Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 403 The Daughter Will Always Marry
For such a small-scale night banquet, those who can receive invitations are almost all the elders or the female relatives of important ministers, plus people Ding Wei likes to be close to on weekdays.

Therefore, the main hall of Fengyuan Palace was not very crowded, and everyone didn't have to drag their necks and roar as impolitely.

Ding Wei listened to the new things in Kyoto, the newly popular clothes styles or jewelry, and of course the officials who are good at flattering, talking about the unborn little prince or princess. After half an hour.

Yunying and the others started to set up the table with food and wine, and settled down for everyone to sit down. After drinking three cups of sweet fruit wine, on the small stage that was repaired on the side of the main hall, the very imposing female general Mu Guiying stepped on the gongs and drums. Shengsheng appeared on the stage, and almost all the female relatives applauded as soon as he appeared.

Although the male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside, it is a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years.But as a human being, which woman has never felt wronged by staying in the small courtyard of the back house all her life, and has never fantasized about traveling all over the mountains and rivers to see the colorful world outside.Even like a man, he walks the world with his sword and goes out to protect his homeland.

It's a pity that no matter how wronged and hoped, all this is out of reach, so it has become a dream that I have been thinking about.

Now this "Mu Guiying in Command" does not know which dynasty or generation it sheltered from, but it has solidly fulfilled a heroic dream of all women.

The food on the table became hot and cold, but all the female relatives didn't care at all, they were all immersed in the drama, and regarded themselves as Mu Guiying, with red chicken feathers on her back, red tasseled gun in her hand, majestic Rin Rin, take command and set off...

In the Guangming Palace next door, the monarch and his ministers also get each other.Gong Zhiming was not a stingy person at all, and now the national treasury is full, so in the dining room, Prime Minister Fang pointed out the merits of an official, and he would reward him. After that, there was a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of War who hadn’t returned home for almost two months because of supervising food and grass Trip, it can be said to be conscientious.Gong Zhiming directly promoted him to one level, and gave the official's mother a royal order. He was so happy that the official fell to the ground and cried, wishing to smash his body to pieces immediately to repay the king's kindness.

Originally thought that their place was lively, but when the banquet was over, seeing his wife's expression was full of excitement, and even two pieces of Zhuchai jewelry on her head were missing, so she couldn't help being curious.Before I could go home, I asked directly in the carriage, "What kind of show did the Empress put on to make you look like this?"

Hearing this, the wife and daughter's eyes brightened even more, and they began to scramble, "It's the story of a female marshal, it's so wonderful. I really wish I could replace it..."

The officials remembered that when "Mulan Joins the Army Instead of Her Father" was popular in Kyoto, how many women were coaxed into dressing up as men to join the Western Expeditionary Army.Now the empress actually moved out the female marshal directly. I don't know what color Marshal Feng Yong's face will be when he hears it.

Seeing that his wife and daughter were pulling him to talk about opera again, he coughed dryly twice and changed the subject: "Your Majesty invited you into the palace just to watch an opera, nothing else?"

"No," the wife and daughter thought about it carefully, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so they responded, "My lady said, I want us to help you taste the play. If you all think it's good, we'll release it tomorrow." Went to Liyuan. Speaking of which, we were the first to see this play..."

The official ignored the excitement of his wife and daughter, but fell into deep thought.Could it be that the Empress specially prepared banquets and new plays just to get together with the female relatives?This is really unbelievable...

Not to mention how doubtful outsiders are, but to say that there are still smart people who know the inside story, and of course the Dong family knows best.

Mr. Dong Ge got into the carriage, and when he saw his old wife smiling and squinting, and the bright yellow package and two beautifully placed fruit baskets beside his niece and granddaughter, he knew that the marriage between Ding and Dong's family was more than half done. So he stroked his beard and looked at his grandniece, and said with a smile, "You are a blessed girl!"

Dong Wan seemed to understand something, but she couldn't think it through, so she could only bow her head and salute, which means that she had written about Dong Gelao, the pillar of the Dong family.

Dong Ge shook his head, stopped talking, leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes to rest, but it was Mrs. Dong who pulled Dong Wan and spoke in a soft voice.

The carriage quickly turned to Nancheng, where the Dong family lived together. Dong Wan's parents were waiting in the old house, so they quickly picked up the news.Elder Dong Ge didn't say much, he waved his hand and went back to the study, leaving Mrs. Dong and Dong Wanniang whispering a few whispers in each other's ears, and sent their family back.

Sitting in the small sedan chair with her mother, Dong Wan'er always felt that her mother's gaze made her hairy, so she hugged her mother's arm and asked, "Mother, is something wrong? Daughter feels uncomfortable?"

"Silly girl, go home and talk."

Dong Wan's grandfather left early, and her father was simple and honest, even after the scientific examination, he was only a sixth-rank official.In Kyoto, a place where princes walk everywhere, it is really ordinary and ordinary.Fortunately, Elder Dong Ge was very fond of brotherhood, and took good care of his nephew, so he decided to marry Dong Wanniang, the eldest daughter of the merchant's family. Xu is the master of most affairs.

