Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 333
Ning Qing asked people to tell Tian and Uncle Liu about Ning Xiang's marriage, but the two of them only asked people to talk back and say that it would be decided after she got married.

Ning Qing rubbed her eyebrows.Ning Xiang just came over: "Fifth Sister."

"You met Second Young Master Chang before? How did you meet?" Ning Qing said.

"I met at the tea shop..." Ning Xiang said, her face flushed slightly: "Last year I went to the tea shop to buy some tea, and when I got out of the lobby, I met the second girl of the Chen family, and she accidentally spilled a cup of tea. Half of my body was soaked, and my servant girl mumbled something to her, and she pulled my hair. But their Chen family is a well-known merchant in Yuecheng, and they are also the uncle's family in Zhaozhi County, so I dare not fight back. It is Chang Er The young master stepped forward to help me out, and even taught Second Miss Chen a lesson... and then sent me home."

Just as she was talking, Zilu walked in: "Girl, Miss Chang San is here." Then she whispered into Ning Qing's ear: "It was Master Chang Er who sent her here."

Ning Qing smiled playfully: "Ask him to drink a cup of tea in the front hall before leaving."

Second Young Master Chang was invited to the front hall and was entertained by Second Master Ning.Ning Qing quietly walked to the warm pavilion behind the hall to see him.

I saw a man of eighteen or nineteen years old, tough and handsome, with a calm demeanor, at least in appearance.

Ning Qing went back after seeing it, and as soon as she entered the garden, she saw Miss Chang San pulling Ning Xiang to talk, and handing her a butterfly-shaped silver hairpin: "I picked this up last year, I didn't expect it to be yours. Pay you back now."

"What is this?" Ning Qing walked in.

Miss Chang San was amazed when she saw Ning Qing. This is the concubine Shizi, and she is just as rumored.
When Ning Qing chose to accompany her yesterday, she also wanted to come, but she couldn't squeeze out those rich officials and was not selected.I never expected that Ning Qing had to roll the roll in person today, not to mention how happy she is.

"What are you talking about?" Ning Qing smiled.

"I've seen the concubine Shizi." Miss Chang San saluted with a smile, holding the silver hairpin: "It's like this, I picked up this hairpin last year at a tea shop and kept it all the time. I just happened to wear it out today. I didn't expect it to be incense My sister's."

When Ning Qing saw that Ning Xiang's face was slightly red and she was talking about tea shops, she knew that the hairpin belonged to Ning Xiang.It must have been that day when she was rubbing against Miss Chen Er, and Master Chang Er picked up the silver hairpin.But this silver hairpin is very old, and the bright color is not good. As the second young master Chang, he will keep it forever. Presumably he has some interest in Ning Xiang.

Second Young Master Chang is indeed interested in Ning Xiang.But the gap between Naihe and Naihe is a bit big, and this is not the main reason.The most important thing is that before Ning Qing disappeared, Princess Chen left the capital, Song Zhuo was abolished, and the entire Ning family was defeated. I don't know when they might be angered by Shangjing, so I dare not make this marriage.

The second young master Chang didn't have much affection for Ning Xiang, so he had a good impression of him.Now that the Ning family has gone up, and Ning Qing invited Miss Chang San to come home, he naturally wanted to make this marriage.The Chang family is also willing.

Miss Chang San and Ning Xiang seem to be quite chatty, Ning Qing let them play.

Ning Qing said: "The falling flowers have intentions, and the flowing water also has feelings."

Hui Ping said: "That's the best. As long as the Eldest Master and Eldest Wife don't get confused, it's fine, and the Old Madam will also check it out."

Ning Qing nodded.She wasn't afraid that Mrs. Ning would not agree to Ning Xiang's marriage, as long as she got married and had a tough attitude and didn't give Mrs. Ning a chance, Mrs. Ning would give up.

In the following days, Erfang and Mrs. Ning also calmed down.

Ning Qing concentrated on her embroidery work.

Song Zhuo had already prepared the wedding dress, and Ning Qing only sewed two symbolic stitches to embroider the wedding dress.She was preparing Song Zhuo's underwear and her in-laws' shoes and socks, all of which she prepared herself.

