Chapter 162

The marriage edict given by Empress Yide is valuable. Even if Xiao Shao was about to go to war, the marriage was settled first. Now, Jiang Ruan is not allowed to go to court before his filial piety. In name, he is always Xiao Shao's person.

Ordinary people can't see the intricacies of the relationships. They only secretly envy the good fortune of Shangshu mansion, and a daughter born can marry into Jinying mansion. Although King Jinying's reputation is not good, the common people don't know about it. In fact, the so-called disorderly officials and thieves, Lord Xiao, is a sweet cake of the imperial court. Xiao Shao is the first one who has been in power since he was young.

The three daughters of the scholar Jiang Shang are beautiful and beautiful. Although the eldest daughter had been raised in Chuang Tzu since she was a child, she couldn't hold on to others. She was outstanding. Later, she didn't know what good fortune she took and became a princess. Now she is also considered a high married man. Shangshu mansion must have risen with the tide.

With Jiang Ruan's Zhuyu in front, people can't help thinking about Jiang Su Su Su's future destination. To tell you the truth, Jiang Su Su has been known as a beautiful woman in the capital since he was born. If Xia Yan hadn't had an accident, he would have broken the threshold of marriage promotion. It's just that there is a mother who is not in a good mood, and Jiang Su Su Su has been implicated. Serious people don't look up to her, there are those who covet her beauty, and Jiang Quan doesn't look up to her family. As soon as she came and went, she also delayed her marriage.

In any case, the Empress Dowager's Yizhi, even though Jiang Quan's heart was not happy, always had to be happy. Not only that, but also have to do so that people can not find a fault, empress Yide's people stare, where to allow him to do anything. Fortunately, there is a jieyujiao flower in this house. Hongying accepted Jiang Ruan's marriage all the time. She helped her to do everything inside and outside. Besides, with the help of her aunt, there was no shortage of etiquette. Therefore, Jiang Quan is very satisfied with Hongying, because Hongying is still pregnant with the blood and bone of the Jiang family, and is considerate to Hongying.

Hongying was really considerate of Jiang Ruan. Since the Empress Dowager's edict, Xiao Shao has never visited Jiang's house. In terms of etiquette, it was not right, but Xiao Shao had no parents, so it was impossible for her parents to do it for her. I went there in person, but with Xiao Shao's temperament, I found it quite impossible. If Xiao Shao really did not come, he would not dare to say anything wrong to him.

When Hongying mentioned this, she tidied up Jiang Quan's collar and said, "anyway, Lord Xiao will come to our house. I thought, no matter whether King Xiao comes or not, the etiquette is always comprehensive. If you don't send him the next post, ask him to come to the mansion. How about the marriage of the eldest lady? "

At the thought of this marriage, Jiang Quan felt that his brain was full of pain. He could not be offended by this marriage. At the moment, he also replied rigidly, "you can do it by yourself."

"This should have been done by my wife," hung Ying lowered her head. "Now that my wife is recovering from illness in Chuang Tzu, it's not easy to get into trouble. I only hope that Lord Xiao will not despise my humble background and think that I have insulted him. "

"What low?" As soon as Xia Yan was mentioned, Jiang Quan thought of those bad things, and his mood was even worse. At the moment, the tone was not very happy and said, "now you are the hostess in the mansion. Xiao Shao wants to marry my daughter, but Jiang Ruan still has a Jiang character. He has to abide by the rules of our Jiang family. Post you go down, he does not come, it does not matter, after all, it is said that the people who do not know etiquette is him. Even if he goes to the empress dowager, he is also the one who is in fault. "

"Don't be angry, master." Hongying gently advised: "I don't think Lord Xiao is the one who doesn't know the etiquette. I'm going to arrange it now. After a few days, if Lord Xiao is willing to come, I hope I can serve you well. After all, the eldest lady's marriage can't be neglected, and the Empress Dowager has to look at it in person. "

"It's just a trifle. Don't worry about it." Jiang Ruan frowned, as if he didn't want to hear about him. Instead, he told Hongying, "you have leisure. Don't worry about Su Su's marriage. Seeing that Su Su's age is getting married, now all the social activities in the house are for you. If you want to know more about the young people of the right age in Beijing, you have to choose a good marriage for Su Su. "

"Yes, sir." There was a smile on Hongying's face, but she said in her heart that she was afraid that Jiang Quan's thought would be in vain. Jiang Su Su is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the young talents don't need to think about it. Now, Jiang Su Su is determined to climb onto his brother-in-law's bed. But now it's convenient for her.

……

When Jiang Fu's invitation was handed to Xiao Shao, housekeeper Lin paid special attention to Xiao Shao's face. See Xiao Shao didn't show any movement, can't help but remind: "little Lord, this post is to accept or not to accept?"

