"If I expected it well, the imperial edict sent by the Empress Dowager will come down in the next two days. Then you can go to the palace with me to explore Princess Eryu's words. After poisoning, we will deal with Chen in the future. When Yun Chu was about to be more careful!”
The next day, before the empress dowager's decree came, she waited for Princess Yongning.
The appearance of Princess Yongning was shocked by everyone in the Chen Mansion. When the servant behind Princess Yongning was holding a living geese, the old lady was even more surprised, "Your Highness the Princess is so proud that the Chen Mansion is full of glory, I don't know if the princess mentioned it. Why is a wild geese coming?"
Princess Yongning first greeted politely, and her attitude was very polite, and she looked very respectful to the old lady. "I am here to propose marriage this time."
Princess Yongning calmly lifted the red cloth silk held by the slave behind one by one, "Hehuan, Jiahe, Wuzi, red reeds, cotton wool, dried paint nine pieces, old lady, look at these things But they are all the best. This palace is specially proposed for the prince of the Xiang Prince's Mansion."
The old lady almost fell in shock, "But Master Xun?"
Princess Yongning quickly supported the old lady, "It's Xun Silang!"
The laws on marriage in Liang State are still very strict. First of all, the aristocrats and commoners are not allowed to intermarry, and the aristocrats and commoners are not allowed to intermarry. Therefore, the marriage between the aristocrats is all about official media. The higher the grade of the Iceman (matchmaker), the female party The more radiant she had on her face. Now a noble person like Princess Yongning came to propose marriage in person, which shows how much the man valued the woman!
The old lady had seen strong winds and waves. Although she was extremely shocked, she quickly calmed down. "I wonder who the princess asked for Master Xun?"
"Of course, it's the aunt of the noble mansion!" Princess Yongning praised Chen Yunchu, "That day, the aunt said that the Xiang Prince's Mansion was a guest, and the conversation was very good. The old princess of the Xiang Prince's Mansion was very satisfied with her and asked me to personally ask the palace. I came to the mansion to propose marriage, I wonder what the old lady wanted to do?"
Marriage is the order of parents and the matchmaker. Even if the princes and concubines of the Xiang Prince's Mansion know that Xun Yang and Chen Yunchu have made a private lifelong decision, but for the sake of Chen Yunchu's boudoir, it is naturally impossible to say that Xun Shaoshi is watching. After falling into Chen Yunchu, I can only say that the old princess fell in love with Chen Yunchu and wanted to be her granddaughter-in-law.
The old lady thought, "Our Chu Niang is naturally good. My old woman has always loved her very much. But our Chu Niang is a concubine daughter, so I am afraid that she can't stand the Xiang Prince's Mansion. I don't know if the old princess is going to be the wife or... …”
Logically speaking, Chen Yunchu is a concubine daughter, and it is already considered to be extremely successful in climbing to the most unpopular King of Jin, who is not well-known. Xun Shaoshi is a saint-like figure and will inherit the title of Xiangwang Mansion in the future. Will the king ask their first wife to be the wife, not the concubine?
Princess Yongning saw the old lady's concern and smiled, "Don't worry, the old lady, the old princess said that although Chu Niang is a concubine's daughter, she saw that Chu Niang is no worse than the legitimate daughter of the gentry in Kyoto, not only the old princess. Princess Shanyin was extremely satisfied, and even Prince Xiang praised her, so if the first mother married her, she would naturally be the real wife!"
The old lady is still worried that although the marriage is the order of her parents, she is very bright in her heart. General Chen never expects to climb up the court by relying on Chen Yunchu's marriage, so Chen Yunchu's marriage will eventually be Shen. Yun Chu nodded. Now that General Chen is not at home, she is not good at making decisions without permission. However, she has seen Master Xun, a godlike figure, and is also very good to Chu Niang. It is indeed a good marriage. If she missed this village, there would be no such store. She hesitated and didn't know what to do. "But... the old woman heard..."
At this time, Butler Xu suddenly came to report, "Old Madam, Xu Xiang is carrying a lot of things to come to propose marriage for Wei Zhuang, the eldest son of the Wei family."
The old lady was slightly stunned. Things were all together. She had seen Wei Zhuang. Just because of his romantic and charming peach blossom eyes and his miserable reputation, the old lady disagreed with the Shen Mansion. Jiaojiao married.
Just Xu Xiang--
Although the old lady didn't know much about the previous dynasty, she had heard of Xu Mingchen. He was ranked as the left and right ministers with Wei Zhuang's father, Wei Boyao, and was the leader of all officials. He often heard of him. The two of them often have different political views, but why did they come to propose marriage for Wei Zhuang? The old lady did not dare to offend Xu Mingchen, so she quickly asked someone to invite her in.
Xu Mingchen looked only in his thirties, with a graceful manner and clear eyebrows. He was often called a romantic figure like Xie Anna of the previous dynasty. The gifts listed on the gift list in his hand were the same as those brought by Princess Yongning. , the standard dowry list cannot be found in the slightest mistake. "Old lady, I came to propose marriage for Wei Zhuang, the man in Wei family, and I am asking for the aunt of the noble family."
The old lady looked at Princess Yongning and then looked at Xu Shichen. She was at a loss. Xu Shichen, the prime minister, actually proposed a marriage for Wei Zhuang. There was a hint of contemplation in her eyes, but she was afraid that this matter would not be like the surface. It's very simple.
