Chapter 414： It's not the right time

Chapter 414 comes at the wrong time

The beautiful woman ran away, and Yang Santie had to look away and looked at Yang Datou with resentment, "Brother, you came at the right time!"

Even though Yang Datou was dull, he realized the problem now and covered his mouth in surprise, "Lao San, you don't have a crush on the little flower girl, do you?"

"Can't you?" Yang Santie felt really bad when he thought about what he almost blurted out just now, so he broke down and admitted it generously.

Yang Datou chuckled, "Okay! Why not! Outsiders say that our Guang'en Marquis has a mud-legged background, which is true at all. Our family is not so particular about family background, and my mother-in-law pays more attention to the girl's character. We also have similar interests. We have watched Sister Xiaohua grow up, and coupled with your amazing medical skills, I still think you are not worthy of me!"

"How is that possible! I've already been promoted! If this spring passes, I will be a tribute! The first tribute in our family! Why can't I be worthy? Besides, I look pretty good." Yang Santie spread his hands, He looked himself up and down and muttered: "Brother, do you think the Seventh Prince is better-looking than me?"

Yang Datou was confused, "Why did you suddenly mention the Seventh Prince? But you also heard about Concubine Shu's funeral?"

“What?” Yang Santie was dumbfounded now.

Yang Datou explained: "Just now King Xiaoyao said that the funeral of Concubine Shu is scheduled to be on the fourth day of the lunar month. I heard that she will be buried with the rites of a noble concubine. For the New Year, almost all the officials of the Ministry of Rites are on duty."

The two brothers went to the study while talking.

This day is the second day of the lunar month.

Jiang Ning’s natal family was far away in Quzhou Mansion and could not go back, so Yang Santie went to Cui Mansion to accompany Mrs. Ming San.

The Cui family now regards Yang Santie as the son of Mrs. Mingsan, and seems to be loving to him. Cui Guang even seizes the opportunity to instill knowledge into Yang Santie.

Cui Yudie was not allowed to come to the house. Without anyone to cause trouble, the Cui family rarely had a harmonious and happy second day of the new year. At the same time, the Cui family released the news that Mrs. Ming San recognized Guang Enhou's third son as her godson.

Mrs. Mingsan is not in the capital, and she is a transparent person in the eyes of the wealthy family. This news did not cause any commotion at all.

Only Cui Yudie, mother and son were so angry at the news that they got angry in the backyard of Cheng's house.

Cheng Dongjiang's concubine, Aunt Sun, happened to be waiting in the old lady's Yishou Hall. When she heard the noise, she frowned immediately, "Mother, what is sister doing? Isn't she going back to Cui Mansion on the second day of the new year?"

Mrs. Cheng's wrinkled old face darkened, and she snorted coldly, "What else can the house-ruiner do besides making our family uneasy? It's all the fault of mother and son! It's you who caused my son to be demoted! Sweet, hey! It would have been nice if Dongjiang had married you back then."

Aunt Sun was extremely frightened and said, "Mom, please don't say such things. If my sister finds out, I will never be spared."

Cheng Dongjiang, who was standing next to him, saw his beloved woman trembling and felt very uncomfortable, "What else can she do besides living in the nest? This is my mother's Yishou Hall, how dare she make trouble with her mother? If it weren't for the Cui family, , I divorced her early!"

Aunt Sun lowered her eyes and suppressed the smugness and ridicule in her eyes. She kept talking about it every day, but she didn't see Cheng Dongjiang really divorced Cui Yudie. She had no hope and could only think of a way. Try to separate them both as much as possible so that she and her son can get more benefits.

Mrs. Cheng thought of the rumors outside, pursed her lips, and a few glimmers of light burst out from her cloudy eyes, "The emperor really wants Hong'er to marry Princess Wuya?"

Cheng Dongjiang sighed and nodded, very annoyed, "I heard that the princess is also difficult to get along with. A Cui family has messed up our family like this. If there is another Princess Wuya, our family can still live happily. ?”

"That's what you found yourself! Hey! But there's nothing we can do about it. Who made our family so poor at that time!" Mrs. Cheng sighed and said thoughtfully: "Didn't you say that Princess Wuya's dowry was a Xuanwu Ding? Really? The Xuanwu Cauldron has fallen into our family. If we find a way to present the cauldron to the emperor, will you be promoted? "

Hearing this, Aunt Sun looked at Cheng Dongjiang. Cheng Dongjiang's heart was surging, but his face was reserved and calm, "It's too early to say this, but it's a fact that Hong'er hugged Princess Wuya. The master of our family can't escape, maybe it will be like that! Will he be promoted? It’s unknown.”

Mrs. Cheng and Aunt Sun exchanged glances, and they were both secretly happy, but they still spoke ill of Cui Yudie and her daughter. This time, no one scolded Cheng Hong again.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

The palace issued two imperial edicts early in the morning. The first one was to posthumously confer Concubine Shu as Concubine Shu; the second one was to marry Princess Wu Ya and Cheng Hong.

The emperor refused to grant the marriage earlier and later, and chose to grant the marriage on the day of Concubine Shu's funeral, which was tantamount to causing a wave of hatred for the Cheng family, especially the Zhu family.

The funeral of Concubine Shu was held with great ceremony. As her biological son, the seventh prince personally helped her spirit out of the city.

Yang Santie also took Yang Xiaohua out of the city to see her off.

When the coffin was taken away, the seventh prince looked sad and helpless. He wanted to cry loudly, but his nanny said that he could not lose his etiquette, so he could only cry silently.

Yang Santie took Yang Xiaohua to report his name and came to the seventh prince.

When the seventh prince saw her, he couldn't help crying, "Sister Xiaohua, will my mother-in-law never come back?"

These words made several maids and maids weep.

Yang Xiaohua’s eyes were even redder.

Yang Santie stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "A man, why are you crying? Your mother and concubine have been lingering on the sick bed and suffering every day. Now that you are free, you should be happy!"

"But I can never see my mother-in-law again." The seventh prince held back some tears, but was still very sad.

Yang Santie looked at the honor guard going away and said, "As long as you always remember her, we can meet her in our dreams!"

They tried to persuade him a few more times, and then they separated from the seventh prince after his tears had disappeared.

After Concubine Shu's first seven years, the emperor issued several more imperial edicts. One of them was to adopt the seventh prince to the queen's name. The second was to canonize the queen's son Xiao Chong'an as Prince An. The third was to marry Prince An to the Ming family. The legitimate daughter Ming Jinxiu will get married three years later.

These imperial edicts caught all the ministers of aristocratic families in the capital by surprise.

The Zhu family has not yet recovered from the honor and favor of Concubine Shu, and has been poured cold water on the seventh prince's adoption.

Zhu Rongkui, the eldest son of Duke Zhu County, asked anxiously: "Father, what do you mean by the emperor? Does he have any objections to our Zhu family?"

After Concubine Shu's death, the emperor waited for her first seven years to pass before passing the seventh prince to the queen. This shows that the emperor still had feelings for Concubine Shu and the seventh prince, but it was different for the Zhu family. Concubine Shu did not The only relationship between the Zhu family and the royal family was the seventh prince. The emperor adopted the seventh prince to the queen without consulting the Zhu family, which clearly annoyed the Zhu family.

Zhu County Duke is also anxious, but he cannot show it at this time.
