Chapter 171: Ruoxi first entered Dengying City
The carriage slowly drove into the gate of Fengyiyuan and stopped outside the Yido Gate carved with phoenixes and peonies. Eight palace maids got off from the carriage behind, dressed in uniform pink palace outfits, stood in front of the gorgeous carriage, and said respectfully: "Princess, please get off..."
According to custom, before getting married, Ye Shuhua could not meet Song Ruoxi. The person who represented the Ye family to welcome Song Ruoxi at Fengyi Courtyard was Ye Shuhua's eldest brother Ye Xiao'an, his legitimate wife Wei, Ye Shuhua's wet nurse Ouyang, and Fengyi Courtyard's chief manager Liu.
Song Ruoxi got off the car, with pink flower-patterned satin-shaped face-collared, wind-woven jacket and pomegranate red pleated skirt. His black hair was tied with a flowing cloud bun, and his bun was covered with small pearls and flowers, which shone under the sunset. There were three round bead hairpins on his bun, and there were lotus jade foreheads carved from mutton fat jade on his forehead. He was decorated with rouge on his face, lightly painted willow eyebrows, and lightly painted cherry lips. The unparalleled beauty added a bit of bright color, charming but not vulgar, elegant but not cold.
"I have met the princess. I have worked hard all the way!" Ouyang was not only Ye Shuhua's wet nurse, but also Zhaoping's confidant. When she saw Song Ruoxi, she breathed a sigh of relief. No matter whether the little master was obsessed with beauty and married, as long as the little master was willing to marry, the two could have children, and respectfully saluted the future master's wife.
"I have seen the princess, and the princess is lucky." Liu saluted.
"Ouyang's mother doesn't have to be too polite, and General Manager Liu doesn't have to be too polite. Please come up." At that time, I had already told Song Ruoxi about the identities of Ouyang and Liu in advance.
"Princess, this is the eldest son, this is Mrs. Wei." Ouyang took the initiative to introduce Song Ruoxi.
"The eldest son is polite, and Mrs. Wei is polite." Song Ruoxi said blessedly.
"Hello, princess!" Looking at Song Ruoxi, who was as beautiful as a fairy, Ye Xiao'an's eyes were full of surprise, and his throat could not help but squirm up and down. Ye Shuhua's sick ghost had a good vision and had chosen such a stunning beauty.
"The princess is polite. The princess is exhausted along the way. Suyuan Pavilion has been packed. Please come with me to rest for a while and come for dinner later!" Wei said politely, but his eyes showed disdain. Men are always men, saying that they are pure and have no desires or not greedy and beautiful. A contemptuous sneer flashed across his lips. This woman from Fujian took advantage of her color and entered the eyes of the sick ghost. She just served her with beauty. How could she last for a long time?
"It's time for Mrs. Wei." Song Ruoxi noticed the expressions and expressions of the two. The corners of his lips were slightly pursed. Ye Xiao'an's appearance was not similar to Ye Shuhua. His skin was slightly dark, his eyebrows were thick, his slender eyes were slightly raised, and his nose was high and his lips were thick.
Wei's boudoir is named Lingjuan, with a medium-sized appearance. She is wearing a lily-turned cloud bun, and a pair of red gold-inlaid gold hairpins are inserted on both sides. In the bun is a red gold-inlaid ruby phoenix hairpin, an emerald earrings are hanging around her ears, and a purple-red embroidered rich peony with a thin satin wool on the opposite side, but she is not elegant and luxurious, but she feels old-fashioned.
"Princess, don't be so polite. In a few days, we will be sisters-in-law. There is time to spend together well!" Wei Lingjuan chuckled, with something in her words.
Song Ruoxi smiled bitterly. This is true. She only had to be a sister in the boudoir for more than ten years, and she only had to be a dozen years. After getting married, she was rare. She was a sister-in-law and lived in the same house. From then on, she looked up and didn’t look down. She had to deal with her for the rest of her life, which was a lifelong companion. This one seemed kind, but according to the information, she was like Ye Xiaoan, who looked like a loyal face and was actually cunning. I wonder what other sister-in-law were?
