Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 327
The housekeeper had already opened the door, and Zhao Zhixian rushed over with a group of officers and soldiers.When Second Master Ning and Uncle Ning saw this situation, their calves were trembling.Could it be that some catastrophe has happened to their family, and they will be ransacked and exterminated?

"Master Zhao..." Second Master Ning stepped forward tremblingly, nodded and bowed.

He was about to salute, but who knew, Zhixian Zhao grasped his hand, Second Master Ning was so frightened that he was about to break out in a cold sweat.

Second Master Ning raised his head cautiously, only to see Zhixian Zhao with a "treacherous" smile: "Hey, my in-laws!"

When Second Master Ning heard the words, he almost collapsed. When did they get married again?Ning Miao and Mr. Zhao had divorced four years ago!
"Let the whole family come out and kneel!" said a white-faced and shrill man next to Zhaozhi County.

Second Master Ning was still in a daze, but suddenly he was shouted again, and the whole family had to kneel together, his head thumped, is this really a big deal?This Zhao Zhixian is still playing a trick on himself!
Second Master Ning was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.I want to intercede with Zhao County Zhixian, but there are a large group of officers and soldiers around, besides this, there is also a short and fat official, his face turns pale when he shakes, because he recognizes that this is the prefect, so the housekeeper hurriedly to call someone.

The whole family of the Ning family came out quickly, Mrs. Ning, Uncle Ning, Mrs. Tian, ​​Mrs. Gu, Ning Miao, who was still unmarried, and Ning Xiang, the eighth youngest girl, went to the vestibule of the hall together, looking at the dark A group of officers and soldiers, the body is shaking.

"Kneel!" the white-faced man screamed.

The members of the Ning family had already lost their feet, and with a plop, they knelt down.

I only heard a high-pitched voice, high pitched and powerful, as if singing and saying: "By God's blessing, the emperor said: There is a daughter Ning Qing in the Ning family in Yuecheng. The son of the prince, Song Zhuo, was destined to be married, a match made in heaven. After writing it, he was canonized as the concubine of the prince of Chen, and he was married on August 29, hereby!"

Until the Xuanzhi eunuch finished reading the last word, everyone in the Ning family still couldn't recover for a long time.

"What... Princess Concubine? Is this all true?" Second Master Ning was the first to recover.

"Presumptuous, the imperial decree is still false?" Xuanzhi eunuch snorted, pointing at the orchid, "Quickly get up and receive the decree! The concubine will arrive in Yuecheng in a few days, so hurry up and get ready to receive it!"

Second Master Ning received the imperial edict, his eyes sparkled with excitement.

Old Madam Ning and the others also blushed.Old Madam Ning even wept with joy: "It's all true! The fifth girl is back! And she was conferred the title of Princess Concubine! Bless the ancestors! Bless the Buddha!"

"This... is really a good thing!" Gu's face was happy for a while, but then she stopped responding.Their Ning family has another concubine, who is the light of the Ning family, but why is this concubine the most unworthy third wife, not their second wife?
Thinking about it, he involuntarily glanced at Ning Miao.

Ning Miao was so angry that her face turned blue.That little bitch Ning Qing clearly said that she ran away with a man from some other country, and Song Zhuo was also deposed, why did she suddenly come back?
When she learned that Ning Qing was abducted by a wild man, she was so happy.Little bitch, let you marry the prince, now you are despised by others, so you can only run away with wild men!
That Song Zhuo deserved to be deposed, but he actually looked down on her... Well, she didn't want to be seen by him!Anyway, he actually put that little bitch in the palm of his hand, so he should be deposed!

Now, what is it?
Not only did Song Zhuo come back, but he was also reappointed as the crown prince. That little bitch Ning Qing was actually crowned the crown prince?
Ning Miao almost lost her breath.

She felt that the best end for Ning Qing would be to become Song Zhuo's noble concubine. How could she think that she was not even a side concubine, but a first wife!

"Second Ning, Mrs. Ning, congratulations! Your family first gave birth to a prince and concubine, and now a prince and concubine," Zhao Zhixian said with a smile.

"Hehehe, thank you, thank you!" Second Master Ning suddenly felt elated.

"You are the head of the Ning family?" Xuanzhi eunuch asked.

"Yes. Thank you, Father-in-law!" Second Master Ning had already guessed the identity of the eunuch.

Mrs. Ning asked the housekeeper to go down to prepare, and took a purse and stuffed it into the hands of Second Master Ning.Second Master Ning immediately stuffed it into the eunuch's hand: "Small idea, father-in-law has worked hard all the way, so buy some water and wine on the way back."

