Chapter 15: Marriage

"Please." Wan Pingbo hurriedly said.

The housekeeper didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurried to invite someone into the house. Wan Pingbo also took his family out to welcome him, and everyone didn't know what the emperor's decree was, but they didn't dare to slack off.

The Zhao family thought as they walked out, today is the day Ran Xiao returns to the door, and the holy decree just came, could it be because of the grace given to Ran Xiao by the Zhao family? If this is the case, Ran Xiao's status will definitely go to the next level, and she, as a mother, can really feel at ease.

Chang Gonggong took the little eunuch into the door together, and after seeing Wan Pingbo and his party who came out, he took the holy decree from the little eunuch and sang loudly: "Wan Pingbo's Mansion Ran Ning received the decree——"

Ran Ning was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect this decree to be given to her, so she immediately walked a few steps quickly, parallel to Wan Pingbo, and then knelt down and said, "Ran Ning took the decree." ”

Although the people of Wan Pingbo and his house were also surprised, they still knelt down with Ran Ning according to the rules.

Gonggong Chang opened the holy decree and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Wanping Boshu Ran Ning, born in a famous family, talented and beautiful, cautious and courteous, respectful and deferential." Therefore, the marriage was given to the grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei Zhong Su as the main room, and the marriage was completed on a certain day. Chin this. ”

After listening to the holy decree, Ran Ning was completely stupid, she was not prepared for the sudden marriage at all, and no one had revealed it to her at all, who was that Zhong Su? She couldn't remember recognizing the man. Even if the emperor gives her a marriage, she can't be allowed to marry blindly and dumbly, right?

Along with her, there were also people in Wanpingbo Mansion. Wan Pingbo hadn't received any news before, so it stands to reason that the emperor should summon him first.

Yu Shi was also dumbfounded, she never expected that this one-in-10,000 chance to give marriage would really make Ran Ning bump into it. But that Zhong Su ......

And the most shocked of all the people is Shen Lian, he originally planned very well, when Ran Ning is old enough to leave the palace, it must be very difficult to marry, and then he will beg his mother to come to Wan Pingbo's mansion to ask for marriage, Wan Pingbo will also agree considering Ran Ning's age. Besides, Ran Ning and Ran Xiao are both concubines, and there is no one who is more noble than the other, he wants to raise Ran Ning as a concubine, and Ran Xiao has no right to put his beak. And by that time, he should have already soared, and he was not afraid that the Zhao family would jump out and interfere. But people are not as good as heaven, and now his plans are going to come to naught, who has the right to object to the marriage given by the emperor?

Father-in-law Chang seemed to have expected that Ran Ning would not be able to come back to his senses for a while, and after closing the holy decree, he said, "The third girl should thank you first." ”

Ran Ning barely regained a trace of consciousness, kowtowed, and said, "Thank Emperor Longen." ”

Father-in-law Chang handed over the holy decree to Ran Ning, then helped her up, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the third girl." ”

The people of Yifu also got up with Ran Ning, Wan Pingbo hurriedly grabbed Chang's father-in-law and asked, "Dare to ask father-in-law, what is going on?" ”

Father-in-law Chang looked at the people in the house with a smile and said, "Uncle, this is what the virtuous concubine specially asked the emperor for." Niangniang likes the talent of the three girls, and she can't bear to waste the three girls' good years in the palace. This Zhong Su Gongzi is the nephew of the virtuous concubine. This marriage, the general will also have a new will, which will not disappoint the talent of the three girls, and it is also the soul in heaven that comforts the old Wan Pingbo. ”

Chang Gonggong's words have been made very clear, the matchmaker given by the virtuous concubine, the emperor's decree, and the old Wan Pingbo was brought out again, and Wan Pingbo didn't even have the right to be dissatisfied.

"But ......" Wan Pingbo frowned slightly, and asked as if he was a little uncertain: "This Zhong Su Gongzi is the Zhaowu general who is known as the scholar of the Halberd?" ”

"Exactly. Apart from him, who else can make the virtuous concubine fall in love with his marriage? Chang Gonggong said with a smile.

The name of General Zhaowu is probably not well known, but the name of the scholar is well-known. This little general can be described as a special level in Beixin, and even the emperor is not too restrained by him. However, the reputation is not very good, and some people say that this scholar is a Shura who kills people without blinking.

At this time, Yu, who was originally very unhappy, smiled and folded the scholar? From this point of view, Ran Ning's marriage is really difficult to say whether it is fortunate or unfortunate.

Ran Ning has also heard of the name of the scholar of the folded halberd, and the taste in her heart is not good, and the marriage is naturally an honor, but her future husband is really difficult to make her feel at ease.

Father-in-law Chang saw Ran Ning's doubts and whispered to her: "The third girl, don't worry, this marriage is in my opinion, and it can't be wrong." ”

Ran Ning looked at Grandpa Chang, Grandpa Chang smiled slightly, and didn't solve it any more, just said to Wan Pingbo: "If there is nothing to do, the old slave will also go back to the palace to resume his life." ”

"Father-in-law Chang walks slowly." Even if Wan Pingbo was full of doubts, he didn't dare to delay Chang Father-in-law's time, and the housekeeper handed the red envelope to Wan Pingbo with a very eye-catching look, and Wan Pingbo handed it to Chang Grandpa. Father-in-law Chang was not polite, and accepted this heart.

Originally, Ran Xiao's return to the door today was the top priority in the house, but as soon as Ran Ning's decree of marriage arrived, Ran Xiao's return to the door was nothing.

