Chapter 113: The Dowry

Princess Heyang did not choose a concubine when she was 18 years old, not only because of her bad reputation, but also because of her disdain for those so-called young talents. , not to mention those who can become her consort, according to her words, even those who are not comparable to this princess, still want to marry this princess? Don't be killed by her on the night of the bridal chamber

Asshole, get away.

Princess Heyang was raised as a daughter by his elder brother, and the queen at that time had to let her, not to mention discipline, the headache and helplessness of being an elder brother, could it be possible to make her sister like this for a lifetime?

Later, he and the Northern Huns suddenly proposed to marry the princess of the Qiyuan Dynasty as the queen and establish friendly relations. In the eyes of the Qiyuan Dynasty, the Northern Huns were the land of barbarians. Ru Mao, to go to such a place to suffer, there is no reason for the princess princess of the royal family. Originally, she had already prepared the girl who chose the minister's family, and the princess Jiafeng went to have a kiss. I never thought, Princess Heyang took the initiative to stand up.

It must be said that even if Princess Heyang stayed in the Qiyuan Dynasty and acted recklessly, her elder brother was in front of her, and after her brother died, her nephew was still in the bag, and others had no choice but to take her. Her royal brother firmly disagreed, not knowing what Princess Heyang said to him, he was relieved.

The courtiers who originally had a very bad sense of her changed their attitude in an instant. A princess who can sacrifice herself for the sake of the country, no matter how bad she is in other aspects, is worthy of respect.

Princess Heyang, who was dressed in Chinese clothes, looked back at the capital, her eyes were shining, her lips were hooked, her aura was full, and she was not originally a stunning face, but in an instant she burst into the most dazzling charm. At that moment, everyone felt that it was not the princess who went to the North Xiongnu to be with her, but the king who went to conquer that land. All the officials and the common people knelt down.

Princess Heyang may not have been accepted in the Qiyuan Dynasty, but she was very popular in the North Huns. She made all the North Huns seem obsessed and crazy. When Princess Heyang was in Qiyuan, she dared to raise her face blatantly. Naturally Not caring about entanglement with this group of Northern Huns, even if the Northern Huns were angry, he was reluctant to kill her.

Princess Heyang played them with applause and provoked them to fight, and the North Huns, the man who justly occupied her, naturally bore the brunt of the public enemy. Several of his sons joined forces to kill him, so the North Huns fell into In the battle for royal power, Princess Heyang only said a word, this princess only surrendered to the strongest man, and then watched them fight to the death. There was a result just now, but Qi Yuan sent troops at this time.

The new King of the Northern Huns was furious and wanted to kill Princess Heyang, but Princess Heyang smiled nonchalantly.

The King of the North Huns grabbed her tightly, the blade pressed against her neck, blood oozing from her skin, but Princess Heyang was still in the mood to tease him, "There is a saying in Qiyuan, 'Marrying a chicken follows a chicken, marrying a dog' Suigou', since this princess is married to the Northern Huns, she is naturally a member of the Northern Huns, whether the king wants to kill or slash, this princess will listen to you."

These words dispelled the murderous intention of the King of the North Huns. After showing his beastly desire, he took Princess Heyang to the expedition. Then, at the critical moment of the war, Princess Heyang beheaded the King of the North Huns.

In that battle, Qiyuan naturally won a great victory, and even almost destroyed the Northern Huns. However, it is a pity that the Northern Huns are all martial, brave and good at fighting, and it is very difficult to destroy them. The Northern Xiongnu suffered heavy losses. It can be said that it was the biggest victory against the Northern Xiongnu for hundreds of years, including the previous dynasty. Into the annals of history, let later generations sing praises for it.

However, everyone in the world thought that Princess Heyang died at the hands of those generals after beheading the King of the Northern Huns. In short, there was no more news from her, but they didn't think that this princess not only lived well, but returned to Qiyuan not to mention, but also Have a good time. If Yunniang is really Princess Heyang, then she can defend the Rouge Pavilion and no one dares to move. It is only natural. Her backer is indeed Emperor Lecheng, but this relationship is completely different from what Jingwan thought before. Dare to do something to the Rouge Pavilion, and it will definitely be chopped by Emperor Lecheng.