Therefore, Dong Wan heard her mother say this, and knew that there was nothing to ask, so she honestly waited for the sedan chair to enter her yard.After getting off the sedan chair and going back to the boudoir, I changed into homely clothes before going to the main room, where I greeted my parents again.

Xu Shi pulled his daughter to him, pointed to the packages and fruit baskets on the table and asked, "Wan'er, these are all rewards from your mother? Tell me carefully."

Dong Wan nodded, thought for a while and said, "The maid in the empress's palace accidentally stained my skirt, and the empress rewarded me with a new dress she made earlier. After I put it on, the empress said it looked good, so she rewarded me." Two bolts of fruit, and later when the servant girl mentioned that I helped look after the child for a while, the empress rewarded me with two more fruit baskets."

"Take care of the baby?" Xu Shi immediately grasped the key point, and when he wanted to ask again, Master Dong stopped him, "Wan'er just came back, you can let her have a sip of tea before talking."

Mrs. Xu refused, glared at her husband, and said angrily, "What time is it now? This has something to do with Wan'er... Well, it's a big deal. Let's ask first, when can't we drink tea in the future?"

Mr. Dong was also used to his wife making decisions, so the girl Tong smiled helplessly and let her ask her questions.

Dong Wan was afraid that her father and mother would quarrel, so she quickly responded, "While I was waiting for the maid to pick up the skirt, a woman carried the baby to the house and asked me to take care of it for a while. She was in a hurry to go to the latrine. Don't wait for me to refuse." , she left. I saw that the baby was doing well, so I played with it for a while, and then the baby urinated, and I helped change a diaper. As soon as the work was done, your maid and the woman came back.

I thought the child was from a servant's family, but later I found out that it was the empress's little niece.The empress said that I would take care of it, and specially rewarded me with these things. "

"Oh, silly girl!" Xu was overjoyed, clapping his hands and laughing, "That's the empress testing you, this is good, the empress must be very satisfied!"

"Your Majesty, what are you trying to do with me?" Dong Wan usually listened to her parents very much, but she was not stupid. Now she was more puzzled, and when she thought about why the old lady of the house brought her into the palace alone, she felt that something was wrong.

"Mother, what are you hiding from me?" Mrs. Xu also felt that she was a little too happy just now, but she will have to tell her daughter about this matter sooner or later, so she asked the embarrassed Master Dong a few words, and then took her daughter back to the boudoir.

The two mothers were sitting opposite each other on the kang, holding tea bowls in their hands, Xu couldn't help feeling, "Mother's daughter has grown so big in a flash, it's time to get married!"

Dong Wan blushed, and retorted in a low voice, "Mother, I don't want to marry so early. My siblings are still young, and my daughter can help mother at home."

"Silly girl, my daughter is going to marry after all." Mrs. Xu put down her tea bowl, took her daughter into her arms, and said in a low voice, "Didn't you just suspect, mother, why did you care so much about what the queen said? Mother is not afraid of you The fact that the empress's banquet today is a cover to see you. Didn't you say that you were pitiful when the Ding family was wiped out earlier? Now the second master of the Ding family has no wife, leaving only two The two daughters are all raised by the empress's side. The empress heard from somewhere that you are sensible and gentle, so she sent the news and wanted to marry you to the second master as a sequel."

"What... what?" Dong Wan raised her head in shock and shouted, "Mother!"

"Shut up, what are you shouting about? Listen to your mother!" Mrs. Xu hugged her daughter tightly and comforted her repeatedly, "You only hear that it's a sequel, but you feel uncomfortable. Why don't you think about it, how could your parents make you suffer? The emperor has issued a decree to seal the Ding family's land for [-] miles outside the city, and also sent officials from the Ministry of Industry to personally supervise the rebuilding of the Ding family's house, and the Ding family will soon flourish.

There is only one boy left in the Ding family, who is only eight years old, and he is also raised by the queen.If you were married in the past, there would be no parents-in-law, sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law in the afternoon, so you can't worry about it.The most important thing is that your father and I have also asked people to inquire about the character of the second master of the Ding family, and even went to the carpentry shop to see the second master in person.Although he was born in a farming family of the Ding family, this man doesn't have any vulgar appearance, he is very kind and shrewd. "

The so-called words are happy locks, and it is unclear if you don’t say it.

After Xu's broken words, Dong Wan's expression improved a lot, but she still hesitated.She also knows the situation of her own family. When she talks about being rich, she doesn't touch the edge of being rich. When she talks about being poor, she has some status in her family.She is the eldest daughter, marriage is more difficult.

If it is true as mother said, the Ding family is indeed a good choice, especially the queen is really kind.

But she is a big girl with no shortage of nose and eyes, and she has become the mother of two children for nothing, so she feels awkward no matter what.

Mrs. Xu didn't force her daughter, but patted her on the back and said, "Think about it yourself and go to bed early. Mother will take you to the embroidery village tomorrow. If this marriage is completed, your wedding dress and dowry will be fine." It's time to get ready. The Ding family just had an accident, so they must rush to get married in the Hundred Days of Filial Piety. If you miss it, you will have to wait three years. At that time, wouldn't you be an old lady?"
