Three days later, the imperial edict granting marriage was indeed issued.
There was an uproar in Beijing!
The marriage between Jiang Qing and Zong Tianbao was already causing quite a fuss at first, so why should it be added to this level again?
Jiang Yinzhi accepted the imperial edict as if his buttocks were burned by fire.
Tong Meng said: "Now that the imperial edict granting marriage has been issued, we are not allowed to resist and disobey the edict under any circumstances. Otherwise, it will be a serious crime for the whole family to be executed!"
Meng was worried, not because of anything else. She knew that Jiang Nuan had a stubborn temper. If she was stubborn and refused to agree, that would be really difficult.
"Master, don't be angry, we still have to talk it over." Meng comforted her husband and said, "If it doesn't work, let's go find the clan family and ask them and their husbands to come forward with us, and finally we can get this thing done."
"If she still refuses and there is no other way, I will have no choice but to file a petition to the imperial court!" Jiang Yinzhi gritted his teeth and said, "I will sue the Cen family and the Zheng family, saying that they are sowing discord and bad marriages!"
At this time Jiang Yinzhi felt that he had been forced to a dead end.
The rabbit bites people when he is anxious. There is no way he would let Cen Yunchu and Xu Chunjun go. If it weren't for them, Jiang Nuan would just listen to their mercy. There would be no need to go to such trouble!
Meng was very thoughtful and said: "I don't need to go into such a big fight, just go over with the imperial edict and ask them if they dare to resist it? Those two are not stupid. Knowing that the emperor has granted marriage, they will definitely let An Nuan come back.
Okay. We don’t have to fight each other, we can’t do it.”
Jiang Yinzhi followed the instructions and took the imperial edict to find Jiang Nuan. Unexpectedly, Jiang Nuan did not resist this time and came back with him happily.
Jiang Yinzhi's face became happy now, and Jiang Nuan's marriage was beyond his expectation. No matter how wishful thinking he had been before, he never thought that his silly daughter could actually marry into the Duke's Palace.
Besides, it was a marriage granted by the Emperor, which put several layers of gold on his face.
Therefore, he treated Jiang Nuan very politely, even to the point of flattering him.
Here Meng is trying to persuade her daughter Jiang Qing.
"Silly boy, have you forgotten what mother often told you? A biting dog doesn't show its teeth. All the joy, anger, sorrow and joy are displayed on its face, and it's obvious that it will suffer!" Meng said earnestly.
"Mom, I know! But I just don't feel angry! Why does she, a country girl, marry better than me? Why does she get married?! The emperor actually granted her a marriage!" Jiang Qing felt extremely unfair.
Even sometimes when she couldn't sleep, she would secretly wonder if Huo Tian was going to propose marriage to her, but was snatched away by that stupid girl.
"These are just false names, so you don't have to worry about them. Although the Huo family is known as the Duke, their family background is not as rich as the Zong family. The Zong family has both parents, and everything has been planned for Tianbao and you. You used to just be your young mistress and enjoy the happiness.
What's wrong?" Meng really tore it apart for her daughter and said, "Do you think Huo Tian's job is a good job? I don't know when she will lead the troops to fight. She may not know which day.
I’m a widow!”
Hearing what her mother said, Jiang Qing finally felt a little happy. She frowned slightly and said, "If that idiot were to become a widow, there would be no one in the Huo family. All the property belongs to us!"
"You're right to think so, my good daughter! We don't want to get angry because of the gains and losses of this city and one place, let's just look at it later!" Meng's most adhering to the saying is that the winner is the one who laughs to the end.
Jiang Qing wanted to laugh too, but suddenly a wave of nausea came over her and she hurriedly covered her mouth.
When Meng saw it, he quickly asked: "What's going on? What's wrong with you?"
"Tell them to take away the snacks on the table. The smell makes me sick," Jiang Qing said nonchalantly.
But Meng was someone who had been here before, and when he saw this situation, he could tell something was wrong: "How long has it been since your monthly letter came?"
Jiang Qing was shocked when she caught her mother's gaze.
Gu Huo
When she and Zong Tianbao had something to do, it was about ten days after Yue Xin, and now more than twenty days have passed. It should have come a long time ago, but because there have been so many things recently, she ignored it.
"Mom, could I be..." Jiang Qing was a little nervous, "What if... what should I do?"
She was worried for no reason. Originally, there were different opinions outside about her marriage to Zong Tianbao.
Some people say that the Zong family broke off the engagement because Jiang Nuan was not able to gain traction.
But not many people say this, and more people think that Jiang Qing and Zong Tianbao must have done something scandalous, which is why they quit Jiang Nuan and marry Jiang Qing.
Otherwise, the Zong family only needs to break off the engagement, and at worst they won't need the bride price. They can't afford to marry their younger sister again, making it nondescript and making people laugh.
And once Jiang Qing's pregnancy is known to others, it will be confirmed.
How will she meet people in the future?
Of course what Jiang Qing could think of, Meng also thought of it, so she said, "Don't panic, I'll go to the clan and discuss it with them. This is not only about your face, but also the face of his clan."
In fact, she had this purpose in mind when she originally designed the Keng Zong Tianbao.
When Mrs. Zong heard about it, although she was very upset, she had no other choice at this time.
I found a reliable doctor and took Jiang Qing's pulse to confirm that she was pregnant.
As a result, the wedding date can no longer be postponed. Originally, I was thinking of not getting married until next year or the end of the year.
In this way, we can only arrange it until next month. In this way, Jiang Qing will give birth to the baby seven months after getting married, and she can still tell the public that she was born prematurely, but there will be no way to cover it up later.
So the day when Jiang Qing and Zong Tianbao got married was set on March 12th.
Who would have thought that after hearing this, Huo Tian also set the date for marrying Jiang Nuan on the same day.
The emperor granted him a marriage, but he did not specify a day and asked him to choose a day to get married.
Huo Tian is just waiting for the Zong family to set a date!
Jiang Yinzhi didn't feel anything after hearing this, but Meng was unhappy. This boy named Huo had no good intentions, and he obviously wanted to make his daughter look bad.
But what can she do? She has no choice but to endure it.
As soon as the wedding date was set, someone from the Huo family came, two mothers-in-law and two maids, who were sent here to take care of Jiang Nuan.
The leader's wife's surname was An. As soon as she entered the door, she said unceremoniously: "We are here to serve the unmarried lady on the orders of the father-in-law. I know that you, a small family, don't have so many servants to call on. Besides, we live so far away from each other." It's close, and everything has to be taken care of by someone. Mrs. Jiang doesn't have to worry too much about things here, just take care of things for your daughter."
Everyone knew in their hearts that this was obviously to prevent Meng and the others!
After An's mother and the others arrived, Huo Tian sent more than thirty people to carry boxes and cages to Jiang's house the next day.
There are all kinds of jewelry and clothing materials inside, allowing Jiang Nuan to choose whatever she likes.
How could Jiang Nuan choose these? Besides, there were too many, so he called Cen Yunchu and Xu Chunjun for help.
