Nangong Yue looked tenderly at Xiaoju, who was nestling on Xiao Fei's lap, letting her smooth her hair, and said, "Queer, pass on my words. Aunt Fang's maid acted recklessly, failed to persuade her master well, and even offended the guest." , a fine of three months' monthly money, and ten boards."
Que'er promised, and withdrew to spread the message.
Not long after, Zhou Roujia walked in holding a vase, and the gorgeous camellias were set off by the elegant white porcelain vase even more delicately. Xiaoju, who was lying on Xiao Fei's lap, raised her head and called "meow meow" at her, very affectionately.
Zhou Roujia handed the vase to the maid, walked up to Xiao Fei, and touched Xiaoju's chin just like her.
The Zhou Mansion didn't have a cat, so she didn't know that this little guy was so soft to the touch, it melted her heart.
"Meow!"
Amid Xiaoju's tender cry, Zhou Roujia and Xiao Fei smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
Que'er, who just went to pass on the message, came back soon, quietly walked to Nangong Yue and whispered in his ear: "Concubine Fang, Aunt Fang cried and said she was going to sue the prince."
Aunt Fang is the aunt of King Zhennan. As a daughter-in-law, Nangong Yue can't punish her at will, but just punishing the two maids around her is enough to make her ashamed. Aunt Fang had just entered the house, and because her surname was Fang, the aunts and servants in the mansion were more or less afraid. Such a slap in the face made her status in the mansion no longer so "detached".
Nangong Yue smiled lightly and ignored it.
Looking at the side concubine Wei, one can tell that the King of Zhennan does not like to serve a pampered and delicate woman. If Aunt Fang wanted to file a complaint, she would only be making fun of herself. What's more, no matter how foolish Zhennan Wang is, he would not be able to shame himself, the concubine, for an aunt.
On this day, Zhou Roujia returned to Zhou Mansion after having lunch in Bixiao Hall.
Nangong Yue took a white jade bracelet and put it on her Hao wrist.
When Zhou Roujia came, she was full of apprehension and uneasiness about the future, but when she went back, she looked at the white jade bracelet on her wrist with a comfortable smile on her lips.
On the same day, Nangong Yue informed Zhennan Wang, and after Zhennan Wang called Xiao Luan to ask him what he meant, he agreed to the marriage.
Early the next morning, she went to General Yao's mansion in person, invited Mrs. Yao as a matchmaker, and proposed marriage to Zhou Roujia, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, for Xiao Luan, and entrusted Xiao Luan's Geng Tie to her.
Mrs. Yao was very surprised. Of course, she had heard about the incident that happened during the Zhennan King's birthday banquet. She thought that with the status of the Zhou family, the Second Young Master Xiao would at most accept Miss Zhou as his concubine. She was still a little embarrassed because she didn't expect that she was going to be hired as a wife.
No matter what, Mrs. Yao readily agreed. After seeing off Nangong Yue, she prepared a gift and went to the Zhou Mansion to formally propose marriage to the Wang family.
It wasn't until Mrs. Yao clearly expressed her willingness to engage and marry, and handed over Xiao Luan's Geng Tie, that Wang's heart that had been hanging high was finally relieved. Zhou Roujia's prepared post was handed over to Mrs. Yao.
After exchanging Geng Tie, if nothing unexpected happens, the marriage between the two parties is officially settled.
The next step is to take the Geng Tie to combine the horoscopes and perform the Naji ceremony.
The result of the horoscope is of course a destiny.
Nangong Yue ordered to add an extra meat dish to the servants of the Hefu to show how much they valued this marriage.
The palace was beaming with joy.
Therefore, when Ming Mou went to the big kitchen to deliver the meal, she learned about it from all kinds of joyful discussions. Fang reported the matter.
Xiao Fang was stunned immediately, her lips moved slightly, and she murmured: "She dares... how dare she dare!"
Xiao Fang's family has also been in the palace for more than ten years, so she naturally knows all about the rich and powerful families in Luoyue City.
General Dingyuan is only a fourth-rank military officer, and he has no military power. The status of generals is all determined by military merit. General Dingyuan has never been on the battlefield, so where does he get his military merit? It's just an idle family enjoying the kindness of their ancestors. How could such a family be worthy of her son? !
Her Brother Luan will be the King of Zhennan in the future!
"This bitch!" Xiao Fang yelled, "How dare she humiliate my Brother Luan like this! I want to see the lord, I want to see the lord!"
