Chapter 1248: Gift of a book to seal the relationship, formal marriage
It was late afternoon.
Yinsi and Yinzhi looked at their hunting trophies and then at Su Mingzhe's results.
It is true that 'comparing goods will lead to throwing them away, comparing people will lead to death'.
Although in total, Yinsi and Yinzhen hunted nearly a hundred mountain birds and wild beasts, these mountain birds were all pheasants, wild ducks, etc., and the wild beasts were all rabbits, elk and the like.
Although the total number of animals killed by Su Mingzhe was a little less, they were all big ones, including five tigers, four bears, more than twenty wild wolves, and a dozen red foxes.
The prey of both sides were piled together, and there was no need to argue about which was higher or lower.
Yinsi and Yinzhi were too embarrassed to stay any longer, so they went back to their own yards early to sleep and rest.
Seeing this, Su Mingzhe arranged for Honghui and Jiashan to rest, and took Ruoxi to the flower hall to drink.
Tonight's side dishes are all made from pure natural ingredients, processed by the royal chefs, and are simply impossible to taste in modern times.
Ruoxi was a greedy person. While eating the delicious food, she drank about a pound of rice wine without realizing it.
Although this rice wine has a low alcohol content and is not easy to make you drunk, it can still make you intoxicated if you drink too much.
Not long after, Ruoxi began to talk nonsense under the guidance of the man's words.
"What comes from the hereafter."
"What is the Fourth Prince going to become Emperor Yongzheng in the future?"
"What? The Qing Dynasty still has another 200 years of national destiny?" and so on.
After successfully getting the conversation going, Su Mingzhe pressed a point on her sleeping point, causing her to fall asleep.
On the second day.
Yinsi and Yinzhi, feeling depressed, wanted to take Ruoxi and leave.
Su Mingzhe didn't say much, but smiled at Ruoxi who was still not fully sober, and took out a book:
"Eighth brother, last night Ruoxi said that her calligraphy was 'terribly ugly' and asked me if I had any tips for practicing calligraphy. After much thought, I still think that if you want to improve your calligraphy, you have to practice more."
"This is the volume of Ancient Chinese Literature that I copied last night. Ruoxi can copy it after she takes it back!"
Volume 1 of Guwen Guanzhi is mainly copied from Zuo Zhuan. Each chapter has about two to three hundred words, with a total of eighteen chapters, totaling about four thousand words.
When Yinsi and Yinzhi heard this, they both felt a pang in their hearts.
As princes of the Qing Dynasty, they all have the pride of being princes.
Even if they fall in love with a pretty, cute and well-behaved girl, the attitude they can show is at most "spending money" and "making a date". It is absolutely impossible for them to copy a book of more than 4,000 words overnight like Su Mingzhe.
So, from this aspect, although both of them like Ruoxi, they are far behind Su Mingzhe in terms of "sincere devotion".
Ruoxi could naturally think of the same reasons that Yinsi and Yinzhi could think of.
Especially, Ruoxi thought about last night, when they both drank so much alcohol that she was unconscious and fell asleep directly.
But the man in front of him copied more than 4,000 words of "Gu Wen Guan Zhi" overnight because of what he said.
Ruoxi already had a vague affection for Su Mingzhe, and now it was immediately stimulated and inflated.
"Thank you, Fourth Master!"
Ruoxi took a deep breath, took the "Gu Wen Guan Zhi", opened it and took a look. It was indeed just copied, and the scent of ink was still very strong.
"Fourth brother, we're leaving now!"
Yinsi looked at Ruoxi, who was "overjoyed" and deeply moved, and suddenly felt unhappy, aggrieved, bitter and depressed.
This stinky old man is so insidious that he has no moral principles at all.
on the way back.
Yinsi and Yinzhen saw Ruoxi holding the volume of "Gu Wen Guan Zhi" in a daze.
Yinzhen wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yinsi.
After finally returning to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, when Ruoxi returned to the courtyard with the "Guwen Guanzhi", Yinzhen finally couldn't help it and roared at Yinsi:
"Eighth Brother, why didn't you let me speak all the way? Didn't you see Ruoxi's expression just now... She, she was obviously about to fall into Fourth Brother's trap and couldn't get out!"
Facing Yinzhen's anger, Yinsi had a calm expression. He sat down and drank a sip of hot tea before saying in a deep voice:
"Fourteenth brother, if I were Ruoxi and I could be favored by Fourth Brother, I would also fall in and be unable to get out!"
"Tsk, what is this, Fourth Brother?"
