In general, regardless of whether the owner of the Suiping Bo Mansion is at home or not, the eunuch will only go to the palace to read the holy decree. The people in the house will send letters to Nanyang and Gusu.

But in order to make faces for Zhao Ruxi and Zhao Yuanxun, Xiao Qi specially asked the eunuch to go to Nanyang and Gusu to pass the decree.

Before the eunuch set off on the second day, Xiao Lingyan personally gave him a generous reward and asked him to go to Suiping Bo's Mansion for a trip.

So there was no master of the Suiping Bofu suddenly ushered in the eunuch who sent a decree, and learned the news that his girl was given to marry the king of Qi, and immediately the house was happy, and the people who stayed behind gave the eunuch a reward, and asked people to go to the second and third rooms to send good news. After thinking about it, they sent the good news to the Weiguo Mansion and a few aunts and grandmothers.

When Su Shi knew the news, he was naturally happy for Zhao Ruxi.

She is now orphaned and widowed, and her children are all young, and she still has to live in Suiping Bofu. The better Suiping Bofu, the better her life will be.

When the people in the second room heard the news of the marriage, their feelings were extremely complicated.

It's not that I'm not happy for Zhao Ruxi, everyone is happy. Just thinking of the two sisters Zhao Rurui and Zhao Ruyu, the father and son have an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

"It's good that the fifth sister is like this." Zhao Jingan muttered.

He didn't stand at that height, and he wouldn't have considered the situation. He felt that marrying the prince and becoming a princess was the supreme honor for a woman, so he felt this way.

"yes." Zhao Yuanliang remembered the first time he saw Zhao Ruxi in Xiaorong Village. At that time, he thought it was his daughter, and he felt guilty and made amends for her.

Unexpectedly, in just over two years, she was admitted to the top prize and married the prince to be the princess, standing at the height he needed to look up to.

The eunuch was going to Nanyang, so it was relatively early to go to Suiping Bofu to deliver the decree. Zhao Jingtai was a petty official in the household department, so he naturally did not have the qualifications to go to the court, and he did not go to the government at home at this time.

He sighed: "So whether you are a man or a woman, you should work your own, and don't always expect to rely on others." Look at the fifth sister, and then look at the fourth sister and the sixth sister, their starting point is not about the same, but far from it. The fifth sister used to save pen and ink in the countryside, and there were few books to read. The fourth sister and the sixth sister had a specially invited female master to teach them. ”

"Look at what they have accomplished today and the path each one has chosen......" he shook his head and said no more.

Zhao Yuanliang was a little surprised.

He knew that his son didn't mean to be sarcastic, but he always felt like he had been hit by an arrow in the chest.

Zhao Jing'an was silent for a moment, nodded, stood up and said, "Although the fifth sister is very smart, her efforts are the key factor in her ability to have today. She has never let go of the book and the pen is never left in her hand. When we passed, she was either reading a book or practicing calligraphy, and there was rarely time to rest, let alone play. ”

"Such a person is worthy of His Royal Highness King Qi's marriage. Unlike the fourth sister and the sixth sister, they don't do anything and think about how to marry a good family all day long. In the end, he went to be a concubine. It's really a trick. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and said, "I'm going to study." Next spring, I must be admitted to the Tongsheng examination. ”

In fact, his goal is to show talent. But he was worried that his father and brother would say that he was too ambitious, so he lowered his goal a little. After all, he failed in the childhood test this spring, and he has no qualifications to speak big.

"I'm going to go to the government too." Zhao Jingli was also full of fighting spirit and decided to study arithmetic harder and become an indispensable official of the household department.

Zhao Yuanliang looked at the backs of his two sons and asked, "This news, do you want to send someone to tell your fourth sister and sixth sister?" ”

Zhao Jingli paused and glanced at Zhao Jing'an.

Zhao Jingan lowered his head and nodded: "Okay, let's talk to them, and let them know what ambitious women will get." ”

Seriously, when I learned that Zhao Ruyu also went to be a concubine and saw the letter she left, it was Zhao Jing'an who was hit the hardest.

He always thought that Zhao Ruyu was his twin sister, and the two grew up together and had a deep relationship. Later, even if he knew that Zhao Ruyu was not a child of the Zhao family, he was still willing to do his best to protect her.

Although he was disappointed in Zhao Ruyu after the separation, his feelings for so many years cannot be erased.

He really didn't expect Zhao Ruyu to choose such a path.

Zhao Ruyu is different from Zhao Rurui. Although she is not the biological daughter of the Zhao family, her appearance is better than Zhao Rurui, her personality is better than her, and she is a student of the Beijing Women's Academy, and her piano skills are so good. With the character of the father and son of the second room, she naturally has a marriage when she gets married. As long as she is willing, she can definitely marry a better family.

But she went to be a concubine.

What is it worth a man who has married his wife for only a month and then takes a concubine to give up her dignity to spend her life with him?

Zhao Jingan couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that one of the two sons went back to his yard and the other went out of the gate, Zhao Yuanliang called the mother-in-law of the family and said, "You ask the kitchen to make some snacks that the six girls love to eat, send them to the Jingping Palace, and tell her about the marriage of the five girls by the way." ”

The mother-in-law said reluctantly: "Master, the people in Jingping Wangfu said that the sixth girl is just a concubine. They said that they don't know what the rules of our house are, anyway, the concubines of their palace are not allowed to hand things outside all day long, and told us not to send things to their mansion anymore. ”

"Last time, the old slave was stunned and spent half a penny of silver to make it, and his mouth was worn out, so he begged the porter to hand the things in. As a result, there was no response at all. ”

"The good news of the fifth girl, since the sixth girl is in the palace, she will know it sooner or later. According to the old slave, let's forget it now. ”

Zhao Yuanliang's face sank: "What's the matter, I can't move you anymore, right?" I send something to my daughter and deliver a message, and I have to get your old minion's consent? ”

"Don't dare." The mother-in-law hurriedly knelt down, "The old slave just do what the old man tells me." It's just that this bit of silver, the old slave has a little bit of money a month, and he has to support his family, so he can't get it. ”

Zhao Yuanliang glared at her, angry for a long time, and then helplessly took out a dime of broken silver from his arms and threw it in front of his mother-in-law: "Hurry up." ”

"Yes." The mother-in-law picked up the silver, bowed, and then retreated.

Zhao Yuanliang spat at her back, touched the silver in his arms, and looked painful.

The eldest son is the housekeeper, and he gives him ten taels of silver a month, and he usually doesn't dare to go to the restaurant to drink with his group of fox friends and dogs, for fear that he will be invited back after eating others. His ten taels of silver, in addition to his own expenses, sometimes he has to take a worthless jewelry to coax his concubine, and he is really short of money.
