Chapter 1103: I will obey you even if I dont support the wall (3)
Mrs. Zhen Guohou could imagine that during the next six rites, King Xin would have many chances to meet them by the way.
At that time, this kid will be able to save all the money including receiving Cai Cai, asking for names, accepting Na Ji, accepting Zheng, asking for appointments, and personally welcoming.
If she guessed correctly, King Xin would accidentally choose the same day as King Zhou to send the betrothal gift and get married.
It’s just so that you don’t have to pay any money and can give yourself some face.
The thought of someone shamelessly trying to take advantage of the king of Zhou to marry a wife made the Marquis of Zhenguo an old woman in her heart, unable to spit it out or swallow it down.
She carefully mentioned the marriage proposal of King Zhou, and sure enough, Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed and agreed.
Since the matter was settled and she was in a good mood, Mrs. Zhenguo also told her about King Xin's proposal to Qu Wanyue. .??.
When she heard that the person proposing marriage to Qu Wanyue was King Xin, Mrs. Zhao was so excited that tears filled her eyes and she nodded repeatedly. She seemed even more eager than when she had just heard about King Zhou's proposal of marriage.
Mrs. Zhen Guohou felt a little depressed, thinking that Mrs. Zhao didn't know about King Xin's affairs, so she hurriedly mentioned the matter about King Xin to Mrs. Zhao in a vague way.
Who knows, Zhao agreed precisely because she knew everything about King Xin.
King Xin's mother was a foot-washing maid, and King Xin's existence came into being when the emperor got drunk and got into trouble.
Originally, the emperor wanted Xinwang's mother to have an abortion, but whoever expected Xinwang's life was very lucky. After three bowls of red flowers, his mother didn't suffer at all.
After the chief steward found out about this, he quickly reported the matter to the emperor. After hearing this, the emperor sneered and let him stay.
At first, everyone thought that the emperor's move was because he did not want to let down the favor of God.
But who knows, the emperor left a letter to Wang and his mother just to warn him that he must restrain himself in the future, otherwise his life will be like the letter
Such an indelible stain on Wang.
There are rules in the palace that a woman who gives birth to a prince can be promoted three levels in a row from her original position.
It is believed that the king's mother was a foot-washing maid, and even if she was promoted to three levels, she would only become a sweeping woman.
The queen was also a bit dumbfounded by this, and knowing that the emperor did not like to see the foot-washing maid, she could only give her the title of a true concubine of the fifth rank, and assigned her to a small hall next to the cold palace, letting her take her with her.
The son left to fend for himself.
Thanks to his mother's fault, King Xin has been disliked by others since he was a child. Although he is called a prince, he is bullied by everyone.
Since his mother was not qualified to open a small kitchen, he had never had a hot meal before he moved out of the palace.
When he was twelve years old, his father finally discovered that he had such an eldest son without a branch house after being reminded by the chief steward.
So he hurriedly gave him a letter and kicked him out of the palace.
It has to be said that the size of the princes' mansions after they were divided, and the monthly stipends received by the princes who did not participate in politics were almost the same.
The only difference is the size of the fiefdom and the newness of the mansion.
King Xin stood in front of his dilapidated house that could fall down if pushed, feeling that his life had reached the highest point of misfortune.
King Xin kept comforting himself in his heart that it didn't matter. His father was getting older and his memory was getting worse, so he gave himself such a haunted house.
Moreover, apart from being an old fool, there is no way to explain why everyone else has more or less county fiefdoms, but his father didn't even give him a toilet!
Although I feel extremely sad,
But we still have to continue to live a good life.
Since there was no way out, King Xin had to start a new life of frugality and hard work in the capital.
What if he doesn't work hard? Before winter, he should at least build himself a woodshed.
Otherwise, where will he live when it snows in winter?
I hope that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will think of him as an unpopular prince, so he might as well find a rope and hang himself at the door of the royal study.
In that case, his father's attention to him might even be higher.
King Xin lived in such a miserable way for eight years.
The other princes with fiefdoms had already been sent to their fiefdoms, and he was the only one who was still saving money from his teeth to repair his own yard.
In the past eight years, he had been frugal and frugal. Whenever the palace invited a prince to come back for a dinner party or come to the palace to see his mother, he would go hungry for two days in advance. ??
In this way, as long as you eat an open stomach in the palace, you will have two days of food left after you come back.
It takes more than four days inside and outside. For him, all he saves is money!
The only good news is that after his disdainful efforts, when he was twenty years old, he finally used his salary to repair all the dilapidated prince's palace.
But there's more bad news.
Through his years of unremitting efforts, his reputation for being poor and stingy has spread throughout the capital.
And the yard he repaired first had begun to collapse due to being unoccupied all year round and not being properly maintained!
In other words, Xinwang’s new round of saving money is about to begin.
King Zhongxin began to collapse at the thought of having to fall into the abyss of building a house again. Why did his father give him such a big house?
Doesn't the father not want to see him? Wouldn't it be nice to only give him a small courtyard with three entrances?
As a result, King Xin, who was extremely poor, took advantage of others for almost everything, and this time it involved King Zhou's marriage.
It's just that what he's getting for this time is a bit big, a wife, a bunch of dowry, and two father-in-laws and future brothers-in-law who are both capable of holding him in his lap.
When she thought of King Xin's poverty, Mrs. Zhao became very happy.
Marrying Qu Wanyue to King Xin will not only make her life difficult, but also make the master unable to find fault with the identity of his future son-in-law.
These are simply the two good uncles God gave her!
In this way, Madam Zhenguo Hou left the Dingyuan Hou Mansion in a state of confusion. Even she herself did not expect that things would develop so smoothly today, so smoothly that she could not believe it.
However, the marriage has only gone smoothly up to this point.
Just when the two marriages were proceeding in an orderly manner, something happened to the king of Zhou, and he was carried back from the battlefield.
It is said that he was ambushed by a local, and although he successfully annihilated the enemy, he injured his spine and may have to lie in bed for the rest of his life.
His originally handsome face was also ruined, and he could only hide himself behind a mask all day long.
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she was very anxious and hurriedly took Qu Wanting to visit the patient.
As a result, the furious King Zhou beat him out with a teapot.
At this time, King Zhou couldn't see anyone at all. He just wanted to stay alone in the house quietly, and didn't want anyone to see him change from a proud man to the useless person he is now.
After Mrs. Zhao came out of Prince Zhou's Mansion, she held Qu Wanting and cried heartily for a long time. Even if the other party was a prince, she did not want her daughter to marry a useless person.
