In the garden, Shen Wan and Yun Rui were admiring flowers.

The weather was getting hotter, and there were more butterflies. Yunrui played with the butterflies with her embroidered handkerchief, and soon there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on her smooth forehead.

The two of them went to the pavilion to rest, drank a cup of tea and had two small snacks. Yun Rui glanced at the sun above her head and said, "It's getting late. I should go back. I'll come back another day to talk to my cousin to relieve my boredom."

Yun Rui was anxious to know the result of her eldest brother's proposal of marriage, so Shen Wan didn't keep her for long and asked Haitang to send her out of the house.

Shen Wan walked to Mo Yuxuan and saw Chen Feng sending Prince Yanping and others out from a distance. Shen Wan was still curious about which one of the three of them Yun Rui was hiding from.

They have big steps and may meet at the gate.

Shen Wan returned to the house and rested for a long time before Haitang came back. Shen Wan said, "My cousin and Prince Yanping met?"

Haitang thought for a while and said rigorously, "I don't know if it counts as a chance encounter..."

"Do you know who she is hiding from?" Shen Wan asked.

Haitang shook his head.

Do not you know?

It's so obvious to hide, it shouldn't be invisible.

Haitang said, "My cousin asked my slave to bring her a veil. When she left the house, she wore a veil on her face..."

"When I left the palace gate, I heard Prince Yanping and the others talking. The second cousin girl looked back and hurried down the steps. The boy had not even put the footstool down, so she hurriedly got into the carriage..."

Shen Wan's brows furrowed again after hearing this.

My cousin is not a timid person, and she is in Prince Ling's Mansion. How can she hide from others to this extent?

Shen Wan was curious about which of the three Prince Yanping had offended her cousin. She was so afraid of being caught. Prince Yanping and the others had a good relationship with Xie Jingyan, and they were not people who would argue with women.

Shen Wan was thinking about this, and Chun'er came in quickly from outside and said, "Princess, the Marquis helped the young cousin go to the Yanping Palace to propose marriage, but the Yanping Palace did not agree."

A look of disappointment flashed across Shen Wan's face.

Although she was mentally prepared since Xie Jingyan said that the Yanping Palace did not dare to ask for the death-free gold medal, she was still quite disappointed when she heard it.

However, it is not just one or two families that have troubles in proposing a marriage. When marrying a daughter, you have to put your head down when marrying a daughter-in-law. Only when you see the sincerity of the other party can you be willing to accept the marriage with confidence. This matter cannot be rushed, because the father has to take a lot of time out of his busy schedule. He made several trips to the Yanping Palace, which was difficult for his father because of his temperament. However, with the formation of the Iron Cavalry, the eldest cousin could help his father with a lot of things, such as buying horses.

Only when the eldest cousin's life-long affairs are decided can he help his father with peace of mind.

The eldest young master of the Yun family was offered a gold medal to avoid death, and asked to marry the head of the Qinghe County of Prince Yanping. A storm spread throughout Kyoto and became the latest topic of conversation in teahouses and restaurants on the streets.

When Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan were having lunch, the discussion in the teahouse and restaurant reached Prince Ling's Mansion. Dong'er came in and said, "Princess, people outside are saying that the young master is asking to marry the head of Qinghe County. It's a toad that wants to eat swan meat. No self-awareness at all..."

Shen Wan was furious.

Her eldest cousin is a talented person and a leader among people. She calls her eldest cousin a toad and doesn't even look in the mirror!

Shen Wan was so angry that she lost her appetite, and then felt something was wrong. She looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "How did this matter spread?"

Xie Jingyan said, "This matter cannot be hidden."

Of course, Shen Wan knew that he couldn't hide it. His father had a lot of troops. If he went to the Yanping Palace, people would definitely be curious. Even if the Yanping Palace and the Yun family issued a silence order about his eldest cousin's proposal to marry the Qinghe County Lord, it would be spread sooner or later. , but it was transmitted too quickly, as if it was transmitted deliberately.

