Chapter 753: Decision
After being strictly disciplined by the old lady of Weiguo, she didn't dare to talk nonsense, and only whispered to a cousin who had the best time with her in the house, but she didn't want to be heard by the big girl sent by the old lady to spy on her, and reported to the old lady.
The old lady of Wei Guo immediately called her over, reprimanded her fiercely, punished her to kneel in the Buddhist hall for an hour, and then punished her for copying a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures.
When Duchess Wei Guo heard this, she said to her mother-in-law: "Mother, what should you do if you see Sister Xuan's relatives?" She is sixteen years old, either she will withdraw from her family, or she will get married, she can't delay it any longer, she has to make a decision. β
She didn't want to leave this niece at home anymore, and she didn't invite trouble.
"Let's get married." The old lady made up her mind.
Originally, Xiao Lingyan had never been married, so each family in the capital kept one or two daughters of the right age, hoping to be favored by the royal family and appointed as the princess of Qi or the side concubine.
Later, Zhao Ruxi was named a princess, and the emperor and the concubine did not mean to give King Qi any more concubines, so these families made a marriage to their daughters.
Qi Xuan was rejected by Xiao Lingyan, and after hearing that he was married, she had to be married by her family.
However, because of the stimulation of this incident, she did not agree to the family that was married to her in her previous life. The second lady of Qi was also high-spirited, so she set her a son of a family with the same status as the Duke of England and the Duke of Weiguo, and the wedding date was in late March.
I never thought that after a coup d'Γ©tat in the New Year, although the family that was married to Qi Xuan was not raided, all the people in high positions were degraded.
The son's father was relegated to the prefect of a province to the west, which was very barren and had a border; And he himself is just a lifter, and because his family participated in the succession, even if he participated in the imperial examination two years later and won the jinshi, the emperor would suppress him and send him to a remote and poor county to serve.
Seeing her future husband's family like this, Qi Xuan didn't want to marry, and the second lady also had the intention of repenting.
The Patriotic Mansion married people because they wanted to find allies to strengthen themselves. The family that married Qi Xuan will not come out again within three generations, not only will it not help the Weiguo Mansion, but it may also drag them down.
So recently, the old lady has been hesitating to give Qi Xuan a divorce.
Now that she heard that Qi Xuan was still so unreasonable after her teaching, she dared to say anything, she was very angry, and suddenly felt that it was good for her granddaughter to marry her fiancΓ©.
When the time comes, follow her husband's family or husband to work in a remote place, far away from the capital, maybe this is a good thing for the Weiguo Mansion.
"Gather her relatives and get married at the original time." The old lady said.
"Yes, Mother." Duchess Wei was delighted.
β¦β¦
In the Suiping Bo's Mansion, the Zhu family personally received Aunt Yu, and after talking to her for a while, asked Mama Ruan and Mama Zhou to accompany her, and she hurried to the old lady's courtyard to know how her daughter's life was after marriage.
Zhao Yuanxun came back half a month before he got married, and he is still at home, preparing to take the old lady, Zhu, and Zhao Jingtai to Gusu ten days later.
ββ¦β¦ Anyway, there are only two masters in the house, me and His Royal Highness. It turns out that His Royal Highness likes to be quiet, and there are not many people in the house. Now that I have more to marry, there is no one else. Your Highness is sick again, and naturally no one dares not to listen to me. β
When Zhu walked into the house, he heard his daughter's words.
Seeing the Zhu family coming in, Zhao Ruxi raised a smile and shouted, "Mother." β
The old lady still asked uneasily, "Isn't there an old lady in that house?" For example, His Royal Highness the King of Qi's nurse and the like? β
This kind of subordinate is the most difficult to deal with. Relying on the milk of the master, he treats the master as his own son, and looks down on the new hostess in various ways, and wants to provoke, especially when the hostess's background is not as good as her master.
If Xiao Lingyan has such a nurse, it must be an old man in the palace. Cen Guifei is not worried that her son will go out to live alone, so she must send a nurse to go out to take care of her son's life.
This kind of old man in the palace is even more difficult to deal with.
"Your Highness's nurse is indeed still there." Zhao Ruxi said, "But two years earlier, His Royal Highness said that he had grown up, so he gave the nurse a sum of money, and also helped her nephew, so that she could go back to her hometown and follow her nephew to enjoy happiness." β
"His Royal Highness doesn't care, he sends people to see every year and sends some money and things to the nurse, and the nephew doesn't dare to treat the old lady badly. Now the old lady is doing well. β
This is what Xiao Lingyan did at the beginning of the crossing.
At that time, he not only changed the little eunuch who followed him, but also sent the nurse back to his hometown.
His nurse naturally refused, and wanted to stay in the capital, and wait for him to go out to build a mansion and follow him to the palace of the king of Qi to enjoy happiness.
But Xiao Lingyan insisted on doing this, and Cen Guifei was naturally happy to send the nurse away.
You must know that if this kind of nurse talks about her feelings, manipulates the prince, or is used to harm the prince, it will be a big disaster. It's better to clean up early.
Hearing this, the old lady and Zhao Yuanxun both breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu saw that his youngest son also breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be angry and funny.
Zhao Yuanxun asked: "Now that you are married, will the emperor and the king of Qi still let you come out to be an official?" β
Maybe for the old lady and the women of the Zhu family, Zhao Ruxi successfully married King Qi, if King Qi recovers his health and is good to Zhao Ruxi, Zhao Ruxi can give birth to a son smoothly, then this life will be complete. It doesn't matter if you are an official or not.
But in the eyes of a somewhat enterprising man like Zhao Yuanxun, Zhao Ruxi is far from enough.
If only it were another woman, forget it. A woman like Zhao Ruxi, who won the champion and made outstanding achievements in Nanyang after being an official for half a year, should not stay in the back house, but should go back to the court to do things, so as to live up to her talent and ability.
Of course, men such as Zhao Yuanxun, Kang Shilin, Wu Huaisi, Peng Guoan and other broad-minded, close to her, and appreciating her talent will think so.
Those men who look down on women and oppose women's participation in politics can wish that Zhao Ruxi would settle down from now on and stop jumping around.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. King Qi said whatever I liked. If I am willing to go out and become an official, he will not only not stop me, but will support me. If I just want to stay at home, he'll leave it to me. Zhao Ruxi said.
Upon hearing this, smiles appeared on the faces of the three elders of the Zhao family.
Although Xiao Lingyan's paralyzed body made them very worried, his heart for Zhao Ruxi completely made up for his poor health.
Compared with the man who is healthy but sleeps in the willows and makes his wife sad, they would rather have a son-in-law (grandson-in-law) like Xiao Lingyan.
"And what do you think?" Zhao Yuanxun asked again.
"Now His Highness's health is not good, if I go out and run around, it will inevitably be too much gossip." Zhao Ruxi said.
