"What does the princess mean?" King Rui looked at Princess Rui and asked.
Princess Rui said, "Without rules, there is nothing perfect. Although the Xu family loves women, they are not honest." Princess Rui said softly, "For the dowry of the three of Shen Zi and the others, each of them took out 10,000 taels and shared 50,000." Two to buy a dowry for Jin girl, 10,000 taels is not included in the dowry bill, and it will be used as private money for her."
King Rui didn't speak when he heard the words.
Princess Rui said, "Before they get married, they will all be conferred the title of Princess Princess, and the palace will arrange dowry matters for them. However, because the palace cherishes the fact that these children are not as comfortable as they are at home after marriage, they have added more money to them. They, the prince also knows the reputation of Uncle Yongning, girl Jin..."
"Just as the princess said." King Rui also thought of these things, and also thought of the things Shen Jin made for him. Shen Jin was the first daughter who made things for him by herself. Thinking about those fan bags, belts and socks, he couldn't help feeling a little bit My heart softened.
Princess Rui continued, "Mr. Xu also has to be punished, but because she gave birth to Brother Hao, it's not easy to punish her explicitly."
"I'll leave everything in the backyard to you." King Rui said indifferently.
Princess Rui said softly, "Well, let her stay in her own courtyard for these three months."
"En." King Rui responded directly.
Princess Rui said, "My lord, please don't be soft-hearted, it's over."
"Don't worry." Although King Rui likes Mrs. Xu more, he just likes him more. Mrs. Xu has been with him for a long time and has some affection, but after all, he is not young anymore, and there are many new ones in the mansion, who will not set foot in three months Xu's is there.
"There is also the marriage of the second girl." Princess Rui said, "If the imperial decree of Jin girl's marriage comes down, it may not be good for the second girl to go out before it is decided. Some people will gossip about the prince, and the second girl will talk about marriage in the future... the prince It’s because I feel sorry for the second girl, but outsiders don’t know.”
King Rui frowned and said nothing.
Princess Rui got up and went to get a list, "This list is full of people who are interested in the second girl. I thought that the second girl was young, so I asked slowly, but now I can't wait that long."
King Rui took the list, and there were five names on it, followed by family background and ranking. After thinking for a while, he got up and went to the desk to erase two names, and now there are three left. "Choose one of these three."
"Then why not call Mrs. Xu?" Princess Rui said.
"It's fine for the princess to decide." King Rui said.
Princess Rui said, "After all, it's the second girl's lifelong event, and I'm really in a hurry. The second girl is so brilliant, and now it's a grievance."
"Okay." King Rui saw that Princess Rui's thoughts were all right, and he felt more and more that Mrs. Xu, who could only cry, would not be able to get on the stage.
Princess Rui immediately asked Cuixi to call Mrs. Xu. In fact, Mrs. Xu had just returned not long ago, so she had to dress up and rushed over. If only the princess was there, she would not be like this, but if the prince was there, she would not Dare to delay.
It was only later that she realized that it was about her daughter's marriage, but looking at the three names, she was a little dissatisfied, and called out softly, "My lord..." She felt that the second daughter was not only sensible and good-looking, but also the daughter of King Rui. Entering the Duke's Mansion is all made, but what is on the list now.
"Just these three." King Rui looked at Mrs. Xu and said, "My concubine let you see it to give you face, if you don't want face..."
"Xu family." Princess Rui said, "I think the third family is pretty good."
The family background of that family is not high, and it is said that the relative is the youngest son of the family, but the family is rich and powerful, and the mistress of the house is from an imperial businessman.
"Zi Niang will also be made a princess when she gets married. This family's status is too low to match." The Xu family directly refused, and Princess Rui stopped talking.
"Hurry up." King Rui urged impatiently.
Knowing that there was no room for change in this matter, Mrs. Xu could only look down. When she saw the Zheng family, her eyes lit up and she said, "I think this young master of the Zheng family is pretty good."
"The Zheng family's scholarly family has been in this generation for a hundred years, but his family is noble..." Princess Rui said, "And this young master is the eldest son, and his wife is going to be the housewife and housekeeper."
King Rui heard what Princess Rui meant, and felt a little dissatisfied, but before he could open his mouth, Mrs. Xu's heart moved when she heard the clan wife and housekeeper. She has suffered a loss in her life because she is a concubine, and her daughter is the daughter of the prince. , and was born as a princess, marrying into the Zheng family is considered a marriage, they dare not neglect, and said, "This is the Zheng family."
"My lord?" Princess Rui looked at King Rui.
King Rui thought for a while, since the third daughter has already married Yongningbo, then the second daughter is not suitable to marry into a powerful family. The generation of Zheng family has no official career, so it is suitable, "That's it."
"Well, I'll have someone send a letter to Mrs. Zheng, and I'll let him come to the door tomorrow, and then let the second girl meet secretly, and exchange tokens if possible, and then choose a good time to finalize the marriage." Princess Rui smiled. He said, "Xu Shi, you have been banned for three months, and you should not come out within three months after you go back."
"My lord..." Mrs. Xu looked at King Rui.
King Rui waved his hand, and Mrs. Xu wanted to say more, but seeing King Rui's expression darkened, he saluted and then backed away.
