After returning home from the secular world, I don't know how many powerful clans in the imperial city are staring at that position, and I don't know how many girls are watching eagerly.
Everyone in the Imperial City speculated which girl would win the crown jewel.
For this reason, some people secretly set up bankers and let people place bets, and there are quite a few people who bet.
It is said that the one who has the best chance is the daughter of the Xu family of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, followed by the girl from the Yue family, the young prince, the girl from the Liao family, the girl from the Wen family, and so on, there is a long list of names.
But there was nothing to thank the girl for.
Xie Shisan? From Xie Ge’s hometown? From your aunt’s generation?
Some people don't know this person exists at all: "Xie Shisan? Who is that? And she's an aunt? She must be in her twenties or thirties, right? She is worthy of the Ninth Young Master?"
"Who said that? You don't know that. Although Xie Shisan is from the Xie family's aunt's generation, he is not very old. He has just grown hair this year and is good at poetry and painting. Xie Wuye, do you know? He is her father.
.”
"Her mother is the legitimate daughter of the Changning Marquis Mansion. Since her parents are gone, she has been raised in the Changning Marquis Mansion these years."
Having said that, many people know who this Xie Shisan is. Speaking of it, this person is really my aunt's generation.
"It's a coincidence that Mr. Rong Jiu was born later. In terms of seniority, they are of the same generation."
"Isn't that a perfect match?"
"Yes, yes, we are destined to be a good match."
Everyone was talking about it, but in just one afternoon, everyone in Mandi City knew about it.
Are there any people who are upset? Of course there are some, but after all, His Majesty granted me the marriage, and no one dares to say a bad word.
Moreover, Duke Rongguo's mansion and the Xie family are not easy to mess with. If there is no engagement, it is normal for everyone to have some ideas. But His Majesty has already granted the marriage, and the marriage is a certainty. Who dares to have any other ideas.
It’s Miss Xu and Miss Yue who, when talking about this matter, would say ‘a match made in heaven, a perfect match made in heaven’.
However, at this time in the Liao family, Mrs. Liao was trembling with anger: "It's really decided that Xie Shisan? It's really decided that Xie Shisan! They even asked His Majesty to grant a marriage!"
"The Rongguo Palace really doesn't take me seriously at all!"
She walked around the room, clutching the handkerchief tightly, her face turning pale with anger.
Since the last time she and Liao Wanxi were scolded by Mrs. Rong Guogong and returned to the Liao family, she never went back.
Rong Ting came to pick her up a few times, but she said that she would not live under the same roof as the Xie family girl.
If Rong Ting wants to take her back, he must first reject the idea of Mrs. Rong Guogong asking Xie Yixiao to come in as his daughter-in-law. Otherwise, she will never go back. It will be up to him whether he wants her as his wife or not.
However, Rong Ting always refused to agree to her, and even after dragging her back and forth, the emperor even granted her a marriage.
As soon as the emperor's decree came out, the Xie family and Xie Shisan didn't know how beautiful it would be. She didn't need to go outside to listen to know what kind of praise there was, praising this good marriage.
Then Xie Shisan actually had such a glorious time?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help biting her lip: "It's really of no use at all!"
The maid on the side didn't dare to express her anger, but Liao Wanxi was very anxious. She asked: "Aunt, what should we do now? Your Majesty has granted me a marriage."
Liao Wanxi was also unwilling to give in. She was different from the Liao family. When the Liao family was unmarried, her family was still rich in money and wealth. She was the daughter of the Liao family and the most talented woman in the imperial city. She was praised highly by others.
Live a life of fine clothing and fine food.
Even though she was married, she was also married to Rong Guo Gongfu. She had been serving as the noble third young wife of Rong Guo Gongfu. She was respected and held up by others, and she had no idea what a hard life was like.
But after Liao Wanxi was born, her family was really in decline. I don’t know how much of the family’s property was sold off, and there were probably not many precious items left. Her life was not bad, but it was worse than those of the powerful.
The noble girls of the clan are actually quite different.
Liao Wanxi didn't want to live a hard life, and who among the dignitaries in Mandi City didn't know about the situation of the Liao family? She wanted to marry well, but I'm afraid it was impossible. The only one she could get closer to was
It is Young Master Rong Jiu who has these two points of kinship.
If she didn't even have a chance with Young Master Rong Jiu, she wouldn't know what to do in the future.
Mrs. Liao bit her lip, feeling that there was no way to continue staying in the Liao family. She also felt that her efforts these days were in vain. It was stupid of her to want Rong Ting to handle this matter. She should have known that he was a useless person.
Even though he is capable, you still expect him to speak out like this and go against his parents?
It would be better for her to mess up the marriage at Duke Rong's mansion.
Now that the imperial edict has come down, she may not be able to stop it even if she wants to.
Thinking of this, she became very upset.
"Go back to Duke Rong's mansion." After saying that, she looked at Liao Wanxi again, "You also come back with me."
Liao Wanxi was naturally eager to do so and nodded vigorously: "Yes, aunt."
So the aunt and nephew packed up their things and hurried to Duke Rong's mansion without anyone picking them up.
The news soon reached the Changning Marquis Mansion. Jiang said hello twice, and then asked the steward of the manor to give an extra month's money to the people in the manor as a way of congratulations.
Zhou's expression was gloomy, as if he had been hit, and his whole body was not in good spirits.
Gu Ying was so sour that her lemon juice almost burst out, and she walked up and down the yard.
"She is going to marry Young Master Rong Jiu? His Majesty even granted the marriage? Granted the marriage!"
"She is actually going to marry Young Master Rong Jiu? Actually Young Master Rong Jiu? Doesn't that mean she will be a princess in the future?"
"She's going to be a princess!"
Gu Yan was quite happy: "Then we will have a cousin who will be the princess in the future."
"Are you stupid?" Gu Ying turned around and glared at her, "Why is she the princess? Why not me? How can I not be as good as her?"
Gu Ying rolled her eyes and looked her up and down for a while. Seeing this, Gu Ying straightened her chest and raised her chin.
Gu Yan commented honestly: "But you are a concubine, and you are not as good-looking as your cousin."
When Gu Ying heard this, her whole face was distorted. She came up to settle the score with Gu Yan. Seeing this, Gu Yan ran away quickly.
Gu Ying was so angry: "Stop! Stop! Don't run, don't run!"
Gu Yan was so stupid that he didn't run away. Why didn't he run away and wait to be beaten?
"Your Majesty has granted you a marriage to the ninth son of Duke Rong?" Gu You was slightly surprised when he heard the news.
Xiaozhuang hurriedly said: "Isn't that right? Our cousin will be very lucky in the future. Today everyone is saying that your majesty is giving this marriage to the Ninth Young Master to propose marriage. What he is giving is not a reward, but a betrothal gift. Maybe not long after,
Our cousin is the princess."
"What a great joy!"
Gu You lowered the corner of his mouth and said indifferently: "What's so exciting? It's just to be married to a stranger. No matter how good the marriage is, what's the use? It's just a good look."
Xiao Mo said with emotion: "Speaking of which, my cousin was in love with the eldest son before, but it's a pity..."
