Chapter 59: Candidates
Regarding Feng Mingwu, Feng Zhige also knew so much, as for what kind of good life Feng Mingwu could live in the Marquis Mansion of Runing after Feng Mingwu, she didn't bother to inquire, and she didn't want to know at all.
But even if she didn't ask, Feng Zhige could guess that Feng Mingwu might not be able to live a good life, after all, she now has no title of the county lord she is proud of, and she was placed by Zhao Tiannan as a concubine of the Marquis of Runing, and she fell out with her own brother.
It's just a concubine's room, and there is no one behind her, with Feng Mingwu's brain that doesn't pretend to be anything and her uncomfortable temperament if she doesn't do it for a day, it's strange that she can live well.
But Feng Zhige didn't have time to pay attention to these, no matter how good or bad the life was, this was Feng Mingwu's own choice, just like what she said to Feng Mingwu at that time, the path she chose had to be completed even if she knelt.
It's just that I don't know if Feng Mingwu will have that kind of perseverance.
In the entire Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, except for Feng Mingxiang, who was still a little sad when he thought of this sister, the others didn't take this matter to heart.
During this time, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion has been filled with a joyful atmosphere, and even Mu Qingwan has been busy from morning to night.
This qiΔ, just because of the song of the phoenix, is almost over.
Feng Zhige's birthday is on the fifth day of the sixth month, and it is only a month away from now.
It is a very important day for a woman, and after that, it means that she has grown up and can get married.
It is precisely because of the importance of the curtain to women that the ritual is particularly important.
Mu Qingwan had never done a ceremony before, so although she has been busy with this these days, she has always been a little apprehensive, afraid that she would make an improper arrangement and make others laugh at the time.
Mu Qingwan is not afraid that others will laugh at herself. Instead, I am afraid that something will go wrong in Feng Zhige's and etiquette, which will affect Feng Zhige's reputation at that time, and Feng Zhige's pro-family will be hindered in the future.
After all, it is not without the fact that the daughter of the family and the ceremony went wrong, and the marriage was unfavorable.
Mu Qingwan has always treated Feng Zhige as an eyeball, and naturally she is reluctant to let her daughter be affected because of her negligence.
She was already busy with Feng Zhige's ceremony every day, and she was full of worries in her heart. It's only been a few days. The whole person has lost a lot of weight, if it weren't for Feng Zhige's early persuasion after finding out, I was afraid that he would be so busy. Mu Qingwan's body had already collapsed.
In fact, Feng Zhige didn't pay much attention to his courtesy.
The importance of Ji Lu to women has no meaning to her, after all, she has never thought about who she will marry in her life, so she naturally will not look at Ji Lu in her eyes.
If it weren't for Mu Qingwan's insistence, she would have to do it for her. According to Feng Zhige's meaning, it would be good to just invite relatives and friends who were close to him to have a meal.
Reads();, of course. Feng Zhige's hasty idea was unanimously refuted by Mu Qingwan and Feng Mingxiang, so in the following month, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was preparing for this matter.
It's just that when posting out. Mu Qingwan was embarrassed.
When the nobles in Beijing perform the ceremony, they will invite relatives and friends to come to watch the ceremony, but the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion has been far away from the capital for the past 20 years. How many relatives and friends did the old Wei Yuanhou have in the past, and he did not run it for 20 years. I'm afraid that the relationship is also estranged.
Mu Qingwan herself is not good at interacting with people, and now she finds out that even if she is full, except for Mrs. Liang, the handkerchief in the boudoir back then, only Mu Qingwan's mother's family is among her invitations.
But whose daughter will only invite such a few people to watch the ceremony, if there are really only so many people at Feng Zhige's ceremony, I am afraid that there will be gossip unfavorable to Feng Zhige the next day.
Mu Qingwan is really sad.
She wanted to organize the most beautiful and solemn ceremony for her daughter, but it was only at this time that she found out that she didn't even have anyone to invite.
Mu Qingwan really hated herself for not being good at words at this time, if she usually had a good relationship with those ladies in Beijing, how could she face such a dilemma at this time?
In addition, Mu Qingwan also made a mistake because of the selection of the person who praised the guests.
