Under the guard of more than a dozen soldiers of Prince Qi's Mansion, a carriage stopped firmly outside the gate of Tao Mansion.
Not long after, with the support of Dong'er, the close maid, Su Yao slowly got out of the carriage, and a group of female family members of the Tao family who had been waiting at the gate of the Tao Mansion stepped forward immediately, and fell to their knees in an instant, shouting in unison:
"See Princess Qi."
Su Yao saw a silver-haired old lady kneeling in front of her. Knowing that she was Tao Lu's wife, Chen, and Tao Han's grandmother, she quickly stepped forward to help her up: "Old man People don't need to be so polite, Miss Tao and I are sisters, you are her grandmother, so naturally you are my elder, how can I, a junior, bear such a big gift."
Then Su Yao said to the women of the Tao family behind Chen: "You don't have to be so polite. It's cold on the ground. Get up."
Seeing that Su Yao not only behaves dignifiedly, but also speaks softly and gracefully, the women of the Chen family and the Tao family feel a little relieved.
Everyone in the Tao Mansion knew about Tao Han's engagement with Qi Wang Xiao Jie, and among them, either they had played with Tao Han since they were young, or they had watched Tao Han grow up, so naturally they all hoped that Tao Han would live a happy life after marriage. perfect harmony.
But they also know that Tao Han's future husband, King Xiao Jie of Qi, already has a concubine Su Yao who is being married by a Ming media. Tao Han's status will only be lower than Su Yao after marriage. Han married in the past and inevitably suffered a lot, which of course they didn't want to see.
Fortunately, now Su Yao looks gentle and kind, not like someone who would bully Tao Han, so they naturally relaxed a lot.
Surrounded by many female relatives of the Tao family, Su Yao quickly followed them to the inner house in the backyard.
After a lot of refusal and humility, Su Yao and all the female family members of the Tao family finally sat down as the guest of honor. After a while of pleasantries, Su Yao explained her reason for coming. She came to discuss with the Tao family about her Husband Xiao Jie married Tao Han.
According to the etiquette system, although it is up to Qi Wang Xiaojie to decide who he wants to marry, but whether he can enter the door is decided by Su Yao, who is the concubine.
Xiao Jie and Tao Han made a marriage contract early, but because of the sudden death of Xiao Jie's biological mother, Wang Guifei, according to the etiquette system, Xiao Jie was not allowed to marry a wife and take concubines within three months. Tao Han's marriage has been delayed again and again.
Now that Xiao Jie has been reassigned as Captain of Sili, he can stay in the capital for a long time in the future, so his marriage with Tao Han should naturally be put on the agenda.
Although from a woman's point of view, Su Yao certainly doesn't want to share her husband with other women, but she also knows that as Xiao Jie, she cannot be the only wife, and the last time she had a conversation with Xiao Jie in the carriage The heart-to-heart conversation also made her understand that the trend of seizing the heirloom is intensifying. If her husband fails, the whole family may die in the future without a place to bury her.
After figuring out these joints, Su Yao naturally put aside all the jealousy of her little daughter's family, and only wanted to help her husband win the East Palace.
She knows that the Tao family with strong financial resources is undoubtedly a great help for Xiao Jie on the way to win the heir, and the Tao family's perseverance for Xiao Jie when Xiao Jie lost power also moved her. In addition, the relationship between her and Tao Han Su Yao still agrees with this marriage.
Su Yao also understands the importance of this marriage. Once the Qi Palace and the Tao family marry, the interests of the two families will be closely linked by marriage, and they will share weal and woe. The Tao family will also fully support Xiao Yu went to fight for the crown prince.
As soon as Su Yao clarified the purpose of coming, many people in the Tao family immediately showed nervousness on their faces.
Even though Mrs. Chen, who has always been sophisticated, was still talking and laughing on the surface, there was a trace of tension and anticipation inadvertently in her eyes.
Although Tao Han is the daughter of a merchant, the Tao family is also the number one business family in Daning. The head of the family, Tao Lu, is the Marquis of Guannei bestowed by the emperor, and Tao Han is Tao Lu's granddaughter, representing the face of the Tao family. Well, they naturally don't want Tao Han's status to be too low in Prince Qi's mansion. In this way, not only Tao Han will be wronged, but also the Tao family's face will be damaged.
"Since the concubine is so honest, I dare to ask, what kind of status will His Royal Highness Qi Wang and the concubine plan to give her after our family Han'er marries into Prince Qi's mansion?"
In fact, Su Yao had already discussed this issue with Xiao Jie in the boudoir last night. Su Yao's opinion was to give Tao Han the status of Liangdi. Although she and Tao Han are like sisters, generally speaking, only daughters of aristocratic families Only then can she be established as the main concubine and side concubine. If Tao Han is given the position of side concubine, Su Yao is worried that it will cause criticism and bring some bad negative effects to Xiao Jie.
