If you really want to talk about the relationship between Wu Rong and Daliang, you can't finish it in three days and three nights.
When the people of Daliang mention the Wurong people, their first impression is that they are cruel and murderous. They often invaded the territory of Daliang, and the people in the frontier were tortured by them, and their lives were miserable and trembling. Therefore, Daliang people really don't have a good impression of Wu Rong people. Once Wu Rong people wore Hu clothes on the street in the early years, they must beat them first, regardless of the reason. Now the relationship between the two countries has eased, and this kind of situation has become less, but the prejudice of the people in Daliang against Wu Rong is deeply rooted and has not changed.
Ten years ago, Wu Rong and Daliang fought several battles, and they were defeated steadily, and their arrogance gradually subsided. Among them, the one with the most serious casualties was the one when Zhao Jie led his troops out at the age of fifteen. Zhao Jie is good at using troops, his strategies are cunning and changeable, and he is unpredictable. Others can't guess what he will do next. Wu Rong's army was defeated and had no power to fight back. They had to retreat three hundred miles, apologized to Daliang for compensation, and expressed that they would not invade Daliang's land.
After hearing about this battle, the emperor of Wu Rong was deeply impressed by Zhao Jie, and was very afraid of the outstanding boy who was only fifteen years old. Just hearing his name, I couldn't help trembling all over. Now that eight or nine years have passed, Zhao Jie's prestige is still there, and I don't know how the old emperor will react when he sees him.
Sitting in the room of the Fourth Madam, Wei Luo couldn't help being a little proud of what Qin said while drinking Dahongpao.
Zhao Jie is so powerful, of course she feels proud.
It's just that I'm embarrassed to show it, afraid of being laughed at by the fourth lady, so I lowered my head and pretended to drink tea, covering the corners of my upturned mouth.
Qin Shi naturally didn't miss her little thoughts, and poured her a cup of tea again, intending to laugh at her, but suddenly remembered something, and looked worried again. "Ah Luo, it's not like Fourth Aunt doesn't want to see you well, but there are some things that I'm still worried about..."
Wei Luo picked up a piece of candied winter melon from a plate with blue and white twigs and lotus patterns, put it into his mouth, and blinked, "Fourth Aunt, just tell me what you want."
She remembers clearly what Qin has done for her these years. She didn't have a mother, and the fourth aunt did everything a mother should do, and she was sincerely thinking of her. No matter what Qin said, Wei Luo would not have any objections.
Qin frowned together, thought for a long time and said: "You heard what I said just now. Prince Jing's thoughts are deep, complicated and unpredictable. Even Wu Rong, who is cruel by nature, is afraid of him. Fourth aunt is worried that you will marry him. …”
She didn't continue halfway through, but Wei Luo understood what she meant.
Qin's words were rather tactful, in fact, she probably wanted to say that Zhao Jie was cruel and tyrannical, cruel and merciless. She was worried that Wei Luo would be bullied by Zhao Jie in the past when she was married. If the relationship between the two did not get along and there was any dispute, it would be Wei Luo who suffered. After all, Zhao Jie is a big man, not to mention nine years older than her, and he has practiced martial arts in the military camp since he was a child. It is too easy to bully her.
But, is he willing
Wei Luo recalled the scene where he warmed her stomach in the carriage. She lay a pillow on his leg, obviously feeling that he was reacting, but he kept holding back because of her words. Also, when we met Song Hui on the street, Wei Luo was standing next to Zhao Jie, obviously feeling that his aura had changed. He suppressed his anger and did not embarrass her. After sending him home, he said "Don't think about Song Hui". For the sake of her, Wei Luo couldn't find another man who cared about her so much.
It's a pity that I can't tell the Qin family these things. Wei Luo thought about it and smiled, "Don't worry, Fourth Aunt. I heard from Liuli that although Zhao Jie looks a little cold and scary, he has a good heart. And he doesn't bully woman… "
Princess Tianji is Zhao Jie's younger sister, so she will naturally speak for Zhao Jie. Qin didn't feel comforted at all, and wanted to say something more, but the imperial decree came down, this marriage was a certainty, and it was useless to say anything. After thinking about it, she decided to teach Wei Luo some ways to be a husband, at least so that she would not be at a loss after marrying Zhao Jie.
The day before the palace banquet, Erfang Bamboo Garden broke out again.
The only thing that can make the second wife and the second master quarrel is because of Wei Baoshan. Now the Second Madam has listened to everyone's persuasion, she does not have the same knowledge as the Second Master, she just waits for Wei Baoshan to speak casually about a marriage for her when she reaches the age, and then the matter will be exposed. Although there are gaps in the relationship between the two of them, life still has to go on.
Then why are you arguing again this time
When Wei Luo and Qin Shi arrived, they had just reached the door of the main room when they heard the second lady's voice from inside: "What is the occasion for the palace banquet? All the ladies and gentlemen from Shengjing City are there, you let an outer room Women participating in that kind of occasion? Isn't it embarrassing for the British government?"
Qin frowned, obviously thinking that the Second Master's actions were inappropriate.
