married."

Pei Shi originally thought that the regent must be in a hurry to marry a wife at such an age, but he didn't expect that Fu Changxi actually gave him two years, so he couldn't help but say, "That's great."

With these two years, at least I can find a good marriage for the eldest daughter Zhen Yiyun, and it is also convenient to prepare a dowry for the younger daughter. Originally, when Zhen Tingyun was admitted to the women's school, she just asked for that Zhuangzi from her. At that time, I was angry in my heart, thinking that since she had such an idea, she would save the effort of adding a dowry to her in the future as a mother. However, the youngest daughter unexpectedly climbed up to the regent. This marriage was originally a high climb. Naturally, Mrs. Pei did not dare to use a Zhuangzi or a shop to fool people. ......

However, although the family has lost half of their wealth at the moment, but the Zhen family has a princess, how can the meaning of this be measured by money?

Pei's calculation was very clear, and he valued this marriage very much in his heart, and he was naturally even more happy when he got Princess Huiguo's words.

Here, the eldest princess Huiguo left happily with Geng Tie, while Pei sent Mrs. Zhen back to the courtyard to rest, and asked someone to prepare a car, saying that she was going to take Zhen Tingyun to Pei's house. She is quite affectionate with her daughter now, so she has to explain carefully to Zhen Tingyun: "Thanks to your grandmother who came back with the news yesterday, the whole family was prepared, so that I didn't lose face in front of the regent. It's just that this kind of thing happened. Your grandmother, aunt, and the others have nothing to worry about, since the matter is settled now, you still have to go over and talk to them so that they can rest assured."

Of course, Mrs. Pei also wanted to take her daughter back to her parents' home to show off. Although Father Zhen has been down-to-earth and has risen step by step over the years, his career has been smooth, but the Zhen family is not as good as the Pei family. When a girl returns to her mother's house, she can always easily perceive the gap, and she doesn't dare to put on the air of a little girl to her mother's sister-in-law. Now that the marriage of her daughter and the regent has been decided, she can be proud of being a mother.

Zhen Tingyun didn't want to go, just thinking about the care of Mrs. Pei before and after the palace banquet, he still nodded.

So, Mrs Pei happily took her daughter to Pei's house.

On this day, Mrs. Pei was all there. Except for Pei Rusong, the eldest grandson, he was too lazy to care about the younger generation in the family. Just after hearing about the Prince Regent and Zhen Tingyun, Mrs. Pei recalled the incomprehensible behavior of the Prince Regent earlier, and realized it in an instant.

Therefore, when heard that daughter brought her granddaughter, Mrs. Pei had to take the time to meet him, and he had to take a few words from Mrs. Pei and tell her to go back to the backyard first.

Then, Mrs. Pei said a few words to Zhen Tingyun in a warm voice, and then suddenly smiled: "When Mingzhu asked for your exam certificate, it was thanks to the Prince Regent that I came to know about it. Teach your mother a lesson."

Grandpa Pei said this, naturally, not to take credit in front of his granddaughter. He was talking to Zhen Tingyun, his tone was the kindness and gentleness unique to the elder: "Tingyun, although I don't know about you and the regent, I can see that His Highness is really interested in you - even if it is In places you can't see, he has also spent a lot of thought and done a lot for you. I know that you are very different from the regent in terms of identity, age, and knowledge. Maybe there will be friction in the future, or Dispute. However, you have to remember that marriage is rare, and think about his heart for you. The most important thing for men and women to get along is to understand each other and trust each other. "

Zhen Tingyun nodded in agreement.

Grandpa Pei didn't say much, just waved his hand: "Okay, let's go to the backyard to meet your grandmother and aunt."

When Zhen Tingyun went to the backyard and met Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Pei Er, there was a lot of uproar in the backyard, and Mrs. Pei even pulled Pei Mingzhu up to apologize for the original certificate.

Zhen Tingyun had long forgotten about those and didn't care.

Mrs. Pei was relieved now, but on the face she was getting closer and closer.

After a lot of excitement, when Zhen Tingyun came back from Pei's house, it was going to get dark. Pei drank some wine and felt a little dizzy, leaning on the carriage to talk to her daughter: "Your eldest cousin will be in spring next year, I think it is very good, and it is also very suitable for your sister. You say, or I will Talk to your aunt about them? After all, they are cousins ​​and they got along well when they were young, so they will definitely not embarrass your big sister because of the surname Zou. Your grandmother and aunt have always loved her..."

The more Mr. Pei spoke, the more upside-down he was, and he wished that the carriage would be turned back to Pei's house immediately to settle the matter with Mrs. Pei.

Zhen Tingyun poured cold water on her: "My aunt has always been high-minded, so that's why the eldest cousin's marriage has been delayed until now. Otherwise, with the talent and appearance of the eldest cousin, how can you say that you are not close?"

