Fair Lady

Shuyao smiled indifferently, Qi Haoning said in the last letter that everything went well, implying that she could rush back to the capital to attend her wedding ceremony.

Time flies so fast, from the time she opened her eyes again at the age of six to now, it will soon be nine years, and the long nightmare of her previous life is getting farther and farther away from her.

Mother Liu, who was following Shuyao, smiled and shook her head. Everyone knows that Princess Fuxing, who was born in the market, can have her current demeanor thanks to the teaching of her, a palace nurse. Only she knows that her girl's This calmness and stability are almost innate, as light as a lotus, not surprised by favor or insult.

Sometimes, even Liu's mother, who is used to seeing nobles in the palace, can't help secretly sighing at the wisdom and natural and unique temperament of the three Shuyao brothers and sisters.Even if they only wear the most common clothes and stand in the crowd, they are bound to be recognized at a glance, which is beyond the reach of the heads of many aristocratic families.

In the hall of the old lady's courtyard, Xiaoguai and Huohuo "brought" Roll and Dudu to play on the big felt blanket on the ground. Crawling around, but no matter how swaying Gungun and Dudu are, they will never fall to the ground. Xiaoguai can always adjust his body posture in time to stabilize them, not to mention there is a nimble Huohuo beside him .Huo Huo is bouncing around with a colorful kick, but her eyes follow the two little babies.

The nannies and maids could only wait outside the felt blanket (mainly serving food), the weather was starting to get hot, and if they got too close, the two spirit beasts, especially Huohuo, would be very unhappy.

The old lady, Mo Niang and Nan Gongmiao are discussing Shuyao and Jili with great interest.

The Two Marquis Mansions have always been low-key and don't like to make publicity, but Shuyao is now the emperor's "Lucky Star of the Great Zhou".There is also such a high-profile gift as "Fumanyuan", they can't do it if they want to be low-key.

But Shuyao is the only girl in the Two Marquis Mansion, the jewel in the palm, Jin Xida and Shujie didn't want to keep a low profile on this matter.The two most important and shining days in a woman's life, except for the day of marriage, are when she is born. How could they want to wrong Shuyao a little bit?

In this way, no matter whether it is public or private, no matter which aspect is considered, Shuyao's wedding ceremony will be grand and grand.

The Blessing Garden bestowed by the emperor was completed two days ago.The Jiji Ceremony will naturally be held in Fuman Garden.Fumanyuan is two to three times the size of the two marquis' mansions, and as we all know, Fumanyuan has an extraordinary view, the courtyard is in the garden, and the garden surrounds the house. It was specially built by the Empress Dowager for the eldest grandson, King Beiqi.It took huge financial and material resources, and it is a real work of Seiko.

When Fumanyuan was officially handed over yesterday, the emperor bestowed two gold-lettered plaques, one was "Fumanyuan" and the other was "Fuxingyuan".In other words, the main courtyard in Fuman Garden.It will be "Fuxing Garden" in the future.

Thanks to Mrs. Nangong's reminder, Nangong Miao had people rush to make all kinds of furniture a few months ago.A large amount of valuable wood for making furniture.For other families, it was indeed difficult to raise funds in a short period of time, but the Lianghou Mansion had the in-laws of Nangong Mansion and the huge caravan of the Nangong Family to help, so it was naturally not that difficult.

As for the decorations, the rewards and gifts that Shuyao received over the years are enough.The rewards from the palace, the gifts from Prince Yong and Qi Haoning to Shuyao are all eye-catching things.Shuyao saved the emperor twice, and both the emperor and the queen mother gave generous rewards.have to say.Just counting the objects and jewelry that Shuyao herself received, she is a veritable rich woman.

Because of these preparations and resources.Although time is tight, Nangong Miao and Mo Niang are not in a hurry. Mo Niang is mainly responsible for arranging the decoration of Fuman Garden and the daily affairs in the Lianghou Mansion, while Nangong Miao is mainly focusing on various affairs organized by Shuyao and Yanli in the near future. .

When it comes to Jiji ceremony, the first thing is the guest list.

Jin Xida and Shujie had a special position beside the emperor, they were not close to the dignitaries of the aristocratic family and most officials in the court, so the two princes' mansions rarely held any banquets, especially large ones.

But Shuyao's Jiji ceremony is special this time. The emperor gave Jiji a gift early in the morning, and the Jiji ceremony was held in the much-anticipated Fumanyuan, which has a very different meaning.If any of the countable mansions did not receive the invitation for the Jiji ceremony, I am afraid that there will be a feeling of being ignored and rejected, so they "inquire" and "hint" through various channels early in the morning, for fear of being forgotten.

Although the Two Marquis Mansions don't want to be "too good" in popularity, they can't be withdrawn, can they?Especially for the Jiji ceremony of the girl's family, it is best to receive blessings widely, but wouldn't it be unfair to attract criticism and accusations?

But drawing up this list requires a lot of knowledge. Which mansion will post how many posts, who to post, and how to arrange the seats for the banquet are all particular.No, Mrs. Jin thought for a while, and said to Nangong Miao: "You still need to ask your mother and Mrs. Weiyuan Hou to help you take a look."

