Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 453: Not Convenient to Say

Chapter 453: Not Convenient to Say

“Add this too.” Li Hong Yuan had his own personal seal casually tossed onto the table.

Everyone’s complexion once again turned into a strange color. Jin Qinwang, did you forget that Xuan’er is a girl? A girl, understand? A little girl using a seal for her grabbing ceremony, what is the meaning of this? Even if grabbing it, what can come of it? She, a girl, can even have good luck in officialdom? Moreover, it’s even the personal seal of a qinwang. What, in the future, even gonna have a different surname female qinwang? We know your temperament is strange and unreliable, but right now, in this kind of setting, can’t you slightly restrain yourself a little? For better or worse, this is your in-law family, forget causing trouble in other places!

Jing Wan was also somewhat speechless for a moment, but immediately after, her eyes slightly glistened. Why can’t a girl step into officialdom? Everything else aside, if Xuan’er in the future really has this kind of intention, and the ability, with the one holding the highest power being this person next to her, and his feelings towards her still the same, then believe that based on his level of acceptance, he won’t block Xuan’er from taking this path. At present, women serving as officials wasn’t a fantasy either. After all, Cang Jin was displayed there. Their women served as officials, and as long as they have the ability, they can be the same as men, able to have a high position and heavy power.

As for a qinwang and whatnot, she actually didn’t think of.

Thinking to here, Jing Wan’s eyes even carried a trace of expectation.

Li Hong Yuan turned his head and glanced at Jing Wan. As the person who shares her bed, what she’s thinking, there’s no one more clear than him, slightly chuckling. A female official, that’s all, there’s nothing he can’t give. Then, looking to the others, he declined to comment. As the saying goes, getting promoted and conferred into nobility, if she really has that ability, so what if it’s a female qinwang.

As Xuan’er’s parents, encountering this kind of brother-in-law, they were also very helpless, but they really didn’t mind this matter either. Who said a girl’s grabbing ceremony can’t have a seal? Speaking from a certain angle, they even wanted to say ‘good job’. If they were to do this, perhaps they would even get denounced by others, but when switched with Jin Qinwang, those that have complaints can only keep their mouths shut. Thinking of it like this, it really was secretly refreshing.

Then, looking to the others of the Luo Family, perhaps because compared to the others, the times they’ve come in contact with Jin Qinwang was still relatively more, especially Head Minister Luo and Luo Old Madam, towards Li Hong Yuan’s true nature, all very clear, their mental capacity was also very strong. It was just a seal, that’s all. It really wasn’t considered anything. The grabbing ceremony although had a certain degree of significance, in reality, it really can’t represent anything.

The younger brothers and sisters in the same generation as Jing Wan actually were somewhat restless inside, also wanting to throw a bit of something up there. However, in the end, they didn’t have the guts. If they dared to do this, regardless of the reason, they would certainly all get sorted out very miserably.

Sun Yi Jia softly whispered a few words to Xuan’er. This little baby may not necessarily understand completely, but the rough idea, she should be able to understand. Even if not understanding, with this many things in the surrounding, grabbing something to play with out of curiosity, that couldn’t be more normal, just treating as her playing around.

Xuan’er indeed got drawn in by those things already. Sun Yi Jia thus moved back, standing together with the Luo family, quietly watching, not giving guidance.

Xuan’er looked left and right. The majority of things, she’s seen before on normal days, so didn’t feel they were that rare, playing with a little and just tossing aside, causing the people to the side that wanted to say some auspicious words have no choice but to swallow it back every time. After three five times like this, each and every one also just calmed down. If not until the very end, they absolutely won’t open their mouth easily.

Xuan’er grabbed the little abacus, shaking it like a rattle, holding in her little hand, not letting go. However, it seems it didn’t end because of this either, as she continued to grab things, also picking up a small string of copper coins, clanking loudly in her hand. En, taking this too. Towards the end, she grabbed that personal seal of Li Hong Yuan’s, looking over left and right. And probably because she wasn’t able to make out what it was, she just kindly accepted.

With the toys in hand, Xuan’er turned towards her mother, asking to be held.

Just, some people were still immersed in the reality of ‘she grabbed the seal, really grabbed the seal, how come she just grabbed seal’, unable to free themselves. Although it wasn’t to the extent of suffering an enormous shock, just somewhat unable to accept.

