Chapter 83

Since a portrait can be left behind, the appearance, manners, and upbringing must be good, and it is even more rare that it comes from the Duke Wei's mansion that is declining in the west.Wei Guogong's mansion is the founding father of the country, but now the family is neglected, and three generations of the Xu family are mediocre, without outstanding talents.Xu Li's father, Xu Shiheng, Duke of the State of Wei, was soft in nature and looked like a frail scholar. He was forty years old and had no achievements.Xu Li has only one younger brother, Xu Lang, who is on the same page as Xu Shiheng.

Still, you have to meet real people.The first time to marry a wife is completely teased by others, but the second time to marry a wife must be cautious, at least choose a woman who is pleasing to the eye. "I don't ask you to have hills and valleys in your chest, but I hope you are not an ignorant woman with boring words." The emperor looked at the slender and decent young girl in the portrait, and sighed.

If you are busy with government affairs, you can have a bright and intelligent woman by your side, and watch the spring flowers and autumn moon together, what a wonderful thing it would be!A beautiful woman appeared in the emperor's mind, with a graceful figure as if she was too weak to wear clothes, but she was courageous and insightful when she was about to act, she was stronger than a man with eyebrows.

Unfortunately, Luo Fu has a husband.Since I am determined to be the Son of Heaven, I have no choice but to put aside my thoughts and don't make good plans.The emperor smiled wryly, and tried his best to get this chair, so what?All day long, he immersed himself in filing the case files, either worrying about flooding in this province, or drought in that province, or worrying about the resurgence of wars on the border.It is not easy to be the king of a country. If you want the country to be peaceful and the people safe, and if you want to pass on the foundation created by Emperor Taizu for a long time, you must win people's hearts.Nothing can be done that violates human relations and is unreasonable.

Queen, is she honorable?Is it every teenage girl's dream?It is also rumored that Zen Master Dahui, an eminent monk at Minzhong Temple, divination for a young girl, saying that her fate is "unspeakable".What kind of woman's fate is indescribable, to be a queen?The emperor shook his head distressedly, it just so happens that some people avoid this seat, what is the "expensiveness" of this seat?

A few days later, the Empress Dowager held a banquet in the palace, inviting Mrs. Wei Guogong, Mrs. Han Gong, Mrs. Jiang Xiahou, Mrs. Han Shangshu, Mrs. Qian Ge, etc. to enjoy flowers and have a banquet. Of course, these ladies all brought their own daughters.The benevolent and gentle Empress Dowager looked good, and they were all as delicate and bright as a flower.

The Korean lady’s ears are particularly sharp, as if she could hear someone speaking vaguely behind the marble screen, "...the one in the light yellow dress is Miss Li...the one with the slimmest figure is Miss Qi..." She not only Her ears are pointed and her eyes are also sharper than others, and she watched the corner of the black dragon robe brushing by under the screen with her own eyes.Mrs. Han Han looked at the impeccably beautiful face of her eldest daughter Wu Yuru calmly. Which man would not be tempted by such a magnificent girl?
The clothes and jewelry of Xu Li, the eldest lady of Duke Wei's mansion, are all clean and elegant, unpretentious.She sat quietly beside her mother, Mrs. Wei Guogong, changing hot tea for her mother from time to time, serving her very thoughtfully and considerately. "Although everyone is good, if you talk about maturity and prudence, you are still Miss Xu." The Queen Mother saw it and nodded secretly.

After hearing that Zen Master Dahui of Minzhong Temple approved a girl's fate, she said it was "unbelievably expensive".Someone asked the girl's name, but Zen Master Dahui smiled and did not answer. When asked anxiously, he only said "surname Xu".Could it be...?The queen mother looked at Xu Li again, and the more she looked, the more pleasing she was.

