Chapter 160: Joy and Prosperity
On this day, the gate of Jiang's mansion was really lively. The crowd of onlookers was three circles away, and the road at the entrance of Shangshu Mansion was almost blocked. Just because of the royal will, to marry the lord of Hong'an.
The reputation of the lord of Hong'an in Beijing is now known to everyone, and his beauty is pleasing to the queen mother. But I don't know if it's jealous and red-faced, and has been framed and imprisoned many times. There are those who pity the fragrance and cherish the jade for her situation, and those who are happy to fall into the well and applaud their hands, and they are in the limelight for a while.
At this moment, in the hall of the Jiang Mansion, people inside and outside knelt on the ground, and it was Jiang Quan and Jiang Ruan who were kneeling at the moment. The father-in-law in the palace dragged his long voice and said sharply: "Fengtian carries the emperor's system, and now there is the queen mother's decree, and I hereby select Prince Jinying, give you shoulders, reward your eyes, and the daughter of the military department Shangshu Jiang, dignified and virtuous, filial piety and benevolence, virtue with auxiliary Junde, Zuo Li Yuan. Written as the princess of Jinying, Jin Yu Liangyuan, admire thisββ"
After finishing speaking, the father-in-law squinted at the person kneeling on the ground and said, "Lord Hong'an, take the order." β
Jiang Ruan paused slightly, and then stepped forward to take the holy decree with a smile, Bai Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a heavy bag, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law has worked hard." β
"The county lord is gracious." The father-in-law checked the bag in his hand, smiled with satisfaction, and his tone was very kind: "This time the golden and jade relationship, our family also came to touch the joy of the county lord." He looked at Jiang Quan, whose face was a little stiff on the side, and raised his eyebrows, it had long been rumored that Jiang Shangshu was very harsh on his daughter, but now it seems that it is indeed true. Empress Dowager Yide has the heart to defend Jiang Ruan, and Jiang Ruan will be the heroine of the Jinying Mansion in the future, and she can also be said to be a figure calling for wind and rain in this Great Jin Dynasty. If the father-in-law had the intention to please, he also took the opportunity to beat Jiang Quan, and said with a sharp voice: "Why, this is a good thing, why is Master Jiang not very happy to see it." β
Jiang Quan was taken aback, and reluctantly smiled: "I'm happy that I don't know what to say." The little girl's qualifications are blunt, and the Jinying Mansion is really high, and it is her blessing to be blessed by the Queen Mother. β
My father-in-law smiled and said, "Master Jiang said it well, isn't it the Queen Mother who is blessed now." The Queen Mother said that in the future, she will enter the Jinying Palace, as long as Prince Xiao treats the county lord badly, the Queen Mother will also stand out for the county lord. The queen mother treats the county lord as her own granddaughter, and if anyone dares to bully the county lord, she must give him some color. β
What he said made Jiang Quan's face blue and purple for a while, which clearly meant that he could hear it, and the beating in the words really made people feel sullen in their hearts. But the eunuchs in this palace look inconspicuous, but they are the people around the emperor and the queen mother, and they can't be easily offended, so they have to buy them a face. Therefore, I had to swallow the stuffiness in my heart and laugh for a while. It was easy to send his father-in-law away, Jiang Quan looked at Jiang Ruan and sneered: "You are really capable!" β
"Father has won awards, this is all the blessing of the Queen Mother." Jiang Ruan lowered his head and smiled, Jiang Quan, who looked at it again and again, felt depressed for a while, and he just wanted to kick Jiang Ruan out of the door. Immediately he snorted again, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
After Jiang Quan left, Forsythia frowned and said, "Girl, this Yi will ......." "The unprepared for this decree is unprepared, but it is impossible to disobey it at the moment. Forsythia sighed in his heart, being in an official family, the marriage event was involuntarily, even if King Jinying looked good, his own girl did not reject him, but such a direct marriage was a bit disregard for Jiang Ruan's meaning, for example, at this moment, Jiang Ruan did not have a trace of joy on his face.
Bai Zhi also felt a little sad, and glanced at Jiang Ruan with some concern, Jiang Ruan shook his head: "Tidy it up, I'll go to King Jinying's Mansion later." β
Xiao Shao's movements were so fast, which she didn't expect, but even so, there were still some things to ask clearly.
