[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

After the emperor walked the stage and sang the opera, Linlin asked someone to bring water to wash his hands, and brought Bai Ze and Zou Wu to eat together.

The two little brothers also know that they have chosen a son-in-law for Princess Shouchun recently.Now that the dust has settled, Bai Ze rolled his eyes, wanting to meet this son-in-law.

"Mother, stepmother, queen, what does the son-in-law look like? Is it ugly? If he is ugly, we will not recognize him as a brother-in-law."

Linlin's eyes widened, "It's just that you have a lot of things to do, so hurry up and eat. Can you be good-looking and eat? How do you say that? Zhu Yan's words are beautiful and beautiful, and the world can't keep them..."

"Mother, you said it the other way around, it's hard to keep it in the world, Zhu Yan's words are mirrored, flowers are treed..." Under Linlin's stare, Bai Ze automatically silenced his voice.

In my heart, I was quietly slandering whether my mother had ever read a book...

Zou Wu was eating voraciously, manipulating the chopsticks with a pair of small hands to pick up slices of meat one after another in the plate. Just after Linlin reprimanded Bai Ze and saw Zou Wu again, she felt that life was full of malice towards her.

I am more determined that I must have a daughter.

The emperor also saw that Zou Wu was eating very ferociously, so he couldn't help but give him two chopsticks of green vegetables, "Just eat enough, don't overeat."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zou Wu's chubby body, and thought that he should wait until he finished eating.

Bai Ze was still a bit unwilling to give up, "Father, can I see brother-in-law?"

"Don't worry, there will always be time for you to meet."

Bai Ze took this matter to heart, and when Qilin came back, he ran over and asked him, "What does the son-in-law look like, and whether he looks good, Sister Shouchun asked me to ask."

Qilin thought about it for a while, "The appearance is not bad, and the conversation is extremely honest... Let's see again, which good man has the word "good man" written on his face, and the same reason, which bad man has the word "bad man" written on his face. It’s good, but it doesn’t work.”

After the dust settled on this matter, the weather entered the hottest summer. This is also the time when everything grows the fastest, and some melons and fruits planted in Zhuangzi can just be picked and eaten.

Qilin finally found a short-footed horse, and after he got on it, he was able to steer the horse to run. Finally, he didn't have to let others sit behind him to control the horse. He was happy to take this horse with him everywhere.

The Queen Mother's Xiaozhuangzi is now in the harvest season, and the Queen Mother wants to let her grandson take care of her own property, so Qilin often goes to this Zhuangzi.

I met Qing'er several times on the road. Qing'er heard that Chun'er, who taught her to read and write, is now engaged and can't go out. She rushed to do some needlework for a few days and asked the unicorn to bring to Chun'er.

After returning home, her grandma asked, "Have the things been delivered?"

Qing'er nodded.

"They're all big girls, and it's time to find a husband's family."

Qing'er's father was guessing, "I don't know which son I'm looking for, he must be a wealthy family. It's a pity, if we come a few more times, our child can get some benefits by getting to know him..."

Before finishing a sentence, Grandma Liu took a sip, "I just want to take advantage of it, and I don't take a pee to take care of myself. I don't want to eat as much as I want." I washed some melons and fruits, put them in my pockets, and went to the city with my grandson, Ban'er.

Qing'er's mother came out and asked, "Where are you going, old man? You don't even know where the door of Cui's house opens."

"I'm not going to Cui's house. I heard from Uncle Cui's family. Their wife will come this year. I'll go to Jia's house and give them some melons and fruits. Thank you for the money in winter."

"You old man, don't go, they don't like our stuff at home."

"It's our intention to look good or not. I'll go thank their second grandma."

The grandparents and grandchildren brought a big bag of melons and fruits, took an ox cart on the road, and when they arrived at the back door of Rongguo Mansion, they asked someone to bring a message to Ping'er.

Ping'er still remembered this old man who came to play the autumn wind, and asked someone to take this old man in. Seeing that she was wearing a big bag, he said a few polite words first, and asked people to untie the bag. Take it to the kitchen and bring it over.

Ping'er sat on the side of the couch and talked with her, "Our grandma is not at home today, she went to the old lady's yard, send someone to invite her back, if she doesn't come back, don't be offended by your old man."

Grandma Liu smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, "It's not strange, it's not strange, this trip is mainly to see grandma and the girls, and it's also our heart. The things here are the first ones, and the top-notch outfits are picked. Come here, if the girls are happy to eat, we will appreciate it."

