Chapter 169: Someone from the South
Early in the morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Ruan Jingxin came to Xiao's courtyard. There is no other reason, it is Aunt Wang's mother's family who came from the south and is ready to go to the wedding ceremony.
Ruan Jingli didn't leave the courtyard as early as the first two days, and she looked like a girl who was about to leave the cabinet. But today I also came to say hello early, planning to hide behind the screen to see my future husband.
The old man of the Wang family came to the door in person, and brought Wang Jianli, that is, the original fisherman and the other three sons to the Ruan Mansion. Master Wang naturally went to the front to greet Ruan Guanqi, and Mrs. Wang brought her four sons to Xiao's place.
In this era, the concubine's maiden family is not a relative. When the concubine enters the mansion, she is an independent individual. So Ruan Jingli is actually not a big deal to marry Aunt Wang's brother. In the palace, there are often two generations of people who serve the king together. Outside, there are often marriages between big families, and the issue of generations has long been unclear, so they are generally separate.
Ruan Jingxin also hid behind the screen, peeked out through the gap, and saw that the living room was full of people. It's kind of funny to say this time. The four sons of this old man are all here, not to say which one he has in advance, but to bring the eight characters of all his sons to the Ruan family to choose.
The Wang family still has some hope. Ruan Jingxin looked at the four young people and lowered her eyes, concentrating on drinking tea. Ruan Jingli looked at the people carefully many times, and some couldn't make up their minds.
Lord Wang's eldest son, Wang Jianli, looks elegant, but I heard that the backyard is not very quiet, although there is no main house, there are already many concubines and rooms. His identity is the most legitimate inheritance of the family business, but Ruan Jingli will be a little upset when she thinks about the women around him.
The second Wang Jianyi is two circles fatter than his brother, and the whole person is smiling, and he really can't see his eyes. Although I heard that he only had a maid in the room, just looking at the appearance conditions, Ruan Jingli passed him.
The third Wang Jianren looked a little dull, always lowered his head and didn't speak, he looked more than the upper and lower than the bottom, and he was barely handsome. From entering the house to saluting to sitting down and drinking tea, everything is decent, never saying a word more.
The fourth Wang Jianzhi is only one year older than Ruan Jingli, he seems to be a lively character, he is the youngest sister-in-law in the family, he should be more favored than others, just dressing up looks more refined and rich than the others. He was a talkative, with big eyes and a clever look, and his red lips and white teeth were two points better than that of ordinary girls.
"Sister, won't you help me get an idea?" Ruan Jingli asked with a pouting when she saw Ruan Jingxin drinking tea and eating snacks by herself.
Ruan Jingxin kept eating, and said lightly, "This is your life, and you can't complain about others if you choose it yourself." ”
Ruan Jingli thought about it, she didn't plan to let Ruan Jingxin come up with an idea. Even if Ruan Jingxin really helped, she didn't necessarily dare to listen to it, so her eyes rolled, and she remembered the things that her aunt had inquired about, and secretly had an idea in her heart, so she asked the maid next to her to go out and muttered a few words in Yuya's ear.
Yuya used the kung fu of pouring tea to give Xiao Shi a gesture. Xiao sighed in her heart, she also guessed that Ruan Jingli would look at one or four. But these two, in her eyes, are not good people.
"In this case, Mrs. Wang will leave the eight-character grass post of the fourth son. As soon as Xiao Shi spoke, some people were happy and some were worried.
Who doesn't want to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official? The four brothers are afraid that they all know in their hearts, and whoever marries this person will have the next generation's chances of entering the office.
Mrs. Wang didn't care about this, her youngest son was really pampered, so she was also very happy in her heart, and without saying a word, she took out her youngest son's straw sticker and handed it to Xiao with both hands. Wang Jianzhi looked proud, but there was a strange expression in it.
Xiao Shi smiled at this time, and then asked Ruan Jingli to come out to greet him. Now that the family affair has been decided, the relationship between the two families is that of in-laws, and it makes sense to come out to see the ceremony at this time. Besides, if people are sincere, they must let people see what the girl looks like.
Ruan Jingli walked out with a red face, she was already pretty, and her shy appearance at this time was three points more beautiful.
Wang Jianli looked up and down and pouted his lips and didn't speak, Wang Jianyi just smirked twice, Wang Jianren bowed his head after returning the salute in a decent manner, but Wang Jianzhi looked a little restrained, and even blushed a little.
When Ruan Jingli stepped back, Mrs. Wang saw the disappointment on her youngest son's face and knew that he was satisfied, and she was even happier. began to discuss with Xiao Shi about the ceremony.
The marriage of the Dayan Dynasty is also quite exquisite, starting from the proposal of marriage, and the completion of every procedure after that, it generally takes half a year. However, both of them want to hurry up, so naturally the sooner the better.
Xiao Shi came forward to negotiate the matter, and everything after that was taught to Aunt Bai to do it herself, and let Aunt Wang assist. Aunt Wang was almost seven months old at this time, but she didn't delay her at all, and she had to stretch out her hand for everything.
Ruan Jingxin didn't care about those things, she just married Ruan Jingli far away, she didn't do anything, because Ruan Jingli's own choice was stupid enough. None of the Wang family is really smart, and the only one who is a little better thinks he is very smart and plays low-key everywhere. And Ruan Jingli chose the one, which is not the stupidest, but it is definitely second.
"I'm really worried about it!" Ruan Jingxin smiled and shook her head, since the prince was punished in the palace, he really won the emperor's heart. The emperor directly entrusted him with the task of receiving the envoys of the neighboring countries in February. And Dongfang Xu, who hasn't shown up for a long time, is finally back.
"Miss, where are we going?" Seocho already knew Ruan Jingxin's habits very well. Seeing that she put down her things and began to clean her hands, I knew that she wanted to go out.
Ruan Jingxin smiled, "I haven't been to Yungui Tower for a long time." ”
Seocho couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, "The slave maid will bring you a coat and ask Xiao Wuzi to inform the car." ”
Ruan Jingxin can be said to have a high degree of freedom when she is on duty with the prince, and she can usually leave after the morning. She went all the way to Yungui Tower with Erui and Seocho, and did not enter the courtyard directly, but went straight to the second floor from the gate.
"Nguyen...... Female officer?"
Ruan Jingxin's footsteps paused, and the voice was ......, "Young Master Yan, why did you come to the capital?"
"Sure enough, it's Lady Ruan. Yan Yuheng smiled slightly, and his whole face looked even more charming. "I'll come to the capital for a long time to see if there is any good way. ”
This kind of thing still uses the Yan family's leading young master? Ruan Jingxin didn't believe it. "Then Yan Gongzi, please, I'll go first. ”
"Please stay!" Yan Yuheng stepped forward, "If Lady Ruan is not busy, why don't you have a cup of tea next?"
Before Ruan Jingxin could open her mouth, she heard a lazy voice on the other side say, "Who invites you to tea? It's not easy to invite my guests away!"