The Yanping Palace should not do it. Even if the Yanping Palace looks down on the Yun family, the gold medal for immunity from death is enough. In addition, it is the father who helps propose the marriage. The Yanping Palace will not do such a humiliating thing, let alone the Yun family. It's possible, but the Yanping Palace didn't agree. The more spread it spread, the more embarrassing the Yun family would be.

Xie Jingyan also felt a little strange. As a result, Dong'er had doubts about the candidate. She said, "It's quite late for Mr. Hou to go to the Yanping Palace today. When he arrived, Mr. Du Guogong and his wife were helping Mr. Du Guogong's prince to marry the Qinghe County Lord. Knowing that Mr. Hou She was going to help someone propose a marriage, and Mrs. Du Guogong was a little bit weird at the time, and knowing that the Marquis was proposing a marriage for a young cousin, she was even more overtly and subtly sarcastic. The Marquis took out the gold medal for immunity from death and made the offer, so Mrs. Du Guogong shut up. "

"It must have been spread to the outside world by Du Guogong's mansion."

Shen Wan's mouth twitched when she heard this.

Could it be that Du Guogong's mansion has been experiencing bad luck recently...

The prince Du Guogong fell in love with the princess of Huai'an. Du Guogong and his wife took the prince to Prince An's Mansion to propose marriage. As a result, the prince Du Guogong was beaten and carried out of Prince An's Mansion. The marriage was not negotiated. Princess Huai'an was granted a marriage by the emperor to her eldest brother, Mrs. Du Guogong. She was already annoyed with the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, but now she wanted to help the prince propose marriage to the head of Qinghe County, and her father went to help her eldest cousin propose marriage, so he went with the gold medal to avoid death.

The Yun family's family status is not high, but they cannot stand up to their sincerity. In addition, the prince Du Guogong is mediocre among the children of the aristocratic family. Although he does not fight cocks, walk dogs, and sleep in willows, he can be said to be incompetent in literature and martial arts. Prince An, who was two years younger than him, could push him to the ground and beat him, which was really embarrassing.

Duke Du was so angry that he spread the news and did not rule out this possibility.

Thinking of Du Guogong's mansion, Shen Wan wondered if all the good luck of Du Guogong and Du Guogong's wife had been used up twenty years ago.

It is no exaggeration to say that Du Guogong's title of Duke was picked up.

Du Guogong is the son of a stepmother. He has an elder brother who is better than him in every aspect and was established as the heir apparent early on. However, the elder brother gave up the title of heir apparent in order to marry the eldest princess of Huyang.

Yes, Du Guogong's brother is the consort of Princess Huyang.

Du Guogong's title is based on military merit. The prince will inherit the title and military power in the future, but Da Chu has a rule that the prince consort does not have military power.

Twenty years ago, after the late emperor's imperial edict granting marriage, the eldest prince-consort resigned from the throne and handed it over to his younger brother, who is now Du Guogong.

Such good luck is still talked about by people today, but the eldest son-in-law and the eldest princess of Huyang only had a son, who was killed by Prince Yanping by mistake. The eldest princess of Huyang could not bear the pain of losing her son and could not afford to fall ill. Shen Wan still remembered the haggard look of his eldest son-in-law when he saw him in his previous life after losing his beloved son.

After the death of Du Guogong, Du Guogong inherited the title, but his ability to lead troops in war was really poor. He stayed at the border for half a year and suffered several defeats. In addition, he could not bear the hardship of the sandstorm at the border, and he became dejected. After returning to Beijing, although he still received the position of military general, the emperor did not take it back because of the face of his eldest son-in-law, Qu Cai. Du Guogong did not receive real power.

In the court, ten princes with empty titles and no real power are not worth one Shen Jing.

Shen Wan shook his head to stop himself from thinking too much. His eldest cousin had a strong heart and would not take these rumors to heart.

Shen Wan was very sure, but after she got up from her nap, Dong'er ran in and said, "Princess, it's not good! The young master has beaten the young master of General Chang Wei's mansion!"
