With this concern, when Sizhen and Sun Yanling went in to serve tea, when Lin saw that Sizhen actually asked the maid to take the futon and was about to kneel down to give tea to the old lady and himself, he hurriedly got up and supported her: "I can't help it, I can't help it, the princess is a daughter, where can I dare to accept such a gift, wouldn't it be a torture for us." ”

Lin deliberately held himself, Sizhen naturally wanted to give her mother-in-law face, and thanked Lin with a smile of joy: "Mother-in-law has a heart, but daughter-in-law does not dare to be, since I married to the Sun family, I am the daughter-in-law of the Sun family. ”

When she said this, the Lin family was happy in their hearts, and they refused to snub this princess daughter-in-law, blocking back and forth, and finally according to Sun Yanling's words, Sizhen gave the elders a blessing and saluted the finished business.

Sizhen and Sun Yanling greeted him in a proper manner, served tea, gave table gifts, and received red envelopes.

The others, needless to say, were decent, drank tea, received Sizhen's filial piety, and then gave Sizhen a greeting gift.

The old lady got a white jade bodhisattva, and Lin got a set of earrings with a sapphire head and cat ears. The old lady gave Sizhen the title deed of a small grange, which was about the same as the income of the Jin family when he entered the door, and the Lin family directly gave two shops and a grange, which was much better than when the Jin family only got one shop when they entered the door.

Sizhen knew that Sun Yanling's father and son had made many military exploits, and the family was quite wealthy, but like her mother-in-law, she was so generous, she was afraid that she would have little left, so she politely excused herself: "How can my daughter-in-law afford such a heavy meeting gift." The mother-in-law's kindness and daughter-in-law got it, so I took this, another shop and a grange. Please keep it for yourself! ”

She picked up the deed to a less profitable shop and took it.

Seeing that she knew the proportions, Lin smiled and said: "I only gave birth to such a son as Erlang, and my dowry will be left to you sooner or later, now it's just to give you some in advance, I know that the princess you have the silver of the imperial court, and the Zhuangzi shop that the Empress Dowager gave them, there is no shortage of these, just this is my heart, you can put it away quickly." ”

Sizhen thought that he would be filial to his wife from other places in the future, so he thanked him generously.

Jin smiled steadily, in her heart, she understood the identity of Sizhen, and she was married to a concubine, and no matter how she felt that her mother-in-law was partial, she could only be secretly sad.

Among the peers, there is no need to serve tea, just make a formal salute, the four chastity have already been prepared, the girls are either gold and jade bracelets or gem heads, and the men are either the four treasures of the study or the sword and knife.

Because the things sent by Sizhen are all gold, silver and jade, and they are full of sincerity, so everyone is happy.

Only the old lady said more to Sizhen: "Although you married into the Sun family and are the daughter-in-law of our Sun family, you are a princess, and those ordinary rules are not easy for me, a grandmother, to restrain you, the most important thing in front of you is that you get pregnant as soon as possible and give birth to an heir for Erlang......"

Just newlywed, she was urged to get pregnant and give birth to a child, Sizhen's eyes couldn't help but widen, she felt too surprised, and quickly lowered her head again, and responded with some embarrassment: "What grandmother said is that granddaughter-in-law remembers grandmother's teachings." ”

After the tea, Sizhen went to the ancestral hall of the Sun family's ancestral house with Sun Yanling, and after worshipping the ancestors and burning incense and kowtowing, she officially became the wife of the Sun family.

At the family banquet at noon, the daughter-in-law of ordinary people has to wait for her mother-in-law to eat, but the princess of the royal family, even the forehead concubine has no reason to eat at the same table with her, so Sizhen just went through the motions and went back to her own courtyard to eat.

Sun Yanling followed, and Mama Du wanted to block it, but Sizhen said lightly: "Although according to the rules, Master Ebu should not accompany me to eat, but I have eaten alone for so many years, and I have long been tired of it, so please be more considerate." ”

After all, she is not Sizhen's nursing mother, and Mama Du knows that Sizhen's princess is not as soft as others, and she can be manipulated by others, so she smiled at the moment: "Her Royal Highness the princess has spoken, where do the slaves and maids dare to block it, only for a few days, after returning to Ning, it will not be, otherwise the queen mother and the queen mother will ask about it, and the slave and maid will not be able to explain." ”

"Don't worry, the queen mother and the two royal sisters-in-law, I will go and say it, so as not to embarrass my grandmother." Sizhen said, holding Sun Yanling's outstretched hand, and said with a sweet smile: "Let's go, Master E, let's eat." ”

**

Royal rules, the princess married, nine days later back to the palace to return to the Ning ceremony, the princess with the forehead into the palace to meet the queen mother, the queen mother and the emperor and others, in turn to thank the gift, but also a large feast, lively.

The first one to go was naturally the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, and the one who led them into the main hall was another proud person beside the Empress Dowager, Tang Jianwen, the chief manager.

Tang Jianwen was born white and fat, and he laughed like Maitreya Buddha.

