Chapter 387 Marriage
Xie Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, looked at the imperial decree in his hand, and asked with some uncertainty, "Where does the joy come from?"
If it had been the way it was in the past, when the lord came, Lu Yan should read the imperial decree, but at this time, he asked tentatively, "Prince Xiang's mansion asked the emperor for the imperial decree of marriage!"
He looked at Xie Zhiwei, and there was deep concern in his enchanting eyes. If Xie Zhiwei didn't agree, he might not announce the decree.
Xie Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief, although she herself didn't know whether she did it right or wrong, but at this moment, there was a hand behind her pushing her forward, so she knelt down.
Even if she didn't agree to the marriage, she couldn't resist the decree. How could the members of the Xie family be charged with resisting the decree because of her?
Xie Tiao was stunned, there seemed to be countless bees buzzing in his mind, making him want to explode. In front of him, the bright red embroidered unicorn robe on Lu Yan was so obtrusive, it hurt his eyes intermittently. He wanted to ask Lu Yan, did he come to the wrong place to deliver the decree?
His granddaughter is only eleven years old, what kind of marriage is given?
"Princess Duanxian, listen to the decree!" Lu Yan unfolded the decree, and a feminine voice sounded in the main hall.
Reflexively, Xie Tiao knelt down, and he glanced nervously at his granddaughter. Although it was much better to marry into Prince Xiang's mansion than being plotted to go to Lou, but in case the granddaughter is not satisfied with the marriage Woolen cloth?
What's so good about Prince Xiang's Mansion? Although Xiao Xun is the king of the county, he is still the eldest son of a concubine after all, and Xiao Ke, although he is a descendant, has not been well-known in the capital these years, so he must not be an outstanding figure. As for the third son of King Xiang, Ma Fang Not to mention the Xiao Heng from the imperial concubine, it is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Xiao Xun. If the emperor bestows sister Wei to Xiao Ke or Xiao Heng, Xie Tiao would think that Diaphragm should panic.
He has been hurting Sister Wei for so many years, but he hasn't hurt enough. Could it be that he is about to become someone else's family member?
In an instant, Xie Tiao felt dissatisfied with the emperor.
It was already the third watch, because it had nothing to do with the younger ones, therefore, only Xie Tiao and Xie Zhiwei, as well as the servants who came to listen to the decree, were kneeling on the cold and hard chiseled floor tiles, Xie Zhiwei lowered his head , staring at the powder-soled soap boots on Lu Yan's feet.
Lu Yan's soft voice sounded above her head:
"I received the empress dowager's kind words: Xie Zhiwei, the eldest daughter of the Xie family's eldest daughter Duanxian County, has a rich family crown, celebrates the etiquette training, is chaste and natural, and behaves well. To be a **** palace, to cooperate with the three good deeds, and to be a concubine." The device, Shichang Wanye. Prepare the decree, but the national chapter, the queen mother is very happy to hear it, and hereby refers to the marriage of the king of Chenjun. This is to order you to be the princess of Chenjun. It is the responsibility of the secretary to choose an auspicious date for marriage. Go, Qinzai ! Its light bears the emblem's life, but you can't be careful!"
Xie Zhiwei was fine after hearing the imperial decree, but Xie Tiao was different. He quickly grasped two main points. One was that his granddaughter was indeed married to the Prince of Chenjun. Another imperial decree, the granddaughter was canonized as the concubine of Chenjun before she passed the family.
How is this going?
After all, he had been in the officialdom for decades, he soon came back to his senses, and couldn't help but look at Xie Zhiwei again, seeing her calm expression, as if the imperial edict of marriage was for someone else, at this time he raised his hands above his head, "Duan Xian accepts the edict , thank you Lord Ron!"
Xie Tiao had no choice but to kowtow, the granddaughter had already accepted the order, and he didn't even have a chance to ask her whether she was satisfied or not. Then he thought again, the granddaughter has always had her own opinions, even though she married the **** son of the king of Chenjun, at any rate, Chenjun The king's character is precious, both civil and military, and he is favored both in and out of the palace. It is much better than being conspired to go to Lou country.
