MTL - Little Cardamom-Chapter 28
When Ming Tan realized that there might be something wrong with the belt he gave him, it had been several days since Jiang Xu had **** the belt with the stinky smell in it and drove a general in Daying, Gyeonggi.
Ming Tan wears clothes in the summer, and they are almost the same. After wearing the clothes soaked in spices, she found that they can indeed repel insects, so she didn't wear them again. After leaving it for a long time, one day Lue opened the box and tidied it up, and suddenly found that the whole box of clothes was already fragrant and stinky!
Ming Tan was stunned, and after searching for a long time, he found out that some two fragrances in the insect repellent spice had strong fragrances, which would produce a peculiar smell after the fragrance dissipated.
She was apprehensive, and secretly prayed that her future husband would never use it. If he felt that he didn't need to take back the old things when he delivered them that day, it would be best to just throw them away!
But Shen Hua completely shattered her prayer—
When the two were embroidering sachets together in the yard, Shen Hua looked at her from time to time while embroidering, somewhat hesitant to speak.
Ming Tan saw it and asked: "Cousin, do you have something to say?"
Shen Hua hesitated for a moment, then said in deliberation: "Yesterday evening, I went to deliver dinner to my brother. My brother said that the army has been passing on His Royal Highness Ding Beiwang for the past few days..."
When Ming Tan heard "His Royal Highness King Dingbei", his ears perked up.
"It is said that His Royal Highness Dingbei doesn't like bathing, and his body stinks... There are also rumors that His Royal Highness Dingbei's preference for smell is very unique." Shen Hua said very euphemistically.
"...?"
Ming Tan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something.
It's over.
It's over!
Wouldn't her future husband think that he was dissatisfied with him on purpose to punish him? !
Before, you sneaked into the barracks without restraint to see each other secretly, and later, you returned the belt and soaked it with incense to ward off evil spirits. It was obvious that the heat was unstoppable, but Ming Tan felt as if a gust of cold wind had blown through it, making it feel chilly.
Ming Tan wanted to explain it well and convey an apology to her future husband, but she was a girl, and she didn't have any reason to come to someone to talk about it for no reason, and within a few days, Shen Hua told her, His Royal Highness King Dingbei I went to the north to patrol the soldiers. I am afraid that this patrol will not return to Beijing until the end of the year.
After hearing this news, Ming Tan was depressed for several days. Originally, she was thinking that at the Dragon Boat Race on Xianjiang during the Duanyang Festival, many dignitaries and dignitaries would be present, so maybe Neng could catch a glimpse of her future husband from afar, if she could create an opportunity then, it would be fine to just explain a few words to him OK Well now, there is absolutely no chance.
But fortunately, her future husband did not want to divorce her because of this. Instead, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to the mansion, saying that the wedding date has been fixed, and after the ceremony is completed, they will be married in the spring of next year.
After several days of wilting, Ming Tan finally regained his spirits!
After the wedding date was set, Li Cheng walked away in an orderly manner.
The palace gave her the future Dingbei Princess rewards one after another. People who came to tailor clothes and prepare auspicious clothes for her came five times. Empress Zhang also sent a teaching nun to teach her royal rules.
Ming Tan has always been good at learning the rules, so she didn't bother to pay any attention to it, but she didn't become self-righteous and slack because of her good skills.
Queen Zhang was very satisfied when she learned about this. Thinking back to Nuan Pavilion on the way to Yongyuan, she immediately fell in love with Mingtan, and now she feels that she has a very good vision.
While learning the rules and etiquette with the nanny, Ming Tan also started a half-year-long careful grooming.
How much you can only eat in a day to maintain a slim body, how to maintain the delicate and moist skin all over your body...
She did these things in the past, but now she is more strict with herself. After all, what she is doing now is to become the most beautiful bride and change her future husband's opinion of her in one fell swoop, so there is no room for loss!
Ming Tan is busy every day, and the others are not idle either.
Surrounding her are girls who are about to get married in their boudoirs, and the family is busy with engagement matters. During this period of time, there has been an endless stream of wedding celebrations in Shangjing.
Shen Hua was very satisfied with the second son of Li Siye's family whom he met earlier. The second son of Li Siye had a good family background, but not so good that she couldn't climb up to him at all. And his father has a good official reputation, and his promotion is just around the corner. The most important thing is that when Shen Hua saw each other at the Daxiangguo Temple earlier, Shen Hua had a glimpse of his character, which was quite upright and motivated.
So Shen Hua nodded her head on this marriage, and let Mrs. Pei discuss it, it was settled smoothly.
Since it was not a royal wedding, the two families' ceremony went much faster. The Li family also valued Shen Hua very much, and they couldn't help but pay attention to the ceremony of marrying a wife, and the dowry was quite generous.
Apart from Shen Hua's marriage, Pei also made a low-key marriage with Ming Chu.
The family that the Pei family appointed for Mingchu was the third son of Feng's family in Xuanwei's mansion. General Xuanwei was a fifth-rank military officer with a low rank and his residence was not in the capital. It was completely in line with what Ming Tingyuan had proposed Require.
