The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

The heat was so hot that Zeng Yan greeted him as soon as he entered the second gate of the palace.

When Xia Jing saw him, she teased, "Yo, what's the big deal today, that you bothered the housekeeper to greet him at the door?"

Zeng Yan stepped forward to personally help Xia Jing get out of the carriage, and said with a smile: "The princess is serious, it is the blessing of this old slave to serve the princess."

In the hot Lingnan, although there are maids holding umbrellas for her, the ultraviolet rays are still very strong. Xia Jing covered her forehead with a round fan, "You are waiting for me here, but is the lord looking for something?"

"My concubine has a clever plan, you know the purpose of my coming here before the little one speaks." Zeng Yan complimented.

"In that case, let's go." Xia Jing took a step forward and walked to King Qian's study in the front yard first, wondering why King Qian was looking for her today?
Zeng Yan looked back at the two-headed carriage that Xia Jing was just sitting in, "Princess, Fifth Master went out with you, and he didn't come back?"

Xia Jing: "Xiao Wu has something to do with my manager, what's the matter? The prince wants to see Xiao Wu?"

After Li Chengmu entered the city, Xia Jing sent him to find Ding Daqiang and asked him to take care of the sugar factory affairs temporarily.

Zeng Yan was two steps behind Xia Jing, and after listening to the question, he shook his head hastily: "That's not true, it's just a random question from a servant."

Xia Jing glanced back at him, "Do you know what the prince is looking for me for?"

Zeng Yan looked around, except for Xia Jing's eldest maid, Hongmei, the other servants were all a certain distance away, so there was no need to worry about being heard by insignificant people.

Xia Jing was taken aback by his actions and expression, and she was even more curious about why King Qian was looking for her?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Zeng Yan say: "Master Yuan, the governor of Jingzhou, sent an elder brother of the side branch, saying that he wanted to marry Qin and Jin with our Prince Qian's mansion. The prince is having a headache for this matter, and he wants to invite the princess to go with him." Help with an idea."

"Marriage?"

After hearing Zeng Yan's words, these two words automatically appeared in Xia Jing's mind. She stopped and looked back at Zeng Yan, "Are the two gentlemen in the study?"

Zeng Yan's footsteps also stopped: "Yes."

Xia Jing nodded, and then walked towards the study.

In the study, King Qian looked at the information on the family situation of Yuan Rujiang, the governor of Jingzhou, and his married son recorded on the paper.

No matter how I look at it, I am not satisfied, and feel that my girl will lose a lot of money by marrying him.

"My lord, my concubine is here." A servant's voice sounded from outside the door.

King Qian put down the paper in his hand and glanced at Anu.

Anu understood what he meant, went to the door and opened the door to welcome Xia Jing, "Princess, please come in."

Xia Jing walked past him into the study, and the two gentlemen stood up and greeted her, "I have seen the princess."

"You don't need to be too polite, just get up." Xia Jing walked to the desk and sat down, and asked straight to the point to King Qian who was sitting opposite, "You asked Zeng Yan to come over to me in a hurry?"

King Qian picked up the teapot with a light smile, poured her a cup of tea for the first time, and gently pushed it in front of her, "Wangfei, please drink tea."

Ah!The picture is not small!

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows at him, it must be no small matter for the old dandy to put down her body and pour tea for her.

Xia Jing didn't say anything, she calmly took a sip of the tea cup to moisten her throat.

Along the way, although there was an ice basin on the carriage, the weather was too hot, so I still sweated a lot.

She is thirsty!

King Qian saw that Xia Jing was really calm, sat down to drink tea, and stopped asking why she was called here, so he looked up at Zeng Yan, is this old servant who revealed the news?
Zeng Yan lowered his head guiltily, and searched for ants on the clean marble floor, but he couldn't find them after searching around. The floor was shining brightly, well, the woman in charge of the study's sanitation should be rewarded.

Seeing his expression, King Qian wondered if the old slave was talking too much again.

"Bah"

With a soft sound, Xia Jing put down the teacup.

The soft sound brought King Qian back to his senses. He collected himself and said, "Princess Wang has the courage to run outside in such a hot day. She doesn't have to get tanned or suffer from heat stroke."

Xia Jing looked at him with a half-smile, "I don't have your rich life, I have been a hard worker since I was born."

King Qian: "."

He looked for help to the two gentlemen sitting at the bottom.

Mr. Zhang coughed lightly, "Princess, the governor of Jingzhou sent his elder brother to Lingnan, he explained his purpose, and wanted to make friends with Qin and Jin with the palace. What do you think about this matter?"