β¦β¦
On the Eighth Prince's Mansion, Xuan Li suddenly swept all the things on the table to the ground, and with a crisp sound of "crackling", the delicate porcelain smashed on the ground, splashing white sharp shards and scratching the palms of the people standing on the side.
Xuan Li sat down on the chair all of a sudden, seemed to take a deep breath weakly, and then said slowly: "So that's the case, it turns out that he was the idea of beating the Queen Mother." β
Xiao Shao, who was rumored in the palace before, gave the emperor a marriage, which was Xiao Shao's will, and judging from various later deeds, the emperor did not approve of Jiang Ruan becoming Princess Jinying. Now that the Queen Mother's decree came so suddenly, Xuanli suddenly realized. Xiao Shao never thought of giving marriage through the emperor, and the person he was looking for had always been the Empress Dowager Yide. The rumors that came out before were just to blur everyone's vision. also made Xuan Li chaotic, and even agreed to Xuan Lang's clumsy strategy of forcing marriage, and after the death, Xuan Lang died, he lost a useful chess piece in the palace, and almost pulled himself out.
"Xiao Shao, this hall really underestimates him." Xuanli squinted Yan, although there was still a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, his eyes were hideous, and he gritted his teeth with a few words, as if he wanted to kill Xiao Shao. With an arrogant person like him, what he hates most is to be played with in applause, but now he is led by Xiao Shao's nose the whole time, how can he be willing?
The young man sitting under him also had an ugly face, and a finger on his left hand was suddenly missing, it was none other than the second young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Chao. Xuanli was furious, and he was so happy in his heart. Jiang Ruan's two brothers and sisters are thorns in his side, and now that the Queen Mother has made a decree, Jiang Ruan has landed on the big tree of Jinying Palace, and it will be even more difficult to deal with her in the future.
"Did you clean up what you were asked to do last time?" Xuan Li changed the conversation and asked Jiang Chao.
"If you go back to Your Highness," Jiang Chao hurriedly replied: "Everything is taken care of, and things in the palace are now put down, and there will be no more mistakes." β
"Xuan Lang has no brains, and he is to blame when he dies." Xuan Li casually looked at the broken porcelain pieces that were broken in front of him: "We have to change people in the palace." Although Xuan Lang looked incompetent in the palace, he was a good way to deliver news. Now that Xuan Lang is dead, it is difficult to install people in the palace, so he has to start from the people in the palace now.
"Your Highness wants to start with the prince? Now it seems that the subordinates feel that the thirteen princes are smart, and they may be able to use it. Jiang Chao said. What Xuan Pei did that day was seen by everyone, and they all said that this thirteen princes were not inconspicuous, but in fact he was a smart person. The slaves who used to serve the Thirteen Emperors were now respectful to him, and the emperor began to pay attention to him, and occasionally asked people to send him something.
But no matter how smart the thirteenth prince is, the low status of his biological mother dooms him to never be qualified to compete with Xuan Li for that position. Such a person is not threatening and intelligent, and it is perfect to use it as a pawn.
"Clever? It's not a good thing to be too smart. Xuan Li shook his head slowly: "I'm afraid that he is Xiao Shao's person." β
"You mean ......" Jiang Chao was stunned.
"How can a hairy boy who has not dried up have the ability to turn the tables, I am afraid that it is all the methods taught to him by Xiao Shao, and the prince wants to be like this. Xiao Shao didn't take action in person, I haven't figured it out yet. It's just Xuan Pei, I don't want to use him. "Declare the way. There is another reason why he didn't say it, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, seeing Xuan Pei always makes him feel uncomfortable. As if there was some strange emotion breeding in his heart, he was very reluctant to see Xuan Pei.
"I can't find the Thirteenth Prince, according to His Royal Highness's wishes, who should I find?" Jiang Chao asked tentatively.
