Chapter 489 Two Happy Events

The emperor is a gentleman. How can the king of a great country be weaker than the villain emperor of the Jin Kingdom?

It's all because of their dirty tricks.

The emperor took a deep breath: "Shi Ruojun recruited soldiers just a year ago, and there are many female soldiers among them. It's only been a few months. If they really fight, do they have a chance of winning?"

Jiang Xinyue looked up at him: "Even if the emperor doesn't believe me, he should believe General Shi. The soldiers she brought out, let alone three months, even if it's only ten days, I believe they will definitely be reborn."

Shi Ruojun is indeed a natural general with strong military ability.

The emperor cannot deny this, and he also admires her for this.

In March, the two Jiang families held two happy events.

The Jiang family of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi married off their daughter, the eldest daughter Jiang Yunxia, ​​and the groom was the black-faced judge, the unkind Minister of Justice Ma Yiyang.

This Jiang Yunxia was previously engaged to the young man of the Su family, the salt transport envoy of Jiangnan. But somehow, the Jiang family and the Su family had a falling out, and even the Queen Mother came out to smash the Su family.

In the end, the young man of the Su family, who had a promising future, became a monk for her. The Su family is still arguing about this matter. The girls of their family couldn't find a husband in the capital, so they had to marry in other places.

No one could tell what the specific matter was.

But since the Queen Mother came to the door, it must be that the Su family did something very excessive.

The Su family has been kicked out of the circle by now, and the arrogance of the past no longer exists. The status of the Su family is already far different from that

of the Jiang family. However, Jiang Yunxia has a bad reputation. Those families with equal status in Beijing are unwilling to let their respected legitimate sons marry her, but they also want to climb the Jiang family line, so they all persuade the wife of the governor to give Jiang Yunxia to their sons as concubines.

Governor Jiang is naturally unwilling, but he can't find a decent family to take his daughter for a while.

Ma Yiyang is also in the same boat with Jiang Yunxia.

This man-made murder has been enough. She is born with bad luck. There is also an old mother and an unwanted sister living at home. Jiang Yunxia is a down-marrying.

One can't get married, and the other is unwanted. They are indeed a good match.

There is also the Jiang Mansion of the Grand Scholar Jiang, which is also the home of the Queen Mother of Heaven. The grand scholar Jiang's goddaughter Xi Que is going to marry the deputy general Meng in the cavalry army.

This is a real marriage of high status.

Although Xi Que became the goddaughter of Jiang Yankun, this cannot change the fact that she was born as a slave and was the foot-washing maid of the Queen Mother of Heaven.

How could she be so virtuous and capable that she could go from being a first-class palace maid to the wife of the deputy general?

The Jiang family returned the indenture of Xi Que's family, and from now on she is also the wife of an official.

Meng Qingyu's sister had always talked about Xi Que's life experience, thinking that how could a palace maid of slave status be worthy of her promising brother?

Now, Xi Que is not only a good citizen, she has become the adopted sister of the Queen Mother of Heaven. Who dares to say that she has a bad background?

Xi Que's sedan chair arrived at the gate of the Meng family with music and drums. Xi Po helped the bride out of the sedan chair. The new house, which was bought a year ago, was decorated lively and bright .

There was a big brazier at the gate of the Meng Mansion. Xi Po said that the bride had to step over the brazier when entering the house.

But there was too much firewood in the brazier, and the flames were almost as high as Xi Que.

How to step over it?

When people get married, stepping over the brazier is just a gesture. Are the Meng family dissatisfied with the new daughter-in-law and deliberately want to embarrass her?

Meng Qingyu's sister Meng Fanyin and a young girl hid behind the door and covered their mouths and laughed.

That girl is the little niece of Meng Fanyin's husband's family, and the sister-in-law that Meng Fanyin herself has chosen for her brother.

Now that the marriage has failed, they are upset, so they can only do something about it, putting Xi Que in a dilemma.

"Aunt, do you think she will be scared and cry when she jumps over the fire basin? Hahahaha... What did you pour into the basin? The fire is too strong."

"Humph! Strong is better! It's a blessing for her to marry into our Meng family after eight lifetimes of cultivation. If she doesn't bring good luck to her husband, how can she be worthy of the priceless Su embroidery wedding dress she is wearing?"

Meng Fanyin felt that Xi Que was able to wear such a good wedding dress because the Queen Mother allowed the palace maid to seduce her brother for the sake of her brother and to help the prince to gather talents.

Otherwise, how could her brother, who was always well-behaved and sensible, quarrel with her at home for a woman?

The Queen Mother was so nice to a palace maid just to win over her brother.

Didn't Xi Que benefit from her brother's influence?

Her brother was bewitched by a vixen and insisted on marrying a servant. Her grandmother was confused and said that as long as her brother liked her, it would be fine.

In order to ensure that the marriage went smoothly, her grandmother did not allow her to interfere in any family affairs.

Ha!

She is the aunt of the Meng family. No one can stop her from doing anything. Xi Que has to cross this brazier whether she wants to

or not.

No matter how innocent Xi Que is, she was influenced by Jiang Xinyue. Can't she see that someone is targeting her?

She swung her hands that were holding up the hem of her skirt, and she looked even more arrogant and domineering under the raging fire.

Meng Qingyu glared at her sister behind the door, and walked to Xi Que: "I'll carry you over."

He was a martial artist, and he was as light as a swallow. If he couldn't cross the bridge, he could just fly over.

Xi Que pushed him away: "You came for me, I'll handle it myself, don't let people think I'm a soft persimmon who can only rely on men."

She was not easy to deal with.

The fire in the brazier was burning high, and everyone was waiting to see how she would resolve it.

Xi Que raised her skirt again, took two steps back, and pushed hard on the ground.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, she took a run-up, bounced high up, and like a fiery red bird, she jumped over the brazier and landed perfectly.

"Pah pah pah pah..."

"Good! Great! Really great!"

The applause roared like thunder. Amid the exclamations, Xi Que calmly dropped her skirt, pressed down the veil that was blown up by the wind with her hands, took the red silk handed to her by the matchmaker, and walked into the lobby of the Meng family with Meng Qingyu.

The movements were smooth and seamless, and seemed so casual.

Only Meng Fanyin and the little girl who liked Meng Qingyu were left standing there in a daze, too frightened to speak.

Just now... just now when the magpie rushed out from the other side of the brazier, the pressure was too strong, and they all felt that if he did it again, they would be in big trouble.

It was strange, the magpie clearly didn't say anything just now, why did they feel their faces were swollen?

"Your Majesty, the wind is blowing, let's go back!"

Jiang Xinyue stood on the highest observation tower in the imperial palace. She looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and smiled gently: "I am happy that Xi Que can marry a good man."

Shuangjiang stood behind her, looking at the red in the distance, her eyes also became moist.
