Chapter 708: Listening to Anecdotes in Beijing (1)
Although Ruoyun's marriage seems to be relatively tight, there is only half a year left, but many years ago, Mrs. Anyang Hou and Mama Liu had already begun to prepare a dowry for her, and the Han family, who returned home last year, took a lot of thought as an aunt, so Ruoyun's dowry had already been prepared, and there was no need to worry too much.
As for Yu Miaoling's dowry, she brought some silver from the north as a dowry, but later the Sun family had an accident, and Yu Miaoling gave the old lady 20,000 taels of silver to fill the hole in order to please the old lady, so her family was not much.
The old man remembered that she was married from the Bai family, and no matter how much she said it, she couldn't weaken the face of the Bai family, so he waved his hand and returned the original 20,000 taels to her, and then gave another 10,000 taels to let the Han family prepare for her to marry.
30,000 taels of silver plus some of Miaoling's original private rooms, as a side concubine, it was decent enough, but people are afraid of comparison, her idea of dowry is very different from Ruoyun's dowry that occupies a large courtyard of the Dingguo Mansion.
However, no one can say anything, after all, the identities are different, Ruoyun is the princess of the princess, married to King An as a concubine, and Yu Miaoling is just a righteous daughter, and she is also a side concubine, and the Dingguo Mansion gave her 30,000 taels to marry outside, and everyone will boast that the Dingguo Mansion is kind and generous! ——
Ruoyun hasn't gone out much since she was given marriage, after all, she has a marriage contract, and she is a woman who has been married for less than half a year. You should prepare for marriage at home, and you can't just show your head casually.
Yu Miaoling is sometimes taken to live in the eldest princess's house for a period of time, because the eldest princess is old and needs her "lucky star" to be present to shake a little.
Speaking of the eldest princess, I have to mention the virtuous concubine and the mother and son of the five princes, who also received too many young age medicines.
At that time, after the bottle of medicine was taken away by the emperor, Ruoyun told Chu Ziheng about the disadvantages of the poppy, but this thing could not be found out in a while, and the poppy could not be detected even if it was tested for poison, so I just don't know if the emperor will believe it.
However, seeing that the emperor gave Yu Miaoling a marriage to King Ping, he was obviously skeptical of this matter. Otherwise, he would have put such a woman next to his son.
Fortunately, the emperor has a lot of trust in Ruoyun's medicine. Replaced the medicine in the medicine bottle with the medicine that Ruoyun gave him, and gave it to the five princes.
The fifth prince has been in good condition recently, and Concubine Xian is very happy, and she also rewarded Yu Miaoling once. She didn't know that the medicine had already been replaced by Ruoyun's medicine. She should also thank Ruoyun.
But Ruoyun doesn't care about this false name. I just hope to get something useful from Yu Miaoling.
Although you can't go out, it doesn't mean that the information is blocked, on the contrary, it is because Ruoyun can't go out. Everyone was afraid that she would be bored at home, so they all came to the house to accompany her every once in a while.
Jiang Yurong took Yang'er, Su Ning, Du Jingyuan, Chunye, and Qiuye to come to the house from time to time to talk to her.
Donglan likes these people the most, because they can talk about some new things outside when they come, which is fun to listen to.
For example, about Xia Fangtong of the Xia family, the emperor gave her a marriage to Chu Dingfei, the youngest son of King Huai, Chu Dingfei has been admiring Xia Fangtong for a long time, after all, this Xia Fangtong's talent and beauty can still fool some people.
This time he was married by his imperial uncle, Chu Dingfei was happy, only to feel as if a big pie had smashed on his head, and the whole person flew up happily.
King Huai and his wife also love their youngest son the most, seeing that their son is so happy, on the third day of the marriage, they packed all kinds of gifts, and King Huai personally took Chu Ding to fly to Xia's house to give gifts.
King Huai felt that since the family affairs had been decided, their personal visit to the door was also a kind of expression of importance, and in the future, the in-laws and family would be harmonious, and the son and daughter-in-law would also be happy.
Huaiwang's family is right, and it is a very thoughtful table of etiquette, and Xia Huafeng, the prince of the town, also came forward in person and received Huaiwang and his party with a smile on his face.
Things look quite beautiful here, King Huai and Zhenguo Gong are drinking tea in the front hall, complimenting each other and making harmony.
And Chu Dingfei, who was taken by Xia Xingguang, the prince of Zhenguo, to visit his mother-in-law in the inner courtyard was not so comfortable.
After all, the Xia family's goal for Xia Fangtong's marriage was to be concubines for the two young and promising princes at the beginning, but in the end, not only did the princess not get it, but also gave the marriage to Chu Dingfei, who did not have a title, and the Duchess of Zhenguo Shao was not so satisfied with Chu Dingfei.
