Mrs. General is a little sweet

Chapter 11
The days always go by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is hired. The Xu Mansion is extremely lively today. The mansion is covered with red silk and satin, and all kinds of festive window grilles are pasted on the windows.

"Time flies so fast. I didn't expect my second sister to get married soon."

Today was a happy event in the mansion, the Crown Princess Xu Yunzhi specially went back to the mansion, and stayed in the grandmother's courtyard with her sister and her party to chat and laugh.

"Second sister is also married, and I will be the only one left in the house from now on, and there will be no one to talk about in the future." Xu Yunsheng felt a little sad when he thought that after his sister got married, he would be the only one left in the house.

"You girl, why don't you ask your parents to tell you about a marriage as soon as possible so that you can get married too, so that you won't be alone." Xu Yunyao teased Xu Yunsheng while pouring tea for her grandmother.

"Eldest sister, look at second sister, she always likes to make fun of me." Xu Yunsheng said, ran to Xu Yunzhi's side aggrieved, and shook her arm to complain.

Xu Yunzhi held her hand, looked at her grandmother and Xu Yunyao and said, "Don't worry, third sister, the eldest sister will definitely make the decision for you, and I will let my parents find a good marriage for you."

"Big sister~" Xu Yunsheng didn't expect that the eldest sister who had always been protective of her would also make fun of herself with the second sister this time, and felt even more aggrieved.

"Okay, you two girls, stop teasing your third younger sister. See how wronged she is. The three of you have been fighting like this since you were young, and now you are wives, and you are still messing around like this."

Mrs. Xu was very happy to see her granddaughters playing and fighting, as if she had returned to their childhood.

"The Qin family of Zhennan Prince's Mansion brought a pair of red mandarin duck blood jade pendants as the main gift, and countless side gifts. Qin Zhan, the son of the Qin family, invited Xu Yunyao, the daughter of the Xu family, and hoped that the master would agree."

Xiao Si in the hall shouted loudly, Zhennan Wang's family really made a big deal, this blood jade is rare, let alone a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants.

Xu Xiangye and Mrs. Xu looked at each other, both with smiles on their faces, "Yun."

Xiaosi immediately ran out of the door, and replied to the chariots and horses: "The Qin family of Zhennan Wangfu asked to marry the daughter of the Xu family, and the master agreed."

The person who came to give the gift immediately dismounted when he heard this, and went forward with his wife, and entered the mansion. This time, the younger brother and his wife of King Zhennan came to give the gift, and Xiaosi also led them into the front hall.

Immediately, a banquet was held to entertain the betrothal presenters and the congratulatory presenters. The front hall was so lively at the moment, and Xu Mingli and his wife were too busy to turn around. This was the first time for them to handle such a thing, and they did not expect to be so tired people.

"Grandmother, I heard Yun Yao say that you are making a wedding dress for her. Grandmother is really biased. When Yunzhi got married, you didn't make a wedding dress for Yunzhi?" After hearing this, Xu Yunzhi was also worried about her family. Grandma's body wants her to let it go.

"You girl, when you got married, you were given a phoenix coronet by the emperor. There is no need for your grandmother to make your wedding dress for you." Mrs. Xu looked at her granddaughter, thinking that this girl is a mother. Generally like to eat.

"Grandmother, you are not in good health, why don't you let Xiu Niang do it." Xu Yunyao saw her elder sister mentioning this matter, and wanted to persuade her again.

"You girls, don't worry, grandma knows what she knows, so she doesn't need to persuade me one by one."

According to Mrs. Xu, this is a deal, and others can't persuade her, so it's better to let her do it, at least she's happy.

"Grandmother wants to do it, then do it, as long as you don't tire yourself out." Xu Yunzhi knew her grandmother's temper well, and if she talked too much, she might be offended, so it's better to follow her heart.

"Yunzhi, things have been going well these days, that side concubine didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, did she?"

This side concubine is domineering, but she is also a Turkic little princess, so she can't be punished lightly. This year has caused Xu Yunzhi a lot of trouble.

"Grandmother, don't worry, His Royal Highness has treated Yunzhi very well, and the side concubine has been quite peaceful these days, and she hasn't done anything out of the ordinary. She was originally a princess of a country, and now she is given to others as a gift by her father. If you are unhappy in your heart, let her make a fuss for a while, and if no one pays attention to her, you will be quiet."

Xu Yunzhi is a crown princess, but she has to be angry with a side concubine, which is also very aggrieved, but fortunately, His Royal Highness the crown prince loves her very much, and her life is considered good. In this era, the husband's favor depends on Your position in a family, especially this kind of wealthy family, if you don't have the favor of your husband, you will be abandoned.