Of course, in the official history of Qiyuan, only the achievements of Princess Heyang will be recorded, while her romantic and glamorous history will appear in Unofficial History and many other words. fuck her

Good morning, my little wife.

This woman is a legend.

"Princess Heyang should be in her fifties, approaching sixty, but Yunniang looked at her in her early forties."

"So the slaves are just guessing, not sure." However, it is absolutely impossible for the prince to make mistakes. Since he said that the owner of the Rouge Pavilion is the Princess Heyang of the past, then he is absolutely not wrong. I just didn't expect that the girl would run into her shortly after she went there. No matter how many people deliberately tried to find her, they couldn't find her.

"Then why do you think Yunniang is Princess Heyang?"

"The slaves have accidentally seen the portrait of Princess Heyang in the palace, which is very similar to Yunniang."

Jingwan glanced at Mama Gong. This kind of portrait should not be seen by anyone, right? When Mama Gong was in the palace, she should not be the kind of aunt who has very little power, right? However, Mammy Gong knows how to punch and kick. Who is the average court aunt who knows these things? Mammy Gong shouldn't... Jing Wan coughed lightly, dispelling those messy thoughts.

"If this is the case, the possibility of Mammy's guess is very high."

"Then what does the girl want in the future?"

"Naturally it's how it should be, just don't know it. Besides, the first time I went back, I basically got things done. I'm not interested in the Rouge Pavilion. will be small

Bar. "

Gong mama nodded, the girl's current situation is not very good, it is not a good thing to provoke Princess Heyang again, even if it is a dangerous person like the prince.

While Jingwan was talking to Mama Gong, there were rumors that three girls in the house did not want to see the elder sister-in-law.

"...The last time the third girl gave other girls the grease, it doesn't matter if we don't have the share of our eldest young grandmother. This time, except for the younger girls, all the ladies above have a share, even the married aunts and grandmothers have them. Du Du, our eldest young lady has nothing to do with the fourth girl. The third girl has always been at odds with the fourth girl. It is understandable not to give the fourth girl something. What is going on with our eldest young lady here? See you? When the three girls came to Beijing with the old lady, the first young lady gave them a gift. It was a bracelet worth more than a thousand taels. It was really a gift..."

"What did you say?" When Luo Jingde came back, he heard the maids grumbling and frowning slightly.

The maids were startled and hurriedly greeted them, "Eldest young master."

"Go to work, chew your tongue around here."

"Yes." The maids hurriedly dispersed.

Luo Jingde entered the room and saw his wife who was pregnant with Liujia leaning on the big pillow, feeling a little unhappy, "What's the matter?" He stepped forward, sat down beside her, and carefully patted her belly, "Child Are you making trouble again?"

"No..." Xiao Wang also said that he didn't get rouge gouache.

"You still have that little thing missing?" Luo Jingde was quite speechless.

"Is it just a matter of ordering something?" Mrs. Wang raised her voice a little higher, "Except for the little one, I don't have the fourth sister or me. Could it be that I am the same as the fourth sister to dislike her? People still don't know how to arrange me. , saying that I must have done something bad to offend her, and I don't bear such a reputation."

"Don't be excited, don't be excited," Luo Jingde hurriedly reassured her, in this way, it's not what he thought he didn't need to care about it, "I know a little bit about the third sister, except for the fourth sister, I don't care about it. See who she has targeted, you have been raising babies all the time, and you haven't met her a few times. Naturally, there can't be any grudges. There may be some misunderstandings in the middle, or the reasons we don't know, don't worry, wait I'll go and ask about the floating color."

"Ask? How do you ask? You go to the door, and maybe people will think that I have shallow eyelids, and I'm just staring at her."

"You're stupid, I naturally ask the third brother to ask, it's hard to go by myself."

"Forget it, the third brother will get married the day after tomorrow and is busy. It's hard to trouble him with this trivial matter. Don't worry about it, I will find a way to figure it out myself."

"It's all up to you, just pay attention to yourself, don't get angry, what should you do if you hurt your child."

"Don't worry, I'm not really angry."

The husband and wife just said something else, but the atmosphere soon eased down.

So, this matter, probably everyone except the people in the second room knew about it.

