Chapter 2039 Yanran Goes to Beijing (4)
Du was also filled with emotion. She was very proud of her outstanding children.
When the children were young, because life was difficult, in order to feed them, she shamelessly borrowed food from other families and dug wild vegetables in the mountains to fill their stomachs. Someone once suggested that she sell her eldest daughter to someone else as a child bride, so that she could save a mouth and get a few taels of silver to make life comfortable. But she would rather sell her hair at the market than let her daughter become a child bride. At that time, she worked hard for several children. She had made up her mind that even if she died of hardship or starvation, the family would die together.
Now, finally, the bitterness has paid off. Her eldest daughter has become the most glorious queen of the Great Jin State, her second daughter has become the wife of a general, and the youngest daughter is the dignified Princess of Jing. Her husband is the second-rank prince's guardian. Her family is already extremely prominent and there is no regret anymore!
If there is something missing, it is that the two sons are still unmarried and they have no grandchildren.
But it’s okay. Wen’er’s wife has been decided. She plans to marry them next month. It is expected that Yanran will give her a big, white and fat grandson in a short time. With the first one, there will naturally be a second and a third...
Wen’er’s marriage is settled, and Wu’er will be soon. Wu’er’s temperament is gentler than his brother, and he is not as stubborn as his brother. When his brother gets married, she will arrange a marriage for him. It is expected that he will not object. If things go well, maybe she can hold two big grandchildren at once next year!
Du was happy to imagine it, and told everyone about her plan to let Wen’er get married next month.
This idea was unanimously recognized by everyone, so at the banquet, the date for Wen’er and Yanran’s marriage was set, and they will get married at the end of next month.
The reason for such a hurry is not only because Du is eager to hold a grandson, but also because the next month is the day for Jin’er and Yu’er to marry concubines. She didn't want Wen'er to get married after her nephew, so she wanted to arrange her son's marriage before her two grandchildren.
Speaking of the wedding, Caiwei also asked Yanran for her opinion. Yanran just blushed and said that the Queen would decide. Although she didn't express her willingness, the shy evasion on her face showed her willingness and joy.
Nangong Yi said: "Since Wen'er has already started a family and career, and is 25 years old, it's time to take up a job. Let's do this. I will first grant you a fifth-rank post in the Hanlin Academy. You can be promoted slowly after you make some achievements tomorrow."
Wen'er was just a Jinshi, not a champion or a scion. It was not small to be granted a fifth-rank official position all at once.
Hearing her brother-in-law's words, Wen'er hurriedly stood up and wanted to thank the emperor, but was stopped by Nangong Yi.
"We are one family, so there is no need for courtesy. If we kneel here and there, it will be a waste of time."
Yanran only realized how powerful the family she married into was at this moment. The king of a country actually sat in this family like an ordinary son-in-law, sitting with her future father-in-law and husband, chatting about everything regardless of their status, and even being a little humble to her father-in-law.
The current prince couldn't even sit in the seat of honor in her husband's house. He sat with his brother-in-law and a group of younger brothers and sisters, and had to listen to his brother-in-law's teachings from time to time. This... was simply incredible.
Although she was not a vain girl, she was still a little complacent in her heart to be able to marry into such a prominent family. After all, under the same circumstances, no one would be willing to marry into a poor and destitute family!
Although the wedding date of Wen'er and Yanran was approaching, it was not difficult. The family had already prepared everything and was just waiting for a bride. Not to mention getting married next month, even if it was three days, it would be in time.
When the officials in the court heard that the eldest son of the Mu family was finally going to get married, they were all a little disappointed. They all hoped that they could get married to their family. Although they all knew that the eldest son had very high standards and their daughters could not meet his eyes, they also tried their best to find outstanding girls in the clan and try to get married to the Mu family. Unfortunately, the eldest son of the Mu family did not like anyone and finally chose an unknown concubine.
This must be the legendary fate. After everyone felt sorry, they all set their sights on the second son, Mu Chongwu. Now that the eldest son has been engaged, the second son is next. I really hope that the Bodhisattva can bless this time and let the second son take a fancy to my daughter. If my daughter can be favored by the second son, why worry about the family not being able to prosper in the future?
Mrs. Du got busy and began to prepare for her son's wedding. Caiwei was also busy and began to arrange the matters of Jin'er and Yu'er marrying concubines.
At this time, the eldest prince of Liaodan and the crown prince of Qingluo were already on their way to Dajin. The wedding of the crown prince of Dajin and Prince Fu was such a major event that required the participation of an important figure. Naturally, they would not miss any opportunity to see Mingzhu, nor would they miss the opportunity to please their future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