Ming Tingyuan had dealt with General Feng before, and he had a good impression of this General Feng, and he inquired about it, and the gentlemen of the Feng family were all very good.
The Feng Sanlang who wanted to get married was quite like his father, and he became the commander of the Hezhou barracks at a young age, so when Mrs. Pei showed him the marriage, he didn't think much about it, and he was satisfied with the decision , settled down at once.
Ming Tingyuan is a man, it is extremely difficult to be able to pay attention to the conduct of the other party's father and brother, how can he pay attention to other things. However, Ming Tan and Shen Hua knew after a little inquiring that Ming Chu's staying at Feng's house might not cause any trouble.
The old lady of the Feng family runs the family very strictly and is also very aggressive. In the previous generation of the Feng family, there was a family separation issue. Ordinary families would hide their ugliness from the outside world, but Mrs. Feng was different. If there was a scandal in the family, she would just not cover it up. When it came to the yamen, he insisted on asking for an explanation, and he was very famous in Hezhou.
And when Mingchu married, there were two more sister-in-laws from the family of generals. These two sister-in-laws were serious generals, and together with Wu Wu, they were probably more flamboyant than Mingchu Much stronger.
In this way, Mingchu definitely did not rely on his background in Jing'an Hou's mansion to be arrogant and violent in his in-law's house.
When Mingchu learned about the marriage at the beginning of the ancestral hall, he also had a rough time, crying, beating, and threatening hunger strikes, but these were not enough in front of Mrs. Pei.
Pei Shi used to be too lazy to take care of her, but now if he wants to take care of her, he can naturally tidy her up into a docile manner.
As soon as Mingchu went on a hunger strike, Mrs. Pei cut off her meals on the grounds that "Miss San is obsessed with Taoism and does not eat food". When Mingchu couldn't bear it anymore and gave in, she used her ancestors' family law, filial piety and morality to use many torture methods. Not long after, the ancestral hall settled down, and the mansion no longer heard Ming Chu yelling that she would never marry anything.
Generally speaking, the two marriages in Jing'an Hou's mansion went smoothly, but the marriage in Chang Guogong's mansion did not go well.
The couple of the Duke of Chang's Mansion had pre-selected Bai Minmin's family earlier. Although they hadn't made the decision publicly, the two families knew it well. How did they know that at this juncture of discussing marriage, they actually went to the Sujun Prince's Mansion without saying a word, and made an engagement with the Qingyao County Lord in the Sujun Prince's Mansion!
Bai Jingyuan was very angry, and lost his temper in the mansion.
This time, Bai Minmin had a very peaceful life, she didn't cry, make trouble or get angry, anyway, she didn't really want to marry, that family was her parents' favorite, she didn't feel much about it. Fortunately, there was no courtesy before, and if she wants to see other people again, she can do it at any time.
Zhou Jingwan has also reached the age of marriage, but Zhou's family passed on poems and books to the family, and there are many famous scholars and ministers.
The matchmaker broke the threshold of Zhou's family, and her parents didn't give anyone an accurate word. They said it was not in a hurry. Their Jingwan was young, so they just got to know each other slowly.
Only Zhou Jingwan found out by accident that among the people who proposed marriage, there was actually the fearsome deputy commander in front of the palace, Lu Ting. She was so frightened that she couldn't sleep for several days, and she was looking forward to her father and mother. Hurry up and return the Iceman sent by Lu Dianshuai.
"Lu Dianshuai?" Ming Tan was surprised, "Why did Lu Dianshuai propose marriage to you? Do you know each other?"
Zhou Jingwan shook her head, and said softly: "I don't know, and I don't know why I proposed marriage."
Bai Minmin thought for a while, propped his chin and teased: "I'll see, Lu Dianshuai must have fallen in love with you at the first sight at Daxiangguo Temple that day!"
"What are you talking about!" Zhou Jingwan was overwhelmed with embarrassment and embarrassment.
"What's wrong with me? It's just a one-sided meeting. It's not love at first sight." Bai Minmin didn't spare her, "What's wrong with Lu Dianshuai, he is the commander of the deputy commander in front of the palace, and now the commander is temporarily suspended. Assuming nothing, the chief of the palace is Lu Dianshuai who has the final say, the chief of the palace, he has such a high position and authority at such a young age, he will have it in the future!"
The more Bai Minmin talked, the more enthusiastic he became: "Although Lu Dianshuai has a bad reputation, he was not as scary as the rumors when he watched it at the Daxiangguo Temple that day. When it comes to killing people with cruel methods, isn't His Royal Highness Dingbei even worse?
"But we all saw His Royal Highness King Dingbei with our own eyes, and heard what he said. It's cold, but he's so handsome, and he's also very polite. So, these rumors are prejudices!"
Ming Tan held his face and nodded in agreement.
Bai Minmin: "Besides, Lu Dianshuai is on good terms with His Royal Highness King Dingbei and Young Master Shu. You can't believe His Highness King Dingbei, but Second Young Master Shu is well-known in Beijing for his precious character. You should trust him, right?"
"...?" Ming Tan retorted with a face of approval just now, "Why can't my future husband be trusted?"
