The attitude of the Xie family towards the marriage is very impressive. More than once, more than one person publicly expressed that he was not optimistic about the marriage, and Xie Jijiu even openly opposed it.
If it wasn't for the old man of the Xie family to visit Xiao's house in person, and the two families exchanged keepsake and Geng tie, the Xie family would send the bride price to Xiao's house quickly. Everyone else thought that it was the Xiao family who wanted to borrow the power of public opinion to force Gao to marry Xie's family.
Generally speaking, when parents make a decision, it counts.
To be able to work for the older generation, especially Xie Mu De's high expectations, one can imagine that she attaches great importance to the marriage, and the other can see that the internal contradictions of the Xie family are fierce, and the old lady of the Xie family has to come out to fight.
To this extent, Mrs. Xie did not expect. She had a big fight with Xiao Sikong and had not spoken for two days.
But when she saw Xie's mother, her legs softened at that time. Then she asked her mother to hold her hands for a lot of comfort, and she would answer everything until the bride price was sent to Xiao's house. Mrs. Xie came back to herself and had a heart to draw her mouth.
When the betrothal gifts are all here, can we not accept them?
Chong Baoxin apologized straight away, his face full of shame: "my mother didn't hold it. Old lady Xiao is elegant, friendly and kind. In the past, I only watched from a distance and didn't dare to go forward. She sat so close to me that day, and I forgot everything. What do you say? I'm sorry for you. "
The old man of the Xie family is the Xiao family in Lanling. In the previous dynasty, he was a member of the top aristocratic family. He was standing on the tip of the sky.
Later, in order to avoid chaos, they moved to Daliang and set up nanlanling county.
The aunt of Xie's mother was the stepmother of Taizu in Daliang. She married into the Song family in troubled times, and won the respect of Taizu's family. After Taizu ascended the throne, she was granted the title of empress dowager, and the Xiao family was also regarded as the family of the emperor's uncle.
However, mother Xie's elder brother died nine years ago. His nephew Shi Renyi and governor of Ninger prefecture were serious and eccentric. He had no sacred heart. In addition to the annual greeting, he had little contact with the Xie family.
Xie's mother had a rough life. She lost her husband in the middle age and her son in the old age. She had a remarkable bearing.
Mrs. Xie was originally superstitious in aristocratic families. In the past, when she was involved with the Xie family, she could enjoy it for a long time and was sincerely convinced. If you look up at the mountain, you can't move when you see Xie's mother.
"... but the old lady said well, she will have everything in the future, and you won't be wronged. Their family sincerely asks for marriage." After comforting her daughter, Mrs. Xie comforted herself.
"The old lady is a lady from a big family and a noble family. Since she should be, she can't be wrong."
Xiao Baoxin
What can she say? Her mother believes that she and her father can't trust the Xie family.
However, she was also a kind of mind. She married Xie Xian. When Mrs. Xie came to the conclusion that it was beneficial to her, she closed her mouth.
But what she didn't expect was that the Xie family rebounded so much.
What kind of marriage officials do not get married, that is to say, I have never seen such a big battle.
Even above the court, the Xie family and the Xiao family fought against each other. All aspects of the counterattack were unexpected to her.
To be honest, she has never tasted, chewed or experienced. Otherwise, she will not rise to the challenge. She chose Xie Xian, the head of Xie's family, who has the strongest difficulty coefficient.
It's just that it's too late to say that.
There are difficulties to go up, there are no difficulties - doesn't this create difficulties? She also has to take photos.
Besides, she finally got what she wanted. The arrow is on the string, you do not hair, someone for you hair; If you don't send it, the other party will send it, that is you die.
She also has a lot of merits beside Xiao Bao's letter, but what she is most proud of is that she doesn't admit defeat besides her face.
You say I can't, I want to live like you can!
Not only outsiders are not optimistic, but Xiao Sikong is full of confidence. He thinks that his daughter has mastered the key to the future and has chosen the best choice for the family. Besides, his mother-in-law and brother-in-law are not optimistic... OK, that's normal.
Sure enough, it was her and Xiao Sikong who were ignorant and fearless.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, Xiao Baoxin, like a canary in a cage, was surrounded and instructed. He simply said he was ill and refused the invitation of the eldest princess Chongyang banquet.
But what she didn't expect was that she couldn't escape the 15th day of the first day of junior high school. Because Princess Xuancheng was calculated by Princess Anji in Xu's house, the Empress Dowager split up with the eldest princess, competing with each other. This year, the royal family will also hold a chrysanthemum banquet in Chongyang.
It's embarrassing.
After the invitation was sent out, the Empress Dowager let out the news. For a while, all the aristocrats of the aristocratic families were silly. Who's going to go or not?
It's hard for them to be so blatant.
Xiaofu is directly received by the Empress Dowager side of the mother's pro to, people call to the day Xiaoda Niang into the palace to accompany, the Empress Dowager has long heard of its name, want to see.
Well said, I just want to see you.
Can the Xiao family refuse?
Can't you?
Of course not.
It's rare that the Empress Dowager wants to say goodbye to the eldest princess. If the Marquis doesn't give the Empress Dowager face, he won't get into a feud.
Xiao Baoxin still has this political consciousness.
Apart from other things, her father was deeply favored by the emperor. Even if she looked at his face, she could not have been called by the Empress Dowager. If you are sick or something, you can only get better.
Being surrounded by people to talk about something, she can only accept it. Eat salted fish is worth thirst, Xie Xian she all income in the bag, let people around to accept criticism, nothing to say, always have to pay some price.
On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the courtiers and families began to prepare. Except for Xiao Baoshan, the Xiao family went to jingling early. Xiao Baoshu had no official, no job and stayed at home to eat and die. Xiao Sikong, Mrs. Xie and Xiao Baoxin got up early and went to Waguan temple with the emperor and the Empress Dowager.
Waguan temple is located in a very high place. You can have a panoramic view of Jiankang when you climb it. It is the best place to climb.
The eldest princess was old, so she only found a place outside the city where the chrysanthemums grew very well and held a banquet.
The officials in Jiankang city were the busiest at this time. Fortunately, there were policies and countermeasures. Every family was divided into two groups. The master mother usually went to the empress dowager, and the rest went to the eldest princess.
The Empress Dowager is happy to see that she is busy in a group and standing in a line. What she wants is such an effect. Anyway, everyone knows that the most respected person in the family is the housewife. Only when they all come to her can she show her high status.
When she left the city in the morning, when she saw so many housewives coming in line, she couldn't close her mouth. She was holding the queen in her left hand and the concubine Liu in her right hand. Mei's big nose was about to come out.
The Empress Dowager was born in the Han nationality, and she has never seen any big scenes. Although the queen was born in a wealthy family, she treated the Empress Dowager with great respect and did not respect her family status. She was well received by the Empress Dowager for her considerate service and respectful attitude. As for Liu Guifei, the Empress Dowager didn't like Yao Er Dao Er very much. She just raised her for the sake of her son's real love.