"Didn't the new batch of show girls enter the palace?" Xuanli looked at his fingertips: "There are always people who want to climb up, you find an opportunity to pick a good pick among them." β
Jiang Chao was shocked, then lowered his head, and replied respectfully: "Yes." β
β¦β¦
After hearing the news that Jiang Ruan was given the marriage, there were obviously more than one people who were in a bad mood, and at this moment in the East Palace, Liu Min, who was standing in the garden pavilion, looked at the koi swimming in the pond with a gloomy expression, and his mind had already flown out of the clouds.
The Empress Dowager's decree, the emperor's grace is mighty, and a word dooms him to be impossible. Thinking that Jiang Ruan was going to be crowned as Xiao from now on, Liu Min's heart swelled with a sour emotion. He's a complete nerd, pretentious man who never knew what love was like for the first twenty years, and then it was too late to understand his thoughts. However, Jiang Ruan saw that he had a great relationship with Xiao Shao, and the two of them were so close, so she ...... It's fun, too.
Just as he was thinking about it, he was slapped on the shoulder, Liu Min turned around, and what he saw was the prince's smiling face: "Mrs. Liu, why are you so distracted?" β
Liu Min shook his head: "His Royal Highness the Prince." β
The prince sat down on the side without paying attention and glanced at him: "You are sad for the lord of Hong'an." β
Liu Min was taken aback, a woman's reputation cannot be violated at will, and she was about to deny it, so she heard the prince say: "You don't have to deny it, Mrs. Liu, this is discussed by Shi Ce, this palace is not as good as you, but this relationship between men and women, you are not as good as this palace." He looked at Liu Min with one hand and said curiously: "Actually, this palace thinks it's very strange, this Hong'an County Lord, to put it bluntly, is just good-looking, why are you all following the devil." Xiao Shao's iceman is forgotten, Taifu, people like you who don't understand the amorous will be sad for him, which is really an eye-opener for this palace. β
Liu Min moved his lips, but he didn't know how to refute the prince's words. The prince's words are not wrong in the end, but now he is depressed, and he has no heart to talk to the prince here. He wanted to say something, but he endured it in the end, and only said to the prince: "No matter what, a few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke up for the Lord of Hong'an County, and Weichen thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his help." β
"Forget it, this palace is not just for you." The prince waved his hand, although Liu Min had also asked to think of a way for Jiang Ruan in front of him before, but the prince has never been a nosy person, and he is even happy to watch the excitement, if it weren't for the appearance of Xuan Pei later, he wouldn't have traveled to this troubled water.
Xuan Pei told him that day that he wanted to take revenge on the fourth prince Xuan Lang who betrayed him, and the prince was already very angry with Xuan Lang's yang and yin violations, and he was always worried that he couldn't find a good opportunity to make him evil. As soon as he heard Xuan Lang's words, he was a little moved, and Xuan Lang turned around and said some of the benefits that the prince could get after this matter, but he successfully aroused the prince's playfulness, and he hit it off with Xuan Pei at the moment and performed such a good show.
The crown prince is still a little strange, how Xuan Pei, a quiet prince in the palace, can come up with so many ideas. That Laoshizi Jinling Holy Hand Xia Qing is not something that everyone can invite, but Xuan Pei just said that as long as there is any medical skill in the palace, Xia Qing will agree to enter the palace. After that, as expected, the prince couldn't understand how Xuan Pei was like a god, but now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid it's all Xiao Shao's credit. Xuan Pei is just a child in the end, and it is still a little early to play tricks with the city government at this age, so thoroughly, I think it was Xiao Shao who ordered him to act.
Although Liu Min thanked him, in fact, the prince did not help because of Liu Min. Now looking at Liu Min's uncertain appearance, the prince has a little sympathy in his heart, although Liu Min is very strict and annoying on weekdays, in the end he is just a rectal master, seeing that he is so depressed for a woman, and he has also had a master-apprentice friendship, the prince patted Liu Min on the shoulder: "Taifu, you don't have to be too sad." There are thousands of women in the world, why take that scoop of drink, it won't be long before she is his wife, Taifu is familiar with etiquette, it is better to find a few lovely people for you in this palace, although it is not as beautiful as the lord of Hong'an, it will not disappoint. β
Liu Min's body stiffened, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good intention, but Weichen doesn't have this intention. Weichen still has some things, so he will retire. With that, he bowed and left.
