Chapter 198 Finger Marriage
Today, the emperor and his concubines read the beautiful women together and decided where they should go.This is the first round of challenge.As a result, among the beautiful girls, only the Nala family with the red flag and the Ma Jia family with the blue flag were registered, and the rest were registered.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor issued a decree to canonize the Han army's Zhengbai Banner Dutong, Shi Shi, the daughter of Bo Shi Wenbing, as the crown princess, and Ta Tara, the daughter of the house doctor and Qingche Duwei Xingbao, as the fifth prince Yinqi's wife. Wei Jiashi, the daughter of Wei Xudong, the deputy governor of the Yellow Banner, is the wife of the Seventh Prince Yinyou, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to preside over the wedding ceremony.

Shu Ning recognized that the Nala clan with the red flag refers to Chang Lu, and the Ma Jia clan with the blue flag should be the beautiful girl named Xiaoxue.But her attention was almost completely attracted by another matter, "Tara, the daughter of Xingbao, the doctor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the captain of Qingche, is the wife of the fifth prince Yinqi", how is this possible?

When the Earl's Mansion got the news, they all thought it was a mistake. How could it be the daughter of Xingbao?Obviously it should be the Minister of the Ministry of War, Bo Jinbao's daughter Ta Tara's family.Facing the person from the second room who came to announce the good news, Nalashi reluctantly responded with a few words, then asked someone to send it away with a reward envelope, and then sent someone to report to her husband quickly, and at the same time sent someone out to inquire.

It turned out that the news was true. The person who became the fifth elder brother's first wife was not Wanning, nor the Wusu family of Dafujin's cousin as previously rumored, but Yuanning from the second room.

Nala really has a lot of feelings in his heart, he wished his daughter would appear in front of him immediately, so that he could explain clearly what was going on, how could the fourth daughter of the second room snatch away the Wufujin throne that was supposed to be a sure thing?The third girl clearly said that everything is fine. Chang Lu, the distant niece who is close to her daughter, seems to be entering the palace at the moment. I heard that she is a delicate little girl, but she is very innocent. She is by her daughter's side. What's the problem?Did something happen these days?Since Wu Fujin can't do it, then who will his daughter be pointed at?

She couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly inquired around, and went to the female family members who had contacts with the palace, but she couldn't get any accurate information. She only heard that her daughter was very famous in the palace before, and almost no one knew about it. Thinking that the last Wufu Jin was not her.Now Nala's heart is even more anxious, her daughter's life must be very difficult now, she was beautiful before.

Talking about it with her husband after returning home, she couldn't help shedding tears: "Well, how could it be like this? How can we Wanning meet people now?" Broken daughter's future!Now the second-bedroom couple must be extremely proud, and they don't know how to show it off.At the same time, she was a little angry. Since the fifth elder brother couldn't do it, he shouldn't be entangled with her daughter. If he hadn't intervened, she would have already chosen a good marriage for her daughter.

Jin Bao kept a gloomy face and didn't speak.He was very glad that he was trying to be on the safe side and gain a good reputation, and he was not proud of his daughter being made a Five Fortune Jin. He also told his colleagues that it was just a rumor, so although there are some gossips now, Not too sad.Even so, he has become a joke in other people's minds. He has worked hard for several years, and seeing the opportunity to go up to the next level, he still doesn't know if he will be implicated because of his daughter.

Nala was crying all the time, but her husband did not make a sound, and she felt a little resentful in her heart, and suddenly remembered that Sanfang was related to Tong Niangniang in the palace, maybe she could find out something, so she came to Huaiyuan and asked Tong in a friendly voice made a request.

Mrs. Tong was preparing to send congratulatory gifts to Erfang and Wei's family. Seeing this, she smiled and said: "We are all a family. If there is anything to worry about, I will ask when I go to give gifts tomorrow. It's just that they are busy right now. , may not be free to go to the palace to pay respects, if there is nothing useful to inquire about, please don't blame my sister-in-law."

Where does Nala dare to blame?It's good if someone is willing to help, so I thanked him solemnly before leaving.

Afterwards, Mrs. Tong said to her daughter: "Your aunt is really confused. If you want me to help you find out, why didn't you come earlier? You want to ask outsiders first. Now even if I send someone to ask tonight, I'm afraid your granduncle You and your aunt had already entered the palace during the day to thank you. You missed the opportunity in vain. The same thing happened with Chang Lu before."

