Chapter 166: The Divine Decree Has Arrived
Today is destined to be a difficult day.
The Ouyang clan dealt with the affairs of Yingyue Tower and took the carriage back to the Changning Marquis Mansion.
At that time, it was already afternoon, and she tossed for a long time without eating, and sang empty plans in her stomach.
Fortunately, Mama Xu was careful, and she had already prepared a meal to warm it, and served it as soon as Ouyang entered the house.
The fragrance made Ouyang's index finger move, and he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
After a few bites, the steward of the second gate hurriedly came to report, "Big lady, the holy decree has arrived!" The father-in-law who delivered the holy decree immediately arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion. ”
Divine decree?
Ouyang was stunned, "To whom?" ”
"Back to the eldest lady," said the steward, "it is a holy decree for the eldest lady." ”
Bookglass?
Ouyang hurriedly put down his chopsticks, went into the house to freshen up and change clothes, and then hurried to the main gate to receive the holy decree.
The eunuch who sent the holy decree had a very good attitude, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he said, "The holy decree was given to Miss Jiang of the Changning Hou Mansion." The emperor said that Miss Jiang is now studying at Lanshan College, and the holy decree will be replaced by Ouyang Shi, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion. ”
As soon as the words came out, the old marquis and the old lady glanced at each other, because after the winter hunt, the old marquis had mentioned that the queen mother had blue eyes on the book during the winter hunt, although he didn't know the content of the holy decree, but the two old men had their own guesses in their hearts, but they were calm.
"Yes."
Ouyang hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully kowtowed.
The eunuch nodded with satisfaction, held the holy decree high and began to read, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict ......"
The holy decree is very long, written in the ancient language of the Tianhao Dynasty, and the central content is to praise Jiang Shuli for her good looks, gentle and virtuous temperament, and a good girl.
She performed extremely well in the winter hunt, and she was helpful, and she was a blessed girl.
Finally, to summarize the statement, in short, Jiang Shuli is very sacred, so he is rewarded with the following items.
What followed was a long list of rewards, which took a long time to read after listening to the dizziness of the people.
After receiving the holy decree, the faces of the people in each room were different.
The second wife in the second room is not so good-looking, but now her belly is a little fuller, and she is quite pregnant.
is so lucky to Jiang Shuli, all kinds of feelings in my heart.
She pulled her daughter who was standing beside her, and signaled that she should not show her envy, jealousy and hatred so obviously.
Jiang Shuqi pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.
She has been detained to learn etiquette these days, and she didn't even go to the clan school, so her family came out to accompany her as a girl.
The third wife of the third room put congratulations and envy on her face without concealing it.
It is not a lucky thing that any girl can get the holy decree, and it falls to the Changning Hou Mansion, and the girls in their room can also be looked at when they go out in the future, which is of course a good thing.
"Father-in-law has come here," the old marquis smiled, "why don't you go inside and rest with some tea before going back?" ”
The eunuch smiled, "There is no need for tea, the slave has to go back to the palace to tell the emperor." However, can the old marquis take a step to speak? ”
The eunuch who sent the decree would not leave tea casually, and it was rare to be willing to say a few words.
The old marquis was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled the eunuch to the side and muttered.
The Ouyang clan happily arranged for Zhang Luo to register the long reward into the warehouse, and even forgot about hunger.
After the eunuch left, the old marquis and the old lady returned to Shou'an Hall.
"Old wife," the old marquis recalled the unclear meaning of the eunuch, half pondering and half scrutinizing, "What do you mean by what do you say the emperor means?" ”
The old lady smiled at the corner of her mouth, she was still thinking about the content of the holy decree, "Don't think about the holy will first, the holy decree says that our family is blessed, and I am full of joy when I hear it." ”
"This is more real than any compliment," the old lady muttered, "It is enough to prove that the emperor likes our family's calligraphy, isn't it?" ”
The old marquis nodded, "That's not bad." It's just that the father-in-law who sent the decree said that this reward is because our family Shuli helped Lord Rui build the foundation, but I can't figure this out. ”
The old lady was stunned when she heard this, and she muttered for a while before she said what she thought in her heart.
"Master, after coming back from the winter hunt, didn't you say that the Queen Mother liked Shuli very much, and let her accompany her on a hunt?"
Seeing the old marquis nodding, she continued, "At that time, do you guess whether you want our family Shuli to be the daughter-in-law of a prince, right?" ”
"Exactly."
"I didn't think so."
The old lady said, "I doubt it, is the Queen Mother our family book glass for Prince Rui to see?" ”
A word to wake up the dreamer!
The old marquis stood up suddenly, walking back and forth, and there were words in his mouth, "Lord Rui!" Why didn't I think of Lord Rui? ”
He thought about it coherently, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and stood in front of the old lady, "Old wife, Lord Rui is ten years older than our Shuli, he has successfully built the foundation, and I am afraid that he may have to enter the immortal gate again in the future." ”
"Immortal cultivators generally rarely get married, even if they are Taoist couples, it is said that they will only be looking for them after their cultivation is extremely high, do you think this is the meaning of the royal family's wishful thinking?"
The old lady also frowned when she heard this, "Lord Rui's nature is excellent, and I am satisfied with this." But if it's like what the master said, I'm not willing to let Shuli go to the immortal realm. Her spiritual root is not outstanding, and it is not easy to go to the immortal cultivation realm. ”
Suddenly I was worried.
At this moment, there was a request from Ouyang outside the door.
The two elders hurriedly let her in, it was about Jiang Shuli, and they didn't hide it, and told the information and conjectures collected by the two.
Ouyang was stunned.
Her girl was actually taken by the Queen Mother and wanted to marry her as a daughter-in-law?
With the temperament of Prince Rui, coupled with the close relationship with the emperor, this pro is quite satisfying.
It's just that it does make people worry about whether Lord Rui will return to the immortal cultivation realm.
As a result, the two worries became the relative worries of the three people.
After a long time, the old marquis patted the handrail and said, "I estimate that this matter is mostly the meaning of the royal family, if Prince Rui really has the heart to return to the immortal realm, he will definitely not agree to get married." ”
"What if he wants to marry?"
"I'm afraid I won't return to the immortal cultivation realm," the old marquis touched his beard, "This matter, the eldest daughter-in-law went back to Shuli to find out the situation." I have the opportunity to chat with Lord Rui. ”
Jiang Shuli returned home from school in the afternoon, and when he arrived at Biyun Pavilion, Ouyang was already sitting in the inner room eating refreshments.
"Mother," Jiang Shuli looked at her mother who was eating shrimp and meat wontons puzzled, "Why are you eating wontons now?" ”
"Don't say it," Ouyang had just been free, his stomach was almost hungry, and he was worried about blocking his daughter to ask about something, so he simply asked people to send refreshments to Biyun Pavilion, "Come here, my mother has something to ask you." ”
Jiang Shuli sat down obediently, "Mother, what's the matter?" ”
After eating the last wonton, Ouyang wiped the corners of his mouth, and said, "Today, the emperor has sent you a lot of rewards, you tell your mother, what good deeds did you do during your winter hunting for the emperor to reward you?" ”
