Chapter 1584: Tiger Girl 68
Matchmaker Feng's words were like a thorn piercing into human flesh, causing a sudden sting.
If I can't marry, I won't marry into the Duke of Rongguo. How much hatred and resentment would it take to do this? This further proves that the original legend that the Duke of Rongguo ruined the reputation of other girls and wanted to marry her smoothly is true.
Matchmaker Feng actually went to the Zhenguo General's Mansion. In fact, generally speaking, for such a high-profile family, in addition to granting marriages, everyone also knows the details during the relationship. The matchmaker just decides on a house and then invites it to fill the scene and run errands.
It was originally known that Matchmaker Feng was unwilling to go, but Qiuye encouraged her, saying that she had talked about her with the young lady before, and she also took care of the bun shop on weekdays. The young lady was willing to ask the madam to meet her, and if other people knew about Zhen Guo. The General's Mansion is also willing to provide her with a matchmaker, which is a great honor, and it can also let the news out that the young master of the General's Mansion is getting married.
This persuaded Matchmaker Feng to go for it. Unexpectedly, the person at the door knew that she was coming and invited her in politely. The general's wife talked to her for a few words, and asked the young master to come out to meet her, and finally gave her ten taels of silver.
It was said that it was not easy to come here, and he was acquainted with the young lady's personal maid. Qiuye won the young lady's heart, and the ten taels of silver were considered as running errands. If things really come true, the matchmaker will pay for it separately.
Ten taels of silver. I’ll give you the silver before you finish the work. After all, he is a wealthy person, so he is so generous! Last time, I only had ten taels of silver to secure a match for Dongcheng Yuan Zhang’s daughter, and to help the sixth-grade Cheng Lang family marry his wife.
Matchmaker Feng happily said goodbye to the general's wife and was about to go out, but was stopped by Qiuye.
Just as he was thinking about Qiuye asking her to share the money, Qiuye said: "Thank you, no need. Originally, anyone could do this. It was Aunt Feng who I recommended to the lady. She said that Aunt Feng ran around and saw her A man of understanding in the world. ”
Matchmaker Feng smiled and knelt down and saluted: "My good girl, I accept this love. I have always loved you in vain. I will definitely find you a good marriage in the future, and your brother's marriage will also be taken care of by me."
Qiuye didn't have the same smile as before, and said with a serious face: "We'll talk about this later. Think about what Madam just said to you. It's hard to get married in the Duke's Palace. Even if you can't make it happen, you have to do it well. ."
Matchmaker Feng finally heard that the door was coming, put away some of her smile, and quickly said yes. After leaving the General's Mansion, I chewed the whole thing over and over again, and then I understood.
So I went to the bun shop and had a chat, which relieved my hunger.
After finishing eating, he wiped his mouth and started to matchmaking again.
The difference is that every time I go to a temple, I go to the temple that says it is the General's Mansion.
The official matchmaker just has an extra identity than the ordinary matchmaker. They are also from high-ranking families. Usually there are many small families and ordinary people. When they heard about the Zhenguo General's Mansion, they were naturally curious. Even if you don't ask, Matchmaker Feng will tell you something.
For example: Don't worry, you will never say anything to someone you don't like. The Zhenguo General's Palace just doesn't like the Rongguo Duke's Palace, and they won't agree if they can't get married.
After that, the family would discuss it privately and publicly. It spread like wildfire to everyone, and in just a few days, it spread to everyone, faster than the rumor that the third lady of Zhenguo General Mansion was kidnapped while looking at a lantern.
"Damn it, you underestimated this martial artist!" The third prince gritted his teeth and resented, his appearance was very different from the gentle and polite person he used to be.
"Pah~" Zhao Chengzong clicked and said calmly: "Your Highness, it's your turn!"
This is the elegant room of Qinlou. There is a Qin on the side and incense is burning.
After the violinist came over and played a piece just now, the two started playing chess. From time to time, melodious piano sounds can be heard from other rooms.
The third prince put away his anger, picked up a cloud from the chess jar, held it between his index finger and middle finger, and looked at the chessboard: "Now that Zhao Yi refuses to marry his daughter to you, I will be the only one to marry him."
Zhao Chengzong's lips twitched: "Even the concubine who secretly married His Highness the Third Highness was betrothed to the ninth-grade eldest son of the Zhou family." The implication was that the concubine, whose eyes were hurting, refused even more. This time I really underestimated the Zhenguo General's Mansion. I originally thought that Zhao Yinghong would marry him because of falling into the water.
Later, he planned to keep Zhao Yinghong alone for a few days, and when the city turned upside down, he pretended to help find someone, accidentally found her, and sent her back to the house in person to propose marriage. As a result, the person was found before he was detained for long.
Then just spread rumors everywhere, ruin Zhao Yinghong's reputation, and then propose marriage. The result was like this, and now everyone in the city said that he was greedy for Zhao Yinghong and deliberately ruined his reputation.
The person who went out to spread the rumors has not been found yet, and it has obviously been discovered by others. Zhao Yinghong's reputation is not that bad, but it is the reputation that he has painstakingly cultivated for more than ten years that makes it so bad. It's like a goose pecked in the eye instead.
The third prince took a picture of Yunzi crisply: "I will go to the queen to ask for a royal decree."
Zhao Chengzong thought about it and decided that this was a good idea. The officials were now suspicious, worried that the son was strong and the father was weak, and the throne would be usurped.
If the third prince goes directly to the officials to request the order, then the officials will definitely be afraid that the third prince married Zhao Yinghong for Zhao Yi's military power.
You must know that apart from forming cliques for personal gain, what officials dislike the most is the excessive military power of their relatives.
Cui Guifei's father, Cui Younian, the commander of the Southwest Army, made the officials uncomfortable because of the 100,000 troops at his disposal. Not only did she obtain the position of imperial concubine for her daughter, she also coveted the position of heir apparent.
Therefore, the officials seemed to favor Concubine Cui, but in fact they seemed to be inseparable, and the one they were most wary of was the seventeenth prince, who was only fourteen years old.
If the empress issued the decree, the officials would shift their suspicion to the empress, thinking that the empress deliberately sowed a relationship between father and son and betrothed Zhao Yinghong to the third prince.
The third prince went to find the Queen. Even if the Queen knew there was a trap, she had no choice but to go to the officials to discuss it and had to infiltrate it.
After Zhao Chengzong made the move, he expressed the possibility: "The Queen will go to the officials to discuss it. If the officials don't agree, it won't work in the end. It's better to let it go first. The second concubine of the Zhao family, what do you think, Your Highness?"
< br>
Although it had been more than ten days since they met in private, the third prince still remembered that even if she was a concubine, the feeling would definitely be different from that of a maid in the mansion. He couldn't help but feel a little lost in thought, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
Zhao Chengzong saw it clearly: "It seems that His Highness is quite fond of her. There are only about ten days until her wedding, and time waits for no one. If you don't want her to get married, just find a way to get her out!"
The third prince came to his senses and was surprised: "Elope?"
"So what if we elope? Marrying as a wife and running as a concubine means taking a concubine in the first place. She escaped on her own and went to His Highness!" Zhao Chengzong picked up the tea bowl next to him and took a sip.
When the third prince thought about it, he suddenly felt that this plan could be considered.
After getting the person out, the third prince sent the person back in a high-profile manner, letting everyone in the city know that it was Zhao Yingxue who escaped to the third prince's place. The third prince sent the person back, and then asked people to come and recruit her. She took her as a concubine, and she could have an extra position as a concubine.
A woman who is willing to elope is not worthy of being a concubine. For the sake of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, becoming a concubine is already the biggest concession.
