After receiving the news from Duke Rong's mansion, the Xie family arranged for Xie Zhuo and Xie Yu to wait at the door early. Today, Xie Yian also took a day's leave and stayed in the mansion to take charge.
Before the guests arrived, Mrs. Xie asked twice how the food was being prepared in the kitchen.
The Xie family was very happy about this marriage. Firstly, for Xie Yixiao, it was a good marriage. Secondly, for the Xie family, it was naturally of great benefit.
Mrs. Xie is wearing a purple-blue dress with a purple bra. She is generous and decent, but not overwhelming. It is just perfect for entertaining guests on such a day.
Xie Yian also wore a blue robe, a copper crown on his head, a girdle embroidered with golden lotus patterns around his waist, and a jade pendant.
Shortly after Sishi (9 o'clock in the morning), the carriage of Duke Rong's Mansion set off. Mrs. Rong Guogong Feng and Mrs. Cao Guogong were riding in the carriage, and Mr. Rong Jiu was accompanying him on horseback. It was a lively scene along the way.
Mrs. Rong Guogong wore a princess-colored dress, a long-sleeved gown, and a gold hairpin on her head. Her hair was combed meticulously. Next to her, Mrs. Cao Guogong wore an orange-red dress and was also dressed neatly and neatly.
Young Master Rong Jiu is wearing a sky-blue robe embroidered with auspicious clouds and gold patterns, and a gold crown inlaid with white jade. He is sitting on a horse with a tall and slender posture.
'The people in Mo Shang are like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world'.
This Young Master Rong Jiu has never been a flamboyant person. He has returned home from secular life, but he also acts in a low-key manner, and has very few opportunities to appear in front of others. Many people have only heard of this man, but have never seen him.
true colors.
Now that I take a look at it from a distance, I can't help but start talking about it.
"Is that Mr. Rong Jiu?"
"you do not say!"
"You really have a good appearance. I'm afraid you won't be able to find a young master with such an appearance in Mandi City. It's like what he said in the storybook. What is he talking about? An immortal from heaven to earth."
"That's right, the Xie family girl is really lucky."
Isn't it a blessing? Not only was Rong Jiu Gongzi well-born, but he also had an extraordinary background. He was the dignified ninth son of Duke Rongguo, and he was expected to inherit the royal title from his maternal ancestors in the future.
Once this person is married, she will become the young lady of Duke Rong's palace and the future princess.
Any girl who has such an outstanding husband would wake up laughing without even dreaming.
Someone sighed: "I don't know how many girls in the Imperial City are so jealous that their teeth will be broken."
Someone on the side smiled and waved his fan: "It's just jealousy. I'm afraid I'm jealous to death in my heart. I still have to pretend to be happy and praise a good marriage. I'm afraid I'm so angry that I'm going to vomit blood."
After all, His Majesty granted me the marriage. Who dares to say such things as "unworthy" and "inappropriate"? Do you dare to question His Majesty's bad taste? Even if you are dissatisfied, no one dares to make trouble.
"No, I heard that the eldest daughter of Xuanpinghou's family was so angry that she became ill. Miss Yue of Master Yue's family also wrote a poem about cherishing spring, which said, 'It's a pity that spring comes and goes again. I wish we could meet again when we were young.'
.”
"Then the Liao family is the same. When Mr. Rong Jiu returned from secular life, the Liao family eagerly sent the girl to Rong Guogong's mansion, saying she was accompanying her aunt, but no one knew what her intentions were."
"It's a pity that in the end it was the Xie family they hated the most. I'm afraid they would have been angry to death."
Don't tell me, the Liao family is really going to be so angry that they vomit blood, but there is nothing they can do if they are so angry that they vomit blood. After all, they cannot be the masters of others.
"I wonder what kind of gift Rong Guo Gongfu gave me when he proposed marriage?"
"It's just a marriage proposal, not a betrothal. The most I can give you is twelve gifts, which are a little more precious at most. I'm more curious about what kind of gifts Rong Guo Gongfu gave me when I made the betrothal."
"Too."
Nowadays, when asking for marriage, ordinary people usually give six or eight gifts. For the powerful, the number is increased to twelve gifts, and no more.
"I'm curious. There are always one or two precious objects that you can't see. It's good to just hear about them."
The carriage drove all the way to the door of Xie's house and stopped. When Mrs. Rong Guogong and Mrs. Cao Guogong got off the carriage, Xie Zhuo and Xie Yu came forward. They both saluted: "I have met Mrs. Rong Guogong, I have met Cao Guogong."
Madam, I have met the Ninth Young Master."
Mrs. Rong Guogong exclaimed, feeling very good: "It's you two."
Xie Yu smiled playfully: "Of course it's the two of us. The two royal ladies came to visit, and the Xie family was so radiant. I thought just now that some god had descended to earth."
Mrs. Cao Guogong smiled: "I have long heard that the third son of the Xie family can speak well, but now it seems that it is true."
Xie Yu couldn't help but nod: "That's right, that's right, the people next to me can't, they just know how to speak."
Xie Zhuo said from the side: "Mrs. Rong Guo Gong, Mrs. Cao Guo Gong, and Ninth Young Master, my family has been waiting for a long time. Please invite them."
"please!"
"please!"
The two brothers introduced the guest and walked all the way to the main hall of the outer courtyard. Xie Yian and Mrs. Xie had been waiting for a long time.
Mrs. Cao Guogong had just walked to the door of the main room, saw the people inside, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir, madam, I am so happy today!"
"Mrs. Rong Guogong."
"Mrs. Cao Guogong."
"Ninth Young Master."
The two parties greeted each other with greetings and then sat down. There was a maid serving tea beside them, and the atmosphere was quite good.
Xie Yi'an looked at Rong Ci carefully and saw that he was sitting upright and steady. Although he didn't see any smiling face, he was still calm and natural, and there was no reluctance. In this way, he was satisfied.
Mrs. Cao Guogong said a few polite words, and then talked about the purpose of today's visit: "Today, I was entrusted by Mrs. Rong Guogong to marry the thirteenth girl in the house for her son. They are both about the same age.
, and being of the right age, this fate is just right, and it should be a good match."
"I wonder what my family thinks?"
"It's not like I'm just bragging. There really aren't many young men as good as the Ninth Young Master!"
Although Rong Ci has been cultivating in the temple since he was young, he is not only meditating and chanting sutras. He is not bad in both knowledge and skills. He has learned all kinds of sutras, poems and books, especially martial arts.
, even more extraordinary.
He naturally learned the Kung Fu in Yunzhong Temple, but he learned more from Master Huiyuan. Master Huiyuan was a swordsman when he was young, and the long sword in his hand was even more amazing. He was known as the only one seeking defeat in the world. Who knows?
No one dares to compete with him.
When he was in his thirties, he had an epiphany and converted to Buddhism, which is how he became Master Huiyuan.
Rong Ci has been with Master Huiyuan since he was a child, and since he is extremely talented, he naturally has the best of his abilities.
Of course, if he had no ability, the emperor would not be so satisfied with him. Bloodline is one thing, but some things can only be obtained by those who are capable, and cannot be given by just a random person.