The praiser is easy to say, usually the friend or sister of the person who invites the person, and Mu Qingwan thinks that Mu Xiaoxiao is an excellent candidate.
There are Si Mu Qingwan and Xiang are looking for them among the sisters-in-law of their mother's family, and I believe that several sisters-in-law will also be very happy.
Ke Zhengbin......
The guests of honor at the ceremony are generally to invite virtuous and talented female elders to serve, but Mu Qingwan doesn't know such elders at all, if you have to say that you know, there is such a person, that is, Mrs. Han who met and invited her to the birthday banquet in Huangjue Temple before.
However, Mu Qingwan never thought of inviting Mrs. Han to be the guest of honor at the Fengzhi Song Ceremony.
It's not that Mrs. Han is not qualified, on the contrary, Mrs. Han is too qualified.
In this capital, if you want to choose a lady with the most ability and integrity, I am afraid that ten out of ten people will choose Mrs. Han.
This is not an exaggeration, even if the status of the Han family is discarded, only with Mrs. Han's own virtue, she can afford this.
The selection of women and guests at the ceremony is the most important, and if you can invite an elder with a distinguished status as a guest of honor, the reputation of the person will be much better.
It is precisely because of this that over the years, there has been no noble lady in the capital who wants to invite Mrs. Han to be the guest of honor at her daughter's ceremony, so as to add some luster to her daughter's face, but Mrs. Han has never accepted any family's invitation.
This is also the most important reason why Mu Qingwan did not dare to open his mouth to invite.
Besides, Mu Qingwan thinks that she and Mrs. Han just have a two-sided relationship because of fate, and if she wants to climb up the pole with such a relationship, she really doesn't have such a thick skin.
Seeing that the day was about to enter June, the candidate for the guest had not yet been finalized, and Mu Qingwan was so worried that he couldn't sleep well for several days.
Mu Qingwan naturally wouldn't tell Feng Zhige why she was worried, but Mama Lin looked anxious on the side, but she took the initiative to go to Feng Zhige and tell Mu Qingwan's thoughts one by one.
Mama Lin was originally transferred to Mu Qingwan's side from Feng Zhige's courtyard, and she had already beaten her when Feng Zhige put her next to Mu Qingwan, and she must focus on Mu Qingwan in the future.
In addition, Mu Qingwan is indeed kind. Over the years, Mama Lin has really regarded Mu Qingwan as her master, seeing that the master is so worried about the candidate for the guest, Mama Lin is naturally anxious, but she can't think of any good way, so she has to tell Feng Zhige about the matter.
In Mama Lin's eyes, Feng Zhige has never been a little girl who has not yet reached the end of her life, even compared with Mu Qingwan. On the contrary, Feng Zhige is more like an adult.
Feng Zhige listened to Mama Lin's advice. For a while, I couldn't laugh or cry.
She really didn't take Ji Lu seriously, but she didn't sweep away Mu Qingwan's interest before, and she was happy to see her. didn't stop her, she didn't expect that she had already persuaded Mu Qingwan once before, but this time for the sake of Zhengbin's candidate, she was worried again.
Think of it this way. She asked Mama Lin: "I don't know if Mama knows, but what candidate does my mother have in her heart?" β
Mama Lin followed Mu Qingwan all day long. I don't know what Mu Qingwan is thinking, although Mu Qingwan feels that it is unlikely that she can invite Mrs. Donghan, but the reason why Mama Lin told SΓΉ Feng Zhige about this matter is not that she has the idea of looking for her to get an idea. Naturally, he would not suppress Mu Qingwan's thoughts.
So, Mama Lin said truthfully: "Back to the eldest girl, I want to say the candidate." Mrs. Tai has one there, and it is Mrs. Han. But Mrs. Han has never been the guest of honor at any lady's ceremony over the years, so even if Mrs. Han has this idea in her heart, she doesn't dare to post to the Han family. β
Feng Zhige didn't expect that Mu Qinghui would want to invite Mrs. Han to be the guest of honor for himself and the ceremony, and he was a little surprised for a while, but thinking about Mrs. Han's reputation for both ability and political integrity, it can be understood.
As a mother, she naturally wants the best for her children, and Mu Qingwan's love for her daughter is naturally the same.
But......
Feng Zhige's mind turned.
