The venerable Rui King, when Master Xia came to thank him gratefully, smiled and offered to protect Xia Ruixi's match. The object of the media protection is the Ou Sishao who is still in the Xia family.

It's not that Xia Ruixi really has both ability and political integrity as praised by the prince, nor does Ou Sishao really admire Xia Ruixi, the most fundamental reason is that Ou Sishao's favored cousin finally gave birth to a son after giving birth to three princesses in a row. In this way, the direction of the wind in the court began to change, although the Ou family is only the maiden family of the concubine's mother, but it also has to be expressed. And this Rui Wang, although he is Zhao Mingtao's little uncle, is only not much older than Zhao Mingtao, he relied on being an ally of the concubine Niangniang to get the favor of Jinshang, at this time he naturally has to stand up for the concubine and his own future plans.

He and the concubine may not be aware of the wealth of the Xia family, but the connections of the Xuan family are rare. If it weren't for the fact that the Xuan family didn't have a suitable daughter to marry (Xuan Liu was the only young lady from the Xuan family), such a good thing might not have happened to Xia Ruixi.

Everything is a foregone conclusion, whether the Xia family and the Ou family are willing or not, this family business is imperative.

When the news reached Xia Ruixi's ears, she didn't even have a chance to express her frustration and sadness. Because Master Xia did not come to ask for her opinion, but to inform her that there was such a thing, so that she could be mentally prepared and ready to get married.

As soon as Master Xia came, he gave Xia Ruixi a clear analysis of the pros and cons, and let her understand that now she has no other way to go except to marry Ou Qingjin. Let's not say that Ou Qingjin has a really good character, and he is the ideal lover of women; Let's just say that she has lived with Ou Qingjin for so long, and she has a skin-to-skin relationship, and she is no longer innocent, and she has to marry him; Finally, from the perspective of practical interests, only the Ou family has the strength to compete with the Shouwang Mansion, only the Ou family dares to marry her, and she can only avoid trouble and have a peaceful family by marrying Ou Qingjin.

To sum up, Xia Ruixi has to marry Ou Qing.

What happened next proved how wise and powerful Master Xia's decision was. Because Zhao Mingtao, the eldest son of Shouwangfu, blatantly invited another noble person in the court as a guarantor, and asked to marry Xia Ruixi as a side room.

And this nobleman, coincidentally, happens to be the eldest son of the emperor and the sworn enemy of the concubine Niangniang in the future. Thanks to the security of King Rui first, Master Xia has enough reasons to refuse, Rao is so, he has already offended people.

After Master Xia sent away this evil wolf, he was busy discussing the matter of hiring a marriage with Master Ou, who had entered Beijing to congratulate the concubine, and ordered a lot of cloth and jewelry in the capital.

Everyone was congratulating Xia Ruixi, and no one noticed Xia Ruibei's desperate and crazy eyes. Xia Ruixi burned this incense, which did not bring her any good luck, but brought endless nightmares and pain. Xia Ruixi can marry in style, but she no longer has any excuse to escape her and marry into the Sun family. The fate of being a widow at a young age. Xia Ruibei locked herself in the house for a day and a night, did not eat or drink, cut five sets of skirts, and then came out expressionless.

Xia Ruixi was generally scared and uneasy about this marriage, but she could only force a smile to all the people who came to congratulate her. She just wants to eat porridge and side dishes, but everyone thinks she should eat abalone and shark fin, and if she doesn't eat it or says she doesn't like it, they will think she's hypocritical and unscrupulous.

She knew very well that her future husband didn't like her at all, and just some time ago, he was still reminding her to let the Xia family return his Geng post and break off the relationship with her, and she happily agreed to his request at that time.

Now that things have suddenly turned out like this, will he think that she has gone back on her word and is deliberately trying to marry him? In this way, even if Ou Qingjin was forced to agree to this family affair out of reluctance, he must be unwilling, and his psychology is a big pimple. A couple who don't love each other, but they are forced to be twisted together for various reasons, Xia Ruixi seems to have seen his unfortunate future.

In the afternoon of this day, Wan'er and Chun'er sat in the courtyard embroidering pillowcases for Xia Ruixi with happy faces, and joked with her from time to time.

"Miss, look at this." Chun'er handed the half-embroidered mandarin duck playing in the water to Xia Ruixi, "Do you like this color?" Isn't this green too light? Do you want to use the more emerald one? ”

Xia Ruixi looked at the tricks of the mandarin ducks playing in the water, and suddenly remembered Xuanliu and her mandarin ducks playing in the water, and couldn't help asking: "Wan'er, does he have a room and a concubine?" ”

Wan'er was splitting a silk thread into twenty strands, and when she heard her question, the silk thread in her hand was a mess, and she was stunned before she whispered: "Miss Hui's words, the slave maid has never heard of it." But come to think of it, at his age, there will definitely be no fewer people around him. ”

Xia Ruixi felt astringent in her heart, and the mandarin duck became no different from the stones on the side of the road in her eyes.

