Chapter 892
After the Lantern Festival, the weather began to warm up. In response to Zao Zao's strong request, Ji Ji's ceremony was very simple, and he only planned to invite a dozen or so guests including the Han family and Mrs. Feng.
Liu'er took the banquet list and said to Yuxi: "Mother, are there too few guests here?" Jijili only invited a dozen or so guests, which was too shabby.
Yuxi said helplessly: "If I hadn't said that the marriage can only be done after the ceremony, she would not want to do it, saying it was a waste of time. Forget it, simple is better than nothing." Since the twelfth lunar month, Zaozao has been in Yuzao Xi whispered in his ear that the Jiji ceremony should be done simply, not to invite too many people, and Yuxi got annoyed by the recitation, so he followed her wishes. If you save time and work hard, you will be blamed after exhausting yourself.
Liu'er was depressed, and said: "I don't even know what eldest sister thinks?" Jiji Li is an important hurdle in their lives, how can it be so simple!
Yuxi said: "Don't guess what she thinks, you can't guess. But your mother will take care of your wedding ceremony."
Liu'er said: "I'm going to make my mother suffer again." It will take a lot of work to make the Jiji ceremony lively.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Your wedding ceremony will not be until the end of next year, and your father will definitely be in Pick City by then. Mother will take care of it for you when she has time."
Liu'er thought for a while, then asked: "Mother, I heard that the Beiyao people are very fierce, and we have never taken advantage of them. Will it be very dangerous for Dad to send troops to Beiyao this time?"
Yuxi smiled and touched the back of Liu'er's head: "I have confidence in your father, and you should also trust your father." For this battle, Yuxi is full of confidence.
It's not that Liu'er doesn't believe it, but she's a little worried, not to mention that this time, Ah Hao will also follow her. But looking at Yuxi's determined expression, she dared not say unlucky words.
On the day of Zao Zao and Ji Li, all ten people invited came. Lu Xiu entered the mansion, looked at the empty living room, and couldn't help asking Yuxi: "Why is it so deserted?"
Yuxi said with a smile: "Zaozao's gift is very good, because she only invited a few familiar families at her request. Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Cui haven't arrived yet."
Lu Xiu asked: "You are too indulgent with Zao Zao." Among the six children, in the eyes of outsiders, Zao Zao is the most favored.
Yuxi smiled wryly and said: "There is nothing I can do. That girl, I don't care about it at all now. She doesn't want to make a big fuss, so she can't force it! Forget it, just treat it as I owe her, wait for it I'll be free after marrying her in two years." This was said as if jujube was a burden.
Having said all this, Lu Xiu couldn't say anything more. But when she saw that Wu Kuo's wife Fang Shi was among the invited guests, she felt a little weird.
There is a procedure in the Jiji ceremony, which is to listen to the teachings of parents. Yun Qing looked at Zao Zao, and said: "Your mother and I have followed your wishes in everything, and you will make less trouble in the future..." Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his waist, pinched by Yu Xi. Yun Qing quickly changed his tune and said: "From now on, we should listen to your mother more and make less trouble. Don't let your mother worry."
Zao Zao lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Yuxi said with a smile: "After today, you will be a big girl. In the future, you must be good and set an example for your younger brothers and sisters."
Zao Zao obediently agreed.
After the ceremony was completed, Zao Zao immediately went back to the house and changed the heavy clothes on her body. Zaozao complained to Qiuhe: "This layer after layer of clothes is actually heavier than my armor." This is a bit exaggerated, but because of the long sleeves and long skirts, it is easy for Zaozao to walk. Very inconvenient.
Hong Dou looked at Zao Zao's dress made of gold brocade, and said: "The princess is really blessed and doesn't know how to be blessed. How many people will never be able to wear such good clothes in their lifetime." Not to mention the expensive material, It's just that this embroiderer is very rare.
Zao Zao frowned and said, "I also think it's a waste.
"Such a piece of clothing is put in the bottom of the box after wearing it once, it is not a waste.
Red beans are speechless.
The guests went back after lunch. Yuan Ying's wife, Mrs. Xiao, deliberately followed Ling Ruoyun. On the way, Mrs. Xiao asked in a low voice: "What do you mean the concubine invited Mrs. Fang to attend the Jiji ceremony of the princess?" The ten wives Yuxi invited were all of status, except Mrs. Fang.
Ling Ruoyun shook his head and said, "I don't know about that either."
Xiao didn't believe Ling Ruoyun's words. Xu Wu is the commander of the guards of the palace. What can escape her eyes: "I heard that the princess intends to betroth the princess to the second young master of the Wu family? I don't know if it is true. real?"