Last time she was in the Han family, she had already discussed with her father and brother, not only to be the daughter of the Han family, but also to return to the Han family in the most upright way, but she didn't think of any good ideas for a while, so the matter was put on hold.
If you want to talk about it, isn't her courtesy a good opportunity?
It's just that in the blink of an eye, Feng Zhige has already grasped the aura in his mind and came up with a good way.
She still has to discuss this matter with her father and brother......
After sending Mama Lin away, Feng Zhige did not immediately go to Mu Qingwan to comfort her, but after thinking about it carefully, she first went to Han's house to write a letter, and when she got a reply from Old Man Han, she went to Mu Qingwan with a smile.
Mu Qingwan has been in charge of Feng Zhige's etiquette these days, and he is a candidate who is worried about Zhengbin, so naturally he didn't get a good rest, and he looks a lot haggard than before.
However, when she saw Feng Zhige, there was still a joy on her face.
"Stop singing, you're here." Letting go of the busy things in his hands, and sending back all the people who served around him, Mu Qingwan took Feng Zhige's hand and asked for warmth.
These days, he has been busy preparing the ceremony of Feng Zhige, and Mu Qingwan is so busy that he has lost his shape, and even the habit of eating together that he has maintained over the years has changed.
Counting, Mu Qingwan hadn't seen her daughter for two days, and when she saw Feng Zhige coming to her, she blamed herself a little for being busy and neglecting her daughter's reads();.
Feng Zhige couldn't see what Mu Qingwan was thinking, but she didn't persuade her, but asked directly: "Mother, I heard Mama Lin say, you have been worried about the selection of guests for my ceremony in the past two days?" β
Mu Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and then said with some complaints: "This Mama Lin is too, such a trivial matter is worth running to sue you." β
Having said that, Mu Qingwan didn't really complain about Mama Lin, after all, she also knew that Mama Lin did this because she hadn't rested well in the past few days.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingwan sighed lightly, but she didn't hide it from Feng Zhige, and said: "My mother is indeed a little worried about the candidate for Zhengbin, our Hou Mansion and my mother's family can't find a suitable candidate for Zhengbin, if you find someone at random, I'm afraid that someone will laugh at you then." β
Feng Zhige gently patted Mu Qingwan's hand to show comfort, and then suddenly asked, "Does my mother want to invite Mrs. Han to be the guest of honor for her daughter and ceremony?" β
Mu Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "This Mama Lin, I really want to tell you everything, my mother really wants to invite Mrs. Han to be the guest, after all, Mrs. Han is highly respected in the capital, if you can invite her old man." The ladies and ladies in the capital don't envy their mother's songs. β
Speaking of this, Mu Qingwan sighed lightly again, shook her head slightly, and said: "But my mother is just thinking about it, although we and Mrs. Han are also acquainted, but over the years, although many ladies have invited Mrs. Han to be their daughter and the guest of honor at the ceremony, Mrs. Han has never agreed, and my mother is embarrassed to rashly invite her by taking advantage of the edge of the Huangjue Temple." If that's the case, it's not just for the strong. Some don't know how to be grateful. β
Therefore, even if Mu Qingwan was sad in her heart, she didn't want to test Mrs. Han's tone.
Feng Zhige smiled slightly at this time, and said to Mu Qingwan: "Mother." In this case, you might as well post to Han's house, maybe, Mrs. Han will be willing this time? β
Mu Qingwan glanced at Feng Zhige suspiciously when he heard this.
She knows her daughter best. If she wasn't sure, she would never say such a thing.
But. Mu Qingwan couldn't figure out when Feng Zhige had a relationship with Mrs. Han, and she was so sure that Mrs. Han would definitely agree.
You know, if Mrs. Han could be asked to move so easily. I won't have failed to accept an invitation from any of them for so many years.
Although he was puzzled, Mu Qingwan knew that Feng Zhige would not be untargeted, and after Feng Zhige left, he sent an invitation to Han's house with some trepidation.
Mu Qingwan thought. Whether Mrs. Han agreed or declined her request, it was impossible for her to respond so quickly. Anyway, it would take a few days to hear back, but I didn't expect her to send an invitation to Han's house in the morning, and the Han's family sent a grandmother to Weiyuan's mansion.
