Chapter 157: It Turns Out to Be All Laughing
Jiang Ziyan said with a smile: "Father, I have already said that I am not a living bodhisattva who saves suffering. At the beginning, Jiang Fu enjoyed my mother's dowry and lived a life of fine clothes and food, but he threw me to Ningxiangju and left me to fend for myself, if it weren't for the abbot's master's mercy, I'm afraid that your unfilial daughter would have been gone long ago, and you could still waste your tongue here. ”
Jiang Yicheng was speechless, now that Jiang Ziyan has received the imperial seal, if Jiang Yicheng speaks wildly to Jiang Ziyan again, it will be insulting the officials of the imperial court, and he will lose his official position, and if he doesn't get it right, he will lose his head.
What I don't like the most, what I don't like the most, is this unfilial girl, but it is this unfilial girl who is thriving, not to mention being crowned the throne, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is now not crippled, and his appearance has also recovered, and the balance in the court is tilting towards His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
I knew that today, the position of Princess Chu should have been let Chu Er sit, but I pity the first talented woman in the capital who has been cultivated for more than ten years, and I made a concubine for Fanbang Shuzi, this unfilial girl who can't see her eyes in her life, but she wants to become the princess of Chu who has attracted the attention of thousands of people.
Jiang Ziyan didn't have time to spend time here in Jiang Yicheng, so he took Ye Yu Ye Cicada into the carriage and went straight to the outside of the city.
Those Zhuangzi outside the city have not been there once since they got the title deed. Although these Zhuangzi were originally from the Guogong Mansion, after all, they have been held in the hands of the Jiang Mansion for more than ten years, and some people should also be replaced.
Now Emperor Qingyuan has rewarded five more Zhuangzi, plus the previous four, nine Zhuangzi turned down, how to do it will take more than ten days, and he has to buy a dowry, and he is too busy to see it.
When it was dark, Jiang Ziyan and the others rushed back to the city.
When I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I saw that the plaque outside the gate was replaced with 'Protecting the Country and Houfu', and the people outside the door helped the coachman lead the horse, and at the same time reported to Jiang Ziyan, saying that this plaque was sent by His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
The subordinate also told Jiang Ziyan that there are many nobles in the mansion now, and they are all taken in by the housekeeper, and the details are not clear.
Jiang Ziyan walked inside, thinking about who came to the house at this time.
As soon as I arrived outside the gate of Fengming Garden, the housekeeper took a group of family members to guard here.
The housekeeper brought all the family members over to greet Jiang Ziyan, and Jiang Ziyan said, "Who is from the house?" ”
"Princess Qiyu, the three ladies of the Ye Guogong Mansion and Princess Bihua are all inside." The butler replied.
What a distinguished guest.
Jiang Ziyan entered the courtyard and heard the voice of the third aunt coming out of the living room, "Yan'er's dowry is out of our Ye Mansion, how can I say that it is also our Ye Mansion's baby pimple to marry, and there is no marriage system." ”
Yahuan, who was standing at the door, saw that the master was back, hurriedly saluted, stepped forward to open the curtain for Jiang Ziyan, and waited there.
Although it is late spring now, it is still a little cool in the morning and evening, the curtain opened, and a cool breeze entered the house, everyone stopped laughing and saw Jiang Ziyan come in.
Without waiting for Jiang Ziyan to come forward to greet her, the third aunt pulled Jiang Ziyan and said, "My Yan'er is now also protecting the country, this is a great honor." When your grandmother found out, she ate two more bowls of rice, saying that she wanted to see your children and grandchildren full of them. ”
The three aunts and Princess Bihua are all elders, Jiang Ziyan didn't know who to salute first for a while, so she said with a smile: "Yan'er doesn't know that the elders are coming, let the elders wait for Yan'er here, it's all Yan'er, Yan'er is here to apologize to the elders, I hope the elders don't be surprised." ”
"If you want to be weird, we can't spare you, this ghost girl, we will invite us to a big dinner tonight, but we can't treat us old women badly." The third aunt kept pulling Jiang Ziyan, as if she was afraid that Jiang Ziyan would run away.
The eldest aunt, who has never liked to say much, beckoned to Jiang Ziyan and said, "Yan'er, come to the eldest aunt." ”
Jiang Ziyan sat down next to her eldest aunt, and saw her eldest aunt say solemnly: "When your mother got married, the dowry was placed on three streets, and no one has crossed your mother until now. ”
This is true, more than ten years have passed, and the people in the capital are still envious and jealous when they talk about the marriage of the young lady of the Guogong Mansion. When anyone's daughter gets married, she has to say the last sentence, we are just ordinary people, so don't compare with Miss Ye.
In fact, the girl did not envy her mother.
