Chapter 99 099 Wouldn't it be nice to just plan to find a son-in-law? ...

Xianyu never thought that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen would agree to her proposal just like that - come on, this is the legendary Fourth Master, when did he become so easy to talk to?

I'm afraid I met a fake one?

Because she was too shocked, Xianyu couldn't help but stare at the Fourth Prince for a little longer.

When the Fourth Prince saw Xianyu looking at him with her beautiful phoenix eyes, he blushed for a moment and felt like his heart was melting.

No, how could she be so cute? Even if I didn't hear her voice, I could guess what she was thinking. She must be thinking that he wouldn't agree to her so easily.

Hehe, you didn't expect it, did you? He just agreed.

Usually the more different you behave than usual, the more you can attract the other person's attention. The Fourth Prince used this trick to make his father look at him with new eyes. Now he found that the same trick worked on the Second Miss of the Wang Family.

But don’t be obsessed with me, I will definitely play with you.

Yinzhen always felt that what Xianyu had just said seemed like a joke.

First of all, this arranged marriage is a very serious matter. Even if you don’t want to, you must accept it once the order of arranged marriage comes down.

At that time, there was really no way to disobey the Emperor's wishes - the entire Qing Dynasty belonged to his Emperor's father, so naturally, whatever he said was the final word.

But it doesn't matter, he believes that he can definitely conquer her heart - maybe it's because she is too young that she has such a cute idea.

Pretending to be married but living their own lives is so cute. Does she think she is just playing house?

Anyway, no matter what, he would treat her well, very well, so well that she would forget that she had ever had such a lovely thought.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince was extremely confident that he could melt the ice and change Xianyu's mind. He never expected that such a simple thing would take him almost ten years - it really makes him shed tears just thinking about it.

This is a later story.

On this day, Xianyu and the Fourth Prince reached an agreement and prepared to use a fake marriage to fool Master Kang and fight against the pressure of being urged to get married. Sometimes, I really want to hug a well. As a girl, how can I escape the fate of being urged to get married in any era?

The good news is that the fourth uncle agreed to act with her, which means that the issue of marriage has been temporarily resolved.

Xianyu felt a little relieved and had no intention of chatting with the fourth uncle anymore, so she said goodbye to him directly, left the place where they met without looking back, returned to the Wang family, and did what she had to do.

Only the Fourth Prince was left standing there alone, and he stood there for a long time.

After a long while, he left with gnashing teeth - you little girl, you are so heartless. You just left like that, without asking a single question or saying a word of courtesy. You have such a cruel heart.

In this regard, Xianyu said that everyone is just a cooperative relationship. In simple terms, it is almost the same as colleagues, or the relationship is very ordinary and the feelings are very distant. If there is something to say, just talk about it and that's it. Of course, there is no need to be so enthusiastic.

Besides, she has things to do when she gets home.

Since only the second branch of their family was promoted and the first branch was not, there was quite a commotion at home for a while.

The main reason is that Feng Jieer's father, the eldest master of the Wang family, is constantly making trouble there.

It is just like the saying goes, the more incompetent a person is, the more he likes to make a fuss. Not only are he incompetent and playful, but he also has red eyes... This is really speechless.

When Xianyu rushed back to the Wang family, she saw the eldest master of the Wang family jumping and making a fuss in the courtyard of the old lady of the Wang family in the inner courtyard.

"Old lady! I just want to ask you, where has your heart gone? Why do you only raise the flag for the second family and not for us?"

It turned out that when Master Kang issued the decree, he only mentioned Wang Ziteng and the old lady of the Wang family. Originally, one more or one less house was not a big deal, but when the old lady of the Wang family accepted the decree, she did not mention the eldest house by the way, asking for a favor for them or something.

It’s not that she forgot, she just did it on purpose.

Because the old lady felt that there was nothing wrong with Wang Ziteng's family, the second branch of the Wang family, raising a flag. After all, their merits and abilities were there. Moreover, at her age, she actually knew the purpose of Master Kang's doing this - the old lady ate more salt than the average person ate rice, so how could she not know why Master Kang did this?

It’s over. The Emperor might have taken a fancy to their daughter Xian.

The good news is that it seems that His Majesty attaches great importance to Sister Xian.

The bad news is that if Sister Xian really marries into the royal family, she can only wish for good luck on her own.

At that time, even if she suffered any injustice there, her family probably wouldn't be able to help her.

When she thought of these things, Mrs. Wang felt upset and had no mood to ask for mercy on behalf of the eldest wife. She just kept asking for mercy.

Is that flag so easy to raise?

Now that's good, the second wife has raised the flag to send her daughter into the palace.

Do you guys in the first house also want to do this?

Haha, even if you want to do this, I won’t allow it.

I only have these two granddaughters. It’s not enough to let go of Sister Xian, do I also want Sister Feng?

I'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. As long as I'm alive, I won't let this happen.

The old lady of the Wang family became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, and she just wanted to take away the housekeeper's power from the eldest master of the Wang family.

But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back - it seemed that the person in charge of the Wang family's main house was no longer the eldest master of the Wang family, but Sister Feng.

That's alright, boss. Go ahead and make as much trouble as you want. It won't cause any trouble anyway.

The old lady of the Wang family calmly watched the eldest master of the Wang family go crazy, and directly ordered Feng Jieer and her stepmother Li not to care about him - "Let him drink himself to death."

