Chapter 118: Out of the Cabinet
Xie Qian is the eldest daughter of the second room, and she is the first one in the Xie family's generation to get married, and Xie Fu has always attached great importance to it.
The old lady is in charge, the three books and six ceremonies, and the dowry is very proper, and the other party is also the son of the official eunuch family in the capital, so he naturally attaches great importance to it.
Originally, the girl from Xie Ge's hometown got married, how could it be lively, just when the Xie family was ready, there was news of a war in Datong.
Xie Yuncang was in charge of the military department, so he was naturally very busy.
Coupled with today's situation, who dares to have a lively happy event?
Therefore, Xie Qian's exit from the pavilion was particularly deserted.
Of course, this coldness is the feeling of the other Xie family, and for Xie Songhua, a person who has never seen the world, he still feels that the pomp is good.
When the three dynasties returned to the door, what Xie Songhua saw was a completely different Xie Qian.
She had already combed the woman's hair in a bun, and was accompanied by a somewhat urbane man, and the old lady was very happy, and kept the couple talking for a while, and then sent the new aunt to talk to her father-in-law.
Xie Yuncang, as his father, still took the time to go home in the end, but he didn't stay long, and returned to the yamen, accompanied by Xie Changqing and Xie Langhua.
As for Xie Qian, now that she is married, returning to the Xie family is not a treatment at all.
In the words of the old lady, when my aunt and grandmother came back, it was a coquette.
The ladies in the house all came out to entertain, but apparently Xie Qian was not used to such occasions, so the old lady asked several of their sisters to accompany her.
In the east courtyard of the old lady's house, the contents of it have basically been emptied, and it has become a guest room.
Xie Songhua and Xie Qian are not very familiar with each other, so they are just accompanying them, and the other sisters have many curious questions, and the shyness of some of the younger daughters' families is also undoubtedly revealed.
Only Xie Qionghua sat for a while, and then he couldn't stand it anymore and went back.
Although Xie Qionghua has a hot temperament, she is a beauty lamp, she gets sick at two ends in three days, and it is said that she has been taking medicine since she can eat, which is something that everyone knows, so even if she is a concubine, no one has ever come to propose marriage.
There are even rumors that Xie Qionghua asked the spirit master to see his face, and he is not a long-lived person.
For this reason, Changfang didn't plan to marry this daughter, but just keep her as an old girl.
At this moment, this occasion is a little exciting for her, after all, this is in ancient times, and women here regard marriage as a lifelong way out, and she, who is not married, is of course out of place.
Xie Shuhua sneered lightly when she left, of course, the voice was very small, and Xie Songhua could only hear it not far away.
Since she was sure that she could marry into the prince's mansion, Xie Shuhua no longer behaved as gentle and virtuous as before in the Xie family, probably because she felt that she had something to rely on and didn't have to please the people in the mansion!
Xie Songhua just didn't see it, and still sat aside to listen.
Then I heard Xie Sihua ask: "Second sister, I heard that my brother-in-law's eldest brother is a guerrilla general over there in Datong, do you know what the situation is over there?" ”
Before her words fell, she heard Xie Shuhua say with a smile: "Seventh sister, are you worried about His Royal Highness King Chen?" ”
Xie Sihua suddenly glanced at her with some annoyance, although they are all her own sisters, but this is the secret matter of her daughter's family, Xie Shuhua said it like this, it is inevitably too much.
Xie Di's soft voice came from the corner, "Yes! Everyone is worried about His Royal Highness King Chen! Although the Jinyi Guards are cruel and harsh, His Royal Highness King Chen himself has a reputation for being ruthless and tyrannical.
But the safety of the border pass is now only tied to him alone, if something happens to His Royal Highness, it will be difficult to keep Datong, followed by Taiyuan, and then come over, that is our capital. ”
Her eyes were full of worry, and the warm atmosphere of the young daughters in the room was swept away, and everyone's faces showed a little sadness.
Xie Sihua hurriedly said: "That's it! At present, Darong is on the side, and there is no good news in the past few days, any Daqi people are naturally worried in their hearts. ”
"His Royal Highness King Chen was seriously injured before, and the palace sent a doctor over, saying that he was cured, but there was no definite news coming, and I don't know if he was cured."
Xie Qian's marriage coincided with such a war, and with the news of her in-laws' family, she naturally knew more than the other sisters.
Then the people began to talk about the war at the border again.
It's just that in the end, they are all boudoir women, and in such an ancient time when information is not smooth, their knowledge is limited after all, and there is no practical and useful information to talk about.
Xie Songhua slowly learned about this enlightened god of war from everyone's mouths-King Chen.
Originally, Xie Songhua was still thinking about why this King Chen was crowned king so early and held an important position at the border, why was he not a strong contender for the throne?
Now I know that although King Chen is about the same age as the crown prince, he is not the son of the current emperor, to be precise, the current emperor should call him a cousin.
He was the nephew of the first emperor, who inherited the throne from his father.
Therefore, King Chen is actually the son of the founding emperor of the Great Apocalypse, but he was born too late, and when the founding emperor died, he was still in his mother's womb, and finally the throne was passed on to the first emperor.
The founding emperor, that is, Qi Taizu was born from the grassroots, and he has been dependent on his younger brother since he was a child, so after the death of Emperor Taizu, he attached great importance to his nephew.
When King Chen was three years old, he was named the prince and took the word "Chen" as the king's name.
Before his death, he even wanted to pass the throne to him, but King Chen tried his best to refuse, and said that if the first emperor did not withdraw his fate, he would invite himself out of the clan.
The current emperor inherited the unification, and at the same time inherited the favor of the first emperor to King Chen.
Everyone in the world knows that among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the person who is most trusted and relied on by the saint is King Chen.
And King Chen also lived up to the expectations of the saints, as early as the age of fifteen, he became famous in a battle at the border pass, recaptured more than a dozen cities lost in Darong by the previous dynasty, and demarcated the current territory.
Therefore, even though King Chen holds the power of Jinyiwei, which makes all the official eunuchs tremble when they hear the change, they have a very high reputation among the people.
Otherwise, it would not have been that after the news of King Chen's injury came some time ago, the Holy Lord moved almost half of the Tai Hospital and sent everyone to the front line.
Xie Songhua slowly pieced together the general image of this King Chen in the gossip words of the sisters, and couldn't help but be more curious about him in his heart.
It's just that she also knows that even though she is Xie Ge Lao's daughter, there is still an insurmountable distance between her and such a real nobleman and a big man with real power.
I don't know if it's because of the chatter about the war, at Xie Qian's homecoming banquet, everyone looked a little nervous.
Even when he was leaving, Xie Qian's aunt's face was not very good-looking.
When it was time to accompany the old lady to dinner in the evening, everyone knew that the situation ahead was not very good.
It is said that this time Da Rong sent out their eldest prince, and he is also the sworn enemy of His Royal Highness King Chen, the two of them met on the battlefield back then, but the other party was defeated in the hands of His Royal Highness King Chen.
Now it seems that he came with a shameful mentality, so the war is a bit stalemate.