As soon as the second wife finished speaking, the second master Wei Sheng said: "So I want to discuss with my father to rectify Baoshan's name as soon as possible and let her enter the family tree of the Duke's Mansion..."
The second lady almost fainted out of breath.
Wei Jian just got married, and her sad mood has not yet eased, Wei Sheng made such a request again. In an instant, Song Shi even thought about reconciling with Li!
Even Wei Luo felt that Second Uncle was too confused. Isn't it just an outsider girl, even if she is included in the genealogy of the Duke's mansion, it is very disgraceful. Even the serious ladies and young masters in the mansion look down on her, so what's the point
Wei Luo thought about it, the second master wanted Wei Baoshan to participate in this palace banquet, nothing more than to let her show her face, so that she could find a good marriage for her in the future. It seems that the outer room gave him a lot of ecstasy soup, which made him so confused.
So what if he showed up? An outsider girl who can't be seen in the light, and a noble family with real family background and heritage are all looked down upon. Even if she falls in love with her, she has no chance to be a regular wife. At most, she is an aunt or concubine. It's better to marry an ordinary family honestly, so that she can talk in her in-law's family.
Wei Luo and Qin Shi walked into the main room, and immediately saw Wei Baoshan standing beside him.
Wei Baoshan was wearing a short skirt in white silk and a pink and purple skirt. She was very neatly dressed, which made her more and more delicate and pitiful. She lowered her head, her eyes were red, and when she sensed someone coming in, she only raised her head and then lowered her head again.
The second wife was tired from the noise, and sat in the rosewood armchair beside her to rest.
Qin stepped forward to comfort her, "Miss Jian just left, why did the second uncle and the second uncle's sister-in-law start arguing again? Is there anything we can't talk about, it has to be so ugly."
Speaking of Wei Jian, Song's eyes turned red. After all, it was her own daughter. She had only been married for a few days, and she thought about it badly. "Do you think I want to quarrel? If he hadn't made such a request, how could I..." Then he covered his eyes and stopped talking.
Wei Sheng was also at the beginning, not responding to her words.
Wei Baoshan on the side walked up to Mrs. Song without warning, knelt down with a "plop", and said with tears like rain: "If my wife is angry, please take it out on me... Father did this for me." , if my mother hadn't died of illness, I would have nowhere to go, and my father wouldn't have taken me to the Duke's mansion to hinder your eyes... "
After all, the Song family was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, and was well-educated, and he also had the majesty of the royal family. Wen Yan just wiped the corners of his eyes and stared at her coldly: "Who do you call mother?"
Wei Baoshan was used to calling her "mother" outside, and she never changed her words when she came to the British government. Little do they know that this is a taboo. In a high-ranking family with strict family rules, only the main wife can afford the title "mother".
Wei Baoshan hesitated, and immediately changed his words: "Yes... it is Lin."
Lin is the surname of the second master's concubine.
The second lady didn't want to see her, and she spoke very mercilessly, "The rules are so bad, if you participate in the palace banquet, won't people laugh at our Duke's mansion?"
Wei Baoshan shrank her shoulders and was scolded to remain silent.
However, Mrs. Song just talked about the facts, and what she said was very reasonable, leaving no room for refutation.
Wei Sheng calmed down and thought about it for a while, and thought that Mrs. Song was right, Wei Baoshan's etiquette was indeed not as good as that of a noble lady. If you want to talk about a good marriage, you should strengthen this aspect. His gaze fell on Wei Luo, and he suddenly had an idea: "Ah Luo has the best etiquette and manners. I heard that your parents often praise you, why don't you teach Baoshan?"
Wei Luo was originally just watching the fun, but unexpectedly the topic would suddenly turn to her, she was stunned, and refused, "I'm going to Mr. Xue and Mrs. Han's class, I don't have much time..."
Even the Qin family disagreed, "Ah Luo is busy getting married, so Second Uncle shouldn't cause her any trouble."
Wei Sheng did not give up and continued to persuade. In the end, seeing that Qin's attitude was firm, he had no choice but to give up the idea.
Of course, the Qin family would not let Wei Luo stir up this muddy water, so Wei Baoshan had a lot of good intentions at first glance, and she didn't want Wei Luo to have too much contact with her.
Finally, when she came out of the bamboo garden, even a well-mannered and educated woman like the Qin family had to frown and said, "Second Uncle really gets more and more confused the more he lives."
Wei Luo followed beside him without any rebuttal.
In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of September, and Emperor Chongzhen hosted a banquet in honor of Emperor Wu Rong on this day.
The palace banquet was held in the Ronghua Hall next to the Taiye Pond. There were a total of 108 tables in the hall, and the scene was quite grand. It can be seen that Emperor Chongzhen attached great importance to this diplomatic relationship. After all, this negotiation is related to the stability of the border people and even the entire Daliang in the next few decades.
Wei Luo entered the palace with her family. Today she was wearing a pink flowered short skirt and a lake green high-waisted skirt. She was not very well dressed. Because of this kind of thing, the big guys are well aware that the two countries have diplomatic relations, what else is possible other than marriage
Shoot the head bird, whoever wants to go will go.