If it was just the first two items, without a doubt, that was just being good with finance, full of riches and honor, and so on, certainly picking whatever is good, going all out in praising.

If it was a boy grabbing the seal, then it was bearing heavenly fortune and the grace of one’s ancestors, having a prosperous official career, so congratulations on having a successor to carry on one’s family legacy.

However, this was a girl. A girl, understand? She can only reside in the back manor, assisting her husband and educating the children. Even showing her face in public will all cause others to criticize. That’s why, for a moment, they really didn’t know what to say.

On the contrary, the corner of Li Hong Yuan’s mouth slightly hooked, “She’s a clever child.”

“Of course, look at whose niece she is.” Jing Wan quite ‘shamelessly’ echoed.

“En, indeed.” Li Hong Yuan also very shamelessly approved.

Everyone else, in any case, have already become temporarily mute, so it didn’t matter if they stayed mute for a bit longer. Your Highness wangfei, you have the living Enma backing you, so can just say whatever you want, as long as you’re happy. The living Enma has no principles in pampering his wife. In any case, others don’t even have the fortune of receiving a good face from him. As the saying goes, when comparing between people, one can get angered to death. Who let the Luo family daughters just so happen to enter the living Enma’s eyes.

If not for the setting, Sun Yi Jia very much wanted to roll her eyes at this couple. Because of her family background, the number of times Sun Yi Jia has seen Li Hong Yuan certainly would be more than others, so her understanding towards him was also more than others. Truthfully speaking, seeing his interactions with Jing Wan, for a time, she even suspected that this was a fake Jin Qinwang. The discrepancy truly was a bit a too big. However, she just didn’t have any good feelings towards him, so no matter what he did or said, it was all the same.

With someone opening their mouth, the others naturally won’t continue remaining silent, selectively ignoring that seal, just mentioning the other two things, each saying a line. For a moment, it was very lively, the atmosphere also very good.

After the grabbing ceremony, the time was relatively leisure. At this time, it was naturally just cracking some seeds and eating some snacks to pass the time. Those with a good relationship can even go to the different branch’s courtyard to admire the scenery. Everything else aside, the Falling Plum Residence was considered a pretty good choice.

Speaking of which, the grabbing ceremony originally shouldn’t have been this early and should’ve been set before the formal banquet feast when all the guests have gathered. However, of the people that would come to the Luo Manor today, those that had a very high status and position weren’t in the minority. And regardless whether it was Luo Rong Yan or Luo Jing Bo, to a certain degree, they both weren’t very presentable. If one really were to let them all participate, afraid it really will be cutting the little girl’s good fortune.

It can’t be helped. The imperial courts still haven’t resumed, and there weren’t many that dared to hold a banquet at this time. As such, there were many idle people, so naturally many came.

And because there were many people, the masters of the Luo family certainly all needed to go welcome the guests. Even the relatively close in-laws, as well as the married ladies, were all helping. Jing Wan’s status right now was too high. The ones that were able to make her personally step in were only those of the same rank. Unfortunately, those people, the Luo family didn’t invite. This was also within reason. Thus, Jing Wan just dragged Li Hong Yuan to her former courtyard before marrying. The courtyard’s layout was still how it was before, just now there was no one living here. Everyday after the servants finish cleaning, they would also leave. As such, there wasn’t any human warmth, and in winter, it was just even colder.

However, today, the earth dragon^[1] had long been burning, so this while, it won’t be cold inside.

The servant girls by Jing Wan’s side all still haven’t married, so it was still them serving by her side. Returning here once again, they naturally were very familiar, and very quickly had everything taken care of. Afterwards, they all retreated to the outer room. This kind of thing, they were long accustomed to in the qinwang manor.

Prior to them marrying, Li Hong Yuan didn’t visit this courtyard any less, so he was rather familiar with everything here. As such, the two of them seemingly weren’t much different here than in the qinwang manor, similarly relaxed.

About two hours later, “Wangye, wangfei, Kang Qinwang came with the little shizi.” Gong mama’s voice neither heavily nor lightly sounded outside the door.

“This is coming uninvited?” Jing Wan looked to Li Hong Yuan

“What are you bothering with him for?” Li Hong Yuan didn’t intend to get up in the slightest.