"What's the difference?" Xiao Shao sat down at the table, in front of which lay a map of the territory outside the city of the state of Jin, with many marks. It's urgent to go on an expedition. It's a complicated operation and I'm afraid of change. Everything should be prepared.

"Oh, my Lord, it's quite different." Housekeeper Lin said anxiously: "although the Empress Dowager's will comes down, the young lady is destined to be the mistress of our house. However, this kind of ostentation can't be ignored. If the wife is still there, it's time to go to Shangshu mansion to see her daughter-in-law and talk to her in laws. It's just that we can't find such a person in our house now. Young Lord, you'd better go in person. "

Seeing that Xiao Shao raised his eyes and looked at him, housekeeper Lin said more and more: "if you go, what does it mean? It means that the little Lord values the little lady. The young lady is now in the Shangshu mansion. Others will look up at her and dare not bully him easily. Young master, the old slave said, this woman wants to coax you. Does the young master think that the young lady is not warm enough for you? That's what you are not. Men, always take the initiative. Young master, you are going to support young lady this time. The young lady must be moved to see you like this. Now, young Lord, you should take the opportunity to say something to please others. Are you afraid that the young lady will not give up on you? "Steward Lin's words can not be said that Xiao Shao's heart went. He frowned and looked thoughtfully at the map in front of him, but he seemed to be thinking about something else. After a long silence, he nodded and said, "reply. Three days later, Xiao Shao will visit."

"Good --" housekeeper Lin said a beautiful thing. He was very pleased to see that his young master was so clever. He only said a few words to teach, so he went out to find a good post.

"Take the initiative?" He lowered his head and said to himself. His eyelashes drew an intoxicating arc, but his eyes seemed to bend and smile.

……

Jiang Ruan didn't know about the exchange of worship notes between Shangshu mansion and Jinying mansion. It's a rare leisure in Jiang's house these days. I don't know if Jiang Quan had specially ordered her, but people seemed to have completely ignored the news of her engagement with Xiao Shao. He neither came forward to congratulate her nor to greet her, as if to deliberately neglect her.

Angelica dahurica and forsythia often mention this matter, since nest a stomach gas. After all, Jiang Ruan is also the daughter of the Jiang family. It's a shame that Jiang Quan should have done this. As she combed Jiang Ruan's hair, forsythia said, "I heard that the second lady has been running to the fifth aunt's yard every day these days. She has been sitting all afternoon. I don't know when she and I got such a friendship. That five aunt also really is to cross a river to tear down a bridge, now unexpectedly turn over a face not to recognize a person. The Empress Dowager Yizhi came down for so long, but she didn't come to ask. I don't know what to do with the dowry and the marriage. "

The wedding ceremony was originally taken care of by the mother. If Zhao Mei were alive, he would have been busy sticking his chest to his back. Hongying is quite free, and she has nothing to do with it up to now. You can't let your daughter, who is about to get married, ask about these things by herself.

"What's wrong with her? She can say that she's just a concubine. It's not her turn to get involved in the marriage of her daughter. It's not wrong to say that." Jiang Ruan Dan said, "what's the matter? The Empress Dowager will not stand by. She saw this point, so she didn't care about it

Anyway, the Empress Dowager Yide is in charge, and Hongying is not willing to do the thankless things. Now the power of the family is in Hongying's hands. If Hongying really wants to give her money as a dowry, Hongying doesn't want to. After tasting the taste of power, how can she let go easily? Hongying is used to the feeling of being superior in the government. How can she be happy when she is faced with a girl of higher rank?

"In a word, the five aunts were not kind, and they didn't think that if it had not been for Miss's help, she would have been able to live in the mansion, not to mention living like this. I really think I'm pregnant with... "

"Forsythia," Jiang Ruan interrupted, "you said too much."

Forsythia a Leng, self-knowledge aphasia, busy way: "is maidservant said wrong."

Jiang Ruan shook his head: "nothing, don't be heard. You go to the palace and pick out a few pieces of materials. When you go back and embroider some bags with Angelica dahurica, there are so many people in the palace these days that you can't neglect them. "

Since she gave her wedding edict, the Empress Dowager Yide sent some things every so often, but they were all jewelry materials. I think her daughter's family is going to get married, and all these things can be used. Only Jiang Ruan himself didn't care about these things. If it wasn't mentioned by Angelica dahurica from time to time, he was afraid that he would throw them directly into the box.

Forsythia vomits its tongue and goes to pick the cloth. At the same time, the dew, who was doing embroidery, blinked and asked, "when is the girl going to start embroidering wedding clothes?"

"Wedding dress?" Jiang Ruan was slightly stunned.

