"If King Heng's character and family background, why don't fools marry?" After thinking about it, Ling'er felt that marrying into the royal family, that day was not so beautiful, and this matter still had to be considered in the long run.

When Ji Ran returned to the house, he anxiously begged his mother to tell his father about his good deeds, and he couldn't wait to marry Rui Wang Fang.

The Liu family only thought that Ji Qian had already agreed to this matter, so he rushed to the study and told Ji Qian in detail about the trip to the lake that day, and finally waited for him to nod and make an appointment with King Rui, so that he could come to the door as soon as possible.

How did you know that Ji Qian listened for a long time, but he was silent, and said in a deep voice: "Madam, go back." ”

The Liu family didn't dare to ask more, and when he returned to the room, Ji Ran couldn't help but complain. This matter torments the mother and daughter every day, and it is like a year.

I don't want to get up this morning, the servant came to report, and the Rui Wangfu handed over a post asking to see Mrs. The Liu family was overjoyed, except for Ran'er's marriage, there was nothing else, and they hurriedly invited people in.

It turned out that after King Rui returned to the house, he thought about it again and again, so he went to the center of the palace to ask his mother, Queen Yan, to ask for a decree in front of the emperor and give Ji Ran, the daughter of the prime minister, and him as a concubine. Emperor Xuanwen thought that he would withdraw from the second miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion not long ago, and now he intends to marry the eldest lady as a concubine. Helplessly, Queen Yan begged in every possible way, so she made an order to give marriage. But what kind of person is Emperor Xuanwen, seeing that King Derui is in the sky, and now he is married to Miss Xiangfu, he can't help but think about King Heng.

Ignore Emperor Xuanwen's thoughts.

Now the person from the Ruiwang Mansion only informed the Prime Minister's Mansion so that she could be ready to receive the order.

The Liu family and that Ji Ran are really very happy, the emperor gave the marriage, and can marry the person he likes, what a glory and gratification, it is to celebrate with the mansion.

Ji Qian also praised this future son-in-law, and he assisted King Rui a lot in the open.

However, a few days later, the holy decree came down, and it was the red man Li Gonggong who came to issue the decree in front of the emperor now, and Gonggong Li smiled at Ji Qian, and obviously said with a compliment on his face: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister!" Ji Qian hurriedly returned the salute and thanked him. Then Gonggong Li preached: "The emperor's edict said: I hereby hear that Ji Ran, the daughter of Ji Qian, the prime minister of the auxiliary country, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding character, and the queen and I are very happy to hear it. The eldest son of the emperor is more than 20 years old, and when he is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman to match. In order to become a beautiful woman, you will be married to the third son of the emperor as the princess. All etiquette will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed on a good day. Ji Ran received the order to thank him, and gave a lot of silver to Gonggong Li, and even the rough mother-in-law in the house also rewarded each person, which was festive and peaceful, but no one asked about the master and servant of the Lingxi Courtyard.

I don't want the Ministry of Rites and the Qin Tianjian to choose November 15 as the wedding day after a joint discussion, so that there is less than two months left to prepare for the wedding dowry. The top and bottom of the Prime Minister's Mansion are busy for Ji Ran's marriage.

King Rui was also quite satisfied with this marriage, one married the prime minister, and won the treasure in the future with more chances of winning; The second has seen Ji Ran since that day, and there is no dissatisfaction. Everything is prepared according to the gift of the concubine, and only the dowry is full of sixty lifts, around the city, so it is not beautiful, and it is a good story for a while.

And the Liu family is also thinking about Ji Ran's marriage, she is in charge of the prime minister's house, and every application is in her hands, and she will not lose her daughter on the money. But Liu Shi thought: Narui Wangfu is not an ordinary mansion, where can the general gold, silver and satin get into the eye, and it is necessary to find some rare things to not lose the dignity of the Xiangfu. This reminds me of the dowry of the former wife, the Bai family. The Bai family was originally the only daughter of the old man Bai, and the old man regarded it as a pearl in his palm, and when he first got married, not only the one hundred and eight dowry was staggering, but the objects in the cage were countless rare treasures. People often mention a few pieces such as the South China Sea Night Pearl, colorful coral screens, purple jade basins, etc., if you can take out a few pieces to make a dowry for Ran Er, it will be excellent.

But although the Bai family has passed away, her daughter is still there, I don't know what Xiangye thinks, except for part of the dowry placed in the Lingxi Courtyard, the rest are sealed, and the key is also placed in Ling'er.

