The eldest princess is still single today

"Yesterday, His Royal Highness just entered the palace and mentioned to His Majesty about the marriage of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Today, he got off the imperial list and said that he will recruit a son-in-law for the Eldest Princess. The son-in-law must be very happy now."

"And your majesty agreed so quickly, it can be seen that your majesty is talking about his majesty's mind!"

The Second Eldest Princess sneered and said: "I'm afraid that this Palace has talked about the eldest sister's concerns. Now that she's getting old, of course all she wants is to find a husband-in-law so that she can live a stable life."

The servant girl smiled flatteringly and said, "Your Highness is right. She must be jealous of our Highness marrying so well!"

The Second Princess nodded in satisfaction, and continued to embroider flowers on the sachet by the candlelight.She chose the style of Bingdi lotus, and after a while, she couldn't help feeling her eyes ached, and she had to put down the sachet in her hand to rest her eyes.

While she was closing her eyes and meditating, the servant girl next to her lowered her face and whispered in her ear, "Your Highness, the son-in-law is here."

She immediately showed a surprised smile, opened her eyes and was about to get up, when a pair of warm hands fell on her shoulders, and a gentle voice came from behind: "The eldest princess has worked hard."

"It's just embroidering a sachet, what's so hard about it." She turned to look at her husband, her beautiful eyes were tender and full of affection, "I heard that the eldest sister's choice of son-in-law has been decided , now Eunuch should feel at ease."

The second son-in-law smiled even more: "Father is indeed relieved, this time there is indeed Raul."

"However, the matter of talking to the emperor's brother is not worthy of the words of labor. As long as I can help you and my father-in-law, and our Xu family, I can do whatever I want." The second princess Guan Qing Er buried her head in her husband's waist, with a soft and affectionate tone.

Then she changed the subject and complained in a low voice: "Besides, Elder Sister's heart is too cruel, and the knife was also used on my husband's head. Even if it's not for you, I have to do it for myself It's such a bad breath."

The second son-in-law sighed deeply: "It's also my fault that Xu Xiu is incompetent. I failed to earn a good reputation and came back, so I can only rely on the shadow of my ancestors. If I can get an official position, I will not fall into the hands of the eldest sister." Come on, there is no need to be so wronged."

The husband and wife spoke a few words of self-discipline again.Suddenly Guan Qinger looked up at him and asked again: "This time Guan Qingyi's selection of a son-in-law is very powerful, maybe we can take advantage of her and come back... Do you have any candidates for the election?" Decided?"

"This matter still needs to be discussed again. I'm fine in the next few days, so I can discuss it with Your Highness." Xu Xiu looked out the window and said, "It looks like it's getting late outside, Your Highness...it's time tonight." Have you gone to bed?"

As the candle flickered, the flickering light made his handsome and beautiful face even more mysterious and dangerous.Guan Qing'er couldn't help but blushed slightly, her bones softened, and she gave a soft "hmm".

She reconfirmed expectantly: "Xiu Lang, will you stay with me these few days?"

"of course."

Xu Xiu helped her get up from the seat, the maid retreated knowingly, and blew out the flickering candles, and the room was immersed in the quiet night.

"Zifu! I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'll punish you a few drinks today!"

Before Xu Xiu went upstairs and turned the corner, she heard her friends teasing and coaxing her, so she also went up to her with a smile.

As soon as he took a seat at the table, the wine glass was filled to the brim by the people around him.At the same time, there was a urging sound of "drink, drink!".He sighed exaggeratedly, and begged for mercy: "Brothers, please forgive me! I don't want to have fun here with you brothers every day, but my father has ordered me not to come out, so I can't do anything about it." ah!"

The friend on the side smiled and said: "It's pitiful! Who doesn't know that you are guarding a princess at home? It's not unreasonable to teach you to get cheap and behave when you are given a blessing that other people can't get in a few lifetimes."

Someone on the other side smoothed things over and said: "Who said that Princess Shang is a good thing? Marrying a daughter-in-law is like making an offering to a Buddha! At home, you have to depend on others and you can't be the master. You have no freedom to take a concubine, and you have to make out with a girl." Looking at her face, what kind of blessing is this!"

When everyone heard this, they all showed expressions of empathy.

Seeing this, Xu Xiu couldn't help but sighed with emotion: "Brother Fan knows me too! If my father hadn't insisted on proposing this relative to the royal family and handing over my portrait, I would still be the same pillow today. Xu Zifu, who tasted thousands of vermilion lips! How can he still live in his own home like he is today, as if he is under the fence of others, and still rely on his wife to earn his living!"

Friends cheered up.Xu Xiu raised her head and drank several glasses of wine, the smell of alcohol and resentment mixed together and intensified.He complained: "Why do you think my father kept me at home this time? Isn't it just to please the princess! They are fighting among the royal family, and they insist on dragging me to the Anyihou Mansion to stir up this muddy water. In the end, I was asked to shamelessly beg my wife!"

He continued to chatter: "What the eldest princess... I am! An old house girl who can't get married, she doesn't want to learn the three obediences and four virtues, husband and son, and finds someone to marry early. The Yihou Mansion is here! Still want to deprive my family of titles so that I won’t accept them? Let’s go live her sweet dreams!”

The people around looked a little nervous and looked at each other.Seeing that he was about to say something that people wouldn't dare to listen to, someone hurriedly approached him and whispered in his ear: "Brother Zifu is drunk, don't dare to say such nonsense."