Shu Ning hurriedly asked what was going on, and Tong said: "That beautiful girl named Chang Lu, isn't it said that she is the distant niece of your aunt's natal family? Your aunt went back to her natal home to inquire about her, but she didn't think of that The girl is from Shandong, and her father is a second-rank official, so your aunt must have heard about it. As a result, what your aunt heard was not true."

"Is there something wrong with Chang Lu?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, she's still a remarkable girl." Tong said, "According to your aunt, her mother died a few years ago, and at a young age, she was in charge of the housekeeping and took care of her father's concubines." She is very fit, and others praise her for her skills. She looks very good, and has studied for a few years. She is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She is so good at shooting that she even compares to several of her brothers. You said, how can such a girl be "delicate" and "pure"?"

Shu Ning recalled Chang Lu's words and demeanor, and as expected, she couldn't help but feel a little worried about Wan Ning.If Chang Lu is such a hidden character, will Wanning suffer?Maybe, it has already suffered a big loss.

Seeing her like this, Tong smiled and said: "What are you worried about? Since she is a famous show girl, and what you said about being in the imperial garden earlier, it can be seen that she is targeting the emperor. The second girl will not enter the palace. , won’t block her way.” But then she thought that Wanning might have another future if she was not accused of marrying her fifth elder brother, but she still didn’t say it in the end.

Shuning thought about it, and felt that Wanning and Chang Lu had no conflict of interest, and they should live in peace.It's just that in the current situation, she can't guess Wanning's destination, so she still can't help worrying.

Early the next morning, the Tong family sent someone to congratulate the Wei family with a big gift. The news that they came back was that as soon as they received the order yesterday, they went to the palace to thank them. They didn't say much about the other beautiful girls. inquire about.The Tong family said that they had just entered the palace to greet Ann not long ago, and regarding the matter of the second girl in the Earl's Mansion, they still had the impression that she was one of the most popular candidates for Wufu Jin.In this regard, Tong replied to Nala, who was very disappointed, and could only hope that her daughter would have a good future in the next finger marriage.

However, the next news that came out of the palace was that Tian Jiashi (Jingyu), the daughter of the pen-style Dundali, was accused of being given to the third elder brother as a concubine. Ziqi) and Eji clan (Yunling) were accused of being given to a prince and two county kings respectively, and their positions ranged from side Fujin to Shufujin.

Nala was so anxious that she kept burning incense and chanting scriptures in front of the Buddha, praying that her daughter would find a good partner.On Shuning's side, her heart was already beating endlessly: the next step is the marriage of the clan's children.

Just this afternoon, when the imperial physician came to see him, an eunuch came along with him.He looked at the doctor Chunyu's consultation, Fang Zi, and asked that Ming Shuning would be able to walk without hindrance in a month, Fang smiled and congratulated her.

Shu Ning knew it well, and she felt happy, but she just kept her head down and didn't speak.Mrs. Tong listened to it, and hurriedly asked someone to send a plate of jade pendants, coral beads and other belongings, as well as two high-quality frozen fish brain stones from Imperial Physician Chunyu, and sent the two of them out of the door happily.

She turned her head and saw her daughter's expression, sighed softly, and said: "Now you finally got your wish, since you are happy in your heart, Er Niang will not say anything, but you have to be more careful in the future, if there is any grievance , just tell your family." Shuning smiled and said, "Er Niang, don't worry too much, Brother Tongying is a reliable person, and besides, I won't obediently let others bully me."

Tong smiled and nodded, and tidied her daughter's hair again, and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to Mrs. Fucha's family for advice. Her Xinran family is also a married clan, and she is also a noisy big family. Now I can see that Xinran is living a small life. Moisturize. I'll ask, how can I prepare a dowry for you, and I might as well accompany you to a Zhuangzi's house, if you're not living in the palace well, there's a place where you can breathe a sigh of relief."

Shu Ning hugged her mother, nestled in her arms and said coquettishly: "Er Niang, you are so kind." Tong Shi smiled lightly, stroking her daughter's head.Xianning passed by outside the door and saw it, and rushed in and said, "Are Er Niang and sister hugging? I want it too!"

Shu Ning couldn't help laughing, and said: "Okay, brother Xian will come too." Then she hugged her younger brother, but she was secretly laughing.