"Chun'er, just look at it. I don't have any particular preferences. ”

How can a woman not care about her marriage and dowry? Chun'er glanced at Xia Ruixi strangely, and then received Wan'er's eyes, and couldn't help but realize that Miss was jealous. He smiled and said, "Miss, what's there to be sad about?" No matter if he has ten or twenty, it's nothing, where can he compare with Miss? You are the clouds in the sky, they are just the mud under your feet, what to do, isn't it your word? ”

Xia Ruixi is not jealous, she doesn't need to be jealous, so far, she has never taken a fancy to Ou Qingjin. She is sad, sour, and sad, all just for her own fate, she has to intrigue with a large group of women to revolve around a man, please this man, and look up to others, which is her future life. And this kind of life, even the loveliest, most solid-eyed, and smartest pure children take for granted. For people of this era, the existence of concubines is fully justified.

Wan'er heard another flavor from Chun'er's gorgeousness, as if it was a warning, as if it was a mockery, it was an undisguised contempt and disapproval for concubines and concubines. Wan'er stopped the needle and thread in her hand and looked at Chun'er, but Chun'er just smiled faintly and focused on the work in her hand, as if she was too careful.

Xia Ruixi was in a trance, how to live her life in the future, she was completely at a loss. There are no concubines in the second room of the Xia family, and Mrs. Xia simply relies on Master Xia's true feelings for her, and with a wave of her jade hand, she completely blocks those women from the door, and Xia Ruixi has no way to learn from her the experience and means of dealing with concubines and rooms.

Uncle Xia has two concubines from time to time, but he is just trying to be fresh for a while, and at this time, the Wang family will quickly solve those concubines without any means, completely relying on vigor and ruthlessness. Or mention it and sell it, or just find an excuse that is so inferior that it can't be inferior. Xia Ruixi didn't think that he could drive anyone away in such a simple and childish way in the Ou family's compound.

Thinking of this, Xia Ruixi stood up irritably: "You guys are busy, I have a headache, go in and lie down for a while." ”

Chun'er looked at Xia Ruixi worriedly, although Xia Ruixi didn't say it, she just knew that Xia Ruixi was very sad. Although this new aunt surnamed Ou saved the second lady's life and carried her out of the deep mountains and old forests, and the second miss also saved his life, the second miss just didn't like this. In the past few days, she mentioned him far less often than she mentioned the lazy, good-looking Mu Fei, who was always wearing old clothes that had been washed white.

The second lady used to love to talk to this Mu Fei son, and when she talked about it, for a few hours, Mu Fei could always make her laugh.

When she mentioned him, she always brought a look of yearning and joy, she said: "Chun'er, don't you see how good his skills are!" If I had his skills, no one would be able to bully me anymore. It's a pity I didn't have a chance to learn from him. ”

And he said, "He had a master who could draw the kind of barbecue table and draw something called an airplane." It is said that this kind of plane can carry many people, flying fast and steady, we return to Xijing from the capital, it only takes a few hours. Think about it, how good is it that we have to travel for a month by carriage, and it only takes a few hours? I really want to meet this master of his. Unfortunately, I can't even get out of this door. “

When Wan'er euphemistically mentioned Ou Sishao and praised him for his bravery, wisdom, and martial arts, not afraid of the powerful, and few people in the world can match, Miss always chuckled: "Wan'er, are you crazy again?" I'm telling you that he's not as omnipotent as you think. For example, he is tall, but he is far from being able to fight and fly like Mu Fei; He looks calm and arrogant on the outside, but in fact he will be scared, will cry for help, and will be scared. He is just lucky, born in a wealthy family, he looks better than others, and his literary talent is better than others. “

Although Chun'er scolded Ou Sishao, she admitted that Ou Sishao was indeed the perfect husband in many women's ideals. In the face of Ou Sishao, the second miss didn't care so much, but when Mu Fei and the fourth aunt met and refused to talk to the second miss anymore, she saw the second miss hiding in the corner of the bed and crying secretly.

All of this made Chun'er boldly guess, could it be that Miss Fei actually fell in love with the mediocre-looking, unknown origin, and destitute Mu Fei? Miss is not a person who judges people by their appearance, which is good, but it is too unrealistic. Even a little girl like her, knowing that it was completely impossible for Miss and that Mu Fei, Chun'er secretly sighed for Xia Ruixi and bowed a handful of sad tears.

Being a lady also has the sadness of being a lady. For example, the third lady, since the second miss got engaged, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, and she is so haggard that she can be blown down by a gust of wind. Everyone was saying in private that as soon as she went back this time, the third lady would have to marry the young master of the tuberculosis ghost of the Sun family, and Yan'er was afraid that she would be a widow for the rest of her life with the third miss, so she took advantage of the chaos to escape secretly.

After Chun'er finished embroidering the last stitch, she was about to go in to see Xia Ruixi, when a mother-in-law who was in charge of managing the flowers and trees ran through the gate of the courtyard like crazy, screaming and screaming: "Dead!" Dead! ”
