Seeing Ye Jiuli's late arrival, the old lady's originally smiling face suddenly fell down.
If the eunuch who announced the decree hadn't specified that the whole family should receive the decree, she really didn't want this ominous wild girl to attend such a festive and grand event.
Before the old lady could scold him, the old eunuch on the side suddenly took two steps forward, looked at Ye Jiuli and asked. "Could this be Ye Jiuli, the ninth lady of the Hou Mansion?"
Are you asking yourself specifically? Ye Jiuli felt even more certain!
After she returned to the Hou Mansion, she did not please the old lady like her original self, nor did she ask her to name herself, so she still used the name Ye Jiuli named by her master, which was only one word different from her own name.
The old lady didn't care about picking on Ye Jiuli at the moment and hurriedly replied to the old eunuch. "Back to Angel, this is my ninth granddaughter, only..."
Before the old lady could say anything else, the old eunuch immediately changed his expression to a serious one. "Now that everyone is here, please accept the order!"
As the old eunuch finished speaking, the people in the courtyard knelt down with cheers, and Ye Jiuli also knelt down very well.
Now that she has traveled to this dynasty, she will naturally not use the so-called modern ideas of equality to challenge the imperial power system here. That will only lead to her own death.
After everyone knelt down, the sharp voice of the old eunuch rang out, "By God's destiny, the emperor decreed. Xiao Yunian, the eldest son of Xiao Yuncong, the first-rank general, and Ye Jiuli, the daughter of Ye Hongchi of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, are a match made in heaven, so the order The two of them got married on November 11th. There must be no mistake. I appreciate this!"
After the brief edict was read, the courtyard was silent for a while. Everyone was stunned by this sudden marriage gift, and even forgot to express their gratitude.
The old eunuch had a slight smile on his face and looked at the extremely calm Ye Jiuli. "Miss Ninth, take the order!"
Before anyone else could react, Ye Jiuli calmly thanked him and accepted the imperial edict. Everyone in the Hou Mansion came to their senses and thanked each other thoughtfully.
Ye Jiuli stood aside holding the imperial edict. The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion hurried forward and quietly put a thick red envelope that had been prepared into the eunuch's hand.
The old eunuch secretly squeezed the thickness of the red seal, the smile on his face deepened, and he congratulated the old lady.
"Old madam, my family is so happy! The Xiao family is a first-class general's residence, and Mr. Xiao is a talented young man with a lot of potential. The emperor cares about the Hou family, so Miss Ninth can have this good match."
After listening to the old eunuch's words, the old lady and Ye Hongtao smiled brightly on their old faces and stepped forward to express their thanks and compliments again.
On the contrary, Ye Hongchi said nothing, clenched his fists, and looked at Ye Jiuli who was standing quietly aside with a worried expression.
After the eunuch who announced the decree left, everyone in the Hou Mansion was very happy except for the people in the second room. Even the old lady doesn't dislike Ye Jiuli now.
Of course, the old lady would not really love Ye Jiuli because of this. But because she had a good marriage, he didn't want to make the relationship with her too tense.
Just like what the old eunuch said just now, the First-Rank General's Mansion is a very prominent family. Such an in-law must be carefully managed in the future.
…
The same situation also happened in the general's mansion. When the Xiao family received the imperial edict of marriage, everyone was confused.
In addition, the emperor also made a special decree to allow Xiao Yuncong, who was guarding the border in the southwest, to come back so that he could drink his eldest daughter-in-law's cup of daughter-in-law tea.
After seeing off the eunuch who announced the decree, the group returned to the hall to discuss the marriage. Now that the imperial edict has been issued, they still don't know who the woman is.
Miss Ninth of Weiyuan Hou Mansion? Is there such a person in Guangjing City?
Although the original person in her previous life had not shown up for fifteen years, thanks to the blessings of the other daughters of the Marquis, she made a lot of jokes soon after she came back, so many people got to know her as Miss Ninth within a short period of time.
It’s just that Ye Jiuli came through this time. Not to mention the tricks played by those teenage girls, even the old lady who stood out from the house fight and the methods used by those women with many thoughts, because she has grown up In the eyes of Xinzi's old youtiaos, they all look childish and vulgar.
After watching so many TV series and novels about palace and house fighting, Ye Jiuli sees all the little tricks used by these locally grown housewives as younger brothers!
After returning home, Ye Jiuli was very cold and aloof, acting as if he was an expert outside the country and couldn't stand the behavior of common people like them. If you don't fall into their trap, you won't be famous.
Therefore, Miss Ninth of the Hou Mansion is still an unknown person who has never been heard of among the high-profile families in Beijing.
Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Chu, of course wanted her eldest son to get married as soon as possible. Now the second sons, Xiao and Cheng, already have a son and a daughter. Even the second cousin, Yu Zhao, is married, and his wife has a baby in her belly.
Because of that reason, the eldest son hasn't met the right person for a long time.
Now that the marriage decree has been issued, the wedding date has been set in such a hurry. Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Chu felt happy for a while, but felt something was wrong for a while. The whole person was a little disoriented for a moment, and he didn't know where to start.
Or was it because of someone else's reminder that I remembered that I should first find out who this new wife appeared out of thin air?
Xiao Yunian returned to the study with the imperial edict in hand and called his personal guard Xiao Su to give some instructions in a low voice.
Xiao Su followed the order and left quickly. Xiao Yunian looked at the imperial edict in front of him and frowned slightly.
The Holy Emperor suddenly granted a marriage, but Concubine Xiao in the palace did not give any warning in advance. This is very strange no matter how you look at it!
Xiao Su, who went out soon, came back with only a piece of paper in his hand, with a few words written on it.
Ye Jiuli, the only daughter of Weiyuan General Ye Hongchi, was 15 years old. She was sick and weak when she was young and was raised outside. Half a month ago, she was taken back to Huaye'an, two hundred miles away.
The font on the bottom line is slightly larger and the handwriting is slightly sloppy. It has a special destiny and there are rumors of a coffin.
Xiao Yunian took the information he found and fell into deep thought...
…
Lanyue Pavilion
Ye Jiuli told the maid to put the imperial edict away, and then went to do other things. As for the marriage with the Xiao family, that is what the elders of the Hou family should worry about.
Seeing how calm she was, Ye Hongchi and his wife thought she didn't know Xiao Yunian's situation, and they were extremely anxious.
Su Shi hesitated for a long time, still unable to think of a way to solve the matter. When she looked at Ye Jiuli, she couldn't help but feel distressed and guilty.
"Jiu Li, do you know that General Xiao Yunian...why he hasn't gotten married yet at this age?"
Ye Jiuli looked at Su with a puzzled look, "Didn't he get married twice before?"
After hearing her words, Su Shi was shocked, "You actually know?"
Ye Jiuli nodded, "I heard someone talk about it accidentally."
"Then do you know that he...he can..."
Seeing Su's hesitation, Ye Jiuli simply said it for her. "Mom, are you trying to tell the rumor that he suppressed his wife?"
Su Shi nodded sadly, thinking that was not a rumor.
