Chapter 425： Princess Yongyang’s marriage

She told Mammy Yu, "Go to the Cui Mansion and ask Mrs. Mingsan if she wants to go back together."

Mammy Yu couldn't laugh or cry, "Madam, Mrs. Mingsan is famous now. There are many ladies who will invite her next time. She has to consider her daughter. If she develops connections in the capital early, she will definitely not go with us."

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment and understood.

“That’s alright, we can just go on our own!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huazhi rushed in in a panic, "Madam, the imperial edict is here!"

Jiang Ning was startled and hurried out to receive the order.

Seeing her uneasiness, Eunuch Dekang secretly said: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, the imperial edict is for the number one scholar who lives in your house!"

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked the housekeeper to find Xu Nuoshan. He was thinking about the content of the imperial edict. The appointment should not be so quick. Moreover, according to the rules, Xu Nuoshan took the traditional imperial examination route. If there were no accidents, he This number one scholar should be assigned to the Hanlin Academy and compiled from the sixth rank. Does this still require the emperor's personal decree?

Or is it that the emperor gave him a higher official position? Need to put it outside? That’s not the case! This time the orthodox imperial examination has selected so many talents, why is it necessary to let the number one scholar go outside?

She couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't ask questions beyond the rules.

 Xu Nuoshan hurried back after receiving the news. Jiang Ning had already asked people to put the incense table on the table.

As soon as he knelt down, Dekang opened the imperial edict, "By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict that the No. 1 Scholar in Jinke promised Shan that there would be intelligent talents based on loyalty, and comprehensive knowledge based on writing. It is worthy of my youth. My daughter, Princess Yongyang, specially went to the Xunuo Mountain Hanlin Academy to study at the sixth level to compile this book. Princess Yongyang, I admire this!"

"Master Zhuangyuan, please accept the imperial edict!" Dekang smiled and handed the imperial edict forward.

 Xu Nuoshan recovered from the shock and quickly accepted the imperial edict and thanked him.

Jiang Ning was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered people to send him a reward of silver, and also said some nice words to Dekang.

Dekang chuckled and said, "The Marquis wants to ask the emperor why he granted me the marriage, right?"

Jiang Ning smiled sheepishly, "My father-in-law also knows that I brought this child into the capital, and his sister is my daughter-in-law. His mother entrusted him to me, and I have to take care of him, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes! Lord Marquis is the most compassionate." Dekang said with a smile: "The Zajia family really don't know what the emperor thinks specifically. The Zajia family only knows that the number one scholar is the one that Princess Yongyang likes. The emperor and the empress love the princess, and the marriage is It's all settled! Now that the imperial edict has been issued, the queen's intention is that the marriage should be done sooner rather than later, and it will be scheduled for early August. "

"In such a hurry?" Jiang Ning was shocked. It was almost May now, and they were getting married in August. There was not much time for them to prepare. Moreover, Mrs. Zhou was still in Quzhou Mansion. She wrote a letter to inform them of their arrival. Once upon a time, even if I traveled very fast day and night, I would probably only be able to catch up with the big day and not have time to do anything at all.

Dekang also knew that this day was indeed too fast. Xu's elders were not in the capital and it was too late to make any preparations, so he comforted him and said: "Master Marquis, No. 1 Scholar, you don't have to worry. The Queen knows your situation. This Princess Shang is a big deal." , naturally it will not embarrass others.

The princess lacks nothing. The betrothal gift must be purchased in accordance with the royal rules. The money is exempted. This is the banknote that the queen asked the miscellaneous family to deliver to the Marquis. The Marquis will have to worry about it. "

“It should be done!” Jiang Ning accepted the bill respectfully, but his heart was pounding.

After the imperial envoy left, Jiang Ning hurriedly asked people to go out to set off firecrackers in a festive manner.

She herself brought Xu Nuoshan into the house, with a sad look on her face, "The wedding is in such a hurry, what should we do?" Xu Nuoshan stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "It's difficult for my aunt, Nuoshan can think of something on his own."

Jiang Ning waved his hand, "The queen gave me the banknote. She clearly asked me to arrange the marriage for you as your elder. Even if you don't want to trouble me, you can't do it. Let's sit down and think calmly first and see how to arrange it. That’s good.”

Jiang Ning looked at Xu Nuoshan carefully as he spoke. He had to say that this kid was really talented, talented, and of noble character. Among the new scholars this time, considering all aspects, there seemed to be few who could compare with him.

She couldn't help but sigh: "The only male in the Xu family left now is you. Being able to become the emperor's son-in-law is also the blessing of your Xu family. As long as you stick to your heart and don't go astray, the Xu family will be rich and prosperous for hundreds of years."

“Auntie, don’t worry, even if Nuoshan enters the officialdom, he will never be blinded by wealth and do anything unfaithful, unjust and unkind.” Xu Nuoshan swore with a serious face.

Jiang Ning smiled happily, put all the banknotes given by the Queen on the table, counted them carefully, and said: "There are 60,000 taels here. The Queen is indeed a Queen, and she is generous in her dealings.

Depending on how favored Princess Yongyang is, the emperor will most likely build a princess mansion for her outside the palace. From now on, you will live in the capital, and you will have to take your mother over. If your mother also lives in It is inevitable that you will feel uncomfortable in the princess's mansion, so I suggest you buy another mansion by yourself. No matter how big or small it is, it belongs to the Xu family and has nothing to do with the princess.

I will lend you the money to buy the house first. We will not use the 60,000 taels. All 60,000 taels will be spent on the betrothal gift and returned to the princess. "

Xu Nuoshan knew that Jiang Ning was concerned about the Xu family's face and his self-esteem, so he became more and more grateful and respectful to Jiang Ning.

"Auntie, you are the most prudent in doing things. It is your decision. However, please give me an account of how much money you spent. The Xu family will pay it back to you slowly in the future."

Jiang Ning nodded and was not polite to him.

After Xu Nuoshan returned, he immediately sent a letter to people to be sent back to Quzhou Prefecture.

At the same time, the news that the emperor had granted marriage to Princess Yongyang spread like the trend.

On the Cheng family side, Cheng Hong said sourly in front of Cui Yudie: "Mother, why can an inconspicuous peasant boy be honored as Princess Yongyang? How can he compare to me? He is not only the number one scholar, no matter how powerful he is, He has no background, so what are his abilities? My father is still a sixth-rank official, and my grandfather is still a third-rank Taishi Ling!"

Cui Yudie was also dissatisfied. In her opinion, Princess Wuya could not be compared with Princess Yongyang. However, the emperor had already granted the marriage and the betrothal gift was all in the Cheng family, so it was useless.

Then he said in a deep voice: "What are you talking about? It's only right for you to make progress yourself! Come back tomorrow and get the top score for me, let's see how arrogant they are!"

The number one scholar came from Guang'enhou's mansion. The godson Cui Yuying recognized was the second in the list, the son of Guang'enhou. All the good things happened to them. Why!

Cheng Hong shrank his neck guiltily and did not dare to answer the conversation at all.

Inside the inn.

Lan Suiwendong angrily slapped the table and cursed, "Emperor Qi is so abominable that he married Princess Yongyang! She is obviously the princess that our Wuya tribe likes!"

Lan Sui Wenhan snorted dissatisfiedly, "When Emperor Qi proposed that Princess Yongyang marry you, you didn't agree. It's too late to say such a thing now!" (End of Chapter)