After the banquet, the emperor quickly made a decision, "Mother, what do you think of Miss Xu?" Her eyes were firm and her demeanor was calm and serene. She should be a good woman with integrity and a heart.The empress dowager was so relieved that the emperor was raised by herself after all, exactly as she thought! "He knows the general situation." The queen mother praised.The mother and son reached a consensus and agreed on Miss Xu. "As for the nine concubines, you don't need to be noble daughters from aristocratic families, you can still choose from the family of small officials, and it's all up to your mother." The emperor solemnly entrusted it, and the queen mother solemnly agreed.

The etiquette of canonizing the queen is cumbersome, and the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, Qin Tianjian, etc. are all busy, and they are all on their backs. "Is the emperor marrying a daughter-in-law different from ordinary people marrying a daughter-in-law?" An Zan came home late again this day, Xie Yu asked curiously.A few days ago, Yue Pei and Shen Maiyang had Dudu Hu's wife as a matchmaker, and they had come to An's house to make a small engagement ceremony.Xie Yu and Zhang Yu secretly set up a ladder and looked outside the window. Isn't the little gift just like the man's family sending two boxes of jewelry and two boxes of clothing materials, and the woman's family writing a post and sending them back gifts, isn't that the way it is? ?It's not a waste of money.The emperor spent a lot of money to marry his wife back, where did the money go?
Tan Yingheng glanced at the words, and said angrily, "Is this what girls should ask?" An Zan smiled, and explained gently, "If the emperor canonize the queen, if she is the original spouse, it is almost the same as marrying a private wife." On the day of marriage, the bride's family will take a sedan chair to carry them into the palace from the main gate, and enter the bridal chamber at night.However, the emperor did not hold wedding banquets or entertain guests when they got married.

She has been so used to her since she was a child!Tan Ying glared at An Zan, then hugged An Rushao, "Shao'er is sleepy, isn't he?" An Rushao nodded in a daze, was carried by Tan Ying to wash up, and went to bed.

Xie Yu was a little confused, "Then Miss Xu, is she considered the original spouse or the step-wife?" What kind of treatment did the emperor give her?It's not easy to say Miss Xu, Zen Master Dahui of Minzhong Temple, the price is very high, tsk tsk, these words of "fate is precious" and "unspeakably expensive", I am afraid that the price is high.

"The emperor ordered to handle it with the etiquette of the Empress Yuan." An Zan said with a smile.It seems that the emperor attaches great importance to this empress.It's just that no matter how important it is, it can't compare to Jiangshan Sheji.In the heart of the emperor, the beloved woman can be parted at any time.Does Tang Xuanzong value Concubine Yang Gui?Naturally, it is important, but when it really comes to "the six armies have no choice but to do nothing", they can only "die like a crescent eyebrow".

Miss Xu's painstaking efforts were not in vain, and she finally earned a "Gift of Empress Yuan".Xie Yu was feeling overwhelmed, Tan Ying tidied up An Rushao and came back, "Don't worry about others, your marriage is the most important thing. How much embroidered wedding dress? Bed curtain? Pillowcase? Which one is embroidered? "Zhang Yu is anxious to get married, Mrs. Hu Dudu has come to the door several times to talk about the dowry, and said, "Uncle Shen only has this adopted son, and he is very anxious", which probably means that he will invite him soon after the engagement Wait, don't you hurry up and get ready for the dowry?

Xie Yu grimaced and said, "Not yet." Not at all.In fact, this body can be used as a female worker, but, alas, I really don't want to use needles and threads.If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. With parents who dote on you so much and a big beard that is obedient, why do you force yourself?
An Zan said gently, "It's getting late, let Xie Yu go back to his room and rest." He sent Xie Yu away.Tan Ying looked at An Zan with a half-smile, and An Zan advised her, "Why bother? Xie Yu married and was not picky by her mother-in-law. The young couple lived a clean life, and it's okay to be self-willed."

"There is no mother-in-law, but there is a father-in-law." Could it be that the father-in-law is not picky?On the face of it, you have to get by.Tan Ying is a mother, so her thoughts are unavoidably delicate. She is afraid that Xie Yu will be so lazy and be disgusted by Yue Pei and Shen Mai after she gets married.