The Liu family understands that if you want to get the Bai family's dowry, you must have Ling'er's consent, otherwise Ji Qian will not allow it.

On this day, Ling'er got up early and had already moved around the courtyard, and was about to sneak out of the house after lunch to have fun. Liu knocked on the door with the maid green beads and came in, and said with a pleasant face: "My daughter is fine today, I haven't seen you go to my mother's place for a long time, and I came to visit me today." ”

Ling'er was flattered, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and bring people into the hall. At this time, Qingxi served the tea, and the two drank tea silently. Ling'er was puzzled in her heart, and she didn't speak, and looked at what the situation of the Liu family was today.

Liu Shi picked up the tea, took a slight sip, then put down the cup, took Ling'er's hand and looked left and right: "It's as dignified and beautiful as your mother, but it's a pity that your mother went early and couldn't see you like this." After speaking, he took out a handkerchief and wiped away his tears.

Ling'er had never seen the Bai family, but there were some faint shadows in her memory, but it was far from being able to say that she was sad and cried because of her thoughts. She didn't speak, she just said nothing in a sad way.

Liu Shi only touched Ling'er's sadness and comforted: "Daughter don't have to be sad, I will treat you as you are in the future, your sister will get married soon, and your mother should devote more time to you." ”

Ling'er hummed in her heart, "What is this singing?" ”

Na Liu paused and said: "You and Ran Er are like mother's daughters, and you should support each other when you get married in the future." Ran'er is older than you, she is a straight person, and you don't have to worry about some ridiculous things she did in the past, after all, she is going to marry into her sister, and you don't have to add makeup to her as a sister, but the family goes. ”

Liu's long words made Ling'er sneer in his heart, it turned out that he wanted to get benefits from himself! How could Ling'er not know that the things in the wing of the Lingxi Courtyard were her mother's dowry, she only opened it a little and looked at it, and she was already shocked, not to mention that this was only a small part, and the other part of the key was hanging around her neck. However, Ling'er is still full of gratitude to her indifferent father, although he ignores himself, but he is fair to his mother's dowry, and all of it is in his own hands, even the Liu family will never dare to act rashly.

Ling'er smiled obediently: "What Madam said is very true, it is a family that will have to help each other in the future, Ling'er understands in her heart." Since my sister is going to marry into Ruiwang's Mansion, the dowry naturally can't be shabby, and Ling'er will add makeup to her sister. What he said on his lips was beautiful, but in his heart he scolded Liu's mother and daughter a hundred times, "Bad my reputation, robbing my fiancé, and even having the face to ask me for things, it's really thick as a wall." ”

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, the Liu family did not expect that Ling'er was such a well-behaved person, and he was very satisfied. instructed Lingxi to serve her young lady well, and didn't bother Ling'er to send her out.

As soon as the man left, Qingxi couldn't help but complain and said, "Miss is really going to add makeup to the eldest lady?" They didn't hurt us enough! ”

Ling'er smiled: "Everyone is coming to the door, don't we don't know how to lift if we don't go?" ”

After thinking for a moment, he said, "You take some silver and take care of it, if the lord arrives in Mrs. De's room in the morning these days, he will come to report to me quickly." ”

Qingxi obeyed the order and went out to find the cleaning guy and handed over the silver, which was a trivial matter, and the little guy was happy to comply.

In the past few days, Ling'er has stopped going out, only staying in the Lingxi Courtyard every day to practice, making something delicious, chatting with Qingxi, and seeing Qingxi as a female celebrity, with a pure heart and few desires.

The autumn of Dazhou is very long, and although it is late autumn, it is still warm and cold, and it is very comfortable. After eating breakfast, Ling'er was thinking about whether to plant some flowers or plants in the yard, and it was boring to be idle anyway. At this time, Qingxi, who went out to inquire about the news, hurriedly walked in: "Miss, the master went directly to Madame's place for dinner in the morning, and he hasn't come out yet." ”

Ling'er said: "Take the box carved with rosewood, and let's go add makeup to the eldest lady." ”

The master and servant accompanied each other, and they arrived in front of the Deliu family's room all the way, and after the maid reported, Ling'er went in to see her, which was the first time she had been in contact with Ji Qian so closely. I saw that this Ji Qian was dignified and gentle, but he had the demeanor of the prime minister of a country.

