Chapter Two Hundred and Seven: Choosing a Concubine
A million taels of gold!
Xiliang City, as the richest city in the Dalie Frontier, has a tax revenue of only a few hundred thousand taels of silver a year.
Ran Zongyan just came to visit, so he was so generous. If you really choose which lady from the academy, then you still have the dowry?
Although the people of the Wang family have a basic concept of the wealth of the Ran family, no one knows how much silver they actually have in their hands.
After all, the annual output of those gold mines is only known to Ran Zongyan himself.
"Yan'er is much more generous than his father."
Cheng, Wang Fengyi's concubine, muttered softly. was heard by Wang Fengyi in front, he turned his head sideways and glared at Cheng fiercely.
Cheng hurriedly bowed his head and said no more. On this occasion, no matter how favored she is and causes an accident, no one can protect her.
And in a room next to the hall, Ran Zongyan's gift list arrived in the hands of the young ladies waiting here. Everyone silently circulated to each other, Rao is group of ladies of the Wang family who have seen the world, and their eyes are still shocked.
"Yan'er, since you're here, let's meet your sisters and sisters who are not successful."
"Okay, there's a great-grandmother."
"Hurry up, Miss watch your step."
"Be careful."
"Hey, hey, slow down."
The next room suddenly exploded, although there were already sufficient preparations, but it couldn't stand the crowd.
There are more than a dozen young ladies, each of whom is accompanied by a grandmother and two maids.
Forty or fifty people were crammed into the house, and no matter how large the room was, it would inevitably look crowded.
Wang Yijia, who was about to lift her feet and walk out, was pulled hard, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the maid next to her was light-eyed and quick-eyed, and firmly supported her. Otherwise, this fall will destroy all the clothes on his body.
"You go behind!"
Qingling was not convinced: "Fifth Miss, our young lady is ......"
"But what? Today, they are ranked according to their age, not according to their status. ”
Fifth Miss Wang Menghuan swept past Wang Yijia proudly and walked in front of her.
Although she is ranked fifth, she is indeed the oldest of the dozen or so here. The four young ladies and the third young ladies in front of her have already married out of the house.
Wang Yijia stood aside silently, and could only watch her sisters walk out in front of her.
In the past, even if they were older than her, they would take the initiative to greet her with a smile on their faces when they saw her. But today is different, they are no longer sisters on the surface, they are rivals.
Wang Menghuan is right, today, there is no status. There is no distinction between descendants and descendants, only by age.
When the well-dressed ladies stood in the hall, even the air became sweet.
"I've seen the prince......
All kinds of sweet, crisp sounds come together, and they are even more beautiful than natural sounds.
"No courtesy."
Although the cool and rich voice sounded, the bodies of the young ladies of the Wang family, who had been lowering their heads, were slightly shocked.
The sound alone is unbearable, so what if you really look up?
When everyone saluted and raised their heads to look at Ran Zongyan who was on the throne, almost everyone's expressions were the same shocked and incredulous.
There are a lot of rumors about their relatives, but for these women, the most important thing is not his appearance and character. After all, it is their duty to carry on the lineage, and there is no other use for them.
Anyway, you have to get married, so it's better to marry a dragon and phoenix than to marry a faceless person, right?
When I saw him today, I didn't expect him to be as handsome and extraordinary as the rumors said. Far better than all the men in the world, anyone standing beside him is the contrast between fluorescence and the bright moon. Rongsheng, temperament is more prosperous.
People can only look up, dare not compare.
A man as handsome as himself, and a combination of power and wealth in the world, it is no wonder that his eyes are above the top. It is also a matter of course to let the beauties of the world cling to their hearts.
He is absolutely qualified to sit on a beautiful woman and enjoy all the blessings.
However, due to the particularity of the Ran family, they had to be forced to marry only one person and be loyal to only one.
Whether it's voluntary or not, for women, it's really hard to come by.
Imagine that there is only one hostess in the entire mansion. There is no side room, no concubine room, and no disturbance from the warbler Yanyan, how comfortable should it be?
Although this happy situation will not last a lifetime, it still can't stop the young ladies of the Wang family from going forward and succeeding.
Wang Xiawan stood beside Old Lady Wang, Ruan, and the moment Ran Zongyan walked in, she couldn't take her eyes off his body anymore.
It's a pity that his eyes were all on Ruan's body, and he didn't notice her on the side.
Also, the clothes on her body, not to mention compared with these well-dressed ladies. Even the maids around them are more colorful and eye-catching than her.
Ran Zongyan's deep gaze swept over each beauty's body, and there was no expression on his face.
The ladies of each courtyard, after saluting, were supported by the maids and sat in their own places.
For the first time, they sat side by side with their father.
You know, this kind of thing would never have happened before. Even if the former regent came to choose a concubine, it was never arranged in this way.
These young ladies are really pitiful.
I got up in the middle of the night to get dressed up, let alone breakfast, and until now, I haven't even drunk a sip of water.
Obviously, he was already exhausted, and he had to cheer up, his back was straight, and he sat upright.
"Does Yan'er have something to see?"
Ruan Shi looked at Ran Zongyan with a kind face, in fact, she was really 10,000 satisfied with her great-grandson, and she couldn't wait to marry all the girls in the family to him together.
Ran Zongyan took a shallow sip of hot tea and gently placed the teacup on the table: "Maternal great-grandmother, why isn't Cousin Wan'er selected?" ”
Suddenly hearing her name, Wang Xiawan was shocked, and looked at Ran Zongyan incredulously.
The expressions of everyone below changed, and Ruan Shi was also stunned, then reacted and hurriedly explained: "Yan'er, Wan'er is the daughter of this generation, so naturally she is not selected for this candidate." ”
"Oh? This rule is naturally known to the king. ”
"It's just my maternal great-grandmother, the king's illness has been cured. The Ran family has always withered, and it is time to spread the branches for the Ran family. ”
It was really a sentence that stirred up thousands of waves, and the expressions on the faces of the people of the Wang family were wonderful.
"What do you mean?"
Nguyen asked everyone's doubts and asked the key points.
"Now that the king's illness has been cured, the previous rules should be changed."
"The palace no longer needs people to take care of it, and this king believes that the princess of this king will definitely manage everything for this king. Whether it is the palace of the capital or the mansion of this Xiliang City. ”
The expression of the Wang family on the next side changed, and no one needs to take care of it? So where does she go from here?
What's more, the rules that have been formed over the past few hundred years are now changing, how can it be so easy?
"Moreover, since this king has decided to strengthen the bloodline of the Ran family. So this time I won't just choose one main concubine, but also choose the side concubine. ”
A series of bomb-like declarations caught everyone in the Wang family off guard.
Next to the door, a small guy looked abnormal, and hurriedly ran towards the backyard......