Although Yinzhen felt that what Yinsi said made sense, he was still very indignant and said:
"He knew clearly that Ruoxi was from the Eighth Prince's residence, but he still took action. This is too insidious!"
"Fourteenth brother, what you said is a bit too much!"
Seeing that Yinzhen was even angrier than he was, Yinsi naturally guessed that Yinzhen might have fallen in love with Ruoxi, so he chuckled and said, "Ruoxi is just staying at my house temporarily, she is not my person! As long as Fourth Brother and Ruoxi are happy with each other and can get the Emperor to arrange a marriage for them, I will congratulate them and will never say anything!"
"Okay, Brother Myna, you said this yourself, don't regret it later!"
Yinzhen finally realized that this myna was actually a stubborn person.
As the saying goes, those who are stubborn will be beaten to death, and those who can swim will be drowned.
Su Mingzhe and Ruoxi were the first to show signs of development, and they staged a romantic scene in front of Yinsi and Yinzhi.
The self-esteem of Yinsi and Yinzhi did not allow them to continue attacking Ruoxi.
It has to be said that Su Mingzhe has a very accurate grasp of Yinsi and Yinzhi's thoughts.
However, Yinsi and Yinzhen would never have imagined that the reason why Ruoxi held on to the book "Gu Wen Guan Zhi" was definitely not because she fell in love with Su Mingzhe at once.
Quite the opposite.
If possible, Ruoxi wanted to stay as far away from Su Mingzhe as possible.
The reason is that on the last page of this book, Su Mingzhe wrote a dozen small words:
'Yongzheng copied it on October 17, the 43rd year of Kangxi's reign, and sent it to Maertai Ruoxi!'
"'Yongzheng', this is the future reign title of the stinky fourth brother!"
Ruoxi stared at the two words in a daze, and immediately remembered what she said when she was drunk last night.
Ruoxi, whose identity as a time traveler has been exposed, now wants to die!
"Now, what should I do?"
Just as Ruoxi was feeling uneasy, some more days passed.
This day was Yin'e's wedding and also the death anniversary of Yinxiang's biological mother, Concubine Min.
Because Concubine Min had passed away five years ago, people no longer had any taboos about it.
Yinxiang himself did not want to tell others about his resentment, so after arriving at the Tenth Prince's Mansion, he found a deserted place and started drinking alone.
the other side.
The princes came to congratulate.
Su Mingzhe had told the women in his family about his relationship with Ruoxi in advance.
After everyone had a lively banquet, Rouze found the sisters Ruolan and Ruoxi and started by asking about their well-being, which completely confused Maertai Ruolan.
It is well known that Yinzhen, as a member of the Prince's Party, and Yinsi, as the leader of the Eight Princes Party, have a bad relationship.
Therefore, the relationship between Prince Zhen's Mansion and Prince Ba's Mansion was just ordinary, barely acceptable in terms of face.
Now that Su Mingzhe's wives had come forward and were being polite, Ruolan naturally had no idea what they meant.
Ruoxi guessed what Su Mingzhe was thinking, but as a modern person, she really couldn't imagine that women in ancient times would help their men "chase women".
So, Ruoxi was also at a loss at this moment.
Fortunately, Rouze did not beat around the bush and quickly explained the reason why she was looking for the two sisters.
When Ruolan heard that Rouze was actually going to get engaged, she was immediately dumbfounded and quickly turned to look at her sister.
As Ruoxi went to the capital to participate in the selection of concubines, she was not qualified to choose her own husband.
However, if this man becomes a prince, the result will be different.
When Ruoxi learned that Rouze and the other women had come here to pave the way for Su Mingzhe, she was stunned on the spot, her small fist clenched with the handkerchief almost digging into her flesh.
For a moment, she thought of the man's tenderness, the evidence he had on her, and all the past events.
Finally, a solemn and serious expression appeared on that fair and beautiful little face:
"Fourth Lady, if I were to marry someone, I would not be someone's concubine. I would have to marry her in a formal ceremony, with a sedan chair carried by eight men!"
Ruoxi's words were meant to be a tactful refusal.
In her opinion, being married with a formal ceremony and carried in a sedan chair by eight people means being the main wife.
However, when these words fell into the ears of Rouze and the others, they did not take them seriously at all, and directly agreed with a smile:
"Of course, the Fourth Master has already said that he will ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage. By then, you will be the concubine of Prince Zhen!"
Ruoxi, who didn't know what a legitimate wife or a concubine was, was stunned when she heard it:
"What I want is a formal marriage, what the hell is this concubine?"
