Chapter 255: The Xianbei Clan Seeks Marriage
Su Jinxiang's marriage battle is not like a concubine's marriage, and the five rooms of the Su family have once again become a topic of discussion among the people after dinner.
On the Yang family's side, they didn't have much hope at first, until the sedan chair came to the door, and they looked at the dowry battle one by one, and they were very frightened, and they also looked up to Su Jinxiang a lot.
The second young lady of the Yang family, Su Jinxiang's husband's second sister-in-law, looked at the ninety-eight dowry entering the door, and her whole face was gloomy, as if someone owed her millions.
"Sluts, they are all sluts, a concubine, since there are so many dowries......." Mrs. Yang returned to the room angrily, closed the door and threw a lot of things, and the anger in her heart rose straight up.
I think she is also the second daughter of the Sipin official family, when she first married into the Yang family, the dowry was seventy-eight, but she was red by many people, and now in less than two years, she was slapped in the face, and the most important thing is that the person who slapped her in the face was still a concubine.
What about the concubines of the Guogong Mansion? It's not the same that the slave was born to the seedling, where is it more noble than the concubine, when she thinks she is in her mother's family, the concubine is the slave of their sisters......
The maid beside Mrs. Yang Ershao waited in fear, and she didn't dare to make a sound, and she was a little more afraid of the master in front of her. "Miss, no matter how much the dowry of the third young lady is, she can't change the background of the concubine, why bother with her."
The maid plucked up her courage and persuaded her, but she began to think about things in her heart.
She is a dowry maid, and she should have served her uncle when the young lady was unwell, but the young lady was jealous and kept pressing them and not letting them get close to the second young master.
It's been almost two years since my own young lady got married, but there is no movement in this belly, and the second young master is not very interested in the young lady, if she can give birth to the eldest son of the second young master, then in the future, wouldn't there be no worries about food and clothing, and the glory and wealth will be endless.
"Yes, Mrs. Ben is a concubine, why bother with a lowly concubine? No matter how much she dowries, doesn't she have to call me a second sister-in-law? However, ......" Mrs. Yang Ershao thought that in the past six months, with the woman in the big house, she gave birth to two sons in a row, but her stomach did not move at all, and her heart became more and more aggrieved.
Why is her stomach so unhappy? It's been almost two years, why hasn't there been any movement at all?
Although her husband's family is a scholarly family and does not force her to have children, how can she gain a firm foothold if she has no children? Now there is another concubine in the family, she entered the door later than the woman in the big room, and she has not been happy, but it is reasonable, but if the Su family in the third room is pregnant before her, then she will not be laughed at by others......
Seeing that Second Young Lady Yang's face was slightly softened, the maid nodded and continued to compliment: "Young Lady, it is imperative that you get pregnant with the child as soon as possible, otherwise the Third Young Lady will get pregnant before you, and then Mrs. will only be afraid that she will have a grudge against you." ”
After thinking about it, this maid still decided not to act rashly for the time being.
She has been serving her master for many years, what kind of temperament she knows, if she really climbs into her uncle's bed, she is afraid that she will not live long, even if she is lucky enough to give birth to her uncle's eldest son, she is afraid that she will become a thorn in the eye of the young lady.
Wealth is in danger, although she wants to be prosperous and rich, but she also has to keep her life in order to enjoy it, otherwise her life is gone, how can she enjoy glory and wealth?
"You...... Go down! ”
Mrs. Yang Er Young is the most taboo for others to talk about her delay in conceiving a child, at this time her face is very ugly, and she can't wait to drag this maid out and beat her to death, but after thinking about it, she feels that she can't do this, now she is not pregnant with a child, if she has a bad reputation, I am afraid that she will be disgusted by her husband and in-laws.
The maid lowered her head, didn't notice the face of Second Young Lady Yang, and walked out in response.
On the side of the Yang family's big house, the young lady of the Yang family, Bai, as the eldest daughter-in-law, followed Mrs. Yang to entertain the ladies and ladies of each family, and it was not until the evening that she returned to the courtyard of the big house.
In the evening, when the husband and wife were resting, Bai muttered a few words in her husband's ear, saying that Su Jinxiang, the third brother and sister, deserved to come out of the Guogong Mansion, and her temperament was not comparable to that of a small family like her.
Bai's heart is also jealous and panicked, she is from a low background, her mother's family is only a local six-grade official, when she entered the door, she made up enough sixty-eight dowries in line with high marriage, and she is also very face-saving in the local area, but when she arrived at the feet of this day, she found that sixty-eight dowries were just ordinary.
After the second room brother and sister entered the house, their background was higher than her, and the dowry was higher than her, so she felt uncomfortable, and now the third room brother and sister entered the house, obviously the concubine of the Guogong Mansion, but the dowry was higher than that of their two concubines, and she couldn't help but complain a few words in front of her husband.
