The emperor's family also had a few poor relatives. When even the most basic decency could not be guaranteed, the marriage of children was a good bargaining chip.For example, some down-and-out imperial relatives have no choice but to let the children of the family marry those merchant women as wives. After all, this can bring them a lot of dowry. Of course, the premise is that they have to provide certain convenience to these merchants. After all , With the name of a royal family who beat around the bush, at least these merchants can be exploited several layers less. In addition, the daughters of the concubine are fine, and the daughters of the concubine can also find a wealthy family. The dowry is a sum of money!

Li Yue is naturally a better choice than those rich businessmen or local rich men.And their plan is also very good. If the daughter of the family does not adapt to the life in Lingnan, they can return to Chang'an after giving birth. At that time, the Minwang Mansion in Chang'an will be their own daughter. Will he accept a side concubine or something? Hehe, he is not the emperor, so the concubine has the right to inherit. In other families, the concubine is completely different from the concubine, right?A better family will give the concubine a future, but a bad one, it is normal to treat the concubine directly as the servant of the concubine.The royal family is better, but under normal circumstances, the eldest son inherits the title. As for the bastard, if he is well mixed, he can get a title or an official position, and the rest are just better than ordinary scholars.

In short, Li Yue hasn't stayed in the Lishan courtyard for a few more days, and there are a lot of posts like snowflakes. In addition, all kinds of party invitations are endless.

Princess Gao Yang came to visit with her son, and when she saw these posts, she couldn't help curling her lips: "They're all shabby households, just because you are thin-skinned, I'm sorry to refuse! You, it's better to go less, so as not to directly I got caught!"

Li Yue was taken aback: "You rely on me, what are you doing?"

Princess Gao Yang said with a smile: "These people, they say they are the royal relatives, but they are actually far away. Like this, his grandfather married our grandfather's younger sister. Maybe he still missed some old love when he was around. , when our father is in power, these people are just relying on this status and the benefits of mixing soup and water, and they dare not speak out in front of the father! Now, seeing that the saint has a better temper than our father There are many, one by one is a little bit more courageous! But what's the use of being brave, they may have a little affection back then, but now, what else, let alone them, even the Dou family back then, Dugu Family, Yuwen’s family, are not as good as before! They are begging you for nothing more than seeing that you have brought benefits to many people before, and they are counting on you to support them! However, you and them Not familiar, so you have to get acquainted first. It happens that you are not married yet, and these people have nothing else to do, but they have a lot of good-looking daughters at home. I'll just rely on you!" Having said this, Princess Gao Yang's expression became a little sarcastic.

Li Yue was a little embarrassed. He pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, I don't plan to get married for the time being. Although Lingnan's development is not bad now, people who have adapted to the climate in Guanzhong will be able to get married soon." It's inevitable that the climate is not acclimatized there, not to mention, no matter what I marry a wife, I have to marry a like-minded person, I can't just look at my identity and appearance!"

Seeing Li Yue's solemn words, Princess Gao Yang asked, "What do you think is like-mindedness?"

Li Yue also doesn't expect to find a time traveler from later generations to be his wife. Besides, the time traveler might not like him, maybe he still wants to be a queen mother in the future. I don't have such ambitions, so, Li Yue I hope that the future wife will at least be open-minded, willing to accept new things, and willing to accept a broader new world.Don't get it to the end, the two of them look at each other and talk to each other, one thinks about the stars, the sea, poetry and the distance, while the other only thinks about his own little life, that would be meaningless.

Therefore, Li Yue said honestly: "Seventh sister, you also know that I am not a law-abiding person. I am tossing about this and that all day long. I have no interest in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and poetry. Forget about being a talented girl. Although I don’t expect the other party to be able to learn those things from me, I still have to be more interested in it. Otherwise, it’s hard to be true to each other in the future. Even as a guest, there is a difference between having a good conversation and being relatively silent Woolen cloth!"