While talking, two maids came from the old lady's yard and said they wanted to invite Grandma Liu to the old lady.

"Our old lady just wants to talk to an old man who has been there for many years. It just so happens that this grandma is here. Grandma will go with us. It will be for your benefit."

After hearing this, Ping'er helped Grandma Liu off the couch, "Don't be afraid, I'll go with you."

Grandma Liu just felt that she followed these fairy-like girls from one courtyard to another, like a fairy palace in the sky. No matter how she walked, she couldn't get to the end. Nice looking yard in front.

Grandma Liu looked left and right, with a smile on her face, and whispered to Ping'er, "This is better than the big temples over there."

After hearing this, the two little girls who led the way looked at each other quietly, secretly looking down on Grandma Liu.Ping'er had no choice but to tug on Grandma Liu's clothes, "Don't talk nonsense, old man."

"Girl, I know the rules."

A group of people walked down the corridor, there were many maids and servants standing outside the curtain, no one spoke in silence, the two little girls who led the way were about to open the curtain and go in, but were pushed away by a few girls in gold and silver One, pushed back.

Grandma Liu could hear the voices of the wives and grandmas in the house from outside the door.

I heard a person say, "...just read some books, you can be a son-in-law. Our family Baoyu has some talents. If he also goes to take the imperial examination this time, maybe..."

Grandma Liu then heard the voice of Second Grandma Lian, "I heard that she is also from the south of the Yangtze River. The family is a farmer. When I am not busy, my brothers go to the city to sell some things. I went back to my aunt's house the day before yesterday and heard my aunt talking about the son-in-law. The mother is a bit out of shape, there are no rules."

The person who spoke at the beginning knew envy just by hearing the voice, "I heard that there are many good things for dowry. This is also the emperor's first princess. People from Xue's family asked from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the dowry is 30 million. so much."

A third voice rang out, "That's all, it's their luck. Their family really burned high incense in their previous life. By the way, send someone to ask where Grandma Liu has gone?"

The two little girls who led the way hurriedly opened the curtain and entered with a promise.Replied a few words in a low voice inside, Grandma Liu was waiting outside the door, when a third voice said, "Please hurry up."

Ping'er gave Grandma Liu a push, "Go in."

……

After tossing and tossing for a long time, when Wang Xifeng came back, all the lights in the house were already on, and Jia Lian also came back. Seeing that Wang Xifeng only came back with two masters and servants, he was not only a little angry. "Why is it so late? Just now our eldest sister was still looking for her mother. My old man clumsily put the girl to sleep."

Ping'er hurriedly went to Xijian to have a look, and saw that the elder sister was lying down and sleeping without covering anything.

Then hurriedly found a small blanket to put on her body, came out and said to Wang Xifeng, "Our second master is confused, why don't we cover the elder sister with something, I'll go and watch it, for fear of fever tomorrow."

Wang Xifeng scolded the nanny a few words, washed her face and talked to Jia Lian with a teacup.

"Grandma Liu came today, and the old lady insisted on keeping him, saying that she would invite him to visit the garden tomorrow."

"Is that the country woman who came to beat the autumn wind? The one you got chestnuts from someone's grandson's pocket last time?"

"It's hard to say, that's it."

Jia Lian didn't speak, and took out a few banknotes from his boot shaft and handed them to Wang Xifeng, "Take it, last month's income."

Wang Xifeng quickly put the teacup on the table, took it with both hands, and counted happily, "This month is not bad, 50 taels more than last month."

Jia Lian was also happy, "The business will be better in the future, especially during the Chinese New Year, these things are indispensable for every family's gift."

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes, folded the silver bills and discussed with Jia Lian, "During the Chinese New Year, our family also needs to buy some tea leaves to give away, and we also want to drink some. I'll ask someone to buy from your shop, and you can get ten taels of tea leaves for you." We charge 5 taels more, and when the time comes, take out two taels to the Cui family, and we can earn an extra three taels."

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, this money is not earned by themselves, someone is willing to earn it, and the fat water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, this is the decision.

Jia Lian was in a good mood, and Wang Xifeng also smiled.The two of them took out the box containing the banknotes under the lamp, and Wang Xifeng counted the banknotes in the box, "Tell me that the Cui family is righteous enough, and has earned tens of thousands of taels of silver with us."

