Chapter 8 Goodbye, Prime Minister's Mansion
forecourt.
Pei and Jiang Yunyao were chatting animatedly with the wives and daughters of officials in the front hall.
"Alas, all these years, I have always treated Ruo'er as my own daughter. Today she is getting married, and I feel so sad!"
After Pei finished her "sincere and heartfelt" words, she pretended to wipe away her non-existent tears, and at an angle that no one else could see, the corners of her lips curved up.
You bitch, it would be best if you failed to get married and were buried alive. Then, all the property in that yard would be back in her hands.
Haha! Even God is helping me.
On the other side, Jiang Yunyao also showed an appearance of reluctance, and told those young ladies from official families how "sisterly" she and Jiang Ruo were.
In fact, those young ladies from official families understood everything, they were just too lazy to expose Jiang Yunyao.
Who doesn’t have some dirty things going on in their backyard?
If the concubine took the throne and it weren't for the idea of getting married for good luck, how would anyone remember that there was a legitimate daughter, Jiang Ruo, in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Suddenly, these wives of officials and noble ladies had an illusion that they could empathize with the situation.
Their mood gradually changed...
The ladies were wondering, if one day they were killed by the concubines in their homes, would their daughters' fate be worse than Jiang Ruo's?
For example: marrying an old man as a concubine, or becoming a concubine to a playboy.
The noble ladies thought: We must keep an eye on our father's concubines and never let them cause trouble again. Life will be too difficult without our mother's support.
The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became a little subtle...
Pei and Jiang Yunyao also felt the strange gaze in their eyes.
Therefore, the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.
One of the ladies was more tactful and took the lead in breaking the strange atmosphere. "Alright, let's go see the bride. Don't you still need to add makeup to Princess An?"
As she spoke, the lady cast a warning look at the women.
This is a happy event, not that happy event. Don't act like you're gloating.
Besides, although Jiang Ruo was there to bring good luck to His Royal Highness Prince An, she was still the legitimate Princess An.
Pei quickly took over the conversation, "Ruo'er should be wearing her wedding dress by now. Let's go and take a look."
A group of people walked towards the Liuli Courtyard.
Several wives of officials kept a little distance from Pei and gave their daughters a few more words of advice.
When they arrived at the Glazed Courtyard, they happened to see the wife of the Duke's Mansion combing and tying Jiang Ruo's hair.
The smile on Pei's face did not reach her eyes, and she held the handkerchief tightly in her hand.
She almost forgot that the lady of the Duke's Mansion and Nangong Li were once good friends!
The other ladies looked at each other, speechless.
Mrs. Song's eyes were gentle, and she kept saying, "Combing your hair thoroughly will keep you rich and prosperous..."
Jiang Ruo had already learned from her vague memory that the Duke's wife and the original owner's mother were good friends in private.
"Thank you, Madam Guogong, for tying Ruo'er's hair!"
The Duke's wife held her hand, her mind racing. "Ruo'er, if you have any troubles in the future, come find me at the Duke's Mansion."
The position of the Duke's Mansion in the court is very delicate and it has always remained neutral. If it weren't for Jiang Ruo's marriage, she would never have set foot in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Pei and the ladies slowly walked into the room, bowing one by one and saying, "Greetings, Madam Duke."
The Duke's wife nodded slightly, and the moment she saw Pei, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Bitch, are you satisfied?
Jiang Yunyao was very jealous of Jiang Ruo's beauty, but she felt secretly happy when she thought about going to bring good luck to Xiao Chengjin.
After several noble ladies paid their respects to the Duke's wife, they presented Jiang Ruo with their own gifts and said a few words of blessing.
She has bright eyes and a charming look, what a stunning beauty that is enough to captivate the whole country.
Everyone thought: It is really unfair for Jiang Ruo to help His Royal Highness Prince An get married. Prime Minister Jiang has such a cruel heart!
After all, even though their father did not hold a high official position, he did not stand up in the court to let his daughter go to the palace to get married.
At this moment, the expressions on their faces included worry, regret...all kinds of complex expressions intertwined together.
I felt inexplicably sorry for Jiang Ruo.
Jiang Ruo was a little puzzled. You guys are so serious about it, but you still can't do it.
"Thank you!" Jiang Ruo smiled softly, her brows revealing a hint of joy.
Jiang Ruo's smile infected everyone, and their mood gradually improved.
The situation at this moment made the slaves hiding outside the door and watching the fun of it look confused.
There is no girl in the world who would be willing to marry a living dead person!
Why does this young lady seem so happy?
Must be crazy.
————
Although it was a wedding to bring good luck, the people in Prince An's Mansion attached great importance to this wedding and the bride reception was carried out according to the highest standards.
At this time, many people had already gathered on the road to pick up the bride to watch the fun.
They discussed this a lot.
Some people even said that the Prime Minister's daughter must have been knocked unconscious and stuffed into the sedan chair.
After the matchmaker entered the glass courtyard, she shouted at the top of her voice, "Princess An, the bridal sedan has arrived!"
The matchmaker's voice made the atmosphere in Liuliyuan a little subtle.
Jiang Ruo raised the corners of her lips and nodded to the ladies, "Mammy, Dongxue, let's go!"
Goodbye, Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Aunt Liu covered Jiang Ruo with a red veil with tears in her eyes, and the three of them, the master and the servant, followed the matchmaker out of the Liuli Courtyard.
From beginning to end, Pei and Jiang Yunyao did not say a word.
After leaving the Liuli Courtyard, the fortune teller asked tremblingly, "Princess An, are you still going to say goodbye to the Prime Minister?"
The Prime Minister asked Princess An to go and get married, she must hate the Prime Minister in her heart!
Jiang Ruo said in a cold voice, "No need."
When a girl bids farewell to her parents before getting married, she is thanking her parents for their kindness in raising her.
Is Jiang Qinian worthy of it?
The matchmaker breathed a sigh of relief and her face was filled with smiles again.
Housekeeper Ji, who was not far away, looked at Jiang Ruo in her wedding dress and quietly wiped away his tears.
Madam, the eldest daughter has grown up safely, and it is time for me to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Steward Ji was once a down-and-out scholar. When he was at his most destitute, Nangong Li, who was still unmarried, came to his aid.
He volunteered to be a slave, and Nangong Li never took him into slavery.
The Duke's wife walked out of the Glass Courtyard first with a cold face, and the other ladies followed her out.
Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Princess An, please get into the sedan chair!" The matchmaker thought, Miss Jiang behaved so docilely, she wouldn't cause any trouble on the way, right?
Jiang Ruo took a deep breath to ease her tension.
She is a little uncomfortable with such a formal arrangement!
With Dongxue's support, Jiang Ruo stepped into the wedding sedan.
If you take someone's money, you have to do a good job to bring good luck to them. When Xiao Chengjin wakes up and divorces him, you can extort one third of his property from him, hehe!
Outside the wedding sedan, there were loud gongs and drums, and the sound of people talking could be heard everywhere.
Jiang Ruo sat in the wedding sedan, took out a box of pastries from the space and started eating.
With space in hand, you will never have to worry about food and drink.
Happy days are just around the corner, so keep moving forward.
At this time, the emperor and empress also arrived at Prince An's Mansion in a dragon chariot.
In Xiao Junze's view, his character of loving his younger brother cannot be overturned.
Looking at the Prince An's Mansion with its carved railings and jade bricks, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't jealous.
At the beginning, the late emperor spent a lot of effort to build a palace for his younger brother, Prince An!