The people in Wanpingbo's Mansion were still immersed in the emperor's will and did not completely come to their senses. Wan Pingbo asked Ran Ning to go to the study with him, and Yu asked Ran Mi to stay and entertain Shen Lian on the pretext of going to see the meals prepared in the kitchen, and he took Ran Ji to leave temporarily. Zhao also took the opportunity to say that he had prepared a few new materials for Ran Xiao and asked Ran Xiao to go with her to have a look. So there were only two people left in the originally lively main hall, Ran Mi and Shen Lian.

What kind of person is Ran Mi, Shen Lian knows very well, and he doesn't want to talk about it more, not to mention that he is still immersed in the unwillingness of being forced to dispel his plan, and he is completely unwilling to admit the fact that Ran Ning will become someone else's wife, or the main room. And Ran Mi felt that he didn't talk to Shen Lian, a nerd, for more than half a sentence, and sat there drinking tea while thinking about where to go to play at night.

On the way to the kitchen, followed by Yu's personal maids, Ran Ji naturally had no scruples, and said to Yu: "Mother, although Ran Ning was not trapped in the palace, Ran Ning's marriage was very pitiful. It is true that she must become an old girl after leaving the palace, but with the scholar who folds the halberd, maybe it won't be long before her life is gone. ”

At the beginning, when she heard the holy decree, Ran Ning was really jealous, and she hated to kill Ran Ning and replace her. But when she heard that Zhong Su was a scholar with a broken halberd, she almost laughed, and she seemed to have seen Ran Ning's tragic ending. What's the use of being beautiful? Aren't you going to be tortured to death?

Yu was also in a good mood, patted Ran Ji's hand, and said, "I believe in mother, no one can be richer and happier than you." ”

"Yes." Ran Ji smiled and grabbed Yu's arm, at this moment, she felt that she was the most proud person in the world. As for Ran Xiao? At a glance, she knew that she was not doing well, and she was too lazy to spend more time on Ran Xiao.

In Zhao's room, the maids were all waved out, and Zhao pulled Ran Ji to sit down, and asked with concern: "I see that your face is not good, but what's the matter?" ”

Zhao's question, Ran Xiao couldn't help it, and immediately turned red.

"What's going on?" Zhao's eyelids jumped, originally she thought it was because of the newlywed's tiredness, but now it seems that it is not what she thought.

"Mother." Ran Xiao's tears fell, and she cried: "I originally thought that I should marry a handsome son, a wishful husband, and I want to get a couple. Unexpectedly, there were already five maids in his room, and one was already a month pregnant. ”

"What?" The Zhao family was shocked, although this maid is not even a concubine, but if she really gives birth to a boy and a girl, it will be a matter of time before she is promoted to an aunt. Generally speaking, on the eve of marriage, the mother-in-law will send these intercourse rooms in order to show her love and recognition for her future daughter-in-law. But the Zhao family never thought that Mrs. Shen not only did not send those people away, but someone was pregnant, didn't this slap her Zhao family in the face?

Ran Xiao wiped her tears and said, "My mother-in-law said that it was an accident that I was pregnant, because the date had been set at that time, and I couldn't kill in the happy event, so I left the child." The other rooms were not sent away, but they were also afraid that they would seek death and life, which would be unlucky. She's said it all, what more can I say? ”

The Zhao family had been in the back house for so many years, how could she not understand Mrs. Shen's thoughts. It's only to blame that she was dazzled by this self-righteous marriage, and she didn't ask Shen Lian if she had sex at all. It's really not appropriate to deal with the maid and the child now, but time waits for no one, and the child is just a matter of the New Year.

"Mother, what should I do?" Ran Xiao is a daughter-in-law who has just passed through the door, and many things will be messed up once they happen.

Zhao forced himself to calm down, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiao'er, you listen to your mother." You have just passed the door, and your foundation is not stable, so it is really not appropriate to make a fuss. The most important thing now is to capture Shen Lian's heart, and then give birth to a boy and a girl, as long as Shen Lian's heart is with you, even if the maid gives birth to a child, she is just an unfavored. After a few years, your position is stable, isn't it easy to dispose of a concubine and a concubine? ”

"But ......" Ran Xiao was still unwilling.

Zhao patted her hand and said, "Listen to my mother, it won't be wrong." You are now in the main room, you have to learn to endure, and you can't let the Shen family find out that you are a little wrong. Otherwise, you will only be called a wife who is not virtuous. As long as you endure it for a while, you will be fine when you conceive a child. ”

Ran Xiao looked at Zhao with tears in his eyes.

Zhao Shi smiled at her and said, "Good boy, when you get the right to be a housekeeper, you don't have the final say on what matters in the inner courtyard of the Shen Mansion?" ”

"Hmm." Ran Xiao has no better way but to listen to her mother. She really wanted to pour the abortion pill on that maid immediately, and then send the person out. But she has just been newly married, and the old custom says that she must do good deeds within a year in order for the husband and wife to be harmonious.

Zhao hugged Ran Xiao and sighed silently. It is impossible for her to go back to her parents' house because of this and let her eldest brother make decisions for Ran Xiao. What can her eldest brother do? Go to Shen Lang Middle School? The emperor himself has a harem of 3,000, how can he care if a person who has not entered the government has not sent a room before marriage? If this is really involved, it is their Zhao family who suffers. So Ran Xiao can only swallow this matter raw, in order to report it later.
