Qian Qiyue was used to being careless and just chatting with Tang Ning.
"Isn't Jin Rou pretty? But she has such a soft temper. Mrs. Fu had arranged her marriage before, and was bullied but she kept silent. Later, if someone hadn't happened to meet the girl in the groom's family, I don’t know what will happen if I bully her.”
Tang Ning asked curiously: "Who bumped into you?"
Qian Qiyue said: "Fu Laiqing, as well as Qi Dalangjun and the youngest son of the Minister of Punishment."
When she fell into the water on the Chinese Valentine's Day before, Tang Ning had met the husband of the Qi family next to Fu Laiqing, and knew that he was the eldest son of the Zhennan General's Mansion. He had followed his father to guard the border in the south, and he had just returned to Beijing in the past two years.
As for the youngest son of He Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, she also vaguely remembered that he was also a decent-looking, upright and straightforward man.
Fu Jinrou would never argue with other girls in public. After all, those who could be chosen by Mrs. Fu would have some dignity and know the rules.
The old man of the Fu family was not of high birth and was not prominent in the family, but later he became a hero of the Wei Dynasty and shared the ancestral temple with the royal family. Although the status of the daughter of the Fu family was not particularly high, there was a related Cao family standing behind her, so she could No matter how stupid someone is to discuss marriage with the Fu family, they will not embarrass Fu Jinrou in public.
So, how could Fu Jinrou be bumped into by Fu Laiqing and the other two people when she was being bullied?
Tangning thought of Fu Jinrou's weird words when she mentioned Fu Laiqing just now, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she felt a little suspicious.
Qian Qiyue didn't notice anything was wrong at all, she just held her arm and said:
"You don't know, Jinrou and that family are about to get engaged, but it turns out that the girl in that family is domineering, and Jinrou has always been superior to her brother. She comes from a small family in the Fu family, and she said that if the Fu family hadn't Mr. Fu, I'm afraid he's still a country boy, and she even moved her hands towards Jinrou."
"Fu Laiqing was very angry at the time. After he took the person back, the marriage ended."
"Mrs. Fu feels particularly guilty for Jinrou because she doesn't know people well. She also asked my mother, Mrs. Wenxinhou, and the old lady of the Cao family to help find a suitable family for Jinrou."
When Qian Qiyue spoke, she looked at the shy girl standing next to Mrs. Fu, and followed Tang Ning in a low voice:
"As Jin Rou, she is not qualified to come to the palace banquet today. It was Mrs. Fu who specially asked for a favor from the Queen Mother on her behalf, and she was allowed to attend the banquet."
"When I looked at Madam Fu, I wanted to express my gratitude for her, and also meet with each family to show how much the Fu family values her."
In other words, Mrs. Fu held Fu Jinrou up because of her guilt. Others understood the Fu family's attitude and naturally did not dare to underestimate her.
Tang Ning followed Qian Qiyue's gaze and saw Fu Jinrou in the crowd, who seemed to be aware of it and turned around with a smile.
When Tang Ning raised her lips, her eyes were cold.
"Whose family is negotiating with her?"
"He seems to be the eldest son of a doctor from the Ministry of Industry."
"Last name?"
"It seems his surname is Chai?"
There are many bureaus under the Ministry of Industry, and there are several doctors in charge. Qian Qiyue only vaguely heard Mrs. Qian mention it accidentally, but she never asked who it was.
She couldn't help but turn her head: "Tang Ning, why do you ask this?"
Tang Ning took Qian Qiyue's words to heart and thought about going back to find someone to find out what happened, but her face looked peaceful.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little curious. Mrs. Fu is pretty and gentle. There is the Fu family standing behind her. I want to see which family is so ignorant."
Qian Qiyue quite agreed, but she just didn't know what was good and what was good. How many people wanted in-laws from the Fu family and Cao family, so the roundabout relationship had to be maintained.
Although Fu Jinrou's immediate elders have a lower status, they are still girls of the Fu family.
Offending the Fu family in this way will probably turn the Cao family into enemies as well.
Tang Ning only left some traces in her heart, not wanting to keep talking about this Fu family girl who suddenly appeared.
Seeing Qian Qiyue muttering, she changed the topic: "Why didn't you see the Zhou sisters today?"
"You said Yu Chang, she is getting married."
Speaking of Zhou Yuchang, Qian Qiyue was obviously more affectionate: "You don't know yet, but Mrs. Wenxinhou arranged a marriage for her, and she is the youngest son of the Minister of Justice."
"When did it happen?" Tang Ning was surprised.
"Just a few days ago, the two families just changed the Geng-Tie contract. We are just waiting for Najib to be fine and will re-employ him."
Qian Qiyue is not like Tang Ning who doesn't like to move around. There is nothing in the capital that she doesn't know about. She said:
"I heard from Yu Chang that He Xiaolangjun's mother is not in good health. She is afraid that it has only been in the past two years. She is afraid that it will delay the marriage of the two families. She also wants to rush into the happy event, so the wedding date for her and He Langjun will be fixed. It will be closer, probably after the new year.”
It's mid-August now, and the New Year's Day is only three months away. Even if the New Year's Eve is postponed for another month, time will be tight.
Naturally, the marriage between Wenxinhou Mansion and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment cannot be done in a simple way. It also takes time to prepare for the marriage, dowry, and Naji and Zheng.
I don't know how long Mrs. He's health can last in the He family. If her birth mother dies suddenly, the He family will have to observe mourning for three years.
Zhou Yuchang is now seventeen. If it takes another three years, it will be too late.
Qian Qiyue whispered: "Mrs. Wenxinhou likes the husband of the He family very much, and Yu Chang is also satisfied with him. In addition, although the He family is in a hurry, it is also sincere, so the two families discussed how to speed up the process. Jade Chang was busy preparing and embroidering the wedding dress, so she did not come to the palace to attend the banquet."
Tang Ning understood that this was the case, so she had to prepare the gifts earlier.
…
It was still early in the day, and the palace banquet had not yet started. Many ladies and ladies in the palace went to the vicinity of the imperial garden together, and most of the ones who stayed behind were talking in low voices in twos and threes.
Tang Ning glanced at Rong Yue, who was joking with Mrs. Wen Xinhou and the others not far away, and lazily nestled in a corner with Qian Qiyue, listening to her gossiping about the latest news in Beijing. It's delicious, Qian Qiyue said with joy.
After the sky darkened outside and the number of people in the palace gradually increased, and several young girls who were friends with Qian Qiyue came over, Qian Qiyue stopped sharing gossip.
Tang Ning is extremely "famous" in Beijing, but because she usually keeps a low profile and doesn't interact with people often, she rarely agrees to the post that invites her to a banquet in Jiuyun Lane, so she seems mysterious instead. Many people in Beijing It's rare to see her even once.
The Rongsheng Academy in her hand was already eye-catching. The girls from the powerful families were extremely curious when they saw the fact that she came out on top in the academy's quiz a few days ago.
Tang Ning was not arrogant, and his temperament was not the same as before. After deliberately making friends with him, he quickly gained the favor of a group of young girls.
They were chatting together, and someone asked about the academy.
"Princess Xiangning, can women also enter Rongsheng Academy?" The questioner was a girl from the Hanlin family, surnamed Wang.
