"Alright?" Banhua looked at Zhou Changxiao suspiciously. She couldn't have been unimpressed by this relatively good-looking man in the capital, so was this "still alright" justified?
"It's true," Zhou Changxiao pointed at his face, fearing that Banhua wouldn't believe it, "He's better-looking than me."
Banhua asked back: "Are there very few people in the capital who are better-looking than you?"
Zhou Changxiao was not angry at being rejected by Ban Hua for being unattractive. Anyway, for him, it was a good thing to be able to talk to a beautiful woman, "Then I also have good facial features."
Seeing him like this, Banhua couldn't help but smile and pointed at Rong Xia beside him, "How does the husband of the Yan family compare with Uncle Rong?"
Zhou Changxiao felt that the biggest mistake today was to meet Cheng Amber. Looking at the entire capital, how many men can match Cheng Amber's appearance? To these dandy boys, Yan Zhen was indeed one of the best, but in front of Cheng Anbo, she was simply incomparable.
Whether it’s demeanor or looks and talent, nothing can compare to Cheng Amber.
What else could he say?
"Not as good as that." Although Zhou Changxiao was generous, he was very honest, so he said honestly, "Uncle Rong is personable and possesses both talent and virtue. There are few men in the capital who can match him."
But why are you comparing yourself to Amber Cheng? Amber Cheng will not marry you!
Zhou Changxiao was roaring in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, for fear that if he turned around and went back, Ban Heng would beat him up.
Ban Hua nodded, and she guessed that Yan Zhen's appearance must not be as good as Rong Xia's, otherwise she would not be unimpressed by him. In fact, after Shen Yu broke off the engagement, many people came to inquire about the news and were interested in getting married to the Ban family.
But Banhua didn't take his fancy, so these people had no choice but to let it go.
The emperor's daughter has no worries about marrying, and the eldest princess's granddaughter has no shortage of husbands. Those with lower family status or bad family tradition will not be considered at all by the Ban family. For the Ban family, if they meet an unreliable family, it is better not to marry for the rest of their lives. They love their own daughter, so why bother marrying off her child in a hurry and making her suffer because of the rumors from outsiders.
Sitting in a chair, Mrs. Yin silently listened to Bingren praising the son of Yan Zuoxiang's family. There was not much joy in getting married to the Xiangye's family on her face.
Seeing her expression, and seeing Marquis Jingting's expression of confusion, Bingren knew that Mrs. Hou would probably take the decision on the Ban family's marriage, so he said to Yin, "Young Master Yan has been keen on learning since he was young. , I have been studying in the academy these years, so I don’t often appear in front of people. But don’t worry, this young master is very handsome, and there is no unclean girl around him. He has a caring temperament. If the princess is willing If you get married, you won’t suffer any injustice.”
Yin raised her hand and signaled the maid to bring more tea to the ice man.
Accompanying Bingren is Mrs. Zhou, the wife of Shangshu Ling. The Zhou family has a good relationship with the Ban family, so Prime Minister Yan invited her to accompany him today.
Mrs. Zhou had frequent contacts with the Yin family. Seeing the expression on the Yin family, she knew that the marriage between the two families might not be possible. She was only helping the Yan family on this trip because of favors, so she did not say anything about causing trouble. If Yin is unhappy, he will just talk about interesting things from time to time to lighten the atmosphere.
"What do you think, Mr. Marquis and Madam?" Bingren drank three cups of tea, and her throat was about to smoke. She could praise him as much as he could. If he continued to praise him, even she would not believe it.
"The Ban family is very grateful for Mr. Yan's love. It's just that the dog girl has been naughty and had a bad temper since she was a child. I'm afraid she won't be able to take good care of Mr. Yan." Mrs. Yin put down the tea cup, and the maid next to her gave the ice man a purse. , "Thank you for taking this trip."
Bingren secretly complained in her heart. She had gone to see the young master of the Yan family. He had lost a lot of weight. He just wanted to marry Princess Fule. Now that the Ban family did not agree, how should she marry Zuo? An explanation from the relatives?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Mrs. Zhou, hoping she could help talk.
"Sister," Mrs. Zhou has a gentle personality and speaks softly, "I think there is no need to rush this matter. Mr. Shi's family will have a banquet in Bieyuan in a few days. Let them have it then. After we meet, let Huahua see whether it works or not."
In her opinion, Yan Zhen is a man worthy of being entrusted to her for life, but she has also seen the way the Ban family loves their daughter, so whether this will succeed or not depends on Banhua's wishes.
"Sister is right," Mrs. Yin nodded slightly, "but you should take these things back first. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to leave them here with us."
"This..." Before Iceman could say anything, he was interrupted by Mrs. Zhou.
"My sister is very considerate. This is the only way to do it." Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "I will ask them to carry the things back later."
With the background of the Ban family, even if the Yan family's entire family background is lifted, the attitude of the Ban family will not soften. Although the Yan family is relatively powerful now, it really needs to be carefully calculated. This marriage is a high priority for the Yan family.
"I don't care whether he is the prime minister or the prince," Ban Heng put the wine glass on the table and said in a firm tone, "As long as my sister doesn't like it, I won't let her marry."
Banhua threw the handkerchief to him: "Wipe your hands, be gentle, don't break the cup."
Ban Heng was immediately discouraged. Who was he so angry for?
