Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 171
Princess Changle's marriage has finally been settled. The man is this year's new champion, Kong Guangkun, the second son of Sanfang, a direct descendant of the Kong family.This Kong Zhuangyuan has been known for his talent since he was a child. Unlike Bai Yizhi, he is a modest person. If his parents didn't want him to take the scientific examination, others might not know that he has such a talent.

The Kong family has always been treated with courtesy by the kings of all dynasties. In the early days of the Kang Dynasty, Yang Chengjian asked the head of the Kong family to be an official, but was rejected.Many members of the Kong clan looked down on Yang Chengjian, who used his ministers to seek the king, and Yang Chengjian also knew it.After the implementation of the imperial examination system, he once again asked people from the Kong family to serve as Guozijian Jijiu, but was rejected again.He was not annoyed, and still treated the Kong clan members with courtesy.Perhaps it was because the Kong clan didn't want to have a too tense relationship with the emperor, or it was true that they were moved by the majesty's heart as they said on the face of it. petty officer.They work conscientiously, but have no further plans.Yang Chengjian also saw the doorway, and thought of marrying the Kong family.

After discussion, the members of the Sun clan agreed to the matter, and selected Kong Guangkun, who was bright, modest and upright, from the descendants of the direct line, and let him take part in the imperial examination to prove his talent.When Yang Chengjian proposed marriage with the Kong family, he was interested in Kong Guangkun. Taking advantage of the palace examination, he even asked Princess Changle to take a look at Kong Guangkun from behind the screen, and Princess Changle was also satisfied.

Kong Guangkun didn't know this, and he wasn't very happy when he was the number one scholar in high school. He didn't have much interest in officialdom, but he preferred to study literature at home. He was worried that the Holy Majesty would arrange an overly important official position for him, so the decree of bestowing marriage came down. , The elders in the family also told him that the marriage family had known and agreed to it for a long time.He didn't have anyone he liked, and he had long ago decided to obey the arrangement of the clan, no matter if the other party was the princess or anyone else, he had no objection.He is the same age as the princess, also 19 years old, and the marriage contract is fixed, so the two of them got together, and the approval naturally means that the two are very suitable. up.

Yang Chengjian discussed with the members of the Kong family that the wedding will be held in the princess mansion, and Kong Guangkun will also stay in Chang'an and Princess Changle to live in the princess mansion. The members of the Kong family have no objection and told Kong Guangkun about it.Kong Guangkun was only reluctant to let go of the Kong family's collection of books in the ancestral hall of his hometown, but he had no other reluctance.When Princess Changle heard about this, when she was overhauling the Princess Mansion, she specially reserved a courtyard for him to use as a library, and asked him to discuss how to build this courtyard.

This is also the first official meeting between Kong Guangkun and Princess Changle. He didn't know that Princess Changle had already met him, but when the princess got off the Luanjia, he saw that the princess was not wearing a veiled hat like other women in Chang'an, so he was satisfied. up.The veiled hat worn by Princess Changle is actually very thin. If you look closely, you can see her appearance.If it were any other woman, Kong Guangkun would not do what Meng Lang did, but after all, he is still a young man in full swing, so he couldn't help but sneak a glance at him to know what his future wife would look like. I like it more.

Princess Changle has elegant demeanor, good conversation, and beautiful appearance. Even Kong Guangkun, who has never thought about the relationship between men and women, is also moved by her.Soon, there were rumors in the city of Chang'an that the two hit it off, and it could be said that they were a match made in heaven.

Zhuhua has a rough idea of ​​Princess Changle's life, and always has a pity for her future life.Out of curiosity, she sneaked a look at Kong Guangkun. He was a tall and straight gentleman, like a three-good student who received scholarships every year in his previous life.There were quite a few young ladies and wives peeping at him at the moment, Zhuhua felt that the women in Chang'an City were too open.

"I think this Mr. Kong is in the limelight now, surpassing Mr. Bai." Zhuhua chatted with the people who went to the mansion of Wu Guogong.

"It's just a novelty for a while." Yin Xi laughed.

Kong Guangkun and Bai Yizhi seem to be people from two different directions, one is a representative of an excellent class, and the other is a rebellious youth. It is hard to tell who is more popular in Chang'an City.

Soon after Zhuhua's full moon, she took Tuantuan to Wu Yinggong's mansion. She made a baby basket, and Tuantuan was put in the basket and carried around. Of course, the person carrying it was not Zhuhua.After arriving in the mansion, Zhuhua lifted the veil on the basket, revealing Tuantuan dressed as a bamboo shoot.Tuantuan, who just woke up, gave a sweet smile to Mrs. Wu, who she met for the first time, and fell asleep again after laughing.

"Tuantuan, don't sleep, your aunt is going to give you a meeting gift." Zhuhua joked as she took her little hand.

