Chapter 700: Rumors Are Spreading

Nan Xi nodded slowly: "Yes."

Zhan Ruo glanced sideways at Rong Yu, feeling a rare sense of pride in winning a victory: "Please, Lord Regent, step aside."

Rong Yu was silent, with an expression of indifference and indifference.

"Forget it." Zhan Ruo put down his chopsticks when he was full, stood up and pulled Nan Xi out, "Sister, let's go out and say that the regent is not allowed to follow, otherwise I won't say anything."

Rong Yu endured it for a moment, but still couldn't hold it back. He stretched out his hand and pulled Nan Xi back into his arms: "You don't want to talk if you like."

Nan Xi was simply impressed by these two people.

She shook Rong Yu's hand reassuringly and turned to look at Zhan Ruo: "Let me tell you what you have to say. Whether or not to have a daughter is a matter between Rong Yu and me. I can't make the decision alone."

Zhan Ruo stared at Rong Yu.

Rong Yu didn't want to pay attention to him at all. He helped Nan Xi to sit down on the soft couch and poured her a cup of tea, completely ignoring Zhan Ruo's presence.

"The hexagram shows that this woman is cold and will encounter love disasters. She may only live to be twenty years old." Zhan Ruo said, "But if you put yourself to death and then live, death may not be real death. In short, life is quite ups and downs. In the end Her destiny is truly in her own hands."

Nan Xi frowned: "Can you be more detailed?"

"It means he has a cold temperament, just like the regent of your family. If you don't love him, he will do it. If you love him, he will risk his life..." Zhan Ruo's voice was slightly stuck, and she really didn't want to say a single good word about Rong Yu, " After encountering a love disaster, there will be a rebirth at the risk of death. No one can see her fate after rebirth, it is completely in her own hands. "

"Can't you see it?" Rong Yu frowned, "Can't the high priest see it either?"

Zhanruo shrugged: "What I can't see means that she may not stay in Dongling in the future. If you raise a daughter, it may be in vain."

Nan Xi imagined a daughter with a temperament similar to Rong Yu's, and frowned. If a girl is so cold, even if she likes someone, she will be scared away. How can there be love disaster?

If she won’t stay in Tanglin, then where will she go?

Even if she goes to other countries, the Jiuxiao Pavilion's power is present in the Jiuzhou Continent, so she and Rong Yu should know where she is.

Nan Xi pondered for a moment: "What does this have to do with whether Dongling Sheji is prosperous?"

"Because she is the biggest factor that determines whether the nine countries in the world can be unified."

…

During the New Year holiday, in addition to family reunions and routine New Year greetings among relatives and friends, matchmakers who specialize in matching marriages will also seize this rare opportunity and act non-stop.

Since ancient times, it has been the case that men should be married when they are young, and women should be married when they are young.

Especially in the rich and powerful families of the imperial capital, when their sons or daughters reach the marriageable age, they will hire reliable matchmakers to help them propose marriages. Excellent young men are the husbands that girls dream of marrying, and girls with both talent and beauty will also be attracted by them. The matchmaker has crossed the threshold.

No, the outstanding legitimate son of Xie Shoufu's family was noticed, and matchmakers started coming to his door on the second day of the lunar new year.

"Jin'er?" Mrs. Xie's expression was subtle.

"Yes, the Ninth Young Master is already young, right? Now that he has passed the imperial examination and his career is going smoothly, should we consider marrying a virtuous wife so that she can take care of the Ninth Young Master's daily life?" Zhang, a famous matchmaker in the imperial capital, played three tricks With a sharp tongue, "There is a suitable candidate right now——"

"Jin'er already has someone she likes." Mrs. Xie interrupted in time, not letting the matchmaker tell the woman's name, "I'm sorry, I made your trip in vain."

The matchmaker's voice faltered, as if she didn't believe it: "Ninth Young Master has someone he likes?"

"It's absolutely true." Mrs. Xie said, and asked the maid to get some scraps of silver. "It's a happy new year. You can take this scrap of silver back and buy two new clothes."

Matchmaker Zhang came here with full confidence. Unexpectedly, she was stillborn before she finished speaking. She suddenly felt that the money was no longer good, and frowned tightly: "Whose girl is this?"

Mrs. Xie thought about it and felt that it was up to him to decide what happened to her son. When he decided to make it public and let everyone know, it was also his own business. It was best for her not to interfere.

Of course, in order to prevent matchmakers from visiting, it would not be good to make up an unknown woman, so Mrs. , I asked his father to take care of his son’s life-long affairs.”

Upon hearing this, Matchmaker Zhang knew that there was no chance, so she had to take the money and leave.

Mrs. Xie sat in the hall and pondered. Maybe she should ask her son how to announce the matter between him and Yaoyao? When will it be announced to the world? When the age of marriage is reached, matchmakers will come one after another if this continues, and they will never give up until the Xie family has a happy event.

"Where is the Ninth Young Master now?"

The maid replied: "I'm going out, with Prince Yao."

Mrs. Xie frowned: "These two children are tired of staying together all day, why haven't you thought about how to finalize this matter?"

Although both parents had met and agreed to the matter, there was no formal etiquette or public announcement. The matchmakers outside didn't know that Xie Jiuye liked a man.

However, before Mrs. Xie could speak, rumors had already spread.

"I heard that the ninth master of the Xie family likes men, do you know if it is true or not?"

"Isn't it? Doesn't he always like to hang out in flowers and be very romantic?"

"Maybe it's just a cover-up."

"Which man does he like? Those beautiful boys sent from Northern Xinjiang before?"

"You all can't imagine that that person is actually the Prince of Huainan..."

"What?!" A startled voice, like a thunderclap, "Impossible! The King of Huainan would never agree to such a thing! This is simply... It is completely immoral and shameless!"

"If this is true, is it a common shame for the Xie family and the royal family?"

"If Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent knew about this, they would definitely not sit idly by. It is too unorthodox and shocking."

"What do you know?" One of them said mysteriously in a self-righteous tone, "If the Prince of Huainan is with the Ninth Master of the Xie Family, what does it mean? Don't you know?"

"What does it mean?"

The man held the teacup, and the corner of his mouth raised a pretended mysterious smile: "Two men together means that they will not have heirs."

"You mean..."

"Think about it yourself."