Thinking of her mother, tears rolled out of the corners of Jiang Ziyan's eyes, and she hurriedly wiped them away with her hands, but she was still seen by the careful second aunt.
The second aunt said: "We discussed it at home, Yan'er's dowry can only be more than her mother Yuyao's, not less." The old lady had an order that the dowry picks should be lined up from the Houguo Houfu to the Chu Palace, so that half of the capital would be filled with smoke. ”
"The money for the dowry will come out of the Ye Mansion." The eldest aunt said, taking out a stack of silver tickets from her sleeve pocket and placing them on the table.
"This is one million taels, not enough to get it in Ye Mansion." The third aunt looked at the silver ticket on the table and said, "We haven't married a daughter in Yefu for more than ten years, and we still have to do it this time." ”
Princess Bihua originally knew each other with several aunts when she was young, and she usually had wedding banquets in various houses, and she could occasionally meet each other, so she was not a stranger. Several aunts are also one of the few friends of Princess Bihua among the noblewomen.
Seeing that Ye Fu took out the silver to buy the dowry, Princess Bihua said: "Yan'er, I'm afraid you haven't told your grandfather's family about your marriage to Xiangyue, right?" ”
Without waiting for Jiang Ziyan to speak, the third aunt said, "When did this happen?" We have another granddaughter in Yefu, and we have to put on a feast and drink for three days and three nights. ”
Originally, the secret guards of the Ye Mansion followed Jiang Ziyan, but later learned that the Chu Wangfu had also sent secret guards, so they withdrew the secret guards of the Ye Mansion.
It was rare to see Princess Bihua laughing in front of people, and now she couldn't close her mouth when she smiled, and said: "It's not one more, but two, if you set up a banquet, I'm afraid it's not enough for three days and three nights." ”
"Two? The other one is... The three aunts asked together.
"It's Sister Yanghe in Prince Yu's grandfather's mansion." Jiang Ziyan saw that the three aunts were anxious to know, so she stood up and replied.
"It's wonderful." The third aunt also stood up, "Back then, we used to kill the enemy with the mother of the county lord of Yanghe on the battlefield, who knew that such a woman would leave her daughter behind and chase her husband. ”
Jiang Ziyan thought that his uncle also died during the battle, and when he talked about this, he was afraid that his aunt would be sad, so he pulled his third aunt to sit down.
The second aunt said: "I still thought that Yan'er was lonely and lonely, and without us old women, who would accompany Yan'er to chat and talk." Now, with the two county lords by our side, it's time for us old witches to lean back. ”
"My aunt laughed, Yan'er can't leave a few aunts at any time." Jiang Ziyan saw that everyone was happy, so he laughed with everyone.
Unexpectedly, offended the one next to her, Princess Bihua said: "I can't leave your aunts, so I can afford to be my godmother." ”
"No one can leave Yan'er, I want to give birth to a room of children, and everyone will help me bring them." Jiang Ziyan was originally a modern soul, forgetting that in ancient times, these things about having children could not be taken out, but now that he said it, everyone laughed.
Fortunately, they were all from the past, although they felt that Jiang Ziyan's words were a little something, no one felt that there was anything wrong, they just told the truth.
Princess Bihua has been subject to court etiquette since she was a child, and she pays attention to laughing without leaking her teeth, and she has never laughed so heartily as she did today, and she feels refreshed.
No wonder the ladies of Ye Mansion looked young and beautiful, and they all laughed.
Everyone laughed for a round, and Princess Bihua said: "Now Yan'er is also my daughter, and my daughter's marriage to be a mother naturally wants to buy a dowry. ”
"What?!!!" Her Royal Highness the Princess is going to live here.
The third aunt asked, "As a royal person, is Her Royal Highness not allowed to attend the wedding of His Royal Highness the King of Chu?" ”
"When Yan'er gets on the sedan chair, it's not too late for me to go to the Chu Palace's mansion to attend the wedding." Princess Bihua smiled and said, "Or do you want to rob me of my mother's position?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, the position of mother belongs to Her Royal Highness the Princess." We're just aunts, it's okay to help, and no one can grab the mother's seat.
"That's right," Princess Bihua continued: "Prince Yu's Mansion also has a dowry, and when the time comes, it will be carried directly to the Chu Palace, and Yan'er's wedding is probably the most unprecedented thing in the history of the Northern Jin Dynasty." ”
Usually, Princess Bihua has a straight face, looking noble and majestic, but now a smiling face is placed there, and she is really a peerless beauty.
"On the right day, your grandmother will also come over to accompany you to the sedan chair and help you press the sedan chair."
The eldest aunt's words really have weight.
"How dare Yan'er alarm her grandmother's old man's car?"
Jiang Ziyan was happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but be polite.
"Everybody wants to get a touch of your joy."