With the help of Ouyang, Song Ruoxi followed Wei Lingjuan in, carved beams, painted buildings, pavilions, water pavilions, trees and flowers scattered among them, and the corners and corridors were all elegant and noble. Song Ruoxi lived in Suyuan Pavilion in Fengyi Courtyard. Ye Xiaoan sent Shangguan Moxun and others to the next door Yingguan Hotel, two of which were only separated by an inner alley of 150 feet wide.
Wei Lingjuan didn't stay for too long. After drinking half a cup of tea, saying a few polite words, she left. Ouyang was with Song Ruoxi and arranged for some things to do.
That night, Ye Fan held a banquet at the Siyixian Pavilion in Zhongyuan to entertain Shangguan Moxun and others. Song Ruoxi, who is the bride-to-be, could not attend.
The sky gradually became dark, and the servants hung lanterns in the pavilion, and the red lanterns swayed gently in the evening breeze. The maids delivered five dishes and one soup for Song Ruoxi to enjoy. Steamed sea bass, watered beef skewers, crispy quail, plum blossom tofu, chrysanthemum cabbage and fish. Two of the eight palace maids were in charge of trying the dishes, and tried each dish with silver needles, and then tasted each dish.
On the way, Silkworm and Vanilla were always responsible for cooking and eating, and there was no need for them to do so. Now that they are at other people's territory, they should be careful in everything. If something happens to Song Ruoxi, all those who serve her must be buried with them.
Song Ruoxi looked at Ouyang and Liu. Seeing that the two of them looked as usual, a helpless smile flashed across their lips. The height was so cold that she had to be careful of eating something.
"The little master said that these are what the princess likes to eat, please use more." When the palace maid tried the dishes, Ouyang picked up a piece of crispy quail with ebony silver-wrapped chopsticks and placed them in the silver bowl in front of Song Ruoxi.
Song Ruoxi smiled and had a graceful dining posture.
The smile on Ouyang's face became a little deeper. The little master's words in front of his wife were not entirely false. Princess Yuxian was indeed a girl from a famous family. The Empress Dowager of Min did not find a girl to deal with her wife casually.
Song Ruoxi used up dinner under the service of Ouyang, "Thank you for your hard work, nanny."
"It is a blessing for the servant to be able to serve the princess." Ouyang said humbly.
"Canniang will accompany the two nannies to have dinner." Song Ruoxi chuckled.
"Yes." The silkworm responded with his body.
"I will serve the princess again later." Ouyang, Liu, Canniang and others retreated, and the fragrant and mint that had been eaten after dinner came in to serve.
After dinner, Ouyang learned that Song Ruoxi had taken a shower and changed clothes and went to bed, but he did not come in to serve him. He returned to Zhongyuan, and the county lord Zhaoping was still waiting for her to reply.
"Although the princess is a little younger, she has a good appearance and a harmonious personality. There is no mistake in etiquette." Ouyang's impression of Song Ruoxi was very good.
The Zhaoping County Lord was happy first, then worried again, and sighed: "She is only fifteen years old, she is too young, and her body has not grown yet, and she can't get a child for at least two or three years. Hua'er is a stubborn person. Not to mention a concubine, she refuses to even have a wife. Those people are eyeing her. The eldest has three sons, the second has two sons and one daughter, and the third and fourth have one son and one daughter. Hua'er's offspring is a big problem!"
"It's a matter of time for the little master to marry a wife. Madam, don't be anxious. The princess will give you a few big fat grandsons." Ouyang looked at her and lowered her eyes. "I will go beyond my wife and say something more. No matter how many of these concubines are born, it's not as good as the one who is born. If the little master doesn't let the concubines be born, it will save you the troubles in the future."