After Mrs. Luo heard about it, "Wanwan has always been meticulous and thoughtful in her work, and she will not be confused in this matter. There must be her reasons. When I greet her tomorrow, I will find out by asking her. It is strictly forbidden to spread this matter again, whoever dares to chew his tongue again will be severely punished."

When the old lady speaks, naturally no one dares to say anything, but many people are muttering in their hearts, the old lady will protect the three girls in everything.

So, when Jingwan greeted her the next day, she rarely saw the sister-in-law in the hall. She saw that her belly was getting bigger. Although she knew that she was not in a good condition, she looked a little scared, but there is such a thing as a small life. It's still worth being happy, Jingwan couldn't help laughing, stepped forward directly, and asked a few questions carefully.

Xiao Wang was puzzled in his heart, and he didn't seem to have an opinion on himself. The so-called don't slap the smiling face, even if Xiao Wang still has a lump in his heart, what Jingwan asks at this moment is basically answerable.

In fact, most people wonder about this.

Mrs. Luo called Jingwan to her side, said a few words, and then asked directly, "Yesterday you delivered things everywhere, why didn't your sister-in-law have it?"

"Isn't sister-in-law pregnant?" Jingwan blurted out without thinking.

Mrs. Luo's blunt words were surprising, and Jing Wan's answer was even more surprising, what does this have to do with pregnancy.

"What's wrong with pregnancy, you don't have to wear makeup when you're pregnant?"

It's common sense that you can't wear makeup when you're pregnant! Well, Jingwan suddenly realized that this was common sense in her previous life, not here, and she finally knew why when she came in, the look of the lady in the hall was not right. Jingwan wanted to cover her face, as if she didn't know what to do. I made a low-level mistake when I was careful, why didn't Mama Gong remind herself? However, because it was not easy to explain, Jingwan decided to play dumb and be stunned. "Aren't pregnant people not allowed to wear makeup?" He asked in confusion.

This time, there was more than one person who cared about her words. "Wanwan, you can't wear makeup when you're pregnant, who said that?"

Jing Wan frowned and pondered, "I don't think I heard it from anyone, but which book should I read it? Isn't that the case? I thought everyone knew about it."

"Wanwan, tell grandma, where did you read it, what book?"

"Grandmother, this embarrassed me. You know, when I was in Qi'an Mansion a few years ago, I read a lot of books, and they were very complicated. Some things I thought were well-known, just glanced at them. I don't remember what book [Comprehensive] Red Queen. I don't remember when I read it."

"You're right." When I was in Qi'an Mansion, except for those books that were absolutely forbidden to the girl's family, there really wasn't much else.

Have you ever controlled Jing Wan? "Wanwan, do you still remember why pregnant people can't wear makeup?"

Needless to say, Xiao Wang has a great-grandson in her belly, and Mrs. Luo naturally values ​​it very much. As for Wang and Xiao Wang, needless to say, they value this child very much, and she can't stop looking at Xiang Jing. Wan.

"It seems that the main thing is that there is something in the makeup powder that is not good for people. Most people are fine. Pregnant people are exposed to a lot, which may affect the child in the belly. And other things, I don't know if they have the same effect. That's why I didn't dare to send it to my sister-in-law at all." Jingwan glanced at Xiao Wang, and covered her face with her hands in horror, "I just thought it was my sister-in-law that I put on a little makeup when I went out, and I washed it when I got back. Now, I occasionally saw my sister-in-law before, but I didn't pay too much attention." Looking at Mrs. Luo again, "Grandma, am I worrying too much?"

"No, Wanwan, the so-called "I would rather believe it or not. I can't say that it really happened."

Mrs. Wang herself was busy getting up. Mrs. Wang subconsciously reached out to support her. She was really in a hurry at the moment, and she couldn't care so much, so she personally helped Mrs. Wang to wash her face.

When Mrs. Wang washed her face and came out, Mrs. Luo's face turned dark, "Daughter-in-law Jingde, how much makeup powder do you use on weekdays?" Mrs. Wang had put on makeup before, and her face looked pretty good, but in fact, After washing, the complexion was pale and pale, and there was no blood.

Not to mention Mrs. Luo, even Mrs. Wang, who sees her daughter-in-law every day, only thinks that she looks good. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid she's wearing makeup at any time. If it's really like what the three girls said, wouldn't it be...

