Chapter 5: Marriage as a Covenant (2)

On the day of the birthday banquet, the whole Linsu City was shrouded in a joyful atmosphere, and since the morning, the shops that have dealings with Duanmu Mansion have hung red silk and red lanterns at the door. Whether it is in the restaurant or in the house, the birthday banquet of the Duanmu family is discussed everywhere, and all kinds of luxury seem to be seen with their own eyes, and some people are discussing the marriage of Miss Hua Shu of the Duanmu family.

Qingrang didn't have such a good life, a busy day, until nightfall, the banquet began, she sat on the side, rested for a while, Jin Niang secretly replaced the tea in her cup with ginseng soup, the master and servant smiled tacitly, but no one paid attention.

The sound of silk and bamboo has not stopped, and the guests have whispered and occasionally laughed.

"Jin Niang, I think I'm busy with illness, this looks kind, but I feel faintly uneasy in my heart."

"It's right to be uneasy, the next thing is Miss Hua Shu's appearance, I saw that those sons and brothers are all gearing up, I heard that in addition to Miss Mu Yi in Beiling, Miss Hua Shu is the first choice for marrying a wife." Of course, this order is born according to the family background, and in recent years, there are still a few young ladies among the nobles.

"It's not this that I'm upset, hey, forget it, maybe it's been a long time since I've seen a guest without a veil, I'm worried in my heart."

Before the words fell, the candlelight on the stage dimmed, and everyone stopped talking tacitly, and their eyes were cast on the stage. Hua Shu held the night pearl in her hand, dressed in a colorful skirt, dancing on the stage with silk music, and the candlelight gradually lit up behind her to control the atmosphere just right.

With the soft dancing posture and delicate face, the sons in the audience were stunned one by one. And Qing Rang's eyes are empty white flowers and silver taels, not counting the stage decoration, Hua Shu's new jewelry, just the night pearl is a selected size suitable for Hua Shu's dance, so he looked for half of Amaterasu, and the flowing color skirt was modified six times before and after, spending at least more than five hundred taels of silver. The applause of the crowd disrupted the abacus in Qingrang's mind, and it turned out that the song and dance had ended.

Hua Shu dragged her long skirt, walked to the main table, and raised her wine glass, "Daughter wishes my father good fortune like Donghai Shoubi Nanshan." ”

Lord Duanmu took the wine glass and drank it all, and the distinguished guests beside him began to admire, there is a woman like this life is enough, Duanmu Lord pretended to have no intention of sighing, his daughter is always a guest of his own family, and one day he finally married another woman, and then there were all kinds of sighs of wanting to marry him.

"I see, if Miss practices like that every day, she will dance much better than Miss Hua Shu......" Jin Niang always hoped that the group of old ladies who were talking about the marriage of their children would take a more look at their young lady.

"Jin Niang, you can't say anything like this casually." Qing Rang rarely let go of Jin Niang's face, just because the banquet was crowded, in case it was listened to by someone with a heart, it would be bad to cause unprovoked trouble.

A small servant stepped forward to speak in Jin Niang's ear, and Jin Niang passed it on to Qing Rang, who got up and quietly withdrew from the banquet from the side. When she came back from her business, she saw an even more lively scene. The guests all looked like they were watching a show, and the old lady at the main table was embarrassed, Hua Shu stood aside like a chicken, only Fang Shijie's fool clapped his palms and shouted with a smile: "Beautiful sister is my Luo, beautiful sister is my Luo ......"

Qing Rang stood behind Yun Ze, and Yun Ze briefly said what had happened. It turned out that everyone wanted to marry Hua Shu, but Master Duanmu opened his mouth and let Hua Shu choose by himself. Hua Shu said that she danced with her back, and whoever could match with music would marry whomever she could. Everyone knows that Yu Zichen has always kept the jade flute from his body, Hua Shu obviously has a sense of favoritism, who knows that Hua Shu danced for a while, Fang Shijie snatched Yu Zichen's flute beside him and blew it, and it was synchronized with Hua Shu's dancing posture, Hua Shu listened to the sound of the flute and was afraid that she was secretly happy, but she didn't know that it was Fang Shijie who was playing when she turned around.

"Who would have thought that fool would be so proficient in music theory...... "Although Yun Ze was not prejudiced against Fang Shijie, he couldn't bear to let his sister marry a stupid person.

And Qing Rang set his eyes on Yu Zichen beside Fang Shijie, with that person's familiarity with Fang Shijie, wouldn't he know that he was good at music theory, how could he let a fool snatch his jade flute with that person's skills. Yu Zichen was reluctant to marry Duanmu Mansion, this was the recognition that made Qing Rang feel a chill in his head.

"The Divine Decree to ......"

