It was really time for Lian Jiaying to say goodbye, but Lian Jialiang hadn't gotten married before, so it was hard to go ahead and say goodbye to Lian Jiaying first. Qin couldn't make the decision about Lian Jialiang's marriage, so she simply told the public that the two of them would get married together.
The two young masters of the Lian family are both concubines. This can be found out after a little inquiry. However, the two young masters have already reached the age of getting married, but they have not gotten married. Those who don't know it are curious.
It is difficult to ask in front of the owner, so we can only inquire in private.
"I heard that the Queen's house is uneasy. The wife gave birth to a legitimate daughter, and the concubine actually gave birth to two concubines. If the wife is not generous, there must be something hidden!"
"That's not... I heard that Mr. Lian passed the Jinshi examination and lied that he had no match. Only then did he fall in love with the Qin family and got engaged to the current Mrs. Lian. But when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, he brought a woman with him. When we came back, the woman was pregnant. Guess who this woman is?"
Sui Sui slept until midnight, thinking about her mother's hard work in the front yard entertaining guests. She originally wanted to go over and help, but unexpectedly heard a few women chattering.
"What's going on? Who is that woman?"
Mrs. Qin didn't know what she was busy with. The maid who was serving her was not here at the moment. The woman who spoke lowered her voice.
"I heard that she is the legitimate daughter of Master Lian's mentor. The two were engaged before Master Lian came to Beijing. You think Lian Fangyu is a good person. You can't let go of your glory and wealth, and you can't let go of your childhood sweetheart..."
Lian Suisui had known this for a long time, and he was wondering how the woman who spoke knew so much about her family's situation...
But the woman who had spoken changed her voice.
"Why do I know? It's not because Mrs. Lian had taken a liking to the eldest girl in our family and wanted to marry her eldest son, but the eldest son's mother was unwilling! She was unwilling, but she thought we were willing! Our girl from the Si family Is it so worthless?”
Si family?
Is it the Imperial Master's family?
"Although our family is from a side branch, two of our family have passed the Jinshi exam this year. He didn't even pass the exam for the eldest son. Our eldest daughter's brother and younger brother both passed the exam this time. Why should he? Don’t fuck us!”
It was not appropriate to go in at this time. Lian Suisui was about to retrace his steps and bypassed the front hall. He saw a gloomy-looking Mrs. Zhang on the back wall of the front hall. Apparently she heard the voices inside, and she gritted her teeth. Sound.
"Aunt Zhang, why are you here?"
Ms. Zhang specially dressed up. Her clothes were made of brand new materials, and her hair accessories were very rich. She also had a layer of rouge on her face. She was almost forty years old, but her charm was still there. No wonder Lian Fangyu was like this. Been doting on her for years.
"Did Mom ask you to help with the guests?"
There is no need to publicize the family scandal, as it is known to everyone outside, but face should be maintained, and she still needs to maintain it. After all, she is also a member of the family.
"Auntie, go quickly. Mom is really too busy by herself."
After Lian Suisui knocked her into the corner, Zhang originally wanted to leave, but she couldn't leave now.
When the people in the living room heard the voices outside, they stopped talking.
Ms. Zhang gritted her teeth and bumped into Lian Suisui's shoulder as she walked over. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed about being talked about in front of her juniors. But no matter how desperate she was, she didn't dare to do anything to Lian Suisui.
The original owner was fierce, but Lian Suisui was shrewd. If he faced her head-on, the only one who would suffer would be himself.
Lian Suisui didn't care and sneered.
Mrs. Zhang heard that many ladies came to Lian Jiaying's house to propose marriage. She couldn't sit still and wanted to take the opportunity to choose a marriage for her son. Unexpectedly, she dressed up well and rushed over, but she heard the ridicule of others.
"I've never heard of an adult marrying an equal wife. How come these days, a concubine can enter the house and entertain the guests for the mistress of the house..."
Mrs. Zhang was crowded as soon as she entered. Even Suisui couldn't see what was going on inside, thinking that the lady was really a wonderful person!
"Miss, something has arrived from the palace."
Xiao Tao was panting as she ran, "Madam asked you to go over!"