Speaking of this, Xu Yunyao couldn't help but think of the woman Qin Zhan mentioned to her. Although Qin Zhan had promised that her status and identity would not be shaken, who could say clearly in front of love? Qin Zhan's heart After all, it doesn't belong to her.

The next day.

The wedding day is approaching, there are many rules waiting for Xu Yunyao to learn, Mrs. Xu sent Nanny Qi to teach her some rules.

"On the night before the big wedding, Miss will kneel down to invite the ancestors of the Xu family. On the first day of the wedding, you must first kneel down and worship your grandmother, then wait for my uncle to pick you up, and then bid farewell to your parents with my uncle, and then my elder brother will send you into the sedan chair."

"When you arrive at the gate of the palace, you can only get out of the sedan chair after my uncle kicks the sedan chair door three times. After getting off the sedan chair, you will step over the saddle and the charcoal basin, and then worship the heaven and the earth in front of your parents-in-law."

"After praying to heaven and earth, you will enter the bridal chamber, waiting for my uncle..."

"Second Sister, it's not good." Xu Yunsheng hurried in and interrupted Nanny Qi.

"What's the matter, third sister." Seeing Xu Yunsheng coming in, Xu Yunyao hurriedly asked her.

Xu Yunsheng sat beside her, holding her hand, "Now people in the whole capital are spreading rumors that Prince Qin rode his horse out of the city last night and ran all the way to Lingnan, and now it is rumored that he abandoned his marriage and left gone."

After hearing these words, Nanny Qi, Ying'er and other maidservants around her were very anxious, but Xu Yunyao was very calm and did not change her face at all.

"Second sister, why aren't you worried at all?" Seeing that her sister didn't look worried at all, Xu Yunsheng couldn't help asking.

"The dowry has been paid, the policy has been decided, and he and I are already husband and wife. He will not and dare not escape the marriage. There must be something important to go back to Lingnan this time. What should I worry about?" Although Xu Yunyao had been with Qin Zhan not long ago , but she knew that the two of them agreed on this matter.

"Sister is really generous." Xu Yunsheng looked at Xu Yunyao, and knew that he was really impatient, "In that case, then Sheng'er will step down first."

Seeing Xu Yunsheng leaving the door, Xu Yunyao looked at Mammy Qi and said, "Go ahead, Mammy."

"Hey, miss!" Qi Nanny settled down and continued: "After you are sent to the bridal chamber, there will be a lady with both blessings and blessings who will pick up a corner of your hijab for you, and then give it to the uncle. After the ceremony, the lady will have to change it. Get off your wedding dress, put on your makeup, and go to the hall with my son-in-law to bow down to your relatives, and then pour congratulatory wine to the elders of Qin's family."

"Miss, this He Lang wine is very good. When pouring wine, you must fill the wine glass, not too much, not too little, and not overflowing the glass. We have learned how to pour wine etiquette in the past few days."

After Madam Qi finished speaking, she asked the maid to bring something to pour wine, and taught her various etiquettes for pouring wine.

"Miss, the princess of the Qin family is here."

Listening to the report outside the door, Xu Yunyao immediately put down the things in her hands, let people into the house, and let everyone in the house go down by the way.

"Long time no see, sister misses me?" Qin Ling looked at Xu Yunyao with a smile on her face when she saw her, "No, it should be sister-in-law now."

"The princess is teasing me again." Xu Yunyao was a little shy when she called her sister-in-law, "Is the princess here today for something?"

"My eldest brother escaped from marriage, don't you know?" Qin Ling pressed his hands on the table, his face very amused.

Xu Yunyao smiled lightly, raised her hand and patted her hand, "You, stop lying."

"I'm not talking nonsense. People in the entire capital are spreading the word about it, don't you know?" Qin Ling continued, looking anxious.

"That's just the common people spreading rumors and talking about things after dinner." Xu Yunyao looked at her, and dragged her to sit down, "Talk well, what are you doing here today?"

"Well, nothing can fool you." Qin Ling took out a letter from her pocket and handed it to Xu Yunyao, "Brother asked me to give it to you. You didn't fall for it."

"You girl." Xu Yunyao smiled and took the letter she handed over.

There was not a word on the envelope. Open the envelope and take out the letter paper inside. The writing on it was strong and sharp. I didn't expect Qin Zhan to write such good handwriting.

"There are important matters in the army that need to be dealt with by me. Please don't worry, Ms. Xu. I will definitely hurry back on the wedding day." There were only a few simple words in the letter, but it made Xu Yunyao feel at ease. She had guessed it before. Unexpectedly, Qin Zhan would specially ask Qin Linger to deliver a letter to her, just to make her feel at ease.

"In my opinion, elder brother doesn't need me to pass on the message at all, and I don't think sister-in-law looks worried at all." Qin Ling ate the pastry on the table, pouted her mouth, and let it go.

