married daughter

Chapter 185
"The flower viewing banquet at Prince Yu's Mansion is very important this time. You must perform well and not fall behind." The third wife personally combed Xu Ningxia's bun for Xu Ningxia, and took the tender pink silk flowers with side petals to compare with her temples. Bi, put it down, and replaced it with a silver and silky flower head.

Xu Ningxia looked at the bronze mirror and smiled confidently: "Mother, don't worry, my grandmother sent a secret letter to remind me. If I don't argue, I will be sorry for the hard work of my mother and grandmother. Besides, I can't make them always proud. "

When she mentioned them, she was referring to the second wife and the seventh girl, Xu Ningqiao.

"Your grandmother is eccentric. Knowing that this 'Flower Appreciation Banquet' is to choose a concubine for the eldest son, she only invited sister Qiao to go, and let the youngest sister Fang accompany her. No one else knows what her thoughts are? Our family is now Sister Qiao and you are the ones who are suitable for marriage. Sister Fang's going is also a foil and a cover-up. She doesn't allow it, but we still want to go." When the third wife spoke, she had already dressed Xu Ningxia, and she pulled her to stand up, satisfied She smiled and said: "Our Xia'er is naturally beautiful, why is it worse than that thin chaihuo?"

Hearing the words "Slim Chaihuo", Xu Ningxia couldn't help laughing: "If the second aunt heard this, wouldn't she be so angry?" But she agreed very much, Xu Ningqiao has grown tall, and she can only act coquettishly to please the old man. Madam, she is thousands of miles away in appearance, why should she be asked to choose a concubine.

"Okay, let's go, let's go to Pine Age Hall now."

The third wife was all smiles, and Xu Ningxia, who was dressed well, walked towards the Pine Age Hall with the morning dew facing the half-revealed morning sun.

"Old Ancestor, it's almost time. I should go to school." Ruan Yunting stood up and saluted the old lady with a smile as usual.

The second wife served the old lady with japonica rice porridge and eight-treasure side dishes, put down the ivory chopsticks, and praised with a smile: "Ancestor, look at how filial Miss Ting is. I have been back these days, and I have only seen her doing it every morning and evening. Come, no matter how busy you are, don't delay."

"Yes, Ting'er is filial and sensible." When the old lady looked at Ruan Yunting, her eyes were very complicated, with some love and helplessness.

She didn't tell Ruan Yunting about today's flower feast.

Prince Yu and Concubine Wang hosted a flower viewing banquet, and the people who received the posts were all the heads of the famous families with hairpin tassels, and all the guests were women of marriageable age, and their hearts were clearly visible.

The son is sixteen.Men from Daliang State began to discuss marriage at the age of 16.And Ruan Yunting and Han Su have such a good relationship, and Han Su has always been special to Ruan Yunting.

It's just that Ruan Yunting is going to be kept for the draft. Now that she looks much more refined than before, she has a better chance of winning the draft. If she can really enter the palace, the Xu family's position may be more stable.In the past, she had thought of matching Ruan Yunting with an ordinary wealthy family, but now, with such a beauty in front of her eyes, wouldn't it be a waste if she didn't send her to the palace?
In the face of family and affection, as the head of the family, she can only choose the former.

Looking at Ruan Yunting's sincere smiling face, the old lady felt very uncomfortable.I can only think that if she becomes the emperor's woman in the future, her status will be more respected than being the concubine of the son of the world.Besides, she was only 13 years old, even if she went, she might not be selected.

"Okay, Ting'er is going to school quickly, don't be too late. Come to Pine Age Hall when you return home tonight. There is still the black-bone chicken that the imperial concubine gave you, so you can try it too."

"Yes, thank you, ancestor." Ruan Yunting's sweet smile was brighter than ever, and she looked at the old lady with eyes full of dependence and respect, and she bowed and retreated.

In front of the door, Huamei helped Ruan Yunting put on a stone blue plain cloak, Ruan Yunting even smiled politely and greeted Huamei.

After leaving the door of Songling Hall and getting into the small blue sedan chair, the smile on Ruan Yunting's face collapsed, and she couldn't hold back any longer.

So disappointed, really disappointed.

If Xiao Beishu hadn't told her about Han Su's choice of concubine for the flower viewing banquet, she would still treat her as an old lady doting on her, at least she felt sorry for her and wanted to find him a good marriage.

But damn it, she knows everything.And with her status and the current situation, she couldn't say a word to herself.

She has admiration, respect, and friendship for Han Su, but she has not yet developed love.But in this era, how many women who were born in a prominent family can marry the person they like?
Every woman is born as a tool for the family to use. If the status is higher and the appearance is better, the value of the "tool" will be higher. If the status is low, she will sharpen her head and try to make herself the one with high "use value" .When we get married in the future, the husband-in-law may be ten or twenty years older than himself, and he may already have three or four concubines and five or six concubines.If you meet someone who is not sensible, maybe even the bastard will keep it.

Rather than marrying such a person in the future, it would be better to follow Han Su. At least the Han Su she knew had only two concubines, no concubines, and was fairly clean.At least Han Su will respect her, and her stability in this life can be guaranteed.