"The old lady of the Qin family, the eldest lady and the second lady have added makeup for you and have sent it to our yard. You should go back quickly!"
No wonder her mother left the guests in the front yard and ignored the reception for the time being. It turned out that people from the palace were also here.
"The Queen Mother has a good relationship with the old lady of the Qin family, and she also added makeup to you, as well as the Queen Mother, Princess Huirong..."
Knowing that their family was too busy these days, they only sent servants to bring things.
"The Queen is so polite. I was rewarded with a lot of things last time I entered the palace, and there are still some! The Queen must have given me some good things. Let's go and take a look!"
Xiao Tao's expression was hard to explain. Last time, the Queen just found an excuse to let her into the palace. What should she tell her young lady...
The people from the palace were so serious that when Lian Suisui returned, they asked her to check the gift list in person, said a few words of congratulations, and then said goodbye.
Haven't sent anyone away yet.
"Madam, Miss, someone from the Ninth Prince's Palace is here, saying they want to give Miss a wedding dress!"
All the necessary procedures for getting married have been completed, why come to send wedding clothes at this time?
"Bring people in quickly!"
Things are happening one at a time.
Chu Zhiyi didn't say anything in advance, so Mrs. Qin prepared wedding clothes for Lian Suisui, but Mrs. Qin was still very happy. If the man prepared wedding clothes for the woman, it meant that he valued the marriage.
"Old slave Ji Ying has met Mrs. Lian and Miss Third."
"Why haven't I seen you?"
Lian Suisui had lived in Jiuwang Mansion for a while and had never seen the woman in front of him. However, there were a few familiar faces among the maids following her.
"The old slave used to be a female official in Concubine An's palace. After Concubine An passed away, she has been taking care of the Ninth Prince's daily life in the palace. During the few days when the third lady was in the palace, the old slave happened to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, and he just came back recently."
Ji Ying deservedly came out of the palace, and her rules and etiquette were not forgotten.
Lian Suisui felt a little reserved.
"The prince has long asked Lingyan Pavilion to customize the wedding dress for the third lady. He was afraid that he would not be able to make it in time for the wedding, so he did not dare to tell the third lady in advance. Please forgive the third lady."
Lingyan Pavilion is the first embroidery building in Beijing. Lingyan Pavilion is most famous for its tapestry craftsmanship. Each inch of tapestry is made of gold. Not only is the craftsmanship complicated, but the price of a wedding dress is sky-high.
The maid came forward with a tray, and several people cooperated to carefully unfold the wedding dress.
The bright red material seems to have gold and silver threads sandwiched between it. The pattern has a different feel from that of embroidery. It is woven on the cloth bit by bit by craftsmen. You can't touch the pattern on the wedding dress with your fingertips, but you feel that the pattern seems to be shining. .
In comparison, the emerald phoenix crown that Qin prepared for her seemed not noble enough.
"Your Majesty has already prepared it."
Ji Ying opened the red silk cloth on another tray and revealed the exquisitely crafted nine-phoenix crown. It was inlaid with thousands of pearls and gems, and the nine phoenixes held half hanging tassels in their mouths. It was both solemn and playful.
"This is the Nine Phoenix Crown used by Concubine An when she married the late Emperor."
Lian Suisui looked at Mrs. Qin.
"Since the prince has prepared a wedding dress, let's wear this on the wedding day."
Ji Ying is blessed.
"The wedding is approaching, and my prince has a message for me to bring to the third lady."
The servants all over the courtyard covered their lips and smiled softly. Even Suisui's cheeks were slightly red. Is there anything I can't say after getting married?
"My prince said that he is nervous about getting married to the third lady."
Fortunately, it wasn't a disgusting comment. Lian Suisui breathed a sigh of relief and asked why he was nervous. She didn't eat people and the marriage was just a formality. They had made an agreement long ago.
Lian's family was talking a lot today, and word spread quickly that Chu Zhiyi asked his servants to take care of Lian Suisui.
"Whoever marries a third lady would be nervous!"
Someone sneered, "Even with Miss Third's reputation and the Ninth Prince's figure, I don't know how she will cuckold the Ninth Prince in the future!"
