Chapter 245: Marriage
For several sisters-in-law, Liu Yan feels the same.
I don't feel anything, I don't get close, and I can't say I'm bored.
The first sister-in-law is Zhu, the second sister-in-law is surnamed Ma, and the third princess once joked that the third sister-in-law would be a Niu or Yang, so how smooth it is to count all the way.
Liu Yan felt that it was a bit detrimental to say this, but she also laughed for a long time.
Of course, the third sister-in-law is not surnamed Niu or Yang, but fortunately, fortunately.
Xiao is eighteen years old this year, and he is born with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, petite and exquisite, but he is introverted and has a little less words.
Since she and the third prince got married, there have been many opportunities to enter the palace, but unlike those girls who want to come to the palace with their heads sharpened, the Xiao family does not enter the palace much, and even if they come, they are all routine greetings or festivals. Liu Yan had seen her a few times in Yilan Palace, and she always sat quietly beside her mother, never making a sound without asking her.
Seriously, Liu Yan felt that the third brother was a little unworthy of her.
Of course, Xiao Shi is a very good girl, but the third brother ...... No one in his family likes him, so he is afraid that the third sister-in-law will not be able to live with him.
Liu Fang thought the same as she thought.
According to Liu Fang, whoever marries the third prince is unlucky.
No, marrying the eldest prince and the second prince is not much better.
The original partner of the eldest prince died of poisoning, and the life of the second princess and concubine Ma was not very good, there were too many women of the second prince, and it was said that there were now more than twenty and thirty people with names and surnames around him, and I don't know how many of them are not good at the beginning.
Liu Fang approached Liu Yan and whispered, "I heard that the second prince spent money too fiercely, and he went to the household department to borrow money last time." β
"Huh?" Liu Yan hasn't spent much money, and he doesn't have much concept of money. She never knew how much money she had, and she hadn't spent it herselfβwell, when she was in the country, she took the copper plate her aunt gave her to buy maltose.
"It is said that a small garden was built, outside the city, for hunting and sightseeing on weekdays, and this amount of money is a lot."
Liu Yan nodded understandingly.
That's going to cost a lot of money! In order to save money, the emperor has not had any major repairs and reconstructions in the palace in recent years, at most it is painted and the whole roof is tiled. Didn't my father want to live in a new and beautiful palace, and didn't want to build the imperial garden into flowers?
Isn't it just a lack of money?
"Isn't it good to have money to do something on the side? What's the deal with having fun first? β
Liu Fang continued: "Xiu Beiyuan is quite good, it is a serious expense, and you can at least see where the money is spent." There is still a lot of money that he can't tell where he spent it, and now he can't make ends meet, so he has to borrow money. β
Liu Yan was a little puzzled: "Did the household department lend it to him?" β
"Nope." Liu Fang felt very happy to say it, and she didn't like the second prince - in a nutshell, among the four princes, she only thought that the fourth prince was very good, and the other three ...... Well, forget it: "The people in the household department are not stupid, what does he mean to lend him?" Besides, what if you start this and someone else borrows it? β
"Yes, you shouldn't have lent it to him." Liu Yan also felt relieved.
If there is anything serious to do, then that's fine, if you borrow money to eat, drink and have fun, no one will borrow it. Besides, if the money is lent out, what if the second prince doesn't pay it back? If others don't repay the money, the creditor has the means, and if the second prince doesn't repay the money, can he be forced to sell his property or even sell himself as a slave?
So this money must not be borrowed.
"But the household department didn't lend it to him, and he still raised money." Liu Fang said: "The Ma family has given a lot when I heard about it, and there are other people who want to tie up." Do you know? The second prince had a concubine who was a merchant girl, and the family not only sent her daughter into the house, but also gave him a large sum of money. β
"What are these people trying to do?"
What's the picture? Those people are not stupid, especially the traders, who invest in a penny, that is to earn ten or a hundred pennies back. Sending money to the second prince to his daughter must have something to ask for.
"I don't know if my father knows it, he doesn't care."
"I guess so." Liu Fang whispered: "But my father has a lot of opportunities, and he can't manage many major things, even if he knows, he doesn't have the leisure to worry about him." β
That's right.
Besides, what if you care about it? Spanking? Lock him up in the Temple of Mercy and Grace again?
It's useless.
Liu Yan shook his head.
Liu Fang gave her a gesture to silence.
The team of the three princes to welcome the relatives had returned, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the firecrackers were exploding, Gui Yuan hurriedly came over to cover her ears, but Liu Yan didn't cooperate much, and always wanted to look out.
The third prince didn't keep a straight face today, as if he was going to beat someone. He was wearing a big red suit, which was obviously made to his size, and he didn't know how to look so awkward, as if he was stealing someone else's. His face is not white, this red is also very provocative, fair-skinned people look better when they wear it, and people with black faces like the Third Prince and Lu Juma can only be lined with darker.
The three princes held the red silk, and the other end of the red ribbon was held in the bride's hand. Xiao Shi wore a big red hijab and was surrounded by the bride maids.
Liu Fang let out a long sigh.
Liu Yan didn't need to ask her why she sighed.
Because now the two sisters wanted to go together.
What a flower in the ...... That's what.
The third prince was born with five big and three thick and black, if it weren't for the fact that his facial features were quite upright, he would look like a bandit. He doesn't like to read, and he usually likes to cause trouble, so it's a pity for Xiao to marry him.
Worshipping heaven and earth lively, sent to the new house, Liu Fang pulled Liu Yan, and both of them went to see the excitement.
Although the third prince is usually bad-tempered, today is his big day, with a rare smile on his face, and he is obedient to the instructions of the happy girls, and he looks a little ashamed when he picks up his hijab.
As soon as the hijab was removed, Xiao's face was revealed in front of everyone. With a pale face and red lips, all the brides Liu Yan has seen are dressed like this, but I don't know why, Xiao Shi doesn't look a little happy, she sits there motionless, her eyes are lowered, and she looks like a dummy.
The young people inside and outside the new house laughed and cheered, praising the bride for her beauty, saying that the three princes were so blessed, what kind of talented and beautiful women, and good words such as a match made in heaven should not be thrown out like money.
The third prince smiled even more happily, looking a little silly like that, but not as fierce as usual.
Xiao lowered his head as if he hadn't heard anything.
The next excitement was the same one after another, spreading tents, singing songs of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren, and some people saw that the third prince was in a good mood today, and shouted for him to read poems to the bride.
Liu Fang whispered in Liu Yan's ear: "It seems that the third brother doesn't hate this family business, maybe his temper can be better in the future." β
