When word spread that Ji Xiaowu had entered Taoism and had broken off their engagement, several groups of people came to the Ji family to inquire about Mingwei's marriage.
Mingwei was very surprised when Mrs. Ji mentioned it: "There are still people proposing marriage to me?"
Dong, who was doing embroidery work, smiled: "Cousin, what kind of tone are you talking about? How come no one proposes marriage to a girl in her prime? If you and Xiaowu hadn't been engaged before, the threshold of our family would have been leveled long ago.
Already."
Mingwei said: "But my family background..."
Her cheap father was beheaded for treason, so this is somewhat taboo, right?
"So what? You were pardoned by the emperor himself, so there is no need to worry about it. What's more, you have a large dowry, you have no other relatives except your uncle's family, and you are so beautiful. In the eyes of some people, you are the real one.
complete."
"Oh..." Mingwei thought thoughtfully.
It is a pity not to have a family background, but if the other person has no intention of working hard in his career, it doesn't matter. On the contrary, it will be easier to handle.
Think about it, for a rich and beautiful young lady without a family background, wouldn’t she be at the mercy of her own family when she gets married?
"The families in our area are said to have many official positions, but in fact they all have very little wealth. Some of them marry merchant girls for dowry, not to mention you, cousin?"
Not all officials live in big houses. How can it be so easy to raise a big family? The land in Yunjing is expensive, and just buying a house is a big expense. Many people cannot even afford to buy a house, so they can only rent a house.
In the Jijia alley, there are many officials from out of town, and those who can afford to buy a house are considered good.
Mingwei has an uncle who is a businessman, and a cousin who has a promising future. They are both wealthy and good-looking, so it is perfect for them.
Family background? That is something only the real wealthy people care about. They are still far away!
Ji Xiaowu broke off the engagement, and Coca-Cola upset a lot of people. I don't know how many people laughed at him behind his back, saying that such a good woman didn't want her because she became a Taoist priest.
Mrs. Ji is cutting cloth with her old grandma. March is over and summer is coming so quickly. If we don’t start making summer shirts now, it will be too late.
She said: "Don't worry about those people, all they see is your dowry. Bah! They think you are a money-giving boy!"
Mingwei smiled, sat down with Zhuer, and helped Dong with her needlework.
"Mom, you can't say that. Regardless of wealth, my cousin is also a first-class talent! If they don't look down on my cousin, they are blind."
Mrs. Ji thought about it: "That's true."
Dong continued to ask: "Cousin, what do you think?"
"What do you think?"
Pearl interrupted: "Auntie, I want to ask you who you want to marry."
Ming smiled slightly and pinched her tender cheek: "Zhu'er still knows how to get married? Do you know what it means?"
"Just like mom and dad!" Pearl said, "eat together, sleep together, and have a few more babies."
Mingwei laughed.
Mrs. Dong also laughed: "You girl, you really know a lot."
"That's right." Pearl looked very proud, "I also know that there is a baby in my mother's belly. I don't know if it is a younger brother or a younger sister."
Mingwei looked at Dong in surprise.
Mrs. Dong was a little embarrassed: "Yue is still young, and I don't know when this girl heard it."
"This is such a great joy."
Pearl is already five years old, and her eldest cousin is in his mid-twenties. If it had been someone else's family, he would have been worried.
The topic wandered around, and Mrs. Ji brought it back: "Xiao Qi, what do you think about this matter? If you say something, we can have an idea."
Ming smiled, knowing that they wanted to explore his words.
The marriage here has been called off, is there any drama over there? If there is, it would be better to make preparations in advance.
She said: "It's hard to say now, because there is a difference in status after all."
Mr. Dong nodded. The gap was already big enough before he returned to the clan, but now his identity is even more mismatched.
Although Ji Xiaowu broke off his marriage after becoming a monk, it is not a scandal, but it is not always pleasant to discuss marriage with a woman who has broken off the marriage.
Mrs. Ji said: "You must not be willing to take a step back just because of the difference in status. No matter what status he is, with that difference, he is no longer a human being."
Mingwei replied: "This is natural."
Mrs. Ji sighed: "I don't know how many times your uncle regretted letting your mother marry into a high family. As a result... we don't seek glory and wealth, we just want peace and joy."
Mingwei didn't say much to them. If the situation hadn't forced her to get married, she wouldn't have planned to get married at all. Now it's just a matter of getting a status and delaying it for a few years. If it can be done, she won't be afraid of anything in a few years. If it can't be done, then
Let's all play together.
By the way, I need to find an opportunity to explore my cousin's tone and see if he wants to go out and avoid the limelight.
…
The emperor was also thinking about this matter.
Yang Shu is already this old and still a bachelor, so he can't justify it no matter what.
This kid has always made it clear what he is thinking.
If he didn't know the inside story, he would just accept it. A legitimate wife with no family background is what he feels most at ease with.
But the information from Liao Ying was enough to show that the woman was not simple.
First, the Tianshen Mountain was turned into a river of blood, and then he returned safely after being chased by Su Tu for thousands of miles. Then, on the gravel slope, he just used mystical magic to find a way out.
To be fair, she laid the foundation for Beihu to be pacified.
How can a lady from a famous family, no matter how high her family background is, be able to match this ability?
This is a contribution to the expansion of territory, and it is no longer on the same level.
But this guy made a preemptive strike. As soon as he said that he wanted to get engaged, he let it out first and said that he had a sweetheart.
Among high-ranking officials and dignitaries, who is so shameless and eager to make others uncomfortable?
Coupled with Concubine Pei’s repeated requests...
The emperor definitely can't agree, he just wants to find some reason...
With a thought in his mind, he ordered his chamberlain: "Invite the Imperial Master to come into the palace."
Xuanfei is angry now.
The reason is this.
After the plot was over that night, Mingwei came over to see him.
When Xuanfei saw her, he got angry first and asked: "How to remove that secret technique?"
Mingwei blinked: "What did the Master say? Oh, I don't know about that secret technique either!"
Xuan Fei said angrily: "Don't go too far. I've helped you do everything you promised, but you cheated on me?"
"How can this be called a trap?" Ming said with a smile, "This secret technique just gives us another way to sense each other's danger, isn't it great? I can sense you, and you can sense me, very
That’s fair!”
Xuanfei sneered.
Fair? It sounds like it is, but this secret skill belongs to her! She has long been practicing it calmly, and she can perceive very little. On the contrary, she has a sense of crisis from time to time, feeling that she cannot hide her thoughts at all.
It felt so bad, as if I had no clothes on, and she was looking at everything.
"You're too nervous," Mingwei comforted him. "First of all, you see, what it can sense are vague emotions. Only when both parties have strong and consistent intentions can they share some scenes. Those fragments are not enough at all.
Cause the memory to be leaked. As long as you stay calm, I won't be able to spy on you. On the contrary, once you are in danger, you can immediately let me sense it to carry out rescue. To be honest, if you are not a person who can meet the conditions of secret skill cultivation,
"Master, I don't want to waste it on you yet." (To be continued)
