Poor Family Chapter 175

Chapter 175, supporting the field

In the new year of the sixth year of Jiankang, there was no Eldest Prince at any of the large and small palace banquets, so the rumors that the outside world treated him badly became more and more intense.

After the Lantern Festival, the Imperial Academy and the National Women's Academy start school.

As soon as she arrived at the National Women's Prison, Shi Fuxin could hear all kinds of discussions about the eldest prince's condition.

"It will be February soon, if the Eldest Prince's health gets worse, will his wedding with Miss Zhou's family still be held normally?"

"The gate of the Zhou family was never opened during the Chinese New Year, and all relatives and friends who came to visit were turned away. I heard that the Zhou family was gloomy, and the girl of the Zhou family was crying so hard that she couldn't keep her eyes open."

"Don't say, the Zhou family girl is really pitiful. Although she is married to the prince, the eldest prince is not only in poor health, but also, the Zhou family girl is suffering."

"Mr. Zhou Ge always loves his granddaughter. I heard that Mr. Zhou Ge has already made a promise to the prince. I'm afraid he wants to reject this marriage?"

Hearing this, Shi Fuxin pulled Qiao Xinyu aside from the crowd, and asked, "The Zhou family really wants to reject the marriage?"

Qiao Xinyu gave her a supercilious look: "How is that possible? That's the eldest prince, the emperor's son. The Zhou family didn't want to live, so they dared to regret their royal relationship?"

Shi Fuxin frowned: "If the girl of the Zhou family is not happy, even if she marries the eldest prince, the two of them probably won't be able to get along well."

Qiao Xinyu looked at Shi Fuxin in surprise, laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to worry about this? I don't know, but I thought you were the eldest prince's elder."

Shi Fuxin groaned in her heart, isn't she the eldest prince's elder, naturally she should be concerned about the apprentice's marriage happiness.

After school in the afternoon, on the way back to the uncle's mansion, Shi Fuyin also mentioned the eldest prince: "Didn't you say that the eldest prince is in good health?"

Shi Fuxin nodded: "It's all right."

Shi Fuyin: "But now everyone is saying that the eldest prince is going to die."

Shi Fuxin: "He's pretending to be sick. He probably wants to paralyze his opponent hiding in the dark." After a pause, "We can't really understand the situation of the First Prince. All I can do is cure him. As for him How to take the next road is his own business."

Shi Fuyin nodded and didn't say much.

"I used to think that the Zhou family was able to get married with the eldest prince because the Zhou family had great luck, but now it seems that what kind of luck is this?"

"Isn't it? The eldest prince is weak and sick. I don't know when the Zhou family hired a prostitute daughter to go in for nothing. Not to mention, he will be rejected by other princes. He really lost his wife and lost his army."

"It's no wonder that the Zhou family has been closing their doors to thank guests now, and there is no joy at all about marrying their daughter."

"Hey, in the case of the First Prince, even the family of the First Prince's maternal grandfather Wen Guogong's mansion seldom interacts with him. The close relationship of the Zhou family is not only not a help, but a drag."

"It's a pity, the Zhou family has Zhou Ge old, and there is a cabinet scholar. If you can go to another level, it will be no worse than the noble family, but it is tied to the eldest prince. .”

"It's a pity for the eldest prince."

"Throughout the ages, when the imperial power changed, there was a debate on whether to establish the heir or the elder. The eldest prince managed to occupy both the heir and the elder, but he couldn't do it physically."

"The emperor has made it clear that in the future, the eldest prince will be allowed to rest in the mansion. I am afraid that the eldest prince will never enter the court and participate in politics."

Similar discussions continued to be staged in various families in the capital. The eldest prince played Wu Qinxi several times, while taking a medicinal bath, he listened to Gao Changshou's report.

"What's the attitude of the Zhou family?"