However, she is an adult in the end, and she knows that since the emperor's decree has been issued and the matter is a foregone conclusion, her daughter will definitely marry into the Huaiwang Mansion in the future, so she is still kind to this future son-in-law on the surface.
Chu Dingfei was happy in his heart and didn't notice the little affection of his future mother-in-law, but when he asked Xia Fangtong to come out to meet, the other party said that he was not feeling well and did not come out at all.
Chu Dingfei was full of thought that he could say a few sweet words to his daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door, but he did not show up, and he couldn't help but feel very disappointed.
Later, when Chu Dingfei was walking around the garden, he thought that it would be better to meet Xia Er, but who knew that he received a note from a girl.
When Chu Dingfei received the note, he was full of suspicion, thinking that it was Miss Xia Er who was flirting with him, so he hurriedly found a place where no one was there to open it.
Who knew that there were only a few words on it, which read: If you are interested, you should ask the emperor to take back the will!
Seeing these words, Chu Dingfei was like being struck by lightning, and the original joy disappeared all of a sudden, and he suddenly returned to the front hall with a pale face.
King Huai saw that his son's face was not good, so he also took his leave.
When she returned home, the bad princess saw that her son, who had been going out with great interest, had become like a frosted eggplant and listless when he came back, so she hurriedly asked what was going on.
At first, Chu Dingfei was reluctant to say it, but then he couldn't bear the questioning of his parents, so he still took out the note.
When King Huai and Princess Huai saw this note, they were immediately furious. Fly into a rage!
"The beauty that the Xia family wants, they want to quit their relatives, but they don't want to take responsibility, it's all the benefits of their family inside and out, do you think that my Huai Wangfu is a vegetarian!" King Huai slapped the table and shouted.
"Then the prince, what can you do here!" Princess Huai asked.
"If you want us to risk resisting the decree to withdraw from the marriage, the beauty that his Xia family thinks, let's ignore it, just drag it out like this, and see who can drag whom. It's a big deal to marry that woman back as an ornament in the end. If you give Fei'er a few more concubines, you can still spread the branches, but it's really not okay to talk about a flat wife! King Huai said angrily.
"What the prince said is that his Xia family is now in an eventful season, and our house is willing to be close to them. It's also for Fei'er's sake to be interested in this Xia Er girl. Now they don't know how to lift up. Give them some color in general and see! Princess Huai said.
Princess Huai is also a vigorous and resolute person, and the next day she put a beautiful girl in her son's room that she had already trained.
This girl was originally trained by her son for her. However, in order to show respect for the main house, the general family will not release people in their son's room before the main house enters the door, but since the Xia family is so ignorant of lifting, Princess Huai does not care about these.
Not only did he release the people who served his son, but Princess Huai also sent a message to the outside world to give her younger son a good concubine.
The so-called good concubine is the daughter of a good family, not bought and sold, but also to have a concubine's letter of appointment to marry into the door, this kind of concubine is not low in the family, and the housewife cannot be beaten and scolded at will, let alone bought and sold.
Xia Huafeng, who was in the Xia family, heard about the actions of the Huaiwang family, and was confused at first, I don't know why Huaiwang was fine that day, why he suddenly turned his face and slapped the Xia family's face so hard.
Shaw Brothers was still scared, and told Xia Huafeng the truth, about their neglect of Chu Dingfei that day, and Xia Fangtong's letting people pass notes.
Shao Shi felt that if she withdrew from the Huaiwang family, how could she find a better marriage for her daughter with her own ability, who knew that the bad Wang family not only did not withdraw from the family, but also accepted the concubine, she thought that if this marriage was completed, her daughter would be afraid of the life of the Huaiwang family.
Xia Huafeng listened to his wife's words, and he was also furious, now the Xia family does not have a sacred heart, and he was also cautious all day long in the previous dynasty, although his daughter pointed out to marry the Huaiwang family, he was not very satisfied in his heart.
But to change his thinking, this King Huai looks like a good man on the surface, but in fact, he has a lot of internal strength, and he has experienced two dynasties, his status is noble, and he can be regarded as a tumbler.
Who knows, the backyard will start a fire for him!
There was no way, Xia Huafeng hurriedly prepared a generous gift, and took his wife to Huaiwang's house to make amends, he didn't even dare to think about the divorce, the marriage set by the emperor, can he withdraw from the marriage casually!
When they arrived at King Huai's Mansion, King Huai and Princess Huai did not come forward to entertain them at all, they were all entertained by King Huai's prince and princess.
The two of them explained a lot to the prince and the princess, but in the end, the note was not handed over by Xia Fangtong, but was deliberately framed by a restless girl, and the girl had been killed by the Duchess of Zhenguo.