Xia Jing turned her head to look at him, and then turned her head to look at King Qian, "You have been discussing this for so long, have you come to a result?"

King Qian handed her the paper on the case table, "Yuan Rujiang's youngest son is about the same age as Yuzhu, and his family background is well matched with our palace. If he can succeed, it will be a good story."

Although King Qian felt that the Yuan family boy was not good enough for his granddaughter, but in terms of family interests, he admitted that both parties in this marriage would benefit.

Xia Jing took the paper and read it.

Yuan Rujiang's youngest son, at the age of seventeen, looks handsome and talented, and is very much loved by Yuan Rujiang.

Family background, looks and talents, judging from the information on this piece of paper, this little son is indeed good, and he is a good son-in-law candidate in the eyes of all mothers-in-law.

But Xia Jing never believed what was written on paper, and this kind of news that the public could get had no gold content.

If you want to understand the character of this young master, you can only be credible if you send your cronies to find out.

Seeing Xia Jing staring at the paper and not speaking, King Qian asked eagerly, "How is it?"

Xia Jing put down the paper and sighed inwardly, feeling that in ancient times, women's happiness was often sacrificed for the benefit of the family.

This in-law relationship is sometimes very strong, and sometimes it is weak and vulnerable.

"You should ask the second wife to discuss this kind of marriage, not me. After all, they are Yuzhu's parents. The so-called parents' order and matchmaker's words, I will not do it for you. I have reservations."

"This..." King Qian thought about thousands of possibilities, but he never thought that Xia Jing would have such a reaction.

"Princess, we just want to hear your opinion. We will definitely ask the second child for their opinion on the marriage with the Yuan family."

"For the marriage of the girl's family, you should look for the second child and the others in the first place. There is no need to look for me."

Xia Jing's face was sullen, and she was very upset. She resented being involved in this kind of thing the most.

She has a special status, she is the stepmother of the second child, no matter what era she is in, stepmothers are always embarrassing.

If the second child is dissatisfied with this marriage, they may think that she is meddling in the middle.

If they happen to be satisfied with the marriage, it's okay, Xia Jing usually avoids such thankless things.

"Princess, you." King Qian felt that Xia Jing completely regarded herself as an outsider, and this feeling made him uncomfortable.

Xia Jing raised her hand to interrupt him, "I believe that based on the IQs of you and the two gentlemen, we have already discussed the result. It is up to you to decide. If you really think about Yuzhu, you should ask the second wife and her about it." opinion instead of asking me."

As she spoke, she stood up without waiting for their reaction, "Okay, I've been sweating all morning after running outside, so I'll go back first, you guys are busy."

Xia Jing took Hongmei out of the study room, looking at the back of her going away, King Qian pointed at the door, furious.

He slapped the table, "It's unreasonable, this woman is trying to annoy me!"

He doesn't speak up when he wants her to give some advice, and she insists on intervening when he doesn't want her to meddle, just like expanding Xiaowu's private soldiers, his private soldiers are almost catching up with his soldiers .

"My lord, calm down!"

Mr. Zhang stood up, "Since the concubine doesn't want to get involved, then we won't force it. In fact, the concubine is right. We have analyzed the matter. If that is the case, then it is better to send the second master over. Discuss with him?"

"That's it." King Qian waved his hand, signaling Anu to deliver the message.

Thinking of getting along with Xia Jing, King Qian sighed. After all, he was still dependent on her, and he always wanted to hear her opinion on everything.

Back at Yi Gui Yuan, Xia Jing wiped the sweat off her face, it was really hot to death.

She glanced at the sky outside, "Is it raining today? It's too hot and stuffy, and I feel a little out of breath."

Baimei came out from the inner room, "Princess, I've put the water in the bathroom, you go take a shower first. It's too hot these two days, it might really rain."

Xia Jing nodded, she also felt that there might be heavy rain in the afternoon.

When she came out after washing, Baimei had already prepared the meals.

Xia Jing looked at the carefully prepared lunch, sat at the table and smiled, "You girl, you are getting more and more capable now."

Baimei pursed her lips and smiled: "This is a servant's job. If you can't even do your job well, the concubine will not keep this useless slave."

Xia Jing glanced at the dishes on the table, shook her head and chuckled, "It seems that you know me very well."

Baimei smiled lightly and reached out to help Xia Jing serve a bowl of mung bean porridge in front of her.

It was a hot summer day for Xia Jing, and she really couldn't eat at noon, but she was fine with porridge and had a good appetite.

After Hongmei washed up, she returned to the main house, at this time Xia Jing had already had her lunch.

Seeing Baimei clearing the table, Hongmei poured Xia Jing a glass of boiled water, "Princess, please drink some water."

"Yeah." After eating and drinking, Xia Jing leaned on the soft couch and didn't want to move. She just glanced at Hongmei when she came in, "It's still comfortable to add two ice basins in the room at noon. The temperature in the room is just right. Hot or cold."

Hongmei glanced at the dazzling sunlight outside, and then remembered what happened in the study just now.

"Princess, the marriage between Miss Yuzhu and the young master of the Yuan family is a perfect match, why don't you agree?"

Xia Jing looked at her with a smile, "I didn't say I disagreed, as long as the second child agrees, I have no objection."

Hongmei still couldn't figure it out, "Are you afraid that Miss Yuzhu will not like it?"

Xia Jing narrowed her eyes slightly, and said softly: "This is just one of them. For me, being a matchmaker is a thankless task. If the couple lives well after marriage and has the same temper, it's fine. If the couple after marriage If the two of you are not going well or happy, the matchmaker will be the first to complain."

The most important thing is that she wants to transfer the conflicts in the palace to her.

After hearing her words, Hongmei felt that it made sense.

Xia Jing: "Oh, I forgot to ask, do the guests from Jingzhou live in the mansion or in the inn in the city?"

Hongmei looked at Baimei.

Baimei took a step forward and replied: "I heard that they are staying in the guest room, which was personally arranged by Housekeeper Yan. It can be seen how much the prince attaches importance to this marriage."

"Hehe!" Xia Jing's eyes were full of sarcasm, men are all species whose interests come first.

In the last days, which man can talk about feelings?
Of course, the same is true for women, so it is good to maintain the status quo of her marriage with King Qian.

In addition to the impact on the child if the two get together, the most important thing is that it is inconvenient for her to act outside the signboard of the palace.

Since the impact of separation is too great, it is better to maintain a face-to-face state, and the two live their own lives without interfering with each other.

Sincerely cooperate and go to the New Year together.

The marriage was dragged on for a few days, and the news finally came when the preparations for Xiajing Sugar Factory were completed.

"Princess, the second master and the second wife both agreed to this marriage. The two parties have already exchanged tokens this time. We only need to wait until we return to Jingzhou to arrange the next process. If we agree, the appointment will be confirmed."

At dinner time, Baimei walked in from the outside, and told Xia Jing what she had heard as she walked.

Xia Jing glanced at her: "It's not unexpected, it's expected."

Immediately thinking of something, Xia Jing put down her chopsticks, "Regardless of whether the marriage is settled or not, the caravan going to Jingzhou must inquire about the reputation of this young master of the Yuan family!"

After hearing her words, Hongmei hesitated and said, "Although the princess is doing this for Miss Yuzhu's benefit, but the marriage has already been settled, so what's the use if you find out more?"

At that time, the palace will definitely not agree to divorce.

If you don't make a decision, you may break the contract if you know a little about the man's shortcomings.

But after it is settled, it means that Miss Yuzhu is already a member of the Yuan family. The difference is that after getting married, she passed through the family, but now she is an unmarried daughter-in-law, and her identity has already been tagged with the Yuan family.

"Do your best and obey the destiny. Yuzhu is a good girl. As a grandmother, I want her to live happily too."

Xia Jing was a little worried, logically speaking, no one who can sit in the position of governor of Jingzhou is stupid.

Since Yuan Rujiang wanted to marry with Prince Qian's Mansion, he would not find a son with a bad reputation to marry. If so, then the two families would not be married, but enmity!
Of course, the premise of this is that the natal family should stand up straight and be able to support the woman, otherwise, the Yuan family reckoned that they could do anything.

"Princess, you are just too kind." Hongmei finally commented on her.

Xia Jing smiled and said nothing.

Little girl, she is still too immature. If she knows how many people and monsters she has killed in the last days, she will know whether she is kind or not.

Xia Jing took the tea from Baimei, took a sip of water and rinsed her mouth, then took the handkerchief from Hongmei and wiped her lips.

Baimei didn't want to keep mentioning the second room's marriage, so she changed the subject and said, "My lord, Guanshi Ding has sent a message that the sugar factory can officially start working, and he sent a servant to ask, are you going to the sugar factory tomorrow? "

Xia Jing was overjoyed when she heard the words, "It was done so quickly? Ding Daqiang is really capable!"

This is a treasure.

With a few more such capable subordinates, she doesn't have to worry about follow-up and keep up with the progress all the time.

"Whoever says no, it seems that he can easily solve any matter in his hands." Hongmei also affirmed that Ding Daqiang is a capable man.

The corners of Xia Jing's mouth couldn't stop curling up, "Then let's go see the sugar factory making sugar for the first time tomorrow."