Ling Ruoyun was surprised: "There is such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it?" If Ling Ruoyun didn't know it was a lie, after all, Zao Zao took someone to Wu's house back then. But Xu Wu really didn't tell her about Zao Zao and Wu Jinyu.
Seeing that Ling Ruoyun was pretending to be stupid, Mrs. Xiao knew that she was speechless: "Maybe it's just a rumor!" If it was a rumor, it would be strange!
In the palace, Lu Xiu accompanied Yuxi to send the guests away, and also asked Yuxi: "Princess, today the princess and Jili invited Mrs. Wu over. Is there any special reason?" Mainly Fang's Appeared too abruptly.
Yu Xi hummed and said: "After the ceremony, the Wu family will invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage for Wu Jinyu." Anyway, it's only these two days, if I don't talk about it now, Lu Xiu will know about it two days later.
Lu Xiu was very surprised, and said: "Why did the princess marry the princess to the Wu family?" Even if the money she got before was from the Wu family, but after getting along with each other these years, she didn't think Yuxi was a prostitute. People who read 00ks].
Yuxi deliberately sighed and said: "It's not that I want to marry her to Wu's family, it's that Zaozao has fallen in love with Wu Jinyu. For this reason, the prince has lost his temper. It's just that I can't help my mother, It's Wu Jinyu who makes her fuss, and she can only do what she wants."
Lu Xiu had heard this rumor before, but she didn't quite believe it, but she didn't expect it to be true. This is about to be engaged, so she won't say anything unpleasant. Lu Xiu smiled and said, "This is also the fate of the two children."
Yu Xi hummed and said: "Jin Yu's child is pure and good-natured, and it matches Zao Zao. Now I only hope that this girl can accept her temperament after getting engaged."
Lu Xiu smiled and said, "Yes, I will."
The next day, Fang invited the most famous official media in Gaocheng to the palace to propose marriage. Because it was something that was agreed a long time ago, it went smoothly. It only took ten days from the matchmaker's visit to the finalization of the marriage. Because Yuxi wanted to keep Zaozao until she was eighteen and remarry, the date of marriage was not fixed.
When Zao Zao's marriage was settled, nothing surprised her more than the triplets. Brother Yu suddenly said: "Don't wonder why I said last time that the eldest sister turned black and she was so nervous, so it is like this!"
Brother Rui didn't understand, and asked: "What do you mean?" What does this facial ointment have to do with engagement.
Brother You gave you a stupid look at Brother Rui, and then said: "This Wu Jinyu must be the eldest sister's favorite. I said she turned black, so she was so eager to ask mother to apply ointment. .”
Brother Xuan said very curiously: "Second Brother, Ah You, what do you think is so special about this Wu Jinyu that he would be favored by the eldest sister?" .
Brother Rui thought for a while and said: "This man's martial arts must be better than Eldest Sister's. If not, I can't stand Eldest Sister's temper!" Eldest Sister is the most domineering, always bullying them.
Brother Xuan thinks it makes sense: "Wait for an opportunity, let's go meet this future big brother-in-law." The triplets have two days off every month. Since last year, Yuxi no longer restrains them. go out and play. Of course, the premise is to bring a good guard.
Brother Yu said: "Brother must have seen this Wu Jinyu, let's go and ask him." There is nothing in the mansion that can be hidden from his elder brother.
The triplets went to Jingyuan Hall and asked Brother Hao, "Brother, what will your future brother-in-law look like?"
After the marriage was settled, Brother Hao no longer shy away from it: "You are very beautiful." It is not a good sign to describe a man's appearance as beautiful.
Brother Rui hurriedly asked: "What about martial arts? Is the martial arts of the eldest brother-in-law very high in the future?" No matter what, he must beat the eldest sister.
Brother Hao shook his head and said: "He has never practiced martial arts, he has only studied for a few years, and he likes to stay at home and tend flowers and plants on weekdays."
"Ah..." This result greatly exceeded Brother Rui's expectations.
Brother Yu has never been shy about speaking: "Brother, is it because the future eldest brother-in-law is good-looking that the eldest sister has taken a fancy to him?" It's just that Zao Zao is so beautiful.
Brother Hao avoided this topic and said: "I asked my mother about this, and my mother said that the second young master of the Wu family has a gentle temperament and a good temper, and he is also suitable for the eldest sister." Before arriving at Wu's house, Brother Hao would never call Wu Jinyu his brother-in-law.
