Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

After Qiao Ruoyi came back, Zheng Xiao wanted to discuss with her about the marriage in the Jingwuhou's mansion. The old lady of Jingwuhou acted like that, she really didn't want to marry the Sun family.

It's just that I heard that Qiao Ruoyi was drunk and fell into the water today, so I had no choice but to let it go.

When Qiao Ruoyi's maid, Xiaoman, was waiting on Qiao Ruoyi to wash, she saw the spots on Qiao Ruoyi's body and gasped, "Miss, have you been beaten?"

Qiao Ruoyi said: "Maybe it's because I hit some rock when I fell into the water."

Another maid, Yan Yu, entered the room and said, "Miss, the Xie family sent you Gu Kaizhi's Vimalakirti portrait and a quick snow and sunny post at such a late hour. Master Xie said it was for your make-up."

Qiao Ruoyi pouted and said, "I won't accept it, you return it to Xie's house."

"No, wait, let's stay!"

Qiao Ruoyi changed her mind in an instant, "Go to the place where I hide the money and take out all the money and banknotes and send them to Xie's family!"

"Yes, miss."

After Qiao Ruoyi took a bath, she sat in front of the window and looked at the crescent moon in the sky. She couldn't fall asleep for a long time, but she had to go to court tomorrow. She asked Yan Yu to boil a bowl of medicine, and she barely fell asleep by drinking the medicine. up.

The matter of Xie Yun in Beishan Huangzhuang cannot be hidden from Beishan secret guards.

After Xie Yun left, Beishan Dark Guard went to Taiji Palace to report to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen frowned slightly, "Don't let the empress know about this, the Eunuch Huang in Beishan Huangzhuang was changed, and the maids inside were also changed, and dealt with the two whimsical sisters in front of them!"

Fortunately, it was Xie Yun who was recruited today, and these two court ladies are disgusting.

The dark guard should have retreated.

Eunuch Gu handed Lu Chen a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let your mother know about this?"

Lu Chen said: "Xie Yun doesn't like Qiao Ruoyi. If the queen finds out, she will inevitably seek justice for her sister."

Eunuch Gu wondered: "Miss Qiao Wu is the daughter of the Marquis of Anyuan, and now she is a fifth-rank official, how can Patriarch Xie look down on Miss Qiao Wu?"

Lu Chen calmly said: "The difference between the concubine and the concubine in the family is like the difference between clouds and mud, it is an insurmountable gap."

...

The next day, after Qiao Ruoyi went down to the Yamen and returned to Qiao's house, Zheng Xiao approached Qiao Ruoyi. Seeing Qiao Ruoyi's expression turned pale, he asked, "Ruoyi, what's wrong with you?"

Qiao Ruoyi forced a smile and said, "Perhaps she was drunk yesterday and still hasn't recovered. Mother, what's your business?"

Zheng Xiaodao: "Tell mother, you really love Jing Wuhou, if you are not Jing Wuhou, you will not marry?"

Zheng Xiao didn't wait for Qiao Ruoyi to answer, and continued:

"The old Mrs. Sun is really annoying. I have inquired about it for the past few days. No wonder she is anxious to set the wedding date at the end of this month. Not only is the son of Marquis Jingwu going to marry the daughter of Marquis Wu'an next year.

Also, her granddaughter is fourteen years old this year, and when it's time to discuss marriage, others will stop talking about marriage as soon as they hear that there is no aunt.

Mrs. Jingwuhou has passed away for more than ten years. Mrs. Sun is afraid that the newly married house will bully her grandchildren. In the past, they also guarded against you everywhere.

Ruoyi, listen to what my mother said, if it weren't for the deep-rooted affection for Jing Wuhou, we must choose another marriage, and I don't believe that all the good men in the world will die. "

Listening to Zheng Xiao's persuasion, Qiao Ruoyi said, "Mother, what's the difference if I change another family? Unless I marry far away and leave Chang'an, if I stay in Chang'an, which scholar's family is willing to marry a concubine's daughter? "

Zheng Xiao sighed helplessly, "The aristocratic family has been in decline for a long time, and now they are still demanding this rule, alas! I have wronged you."