"You are a money addict." Wu Yinggong gave her a white look, took off the jade pendant on her body and put it on Tuantuan, "Use it to calm her down."

Zhuhua remembered that this was a jade pendant worn by Mrs. Wu, it was a piece of topaz sandwiched with green, with the double fish pattern engraved on both sides, and the green pattern happened to be carved into a lotus leaf.Zhuhua didn't know the reason for the jade, only that it was extremely valuable.

"Young lady should reward her separately, lest she break this jade when she is young."

"If you fall, you will fall, and it's not worth anything." As she spoke, she teased Tuantuan's tender little face.

Seeing that the clothes Tuantuan was wearing were very funny, Yin Xi asked, "The princess thought of this dress, is there anything else?"

Zhuhua knew the elegant meaning when she heard the strings, she nodded towards Yinxi, and said: "There are many, we will talk about them in detail later."

Yin Xi nodded immediately, she just likes Zhu Hua being smart and straightforward.

Wu Guogong looked down on the two of them, as if they were so poor, and the family was not without money.Seeing that the child was also asleep, she waved to the two of them, "Don't be late, you guys talk about these disappointing things, so that Tuan Tuan won't see you two like money lovers."

"Isn't there no way, look at how cute we are, don't you want to change her into beautiful clothes every day? Don't you have to work hard to earn the money as a mother?" Zhuhua said with a serious face.

Yin Xi nodded in agreement, and said to Mrs. Wu Guogong: "Master, you don't know how expensive firewood is if you are not in charge of the family."

"Go away." Wu Yinggong said impatiently, not wanting to waste her saliva with the two.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then went to the next room to discuss things, Tuantuan woke up once, and Qiu Chu, who was accompanying her, asked Zhuhua to go over to nurse her, and she fell asleep again after eating, so Zhuhua went back to talk to Yinxi Keep talking about making baby products.

"You breastfed yourself, didn't you ask a wet nurse?" Yin Xi couldn't help asking.

"Isn't it to save money?" Zhu Hua pretended to be helpless, and added under Yin Xi's calm gaze, "The daughters of our old Cheng's family are all fed by themselves."

"The daughter of your old Cheng's family is really frugal." Yin Xi joked, she has known Zhuhua for many years, even though she has changed from "Miss Cheng" to "Princess" now, she doesn't hold back when she speaks not open.

"That's right, my daughter will have to do the same in the future." Zhuhua said without changing her expression.

After the two of them finalized the general matter, Zhuhua went back to the main room of Mrs. Wu, seeing her hugging under Qiuyun's guidance, she couldn't help smiling.Yinxi on the side also felt strange looking at it. You must know that Wu Yugong doesn't like to hold children, and she always thinks that they cry and make a fuss at every turn.But Zhu Huasheng's Tuantuan is a rare good boy, born to attract others, the most important thing is to know that she seems to know Wu Guogong, she always smiles at Wu Guogong.

After Zhuhua went there a few times, she found out about this, and said to Mrs. Wu with jealousy: "I don't know what kind of benefits this child has gained from Mrs. He, but she just smiles at you. She doesn't like to laugh at home. Her father teases her." She just stared like she was looking at a fool, I said she loves to laugh at King Ping, but I still don’t believe it.”

She wasn't exaggerating, she told King Ping after she found out that Tuantuan could laugh, and King Ping took all kinds of toys to make her want to see her laugh, but she put on a very calm expression, staring at her round eyes a little bit Looking at him puzzled, King Ping was a little discouraged.

Hearing what she said, Wu Guogong couldn't help laughing, Tuantuan saw her laughing and laughed too, and vomited a bubble.Although Zhuhua was extremely rare, she couldn't help but say a little sycophant in her heart.

Kong Guangkun, who had received much attention because of his marriage with Princess Changle, just happened to divert everyone's attention from Bai Yizhi.Jiang Erniang in Bai Yi's family had a miscarriage before Laba last year. It is said that she accidentally slipped and miscarried to take care of the drunk Bai Yizhi.Everyone thought that after this incident, Bai Yizhi would marry Jiang Erniang. After all, the two of them are no different from a serious couple. Who knows that Bai Yizhi didn't do this. Instead, he bought a house in Beijing and hung himself The house number, let Jiang Erniang live in, but did not mention marrying Jiang Erniang.

Later, when someone asked him when he was going to have a wedding after drinking, he said that he was so annoyed by having married two wives before, that he would never marry another person in the future.Indeed, in Bai Yizhi's heart, his wife and children are burdens, and there are many people around him who agree with his ideas, but it is hard for his family's Jiang Erniang to follow him without a name.On the other hand, someone met Jiang Erniang when he was taking Bai Yizhi home, and asked her curiously.

