Chapter 10: "The Emperor Has a Reward!" ”
In the early morning, You Tingrong Qingsi was half-curled, and the long black hair on the back of her head moved against her body, and was blown by the warm breeze of early summer, which added a bit of agility to her.
At this moment, he was in a hurry to collect morning dew for the old lady, because he was serving in front of the old man, dressed plainly, and when he was done, You Tingrong noticed the third aunt standing under the corridor, and he didn't know how long he had been looking.
"Third aunt." At a distance not far away, I especially listened to Rong Wen's greetings.
The third aunt looked at You Tingrong from a distance and approached, still wearing a silk and linen wide shirt, the azure clothes were plain only with woven flowers at the neckline, and the thin waist buckle was loosely hooked around the slender waist, and she was intoxicated when she walked.
"The eldest lady is really filial." The third aunt replied politely, she didn't dare to underestimate You Tingrong now.
The third aunt looked at the familiar face in front of her, and she didn't know why, since the eldest lady came back from the Inspiration Temple, the whole person was different...... It has a unique charm and is particularly attractive.
The two of them entered the house together and sat down.
"Look at it today, the eldest lady is really like a fairy." In front of the old lady, the praise of the third aunt seemed to be sincere.
"Now that the matter of the second lady has been decided, the eldest lady is the elder sister, and she should also focus on lifelong events." The third aunt's tone was serious.
Speaking of this, the old lady was also in good spirits, she was worried about You Tingrong's marriage.
Although she is a granddaughter, You Tingrong grew up next to the old lady, but it is a pity that they moved to the capital for only two years, and there has been no suitable candidate in the capital, and they are reluctant to marry their daughter back to Qi County.
"If you see it and think it's good, just say it!" The old lady was anxious, and she didn't scruple that You Tingrong was still there.
"Since the ancestor has spoken, I don't care about the rules, I really know a few good sons." The third aunt followed the old lady's words.
"It's a joke, it was originally for the second lady, but the second lady's status is lower, and I haven't had time to mention it. The eldest lady was taught by the old lady and the lady herself, and no matter how picky she was, there was no dissatisfaction. The third aunt held the old lady with a smile.
The old lady was a little relieved when she heard this, since she was picked for Youting, it wouldn't be too bad.
The third aunt glanced at You Tingrong, knowing that her vision was now high, and quipped: "Ancestor, the eldest lady is still there, how can anyone talk about marriage in front of her daughter's family, and she is not afraid of making the eldest lady ashamed!" ”
You Tingrong became vigilant and refused to avoid it, "The third aunt is too worried, the third aunt is willing to work hard for me, and I only have gratitude in my heart." ”
The third aunt knew her concerns, so she simply opened up and said, "If it is a rich and noble family, I really don't have the ability to do it." Looking at You Tingrong's expression was very calm, "But they are definitely people with a clean family, with the talent of the eldest lady, the husband and wife will be harmonious in the future, and the life will definitely be better and better." ”
You Tingrong chuckled, it seemed that he had listened to You Tingjiao's words, and was afraid that she would disturb You Tingjiao's good thing about entering the palace, so he was in a hurry to marry her. However, this is also in line with You Tingrong's wish, she does not seek wealth and glory, but only hopes to be a wife and a husband and wife.
"Then let's work together." The old lady nodded.
"One is the son-in-law of the Xue family, although the Xue family is only an official position on the ninth grade, but after all, he is an errand in the palace." The third aunt continued with a smile: "What's even more rare is that the Xue family's family rule is that only forty childless concubines can be accepted, and Xue Gongzi is even more good at business. ”
The old lady nodded unconsciously when she heard this, "Not bad." ”
The third aunt's smile deepened, "The other is white, but the family has small assets, doing rice and grain business in the capital, and there is a big house in the suburbs of Beijing." ”
The third aunt was afraid that You Tingrong would be disgusted, and added: "This Zhao Gongzi is the reincarnation of Wenquxing, and he is the leader of the township test at the age of nineteen, so he will only try to add color to the family!" ”
The old lady looked at You Tingrong, "These two are good, Rong'er, which one do you like more?" ”
"What's more?" You Guitai's voice came from the door, he happened to be resting today, and came to greet the old lady: "Mother." ”
The third aunt was a little uncomfortable, the old lady didn't think so much, and said directly: "The third aunt recommended two good people to Rong'er......"
