Chapter 721: Chaos Grows Together
She is old, but she can't stand the pain of illness, if there are three long and two short, she doesn't care, and it is enough to live to this point. But Zhao Ruxi has to keep filial piety for one year, and his son has to worry for three years.
Doesn't that delay things?
"Didn't Zhu say it? Sister Xi is capable of herself and has made so much money, and her existing Zhuangzi, shop, and house are a rich dowry. Let's add a Zhuangzi and a shop to her, buy some jewelry and clothes, all kinds of furniture, utensils, and that's it. β
"Sister Xi said, everyone knows what kind of family background our Suiping Bofu used to be, it is easy to get into trouble if she marries too much, and it is better to eat the meat buried under the rice, and she plans to hide some of her private property and not take it out to cross the road. Sister Xi'er's brain is smarter than anyone else's. Let's just do it. β
"Well, I know that too. We must listen to Sister Xi. The old lady sighed, "I'm just worried that others will laugh at her and us, and say that we are poor." β
"Who dares to laugh at us?" Zhao Yuanxun is more confident than anyone else at this moment, "Whose daughter can be admitted to the top prize?" Whose daughter can sell thousands of taels of silver for painting and writing? It's not the dowry that we're marrying, it's the talent. With this talent, not only are the children born extremely smart, but the money from painting two paintings and selling them is enough to cover the dowry they asked for from their parents. If you dare to laugh at us, you will be humiliated. β
Old lady: "......" makes sense.
It's just that......
She glanced at her son.
Although as a mother-in-law, she looks at her son's filter thicker than the bottom of the bottle, but at this moment she is full of disgust for her son.
It doesn't matter if you rely on your daughter to be an official, and now that your daughter can't get too much dowry when she marries, she lets her daughter marry with her talent. Her son used to look fine, but compared to his capable granddaughter, no matter how he looked at it, he thought that this son was a waste.
"Come on, this Sister Xi knows it in her heart, let's listen to her. It's just that you are now an official in Gusu, and you can't leave your place of office, and when Sister Xi gets married, won't you be able to participate? Her face was full of regret, "What a glory that is!" β
Thinking about those who looked down on her and her son before, they all flattered their mother and son with shy faces, and she drank ice water like June in her heart, refreshing from head to bottom of her feet. But her son couldn't see such a glorious thing, not only did her son regret it, but she also regretted it.
Zhao Yuanxun said: "I always feel that before Sister Xi gets married, the emperor will transfer me back to Beijing." β
The old lady's face was full of surprise: "Really? β
Zhao Yuanxun saw that there were no outsiders in the house, and said proudly: "Now that I am also a family with the emperor, he will never watch me not even participate in my daughter's marriage, right?" β
His family is not from Gusu? Zhao Ruxi, even if he was not an official before marriage, went home to prepare for marriage? It is also impossible to marry from Gusu, but from Suiping Bofu. Officials can't leave their place of office without permission? This is the rule of the imperial court. The emperor can neither break the rules nor prevent him from participating in his daughter's marriage? That can only transfer him back to Beijing.
"That's great." The old lady said happily.
Although Gusu is good, the old lady has lived in the capital all her life? I always feel that Suiping Bofu is home.
Because of this, the old lady looked forward to the transfer documents every day. She also doesn't expect her son to be promoted. Just this incompetent stupid son? Is it the best way to do it now? If she doesn't go on a business trip in Gusu, it's because Zhang Shun wants to hug her sister's thigh, and everything covers her son.
Transferred back to the capital, I want him to do a good job, not go on a business trip, and not drag Sister Xi back? I still have to be just a petty official. How big a bowl of rice can you eat? She understands this truth, but her heart is like a mirror.
She only asked to return to the capital.
But when the weather is getting colder and colder, seeing that the year is approaching, Zhao Yuanxun's transfer documents have not yet arrived, and Zhao Ruxi's wedding date is approaching.
She couldn't help but send someone to ask Zhao Ruxi.
Zhao Ruxi replied to her: Don't wait? Not this year. Her father won't be transferred until next spring.
It's not that the emperor refuses? It's not that her senior brother doesn't give her strength, but Xiao Lingyan is pressing.
Because the chaos in the capital has become more and more obvious.
The plot was already messed up? Xiao Lingpu is not dead, Xiao Lingyan is also alive and well? They both thought that the third prince would not be so crazy? Dare to magnify the move to kill the prince. But because of the relationship between the assassination of Zhao Ruxi and the mutual fabrication? In the past six months, the two factions of the crown prince and the third prince have fought very fiercely. The two of them fought, so naturally they would not let the second prince and the fourth prince take advantage of the fisherman, and directly pulled them into the water.
Therefore, the capital now looks fine on the surface, but in fact it is very chaotic.
Soon after the marriage, Xiao Lingyan discussed the marriage date with Zhao Ruxi, and wanted to move the marriage date back, at least until March or April, when the chaos in the plot of the original book had been stabilized before getting married, so that Zhao Ruxi's safety would have a certain guarantee.
But Zhao Ruxi disagreed.
With her, when Xiao Lingyan is in danger, she can still rely on the golden finger to help. She also wanted to save Xiao Qi's life.
She told Xiao Lingyan that the fight between the prince and the third prince was caused by the assassination of her, and the two must have hated her. If the two of them sent someone to kill her before they went crazy, even if there were guards sent by Xiao Lingyan and the two imperial guards given by the emperor, I am afraid they would not be able to prevent it.
Xiao Lingyan was worried about her and sent the most powerful guards to protect her, so the strength around him would become weaker. At this time, it is better to get married, she lives in the Qi Palace, and the guards around the two are merged, which is safer.
But no matter what they think, the date of marriage is not set by them, but calculated by Tiansi. After Xiao Lingyan told Xiao Qi about the approximate date of marriage, Tiansi finally chose February 16 to get married.
Although February 16 is the year later, Zhao Ruxi has to return to Beijing to prepare for marriage.
Zhao Ruxi didn't want her family to be in danger, so Xiao Lingyan persuaded Xiao Qi to let Zhao Yuanxun go back for half a month to drink wedding wine when she got married, and still return to Gusu to be an official after attending the wedding. And she herself will not return to Beijing until December 20.
She was already an airborne state acquaintance, and now her departure has no impact, as long as she can hand over the mess she was in charge of to Cai Yaozong and Li Li, it will have no impact on official affairs.
In the original book, the coup d'Γ©tat was on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the time was completely in time.
On this day, Xiao Lingyan came to persuade Zhao Ruxi overnight: "It's better for you to go to Gusu for the New Year, and let your parents reunite for the New Year." Wait for the eighth day of junior high school and then return to Beijing. No one rules that you have to go back to Beijing to prepare for marriage, and it is the same if you go to Gusu to prepare for marriage. β
"But I really don't want to see the emperor die." Zhao Ruxi said, "Your father is a good emperor, I hope he is healthy and long-lived." β
Xiao Lingyan was silent.
He also had feelings for Xiao Qi, so he naturally didn't want him to die. can let Zhao Ruxi take risks, he can't bear it.
