Marquis Xizhang was sitting on a large chair. He was already sixty years old and very fat. The fat all over his body made him look lumpy, and the chair was filled to the brim.
"Jiang Xuncheng's daughter?"
He had an impression of this. The young son who met the Minister of Rites yesterday was also talking to the young man about Miss Jiang Er. He walked by and heard a few words.
It is said that she is stunningly beautiful and makes people stunned at just one glance.
"Master Hou, I just took a look at it when we met. She was really beautiful. Last time, Master Hou asked me to find out which family has really stunning girls. I looked around and found that this is the only family. , the second girl of Zuo Xiangfu, she looks like a fairy. Anyone who looks at her will call her a stunning beauty. That is to say, she is a little younger now. If she waits for another year and a half, the threshold of Jiangfu will be broken. ."
Guagu Han said with a smile, a sick eye, blinking and blinking, very distinctive.
"Is it really so beautiful?" Marquis Xizhang became interested.
"Master Marquis, I've been to a lot of aristocratic families. I've seen at least half of the girls from aristocratic families all over the capital. There are so many of them, and none of them can compare to them."
Aunt Han Gua affirmed once again with overwhelming enthusiasm.
"How does it compare to the Princess of Ping'an Palace?" Marquis Xizhang said slowly.
Pei Yanshuang of Prince Ping'an's Palace was also famous throughout the capital for his appearance. He was extremely beautiful and Rong Hua was at his best. The Marquis of Xizhang had seen Pei Yanshuang.
I just felt helpless after seeing it.
"You can be sure that if you stay for another one or two years, you will definitely be more outstanding than that princess." Han Guagu said without hesitation, and what she said was true.
Aunt Han Gua has seen a lot of people. Although at first glance, it seems that the second girl of the Jiang family may not be the most outstanding, but if you take a closer look, you will find that with such facial features and appearance, she is indeed worthy of being said to be stunningly beautiful, but now A little smaller, less feminine and less feminine, she doesn't look as good as those girls in their prime.
All the second girl in the Jiang family needs is time.
She is just a little beauty now, but she will surely amaze everyone in the future.
"I heard that the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion is still a direct daughter..." Marquis Xizhang thought thoughtfully.
This identity is also a bit difficult to handle.
"The Marquis has a different identity. He is a relative of the royal family. The Marquis voluntarily gave up the throne and returned to the capital. He is also the emperor's uncle. If he wants to marry a stepmother, he will definitely be successful." Han Guagu said with a smile.
Although the Marquis of Xizhang in front of him has little ability or great ability, he has now been given a sinecure position and usually does not care about anything. He is an old dude. However, his identity is really extraordinary and he has made great contributions to the royal family.
"Jiang Xuncheng is still my junior."
"The Marquis is absolutely right, but if you miss a woman with such a beautiful face, there may not be another one." Han Guagu continued to seduce her.
Marquis Xizhang's first wife died, and he is now preparing to renew his marriage. However, he has been renewing his marriage for more than a year, and still has not found the right one. After marrying, he will become the first wife of an old man. Many families who love their daughters are not willing to do so, even if Xi Zhang Hou's status is noble, but many people still feel that it is inappropriate. They would rather marry a child from a poor family than marry into the family and become a grandmother directly.
However, Xizhang Hou himself wanted to find someone who was both good-looking and of equal status, which was even more difficult to find.
Hearing Gugu Han say this, Marquis Xizhang felt very itchy.
Beautiful women with stunning looks are indeed rare to find. The one he wants to marry now is his wife, and her status is quite similar. As for the other things, it shouldn't be a problem.
"The Marquis has a noble status. It's enough if you go and ask for your will." Han Guagu smiled and helped him come up with an idea.
Regardless of whether it is suitable or not, when the marriage is decreed, it must be suitable.
"I have to see it for myself first." Marquis Xizhang waved his hand, "Not everyone can be worthy of my wife."
He glanced sideways at Gu Gu Han and said with a sinister smile: "If I find out... you lied to me..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Marquis, what I say must be true. If Miss Jiang Er is not good-looking and does not suit Mr. Hou, he can just chop me up."
Aunt Han Gua almost swore to the sky.
Seeing her like this, Marquis Xizhang was satisfied. He had been choosing for so long, not just to choose an ugly one, but to choose someone with stunning looks and status worthy of himself.
After coming out of Xizhanghou's mansion, Han Guagu wiped her sweat. Xizhanghou was indeed not easy to fool. It would be best to go directly to the emperor to ask for his will with just a few words, but he still had to ask for his permission first.
There is no point in settling the marriage now.
Then we can only follow the second method discussed by Aunt Gu.
Thinking of the ritual, Han Guagu went to a shop that sold magical artifacts. She also had to prepare a few more items to avoid any mistakes.
He sneered, a little girl dared to fight with him.
What Han Guagu didn't know was that what she thought was foolproof had actually gone wrong a long time ago.
When Nanny Han arrived at Fahua Temple, she asked about the place where Jiang Mansion enshrined the Changming Lantern, and brought incense and candles there to worship it.
Hearing that they were sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion to worship Prime Minister Jiang's father, the monks in the temple fawningly took Mother Han to the Buddhist temple where the everlasting lantern was placed.
Lead him inside.
Jiang Xuncheng's status was different, and the position of the lighted lamp had also been moved forward.
"Master, I want to ask about the offerings." Aunt Han said to the monk accompanying her with a smile as she walked.
"How many are usually worshiped here?" Her chin slightly glanced at the many bright lanterns in front of her.
"The ever-burning lanterns here are all ordinary. The two floors behind are where the aristocratic families are." The monk said with a smile.
"How much do most aristocratic families make offerings to? What's the best way to make offerings?" Aunt Han continued to ask.
"It depends on the intention of each donor. There are several taels or dozens of taels. Basically, they are offered once a year." The monk said.
In fact, when the incense money was first offered, a large amount of incense money was paid. The next offering depends on the wishes of each family. Basically, it will not be much, which is an ordinary incense money. After all, it takes a long time and ages. .
Aunt Han was not surprised by what the monk said. She sighed and said: "There were worshipers in our house before. Originally, Aunt Gu was in charge of this matter. Now something happened in the house and Aunt Gu is no longer here. I The person took back the power of management and asked several girls to follow him to learn management. When handling this matter, I don’t know whether there were offerings in the past, or how much offerings were made.”
"Originally, we two girls came together to pay homage to each other, but things happened one after another in the house, and the two girls couldn't come, so we had to postpone the matter and pay homage the next time we come here, but this time You must also understand the matters of worshiping clearly. You cannot have something that was originally there but suddenly disappear, or there was originally a lot but now there is less, and there are no rules for making offerings."
These words are quite meaningful. They seem to say everything, but they also seem to say nothing.
There are a lot of rumors about the recent events in Jiang Xiang's house. There are many pilgrims coming to Fahua Temple every day, and the monks have also heard a lot of rumors.
"Donor, please wait a moment. The young monk will go look at the account book."
