Resourceful beauty

Chapter 178
"Hey, why bother? You said that if she agreed last time, maybe the dowry is ready now."

Looking at the list in her hand, Chen Mei sighed helplessly.

King Qi acted resolutely, and Chen Mei brought a word to him. The next day, King Qi sent the selected candidates to Chen Mei. Compared with the two selected last time, they were very different.

The man's surname is Wang Jingzhi, from Wangjiazhuang in the suburbs of Beijing. He is the 36th candidate in this year's second list. There is only an old mother and a young sister in the family, and he usually lives by renting and farming land.

After accumulating for so many years, I finally have a small tile-roofed house at home. This time I went to Beijing to rush for the exam, and my neighbors pooled in money to come. It is said that to be able to become a Jinshi is because the ancestors burned the high incense accumulation;

Now, among the students on the same list, some have received errands in the Hanlin Academy, and some have moved out of the way to become a small county magistrate. Only Wang Jingzhi, I don't know if he has no extra money to move around, or he is pedantic. Walk up the peak gate road, and wait until now without embarrassment or embarrassment.

In the list sent back by King Qi, it only briefly mentioned the situation of the Wang family, and did not say much about the rest. Chen Mei didn't even know whether the Wang family's husband was square or round, but thinking about it, he probably wouldn't be a crook Split dates, right?
However, not to mention comparing this candidate with those aristocratic families in the capital, even comparing with those two people last time, there is really no comparison. Chen Mei dare not think about it. When Fang Ruhui hears it, what will happen when there is trouble appearance.

Fearful, but not wanting to make Fang Zhengjun worry, she sent him away, and Chen Mei went to Fang Ruhui's room.

Even so, Hanshuang and Ningxue still summoned two rough envoys to accompany them. When they entered the house, the two of them guarded Chen Mei's side, staring at Fang Ruhui intently, for fear that she might have inappropriate behavior.

The things in the room have already been smashed to pieces, and now, it looks a bit like the former Yixin Palace.When Chen Mei entered the room, Fang Ruhui was sitting behind the desk writing something, with a serious look on her face.

"Your concubine, you are here..."

Calling Chen Mei to sit down, Cui Zhi and Cui Xi, Fang Ruhui's personal maids, went to make tea, and the other took two soft pillows from the bed, and put them in the armchair for Chen Mei.

"What did the fifth sister write?"

Fang Ruhui ignored her, but Chen Mei didn't have the same knowledge as her. She sat down and turned around to ask questions.

Fang Ruhui remained silent.

Cuizhi smiled a little embarrassingly and said: "Don't blame the concubine, the lady told me early in the morning that she didn't stop until she had copied the scriptures ten times. I really didn't expect you to come here so early."

Scripture?

Chen Mei couldn't help but look at Fang Ruhui more.

If you really change your temper, it's a good thing, just wait a little longer.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Fang Ruhui stopped and put down the pen. Cuizhi and Cuixi beside her were already sweating from embarrassment.

Fang Ruhui cleaned her hands, then stood condescendingly behind the desk, and asked Chen Mei in a cold voice, "The concubine Shi Zi came here, but did she bring her father's fortune?"

Chen Mei nodded with a smile, took out the paper from the armhole, and handed it to Cuizhi.

After opening it for a few glances, Fang Ruhui dropped the piece of paper lightly on the table, "At any rate, my father still cherishes me. Although my family background is poor, I am a second-ranked scholar. After a while, my father will Pick a rogue for me from the street, I have nothing to say, right?"

Opening his mouth, the demure and gentle appearance of copying the scriptures just now was gone.

Chen Mei was angry in her heart, but she didn't bother to argue with her, she said with a smile: "With Fifth Younger Sister's temperament, my father thinks about it, but if something happens later, won't it be embarrassing for Prince Qi's Mansion? If I had known today, why did I do it back then? How much thought did my father put into choosing those two candidates back then? It’s a pity that the fifth sister didn’t like it, right? Now it’s too late to change her mind.”

"Changing your mind?"

As if she heard something funny, Fang Ruhui smiled and gave Chen Mei a sideways look, "I, Fang Ruhui, never do anything to regret, just go and report to your father. I am very satisfied with this marriage."

"Since that's the case, then I won't delay any longer. The two families are about to get ready after receiving the father's request. This time, since the fifth younger sister let it go, let's settle down and get married. Don't worry about it again." If something goes wrong, Prince Qi's Mansion can't afford it anymore."

After all, Chen Mei got up and left with her big belly.

After seeing off Chen Mei and returning, Cuizhi and Cuixi hurriedly inquired about Wang Jingzhi, and learned that Wang Jingzhi's family was poor, with an elderly mother and a sister-in-law who was waiting to be married. There was a bit of bitterness on the faces of the maids.

Fang Ruhui thought about it, smiled and sighed: "As long as you can get out of here, no matter how hard or tired you are, what's the point? The air outside is always better than here."

"However, even if the prince doesn't like Miss, he should choose a better family for Miss. In this way, why not let Miss suffer?"

Cuixi shouted angrily.

