Chapter 266: A few blind date banquets
"Yes, you are more suitable for the ministry than me. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The third prince paused, and said with a clear smile: "It seems that when my father promised me to go to the household department, he already had a plan. ”
Yan Xi is undeniable.
Emperor Qiandi was in the prime of life, he was originally an emperor with a ravine, and he was not ignorant of many things, but he had been dormant, waiting for the best time.
"In this way, these brothers of mine are going to be unlucky, the assessment of the officials should be fair and just, but now it has become a hall of words for some people, as long as there is money and background, where do you want to be an official, it is just a matter of a few words. ”
The corners of the third prince's mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile, but he didn't get angry when he looked at it.
"What you sow, you get the effect, even if you are unlucky, you deserve it. ”
Although they are all cousins, Yanxi doesn't have a good impression of other princes.
Xiao Jiu sat on the side and listened to the two cousins talking about the affairs of the court, very bored, and it happened that the housekeeper came in to pay tribute.
"General, young lady, five days later, the wife of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu feasted on the flowers, sent a post, and eight days later, the mother of the middle book order was seventy years old, and ...... The Suguo Mansion just sent a post, and the day after tomorrow I came to visit. ”
Yan Xi only came back a few hours ago, and the nobles in the capital all received the news, and naturally sent invitations for banquets, and they also wanted to see Xiao Jiu, the legendary general's wife.
At the same time, it can be regarded as a good betrayal of Yanxi, everyone knows that Yanxi will live in the capital for a long time in the future, he was originally a clansman, and he has to be valued by Emperor Qian, and his future is bright, so naturally everyone wants to have a good relationship with him.
The most surprised was Xiao Jiu, he didn't expect these people to be so fast, and it was only a few hours before and after, and the invitations were all sent to the door.
Butler Yuan Hai is only in his early forties this year, he used to manage logistics in the army, he was shrewd and sleek, and then he injured his heart and lungs and could no longer go to the battlefield, so he has been recuperating in Yanxi's Zhuangzi, and two years ago he automatically asked Ying to take care of the eldest princess's mansion.
Now it seems that this person really has some ability, Xiao Jiu secretly thought, she should be able to be a little easier.
Xiao Jiu's life experience, you don't need to deliberately check it, as long as you see her face, you will know what's going on.
Therefore, Yuan Hai was not surprised by the greeting post sent by the Su Guo Mansion, and only focused on the affairs of the two foreign families.
"The Ministry of Rites and Rites is the least valued, although it is in the six departments, but it is the least valued, so the princes choose concubines, they have skipped the Ministry of Rites, it is said that this banquet, Mrs. Shangshu is to choose a wishful son-in-law for the youngest daughter. ”
The youngest daughter of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was frail and sickly since she was a child, so she was sent to Jiangnan to recuperate at the age of three, and just returned to Beijing at the beginning of this year, many of whom have not yet seen their youngest daughter. ”
As for Zhongshuling's mother, although it is her seventieth birthday, according to the news inquired by her subordinates, this old lady also wants to take advantage of the birthday banquet to choose a little daughter-in-law for her young son. ”
Xiao Jiu was shocked when he heard this, it turned out that most of the banquets in ancient times were blind date banquets?
But......
"Zhongshuling's mother is seventy years old, so how old is his young son?" Xiao Jiu was curious.
"Thirty is one. Yuan Hai paused, and added: "This younger brother of Zhongshu Ling, who has been obsessed with calligraphy and painting since he was a child, has never touched the slightest mortal heart, so at such an age, he has never married. ”
Although Yuan Hai used words like "heard" and "supposedly", Xiao Jiu believed that he must have inquired clearly before saying it.
Xiao Jiu touched her chin, since it was a blind date banquet, it seemed that this banquet had nothing to do with her, but since it was a blind date banquet, it would definitely be very exciting.
"Third prince, for the sake of your lonely family, at these two banquets, I will also help you take a look at the pearls that can be missed, so that you can pick up a leak. ”
The third prince didn't expect the fire to suddenly burn on himself, his face suddenly turned bad, and he stared at Xiao Jiu darkly and bluely: "The capital is so big, there are hundreds of women in the family, what kind of pearl do you think can be missed?"
Not to mention whether he is a prince or not, a man like him who is clean and self-conscious, he has to rely on picking up leaks to marry a daughter-in-law, and it is a joke to say it!
"I can't say that, I said that the pearl that was left out is to say those little girls who have just reached the end of the year, you have never paid attention to it before. ”
Sixteen or seventeen are all married, but they can only choose from the little girls in the fourteenth and fifteenth five.
Xiao Jiu secretly thought that if the third prince got married two years later, he would really become an old cow eating tender grass, and he could only choose a daughter-in-law from the little girl in the fourteenth or fifth five-year period, but he was already a father in his twenties.
is like Zhongshuling's younger brother, who can be the father of those little girls at an age.
The third prince lost his temper by what Xiao Jiu said, and reluctantly accepted his fate, "Whatever you want, I'll also see what kind of vision you have." ”
Xiao Jiule laughed, squeezing his eyebrows at Yan Xi, looking so unhappy.
"The post sent to the house, you pick it up and send it to Mrs. Yan Xi told Yuan Hai.
"Yes, my subordinates understand. ”
"Well, let's go down if it's okay. ”
After Yuan Hai retreated, Yan Xi said to Xiao Jiu again: "You have just returned to the capital, and you are not familiar with other families, when you enter the palace tomorrow, I will ask my grandmother to help you." ”
The relationship between the families in the capital is complicated, and with Yuan Hai alone, Xiao Jiu will still be very difficult, and Yan Xi is reluctant.
"That's great. "Xiao Jiu was worried about what to do if he didn't know someone and said the wrong thing when he went to the banquet just now, and someone sent him a pillow when he was sleepy, but didn't he just have a heart.
The third prince was very impatient when he looked at the greasy and crooked appearance of the husband and wife on the side, rolled his eyes frequently, and sneered: "As soon as you come back, you will snatch people from the imperial grandmother, and you are the only one who is so unfilial." ”
Yan Xi turned a blind eye to the flowers of the three princes, and directly opened his mouth to drive people away.
"I'm tired, I'm going to rest, you're bored to find someone else, I'm not available. ”
It's really ruthless.
The faces of the three princes were red, and they really walked away with wind under their feet.
Xiao Jiu couldn't help laughing, "You are so angry with the third prince, and you can still be a brother, and you are also true love." ”
"Nonsense again!" Yan Xi knocked on the little daughter-in-law's head and said angrily: "I am true love with him, what are you and you?"
Xiao Jiu pouted and said pitifully: "I'm the main house." ”
Yan Xi didn't understand Xiao Jiu's routine, but subconsciously felt that it shouldn't be a good word, glared at her, and then disappeared.
The couple frolicked and played, and they didn't take the greetings sent by the Suguo Mansion seriously, but at dinner, Xiao Jiu said everything to Mrs. Xiao, and then left it behind.
The next morning, after Emperor Qian's morning court, Yan Xi took Xiao Jiu into the palace.
"I don't know if my grandmother will like the red bean double skin milk I made. Xiao Jiu looked at Yan Xi with a smile.
