Chapter 58: Rumors Abound(2/2)
"Well, Prince Lin has good intentions, and we can't blame him. Besides, if it hadn't been for Prince Lin at that time, Keren would have drowned long ago." Qin Xianghe was also very helpless, "But
, so many people saw Prince Lin hugging Keren, and so many rumors spread, what should we do now?"
"This matter seems to be difficult to solve." Zhao Song sighed, "Rumors have spread all over the sky now. If we don't find a way to solve it as soon as possible, then Keren's future will be worrying!"
Zhao Song was also very angry. Keren was cultivated by him. Not only was she beautiful and generous, but she was also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was definitely one of the best ladies in the capital. She could not be ruined like that. But, what else?
What's the solution?
Qin Xianghe couldn't help complaining, "If Zhao Ying hadn't pushed Ke Ren into the water, then nothing like this would have happened. I told you at the beginning that it must be Zhao Ying who pushed Ke Ren into the water on purpose.
Maybe she was the one who brought this incident to light."
Qin Xianghe is so angry that her teeth are itching when she thinks of Zhao Ying. If Zhao Ying hadn't pushed Keren into the water, none of this would have happened now. It was all that Xiaojianren's fault and hers.
Like a mother, she would only fight against her. No matter what, she would never let go of the mother and daughter. Qin Xianghe secretly made up his mind.
Hearing Qin Xianghe's complaints, Zhao Song said very impatiently, "I didn't know who was who and what was wrong in what happened at the beginning. Why are you still complaining here? Did you see Ying'er push Keren into the water?
?If you haven’t seen it, then don’t complain here. If you really have that much time, it would be better to think about how to solve this problem.”
In fact, to put it bluntly, Zhao Song still complained about Zhao Ying in his heart. He actually thought that if it weren't for Zhao Ying, things would not have become so bad, but he would never regret his original decision. In the final analysis
, he is a headstrong person, that's why he is so disgusted with Qin Xianghe mentioning what happened before.
After hearing Zhao Song's scolding, Qin Xianghe was very unwilling, but she no longer struggled with that matter. After all, Zhao Song was her husband, and she would not fall out with Zhao Song over such a thing.
In addition, the most important thing now is the pleasant things, and everything else can be put on hold for now.
"Sir, what do you think, let's let Keren get engaged to Prince Lin?" Qin Xianghe suddenly suggested, "In this way, we can not only preserve Keren's reputation, but also find such a good marriage for Keren.
, kill two birds with one stone.”
"You're crazy." Zhao Song looked at Qin Xianghe in disbelief, "Prince Lin is Keran's fiancé! If you let Keren get engaged to Prince Lin now, what will happen to Keran?"
Zhao Song couldn't believe it. How could Qin Xianghe come up with such a bad idea, asking her daughter to get engaged to her future brother-in-law? It was a shame she could think of it.
However, the more Qin Xianghe thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was feasible, "Master, don't object in a hurry, just listen to me!"
Zhao Song frowned and looked at Qin Xianghe to see what reason she could come up with.
Qin Xianghe analyzed, "Master, think about it! Although Keran and Prince Lin are married on the fingertips, who else knows about this apart from our two families? Moreover, although they are married on the fingertips
, but to put it bluntly, it is just a verbal promise between the two families, and no ceremony has been held, and there is not even a matchmaker! So far, it is only the order of the parents, and there is no word of matchmaking? "
You should know that the wedding ceremony is very complicated. It is divided into seven steps: negotiating with matchmakers, exchanging invitations, betrothal, giving gifts, welcoming the bride, paying homage to the court and making wedding arrangements.
1. It is said that "if there are no clouds in the sky, it will not rain, and if there is no matchmaker on the ground, there will be no marriage." In traditional marriage, the man and woman must go through a matchmaker before they can get married. The matchmaker can take the initiative to do the job and matchmaking for the man and woman, or he can be a matchmaker.
Being entrusted by others is the beauty of adulthood. There is also a saying that "the orders of parents are the words of matchmakers", which is the truth.
Second, exchange Geng Tie, that is, correcting the horoscope and predicting the zodiac. The ancients were very particular about marriage. If the man's family wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, they would first obtain the woman's horoscope from the woman's family, and then hand it over to the fortune teller to calculate whether it would be compatible with the son. This is commonly known as "Jiawu".
"Clip". If the woman's horoscope is negative or conflicts with her son's horoscope, the two families cannot form a marriage. You can also place a post with the woman's birth date and horoscope in front of the gods and ancestors of the man's family to predict good luck within three days.
