Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

When Aunt Xue heard the news at first, she still couldn't believe it. When she came back to her senses, she quickly asked, "Who is here, but what did you say? Where's your uncle?"

"The old man is with you!" Tong Xi said, "The little girl said that it was the chief steward of the palace who came, so she didn't say anything."

"Which palace is it the head steward?" Mrs. Wang, who was sitting beside her, suddenly felt her heart skip a beat and couldn't help asking.

Although the Xue family seems to have contact with the palace because of the spice business, it must be impossible to alarm the nobles and send people here.Concubine Xiande is more likely.Maybe, is this the purpose of her marriage?

——Although the news came earlier that many concubines in the palace were grounded, the Jia family didn't take it seriously.After all, as a concubine, as long as she is favored by the emperor, it is not a problem to be confined.And they have a kind of blind confidence in their eldest daughter.

So if it is said that Yuan Chun has successfully lifted the confinement, it is not impossible to send someone to pass the decree.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang's heart became more active.Just now Aunt Xue had some refusals, but now that the order from the palace came, her attitude might change immediately.

"This servant doesn't dare to inquire about it." Tong Xi said, "It's just that they are here to announce the decree. The uncle has already prepared an incense table, and he said that the whole family should go out to receive the decree. The wife also changed clothes, so go over quickly."

"The whole family is going?" Aunt Xue couldn't help frowning.Although she still doesn't know what it is, but she has something to do with the palace, which always makes her feel uneasy.

Mrs. Wang said, "Tongxi, go and ask the person who delivered the message, what is the expression on the person who announced the decree. If it is good news, the other party's attitude will not be bad if you want to come."

Tongxi said, "It's Li Nu who is next to the uncle, wait for the slaves to ask."

Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "No, you call someone in."

After a while Li Nu came in and described the situation in detail.Mrs. Wang said, "It sounds like the person who came here was very polite. It must be not a bad thing. My sister should change her clothes and go there."

Aunt Xue nodded, looked at Mrs. Wang again, and said, "My sister has more experience than me in such matters, so it's better to go."

"It's natural." Mrs. Wang said, "Since it's a good thing, I can't help but be a little bit happy. Besides, I haven't experienced the matter of passing the decree in the palace, except when our empress was concubine."

Concubine Yuan was pointed out without any trace.Aunt Xue was thoughtful when she heard the words, and she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.If this person is really sent by Concubine Yuan, can the Xue family still refuse?But if you can't refuse, and the county king...

If you can't get married, don't become enemies!

Thinking about it this way made me even more flustered.It's just that at this point, there is no other way, but to encourage and hold back, change clothes and make up.

The two of them went to change their clothes, and at the same time, they sent someone to the girls to pass the message, so that everyone came to receive the order.

When the girls heard about this, they were also very surprised.They were young, so they guessed a lot about it, so it was inevitable that they guessed Yuan Chun's head.But Baochai just laughed and said nothing when he heard the words.

Unlike Aunt Xue, she would not be fooled by a few words, but felt that no matter what it was, it must have nothing to do with Yuan Chun.After all, as a concubine, even if there is a decree, it is impossible to make such a big battle for the whole family to listen to the decree.That is... an imperial decree!

The girls went hand in hand to meet in Aunt Xue's yard, and then came to the main room together.

The incense table in the courtyard had already been prepared, the servants were all standing in a row in the courtyard, Xue Pan and Bo Yang were talking with the servants who thought they came from the palace.Seeing that everyone has arrived, Xue Pan reminded in a low voice, and the servant immediately stood up with a smile, "Our family will not waste time, and announced the decree first, so that you will not feel uneasy."

After speaking, he took the imperial decree and stood in front of the incense table, and everyone knelt down to listen to the decree.

This imperial decree is written in parallel, with many beautiful words, and it is impossible to describe them one by one. It is only pointed out at the end. Give Hejun Wang as his concubine, and tell the Ministry of Rites and the inner government to choose a good day and auspicious day to marry her.

After the holy decree was read, the people kneeling on the ground had their own thoughts.Naturally, the Xue family can only be happy. Although this marriage has already had a shadow, no one thought that He Junwang would be so generous and invite the imperial decree to marry him.This is a great thing to honor the ancestors and make the lintel shine!

And to put it bluntly, the daughter of the Xue family married into the county prince's mansion, which is a high climb.But now with this imperial decree, even the noble lady with the best background in the clan would not dare to underestimate her, and would say a few good words.If anyone thinks this marriage is not good, don't they think that His Majesty is wrong?

As for the Jia family, the mood is more complicated.The three girls were about the same age as Baochai, and when they thought that she had been depended on for life, they naturally felt somewhat sour and complicated.After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, Baochai's status is not comparable to them.

Mrs. Wang's expression is more exciting.

After all, she thought it was Yuan Chun who proposed the marriage between Baoyu and Baochai, but she didn't know that it was the intention of marriage, but there was nothing about her Baoyu.Moreover, the imperial decree did not come from Fengzao Palace, but was issued by the emperor himself!

