Chapter 188: The County Princess's Blind Date
"Wow! There is such a thing?" Rong Enqing's gossipy heart was instantly awakened, "Who did you meet? What was the result?"
Ruhua secretly glanced at Princess Anyang, and seeing that she still didn't speak, she became bolder.
"The first one is the son of the Dali Temple official. He is eighteen years old. Although he is not good-looking, he is extremely capable. At such a young age, he is already an expert in investigating and handling cases. It is said that he has helped the Dali Temple official solve several major cases in private."
"Not obvious in appearance? How can it not be obvious?" Rong Enqing immediately grasped the key point.
Ruhua smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, anyway, our county lady took one look at him and said she didn't want to take a second look."
Rong Enqing smacked his lips, "No way? If his appearance was so terrible, why would the general's wife let the county lady go to see him? Didn't the general's wife see that person beforehand? Didn't she know what he looked like?"
Rong Enqing was puzzled. Could Madam Yuan be so unreliable? Or was it that Madam Yuan was not really interested in the marriage of Princess Anyang? She just wanted to marry her off and be done with it?
Just as he was wondering, he heard Ruhua explain: "In fact, although the son of the Dali Temple official is not handsome, he is definitely not ugly either. He can only be said to be a little ordinary."
Rong Enqing understood, "That's because the county lady has too high standards."
Ruhua didn't know whether to agree or not with Rong Enqing's evaluation, and continued, "The second one is the fifth son of the Minister of War. The Minister of War's family, whether it's our deceased General Xie or our General Yang, can be considered old friends. Therefore, when the two families are talking about marriage, they know each other well."
"Then why didn't it work? Is it because the Fifth Young Master is not good enough?" Rong Enqing asked.
Ruhua shook her head: "No way, the Fifth Young Master is handsome, and has practiced martial arts since he was young, with an upright figure. He is also ambitious, and at the age of sixteen, he has already taken a job in the city guards."
"Isn't this good? We are about the same age."
"Guess what the county lord said?"
"What do you mean?" Rong Enqing really couldn't find any fault with it.
The first person could say that the person was ordinary-looking and not pleasing to the eye. But this one has a good family background, good looks, and good abilities. What else can be found wrong with this one?
"The county lord said that the fifth young master has been practicing martial arts since he was young. What if he beats someone after they get married? The county lord said that she doesn't know any martial arts, and if she gets beaten, she won't even be able to fight back." Ruhua spoke in a strange tone, stealing glances at the county lord Anyang while speaking.
"Pfft!" Rong Enqing couldn't help laughing out loud. He laughed at the county lady's unreasonable behavior and nitpicking. He also laughed at Ruhua for being a master of yin and yang.
After laughing for a while, Rong Enqing gradually stopped laughing when he saw that Princess Anyang looked unhappy. He asked Princess Anyang curiously, "Princess Anyang, not to mention that your two families are old friends, the Minister will not allow the Fifth Young Master to make a move on you. Let's just say that you have Ruhua and the other four by your side, how can the Fifth Young Master get past them? Besides, if the Fifth Young Master is really someone who would make a move on a woman, would the General's wife choose him to be your husband? It's impossible no matter how you think about it, right?"
Princess Anyang smiled awkwardly, with a suspicious blush on her face.
"Actually, it's not the Fifth Young Master's fault. I just don't like him."
"Oh, that's because you don't like them." Rong Enqing nodded, "That's not surprising. If they're not your type, no matter how good they are, it's hard for you to like them."
"Yes, yes! That's it!" Princess Anyang excitedly grabbed Rong Enqing's hand, her eyes sparkling, "Madam, you are so open-minded."
At this moment, Ruhua suddenly interrupted and said, "County Lady, why don't you tell the Madam the truth?"
Princess Anyang pouted and glared at Ruhua in dissatisfaction, "Humph, I won't take you with me next time. It's better to listen to the piano. She never interrupts me when I'm talking to others."
Ruhua smiled and said, "Yes, Tingqin not only won't interrupt, but he will definitely not talk to the county lady along the way. It's definitely quiet enough."
Princess Anyang glared at Ruhua angrily. It was because Tingqin talked too little that she liked to take Ruhua out with her so that they could chat and relieve boredom on the way. As a result, she forgot that although Ruhua was a talkative person, she was not only talkative in front of her. She also talked a lot to people who were close to the Princess Anyang.
Rong Enqing couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh. After watching the master and servant play, he asked curiously, "What truth did Miss Ruhua just tell you?"
Ruhua smiled and answered the question irrelevantly: "Madam, you don't know that after the Fifth Young Master, our General's wife proposed two more marriages to the County Lady, but the County Lady rejected them all with strange reasons."
"So what?" Rong Enqing became more and more curious.
"So, our county lady doesn't like anyone and thinks everyone has problems." Ruhua shook her head and lowered her voice, "Except the third prince."
After hearing this, Rong Enqing suddenly realized.
When I went to the county lady's mansion before, I met someone sent by the third prince to deliver something to the Anyang county lady. Later, I heard from Madam Zhou that the county lady seemed to have a slight affection for the third prince. At that time, Madam Zhou also said that after Madam Yuan came to Beijing, she would ask her to find a good marriage for the county lady, so as to cut off the possible bad relationship between the county lady and the third prince.
But now it seems that this evil fate can no longer be severed.
As expected, Princess Anyang stared at Ruhua with a shy face, "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense to the Madam! How can I be with him? I just haven't found anyone better than him!"
Ruhua stopped talking, but gave Rong Enqing a look with a helpless expression that said "You saw it".
Rong Enqing was also helpless. There were some things you didn't want to happen, but they just couldn't be controlled.
As the group was talking, they soon arrived at the Yang family's banquet venue.
Because it was freezing cold, the Yang family specially held the banquet in the warm room.
The Yang family's warm room has three floors. Rong Enqing was arranged to sit on the first floor after entering the house. A little maid came up and led her to sit aside. The Princess of Anyang was about to follow her.
At this moment, a woman who looked like an old woman came forward with a smile and said respectfully to the Princess Anyang: "Princess Anyang, please go upstairs. Your seat is on the third floor."
Rong Enqing came with the Princess of Anyang County. It was well known that they were good friends.
However, Rong Enqing, the Dowager Lady of the Marquisate of the Marquisate of the first rank, was arranged on the first floor, while the Princess of Anyang County of the second rank was arranged on the third floor. It seemed as if the Yang family was deliberately embarrassing Rong Enqing, or the Marquis of Shun'an Mansion!
Sure enough, at this moment, a burst of chattering sounded all around.
"Did the Yang family do this on purpose?"
"This is obviously intentional!"
"Don't you want to invite Shun'an Marquis Mansion? If you don't want to invite, then don't invite. If you do, then why do you want to embarrass us on purpose?"
