Chapter 135: Former Joy
This catastrophe came unexpectedly, and fortunately in the misfortune, he was turned the tide by Jeegqi, and finally passed it safely, without setting off the slightest rumor. was twisted by him again, which became a turning point in breaking the ice in his marriage with Yu Zhao.
Everything is destined to be logical, and after some time, the news of the marriage between Nanrong Mansion and the royal family of the Western Capital was released, and everyone was not surprised, but just sighed.
I feel that the fate of the gods is very ingenious, and the merger of the two most noble families in the West is not only a reward for the merits of the Nanrong family, but also not afraid of the power of Yecheng. It was also reasonable, so that many people who peeked into the governance of Ye City and the family property of Nanrong Mansion secretly gritted their teeth, dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they had to retract the gaze placed on Yu Zhao.
Since it is a national wedding, the etiquette is naturally cumbersome and grand.
In order to show his appreciation for Nam Rong Mansion, the king gave grace again. Let Ye Geqi go to Yecheng to make an engagement ceremony, and set up several floors of the Red House in the center of Yecheng, sitting east and facing west.
Those who worship to the west are the monarch's parents, and those who worship to the east are the spirit of the returning lake. First, the family and country will be harmonious after the marriage, and the second is to spend this life together.
The whole house was very busy for this engagement, and Luo Zhi's Baibao Joy Crown, the gem and jewel on it made the craftsmen change again and again, and every time they were not satisfied, they had to change it for a better one every time.
But the world's treasures have been piled up, where to find a better one. In the end, it is just a ruby to set the crown.
In this regard, Luo Zhi was still not satisfied, and took Yu Zhao's hand and complained: "He Ning is the pearl in my palm, marry her so unceremoniously, how can Brother Wang's son be like this!" ”
This statement is false, absolutely grand, just the engagement, the red mansion in the city that stands tall in the city has aroused everyone's amazement.
There are also jewelry pavilions and ready-to-wear shops in the city, and overnight, the things that can be seen are all swept clean by Mrs. Nanrong's big hand.
The shopkeepers were overjoyed when they saw this, and they didn't wait for Mrs. Nanrong to come and loot it in person, so they directly held the treasure and went to Nanrong's mansion to line up and put things in Yu Zhao's dowry box.
After taking the money, he said auspicious words, and I don't know how many words of good luck the maid who bought it listened to all day long, and gave birth to a noble son early.
As the head of the family, Nan Rong Weixiao was not to be outdone, and sent an urgent letter ordering the caravans sent to various countries to collect everything in the world, and do his best to support his granddaughter.
Yu Lu, who married into a neighboring city, was not idle, and together with Wen Sheng, he brought a hundred boxes of fine brocade yarn to Nanrong Mansion to congratulate. After that, he didn't leave, and helped Mrs. Nanrong and Luo Zhi to arrange the engagement matters together.
Everything was busy, and Yu Zhao was left to the sidelines. Lotus flowers are idle together, shouting in her ear every day.
"I heard De Niang say that it is rumored outside, and the courtesy prepared by the crown prince can't be loaded on a single street in the Western Capital!"
"I heard Lianye say that the Wen family is very good to Mrs., and Miss can rest assured that she will marry in the Western Capital, and she doesn't have to worry about anything."
"I heard from the chief of the guard that I found the illegitimate daughter of the Xu family, but I heard that I fell into the lake with an old woman, and my body was swollen when I floated up."
These words made Yu Zhao's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the people of the Xu family, only Xu Yan was innocent, but he lived and died miserably.
Lotus Flower didn't notice the change in Yu Zhao's face, and continued: "But she will wear the young lady's bracelet and hairpin ring, and she is still holding your pearl pendant tightly in her hand, she must have snatched it." ”
Yu Zhao couldn't help but sigh lightly, shook his head and said, "No, I sent her." ”
Hearing this, Lotus Flower was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Madame feels that she can't hit the bad luck, those jewels are not taken back, and someone will bury her excessively." ”
Yu Zhao was silent, she looked at Xu Yan before, she was not interested in gold and silver jewelry, those things were definitely not worn by herself, and Xu Ling clearly handed over all the things to the grandmother.
Yu Zhao roughly guessed that it must have been that the grandmother heard the news that Xu's house was raided, knew that Xu Ling's plan had failed, and decided that there was no way to live, so she could only take Xu Yan to die.
Maybe she also felt pitiful when Xu Yan was alive, and hoped that she would walk decently, so before driving into the river, she put those jewelry on Xu Yan.
While sighing, Yu Zhao also secretly prayed for Xu Yan, hoping that she would wear these valuables and really devote herself to a wealthy and worry-free home in the next life. And to be able to meet the family who loves her and protects her, just like the pearl in her hand, pure and flawless, is enshrined as a jewel in the palm of her hand.
The Xu family died, Yu Zhao asked Ye Geqi to suppress the news of the matter, and secretly punished the family magnates involved, and from then on, only Yu Zhao remembered that there was a girl named Xu Yan in this world.
That's good, she was ruined by those people in this life and it was not worth remembering, Yu Zhao made up her mind to keep it a secret for her, and when she drank the soup and crossed the bridge, she was an innocent little girl again, she suffered so much in this life, and she might be able to worry about it in the next life.
The nostalgia of the living for the dead is only temporary, because it is necessary to live the life in front of them. Seeing that the engagement day is getting closer and closer, Nanrong Mansion is changing little by little, the lantern curtain is red, and the whole house is full of joy, which is more grand than the New Year.
But no, Mrs. Nanrong, Luo Zhi, Yu Lu, everyone has become generous, and the people who work a little harder will be rewarded with red envelopes, and gold and silver are scattered all over the sky like worthless, Yu Zhao lay on the railing of the pavilion and watched them busy with their work, and couldn't help joking: "Grandmother took her mother and Aji, only cared about being happy, and rewarded your granddaughter's dowry, and when she arrived in the Western Capital, she was bullied." ”
Several people were amused by this sour remark with a smile, and they came up and dragged Yu Zhao to sit in the courtyard where the dowry was kept, and ordered someone to move the box of shoes. Mrs. Nanrong smiled: "He Ning is so young, it's really stingy, today grandmother let you see the row of our Nanrong Mansion!" ”
As he spoke, he took out the shoes one by one and tried them on for Yu Zhao. "This is just shoes, enough for you to wear for a lifetime, you try every pair, after trying it is almost next year's wedding, step on it in our house, meaning no matter how far Hening goes in the future, this will always be your home, and there will always be a place for you."
The custom of trying on shoes before the original daughter got married has this meaning. When Mrs. Nan Rong said this, her tone was extremely loving, Yu Zhao's heart warmed when she heard it, but her eyes were sour, and when she looked at Luo Zhi and Yu Lu again, she was also secretly wiping her tears.
Although these tears are reluctant, they are indeed joyful, once upon a time, Yu Zhao and Yu Lu thought that they would have a lifetime. I never thought that there would be such a warm haven as Nanrong Mansion in this world, and after belonging, the two people who depended on each other got a peace of mind that they had never had before.
Now that Yu Zhao is about to entrust his life to one person, Yu Lu is relieved, because everyone in the world says that that person is the best man in the West, and he treats Yu Zhao with all his heart.
A few days later, when the spring was warm and the snow melted, Ye Geqi came with a full heart of piety, but he was engaged to the wedding, and he still valued it very much, and personally took the most solemn honor guard of the West to wait at the closed gate of Nanrong Mansion.
This time, no one dared to discuss the suspicion of disrespecting the royal family, because Nanrong Mansion was about to present the most precious pearl, and such sincerity was precious and unique.
