Chapter 83: The County Duchess
Many things seem to be more mundane, but there is a reason for his existence.
The marriage of wealthy families is to take what they need, if King Qing can really protect himself and protect the Su family; Otherwise, because of a marriage, the Su family will decline, and she will not be happy in her heart.
Qi smiled bitterly, and said: "Ning'er will be a princess in the future, although it is very noble, but it is still necessary to have a solid maiden family to rely on, if our Su family can be as rich as the Tao family, maybe we can also share some of it for you and King Qing at that time."
Saying that, she coughed lightly with a leisurely expression:
"A-Niang heard that although King Qing has the dignity of a prince, the fief is in the north, where it is bitterly cold, and the food that is handed over in a year is not abundant. It is said that the widow also gave birth to a pair of children, and has already been crowned the county lord and the county duke. ”
Suning'er nodded again and again, and had to be deeply impressed by her mother's foresight.
The mother's family has a rich background and a prominent status, which will make a woman live a harder life in her husband's family no matter what era it is.
As the Qi family said, although King Qing has a noble status, most of the princes of this dynasty are distant fiefs and have no real power. The situation in the north is extremely complicated, and the income tax revenue in a year is probably not much richer than that of the Su family.
Thinking of the girl she met when she fell from her horse that day, she still remembers the look of resentment when she looked at herself.
I think it is the little county lord of Qingwangfu.
It is absolutely impossible to say that I don't mind at all.
As a modern person, how can I see a man having three wives and four concubines.
However, the world is like this, and she is powerless to fight.
However, in this era of dignity and order, marrying into the Qingwang Mansion as a concubine, Suninger also felt a sense of superiority.
But after all, she is just a newcomer, and she can still perceive a lot of the doorways inside, and in such a mansion, there must be some open and secret battles.
Without the support of a prominent court, it is good to have more money to have around you.
So Qi Shi told her many truths, and she began to agree with Qi Shi's thoughts from the bottom of her heart. If something really goes wrong one day, she will also choose to share the glory and disgrace with the Su family.
After deciding the matter, Qi went back to his room.
Suning'er carefully combed through what she had seen and heard in the past few days, and according to the current situation, the Su family is still safe in business.
As for Su Jing's arrangement, she has always thought that it is too risky, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no room for reversal, so she can only pray that she can get through this hurdle smoothly.
In the business field, there is no smooth sailing, if you are afraid of wolves and tigers, how can you have a bright future.
After all things, he was ready to rest for a day in peace.
Now, Wanniang is at home behind closed doors for the Cui family's father and son, and without her company, Suninger always feels that something is missing.
Although she also respects Du Hongniang's talent, a talented woman like her will not invite her into the house like Ye Lanlan, just to gather a few close friends together to talk and talk or something, and a large number of people are together to say something against their will.
What's more, Nawei Ruji and Tao Yunshu are also going to go.
She didn't like this kind of occasion the most in her life, and seeing that the sun was approaching, she began to think that this poetry meeting could be canceled in vain.
also thought like this, after arriving at the food, Li Guogong's Mansion really came, and it was for the sake of tomorrow's poetry meeting.
It's just that the servant didn't say that he wanted to cancel the poetry meeting, but only changed the date.
As for the reason in the meantime, it was because the team of the sage Beimu was killed, and the court was very angry, and the sage issued an edict to bury the Cui father and son with the rites of national funeral, and the whole country should mourn the team for three days for the Beimu Qin envoy.
Such specifications are rare in all dynasties and dynasties that Suninger knows.
It is said that the first emperor died, and the people mourned for only three days.
But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed extremely damaging to the royal court when such a thing happens.
If the dynasty she came to was the same as the Tang Dynasty she was familiar with, then this stage was only in the middle and late stages of the feudal town secession period.
The warlords of all walks of life supported their own troops, and the imperial court was very jealous.
The court did not deter such a rebellious act, but feared that the situation would become extremely bad.
There are naturally many taboos in order to mourn: the government affairs of the court are suspended, and folk entertainment, marriage, banquets, etc. are not allowed.
In this way, it is actually good, at least there is no need to rush to this poetry meeting.
......
After more than a month, the weather is approaching the thick winter, and it is extremely cold.
As an authentic southerner, Suninger is most afraid of the cold, wrapped in a thick fur coat all day long, sitting around the stove, she still feels cold everywhere.
Qin'er and Shuang'er followed her in this Tanghua courtyard for many years, and they didn't feel that this little master would be so afraid of the cold in previous years as this year.
After Zhou learned about the situation here, he sent someone over to thicken the warm curtains, and specially ordered someone to go to the West Market to find some warm carpets to spread the whole room.
More charcoal was sent than in previous years.
The whole chamber was covered with airtight air, and the fire of the stove was almost uninterrupted for almost twelve hours.
It's a lot warmer than that.
Qi Shi looked at this situation, and only felt that his daughter had some root causes left by the summer disaster, but he did not suspect it.
At the end of October, Li Wanwan finally went out and came to Sufu.
I haven't seen her for more than a month, and Suning'er misses her needless to say, and she also thought about going to the mansion to visit her, but going to Jingzhao Mansion as a guest is no better than a businessman like them, but I'm afraid that there are a lot of rules and regulations.
There are many concerns, and this idea can only be dispelled.
The two hugged each other and greeted each other affectionately, and Li Wanwan said happily: "Yiniang, the slave family is here to tell you good news today." ”
Hearing her say this, Suning'er's eyes couldn't help but bulge round, looking at her expectantly.
"Yesterday, Shiro sent a letter and poured out his thoughts, saying that after the mourning period, he would definitely welcome me."
Suning'er was very moved when she heard this, and she was happy for her in her heart.
For most of the month, although she has stayed at home, she has heard a lot about what is happening outside.
After the coffin was escorted to Kyoto, Cui Hong's father was posthumously awarded the general of the town army, and the pillar country was loyal and righteous to the founding county duke.
At present, the two eldest sons of the Cui family have died, and the person who inherits the title is naturally Cui Hong, the fourth son of the Cui family.
Su Ning'er squeezed her palm tightly, and she couldn't close her mouth with joy: "So I have to congratulate Wan Niang, he married into Cui's mansion and became a county duchess." ”
Li Wanwan opened her mouth and smiled: "What about you, Yiniang, can you negotiate with the Qingwang Mansion on the date of the levy?" ”