Since the theory of aristocratic families hundreds of years ago, there has been a distinction between scholars and commoners.

The aristocratic family and the common people are not allowed to intermarry, and they pay more attention to the distinction between the concubine and the common people.

After Taizu ascended the throne, the successive emperors of Datang devoted themselves to suppressing the family.

Now when it comes to aristocratic families, only the Xie family in Jiangnan, the Qian family, and their Qiao family are left.

But after Datang's group of literati and scholars who were favored by the imperial court got the imperial examination, they didn't think that when the aristocratic family gained power, literati and scholars like them who were born in poor families would not be able to become officials even if they studied hard for decades.

On the contrary, some rules of the old family are respected now, and gradually, the difference between the concubine and the concubine is getting bigger and bigger.

The difference between concubine and concubine is something that people in aristocratic families care about, but now literati are also quite concerned about it.

It is impossible for some shameless families in Chang'an to have a difference in the mansion.

The sons and daughters of the concubine all have the same status as the sons and daughters of the mansion, and it is impossible for the head of the house to treat one more than another.

But if it comes to marriage matters, the concubine can only match the concubine.

Because of Qiao Ruoyi's high family background and her own talent, there are still some descendants of dudes who don't inherit the title who are willing to propose marriage.

Qiao Ruoyin was able to marry into the home of the Jiedushi in Yunzhou because he was a general and he didn't care about the difference between the concubine and the concubines that the literati respected.

Zheng Xiao said to Qiao Ruoyi: "Fortunately, you still have our Qiao family here, and married into the Sun's family. If they bully you, you must not report good news and not bad news like your elder sister. .”

Qiao Ruoyi nodded and said, "Mm, let's set the date of marriage according to Mrs. Sun's wishes."

She is afraid that the marriage will be prolonged and there will be accidents.

When Zheng Xiao walked out of Qiao Ruoyi's courtyard, he reluctantly went to Mrs. Qiao's side.

Mrs. Qiao sighed, "The Xie family is the only one left in the aristocratic family, and they still follow these rules now!

Since the founding of Datang, all previous majesties have fought against the aristocratic family for the sake of the people and the poor family, and united the imperial power to make the people live a better life. On the contrary, those pedantic literati still abide by the old rules of the aristocratic family!

Everyone thinks that they can become a family by following the rules, but they don't know that when the family was big, they were not worthy to carry the shoes of the family.

If the aristocratic family is really here, none of the maids of my Qiao family are worthy of marrying. Although it is the rule of the family's concubines, it is also a marriage between the concubine of the family and the concubine of the family.

These humble scholars are nothing! Wanting to marry a concubine from an aristocratic family is a dream, but now that their life is easier, they despise the concubine instead. "

"Mother, your scolding is justified, but now it seems that it is the same as what Ruoyi said, and there is only the Sun family." Zheng Xiaodao, "What do you think of the wedding at the end of June?"

Mrs. Qiao said: "Hey, since she has made up her mind, let's do what she said. It's just that the wedding is approaching, so don't treat her badly. There is also a dowry... You should give her less dowry that can be easily sold."

Zheng Xiao would not be harsh on the concubine's dowry, and said: "Mother, how can this be? At least it should be the same as Ruofeng's dowry, right?"

Mrs. Qiao said: "It's not that you don't know her. You gave her a dowry that can be easily sold. In two or three days, she will definitely sell the dowry and buy all the bookstores in Chang'an."

Zheng Xiao smiled and said: "That's true, then I will prepare more profitable shops for her with our Qiao family, so that she will not sell the shops to buy famous calligraphy and paintings."

After the marriage was negotiated, the Hou Mansion began intensive preparations for the marriage.

At the end of June, the weather was extremely hot, and they were about to get married the next day. When Qiao Ruoyi went to worship the ancestors in the family temple, there was a violent storm, thunder and lightning, which was very frightening.