The eldest young master of the Yang family glanced at the person next to him meaningfully, and said with a light smile. "Although the third brother and sister are the concubines of the Guogong Mansion, there is the second young lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law of the Seventh Princess, so it is natural that the dowry will be more."
"That's what I said, but the concubine felt uncomfortable in her body and mind......" Listening to her husband's words, Bai's heart was much more comfortable, but she refused to give in.
Yes, who makes the half-sisters of the family angry, one is married to the son of the eldest princess, and the other is the future princess of the Seventh Prince.
There is no comparison between people and people, just like her, she is only the daughter of the third room of the Bai family, although she is a concubine, but she is not as noble as the cousin of the long house, but because her mother and mother-in-law are cousins, her third room daughter married the eldest son of the fourth-grade official family, and the cousin of the long house can only marry the second son of the fifth-grade official family......
The eldest young master of the Yang family pinched Bai's waist and smiled playfully: "If you have that heart to fight for the wind and be jealous, it is better to give birth to a baby girl!" ”
“......”
Bai Shi was stunned, isn't this all about having a son? Why did her husband want to have a daughter?
She has always been proud of herself for entering the door for more than three years and giving birth to two sons, but now after listening to her husband's words, she suddenly reacted that what her husband has always wanted is not a son, but a daughter!
That's it, two sons are enough for her to gain a firm foothold in the Yang family, and it is also good to have a daughter in the next child......
Giving birth to a daughter is better than the eye above the top in the second room, and it has been almost two years since I entered the door, but there is no movement at all.
After Su Jinxiang got married, within a few days, the weather was a little bad, thick clouds covered the entire sky, and the cold wind was blowing.
Su Jinyan stood in the east courtyard of the West Wind Courtyard, beside the bed in her room, looking at the bad weather, her brows furrowed deeply!
In her previous life, she remembered that it was this year that the brave and warlike Xianbei tribe in the north sent envoys to the princess and asked to marry Princess Dashun.
The princesses in the palace who are now waiting for the word boudoir are only the tenth princess of Xixiao under Min Fangyi's knees, Min Fangyi is the daughter of the calligrapher of Lingyan Pavilion, and Lingyan Pavilion is her person......
"Someone, send this letter to the Fifth Prince's Mansion." After thinking about it, Su Jinyan decided to strike first, and before the arrival of the envoys of the Xianbei tribe in the north, let the emperor choose a horse for the tenth princess of Xixiao and give her a marriage.
The person outside the door answered, took the letter in Su Jinyan's hand, and left the Pingguo Mansion in a flash.
The reason why Su Jinyan asked people to send the letter to the Fifth Prince's Mansion was because she and the Seventh Prince were now an unmarried couple, and it was inconvenient to send the letter directly to the Seventh Prince, so she turned a corner and asked the Fifth Prince to send a message to the Seventh Prince.
The people under Su Jinyan's hands moved quickly, and within a few days, Min Fangyi in the palace reported that she was sick, and after the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, she said that it was not very good.
In recent years, Min Fangyi has been more favored, and after the emperor learned the news, he went to Min Fangyi's palace, and Min Fangyi begged the emperor to choose a horse for the tenth princess of Xixiao, saying that she has a biological daughter in her life, and she wants to see her daughter happy and watch her daughter get married......
The tenth princess of Xixiao is a few months younger than Su Jinyan, and will not be fifteen until March next year.
The princess of the royal family originally did not choose a horse to marry before she had time to marry, but Min Fangyi begged bitterly, and the five princes and the seven princes above the court tried their best to persuade them, and finally the emperor was relieved and promised to immediately start choosing a horse for the ten princesses of Xixiao, and the wedding date was set for March of the following year, after the ten princesses of Xixiao and Xu.
Under the holy decree, the major families have sent their grandchildren of the right age into the palace for the emperor to choose a horse for the ten princesses of Xixiao, and among the descendants of the Su family of Pingguo Gong, the brothers Su Jingan and Su Jinghong in the fourth room are both suitable for their age, and the fifth room of the Su family has a seventh princess, which should be the most suitable candidate, but for some reason, the emperor did not choose either of the two brothers Su Jingan and Su Jinghong.
The emperor's mind is unpredictable, when Su Jinyan got the news, the corners of his mouth hooked up a slight smile, the Pingguo Mansion has already made fun of her as a princess of the Seventh Emperor, and she will definitely not produce another concubine, the emperor is weighing it again......
Su Jinyan immediately wrote a letter and asked people to send it to Zishu's family, and after reading the letter, the head of Zishu's family entered the palace and asked to see Min Fangyi.