Xiao Fang rushed out angrily, but before she could step out of the door, two women stopped in front of her. Their attitudes were very respectful, and their tone was very respectful. Even though Xiao Fang yelled and cursed and pushed and shoved, he just laughed and didn't take half a step back.
All the servants in the whole courtyard were changed by the concubine Shizi in the name of not serving them well. It was not easy for the madam to go out. Mingmu and Mingyue had more or less guessed the result, but they were still not reconciled. After all, Madam is the hostess of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, maybe those servants dare not stop her... But now it seems that Madam is just asking for shame.
Nanny Qi hurried forward, comforting her while coaxing her: "Madam, don't care about those slaves."
Ming Mou and Ming Yue also came back to their senses, reprimanded: "Who taught you the rules, how dare you be rude to Madam."
There were flattering smiles on the faces of the two women, but just like the two door gods, they did not move a step.
Xiao Fang felt a dull pain in his chest with anger, and his face turned blue and white.
Nanny Qi half-delayed and brought Xiao Fang back to the house, and quickly closed the door with her bright eyes.
"Ma'am, why don't you call the Second Young Master here." Nanny Qi looked at the little Fang Shi who was the eldest of her breasts distressedly, and couldn't help suggesting from the side, "Let the Second Young Master and the prince talk about it, the second young master belongs to the prince after all. Concubine, as long as he is unwilling, the prince will not force it."
Zhennan King punished Xiao Fang's feet, but did not restrict her children from visiting. Therefore, Xiao Fang could not go out, but he could call Xiao Luan over.
Now there is no other way.
Xiao Fang was stunned for a long time, finally nodded and sent Nanny Qi to do it.
Soon, Xiao Luan who was dozing off in the academy was called over.
The gate of the main courtyard was tightly closed, but not long after, Nangong Yue got the report, and heard Que'er say vividly: "... Concubine Shizi, after Madam called the second son over, she cursed at you, saying that you are uneasy and kind, in order not to Let him affect the status of the eldest son of the world, so he deliberately chose a dilapidated household for him, and asked the second son to go to the prince's place and reject this marriage. The wife also kept saying that if the second son took a fancy to Miss Zhou, he would keep it. It's all right for her to be a concubine, and the main wife can't play tricks. With his status as the second son of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, it is not a problem to be a princess!" Speaking of this, Que'er deliberately played tricks, and asked with a smile: " Concubine Shizi, do you know how the Second Young Master returned?"
Nangong Yue listened with great interest, and said with a smile, "Tell me about it."
The other maids in the room also urged Que'er to continue with their eyes expectantly.
Que'er frowned and said: "...Second Young Master said that he thinks Eldest Miss Zhou is pretty good, and with Eldest Miss Zhou around, Xiao Hui is willing to let him get close, and maybe he will let him touch her in the future."
Nangong Yue let out a "puchi" chuckle.
Several maidservants let out laughter like silver bells.
Que'er, who accompanied Zhou Roujia to the garden to cut camellia that day, came back and said that Xiao Hui flew to the branch and looked at Miss Zhou for a long time, and Xiao Luan happened to be there at that time, which made him happy for a long time.
Hua Mei pursed her lips and smiled, "Second Young Master is really interesting."
"That's not it." Que'er echoed, "Madam was so angry that she cried out that she had chest pains, so she picked up the cup and threw it at the Second Young Master. The Second Young Master couldn't escape being hit several times. It's making a fuss."
No matter how much Xiao Fang makes trouble, she cannot protect herself now, and it is also difficult for her to dictate Xiao Luan's marriage.
Xiao Luan's marriage was still proceeding step by step according to the "three letters and six rituals".
After Najib ceremony was completed, Nangong Yue picked an auspicious day - the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and would go to the Zhou Mansion to make a small ceremony on that day.
There is only a little more than a month, and many things need to be prepared one by one.
After a few more days, the first batch of medicine was prepared.
Because of receiving so many medicines, it would be a waste of time to prepare them together before sending them to Daying, so Nangong Yue and various pharmacies agreed to make a batch of 10,000 pills and deliver them in batches.
Knowing that the medicine was prepared, Nangong Yue personally went to three pharmacies to receive the goods.
This time, she went out in a Zhulun cart, and every time she went to a shop, the boss and her companions greeted her outside.
Rejuvenation Hall, Deji Hall…
Nangong Yue inspected the goods one by one, and stayed in each pharmacy for a full hour, and finally arrived at Lijia pharmacy.