"It's Yunyao's lack of manners, Princess Lao has worked hard, thank you Princess."

Seeing Xu Yunyao's appearance, Qin Ling burst out laughing, "I am optimistic about you, you can definitely take my brother down, just Mo Ziyuan..."

"You know about her?" Xu Yunyao remembered what Qin Zhan said, his family didn't know that he hid Mo Ziyuan in Lingnan.

"My elder brother mentioned her to you?" Qin Ling was a little surprised. He didn't expect Qin Zhan to mention Mo Ziyuan to Xu Yunyao.

"Well, I said a little bit." Xu Yunyao mentioned Mo Ziyuan, and her face was a little unhappy, but she didn't show it too much.

"No matter what my brother said to you, don't take my brother's words too seriously. In my opinion, this Mo Ziyuan will drag down my elder brother sooner or later." Qin Ling was unhappy when he mentioned Mo Ziyuan, but he couldn't.

Xu Yunyao was puzzled. According to Qin Ling, she knew that her brother hid Mo Ziyuan in private, but he never mentioned it, "Does the prince and concubine know about your elder brother?"

"If my mother and concubine find out, I have to break the elder brother's leg. How can I let them know." Qin Ling knew what Xu Yunyao wanted to ask, so she said it herself, "I went to the military camp earlier and followed him secretly. Brother saw it."

"Princess, why don't you tell me about your elder brother's past with Miss Mo?" Xu Yunyao thought that since the princess and Ling'er didn't like her, this Mo Ziyuan could be a powerful character.

"The Mo family and my family were family friends, and Mo Ziyuan and my eldest brother were childhood sweethearts. At first, the two families also intended to get married, but later the Mo family and King Jin got closer, and even betrothed Mo Ziyuan to him. Discussed many times."

"King Jin? But the King Jin who rebelled and was beheaded?" Xu Yunyao didn't know that Mo Ziyuan had a marriage contract with him.

"That's right, it's him." Qin Ling promised Yunyao's words, and continued: "Later, the King of Jin rebelled, and the Mo family was implicated for supporting the King of Jin. All the men of the Mo family were beheaded, and the women were demoted to low status. This Mo Ziyuan So he ran out from the brothel with his own martial arts, and immediately looked for my elder brother."

"So your elder brother took her in?" Xu Yunyao thought that with Qin Zhan's infatuation with her, he would definitely take care of her.

"Well, the elder brother secretly hid her in the mansion as a maidservant. When the concubine mother found out, she was furious and severely punished the elder brother, saying that the elder brother was ignorant and that doing so would kill the whole family."

"Afterwards, Mo Ziyuan pretended to be wronged in front of her eldest brother, and coaxed her to buy a yard for her in the suburbs. My mother and concubine were very displeased with her. When she promised to King Jin, she kept a close distance from her. , now that I have been convicted, I will tell my elder brother all kinds of affectionate pains."

When Qin Ling mentioned Mo Ziyuan, she became angry and disliked her very much.

"So the concubine made a move?" Xu Yunyao thought to herself, if she hadn't made a move, Qin Zhan wouldn't have had to hide her secretly.

"My mother asked her to drive her out of the capital. In a fit of anger, my eldest brother made a big fuss with my mother and concubine. He never returned to the capital and stayed in the military camp. Because my mother was worried about my eldest brother, she asked me to visit the army. Who would have discovered that this bitch went to Lingnan with my elder brother."

"Brother asked me to keep him a secret. I thought that if the concubine mother knew about this, the two would definitely have a big quarrel, which would hurt the relationship between the mother and the child, so I didn't break it." Qin Ling looked at Xu Yunyao and paused again, drinking He took a sip of tea and continued talking.

"Brother said that he met her on the way back to Lingnan. At that time, she was surrounded by a group of bandits, so he saved her. From my point of view, this was a trap set up by her. But my brother is so stubborn, but his heart is all there. On her..."

When Qin Ling said this, she thought something was wrong, so she glanced at Xu Yunyao, she was fine, "It's okay, let's continue!"

"In my opinion, if she really likes Eldest Brother, she shouldn't stay with her. Once other people find out, wouldn't Eldest Brother be accused of treason by hiding from the court?"

What Qin Ling said was correct, if she was sincere for Qin Zhan, she shouldn't have appeared in front of her. This woman is really not a worry-free person.

"Although my brother is obsessed with that woman, I am on your side, sister-in-law. I believe you will definitely turn my brother's prodigal son back." Qin Ling put her arms around Xu Yunyao's arm and leaned on her shoulder Said intimately.

"Aren't you afraid that I don't have the ability?" Xu Yunyao is really not sure if she can make Qin Zhan fall in love with her, but at least she won't let this Mo Ziyuan get in the way.
