Xie Qian is the eldest daughter of the second wife, and the first one in the Xie family to get married. The Xie family has always attached great importance to this.
The old lady made the decision, wrote three books and six etiquettes, and arranged the dowry very appropriately. The other party was also a child of an official family in the capital, so she naturally attached great importance to her.
Originally, the wedding of a girl from Xie Ge's hometown would be a lively event. Just when everyone in the Xie family was getting ready, news of a war broke out in Datong.
Xie Yuncang is in charge of the Ministry of War, so he is naturally very busy.
With the current situation, who dares to have a lively wedding?
Therefore, Xie Qian's departure from the cabinet seemed particularly deserted.
Of course, this desolation was the feeling of other Xie family members. For Xie Songhua, a person who had never seen the world, he still felt that the scene was good.
When Sanchao returned home, what Xie Songhua saw was a completely different Xie Qian.
She had already combed her hair into a bun, and was accompanied by a somewhat elegant man. The old lady was very happy and left the couple talking for a while, then sent the new uncle to go ahead to talk to his father-in-law.
As a father, Xie Yuncang finally took the time to go back home, but he didn't stay long before he returned to the Yamen, with Xie Changqing and Xie Langhua accompanying the guests.
As for Xie Qian, now that she is married, when she returns to the Xie family, she will not be treated the same as before.
In the words of the old lady, when my aunt comes back, she is a spoiled guest.
All the female relatives in the mansion came out to entertain, but it was obvious that Xie Qian was not used to such occasions, so the old lady asked some of their sisters to accompany her.
It is still in the east courtyard of the old lady's house. Most of the things inside have been removed and it has been transformed into a guest room.
Xie Songhua and Xie Qian didn't know each other very well, so they just stayed with each other. The other sisters asked many curious questions, and the shyness of some of the younger daughters was clearly revealed.
Only Xie Qionghua sat there for a while, then couldn't bear it and said goodbye and went back.
Although Xie Qionghua has a fiery temper, she is a beauty. She gets sick every three days. It is said that she has been taking medicine since she could eat. This is something everyone knows. Therefore, even though she is a legitimate daughter, no one has ever come to propose marriage.
.
There are even rumors that Xie Qionghua asked a spiritual master to see his face and found that he was not a longevity person.
For this reason, the eldest son did not plan to marry off his daughter, but just raised her as an old girl.
The current occasion was a bit exciting for her. After all, this was in ancient times, and women here regarded marriage as a lifelong solution. As an unmarried person, she was certainly out of place.
Xie Shuhua, however, sneered softly when she left. Of course, the sound was very low, and only Xie Songhua could hear it if she was not far away.
Since she was sure that she could marry into the prince's palace, Xie Shuhua no longer acted as gentle and virtuous as before in the Xie family. She probably felt that she had something to rely on and no longer had to please the people in the palace!
Xie Songhua just pretended not to see it and continued to sit aside and listen.
Then I heard Xie Sihua ask: "Second sister, I heard that my brother-in-law's eldest brother is a guerrilla general in Datong, do you know what the situation is like there?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Xie Shuhua say with a smile: "Is Qimei worried about His Highness King Chen?"
Xie Sihua suddenly looked at her angrily. Although they were all sisters, this was the secret concern of her daughter's family. It was too much for Xie Shuhua to say it out loud like this.
Xie Tu's soft voice came from the corner, "Yes! Everyone is worried about His Highness Chen Wang! Although Jin Yiwei's methods are cruel and strict, His Highness Chen Wang himself has a reputation for being cold and cruel.
But the safety of the border now only depends on him. If something happens to His Highness, it will be difficult to protect Datong, followed by Taiyuan, and then we will reach the capital."
Her eyes were full of worry, sweeping away the warm atmosphere of the little girls in the room, and everyone's faces showed a bit of sadness.
Xie Sihua said quickly: "That's right! Now that Da Rong is on the border, and there has been no good news in the past few days, any Daqi citizen is naturally worried."
"His Royal Highness Chen Wang was seriously injured before. The palace sent an imperial doctor over and said he was cured. However, there was no definite news and we don't know if he has recovered."
Xie Qian's marriage coincided with such a war, and with her husband's family's sources of information, she naturally knew more than the other sisters.
Everyone began to discuss the war far away at the border again.
It's just that after all, they were just boudoir girls, and in ancient times where information was limited, their knowledge was limited, and no practical and useful information could be gained from chatting.
Xie Songhua slowly learned about this Daqi's God of War Prince Chen from people's mouths.
Originally, Xie Songhua was still thinking that since King Chen was granted the title of king so early and held an important position at the border, why was he not a strong contender for the throne?
Now I know that although King Chen is about the same age as the prince, he is not the son of the current emperor. To be precise, the current emperor should call him his cousin.
He is the nephew of the late emperor, who inherited the throne from his father.
Therefore, King Chen was actually the son of the founding emperor of Daqi, but he was born too late. When the founding emperor passed away, he was still in his mother's womb. Eventually, the throne was passed to the late emperor from brother to brother.
The founding emperor, Qi Taizu, was born in a grassroots family and had been dependent on his younger brother since he was a child. Therefore, after the death of Emperor Taizu, he attached great importance to his nephew.
When King Chen was three years old, he was named a prince and took the character "Chen" as his royal title.
Before his death, he even wanted to pass the throne to him, but King Chen strongly refused and said that if the late emperor did not take back his order, he would ask himself to leave the clan.
The current emperor inherited the great power, and at the same time inherited the late emperor's love for King Chen.
Everyone in the world knows that among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the person whom the Holy Father trusted the most and relied on most was King Chen.
And King Chen lived up to the emperor's expectations. As early as fifteen years old, he became famous in a battle at the border, recaptured more than a dozen cities lost in Da Rong by the previous dynasty, and defined the current territory.
Therefore, even though King Chen holds the power of the Jin Yiwei and makes all the officials and noble families tremble upon hearing the news, he still has a very high reputation among the people.
Otherwise, after the news that King Chen was injured some time ago, the Holy Emperor would not have moved most of the hospital and sent everyone to the front line.
Xie Songhua slowly pieced together the general image of King Chen amid the chatter of the sisters, and she couldn't help but become more curious about him.
But she also knew that even though she was Mr. Xie Ge's daughter, there was still an insurmountable distance between her and such a real nobleman, a big shot with real power.
I don't know if it was because they talked about the war, but at Xie Qian's homecoming banquet, everyone looked a little nervous.
Even before leaving, Xie Qian's uncle's face didn't look very good.
When they had dinner with the old lady in the evening, everyone realized that the situation ahead was not good.
It is said that the person sent by Da Rong this time was their eldest prince, who was also the mortal enemy of His Highness King Chen. The two had met on the battlefield back then, but the other party was defeated by His Highness King Chen.
Now it seems that they came with the mentality of avenging their previous shame, so the war is somewhat stalemate.