Jia Lian watched and locked the box and hid it, and said to Wang Xifeng, "Their children are discussing their marriage right now, and it hasn't been settled yet. You know what's in your mind, and we'll prepare a congratulatory gift when the time comes."

"How old is the eldest son of their family?"

"It's not his son, it's his eldest daughter, who was born by my aunt when his wife didn't come in. Brother Cui told me that his wife has kept a straight face in recent days, so it might not be a big deal."

When Wang Xifeng thought about not having a wedding for her child, it was a little too much, but on second thought, it didn't come out of her own stomach, so why bother.

"Don't worry, I will make sure to get a decent gift when the time comes."

Jia Lian suddenly remembered something, and asked casually, "Did Grandma Liu bring those pickles piled up on the porch in front of our door? Ask someone to clean them up and send them to the kitchen. If you don't send them to our eldest sister, she will play." It's melons, I came back to see her squatting and counting melons."

"Don't worry, I will deliver it tomorrow morning."

He looked at the money box happily again, "No wonder the madam got the Cui family's idea at the beginning. They are lucky, and they can make money by doing business. Now our family is getting worse every day. You don't even know that the madam is jealous of the son-in-law today. At home, the dowry brought in by a daughter-in-law is enough for generations to eat and drink."

Jia Lian sneered, "What? She wants Baoyu to be a son-in-law? Don't look at the difference in seniority. Baoyu's sister is a concubine in the palace. If Baoyu marries a princess... what do you think about the seniority in the future?"

Wang Xifeng waved the handkerchief nonchalantly, stood up and shook off the thin quilt, "What are you thinking about so much, let's just close the door and live our lives. I'll go to the old lady to order a dick when I'm free. I'll see The old lady is a bit unhappy now."

"The old lady in our family is living a good life, why is it not satisfactory?"

"If you wish, can you keep Grandma Liu? Why don't you show off your family's wealth to an ignorant old man?"

Jia Lian disagreed with this statement, "What I said...maybe that the old lady has been unhappy for the past few months and wants to talk to an elderly person."

Wang Xifeng couldn't help giving him an example, "You don't even think about it, what did the old lady look like when she was still in contact with her aunt? Look at the same look in the past few months.

How did I hear that my aunt's house is going to show up to my cousin? "

"This kind of thing is so common. Boys should marry when they are in college, and girls should be married when they are in college. Cousins ​​should be married at the same age."

At Lin's house, Lin Hao was thinking about it while sitting in the corridor at night.

"I don't have much contact with him on weekdays... He meets me again and again, is it because of my sister's idea?"

Xin Yun sat beside him and shook his fan, "Master, you must be thinking too much, maybe he wants to win you over."

There is also this possibility.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, and see if we can meet again tomorrow."

On the second day, Lin Hao went out again, and this time he said to Lin Liang as soon as he left the house, "To whom's house and which way to go today, Uncle Liang decides, don't ask me."

Lin Liang thought about the alleys and roads in the capital. "Then let's take a walk today."

It is not good to take a narrow path, that is, when two parties meet on a narrow road, they cannot pass each other.

In the small alley, I met an acquaintance, Jia Lian.

"Hey, isn't this my cousin?" Jia Lian happily stepped forward and patted Lin Hao on the shoulder, "Where are you going?"

"Visiting a friend today."

"Let you pass first." Jia Lian told the servants behind him to stick to the wall to make way for his cousin to pass first.

Lin Hao couldn't help being polite first, "My cousin is older than me, so my cousin will pass first."

"No, no, my cousin hangs out every day when he has nothing to do. It's not as good as you who have something to do. You go first."

"Then my brother will be disrespectful." When a group of people lined up and led their horses forward, they saw another group of people coming in from the exit.

Lin Hao felt an urge to scold the sky.

It was none other than King Jing who came in.

In terms of status, he is a county king, and it would be unrealistic to let him withdraw.

The two cousins ​​here saw it and decided to retreat to the other side to make way for others.

"Brother Jia Shi, brother Lin, what a coincidence, we can meet by chance in such a small place." King Bei Jing had already walked over, waving his fan.

Lin Hao grabbed a handful of Jia Lian's clothes, "Cousin will stand in the way of my brother first, and later my brother will buy you a drink."

When Jia Lian heard this, he hurriedly went up to greet the King of Beijing. After Lin Hao dealt with it for a few words, he led the people back slowly.

King Beijing Jing came here specifically to block Lin Hao, and he would not let him slip away at all.

