Chapter 454: Meeting the Queen Mother

Chen's complexion changed drastically, his body was short, and he hurriedly distinguished: "The courtiers never have this intention!"

Empress Dowager Xiao squinted at her and didn't speak, her eyes were full of fierce light. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info At this moment, Queen Xiao, who was decisive in the past, returned to her.

Chen's dealings with Empress Dowager Xiao are not a day or two, although they are not very close, but Empress Dowager Xiao treats her well.

This is the first time, seeing such a sharp look from Empress Dowager Xiao, Chen's back was shocked.

It is said that Empress Dowager Xiao was powerful when she was young, and the Chen family can only be regarded as having learned today. She hurriedly said: "When Brother Xiang was ten years old, his grandfather found him an excellent master to practice martial arts, and he went there for several years before returning to his home in the old year. I didn't see anyone, even if the courtiers wanted to plan for him, they were powerless!"

Wu Zhengxiang left the house at the age of ten, and when he arrived at Emperor Qinglong, he was personally taught by Ying, and this matter was extremely confidential. In the Zhongguo Mansion, except for Wu Sheng, no one knows. Externally and internally, they all followed the master to practice martial arts.

Mrs. Xiao was a little gloomy in the back, and this reason was barely said in the past. It's just that the Chen family really has to have a heart, and there are many ways. It's just that I didn't take him to heart, and I wish he died outside.

Taking a sip of tea, Empress Dowager Xiao asked lightly, "What about now?"

Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was not afraid of the current situation, sat up slightly straight, and said: "The Queen Mother knows, except for Brother Sheng, we only have Brother Xiang'er as a man. How could a courtier's wife not plan for him? This daughter-in-law who marries in must not only be a good match for her family, but also have to consider everything in her character, virtue, and appearance. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded, her face was slightly softened, this is the reason.

"Therefore, Brother Xiang'er was old and crowned, and the courtiers thought that they had delayed these days, so they secretly began to look at each other, and also let Jiao'er and Brother Sheng's daughters-in-law find them all over the capital. ”

Lu Shi nodded hurriedly and said, "The Queen Mother doesn't know, and my mother has already ordered it to come down." The courtiers also went home and discussed with their mother, asking her to keep an eye on the clan. It's just that the mother's requirements are high, and the girls in the clan, the well-raised concubines are unwilling to marry the concubines, and the mothers of the concubines don't look down on them. ”

With the evidence of the Lu family, seeing that the Chen family's selection of daughters-in-law is also meticulous, Empress Dowager Xiao finally accepted the fierceness in her eyes and said: "It can also be regarded as meticulous." ”

"This year, the emperor has named General Xiang'er Yunlu, and the courtiers think that this is a good idea, and the concubines of the best families can also think about it. Chen said with a smile: "It just so happened that the courtiers picked an excellent candidate, who can be regarded as a well-matched, demure and dignified woman." I asked Zhongguo Gong and Brother Sheng, and they all said that they were excellent. The courtiers let Jiao'er go to the Anguo Mansion and asked Mrs. Zhuang to go to the woman's house to protect the media. ”

"Oh?" Wu Zhengxiang's identity is really not easy to find a wife, seeing that the Chen family said so firmly, Empress Dowager Xiao was also interested, and scolded with a smile: "Don't sell Guanzi, which woman's family is it?"

Chen said with a difficult face: "It is Mrs. Zhuang's newly recognized daughter, the great-granddaughter of Tu Shanchang, and she will be married next year." She is good in everything, but it's a pity that she is still serving her mother and can't discuss her relatives. Today, even if the Queen Mother doesn't ask, the courtiers will come to ask the Queen Mother. Such a good woman, the courtiers are really worried that if they don't settle down quickly, they won't be able to find it again. ”

"The righteous daughter of the Anguo Mansion?" Empress Dowager Xiao thought slightly, and understood that this was the eldest daughter of the Xu family who only entered Beijing in the spring. She doesn't care about things now, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't know about the movements in the capital.

