Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again
Chapter 100 The Dust Settles X Entering the Palace
The small hall has been divided into six small compartments facing each other on the left and right by screens.
A white gauze curtain was set up in front of the compartment, and the floor was covered with felt carpets and cushions for the bride to be chosen to kneel on.
Zhang Xueming had been cultivating his spiritual consciousness all the way and was now clearing his mind to rest.
The other five brides-to-be were all very nervous, but in such a serious atmosphere, they dared not speak a word. They could only sit still and wait to be chosen.
Gong Ziyu's bodyguard Jin Fan followed an elderly maid into the room. The maid stopped between the compartments where Lin Zhenzhen and Liu Wenxi, two brides to be chosen, were and indicated that Jin Fan should choose between them.
Jin Fan's mind was in a mess, but he didn't dare to disobey the elder's order. He calmed down and looked carefully at the brides to be selected in the compartments on both sides. He pointed to the fair-skinned, frail and slender bride to the nanny with his eyes.
The nanny stretched out her left hand, and three words were written on the palm of her hand: Lin Zhenzhen.
Jin Fan took a deep breath and said loudly, "Please invite Miss Lin Zhenzhen to the Blade Holding Hall."
As soon as this was said, a bride-to-be asked disappointedly, "The new swordsman has chosen Miss Lin? What about us then?"
The bride next to her whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry, according to the palace's marriage selection rules, even if she is not selected by the new sword master, every bride will be given a good family as her home. Firstly, we are all daughters of the palace's allies in the martial arts world, so we won't hurt each other's face; secondly, it is also the palace's rule that those who are not selected will try their best to stay in the Old Dust Valley and marry into a noble family."
As everyone was discussing quietly, Jin Fu walked in from the door. He looked at Jin Fan, then said loudly, "Please invite Miss Zheng Zhaozhao to the Blade Holding Hall."
He was stunned for a moment before he said it. He should have said his full name. He had always heard his son call him that, so he said it without thinking. But it was too late. He didn't want to change it at this time. It would make him lose his momentum.
Fortunately, Zhang Xueming didn't care. He just glanced at him and let the matter go. He walked out of the cubicle and handed him the cloak.
Jin Fan led Lin Zhenzhen, and Jin Fu naturally followed Zhang Xueming with his cloak in his arms. The two groups entered the main hall of the Blade Hall one after the other.
At this time, Gong Yuanzheng had already stood on the left side where the elders were, below Elder Xue. When he saw Zhang Xueming coming in, his eyes suddenly lit up and the corners of his mouth curled up, making the baby fat on his cheeks more obvious, making him look even younger.
Fortunately, he was clear-headed and didn't say anything. He just looked at Zhang Xueming, who stood opposite him after saluting, and smiled with his teeth showing.
Not to mention Gong Shangjiao on the high platform, even the three elders standing in the same row with him couldn't bear to watch.
Elder Yue quickly stood up and announced: "Since Master Zheng and Master Yu have already chosen their future brides, then, Lin Zhenzhen and Zheng Zhaozhao, the two girls will be the fiancées of the two masters and move into the Yu Palace and Zheng Palace from this morning."
Gong Shangjiao was stunned and Zhang Xueming was stunned.
Jin Fu wanted to laugh. See, he wasn't the only one who was led astray.
Zhang Xueming and Gong Shangjiao looked at each other from a distance, speechless. Forget it, it's too late, let Zheng Zhaozhao be Zheng Zhaozhao, it's too embarrassing to argue in class at this time.
Gong Yuanzheng keenly noticed their little movements and was also stunned for a moment, but he didn't rush to be jealous. He went over Elder Yue's words in his mind again, and then he realized: Zhao Zhao was his wife's nickname, and Zheng Zhao Zhao was called by her brother to express his dissatisfaction with her. Elder Yue probably didn't take the bride selection information seriously, and he changed the name for her without hesitation.
But he couldn't explain why. Gong Yuanzheng just felt that Zheng Zhaozhao was more suitable for his wife than Zheng Nanyiyi, and it seemed that she didn't even like the title of Second Miss Zheng.
Since he didn't like it, there was no need to change it. He would talk to his brother and ask him to write a letter to his father-in-law to explain that from now on, Zheng Zhaozhao would be called Zheng Zhaozhao.
