No. 448 Makeup
It stands to reason that the courtiers' demands were not excessive.
No matter how the king of Yanbei is, he is also a vassal king, and the stability of Yanbei is related to the safety of the northern territory of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is natural for the courtiers to care about the heir of the king of Yanbei. But at this time, no one would think that it was a simple matter for the imperial court to pay so much attention to the selection of the prince of Yanbei Wangfu.
At this time, another rumor came out and caused an uproar in Yanbei.
An old lady who was originally from Yanbei Wangfu was talking nonsense when she was dying, and accidentally confided a big secret, that is, Xiao Jingxi, the second son of Yanbei Wangfu, was actually not the son of Yanbei Wang.
It is said that the princess was poisoned when she was pregnant with her first child, and although the child was born, she still had the toxin in her body, and she was not suitable for pregnancy at all in the next few years.
But the eldest son was sent to the capital as a hostage soon after, and the Yanbei palace at that time urgently needed a little son to calm people's hearts, so the princess hugged the child of her own sister who died in childbirth as her own child and raised it by her side, this child is Xiao Ergongzi.
However, Xiao Ergongzi is not the son of King Yanbei after all, so Yanbei Wangfu declared that Xiao Ergongzi is not in good health, in order to wait for the princess to adjust her body and give birth to the next son, the second son will be able to "die young" naturally, but it is a pity that although the princess became pregnant again after several years of recuperation, she gave birth to not a son but a daughter.
In order to successfully conceive her second child, the princess asked a midwife to give her a secret medicine. It is a medicine that is three parts poison, although this secret medicine made the princess conceive smoothly, but it also hurt her body, so the princess has never been able to conceive a child since giving birth to her daughter. Because of this, Xiao Ergongzi has existed until now.
Although there are some hidden things in every famous family, the great secrets of the Yanbei Palace, which were revealed this time, shocked the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. While some believe, others don't.
Those who believe think that it is no wonder that King Yanbei was reluctant to appoint the second son as the son after the death of his son. Originally, I thought that the second son was not in good health, but it turned out that the second son of Xiao was not surnamed Xiao at all.
Those who don't believe it think that this is a conspiracy made up by the imperial court, in order to disturb the hearts of the people of Yanbei Wangfu in order to achieve their ulterior purposes.
Regardless of whether the world believes it or not, the question of Xiao Ergongzi's life experience has become the most talked about topic among the people of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty after dinner. Everyone waited for the Yanbei Mansion to come forward to refute the rumors.
It's a pity that the Yanbei Royal Mansion didn't react to this rumor at all, as if it hadn't heard it, what should I do or what to do, the Yanbei Royal Mansion is busy with the marriage of Xiao Ergongzi, and it seems that he wants to prove the absurdity of this rumor with practical actions.
Ren Yaochi was shocked when he heard this. However, she didn't believe that Xiao Jingxi was not born to the princess. What kind of feelings the princess has for Xiao Jingxi Ren Yaochi can understand from her attitude towards herself, not to mention that Xiao Jingxi's appearance is somewhat similar to the princess, which is not something that Xiao Jingxi can say that is the son of the princess's sisters.
So although there was a lot of uproar outside, what Ren Yaochi cared about was what was the purpose behind the person who spread this rumor.
It's just that her wedding date is approaching, but this kind of thing happened, and Ren Shimin and Li are very worried. Ren Yaohua, Ren Shijia, and even Ren Shimao have all come to ask, worried that Ren Yaoqi's marriage will be affected by this matter.
At this time. Maternal grandmother Rong also sent a handwritten letter to Ren Yaoqi, the letter was very short, only four words: Don't be impatient.
Ren Yaochi thought about it and took Rong's letter to the Li family. After seeing Rong's letter, Li was finally relieved. Others can't believe it, but her own mother can always trust it, since the Rong family told them to be a little calm, it means that the rumors outside are not true, and Ren Yaoqi's marriage will not be affected because of this matter.
So Yanbei Wangfu and the Ren family are still calmly preparing for the wedding.
It didn't take long for Yung's letter to arrive. The king of the river sent a gift to Ren Yaoqi, and loaded a full nine carriages, which were printed with the coat of arms of the palace of the king of the river. When he drove all the way from the city gate to the front of Ren's house, he attracted the attention of everyone in Yunyang City. King Xian has been very low-key since he left Yanbei and became the king of Hezhong, and this is the first time that the Hezhong Wangfu has made a high-profile appearance in front of everyone.
When the same thing was carried down from the carriage and moved into the Ren Mansion, there was also a roll call by a person dressed as an attendant, and the scene was more solemn and formal than when the big families gave dowries, and the high-profile was much more eye-catching.
A double phoenix crown of green bamboo, two pairs of red gold eight treasure heads, two pairs of red gold inlaid jade heads, four pairs of inlaid treasure gold step shakes, four pairs of treasure chisels, two pairs of eight treasure gold and gold flower pendants, a pair of gold lace inlaid treasure bracelets, a pair of crested beaded bracelets, a pair of red gold eight treasure bracelets, twelve taels of pearls, twenty horses each of silk, silk, yarn and Luo, four pieces of Yanju clothes, a total of 24 sets of clothes for the four seasons, nine pairs of vermilion gold leather boxes, six beds of various colors, and four white silk bedding......