The eunuch pinched it, and inside was a small silver ingot, about ten taels or so.With a curl of his lips, he traveled a long distance and sealed the first-rank imperial concubine, so he gave this little.But thinking of Ning Qing being favored by Song Zhuo and the queen mother, she dared not offend, so she still put on a smile.

"Father-in-law, please, the housewives have asked someone to prepare tea and rice." Mrs. Gu stepped forward with a smile.

"No need. Our family has to rush back to Beijing to return. This is Nanny Liu and Guanshi Zheng." The eunuch said suddenly.

Mrs. Ning saw that Nanny Liu was a woman with a round face and a smile on her face, while Guan Shi was very serious, but she looked like a powerful character. "The two are..."

"The maidservant and steward Zheng were both sent by the prince. The concubine is coming back, so naturally she has to clean the house." Madam Liu said.

Clean the house?Looking back, I saw that Liu Mama and Zheng Guanshi were followed by about twenty people, some men and some women.Everyone in the Ning family was startled.

Old Madam Ning remembered clearly that when Princess Chen got married, she didn't even announce the decree, let alone accompanied by her parents and magistrate.Because the concubine Chen Wang married Chen Wang as his second concubine, it was just an ordinary appointment, not even a marriage bestowed by the emperor.At that time, upon hearing the news of the marriage, only the Ning family was enthusiastically preparing for the preparations, and there was no movement at the Palace of Prince Chen. After a few months, a housekeeper was sent to deliver the betrothal gift. Welcome away.Please seal it after marriage, and it will be done in Chenwang Mansion, so there is nothing wrong with their Ning family.

How could it be like Ning Qing, when the emperor bestowed a marriage, it was not enough to send local parents and officials to accompany her, and she also asked the magistrate to accompany her, leaving more than 20 people to clean?Scan what?
When Zhao Zhixian saw that Song Zhuo valued Ning Qing so much, his eyes became brighter. This time, the grandeur of marrying the concubine was even greater than that of marrying the concubine Chen!This time, the Ning family really wanted someone to gain the Tao, and the posture of chickens and dogs ascending to heaven!

Zhao Zhixian became more and more excited, and glanced at Ning Miao, wanting to say something, but after all, he is a man, so it is not good to praise him, otherwise he would be frivolous.He has to go back quickly and let his wife come!

Everyone said goodbye together.

Second Master Ning opened the imperial decree and stared at it again and again. The Ning family was about to feel proud again.

"The concubine will be here in ten days, we need to clean up quickly." Madam Liu said with a smile, "Old lady Ning, where is the concubine's residence?"

"Please hurry up, Madam." Old Madam Ning was in a high mood when she heard Mammy Liu talking about the concubine.This time is different from the last time I married Princess Chen, this time I really feel like I am going to fly on a branch.

Grandma Liu smiled and led a dozen servants and maidservants to follow behind Old Madam Ning, who was supported by Ning Xiang.

Gu's, Tian's, Uncle Ning, and Second Master Ning all followed closely with nodding and bowing their heads.Seeing that she was going to her own residence, Ning Miao rolled her eyes and caught up.

The Ning family is very small, and the girls live together.A small and exquisite courtyard, a total of six or seven wing rooms.

"It's here." Liu Mama looked around and frowned: "Do all the girls live together?"

"Because there are few houses and a large population, we only live in one place." Mrs. Ning said.

"The concubine will stay here for two more months, one room is not enough." Madam Liu said, "There are about twenty people waiting for her, and this yard is not enough. I can only ask the two girls to move in first." elsewhere."

When Ning Miao heard this, she actually asked them to make room for Ning Qing's little bastard!Annoyed: "Why do you let us move? Is this how she treats sisters?"

"Ning Miao!" Old Madam Ning shouted angrily.

Second Master Ning also stared straight at him: "If you continue to quarrel, I will throw you out!"

Ning Miao was so angry that her little face was gloomy.

Seeing that Ning Miao was upset, Old Madam Ning immediately said: "Now this yard is just you and Xiang'er, temporarily move to sleep with your mother and aunt."

Gu choked.She is sleeping with her grandson now!Ning Miao squeezed over again, and there was another maid, how could it be squeezed.

"Miss Liu, the land deed and house deed have been obtained." At this moment, Steward Zheng came over.

Nanny Liu responded, took the land deed and house deed, and stuffed them into the hands of Old Madam Ning: "Our son is not an unkind person. We have already bought the house next door. If we let some people move there, it won't be too crowded. .”

