Chapter 450 Wedding Day
Wei Qingwan finally ignored Yun’s advice and borrowed money from Bai.
Hearing that Mrs. Yun lost her temper and wanted to punish Wei Qingwan by kneeling down, Mrs. Bai, who learned the news, ran to Shou'an Hall to report to the old man and the old lady. The old man and the old lady came to stop Wei Qingwan from being punished.
Because Wei Qingwan was going to marry into Prince Yu's palace, the Wei family couldn't afford to have to deal with all the trouble at this time.
Moreover, although Mrs. Wei felt that something was wrong with what Wei Qingwan did, he still supported it. After all, he also hoped that his granddaughter would be favored in Prince Yu's palace.
In the end, Yun had no choice but to let it go.
Not long after, the two thousand taels of silver notes passed into Wei Ruo's hands.
Wei Ruo looked at the banknote in his hand and felt a little funny for a moment.
When she deliberately set a sky-high price for the ointment, she just wanted to keep Wei Qingwan out of it and make her feel uncomfortable for a while. Unexpectedly, she actually made the money in the end, and it also caused a dispute between Yun and Wei Qingwan.
Wei Ruo didn't know how to evaluate this matter for a while. Wei Qingwan seemed to be becoming more and more paranoid. This was completely different from her image of being weak but kind and even a bit of a virgin in the original work.
Wei Ruo was thinking about it when someone from outside invited Wei Ruo to the front yard.
Today is the day for the Ninth Prince to appoint someone, and Wei Ruode has to go take a look.
Arriving in the front yard, Wei Ruo saw that the huge courtyard was filled with boxes of all sizes, several times more than the last betrothal gift sent by the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
The palace servant presented the list to Wei Ruo.
Two hundred taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, sixty horses, one gold teapot, two silver teapots, two silver basins, one thousand pieces of silk and satin, twenty pairs of armor, twenty pieces of jade, four handles of Ruyi jade, A set of dragon and phoenix Chengxiang enamel basins and several calligraphy and paintings by famous people.
The betrothal gifts given to princes and concubines by the royal family were all regulated, and presumably the betrothal gifts received by the principal concubines of Prince Yu and Prince Jing were also like this.
It's just that this is the first time that the Zhongyi Mansion, which has declined, has seen such a battle.
As a result, everyone from the old man Wei to the servants in the mansion saw it with bright eyes.
Wei Ruo looked at the betrothal gifts piled up in the room calmly.
The wedding date was set on the eighth day of May, which was the date that the Xuanping Marquis Mansion had set with her.
The days have not changed, but the person she wants to marry has changed.
This wedding date is a bit early, even earlier than the wedding dates of the Sixth and Seventh Princes. However, considering the special physical condition of the Ninth Prince, he may not be able to last for such a long time. According to the news revealed in the palace, the Emperor arranged this marriage with the intention of celebrating it, so It is also reasonable to put his marriage before other princes.
The only thing that was unreasonable was that he chose a woman like her, who had the fate of a husband, for a wedding.
If the Ninth Prince is really short-lived, he is also a good marriage partner.
Firstly, marrying into the royal family does not have to worry about serving his parents-in-law;
secondly, after his death, he will not be involved in the dispute over the heirloom, and no one will specifically target his widow;
thirdly, as a royal concubine, his status is not low. , and enjoying the salary and silver from the court, having no worries about food and clothing, and being able to buy various properties outside openly, no one can care about it.
But so far, Wei Ruo doesn't know what kind of character this Ninth Prince is, and why someone who didn't appear in the original book appears in her life.
She always felt that this matter was not simple, so she could not simply and easily conclude that marrying the Ninth Prince meant marrying a dying person.
But this was a marriage granted by the emperor, so how could she escape? How could she defeat the imperial court? Not long after Wei Ruo arrived in the front yard, Mrs. Bai also came. Seeing the good things in the room, Mrs. Bai's eyes lit up.
"There are so many good things. These silks and satins are not available to ordinary people, right? Is this Ruyi a blood jade?"
Although Bai's family is rich, she has never seen these things given by the royal family. When I saw the betrothal gift sent to Wei Ruo from the palace, I was a little dazzled.
Bai walked up to Wei Ruo and smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed: "Ruo'er's niece is really lucky."
Wei Ruo glanced at Mr. Bai indifferently and did not answer.
Bai's expression suddenly became awkward, her smile stiffened, and she kept cursing Wei Ruo in her heart.
Wei Qingruo is such a bastard! I haven’t become a princess yet! Just learn to show off with her!
Not long after, Mrs. Mo also came. Looking at the house full of betrothal gifts, Mrs. Mo's expression also changed, but she didn't show it as obviously as Mrs. Bai.
She walked up to Wei Ruo and expressed her congratulations to Wei Ruo in a gentle voice: "Congratulations Ruo'er." "
Thank you, auntie." Wei Ruo replied politely.
Bai's face looked even more ugly. Jian Hozi was so cold to her, yet so polite to her sister-in-law. He was clearly slapping her in the face!
Wei Qingwan only arrived a moment later than Mr. Mo.
Looking at the dazzling array of betrothal gifts in the room, Wei Qingwan's eyes darkened but she quickly stopped them, and did not show any obvious envy like the others.
At this time, Mrs. Bai saw Wei Qingwan. She walked quickly towards Wei Qingwan and held Wei Qingwan's hand enthusiastically: "Wanwan, you are here, come and see your sister's betrothal gift! This royal gift is given to the prince. There are regulations for the betrothal gifts for concubines. Generally, the amount for the concubine is half the amount for the concubine, so looking at your sister, you probably know what your betrothal gift is like, and it is probably about half less than this."
Bai His words made Wei Qingwan, who had just put away his displeasure, have a thin layer of frost on his face again.
Bai's smile was still as bright as a flower: "Logically speaking, the sixth prince is older than the ninth prince, so the sixth prince's marriage should come first, but this time the palace arranged the ninth prince's marriage first, presumably because he was worried about the ninth prince. Are you in good health?"
"No matter what, I was a little too rushed on the eighth day of May, and now everyone in the house is busy with your sister's marriage. I guess they won't be able to take care of you before your sister gets married. "
Wei Qingwan glanced at Wei Ruo with cold eyes.
Wei Ruo chose to ignore the look Wei Qingwan looked at her.
Whether she is dissatisfied or angry, she has to endure it and have the ability to talk to the person who decided this day.
###
The first day of the exam will be held on the ninth day of March.
Uncle Zhongyi's house was prepared to prepare. Early in the morning, the old lady went to the ancestral hall to burn incense and worship her ancestors, asking them to bless Wei Yichen to go to high school.
Everyone in the Wei family, including Wei Ruo, came to the door to see Wei Yichen off.
Before leaving, Mrs. Yun seemed to have thousands of words to say to Wei Yichen, but when the words came to her lips, there was only one sentence left: "Just do your best."
Wei Yichen nodded, and then glanced at Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan and Wei Yilin behind Yun.
There was no obvious expression on Wei Ruo's face. Regarding the fact that Wei Yichen was going to take the scientific examination, she acted very calmly. It seemed that this was an extremely normal thing for her and was not worthy of her concern.
