Old things in the Red Chamber

We had dinner together at noon, and the two parties said goodbye happily. The Ninth Prince continued to take the small road to the northwest, and the silly girl continued to pick up leaves. Neither of them took each other seriously. Although the girl was raised in the village, but She has never enjoyed the treatment of Miss Hou's Mansion, and she is no different from a girl from an ordinary family. Even before her parents brought her back, she didn't know her true origin.

The girls in the farmers never pay too much attention, and there is not much psychological burden to play with boys.So I happily bid farewell to the Ninth Prince, and continued to pick up leaves by myself.

The Ninth Prince then went to the northwest corner. The beauties along the way were similar to the beauties I saw on the way just now. They were all well-educated girls. Even if they were not so well-bred, you wouldn't be able to tell for a while, but look After so much, I just feel the same, and I can't help complaining to the people around me.

"They are all wooden beauties. What are they going to do in the palace? Just choose the concubine today."

He still remembered the words of the imperial physician's warning. He had heard the imperial physician's explanation a few days earlier that female sex must be tasted lightly, otherwise it would be detrimental to health preservation.

When the Ninth Prince returned to the palace at night, the emperor and the empress were waiting for the Ninth Prince, and the emperor smiled and held the cup and asked the Ninth Prince, "Whose girl does my son like, and whose girl do you think can be yours?" wife?"

"My son thinks that the girls you mentioned are pretty good. The girl from the Zhao family is dignified, the girl from the Li family is dignified, and the girl from the Qiu family is also pretty good. My son compares them. No top-notch one has been selected, and this matter still depends on the father and mother."

After hearing his words, the queen heard the echo of the word dignified, and she knew that this kid was not liked by anyone, so she smiled and nodded with her fingers. "Look and see, in the end, this task will still fall on the two of us. Why don't I call these little girls in for a chat in a few days, what does the emperor think?"

The emperor smiled and nodded, "Marriage matters must not be neglected, just follow the queen's instructions."

But in a blink of an eye, the emperor left behind the eunuchs who followed the Ninth Prince into the garden, carefully inquired about the Ninth Prince's whereabouts, heard that he had a meal with a girl, and pondered for a while.

At this time, he did have the anxiety of being a father. After much deliberation, he couldn't come up with a good solution, so he ran to the queen to discuss it together.

"Do you mean by this kid that you have taken a fancy to that silly girl?"

"What did the emperor say? How can you say that she is a silly girl? It should be naive and romantic. But you are right, didn't she have a crush on other girls? Maybe she is embarrassed to tell us that she is with a girl After a meal, I want the eunuchs to tell you about this matter. Otherwise, I will call the girl in to have a look."

The emperor thought about it for a while and specifically asked the queen, "When the people from their family come in that day, you specifically ask them to bring both girls. Since they are twins, you can't favor one over the other."

People in the capital were eagerly looking forward to the final result of this matter, but after a few days the queen ordered girls from several families to send their daughters into the palace to chat.Now the rich and idle people in the capital can't stay idle anymore, and even some places have secretly opened gambling markets, thinking about who will win.

The queen took a special look at Chang Wanghou's two daughters. The eldest daughter is elegant and elegant, and she looks like a noble lady. Although the little girl is honest, she is also the queen's main target. The two eyeballs can't help but turn left and right from standing posture to action. They are not very standardized. The empress suddenly encountered difficulties. If she married a daughter-in-law, she would not be able to stand on the stage. It's been a bloodbath again, even if you can keep a daughter-in-law like her, you may not be able to save the lives of her children. After all, the Ninth Prince can't put his heart on him for 12 hours a day, and there are some things that he can't take care of , must be sorry.

The queen felt that this girl could only be a concubine, not even a royal concubine.

In the evening, the emperor and the ninth prince were called over, and when they sent someone to invite them, the father and son were talking in the imperial study room, and when they heard the queen's invitation, they both left the imperial study room, but just walked The queen's bedroom, walking and talking slowly.

"Don't believe it, your mother and concubine really can't take care of things like that. Maybe you don't want to hear what I say. She is a bit cowardly and incompetent. Others dare not fight back when they bully her."

For the Ninth Prince, the events of the concubine mother's life became far away, and finally degenerated from her voice and smile to a hanging scroll. Except for the irreplaceable warmth she gave him at that time, there is no such thing when I think about it now. A heart-piercing feeling.

When he heard things and comments about his mother from his father, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, and couldn't help but quietly asked his father, "You must have known her temperament a long time ago, but why did you take her into the house?" Did you come from the palace?"

