Yuan Xueqing and Qiao Yuning can become good friends because they are essentially the same people.
It's just that Yuan Xueqing acted tough, while Qiao Yuning's weapon was weak.
Think carefully about how many things she had settled for Qiao Yuning when they were young together. Fortunately, Qiao Yuning would not completely take advantage of her. Many times, she would face the disputes between the noble ladies outside.
, two people can be considered mutually beneficial.
The moment she came crying in front of him that day, Yuan Xueqing knew that if she married into the Wen family, her relationship with Qiao Yuning would no longer be the same as before.
This is not very sad for Yuan Xueqing. After all, the only person she cares about most is her mother.
It's just that she happened to be able to make another judgment about the Wen family's situation from Qiao Yuning's words. Perhaps, the Wen family was not as beautiful as it seemed on the surface.
First of all, I am afraid that there is no love from a husband.
She couldn't learn Qiao Yuning's methods of dealing with men, not to mention that she knew many things between Wen Liang and Qiao Yuning.
An ordinary man would not be able to escape from Qiao Yuning's grasp.
How will she deal with herself in the future?
Isn't what happened to her mother enough to alert her?
And Qiao Yuyan, when he handed her over to Princess Jiahe at Daxiangguo Temple, he thought that Princess Jiahe would definitely kill her, so he didn't hide himself.
But who knows, now Qiao Yuyan is alive and well, but Jiahe is dead.
Looking at Qiao Yuyan's performance today, she really looked like a qualified female elder coming to propose marriage.
The more she behaves like this, the more dangerous Yuan Xueqing feels.
Qiao Yuyan has not been married to the Wen family for a year, but Wen Liang's marriage has been left to her, which shows that she has completely established herself in the Wen family.
What's more, now that her husband is so valued by her superiors, such a natural enemy also makes Yuan Xueqing want to quit.
Keeping the bride price is not only to convert it into a dowry, but also has the function of allowing her to return the bride price honorably if the marriage fails.
Once this thing falls into the hands of her stupid and selfish father, half of it will be spent within two days, and she will be the one who is embarrassed by then.
Yuan Xueqing now only hopes that Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Chen can tell her how she behaved today and let the Wen family find reasons to reject the marriage. Then she can still keep part of the bride price, and at the same time she doesn't need to
Marry into the Wen family.
But Yuan Xueqing did not expect that not only did she not wait for the news that the Wen family was going to terminate the engagement, but she instead waited for the matchmaker the next day.
She said with a face full of joy that the Wen family hoped to get the wedding done as soon as possible and specially selected a few good days for the Yuan family to choose.
Master Yuan immediately agreed upon seeing it. Before Yuan Xueqing could say anything, he followed the Wen family's wishes and set the wedding date on the tenth day of the next month.
It's less than a month from now.
Yuan Xueqing felt that it was not as if the Wen family were eager to let her in, but rather as if her parents were eager to sweep her out as soon as possible.
Old Mrs. Wen was also a little dissatisfied with this day, "How can we prepare in such a short time?"
Ms. Chen smiled at the side and said, "My wife hopes that my younger siblings will come over soon. She probably also hopes that she can have her grandson soon."
Mrs. Wen's health is now in this state, and her mental state is even worse than that of the old lady. She is such a son, so it is understandable that she is anxious.
Old Mrs. Wen nodded, "I'm just going to tire you out. It's not an easy job to organize happy events on such a hot day."
Mrs. Chu then smiled and said: "That's what I was about to say! My third brother and sister and I have also discussed it. It's not that we can't do it in such a short time, it's not that we can't do it, but we may not be able to do everything thoroughly and properly. We still have to do it.
We have to say it first, but we can’t point out our faults in front of our four younger siblings later.”
The old lady looked at Qiao Yuyan and saw that Qiao Yuyan was talking to several maids about needlework.
It's not that she didn't hear the topic here, it just meant that she didn't want to care about it.
Old Mrs. Wen also knows what Liu Fang is planning now. If she doesn't want to, asking her to help would be embarrassing.
She then smiled and said, "Don't try to be careless about me here. I'll leave this matter to you two. If it's done well, I'll reward you heavily. If it's not done well, I'll also punish you."
Qiao Yuyan really didn't want to get involved in the eldest brother's affairs anymore, especially such a big event as Wen Liang's marriage. It would be easy for something to go wrong if he wasn't careful. That would be a fishy mess instead of eating the mutton.
What's more, she has other things to worry about recently.
It's already July, and the late emperor's posthumous title has not yet been discussed. First, there are funerals for several princes and princesses, and later there is the selection of scholars in the spring. The court is very busy. Although this matter is urgent, it is only a matter of urgency.
Anxiety is in the dark.
But now that all the big things have just come to an end, and the tense atmosphere in the court has relaxed a bit, the posthumous title of the late emperor was immediately noticed by others.
Mr. Cui, the Minister of Rites, has submitted his request to become an official for the sixth time, but has not been approved.
As the head of the Ministry of Etiquette, he was the first to bear the brunt of this matter. He also wanted to protect his evening, so he took advantage of the opportunity to leave at this time.
But the new emperor's intention seems to be very obvious. This matter is to rest on Mr. Cui's shoulders and let him bear this important responsibility before abdicating the throne.
The quarrel in the court over the late emperor's posthumous title became more and more fierce, but the emperor did not say a word about it, as if he wanted to see the final result of the quarrel between several groups of people.
Those who had just been promoted from several important families were bent on criticizing the late emperor for being virtuous and unkind, indulged in pleasure, murdered his own children, and favored traitors. They should be given a bad posthumous title.
In fact, almost all of these families were suppressed by the late Emperor during the First Prince's Rebellion. As a result, many of the backbone members of the family were damaged, so they naturally had a malicious view of the First Emperor.
What's more, after the death of the first prince and the queen of Yuan Dynasty, the late emperor did not achieve anything. He was obsessed with beauty and elixirs. Most of the people in the court were upstarts with weak foundations and unsophisticated political methods. The whole Daqi was here.
Over the past decade or so, the country's power has gradually declined, and he indeed has an unshirkable responsibility.
On the other side, there are the old people in the court. It is true that these people were kind to the late emperor, but the kindness of knowing him was not enough to make them compete for the late emperor at this time with the old and well-established families in the court.
In the final analysis, it is actually more about showing loyalty and integrity. After all, even if Daqi's national power has declined due to the fault of the late emperor, firstly, there is no war caused by his foreign invasion, and secondly, there are no natural disasters.
The world is in chaos.
Generally speaking, the power of the court is relatively stable. Based on this alone, the new emperor, as the son of the late emperor, should be given a decent posthumous title. And these people are fighting for the late emperor now to express their feelings about the imperial court and the royal family.
of loyalty.
In addition, there are still many unknown factions in the court. The remaining forces from the past are taking advantage of the muddy waters and are messing around among them, making this matter even more chaotic.
It happened that news came yesterday that Mr. Cui, the Minister of Rites, had a stroke and was paralyzed in bed.
This morning, the Holy Emperor sent the imperial physician to treat him, and sent the eunuch in charge of rituals to comfort him. The letter requesting him to become an official was finally approved.
With Master Cui leaving, the first person to bear the pressure will be Qiao Weisheng.