When everyone in the Ning family heard this, they couldn't believe it.

The second-entry house next door was about the same size as Ning's family. The owner had already moved into Beijing. The house had been vacant for more than half a year and hadn't been sold yet.This house has been vacant for a short time, and it can be occupied immediately after cleaning.Song Zhuo actually bought it for the convenience of Ning Qing's wedding.

Second Master Ning took over the land deed, as if he was overjoyed.After thinking about it, I said: "If you want to buy a house, why don't you buy it in Shangjing. After you buy it, you can warm up the house and move in. Fortunately, you can get married in Shangjing! It's not too troublesome to welcome relatives. It will be convenient for relatives to come and go in the future."

Old Madam Ning gave a dry cough and glanced at Second Master Ning.

Second Master Ning smiled awkwardly.

Nanny Liu just smiled without saying a word, her eyes twinkled slightly: "Marriage and house warming cannot be in the same year."

"Mother Liu is right." Mrs. Ning said.

"Can the house be cleaned now?" Nanny Liu said.

"Of course." Second Master Ning said with a smile immediately.

More than a dozen servants under Madam Liu scattered in all directions, rushed to each wing room, and took out all the things inside.

Ning Miao was annoyed secretly, hummed, stretched out her fingers, pointed at those things, raised her eyes, and said arrogantly: "Since we moved out, I will settle it for this girl in a while."

"It's natural." Madam Liu said, "Where is the girl going to move?"

"Move to Gu's room first." Mrs. Ning said.

"Okay. When the girl decides where to put it, the servant girl will move it again." Madam Liu said.

"No, no, no." Mrs. Ning smiled and waved her hands: "Although we are not a big family, we are not without servants. How can we bother customers."

"That's it, I thank the old lady. The maidservant has to decorate the residence of the concubine, and the things of the two girls are troublesome to the old lady." Liu Mama is very satisfied.

Ning Miao choked, and gritted her teeth secretly, unable to order Liu Mama, making her feel inferior.

Nanny Liu continued to clean the room.

Second Master Ning and Mrs. Gu returned to the room, discussing who would move into the house next door.Because they are the head of the Ning family now, and they have the final say.

"Now suddenly there is an extra house, so naturally the eldest room and our second room have been separated." Gu Shi said. "The house next door is decorated more delicately and beautifully... Da Fang is the eldest son of the eldest son, out of love and reason, the Da house stays in the old house, and we move out to live in the new house."

"The fifth girl is going to get married in this house, and she will also come back to this house in the future. I'm afraid she will live here every season."

Gu Shi was taken aback, Ning Qing, the concubine of the world, they absolutely wanted to hold her back.If they were separated, Ning Qing would not be worth the loss if she stopped kissing them.

"Don't mention the separation of the family now, just let the elder brother move in one room. Open a few doors between the two families, it's fine." Second Master Ning said.

Therefore, in order to keep Ning Qing in check, the couple had no choice but to abandon such a beautiful house, which was a cheap one.That's it for the move.

Dafang and Uncle Ning's son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren moved there.The whole Ning's house suddenly became more spacious, and Ning Miao and Ning Xiang moved to Tian's room.

Ten days later, before Ning Qing's convoy arrived, two servant girls arrived first.

The members of the Ning family went to the gate to welcome them.Zhao Zhixian came again with a family of young and old, and even the magistrate ran over to greet him.

Although Ning Qing is not married yet, the conferment has already come down, and the gold book is still missing.

Ning Qing dressed up and got out of the car with Hui Ping's help.

"I've seen the concubine." The members of the Ning family saluted.

Ning Miao looked at Ning Qing in full makeup, she was so beautiful that people couldn't remember it for a long time.There are more than a dozen maidservants around her, and even the two maidservants around her are better dressed than the girls of their Ning family. They are real golden servants.And Ning Qing, like a real aristocrat, is different from them.

That kind of feeling, even Princess Chen, who is a prince and concubine, never gave them this feeling.

Ning Miao was dazed watching, jealous in her heart, and also dazed at the same time.Why, she is also a daughter of the Ning family, why can she be superior and always be superior to others, but she is still struggling in this small family?
When old lady Ning saw Ning Qing, she wept with joy: "Fifth girl!"

"Grandmother!" Ning Qing cried when she saw Old Madam Ning, and hugged her as she walked up to her.

"Come on, let's go in!" Second Master Ning said with a smile.
