Wen Family Has a Wife

Everyone has now recognized the reality, one after another people made excuses to come to apologize, or to say hello, even the mother and daughter of the Xu family came here with several other Mrs. Shangshu.

Mrs. Dong's attitude towards them was indifferent, Mrs. Xu probably understood the meaning of Zhuo's family when she saw this, she was relieved, but she didn't go into it.

Everyone in the hall had different thoughts, and everyone restrained themselves after knowing Xiao Guang came in.

After saluting, Xiao Guang noticed that there was no familiar face on the side of Mrs. An's family, and his face suddenly sank.

Chen Ningya looked calm, but Xiao Yuyan giggled and asked: "Cousin, the capital city has been really busy these two days, and my trip here is really worthwhile! I just don't know that my cousin is ready Give me a satisfactory answer?"

Princess Tuochuan reminded at the right time, "Yuyan, it's a palace banquet now, is there anything that can't be discussed later?"

Xiao Yuyan looked at Princess Tuochuan, and said with a sneer: "Auntie, what you said is wrong, today is the end of today, I agreed at the beginning, if I had never entered the capital, I would not know that my cousin is in such a difficult situation! The capital really doesn't lack those ghosts and monsters."

Tuo Chuan was humiliated by the junior, and his face was very ugly.

Xiao Guang patted the table with a gloomy expression, "That's enough! Since my cousin wants an answer from me, I'll give it to you. Come here and make an announcement!"

Eunuch Liu had been prepared for a long time, and came in respectfully with a shining imperial decree, and read aloud: "By God, the emperor summoned: From now on, the system of selecting concubines will be abolished. Unless I am over forty and have no children, this matter will not be discussed again." , hereby!"

"Your Majesty!" Princess Tuo Chuan frowned and was the first to object.

However, Xiao Guang waved his hand, and said righteously: "At the beginning, I had some agreement with the Lingnan Emperor secretly, and this can be regarded as my statement to the Lingnan Emperor, and this matter is settled like this."

Everyone was in doubt, and wanted to find out what the agreement was, but due to the presence of Xiao Yuyan and Bailiqing, they didn't dare to talk too much, so they could only hold back, and after the dinner, the matter became a foregone conclusion.

At this moment, everyone's eyes on the members of the Wen family changed. They thought he was a nouveau riche who was nothing to fear, but he turned out to be someone who could affect the minds of the emperors of the two countries.

Mrs. Xu was a little dazed when she heard the news, and she gave Xu Tang an annoyed look, clearly hating iron for nothing.

Xu Tang also regretted being too cautious, but after thinking about it, she felt that she was right. The Duke of Anguo's mansion is now full of flowers on the surface, who knows if the fire is cooking oil underneath, and if this prosperity is fleeting, she If you marry into Zhuo's family, you won't get any good, so it's better to find a safe family to marry.

The Xu family is not bad, and it will not be a problem to prosper for another hundred years.

No matter what everyone thinks, Xiao Yuyan felt relieved, raised her glass to Xiao Guang, and said loudly: "As expected of Emperor Qi, this princess is completely convinced by such boldness, well, I have no objections to this marriage. Here’s wishing you a hundred years of good cooperation and eternal unity!”

As she said that, Xiao Yuyan did her best first.

Xiao Guang sneered, but he also drank a cup in cooperation, but his expression seemed a bit aggrieved.

The emperor was displeased, and the people below did not dare to make a fuss, so a palace banquet ended hastily.

Chen Ningya left the palace, and brought Xiao Yuyan and Bailiqing back to Wen Mansion without saying a word.

However, Wen Youshan and the others also came back with the effort of front and rear feet. As soon as they came in, Wen Youshan almost knelt down to Xiao Yuyan.

Xiao Yuyan was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "What are you doing, Uncle?"

Wen Youshan, a big man with tears in his eyes, cried like a child, "If it weren't for the help of my niece, the emperor would not have decreed to abolish the selection of concubines. I have already thought about it before. If the emperor really wants to choose a concubine, I will I have to send the second girl out with all my life, and I can't let her suffer this kind of grievance."

Xiao Yuyan was a little embarrassed, and said with a guilty smile: "Uncle, if I told you that all of this is what Emperor Qi wanted, would you be angry?"

"What?" Not only Wen Youshan was dumbfounded, but Chen Ningya and the others were also surprised.

Xiao Yuyan waved her hand innocently and said: "It's not that I want to hide it from you, but it's just that this matter is not publicized. I told you, don't tell it. I didn't plan to come to the capital originally. Qi Huang sent someone in advance Going to Lingnan, after telling the father and mother about making the cousin a queen, the mother was the first to object, even the father was not very happy, so the two of them sprayed Mr. Shen and said they were going to the capital to rob him.

At that time, Baili and I were traveling in the mountains and rivers of Daqi. When we received the news, we were very angry and prepared to represent our father and queen mother. Unexpectedly, Mr. Shen, who was driven back halfway, stopped us. After several negotiations, Qi Huang's fox tail just showed, his purpose is to make us make trouble, so as to abolish the matter of choosing a concubine, which can be regarded as well-intentioned.

It's fine for you to be unhappy clearly, don't mind too much, I think it's not easy for him! "

Bailiqing looked at Xiao Yuyan curiously, "It's been so long since the princess has been here in Daqi, and this is the first time she has said such amazing words!"

Xiao Yuyan's face turned red, and she twisted Bailiqing's waist in anger, and asked fiercely: "What? I wasn't reasonable enough before, am I not gentle enough? You despise me!"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, princess! Please be gentle, it's black, it's really black..." Bai Liqing ran out screaming and screaming.

Xiao Yuyan chased him and beat him.

When the two walked away, the people in the room came back to their senses.

Wen Youshan opened his eyes wide and murmured: "My lady, have we misunderstood the emperor?"

Chen Ningya rolled her eyes at him angrily, "Need to say? But I think the emperor must not let us know on purpose, otherwise those people in the capital would have noticed it all at once. Now the emperor can not only justify his name Abolishing the selection of concubines will not ruin Jing girl's reputation, it is indeed well-intentioned!"

Speaking of which, Chen Ningya looked at Zhuo Qianyu, "Master, is the second girl's dowry ready?"

Zhuo Qianyu came back to his senses and nodded again and again, "Don't worry, mother, I have everything I need, and they are all prepared according to the standards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There are a total of three hundred and sixty loads."

Chen Ningya nodded in satisfaction. This number is indeed quite a lot. Ordinary families only marry a dozen daughters, and those who are slightly better will not exceed fifty. Those with higher family status are usually eighty-eight. It was 128 levies for the rich family, and 188 levies for Princess Qiongzhu when she got married. If it was a princess, it would be about 228 levies. They prepared 360 levies, which was enough.

On the contrary, Wen Youshan asked worriedly: "My lady, is three hundred and sixty carrying too much?"

Zhuo Qianyu hurriedly said: "Father, my daughter-in-law has tried her best to fill every box, there are so many things, there is really no way to reduce it."