After Mrs. Xu left, Princess Rui smiled and said, "My lord should go to work earlier, I have nothing to do here."
"Then I'll come see you at night." King Rui said softly.
Concubine Rui agreed, got up and sent King Rui off in person, and then asked Cuixi to meet Shen Jin's mother, Concubine Chen. Now that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Concubine Chen stopped crying and began to silently give her daughter Prepare dowry.
Soon the imperial decree came down, and those who knew that Yongningbo was going to be married and had daughters of the right age were relieved, but they also lamented that King Rui was really loyal to the Holy Majesty, and they were really willing to part with it.
After crying, Shen Jin could only accept this matter, and there were benefits. She was made princess in advance, and also received a reward from the palace. Even her mother told her about the dowry.
Shen Jin is not of the nature of complaining. Now that she accepted it, she began to slowly prepare for the dowry. Many things were made by the servants of the palace, but she also wanted to do some.
Concubine Chen also agreed, "Although you didn't choose this marriage, you live your own life. Whether it's good or bad depends on your hard work."
Shen Jin wanted to live a good life. After the imperial decree came down, Shen Qi, who was already married, went home to enlighten Shen Jin, but found that Shen Jin had already thought about it.
Under the arrangement of Princess Rui, Shen Zi secretly caught a glimpse of the eldest son of the Zheng family. The eldest son of the Zheng family is gentle and talented. Do literature material.
Soon the news of Shen Zi's engagement with the eldest son of the Zheng family spread, and the two families also exchanged lively invitations.
On the day Yongning Bo returned to Beijing to offer prisoners, the capital was bustling with activity. Even some ladies who rarely go out on weekdays booked private rooms in restaurants. After all, this was a big event. They had all heard the rumors about Yongning Bo But he never really met Yongning Bo.
On the contrary, Prince Rui's mansion was quiet and did not send anyone out, because he had already received the news that Yongning Bo returned to the border gate halfway, and specially wrote a letter to plead guilty.
The Holy Majesty didn't mean to blame at all, after all Yongningbo was for the safety of the border, and even if he wanted to blame, he would blame those barbarians who didn't teach.
Whether it's Shen Jin's wedding dress or Shen Zi's wedding dress, they are handed over to a special embroiderer. At this time, Shen Zi was sitting in Shen Jin's room wearing a gauze dress with hundreds of butterflies and flowers, and said, " Third sister, when you get married at the border, don't forget to write a letter back to Beijing, and tell us sisters about the scenery of the border."
As King Rui's daughters, they have already received news that Uncle Yongning may not be able to return to Beijing in the past few years, so when they get married, Uncle Yongning may not be able to make it back. Shengshang intends to send Shen Jin directly to the border to get married.
"I heard that Uncle Huang said that he would use the guard of honor of the princess for the procession to send off the relatives. Third sister, you are very proud." Seeing that Shen Jin did not speak, Shen Zi said with a smile, "No one else has such an honor except the daughters of the clan who are married. Woolen cloth."
Shen Jin was embroidering a sachet, without raising her head, she said, "Is the pillow case Mother Concubine asked Second Sister to embroider? Second Sister is getting married soon, how are you pretending to prepare?"
Shen Zi's complexion changed, she already knew about the reduction of her dowry, and she was dissatisfied when she heard the words, if not, she would not have come to look for Shen Jin all day long, and said, "Third sister should care about herself more I don't know when Yongningbo will be able to return to Beijing, but there is a lack of food and clothing at the border, so the third sister should prepare more."
"Thank you, Second Sister, for your concern." Shen Jin finally raised her head and said, "Is Second Sister still busy?"
Shen Zi frowned and said, "Why are you still planning to drive me away?"
Shen Jin smiled and pinned the needle and said, "That's not true. I'm going to say hello to my concubine mother. I wonder if the second sister will go with me?"
"Since the mother and concubine have something to do, forget it." Shen Zi got up and said, "I'll go first, the chances of us sisters meeting are not many, and I will come to you tomorrow to catch up with you."
After Shen Zi left, the smile on Shen Jin's face disappeared. In fact, she lied to Shen Zi just now, but Concubine Chen was at Princess Rui's place. The capital also has the Yongning Mansion, and it stands to reason that they should get married in the Yongning Mansion. However, the barbarians are in turmoil recently, and Yongning Bo is inseparable from the border. When the wedding is approaching, the Holy Majesty negotiated with King Rui to send Shen Jin directly to the border, and Yongning Bo will not be allowed to come back.
So we encountered difficulties in the dowry, and needed to reorganize it. Some were sent directly to Yongningbo Mansion, such as large pieces of furniture, and some had to follow Shen Jin on the road.
Because everyone was busy with Shen Jin's dowry, Shen Zi's dowry was somewhat neglected. Shen Zi was naturally dissatisfied who made the two of them get married closer. Shen Zi always felt that she was better than Shen Jin, but She herself is inferior to Shen Jin in terms of dowry, and now everyone in the mansion is busy with Shen Jin's affairs.
It's a pity that it was King Rui's order. Shen Zi didn't dare to trouble King Rui and Princess Rui, so she could only come to Shen Jin all day long. From Yongning Bo's murder to the bad environment at the border, he said it upside down, from the very beginning. Shen Jin was so flustered that she felt numb now.