But Xiao Jie insisted on giving Tao Han the title of side concubine. His reason was very simple. When he lost power, the Tao family and Tao Han still would never leave him. Han deserves the title of concubine.
Since Xiao Jie insisted so much, Su Yao followed his wishes. Anyway, she also wished Tao Han well.
Su Yao smiled: "I have already discussed with His Royal Highness Qi Wang about the status. According to the etiquette system, Miss Tao should be Liangdi."
Mrs. Chen and all the female members of the Tao family nodded slightly, apparently satisfied with Liang Di's status. After all, according to the Daning ritual system, the main concubine is the main wife, and the side concubine is the second wife. Although Liang Di is a concubine, she is also a concubine. The one with the highest median score, if the king of Qi can really become emperor in the future, then Tao Han will be one of the nine concubines, which is already very honorable for a merchant's daughter.
"However..." Su Yao smiled slightly, and then changed the topic, "His Royal Highness, considering the Tao family and Miss Tao's unwavering friendship with him when he lost power, decided to make an exception and give Miss Tao the title of side concubine."
As soon as Su Yao said this, all the female family members of the Tao family showed joy in an instant. They even wondered if they heard it wrong. Even Mrs. Chen's face almost turned into a flower with a smile, and even the wrinkles were stretched. few.
Although the side concubine is only one rank higher than Liangdi, as the second wife, her status in the palace is much higher. If Xiao Jie becomes emperor in the future, Tao Han will be eligible to be among the four wives (guifei, Shufei, xianfei, concubine Xian, etc.) Defei), one of the respected status.
All of a sudden, everyone in the Tao family was grateful for the extraordinary kindness of Qi Wang Xiao Jie, and also grateful for the support of Su Yao, the concubine.
Su Yao's temperament is like this. She can give people extra grace, but she will let the other party know that this is an extraordinary reward from her husband, not what the other party deserves.
Once the most critical issue of status has been settled, the rest of the issues will naturally be easier to discuss.
Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment, but still looked at Su Yao sincerely, and said in a sincere tone: "Princess Tao Han, this child has lost his mother since he was a child, and he has been taking care of him since he was a child. He has lived at such an old age , I don’t have any wish, I just hope that when she gets married, she can also be beautiful, and she can be transported to Qi Wang’s mansion with eight sedan chairs and drums and gongs to get married, I wonder if it’s possible?”
Although Mrs. Chen asked this question with a smile, there was a trace of uneasiness in her eyes.
Because generally speaking, according to the matchmaker's words, marriage in a bridal sedan chair, and marriage in the hall are the treatment only for the official wife who is married by the Ming matchmaker. The concubine's room is usually sent to the mansion through a small door in a bridal sedan chair at night.
But it doesn't mean that the concubine's room must not be married, the key is to see if the wife nods.It's just that for the sake of their own face and status, most of the regular wives will not agree.
But Su Yao has her own attitude and mind. Tao Han is her good sister, and the Tao family is so important to her husband. She can give the Tao family and Tao Han the utmost favor and respect, making the Tao family even more devoted to her husband .
"When His Royal Highness Qi lost power back then, the Tao family and Ms. Tao could never leave His Highness when he lost power. Because of this friendship, I can agree to Mrs. Chen's request for my husband. Not only that, His Highness King Qi also I will marry Miss Tao with three ceremonies."
The three rites are asking for names, accepting disadvantages and welcoming in person, which is a simplification of the six rites. This is also the maximum concession and compromise Su Yao can make as a wife.
Naturally, the Tao family will not make further progress. On the contrary, they are all grateful to Su Yao's heart, and even more admire the foresight of the patriarch Tao Lu. If they had really abandoned Qi Wang Xiao Jie in a moment of confusion, where would the Tao family be today.
Mrs. Chen smiled and took out a gift list from her sleeve, handed it to Su Yao with both hands, and said with a smile: "This is the dowry prepared by our Tao family for Han'er's wedding. The princess can take a look at it first to see if there is anything missing. What."
Dong'er, who was standing by the side, stuck out her tongue quietly, and couldn't help guessing in her heart that the dowry prepared by the richest Tao family in the world for Miss Tao's family was supposed to be very rich. I'm afraid that the gold, silver and jewelry alone would not be enough to fill a room. .
Su Yao didn't reach out to pick up the gift list handed over by Mrs. Chen, but shook her head slightly and said: "I have discussed with His Royal Highness Qi Wang, we don't want any dowry from the Tao family in Qi Wangfu."
As soon as this remark came out, not only the female family members of the Tao family, but even Su Yao's personal maid, Dong'er, were stunned.
What's wrong with the princess, the Tao family's dowry is the most valuable dowry in the world, and she turned it away?
(Tired, there will be another chapter tonight, everyone, go to sleep after reading it)
Not long after, with the support of Dong'er, the close maid, Su Yao slowly got out of the carriage, and a group of female family members of the Tao family who had been waiting at the gate of the Tao Mansion stepped forward immediately, and fell to their knees in an instant, shouting in unison:
