Chapter 3656 Red Beans Are Born in the Southern Country
It snowed all night.
The wind stirred up snow particles and made a sound on the window lattice.
A girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, wrapped in a green cloak, holding an exquisite porcelain jar, stood under the plum blossom tree, using a small silver spoon to carefully transfer the snow on the plum blossom stamens into the jar.
The girl has a very beautiful appearance, with almond eyes, a beautiful nose, and a little red lips.
The little maid was waiting beside her, clasping her hands, stamping her feet and smiling: "It's so cold. It's been snowing for three days in a row, and the girl collected seven or eight jars of snow, which is enough for making tea."
"There are still a few green plum trees in my mother's yard, but I don't know if they have bloomed yet."
Just as the girl finished speaking, she saw a young man running in and shouting: "Sister, sister! The green plum blossoms in my mother's yard are blooming! I specifically asked the servants not to move, leaving them to collect snow for my sister!"
Seeing that he was wearing only a few clothes, the girl scolded him: "A Tai, you are wearing too little, be careful of catching a cold."
"I just started practicing martial arts and I feel hot." The boy was only eight or nine years old. He was very handsome and had a naughty expression. "There are guests from my mother's side. Please invite my sister to come and sit down."
"who?"
"I don't recognize him."
"Help me put this in the ice cellar and store it."
The girl handed the jar to her brother, patted the snow on her body, and led the maid to her mother's yard.
Sure enough, there are guests.
A graceful lady came. When she saw the girl approaching, her eyes lit up.
"This is Hong Luan, right? She is indeed a child of heavenly fragrance and national beauty." The lady smiled.
The girl bowed her knees and saluted.
Seeing that she was well-educated and well-controlled, the noble lady became more and more satisfied. She smiled at Mrs. Xu and said, "I have seen quite a few noble ladies from high families, but I have never seen anyone who is more outstanding than Hong Luan."
Xu smiled and said: "This child does not deserve the praise of the princess. Hongluan, this is the princess of Nanping County."
"I've met the princess."
"Get up quickly." The Princess of Nanping County took off the bracelet on her hand, put it into her hand, and said with a smile, "I don't have a daughter, which is a pity. I feel friendly when I see your child."
Wei Hongluan looked at her mother.
Xu said: "Since it is a reward from the princess and princess, you can take it."
Wei Hongluan then knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Princess of the County, for the reward."
"Sit down quickly."
The princess of Nanping County looked at her very happily.
Wei Hongluan felt a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, Princess Nanping quickly left and went back.
"This bracelet is too expensive, mother." Wei Hongluan put the bracelet on the table and sat next to her mother, a little puzzled, "Father is only a fourth-grade official, far less prominent than the county prince's palace, why did the county princess take the initiative to come to our house? ?”
Mrs. Xu picked up the bracelet, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Hongluan, you are not young anymore. It's time to discuss marriage."
Wei Hongluan felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Mom, I'm only fourteen after the Chinese New Year. I still want to stay at home with you and my father for two more years."
"Fourteen is not too young, let's make a decision first."
"Mother……"
"Princess Nanping loves your beauty and courtesy, and is extremely satisfied with you. This visit in person shows the sincerity of the prince's palace. I have discussed with your father. Although we have high hopes for this marriage, the other party is the concubine of the prince's palace. And worthy of it.”
Hongluan didn't expect that her parents would decide her life-long destiny, so she frowned and said, "But I've never seen what that person looks like."
"Don't worry, your father has met him. He is an excellent child. He is a few years older than you. He is the most knowledgeable and sensible. He is also clean and has no one else around him."
