Chapter 359: Retreat
Duchess Ning Guo said to Jinxiu: "I didn't explain the reason to your mother just now, because I can't tell if Mrs. Liu can come today--this painting also needs to be retreated, and this is the first time I've heard that Mrs. Liu has to paint a set of twelve paintings before she can go out of the room!" Now that she is here, I will speak clearly to your mother, so that your mother will not have to think too much. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
It's really not solemn enough to come over like this without posting first, or talking about marriage, but Duchess Ning Guo has already explained, and the two families know that it is a formality, so that's fine.
Jinxiu said to the Duchess of Ningguo that she was tired, so she went over and walked with the Tian family, and the two talked as they walked in each ear, and Jinxiu and the young grandmother of the Xu family followed behind and went to the Hanging Flower Gate to greet the guests.
The girls waited in the hall for the time being.
Mrs. Liu is really as described by Duchess Ning Guo, she is an extremely elegant character, her hair is not messy, her clothes are neat, her clothes are elegant, but her face is not greased and powdered, but Jinxiu feels that no makeup can show her beauty more, compared with Mrs. Liu San, who has exquisite makeup next to her lips and eyebrows, Mrs. Liu seems to be a few years younger.
Maybe she is not good at words, except for the greetings and greetings between each other when they met, the rest was chartered by Mrs. Liu San, she just smiled, nodded at most, and remained silent. When she went into the inner courtyard and saw a few girls, Mrs. Liu didn't change much, and she didn't even care which girl was about to be engaged to her son, but Mrs. Liu San, Fei, pulled Jinyun to take a few more glances when she gave the girls a meeting gift.
The guests behaved normally, and Jinxiu felt that it was good, and everyone was worry-free.
With the Duchess of Ningguo here, things are much simpler and smoother, after a lunch, and then put on the tea table, the two families will talk about seventy-seven, eighty-eight, because it is to recognize the relatives first and then make up the gift, and it has to be done quickly, no matter what auspicious day is not auspicious, said that tomorrow the Liu family will go to the other courtyard, and the two sides will exchange Geng posts, and the number of gifts that should be done will be done at one time.
Rushing to do the right is just for perfunctory purposes, and this is the most hasty engagement ceremony.
After the matter was discussed, the two ladies of the Liu family and Grandma Liu said goodbye first, and the Duchess of Ning Guo then took her daughter-in-law daughter and granddaughter to say goodbye.
Seeing the mother-in-law carrying the gifts prepared for the guests, Miss Xu San and Sister Bing became happy again, and made an appointment with a few girls to meet in the future, so they waved goodbye happily.
In addition to Dongtian preserved fruits and some delicious pastries, Jinxiu also sent "homemade rouge gouache" to the girls, and Nan'an County Wangfu, Ningguo Mansion, Jia Mansion, Liu Mansion and their own mother's family each sent a basket of fresh and fat blue crabs.
The blue crab was brought back from the Red Maple Villa that day, after careful selection, one by one is the size of a tea bowl, the splendid draw the cave Tianling Spring raised, today let the cook clean up together, sent two baskets to the Chengguo Mansion to make a look, as they go, and then in their own big kitchen to open a big pot to cook, and made fried crabs and drunk crabs, the male and female guests are very satisfied with the meal, full of praise.
With such delicious game, it is naturally not enough to eat it once, but the quantity is limited, and it is impossible to give it to every family, so it has to be distributed to the female dependents.
In the blink of an eye, in October, the weather became colder, and after the full moon ceremony of the daughter born to the crown princess of the East Palace, the wedding day of King Xian followed.
Jinxiu didn't go to King Xian's Mansion to congratulate him, although she thought that King Xian would not be idle and bored and play tricks at his own wedding, but Luo Zhen said that even if there was no danger, he didn't want to watch Jinxiu step into King Xian's Mansion, so the couple didn't go to the wedding banquet, but just asked the housekeeper to send a congratulatory gift to King Xian's Mansion.
married the concubine of King Xian, and after half a month, the side concubine entered the door, and within a month, three beauties were also carried into King Xian's mansion one after another.
That's right, of the four beauties selected, only three of them entered the Xianwang Mansion as scheduled, and Luo Shu was unfortunately eliminated before getting married.
On August 15, he broke his leg while watching the lantern in the palace, and the Xianwang Mansion sent the imperial doctor to carefully diagnose and treat Luo Shu, and the Jin family did not hesitate to spend a lot of gold and silver to visit the famous doctor, using the best and most expensive medicinal materials, Luo Shu recovered very well, but when he got out of bed and walked, he was one foot high and one foot low, and he became a cripple!
How noble the royal family is in the world, countless beauties are at your disposal, even if they are concubines, it is impossible to have a lame one!
Luo Shu's dream of marrying King Xian was shattered like this, and Jin fainted to the ground when he saw Luo Shu walking, and it took a long time to wake up, but his legs were weak and he couldn't stand up, and he was very sad and lingered on the sickbed!
Fortunately, King Xian was merciful and knew how to be sympathetic and merciful, so he sent a female official to send two old ginseng branches, and persuaded him with good words: Please ask Mrs. Shizi to recuperate with peace of mind, although she can't be a family, but Mrs. Shizi is loyal and commendable, and she will take care of her mother and son in the future, and the future of the Luo Duan brothers is not a problem!
Jin was moved to tears: his daughter was not sent to King Xian's mansion, but she has already shown her loyalty and offered so much property, King Xian will definitely not forget his mother and son!
What the Jin family did, as well as Luo Duan, Luo Fang, and Luo Rong under her influence, and the close contact with the Xianwang Mansion in the open and secret, naturally failed to hide from Luo Zhen's eyes, Luo Zhen was silent, to collect enough evidence, and hand it over to Cheng Guogong and Luo Song, Cheng Guogong was furious, and Luo Song was also secretly frightened: If the prince is impeached by the imperial history, once it is verified, it is the crime of raiding the family and destroying the door!
People are princes and princes, and they are deeply favored by the emperor, if the emperor has the heart to protect them, and he has to deal with the ministers, then there will be only the sacrifice of irrelevant parties!
Although the Chengguo Mansion has made great contributions to the Dasheng Dynasty, it is all in the past, in this peaceful and prosperous era, honor and disgrace are only in the emperor's words, and the consequences of the three sons committing crimes at the same time are definitely enough to destroy the Chengguo Mansion!
Cheng Guo Gong did not hesitate at all, and immediately pressed Luo Song to make arrangements in person, and then entered the palace to ask for grace, within a month, the three grandchildren of Cheng Guo Mansion, Luo Duanwai was transferred to the southernmost Yuezhou Mansion to serve, Luo Fang took his newlywed wife to a guard post by the East China Sea to prevent pirates, and Luo Rong was thrown to the West Defense Army Camp for training!
The news reached Jin's ears, like a thunderbolt from the sky, she was stunned, this time she did not faint, but hurriedly went to the front yard to find the grandfather of the country and Luo Song theory, but before she walked out of the inner courtyard, she was intercepted by the tall and fat Min Pozi and those rough and fierce mothers-in-law, saying that it was on the order of the Shizi Lord, temporarily grounding the Shizi Lady who had heart mania, and after a while, the Buddhist hall in the side courtyard was built, so I invited the Shizi to move in and meditate in peace!
