Chapter 386: Marriage
early morning.
Magpies are making noise on the branches.
The autumn harvest season is full of joy of harvest.
Even the birds were a little jubilant.
Miaomiao was wrapped in a quilt, with her little head poking out.
I was called up early in the morning to dress up.
It’s really early, the sun hasn’t even come out yet.
Finished dressing up.
Miaomiao spun around in front of the bronze mirror and felt like a colorful butterfly.
A Niang is really cunning.
She was given so many valuable jewelries that she felt like a nouveau riche.
She also has aesthetic taste as a child.
Now that she's older, she feels embarrassed to be too ostentatious.
On the other hand, although A Niang had a full make-up, she looked elegant and decent from her headdress to her dress and embroidered shoes.
There is no superfluous decoration.
Even Aunt Xiuxiu and Xier changed into new clothes.
The style hasn't changed, but the fabrics of the clothes are better and more gorgeous.
"Mom, are we being too formal?" Miaomiao looked down at the pearls on her skirt, really afraid that she would jump.
The pearls on top rolled down with a crackling sound.
No wonder those women who wear buyao and jinbu have to walk very properly, not even taking big steps.
It is not difficult to imagine that if you walk too big or too fast, the hairpin will fly onto your face.
And will be criticized again.
Lu Qingyao looked at her daughter, her eyebrows curved, and she smiled and said, "It's better to make it grand. It shows respect to the girl and lets her know that we attach great importance to this marriage."
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
She is the most important one in the family.
A Niang is low-key and luxurious, and she is a walking peacock.
The whole family dressed up and set off.
As soon as I went out, I met someone who came to deliver a letter.
It's a letter from my second brother.
It’s a good opportunity to read the letter in the car.
As soon as A Niang opened the letter and glanced at it for a few seconds, she exclaimed, "He won...Miao Miao, your second brother won."
"What place did my second brother get?" Miaomiao couldn't wait to stretch her little head to see.
Lu Qingyao took the letter, tears in her eyes about to overflow, and said excitedly: "Your second brother won the first place, which is Jieyuan. Your grandfather will definitely be very happy."
My father always hopes that one of his descendants will become a civil official.
Now I finally got what I wanted.
Miaomiao quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to A Niang, "Mom, don't cry, don't ruin your makeup, let's see if Sun's brother-in-law has won the lottery."
"Yes, yes, we still have to go to Prince Liang's Mansion. Look how happy I am." Lu Qingyao quickly wiped away the tears that were about to flow.
After picking up the letter and reading it, he slowly said, "Yes, your second brother wrote that your brother-in-law won the fifth place and will bring Qiao'er to the capital in a few days. Maybe he's already on the way."
Yes, after taking the autumn examination, they have to rush to the capital to take part in the spring examination in February next year.
The Spring Examination will be held in the Ministry of Rites.
Ministry of Rites...
Miaomiao suddenly remembered that she had another difficult task.
To transfer my brother's scumbag father to a new official position.
Jiang Yunze worked in the Ministry of Rites and held an important position.
Although Daliang had a clear regulation that if there was any personal grudge between the examiner and the candidate, the examination would be moved to another place, in other words, another examination hall was set up for my second brother.
Although this is the rule, it is reasonable to apply it to others.
But Jiang Yunze's character is questionable, and there is also the precedent of the former Shangshu.
What kind of trouble will I get into in the future?
It might be brought up again, people's words are scary.
It will definitely have an impact on my second brother’s career.
The best way is for Jiang Yunze to give way to his second brother.
No one can do this. Even Prince Jing does not have the right to transfer officials.
It has to be Daddy, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.
Miaomiao was actually not surprised at all that her second brother and brother-in-law would be admitted to high school.
That was a student taught by my grandfather himself.
Daddy already knew the results of the imperial examinations in various places, but no matter how she acted coquettishly, he refused to reveal a single word.
He just said that all the students taught by his grandfather had passed the exam, and asked her to wait patiently.
He also said that she was too impatient and needed to be tempered.
Miaomiao thought that since she asked her father to do something for her, she had to be well-behaved and motivated for the time being.
It is not easy to be the daughter of the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister treats his daughter the same way as he treats his subordinates.
The requirements are too high.
But there is still one difference: subordinates dare not say a word when being scolded.
My daughter was scolded and cried in front of you.
See if you feel sad or not.
When Miaomiao was parading, she had already arrived at the Prince of Liang's residence.
It was indeed the residence of the emperor's uncle. It was more magnificent and much larger than the princess's residence.
Arrived at the flower hall.
Princess Liang, her daughter, and the three brothers of the Cui family had already been waiting here.
Miaomiao stepped forward to greet her father, "Good morning, Daddy. Did you sleep well last night?"
Cui Yan touched his daughter's head and nodded embarrassedly.
The corners of Lu Qingyao's lips twitched.
This girl, in front of her father, seems like a different person.
Very well-behaved.
Like a docile kitten, his eyes are full of admiring stars.
Fortunately, there were not so many stars in her eyes when she looked at Princess Yuqing, otherwise she would have felt jealous.
Princess Liang came up and hugged Miaomiao tightly, looking her up and down carefully.
He also pulled Cui Yan over and made him squat in front of Miaomiao.
Then he exclaimed, "A resemblance! They really are. Why didn't I notice it before? I was wondering why we got along so well with this child. Turns out she's my niece. How could such a coincidence happen in this world?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Cui Yan again, her eyes red. "Good... That's great. My brother has a daughter now."
Miaomiao quickly took out a handkerchief from her small cloth bag.
I knew I would cry today when I met my relatives.
So she asked Xier to prepare several handkerchiefs.
It's just a coincidence.
Miaomiao found it incredible.
She called out sweetly, "Auntie..."
"Ah! Miaomiao's little mouth is so sweet." Princess Liang hugged her in her arms and kissed her, then took off the bracelet on her hand and put it in Lu Qingyao's hand, "Help Miaomiao keep it."
Miaomiao stretched her head to take a look.
Wow! It’s a piece of lustrous green Hetian jade. The luster and oiliness of it are so valuable.
Buy a few houses.
She had seen one at the princess's mother's place, and the princess kept it like a treasure, saying it was a tribute given by the emperor.
I guess it and my aunt's are made of the same material, and both were gifts from the emperor.
This princess aunt is so generous.
Lu Qingyao hesitated for a moment, then took it, thinking that she was collecting it for Miaomiao.
But this wave of pressure has really put a lot of pressure on her.
The bracelet Princess Liang gave to her niece was so valuable, so her betrothal gift...
I'm so worried.
No matter how rich she was, she still pales in comparison to Princess Liang.
Princess Liang didn't think too much about it. She took Lu Qingyao's hand and talked about business.
Princess Rong'an blushed and pulled Miaomiao away.
When he reached a place where no one was around, he asked, "Miaomiao, has your elder brother sent a letter home recently? Did he say when he'll be back?"
"I sent it. He said he will be back in the early spring of next year. Sister Yuan, do you have any letters to give him?" Miaomiao told a white lie.
I’m afraid Sister Yuan will worry.
The capital is so far away from the frontier that ordinary people can only exchange a few letters in a year.
My eldest brother is benefiting from the coach's godfather and grandfather.
When delivering military intelligence, people also delivered letters home.
But there is no reason to give it every month.