"A few days ago, I invited Brother Lin to drink at Xiaowang's Mansion, but I never had the chance several times. This time, it just so happens that we all go together."

This time Lin Hao still repeated his old tricks, saying that he had something important to do and wanted to leave immediately.

King Beijing Jing didn't give him a chance at all, and grabbed Lin Hao's wrist as he squeezed through the crowd.

"Xiao Wang invited Brother Lin over and over again, why is Brother Lin unwilling to take the time to come?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Hao was not allowed to refuse to hold his hand and walked out of the alley.

Cars, horses and sedan chairs were parked outside the alley, and Bei Wang wanted to invite Lin Hao into the car.

Jia Lian hurried up, "There is such a good thing, how can I be without me, what are you two doing? Why don't you take me with you."

Jia Lian could tell that Lin Hao might be in trouble today.

"Cousin was joking. Cousin told the prince that my brother really has something to do. He can't go anywhere else."

"Brother Lin is clearly avoiding Xiao Wang."

The three of them were in a stalemate at the entrance of the alley, and some members of the Lin family came to look for Lin Hao on horseback, "Master, I have found you. The empress and empress are very happy. Just now, a eunuch came to our house to deliver an order to seal the master. The master and wife let the servants I'm looking for you to go back and receive the order together."

Lin Hao thought in his heart that God was helping me, so he hurriedly bowed his hands to the others and said excuse me, grabbed a horse, got on it and ran away.

Bei Wang wondered whether this matter was true or not.Seeing that Lin Hao had run away, Jia Lian had no need to stay, "I don't know if this is true, I'll go find out first."

After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry.

Lin Hao ran halfway and looked back. No one was chasing him, so he relaxed and let go of the rein.

"You guys are too bold, how can you talk nonsense about such a thing." But I still believed a few times in my heart, "It shouldn't be fake, right?"

The person who came to deliver the letter was very happy, "How could such a happy event be fake? My lord, go back quickly. The emperor was so happy that he appointed our lord as the prince's protector. What kind of official is this, and what does it have to do with His Royal Highness?" "

Lin Hao was happy, "It's an official position in the Eastern Palace." He thought in his heart that the emperor had already started to add official positions to the Eastern Palace.The prince gradually had his own connections. "

After returning home, Jia Min whispered to Lin Hao, "Your Majesty, too. The prince is our mother's child. Even if you don't make the master, isn't the master planning for the prince?"

Lin Ruhai said, "A woman's opinion."

Before I had time to speak, someone outside said that the Beiwang Mansion sent a congratulatory gift to the family, which was for the uncle. "

Lin Hao was a little annoyed immediately, thinking that it was endless.

As an old fox, Lin Ruhai knew a lot. Seeing his son's performance now, he heard Lin Liang tell him that the King of the North has been blocking his son recently.

Thinking of a possibility in my heart, I was so angry that I almost burst into anger.

Said to the housekeeper, "Let people return the things, and put it mildly, saying that you will not be rewarded for meritorious service, and you dare not accept things."

Then he said to his son, "You should study at home recently. Let me tell you about the preferences of the elders in the court. You can concentrate on studying in the future and set an example for your younger brother. You can also raise your son well. If you go outside I learned something nonsense, and see if I don't break your leg." After finishing speaking, he planned to check it out.

Lin Hao thought to himself what have I learned?

Then he watched his father walk away angrily with his hands on his back.

The joyful atmosphere at home was disturbed by this gift without a trace.

When Lin Daiyu came to the living room, she only saw the depressed back of her eldest brother.

"What's the matter? Just now people called me here in a hurry, why are you the only one left when I come, where is daddy, and where is mother?"

"Daddy should go to the study. Mother was humiliated when she happily went to make some deliveries to the palace."

Lin Daiyu sat next to her elder brother, "Amitabha, I feel busy for the Bodhisattvas in the temple. Just wait and see. When our mother goes to the temple to pray to God and worship Buddha tomorrow, I will add another prayer to protect my mother."

When Lin Hao heard this, the two brothers and sisters burst out laughing at each other.

"As long as you know a lot, you don't know how my sister is doing in the palace?"

"It's not easy. When my younger brother comes back in a while, the eldest brother just needs to hold him, and you'll know if he's okay or not."

The two brothers and sisters were sitting in the hall waiting for Lin Jiao to come back.Lin Jiao was downcast when he came back.

Lin Hao took a look and thought he was fighting with someone outside.

