Chapter 26: The Merchant Girl Who Rivals the Riches of the Country 17
When the ninth son of the emperor of the dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin wanted to accept Qi Yuxiu, the second lady of the Qi family, as a concubine, which spread all over Yangzhou City for a while.
Qi Yuxiu, a big pie that fell from the sky, was ecstatic.
Although the noble concubine is a concubine, she is also a royal concubine, the kind that is famous and famous. What's more, King Qin is a person who Qi Yuxiu has been infatuated with for two lifetimes, in the previous life, Qi Yuxiu was looking for death and life to marry King Qin, and Master Qi almost lost his face for this old face, and almost lost his late childhood, and used all means to force his eldest daughter Qi Yuling to operate privately, and promised a huge dowry, Qi Yuxiu was able to enter the backyard of the palace, but the title he got was only a good concubine.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty stipulates that the title of prince shall be set up with one concubine and four noble concubines on both sides, and good concubines and girls in the room will not be counted. The difference between a noble concubine and a good concubine is very different. The noble concubine is a concubine who can go to the Jade Butterfly, and she also has the qualifications to raise children. And the good concubine is just a nice thing to say, in fact, the sale is a matter of the princess's words, and private property is not allowed. In her previous life, Qi Yuxiu brought so much dowry, and after the scenery entered the backyard of the palace, all the dowry was handed over to the princess.
said that he was in charge, but in fact it was given to the princess and the palace.
According to the regulations of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a woman's dowry, even if it is a concubine, belongs to her private property, and the main family and her in-laws have no right to interfere. But the concubines of the palace are more special, and Qi Yuxiu's entry into the palace is a small deal reached privately between the Qi family and the King of Qin. The dowry that Qi Yuxiu brought was the price given by the Qi family after she got what she wanted and entered the palace.
After Qi Yuxiu was reborn, he was so Qi Yuling, and there was no shortage of this reason.
The Qi family is obviously rich enough to rival the country, and she also has one-third of the Qi family's wealth according to the rules of the Qi family.
If Qi Yuling didn't have something that belonged to her, she would marry into the palace with so much property, at least she would have a concubine. also has his own private property, so he won't be just a good concubine, living a trembling life, and even having to drug King Qin to get pregnant with her son, although he was kicked out by King Qin in the end.
Qi Yuxiu hated Qi Yuling so much, her fate was so miserable, but Qi Yuling took the money that belonged to her to pave the way for her vulgar and barbaric sister to become the eldest concubine.
If she marries into the palace with the wealth of the Qi family and helps King Qin achieve great things, King Qin will definitely be impressed by her and pampered her. Instead of living like a lost dog.
Therefore, for this great news, Qi Yuxiu was as ecstatic and excited as Jia.
Qi Yuxiu thought extremely excitedly, God really favored her, she not only got the opportunity to be reborn, but also won the favor of King Qin in this life.
Qi Yuxiu remembered King Qin's handsome and cold face, and trembled with excitement.
Finally, I was able to marry him.
The fact that Qi Yuxiu was going to become the concubine of King Qin spread all over Yangzhou in the shortest possible time, and the nobles in Yangzhou didn't know whether to envy or disdain.
It is true that King Qin was born well, and he is a nobleman, and he can easily attract people's hearts. But the noble girl who grew up in Yangzhou, even if the family is pedantic and conservative and not enlightened, is influenced by the environment and other nobles, and her open-mindedness is not extraordinary.
Because there are not a few noble girls who like King Qin and want to hook up with him, but if they enter the backyard of the palace and guard a man and a group of women for the love of a man all their lives, they absolutely disdain it.
You can live a life of wanton joy, why should you be so wronged and humble yourself?
Pingxuan Houfu.
When the news of King Qin's desire to accept Qi Yuxiu as a noble concubine reached the Pingxuanhou Mansion, the old Pingxuanhou touched his beard and groaned, and then stopped talking.
However, the second son of Ping Xuanhou said a few words to the third son, "Our nephew, King Qin, is ambitious. The Qi family is also brave enough to dare to get on the ship of King Qin. Although his father ordered him not to participate in the affairs of King Qin, at the moment, he can make friends with the Qi family, and show loyalty to King Qin through the Qi family. It can't hurt the bones. ”
After thinking for a moment, Ping Xuanhou said to the second son: "Since this is the case, it is good to sell the Qi family, and the Qi family is still responsible for the military supplies in the military camp this year." ”
The young ladies of Xuanping Houfu have a much simpler idea.
