wedding dress

Chapter 121 Falling into the Water
Xiaodong's first reaction was that it was impossible.

Isn't Song Jieyu and the Sixth Princess' good husband-in-law the original Fifth Princess' fiancé?No matter how quiet...

Of course, Shen Jing is outstanding, first of all, the long men and women kill all the old and the young, and secondly, his talent is obvious to all - the Shen family in Hedong is also a famous family.

Xiaodong remembered that when they were children a long time ago, the sixth princess seemed to admire Shen Jing...

If Zhao Zhi was still there, she would have said: A flower is about to be planted in cow dung.

Thinking of Zhao Zhi, Xiaodong couldn't help sighing. Xiaodong heard the news that Zhang Manting had left the capital, and it was said that he was going back to his hometown.Zhao Zhi should be with him.

Of course, cow dung does not mean silence.

But Xiaodong also felt that if Shen Jing married the sixth princess, her life would be over!Leaving aside the fact that being a son-in-law means the end of one's official career, just taking life at home as an example, is the sixth princess's temperament tolerant?If she married someone, she would guarantee that even the mother mouse in the family would look absolutely safe, and would scare a row of people to death when she turned around.What's the difference between Shen Jing's second half of his life and the prison cell?

But... it shouldn't be possible.Didn't Shen Jing say that she's already engaged?Although the princesses of the Great Xia Dynasty were pampered and cared about, they were different from the previous dynasty. In the previous dynasty, there were princesses who wanted to marry, and the queen mother bestowed the death of their original spouse first, and then the princess married.Such a thing has never happened in this dynasty.

When Xiaodong went into the palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, he couldn't help but ask: "My Lady, the Queen Mother, is Sixth Sister talking about marriage?"

"Yeah, you've heard that too?" The Empress Dowager Shengci said, "Your fifth elder sister can't recover from her illness for a while, but her younger sister can't always be delayed like this. The emperor has asked Zong Zhengsi to report the candidates."

"Uh... I heard that the Shen family's cousin is also there?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "Whoever said that, it's nothing."

Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed again: "Really not?"

"No." Empress Dowager Shengci said, "But there is one, you should know."

"Uh?"

She knows?
Xiaodong knew only a few brothers from the capital that Zhao Lu often visited, so they were not familiar.

"General Luo's second son is very close to your brother."

Ah, Luo Wei.

This is really very familiar.

Luo Wei is quite suitable as a candidate.First of all, the family background is good, the Luo family has been loyal and famous for generations, the family is very strict, and the family style has always been clean.Luo Wei is the second son, and there is an elder brother supporting the lintel above him, so whether he can take the job or not is not very important.And as far as his own conditions are concerned, he has good facial features, can write with a pen and can fight the enemy on a horse, is in good health and has no bad habits... very good and suitable.

Cough, but Xiaodong doubts that the sixth princess can like Luo Wei?According to the normal aesthetic orientation of today's ladies, a good man should have a snow-skinned appearance—that is, his skin should be fair, his appearance should be beautiful, and he should be able to recite poems and paint in an elegant and interesting manner, and stand out like a jade tree facing the wind.Like King An, like Shen Jing, is one of the best.Such is the custom, men who are not so white have the habit of applying flour in order to catch up with the fashion, and the face is fairer and evener than Xiaodong.Of course, there are also those who are not well-painted, with pale faces, dark necks, and scum falling off when they talk and laugh. This is probably the result of foreigners coming to the capital, trying to be arty and not in place.

Speaking of Xiaodong, thank God, Wang An didn't wear powder, and neither did Zhao Lu and Shen Jing.

There is no market for rough and handsome men in this era. They have thick eyebrows, big eyes, wheat-colored skin, and a strong figure. Although they look good from a modern point of view, don’t you see that Gu Tianle was not popular when he took the white-faced and gentle route. The bottom immediately turned red.But this faction was non-mainstream at this time.Brother Xiangmenban and Qin Lie are representatives of this faction.

The sixth princess's aesthetic orientation is of course not non-mainstream, so of course she would not like Luo Wei like that.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't like his cousin, Xiaodong can't care about others.

Shen Jing is the most outstanding child of this generation of the Shen family in Hedong.Don't say that the Shen family in Hedong doesn't want to do it, and Xiaodong doesn't want to do it either.

"Is that master teaching well?"

"Very good. Master Wu said that my basic skills are already solid, but the fine work is still lacking."

The Empress Dowager Shengci looked at her hands and said, "Don't worry too much, this work hurts your eyes and your hands are tiring. Just do it for a while a day, and take it easy at other times."

Xiaodong smiled and peeled a tangerine, sharing it with the Empress Dowager Shengci.

After making sure that Shen Jing was gone, she was relieved, and when she returned home, she found that there was a guest at home.

Shen Fang came early and has been waiting for her to come back.

"Eh? Elder Sister Fang? Why don't you tell me when you want to come." The day when Xiaodong enters the palace is not too fixed, but today is the day when she has to enter the palace to pay her respects.

"I was just waiting for you to come back." Shen Fang didn't care about the politeness: "Have you got the news? Said the sixth princess..."

Ah, for that.

