For ordinary marriages, regardless of whether the master of the Suiping residence is at home or not, the eunuch who delivers the edict will only go to the residence to read out the imperial edict. The servants of the residence will then deliver the letter to Nanyang and Gusu.

But in order to show favor to Zhao Ruxi and Zhao Yuanxun, Xiao Ge specially asked the eunuch to go to Nanyang and Gusu to convey the order.

Before the eunuch set out on the second day, Xiao Lingyan personally gave him a generous reward and asked him to go to Suiping's residence.

So Suiping's uncle's house, which had no master, suddenly welcomed the eunuch who came with the decree. When he learned that his girl had been married to King Qi, the whole house was happy. The servants who stayed behind gave the eunuch a reward and asked people to go to the second room.

, Sanfang sent the good news. After thinking about it, they sent the good news to the Duke Wei’s Mansion and several aunts’ homes.

When Su knew the news, she was naturally happy for Zhao Ruxi.

She is now orphaned and widowed, with young children, and she has to rely on Suiping's residence. The better Suiping's residence is, the better off her life will be.

When the second wife heard the news of the marriage, her mood was extremely complicated.

It's not that we are not happy for Zhao Ruxi, everyone is happy. Just thinking of the two sisters Zhao Rurui and Zhao Ruyu, the father and son have indescribable feelings in their hearts.

"Fifth sister is so good like this." Zhao Jingan murmured.

He would not have considered the current situation until he reached that level. He felt that marrying a prince and becoming a princess was the supreme honor for a woman, so he felt this way.

"Yes." Zhao Yuanliang remembered the first time he saw Zhao Ruxi in Xiaorong Village. At that time, he thought she was his daughter, and felt guilty and attentive to her.

Unexpectedly, in just over two years, she would become the number one scholar and marry the prince as his concubine, standing at a height that he needed to look up to.

The eunuch delivering the edict was going to Nanyang, so it was relatively early to deliver the edict to Suiping Bofu. Zhao Jingtai was a low-ranking official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so naturally he was not qualified to go to court. At this time, he was still at home and did not go to the Yamen.

He sighed: "So whether you are a man or a woman, you should work hard on your own and don't always expect to rely on others. Look at the fifth sister, then look at the fourth sister and the sixth sister. Their starting points are not similar, but far apart.

.The fifth sister used to have to save pen and ink in the countryside, and there were not many books to read. However, the fourth sister and the sixth sister had specially invited female teachers to teach them."

"But look at their achievements today and the path each of them has chosen..." He shook his head and said no more.

Zhao Yuanliang was a little stunned.

He knew his son didn't mean to be sarcastic, but he always felt like he had been shot in the chest.

Zhao Jingan was silent for a moment, nodded, stood up and said: "Although the fifth sister is very smart, her hard work is the key factor for her to be where she is today. She has never let go of the book or the pen. Whenever we go there, she is not

Reading is just like practicing calligraphy, and there is very little time to rest, let alone play.”

"Such a talent is worthy of His Highness Prince Qi's proposal to marry him. Unlike the Fourth Sister and the Sixth Sister, who do nothing and think about how to marry a good family all day long. In the end, they end up being concubines for others. It's really a trick of fate."

After saying that, he stood up and said: "I'm going to study. Next spring, I will definitely pass the Tongsheng Examination."

In fact, his goal was to be a scholar. But he was worried that his father and brother would say that he was too ambitious, so he lowered his goal a little. After all, he failed the childbirth examination this spring, so he was not qualified to make big claims.

"I also went to the Yamen." Zhao Jingli was also full of fighting spirit and decided to study arithmetic harder and become an indispensable official in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Zhao Yuanliang looked at the backs of his two sons and asked, "Do you want to send someone to tell your fourth and sixth sisters about this news?"

Zhao Jingli paused and glanced at Zhao Jing'an.

Zhao Jingan lowered his head and nodded: "Okay, let's tell them and let them know what ambitious women will get."

To be honest, when I first learned that Zhao Ruyu was also a concubine and saw the letters she left behind, Zhao Jing'an was the one who was hit the hardest.

He always thought that Zhao Ruyu was his twin sister. The two grew up together and had a deep relationship. Later, even though he knew that Zhao Ruyu was not a child of the Zhao family, he was still willing to do his best to protect her.

Although he was very disappointed with Zhao Ruyu after the separation, the feelings he had for so many years could not be erased.

He really didn't expect Zhao Ruyu to choose such a path.

Zhao Ruyu is different from Zhao Rurui. Although she is not the biological daughter of the Zhao family, her appearance is better than Zhao Rurui's, and her personality is better than her. She is a student of the Capital Women's Academy, and her piano skills are so good. With the personalities of the second wife and son, it is natural for her to be given a dowry when she gets married.

Yes. As long as she wants, she can definitely marry a better family.

But she chose to be someone's concubine.

For a man who has only been married to his wife for a month and then takes a concubine, why should she give up her dignity and spend a lifetime with him?

Zhao Jingan couldn't understand.

Seeing that one of the two sons had returned to his yard and the other had gone out of the gate, Zhao Yuanliang called his mother-in-law over and said: "You ask the kitchen to make some snacks that the sixth girl likes to eat, and send them to Prince Jingping's palace. By the way, bring the fifth girl to the palace."

Tell her about the marriage."

The mother-in-law said reluctantly: "Sir, the people in Prince Jingping's Palace said that Miss Six is ​​just a concubine. They said they don't know what the rules are in our palace. Anyway, concubines in their palace are not allowed to deliver things to outsiders all day long.

Tell us not to send any more things to their house. Although their palace may not be rich in food and clothing, at least my aunt will not be hungry."

"Last time, the old slave spent half a penny on something, and his mouth was worn out, so he begged the concierge to pass the things in. But he didn't get any response."

"The fifth girl's good news, since the sixth girl is in the palace, she will know about it sooner or later. Yi Laonu thinks, let's just forget about it now."

Zhao Yuanliang's face darkened: "Why, I can't control you anymore, right? If I want to send things and messages to my daughter, do I need your consent, an old slave?"

"I don't dare." The mother-in-law knelt down quickly, "I just have to do what I asked you to do. It's just that I can only make so much money every month, and I have to support my family, so I really can't afford it."

Zhao Yuanliang stared at her and was angry for a long time. Then he reluctantly took out a small piece of silver from his arms and threw it in front of his mother-in-law: "Go quickly."

"Yes." The mother-in-law picked up the silver and bowed before retreating.

Zhao Yuanliang spat at her back and touched the money in his arms with a look of pain on his face.

The eldest son is given a monthly allowance of ten taels of silver by the housekeeper. He usually does not dare to go to a restaurant to drink with his gang of gangster friends, fearing that he will have to pay back the invitation if he eats them. His ten taels of silver are all spent on himself except for his own expenses.
