Guo Wenying picked up a few inconsequential words, but didn't say a word about Lu Huaidong pulling her sister to recognize her sister. Later, when she talked about the draft, Mrs. Lu listened to it and couldn't help but exclaim: "So you're going to enter the palace?"

Guo Wenying nodded, "I'm afraid that's the case." I came today to ask my aunt to take care of my marriage. ”

Mrs. Lu laughed, "Do you have a fancy for someone, which family is it?"

Guo Wenying said: "On Sweet Water Street, where the nurse lives, there is an inspector surnamed Jiang, and I want to ask my uncle and aunt to look at each other. ”

"An inspection, a seven-grade petty official, inevitably has a lower family background. Besides, although you have withdrawn from the marriage, the marriage still has to be the master of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, there is a housewife in the house, and your father, we can't go past her. ”

When Guo Wenying heard this, she immediately pinched her thigh hard, and tears flowed out of her eyes. She cried: "My aunt loves me, I don't want to enter the palace, and Mrs. Guo Fu can't wait for me to die, if the marriage falls into her hands, how can I live? I can't marry a big family in such a situation, but fortunately I found a small family, without a father or mother, and the two of them live a clean life. ”

Mrs. Lu was so soft by her crying that her heart softened, and she was also showing her in-laws a few days ago, but it was not easy to find a lovely one. Most of the children of big families in Beijing are sick, not to mention that she can't see it, how can she tell her niece?

There are also those good, the status, status and character are good, but when people heard that it was an old girl, they didn't even ask, so they pushed it. I found a few matchmakers, but they didn't work, and said that she should go to the small household to find it, in case there is a boss who can't find a daughter-in-law, maybe she will be willing to respond.

She listened to the matchmaker's nonsense, was annoyed for a while, and scolded the matchmaker. But looking back, it's the same reason, the niece doesn't want to marry a high family, and there is no need to care too much about the family. And the niece of the lord is not the same as other families, and her behavior is not like that of Miss Boudoir, and she has a pair of heavenly feet, even if she really marries into a wealthy family, she may not suffer many crimes.

After thinking about it, he said: "I'll discuss it with your uncle when I go back, ask him to meet that Jiang Inspector, and then talk to that Fu Ying." A good kiss of yours has made her stir yellow, and she can't push you into the fire pit. ”

Guo Wenying hurriedly thanked her, with her uncle and aunt in charge, this matter was half done. She knew Fu Ying's thoughts, and tried her best not to let her marry well, and I heard that the few people she found were all old and dead wives. However, in her eyes, Jiang and his entourage are a poor family, and they are not a good family, so they may be able to respond.

She left satisfied, and it was a good thing for her to be able to find someone she looked at, and to be able to get rid of Feng Jingting.

When Lu Junqing went home in the evening, Mrs. Lu was busy mentioning what Guo Wenying told her. He also said: "The child means that she doesn't want to enter the palace, since she has someone she likes, it is better to fulfill her." You take the time to meet that Jiang Inspector, and I heard Wen Ying say that he is not bad. ”

Lu Junqing pondered for a moment, "This is what Wen Ying personally mentioned to you?"

"yes. ”

Lu Junqing smacked his lips, "This thing is not easy to do." ”

Mrs. Lu was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"When I entered the palace today, the emperor specially mentioned it to me, saying that I heard that there is a niece in our family, who is nineteen years old this year. As soon as he talked about this, Lu Junqing felt that his brain hurt.

He didn't know how he got the emperor's eyes right, every time he saw the driver alone, as soon as he finished playing, the emperor always had to talk to him a few words, and always wrote about his family affairs.

I mentioned a sentence to him about his niece today, and he didn't wonder at the time, so he only casually responded to two sentences, and later came out to know that the emperor ordered unmarried women over the age of nineteen to participate in the draft.

If you ask as usual, you would just ask, but today I deliberately said this, isn't it obvious that I want to ask Guo Wenying to enter the palace? But my niece doesn't want to go, which is troublesome.

Mrs. Lu also felt a little embarrassed, and asked, "Can the emperor directly say that Wen Ying was allowed to enter the palace?"

"I didn't mention it. ”

"It's good that I didn't mention it, fortunately, pretending to be confused, let's just don't know, let's kiss Wen Ying first. ”

Lu Junqing nodded again and again, still his wife was reasonable. In previous years, they were thirteen to eighteen-year-olds to participate in the election, although there were no rules on private marriage in the year of the draft, but these ten years were all decorations, and the emperor did not really choose someone to enter the palace, most of them went through the motions, so each family should be a family or a family. Since there was no explicit decree, they did as usual.

Who asked the emperor not to say it, if you don't say it, you should not know, and he doesn't want to fight his niece for his future, which annoys the emperor, so it's a big deal to resign and not do it.

"Okay, I'll go see the guy surnamed Jiang tomorrow. ”

What can make her niece take a fancy to her must not be an ordinary person.

Jiang and his entourage came out of their homes early in the morning, and as soon as they arrived at Yashang, someone told him that someone from the ministry said that they wanted him to go.

Jiang and his entourage were stunned, and their first reaction was what they had done?

These small officials with sesame seeds and mung beans grabbed a lot of them in Beijing, and smashed down a plaque on a rainy day, hoping that they could hit the two of them.

Let him go to the ministry? What's going on?

I asked the official who came to deliver the letter, "My lord, what is the matter with the lower official?"

Although he was just a minister, he was arrogant, his eyes were on the top of his head, and he didn't look at him, only snorted contemptuously.

When he saw that, he simply didn't ask, anyway, he hadn't done anything to be a traitor, so it was just a big deal to offend someone and be taught a lesson.

Entered the gate of the Ministry of Officials, but was taken directly to Lord Shangshu's public room, he stood at the door for a long time, and his heart was even more up and down. When the dignified officials saw him, could they scold him?

After a while, it was heard inside, and he cautiously pushed the door in, only to see an official in a red robe sitting on the chair opposite, with a very serious expression.

He knew that it was Lord Lu, the official of the Ministry of Officials, and he was busy saluting, "The lower officials have seen Lord Shangshu." ”

Lu Junqing glanced up at him, he looked moderate, he couldn't say how handsome he was, but he looked very comfortable, and he was honest and steady. He asked people to inquire that this Jiang and his party have a good character, their official reputation is also very good, they are not corrupt and criminalized, they do not go in and out of the land of fireworks, they usually live a simple life, and there are not so many messy things.

He nodded secretly, his niece's vision was not bad, like a person who could live.

He asked, "I heard that you are from the Jiazi Nian Martial Arts Detective Flower?"

Jiang and his entourage hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, that's exactly the case, Xia Guan has learned martial arts since he was a child, and he knows some punches and feet. ”
