Chapter Ten: The Emperor Has
In the early morning, You Tingrong's black hair was half-naked, and her long raven-black hair moved close to her body. The warm breeze of early summer blew her, adding a bit of agility to her.
At this moment, You Tingrong was rushing to collect morning dew for the old lady. Because she was serving in front of the old lady, she wore plain clothes and a light face. After finishing her work, You Tingrong noticed the third aunt standing in the corridor. She didn't know how long she had been looking at her.
"Third aunt." You Tingrong greeted her warmly from a short distance away.
Third Yiniang watched You Tingrong approach from a distance. She was still wearing a silk and linen wide shirt. The sky blue dress was plain except for the woven flowers on the collar. The thin waist buckle loosely hooked her slender waist, and she walked delicately.
Drunken to the ears.
"The eldest lady is really filial." Third Yiniang replied politely. She did not dare to underestimate You Tingrong now.
The third aunt looked at the familiar face in front of her. She didn't know why, but since the eldest lady came back from the Inspiration Temple, her whole person has changed... She has a unique charm and is particularly attractive.
The two of them entered the house together and sat down.
"Look at me today, the eldest lady is really like a fairy." In front of the old lady, the third aunt's praise seemed to be sincere.
"Now that the second young lady's affairs have been decided, the eldest young lady is the elder sister and should be concerned about life-long affairs." The third aunt said in a serious tone.
The old lady became energetic when she mentioned this matter. She was worried about You Tingrong's marriage.
Although she is a granddaughter, You Tingrong grew up beside the old lady. Unfortunately, it has only been two years since their family moved to the capital. There has been no suitable candidate in the capital, and they are reluctant to marry their daughter back to Qi County.
"If you think something is good, just say so!" The old lady was anxious and didn't care that You Tingrong was still there.
"Since our ancestors have spoken, I don't care about the rules anymore. I do know some good men." The third aunt then followed the old lady's words.
"It's funny to say that it was originally done for the second young lady, but the second young lady has a lower status, so I never had time to mention it. The eldest lady was taught by the old lady and the madam herself, no matter how picky I think, no one will be dissatisfied.
." The third aunt held the old lady in her arms with a smile.
The old lady felt a little relieved after hearing this. Since it was chosen for You Tingjiao, it wouldn't be too bad after all.
Third Yiniang glanced at You Tingrong, knowing that she had a higher level of vision now, and joked: "Old ancestor, the eldest lady is still here, how can anyone talk about marriage in front of her daughter's family, and she is not afraid of embarrassing the eldest lady!"
You Tingrong became wary and refused to evade, "Third aunt is too worried. Third aunt is willing to work hard for me. I am only grateful."
Third Yiniang knew her concerns, so she simply opened up and said: "If you say they are from a rich and powerful family, I really don't have the ability." She looked at You Tingrong with a calm expression, "But they are definitely from clean families.
With the talent of the eldest lady, the husband and wife will be harmonious in the future, and their lives will definitely be better and better."
You Tingrong chuckled. It seemed that he had listened to You Tingjiao's words and was afraid that she would disturb You Tingjiao's plans to enter the palace, so he was eager to marry her off. However, this was also in line with You Tingrong's wishes. She did not
If you seek wealth and glory, you can only hope to be a legitimate wife and your husband and wife will be happy.
"Then let's consult together." The old lady nodded.
"One is the legitimate son of the school secretary Xue family. Although the Xue family only holds an official position of the ninth rank, he is an errand in the palace after all." The third aunt continued with a smile: "What's even more rare is that the Xue family's family rules
You can only take a concubine when you are forty and have no children, and Mr. Xue is a good trader."
The old lady nodded unconsciously, "Not bad."
Third Yi Niang's smile deepened, "The other one is white, but his family has a small amount of assets. He is engaged in rice and grain business in the capital and has a big house on the outskirts of the capital."
Third Yiniang was afraid that You Tingrong would dislike him, so she added: "This Mr. Zhao is the reincarnation of Wenquxing. He was the leader of the provincial examination at the age of nineteen. He will only take the examination later to add glory to the family!"
The old lady looked at You Tingrong, "Both of them are good, Rong'er, which one do you like more?"
"Which one do you like more?" You Guitai's voice came from the door. He happened to have a rest today and came to say hello to the old lady: "Mother."