, if everything goes well at home, the man and woman can become in-laws.
Third, fixed appointment, that is, the exchange of letters of appointment. The appointment letter is usually prepared by the groom's family. Before the appointment is made, all gifts have been listed in the gift list. The groom's family only pays a small half of the gift, commonly known as the upper half of the gift. When making the appointment, it can also be used as a gift.
The gold ring is a betrothal gift. On the day of the betrothal, both the male and female families hold a banquet to entertain relatives and friends. Participants only join in the fun and do not give gifts.
Fourth, gift-giving should be carried out about twenty days or one or two months before the wedding. The most important thing in gift-giving is the gift money. Since the first half of the gift has been taken when the engagement was made, it is commonly known as the second half of the gift when all is paid.
The gifts are listed in a gift list and placed in the gift book. The gift list must contain fabrics, silks, gauze, etc. These fabrics are used to sew clothes for the wedding. The bride’s family should also return some gifts, repair the gift book, and hand it over to the recipient.
After bringing back and giving gifts, the wedding date is not too far away.
5. On the day of the wedding, the groom's family fires cannons, plays music, and sends out sedans to welcome the bride. The matchmaker takes the lead, followed by the groom, bridesmaids, sedans, bands, and box teams, all arriving in a mighty manner. As soon as the sedan arrives, the bride's family plays music and fires cannons.
Welcome. After the welcoming team enters the hall of the bride’s family, the sedan lands on the ground, and the groom bows to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Under the guidance of the matchmaker, after saluting the bride’s ancestral tablet and elders, the bridesmaid takes the bride’s arm and gets on the sedan. When getting on the sedan,
, the bride generally has to "cry to get married" to express her attachment to her parents. The way back from marriage must take another way, which is also called no turning back.
6. On the wedding day, the bride and groom hold a ceremony. The groomsmen appear as "Yin Zan" and "Tong Zan" respectively. The process of worship is as follows: Yin Zan: the groom stands in front of the sedan. Tong Zan: Qi
The newlyweds get up from the sedan chair. Yin Zan: The groom bows (invites the bride with his hands) Yin Zan: The bridegroom and bride go straight to the front of the flower hall. Yin Zan: The bridegroom and bride take their seats. Tong Zan: The bridegroom and bride offer incense. Yin Zan: Kneel down and offer incense. Tong Zan:
Kneel down, kowtow, kowtow again, kowtow three times, and bow three times: one to heaven and earth, two to the high hall, the husband and wife bow to each other, and finally enter the bridal chamber.
7. Making trouble in the bridal chamber The main reason for making trouble in the bridal chamber is that in ancient times, marriages were arranged by parents. Neither the man nor the man had any contact before the marriage. Some of them had never even met each other, let alone understanding and familiarity. Now all of a sudden
Becoming a couple must be very strange. With such a process of having a wedding ceremony, the indifferent atmosphere can be changed, so that the couple can reduce the unfamiliarity as much as possible and get the couple into a state of intimacy as soon as possible.
Only when all the above steps are completed can a man and a woman become a real couple. Although Zhao Keran and Lin Xiran were married by fingertips, they did not even have to complete the matchmaking, exchange of invitations, and employment before the marriage.
Nothing has ever been done, so although the two of them are said to be an unmarried couple, they are just in name but not in harmony with each other after all.
After hearing Qin Xianghe's words, Zhao Song's attitude seemed to have relaxed, and he didn't even frown so tightly.
"Is this really okay?" Zhao Song asked.
Qin Xianghe saw that Zhao Song's attitude had relaxed, and he quickly continued to persuade, "In fact, no one knows that Keran and Prince Lin are engaged, right? Even if the engagement is terminated, what will happen outside?
No one will know! This will not cause any damage to Keran's reputation. In the future, if you become the Marquis of Zhenbei, you can just find a better marriage for Keran.
? If this matter is not resolved well, then Keren’s reputation will be ruined. What should we do in the future?”
Zhao Song was still very hesitant, "Is this too cruel to Keran? Will she agree?"
"Master, Keran is also my daughter, how can I be willing to hurt her?" Qin Xianghe was also very helpless, "But this matter can only be solved this way. Plus, you see, Keran
If you love your sister so much, you will definitely agree."
Zhao Song still couldn't decide.
