Chapter 348 Marriage Negotiation
Hai Muqing could only listen to Xie Jibai's words quietly, she gently stroked his back, and understood that he couldn't say these words to anyone, only to her, and all she could do was listen .
And this listening also brought their hearts closer.
When Xie Zhiwei returned to the yard, he was already paralyzed from exhaustion. Mother Qiu finally waited for the girl to come back, feeling distressed and nagging at the same time. For a while, the girl lost weight, and for a while, the girl's hands were rough due to lack of maintenance. She took the ointment, Wipe Xie Zhiwei all over his body and massage as usual.
Bai Ling knelt on the bed, and said to Xie Zhiwei mysteriously, "Girl guess, where is Miss Baibiao now?"
The men of the Bai family were exiled to the army, and those who were assigned were assigned, not to mention for now, the female family members were sent to the Jiaofang Secretary, or were used as official slaves, because the wives were not from Baiding, and some were redeemed. It's not unusual, but does Bai Meizhi also have such a great ability?
"I heard that it was Princess Xiang's natal brother who redeemed Baibiao girl and brought her into the mansion. I heard the day before yesterday that she was pregnant, and the dealer set up a few tables specially to make Baibiao girl into an aunt."
"He's really capable!" Xie Zhiwei praised sincerely, and couldn't help but think of the Feng family in his family temple, and sighed in his heart, the so-called Skynet is not leaking, this is true.
Since God has kept Bai Meizhi, there must always be intentions to keep her.
After a while, Xie Zhiwei fell into a deep sleep.
In Prince Xiang’s Mansion, a family banquet was held tonight in the Xihua Hall next to the three small halls in front of Rongfu Yuan. The food and wine were just served. As soon as Xiao Xun entered the door and saw the dog in Xiao Ke’s arms, he turned and left.
King Xiang was drinking a cup of tea. Seeing this, he glared at Xiao Ke fiercely and said angrily, "If you let me see you raising a dog again, don't call me daddy anymore. Just get out!"
Mrs. Zhuang couldn't hear this, and was frowning. Seeing Prince Xiang getting up and chasing after the eldest son, she panicked and shouted, "My lord, are you going to stop this banquet?"
"Eat, eat, what to eat? You have raised a good son, and my son is angry, how can you eat?"
Mrs. Zhuang was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She said this, as if the son she raised was not the son of the prince, but she had never been respectable in front of the prince. There were three side concubines staring at her in the room, so Mrs. Zhuang had no choice but to hold back her arrogance. In a big way, he ordered the housekeeper, "Hurry up and ask the kitchen to send a table of noodles to the prince's study. The eldest son came back today, and he didn't even drink tea."
The nurse in charge naturally took the order and left.
Mrs. Zhuang sat on her seat, took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and asked the three side concubines, "Your younger sisters have always known the eldest son's temper. It seems that today's welcome banquet will not be possible. Since you are here, We can’t go back on an empty stomach, it’s getting late, why don’t we eat first?”
Xiao Yu has a total of one main concubine and four side concubines. As for the concubine, there are eight if not ten, which fully occupied the quota given to him by the imperial court.
Prince Xiang's mansion is not short of money, it occupies the best fiefdom in Xiangzhou, a land of fish and rice, and its annual harvest is not low. In addition to his annual salary, he also has various income, rewarded by the Queen Mother, and owns a mine under his name. As long as he doesn't raise troops Conspiring against this kind of money-burning activity will never be used up in a few lifetimes.
Therefore, King Xiang is very generous to women. As long as they are his women, as long as they can give him a son and a half daughter, they will be made side concubines. Therefore, Xiao Yu's three sons and four daughters are all of this It is from the four concubines.
If it is said who is the woman King Xiang loves the most, even cats and dogs in Prince Xiang's mansion know that she is Concubine Rong who lives in the Buddhist hall all the year round and has not shown up for more than ten years.
As for the Zhuang family, as long as Xiao Xun is not involved, King Xiang respects this concubine and is willing to show some dignity. Once there is a conflict with Xiao Xun, King Xiang will stand on Xiao Xun's side without principle.
Everyone in the whole family knows that although there are three brothers and four sisters in the house, in the eyes of the prince, only the eldest son is probably his son, even though these wives and concubines did not steal anyone, nor did they cuckold the prince Son, and did not let the prince like to be a father.
"Princess, on a day like today, doesn't it mean that elder sister Rong didn't come out to catch the eldest son?" Concubine Yu smiled.
Concubine Ma glanced at Concubine Yu with a half-smile, "If Sister Yu misses Sister Rong, when you go to see Sister Rong, don't forget to help her with me too."
Concubine Yu smiled awkwardly, "Look at what Sister Ma said, who else in this mansion has the face to meet Sister Rong?"
In this whole mansion, even the concubine, she only saw Rong shi once when she entered the mansion.
On the second day of Zhuang's wedding with King Xiang, before she had time to worship the ancestral hall and offer incense to her ancestors, King Xiang rushed to pick up Rong. At that time, she knew that Rong was pregnant by five It's been many months.
According to etiquette, Rong should offer tea to her, but King Xiang couldn't salute because Rong was pregnant, so he asked the servant girl to pour a cup of tea, passed it through Rong's hand, and handed it to Zhuang. .
This matter was the pain of Zhuang Shi's life. At that moment, she actually had the illusion that the prince married her purely to let Rong Shi come in.
"Stop talking, if you don't want to be kicked out and sold, then don't talk too much!" Zhuang's face darkened, his sharp eyes swept over the three concubines, and he sneered, "Go and win the prince's heart if you have the ability. To whom did I tell these sour things to you?"
There are four girls sitting on the ground, and Mrs. Zhuang can say it.
Not to mention that in the West Flower Hall here, there are three women in one play, and four women in five plays. In King Xiang's outer study, there is a table of noodles, and there are only two people, King Xiang and Xiao Xun.
Father and son, one drank alcohol and the other ate vegetables. After a heavy meal, Xiao Xun was half full, rubbed his stomach and asked, "Father, tell me, what's the matter?"
Xiao Yu glanced at his son, and said slowly, "The day before yesterday. Before you came back, I went to the palace to discuss your marriage with the emperor!"
Bang Dang!
The chopsticks in Xiao Xun's hand fell off, and he didn't bother to pick them up, and he didn't know how to swallow a mouthful of food, so he just looked at his father helplessly, and asked after a while, "Who is it? I don't want it!"
"Oh, you don't want it? Forget it!" Xiao Yu wiped his face, wiped off the scum that his son accidentally sprayed on his face, and took a drink from the wine glass.
Xiao Xun picked up a pair of chopsticks again, and was picking out a meatball to eat, when he heard his father say, "I've checked it all over, and there is no girl in the whole capital who is more decent and suitable than Miss Xie's family..."
Boom!
The meatballs fell into the bowl, splashing the soup. The soup bowl was right in front of Xiao Juan. He closed his eyes and let the soup slide down his face.