Everyone didn't have time to react, they knelt on the ground one after another, the father-in-law's sharp voice read the holy decree, and people in every corner could hear the content, the first paragraph was all kinds of praise for Hua Shu, just like Hua Shu was the emperor watching grow up, and in the second half there was only one sentence to marry the eldest prince and canonize Princess Shude.

Hua Shu ran away crying, and Duanmu's Lady Yun explained that it was such an honor, and she cried with joy. Yun Ze sighed, Qing Rang always remembered later, "A fool is still a prince, which is better or worse, I'm afraid only God knows." ”

And Qingrang finally felt at ease, she finally knew why she had been worried about this night, just for this marriage that turned a thousand times. But now her peace of mind is also content with her, she is glad that she is not a concubine and does not have to become a political tool. But God will always turn around when you think everything is gone.

Just like Fang Fool, he sat on the ground and was distressed, asking Master Duanmu to compensate him for a beautiful sister, the cry moved the heavens and the earth, and also moved the head of the house, Gao Gonggong, who was sitting on the side of the main seat.

"Little Hou Ye, what are you crying about? The Queen Mother knew that it was time to feel distressed. "Fang Fool's biological mother is the only daughter of the Queen Mother, Princess An Yi, the princess is difficult to give birth to Shijie and died, the Queen Mother has always felt sorry for this only grandson. As soon as Father-in-law Gao said this, the sweat on Duanmu's forehead came down.

Yun Shi slowly walked in front of Fang Shijie, "Don't worry, little marquis, sister Hua Shu can't do it, we will compensate the little marquis in Duanmu Mansion for a more beautiful one." ”

Fang Shijie's tears were also fake, he didn't cry when he heard this, Huo pointed in the direction of Qingrang, "I want that sister...... Younger sister! ”

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Qing Rang, some were sympathetic, after all, he was a fool, some were envious, at least he was a marquis, after all, he was just a concubine.

"The little girl is a concubine, how dare she climb the little marquis!" Master Duanmu immediately stood up and refused, but the fool forced Hua Shu He was not so excited, Yun's face moved slightly, and his heart was uneven.

"The most important thing is that the little marquis is happy." As soon as Father-in-law Gao's words came out, it was a sure thing.

Yun Ze wanted to step forward, but Qing Rang grabbed it, shook his head at the eldest brother, and only had four words in his mouth: "The overall situation is important." ”

"My pretty sister is mine!" Fang Shijie smiled and ran to the person who led Qingrang, please let not dodge, but smiled slightly, Yun Ze clenched his fists tightly, and heard someone whispering behind him, "It's still a fool who has a fool's luck, this Duanmu Second Miss is the treasure of the Duanmu family." ”

Fang Shijie pulled Qing Rang to Yu Zichen and handed Qing Rang's hand to Yu Zichen, "Zichen, look, I will give you the daughter-in-law I won!" ”

Yu Zichen snatched the jade flute and buckled the fool's head, "How can you mess around with marriage?" ”

"There's no nonsense, yesterday you gave me a kite, I said I wanted to give you a baby, the nurse said you don't lack anything, just lack a daughter-in-law!" I felt aggrieved again when I spoke, and I started to howl and cry again while holding Qingrang's arm, "If I want to send Zichen's daughter-in-law, I will send a beautiful daughter-in-law......"

Everyone gasped, tonight a room of people was made up of a fool, and even the father-in-law Gao who was sitting in a high position was a little confused, but he was originally the one who helped, and he had to go all the way to the end, "Marshal Yu, look at the slave family, the little marquis is also kind, it is better for you to accept it." ”

Qing Rang looked at Yu Zichen, looking at him like everyone else, not pleading, just thinking about how he would react. He didn't look at her, but glanced at Master Duanmu, there was anxiety and trust in Duanmu's eyes, Yu Zichen turned around and saluted Gonggong Gao, "Since my father-in-law said so, how could Zichen refute the little marquis's intentions, but I don't know if Duanmu is willing to marry his daughter." ”

The stone in Duanmu's heart fell by half, looked at Qing Rang who was standing not far away, and then looked at the little Hou Ye who had a handful of snot, "It's the little girl who has climbed high." ”

Originally, it was a gift flower for the old man's birthday, but it happened to bloom at this time, and everyone sighed that the Duanmu family tonight can be described as a lot of twists and turns, and Qing Rang also cast a lot of admiring eyes.

And none of the Duanmu family present had joy in their eyes.

That night, the entire Linsu City knew that Miss Duanmu was married to the sister-in-law of the Nanxiang Yu family. Yu Zichen later asked Qing Rang how she felt that night, and Qing Rang recalled: "At that time, I only remembered what my mother said, everything is fate, I can't avoid it, I can't hide it." The only way to deal with it is to deal with it calmly. What about you? ”

Yu Zichen raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he seemed to be foolish, and spit out two words, "It's dangerous." ”
