Chapter 124 The childhood sweetheart who deceived the feelings of the sinister official (12)
one year later--
Ji Chutang has reached the age of marriage. Although her father and mother want to keep their daughter for a few more years, it is time for her to find a suitable husband so as not to waste the child's time.
If you stay, you will become enemies.
On the day of her coming of age, the Ji family's favorite concubine in the palace gave Ji Chutang many fine items as a reward to build up Ji Chutang's popularity.
Although Ji's father was only a small fourth-rank official in the capital, he was also the relative of the Third Prince's mother, Concubine Shu, so Ji Chutang's coming-of-age banquet still attracted a lot of attention.
Although the entire Shangjing City was not paying attention to it, it was still quite prestigious to hold it.
On the evening of her coming-of-age ceremony, Ji Chutang discovered a beautiful and exquisite pearwood box suddenly appeared on her dressing table.
When you open it, you will see a hairpin carved from red blood jade. It is exquisite, beautiful and priceless.
He quickly called Hua Rui over.
"Who gave this coming-of-age gift? Why is it not put into storage but just placed here?"
Huarui came closer, also with a puzzled look on her face, she had never seen anyone give such a coming-of-age gift.
Explain everything to Ji Chutang immediately.
Afterwards, both the master and the servant fell silent. This object of unknown origin appeared so clearly on her dressing table. Then next time, she might be killed in the house and no one would know.
Neither the master nor the servant dared to say anything.
If this matter gets out, it will have a huge impact on Ji Chutang's reputation. Ji Chutang also wants to marry into a wealthy family.
How could I allow my reputation to be tarnished?
Naturally, it was concealed, and the red blood jade hairpin was naturally sealed in the corner of the dressing table, never seeing the light of day.
Although this thing is valuable, precisely because it is too valuable, Ji Chutang has no excuse to hide it and can only let it gather dust in the corner.
After the age of 15.
Ji Chutang attended banquets hosted by young ladies from various families more frequently. Although she had just reached the age of 15, she needed to find an opportunity to marry into a wealthy and powerful family in advance.
At the same time, the reputation that had already been built up had also shown its effect.
In addition, she was extremely beautiful and had a certain reputation and status among the rich girls in the capital.
If it weren't for her humble family background, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the most beautiful woman in Shangjing. In terms of appearance alone, no young lady of the same age in Shangjing could compare with Ji Chutang.
However, there was still no wealthy family willing to propose marriage and take her as their legal wife.
Ji Chutang was angry and anxious.
The third prince wanted to reserve a position as a concubine for Ji Chutang, but Ji Chutang was unwilling.
Although the status of a prince's concubine is already very respected.
However, Ji Chutang was unwilling to be a concubine.
Therefore, rejecting the Third Prince just happened to fulfill Concubine Shu's wish. Concubine Shu hoped that all the people around the Third Prince would be women with superior family background and status.
Although Ji Chutang was her niece, if she was willing, she would turn a blind eye, but she didn't want to, so it was best this way.
Moreover, her family's status is not prominent, and her brother cannot give her much help. If she wants to compete for that position, she has to consider many aspects.
If Tang'er could marry into a wealthy and powerful family, this in-law would be a great help.
Therefore, the ideas of Concubine Shu and Ji Chutang coincided to some extent.
Only the third prince did not get what he wanted.
……
Another year passed, and Ji Chutang's marriage was still not finalized, even though he had several opportunities to arrange a good marriage.
But they all failed unexpectedly.
Ji Chutang almost started to wonder if he was not destined to be rich.
For example:
The second son of a second-rank official had the intention of proposing marriage.
The parents of both sides have secretly contacted each other.
All that’s left is to exchange the horoscopes to match them, and then go and propose marriage.
But he suddenly changed his mind, saying that their horoscopes were incompatible.
Ji Chutang was so angry that she smashed a lot of things in her boudoir.
Another time, in the royal family, Prince Yu's second grandson also fell in love with Ji Chutang. The other party admitted that he would marry no one else but him, and even his parents, who were about to argue, agreed.
It seemed that Prince Yunyang's wife, who had been reluctant to give in, was about to give in.
It just so happened that Li Shiyang broke his leg while riding a horse. A wandering Taoist priest said that he was too close to someone who was incompatible with him, so he suffered this disaster.
If we force ourselves to stay together, our lives might be in danger.
Such words frightened the Yunyang Prince's Consort so much that she firmly refused to agree to their marriage.
No matter how Li Shiyang made a fuss, and even put him in solitary confinement, he just refused to agree.
That was also left as it was.
Another time, the eldest son of the Zuo Xiang family had just the slightest affection for Ji Chutang and met with an accident. He encountered robbers in the suburbs where he had walked countless times at the foot of the most peaceful Shangjing City.
Not only did he lose all his belongings, he was also severely beaten, leaving his face bruised and swollen, and his handsome face was almost disfigured.
Ji Chutang was so angry that she felt someone was deliberately messing with her.
After all these things spread out, Ji Chutang, who already had difficulty marrying into a wealthy family, had even less chance.
She could only settle for the next best thing. Even if she couldn't marry into a first or second rank family, she could marry into a family of a third rank official, but the other party had to at least be the eldest son.
However, even so, Ji Chutang failed to achieve his wish.
Instead, he attracted a bad love relationship.
At a flower-viewing banquet hosted by Princess Fukang, she met the second son of Marquis Lin'an.
The man behaved frivolously, with dark circles under his eyes, and at first glance he looked like a playboy who often frequented brothels.
Although the other party had not yet married, Ji Chutang had no thoughts about him, so he never wanted to provoke him.
Unexpectedly, this guy was like a dog-skin plaster, extremely tactless, and stuck to Ji Chutang eagerly, wanting to talk to him.
Even though Ji Chutang clearly stated that he didn't want to have too much communication with him, the other party still seemed to not understand or hear anything.
After the banquet, a matchmaker came to the door the next day and said that Marquis Lin'an wanted to form an alliance with the Ji family.
Ji's mother treated the matchmaker well.
Although the second son of Marquis Lin'an was a notorious playboy in the capital, Marquis Lin'an had other sons, not just that one useless son.
Her daughter's marriage was full of twists and turns, so Ji's mother was also anxious.
In addition, no matter how low the Ji family's profile was in the capital, they still had favored concubines and princes as their backers in the palace.
I believe that Marquis Lin'an would not be so confused.
So Ji's mother entertained the matchmaker who came to her house well.
Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Lin'an was so confused and so over the top. Not only did he come to propose marriage for that unreliable piece of shit, but he also didn't want her to be Xu's main wife.
It is said that she was taken as a concubine, but does that mean she is no longer a concubine?
Ji's mother was so angry that she ordered the matchmaker to be kicked out, without giving any face to the Lin'an Marquis' Mansion.
The wife of Marquis Lin'an felt that the Ji family did not give them face and looked down on her son. She was very angry and spread the word that the daughter of the Ji family was a disaster star and their family was willing to take her as a concubine.
I've already given you enough face, but you still dare to refuse them. You're simply shameless.
After this incident, the Ji family and the Lin'an Marquis's family became completely enemies. When the matter was discovered by the Concubine Shu in the palace, she became furious.
Then he whispered something in the emperor's ear.
Afterwards, Marquis Lin'an was fined his salary, and his wife was also scolded by the maid in the palace.
Reprimanded her for being confused at her age, not taking care of her own son, and spreading rumors about unmarried women.
She is short-sighted and unfit to be a clan wife. She is not presentable and brings disgrace to the officials in the court.
The Lin'an Marquis' Mansion brought shame to the entire Shangjing City.