"Grandmother, grandmother, I..." Xiao Wang almost burst into tears. Before she got pregnant, she used makeup powder too much. After she became pregnant, the situation was not very good, and her complexion was even worse. She thought, if every day She looks like this, who knows whether she will be pityed or rejected. Although her husband is still a cousin, he is always surrounded by beautiful maidservants who serve him thoughtfully, and she looks like this... So, this makeup The powder is used more, except for sleeping at night, and there is no shortage of it on the face at any time. It is not because of this that it harms the child in the stomach.

Seeing that Xiao Wang's was not right, Jingwan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I don't know if this is the reason, maybe it's not the case at all, maybe you're in a hurry, maybe Instead, I startled the child, don't worry, don't worry." Jing Wan patted her on the back gently.

Xiao Wang took a few breaths and slowly stabilized, but held Jing Wan's hand tightly, "Third sister, tell me, what would happen if it was really caused by the makeup powder?"

"This..." Jingwan really doesn't know what happens to pregnant women with lead poisoning, but it's nothing more than premature birth and slippery fetus, which can lead to stunted growth of the child, and may cause deformity in severe cases. However, Xiao Wang's only ingested it through makeup powder. It shouldn't be that serious. "Sister-in-law, I don't know. However, it's so far, it's useless if you think about it too much. Besides, no one is sure if it's really caused by putting on makeup, why not? Be lenient and stop those things for a while. If it is really caused by this thing, if it stops, it should be fine. If not, there is nothing in the way. You can keep it at ease. Don't let your mood be caused by my words. Uneasy, it was actually nothing to do, but... Then am I not guilty?"

Mrs. Luo's face also slowed down, "Wan Wan is right, don't think too much about it."

In fact, Wang Shi was also a little anxious, but no one had heard of this before, so it's not that Xiao Wang was to blame. The main reason was that she covered her face with makeup every day, which made her think that Xiao Wang was even from time to time. It's not particularly bad to ask the doctor to take medicine, but who knows, his face is so bad. Now is really not the time to say anything, so he opened his mouth to comfort Xiao Wang.

"Third sister, I'm sorry, the rouge gouache yesterday, the sister-in-law alone didn't get it (the other one was naturally ignored, and it didn't show up today, even Liu Shi couldn't say anything to Jingwan), I thought that How did the sister-in-law recruit you to be unwelcome, but you don't want to, the third sister is for my good, the sister-in-law is a villain's heart and a gentleman's belly, and I also ask the third sister to forgive me, don't be like the sister-in-law who knows the tycoon to monopolize the little wife." Restored The calm little Wang family is still the well-bred lady.

Jingwan smiled indifferently, "It's human nature, I'd have to think more about it for me, and I'd say I didn't think it through."

"You can't blame the third girl for this. You are still a girl, and your sister-in-law is pregnant. It's like asking you to think carefully about everything." Wang Shi said with a smile.

Jing Wan also "sorry" pursed her lips and smiled.

"Daughter-in-law Jingde, let's go back and rest first. Today's house is busy, you should pay attention to yourself, but if there is anything, you must not hide it, you know?"

"It's grandmother, grandson-in-law remembers it."

After Mrs. Wang left, Mrs. Luo did not talk about the business of the day, "In a short while, there will probably be guests coming to the door, be sure to entertain them well, and make no mistakes. Come here, there will be a lot of valuables, and the dowry is one thing, you must guard it, if you get out of that shallow eyelids and steal something, our Luo family's face can be considered as a complete loss."

"Mother, don't worry, what should be arranged, the daughter-in-law has already arranged it, and there will be no mistakes." Wang said.

"Well, I don't worry about your work." Mrs. Luo said, and glanced at Mrs. Zhang.

Rao is Mrs. Zhang, and she couldn't help being hot-skinned. She married a daughter-in-law, but there were not many things that she really did. Most of them were arranged by Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Luo didn't expect anything from her for a long time. If she was to be counted on, the marriage would not be completed yet.

What is it.

Afterwards, Mrs. Luo let them go and hurried back to have breakfast, including Wang Shi, who didn't have to stay to serve her. Of course, Jingwan was still excluded. Her daily breakfast was basically at Mrs. Luo. Eat here.