"What's wrong with you? Did you fight or quarrel? Why are you listless?"

Lin Jiao sat aside, "Don't mention it, just after I came out of the East Palace, many people congratulated me when they saw me, saying what did Daddy do to be a prince and protector... From now on, Daddy will watch me study again... It's annoying just thinking about it."

Lin Daiyu asked him, "What did you do that you dare not let your father know?"

"I also learned some horseback riding and archery from the horse bow master, and I also learned how to use a big knife. If I have a chance, I will show it to my brothers and sisters. The master praised me for being very spiritual in this. You said that if I asked my master, he would Won't you ask our father to intercede with me?"

Lin Hao thought it was unlikely, so he shook his head and asked him, "Have you seen Big Sister these days?"

"I haven't seen big sister. I've been busy these days and I don't have time to see us. But the roast chicken at noon is delicious. The crown prince saw that I liked it, so he gave me the chicken legs."

Lin Daiyu stretched out her finger and tapped her younger brother's forehead, "You said, is there a lack of food for you at home?"

Lin Jiao put her head against Lin Daiyu's finger coquettishly, "This is different, it was a gift from my elder sister, I'm sure I like it."

Lin Hao wanted to pull the two of them apart, and saw the housekeeper's wife trotting in, "Master, the Northern Prince's Mansion has delivered something to our house again."

"Why did you send it again? Didn't you just say you would send it back?"

"The servant girl looks different from the one that was sent back just now, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Don't look at it, return it to him. The master said that you will not be rewarded for your merits. Our two families have nothing to do with each other. They gave us things for no reason..." After finishing speaking, I saw my sister sitting on the side, "Return it and let our old housekeeper Go back yourself."

After all, Lin Jiao was studying outside and listened more. "Does he want elder brother to go to his house to drink and compose poems? I heard people say that he invited many celebrities, and everyone said that King Bei is a virtuous and corporal figure. Maybe he has his eyes on you now. Eldest brother said that he is also a prostitute after all, Already qualified to go to their house to drink."

After Lin Daiyu heard this, she just said, "Growing fame."

Lin Jiao said at the same time, "I heard from Su Xiaoer, who was studying with the prince with me, that the Northern King likes erotic poems and prose, and poems with images of wealth and honor are his favorite. These words It was his brother who told him."

Lin Daiyu whispered to her brother, "I'm afraid I can't have a deep friendship with this kind of person."

Lin Hao nodded quickly, thinking that what my sister said was right.

Lin Jiao rolled his eyes, "I still keep those poems written by Jia Baoyu last time, or else my brother would give Jia Baoyu a push and let the two of them get to know each other. At that time, the King of the North will forget about you as a flower lover." Three years later, there was another Tanhua Lang, you old man is useless, so he set his sights on the groom."

Lin Daiyu glared at her younger brother, "What about the old man and the bridegroom, be careful, daddy will teach you how to behave."

After speaking, he stood up, "Sit down and talk. I'll go to the kitchen and ask my sister-in-law if the soup is ready, and then I'll ask my mother to come out."

The two brothers here stood up quickly, one said that sister had worked hard, and the other said that sister had worked hard.

After Lin Daiyu went out, Lin Hao grabbed his younger brother, "Where are those poems? Give them to me first, and I will use them when they are useful."

Lin Hao felt that he might have thought too much a while ago. Maybe Bei Wang wanted him to cheer him up and make a name for himself, not because of his sister's idea.

Thinking of this, my mood improved a lot, "Don't be in a hurry to get it, just put the things away, should your pony be fed, let's feed it together."

The two brothers happily went to the stables, and King Bei Jing was a little puzzled when he saw the things that had been returned.

"The brushes, ink, paper and inkstones that were sent just now have been returned, and the painting scrolls that have been sent are also returned now. Don't people in their family like those things?"

There was a little eunuch at the side who suggested, "My lord, you have used your strength in the wrong place. You want to let them know that you have a crush on his girl. Why do you give something that their men like?"

"Marriage is a matter between the two families. Her father and brother must first feel that the king is reliable before they can move forward."

The old eunuch didn't understand even more, and they couldn't see it when they did these things.

You get someone to come straight to your door to propose marriage and it works better than anything else.

"What are you fussing about?"

The concubine of the Northern Palace didn't understand it herself, "Why don't you send someone to their house to understand what you said?"

"Impossible, the beauty is so abrupt."