Third Yi Niang was a little uncomfortable, but the old lady didn't think too much and said directly: "Third Yi Niang recommended two good families to Rong Er..."
After hearing this, You Guitai's face darkened, and he looked at Third Yiniang with a gloomy look, "Who told you to make your own decisions!"
You Guitai was only over forty, and he finally entered the capital and became a literary official. Although he was thin, he was in good spirits. He had always been gentle to the third aunt, but now that he was involved in the official career, all those tender feelings were thrown away.
The back of my head.
"A ninth-grade official and a commoner? Can this be considered a good family?"
The third aunt's face looked ugly and she could only admit her mistake through gritted teeth, "I have lost my sense of proportion. Master, please don't let your anger break your body."
You Guitai then reluctantly softened his tone and looked at You Tingrong eagerly, "Rong'er's looks, talent and talent make him a good son-in-law!"
"Today, the Chi family just sent their greetings. I was just about to talk to Rong'er." You Guitai's eyes were bright and shining, "Our Rong'er, even the young master of the Shangshu family, is worthy of it. From now on, we will
There is no need to mention people who are not worthy of being on the stage!"
The third aunt was a little anxious. It was not easy for her to make friends with these two candidates. She had many dreams and long nights. If the master knew that You Tingrong had been attracted by the emperor a long time ago, her Jiaojiao would be completely abandoned.
"Sir, the Chi family is a noble family. Even if we climb high, I'm afraid... the eldest lady can only be a concubine..." Although she has ulterior motives, it is rare for the third aunt to think about the eldest lady. Unfortunately, You Guitai has no patience.
listen.
"What do you, a woman, know?" You Guitai interrupted her without hesitation, "The third-rank minister is an important minister in the court! Such a family, let alone a concubine, as long as they can get married, it is a blessing that many people cannot ask for.
!”
You Guitai said to You Tingrong sincerely: "Rong'er, you can't be short-sighted, you have to take a long-term view."
You Tingrong sneered in his heart, lowered his eyes, and nodded in agreement.
His daughter's happiness is not worth mentioning in You Guitai's eyes. As long as it can contribute to his career, he doesn't care who he marries.
Her father only has this ability. Even if he gains power, it will only bring disaster! In this life, he will die in the capital together with his third aunt and his daughter.
————
After that day, Mrs. Chi sent a housekeeper to give You Guitai a heavy gift. She also apologized for canceling the original invitation on the grounds that Chi Qinghuan needed to follow the etiquette nanny to learn the rules.
Although You Guitai was disappointed, he still fell in love with the purple-haired tortoise shell pen sent by the Chi family. The tortoise shell shell was rare, and the gilt craftsmanship of the pen barrel and the fine craftsmanship also comforted him.
He must have valued You Tingrong.
For You Guitai, greater good things are yet to come.
On the day You Tingjiao entered the palace, except for the old lady who was recuperating, everyone in her family followed her.
The third aunt's eyes were red, and she was holding You Tingjiao's hand reluctantly. You Tingjiao's face was also full of sorrow. From then on, she entered the deep palace. If she was not favored, she would never see her again.
Due to the fact that I was only granted the title of "Fengyi", I was not allowed to bring a dowry maid, and the dowry could not exceed a certain amount, otherwise it would be overstepping the rules. No matter how distressed and willing the third aunt was, she could only give three hundred taels in full, and she told her to be careful with her words.
OK, deliver the message promptly.
On the contrary, You Guitai deliberately bought a summer dress for You Tingrong. At this moment, she was wearing a begonia red waist-length skirt with a delicate luster. She had a pair of pearl hairpins inserted diagonally in her bun, and her expression was indifferent.
Comparing the two, You Tingjiao, who originally thought she was the winner, now started to doubt whether the opportunity to enter the palace today was just the leftover leftovers from You Tingrong.
The thought of You Tingrong marrying better in the future made You Tingjiao burst into tears.
The nanny immediately turned cold and said, "You Fengyi, the grace of the Heavenly Family when you enter the palace is an honor for you. On your special day, please don't break the rules by crying!"
You Guitai also became impatient. Before he could speak, a young father-in-law in brown palace clothes quickly walked into the door and shouted loudly:
Chapter completed!