Yes, the eldest master of the Wang family even brought a bottle of wine. It was obvious that he wanted to use the "raising the flag" incident as an excuse to cause a big commotion.

Think about it, he is a man in his forties, and he still plays such childish tricks. Sometimes I really find it funny.

Sure enough, the eldest master of the Wang family completely destroyed the last bit of mother-son relationship between him and the old lady of the Wang family.

Seeing this forty-year-old man like a piece of useless mud being twisted into a knot over a trivial matter and rolling on the ground, the old lady of the Wang family could not bear to watch it. She immediately sent someone to call Feng Jieer and said that she, the old lady, would have the final say on her marriage in the future.

Just find a son-in-law and be done with it.

The conditions don’t matter, but the person has to be honest, hardworking, and nice to Fengjie.

Anyway, a son-in-law who marries into the Wang family is equivalent to "marrying" into the Wang family. They will be a family in the future, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

After the old lady of the Wang family announced her decision that Feng Jieer would find a son-in-law to inherit the family business, the eldest master of the Wang family became even more upset.

What is Amomum villosum pig heart? This is it!

He knew the old lady didn't like him!

But he is not dead yet, so why let his daughter inherit the family business - and even find a son-in-law, he already has a son!

Even though he is a bastard, he is still a son!

No matter how capable Feng girl is, she is still a girl. What use can she be!

However, both the old lady of the Wang family and Feng Jieer ignored him, and the eldest master of the Wang family became more and more crazy. When he was making a fuss, another imperial edict arrived.

This time, there was no raising of the flag, but a direct notification to select concubines - Xianyu was thirteen years old this year, which just met the minimum requirements of the selection. Moreover, she was a girl from a new family of the Bordered White Banner, so her status as a candidate for this selection was simply perfect.

It can be said that it seemed as if all of this was tailor-made for her.

The purpose is to let her participate in this beauty pageant.

I spent so much time and effort but I don’t know who will benefit in the end.

Honestly, even though I said those princes weren’t that good looking in front of Fourth Master, in terms of looks, those princes were actually pretty good looking. Fourth Master could only be considered pretty compared to them. If I really had to point it out to him, it would be a bit embarrassing…

Xianyu watched the eldest master of the Wang family commit suicide every day, and thought about these trivial things at the same time. The day of the talent show soon arrived.

The first thing was to enter the palace from Shenwu Gate in a very ceremonial manner, riding on a mule cart specially sent by the palace.

Although it was not Xianyu's first time to enter the palace, this was her first time to take this route.

Well, the selection of concubines was, after all, a national event - all the girls of appropriate age in the banners had to participate, no matter how far away from the capital they were.

I heard that for those girls who live far away and whose family conditions are not that good, if they get sick or have any accidents on the way, then they will be "crying to the sky and the earth for help but no one will help" and they will die if they are unlucky.

In other words, what is more terrifying than death is being taken away by some officials or bandits.

Of course, these are just hearsay, and no one knows the truth of the matter.

Anyway, Xianyu doesn't have this worry or trouble.

Her family lived in the capital, so she had plenty of time to set off on the day of the selection. She didn't have to prepare in advance, and she didn't have to worry about rushing to the capital early in order not to be late and staying in an inn at her own expense... Anyway, she had at least two of the advantages of time, place, and people.

Well, it seems that in addition to the right time and place, she also seems to have the right people.

After all, Master Kang had done it so obviously. He was simply afraid that she wouldn't go, and that she would worry that she wouldn't be selected...

Well, Master Kong, thank you Ning for warming the four seasons.

It was a sunny day on the day of the beauty pageant. Xianyu was woken up early in the morning by Liu and others. She washed and dressed, got on the mule cart sent by the palace, and went straight to the Forbidden City.

This was her first time taking this route, and she felt different.

Perhaps she was also nervous because of the tense atmosphere in the whole family, or maybe she was simply not used to it. Anyway, Xianyu was not in a calm mood. Fortunately, her home was not far from the Forbidden City, so even if she was nervous, she could get there quickly.

When we arrived at the Shenwu Gate, there were already quite a few mule carts gathered there, all carrying the girls participating in this year's election.

As soon as Xianyu got off the car, she saw an acquaintance.

And more than one.

Jia Yuanchun would definitely participate in this kind of event of climbing up the social ladder in the universal value system. Although her family was not in the banner, it was unknown what tricks Grandmother Jia had secretly used to squeeze her into the selection team, which was really impressive.

Jia Yuanchun’s good sister Ulanara was also there. She was a typical Eight Banners girl, and from the Plain Yellow Banner. Her father was the Infantry Commander Fei Yanggu, and she was the designated candidate for the Fourth Prince’s wife—at least that was the case in history.

If the world hadn't collapsed too much, Xianyu would probably have become her sister in the future.

Although Xianyu had discussed the matter with the Fourth Prince on impulse that day, she actually thought that he looked like a nice person and should be able to take her in - her requirements were not high, a concubine or a concubine, or even the title of a princess would be fine.

As long as she can find a place to lie down, her position doesn't matter.

If it weren't for the fact that it was so difficult to survive in the backyard of this fourth uncle without a status, she would even think that it didn't matter if she had no status.

Of course, this is impossible.

Even if she didn't care, the entire Wang family couldn't help but care. After all, their family was an old and aristocratic family in Jinling, and they still had to save face, after all, there were so many people in the family.