The concubine "..." Why was the marriage proposal so abrupt?

Quickly changed another method, "I'll find a proper person to go to their house to find out what's going on, and then there's no need to spread anything bad. It's better than you messing around here. You sent things twice today, and they They were all confiscated, and they blocked people a few times a few days ago without drinking alcohol. This method doesn’t work anymore, just try what I said.”

"Be sure to find a proper person."

Toffee nodded, "Don't worry."

Bei Wang was not at ease, "You must find someone who is safe and strict with his mouth. If it spreads bad news to Miss Lin, you must also find someone who can speak well."

The concubine choked for a moment, "Don't worry."

The right person for the concubine is Mrs. Bowlinghou.

Mrs. Bowlinghou knew Jia Min before she got married, but after marrying into the Shi family, the relationship between the two was better than before because of their relationship.

But because Jia Min went to Jiangnan for a few years, the relationship between the two gradually cooled down. After Jia Min returned to the capital, the two began to communicate again.

After going around for so many years, the two of them can be regarded as a group of children.

The two of them went out to watch a show together one day, and Madam Bowling first asked, "What have you been up to at home lately? I sent you a few posts but they didn't come out."

"It's not about the daughter-in-law's affairs. My mother-in-law is thousands of miles away. As a mother-in-law, I can only treat her better."

Madam Bowlinghou nodded, "You've made it through, and you'll be able to hold your grandson soon."

Then sighed.

Jia Min asked, "Why are you sighing when you are so good? I heard that your brothers and sisters are also very good. What are you not satisfied with?"

"I'm just talking to you and me. I wouldn't say anything to other people. It's not the Xiangyun girl in our family. She is afraid that people will say that we treat her badly. She eats and uses my daughter. On top of that. Just go around saying that I treated her badly."

A niece is not the same as a concubine, and Jia Min had no way to comfort her, so she patted her hand, "I've gone through 99 steps, and I'm still one step away. Find her a better family to betroth her to." Go out, clean up each other in the future, don't worry about it anymore."

"You sound nice. She has no father and no mother. Even if she matches her, they will still pick and choose her."

When I said this, I lowered my voice, "I didn't mean anything else when I said this today. I just wanted to mention something else to you. I was also driven to the shelves, and someone asked me to ask. Let me ask... what is your little daughter's plan now? What kind of family do you want to find her? Bei Wang... what do you think?"

"It's too straightforward for my cousin to say this."

"I'm not the one who hides it. It's hard enough for me to say those few words just now. But it's also from my heart. My niece's marriage really gives me a headache."

After hearing this, Jia Min thought about the chance meeting at Xiangmu Temple that day, "Did someone from the Northern Prince's Mansion ask you to come here?"

"Correct."

Jia Min sighed, "Bei Wang...that's a good family."

Mrs. Bowlinghou pursed her lips and smiled, "We have been friends for so many years, so don't play tricks in front of me. No matter how good the family is in this world, it can compare to the family your eldest daughter married. Your family With such a good in-law already set up, the others can't be considered good families."

"My cousin speaks quickly. I don't care about the status of the family. You know our family status. Our ancestors are not considered low. Now we are all relying on the eldest daughter. We dare not pick and choose the palace, but... we girl……"

Jia Min racked her brains to think of a reason that would not hurt the girl's face but also tactfully refuse.After thinking about it for a while, I just couldn't think of it, and looked at Mrs. Baolinghou anxiously, "Cousin-in-law, help me think about it, how can I look decent when I refuse."

"Are you stupid? From your old lady to yourself, you like to burn incense. Since you have worshiped the Buddha for so many years, at this time, in the name of the Bodhisattva, you say that children should not marry early. Their prince is not young now. , the concubine is waiting to hold her grandson, your family can afford it, but theirs can't."

Jia Min thought about it, "It's my cousin who loves our family's Daiyu. I'll ask the child to serve you tea and toast later."

"Quickly save it, it's not bad for your family's sip of tea, don't make it difficult for the child. I thought you would come down happily when you heard that it was such a family. The eldest daughter is the queen and the younger daughter is the princess. How much do you tell me?" Enviable."

Jia Min waved her hand, "You only know how to look good, but you don't know the pain inside, so if you don't talk about it, please ask your cousin to go back and tell their concubine like this, just say that the eminent monk said about our Daiyu You cannot marry early."