Princess Gaoyang was a little stunned by this. Datang actually had relatively few restrictions on women. For example, the princess also enrolled in the Hongwen Museum back then.But for those like Princess Gaoyang, going in is just a waste of time, and after that, everyone will stop going.The lives of noble ladies are actually very rich, but they are not required to be self-motivated. Therefore, their daily life is actually like that of most of the later generations of celebrities. It is nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun. Those who like sports can play polo and chuiwan , throwing pots, and those who don’t like sports, there are various hobbies that can be cultivated. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry are all considered leisure. In addition, there are flowers and fragrances, beauty and make-up, and various social interactions.It can be said that noble girls these days actually have a very rich life, as long as you are willing, it is not a problem to play from morning to night.What kind of fame can they have outside, it is nothing more than good poetry, calligraphy and painting, or good at commenting. Of course, beautiful family background is also a plus factor, but these famous ones are mostly unmarried girls. , Even if they still often participate in these social activities, married women rarely make a name for themselves in this kind of thing.Of course, there are not many famous female poets, calligraphers and painters at the moment. In fact, as long as they have good taste, good appearance and background, they will be very popular in the circle of noble women.

In the end, Li Yue did not ask the other party to be a talented woman, but hoped that the other party would be interested in what he was interested in. Immediately, there was not much room for choice. In fact, the women Princess Gao Yang knew might be interested in politics. There are still many, who would be interested in sailing, steelmaking and ironmaking!Princess Gao Yang said helplessly: "Your request, I'm afraid it will be difficult to choose a suitable princess!"

Li Yue said with a smile: "Ning Que Wu Lan, the wife is not someone else, and they want to spend the rest of their lives together. If there is no one who suits them, wouldn't it mean that they will not be happy for the rest of their lives?"

Princess Gaoyang sneered: "If you don't like a wife, it's not that you can't take concubines! If I didn't like Fang Yiai, I would definitely find some beautiful young men outside!" She said it without guilt, it can be said that He was very righteous and confident: "Young people, marriage is a thing that gets together when you get along, and breaks up if you don't get along. If you like it, it's the best. If you don't like it, why do you want to make this a burden for yourself? People like us, wait for it." It’s true that it’s not easy to reconcile, but it’s just a matter of putting on an appearance to the outside world. You can do whatever you want. You’re a rich man, not some poor countryman. You don’t know how much effort you’ll have to spend to marry a daughter-in-law. How about embarrassing yourself?"

Regarding Princess Gao Yang's words, Li Yue also has nothing to say. This is the typical difference in the three views. Just maintain the harmony on the surface, and then play on your own?This is too irresponsible!When Li Yue said this, Princess Gao Yang almost laughed so hard that her stomach ached: "Sure enough, I'm still a child. In fact, look around here, how many people can really respect each other like guests! It's better to tear up your face and become a resentful spouse. Let's all open our minds and play our own way!"

Li Yue felt that she was despised, but the concept of marriage in the Tang Dynasty did not place much emphasis on loyalty. In other words, everyone didn't care whether you were loyal to marriage, as long as you were loyal to the interests of combining two surnames!Of course, there are actually not many people who play very seriously, like those princesses, who do it blatantly, even less.

Princess Gao Yang didn't encourage Li Yue's behavior, but said: "You have been in Lingnan all year round, so the so-called seeing people's hearts over time, even if a little girl now shows an appearance of being like-minded with you, what if she is pretending? , you married someone back, but it turns out that the other person is not what you thought, what are you going to do then? But, you don’t really plan to find someone in Minyue, do you?” At this point, Princess Gaoyang suddenly felt a little nervous. Get suspicious.

Li Yue just smiled and didn't speak, maybe it is!He doesn't have high requirements for his wife's background. If he can find a suitable one in Fujian and Yue, then he naturally doesn't mind marrying him directly.

Li Yue thought this way, but other people didn't think so. I don't know who broke the news that Li Yue had reached the age of marriage, and the emperor and empress in the palace were considering the candidate for Princess Min. All excited.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu felt that Li Yue's marriage was difficult because of the premise that Princess Fujian needed to follow Li Yue's vassal status after marriage. However, in the eyes of more people, all they needed was a name, and then they could I made a lot of money by riding on Li Yue's ride.As for the fact that if the concubine wanted to follow Li Yue to become a feudal clan, then, according to their thinking, Li Yue would have to pay more benefits.What's more, these days, women sound like they have a higher status. In fact, their economy and even personality cannot be said to be independent. Since they enjoy the benefits brought by the family, they naturally need to sacrifice for the family.Ordinary interests are naturally not enough to make them give up a spoiled daughter, but when the interests are high enough, it is not necessarily so.In other words, as long as the dowry is high enough, they don't mind taking on the reputation of being a prostitute, and even arrange it when the time comes. It is said that the children met by chance before, and developed some friendship, and they are willing to accompany them all over the world. It is even more a good story for the parents to fulfill it!