Ji Qian hadn't seen Ling'er for a long time, and when he saw it at first glance today, as if the Bai family was in front of him, pity arose spontaneously in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Ling'er doesn't need to be polite. ”

Ling'er got up and sat down at the bottom, and said slowly: "The day before yesterday, Mrs. Ling'er visited and mentioned that my sister would marry to Ruiwang's Mansion in the near future, I wanted to take some valuables from my mother's dowry to add makeup to my sister, and I thought that my father and Mrs. Su Ri respected my mother, but I was afraid that the second elder would blame Ling'er for being unfilial, and my sisters didn't have to see outside, so I bought this jade bracelet with my monthly money, and I hope my sister will not be disgusted." ”

Ji Qian suddenly felt that Ling'er knew the general situation, and he had the legacy of the Bai family's ladies, and said softly: "It's good to have this heart, and you have to take care of your body yourself." ”

The Liu family was only so angry at this time, but Ling'er said it thoughtfully, neither took out the Bai family's dowry nor hurt her face, and blocked the way for herself to ask for the Bai family's dowry to add makeup to Ji Ran in the future. Although his face was pale, he still said softly: "Mother has thanked Ran'er here." Although Ling'er has never called her mother, she can't use it strongly, and now Ling'er is not as strong as she was at the beginning.

After Ling'er's affairs were done, she said to Ji Qian: "Father gets up early to go to court hard, and his daughter won't bother." After speaking, Qingxi retreated.

Out of the main room, the master and servant both exhaled deeply, and the scene just now was really depressing. Qingxi smiled: "In the future, they will never think about the idea of beating the lady's dowry." ”

Ling'er was not so optimistic, and secretly thought that it would be better to find a safe place to place these things as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to find peace.

The two of them walked and chatted into the Deling Rhino Courtyard, and a few people were waiting in the courtyard. Ling'er took a closer look, it was Ji Ran and a few maids and servants, and said in her heart, "I didn't dare to come last time." ”

Thinking in his heart, he didn't move on his face, but said: "My sister just went to add makeup to my sister, I didn't see my sister, my sister came to my sister's place, Qingxi quickly invited the eldest lady to sit and serve tea." ”

Ji Ranxing's eyes widened, and she couldn't wait to step forward and tear Ling'er apart before she was willing, pointing at Ling'er and scolding: "You little slut, my mother asked you to take a few rare things to add makeup to me because I could afford you, but if you don't give it, you just made a fuss in front of your father, seeing that you look pitiful, but your heart is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion." ”

This Ji Ran has always been handled by the Liu family, and he is used to being pampered, but he is already unscrupulous in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he has always been unable to keep things in his heart, so he will publicize them. Just now Ling'er went to add makeup to her, and the maid had already told her in detail, so Ling'er went to Lingxi Courtyard to ask about the crime.

Ling'er saw Ji Ran's angry appearance, and smiled secretly in her heart, "If you want people and things, you want to be justified, it's really strange that there are many things every year, especially this year." Chao Na Ji Ran said: "My sister really misunderstood my sister, my sister went to add makeup to my sister today and didn't know that my father was at Mrs. 's, and I didn't dare to touch my mother's dowry today because my father had always meant it." If my sister doesn't believe it, let's ask my father, if he agrees, my sister will take as much as she wants, and my sister will never complain, you and I are sisters, and we should care for each other. ”

Yixi's words are also reasonable, but he actually used Ji Qian as a shield, making Ji Ran so angry that he was helpless, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say a word. After standing for a while, he threw up his sleeves and left, and the maids and servants followed.

Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to enter the house to rest, when she suddenly heard a hearty laugh: "Second Miss is so eloquent!" ”

Ling'er came back to his senses and saw a blue and a white two people coming out of nowhere, Mu Chenfeng shook the folding fan while shaking his head and praised. Ning Yiheng looked at Ling'er with a slight smile, saw Ling'er retract his gaze in a panic, and scolded: "You two appear in my Lingxi Courtyard in the blue sky and daylight, if there are good people who spread the word, I can't tell how eloquent I am." Qingxi had already brought the tea, and the three of them sat down to taste the tea.

"I haven't seen the second miss for a few days, I don't know if the second miss is good, so I came over with the prince to take a look." Mu Chenfeng said with concern.

Ling'er's heart warmed, there are not many people who care about her in this life, and her good impression of the two of them can't help but increase a little.