Could it be that the marriage was actually requested by the granddaughter herself?
"Congratulations, Mr. Xie, congratulations to the princess!" Lu Yan waited for Xie Zhiwei and Xie Tiao to get up, and said congratulations, he stroked his sleeves, and said in a low voice, "It's getting late, I have to go back to report, soon Stayed!"
"Wait!" Xie Zhiwei hurriedly said, she glanced at Lu Yan's hand, "Master Lu, please wait for a moment! It's so late, please trouble Master Lu to come by himself, anyway, please drink a cup of tea before leaving!"
Eunuch Mi Tuan was on the sidelines, hands and feet in shock. In the whole world, except for the emperor, no one dared to keep the governor for tea so forcefully.
However, Lu Yan, who had just turned around, stopped, and looked back at Xie Zhiwei, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, a pair of enchanting eyes were shining brightly, and the streamer of candlelight flickered on his unstained and vermilion lips, Very bright and moving.
Xie Zhiwei winked at Du Jun, Du Jun hurried to the backyard, Lu Yan returned to his original position and sat down to drink tea, Xie Zhiwei sat on his right hand, holding the imperial decree in his hand, looking at his right hand from time to time slip away.
Lu Yan felt uncomfortable, but fortunately Du Yan came soon, Xie Zhiwei took the gauze and ointment that Du Yuan brought over, and stretched out his hand to Lu Yan, "Lord Lu, your hand is hurt!"
Under the bright candlelight, Xie Zhiwei opened Lu Yan's casually wrapped hand, and seeing a large scratch on the palm, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Yan dissatisfied.
Lu Yan lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes trembling slightly like a row of small brushes.
Xie Zhiwei helped Lu Yan clean the wound. Fortunately, the wound was not too deep. She gently applied the green plaster to the wound, wrapped it up with gauze, and tied a beautiful bow on the back of her hand. The bottle was passed to Mi Tuan, "Mister Mi Tuan, twice a day, the wound should not get wet, so don't delay."
Mi Tuan took the jade bottle tremblingly, and replied, "Yes!"
Lu Yan looked at the bow on the back of his hand, then took a deep look at Xie Zhiwei, did not speak, and strode out.
Xie Tiao got up and sent Lu Yan a few steps. Looking back, he just pretended not to see the unusual relationship between his eldest granddaughter and Lu Yan, but pointed to the chair at the bottom of his left hand, "Sit, grandfather has something to say." tell you."
Of course Xie Zhiwei knew what his grandfather was going to ask. Logically, she should take the initiative to explain this matter clearly to him, but what should she say? Could it be that she wanted to tell her grandfather that she agreed to the marriage to help Xiao Xun?
"Miss Wei, this marriage is not a good one, but just now, my grandfather thought about it in his heart, and it's not too bad. When a girl grows up, she always has to leave the court, and the most important thing is to live in the backyard all her life. What matters is not the love of the parents-in-law, but the treasure of the husband."
Xie Tiao has always thought that his granddaughter is extremely intelligent, tenacious and decisive, but upon closer inspection, she is only an eleven-year-old girl. The ancestors greeted each other again.
Discussing relatives and discussing relatives is about discussing words. People like them naturally have to go through the aristocratic families in Beijing and outside Beijing. They really can’t find a good son, so they will consider the rich and powerful. , Xie Tiao has always been against marrying powerful people.
A daughter who died young is a typical example. Although a granddaughter is more than a hundred times more secure than a daughter, which girl who is a daughter-in-law does not endure hardship and anger?
What's more, Xiao Xun is still the eldest son of a concubine, and his position in Prince Xiang's mansion is already very embarrassing, and Princess Xiang is still a merchant, and her granddaughter will marry there in the future, how will she live?
The first update!