Although Zao Zao often beats Brother You to the point of being full of hair, in fact, Brother You has a deep affection for Zao Zao: "Brother, does he like Eldest Sister?" become.
Brother Hao said with a smile: "The eldest sister saved the second young master of the Wu family, and she is his savior, so the second young master of the Wu family is also very happy with this marriage." Speaking to the triplets.
Brother Rui was very surprised: "When did this happen?" Hearing that it happened a few years ago, Brother Rui couldn't help sighing: "What a coincidence!"
Brother Xuan was very curious, and interjected a sentence: "Brother, you said that the eldest brother-in-law is good-looking, how good-looking is it? Is there any second sister who is beautiful?" Liu'er was the most beautiful in the family. It was Qihao.
Brother Hao said: "There is no comparison, you will know when you meet."
Two days after the marriage was settled, there were rumors outside that Yunqing and Yuxi sold their daughters for money.
Seeing Xu Wu, Ling Ruoyun told the rumor: "Master, is it really Wu's family who got the money before?" That huge sum of money had appeared in front of everyone, so everyone in Hao City knew about it.
Xu Wu hummed and said: "It's true, the money is indeed from the Wu family." The princess never thought of hiding this.
Ling Ruoyun asked cautiously: "Then the rumors outside are also true?"
Xu Wu only had four words: "It's nonsense. Wu Jinyu was the princess's favorite. As far as the princess's character is concerned, if she disagrees, it's useless for the prince and princess to force her."
Ling Ruoyun still believed in Xu Wu: "So it's just a coincidence?"
Xu Wu hummed and said: "Originally, the concubine was planning to compensate the Wu family, but it happened that the princess took a fancy to the second young master of the Wu family, so this marriage was fulfilled."
Ling Ruoyun said with a smile: "In this way, the Wu family will be compensated and the princess' marriage affairs will be resolved. Wangfei's action can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."
Xu Wu heard these words harshly, and said with displeasure: "What kills two birds with one stone is just a coincidence."
Seeing this, Ling Ruoyun avoided the topic: "I received a letter from my elder brother this morning, saying that my younger siblings have given birth to a fat boy again." Ling Ruoyuan got a job as magistrate of a county in Yangzhou, south of the Yangtze River last year, and took his wife and children to take up the post.
After Ling Ruoyuan left, Zhen's life was not easy. The two sons born later encouraged her to go to Ling Ruoyun. It's a pity that Zhen Shi was sent to prison by the head butler of the Xu Mansion without even seeing Ling Ruoyun's face. After being locked up for a month, Mrs. Zhen didn't dare to come to her house anymore.
Zhen's remarriage is no longer a member of the Ling family, Xu Wu does not recognize this mother-in-law and no one blames her. However, sending his wife's biological mother to prison is still a bit extreme. It's a pity that Xu Wu is not a civil servant, but the guard commander of the palace and has won the trust of Yunqing and Yuxi, and no one dares to say anything in front of him.
Xu Wu smiled and said: "It's a happy event to add more people." Because Xu Wu has been in the palace for a long time, Xu Wu has also been affected. He feels that the more sons the better, but that they should be cultivated well. Now that he has two sons, he feels that it is enough to raise them well. Of course, if there is any more, I will not dislike it.
Ling Ruoyun remembered what his younger brother said in the letter, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Master, I heard that Han Jianming sells rice porridge and serves his mother very filially. He has a very good reputation in Jiangnan." In fact, Ling Ruoyuan said in the letter that Han Jianming was Jiangnan covered the sky with one hand, and the officials and people in Jiangnan only knew that Han Jianming did not know King Ming and Princess Ming.
Xu Wu didn't think much about it, and said: "The princess is very filial, and Han Jianming is not stupid, so he will be even more filial to Mrs. Han."
Ling Ruoyun looked at Xu Wu's appearance, and immediately said with a smile: "This is also the blessing of Mrs. Han." Regarding what Ling Ruoyuan said, she didn't reveal a word.
Xu Wu hummed and said: "By the way, I have been delayed by something in the past two years. When this war is over, the accompanying reading will be put on the agenda. I am going to let Cheng Ze follow the Fourth Young Master." Will choose Brother Yu Son, on the one hand, Brother Yu's temperament has become better than before; on the other hand, he also discovered that Brother Yu is very smart, and his future prospects should not be bad.
The next day, when Xu Wu went to work in the palace, Ling Ruoyun immediately went to the study and wrote a letter to Ling Ruoyuan. Into those right and wrong, when the time comes no one can save him. (to be continued)
