1565 Chapter 49
Less than two days later, news of Zhao Yingyue's engagement came.
It was decided to be the eldest son of the Song family, an official in Jintan County, Changzhou, outside Beijing.
Qiu Ye came back after inquiring, and basically told the whole story about it.
Qiu Ye replied: "Master Song was announced to Beijing this time because of his outstanding performance and solved the banditry problem in Jintan County for many years. Mr. Song came to Beijing with him to meet the world, and he participated in the ice feast with him that day. Madam also met I have passed Mr. Song. Mr. Song is very upright and good at studying. I think it is okay. The master wants to get things done as soon as possible so that he can go to Yanguan with peace of mind, so he doesn't care about the dowry. After the Song family heard, Mr. Song has already Raise money everywhere, and send people to send a letter to Jintan County, and after the fifteenth day, they will collect Najina together."
It's the tenth day of the new year, and there are not many days left before the end of the new year.If it is an ordinary family, it will naturally feel that something has happened, and the daughter must be married off as soon as possible.But General Zhen Guo's Mansion is different. General Zhao will return to the border to continue guarding after the new year. Either the marriage will be delayed for another year, or it will be so urgent.
However, many people would think that General Zhao didn't want the concubine to get involved in the third prince's choice of concubine, so Jiang Gang and Ji were in a hurry to get married.
Xi Ning knew that if she wanted to deal with Aunt Xu as soon as possible at this time, she should marry Zhao Yingxue first.Otherwise, once the mother died, Zhao Yingxue and other filial daughters would have to observe filial piety for three years.After these three years, Zhao Yingxue will die.At this time, women are considered older and unmarried, and it is even more difficult to find a suitable marriage.
In fact, what General Zhao didn't know was that Zhao Yingxue had already been spotted by the third prince. If the imperial decree came down, not to mention the dead mother, even the dead father would have to be carried in at that time.He would not say that he was unfilial, but on the contrary, it seemed that the grace of heaven was mighty, so that the woman who had lost her relatives could rely on her.
Xining nodded approvingly: "Thank you for your hard work, I have something to call you."
"Yes, Miss!" Qiu Ye stepped aside, picked up the needle and thread and began to embroider the handkerchief.
Dongmei and the other three maids are still busy. The charcoal fire needs to be added, the clothes need to be tidied up, and the young lady's medicinal soup and snacks are to be made.But even Dongmei didn't dare to complain about Qiuye. After all, Qiuye was better than them at spreading the word and recognizing people.
"Why are you stopping me, you bold slave, and I need to find my third sister in a hurry, third sister, third sister..." Zhao Yingxue ran in crying from the outside regardless of the obstruction of her mother-in-law and maid.
He threw himself on her at once, crying so sadly.
Xining stretched out his hand, and waved lightly to the women and maids in the outer courtyard who followed closely with nervous faces, signaling them to go out first.
Seeing that the lady didn't seem angry, the mother-in-law and servant girl relaxed a little and retreated.
"What's wrong with the second sister?" Xining lightly patted Zhao Yingxue's shoulder: "Don't cry, I just wanted to lie down and sleep for a while, but you came running and cried as soon as you came, who bullied you? "
"Third Sister, I won't marry, you tell Dad, I won't marry!" Zhao Yingxue cried until her shoulders were shaking.
Originally, she thought that there might be good news from the third prince, but she didn't expect that General Zhao was going to marry her outside Beijing, and she was the son of the Jiupin county magistrate.
Even if she can't become a side concubine, she should find a better family.Compared with Jingui, the third prince, and the son of a ninth-rank county magistrate, the difference is simply sky and earth.How could she bear this difference!
Qiuye and Dongmei came to help her, and Dongmei said softly: "Second Miss, get up first, my lady is weak, so please hold her so that she won't be out of breath. Yanhong, hurry up and get some hot water Come here and let Second Miss wipe her face."
