Chapter 286: Does He Know About It?
Zhao Jingyu didn't get any benefits in the end.
And he is by no means an affectionate person in his mouth, he has already compromised for the word profit, although he has no feelings for Zhou Yuanci, he does not refuse, and he regards the Zhou family as a ladder for his promotion.
When Chu Nanyue heard about the engagement between the Weiguo Mansion and the Zhao family, it was already night.
Wei Guogong still cared about the etiquette of the court, although he was ashamed of Zhou Yuanci, but he also strictly followed the regulations.
The engagement of the daughter of the Duke of Wei is extraordinarily low-key.
If it weren't for Chu Nanyue's attention, this news wouldn't even be said to him. The time when the ministers received the news will also be delayed.
Chu Nanyue asked carefully, only to know that the Zhao family had set the marriage after the New Year, and there were still two months to go.
But once the matter was decided, the news spread quickly in private.
However, although this incident is a happy event in the Zhou and Zhao families, in the Chu family, it is really a slap in the face.
If Chu Nanxuan married an ordinary woman, maybe under the pressure of the Chu family, even if she has no children under her knees, she will inevitably be forced to not leave the Chu family, and she will be widowed for Chu Nanxuan for the rest of her life.
But Zhou Yuanci is a person of noble status, originally married to Chu Nanxuan, with a little arrogance and publicity. If she wants to sacrifice for the Chu family, Zhou Yuanci can't do it.
Chu Nanxuan is not a brilliant character, Zhou Yuanci agreed back then, but he just felt that Chu Nanxuan was the only concubine of the Chu family, and everything in the Chu family in the future would fall on Chu Nanxuan's shoulders.
Once Chu Nanxuan gets any benefits, then she, as Chu Nanxuan's wife, will also benefit.
Sure enough, the marriage between the families is a transaction.
Chu Nanyue heard that after Zhou Yuanci returned to her parents' house, the Chu family later invited her to come back, at least to take away the things they had packed.
Zhou Yuanci was particularly resolute, but he didn't take any other objects, only took a few valuable jewelry, and went back to his parents' house, so it was not easy to ask.
And this marriage with Zhao Jingyu, will Zhou Yuanci be more bold?
Chu Nanyue couldn't help but think.
But Concubine Hui's appearance made this matter more light after all.
Concubine Hui is Zhao Jingyu's aunt after all, and when she saw that he was going to marry Zhou Yuanci as her wife, she immediately put herself in his shoes and thought about everything.
Since the Weiguo family is a famous family, the Zhao family cannot insult the reputation of the ancestors.
So Concubine Hui took the initiative to speak to the emperor, and in the name of being good to the two families, she wanted to hold an engagement banquet for the two.
The emperor thought that Zhou Yuanci had indeed failed in his last marriage, and Wei Guogong had been the object of the emperor's trust for generations, and he had no choice but to appease him at this moment.
And the same is true of Zhao Jingyu. Concubine Hui came out, and the people in the Weiguo Mansion became respectful to him, and it didn't take half a day for the news to spread very quickly.
Engagement banquet.
There are actually quite a few people who come.
Chu Nanyue deliberately glanced at the seat that the Chu family should have, but there was no one on the seat.
On this occasion, when the Chu family comes again, they are looking for some unhappiness for themselves.
The happy events of these two families are even worse for the Chu family. The Chu family is inevitably ugly, their sister-in-law has just passed away, and they have just mourned, and the wife who is marrying the Ming media has already made a marriage contract with someone else.
In private, some insiders, even if they don't think that Zhou Yuan's porcelain watery Yang Hua, will feel that she really lacks favor.
And it stands to reason that if Zhou Yuanci is openly recruiting marriage partners at this time, it is really difficult to find.
Fortunately, there is the Zhao family, which has already been identified, which undoubtedly helped the Weiguo Mansion.
Chu Nanyue had already walked in with the crowd, and when the banquet began, Chu Nanyue toasted Zhou Yuanci and Zhao Jingyu again.
She deliberately didn't give Zhao Jingyu a look, and she regarded the complicated emotions in Zhao Jingyu's eyes as nothing.
But after the toast, when he was about to sit down in his seat, he was blocked by Xie Yinhua, who was smiling mysteriously.
"General Chu is also here today." Xie Yinhua said, "I just don't know, does General Chu like or dislike such a festive occasion?" ”
"It's better to be able to be a little happy." Chu Nanyue said.
Xie Yinhua laughed even more happily because of her words: "Then General Chu must not think that going one more time will be troublesome, right?" ”
"Miss Xie, what do you mean by that?" Chu Nanyue felt that Xie Yinhua's words were a little strange.
"I mean, I want to invite General Chu, one day in the future, to attend my wedding with my sixth brother, I hope General Chu likes it." Xie Yinhua deliberately amplified his voice.
But the people around who heard the sound were not stupid, and they would not gather at this time, just to listen to Xie Yinhua and Chu Nanyue talking.
Not to mention, when this general was on the battlefield, he also had a reputation for strict military discipline.
"Your wedding to His Royal Highness King Bei'an?" Chu Nanyue couldn't help but repeat, "I haven't heard of it, I don't know Miss Xie, when did this happen?" ”
"You haven't heard of it, and you should be." Xie Yinhua said disdainfully. "Royal marriages, even if they are engaged, don't go about it so early. Not to mention this juncture. My aunt once said that she would not let the marriage of her sixth brother accidentally disturb the liveliness of the courtiers, and this is why. ”
Chu Nanyue listened to her words quietly, and only felt that everything was real.
Those firm remarks, familiar feelings, is Donglin Shuo really going to get engaged to Xie Yinhua?
But Tanglin Shuo himself never mentioned it.
Chu Nanyue's heart suddenly became scared.
Xie Yinhua seemed to deliberately want to be angry with her, seeing that she was at a loss, but she still continued: "So...... Is General Chu willing to come? ”
"I'm sorry. I only do formal things. If there is such a thing, then even if I do not come, His Majesty will definitely send me. But I don't like it when someone deliberately walks around to get some news and then turns it around to prove something. Chu Nanyue said.
Xie Yinhua probably didn't expect that under such circumstances, Chu Nanyue would still be able to calm down.
She was already trying to break Chu Nanyue's psychological defense. Blur things with words, and use intimate relationships as support.
"Then General Chu might as well wait." Xie Yinhua was not annoyed, "I'm afraid that General Chu will not be fully prepared at that time, and General Chu will really be ordered." ”
"That's not Miss Lao Xie's concern." Between Chu Nanyue's eyebrows and eyes, there was even more alienation.
But even if she left Xie Yinhua's side, Xie Yinhua's words to her suddenly kept echoing in her ears and lingering.
Although Xie Yinhua has always been reckless, he will not have the courage to dare to risk the name of the queen and say that he wants to marry Tanglin Shuo.
So the only reason why Xie Yinhua is so arrogant is that everything she said is true.
With the queen in charge, Xie Yinhua may really have the intention of getting engaged to Tanglin Shuo.
Chu Nanyue felt an inexplicable panic in her heart.
She didn't worry about anything else, only one thing, that is, did Tanglin Shuo know about it?