Xu Xiu was stunned for a while when he heard the words, and regained his senses a little.He looked at the people around him in a daze, and he realized that he had said something that should not have been said, and he couldn't help but regret it.In the end, he had no choice but to smile and say: "Just now, my younger brother made a slip of the tongue after drinking, so please don't blame me. Today's meal will be treated as my invitation, everyone eat and drink with open bellies!"

After he finished speaking, everyone's expressions relaxed a lot.For a while, there was another exchange of cups and cups, and the conversation was harmonious.

Suddenly someone suggested: "Speaking of which, I went to the Chunyi Building to play, and their family seemed to be doing something recently, and they were mysterious. I asked and said that there was something important to announce today. Why don't I Let's rest here until the evening and go there to play, shall we?"

Another person said: "We are just leisurely people, even if we go to Chunyi Building to rest for a night, it's okay, but in Brother Zifu's situation... I'm afraid it's not very convenient?"

Xu Xiu's heart was eager to move, but after hearing these words, she was a little bit less interested.After thinking about it for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I've been trapped at home by her for so long, just for fun, what can she do to me? That's it for today! It's also my treat!"

Shen Chun peeked down from upstairs, thinking in his heart that the effect of the previous few days' campaign was indeed not bad.

This is: if the advertisement is well played, the business will have nowhere to go!

Today's Chunyi Building can be said to be full of people. Although in the past, Chunyi Building was a bustling scene of singing and dancing every night, the momentum today is far better than the past.This situation made Shen Chun sigh "Joining in the fun is the primary productive force of human beings", and no matter how lively it is, in short, it's right to just stick your head in and have a look.

"Chun'er!" Cuizhu walked towards her holding up her skirt, "Do you see if it's about time to start? The guests are waiting anxiously, no, they are urging me to come up and ask .”

"Let's start! Let's start!" Shen Chun giggled, led by Cui Zhu to go downstairs to the lobby, and as soon as she appeared on the stage, she attracted the attention of the audience.The explicit inquiry in this gaze made her feel deeply uncomfortable, but she could only hold on to her smile and pretend to be calm.

She saw a man grab her mother and asked with a smile, "Mom, is this the new lady in the building? She's so pretty!"

Shen Niang also reluctantly smiled and responded: "The posture of the pu willow is all that matters, it's absurd to get the blue eyes of the master. But this is a little girl, not a girl in the building, it's just that she hasn't shown it to anyone before..."

Shen Chun was supported by Cuizhu onto the stage.She coughed twice, and the two big teapots under the stage understood and helped her maintain the order in the audience.Hearing the voice below gradually subside, Cuizhu opened her lips lightly and said, "My sisters are very happy to visit the Chunyi Tower today. But today, our young master has business to discuss with you, so I would like to invite you to Listen carefully."

Someone in the audience laughed and shouted: "Aren't we here to 'discuss business' with the girls someday? I wonder if the young master can talk about business better than other girls?"

Shen Chun took a deep breath to suppress his unhappiness, and said with a faint smile: "In the past, you were the masters who took care of the business of our Chunyi Building. I thank you on behalf of my mother. But today is different. Today we are going to do it for the men. It's convenient."

The people in the audience looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what kind of medicine she had bought in the gourd.Seeing the whispering voice below gradually getting louder, Shen Chun said again: "Everyone should know that there is going to be a big happy event in our palace recently. Let me ask you, do you want to make this happy event in the palace your own happy event?" ?”

Someone below shouted: "Girl, are you talking about Princess Shang? But what does this have to do with you and me?"

"Of course it has something to do with it!" Shen Chun said, "Please listen carefully. In the past, the emperors selected ladies from the people, how many beautiful phoenixes flew on the branches. Women can still give it a go. If you have this thought, Or if you have this hope for your own brothers and nephews, why not give it a try?"

Another questioned: "You are right, but what does this have to do with your Chunyi Building? What kind of business are you going to do?"

Shen Chun clapped his palms and said: "In the final analysis, the eldest princess chooses a son-in-law, and it is just to choose a good husband that she likes. To put it bluntly, if you want to be a son-in-law, you just want to make the eldest princess like it."

Having said that, she laughed again: "You guys are all rich and noble sons of Zhongming Dingshi's family. They were raised by their mothers and elder sisters, so they must have never thought about how to please their daughter's family in the past. .I am not talented, but I have some insights on this matter. Do you understand what Shen Chun means?"

Seeing that the audience is still suspicious and cautious, Shen Chun smiled slightly, and chanted casually: "'I just feel that you look back and make me think about your morning and evening'. Such love poems are the most pleasing to the girls. If you If you don't believe me, just ask the sisters in our family, which one has not been coaxed by my rhetoric?"

Cuizhu and the other girls all covered their faces and snickered, and the men below also let out good-natured laughter.Suddenly one of them got up, walked to the front of the stage a few steps, and said: "If it's just a few sour poems, there are also sour scholars who can write them. If you don't have other tricks, this business can't be done."

Shen Chun was not afraid, and said firmly: "I have a lot of tricks, and naturally I can not only recite poems, it just depends on your sincerity in wanting to learn."

The man stared at her quietly for a while, then took out two ingots of silver from his pocket and put them on the stage: "Here is the deposit."

There was a sound of gasping from the audience, but the man didn't seem to notice it, he just looked directly at Shen Chun and said: "I will visit again tomorrow."

The author has something to say:

Remarks here: The big teapot refers to Gui Gong, a man who works in a brothel; the two poems mentioned by Shen Chun come from Yuefu's "Ancient Lovesickness".