Whether King Qin is because he likes Qi Yuxiu and is greedy for beauty, or because he is rich and wealthy, it is not a good match. The former is King Qin's bad eyes, and the latter, King Qin's ambitions are not small. Such a man is not easy to control, and he will accidentally play with fire and set himself on fire. Therefore, the nobles who liked to entangle King Qin almost disappeared for a while.
Qi family, Chunqi Hall.
Old Madam Qi trembled with anger, almost couldn't even speak, and smashed a cup on the ground.
"Shame, shame!" Old Madam Qi's lips trembled, "It's really a shame for the Qi family!" The daughter of the Qi family has no concubine! ”
Qi Yuxiu turned a deaf ear to the old lady Qi's reprimand, and looked down at the skirt on her body with a frown.
Just avoided the cup that smashed to the ground, but the skirt still couldn't avoid taking up some tea, and the dress made of an inch of gold and an inch of moon gauze brocade was sticky with a little stain, which made Qi Yuxiu extremely distressed.
Now this old woman is still useful, so bear with me for the time being.
Qi Yuxiu suppressed her displeasure, raised her head and said with a smile: "Grandmother, Xiu'er is not an ordinary concubine, but a royal concubine who has a jade butterfly on the eight classics of the royal Zheng'er, and the concubine of King Qin, who is called a lady, has a seven-grade level." ”
is much more noble than marrying a merchant and being a main house, not to mention that Qin Wang was so handsome, she also has to help Qin Wang ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and she will be the most noble woman in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the future.
Qi Yuxiu's heart fluttered when he thought about it.
Old Madam Qi is old and refined, how could she not see Qi Yuxiu's small actions clearly, and then thinking of the love she has shown to her in recent days, Old Madam Qi feels uncomfortable.
Old Madam Qi was so angry that her chest rose and fell: "No matter how nice it sounds, she is also a concubine!" Is the royal concubine so good to do? It's not good to let go of good relatives, and you are willing to be a concubine! ”
"What kind of good family, the lowly businessman you found for me? Grandmother, Xiu'er, as the granddaughter of Confucianism, vowed not to marry a businessman after the official eunuch. ”
Old Madam Qi was suddenly so angry that she couldn't speak.
Qi Yuxiu was aggrieved and resentful: "Grandmother, you also have a limit to your partiality, right?" I'm also your granddaughter, can't I find a good family for myself? "In your previous life, you agreed to let Qi Yuning, that little slut, take most of the Qi family's property as a dowry.
When Qi Yuxiu said this, Mrs. Qi's eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
Old Madam Qi roared angrily: "Get out, you get out!" The Qi family doesn't have a daughter like you! ”
Qi Yuxiu snorted coldly and waved away directly.
She still doesn't want to have this kind of eccentric, mean and unkind grandmother, does she want to be the daughter of the Qi family? Not at all. If she could choose her background, she would definitely choose a noble girl instead of a lowly merchant girl.
Aunt Wang hurriedly supported the crumbling and unstable old lady Qi, and pressed her several acupuncture points for a long time before she recovered.
Aunt Wang said: "Old lady, the second lady grew up with the Jia family since she was a child, and she was ten percent similar to her by the Jia family, this kind of person is a white-eyed wolf, don't be angry with her body." ”
Old Madam Qi saw through it, and said weakly: "She didn't just joke about her life's events, but also pulled the entire Qi family, King Qin's concubine, did she really think that King Qin had a crush on her?" She's going to harm the entire Qi family! ”
When the King of Qin sent someone to deliver the concubine documents and concubine gifts, the old lady Qi was furious and very frightened.
Knowing that King Qin fell in love with Qi Yuxiu in the peach blossom banquet, Mrs. Qi wanted to refuse by taking advantage of the existing marriage contract, but Qi Yuxiu rushed out in a hurry, took the document without saying a word, and said to the person sent by King Qin: I am grateful for the king's heart, and the concubine is also happy.
Old Madam Qi was stunned on the spot.
It's a pity that the wood has become a boat, and the Qi family is a merchant in the end, although it is an imperial businessman, but it still can't be compared with the emperor's son and son when he was the king of Qin. Even if it is a concubine, it is impossible to break the contract.