It is necessary to talk about makeup powder again, "If it is really because of this reason, in the future, when this child is born, I have to thank you aunt."

"Why do you need to thank me, that's why it's numerology like this."

"You, you don't want to take credit for anything."

It was Jingwan who thought she could not afford a life.

As Mrs. Luo said, guests came one after another, but today, they are basically close relatives, such as some clan members of the Luo family who also live in the capital, married aunts, and several daughters-in-law's parents. People, of course, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Liu's parents are not in the capital, and Luo Jingbo's marriage is too fast, so the Zhang family can't make it. Although they went to Xin'er, this person and this ceremony will only take a while. arrive.

There were too many people, and Jingwan couldn't be lazy anymore, and came out to help entertain the little girls.

It is said that Yuan Qiaoqiao broke her leg after a hundred days, and she also came here because of her old mother.

"If you come out to join in the fun like this, can't you stop?" Jingwan wanted to poke her.

"People are getting bored at home. You are all busy, and you don't have time to come and see me. Naturally, I have to come out to see such a lively thing. You don't even know. How long has it been. Look, you can see Ying Shuang tomorrow, but according to her grandmother's relationship with Mrs. Sun, she should go directly to Dingguo Gongfu, and then come to Luojia Nongmen's sick husband's wife in the name of sending relatives ."

"Well, I heard her eyes are looking good, but I'm really busy, so I didn't have time to see her again."

"We know what's going on with you, so don't worry about it, but unfortunately, I couldn't hear you play the piano. I heard that you have an amazing song and you're out of the limelight."

"There is a price to be paid for being in the limelight." Jing Wan thought of her current situation, alas, she has to face this troublesome reality even if she doesn't care.

Yuan Qiaoqiao is not very clear about the reason, but she couldn't help covering her mouth. "However, Yijia's final marriage was really unexpected. She actually married her cousin. You probably don't know that cousin Jingbo is very popular. If nothing else, it's that one and her mother. I didn't miss Cousin Jingbo's idea."

Jingwan followed the direction Yuan Qiaoqiao pointed quietly, Jiang Lingshan from the second aunt's house was very close to Luo Jingying.

"But at that time, my grandmother was not there, and the second aunt and your mother were not the same way, so you couldn't talk about it at all. I heard from my mother that the second aunt was so angry with your mother several times that she turned her head down, but she gave birth to your mother. She didn't have that self-awareness at all. She wanted to go to her aunt. However, her grandfather didn't say anything, and your parents didn't ask your aunt to see her. She could only work in vain. Well, what's the result..." Yuan Qiaoqiao smiled even more happily, and it was not too obvious to gloat in misfortune. "Especially after cousin Jingbo's picture of the Hundred Birds Chaofeng was published, she was afraid that she would like to strangle Yijia to death. In her eyes, if there is no Yijia, the glory should be hers."

Jingwan had no choice but to smile, Jiang Lingshan thought it was beautiful. However, Jingwan is a little strange, "She wants to marry my brother, why did she not want to please me when she first saw me, and she still wanted to plot against me?"

"Who knows, probably thinks that you're 'little sister-in-law' is not important at all."

"That's right. After all, I haven't seen my third brother for a few years. In her opinion, I probably have no feelings for the third brother, let alone affect the third brother." If such a person wants to marry her brother, no Said to try to dismantle it, and she would never give her brother the education of "three obediences and four virtues".

"However, I saw that the fourth cousin lost a lot of weight. Is it really sick?"

"Otherwise what do you think?"

"It's fine if you don't tell me, I don't believe it anyway."

Seeing Yuan Qiaoqiao and Jing Wan talking and laughing, made many people feel so jealous. They actually all wanted to talk to Jing Wan, but it seemed very rude to intervene like this. Jiang Lingshan almost had the same thought. She was not qualified to go to the eldest princess' mansion, but basically all the officials in the capital knew about Jingwan's affairs. Although a Sun Yijia was of little value, she still knew more nobles. If you can use her to climb up to those nobles...