The prince spit out the tea residue in his mouth and said, "Boring." β
β¦β¦
Besides, Jinying Palace, different from the gloomy clouds in other places, is almost joyfully preparing for the New Year, since the death of the old Jinying King and his wife, Jinying Wangfu is cold and deserted all the year round, and it is rare to have a happy scene up and down the whole house. Today, the Empress Dowager Yide came to the order, and the whole house rushed to tell each other, that is, the Jinyi guards distributed in various places of the Great Jin Dynasty received the flying pigeon message, and they also began to gather money to buy a wedding gift for their master and young lady.
Steward Lin happily wiped the diorama with a cloth and put it on his face, and pulled Jin Si and said, "Do you say that this wedding card is made into a bronzing print or is it better to embroider the words with silk?" After thinking about it, he shook his head: "It's better to make sandalwood sticks, and you can stick beads on it, last time I brought back a batch of glass beads from Persia, and they are glued and shiny, and they look particularly rich and festive, so it's better to do this." β
Jin Si rolled his eyes: "Lao Lin, do you need to make a wedding card so exquisitely?" If the old lady still sees you such a loser, she will definitely regret how she made you a housekeeper in the first place. β
"What do you little girl know," Steward Lin hated others for questioning his ability the most, so he straightened his chest and said proudly: "This wedding post, if you don't do it well, you will lose the face of the palace." What our master is doing, it is a big matter of marrying a wife and marrying a wife. At the beginning, how many people said that our master would never be able to marry a wife in his life, and we just wanted to slap those people in the face. It is to make this family affair beautiful and decent. Besides, do you think that the silver of this wedding card is a loser, Xiaosi, Lao Lin, let me tell you, the dowry that the young master decided to give, that is called a loser! β
When Jin Si heard this, her eyes lit up, and before she could speak, she heard the swishing on the tree for a while, and Jin San flew down in a leap, looked at Steward Lin and asked with great interest: "How much is the dowry?" β
"Guess?" Steward Lin didn't say anything for a long time, and made these two people have enough appetites.
"Seven-seven-forty-nine?" Jinsi guessed. Jin Si's temperament resembles a man, and he is not very clear about these dowries, so he casually said a number.
"Phew, what about Forty-Nine Lift and Raise Hanako?" Jin San shook his head and said: "This woman, the more dowry gifts are always more beautiful, I guess it's ninety-nine eighty-one." "Although Jin San is more like a woman than Jin Si, in the end, what he does on weekdays is Jin Yiwei, and these things that ordinary daughters know are still a little less hot.
Steward Lin glanced at the two of them with hatred: "I didn't expect that in your eyes, my Jinying Palace's Mansion is so shabby, what nine nine eighty-one." It's a full one hundred and sixty-eight! β
"One hundred and sixty-eight?" Jin Sanjin and Jin shouted in unison. Jin San frowned: "How much is that?" β
"Let me tell you clearly, what about the one hundred and sixty-eight dowry, and I can buy all the family property of the three Shangshu Mansions." Steward Lin said: "But it's just a dowry, I take care of the young master's temperament, and when the young lady enters the door in the future, the entire Jinying Palace's mansion is hers." Hey, the master is too big to stay, and he only cares about his daughter-in-law and ignores us subordinates. Speaking of the most reluctant, Steward Lin's tone was already sad.
The dowry of the three Shangshu mansions is really not rich, and the three brocades and the four of them glanced at each other, and they all saw surprise in each other's eyes. Jin San swallowed his saliva and said: "With so many dowries, the master didn't expect to give them all to Shangshu Mansion, and it was cheaper than Shangshu Mansion?" β
Steward Lin shook his head: "Stupid, how can so many dowry gifts be sent to Shangshu Mansion, of course, all of them will be handed over to the young lady for safekeeping." There is no need to worry about this, the young master is ready. β
"Young master, masters." Jinsan blinked: "If I were a woman, I would also be willing to marry him." β
"Aren't you a woman?" Steward Lin said disdainfully: "But the young master doesn't look down on you, and you don't look as good-looking as the young lady." β
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
This Lin steward was still arguing with Jin San and Jin Si, but he didn't know that Jiang Ruan had already stepped into the Jinying Mansion from the gate. The subordinates of the Jinying Mansion didn't even inform Steward Lin, and they all welcomed the future young master with extraordinary enthusiasm, and the introduction of the introduction of the guide to the road, all the way to see the subordinates treat her with a respectful appearance, and each saluted and shouted "Young Lady" louder than anything else, causing Dew to cover her mouth and snicker.