Gao Changshou: "The Zhou family is actively preparing for the wedding, and Ms. Zhou is also embroidering the dowry in the room with peace of mind. I heard that the wedding dress on the day of the wedding was embroidered by Ms. Zhou stitch by thread. It can be seen that she really wants to marry His Highness. of."

The eldest prince was silent for a while: "Father still has a bit of father-son affection for me after all."

Zhou's family is a scholarly family of Qingliu, and his conduct is well-known. His father chose such a noble in-law family for him, and he really had plans for his future life.

Gao Changshou looked at the eldest prince with distress, not knowing what to say.

The emperor is busy with government affairs, although he will send palace officials and imperial physicians to visit His Highness from time to time, but he rarely visits His Highness. He knows that His Highness really wants to get the Emperor's attention.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the house, Gao Changshou hurriedly said: "It should be people from the inner court who came to arrange the decorations for the wedding day, and this old slave immediately went out to tell them to keep their voices down."

The eldest prince waved his hand: "Those in the inner court are snobbish, and now I have been abandoned by my father, how can they listen to you."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a voice outside the house. It was the servants of the First Prince's Mansion who were reminding the people in the inner court to keep their voices down. Who knew, the people in the inner court were very arrogant and shouted loudly:

"It's not that the servants are unwilling to keep their voices down. It's because the construction period is too rushed. The eldest prince will get married in February, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh princes will follow soon. We must speed up the progress."

After the eldest prince heard this, he laughed mockingly. He had long been used to the fact that the inner court faction worshiped the superior and trampled the inferior, but when he was really ignored and treated poorly by the people below, his mood still fluctuated involuntarily. As peaceful as he wanted it to be.

Wuchang Bo Mansion, Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin came back from school, went to Yixiang Hall to greet Mrs. Shi, and happened to see Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi were arranging gifts.

"Is this a gift for someone in the house?" Shi Fuxin asked curiously.

Shi Da Furen smiled and said: "This is a wedding gift for the princes."

Shi Fuxin's expression changed: "The prince is married, should we also go to the residence?"

Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi's faces paused at the same time.

The eldest lady smiled stiffly and said: "Our manor has nothing to do with the princes, but we still have to send congratulatory gifts."

Hearing this, Shi Fuxin was a little disappointed, she actually wanted to attend the wedding of a cheap apprentice.

At this time, Director Shi came in with a few servants, and Mrs. Shi immediately began to assign tasks: "This is a congratulatory gift for the Fifth Prince, this is for the Sixth Prince, and this is for the Seventh Prince."

Shi Fuxin watched from the side, and quickly asked: "Is there no eldest prince?"

Mrs. Shi glanced at Mrs. Shi, and when the manager left with the servant, she said: "The eldest prince's congratulatory gift has been prepared, but we have to wait for other houses to start delivering it, so we can follow along."

Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin looked at each other, but didn't ask any more questions. After saying a few words to Mrs. Shi, they left.

"Instead of giving congratulatory gifts to the eldest prince who got married first, Baba gave gifts to the princes who got married later. People in the capital don't know the rules that well."

Out of Yixiang Hall, Shi Fuyin couldn't help sighing.

Shi Fuxin said indifferently: "It's just seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages."

Shi Fuyin looked at her: "It's like this in our house, and it's the same in other families, I'm afraid the eldest prince will feel uncomfortable."

Shi Fuxin was silent: "Since he chose to hibernate, he has to bear this loneliness."

Although this is what I said, but when I thought of the contempt the cheap apprentice received, Shi Fuxin's protective temper came up, and she immediately returned to Lanyue Tower and wrote a letter to the cheap apprentice.

"Your Highness, letter."

Gao Changshou handed the letter he just received to the First Prince.

"I love my apprentice."

Looking at the familiar words, the First Prince quickly opened the envelope.

"Disciple, you are getting married, what gift do you want, do you need to support you as a teacher?"

The eldest prince silently looked at this line of words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and after a long silence, he wrote back the letter.

"All the disciples like the gift from the master."