If she was not still in front of the crowd, barely able to hold back the expression on her face, she might be about to change color right now.

After announcing the decree, Xue Pan took over the decree, and the servant smiled and said, "Young lady is very happy, congratulations."

Xue Pan held the imperial decree in his hand and said, "Thanks to you. I should have personally entertained you, but this imperial decree still needs to be sent to the ancestral tablet to comfort the ancestors. This..."

"Don't bother." The waiter said, "Just a cup of tea is enough. We still have some chores at home, so we can't stay for long. We have to go now."

"It's good to stay here for a glass of water and wine." Aunt Xue also hurried forward and said.

For her, this matter is a turning point, not only the hidden dangers on the Jia family side have been completely eradicated, but also the county king's side has been completely settled down, which can be regarded as a great good thing, so she naturally smiles and is full of joy.

The servant declined several times, and then he was accompanied by Bo Yang to the door, took a bulging purse, and went back to the palace.

When Bo Yang returned to the main room, everyone was congratulating Baochai.No matter what she thinks in her heart, she can't run away as the princess of the county, so naturally no one dares to neglect her.Even Mrs. Wang calmed down and said a few words of blessing in a pleasant manner.

Turning around to talk to Aunt Xue in private, she complained, "My sister is really, if you said that Bao girl has already settled the matter with the county king, I am a sister, wouldn't you be happy? Of course And I won't think about anything else. You're good, you kept it like an iron bucket, and you've made us a bad person inside and out. Even the empress in the palace was punished by His Majesty because of this, and she's being grounded! "

When Xue mentioned this, Aunt Xue did feel a little guilty, "At that time, the matter had not been settled, so how could I talk about it everywhere? If it didn't work out in the end, Baochai's reputation would be ruined. That's why I didn't dare to say it. It's not intentional concealment."

Mrs. Wang continued, "It's fine for others, our family is flesh and blood, don't you even trust me? Well, now that the matter has come to an end, I have nothing to say."

After Aunt Xue said all the good things, she reluctantly turned around and talked about mutual support among relatives. It was not until it was getting late that she left with the girls of Jia's family.

Their departure did not affect the carnival of the Xue family.On the contrary, because all the guests have left, Aunt Xue was more open-minded, and immediately asked Tonggui to inform that everyone's monthly salary will be doubled this month, and no matter where they are on business today, everyone is allowed to rest for half a day and go to the government office at night. Have a banquet here, let everyone have fun.

Bo Yang had a heart and sent someone to pick up Daiyu.

Hearing the good news, Daiyu was also full of joy. On the way back, she even thought about how many things she could pick out from the bottom of the box to add to Baochai's box.

By the time her carriage stopped at the door, the Xue family, who had been busy all afternoon, had already prepared the table for the dinner.The masters have a table, placed in the main room, and the servants are placed in the yard.As for those who are inconvenient to come over, they can eat at their own place without any delay.

As soon as Daiyu entered the room, she sat next to Baochai and joked a few words in a low voice. Seeing that Baochai blushed as if she was about to bleed, she couldn't help saying, "This can be regarded as finding someone who can fix you. Our virtuous and dignified Miss Xue also blushes sometimes!"

Baochai sat here all afternoon, feeling joyful, fearful, and shy.

Everyone around her was happy about it, and she was naturally happy too.Think about the King Hejun I met before, no matter how he looked or how he talked, he was worthy of the word "beautiful man", and he was favored by his brothers, so there must be no mistake.However, an unmarried girl thinks that she will go to a strange place in the future, live with an unfamiliar person, and have a brand-new interpersonal relationship. While looking forward to it, she is naturally unavoidable.

Moreover, she can't tell anyone about this anxiety, she can only let them slowly ferment and brew in her heart.

I thought that when Daiyu came, she could always say a few words of her own, but she didn't know that the other party would make fun of her as soon as she came, Baochai finally couldn't hold back at this time, and spat at her, "Just wait!"

Making fun of himself now, when he gets married in the future, let's see what kind of situation she will be in!

Daiyu said, "Then you will have to wait."

There were still some things to say later, but on a good day like today, she didn't say anything to spoil the fun.

But Baochai could hear it, and she was afraid that she still couldn't let go of Baoyu, so she asked, "What do you mean? Could it be that after leaving Jia's house, you don't even have the slightest heart to live like this?"

"What does this have to do with the Jia family?" Daiyu said, "It just reminds me of my childhood."

When she was young, the scarlet-headed monk once said that if her parents couldn't let her go, the illness in her whole body would never be cured in a lifetime.

——If you want to be happy, unless you are never allowed to see crying from now on, except for your parents, all relatives and friends with other surnames will not be seen, so that you can live in peace in this life.

Originally, Daiyu listened to this sentence as a joke in her heart.

However, on that day, outside the gate of Shizhong Temple, Bo Yang said to her, "I hope you will always remember this sentence, and you will never cry again in your life, and be safe and sound", Daiyu was startled, maybe That is the fate that I cannot escape.
