Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 196
"The third younger brother has a girl he likes, but because of his mother's filial piety, he procrastinated not to propose marriage." Miao explained.

"If you really believe that you don't care about her, then you won't marry her," Jiang Changning said.

The Miao family said with a sad face: "In order to let the county magistrate Xiaochang eat, Princess Yiya promised the magistrate Xiaochang that as long as the third brother is in high school, he will let the third brother marry her."

"With the third brother's talent and education, he will definitely be able to enter high school, so he will marry the county magistrate Xiaochang." Luo Shi didn't want a sister-in-law with such a distinguished status.

"But I'm also worried that Princess Yi Ya will interfere and make my third brother fail the ranking." Miao quickly added.

"Princess Yi Ya's hand can't be stretched that long. She can't interfere with the imperial examination. Sister-in-law doesn't have to worry."

"As for believing in the senior high school, Princess Yiya would marry County Lord Xiaochang to him. That's Princess Yiya's wishful thinking. With the presence of Prince Jin's mansion, she wouldn't dare to rob a man from a good family."

"Puchi..." Luo couldn't help laughing, "I've only heard about good women, but I haven't heard about good women and men."

After hearing Jiang Changning's words, the Zhou family sister-in-law felt a little relieved.

After sitting for a while, the two said goodbye and left.

In the evening, before Jiang Changning had time to talk about it, King Jin asked, "I heard that the girl from Yi Ya's family has taken a fancy to your grandma."

"My lord is very well informed." Jiang Changning handed him the teacup.

King Jin took a sip of tea and asked, "What does the Zhou family mean?"

"Believe in a sweetheart, I will come to propose marriage after the filial piety period is over." Jiang Changning also truthfully told what the Zhou family's sister-in-law was worried about.

King Jin smiled lightly and said, "The Zheng family can't cover the sky with one hand."

Prince Consort Zheng is idle. Although Father Zheng occupies the position and refuses to become an official, he has no real power for a long time. It is impossible to intervene in Chunwei.

It is not only Xiaochang county magistrate who has his eyes on the poor students, but several families are also eyeing them.

These people are not as lucky as Zhou Duxin. With the Jin Palace as their reliance, they don't need to be subdued to deal with it.

Of course, there are also people who enjoy it very much. Marrying a high-ranking daughter-in-law will be of great help to their official career.

These matters have nothing to do with Jiang Changning, as long as Zhou Duxin doesn't delay her future by Princess Yi Ya.

As the days passed, it was the Lantern Festival.

Prince Jin's Mansion wants to celebrate Qiao's anniversary, so it's not easy to go out to watch the lanterns.

In the early morning, the maid brought Yuanxiao for breakfast.

King Jin saw that Jiang Changning had eaten a few and stopped eating, "But I made a fuss yesterday? It made you lose your appetite."

Jiang Changning glared at him, and the man spoke more and more unscrupulously, "This stuff is hard to overcome, if you eat too much, your stomach will bloat."

"That's right." King Jin nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Jiang Changning sent King Jin out.

During the Lantern Festival, although the King of Jin didn't have to go to the early court, but the Spring Festival was coming, he was very busy as a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and had to go to the Yamen to do some work.

"My lord, go early and come back early, I'm waiting for you at the mansion." Jiang Changning pretended to be virtuous and authentic.

King Jin smiled, and reached out to touch her cheek, "This king will return immediately, and I will never let the princess wait to become a husband-wife stone."

The couple teased a few words, Jin Wang took Chang Youzhong out, and Jiang Changning went to care about Princess Kangren's going out.

Today is the Lantern Festival, and it is also Qiao's anniversary. According to Daqin's custom, you have to go to the ancestral hall, invite the memorial tablet to the Huifu to worship overnight, and then send it back to the ancestral hall tomorrow.

This matter should have been borne by his son, but Qiao's family has no children, and only Princess Kangren is the daughter, so naturally only Princess Kangren will do this.

When Jiang Changning went to Liuxuan Courtyard, Princess Kangren was still eating Lantern Festival. Seeing her coming in, she hurriedly got up and said, "Aunt Wang."

"You don't have to be so polite when you eat yours." Jiang Changning walked up to the concubine, and asked her if she slept well at night as usual.

"Okay, sleep till dawn." The concubine smiled.

Jiang Changning said again: "The Lantern Festival is made of glutinous rice flour, it's not very refined, mother and concubine eat a few and taste it, so don't eat it."

For the big festival, the concubine still listened to the persuasion, "Okay, I just happen to be full too."

After a few more gossips, Jiang Changning came out with Princess Kang Ren, "Everything has been arranged properly, you just go and invite her."

"Thank you Aunt Wang for taking care of me." Princess Kang Ren said gratefully.

"Silly boy, what are you thankful for?" Jiang Changning smiled, "You guys go out with the princess, protect the princess well, don't let anyone bump into the princess."

Several maidservants agreed in unison.

After sending Princess Kangren away, Jiang Changning asked his servants to hang lanterns in various courtyards of the mansion.

It was supposed to be hung yesterday, but because it is Qiao's anniversary, although there is no need to observe filial piety, it is not too festive, so the lanterns are only hung on the fifteenth day to meet the occasion.

Princess Kangren's carriage left the palace and headed for the royal ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall that enshrines the relatives of the near branch is on the left rear side of the palace, a little distance from Jinwangfu.

It is closer to pass through the palace, but Princess Kangren's carriage cannot pass through the palace, so it can only take a detour.

It rained heavily last night, the road was a bit slippery, the carriage was not traveling fast, and it took almost an hour to reach the ancestral hall.

Princess Kangren got off the carriage, and the officer guarding the ancestral hall came over to salute her and asked, "I have seen the princess, please greet her."

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite. I'm here today to invite Jiaci's memorial tablet back home to enshrine for the anniversary, and I also ask you to lead the way." Princess Kangren said politely.

"Princess Jin has already sent someone to say hello, everything is ready, princess, please come in." The official said.

Under the leadership of the small official, Princess Kangren walked into the ancestral hall accompanied by four guards and two maidservants.

The door of the ancestral hall was closed all year round, and there was a stench mixed with incense inside. Princess Kangren subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, but she put it down immediately.

The little official stopped, "Princess, the memorial tablet of the command hall is on it."

Princess Kangren looked up at Qiao's memorial tablet, with a touch of sadness in her eyes. Although their mother and daughter did not have a deep relationship, they were close relatives after all.

A maid brought over the gold and silver foil and the burning paper basin, and a maid brought the futon.

Princess Kangren burned incense and knelt down.

While burning the gold and silver foil, she whispered: "Concubine Mother, my daughter's life is very good. Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang treat her like their own. You don't have to worry about her over there."

After she burned the gold and silver foil, she covered the memorial tablet with a red scarf, and walked out with her hands in her hands, "Mother Concubine, my daughter will take you back to celebrate the anniversary."

Holding the memorial tablet, he left the ancestral hall, got into the carriage, and walked back.

Before the carriage moved forward steadily, it stopped suddenly.

Fortunately, Princess Kangren didn't fall down when the maid was supporting her extremely well.

"Uncle Dian, what's wrong?"

"Princess, someone ran out suddenly and fell in front of the car."

Princess Kangren signaled the maidservant to open the car door and looked out, only to see a man sitting slumped under the horse's hoof.

"Lianpeng, will it hurt if you go down and ask?" Princess Kangren looked at the figure, he looked like a young man, as a lady, she got out of the car to ask.

The servant girl was ordered to get out of the carriage, walked over and asked, "My lord, where is the injury?"

　I still use my mobile phone to code, my right arm is weak, I don’t know if it has damaged my hand nerves.
