Chapter 17: The Decree of Marriage
Before Chen's words were finished, he was interrupted by a sneer from Xu on the side.
Looking at the chill on Xu's face, Chen glanced at Xu with disdain in his heart, and then said coldly:
"What? Xu, could it be that Mrs. Ben just said, is there something wrong? ”
Hearing what Chen said, Xu only laughed lightly, and then glanced at Luo Hongzhen, who was sitting on the side, and said coquettishly:
"Mrs. Chen laughed, if the concubine didn't hear it wrong, just now Xiangye said that the second lady is the Miss of the Xiangfu, which is not wrong at all, but at this time, Sister Chen, you also pulled out the eldest lady, but you didn't mention the third miss and the fourth miss, Sister Chen did this, isn't it a little inappropriate?"
After Xu finished speaking, he took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then stared at Chen with a smile on his face.
"Sister Xu is right, in addition to the second lady in this house, whether it is the eldest lady or the third lady, or the fourth miss, these are all concubines in the house, although the eldest lady was born first, but the concubine is a concubine, it is absolutely impossible for her to really become a concubine because she was born so early, right?"
The words of the Xu family and the Bai family made the Chen family almost angry to death, she has been in charge of the prime minister's mansion for so many years, although in the past, the Xu family and the Bai family did not deal with themselves very much, but they have never treated her like this, but today it is ......
At the beginning, she thought about finding a way to get rid of these two women, but she really didn't have the courage to get rid of these two people.
This Xu family is the second daughter of the Xu family, the second largest chaebol in Linjiang City, and that is the money bag of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, so she will not be so stupid and offend her own God of Wealth.
And this Bai family's maiden family, although it is not as rich as Xu's mother's family, but it is not easy to provoke, just because there is an elder brother in the Bai family who is a celebrity next to the emperor, and he is also an imperial history, and he takes great care of this sister.
Even if she is the wife of the prime minister's mansion, she can't directly get rid of these two people, this Chen is not a complete fool, if she is too early to get rid of these two people, I am afraid that her good life has come to an end.
But when they thought that their daughter was already a concubine, and now these two people were holding on to it, and they had to say that their daughter was a concubine, which made Chen a little angry.
Looking at Xu and Bai coldly, Chen wanted to drive these two people out of the Prime Minister's Mansion more than once in her heart, but although she had this heart, she didn't have the courage at all.
"Mrs. Chen, it doesn't seem that there is anything wrong with what Aunt Xu said to Aunt Bai just now, what are you doing looking at them with such hateful eyes? Everyone is a family, Daddy has so many things to deal with every day, and now he has to be involved in the affairs of this back house woman, even if Daddy has great ability, it is also a lack of skills, as your father's wife, shouldn't you solve problems for your father? ”
Luo Shiqing's words are not ruthless, and she directly put a popular voice on Chen's head, if she Chen can still take care of her reputation a little, she naturally won't dare to continue to mess around.
Luo Hongzhen, who was on the side, listened to the words of his daughter, touched his beard, and then said in a deep voice:
"Enough, what Qing'er said is right, Chen, since you are already the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, then you should study the Wang family well, if you don't want to be this lady, then forget it, with the identity of the prime minister, it is still very easy to marry a continuation."
After hearing Luo Hongzhen's words, Chen's whole face instantly lost its blood, and she looked at Luo Hongzhen in a daze, she really didn't expect that such words would come from the mouth of the man in front of her.
She has been serving this man conscientiously all these years, although she has become his wife, but this identity has not been recognized by those wealthy families in the capital at all, and they only recognize the deceased Wang family.
"Master, the concubine body knows, and the concubine body will definitely manage the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, and it will definitely not add trouble to you, master."
Seeing that Chen said this, Luo Hongzhen only nodded lightly and did not say anything more.
After a while, Luo Xiyu and Luo Siyu also ran over, and after saluting Luo Hongzhen, they ran to Luo Shiqing's side, and then chuckled:
"Second sister, you are really beautiful today, tsk, I have begun to envy our future brother-in-law who I have never met......"
"Second sister, how about what you said yesterday about teaching us the rules? The third sister and I can't wait. ”
Listening to the words of these two little girls, Luo Shiqing lowered her eyebrows and chuckled:
"Okay, I've already arranged all the good things I said yesterday, after today's things are over, the two of you can come over every day, and Granny Wang should also agree to come down, and it's up to you how much you can learn at that time."
Luo Shiqing's attitude made Luo Xiyu and Luo Siyu a little excited, and they all pestered Luo Shiqing one by one, if it weren't for Luo Shiqing's body now that she was better, I am afraid that she would be dizzy by these two little girls.
Looking at the happy appearance of his daughters, Luo Hongzhen is naturally very pleased, even if he doesn't like these daughters, but no matter what, this is his own flesh and blood, isn't it?
