Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Then Madam Yuan asked, "Is your daughter home?"

Censor Cui glanced at the sun outside and said, "At home, cooling off in the backyard with her snakes."

It's cool enough.

Just thinking about that scene, Mrs. Yuan was so scared that she couldn't hold the teacup in her hand.

I could only force a smile and say, "Dear, your daughter is really a unique girl."

Censor Cui hummed, lowered his head, pushed aside the tea leaves, took a sip and stopped talking.

It would be strange if the high and mighty Duke and Duchess came in person without some big news.

If they don't say anything, he won't ask. Let's see who can outlast the other.

After breaking off the engagement with Miss Shen, he came to inquire about his daughter.

The Cui family is not an ungrateful group of people. The humiliation suffered by Miss Shen is equivalent to that suffered by the Cui family. Humph, there is no way to marry his daughter.

Madam Yuan shook her head, putting aside the images of snakes and insects. Not daring to say anything more, she hurriedly said, "Actually, I came here to discuss your daughter's marriage with Lord Cui..."

"Stop, stop," Censor Cui said, fearing they might ask for his daughter's hand in marriage. He quickly held out his hand to stop them. "My daughter cannot marry into a wealthy family. Our family is not well-off, and we don't have much dowry, so we dare not marry into a family of higher status. I appreciate the Duke and his wife's kindness, but forget about marriage. We can't marry into a family of higher status, we can't marry into a family of higher status."

Yuan Mengxing looked at his wife in confusion. Did he hear correctly? What was Cui Tiezui talking about? What about not daring to marry someone above his station? What about the Duke's Mansion? What did it have to do with their affection?

Mrs. Yuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She finally understood what he had said. It turned out that Censor Cui thought that the couple had come to seek marriage for his son.

"Master Cui, please don't be so hasty to refuse," Madam Yuan said. "Today, my husband and I have been entrusted by the old lady and the wife of the Fang family of the General of the Cavalry to come and ask for a marriage for the eldest son of the Fang family."

"What...what?" Censor Cui was dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time. "What did Madam say? The Fang...the Fang family?"

"Yes, it's the Fang family, the Fang family of the General of the Cavalry!" Madam Yuan said with a smile, "The old lady and the mistress of the Fang family came to my house personally and asked me to come to your house to act as a matchmaker. I can't believe that I would have such good fortune in my life. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night last night. I am happy that the General's Mansion has put aside their past grudges and agreed to let me be the matchmaker. I am also happy that the Fang family and our Cui family are both excellent families. If this can be successful, what a great merit it will be for me. Master Cui, why don't you agree to such a good marriage?"

"From the old lady to the madam and even the major general, everyone in the Fang family praises Miss Lan'er and loves her immensely. If Miss Lan'er were to marry into the family, I guarantee she wouldn't suffer a single grievance. She'd truly be the envy of countless people. Yet, you despise such a good family? Master Cui, I have something to say about you. How can you be so pedantic? How could you say you're unworthy just to refuse someone? Do you have any dissatisfaction with the Fang family?"

Censor Cui opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Madam Yuan who kept chattering. The most eloquent person in the Great Zhou Dynasty had become a chatterbox. He was in disbelief.

The General of Cavalry's Mansion?

Want to become his relative?

is it possible?

The Fang family is one of the top families in the entire Great Zhou. Marrying a princess is not too much for them. How could such a good thing happen to his daughter?

Thinking of his own daughter with a snake hanging around her neck, wandering around the yard and laughing while scaring the little girl, Censor Cui's mouth twitched.

Seeing that Madam Yuan was about to say something, Imperial Censor Cui couldn't help but ask, "Is the eldest son of the Fang family mentally healthy?"

Otherwise, why would he fall for his daughter?

Could it be that this injury caused him to have his head broken?

But, if his head was really damaged... Oh my God, the Fang family made such a great sacrifice for the court. In this case, let alone someone proposing marriage, even if they didn't come, he would take the initiative to let his daughter marry someone else and take care of her husband for the rest of her life.

Censor Cui raised his head and looked at Madam Yuan with a heroic expression.

Madam Yuan was almost confused by his train of thought. It took her a while to realize what he meant. She couldn't help but burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face. "Master Cui is truly humorous and witty. Oh, I almost choked with laughter. Oh my God, how can you speak of your own daughter like that? I'm not saying this to you, as a father, how can you belittle your own daughter like that? You, my daughter, will become the grandmother of the General's Mansion in the future. You must be more careful with your words and at least give her some face. Haha, my husband, no wonder you said Master Cui was beating around the bush. This time, I've finally learned my lesson."

Censor Cui was confused by Mrs. Yuan's words. Considering that he had just misunderstood that the couple came to propose marriage to Yuan Zhilin, he did not dare to speak carelessly this time.

It wasn't until Madam Yuan smiled and wiped her tears with a handkerchief that he asked cautiously, "Madam, was what you just said true? You weren't teasing me or that silly girl, were you?"

Mrs. Yuan wanted to laugh when she saw his expression, but Yuan Mengxing's eyes twitched.

Who would be so narrow-minded as to dare to come to Cui Yushi's house and tease him about such a thing? Unless he doesn't want to go out in the future, he will definitely be scolded by him.

"The Duke of Wei's Mansion has no grudge against Lord Cui, nor against your daughter. Why would they tease you with such a thing? You still don't believe it, but it really was the old lady and the wife of the General of the Cavalry's Mansion who came to my house and invited me here. They said they were interested in your daughter and wanted to marry her to become their Fang family's grandmother, their own legitimate grandmother."

As he was explaining the details, Censor Cui suddenly stood up, still with an expression of disbelief, and asked seriously, "Are you marrying my daughter Lan'er?"

Madam Yuan was confused by his question and asked doubtfully, "Yes, I heard the general's wife say your daughter's name is Lan'er. Could it be that Master Cui has another daughter?"

I haven't heard of it. Isn't it said that Censor Cui and his wife are deeply in love, and his wife only gave birth to this one daughter for him, and he didn't even take a concubine?

Upon hearing this, Censor Cui shook his head like a rattle and said hurriedly, "No, no, I only have one daughter, and she's named Cui Lan'er."

It was not until this time that he could finally be sure that the Fang family had really sent someone to propose marriage.

The eldest son of the Fang family is not mentally ill. Three generations of his ancestors have been attracted to his daughter.

Why do I suddenly feel proud of it?

His daughter would...would...

Forget it, it’s okay to raise centipedes.

Musical instruments, chess, calligraphy and paintings cannot be sold for money, but centipedes can be sold for ten taels of silver each. How good at making money! How amazing!

After Mrs. Yuan finished laughing, she glanced at Censor Cui's expression and asked cautiously, "I wonder if Master Cui is satisfied with this marriage?"

Censor Cui suppressed his excitement, making himself appear calmer. He nodded lightly, but then realized his movements were a little light, fearing that Madam Yuan might not understand, so he nodded again hurriedly, "Satisfied, of course I am satisfied."