In addition, the Hezhong Royal Mansion also added some fertile fields and two annexes to Ren Yao's dowry, it is worth mentioning that one of the two courtyards is near the Sun Moon Hot Spring outside Yunyang City, and the other is in Jinzhou, the territory of the King of Hezhong, these two courtyards can be seen from the deed, both of which cover a very large area.
It is good to say that the king of Hezhong sent Ren Yao to the other courtyard in Yanbei, but sending it to the other courtyard near his territory will inevitably make people feel that he wants to support his granddaughter who is about to marry into the Yanbei Palace, as if he is telling the Yanbei Palace, Ren Yaoqi still has the maiden family of the Hezhong Palace.
This one thing is dazzling to count down, where is this routine for ordinary people to marry daughters? This is to marry a princess, right?
There are also people who think that even if the king goes to the river to be the king, the Hezhong palace must be a showcase, and they can only look at it, but they don't want to let people see the strength of the Yanbei palace as soon as the Hezhong palace is shot this time. This is just marrying a granddaughter, the Hezhong Wangfu is such a big deal, which shows that the Hezhong Wang's family background will definitely not be thin!
So the Hezhong Mansion added makeup to Ren Yaoqi this time, not only to express the importance of this granddaughter, but also to show his strength to the world in a high-profile and reserved way in a stunned way, and after this incident, no one dared to look down on the Hezhong Palace.
The Ren family was also very surprised when they saw the makeup gift of this carriage, and the Li family was particularly excited. No one else understands, only she understands, these are the dowries that her grandmother promised her when she was still young. It's a pity that when she got married, she was devastated in the palace, and her dowry was not cashed, but she didn't want to cash it out on her daughter now.
The Li family also understood from this that the grievances she had suffered over the years, her father and mother had seen them in their eyes and remembered them in their hearts, so wouldn't this be compensation for her?
Although the Ren family's house is quite spacious, but when all the things of the nine carriages were moved in, they still occupied the entire vestibule, and the Li family had to use the entire east chamber left after Ren Yaohua's marriage to put these makeup gifts, and those who couldn't put it were temporarily carried to the cross-courtyard that Ren Shimin used as a study, and the entire mansion was also the most spacious place for Master Ren. Master Ren, who has always regarded money as dung and listed his study as a forbidden place in his home, turned a blind eye this time and said nothing
The makeup of the Hezhong Palace's makeup to Ren Yaoqi was huge, shocking the entire Yanbei, and it seemed that the rest of the people's makeup was much shabby. However, compared with other married daughters, the makeup Li received by Ren Yaoqi is still very considerable.
Ren Shijia and his wife gave Ren Yaoqi 4,000 taels of silver, and in addition to pressing the bottom of the box, they also gave Ren Yaoqi two pieces of shop surface and a courtyard, although it is not as good as the courtyard given by the palace in Hezhong, but it is also a very good location in Yunyang City.
Ren Shijia and his wife added much more makeup to Ren Yaoqi than Ren Yaohua, but Ren Shijia and his wife can't be blamed for favoring one over the other. Ren Yaoqi and Ren Shijia and the Lin family's affection are different from Ren Yaohua's relationship with them.
In addition to Ren Yaoqi's contribution to Ren Shijia's child being able to survive smoothly, Lin Kun was able to break away from the Lin family and set up another door after getting back what he deserved because Ren Yaoqi secretly helped.
Even now, the Lin family can still gain a firm foothold in Yanbei under the overt or covert suppression of the family, not to mention, it is even better than the Lin family under the competition of all parties, and it is also because of the secret alliance between Lin Kun and the Lei family. And this is also the result of Ren Yao's period of Hanxuan.
Ren Shijia and his wife didn't say it, but they understood it in their hearts, so they felt light on Ren Yaoqi's makeup. It's just that Ren Shijia is just an uncle and aunt after all, and where are a few unmarried nieces, so it's not good to be too blatant to favor one over the other, which makes people unhappy.
Ren Wu and his wife also added makeup to Ren Yao, although it is not as generous as Ren Shijia and his wife, but it is also very rich.
The Ren family's old house also sent something to Ren Yaoqi, but the third master Ren didn't accept it, so he sent it back as it was, which made Mrs. Ren angry enough, and scolded her son at home for not knowing what to do.
Ren Yijun and his wife gave Ren Yaoqi what Ren Yaoqi gave Ren Yaoqi, although it was only a pair of jade pendants and a few hairpins.
In addition, Ren Yaoqi's husband, Mrs. Xu, also sent makeup to Ren Yaoqi, unlike others, Mrs. Xu did not send gold, silver and jade, she gave two books, both of which are rare books that readers and book lovers dream of.
The most surprising thing for Ren Yaochi was that Pei Zhiyan actually gave her a gift. Mr. Pei's gift to Ren Yaochi was a piano, which was not made by a famous artist, but Ren Yaoqi knew that this was made by Mrs. Pei herself when Pei Zhiyan's wife was still alive, and Pei Zhiyan had always been with him all these years.