The person to be notified took Jiang Ruan to Xiao Shao's study, and the subordinates consciously retreated, and Luzhu and Tianzhu also covered the door intimately, leaving the time alone for the two people who received the marriage decree.
"Xiao Shao, what do you want to do?" Jiang Ruan asked. Xiao Shao's action was so fast that she was caught off guard, and now she was caught off guard and tied to the boat of Jinying Palace.
Xiao Shao turned around, and today he didn't wear the black clothes he was used to wearing, but instead wore a dark red white python robe embroidered with a bijia ingot. It looks a little milder than tomorrow, more and more beautiful, a pair of starry eyes are shining, and you will drown in it if you look at it a few more times. He looked at Jiang Ruan deeply and said, "Are you unhappy? β
"Now everyone in the capital is saying that your good cabbage has been arched by me, do you think I can be happy?" It was the first time Jiang Ruan had such obvious emotions for him.
A smile flashed in Xiao Shao's eyes: "Well, I'll let you arch." β
With such a gentle attitude, people simply don't know what to say. Jiang Ruan glared at him for a while: "Are you very proud now?" β
"I'm very happy." Xiao Shao approached her and whispered. He was already tall, and when he came so close, Jiang Ruan Kankan only said to his chest, and from a distance, it looked like he was going to hold her in his arms. There was a doting and gentleness in his tone that he hadn't even noticed, and his voice was inexplicably magnetic: "Princess." β
Jiang Ruan took a step back and kept his distance from him. What does this person want to do with beautiful men regardless of time and place, being born well is to take advantage, I have to say that this trick is indeed very effective. Xiao Shao smiled so shallowly, his tone was a little inexplicably bewitching, and he was as graceful as jade when he arrived, which was different from the cold and elegant before.
"What is it about being in such a hurry to give marriage?" Jiang Ruan frowned: "You're leaving?" β
Xiao Shao lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Yes, I will set off in ten days, and you must be settled before this, so as not to cause extraneous branches." β
What is decided, this is a little inexplicable, but at the moment, Jiang Ruan can't care about this, so he said: "Ten days later? β
"Time is pressing, many people in the court are eyeing you, the Queen Mother ordered, when I leave, you will stay in the Jinying Palace. After returning to the court, the class teacher got married. Xiao Shao said in a deep voice: "The Jinying Mansion can keep you safe, and getting married is an expedient measure." Don't worry, I'll always help you. After getting married, I won't force you. Speaking of this, Xiao Shao's handsome face was slightly red, but his expression was as calm as ever.
Jiang Ruan was already much more calm than him, so he looked at him and said, "Okay." With Xiao Shao's arrogant temperament, she is not a national beauty, but Xiao Shao is not strong. Jiang Ruan Shi was very relieved at this point, and after thinking about this, he felt that the relationship with Xiao Shao was not so awkward, and it would be good if he regarded it as a friend or boss who could help.
She hung her head and pondered silently, Xiao Shao glanced at her thoughtfully, pursed her lips, and suddenly said: "But when you enter the Jinying Palace, you are my Xiao Shao's woman, if you make trouble, don't pay attention to it, just hit it." After a pause, he said: "Liu Min and Xuan Pei, as well as Gu Yi, you don't have to pay attention to it." β
Jiang Ruan was stunned, a little speechless, and seemed to feel a little hot on his face. In his heart, he only secretly said that Xiao Shao, a seemingly indifferent person, always has a way to make the relationship between the two extremely embarrassing.
------Off topic------
There are no negative reviews for the finale of Jinyu Liangyuan! The party of the round party cried and fainted in the toilet, looking at today's chapter, which fully expressed my resentment against the good fate of abstinence.