Xiaodong was relieved, no wonder she ran here to guard.This matter is of great importance, even Xiaodong is worried, and so is she.

"It's nothing, the Queen Mother said that there is no cousin, it's just a rumor."

Shen Fang clasped her hands together and said: "Bodhisattva blesses and thank God." Then she said: "Although it is an honor to honor the princess, the third brother is engaged after all. Besides... the temper of the sixth princess..."

Shen Fang lived in the palace before, and her understanding of the sixth princess is no less than that of Xiaodong.

"When I was still in the palace, I saw it with my own eyes. When the sixth princess was cleaning up for the palace people, she accidentally scratched one of her silk dresses dyed with vermilion plain flowers and beat them half to death..."

Even if she is not a princess, no one wants a daughter-in-law with such a temper.

This is really the irony of the living emperor's daughter not worrying about marrying.

But Xiaodong felt that the princesses and princesses at this time were relatively lucky, at least the princesses of this dynasty did not have to "marry" or "marry".

Since it was confirmed that nothing happened, Shen Fang hurriedly left, Xiaodong said: "Ah, someone sent some wind chicken, sausages and so on the day before yesterday, let someone pretend that you take some back."

Shen Fang said: "Every time I come back, I don't leave empty-handed. If you keep doing this, I won't come next time."

"If you don't come, I'll go to your house."

After sending Shen Fang away, Xiaodong changed his clothes, the house was so hot that he couldn't even wear a jacket.Hongfu came in from the outside with red eyes, and Xiaodong was surprised: "What's wrong with you? Who made you angry?" She immediately guessed: "Is it because Mama Hu scolded you again?"

Hong Fu forced a smile: "It's nothing, I lost my eyes, I rubbed it myself."

This excuse was so old-fashioned that Xiaodong didn't believe it at all.When Hong Fu went out again, she called another person to ask.

"Mother Hu didn't reprimand you," the little maid Biyu said in a low voice, "Sister Hongfu received a letter this morning, it seems to be from her home, saying that her mother has passed away."

Xiaodong's heart sank: "Is that so..."

No wonder...

Waiting to see when no one was there at night, Xiaodong asked Hongfu: "I remember, is your home from the capital?"

Hong Fu nodded and said, "Well, my family lives in Yangji Town, seventy or eighty miles away from the capital."

"Mother Hu and I have a talk about the manager Fu, let someone send you back." She also packed a small bag: "The money is not much, it is a little bit of my heart. Go back and stay for two days before coming back."

Hongfu opened her mouth to speak, but the tears rolled down first.

"Don't cry. You pack up and leave tomorrow."

Hongfu wiped her face, choked and nodded.

The next day Xiaodong talked to Manager Fu, and sure enough, he sent people and a car to take Hongfu away.Mrs. Hu also went to see her off, and added another amount of money, and some clothes, as a burden.Xiaodong embroidered a few stitches and asked, "Mother Hu, is the Yangji place very poor?"

"There, it's not bad. It used to be a mule and horse market, and that's how the sheep market got its name. The people there don't farm much, and some of them do small food and other small businesses, and some do odd jobs. Hongfu’s family had too many children, and they couldn’t support her with seven or eight mouths, so they sold her. At that time, they didn’t ask for much money, and they only said that they would let her eat well and avoid being beaten and scolded.”

Xiaodong felt sour when he heard it, and the needle was inserted at an angle.

Mrs. Hu glanced at her, but didn't try to persuade her, and dragged her to look through the embroidery patterns.After noon, the sky turned cloudy, and seeing that it was going to snow, Xiaodong went to the kitchen and stood there, watched them steam two dishes of dim sum, and brought them to Wang An himself.When she walked halfway, she met someone who told her, "My lord just changed his clothes and went out."

"Oh?" Xiaodong looked at the sky, Wang An clearly said that he would not go out in the next afternoon, could it be that there is something urgent?

"Do you know where to go?"

"Entering the palace."

Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and went back without saying anything, and Wang An didn't come back during dinner.Plum blossoms are spinning around Xiaodong's feet, usually it is so hard to please, Xiaodong will definitely hug it.But today it has turned around countless times, so Xiaodong didn't care.

Xiaodong waited with suspense, and only let go of his worries when he heard that the prince had returned to the mansion.Early the next morning, King An took the initiative to call her over and told her, "Princess Six's marriage is settled."

"Huh?" So fast?

"Who are you marrying?"

"Luo Wei."

Uh?
She thought Luo Wei was the least likely candidate...why...

"The sixth princess got into trouble yesterday and pushed the seventh princess into the lake."

Xiaodong hurriedly asked, "Is Seventh Princess okay?"

At this moment of weather, the lake is frozen.The Seventh Princess is a half-old child, she might die if she falls into it!

"It's hard to say..." Looking at Wang An's face, there must be other reasons for this.

"The sixth princess wanted to make a private appointment with Shen Jing...but then there were twists and turns in the middle."

Why did Shen Jing get involved?
"One more thing."

What else is more serious than Shen Jing getting involved with the sixth princess?Listening to Wang An's tone, this matter is the most important thing.

"The seventh princess...she is not a princess."

What?Xiaodong didn't understand for a moment.

"It's a prince."
