Seeing that his wife Qin was nearly fifty years old, but her personality was as innocent and ignorant as when she was young, Wu Sutai shook her head helplessly, couldn't help but sigh heavily, and turned her head and instructed her son Wu Jiandao: "Jian'er, go back and tell your daughter-in-law, the army has been busy with affairs recently, and there is no skill for your father, Xiang'er is about to get married, and you are the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and all affairs are handled by your husband and wife, so you should share the worries for me and your mother." ”

"Please rest assured father, Jing'er and I must prepare well to let my sister marry into Jiannan Wangfu in style, and never let my father and mother worry." Thinking that the little sister who had a strong relationship with him in the past would marry Dazhou in the near future, Wu Jian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

Hearing his son Wu Jian say this, Wu Sutai nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered the servants to prepare horses and rush to the army to take charge of military affairs.

Seeing her husband striding out of the house, Qin still didn't come out of the sadness just now, wiped her tears and continued to complain to her son: "Jian'er, what do you mean by your father?" Even though Xiang'er is married to the prince of Jiannan, our Anguo Mansion is not a white-clothed family, and Xiang'er only has one daughter, so I don't want her to suffer such grievances. ”

Unlike his father Wu Sutai, who was only familiar with military affairs, Wu Jian's young man went through the family history, and when he became an adult, he led the army with his father, and now he has been immersed in officialdom for several years, coupled with his innate political sensitivity and extraordinary talent, he is too familiar with those things inside and outside the palace. He knew in his heart that between King Yi and King Jiannan, his father weighed and finally chose King Jiannan, who was kind to the Wu family in his early years, and he recognized this from the bottom of his heart, so he acquiesced in his father's choice, his father's choice, that is, the choice of the Anguo Mansion.

How did the court woman know about the court dispute? Especially like his mother, who has lived in his father's strong arm all his life, and has never had the opportunity to stand out the wind and rain alone, how can he see the huge risk behind the marriage between the Anguo Mansion and the Jiannan Palace? In-laws, especially those of the prince's family, which one is not related to the rise and fall of the family, honor and disgrace, or even, life and death?

However, as a filial son, he still comforted the Qin family with gentle words: "Mother doesn't have to worry, although my sister has been out of the cabinet in a hurry, my son and Jing'er will definitely go all out and will not wronged my sister." ”

Seeing that the Qin family still had a melancholy face, Wu Jian continued: "What's more, the prince of Jiannan is dignified, has outstanding character, is both civil and military, and is also quite prestigious in the officialdom of Yingcheng, and his sister is a talented woman, a match made in heaven, my mother still don't mind those red tape, my sister's happiness matters." ”

Hearing his son say this, Qin's face really became a little soothed, but he still refused to let go: "Liangzhou and Dazhou are thousands of miles apart, how did you know that the prince of Jiannan is dignified?" Could it be that you have clairvoyance and ears? ”

With such a mother-in-law, Wu Jian couldn't cry or laugh, "Two years ago, my son went to Yingcheng to do business, just in time for Prime Minister Yi's birthday banquet, and the prince of Jiannan was also present, and the adults were full of praise for him, but my son saw it with his own eyes." ”

Seeing it in person is more reliable than what it has heard, the Qin family is much more comfortable, if the prince of Jiannan is not good-looking, how can he be worthy of his flower-like daughter?

"That's pretty much it. In this case, Xiang'er's dowry, let your daughter-in-law help me to buy it, and the affairs of the outer courtyard will be handled by you, and I will take a look at your sister. ”

"Yes, the son heeds his mother's command." Wu Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was not easy to coax people, let alone a woman, let alone a woman like his mother.

The courtyard of Wu Xiang, the eldest lady of Anguo Mansion, is in the center of the whole mansion, and it is an excellent location in the house not far from the Fuzhong Garden. Unlike other ladies, always planting flowers and plants in the yard, the picture is purple and red, fresh and lively, Miss Wu's yard only sees trees and various colors of rocks, so it looks particularly empty, very different.

At this time, Wu Xiang was reading a book under the corridor, and the two little girls stood quietly on both sides, and the whole courtyard was silent, only the rustle of paper rubbing when turning the book was heard.

Qin walked into the courtyard and saw that his daughter was reading again, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, "Ouch, my little ancestor, why are you reading these books again?" The last time Mama Zhang taught you to embroider the screen, how many days have passed, and you have only walked a few stitches. The daughter's family only knows how to read books all day long, and the female red doesn't know how to be a little bit of heart, how can the in-laws like it in the future, let the mother say that you are good? ”

"Mother, I'm just flipping through it, don't be angry, my daughter won't dare anymore." Wu Xiang let his mother snatch the book from his hand and said gently.

In the face of her daughter's coquettishness, the Qin family has always been defenseless, she looked down at the seal on the book, and pretended to be angry and said, "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, why do you always look at these books in your brother's study?" Just watch, you can also watch "Women's Training" and "Women's Ring" like your sister-in-law. ”

"Yes, yes, mother, my daughter understands, and I will go to my sister-in-law's room to ask for a book another day." Wu Xiang is still so docile and smiling brightly.

The Qin family completely died down, sighed and took his daughter's hand, and said distressedly, "Right now, you just want to read these books, I'm afraid you don't have time to read them, Xiang'er, the king of Jiannan sent a letter, and the wedding date between the prince of Jiannan and you was set on June 22, your father, he has agreed." ”

The more Qin Shi spoke, the more sad he became, and infinite obscurity surged in his heart, "You are always lazy and don't want to touch those female celebrities, but since ancient times, when your daughter's family went out of the pavilion, she embroidered the wedding dress by herself, Xiang'er, you have to hurry up and prepare the wedding dress, and the rest, my mother and your brother and sister-in-law will help you prepare ......." She choked up a little and couldn't go on.

"Mother still has to discuss some things with your sister-in-law, go first, hurry up and embroider your wedding dress, time is running out." Little Reiko, remember to remind Miss from time to time. ”

The maid named Xiao Lingzi blessed the Qin family: "Yes, I will follow Madame's orders." ”

Qin Shi pinched a corner of the handkerchief, wiped his tears and left.

Watching the Qin family go away, thinking of Shicai's mother's sad appearance, Wu Xiang knew that she was reluctant to herself, but in fact, for her, why did she ever want to leave this warm home? But since she was a child, she knew that she had a marriage contract with the prince of Jiannan, and it had been fifteen years, and she still came.

Silently walked into the room, opened the innermost big red lacquer cabinet, she took out the wedding dress that had been embroidered intermittently for the past two years but had not yet been completed, the festive color, dazzling and dazzling, how many boudoir daughters began to embroider and embroider with stitches and threads since they were young, and embroidered until a few days before the wedding, just to wear it once on the most important day in their lives.

Seventeen-year-old Wu Xiang stroked the dense gold thread with his slender fingers, Xiao Lingting, I, Wu Xiang, put on a wedding dress for you, marry thousands of miles away, what kind of person are you?