Qiu Ye also came to persuade: "Yes, get up first, and talk slowly if you have something to do."
Zhao Yingxue was helped up and sat on the other side of the kang.His eyes were swollen from crying, and his face was pale.
"I've heard about this too." After all, it was Aunt Xu who made the mistake, not her. Xining planned to persuade him: "Although Mr. Song is only a ninth-rank county magistrate, he can govern the county well. This time he came to Beijing He was also specially summoned by the officials, so he should be able to be promoted."
Zhao Yingxue tightly stirred the Luopa in her hands, and lowered her head: "I participated in the ice party, but I haven't received the attention of the officials. The officials just let him go to the banquet. There will be no promotion."
Xining smiled and shook his head: "That day, those who could sit next to the officials and the empress were all lords of the family. If it wasn't for a special seat, Mr. Song's seat would be almost outside the palace. How can the officials pay attention to this?" If you get it, even if you know it, how can you say it in front of so many civil and military officials? Master Song is suppressing bandits, not fighting the Huns, and he is not worthy of such a great grace."
"Besides, even if the officials forgot, if they learned that Mr. Song's son married the daughter of General Zhen Guo's mansion, wouldn't they pay more attention?"
That's right, now the Zhen Guo General's Mansion has reached the point where there is no reward and no seal.If it goes on, there will only be a royal marriage and a duke.For General Zhao's three sons, the eldest son does not need to reward, and will inherit the title in the future.The second and third sons should take it easy and reward them, and it won't be too late to reward them with military achievements, otherwise, they will encounter a situation where they cannot be rewarded again in the future.
If you can't reward Zhen Guo's general's mansion, then you can reward your son-in-law.After the eldest sister got married, the junior official was promoted.There was originally a promotion last year, but General Zhao strongly refused, saying that the frequent promotion would dissatisfy the courtiers, and the officials all over the world would be chilled and inactive, which would have made the officials give up.Otherwise, go up one level.
Zhao Yingxue didn't seem to have calmed down much: "But Mr. Song is only a scholar at present, he can't even be counted as an eunuch. When the elder sister got married, her brother-in-law was at least an eighth-rank county magistrate."
And even his father, Mr. Song, is not as high as his brother-in-law in official position. He is only a ninth-rank official, really a ninth-rank sesame official.
"If I really get married, I want to leave the capital like a big sister?" Zhao Yingxue's heart aches when she thinks of this. Changzhou belongs to the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is still rich, it is far away from the capital.Wouldn't that be more married than the elder sister?
So she begged anxiously: "Sister, go and tell dad that I won't marry."
Seeing that Xining's face darkened, she seemed to be a little impatient because of exhaustion, and quickly added: "I don't want to part with my third sister. If I marry so far away, the chances of seeing my third sister will be less in the future."
Ah Xi, in normal life, I don't see how good it is.On the contrary, the owner is unruly and willful, so Zhao Yingxue will avoid it if he can.
Xi Ning took a deep breath, and his words were still gentle: "You may not leave the capital right away after you get married. I heard that Mr. Song is very knowledgeable. After getting married, I will ask my father to help him study in the Imperial College. When the scientific examination starts next year , maybe you can get an imperial order if you don't know the title of the gold list, wouldn't it be great?"
It's an unexpected good thing for a concubine to become an imperial edict.A concubine is a concubine after all, and the aristocratic family will not marry her, at most she will take her as a concubine.
Since General Zhao was able to choose the Song family, he must have considered it this way.Even if it is a concubine, it is General Zhao's daughter.Moreover, with the Song family's wealth and background, it is already very difficult to marry the daughter of an official of the seventh rank or above.It is even more impossible for a daughter of a Beijing official above the fifth rank.
Now that the General Zhen Guo's Mansion is willing to marry him, it's natural that he can't ask for it.Lord Song also wanted himself and his son to borrow the power of the Zhen Guo General's Mansion to make their official careers smoother.
