Chapter 352: A Bucket of Ginger
"What do you say? Miss Cheng Er was ruined by bandits? The other was taken aback and suddenly raised his voice and cried out, and everyone around heard it and gathered around.
"Not really! What a pathetic! This good little girl was ruined like this. Some people couldn't help but sympathize with Cheng Yun when they heard it, and said with some regret.
"Cut! What such a good little girl? The second young lady is also shameless, she had already secretly fornicated with other men before she was ruined by bandits. Someone said disdainfully.
"What? How is this possible? How could the second lady of General Cheng's Mansion be like this? I heard that she is also a concubine! "Some people are very surprised, they don't believe that Miss Cheng Er will be such a woman, she is obviously also a lady, as for this?
"How could it not be? She is actually a concubine, her mother was originally a concubine, it was General Cheng's original wife who died, she was corrected, what kind of concubine is she, General Cheng's mansion has only one authentic concubine, that is Miss Cheng. "Someone tells the truth.
"Yes! General Cheng is dedicated to the country, and spends most of the year on the frontier, where does he have time to discipline this daughter, these two young ladies are probably taught badly by her mother. "Some people are very sympathetic to General Cheng and also put the responsibility for not educating their daughter well on the Li family.
"I heard that Miss Cheng Er didn't fall red after being ruined by bandits, what does this mean, I don't need to say it, you all know it, right?"
"Impossible, right? If she is already a broken flower and a willow, how can the prince of the Protectorate Mansion still be willing to marry her as a side concubine? Someone asked, as they thought it didn't make sense.
"You don't know this, Miss Cheng Er had made a private agreement with Shi Ziye for life before she was ruined by bandits, I heard that she is now pregnant, the father of the child is Shi Ziye, she is completely a mother and a child, if she is not pregnant, how can Shi Ziye still want her?"
Seeing that everyone was a little unconvinced, the man continued, "Think about it, this Miss Cheng can be the concubine of His Royal Highness King Qin, Miss Cheng Er's mother has been corrected, and she is also a concubine on the surface, why does she want to be a concubine for the prince?" This side concubine is placed in the royal family, and it sounds like a concubine, but in fact, it is equivalent to a concubine, but it is just a high-level concubine! If it weren't for the fact that she was already crippled, could General Cheng let her go to be a side concubine for the prince? ”
"It seems to make sense, is that true? The green hat on the head of the prince is really big enough! ”
"Hahaha!"
The rumors spread ten, ten, hundreds, and became more and more powerful, reaching Lu Yuchen's ears, and he angrily smashed everything in his room that could be smashed.
Huguo Gong walked in, "Dad has already asked people to suppress those gossips, don't think about it so much, she is just a side concubine, after marrying in, isn't it up to you to poke the round and flatten?" Dad will help you find a beautiful lady who is clear and jade to be a concubine. ”
"Dad, she was ...... by so many people The child felt sick when he saw her. Lu Yuchen said with anger on his face.
He remembered the scene he saw with his own eyes that day, and thought to himself and scolded secretly: Why didn't Cheng Yun, a slut, die?
In ancient times, starvation was a small matter, but a loss of festival was a big thing. After many ancient women lost their virginity, they often either felt that they had no face and chose to commit suicide, or they were forced to die by their relatives.
He only blamed Cheng Yun in his heart for why he didn't die, Cheng Yun died, so he didn't have to marry her to enter the door to block himself.
"Alas! Who do you blame? Didn't my father tell you at the beginning, don't go to Cheng Xi to get married, it was you who didn't listen, and made General Cheng see me with a stinky face, if it weren't for Cheng Yun's scandal and worried that she wouldn't be able to get married, do you think General Cheng would agree to let you marry Cheng Yun as a side concubine? Even if you give her the position of concubine, General Cheng's temper will not agree. The Lord Protector glared at his son angrily, thinking that his son was really stupid.
That ugly monster is still innocent, if he doesn't quit the marriage and marry her, he can still leave a good reputation of affection and righteousness, and now, not only is his reputation ruined, but he also has to marry a broken shoe.
Although the rumors are very powerful, but the power of the Protector Mansion is also very powerful, it has only been a few days, and I have not heard anyone spread that matter, but people dare not say it publicly, so they secretly say it, after all, this is a big joke in their opinion, and the reputation of the Protector Mansion in the capital is not good, and there are many people who want to see their jokes, so there are many people who gloat, and what about the prince, it is not that the bandits have cuckolded.
In a blink of an eye, April 18 came, which was an auspicious day of the zodiac, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the prince of the Protector's Mansion both chose this day to go to General Cheng's Mansion to be hired.
Early in the morning, General Cheng was dressed up early, just after the hour, the gongs and drums and firecrackers rang out in front of the General's Mansion, the housekeeper greeted the door, only to see that the front of the door was full of people who watched the excitement, far away, two teams of people and horses beat gongs and drums to march towards the General's Mansion, and they couldn't see the end at a glance, they were His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Prince of the Protector's Mansion came to hire the team.