Looking past the paper, Fang Ruhui curled her lips and said, "I think, my father was also very disappointed, so he must have chosen him. Counting it, it must have been a matter of good intentions."

Afraid that Fang Ruhui would make some fools again, King Qi deliberately chose a family with a powerful mother-in-law. The family was poor, and he knew that wealth was hard-won in the past. When the time came, King Qi came forward to find an errand for Wang Jingzhi. The Wang family had to respect Fang Ruhui.

However, thinking about it, the mother-in-law and sister-in-law are not easy to get along with. If Fang Ruhui lives a good life, they may be able to talk, otherwise, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no matter how powerful the Qi Palace is, there is no way to support Fang Ruhui. I really have to live by watching my mother-in-law's face.

In short, if Fang Ruhui has the means to control this family, and then urge Wang Jingzhi to make progress, she may not have a good life in the future, but if she does not go on the road, she will still treat herself as the young lady of Prince Qi's mansion, stretching out her hands and opening her mouth when she wants to. , I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Everything is in Fang Ruhui's heart.

Fang Ruhui nodded, and the next thing was much simpler. Chen Mei told Qi Wang back, and Qi Wang said that everything was up to her.

An auspicious day was selected from the old almanac, and the official media invited by Chen Mei went to Wangjiazhuang.

The young lady who was able to climb up to King Qi's mansion was also smoked from the grave of Wang's ancestors. Mrs. Wang didn't even ask Fang Ruhui if she was dignified and healthy, and she agreed to marry her.

The official media went back and forth several times, and the two families asked Najib and others that things were going very smoothly. Finally, the happy event was scheduled for August 22.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Jingzhi's external documents came down, and he was a county magistrate, a seventh-rank official, in a small county called Tianhe County in Weizhou, five hundred miles away from the capital.

Fang Ruhui's marriage was settled, and Chen Mei could be considered as a matter of concern, otherwise, just thinking about this big Buddha in Prince Qi's mansion would make Chen Mei feel uncomfortable.

Fang Ruxuan, on the other hand, didn't expect Fang Ruhui to be wrong this time, and suddenly figured out that she was going to get married.

However, Fang Ruxuan didn't have that much time to think about it.

The twelfth of July is the full moon ceremony for Brother Yun, who was born by Princess Sixteen. Princess Sixteen had already brought a message and asked Fang Ruxuan to go over and talk to her earlier that day.

When it was the right day, Fang Ruxuan got up early in the morning, had breakfast and rushed to Ningshanbo Mansion.

In the inner room of Weirui Garden, there is still a strong fragrance of flowers. The sixteenth princess obviously just finished bathing. Seeing Fang Ruxuan coming, the sixteenth princess took a deep breath and exaggerated: "You don't know if you don't take a bath for a month. How hard I endured, I washed for an entire hour today, and I almost rubbed off two layers of skin."

Said, like a butterfly circling in front of the bronze mirror, Princess Sixteen said with drooping face, "Look, I've gained a lot of weight."

The Sixteenth Princess, who is confinement, has a slightly plump body. Compared with the previous one, she is a little more feminine and feminine, and a little less playful as a daughter.

Fang Ruxuan pursed her lips and snickered, "Why don't you go ask Princess He'an to see how she keeps a good figure?"

She has been a widow with Princess Anchang for many years, and every time she appeared in front of people, she would suspend her face as if someone owed her hundreds of taels of silver. However, for so many years, she has always been so thin, and she has never seen fat.

Princess Sixteen shrank her neck and shook her head, "Then I should still be fat."

People say that the body is wide and fat, and the sixteenth princess has a happy family life, so she will naturally gain weight slowly. Like Princess Anchang, it is difficult to gain weight.

After a while, the giggles of children sounded in the side room, Princess Sixteen and Fang Ruxuan involuntarily stopped talking, and looked out the door.

The door curtain was raised, and the wet nurse came holding Brother Yun, who was wearing a bright red silk jacket and trousers.

The little guy is chubby, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, coupled with this festive clothes, he looks like a blessing doll in a New Year picture, very attractive.

After playing around for a while, firecrackers were fired outside, and guests came to the door in an endless stream.

Except for the wives and ladies who had been close to each other on weekdays, they all went to the banquet hall, and Bai Zixuan personally came to hold his son and went out after the luncheon.

Only then did Princess Sixteen hold Fang Ruxuan's hand, and the two went to the banquet hall.

After entering the banquet, Fang Ruxuan was surrounded by several girls of similar age in the capital, but due to the recent rumors, almost no one took the initiative to talk to Fang Ruxuan.

Fang Ruxuan didn't care, sat for a while, and then went out with Lilac. After walking a few steps under the eaves, she met a young and handsome man.

"Meet Princess Xuanyi..."

The man was very polite, although Fang Ruxuan felt that his appearance was a bit abrupt, she still returned the courtesy, and after a few words, she took Lilac back to the banquet hall.

Behind him, the man is still looking up, the color of his eyes has changed several times.

"Brother Weiran, what are you looking at?"

A familiar greeting from someone who was sobering up outside.

Shaking his head with a face full of disappointment, Xu Weiran sighed in his heart: Is it really a wrong step, is it a wrong step?