"You two also sit down, see what you two have already ground up your second sister at this time, sit down quickly, and wait for other things to talk about after today's affairs are over."
It wasn't until Luo Xiyu and Luo Siyu both sat down that Luo Shiqing felt that her head was finally a little lighter.
Because I knew that the holy decree would come today, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion had already been prepared, and all the incense cases and the like had already been prepared, just waiting for the person who read the holy decree to arrive.
After waiting for a long time, Luo Hongzhen still didn't see Luo Tianxue coming, seeing that the person sent by the emperor was about to come over, she still didn't come over at this time, what did she want to do? If the emperor doesn't pursue it, then that's it, but if the emperor wants to pursue it, wouldn't it ruin his future?
Luo Hongzhen himself didn't know that although his daughter was enjoying the treatment of a concubine in the prime minister's mansion, how many people in the entire capital really regarded her as a concubine?
If she doesn't cherish herself well, if she lets the emperor know about today's events, then she may not be able to marry in the future, let alone what made her marry into the palace of the great prince and become a side concubine.
After looking at it for a while, Luo Hongzhen directly calmed down and asked in a cold voice:
"Come on, go and see what the eldest lady is doing, let her come to the front hall quickly, if she refuses to come, then tell her that this is the meaning of the true appearance, if she doesn't come, then from today until she leaves the pavilion, she will always stay in her own courtyard."
Hearing Luo Hongzhen say this, the people in the house naturally didn't dare to delay a little, none of them dared to make the prime minister angry, although they rarely saw the prime minister angry, but after the prime minister got angry, no one could withstand the prime minister's anger.
In less than a stick of incense, Luo Tianxue smiled and walked in slowly with a bewitching posture, Luo Hongzhen didn't say anything about this, but it made Luo Shiqing's face a little ugly.
At this time, how do she think that this Luo Tianxue is no different from those women who came out of the Qinglou Chu Courtyard, she is also the eldest lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now this dignity, if it is seen by outsiders, I am afraid that it will really be misunderstood.
For a while, the entire hall fell into silence, whether it was Luo Hongzhen, Chen, or Luo Shiqing, no one said a word, just looked at each other, not to mention how weird the atmosphere was.
After waiting for a while, a subordinate suddenly ran in from outside.
"Back to the master, someone is in the palace, and I have already entered the front door at this time......"
After getting the news, Luo Hongzhen smiled and took all the Chen family out.
Seeing the person from the palace who read the holy decree, Luo Shiqing was a little dumbfounded, she thought that the person from this palace should at least be a tall person, no matter how bad it was, it should also be a gray-haired old man, but at this time, she didn't expect it to be a young and handsome man.
If this person is just young and handsome, then that's it, but although that person's face is handsome enough, it is more of that kind of feminine beauty, especially those eyes, which look even more evil, which makes Luo Shiqing panic.
Seeing that person, Luo Hongzhen hurriedly smiled:
"How can I get Grandpa Jiang to come in person? This is a far away, father-in-law, please come in......"
Looking at Luo Hongzhen's virtue, Luo Shiqing's whole person was powerless to complain, although she didn't know how big a person this person was, but he was also the prime minister of a country, okay, if he was like this, if he let those people below know, then his prestige could still exist?
After walking a few steps, after arriving at the front hall, Luo Hongzhen hurriedly asked his subordinates to serve tea, and after drinking two sips at will, the Jiang father-in-law looked at Luo Hongzhen and chuckled:
"The prime minister should know what our family is doing here today, since this is the case, then it is important for us to do the right thing first, as for other things, let's wait for a while to finish the business, right?"
Seeing this person say this, Luo Hongzhen naturally nodded and agreed with his face.
After letting people set up the incense case, the Gonggong Jiang motioned to the little eunuch behind him to bring the tray over, and then took the holy decree.
As the Gonggong Jiang took the holy decree in his hand, and then the sentence "everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion received the decree", Luo Hongzhen took the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion to kneel down.
Even if Luo Shiqing has a lot of reluctance in her heart, it is not good to do those unreasonable things at this time, this is a big crime to lose her head, she finally escaped death, how can she be stupid again at this time? At least not at this time, will you be stupid?
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: I heard that Luo Shiqing, the daughter of Prime Minister Luo Hongzhen, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance, and I am very happy to hear it. Now the ninth son of the emperor is weak, and when he is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman to match. In order to become a beautiful woman, you will be specially matched with the ninth son of the emperor as the princess. All etiquette will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed on a good day. The proclamation is at home and abroad, and the salty envoy hears it. Chin this ......"
Listening to the unique voice of this father-in-law Jiang with a hint of masculinity, Luo Shiqing felt that she was about to collapse, this so-called marriage decree, she still didn't understand what it meant after listening to it for a long time, and looked at Luo Hongzhen and which Jiang father-in-law in a daze, she didn't make any movement for a long time, and it looked like she was stunned.