Gong Yuanzheng happily made a unilateral decision. Thinking of what his wife said about the Zheng family sending her frequently used items, probably more than a hundred boxes, he might as well make it clear in front of the elders now, so that people would not misunderstand that it was the money earned by his brother from outside and want to get a share of it.
"Wait a minute." He did what he thought, stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Zhi Ren, fellow elders, Miss Zheng's dowry is still in the Zheng family. Could Zhi Ren please arrange for someone to notify the Zheng family so that they can send Miss Zheng's dowry over?"
Dowry? The three elders looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the first time they heard that the bride's family had something else to send to the palace in addition to the two boxes of items brought back by the wedding procession.
But looking at Zhang Xueming's appearance, and the fact that she was the only daughter in the family, the future of the Zheng family was uncertain, so it was only natural for Master Zheng to give her more things to live on. Besides, he had just used the little girl as a ladder to ease the relationship with the two brothers Gong Shangjiao, so it was difficult to refuse.
Elder Yue said amiably, "Then please let Zhiren arrange it."
Gong Shangjiao looked at his brother with new eyes and nodded, "Then follow the elder's wishes." Not wanting to favor one over the other, he asked the bride, Lin Zhenzhen, who had a lot of questions in her head and still hadn't figured out what her husband was like, "Miss Lin, do you need to send a letter home?"
In fact, once the marriage is decided, the bride's family will be informed secretly, but it is not appropriate to ask directly whether there is a dowry to be received.
This petite girl with a weak and vulnerable face turned out to be straightforward. When she heard Gong Shangjiao's question, she knelt down and saluted: "Thank you for your consideration. I was just wondering how to notify my family to send my dowry." Yes, of course, there are still 3,000 nails in the broken boat. Marrying a daughter is not selling a daughter. Even if the betrothal gift is used to make up the number, the dowry will not be given.
What? This one too? The elders were shocked. Without Gong Shangjiao as a guarantor, they had all seen the information of the two potential brides that Gong Ziyu could choose from. Didn't the Lin family say that they had fallen into poverty? Then why didn't the previous brides have any additional dowries?
Confused and unable to ask in public, the three old men could only watch as Zhang Xueming bowed and was happily led away by Gong Yuanzheng. Gong Yuanzheng also took away the cloak that Jin Fu was holding.
Now that he had a status, Gong Yuanzheng didn't care whether it was broad daylight or not. He followed Zhang Xueming, said "Go back to Zheng Palace", lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and went in.
The four palace guards who were carrying the sedan chair were so worried that their faces turned bitter: We can go back to any place, but you two must not start the pharmacology quiz mode again, as they don't want to have a buzzing head and lose their appetite all day long.
In the sedan, Gong Yuanzheng smiled like a flower, no longer sticking to the sedan wall, his arm touching hers: "Zhao Zhao, the man you wanted has been found."
"Really? Ayuan, you are amazing. You came up with a solution in just one night." Zhang Xueming exclaimed in admiration, "Tell me, how did you solve it?"
Gong Yuanzheng felt sweet and proud, but he wanted to keep it a secret, whispering, "You'll know when you get to Zheng Palace." He glanced at her to see if she was unhappy, and said, "I sent someone to the women's guest house to move your things to Zheng Palace. We can just go back now."
When they arrived at Zheng Palace, Zhang Xueming found that the door of the main hall was wide open. Two familiar maids led Qing Zhi, Su Rong and a group of maids to stand in two rows facing the door. When they saw Gong Yuanzheng leading her in, they knelt down and saluted neatly: "Greetings to Master Zheng and Miss Zhao."
It turned out to be the female nanny who had given her a physical examination in the morning.
The maids were most likely from the female guest house, and one of them had even given her a gold medal before.
"Good fellow, you emptied out the female guests' quarters in one go?" Zhang Xueming wanted to laugh.
Oh my God, these must be the experienced ones under Madam Fu, right?
It is really hard to collect the ten taels of gold from the Lord of Zheng Palace.
Anyway, she didn't believe that Nanny Fu didn't cry.
(Madame Fu: What can I do? Woohoo~ The little poisonous kid at the palace gate threatened me with poison. The woman thanked him for the golden hairpin, but the man turned around and came to grab her. You two young people are really unkind!  ̄へ ̄)
