Chapter 533(2/2)
As long as his son could live longer, he would rather believe it. After tossing and turning for half the night, he made a decree the next day.
The Duke of Guo thought that he would wait for the steward of the Third Highness to come to propose marriage. Unexpectedly, when he got up early in the morning, he heard that the imperial edict had already arrived at the door, and he was immediately startled.
As a court official, how can you not be frightened when something unexpected happens to you, especially when the emperor personally issued the order?
While he was putting on his court clothes, he recalled what he had done recently in his mind. It seemed that apart from the absurdity of having his two daughters swap marriages, there was nothing wrong with him. Thinking like this, he calmed down a little, but he was afraid that someone would
To frame him... The emperor has issued a decree, it must be a certainty, maybe the family will be confiscated and the clan will be exterminated?
As he walked out, he had already prepared for the worst. He heard from the steward that the father-in-law who delivered the order was smiling and had been polite since he entered the door, but he didn't take it seriously.
Before hearing the decree, anything you say is false. When the Duke entered the main hall, he already had a warm smile on his face: "My father-in-law, it's really hard work so early..."
Before he finished speaking, the person on the opposite side had already come over to greet him: "My lord, I am very happy. Our family is here to congratulate you."
The pale, beardless face was full of smiles, and there were layers of wrinkles. The person delivering the decree was the emperor's right-hand father-in-law. I had seen him far less polite before. For a moment, the Duke felt a little horrified and reacted.
After coming over, I couldn't help but feel happy.
It is obviously a good thing that my father-in-law is so polite.
He knelt down with the whole family and listened to the imperial edict. Thinking about the words in the edict praising his daughter's virtue, virtue, beauty and magnanimity, he felt numb all over.
After receiving the imperial edict and seeing his father-in-law off, he looked in a daze.
Luo Shi also looked as if he had been struck by lightning: "That girl Ruyu has been very dull since she was a child and refused to talk much. How can she be able to coax a noble prince to marry her?"
"Shut up!" The Duke came to his senses: "Don't say that to her! She is the emperor's eldest daughter-in-law!"
Hearing this, Luo Shi felt a little uncomfortable. Yes, no matter how weak the Third Highness is, he is still the eldest son. This girl suddenly became the sister-in-law of all the princes and concubines. Even a widowed sister-in-law is still the eldest daughter-in-law! In the rest of her life, as long as she is the eldest son,
If she doesn't seek death, she will enjoy endless honor and wealth.
Thinking that she disliked this concubine the most before, there was no affection between mother and daughter at all, and she even deliberately changed her marriage to offend her, she felt panicky in her heart, and asked tentatively: "Do you want to take her back?"
?”
After becoming a princess, it is naturally best to take her back to the palace to prepare for the marriage. Before getting married, it is best not to see outsiders, so as not to cause trouble. The Duke frowned and thought: "It's better to say goodbye."
The two of them lived a good life in the suburbs. They could see each other every day and brought them back. What if the Third Highness changed his mind?
Next to her, Deng Jiahua looked a little pale and predicted Yuzi several times. Unfortunately, her parents didn't notice her. She couldn't help it anymore. She stepped forward and tugged on her mother's sleeve: "Mom!"
When Luo Shi saw his daughter's pale face, he didn't react for a moment. He frowned and said, "Why do you look so ugly? Did you catch a cold without a quilt at night?"
As he was talking, he wanted to ask someone to call a doctor. But the daughter beside him asked timidly: "The second sister has become the princess, what about me?"
Hearing this, Luo Shi froze.
The Duke of Guo was also stunned.
There are so many civil and military officials in the court, and there are many who are more noble than the Duke's palace. It is great luck to have a prince and concubine in the palace, how can there be two?
At first, the Duke of Guo thought that the concubine was at most a concubine, and probably a concubine. How could he have thought that a concubine could have such good luck? Or should I say that he did not expect that she would be so capable of coaxing the prince to marry her?
Deng Jiahua burst into tears.
In addition to the master, there were many servants in this hall who were dealing with the aftermath. Deng Jiahua wiped away his tears and ran away crying.
The Duke of Guo felt very disappointed. Between a sick prince and a young and promising prince who was favored by the emperor, any fool would know to choose the latter as his son-in-law. But God is not discerning. Seeing his daughter crying,
He raised his voice and said: "Jiahua, I know you are happy for your sister, but don't cry for too long."
If people knew that the Duke's palace was in a state of depression after the emperor decreed the marriage, they would probably be in bad luck.
When Deng Jiahua heard this, he ran faster.
On the day of the wedding, Chu Yunli got the news.
