Besides, Qi Xiao waited for half an hour outside the courtyard wall of Zuo Xiang's Mansion before she saw her parents' sedan being carried over.
He hurriedly got off the horse and stepped forward to greet him. When the maid saw him, she smiled from ear to ear and said, "Congratulations to the young master, congratulations to the young master."
Poor Qi Xiao still had the slightest idea that Mrs. Lin and Zuo Xiangfu would not agree. When she heard the congratulations from her servants, her heart dropped to pieces.
It's like a dream.
Fortunately, he had laughed at the casualness of Prince Xin'an's marriage, but he laughed too early. He was even more casual than Prince Xin'an's marriage.
Yesterday I recognized the wrong person and brought the wrong girl home, and today I decided to get married.
Could it be any more sloppy?!
Mrs. Qi was sitting in a soft sedan, thinking about the appointment. The Lin family had a house in Kyoto, not far from the Duke of Qi's mansion, but it was unoccupied all year round. Only a few wives and servants were left to clean. Mrs. Lin brought her daughter in
For those who live in Zuo Xiangfu in Beijing, it is unlikely that this betrothal gift can be sent to the Lin family. It has to be sent to Huaizhou. But Huaizhou is far away from Kyoto, more than 500 miles away. The bride-to-be team will be smaller every time.
It’s been months.
She had to go back and discuss this matter with the old lady. Finally, her son's marriage was settled. She was very anxious now. She just wanted to marry her daughter-in-law as soon as possible so that her son would feel at ease.
She was distracted when she heard the congratulations from the maid and the young man. Mrs. Qi came back to her senses. She opened the sedan curtain and saw a depressed face, as if she was mourning her concubine's son. Her good mood was suddenly cast a shadow. How could she have given birth to such a bastard son?
, dared to show such a bad face in front of the Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion, and Mrs. Lin, Miss Lin, would be very angry if she found out about it.
Mrs. Qi glared at her son, "Your mother, I have tried my best to persuade you, and the Prime Minister Zuo has tried all my best to say good things to you. It was not easy for me to settle the marriage. Are you still not satisfied?"
Can he be satisfied?
He only knew what Miss Lin looked like, but didn't know anything else.
"But my son doesn't understand her at all," Qi Xiao said.
Mrs. Qi became even more angry when she heard this, "How can you understand a lady who lives in a boudoir and never steps out of the door?"
Qi Xiao was speechless.
Mrs. Qi is very angry, and marriages are arranged by parents or matchmakers. Many men and women even do not know what the other person looks like before they get married, and they only meet for the first time when they lift the hijab.
When her son grows up and has his own ideas, she is willing to respect him, but she needs to get to know the girl before getting engaged.
How to know?
Do you climb the wall every day to spy on other girls?
Apart from the public appearances, only her childhood sweethearts who grew up together could satisfy her son's desire to get to know him first. She had no choice but to bring his cousin to Beijing. It was better for him, and she had many excuses. Now that she has made such a joke, he
To make matters right, she took the opportunity to settle down the marriage, saving him the trouble of picking and choosing. Most young masters of his age from aristocratic families already had two or three children, but he hadn't even settled down yet.
He had the nerve to go out for a walk, but she was afraid of being questioned when she went out.
Mrs. Qi handed out a jade pendant from the sedan window, "This is a token of engagement between you and Miss Lin. Keep it."
Qi Xiao, "..."
In the glare of his mother's eyes, Qi Xiao raised his hand with difficulty to take the jade pendant.
Tongxin jade pendant, exquisitely carved, can be held in the hand, it is heavy.
The news of Qi Xiao's engagement to the cousin of Zuo Xiangfu spread quickly. After all, it is the Duke's Palace, and Qi Xiao is the eldest son's direct grandson. He will inherit the title of Qi Duke's Palace in the future. His marriage can also affect the court to some extent.
For example, when Empress Song and Concubine Xia heard about the engagement between the eldest son of the Duke of Qi and the cousin of the Zuo Xiangfu, their faces became very long.
Neither Empress Song nor Concubine Xia was able to win over the Duke of Qi. Over the years, the Duke of Qi has remained neutral and did not participate in the struggle to establish the crown prince. But now that they are married to the cousin of the Prime Minister Zuo, it is clear that they are siding with Concubine Qin Xian.
.
Concubine Qin Xian's power grew again.
The news of Qi Xiao and Lin Yun's engagement reached the Jingnan Palace, and when it reached Su Tang's ears, Su Tang was really surprised, "The marriage was decided too quickly, right?" This chapter has been completed!
