Chapter 2 Remarriage has not yet been accomplished
In June, it was early summer, and it was a little hot and humid. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć However, today is breezy and the air is fresh and natural.
Wang Zhengjun sat in the courtyard of his house, calmly embroidering flowers, indifferently like a peony fairy in a hundred flowers, his face was elegant and tranquil, and his eyes were full of peace.
"Zhengjun, what are you embroidering here?" Wang Zhengjun's elder brother Wang Feng rushed into the courtyard and pulled the embroidery in Wang Zhengjun's hand and put it on the side of the stone table, his face full of joy.
"Big brother is so happy today, but for what new thing?" Wang Zhengjun said lightly.
"You, don't ask yet, hurry up and dress up, and go out with your eldest brother! Good things are coming for our family! Wang Feng said excitedly.
"What's the good thing?" As soon as Wang Zhengjun finished speaking, he was pushed into the boudoir by his eldest brother Wang Feng, "You, don't ask anything now, don't say anything, hurry up and dress up beautifully!" ā
Seeing the eldest brother like this, Wang Zhengjun can guess eight or nine points without asking. It must have been her father who helped her find someone, but now, I'm afraid it's the other party who has asked someone to come and see.
"Okay, Zhengjun will dress up carefully!" After Wang Zhengjun finished speaking, Wang Feng left satisfied.
Half an hour later, Wang Zhengjun came out of the inner hall. I saw her wearing a light blue ink print curved skirt, her combed hair and temples were delicate like clouds, and a jade jade with green inlaid flowers was inserted on the sideburns, and the sideburns were lined with beads, which was very beautiful and lovely. Her clear and clear eyes were as bright as stars, and there was a faint brilliance in her eyes. Between a smile and a smile, although there is a slight bewitchment, there is no charm, which makes people have to marvel at her gorgeous and vulgar appearance.
"I have heard that the daughter of the Tingwei historian is dignified and beautiful, and she is a must in the commission. Now it seems that it is indeed more than that! When the visitor saw Wang Zhengjun, he was full of sighs and praises, and between his looks and words, he knew that he was quite satisfied with Wang Zhengjun.
"My lord praised it falsely, I don't know if the little girl can meet His Highness's wishes?" Wang Ban smiled.
Your Highness? That's the emperor's son, but who will it be? Wang Zhengjun thought to himself in his heart, but his face was silent.
"Tingwei Shi, you are too worried! His Royal Highness the King of Dongping had already heard that Ling Qianjin was talented and intelligent, and her appearance was beautiful, so she asked me to handle this matter earlier, but now it's just an old slave who is ordered to do things! The visitor was smiling.
"Thank you, then, sir!" Wang Ban was also full of smiles.
"Okay, I won't delay here, I'll go back and tell His Royal Highness King Dongping." The comer said that he wanted to leave.
King Dongping? It turned out to be the arrogant and unscrupulous vassal king. Wang Zhengjun's heart trembled slightly, but he didn't say much in front of the comer, and only waited for the comer to leave before he talked to his father.
"Is the person whose father wants his daughter to marry really the king of Dongping?" Wang Zhengjun asked anxiously, already unhappy in his heart.
"That's right!" Wang Ban smiled, "In order to let you marry a good family, I have worked hard for my father!" ā
"Father, daughter doesn't want to!" Wang Zhengjun's words were hard, "The king of Dongping already has a wife, and his daughter can only be a concubine when she marries." What's more, the king of Dongping often associates with treacherous people, he is unfilial and unrighteous, arrogant and unreasonable. If you want your daughter to marry such a person, wouldn't you push your daughter into the fire pit? ā
"Shut up! As the Father is wholeheartedly devoted to you, how can you say such foolish words? King Dongping is the prince of His Majesty today, and now he is a vassal king with a fief, how can our royal family afford to offend? What's more, now that the marriage has been decided, it is impossible for me to quit as a father! Today, if the Father did not hear it, he would have to mention it again in the future. With that, Wang Ban left angrily.
"Father!" Wang Zhengjun chased out and shouted, but it was useless.
The news that Wang Zhengjun was going to marry King Dongping as a concubine spread in the commission after a while.
Zhi Ran was not in a very good mood during this time when she saw Wang Zhengjun. I came to Wang's house early this morning, and I insisted on pulling Wang Zhengjun out to visit the market, but Wang Zhengjun couldn't resist Zhiran's many words, so he had to respond.
Wang Zhengjun and Zhiran shuttled unhurriedly through the bustling street market, because their appearance was above ordinary women, and now it was when Wang Zhengjun wanted to marry the king of Dongping.
"Sister, is this bracelet pretty?" Zhiran took Wang Zhengjun's hand and ran to a small stall. Holding an orange-red cloud pattern beaded bracelet, his face full of excitement.
"Beautiful!" Wang Zhengjun replied casually, but he didn't look at the bracelet.
"Does that sister like it?" Zhiran asked again.
"I like it!" Wang Zhengjun's voice was flat, without a trace of anger.