Nan Gongmiao nodded in response: "Yes, grandma, I will also list the list of proposed mansions to my foster father and Shujie in advance." Jie is here, there must be a lot of male guests coming to celebrate, and there will be male seats for Jiji ceremony.

What's more, with the experience of the "recognition banquet" before, none of them can guarantee whether the emperor will suddenly have any "thoughts" about the selection of guests for this ceremony.Of course, if the emperor is willing to make a list in person with a swipe of a pen, the Second Marquis Mansion will welcome it very much. This is the most troublesome task.

Seeing Shuyao coming in, Nangong Miao said with a smile: "Yao'er is back, just in time, three sets of dresses have been delivered, you can try them on later to see if there is any problem, especially the long sleeve dress, try it on." After that, the embroiderers will have to do the final finishing touches." The three dresses were all designed, sewn, and embroidered by the top embroiderers of Nangong Garment Workshop a few months ago, and the materials used are also extremely exquisite. The dress with large sleeves is made of the latest luxurious fabric, and Shu Yao will be the first person to wear this fabric.After the Jiji ceremony, the Nangong family's cloth shop will be rolled out.

Women love beauty, and Shuyao is no exception, but what she values ​​more is the affection condensed in it.For example, these three dresses in this life are the deep love of the sister-in-law and Mrs. Nangong for her, just like the simple, even shabby red clothes and silk flowers in the previous life, which consumed all Aunt Mei's savings.

Shuyao heard the discussion between the old lady and the three, and really felt that she was too troublesome about the ceremony, but after two lifetimes, she is not just a blank sheet of paper, so she naturally knows that besides the endless love of her family, there is also There are some unavoidable and necessary factors, and the noble status also has "noble" helplessness.

The two marquis' mansions are busy with Shuyao's and Jili's ceremony, but the concubine Zhao's mother and daughter in Prince Yong's mansion are irritable because of Shuyao's and Jili's coming.

Fumanyuan is the closest to Prince Yong's Mansion, and the rushed construction for more than half a year has seriously "injured" their mother and daughter both physically and mentally. Jealousy eats.As long as they think that the Fuman Garden, which symbolizes the ultimate imperial favor and noble status, belongs to Xia Shuyao, their hearts are like being pricked by countless needles.

Qi Yuexin and his wife lived in Prince Yong's Mansion for about ten months a year. Others looked at them with disdain, but they were still complacent, and they kept saying that they had been marked as Prince Yong's Mansion.

At first, Concubine Zhao thought it would be good for her daughter to be by her side often, and she was willing to subsidize her daughter and son-in-law, so as to put a little money on his son-in-law's face.Unexpectedly, Ruan Wenxin was so unceremonious, he regarded Prince Yong's Mansion as his home more and more, and held banquets for colleagues, Jinshi of the same discipline, or fellow villagers every three days, holding a poetry meeting today, and a flower viewing banquet tomorrow , It's really lively.

Ruan Wenxin was showing off, and Concubine Zhao's purse was about to collapse.The monthly expenses in her hands are fixed, and it is very sufficient for the normal expenses of the palace, but she not only has to supplement her natal brothers from time to time, but also saves some private money.Her dowry is not rich, how can she support her only son Qi Haoxiang if she doesn't save some money?If you don't have private property in your hands, you will have no confidence in facing your daughter-in-law.

What made Concubine Zhao even more discouraged was that the people Ruan Wenxin could invite were all unable to help him in his official career, they ate and drank, then patted their butts and left, and then showed off that they had also been guests at Prince Yong's Mansion .

Who really has some ability, qualifications, or status, who doesn't have a clear eye?Visiting Prince Yong?The Wangfu is surnamed Qi but not Ruan.Although Prince Yong and the Crown Prince were not there, there were people watching from above.

Gradually, Concubine Zhao became a little impatient. She expected this son-in-law to help her and Qi Haoxiang, not to help him spend money.

And Ruan Wenxin was also very disappointed. He found that even though he became Prince Yong's son-in-law and the emperor's niece-in-law, and entertained guests in Prince Yong's mansion every day, the Shangguan didn't give him face, let alone promote him.Even those happy people who came to eat and drink turned around and left and laughed at him behind his back as "there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys rule the king" and "they treat themselves as masters".Once he rushed to greet Jin Xida to find relatives, but Jin Xida just glanced at him and left...

At first, there was a feeling of being cheated, but after seeing the impatience and disgust on Concubine Zhao's face, Ruan Wenxin finally felt that his self-esteem had been seriously hurt. In addition, the honeymoon period and freshness were over, and he was also in front of Qi Yuexin. She no longer pretended to be coaxing, and even questioned her status in Prince Yong's mansion face to face, saying the word "concubine" at every turn, so angry that Qi Yuexin threw the porcelain in the house to the ground every three days.

It wasn't until the news of Shuyao and Jili's upcoming arrival that Ruan Wenxin gave up temporarily the idea of ​​moving out of Prince Yong's Mansion in order to get a post to attend the banquet in "Fuman Garden", and coaxed Qi Yuexin to come.