Seeing Zhao Song's look, Qin Xianghe continued, "Look, Keran is timid and timid by nature. Even if she really marries Prince Lin, it's still unclear whether she will be favored. But Keren is different. You
You know, Ke Ren is not only beautiful, but also intelligent. If she marries Prince Lin, she will definitely be able to sit firmly in the position of Madam Zhongyi Hou in the future. This will also be good for your future development, sir!"
"Alas," Zhao Song sighed, "It seems that this is all we can do."
It has to be said that Qin Xianghe really knows Zhao Song very well. He knows where Zhao Song's weaknesses are. What Zhao Song cares about most is his future.
Hearing that Zhao Song agreed, Qin Xianghe finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he knew very well that this incident would hurt Keran a lot, but there was no way, she had to keep Keren.
She does prefer Keran to her two daughters. So she can only feel sorry for Keran about this incident. However, Keran is also her daughter, and she will definitely find a good marriage for Keran in the future.
of.
"Then I will go back to my home tomorrow and discuss it with my father." Zhao Song said, "You should find time to have a good chat with Keran tomorrow and understand her!"
"Okay, I will, don't worry!"
After settling this matter, the two of them were finally in the mood to sleep.
Just after Zhao Song and Qin Xianghe fell asleep, they did not notice that a white figure leaped down from their roof and disappeared into the night.
After about a cup of tea, the white figure came to Chunhui Garden. He opened the window with a familiarity and jumped in. However, what was different from the last time was that Zhao Keren had already fallen asleep and did not look.
to the arrival of the white figure.
As usual, Situ Xu came to Zhao Keran's bed and looked at Zhao Keran's sleeping face quietly. Unknowingly, his eyes showed a trace of pity.
In fact, not long after meeting Zhao Keran, Situ Xu had already sent people to investigate everything about Zhao Keran. Therefore, he knew that the rumors outside were all false. Zhao Keren was not Lin Xiran’s fiancée, she was. But
, this also made him very unhappy, as if there was an unknown fire burning in his heart, and he felt inexplicable anger. From that time on, he knew that he fell in love with this woman. No, not only liked it, but even
It can be said that he has fallen in love with her. Maybe he has started to like her since he listened to her piano music! Especially after chatting face to face with her last time, he became even more sure that this woman is the one
He has been looking for someone who can accompany him for the rest of his life.
Situ Xu is definitely the kind of person who does whatever he wants. Once he understands what he wants, he will never back down. Even if she already has a fiancé, he will never give up. Moreover, he has already checked
Well, her fiancé Lin Xiran is not a good person at all. Although he is engaged to her, he has been secretly interacting with her sister in private. Such a man is simply not worthy of such an indifferent and detached woman like her.
So, he decided to find a way to break her engagement. Situ Xu didn't think this was a despicable thing at all. After all, her fiancé was not a good person. However, before he took action, rumors were already flying all over the sky.
After hearing these rumors, he was afraid that she would be sad, so he came here tonight specifically to see her and comfort her if she was unhappy. Of course, he could also increase the relationship between them, then
Better.
However, I didn't expect that before I came to her place, I overheard her name when passing by her parents' bedroom, so I wanted to eavesdrop and get to know her better. However, I didn't expect that the more I listened,
The more he felt that her parents were really rotten, yes, they were rotten.
He didn't want to comment on her parents like this, but her parents' behavior was really too much. It can be heard from their words that there was only Zhao Keren in their hearts, and they were even willing to sacrifice for Zhao Keren.
Their other daughter.
No wonder her music was so sad, no wonder she was so defensive. It turned out that in this family, her life was not as good as it seemed. Her younger sister hooked up with her fiancé, and her parents blindly favored her, even to the point of sacrificing her.
She came to save her sister. What kind of parents are these!
This made him feel very angry. Her parents had never considered it from her perspective. You know, in this era, it is such a big deal for a woman to have an engagement with her fiancé.
Attack. They will only favor that Zhao Keren. If that woman is good, she will put on airs and secretly hook up with her future brother-in-law.
At this time, Situ Xu had no idea that even if Zhao Keran did not break off the engagement this time, he would find a way. Now, all he felt was pity for Zhao Keran.
Looking at Zhao Keran's peaceful sleeping face, Situ Xu swore in his heart that he would be good to Zhao Keran. He would spend his whole life proving it.
Zhao Keran didn't know that while she was sleeping, a man was secretly making up his mind to promise her a lifetime. This also destined her to live a completely different life from her previous life.
I don’t know since when, but the wheel of fate has actually deviated from the track of the previous life. Perhaps this is the meaning of God’s decision to give Zhao Keran another rebirth!