Although this is euphemistic, it is also clear: I am afraid that Mrs. Pei will not look down on Zhen Yiyun.

When Pei heard the words, she felt suffocated. After a moment of silence, she raised her hand to lift the curtain of the car. The cool breeze of the night was blowing on her face. She was a little more awake, and she knew that the little daughter's words were not unreasonable - the relationship between the two families. , If Mrs. Pei was really interested, she would have said it long ago. However, Mrs. Pei still refused to admit defeat, so she couldn't help saying: "Now your marriage with the Prince Regent has been settled. Your sister is so handsome again, doesn't she like it?"

Zhen Tingyun said: "If aunt really only looks at power and status, wouldn't it be better for the small county master of Yanwang's mansion?"

Pei Shi paused, and was speechless.

Zhen Tingyun also found it boring to see Pei's appearance - the children are all good from her own family, so Mrs. Pei didn't look at Zhen Yiyun. She was married to Gongqinghou's mansion, and it was not until now that Zhen Yiyun's marriage was difficult, that she remembered her nephew... However, Zhen Yiyun probably didn't look down on Pei Rusong - after all, she is a modern person, and her close relatives are not married.

Thinking of this, Zhen Tingyun gave Pei Shi another step: "Otherwise, let's ask your sister about this first, right?"

"Yes." Mrs. Pei raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, her face was somewhat tired, "Your sister has always been high-minded, I think she still has some things that she can't let go of Prince Yan's mansion..."

Regarding Zhen Yiyun's ambition to be a queen, Zhen Tingyun was too lazy to say much, and only responded casually.

Pei thought for a while and didn't say any more.

********

After a few days at home like this, it was soon time to go to women's school.

Looking back on the few days of vacation, Zhen Tingyun felt that the world had changed too fast - the female school was given a five-day leave, but during these five days, she attended the palace banquet, was almost married to Beiman, knew that The identity of Fu Changxi and the marriage were decided...

Thinking of this, Zhen Tingyun felt a little dazed, as if he was dreaming, and was very uncomfortable.

Fu Changxi was quite used to it, since his and Zhen Tingyun's marriage had been decided, it wasn't a big deal to come and see the princess who had never been there. Moreover, whether it was his identity as the regent or Zhen Tingyun's future husband-in-law, the servants of the Zhen family did not dare to stop them, and immediately ran to invite their second girl out.

When Zhen Tingyun saw Fu Changxi's carriage parked in front of his house, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Fu Changxi saw that it was the same as in the past, and when he heard the footsteps, he took the initiative to lift the curtain of the car. Seeing that Zhen Tingyun was coming, he waved to her and said, "Come here."

Zhen Tingyun thought about it for a while, but it was over.

Fu Changxi pulled her into the carriage and said, "I know that you are going back to the women's school today, so I'll take you on a ride."

Zhen Tingyun looked at the man in front of him and remembered the things he concealed and deceived him, but he couldn't show a good face for a while.

Fu Changxi was in a good mood, and he didn't care about Zhen Tingyun's cold face. Instead, he instructed the servants of the Zhen family to take out all the things that Zhen Tingyun was going to take to the women's school and carry them along.

The servants did not dare to delay, fortunately, those things were packed out yesterday. At this time, after receiving the words of the regent, they immediately brought them out and put them on the carriage.

Zhen Tingyun was still struggling: "You don't need to send it, I'll go by myself."

Fu Changxi put all her baggage in the carriage, then sat down next to her, took her hand and rubbed it in his palm, his tone was rare and gentle: "We are all engaged, what does it matter if we give it away? Besides, you are going to go back to the women's school soon, and I don't know when the next vacation will be..."

"September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival." Zhen Tingyun suddenly interrupted his words.

"What?" Fu Changxi was stunned, and he didn't react.

Zhen Tingyun said: "The next replay is on September 9th."

Fu Changxi: "...Well, there should be a banquet in the palace by then, do you want me to take you there?"

Zhen Tingyun thought of Empress Dowager Zheng, and couldn't help shaking her head: "No need." Now she can almost guess the reason why Empress Dowager Zheng treated her badly, and naturally didn't want to make trouble for herself.

Seeing that she was still a little sullen, Fu Changxi couldn't help reaching out and poking her puffed cheeks. The fingertips felt soft and smooth, and his heart softened, his expression softened, and he asked with a smile, "Aren't you angry anymore?"

While speaking, Fu Changxi poked Zhen Tingyun's cheek again.

Because his nails have always been trimmed properly, it doesn't hurt to poke people's cheeks. Instead, he can feel the thin calluses on the pulp of his fingers, rubbing the delicate skin on his cheeks. It's a little itchy and numb. out feeling.