Time flies, more than a month has passed like this, and it will soon be August.

On the first day of August, Ning Xiucheng failed again in the Tiansheng Township Examination.He lived up to expectations, he was really a scholar!
The entire Ning family has not produced a single scholar in a hundred years, so they are overjoyed.

But a scholar and, really, everywhere, who would care about the birth of a scholar!
But Ning Xiucheng is a talented scholar. Not only did he have a banquet at home, but even the magistrate of Zhao County and various merchants came to congratulate him, making it look like he won the number one prize.The wives of each family had the opportunity to come to Ning's house again, and they all pestered Mrs. Gu saying that they wanted to meet the concubine Shizi.

Surrounded by famous wives and wives in Yuecheng, Mrs. Gu took her to look for Ning Qing. Who knows, before entering the door, Mammy Liu came out with a smile and said that Ning Qing was doing embroidery work.

Gu felt that Ning Qing didn't show her face, and her face turned blue.Cursing inwardly, little bitch, when Miaomiao squeezes her out of the position of imperial concubine, she will feel better!
Ning Miao's face had already recovered, the 10 taels of silver was well spent, and the four teeth were repaired to look like real ones, although they were a little whiter than the real ones, but you couldn't tell unless you looked carefully.

On August [-]th, Ning Qing made mooncakes by herself.Both rooms gave some, and also to Mrs. Ning.She kept ten of them, with ten different flavors, and asked Huiping to keep them cold and seal them up.

Because she knew that Song Zhuo was on his way to Yuecheng now, and it was impossible to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home.

Their wedding date is set for August 29.But that was the wedding day in Beijing.

And July is a ghost month, so you can't do weddings and travel far away.Qin Tianjian chose an auspicious time on the fifth day of August. Song Zhuo took a bath and set off for Yuecheng after taking a bath and offering incense.The schedule was a bit rushed, but Ning Qing didn't blame him at all for not setting the wedding date until September, because she wanted to marry him quickly.

Two days passed quickly, but Ning Qing felt that it was extremely long, and she counted the time almost every minute.

The entire Ning family was extremely busy.Because there is only three days between the appointment and the marriage.Before the 20th day of the eighth month, an official of the ceremony took more than [-] people to Ning's house to start the arrangement.

It can be said that the Ning family was in the limelight at the moment, and the old lady Ning almost shed tears when she saw the Ning family getting more and more lively.She has lived to such a great age, and if she can witness such a grand occasion, she will never live in this life again.

But I remember that when Princess Chen got married, Prince Chen's Mansion only sent a welcoming team of more than 20 people to pick up the bride.

On August [-]th, the emperor sent a general to protect the country with a hundred troops to escort Song Zhuo to Yuecheng.Everyone in Yuecheng did not expect that Song Zhuo would come in person. The officials and marquises above the fifth rank in Yuecheng were so frightened that they all ran home from various places and rushed to the city gate to greet them in official uniforms.Those below the fifth rank are not even eligible to go forward to greet them.

Song Zhuo was followed by twenty imposing and majestic personal guards, followed by a row of troops ranked in the Prince Chen's Mansion, carrying 360 eight betrothal gifts to Ning's house in a mighty manner.

Marriage in the Tiansheng royal family is regulated.The emperor hired, 390 eight lifts.Prince 380 eight lifts.There are three 78 sets for the prince and the prince.The prince's son is 360 eight.The mansions of other kings or princes with foreign surnames should not exceed [-].

As for what is inside, whether it is hard goods, it depends on the financial power of each family, and the importance the husband's family attaches to the woman.

In the past, there was a prince who was a prodigal, and it was full of unusable things, which added up to less than 1 taels.A prince's son's husband's family disliked the woman very much, and what they brought back was a dowry gift of tens of thousands of taels.Of course, it can also be less than the regulation.

Everyone was curious about what Song Zhuo's dowry gift would be, and they all stared at the pole carrying the dowry gift to see how bent it was, and how heavy the footsteps of the guards were.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Song Zhuo smiled, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he waved his hand directly: "Open!"