"Of course, it's the wedding dress," the dew looked at her with a smile: "don't you want to embroider the wedding dress before you get married? Is the wedding date to get next year, now you can also start to embroider wedding clothes? Although Lord Xiao may have someone send it, doesn't his daughter's family like to embroider their own wedding clothes? Lord Xiao and the girl are both born so well. As long as they think of wearing happy clothes, they feel that they can shake the eyes of people in the whole capital. "

What she said was charming, but it made Jiang Ruan fall into meditation. When she was sent to the palace in her previous life, she had no chance to become a bride. It's not that I didn't want to look like a phoenix when I was a girl, but I didn't wait for that moment in my previous life. She had never thought of the happiness of ordinary people. In this life, if Xiao Shao didn't get this Yizhi, she didn't think about what it would be like to get married.

If it is to marry someone else, maybe she can treat each other coldly, only the object becomes Xiao Shao, but in her heart, she is a little strange. The wedding dress is embroidered for the beloved. What position Xiao Shao is in her heart now, Jiang Ruan himself has never thought about. Most of them are beyond friendship, and most of them are just a little bit short of their lovers.

Just a little bit, but across her deep knot, I do not know this life has not untied the time. On this thought, I feel a little guilty for Xiao Shao.

"Let's talk about it in our spare time." She shook her head, but a little absent-minded. Dew see her absence, and no longer ask, obediently continue to work up.

……

Xiao Shaoguo really came to Jiang's house in three days. Only he and housekeeper Lin, Xiao Shao, were dressed in a black jacquard sheath, and the collar was embroidered with thin blue bamboo leaf lace. The cuff wristband is still hooked with a dark gold unicorn, which is extremely powerful. When I enter the mansion, I look indifferent, and my eyes are like cold stars. I dare not look at them directly. I just feel that I have a chilly air on my body. I am domineering and introverted, but I am low and open in the dark.The maid who led the way blushed, but she did not dare to look up at the young man's handsome facial features. From the beginning to the end, she led the way with her head down and without saying a word. All the way forward, in the end, all the maidservants and wombs who passed by looked at him a little distracted. Housekeeper Lin is naturally very proud. He straightens up his body and is very proud.

When I got to the main hall, I could see that Hongying and her aunt were already waiting. With the help of her maidservant, Hongying saluted Xiao Shao, with a kind smile on her face: "I've seen you before. Now that my wife is not in the house, my humble concubine is helping me to take care of the internal affairs. I hope the king will not abandon my concubine. "

Xiao Shao faintly "eh", then sat down on the seat prepared for him. Housekeeper Lin stood aside, and before Xiao Shao could speak, he already said with a smile, "you're welcome to my fifth aunt. I'm a member of the young lady's family. The master doesn't have so many rules. He's free. "

Housekeeper Lin is so kind that every word he says is not so kind. It's said that there are no rules. In fact, the spectrum is bigger than anything. The eldest aunt stood on one side and said nothing, but the servant girls around saw that the situation was wrong. The master servant of Jinying palace was not good at it. She was afraid that she had come to support the eldest lady specially. She lowered her head a little deeper, just to avoid attracting people's attention.

The smile on Hongying's face froze. After all, she was born in the middle of the city. She wanted to be good at dealing with people. But in a short time, she regained her kind and natural smile: "that would be great. The eldest lady is the daughter of our family. The master is very distressed. Now I'm very happy to see that the LORD loves the young lady so much. "

Xiao Shao didn't answer, and housekeeper Lin said, "madam, it's very polite. Since the Empress Dowager has made an order, the young lady is the mistress of our family. She must be loved by the mistress. Today, in addition to talking about this, the master also ordered the old slave to send the bride price list. After waiting for the young lady to pass by, the dowry will be sent to the young lady together with the dowry. The Empress Dowager has seen this. " Then he took out a gold silk printed gift list from his sleeve and handed it to Hongying.

At first, Hongying was glad to hear what housekeeper Lin said. When she heard the second half of his sentence, her face turned blue again. When I opened the bride price list, my face turned red, white and red. It was wonderful. A moment later, she closed the gift list, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "if the Lord really loves the young lady, this gift list is not rich. Seeing this, I am really happy for the young lady."

She said so, but her hands used a fierce force, almost to break the list. As a matter of fact, Hongying was born in a brothel. Where is the brothel? It's a gold selling cave. She has never seen any black sheep. There are so many things about spending a lot of money to be a pretty girl, so she doesn't treat things like gold, silver and jewels like her second aunt. But now she saw the wedding gift list from Jinying palace, but she couldn't help taking a breath.

Rare treasure, rare animal, house, shop, gold and silver note. Countless riches and jewels, just a small wedding gift list, can let people see the tip of the iceberg of Jinying palace. Rao Shi Hongying is also well-informed. At the moment, he can't help but be shocked by the wealth and respect. He is secretly jealous of Jiang Ruan.

