Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 97 Candidates

The atmosphere was a bit depressing, Grandma Fu saw this, and said with a smile: "On the mountain of Hongluo Temple, Buddha's light appeared."

Most of the women in the inner house believed in Buddhism. Hearing this, Mrs. Fu San laughed and said, "When the Buddha's light appeared that day, the eldest cousin of Gu Rong's aunt's family was in the temple. She saw it with her own eyes. Suddenly, a red cloud appeared in the clouds. , orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple seven-color aura."

"Amitabha." Mrs. Fu clasped her hands together, "The Buddha has appeared."

Buddhists believe that the Buddha's light is the light of salvation and auspiciousness emitted from the eyebrows of the Buddha. Only those who have a relationship with the Buddha can see the Buddha's light.

Jiang Changning's brows moved slightly, and he said without disappointment that the Buddha's light has nothing to do with the Buddha. The Buddha's light is an astronomical phenomenon, which can also be called a solar halo.

It is formed by the refraction or reflection of ice crystals when sunlight passes through cirrostratus clouds.

The time when the Buddha's light appears is mostly in the afternoon of summer or early winter, and the appearance of the Buddha's light in the late winter is also considered strange.

"Didn't the Qi family always go to Dajue Temple to worship incense, why did they go to Hongluo Temple?" Mrs. Fu asked in surprise.

"Go to Hongluo Temple to ask for a marriage. Jiang Yu is 20 or [-] years old, and no one cares about her. You can't ask the Buddha for a good marriage." Mrs. Fu Er said with a curled lip.

"She bears Kefu's reputation, so she can get a good marriage." Mrs. Fu sighed.

Jiang Yu is the granddaughter of Princess Gurong, she has the title of Township Monarch, but her two fiancés died in a row, so that she is still in her boudoir in her [-]th year of life.

"This year is the year of the Grand Competition. There are so many students. If you choose someone with good character among them, this marriage will be successful." Mrs. Fu San laughed.

"I'm afraid that Mrs. Qi thinks that she is from a poor family and is not good enough for her daughter." Mrs. Fu Er said with a strange tone.

"It's good if someone is willing to marry. If she dares to dislike her, then she can only keep her daughter at home as an old lady." Mrs. Fu San laughed.

"It's not okay to designate a pensioner girl. The girl has to marry out when she grows up, or she will be raised and raised to make enemies." Mrs. Fu laughed.

The women and Taoists sat together and talked about these things. After lunch, when Shen Shichu left, Jiang Changning had already listened to a lot of gossip.

I thought that listening to the gossip was enough, but Jiang Changning, who had just returned home after going out, leaned on the kang and took a nap on the pillow in the afternoon on the fourth day of the lunar new year.

Shu Fei came in to report the news, "Princess Yirao held a Lantern Festival at the Princess Mansion on the twelfth, Miss Zhuang Wu received the invitation."

Jiang Changning opened his eyes in surprise, "Princess Yirao held a lantern show and sent invitations to Zhuang Qingmei?"

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly understood that Princess Yirao was choosing a concubine for Xiong Consort.

It's just a concubine and beauty, Zhuang Qingmei's appearance is really not beautiful.

"My servant is sure, the old lady Zhuang is busy making new clothes and jewelry for Miss Zhuang Wu."

Jiang Changning's bright eyes rolled, and he suddenly realized the state of mind of Eldest Princess Yirao and couldn't help but chuckled.

Princess Yirao was forced to accept a concubine for her son-in-law, in order to be an heir, so how could she be willing to accept a beauty for him.

Although Zhuang Qingmei's appearance is not good, but her body is strong, she looks like a good child.

Just as Jiang Changning thought, Princess Yirao sent ten invitations in total, all of whom were ordinary-looking concubines from third- and fourth-rank official families.

Jiang Changning didn't care whether Zhuang Qingmei would be chosen by Eldest Princess Yirao to be a concubine in the princess mansion.