Both sides of the street have long been crowded with people, and everyone's face is full of envy, you must know that in a mansion, there is a princess, a princess, what a great honor! Looking at the entire capital, only General Cheng's Mansion has such an honor.
People talked a lot about carrying the boxes tied with red satin, and the most talked about was naturally the dowry of the Qin Palace's Mansion and the Protector's Mansion.
But the two teams sent for hire were like a long dragon, the front one carried the dowry into the general's mansion, and the back one couldn't see the end.
When all the people who sent the appointment entered the General's Mansion, the number of people who had good things was clear, and suddenly shouted loudly: "I have counted, the dowry gift given by His Royal Highness the King of Qin is one hundred and sixty-eight, and the one of the prince is sixty-eight." Oh my God! This His Royal Highness the King of Qin is a full hundred more than the prince of the world! ”
"Not at all! His Royal Highness King Qin is the prince, the emperor's own son, and although the prince is a relative of the emperor and the country, he is just the emperor's nephew. Someone said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, besides, His Royal Highness the King of Qin married the main concubine, and the prince married the side concubine, this treatment must be different!"
"Don't you think it's strange? The two concubines in General Cheng's mansion, the elder sister married His Royal Highness the King of Qin as the main concubine, and the younger sister married the prince as the side concubine, what is the reason? And General Cheng is also strange, he can actually agree to let Miss Cheng Er be the side concubine of the prince? "This person was arranged by the masked man, and he deliberately picked out Cheng Yun's ugly thing here.
"It's not unusual at all, don't you know? Hasn't this spread in the capital a long time ago? I heard that Miss Cheng Er has already been defeated ......" The man lowered his voice and whispered a few words.
When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but show a look of sudden realization on their faces, and said, "I see!"
"No wonder!"
"Such a woman can be a side concubine, and she has already burned high incense."
Someone showed a disdainful expression on his face, snorted on the ground, and scolded: "It turned out to be a broken shoe!" ”
"Shhhh Let the people of the Protectorate Mansion hear it, your head is about to move. ”
The man knew that he was speechless and didn't dare to speak more, but there were too many people watching, and now, there were even more people who knew about Cheng Yun's scandal.
"Miss Cheng is still dignified and virtuous, only she is worthy of such a valuable dowry from His Royal Highness King Qin!"
"Yes, yes, but it's strange to say, this dowry, according to our tradition, shouldn't the first dowry be a pair of live geese? The first dowry gift of the prince was a pair of live geese, but the first dowry gift given by His Royal Highness King Qin was actually a bucket of ginger, do you know what the meaning of this gift of ginger is? Someone asked, puzzled.
The people around were also at a loss, no one knew what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of His Royal Highness King Qin? I only think that His Royal Highness King Qin cares so much about Miss Cheng, and the dowry gift he gave definitely has a good meaning.
In General Cheng's mansion, the guards who carried the dowry were one after another, and the dowry boxes were piled up in Cheng Xi's courtyard.
General Cheng looked at the first dowry gift sent by His Royal Highness King Qin in the courtyard: a large bucket of ginger, he thought he was dazzled at first, thinking that this bucket of ginger was made of gold, but when he walked in and looked carefully, it was a large bucket of ginger, which was still very fresh, and the ginger flavor was still very strong, so he couldn't help frowning.
It is unreasonable to say that His Royal Highness the King of Qin does not attach importance to Cheng Xi, except for this large bucket of ginger, every dowry he sent is extremely precious. Besides, according to the royal rules, the prince's appointment is generally sixty-eight lifts, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin is actually a hundred lifts more than the general rules, which shows that in his mind, Cheng Xi is very important.
When he was hired on the same day as the prince of the Protector's Mansion, His Royal Highness King Qin's move gave Cheng Xi enough face and incomparable glory in front of the people in the capital.
"Xi'er, you said that His Royal Highness the King of Qin sent you a large bucket of ginger, what is your purpose?" General Cheng couldn't figure it out, so he asked Cheng Xi, hoping that Cheng Xi could solve the mystery of His Royal Highness King Qin.
Cheng Xi looked at the big bucket of ginger, and remembered that in modern times, he watched the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", Liu Luoguo gave Emperor Qianlong a bucket of ginger, Emperor Qianlong didn't know what he meant, and Shen said that Liu Luoguo was bold and reckless, he was teasing the emperor, and later Liu Luoguo said that a bucket of ginger meant to unify the country.
No matter what, even if she guessed what King Qin was thinking, she couldn't tell the general's father, she shook her head.
Cheng Xi thought to himself: Is His Royal Highness King Qin going to hire the country?
She didn't expect His Royal Highness King Qin to have such great ambitions, she thought that he had inconvenient legs and feet, and would only be an idle cloud and wild crane, a leisurely prince.
His Royal Highness the King of Qin wants these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, does he want to stay and help him? Or do you find your way back to modern times and leave him to go back by himself?