"I remember, if I post another post next time, please don't be pushy. I am not only a lobbyist for the old aunt in Rongguo Mansion, I also invite you to the theater and drink tea. Our friendship is our friendship. , when will I use our friendship to persuade you to do this and that."

Mrs. Baolinghou said good things, and Jia Min apologized again and again, and the two separated from each other. As soon as Jia Min got home, he hurried to find Lin Ruhai.

"Today I went out with my cousin, Mrs. Baolinghou, and she told me that King Bei wants to marry our daughter."

Lin Ruhai blushed furiously, "It's unreasonable, my daughter doesn't marry such a person, don't look at him not married now, how many concubines he has raised in his family, and he still has...unclear. It's a A person who is not taboo about meat and vegetables, such a person still wants to marry my daughter, he thinks beautifully."

When Jia Min saw it, he was really angry, and he wouldn't be so annoyed if it was a matter of ordinary importance.

"I just said that it's not easy for children to marry early, so I pushed it off."

Lin Ruhai nodded, and he clenched his fist and beat his chest twice to relieve his breath, "I think it's probably because the empress is in the main palace, the prince is smart, and that's why he wants to marry our family."

"Since our family is not willing, they can't force our family. Don't be angry, master. This matter is over. Let's investigate secretly. We will discuss with them whoever's child is suitable. When the time comes In three years, we will discuss marriage with our children."

The couple didn't hide this matter from Lin Hao at all. Lin Hao knew about it, and Lin Jiao also knew about it.

The two brothers were brushing the pony in the stable. Lin Jiao heard his brother talking about it angrily, so he quickly squatted down and beckoned his brother to squat down too, and the two of them talked quietly under the pony's belly.

"I asked Su Xiaoer this morning, and he told me something. I'll tell you quietly, you are not allowed to tell daddy. If he finds out, he will definitely beat me up and say that I don't learn well."

"Say it."

"You promise you swear."

"I swear, if I say it... I will break the bowl once a month when I eat, so talk quickly."

Broken bowl, is this a poison oath?

Lin Jiao thought for a while, then lowered his voice and murmured a few words in Lin Hao's ear.

"Really?"

"Su Xiaoer told me personally, and he also said that this kind of thing is elegant and good in the eyes of literati." After speaking, Lin Jiao only felt goosebumps all over his body, "If all literati are like this, I still Be a warrior."

Lin Hao also had goosebumps all over his body, "I'll discuss it with my dad, and I'll replace you with some old-fashioned long-term followers, otherwise we won't be able to find a place to cry when you learn badly."

Lin Jiao was in a hurry, and quickly stood up and grabbed his brother's clothes, "Why did you turn your face and go to tell Dad about it? Think about the poisonous oath you made just now, and eat broken bowls!"

"Don't worry, I'm just asking Dad to mention it politely."

Lin Jiao watched his brother go out, touched his head, and asked the standing little white horse, "Do you think I wronged him, but Su Xiaoer told me this. Forget it, I'll And if you don’t know him, you’ll be wronged if you’re wronged. Those people are really good, just read more books and practice martial arts if you don’t have anything to do, and cut off sleeves if you like.”

The pony couldn't speak, so Lin Jiao talked to himself for a long time, went to the side to carry half a bag of black beans, dumped it in the manger to watch the pony eat, and forgot all about it after a while.

Children are always like this, they are more carefree, even if there is something, it doesn't stay in their minds for a long time.

Adults have a better memory, and Linlin clearly remembers how hard it was when she was pregnant with her first three sons.

But after the child was born, all kinds of suffering seemed to evaporate.

Thinking about it later, I still have a bit of pride.

But in fact, I don't want to go through it again.

Unexpectedly, she was pregnant again this time, and Linlin hadn't recovered from this "good news" for several days.

The people around were very happy, the maids and eunuchs walking in the palace were happy, Qilin Bai Ze and Zou Wu were also very happy, and the emperor was even happier.

"Our princess is coming soon. I have already thought about it. When the time comes, her title will be Princess Xianyang. Xianyang is an unusual place. Back then, the first emperor was here to rule the six kingdoms. Many people say that near Xianyang is the Qin Dynasty. Longmai, although our daughter can't live there, such a title is enough to make her stand tall among his sisters."

After speaking, she turned her head and saw Linlin's lack of interest, "What's the matter? Do you want to eat something? I vomited again or is it uncomfortable?"

"Backache."

"It shouldn't be, you haven't shown your bosom at this time, why is your back sore?