Also, Xia Fangtong was really unwell that day and didn't come out to see her, and she will definitely take her to meet Princess Huai and Princess Huai in person another day.
Although the rhetoric of the Xia couple seems reasonable, who in the mansion doesn't know the twists and turns inside, King Huai and Princess Huai don't believe it at all.
Therefore, after that, the Huaiwang Mansion still did not accept the Xia family's apology, and continued to choose a good concubine for Chu Dingfei.
In the end, Xia Fangtong had no choice but to come forward to solve the matter.
How, solved?
At that time, Xia Fangtong got the news of the marriage, and then saw that her old rivals Ruoyun and Liu Yanzi were better than her, so she lost her mind under jealousy and anger, so she did such a thing as making people send notes.
Later, after thinking about it clearly, she was also afraid, can the marriage given by the emperor be withdrawn casually?
This marriage is obviously impossible to withdraw, so her behavior is to anger the future in-laws, thinking that after she enters the door in the future, she will not be liked by her husband and in-laws, and there are uncontrolled concubines, so it will be difficult for her to live this day.
Xia Fangtong has never been the kind of person who lets herself fall into the quagmire, so she quietly asked Chu Ding to fly out.
Although Chu Dingfei was angry, but Xia Fangtong asked him, he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and he came out of nowhere.
Xia Fangtong didn't dare to give Chu Dingfei a face this time, and it was Pear Blossom who said that she was really unwell that day, or that someone framed her and made her not like her in-laws in the future.
Anyway, it is Chu Chu pitiful, pear blossoms with rain, and petty and gentle, Chu Dingfei has no interest in the letter, and after he goes back, he tells his family that he will not accept concubines, and it is useless for the family to persuade him, anyway, he will not accept good concubines.
Although King Huai and Princess Huai were angry in their hearts, their youngest son's ears were soft, so they believed Xia Fangtong.
However, after all, it was to see that his son liked it, and for the sake of his son, he stopped taking concubines, and discussed with the Xia family.
The matter of the Huai Wangfu and the Xia family, although it is a matter of the two families, but the relationship between Beijing and China is complicated, and good things do not go out and the bad market spreads thousands of miles, and the two families are covering it up, but there are still some rumors outside.
The affairs of the two families have also been passed on in the big families for a period of time, but it has become a pastime for Ruoyun and others after tea and dinner.
After the two things have been going on for a while, there are more new things in Beijing.
It turned out to be the future Princess Ping, and Jiang Yihui, the county lord of Huixin who was far away in Xichuan, entered Beijing to get married.
This Jiang Yihui was sent by her mother, second aunt, brother-in-law, and brother.
Anyway, in addition to Xichuan Hou and Xichuan Hou's younger brother, the two stayed in Xichuan to guard, and the rest of the Jiang family's descendants almost arrived, which shows that the Jiang family also attaches great importance to marriage.
Everyone has always been very curious about the Xichuan Marquis family, who has a heavy army, just because the Xichuan Marquis has always been loyal to the emperor and has little contact with the officials in the capital, so everyone wants to take this opportunity to test the details of the Xichuan Marquis.
And this county lord of Huixin has become the object of attention of women of all sizes in Beijing, and everyone wants to know what kind of woman can be worthy of an elegant and polite person like King Ping.
The Xichuan Hou family entered Beijing the first night, and the next day the family sent a post to the palace, waiting for the emperor and queen to summon them.
In the afternoon, the emperor summoned the prince of Xichuan Hou and the youngest son of Xichuan Hou, and the queen summoned the female dependents.
When they came out of the palace, everyone in Beijing sent posts one after another, wanting to get close to the Xichuan Hou family, but who knew that the posts were returned, and there was also a gift to make amends, obviously people didn't want to get too involved in the affairs of Beijing.
When everyone saw this, they all died down, anyway, they didn't see anyone, and they couldn't talk about offending anyone.
Just when everyone thought that the Xichuan Hou family would live a low-key life behind closed doors, a few days later, they saw a few horses coming out of the Xichuan Hou family, rushing to the outside of the city.
This immediately led by a woman in red dressed in a red suit, who was indeed as beautiful as a fairy, and wearing such clothes was even more heroic and not letting the women have eyebrows, she took a group of slaves in fresh clothes and angry horses to go outside the city to play for a day before returning.
Everyone inquired about who this girl was, after all, they heard that the brothers of the Xichuan Hou family had such a girl as the county lord of Huixin in the two rooms, and the county lord of Huixin was preparing to marry at this time, and he definitely couldn't go out, so he didn't know who this girl was!
Under this inquiry, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, isn't this the girl who should be the county lord of Huixin who should be ready to marry in the mansion with peace of mind! (To be continued......)