The little breath that Zhen Tingyun held back was like a punctured balloon, and it all dissipated at once. Suddenly she couldn't get angry, she stared at Fu Changxi with wide eyes, and said solemnly, "Then don't lie to me anymore."

Seeing her like this, Fu Changxi couldn't help but laugh for a while: "I don't dare - I just lied to you once, and I'm going to be angry for so long, but I don't dare to do it again."

Hearing this, Zhen Tingyun couldn't help but want to kick him againhe was "just cheating you once"? !

Unfortunately, before Zhen Tingyun mustered up the courage to kick again, the female student arrived.

Zhen Tingyun was about to pack his bags and get off the bus.

However, Fu Changxi held onto her hand and raised his eyebrows, implying to her: "We are all engaged, you can't just shake your hand and leave?"

Zhen Tingyun blinked his eyes and looked at him for unknown reasons, his eyes were black and white. She didn't respond for a while.

Fu Changxi raised his long eyebrows slightly, his handsome face reflected the golden sunlight penetrating the gap in the car curtain, his brows seemed to be dyed a little golden light, only his pupils were still black.

He stared at Zhen Tingyun, his thin lips raised slightly, and he asked shamelessly, "Would you like to kiss me?"

Zhen Tingyun really didn't expect that Fu Changxi could say such shameless words at the entrance of the women's school. She was stunned for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back, raised her foot and kicked him again.

Fu Changxi naturally didn't dodge anyway, Zhen Tingyun didn't give a damn, a kick would have been painless.

However, Zhen Tingyun didn't want to, and he didn't force it. He grabbed the little girl's soft and fair hand and thought for a while, and finally lowered his head and touched the white fingertips with his lips.

Zhen Tingyun stared at him with wide eyes.

Fu Changxi, however, let go of her hand as usual, and said as if nothing had happened: "Since you don't want to, then let me kiss you. Is this the boss?"

Although Fu Changxi only touched her fingertips with his lips, it wasn't even a kiss, but with his fingers connected to his heart, Zhen Tingyun only felt that the heart in his chest was still beating up, eagerly as if there were antlers on his heart. Even her snow-white cheeks were inevitably reddened.

At this moment, she was really speechless, she glared angrily, and hurriedly got out of the car with a blushing face.

When she got out of the car and lowered the curtain, she could faintly hear the muffled laughter from the carriage, which was a rare pleasure.

Zhen Tingyun pretended not to hear, and quickly entered the gate of the women's school.

Who knows, it's only been a few days since Zhen Tingyun, who was originally an influential figure in the school, became even more famous. As soon as she entered the door, many people quietly looked at her, whispered, and even came up to talk to her. Zhen Tingyun was very uncomfortable, and finally returned to the place where he lived, but even Du Qingqing looked at her in surprise, and said, "I thought you weren't coming!"

Zhen Tingyun was choked by her straightforward words, and couldn't help but ask, "Why don't I come?"

Du Qingqing scratched her hair and looked a little confused: "I heard people say that you are engaged to the Prince Regent. Many people say that you are going to be a princess soon, and you will definitely not come to school again."

Zhen Tingyun reminded her: "It's just an engagement." Moreover, she didn't understand the logical relationship between being a princess and not coming to school.

Du Qingqing's face flushed, and she said with sincerity, "That's amazing too."

After a pause, Du Qingqing couldn't help but think about it a little, tilted his head and whispered, "Speaking of which, there aren't many girls in our school who got engaged as early as you, right?"

Zhen Tingyun: "..."

Facing Du Qingqing's innocent and pure question, Zhen Tingyun was speechless for a while, and finally he had to take a deep breath, and honestly carried his burden to his bed and began to pack his things.

Until the next day, Zhen Tingyun met the second "girl who got engaged so early" - Yang Qionghua.

When Yang Qionghua saw Zhen Tingyun, it was like a troubled brother seeing a troubled brother, with tears in his eyes. She grabbed Zhen Tingyun's hand and sincerely expressed her gratitude: "I thought that as soon as the matter between me and Rong Ziming broke out, many people in the school would definitely see me laughing. Unexpectedly, you And the regent is actually engaged..."

This is not to share the firepower, but to attract all the firepower of the female school alone, so that the marriage between Yang Qionghua and Rong Ziming seems lukewarm.

Thinking of this, Yang Qionghua deeply felt that Zhen Tingyun was not a friend in vain.

Zhen Tingyun really didn't expect Yang Qionghua to be engaged to Rong Ziming - should it be said that the eldest princess Huiguo is powerful? In just a few days, the marriage of the younger brother and the son was all decided at once? !

It's a god-like speed!
