Chapter 8 The real daughter arrives in the capital
Chapter 8 The real daughter comes to the capital
When Manager Liao and Aunt Zhou went to Chenjiacun to pick up Chen Xun, everyone in the capital was watching the excitement and wondering what this real daughter looked like.
After all, Chen Ruowei, a fake daughter, was given a marriage to become the concubine of King Jin, while the real daughter was given a marriage to become Princess Ning. Who wouldn't pay attention to such an honor?
Even though Prince Ning's life is not long in the eyes of outsiders, anyone who marries him will be left a widow, but those who should be envious and jealous will still be envious and jealous.
Although many noble ladies in the capital are unwilling to marry a dying man, they really want the status of a princess.
So what if Emperor Yun Zhao has many sons? Now among the sixteen princes, eleven have already married and have concubines, and there is also Prince Ning who has decided on the candidate for his future concubine.
In other words, there are only four young princes left without a princess. Under such circumstances, how can so many noble ladies in the capital not be interested in the princess's position?
You know, among these princesses, there may be the next queen. Who doesn’t want to be a princess? Who doesn’t want to be a queen?
Prince Ning was very popular in the past, with a face as beautiful as a jade and a noble appearance. Even though he was stationed at the border all year round, he was still very popular.
As a result, when he finally returned to Beijing, he was seriously injured and in a critical situation. The noble ladies actually also had regrets.
But they don't want to marry and be widowed, but they also don't want a village girl who appears out of nowhere to become Princess Ning.
In other words, if the country girl from Pingyang Marquis Mansion becomes Princess Ning in the future, all of them noble ladies will have to bow to her?
What are their identities? What is the identity of that village girl? Is she worthy?
Although the noble ladies were very resentful, the rest were curious about what this village girl looked like.
In fact, the Yong Dynasty did not have that many restrictions on women, so people in the aristocratic circle in the capital had also met Chen Ruowei.
Chen Ruowei's appearance is not bad either. Although she is not as good as the most beautiful woman in the capital, she is still a beautiful woman. People in the capital originally thought that she had inherited the looks of Chen Wendong and Zhao, but now it seems that this is not the case.
So will Chen Wendong and Zhao's biological daughter be more beautiful than Chen Ruowei?
While people in the capital were waiting with great anticipation to see what the real daughter of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion looked like, after two days of traveling, Chen Yu followed Guanshi Liao and the others to the capital.
The clothes Chen Xun wore these two days were basically prepared by Manager Liao and Aunt Zhou. She had changed out of the coarse linen clothes she had been wearing and put on clothes made of silk and satin.
Chen Yun did not feel how miserable she was wearing coarse linen clothes, nor how noble she was wearing silk satin. She just simply felt that satin clothes were more comfortable.
"Cotton clothes are more comfortable." Chen Yu couldn't help but muttered as she changed into satin clothes. Cotton was more sweat-absorbent and softer, which she liked better.
Of course, silk also has its benefits, but she still doesn't understand it now.
After arriving in the capital, Chen Xun secretly opened the curtains of the carriage and looked at the lively scenery outside. She was in a good mood.
The carriage arrived at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion very quickly. Of course, it was impossible to open the door to welcome a junior like Chen Yu, so the store was opened through a side entrance.
When Chen Xun got off the carriage, she keenly felt that there were several eyes looking at her. She looked around and found no one around, so she did not explore the source of the eyes.
In fact, Chen Xun's image is somewhat different from what people in Beijing think. She does not have dark or sallow skin. Her skin is naturally a bit white, and she is not tanned.
Although she is a little thin, she is not skinny and skinny, and she has developed quite well, and her figure is quite graceful for a sixteen-year-old girl.
Of course, the costume has several layers inside and outside, and the clothes are loose, so you can't tell how graceful her figure is, but just looking at her face, you can tell that she looks good.
Chen Xun's appearance is that kind of very beautiful, very aggressive, gorgeous and flamboyant with a hint of seductiveness.
This is also the reason why Chen Xun has not yet married when she is sixteen years old. Most people in the countryside think that she is too beautiful and too aggressive. Some elders think that she is uneasy about her appearance and they prefer to be dignified.
Virtuous appearance.
Chen Yun didn't care at all what those people thought. Anyway, now that her marriage was settled, she might be a free widow in the future. She didn't care what others thought of her.
The most important thing is that she is good-looking and pleasing to the eye. She is actually really satisfied with her face.
She once had a host whose appearance was similar to hers. As a result, people looked at her face and praised her every day. Those who said she was uneasy about how she looked were rejected by her host.
She said she was not good-looking and was jealous of her good looks.
Well, Chen Yu also thinks she is good-looking. No matter what others say, she thinks they are jealous of her good looks.
"Is this the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion?" Chen Xun raised her head and looked at the plaque on the door. She could still recognize the four characters "Pingyang Marquis' Mansion".
Chen Xun has worked with both modern and ancient hosts, so she not only knows simplified but also traditional Chinese characters, and she can also recognize characters in various fonts.
Of course, she just knows how to recognize it. If you ask her to write, she won't be able to write any good calligraphy. She has never practiced calligraphy.
"Girl, the Marquis and his wife are waiting for you." Manager Liao reminded Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was called back to her senses by Manager Liao, nodded and followed them in.
Chen Yu, Manager Liao, Grandma Zhou and others entered the house from the side door, and the eyes peeping at Hou Fuzhen's progress from outside gradually withdrew.
The place around the Hou Mansion is basically a place where high-ranking officials and dignitaries live. Most of them are nobles like Pingyang Hou rather than aristocratic families, but everyone is the same. They are very curious about the affairs of Pingyang Hou Mansion.
Now that they have seen the real appearance of the real daughter of the Hou family, they also have the capital to gossip.
In a courtyard far away from Pingyang Hou Mansion.
"The real daughter of the third room of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion has arrived." A tall and handsome man sat on a chair and said with his upper body lazily leaning on the back of the chair.
"Oh? You arrived today?" Another handsome and charming man responded while ordering tea smoothly, "Have you seen what he looks like?"
"She looks pretty good, and she didn't get close." The man said, "But the little girl is a little thin. She probably didn't eat enough when she was in the countryside."
"For people in the countryside, it's normal for them to be hungry and full." said the handsome and charming man.
"I heard that the future concubine of King Jin is not very peaceful. Now that the real daughter is back, there has been a lot of excitement in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion recently."
