Chapter 673: Happy Events in the Family (3)
Jingping did not participate in the canonization ceremony, and Ning Zijiu told her what had happened. also said that the crown prince's canonization ceremony, the emperor changed and changed, added many etiquettes, and registered the prince's seal.
Judging from the crown prince's canonization ceremony, the emperor attaches great importance to the crown prince.
Jingping thought that the queen mother had never forgiven her father in her previous life, and her father was seriously ill and her mother did not want to see each other. Now the third brother has become the crown prince, and she has begun to sleep.
She couldn't help but think, isn't it because the third brother was made the crown prince?
She didn't think about it deeply, at this time, Old Lady Yang already had an eyebrow for Ning Rong to find a wife.
With Ning Rong's identity, he accepted his wife, and she was also a good woman who wanted to have a clean family background and be knowledgeable.
The official media gave her many portraits of women, and she took a fancy to Xia Tan, the young daughter of Xinjian Bo.
Xia Tan is twenty this year, and the reason why she is not married until now is because she has been weak since she was a child. said that there were two relatives, but in the end they didn't work out.
Xia Tan also has a high heart, and originally decided not to marry for life.
Xinjian Bo didn't give up, as soon as he heard that the Ning family was asking the official media to say that Ning Rong was equalizing his wife, he immediately activated his mind.
The title of Xinjian Earl was when Emperor Jinghe ascended the throne, and Emperor Jinghe remembered that the Xia family gave him a lot of support, so he was given a title. In fact, it is a false lord. Several of his sons are inactive, and their official positions are extremely low.
It stands to reason that one of his concubines married into the Ning family as a concubine, but he actually wronged his daughter.
But the Ning family is high, Ning Rong has both a marquis and a powerful official position, and any noble girl wants to marry in.
Not to mention who doesn't know, Ning Rong's wife has been sent to the temple without a state before the saint, and although her daughter is married to a flat wife, she is actually no different from a wife, if she can give birth to a few sons, it is unknown whether she will be raised to a wife in the future.
So he immediately took the money to the official media and painted a portrait of his daughter and sent it to the Ning family.
In fact, there are many people who have the same thoughts as Xinjian Bo, and the old lady received the portrait, all of them were innocent women in the house.
The old lady picked and chose Xia Tan from the new uncle's house.
Why?
Only after she heard that Xia Tan had a high heart and decided not to marry, she assisted her mother in the house to preside over the middle feed, and took care of the family contacts, and was a very smart and clever person.
The old lady thought to herself that what the Chen family lacked most was intelligence, so she must admit a smart person to her son.
On this day, Jingping and Ning Zijiu returned to the Hou Mansion, and the old lady pulled Jingping into the house and showed her Xia Tan's portrait.
When Jingping came, he already knew that the old lady had been busy giving Ninghou Zhang Luona's wife recently.
At first glance, the portrait is a very dignified and delicate woman.
"What do you think, princess?" The old lady felt that the princess had the best eye, and she should be able to see it.
"It's a nice woman."
I just don't know how to behave?
"From the time I decided to give your father Naping's wife to now, I have received more than 20 paintings, and I have taken a fancy to this Xia family." The old lady said.
"Grandmother received more than twenty paintings?" Are they all portraits of teenage ladies?
"Isn't it?" The old lady said, "I was also very surprised, I didn't expect your father to be very popular." ”
The conditions of this Xia Tan are actually good, she is the same size as Ning Zijiu, but she wants to marry Ning Houfu's wife.
This flat wife said that she was a wife, but in fact she was still a concubine!
"If the princess also thinks it's good, I'll let the official media propose marriage." The old lady said.
"As long as my father thinks it's good, I naturally have no opinion." This kind of thing, Jingping won't intervene much.
"Your father has been moved by me, and said that everything is up to me." The old lady said.
"That's good, there is another happy event in the house." Jingping Road.
"Your father's marriage must be, and my heart can finally let go of half of it."
Jing smiled faintly, and when Ning Zijiu came back, she hurriedly asked Xia Tan about the background of her origin.
"As early as when my grandmother was interested in the Xia family, I checked the new uncle." Ning Yi said, "Although Xinjian Bo has no status in Dong'an City, and his father treats him kindly, he has formed a lot of in-laws? ”
"Oh?"
"Huainan Hou Zheng Jue's wife is Xinjian Bo's sister-in-law." Ning Yi said.
"......" Jingping was stunned, she didn't forget that at her birthday banquet, Zheng Ying, the granddaughter of Huainan Hou, made a big ugly.
"If my father marries Xia Tan, wouldn't the Ning family have more in-laws with the Zheng family?" Jingping Road.
"That's true, but Xia Tan married into the Ning family as a concubine, and she is not an in-law." Ning Zijiu said lightly, "Father also knows the relationship, and he doesn't seem to be opposed to marrying the Xia family." ”
"Since my father agrees, it is not easy for you and me to be children."
And there's nothing to object to, my father doesn't have one by his side, so I can't keep him single!
"Today, my father also asked me what I thought. I said the same. ”
As the husband and wife were talking, Dongxue knocked on the door outside, "Princess, Master Horse, the front yard sent someone to deliver a message, please ask the princess and Master Horse to go to the front yard to talk." ”
Jing Ping and Ning Yi glanced at each other, and the two went to the front yard.
When he arrived in the hall, he saw Ning Rong sitting in the first seat with the old lady, and the old lady's face did not look very good.
Jingping faintly felt that something was wrong, she and Ning Yi sat down with their hands, while Ning Lan and Zhang sat opposite her.
"Did my father tell us something?" Ning Yi asked.
"There's one thing." Ning Rong's expression was unnatural, "Butler Lai, bring Mrs. Mei in." ”
Mrs. May?
Ning Yi and Jing Ping both felt strange, and after a while, they saw Steward Lai with a woman who seemed to be in her thirties leading a girl in her teens and following Steward Lai in.
The woman was dressed in coarse gray and her hair was covered in cloth, revealing a face that I had seen pity. And the girl next to her is a little similar to what she was born with, and she is also quite beautiful.
Jing Ping secretly thinks badly!
"See Master Hou." Mrs. May immediately saluted.
"This Mrs. Mei is from Fangqiu, and she used to have some kindness to me, but now she is lonely and helpless, and she has come to Dong'an with her daughter to beg for a living. Ben Hou decided to accept her as a concubine. Ning Rong said.
As soon as Ning Rong's words came out, everyone sitting was extremely surprised.
Jingping always thought that Ning Rong had a lot of feelings for the Chen family, otherwise the Chen family was such a confused and stupid person, he would not have taken concubines for so many years and guarded the Chen family alone.
Now that this Mrs. Mei has appeared, looking at Ning Rong's demeanor, it is very unusual for Mrs. Mei.
"What did Mrs. Mei do when she came to Dong'an with her daughter to beg for a living?" Ning Yi asked.
Hearing this, Mrs. Mei turned her head to look at Ning Yi, and then said, "Sell wine in a wine shop." ”
"Zijiu, your grandmother has agreed to this matter. My Lady Namei is a concubine, and I don't have to put wine, so I can get together at home and recognize my face. Ning Rong looked at his son, his eyes shining with warning.
The father took a concubine, and the grandmother agreed, but it was indeed not Ning Zijiu's turn to speak.
Ning Zijiu saw that the old lady's face was not happy, and she must have been forced to reluctantly agree.