Seeing this, Zhi Ran put down the bracelet, took Wang Zhengjun's hand and continued to walk forward, "I thought that letting my sister come to the market would make my sister feel better, but now I am more and more unhappy when I look at my sister!" ā
"I'm not unhappy, it's just that I got up in the morning and got cold, and now I just feel unwell and don't want to speak." Wang Zhengjun barely squeezed out a shallow smile, but it was still as light as a breeze and lifeless.
"Sister, don't hide it anymore." Zhi Ran's face was calm, "I know my sister's thoughts, my sister doesn't want to marry into the Dongping Mansion as a concubine, but she takes into account her loyalty, filial piety and benevolence, and can't bear to disobey your father's wishes." Now, my sister can only be sad by herself. ā
Zhiran is not bad at all. Although Wang Zhengjun is extremely reluctant to marry into the Dongping Palace, he also knows that the King of Dongping is neither a good lord nor a petty official. Now hearing Zhiran say this, Wang Zhengjun is silent.
"Sister, can't we women choose our own husbands? Wouldn't it be nice to find someone you like, be happy, and live an ordinary life? Why did you want to give up your happiness in order to obey your parents? Zhiran said seriously, although she spoke softly, others could hear it clearly.
When Wang Zhengjun heard this, he hurriedly said, "Zhiran, this kind of thing is not allowed to be said nonsense, let people hear it, wouldn't it make others see the joke?" ā
"Sister, what I said is from my heart, why can't I say it?" Zhi Ran looked puzzled, and somehow her little mouth pouted again.
Wang Zhengjun hurriedly covered Zhiran's mouth with his hand, intending to persuade her not to say any more, "Marriage has always paid attention to 'the life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker'. How can we women make our own decisions? Don't say that again! ā
"Sister, I can't talk about you, and I don't read as many books as my sister. But Zhiran still has to choose her own husband, and I can't control other things! Zhiran said, smiling mischievously.
"You, you're really a little girl who hasn't grown up!" Wang Zhengjun had to smile helplessly.
"My sister is only two years old when Zhiran is older, is it possible that she is a girl who has grown up?" Zhi Ran said, smiling and prying away a few green threads scattered on Wang Zhengjun's right forehead with her hand, "My sister is so young and beautiful, she has always been a girl who doesn't grow up in Zhi Ran's heart!" ā
"But you're talking nonsense!" Wang Zhengjun laughed and was embarrassed at the same time.
At this time, the market is more lively, passers-by are discussing something in a low voice, and looking at their expressions, it seems that the situation is very serious.
"You know what? I heard that the king of Dongping died yesterday! ā
"What, the king of Dongping? So what's going on? ā
"I heard that the conspiracy failed, and I committed suicide!"
"It seems that His Majesty gave him death!"
ā¦ā¦
The sound of chattering and discussion was like a swarm of bees coming densely, filling their ears with a lot of noise.
Although Wang Zhengjun did not hear it very clearly, he also knew what they were talking about. The expression on his face was very complicated, half depressed and sad, half puzzled.
"Sister, I'll ask again, don't mess up first!" After Zhi Ran finished speaking, he walked towards the group of people.
When he came back, he already had a complicated expression, "Sister, it seems to be the king of Dongping!" Now, everyone knows that it is true! ā
After Zhi Ran finished speaking, Wang Zhengjun trembled slightly, and he almost couldn't stand steadily. Wang Zhengjun doesn't have to marry into the palace, which is exactly what she wants. However, two or three times, her husband died before she passed through the door, and things were too strange.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Zhi Ran looked at Wang Zhengjun suspiciously, "I thought my sister would be very happy to hear this news." But now, my sister looks sad! ā
Wang Zhengjun didn't answer directly, but said lightly: "Zhiran, let's go back, it's not too early!" ā
Seeing this, Zhiran didn't want to ask anything more, so she had to give up.
As soon as Wang Zhengjun stepped into the courtyard, he heard a boiling noise from the back hall in the distance.
When she walked into the hall, she saw that there was already a mess everywhere. Several aunts pulled over there for a few expensive dowry gifts sent by King Dongping two days ago, and they didn't have the slightest dignified attitude.
"What are you all doing here?" Wang Zhengjun asked, although he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, but in order to show respect for several elders, he didn't show much emotion.
"Masako, you're back. You don't know about King Dongping yet, do you? Wang Zhengjun's second mother ran over and grabbed Wang Zhengjun, and her words were gentle and peaceful.
"I already know!" Wang Zhengjun replied very calmly.
"Then since you know all about the ruler, let's just say it!" Wang Zhengjun's Sanniang twisted her waist and walked over with a kitsch and mean face, "You married the king of Dongping this time, but you still died before you passed the doorman." Outsiders say that you were born with a hard life, and you have the appearance of Kefu, and now I am afraid that no one dares to marry you! Wouldn't it be unfortunate to keep these things? However, it's a pity that you don't want these things, so the aunts will help you keep them! ā
"If you aunts like it, just take it, and the monarch will go back to the room first!" Wang Zhengjun's words were gentle, and there was no displeasure on his face, but his heart was extremely uncomfortable.