Less than two days later, the emperor issued a holy decree to marry the tenth princess of Xixiao and the third son of the family of Yingguo Gongjiang, Jiang Hongchao, because Min Fangyi was not in good health, he looked forward to the marriage of his only daughter as soon as possible, and the wedding date was set at the end of March of the coming year, ten days after the tenth princess of Xixiao and Xu.
By the time the wedding date of the tenth princess of Xixiao was set, the time was also at the end of November, a few days before Su Jinyan married the seventh prince.
Su Jinyan was ordered to concentrate on preparing for marriage, and the envoys of the Xianbei clan finally came at this time......
The envoys of the Xianbei tribe took the prince and princess to the capital of Dashun Kingdom, and the Dashun Dynasty was a sensation all of a sudden, and the major families speculated about what the Xianbei tribe came to say this time?
On this day, there were only three days before the wedding, and the hidden guard next to Su Jinyan presented a letter, Su Jinyan read the letter and was shocked in his heart, it turned out to be like this?
She said that why the Xianbei tribe in the north suddenly sent envoys to the Dashun Dynasty, it turned out that the Xianbei tribe had been snowing heavily since September, and the cattle and sheep had no pasture to eat, and they were about to starve to death.
And the strategists under the King of Xianbei made a plan, asking the King of Xianbei to send the princess and relatives, and at the same time begged to marry the princess of Dashun and marry the Qin and Jin Dynasty with Dashun.
When Su Jinyan learned the news, he immediately sent someone to meet the Seventh Prince and the Fifth Prince.
The stakes are very high, and Su Jinyan felt that it was not clear in the letter, so he risked being discussed and met privately with the five princes and the seven princes......
At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the best restaurant, Su Jinyan dressed up in disguise and met with the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince. "The courtiers give the five princes, and the seven princes ask for peace!"
Su Jinyan has not yet passed the door, so he can only call himself a courtier at this time.
"Lord Changxi, please get up!"
The Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince were surprised that Su Jinyan suddenly wanted to see them in private, but after being surprised, the two still came out privately.
After the three of them took their seats in order, Su Jinyan didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly. "Today, I invited the fifth prince and the seventh prince to come out to meet in private, in fact, Chang Xi got new news, about the ....... of the Xianbei tribe in the north"
Su Jinyan lowered his voice and told the situation of the Xianbei tribe in the north, and the fifth prince and the seventh prince looked shocked.
They knew that the Xianbei tribe suddenly sent envoys, and the prince and princess came to make peace, and the Xianbei tribe had never been the first because of such a reason.
Although the Xianbei tribe is brave and warlike, and has attacked Dashun several times, but now the Xianbei tribe has come to the door, and has shown sincerity, sent the princess and relatives, and is willing to marry Qin and Jin with Dashun.
"Now under the knees of my father, there is no princess of the right age, there are several county lords in the clan, the county lord and the county monarch, but the Xianbei clan is asking to marry the princess of Dashun, if you get a county lord to send something, I'm afraid it's ......not appropriate."
After pondering for a moment, the fifth prince expressed the concerns in his heart.
The concerns of the five princes are also the concerns of the seven princes, the Xianbei clan is asking to marry a princess, and getting a clan girl for someone else, I am afraid that I will fall into the handle.
The Xianbei people sincerely asked for help from Dashun, but their Dashun was ......
For a moment, the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince felt that the matter of the tenth princess of Xixiao before was related to the Xianbei clan's proposal to marry Princess Dashun, but after thinking about it, this idea was extinguished by them again.
They felt that although Su Jinyan was different from ordinary women, it was impossible for them to know in advance that the Xianbei tribe in the north was now facing an existential crisis, and it was impossible to say that Min Fangyi Niangniang in the palace was pretending to be sick.......
The next morning, the Xianbei envoys begged to see the Dashun Emperor, and expressed in public in the court that the Xianbei people were willing to marry the Qin and Jin dynasties with the Dashun, and sent the princess to kiss the Dashun, and at the same time asked to marry the Dashun princess.
The emperor was very happy about the initiative of the Xianbei tribe in his heart, but after thinking about it, he did not have a princess of the right age to be married, and the tenth princess had already given the marriage of the three sons of the Jiang family of the Ying Guo Mansion, and the holy decree was announced to the world and could not be taken back.
The remaining eleventh princess is only eleven years old now, and it is impossible for her to be close to Xianbei......
As for the prince, the emperor is not too worried, the eighth prince has a marriage contract, but the prince over fifteen years old, there are nine princes and ten princes.
The Nine Emperors are because Mrs. Duan wants a princess who is noble and can help the Nine Emperors, and she has been dragging it out, and the Nine Emperors have not set a suitable princess, and the Ten Princes, who are one year younger than the Nine Emperors, naturally have no marriage contract, and when the time comes, let Princess Xianbei choose one of them.