All the exquisite treasure chests containing the dowry gifts were opened at once, and everyone saw a dazzling array of jewellery, agate and jadeite, pearls the size of two thumbs, and even an extremely rare night pearl that exuded a halo.There are also piles of precious fabrics such as Tianyi brocade and cloud silk.

Walking all the way, the men were all amazed and couldn't believe it.Comparing the woman with her dowry, she almost bit off her handkerchief with hatred, went crazy with jealousy, and almost bleeds from her jealousy.

And the most eye-catching thing is the handsome and handsome man on the horse.Gold and jade are precious, high above the sky, as if standing on the clouds, it is out of reach and daunting.

And such a person who is as noble as a god is going to marry a small business girl!

This Ning family is obviously so ordinary and lowly, and it is obviously such a real existence that they can get in touch with. Why do ordinary people climb up to such a person!This kind of thing happened right next to them, which made their hearts bubbling with sourness.

Even though Princess Chen was born, they only had a little envy, more ridicule and ridicule, because what happened to Princess Chen made them balance.Take a look, people like them, climbing high branches, the result is really bleak as expected!

But now, this son of the Prince of Chen married a small merchant girl with such an attitude, it was too unreal, like a dream, he couldn't help but be jealous!

The escorting army, the guards carrying the bride price, and Song Zhuo's personal guards, plus a large group of officials escorting behind.There is also the sedan chair of Chenwang Mansion in the middle.Concubine Chen traveled under the title of concubine this time, with a sedan chair carried by 16 people.

The main street was closed and martial law passed by.

Everyone in the Ning family came out of the gate to greet them.When they heard that Song Zhuo was coming from a distance, they were so excited that they almost danced and stretched their necks to look into the distance.Zhao Zhixian and other officials of the sixth and seventh ranks also rushed up, saying that they would welcome them with the Ning family.

After about half an hour, I finally saw Song Zhuo's army.When they came to Menzhi, they were all stunned in shock, and seeing the dazzling array of betrothal gifts behind them, they almost went blind, and were so excited that they almost exploded.

Ahhh, just these dowries are enough for the Ning family to spend several lifetimes!

"See Prince Chen!" Zhao Zhixian and other minor officials had already knelt down.

Everyone in the Ning family was shocked to death. Although they were so shocked by this scene that they wanted to kneel, but when they thought that this was their nephew and grandson-in-law, why did they kneel!Not kneeling makes them appear superior!
Ever since Ning Qing was given a marriage and a concubine, they felt that Song Zhuo wasn't so unattainable!
But everyone around them knelt down, except the Ning family.The officer of the instrument was almost pissed off by these foolish people, Qingfeng stared at Second Master Ning and shouted coldly: "Kneel!"

Qingfeng's voice was harsh, and with such a violent shout, the Ning family shook their bodies, raised their heads just to meet Song Zhuo's cold gaze, shook for no reason, and fell to their knees with a plop.

When they knelt down, all the faces of the Ning family turned red.Zhao Zhixian and the others were stunned, looking at them with probing eyes, and some of them were mocking.

This Ning family has really lost their minds!Since they thought that Song Zhuo's grandfather and his wife's family were terrified, a mere businessman would not kneel down when he saw the prince's son!Unexpectedly, Song Zhuo didn't say anything about his feelings, and he had to kneel if he didn't kneel, his face was really slapped.

After a while, Song Zhuo said lightly: "Get up."

Then get off the horse.

I saw that he was dressed in a bright purple robe of an orthodox prince's son, with colorful patterns and colorful patterns, which was indescribably noble.Manners are natural.He was also extremely handsome and magnificent, and when he stood there, he made people feel heartbroken and dare not look up to him.

Second Master Ning looked at Song Zhuo, and was shocked in his heart. Song Zhuo was so noble that people dare not approach him, but the more he was like this, the more he wanted to get closer.

Just lost face again.But he thought, everyone has saluted, but he can't, it's really wrong.But that slap in the face was too loud, so he must get his face back!
Song Zhuo walked into the house, and Second Master Ning was about to squeeze up immediately, and said with a smile, "Nephew..."

But he didn't even get close, and was thrown aside by Qing He and others, and almost fell into the mud.
