Chapter 188 Asking for a wife with great fanfare
Before the end of the year, a very sensational thing happened in the capital.
Zhu Jinke, the young son of a well-known wealthy family in Qing Dynasty, made a big show of saying that he was in love with the little princess of Prince Jin's Mansion. Jin Yan, who was the protagonist in his story, knew nothing about it.
She couldn't even remember where she had seen Zhu Jinke.
But if the Zhu family can develop such a large business, they must have their own connections in the court.
The most important thing is that Yinggui, who is now favored in the harem, is Zhu Jinke's sister, and she can also be regarded as the person who can talk in the emperor's ear.
When the rumors first came out, Jin Yan didn't take them to heart at all.
Until Zhu Jinke came to visit in person.
The gifts alone have been neatly placed in Nuanyang Courtyard, even occupying the entrance.
The gift list included ivory from the north, silk porcelain from the south, and even pearl agate from other countries...
It can be said that there are all kinds of good things from all over the world.
Jinyan looked at the things in the yard in a daze.
"How was it brought in?"
Logically speaking, if a man she didn't know brought something to her, her eldest brother would probably kick him out directly.
Haitang said, "He said he met you in Sichuan City and fell in love with you at first sight. He has been thinking about you these days and asked around, only to find out that you turned out to be the little princess of Prince Jin's Mansion, so he came here in a hurry."
"The prince didn't intend to accept it, but he didn't know the relationship between you, so he let the princess make her own decision."
Jin Yan said dryly, "Send it to where it comes from. How unbecoming is it to give these things to you for the first time when we meet!"
She was a little angry.
Zhu Jinke was too ignorant.
He was so arrogant for fear that others wouldn't know, which bothered her.
After experiencing the events in her previous life, she could be said to stay away from men. They could be relatives and friends, but if she wanted to have a relationship between a man and a woman, then forget it.
She has long since given up on this idea.
Isn't this the reason why you proposed to recruit a son-in-law in the first place?
Among the wealthy families in the capital, who would be willing to let their precious son become their son-in-law?
She thought that no one would provoke her again, but she didn't know that someone who didn't play by the rules would come along.
As for Zhu Jinke, she had never seen him before.
After a while, the people below said again, "Master Zhu is waiting at the gate of the palace. Even if the princess wants to refuse, she should refuse in person."
"Ask him to wait in the flower hall."
Jin Yan changed into more formal clothes, and when she walked over, she saw Zhu Jinke in a gorgeous outfit from a distance, and she wished she could dress up like a peacock.
He looks like a human being, with an image of a suave young man. If it weren't for the ostentatious clothes on his body, no one would have thought that he belonged to the wealthy Zhu family.
When he looked at Jin Yan, a look of surprise quickly flashed across his eyes.
The corner of his mouth immediately opened into a smile.
When he was in Sichuan City, he didn't recognize her identity. A while ago, he learned that Princess Jiaojiao suddenly appeared in the capital. He wasn't interested at all, but when he saw the portrait from someone else, he was stunned.
Isn't he the young master who sat opposite the Imperial Master in Sichuan City?
Just say you don’t look like a man!
I didn’t expect that women’s clothing would be so popular.
So dazzling.
His eyeballs were about to pop out.
It wasn't until Jin Yan was in front of her that she calmed down a little and cupped her hands, "Princess Jiayu, do you still remember me?"
"Remember, the bastard who tried to tease me."
Jin Yan's faint words made the smile on his face fall, but he was not annoyed.
He never gets angry with beauty.
"It was because of my poor eyesight that I failed to recognize the princess. Don't blame me, Your Highness."
Jin Yan didn't say anything, she just walked around him and sat down on the main seat, motioning for Zhu Jinke to sit down as well.
"Things have passed. What is Mr. Zhu trying to do recently?"
Her voice was a little colder.
A pair of almond eyes were stained with ice, but they were also exquisite and beautiful.
Zhu Jinke thought that he had seen a lot of beauties before, but he had never seen Jin Yan look so refreshing.
"I want to marry the princess."
He said it very naturally, his eyes full of affection, all focused on her. People who didn't know it would think that he loved Jin Yan deeply.
But it was obviously only the second time the two met, and they had barely interacted with each other the first time.
This person is really...
Passionate!
Jin Yan sneered, "So your Zhu family's behavior is so shameless? If you want to marry me, you first mess up my reputation and then pay the minimum price to marry me?"
"I……"
Zhu Jinke was ashamed, "I was just drunk at the time and accidentally let the matter slip. I didn't expect them to spread the word. I hope the princess can forgive me."
"Whether it is accidental or intentional, I am too lazy to care. I came to see you today because I hope Mr. Zhu has thought clearly. Firstly, I will not marry, and Prince Jin's Mansion only wants a son-in-law. Secondly, I will only meet you once." Because of this, if I hear someone gossiping and saying nonsense outside again, don’t blame me for calling the police to arrest them. Come on..."
"I'm not interested in peacocks!"
Zhu Jinke hurriedly looked down at the clothes on his body and tugged at the corner of his mouth, "I... this is the most luxurious clothes in the family. My mother said that girls like rich men."
As he said that, he said a little disappointedly, "It seems that the princess doesn't like it."
"Then be careful next time I see you."
Jin Yan was speechless.
"That's not necessary. It's better not to meet each other next time, otherwise we won't be able to explain clearly."
With that said, she got up and was about to leave.
Behind him, Zhu Jinke hurriedly asked, "What if I'm willing to marry you?"
Jin Yan paused and looked sideways.
Although the Zhu family is not a noble family, they should not be reduced to the point of sacrificing their legitimate children and grandchildren to cling to the powerful.
If he became a son-in-law, wouldn't it put the Zhu family on the pillar of shame?
Even if you gain power in the future, you will still be laughed at.
What a strange idea this was, Jin Yan couldn't figure it out.
Seeming to see her doubts, Zhu Jinke said hurriedly, "To be honest, my parents are urging me. After much thought, I can't find anyone I want to marry. The only one I like is marrying outside, so why don't I do it?" Get married."
Jin Yan's mouth twitched.
When Prince Jin's Mansion spread the word, it was also to stop Youyou from talking. After all, his age was there.
Now suddenly there was a man with incredible wealth who wanted to marry into her wife. She had never imagined this possibility.
It felt interesting again, and suddenly I became interested.
"Do you know what it means to be a wife?"
Zhu Jinke gritted his teeth and said, "I know! I just want to think that I am a member of Prince Jin's Mansion and be gossiped about in the future. I don't have the skills to be around others. I have grown up among rumors since I was a child, so I have never been afraid of these."
He spoke frankly and looked like he was giving a generous sacrifice.
Jin Yan found it very interesting.
"This is no ordinary gossip, this is a spine-tingler."
"That's okay. The son-in-law in Prince Jin's Mansion is also a noble son-in-law. Come to think of it, they don't dare to go too far."
Zhu Jinke said it sincerely, but Jinyan didn't believe a word he said, but whether he had other motives or not, she also had this idea. .