As soon as he saw them, Tang Jianwen smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to Princess Sizhen and the princess for tying the knot, the flowers are blooming together, and the slave wishes the princess and the princess a good union for a hundred years!" ”

Sun Yanling smiled happily, and a silver ticket that had been prepared a long time ago slipped into Tang Jianwen's hand without a trace: "Chengda General Manager Jiyan." ”

Obviously just a general manager, he added the word "big", Tang Jianwen was full of joy when he heard it, he bent down slightly, and smiled respectfully: "Auspicious, the Empress Dowager has just gotten up, yesterday the Empress Dowager of the two palaces came to ask for peace, and talked for a while, the Empress Dowager rested late, and only got up not long ago, at this time, I am waiting for you and the princess." ”

Sizhen was dizzy when she heard it, when will Sun Yanling even be able to speak to Manager Tang here?

The Empress Dowager has a calm and resolute personality, is resolute in dealing with things, will win over people, will be considerate, is well versed in the rules of survival in the harem, and treats her subordinates with leniency and strictness.

Such a person, although he is a eunuch, is a few points that even the concubines and princes have to value, and now he took the initiative to tell Sun Yanling about the dynamics of the Empress Dowager, which is too surprising.

Sizhen looked at Sun Yanling and Tang Jianwen, who were talking, and saw one smiling and looking amiable, but vaguely condescending as a master, while the other was like treating other masters in the palace, smiling humbly and flatteringly.

Tang Jianwen saw Sizhen's thoughtful appearance, congratulated her with a smile, and then reminded in a low voice: "Princess Sizhen, this Mingyue Gege has also entered the palace, originally, according to the meaning of the Empress Dowager, she is your trial marriage Gege, and you should have given the title, but Concubine Duanshun said that she was pitiful, saying that she was also the daughter of the Fuguo Mansion, and was sent into the palace by her mother to be a show girl...... The Empress Dowager said that she would wait until you came. ”

Sizhen's brain was "buzzing", and suddenly she only felt that her eyes were full of stars, and her legs and feet were numb, and later, she could only vaguely see Tang Jianwen's mouth open and closed, and his smile was dazzling, but she couldn't hear what she was saying.

When Jianning got married, she knew that there was a rule in the royal family, after selecting the princess and determining the marriage date, the queen mother or the queen should personally select a clever and capable palace maid to act as a "trial marriage", along with the princess's dowry, go to the Efu Mansion first, and try to marry in the same bed with the Eyu, early the next morning, this "trial marriage" sent a special person back to the palace to report in detail to the queen mother or the queen whether the forehead has physical defects, whether the character is gentle, etc. Once the trial marriage is qualified, after the princess officially marries, this "trial marriage Gege" will stay with the forehead or be a concubine or maid.

Originally, she and Sun Yanling had agreed that they would give them some silver for the "trial marriage", buy a small courtyard and send it out, and marry someone else, so that people would have to stay.

Whether it is the meaning of the concubine or the queen mother's desire to keep eyes and ears by their side, it is really difficult to say.

Just like the concubine back then, it was also a sentence from the concubine Duanshun, saying that the Shunzhi Lord liked the women of the Dong E family, and the imperial concubine went early, and the concubine was the most holy among the remaining people, so it was better to let her accompany her, so as to extinguish the courtiers' anger at the untimely death of the Empress Dowager to Dong E's family, so the Empress Dowager agreed, and let the concubine be restored to the throne as the concubine, and a white silk ended the Fantasia and was martyred for the first emperor......

Now that I think about it, what Concubine Duanshun would say, I am afraid that it is because the Empress Dowager resents that Lord Shunzhi was too sad because of the death of the imperial concubine, and she damaged her body so that she was infected with the pox epidemic, so she was angry with the woman of Dong E's family.

And now, arranging a concubine from the Guogong Mansion to give her a "trial marriage" is to stay by her side justifiably today, and monitor her and Sun Yanling as a concubine.

The Empress Dowager is afraid that their husband and wife will be of the same heart and take the Dingfan back into their hands, otherwise, how could she be married now, and not mention the matter of letting them return to the Dingfan?

Sizhen sighed lightly, mechanically held Sun Yanling's outstretched hand, and smiled laboriously: "Thank you for the reminder, otherwise, I would still be in the dark!" ”

Tang Jianwen couldn't see anything on his white and ruddy face, but just smiled vigorously: "The slave is just idle two words, the princess don't say these words of thanks, torture the slave." ”

He took a step forward and whispered to Sun Yanling: "The key is that Mingyue Gege came in today, and it was invited by Concubine Duanshun. ”

After speaking, he did not say much more, but walked forward and led them to the main hall.

Sizhen pinched Sun Yanling's hand, and the roots of her teeth were numb with hatred: "Why didn't you tell me this?" If it weren't for the fact that the Tang Grand Manager mentioned it today, I would still be like a fool, telling people to see jokes. ”

Sun Yanling glanced at her strangely: "What is there to say about this?" ”

He realized in a blink of an eye, stroked Sizhen's hand with his backhand, and chuckled: "Zhenzhen, are you jealous?" ”