The grandmother sent by the Han family is surnamed Wu, and she was married by Mrs. Han's mother's family.
Mama Wu has been by Mrs. Han's side for so many years, but she has never seen a young lady that Mrs. Han attaches so much importance to, so she is also a little curious about Feng Zhige in her heart.
Looking at the undisguised surprise on Mu Qingwan's face, Mama Wu said her intention and Mrs. Han's meaning, thinking of Mrs. Han's instructions before coming, and said: "Mrs. Tai, it is rare for my wife to take such a fancy to the younger generation of the eldest girl of your mansion over the years, and naturally I also hope that the eldest girl of your mansion can be more beautiful, considering the situation of your mansion, Madame means that Mrs. Tai may wish to send out more invitations this time, so that the ladies in Beijing will know that there is a woman in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, In the future, there will naturally be a lot more choices for the eldest girl's family affairsreads();γ β
Mrs. Han's meaning is undoubtedly to take the initiative to lend her name and let Mu Qingwan invite more prestigious ladies to watch the ceremony.
In fact, Mama Wu didn't understand why her master was unusually this time, not only did she accept the guest of honor at the ceremony of the eldest girl of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, but also offered to let the Mrs. of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion invite guests under her own name and make a face for the eldest girl of the Feng family.
Mama Wu knew that Mrs. Han had never admired a young lady from any family, and this time she would do this for the eldest girl of the Feng family, even Mama Wu was very surprised.
After a full count, the master has also seen the eldest girl of the Feng family at the Huangjue Temple and the birthday banquet, but the relationship between the two sides, how can he appreciate this eldest girl of the Feng family so much?
Mama Wu was puzzled.
However, the incomprehension does not prevent Mama Wu from bringing Mrs. Han's meaning.
Mu Qingwan didn't understand it before, but after listening to Mama Wu's words and understanding what Mrs. Han meant, she was a little overjoyed for a while.
She has been worried about it for two years, but she didn't think about it, but it was solved by Mrs. Han once.
There were very few relatives and friends in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and Mu Qingwan was worried that not many people would come to watch the ceremony, which would make Feng Zhige's ceremony look shabby.
It's not that Mu Qingwan can't pull her face to invite those noble ladies, it's just that even if she sends invitations to those ladies, she is afraid that she won't come if she can't make friends.
But now Mrs. Han not only agreed to be the guest of honor at the ceremony, but also took the initiative to signal her to spread the matter, and when those ladies learned about it, even if it was just for Mrs. Han's face, I was afraid that Feng Zhige and the ladies who came to watch the ceremony would definitely not be missing.
Mu Qingwan didn't know how to thank Mrs. Han.
In the past, I only heard that Mrs. Han was a highly respected elder among the ladies in the capital, but now that I look at it again, Mrs. Han is still an enthusiastic elder.
Otherwise, how could she not only help her in the Huangjue Temple, but now she is so elevated to Fengzhi Song.
Mu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, not only thanked Mama Wu for this trip, but also asked Mama Wu to convey her gratitude to Mrs. Han, and the words revealed some meaning that Mrs. Han was a warm-hearted person.
She didn't know that even Mama Wu was wondering why Mrs. Han was so enthusiastic this time.
Sent away Mama Wu, Mu Qingwan really didn't have to worry about anything anymore this time, and in the next day, in addition to continuing to prepare for Feng Zhige's ceremony, he was to send invitations to the ladies of the families.
With the words given by Mrs. Han, although Mu Qingwan felt a little embarrassed to use Mrs. Han's name to make a long face for her daughter, the most important thing in her life was her daughter, and she still sent a lot of invitations out.
Just as Mu Qingwan thought, many of the ladies who originally received the invitation did not plan to go to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion to watch the ceremony.
Although the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion has just returned to Beijing, there are a lot of troubles, and there are wives and concubines fighting, and the head of the family goes to Huangjue Temple to practice, and there is Feng Mingwu who is willing to be a concubine as the lord of the county, and until now there are still people in the capital who talk about the gossip about the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion in their spare time.
But any lady who prides herself on being a higher lady will probably not agree to go to Fengzhige's ceremony to watch the ceremony. (To be continued.) )
