Shu Blossoms

Chapter 254

On the tenth day of August, autumn is getting stronger, and there is a hint of coolness in the morning.

Today is Zheng Wei's Jiji ceremony, the Zheng family has a girl who has just grown up, after today, the aristocratic families in Jiankang and Dazhou can visit their homes to propose marriage.

Zheng Wei, who was still full of hope for Ji Ji Li, felt slightly melancholy after what happened yesterday.

Yesterday, she bid farewell to all the classmates of Taixue, officially left Taixue, and felt empty when she returned home.

But before she could lick this loneliness alone, the eldest princess' beaming laughter came in.

"Wei'er" the eldest princess pulled Zheng Wei to sit aside, and laughed before saying anything, "You will be ready tomorrow, the matchmaker came several times a few days ago, like the Qian family in Yangzhou, the Lu family in Jingzhou, the Fan family in Jingzhou, Liu’s family, they are all farming and studying families for generations, and they are a scholarly family. However, Jingzhou is too far away. Auntie thinks we should take a look at the few families in Yangzhou. They are not far away. Auntie and grandpa can go there in the future look at you"

Zheng Wei was nagged by the eldest princess, and the little disappointment in her heart was also blown away.

However, she was not too worried, after all, His Majesty had already promised herself that she would give the Zheng family an order to enter the palace to protect the two princes.

So I was still in the mood to tease the eldest princess, "Aniang, wouldn't it be closer to find a family in Jiankang, I can still come back from time to time to be filial to you."

The eldest princess stared angrily when she heard the words, "What are you talking about, if you make such a fuss, which man in Jiankang City dares to marry you? You said that as the princess, you should be the most sought-after talent." Yes, as a result, up to now, no one has anything to offer. It's not as good as that girl from the Wu family."

Zheng Wei was angry, "A Niang, Linger is my friend!"

Wu Ling is Zheng Wei's new friend in Taixue, and she is also one of the few women whom she considers a friend.

She and Zheng Wei are the only two women in the Taixue, but Ling'er was born in a family of military generals, inherited her father's inheritance, born tall and tall, stronger than men of the same age.

Anyway, in terms of strength alone, neither of us can compare to Wu Ling.

"I don't mean anything else. Although that girl is born taller, it is good to have a kind heart." The eldest princess also knew that what she said just now was inappropriate, so she changed her words, "I'm talking about you, although Ling'er The appearance is not outstanding, but the family is also engaged, and they can go home and get married as soon as the day comes. What do you think of you? You can be regarded as beautiful and graceful, but there are so many promising sons in the Taixue. Go around you!"

"Everyone who walks around me can't beat me, so they can't be regarded as promising! Besides, I can't beat everyone!"

Zheng Wei retorted without fear of death.

The eldest princess was itching to scratch her ears, "Then why didn't they come to the door?"

"Most of them are married!" Zheng Wei still had a playful smile, "It's no wonder I!"

After she finished speaking, she jumped to the distance with self-knowledge. Seeing that she couldn't catch her, the eldest princess took a deep breath to force herself to calm down.

What my husband said is right, this girl is getting more and more cunning, and she can take me away with just a few words, so don't be angry, otherwise not only will you not be able to talk about the business today, but you will be pissed off by this girl!

She really regretted it, if this girl had been thrown to the old lady to raise her when she was a child, wouldn't she have developed such a naughty temperament by herself.

"Don't think that I don't know what you're planning. Your father and I won't agree to your marching." The eldest princess's voice became serious, "You promised us before you entered the imperial school!"

After speaking, the eldest princess softened again, her voice choked with sobs, "We can't take it anymore when you think that you were taken to Dawei back then without knowing your life or death."

Zheng Wei saw that A Niang was really sad, thinking of those days four years ago, she immediately felt guilty, and didn't dare to offend her own mother anymore, so she hurried over to help her and coaxed her: "A Niang, I was wrong, I I will definitely do what I promised you, last month my uncle asked me to join the Forbidden Army and serve as the Central Guard, but I refused!"

In order to coax her own mother, Zheng Wei sold out her majesty's uncle without hesitation.

As expected, the eldest princess couldn't care less about being sad, and said sharply, "What? Joining the Imperial Army? Why didn't you tell me earlier! What does he want to do? No, I have to go to the palace and ask him!"

Zheng Wei hurriedly grabbed the eldest princess, and explained repeatedly: "Aniang, don't worry, I have already refused, and His Majesty has also agreed, no longer let me join the Forbidden Army."

The eldest princess heaved a sigh of relief, sat down slowly and took a sip of water, then suddenly stood up again, startling Zheng Wei, "Aniang, what's wrong?"

"No, I have to go to the official media and ask him to quickly bring all the portraits of the gentlemen who match our family and you. Let's pick and choose a date early so that the emperor won't be planning on his nephew all day long. .”

"Aniang, my uncle loves me!" Zheng Wei explained on behalf of Emperor Zhou, dumbfounded, and the eldest princess snorted softly: "He loves you, and my family will not be merciless when using it!"

After finishing speaking, she left in a hurry. She could already foresee that her life would be difficult in the future, and she felt like shooting herself in the foot with a stone.

"Princess, it's time, you should go out!"

Zheng Wei, who was in a trance, was suddenly awakened by Ah Qiao, only to realize that today is her Ji Ji ceremony, and she should go out to receive the gift.

Jiji etiquette rules are complicated. Although she is the most impatient with rules on weekdays, today is her coming-of-age ceremony, and she will be a real adult in the future. Thinking about it, she is a little excited, so she patiently follows the rules seriously. do.

The guest of honor invited by the eldest princess is the mistress of Langya Wang's family, who is now the wife of Situ Wang Can of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Today's praisers are not small, the mistress of the Xiao family in Lanling, also the mother of Xiao Yucheng.

According to my mother, the Xiao family took the initiative to come to the house a few days ago to pay tribute, and the eldest princess originally planned to find a stable manager from home.

Now that Mrs. Xiao took the initiative to mention it, the eldest princess naturally couldn't shirk it, and she was quite proud of it, after all, such a daughter's ceremony would be more dignified.

The guest of honor sang and said: "Etiquette is prepared, and the auspicious day of the month is announced. The word is Er, the word is Kong Jia, and the lady is suitable. It is suitable for Gu, and it will be protected forever. It is called Miaoyi."

Zheng Wei said to him: "Although Miaoyi is not sensitive, I dare not come here late at night."

After the Jiji ceremony was over, Zheng Wei returned to the inner house, the Eldest Princess invited Wang Shi and Xiao Shi to the main hall for tea, waiting for the banquet later.

Although there are not many visitors today, their identities are very valuable. Several old wives and mistresses from the clan have come, as well as several female relatives of the Duke's family.

Everyone sat around the hall and ate melons and fruits, while talking about the gossip of the parents in Jiankang City.

It wasn't just someone who started the conversation, talking about Da Wei's coming to congratulate Zheng Wei and Ji Li, whispering, "Why didn't you see that Da Wei's mission come today?"

"I heard that many rare things were sent here, but the eldest princess still remembers the auction of the princess in the Wei Dynasty a few years ago, and because there are many female relatives today, it is not suitable for foreign men to participate, so she was kicked out."

"Didn't you say you came to propose marriage to the Princess?"

After the man finished speaking, the lady next to her hurriedly pulled her a few times, signaling her to be careful when speaking.

"Your Majesty really loves this princess. I heard that I originally planned to come to watch the ceremony in person, but unfortunately I felt unwell early in the morning and couldn't make it."
