Chapter 143: A Few Families Rejoice
With the promulgation of the holy decree drawn up by the Yuan Emperor and the Ministry of Rites, all places were busy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Some are busy not running, while others are naturally busy preparing to run.
Ordinary people don't expect the prince and concubine anymore, but the prince's side concubines, concubines, etc., still have a chance.
Among them, the most embarrassing and uncomfortable should be Liu Qin, the daughter of Ji'an.
She is also a talented woman who is famous in the capital, and she has won the first place in several boudoir gatherings, and her family background is not bad.
is talented, good-looking and has a family background, and she also thought about which prince to be the concubine. Now, the holy decree of choosing the princess has been issued, but her title has been decided, and she has become the side concubine of the third prince.
Moreover, when her father met Emperor Yuan earlier, he also proposed that she marry into the Three Princes' Mansion as soon as possible.
As a side concubine, it is naturally good to enter the house early, so that when there is no hostess in the Three Princes' Mansion, she is the side concubine in charge of the inner courtyard, and there is still a difference between being a side concubine and not being a side concubine.
However, the princess and concubine are going to be chosen, if the concubine is married early, she may enter the palace next year, and by then, she will have an unstable foundation in the Three Princes' Mansion, and her reputation will be a little worse.
For this, she cried with her mother several times in private, and Mrs. Ji'anbo was also distressed, and the mother and daughter blamed Ji'anbo.
"Alas...... Am I willing my daughter to suffer such a grievance? Don't I want Jean to be the main room? But ...... "Ji'anbo is also helpless, Ji'anbo Mansion is also a big family, but there is no interest, and there is inevitably a shortage of money." Nan Anhou's business on the southern border, he also participated in a share, and the third prince already knew about it.
If he didn't put it under the three princes, if this matter came out, Emperor Yuan would not think that the treasury had a lot of money. Ji'an's Mansion sounds like an earl's title, but except for the old ones in the army, they have no real power, and there is no one in the court who is in the same spirit, so it may become the second feudal family.
Therefore, when Lin Wenyu came to him with the news that Nan'an Hou Mansion had discovered Nanzhao's secret agent, he had no choice. Originally, he thought that if Chu Zhaoye valued his old days in the army, and the Yan family had already made up his mind to protect the prince, he might be able to let his daughter be his concubine, but this idea was extinguished.
Now, the Ji'anbo family only hopes that the three princes and concubines will be able to tolerate people, and the family background should be similar to their own, and it is best that the three princes can succeed.
There is also the one who expects Chu Zhaoye to succeed, of course, it is the Lin family, originally Yan Ning was in the way, and Lin Yirou resigned herself to wanting to be her cousin's side concubine. Now that Yan Ning can't marry her cousin, wouldn't she have a chance to be a concubine?
Liu Qin's wedding date was set for the year before, although Concubine Lin was grounded, Emperor Yuan had already said that the matter of the third prince and the concubine was decided by Empress Yan. Therefore, Concubine Lin's grounding did not affect anything.
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the day when Liu Qin passed the door.
In the end, it was the first daughter-in-law of the royal family, although she was a side concubine, Queen Yan still asked people to send a dowry gift into the house in advance, and on the day of the wedding, Liu Qin was allowed to marry in a pink wedding dress.
The dowry can only be simple, but the dowry of Ji'anbo Mansion is also a lot, full of twenty-four lifts, and it is also blowing and blowing all the way.
Yan Ning stood in the upstairs of a restaurant to send off relatives, listening to the sound of suona outside and crossing the street, and there were many lively people along the street. It's just that there is no groom to greet him, and there is no excitement sprinkled with happy money, and the sound of suona is always a little thin.
She really felt sorry for Liu Qin, originally, after she was reborn, Li Jinniang and Liu Qin were the first to befriend her. In the future, Liu Qin will be Chu Zhaoye's person.
Behind her, there were Hauni and Green, and there was a maid, but it was Lin Yirou's personal maid - Ruyi.
"Miss Yan, slave maid...... Slaves and maids can't come out for long. Ruyi said softly with some anxiety and some uneasiness.
Yan Ning raised her head and slowly looked at Ruyi, she was still the same as before, but now standing in front of her, she didn't have that kind of contempt.
"Ruyi, does your girl want to be the concubine of the third prince?"
"This ...... The slave doesn't know about this. ”
"Well, then you can go and inquire for me." Yan Ning said, picked up the tea, and took a sip slowly.
Ruyi's face turned pale.
She is the son of the Lin family. Her father became the shopkeeper of a shop in the Lin Mansion, and she became the personal maid of the concubine of the Lin Mansion.
The family is also considered to have a head and face in the house.
Unexpectedly, her father was so obsessed with gambling money that he lost his eyes red, and he actually took the money from the store out to flip through it. As a result, the more you lose, the more you lose.
What I didn't expect was that in the end, these IOUs and mortgage notes all fell into the hands of Yan Ning.
A few days ago, when her father returned to the house and begged her for help, she found out about these things.
stole the master's money, and owed tens of thousands of taels, if this matter was exposed, their family would be killed by her father. If her family is sold, her appearance may end up in an unbearable situation.
Therefore, she didn't dare to slack off, and today she took advantage of Lin Yirou to let her go out to see the excitement of Liu Qin's family send-off, and meet Yan Ning.
She also wants to be a loyal slave, and she has contempt for Yan Ning in her heart, so she naturally refuses to give in easily.
Yan Ning didn't say much, put down the tea bowl, looked at Ruyi's uneasiness that he couldn't hide, and said softly: "Ruyi, Lin Yirou is very good to you, no wonder you have to be a slave who is loyal to the master." I just don't know, if Lin Shangshu knew what your father did and wanted to dispose of your family, Lin Yirou would not protect you. At that time, if I ask the creditor to say that I don't want the money and use your family to pay off the debt, do you think Lin Shangshu will agree? ”
If his family falls into the hands of Yan Ning, it will definitely be worse than life and death.
Ruyi didn't dare to take any more risks, "Miss Yan, you also know that my girl won't say anything to the slave maid." It's just that after hearing that Miss Liu was a side concubine, she was very happy. Before Concubine Lin was grounded, she also deliberately let the old lady and Mrs. go into the palace to visit, and Concubine Lin also said that as long as Her Royal Highness agreed, she really wanted my girl to be her daughter-in-law. ”
"Well, okay. There's nothing to do today, and when something happens, I'll look for you again. ”
"Miss Yan, my father's debt ......"
"I'll keep these IOUs first, if I don't take them out, won't your father be fine?" Yan Ning was not in a hurry to do anything.
Ruyi bit her lip, she couldn't think about it, she didn't know what Yan Ning's intentions were when she knew the news, and she didn't know what Yan Ning would let herself do in the future.
"You're so clever, don't worry. Am I going to hurt your girl again? I'm just going to make her wish come true. Okay, let's go, if there's any news you think I'll be interested in, remember to send me a letter. Hauni, send Ruyi out. ”
"Yes." Hauni responded and said to Ruyi with a smile, "Sister Ruyi, I'll send you downstairs." It's a lot of people here, so you have to hurry up. ”
Ruyi had no choice but to salute and follow Hauni out of the room. (To be continued.) )