You Guitai's face sank after hearing this, and he looked at the third aunt with gloomy eyes, "Who told you to make your own decisions!" ”
You Guitai is only over forty, and he finally entered the capital as a civil official, although he is thin and thin, he is in good spirits. has always been gentle to the third aunt, but now that the official career has been touched, those tenderness have all been forgotten.
"A nine-grade petty official, a cloth-clothed civilian? Can this also be considered a good person? ”
The third aunt's face was ugly, so she could only grit her teeth and admit her mistake, "It's the concubine who has lost her sense of proportion, and the master should not be angry." ”
You Guitai reluctantly eased his tone, and looked at You Tingrong eagerly, "Rong'er's appearance and talent are all good, but she can be a good son-in-law!" ”
"The Chi family just sent a salute today, and I was just about to talk to Rong'er." You Guitai's eyes were blazing, and his eyes were shining, "Our Rong'er, even the son of the Shangshu family is worthy, and in the future, these people who can't be on the stage don't need to mention it!" ”
The third aunt was a little anxious, these two candidates were made by her with great difficulty, and there were many dreams at night, if the old man knew that You Tingrong had already been taken by the emperor, her Jiaojiao would have become an outcast.
"Master, the Chi family is noble, even if we climb high, we are only afraid of ...... The eldest lady can only be a concubine...... "Although she has other selfish intentions, it is rare for the third aunt to think about the eldest lady, but unfortunately You Guitai has no patience to listen."
"What do you know as a woman?" You Guitai interrupted her without hesitation, "Sanpin Shangshu is an important minister in the court!" Such a family, let alone a concubine, as long as you can climb to the kiss, how many people can't ask for a blessing! ”
You Guitai said to You Tingrong earnestly: "Rong'er, you can't be short-sighted, you have to look at the long term." ”
You Tingrong sneered in his heart, lowered his eyes, and nodded yes.
The happiness of his daughter is not worth mentioning in You Guitai's eyes, as long as he can contribute to his career, he doesn't care who he marries.
She, the father, only has this ability, even if he gains power, he will only invite trouble! In this life, he will rot in the capital with his third aunt, mother and daughter.
————
After that day, Mrs. Chi sent a housekeeper to give You Guitai a heavy gift. also apologized for canceling the original invitation on the grounds that Chi Qinghuan needed to follow the etiquette and learn the rules.
Although You Guitai is lost, he can hold the tortoiseshell tube Zihao set of pens sent by the Chi family is very loving, the tortoiseshell armor is already rare, plus the gilding process of the pen tube, the production is fine, and you can also comfort yourself The Chi family must value You Tingrong.
For Youguitai, greater good things are yet to come.
On the day You Tingjiao entered the palace, except for the old lady who was recuperating, the family members all followed to give her a ride.
The third aunt was red-eyed, reluctantly holding You Tingjiao's hand. You Tingjiao is also full of sadness, since then she has entered the deep palace, if she can't be favored, she won't be able to see it for the rest of her life.
Forced to only seal the ceremony, you can't bring a dowry maid, and the dowry can't exceed a certain number, otherwise it will be overstepping. No matter how distressed and reluctant the third aunt is, she can only give enough three hundred taels, and she must be cautious in her words and deeds, and deliver the news in time.
On the contrary, it was You Guitai who deliberately bought a summer coat for You Tingrong, and at this moment, a begonia red waist-length Luo skirt was shining with a delicate luster, and a pair of pearl hairpins were obliquely inserted in the bun, looking indifferent.
In contrast, You Tingjiao, who originally thought she was the winner, now wondered if the opportunity to enter the palace today was just You Tingrong's leftover cold rice.
Thinking that You Tingrong could marry better in the future, You Tingjiao's tears burst the embankment.
Raising Mama immediately turned cold, "You Fengyi, the grace of the heavenly family when you enter the palace is your honor, on a happy day, don't cry and break the rules!" ”
You Guitai was also impatient, and before he could speak, a little father-in-law in a brown palace robe walked into the door quickly, pinched his throat and said loudly:
"The emperor has a reward!"