What's more, it's a hot job. It's rich and noble. It's flying before you get it. Xiao Shao's words made it very clear that the betrothal gift was to be taught to Jiang Ruan, and the Empress Dowager Yide was also clear. That means she doesn't even have a chance to step in. Originally, she wanted to take advantage of Jiang Ruan's betrothal gifts, but now she wants to watch the wealth slip away from her hands. You should know that this betrothal gift alone is worth several ministers' offices. How can she be reconciled?

The more unwilling she was, the more determined she was to send Jiang Su Su to Jinying palace. Jiang Ruan is not easy to master, but Jiang Susu can tell who is in charge of Jiang Fu. If you hold on to Jiang Susu and wait for him to enter King Jinying's residence, will this wealth flow into Shangshu's residence continuously? At that time, the days of Shangshu's residence will be more and more moistening.

Hongying made up her mind, and her smile became more and more eager. Housekeeper Lin frowned and looked at the deformed gift list that Hongying held. She said, "be careful, aunt. This gift list is only for the Empress Dowager. I'm afraid it will be very troublesome if it's damaged."

"I'm not careful." Hongying smiles awkwardly. I don't know where the young lady is. She should come out to meet the Lord

Hongying said with a smile: "the eldest lady is coming out, but her daughter's family is always shy. I'm afraid she's dressing up now. I've just sent someone to tell you. The eldest lady will go to the tea house in the garden. Lin Lang, you can take the king first. You young people always have something to say. Besides, the Empress Dowager Fang will marry you. It's better to get familiar with it earlier. " Her words are shrewd and magnanimous, which is quite different from those pedantic families. But Xiao Shao didn't move, still looking at her indifferently.

In the face of such an expressionless person, no matter how eloquent you are, there is always some weakness in your heart. Steward Lin seemed to speak for Xiao Shao today. He immediately laughed again and said, "that's the best. Please lead the way quickly." Nowadays, the royal family of Jinying takes Xiao Shao's marriage as a top priority. The master's ability to chase his daughter-in-law is not enough, so he naturally has to do something for his subordinates. Housekeeper Lin is always eager to give Xiao Shao and Jiang Ruan the chance to be alone. Housekeeper Lin is very satisfied with Hongying's insight."Housekeeper Lin is misunderstood," Hongying said with a smile. "I still have some wedding affairs to discuss with housekeeper Lin. it seems that the prince has given the marriage to housekeeper Lin to take care of. I still want to discuss with housekeeper Lin. If housekeeper Lin doesn't dislike it, please stay here and say to me She looked at Xiao Shao and said with a smile, "as for the eldest lady and the Lord, it's more convenient for them to talk."

If he didn't know that all the people in Jiang's house were elites, housekeeper Lin would have praised him as a knowledgeable and reasonable beauty. It's best for these two people to be alone. When Lin was young, he followed the old king Jin Ying and learned to be a dandy. He didn't pay attention to secular legislation at all. In his eyes, all the men and women in that family were just like clouds. What's more, now that empress Yide's decree has been issued, Jiang Ruan is the young lady. What's there to avoid between the young lady and the young master? Men and women need to be alone when they are together. If they are alone more than once, they will be able to get a spark. Maybe they can get pregnant.

"That's not bad, master. You see --" housekeeper Lin asked Xiao Shao, his eyes full of expectation.

Xiao Shao did not live up to the expectations of housekeeper Lin, nodded faintly: "good."

Red Ying then smile of more sincerity some: "Lin Lang, still don't quick take Wang Ye to pass."

Lin Lang went to Xiao Shaofu and said, "please come with me, Lord."

……

Xiao Shao followed Lin Lang all the way through the courtyard and flower terrace of Jiang's house, and then walked around the long corridor to a garden teahouse. The tea house is located in the jungle, hidden under the secluded trees, with a quiet environment. If you are tired here, go in and have a rest. It's also an excellent place to enjoy some tea and have a rest. It should have been a very delicate place repaired in Jiang's house. It covers a large area. From a distance, you would think that it was the courtyard where the daughter lived.

All the way, Lin Lang didn't speak, just led the way, so she ignored Xiao Shao's eyes. He looks calm, but he has looked at this place quietly. It's not the first time that Xiao Shao has been in Jiang's mansion. He has been here several times before, and he has almost found out the details of 7778. What's more, Jin Er and Jin San were staring at the map of Jiang's mansion. He had seen it, and naturally knew it was a teahouse.

On the contrary, although the environment is quiet, few people have been drinking tea here since Xia Yan left because it is too far away from the courtyards of the women's families.

But Hongying arranged for him to meet Jiang Ruan at this place.