She has given up hope for love, what she wants is to live in peace, not to die again, not to be ashamed of the chance to be reborn again, and it's good that she can die in the end.

Is her request very high?

The old lady let Qiaojieer go today, one is to explain that the old lady loves Qiaojieer the most, and gave her the opportunity to compete for such a good marriage, and the other is to explain that Qiaojie’s marriage to Han Su will help the Xu family. maximum.That's right, Sister Qiao's father holds the military power after all, if he marries the emperor's relatives, at least he can make the emperor rest easy and help the Xu family.Thirdly, and most importantly, the old lady knew that Han Su liked her and didn't let her go because she had a more important use value for the Xu family. After thinking about it, the only explanation was the draft.

Ruan Yunting smiled wryly, she couldn't learn from Ruan Lingyue, because Lu Guogong was the first to kill her after leaving the protection of the Xu family, but it was really tiring to survive in such an environment.

"Third wife, eighth girl."

The voice of the sedan chair girl came from the ear.

Ruan Yunting came back to her senses, raised the car curtain, smiled and nodded to the third wife and Xu Ningxia: "Madam, eighth girl."

"Hum!" The third wife snorted, and she dragged Xu Ningxia to the Pine Age Hall

Ruan Yunting put down the curtain speechlessly, and said softly, "Let's go."

Her top priority now is to study hard, try to pass the judging exam in June, and give herself more gold plating, and she can only temporarily let go of the rest.

The sedan chair wobbled to the gate, and Ruan Yunting had just changed into the carriage when a hurried voice suddenly came from the house: "Miss Ruan, Miss Ruan!"

"What's the matter?" Ruan Yunting leaned out.

Running all the way was a little girl who hadn't combed her hair yet, panting and touching her chest, pointed in the direction of Pine Age Hall and said: "The old lady told you to go to school separately today, hurry back and freshen up, and get along with Seventh Miss The eight girls went to Prince Yu's Mansion together to attend the flower viewing banquet."

Ruan Yunting was startled when she heard this.There was only one question in my mind, why did the old lady suddenly change her mind.

The main gate of Prince Yu's Mansion was wide open, and exquisite and gorgeous carriages came like flowing water, and the people who got out of the carriages were all gorgeously dressed ladies and daughters.

In the inner garden of the palace, many people have already gathered. They are really dressed and their temples are full of beautiful women, and the peach blossoms on the branches are also ashamed.

Han Su was dressed in moon-white satin and silver silk embroidered dragon embroidered with dragons, with gold inlaid jewels on his waist and a sash hook, and a crystal hair crown on his head. , making him look a little difficult to get close to.

At this moment, he was following the princess.Looking at the bejeweled women in the courtyard, I was very disturbed.He never thought that his father would be in a hurry to choose a concubine for him.He still wanted to wait, at least another year before Ruan Yunting was of marriageable age.

But he couldn't beat his father.Last night in the study, he and Prince Yu broke up again, and if he hadn't seen the tears of his mother and concubine in the end, he would not have given in.What the mother concubine and the father said is also true. As the son of the world, he cannot live only for women in his life, nor can he only have one woman in his life.Although the father did not take concubines, he still had concubines.Not to mention the existence of Jun Lanzhou.

Han Su was just angry that he couldn't do things according to his own wishes.You can't just ask your father to hire the Xu family and make an engagement with Ruan Yunting.

He was very worried, really afraid that Ruan Yunting would be angry with him from now on, ignore him, and not even have the chance to marry her as a side concubine in the future.

"Wen Yuan, this is Miss Dai, the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department." The words of the princess brought Han Su back to his senses.Looking up, I happened to see Yingying, a dignified girl in purple, saluting to herself.

Han Su returned the salute with a cold face.

Dai Xuefei and Xia Fei's cheeks were full of shame.

"The daughter of Zhennan General Xu Xingbang has arrived." Someone outside sang.

Not long after, a tall beauty with a pink round neck brocade gown, a flying fairy bun, and a sweet and heroic smile came in. Beside her was a gorgeous girl in a rose-colored jacket and skirt, full of jewels. .Han Su in front had never seen him before, but Han Su in the back with delicate makeup knew that it was Miss Xu Ba who had bullied Ruan Yunting many times.Seeing her greedy and flattering eyes on him, Han Su felt disgusted.

Is Ruan Yunting not here?Han Su's eyes passed the two of them, and looked towards the door. Not long after, he saw Ruan Yunting wearing a light blue satin double-breasted skirt, and a cloud heron cloak woven with stone blue and silver thread, and walked down side by side with Xu Twelve. While walking on the steps, the cloak blown by the breeze flutters up, and the skirt is close to the body, outlining her slender figure. The snow-white skin matches the elegant and ordinary blue satin, like a drop of ink dripping into the brush, gradually smudged of picturesque beauty.Not to mention the calm and breezy expression on her delicate and pretty face, and her beautiful eyes that were bright and shimmering when they met his eyes.

Han Su looked at everyone for a while, but only at him.Not only him, but almost everyone also stared at Ruan Yunting.

The princess frowned, is that Miss Ruan?It is not suitable to be a concubine when she is young and has a vicious look. If she is just a concubine, it is okay to support the child and not run the family.