County Lord Zhaoping remembered the years of open and secret struggles, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes. Without a concubine, there would be no concubine son, and without a concubine, there would be no trouble, and she would not live so hard and live so tiring. She sighed and said, "The banquet ahead is almost over. Go back to Dongyuan, Hua'er must have something to ask you."
"I took my leave." Ouyang bowed his knees and bowed, took three steps back, and turned around and left.
Not long after Ouyang returned to Dongyuan, Ye Shuhua came back, "Wuhan, junior brother, Xi'er, Yingying, how is the princess?"
He changed four titles in one breath and then used the right title. Ouyang couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, little master, princess, everything is fine."
Ye Shuhua waited for Ouyang to explain in detail, but when she knew that she sent him with one sentence, she was stunned and asked, "Princess, what do you want to bring to me?"
"The princess didn't let the servants lead the conversation."
Ye Shuhua looked disappointed.
"My little master, I'll get married after waiting for more than ten days. What do the princess say? Wouldn't it be better to tell you in person?" Ouyang said.
Ye Shuhua's face turned slightly red, and he looked at Shichenzhong, "It's already seventeen days, and there are still eleven days."
Ouyang glanced at Shichenzhong, it was already past midnight, and smiled and said, "It's not too late, it's time for me to rest."
It was late at night, and everything in Yingcheng was silent.
It was getting bright and it was raining. The rain hit the banana leaves in the yard, making a crackling sound. Song Ruoxi was woken up, lifted the curtain, got out of bed, walked to the window, pushed open the wooden window, a cold wind mixed with rain, and reached out to the window to catch the rain.
The silkworm, who was watching at night, heard the sound and saw her standing in the wind. She walked over, closed the window, and said angrily: "Miss, the wind and rain are cold, don't be naughty, just freeze carefully!"
"The sky is not beautiful, I originally thought I would go on a walk on the street today." Song Ruoxi curled his lips.
The silkworm took a look at her and said, "Miss, you are a bride waiting to marry. You don't want to go anywhere if you don't leave your home these days."
Song Ruoxi pursed her lips. She was no different from the imperial palace of Min Kingdom. After all, she was trapped in a high wall and could not move forward.
After breakfast, Shangguan Moxun and the other four came to visit Song Ruoxi.
Shangguan Mo asked and greeted him, holding the tea cup and drinking leisurely.
Tuo Yan was still hungover, half-squinted and sat in a drowsy chair.
Seeing that both of them were not speaking, Mr. Xie had to stand up and said, "In terms of etiquette, the lower officials will discuss with the etiquette officials here. Please rest assured, Princess."
"I have nothing to worry about when I have Master Xie to check." Song Ruoxi sat behind the screen, looking at the blurry figure and said lightly.
No one was talking in the hall, and there was no sound.
After a long period of dismay, Zhang Shaoqing smiled and said, "The emperor will not disturb the princess' rest."
"Let's walk slowly." Song Ruoxi didn't leave any guests.
The four of them stood up and left.
Two more days later, a guest came to Fengyiyuan.
Hearing the news, Song Ruoxi greeted him, "San Uncle, you are here."
When he entered the room, Ji Wei pointed to the two women who came with him and said, "This is green sleeves, this is red silk."
"I wish you a blessing to the girl, my daughter will be blessed." The two knelt down and kowtowed.
"Get up." Song Ruoxi raised his hand. Neither Cannibal nor Xiang Xiu got married. She needed two married women.
"You retreat first." Ji Wei sent the two of them away, took out several land deeds, house deeds and servants' sales deeds. "I bought three shops, four farms, a mountain in Zhanzhou, and a thousand acres of fertile land in Fuzhou. I have arranged all of them for you. When the year is over, I will ask them to come and see you."
"I'll bother my third uncle." Song Ruoxi took the stack of paper.
"Xiao Xier and third uncle should not be so polite." Ji Wei smiled, "Last night, I had met my niece and son-in-law, and I will stay to watch the ceremony."
The uncle and nephew talked for a while, and Ji Wei said goodbye and left.