Princess Yongning attacked first, looked at Xu Shichen with contempt and snorted coldly, "There are a lot of maids and concubines in the Wei family's mansion, and how can she still lack a woman?"
This is a satirical saying that Wei Zhuang is not worthy of Chen Yunchu.
Xu Shichen was not angry either. He shook the folding fan in his hand in a romantic manner. The feeling was somewhat similar to Wei Zhuang, very similar to that of a friend who often mingled with each other. However, Xu Shichen's reputation was pretty good, so he wouldn't be Mixed with Wei Zhuang, "Your Highness Princess, don't follow the crowd. Before the Wei family entrusted his official position, he repeatedly promised that if the Shen family's aunt was willing to marry, he would immediately dismiss the concubine in the mansion, as long as he could confront the Shen family. He didn't mind changing all the maids served in the mansion to ugly ones, from then on, he would be together for a lifetime, and never leave each other until he was old."
Such a promise is the first to be made by the Liang Dynasty. The nobles and nobles of the Liang State, who do not expect a beautiful wife and concubine, and who do not expect the long-lasting descendants to grow up and leave. Even if Zhang Chang and Zhang Xueshu were still at home, he was still wearing a thrush for his wife. He was holding three concubines.
Besides, the couple who are loving in the dynasty, Prince Xiang and Princess Shanyin, Princess Xiang's mansion just did not have prostitutes, and the beautiful concubines still married several of them.
If the husband does not take a concubine, it means that the wife is not virtuous enough and has violated seven rules. The husband's family has the power to divorce his wife and marry another. His noble princess dare not ask for his husband not to take a concubine. Weizhuang, a romantic man who lives in the flowers. The playboy is willing to make such a promise, which shows how sincere he is!
Even Princess Yongning was shocked. After Xu Shi finished speaking, she was stunned for a long time, thinking that although she was the eldest princess of the current saint, she was just a tool for marriage, so she married her husband who was lingering in sickness. After a few years, he became a widow.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Shichen smiled and said, "I heard that Master Xun and the aunt of the Shen family are masters and apprentices. Does Your Highness the Princess make sure that this marriage is in accordance with etiquette?"
Princess Yongning's face turned pale. She had also asked the old lady for this question. What the old lady said was that her mind was blank. She looked at Xu Shichen's handsome face and heard tinnitus.
Xu Shichen shook his fan in a breeze and continued to ask, "Jiaojiao from the Shaoshi Mansion has just died, and the whole mansion is so painful. Is it not the right time to come to the Chenshi Mansion to propose marriage? In fact, Shaoshi Xun is so saintly It is not easy to move a mortal heart, and I am happy for him, but if Xun Shaoshi violated a taboo in human relations, Your Majesty and the people of Liang State will be disappointed, so the princess has asked Your Majesty before coming down. mean?"
The implication is that if Xun Yang proposed marriage at this time, he would ignore his brothers and feet and not follow etiquette. Besides, based on Xun Yang's identity, he was the son-in-law whom His Majesty had long been aiming at. In the future, Princess Yu and the Hairpin will refer to the marriage. Does the Xiangwang Mansion have the right to marry independently?
Wei Zhuang is different. His name is outside, and the harm of noble daughters is the Jiaojiao in the capital, and no one wants to marry him as his legitimate wife. Therefore, if he marrys the Shen family's aunt, he will make his prodigal son turn back and keep his gold. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother both enjoyed hearing about it.
The old lady was obviously moved by Xu Shichen. The power in the court was originally mixed. The Xiangwang Mansion was the only opposite-sex king of the Liang Dynasty. No one could figure out how his Majesty was about the Xiangwang Mansion. How could she let Chu Niang dare to take the world? He married me a lot.
The old lady gave tea for the two matchmakers three times and had already sent Lin's mother to Wutongyuan to ask Chen Yunchu what to do, but the person sent by Lin's mother had not yet come back, and she didn't know what to do.
Xu Shichen was as skillful as a sequel, and Princess Yongning looked as heavy as water, and no one was convinced. The old lady was very troubled. Both of the matchmakers were very noble, so she actually started to pinch her in the Shen Mansion.
Princess Yongning had already jumped out of her thoughts and sneered, "When will it be proposed to marry, it seems that when will the Xun Mansion be in trouble, Lord Xu is too worried. This palace was personally entrusted by the old princess, saying that Xun Mansion was dead because of the funeral. Let’s take advantage of marrying Xun Yang and be happy.”
This excuse is very perfect. Princess Yongning continued, "The Wei family's husband has a great debt to his love. He is willing to win a person who is loyal to him and never get along with each other forever. No matter how beautiful the vows and the relationship between him is nothing but empty words. The name of Master Xun is outside. Never provoked anyone Jiaojiao, that was Liu Xiahui of the current dynasty. No matter how stupid a person is, he knows that he chooses Master Xun as his husband."
Xu Shichen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What a Liu Xiahui. As a husband, I think Liu Xiahui is not a man. Isn't Liu Xiahui's wife facing a pure and greedy sissy all day long? Your Highness is a veteran, You should understand the fun of the boudoir and say that you choose a saint as your husband? Is it really what His Royal Highness said in his heart?"
The old lady almost sprayed out a mouthful of tea, and her indifferent expression was finally broken. Unexpectedly, Xu Shichen would dare to openly tease His Royal Highness the Princess. She wished she was not present and did not hear such unceremonious words.
Princess Yongning was already beautiful, but at this time she was so embarrassed that her face turned red with shame and her cheeks were as bright as smoke. "Mr. Xu, you are rude!"