The decree of the third batch of finger marriages came down soon.Tatara, the daughter of Zhili Canzhengdao and Qingche Duwei Zhang Bao, was accused of being the son of Prince Jian, and Beizi Tongying was his first wife, and Shu Shujueluo (Xuxu), the daughter of Shandong Salt Transport Envoy Naride, was accused of being given to Prince Kang His son and beige Baltu is his first wife.What followed was a series of more than a dozen beautiful women who were accused of being given to the children of various clans, some of them were Dukes of the state, and there were also generals of Zhenguo, Puguo, and Fengguo.Among them, Baoyue (Wu Ya's family) was accused of being given to a Fu Guogong named Shi Xin, and Yuanning's friend Jin Xu (Se Hetu's family) was accused of being given to a town general named Fu An. .

As soon as news of the marriage was spread, many relatives and friends came to congratulate her, as did the whole family.While Tong was preparing a congratulatory gift for Xu Xu's family, she was also receiving everyone. Although she was busy, she kept smiling.Fortunately, Zhenzhen has been able to help a lot now and relieved her a lot of burden.

With the help of the maids, Shu Ning changed into the clothes for meeting guests, and sat on the edge of the bed to accept the kowtows from the male and female servants at home, feeling very uncomfortable.At first she wanted to avoid it, but Tong stopped her and said: "This is the rule, why not feel uncomfortable? There will be many people kowtowing to you in the future. Sit down quickly, don't let people see the joke." Shu Ning couldn't, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit there, secretly asking Suxin Dongqing and the others to bring more cushions to make the kneeling people feel better.

The Nala family never got the exact news about their daughters. They only knew that a few beautiful girls had been put on the board, but there were only Wusu (Yueying) and Ulaguerjia's among them, but Wanning was nowhere to be seen. There is hope that she has not been accused of marriage for the time being, and sooner or later there will be a decree.Both Shuning from the third room and Xu Xu from my sister-in-law's family were pointed at Beizi, so it was a great happy event. She arranged a congratulatory gift for her sister-in-law's house, then went over to Huaiyuan with a smile on her face to congratulate her, and helped to greet the guests.

However, there are always people who make her uncomfortable.Suo Chuoluo, who came here specially to say congratulations, was extremely proud and always liked to show off.She left Nala's family aside, and only held Tong's family to spit out "bitter water": "At first, I only thought about marrying a small clan to be the blessing of the ancestors. How could I have thought that my daughter would have such a future? Now I am prepared." The 3 taels of dowry silver is not enough. Yesterday, our master ordered the subordinates to distribute 2 taels no matter where. To be a royal daughter-in-law, I am ashamed to meet people without this amount! The third sibling is also there Worrying about the dowry, right? In fact, what’s the point of spending so much money? You have to take care of your own financial resources. I got four phoenix brocades with bright red and gold silk. I thought my family didn’t have that kind of blessing, and I was about to honor the prince. Now it’s just right to honor two horses, and I have two left for our daughter. If the third sibling wants it, just tell me, no matter what. You have to spare half of the horses. Speaking of which, do you still have the precious stones you accumulated at the beginning..."

Suo Chuoluo kept talking for more than half an hour, Tong just responded with a faint smile, and Shen just listened with a smile on the side without saying a word.Only Nala sat dumbly, barely maintaining the air of the mistress.

After Suo Chuo Luo's show off, seeing Nala's pale face, he sighed and said, "Sister-in-law is worried about her second niece, right? In fact, I'm also in a panic. You said this beautiful girl is going home soon. Why is there no news about her niece? Not to mention her good looks, good family background, and good reputation, just based on her official position, her niece should have a good future. There are no nieces and daughters among the signers, right? Maybe the emperor has taken a fancy to it and wants to keep it as a concubine, which is a great dignity."

Nala's face turned pale again, and she forced a smile: "It's auspicious to inherit the words of the second younger brother and sister, but our second girl, I'm afraid I don't have that blessing." Then she turned to Tong and said, "Xuxu was also accused of getting married. , I'm going to get some presents for my aunt's house, just sit down, I'll come as soon as I go." After saying that, he pleaded guilty and left.

Sochoro smiled contemptuously, and continued to talk about the dowry prepared for his daughter.While smiling at the meeting, Tong was thinking about what clothes, shoes and socks to bring along when she sent someone to deliver a letter to her husband.

Two days later, the remaining show girls, except for the two named ones who stayed in the palace, the rest returned home first, waiting for the will of marriage.As soon as Jin Bao got the news, he personally led his family and pulled a carriage to wait outside Di'an Gate.After half a day, I saw my daughter whom I had not seen for many days.

Even if he has been in the officialdom for a long time, he can't help being surprised.Because Wanning's face was pale, she lost more than a circle of weight, obviously she had suffered a serious illness.