"You better stop daydreaming." Luo Jingying seemed to see what she was thinking, and leaned closer to Jiang Lingshan's ear, "We, the third girl of the Luo family, are very narrow-minded, but if you leave a little bad impression on her, don't do it. I hope to have friendship with her again, not to mention, the thing she hates the most is me. Do you think that you who are 'friends' with me can get her goodwill? In her eyes, we are probably a nest of snakes and rats, and a raccoon dog on a hill. ."

Jiang Lingshan's eyes poked at Luo Jingying like a knife.

Luo Jingying still had a light smile, and Jiang Lingshan's eyes seemed to not notice her at all. It should be said that Luo Jingying has been trained by Liu's for so many years, and it is still very effective. It is only when she encounters Jingwan that it is easier to lose control. Moreover, after the "special training" during this period of time, she is known for her concentration. Originally, it was a little lower than Jiang Lingshan, but now it is almost equal.

Jiang Lingshan's gaze also lasted for two or three breaths, and she also laughed with nothing at all. The intimacy between the two of them without any barriers, I really thought that their relationship was very good.

Jing Wan, who saw all the actions of the two of her, did not pre-evaluate at all.

Jingwan also knew that Yuan Qiaoqiao was deliberately pulling herself to talk to prevent others from intervening, but

Who let her be a patient, she naturally took more care of them. Seeing that they were not left out in the cold, she let Yuan Qiaoqiao's behavior go.

After lunch, with the passage of time, the gongs and drums outside, the main event of the day finally began.

One by one, they shouted "Come, come," and then, the first to carry the red dowry into the gate of Luo's house, and then the second to carry. According to the general regulations, the front should be real estate and land. Sun Yijia was born in a noble family, and her dowry included gifts from the palace. Therefore, the two heads turned into a huge coral tree that was dazzling red, and the twelve handles were all carved from fine jade. Yu Ruyi. Just these two things are enough to make people tut tut, or just say some sour words.

Thirdly, he lifted the tile with the word "Happy" on it and folded it up high, making people take a deep breath. How much real estate is this dowry? Take a look at the adobe next to it, wrapped in colored paper, the heavy weight seems to be so heavy that the people who lift it up are struggling. How many are there?

Before the surprise was over, the large furniture behind were also carried in one by one, six double-sided embroidered screens, four glazed screens, and then the Bubu bed, Arhat bed, beauty couch, dressing table, and piano table at the back. , desks, various cases, top boxes and vertical cabinets, bookcases, Duobao grids, even three horizontal cabinets, pairs of boxes, various seats, and so on, all appear in pairs, that is, a complete set of red sandalwood Yes, a whole set of golden nanmu, two mahogany, rosewood, rosewood, camphor wood and other wood products are not rare. These pieces of furniture also make people tremble again.

Then there were all kinds of ornaments, large and small, from large vases that were taller than a person, to cups, bowls and saucers.

Then followed by a complete set of cosmetic products, each piece is exquisite, bedding, top materials, exquisite embroidery. More than not mentioning curtains, curtains, etc.

Then there are whole boxes of furs, materials, and boxes that are already enlarged, so full that they can't be stuffed with a finger.

Then there are all kinds of jewelry. There are twelve full sets of head and face alone. Each set is less than twelve pieces, and more than twenty pieces. All made of gold. There are also those in jewelry boxes. If you look at it, there are more than 30 boxes, which are full, such as necklaces, bracelets, necklaces, and cat's eye agate. You may only think that there is nothing in them.

Then came the antique calligraphy and painting. The most special thing was probably the flat and long brocade box that was taken out separately to make a lift. Everyone speculated that it should be the dowry gift given by Luo Jingbo. Porcelain playthings are simply too numerous to count, and calligraphy and paintings are rolled up, so you can't see what they are, but they are definitely not bad.

There are more than a dozen boxes of books and a few boxes of the Four Treasures of the Study.

The spice and medicinal materials are next to each other, such as ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, snow lotus, ganoderma lucidum, and so on. The boxes are boxed, and you can see that none of them are defective.

There are a total of 128 lifts, and they are all real. Even if it is dismantled into 256 lifts, it is more than enough. It can be imagined that when all these things are carried into the courtyard of the new house, it is How spectacular, let alone reach out and touch, there is no place to go in and foot.

When Jingwan saw the dowry that was posted, she seemed to have met another big local tyrant.