An Zan was happy.Not to mention Shen Mai, like an old urchin, being with Wuji is not like a master and student, not like a father and son, but like two friends with similar temperaments.Yue Pei has always doted on Wuji, as long as Wuji agreed, Yue Pei never said "no". "These two, are you still afraid that they will find fault with Xie Yu?"

Tan Ying also found it a little funny, "Am I just worrying about it?" Besides, Yue Pei lived in Jingning Hou's Mansion, and Shen Mai lived in Wuji's neighbor temporarily, and would move to Dongchangbo Mansion in the future.They don't live in the same place, they don't meet much, and Xie Yu is really lazy, and they may not know it.

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, and went back to the room to rest hand in hand.An Zan left early the next day, and Tan Ying began to carefully calculate Xie Yu's dowry one by one.She had just started making the list, when An Ruming came back, "Auntie, don't need to measure, all kinds of household items have been packed." He was ordered to go to the neighbor's house to measure the bed, table, table, and various household items for Xie Yu. Zhiyue's family was already prepared. "The Marquis of Jingning ordered people to build it from the year before last, and it was only completed a few days ago." The cabinets, cabinets, tables, and beds are all made of high-quality mahogany. The workmanship is exquisite and eye-catching.

Tan Ying was taken aback.Cabinets, cupboards, tables, and beds are always prepared by the women's family, but Jing Ninghou has already prepared them?This is really unexpected.When An Zan came back at night, he couldn't help but mention to him, "It was supposed to be done by us." Why did the husband do it.An Zan smiled and said, "It's okay, just fold a bank note and give it to your in-laws." The construction started the year before last, and counting the days, it was when Wuji and Jieyu returned to Beijing while he was still in prison.Jingninghou must have long been looking forward to marrying his daughter-in-law.

Yue Pei really couldn't wait to marry his daughter-in-law, and so did Shen Mai.Mrs. Hu Dudu came to the door again and asked, "March 28 is a good day, how about letting it go?" An Zan found Huang Li to have a look, and saw that "everything is suitable" on that day, so he had a kiss with Tan Ying. agreed.On March 28, the Anjia yard was filled with large and small boxes and cages, including countless gold and silver jewelry, jade articles, precious ornaments, fur clothing materials, scented tea, fruit, reunion cakes, sheep wine, and dry goods from the north and the south.Tan Ying looked at the things in the yard and was a little worried, "There are so many, where should I put them?" How to put them away?

Lu'an Marquis Mansion.

Fu Jieyi's expression was liaoluo, "Mother, father is still not in the mansion?" Are you hiding from Mrs. Tai?Mother and son, what kind of overnight hatred can there be?The Marquis always lives in other courtyards, how decent it is.

Mrs. Lu said weakly, "I'll take care of him, just let him go." With so many important events in front of him, who would have the leisure to worry about whether Fu Shen would go home or not.What happened when he came back, what happened if he didn't come back?There is not much with him, and there is not much without him.

Fu Jieyi looked at the dejected Mrs. Lu, suppressed the anger in his heart, and persuaded, "The past is over, it's useless to think about it, don't blame yourself anymore." Ever since Mrs. Jingning Hou passed away, her own mother has been like this "How can it be false that even the Empress Dowager knows about it? Is it true that the original spouse is still alive in your house, and there is still an eldest daughter living outside? This, this..." How can we get married like this?Madam Gu was so anxious that tears almost came down.Finally, hide your face and go.

"Good girl, it's your mother who hurt you." After Madam Gu left, Madam Lu said these words to Fu Jieyi over and over again like she was in a trance.Mrs. Lu blamed herself deeply, she wanted to punish An Jieyu on the spur of the moment, but she did not expect to implicate Fu Jieyi.Such a good marriage in the Jingning Hou Mansion is gone, what should I do if I understand, what should I do if I understand?
