Chapter 872: break off an engagement
Chapter 872 Retirement
The news spread quickly, and someone heard that in order to save Miss Wang, the princess sent her personal servant girl to Jingzhao Mansion. The girl of the Wang family is so smart and talented, she just arrived Yanjing City, the good name spread.
Xie Zhiwei met Wang Lijun two or three years ago, and now it seems that Wang Lijun has lost a lot of weight, and her expression has become more haggard. She respectfully gave Xie Zhiwei a big gift, and Xie Zhiwei hurriedly asked Bai Ling to help her up, " With me, you don't need to be too polite!"
"If it weren't for the princess, I would never be where I am today. I'm afraid life would be worse than death!" Wang Lijun couldn't help but shed tears, "My mother hanged herself in order not to implicate me. At that time, I thought, if anyone can save me from this suffering Among them, I will go through fire and water for her in my life, and I will not hesitate. Princess, after my mother passed away, I brought all her dowry, and I want to present it to the princess!"
Xie Zhiwei was also inevitably moved by her sincerity, but smiled, "What do I want your mother's dowry for? If you have the heart, donate three thousand taels of silver and send it to Taoyuan Academy, and you can make a name for yourself."
Cui Nanwan said from the side, "That's the reason. A few days ago, I also donated 5,000 taels of silver. Over there, Master Shen was in charge, saying that they wanted to engrave the names of some donators on the stone tablet. "
Xie Zhi smiled and said, "It should be." She said to Cui Nanwan, "Cousin, Miss Wang has come to Yanjing, and you will have a companion from now on."
Wang Lijun saw that Cui Nanwan was dressed as a woman, but her expression was heroic and heroic. She had long heard that the monarch's cousin was a divorced woman. She had a very close relationship with the princess, and the princess treated her well. Taking great care of her, for a moment, she was filled with emotion, and decided to make good friends with Cui Nanwan.
Cui Nanwan had heard Xie Zhiwei talk about Wang Lijun a long time ago, and she was full of sympathy for her, and also developed a friendship with her. With Xie Zhiwei's matchmaking, the two quickly became good friends.
The Qiao family registered for Qiao Tongxiao at Taoyuan Academy, and the Zhu family soon got the news. Mrs. Zhu was trembling with anger, and threw her favorite Jihong tea bowl to the ground with a wave of her hand, and said angrily, "She looked at it Others don't know what her idea is? A merchant wants to fly on a branch to become a phoenix, does she think that the palace is so easy to enter?"
The mother-in-law Yan Shi beside her hurriedly asked the maid to come in and sweep away the debris, and persuaded in a low voice, "Madam, this is a good thing. Fortunately, the marriage was annulled. If not, it will be even more troublesome to marry in the future with such a personality."
Mrs. Zhu also understood this truth, but she felt sorry for her son, and asked, "Where is the young master? What are you up to? Go and call him!"
Nurse Yan hastily asked someone to shout, and said, "Eldest Young Master didn't take this matter too seriously, maybe there are still good things ahead for Eldest Young Master."
Zhu Tong happened to come to find his mother on something, and when he came in, without waiting for his mother to speak, he said, "Mom, my son has a request, please allow me!"
Mrs. Zhu felt very sorry for her son. If she hadn't retired the engagement, she originally wanted to set the wedding date in the second half of this year. The weather is fine, and the new capital is set in Yanjing. The new emperor ascends the throne. I don't know how lively it is.
"Tell me, is there anything mother can't agree to?" Mrs. Zhu said with tears, even if her son asked her to kneel and beg the Qiao family, she would still be able to do it. "
"Mother, there are three students from the capital, and my son has made friends with them. My son wants to invite them to stay at home for a few days." Zhu Tong said.
"What's the matter? As the saying goes, it's not easy to live in the capital. Nowadays, many people are moving to Yanjing. It used to be only the accompanying capital of Beiqi. There are not as many restaurants and inns in the capital. It's easy to say that there are business travelers here. Since they are students If you can live together with those people, you just invite, and my mother will let you tidy up the guest room."
These three people were Zhao Bingzhong, Yang Shenyuan and Xu Jian. After they arrived in the capital, they heard that Xiangshan Academy still had an exam. They were busy preparing for the exam, but they couldn't find a place to stay here.
When the three of them were eating in the restaurant, they met Zhu Tong unexpectedly.
At that time, Zhu Tong was arguing with the people of Qiao's family. He had no one with him, and was pushed and shoved by Qiao Anyuan's people. Yang Shenyuan couldn't stand it, so he got up and prepared to persuade them to fight. While talking to each other, Yang Shenyuan heard that Zhu Tong was being pushed by Qiao's family. He couldn't help being furious about the divorce, and helped Yang Shenyuan scold Qiao Anyuan.
Afterwards, he himself regretted it. After all, this place is not as good as the capital. Back then, when Duanxian Princess entered Yanjing City, he had to support the four major families.
Zhu Tong was very grateful to the three of them for helping him out of the siege and for helping him to uphold justice. Hearing that the three of them came to Xiangshan Academy, he invited the three of them to stay at his home temporarily.
Mrs. Zhu personally led the people to clean up the guest room. When the banquet was held in the evening, she was very happy to see three people, all of whom were gentle, gentle and courteous men who came from the Imperial College. They were preparing for next year's spring. , I feel that this is God sent someone to support his son.
At the banquet, Zhao Bingzhong, who is extremely upright, asked Zhu Tong what was going on with the marriage between Qiao's family. Mrs. Zhu was separated by a screen, and her heart trembled when she heard it, but she didn't stop her. She also wanted to know what her son thought. She wanted to ask several times, but she didn't dare to speak.
"It's nothing. There was a marriage contract when I was a child. A few days ago, I had a serious illness and asked my mother to help me get rid of the marriage." Zhu Tong was helping Miss Qiao maintain her reputation. He had a serious illness and retired the engagement. It's good for Miss Qiao's reputation.
Ms. Zhu burst into tears immediately. She thought, maybe in her son's heart, Miss Qiao is still very important, otherwise, why would he defend him like this.
Zhao Bingzhong and the others knew from the dispute between Young Master Qiao and Zhu Tong that this marriage was probably not what Zhu Tong said, and it was very likely that the Qiao family was rude. As rampant as Zhu Tong was, his face flushed with anger, but he was helpless.
The three of them could tell whether Zhu Tong had a serious illness or not. How could a person with a serious illness be in such good health that he could eat and drink?
Zhao Bingzhong stopped asking about Zhu Tong's marriage, but talked about the Taoyuan Academy exam. The girls had to take the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting exams respectively. I have heard that Princess Duanxian's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are unmatched, so what's the point of these people flocking to learn now?"
"Hehe, does it mean something? I've heard that many people are rushing to the emperor's choice of concubine. The new emperor has ascended the throne, and now there is only one wife in the harem. After so many years, I heard that when the emperor was in the hidden residence, I don't even have a concubine around me, so these women are so thoughtful?" Yang Shenyuan said.
