Less than two days later, news of Zhao Yingyue's engagement came.

The eldest son of the Song family, a magistrate from Jintan County, Changzhou outside the capital, had already combined his horoscopes and would soon be able to hold a geese gift and receive a betrothal gift.

Qiuye came back after inquiring and could basically tell the story.

Qiuye replied: "Mr. Song solved the bandits in Jintan County for many years due to outstanding performance, and this time he was Xuan entered Beijing. Mr. Song followed him to Beijing to see the world. He attended the ice feast that day. The wife also met.

After the Song Master, Mr. Song looks very well-behaved and is good at studying. He thinks it is OK. The master wants to get things done as soon as possible and can go to Yanguan with peace of mind, so he doesn't care about the amount of betrothal gifts. After the Song family heard this, Mr. Song had already

They raised money everywhere and sent people to Jintan County. After fifteen years, they would handle Najina Zheng together."

It's the tenth day of the lunar month, and there are not many days before the New Year. If it's an ordinary family, it will naturally feel that something big happened and you have to marry your daughter out as soon as possible. But the General Zhenguo Mansion is different. General Zhao will have to go back after the New Year.

The border continued to be guarded, either having to delay the marriage for another year, or just being so anxious.

However, many people still think that General Zhao does not want the concubine daughter to get involved in the third prince's choice of concubine, so he is in a hurry to get married.

Xining knew very well that if you want to deal with Aunt Xu as soon as possible, you should marry Zhao Yingxue first. Otherwise, once your mother dies, a filial daughter like Zhao Yingxue will definitely be filial for three years. After these three years, Zhao Yingxue will be eighteen years old.

At this time, the 18-year-old woman was considered an older woman unmarried, and it was even more difficult to find a suitable marriage.

In fact, what General Zhao didn't know was that Zhao Yingxue had been taken aback by the third prince. If the imperial edict was issued, don't say that his mother died, even if he died, his father would be carried in at that time. He would not say that he was unfilial, but instead he would look so damn.

The grace of the woman who lost her relatives has a support.

Xining nodded in praise: "Thank you for your hard work, I'll call you if you have something to do."

"Yes, Miss!" Qiuye stepped aside, picked up the needle and thread to embroider the handkerchief.

Dongmei and the other three maids are still busy, and the charcoal fire needs to be added, the clothes need to be sorted, and the lady’s medicine soup and snacks need to be made. But even Dongmei doesn’t dare to complain about Qiuye, after all, Qiuye is about spreading the message.

, recognize people better than them.

"What are you doing to stop me? A bold and slutty slave, I'm looking for the third sister, third sister, third sister..." Zhao Yingxue ran in from outside despite the obstruction of the old lady and maid.

He threw himself on her and cried so sadly.

Xining stretched out her hand and waved her hand gently to the outer courtyard mother and maid who followed her nervously, signaling them to go out first.

Seeing that the lady seemed not angry, the maid took a little snack and stepped out.

"What's wrong with the second sister?" Xining gently patted Zhao Yingxue on the shoulder: "Stop crying, I just want to lie down and sleep for a while, then you ran over and cried as soon as you came. Who bullied you?

”

"Sister Three, I won't marry. Tell your father, I won't marry!" Zhao Yingxue cried so hard that her shoulders were trembling.

Originally, she thought that there might be good news from the third prince, but she didn't expect that General Zhao would prepare to marry her outside the capital, and she was the son of a ninth-rank county magistrate.

Even if she can't become a concubine, she should find a better family. Compared to the third prince's golden value and the son of a ninth-rank county magistrate, the difference is simply one heaven and one earth. How could she bear this difference?

Qiuye and Dongmei came to help him, Dongmei said softly: "Miss Second Miss get up first, my lady is weak, please don't let her breathless by holding her. Yanhong, hurry up and get some hot water

Come here and let the second lady wipe her face."

Qiuye also came to persuade: "Yes, get up first and talk about it slowly if you have something to do."

Zhao Yingxue was helped up and sat on the other side of the warm kang. Her eyes were swollen and her face turned pale.

"I have heard of this." After all, it was Aunt Xu who made the mistake, not her. Xining planned to persuade him: "Although Lord Song is currently only a ninth-rank county magistrate, he can manage the county well. This time he entered Beijing.

It was also specially summoned by the government and should be promoted."

Zhao Yingxue tightly stirred the Ropa in her hand and lowered her head: "I participated in the ice feast and had not received the attention of the officials. The officials just asked him to attend the banquet, so how could there be any promotion?"

Xining smiled and shook her head: "Those who could sit near the official family and the Queen that day were all the Lords of the aristocratic family. If it were not specially given a seat, Lord Song's position would probably be almost out of the hall. How can the official family pay attention to it?

I got it, even if I knew, in front of so many civil and military officers, what should I say? Lord Song was a bandit suppression, not a fight against the Huns, and it was not such a big favor."

"Besides, even if the government has forgotten it, if we learn that Lord Song's son married the daughter of the General's Mansion, why don't we pay more attention?"

That's right, now the General Zhenguo Mansion has reached the point where there is no reward or no title. If it goes on, there will be only a royal marriage and a title for a Duke. For General Zhao's three sons, the prince does not need to reward him, and he will be

Inherit the title. The second and third sons should pay some rewards. It will not be too late to reward them if they have military merits, otherwise they will encounter the situation where they cannot be rewarded in the future.

If you can't reward the General's Mansion in Zhenguo, you can reward your son-in-law. After the eldest sister got married, the small official was promoted. She had to be promoted last year. If General Zhao hadn't strongly refused, saying that frequent promotion would make the court officials dissatisfied, and officials in the world were heartbroken

If you do nothing, the government will give up. Otherwise, you will have to be promoted one level.

Zhao Yingxue seemed to have not calmed down much: "But Mr. Song is just a scholar at present, and he is not even a disciple. When his eldest sister got married, his brother-in-law was at least an eighth-rank county magistrate."

Moreover, even his father, Lord Song, has a position that is not as high as his brother-in-law. He is only a ninth rank, and he is really a ninth rank official.

"If I get married, I will leave the capital like an elder sister?" Zhao Yingxue felt like a knife when she thought of this. Changzhou belongs to Jiangnan. Although she is still rich, she is very far away from the capital. Wouldn't that be even farther than the elder sister?

So he was eager to ask, "Sister, go and talk to your father, I won't marry you."

Seeing that Xining's face was slightly dark, as if she was a little impatient due to fatigue, she quickly added: "I can't bear to leave my third sister. If I marry so far, I will have fewer opportunities to see my third sister in the future."

Asi, I didn’t see much on weekdays. Instead, my body is arrogant and willful, so if Zhao Yingxue can avoid it, she will avoid it.

Xining took a deep breath, and his words were still gentle: "You are married, and you may not leave the capital immediately. I heard that Mr. Song has a very good knowledge. After getting married, I asked my father to help him study at the Imperial College and wait until the scientific examination starts next year.

, if you can’t get a title on the deposit list, you can get an imperial edict, wouldn’t that be good?”

It is a good thing that a concubine's daughter can become an imperial decree. After all, a concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter. A noble family will not marry her, so she can only be taken as a concubine.

Since General Zhao can choose the Song family, he must have considered this way. Even if he is a concubine's daughter, he is General Zhao's daughter. Moreover, with the Song family's background, it is difficult to marry a legitimate daughter of an official above the seventh rank.

.It is even more impossible for a legitimate daughter of a Beijing official with a fifth rank or above.