Although the Xu family is inconspicuous, the Tu Shanchang and the Anguo Mansion behind Xu Wanzhen are among the best in the capital. If Empress Dowager Xiao didn't even know about the movements of these two families, she wouldn't be sitting here today.

This family is a perfect match, the status of the Xu family is a little low, but fortunately, she has the status of a righteous daughter of the Guogong Mansion, which just matches the concubine of the Zhongguo Mansion. Since the door is not a problem, the rest is to look at the person.

"Mrs. Zhuang went to protect the media, what did the Xu family say?" Even if there is a desire to promote this matter, it is still necessary to find out whether the Xu family is willing, and the Empress Dowager Xiao does not want to do good deeds and attract scolding.

"The Xu family only said that because they were in the filial piety period, they couldn't discuss their relatives for the time being, and they had to consider one or two. "Facing the Empress Dowager Xiao, how dare the Chen family deceive, 1510 said.

With a smile on his face, Lu Shi looked at Empress Dowager Xiao and said: "Empress Dowager, Mrs. Zhuang and Miss Xu are here today, why don't you ask in person? ”

"It turns out that your two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law fought this idea. Empress Dowager Xiao smiled: "What if the young lady is unwilling?"

Lu Shi pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "That also has a result, and the courtiers have to hurry up and look at each other." The age of the second brother is there, where can I afford to wait a year to discuss it?"

Having said that, in fact, she is very sure in her heart, according to Xu Wanzhen's hypocritical temperament and family background, she can marry into the Guogong Mansion at a high level, and she can't find such a good thing with a lantern, how can she not agree?

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded and said, "That's right." In that case, the mourning family will help you once. ”

Chen suddenly burst into laughter from the bottom of her heart, and this time the smile reached the bottom of her eyes, making her face look much softer, and she hurriedly bowed down and thanked her: "Courtiers, thank you Empress Dowager." ”

"Please come to Mrs. Zhuang and Miss Xu. Empress Dowager Xiao instructed Liuli.

Mrs. Zhuang was talking and laughing softly with Shi Jingfu, and the arrival of Liuli made her slightly surprised. According to the old practice, when the ladies of the Chung Kook Mansion returned to their seats, it was their turn to be in the Anguo Mansion.

She got up and left her seat, and Liuli said again: "Please join Miss Xu." ”

Mrs. Zhuang glanced at the Chen family, who was in front of Empress Dowager Xiao, suddenly woke up, and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, let's go." ”

There was a hint of surprise in Xu Wanzhen's eyes, and she immediately pressed it again. Wu Zhengxiang had already discussed this layout with her, and there was a tacit understanding between the two. Depending on the situation, it should also be his handiwork.

Empress Dowager Xiao has several spring stools in front of her, which are prepared for these ladies and ladies to sit and play homely. There are only two people in the Zhongguo Mansion, the Chen family and the Lu family, and there are still many empty seats.

Mrs. Zhuang took Xu Wanzhen forward to salute, Xu Wanzhen's eyes drooped slightly, and she found a position not far away, only sitting on a small half stool, with a straight back and a demure smile on her face, silently listening to Mrs. Zhuang and Empress Dowager Xiao.

As Empress Dowager Xiao spoke, her eyes swept over Xu Wanzhen, who was sitting silently, and she nodded slightly in her heart.

Although this child was born in a business, the etiquette rules of this body are not bad. Tu Qionghua is worthy of being the "Beijing Shuangshu" of the year, and the girl who was raised by her hands is really good.

She looked over with a smile and said, "This kid has a fresh face, come over and let the mourning family take a good look." ”

Xu Wan really got up, and her skirt did not move a single bit. When he arrived at the Empress Dowager Xiao, he smiled and said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the courtiers entered the palace for the first time today, and they were able to meet the Queen Mother, and the courtiers were full of joy." ”