Zhou Changxiao filled him up with wine and said with a smile: "Brother Ban, Brother Ban, don't be angry. I will never mention this matter in front of you next time. Is that okay?"
Seeing him crouching down and acting small, Ban Heng felt a little relieved: "I thought of..."
It makes me sick to think that there is a man who thinks about his sister every day, does not think about food and drinks, and is emaciated. But he couldn't say this in front of his sister, for fear of making her sick.
Nearly a month has passed since Qiu Lie. If Yan Zhen is interested in her sister, he has many ways to do it, but he has to make a haggard look because he feels that his sister is not worthy of him, so he forces Yan Zhen to Come to propose marriage?
Has he ever thought about what others would think of his sister if word of this got out?
Beauty is a disaster?
Harm the country and the people?
He is going to die now. Does he want to force the Ban family to agree to him or something?
If you want to die, die as far away as possible, and don't disgust his sister.
"I'm afraid that Young Master Yan's move is inappropriate," Rong Xia, who had barely spoken from beginning to end, looked at Banhua, "I'm afraid that this time, the princess will be wronged again."
Banhua reached out and took away the wine glass from Ban Heng's hand, replaced it with a bowl of warm soup, and said casually: "For me, unimportant things can't be wronged by me." Five years later, she continued Her life may not be saved, no matter what the world thinks of her.
Rong Xia felt as if something had pricked her heart. It was gentle, not too painful, but had an unspeakable soreness and numbness.
After lunch, Rong Xia rode on horseback, looked at Banhua and said, "Princess, will you go to the banquet at Shijia Villa in a few days?"
Banhua shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I will go."
"I understand." Rong Xia nodded, "Last time the princess sent me back to my house, let me send you off to a beautiful lady today. I just heard a novel story recently."
"Okay." Banhua agreed without thinking.
"Brother Ban," Zhou Changxiao grabbed Ban Heng, who was about to follow, and quietly pointed at Rong Xia, "Does Cheng Anbo like your sister?"
"No way," Ban Heng shook his head affirmatively. His Majesty asked Uncle Rong a few hours ago, but he did not see that Uncle Rong was half-hearted about his sister. "He is just looking for face."
"What face?" Zhou Changxiao didn't quite understand. Which gentleman would seek face by sending a beautiful woman home?
Ban Heng looked around and saw that no one was passing by, so he jumped off his horse and told his sister about sending Rong Xia home, "Don't tell anyone about this."
"Don't worry, I'm strict with my words and I won't say anything out loud." Zhou Changxiao said with emotion, "Our sister is really a hero among women, and Cheng Anbo is indeed... so kind."
Ban Heng knew that he was strict with his mouth, otherwise he would not tell him the matter, "Okay, our family will probably not agree to this marriage between the Yan family. You go back and tell Yan Zhen to give up as soon as possible."
Zhou Changxiao shook his head and smiled bitterly. In fact, he didn't understand why Yan Zhen made such a fuss, and he didn't even think about it. Even if it was done, would Banhua be accepted by her mother-in-law after marrying into the Yan family?
The atmosphere in the Yan family is indeed not good. As early as when her son came back from the autumn hunting and said that he wanted to marry the careless princess of the Ban family, Mrs. Yan felt unhappy. She didn't agree at all, but she didn't know that this child was so obsessed with a woman like Ban Hua that she would sleep day and night without thinking about food or food. She and the master felt sorry for the child, so they could only ask Bingren and Mrs. Zhou to help arrange the marriage.
But when she thought of a woman like Banhua who was extravagant, domineering and charming, she wanted to be her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yan felt like she couldn't hold back the breath in her chest. Her son had read a lot of books since he was a child and was well-educated. How could he fall in love with such a woman?
If she had known that he would become like this, she should not have controlled him so strictly in the early years and prevented him from getting close to women, so that he lost his heart and soul when he saw a woman like Banhua.
"Madam, Mrs. Zhou is here."
"Please come quickly." Mrs. Yan straightened her clothes, put a kind smile on her face, and held the maid's hand to clear the yard. As soon as she walked into the hall, she heard hurried footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw who it was if it wasn't the family's little evildoer.
"Mom, is Mrs. Zhou here?" Yan Zhen was a little weak, so he was already out of breath after walking in such a hurry.
Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "You kid, you can't be like this when you see Mrs. Zhou. Why don't you pack your clothes quickly?"
Only then did Yan Zhen notice that she had lost her composure. She quickly adjusted her robes and then followed Mrs. Yan in. Naturally, she did not see the anger in Mrs. Yan's eyes.
As soon as Mrs. Yan entered the hall and saw that the gifts she had prepared were returned intact, she knew something was wrong. Looking back at her youngest son, he was indeed pale. If it were not for the maid holding him, he would have been I can't even stand up.
Looking at her beloved little son like this, she felt painful and anxious, and wanted her maid to help him down.
"Mom, I'm fine," Yan Zhen pushed the maid aside and gave a junior salute to Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou nodded secretly in her heart. She is a polite child, so she smiled and said, "What a handsome husband. Sit down quickly."
After Yan Zhen sat down, he said: "Mrs. Zhou, I don't know about the Marquis's mansion..."
He didn't look at the congratulatory gifts on the ground, but only looked at Mrs. Zhou, as if he wanted to find a glimmer of hope in her.
