Princess Ning is very satisfied with the current situation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
During these days, Ah Chen was often called into the palace, and the reaction of the Min family was not as fierce as before, Mrs. Min did not act other than crying with her twice, and everyone knew that the Min family had accepted their fate.
The Ministry of Rites has already begun to prepare for Min Jiangchen's title, and Min Jiangchen has also locked himself in the house and no longer participates in any banquets. Now as long as they wait for the prince and them to come back from Western Xia, everything will be settled.
Princess Ning took the carriage to Min's house, and as soon as she got off the car, Mrs. Min greeted her.
Princess Ning hurriedly said with concern: "How is it?
Mrs. Min shook her head and looked sad: "I rarely talk all day, I do needlework in the house, and I have lost a lot of weight, and I feel really distressed to look at it." ”
Mrs. Min's eyes turned red as she spoke, if Langhua could still persuade Ah Chen here, Ah Chen wouldn't be able to listen to what they said now.
"Then how can it be done," Princess Ning said, "The court has not yet said that it will definitely want Ah Chen to go to Western Xia, what can Ah Chen do if he spoils his body like this." ”
"That's what I said. ”
The two of them talked and arrived in Min Jiangchen's house, the little maid stood aside with the food, with a bewildered look, and when she saw Mrs. Min as if she had received amnesty, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Madam, please persuade Miss, Miss refuses to eat again." ”
Before Mrs. Min could speak, Princess Ning had already stepped into the inner room first: "Ah Chen, how can you not eat?"
Min Jiangchen hung his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and when he heard Princess Ning's voice, he immediately put down the things in his hand and stood up to salute Princess Ning.
"What are you doing?" Princess Ning's voice was soft, as if it was no different from usual.
Min Jiangchen smiled hard: "I'm making clothes for my mother, and I use double-sided embroidery that I learned from my aunt in the palace." ”
The woman who is ready to marry has to make some needlework for herself and take it to her husband's house, so the queen mother arranged for the palace people to teach Min Jiangchen, and Min Jiangchen learned to make clothes for Mrs. Min, obviously because she was a princess, she could never return to Daqi and could not meet her parents.
"Ah Chen," Princess Ning's eyes also turned red, "Don't be too sad, after all, the Ministry of Rites hasn't issued an order yet, and everything has room to turn around." ”
"Isn't the Ministry of Rites even titled?" Min Jiangchen smiled suddenly, "It's called 'Princess Fu'an'." ”
Princess Ning couldn't help but be surprised: "Who said this?"
Mrs. Min looked sad: "Yesterday, several county lords from Lizhuang Wangfu and Shu Wangfu came, and one of them accidentally said that he missed his mouth. "These people are just here to see the jokes, especially that Qi Yuhuan, who talks and acts like a matter of course, ridicules Ah Chen and takes Langhua out to ridicule, she is because of Qi Yuhuan's identity as the county lord, so she did not have a cold face, because from now on, Ah Chen has to rely on the royal family to take care of her, and they can't offend the royal family for the sake of their daughter.
Princess Ning pulled Min Jiangchen to sit down, "Even if the title is drafted, it may be someone else, I am asking people to inquire, the Queen Mother has not yet determined, and it is said that it depends on the meaning of the eldest princess of Dongping." ”
A glimmer of hope ignited in Mrs. Min's heart, but when she saw Princess Ning's frowning brows, she understood that Princess Ning was comforting Ah Chen.
Princess Ning said softly: "Ah Chen, think about it again, whether you want to marry the Wang family, maybe this is the last chance." ”
Min Jiangchen shook his head firmly, and showed a slight smile with difficulty for a while: "I have to wait until the news of the eldest princess of Dongping can be confirmed, which means that I can wait until Langhua returns to Kyoto? ”
Mrs. Min looked at Min Jiangchen's smiling face, and felt sad in her heart: "Silly child, even if you don't wait for the eldest princess of Dongping, I won't ask you to marry so soon." This is how she comforted herself these days, no matter how anxious she was, it would be a year before she really set off for Xixia.
Min Jiangchen laughed: "I forgot, there are still many etiquettes to go...... Isn't that great...... I can stay at home for a few more days. ”
Mrs. Min almost choked up, and hurriedly turned her head away.
Princess Ning persuaded Min Jiangchen to eat some food, and the two of them watched Min Jiangchen eat a bowl of japonica rice porridge before going to the hall to talk.
Princess Ning looked at Mrs. Min: "There are some things that it is time to speak, and the family will start to prepare Ah Chen's dowry, in addition to those prepared by the Ministry of Rites, we will also bring more silver to Ah Chen." ”
Mrs. Min was a little surprised: "Didn't you say that there are rules for marrying the princess......?
"Uncle, when has this been, you don't have any numbers in your heart," Princess Ning shook her head, "Uncle has been in the office for so many years, and he doesn't know the rules here?"
Mrs. Min was at a loss.
Princess Ning took a sip of tea before continuing: "Ah Chen is married to Western Xia alone, how long can the dowry of the imperial court be used alone? Recruit cronies and cultivate manpower, which one does not need money, you see my small Ning Wangfu, there are thousands of taels of silver that are not on the books for a year, not to mention the objects I reward on weekdays, you can't let Ah Chen go to Western Xia, there is no one around him, and there is no money." ”
Mrs. Min's heart was cold.
"The Queen Mother will also give Ah Chen some things from time to time these days, which are all to be taken to Xixia as they are, and Ah Chen's grace in Xixia will be used in the future, and you must put them away properly. ”
Mrs. Min nodded, she still felt strange why the Queen Mother would let the grandmothers in the palace come to the door frequently in the past two days.
"If you want to choose a few wedding girls, you must be beautiful and loyal, preferably younger, in case Ah Chen can't keep Li Mo's heart, you have to rely on them. ”
Mrs. Min listened to the cold hands and feet, they came to Kyoto this time, they didn't expect to encounter such a situation, knowing that Ah Chen might be friendly, she asked people to go to her mother's house to send a letter, asking her two younger sisters to come over to help, but after all, it takes a few days to walk from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the capital, and now that they have not arrived, there is no one around her who has an idea.
Princess Ning seemed to think of the situation when she got married, "When I was going to marry Ning Wangfu, my brother also found two dowry girls, so that I could prepare for emergencies, but the prince didn't have that mind, so I let them take care of things in the palace, I am just marrying in Daqi, even if there is something in the future, my mother's family can still help, Ah Chen is different......
Mrs. Min understood, no matter how long their hands were, they couldn't reach out to Xixia, thinking of this, Mrs. Min broke out in a cold sweat: "But where are we going to find someone?"
Don't say that people are not easy to find, even if the money can't be scraped together, she can only sell the land in her hometown and Shandong, I'm afraid it will only be tens of thousands of taels of silver, how can it.
Princess Ning thought for a moment: "People, I can help you find two in the Han clan, as for the silver...... Uncle has been an honest official all these years, so he shouldn't have saved anything, so I can also make some together for Ah Chen. ”
Mrs. Min's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly shirked it: "Then how can we do it, we must not accept it." ”