Even if Zhuang Qingmei became Prince Xiong's concubine, Jiang Changning would not look at her high.

On the morning of the fifth day, Shu Fei came in with a few posts.

Looking at the post in her hand, Jiang Changning had a headache, "It's really more tiring than usual during the holidays. Today I finally took a day off at home, and here comes this post again."

The customs of the New Year's Eve are not much different from modern times. People who have contacts pay New Year's greetings to each other, and those who have no contacts, politely send gifts and New Year greeting cards.

"After a few days of work, it will be fine when the night comes out." Shu Fei smiled and offered the post with both hands.

Jiang Changning flipped through the posts, and one of them was Xie's house.

Xie Mansion?

It turns out that Xie Baoyin's father, Xie Jiancheng, has been transferred to the capital. Xie Baoyin was not easy to disturb a few years ago, so today he sent a greeting card.

"Reply to Xie's family servant, just say that I'm free tomorrow, please come over tomorrow, miss Xie." Jiang Changning has a good impression of Xie Baoyin and is willing to have contacts with him.

The Jiang family of Baling Palace also handed over an invitation to come in, Jiang Changning sneered, this person hasn't given up yet.

"I've been turned down, I'm so busy, I'll see this boring person when I have time."

There are more than a dozen concubines in the house, and I really don't want to recruit more.

Five posts, four greeting posts, and one post from Wenderbeg Mansion.

Jiang Changning looked confused, not to mention that Prince Jin's Mansion and Wendebo Mansion had never had any communication, how could he post a post to her with a family like Wendebo Mansion?

If the wheel is close, the son of Wendebo is going to marry Zhuang Dayue. Given her relationship with the Zhuang family, she should be on the side of the son of Wendebo.

In February, the eldest son of Wendebo is going to have a wedding. Mrs. Wendebo's invitation to her is really fascinating.

"If someone responds to this post, just say I don't have time." Jiang Changning threw the post on the kang table.

Shu Fei took the post, blessed herself and backed out.

In the afternoon, King Jin came back from outside, smelling of alcohol all over his body.

"Although the Chinese New Year is festive, it's not the way to drink like this. Last night, I came back drunk, sobered up in the morning, and drank like this again at noon." Jiang Changning said angrily while helping him untie his belt.

King Jin looked at her with a smile and let her babble.

"Xiaoxiaoxiao, what are you laughing at, are you so drunk that you can't even talk?" Jiang Changning put his belt on the kang.

King Jin fell to her sideways, Jiang Changning was afraid that he would fall, so he hurriedly supported him, "Quickly get on the kang and lean on it."

"Ningning, sweet one." King Jin pursed his lips and stuck it to Jiang Changning's face.

Jiang Changning didn't have any free hands, so he could only turn his face away, "Oh, don't make trouble."

"Just make trouble." King Jin said with a smile.

With a little effort, Jiang Changning pulled King Jin onto the kang and let him lie down.

The maid brought in the hangover soup, Jiang Changning pushed him, "Yongzhou, get up and drink the hangover soup."

"You feed me." Jin Wang sat up on the kang table.

The half-drunk King Jin was too clingy, Jiang Changning didn't want to argue with the drunk, so he picked up the bowl and brought it to his mouth, "Drink, my lord."

King Jin took her hand and drank the hangover soup.

Jiang Changning pulled the thin blanket and put it on King Jin's body.

Half an hour later, Jiang Changning saw that King Jin was almost sober, so he asked the maidservant to prepare hot water, "Yong Zhou, go take a bath, take it easy."

"I fell asleep." Jin Wang cheated.

Jiang Changning chuckled, "You can still talk while asleep, are you talking in your sleep?"

"Ningning, you're really smart." King Jin praised with a smile.

"It's useless to praise me, you have to get up and take a bath, hurry up." Jiang Changning pulled him up.

King Jin had no choice but to take a bath in the bathroom. After taking a hot bath, the drunkenness disappeared.