Regarding this question, the emperor laughed very flamboyantly, "That's because your father has the ability to protect his own woman. Let me tell you, except for the queen and your mother, everyone else deserves it, not what they want." .”

The two arrived at the queen's bedroom and began to sit down to eat together. The queen would inevitably comment on the girls at the dinner table, "The two girls of Chang Wanghou's family, the eldest girl is not good, and the second girl is not suitable either. The eldest girl in their family is not suitable." She has a lot of heart and evil intentions, and she dug holes for other girls with just a few words, and even made a hole for her own sister. It can be seen that this girl has a lot of heart. The youngest daughter of their family just behaved There is no table, the most important thing is that there is a string in the head, and living with her in the future may be tiring."

The Ninth Prince recalled that little girl, and thought that it might not be true, maybe he wouldn't feel tired at all talking with such a little girl.

The queen asked someone to bring in a screen, and pointed to the four paintings on the screen, "These are the people I have chosen. Next to them are the positions of their father and brother, and the character of each of them. Take a look. If it is suitable, we will do it like this." deal."

The emperor didn't look at the screen, but turned to ask the Ninth Prince, "I remember that you like that little girl from Changwanghou's family, what do you think?"

The Ninth Prince looked at the portrait on the screen and thought about it again. He couldn't think of these four people at all. He could guarantee that he had seen them. After all, he had glanced at many girls at the Flower Fair that day. Those who observe are indispensable to be seen by him.

"If it's not like this, let's postpone the discussion for a few days after the mother. We will investigate this matter slowly, focusing on their character, and give our son time to think about it."

After all, it was a matter of marriage, and the emperor and queen agreed at that time.

If he met such parents, the Ninth Prince should be happy, but just because the emperor and empress didn't intervene much in this matter, the Ninth Prince was a little hesitant about this matter.

And as a prince who grew up in the palace, he couldn't help but think in his heart at this time, is this my father testing me again?

If it really tests me, what should I do if I don't do well in this matter?

Worrying about gains and losses, he thought that this matter should be resolved quickly.

So the Ninth Prince walked around the hall to think about this matter clearly.

The first question do I have to live with this girl?

Ninth Prince thought for a while, the answer is not necessarily.At this time, it is entirely because I have thoughts, others may not have thoughts, because they don't know what I am thinking.

The second question, is my mind firm?

The Ninth Prince's answer is that he is not firm. The Ninth Prince knows very clearly that he has this country in his heart. Apart from the very stable and resolute pursuit of the country, nothing else can compare to this.

After thinking about it all night, the Ninth Prince went out the next day and told the emperor what he thought.

"The son thinks that the mother is very accurate in judging people, so let's do what the mother said."

The emperor had a certain attachment to marriage, otherwise he would not have been begging for nothing to marry his wife. After listening to his son's words, he instantly felt that his son was a lump of wood. Because he was still young, he might what did you miss?

"If you think about it again, it will be too late to regret it later."

"My son thought about it all night yesterday. When he first met her, he thought that if people found out that she had met with him in private, their family would have to take advantage of her, so he didn't tell her his son's identity. Said that you escaped from a pit of fire. Although the palace is very good, there is one thing, she is only suitable for being in the countryside and mountains, if she is taken into the palace, she may not be happy, and neither may my son."

Now that he said so, the emperor did not force it, he did what he said and did not interfere with the children's choices.

"In this case, go and tell your mother to turn around and make an order here. Although you are not very old, you are not too young. Get married early. It is good to get married."

Now that this matter has been decided, the Ninth Prince will naturally have to inform his confidants.

Jia Gu's family, whether as daughter-in-law or relatives, received the news immediately.

Qi Jingan found it incredible, "The daughters of these families are not as good as our children."

Mrs. Tong didn't care, anyway, on the day of the Huahui, her granddaughter's aura could overwhelm most ladies, not to mention her beauty.

Her eyes were still on raising girls in the Northland, and she felt that as long as a girl could ride a horse, hold a knife, and play with a gun, she would be a good woman if she managed a good man.

"No, my daughter-in-law wants to go back to her mother's house, let my mother enter the palace, and talk to the empress about this matter properly. Isn't our girl better than other girls? Why is this..."

"I never stop you about other things, but you have to listen to me about this matter. It's not like our girl can't get married, so why are you bothering? And if this word gets out, our children will be married again." How should I deal with myself and how should I talk about my in-law’s family?”