Kuang Xian looked at her and laughed many times throughout the day, not hiding his good mood at all: "What do you think those people in the capital will say?"
"Tell me that I'm lucky, that I'm capable, and that I'm charming!" Chu Yunli glared at him: "Okay, I've been laughing for so long. If you laugh again, I'll sew your mouth shut."
"You can't bear to do it." Kuang Xian held her hand: "Such a beautiful hand can't do such a cruel thing."
Chu Yunli snorted and withdrew: "Every morning when I give you a needle, I won't show any mercy." She easily took out a needle, which was longer than her face: "This needle will go in more than half of the time. I'll see you smile."
It looks like it's getting better, I'll prick it harder tomorrow."
"Farewell." Kuang Xian smiled and begged for mercy: "Madam, please spare my life."
Chu Yunli rolled her eyes at him: "Stop laughing!"
"I really can't help it. Such a wonderful daughter-in-law fell into my arms. If I don't smile, it means I don't know what is good or bad." Kuang Xian pretended to be serious. So, he got another look.
Not to mention how surprised people in the capital were, when Lu Hainan heard the news, he was taking inventory in the warehouse. He had just taken over, and although the things in it were not important, they still had to be recorded.
This warehouse is filled with scrap weapons, which are inventoried every year, and a lot of damage is reported every year. Nowadays, iron is particularly expensive, and the iron that has been reported damaged can be re-refined and become good things. But these good things no longer belong to
He was in the treasury and did not belong to the imperial court. The people in the treasury were very fat because of this. Lu Hainan was not short of money, but he held power in his hands. If the people below wanted to benefit, they had to respect him.
But at the same time, there are also people who can't stand him. For example, at this moment, as soon as the news of the third prince's marriage came out, everyone kept silent about it. But someone stepped forward carelessly: "Master Lu, I heard that the Duke
The second daughter of the palace was given the title of third princess this morning. You and the second girl are old acquaintances, have you known about this for a long time?"
The two were once husband and wife, and they were more than just old acquaintances. Deng Ruyu moved to the suburbs and met His Highness the Third Prince. Immediately afterwards, Lu Hainan got this fat job. Even a fool could guess the trick here.
When Lu Hainan was surprised, he saw his strange expression, and hearing the deep meaning in his tone, he felt his face heat up: "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes." This is the bookkeeper under the treasurer. His rank is not good. I originally thought that after the treasurer gets old, I can take up this lucrative job. For this reason, I have moved around a lot. I don't want to lose such a person.
.
If it was really because of his family background or his ability that he was being pressured, he would admit it, but he was selling his wife for glory... So, some people are just lucky, which is really annoying.
"The second girl has a good relationship with you. Mr. Lu will become prosperous in the future, but don't forget us brothers."
Lu Hainan was worried and panicked. He didn't know if he had eaten too much for breakfast. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. Anyway, the work was not too urgent. He stuffed the account book in his hand into the recipient's arms: "I have something to do, first of all
Take a step forward and won't come today. Please help me take stock."
After the words fell, the person had disappeared outside the warehouse.
Lu Hainan had walked a long way, and he could still feel that everyone was secretly pointing fingers. He felt increasingly ashamed and annoyed, and went home without going anywhere after going out.
When Mrs. Lu heard that her son was back, she was afraid that something would happen and hurriedly found someone: "Hainan, didn't you just go there? Why are you back? Did something happen?"
"No!" Lu Hainan said in a dull tone: "Early this morning, the emperor issued a decree to marry Deng Ruyu. She will be the third prince's concubine in the future."
Mrs. Lu was stunned.
She knew that her son got this job in exchange for leaving Deng Ruyu, or in other words, the man who took a fancy to Deng Ruyu took this good job in exchange for her son to let go. But she never knew that that man was actually the prince.
I thought that if Deng Ruyu's status was really favored by a nobleman, she would be a concubine at most, maybe just an outlaw... I never dreamed that Deng Ruyu would have such an opportunity.
Seeing that her son was like an eggplant beaten by frost, Mrs. Lu suppressed the complicated feelings in her heart and said: "What does her being the prince's concubine have to do with you? You do your job well!"
Lu Hainan rubbed his forehead: "My head is a little dizzy, I want to take a rest."
In Mrs. Lu's view, her son's future is very important, but his health is equally important. She suddenly became anxious: "Are you going to get sick again? I'll have someone call a doctor for you."
Since she suffered a loss from Dr. Li, she stopped raising her in the house. When she got sick, she went outside to look for her. This way, she was less likely to be tampered with.