In short, after Li Zhi arrived at the Lishan Palace, in addition to those who were qualified to accompany the driver, they ran to the palace from time to time to ask for an interview, and some other people who were not qualified to accompany the driver also ran to Lishan. No, but there are always some people who are not in Chang'an all the year round, but Zhuangzi is still there, so they can rent it temporarily, and then think of a way to meet Li Yue by chance, or ask for connections everywhere, hoping to show their face with the empress, so that their family The daughter was put in the candidate for Princess Min, and she was already down and out, thinking that if the main concubine couldn't do it, there would be a side concubine!With an identity like Li Yue, there should have been two concubines in the first place!Although the side concubine is also a concubine, but like the Crown Prince Liang Di of the Eastern Palace, they are all able to get the jade certificate, so naturally they cannot be regarded as simple concubines, even the main concubine, there is not much to do with the side concubine.If the main concubine has no children, the child of the side concubine is likely to be canonized as the heir king.

Therefore, even those families that are much more down-and-out now than they were back then feel that their girls have a chance, and they don't think that Li Yue will refuse at all. After all, men, under reasonable and legal circumstances, who would refuse three wives and four women? Where is the concubine?

In fact, even Li Zhi and Empress Wu thought so. After figuring this out, the two found an excuse and held a banquet in the Lishan Palace.There are many hot springs in Lishan, and even in winter, there are blooming flowers. Therefore, it is very normal to hold a flower viewing party here.However, it wasn't until Li Yue came over that he realized that this was actually a blind date, and he seemed to be the main character in it, and the others could only be said to be incidental, such as He Lanminzhi.

When Li Yue faced the scene of the ancient blind date, he felt goosebumps all over his body. He once again felt the fear of being dominated by social terror. Although his expression could not be said to be stiff, he also felt that it was not pleasant. According to the algorithm of later generations, Li Yue is still a minor at this age, and in the end she will face a marriage urge.

Although none of the people present would blatantly say that this was a blind date, no matter if they were men or women, they tried their best to dress themselves up as outstandingly as possible.At this time, men still have the tradition of applying powder and incense. In today's cosmetics market, a considerable part of it is actually consumed by men, especially aristocratic men.

Li Yue didn't have this habit. In his previous life, except for men's facial cleanser, he never used any skin care products. It's the same in this life. At most, when the climate is dry, he uses a little glycerin separated from making soap to moisturize.

Li Yue doesn't despise those teenagers who put on powder, but it makes him feel that he is out of place here. On this occasion, Li Yue must have felt that this was a very wonderful scene, but now, Li Yue only felt embarrassed.

In the end, a few acquaintances came to chat with him, and Fang Yiai was one of them: "What do you think of Shiwulang? The last time I saw such a grand scene was when the late emperor chose concubines for today's sages!"

"What nonsense is brother-in-law talking about?" Li Yue glared at Fang Yi'ai. Can this kind of thing be compared?

Fang Yiai curled her lips and said, "That's the way it is. The sage was only King Jin at this time, so there's nothing to say! However, you are welcome enough, even though there aren't many dignified women here, However, there is nothing good about being a daughter of an aristocratic family, if you become in-laws with those aristocratic families, hey, you will suffer!"

Li Yue frowned and sighed: "If I had known it would be like this when I came back, I wouldn't have come back!"

"Not this time, it will be the same next time!" Fang Yiai persuaded, "Actually, these are quite outstanding, if you don't take advantage of this time to choose, after waiting for a while, maybe it's not as good as it is now! Now that you have chosen someone, you have to go through the six ceremonies afterwards. It will take a year or two to get married at that time, and it will be just right for you to get married. You don’t care if you delay, but these little ladies will not wait for you forever of!"

"Wait for me to do, there are many noble children in Chang'an City, no matter how bad it is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will get married in a few years!" Li Yue muttered.

Hearing what Li Yue said, Fang Yiai couldn't help snickering a few times, and then said: "Don't stand here stupidly, there are several young ladies over there peeking at you!" Push forward.