"It's rare to be a confidant in life. If secular appointments become a burden, it doesn't matter if you don't." She said lightly.

What she said was beautiful, and a lot of people envied Bai Yizhi for having a confidante like Jiang Erniang, but Zhuhua still held her attitude with reservations. Seeking fame and fortune and the man's devotion.But now the daughters of the Jiang family in Beijing are more eye-catching than Jiang Erniang. Jiang Sanniang went to the fief with Princess Hengyang after Princess Hengyang reconciled with her son-in-law, and she will not return to Beijing in the short term.

Shen Shisanniang, who had a bit of a festive relationship with Zhuhua, also entered the Qin Palace as a side concubine when Zhuhua was in confinement, using the reason of exorcising evil spirits and saving her life.Ever since Shen Shisanniang was told twice by Zhuhua that she was bewitched by an evil spirit, her marriage has been a bit difficult. Obviously she doesn't care about this, and she has a close relationship with King Qin not long after.The king of Qin has already decided on the main concubine, and the wedding date is next year. Shen Shisanniang enters the mansion as a side concubine. I heard that the quasi-Qin concubine also agrees.She couldn't bear to see King Qin's cousin be disturbed by evil spirits, so she agreed to let Shen Shisanniang become the side concubine of King Qin.The evil spirits did not dare to harass the royal family, and Shen Shisanniang, who had claimed to have been unable to sleep at night for the past few months, was fine once she entered the Qin Palace.

Zhuhua also hehe when she heard this, she really didn't think how many people in Chang'an City would believe this.Ever since she married into Prince Ping's Mansion, the rumors of ghosts in Prince Ping's Mansion have faded away. Even though she once used this incident to beat Shen Shisanniang, not many people in the city continue to rumor that there are evil spirits in Prince Ping's Mansion, but some people say that ghosts have disappeared. She was subdued by the King of Peace and the Priest of Perak.

As for the fact that Shen Shisanniang was haunted by evil spirits, they believed it. After all, Shen Jiuniang passed away unexpectedly in the mansion. Some Taoist priests came to help speak, but they were dubious.However, this matter was not widely spread, only when interested people asked about it, Shen's family used this excuse as a prevarication. When others heard that it was because of this, they didn't ask again.

What happened to Jiang Erniang and Shen Shisanniang all happened in February and March, which was the season of the scientific examination. After the scientific examination was over, the engagement between Princess Changle and Kong Guangkun happened again. This Kong Guangkun, who was not well-known in Beijing, wanted to know what kind of person he was, but married the jewel in the palm of the Holy Majesty.

However, there are also many people who are concerned about the whereabouts of Xinke Jinshi, and Xu Mu is also concerned about this.He had been a clerk in the Ministry of Industry for two years, and he wanted to go further, so that Yinhua would not lose her head among the sisters.As usual, he can indeed be promoted by one rank, from an eighth-rank official to an official seventh-rank official. It's just that he has stayed in the Ministry of Industry for a long time and wants to visit other ministries, but this will have to trouble the elders Move around so that he's too embarrassed to speak.

But one day, at a family gathering, King Ping took the initiative to ask him about this matter. He and King Ping had always had a good chat, but he also said that he wanted to change places. King Ping also felt that he had to move.

"If you want to stay in Chang'an in the future, it's not enough just to know the Ministry of Industry. The water there is clearer than other places. The second brother-in-law is still young, so you still have to go to other places to see and see."

Qin San, who heard the two talking on the side, also thought it was true, but since Xu Mu had spoken to King Ping about this matter, he didn't get involved again.After half a month, Xu Mu was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment and became a seventh-rank boss.

The Xu family and the Qin residence are very close, and the two families often eat together. When Qin San knew about it, he also said to Xu Mu: "Now that King Ji is in the Ministry of Punishment, there are people to take care of you there. It is also the place where you can understand human feelings the most." If you study more, you will know that our family is not feasible to move to Chang'an. It is precisely because of this that the friendship between our family is invaluable."

Xu Mu nodded and thanked Qin San.Qin San didn't actually tell Xu Mu, Xu Mu was always sensible, he was afraid that Yinhua would complain that Xu Mu didn't get promoted too fast.In fact, there is no Yinhua. Anyway, she has the status of Miss Hou Fu, and no one dares to provoke her. On the contrary, she really hopes that Xu Mu will continue to be a low-level official in these years, lest he become prosperous and all his parents will come to Beijing. Come.

But before Xu Mu was formally transferred, Yinhua took the initiative to tell him that she would go back to her hometown with him, and Xu Mu naturally agreed.The family took the little tiger on the road for more than ten days and finally arrived at their hometown. Yinhua sent a letter to go back first. After arriving home, everything in Xu's house was arranged properly, so she didn't need to worry about it.
