Although Xiao Jiu also came out and walked around a few times after giving birth, his mouth was very tight, and he didn't miss any news at all, after a long time, these women in the capital also understood that this concubine of the Suguo Mansion raised by mud legs was never stupid.

And she is still a neat one, and she is not afraid of causing trouble, whoever dares to give her no face, she can return it on the spot, but she doesn't return it, Yan Xi can also get his wife back face in the court on the second day, which makes many people murmur secretly, this husband and wife are wonderful.

I haven't heard of a man who stumbled with someone outside because his wife stumbled outside, so he made up for it from other people's men in the court, and for a while, the two uneasy and strange temperaments of this husband and wife were also passed out.

After that, Xiao Jiu went out to socialize again, and generally no one asked about the prince's marriage, which also made Xiao Jiu a lot easier.

At the end of March, the fourth prince, who had been seriously ill for a month, finally got better, and Emperor Qian never said anything, and the people who patrolled the camp never evacuated, let alone changed to the forbidden army.

And the prince's marriage, which has been boiling for a month, has finally been decided, and it was personally given by Emperor Qian, Zhong Ling, the eldest granddaughter of the famous Confucian Zhong Linxi.

As for the side concubines and concubines, it only depends on the prince's liking, and Emperor Qiandi does not interfere.

When the holy decree arrived at the prince's mansion, Xiao Jiu heard the news, and he was quite surprised by the selection of the crown princess.

Xiao Jiu asked Yanxi curiously, "How could the saint choose this granddaughter of Mr. Zhong?"

"Mr. Zhong's ancestors have had three emperors, although the descendants have never been outstanding, but the Zhong family has many protégés, and all students in the world admire Mr. Zhong, and what is even more rare is that the Zhong family has always been obsessed with learning and never participated in the affairs of the court, so although he is a famous Confucian, he has always been valued by the royal family and has never had any doubts. ”

Yan Xi smiled and said, "When I was a child, I went to the Zhong family with my father, and the Zhong family's library alone is a sight to behold, which is quite spectacular. ”

Those who can be called great Confucians must be people with very good knowledge, Xiao Jiu feels that such a girl from a family, even if the third prince doesn't like it, he shouldn't hate it.

As if knowing what Xiao Jiu was thinking, Yan Xi couldn't help but give her a thorough explanation: "The person was mentioned by the prince himself to the sage, if the sage wants to make a decree to give marriage, how can he wait until now?"

This is also the result of the prince being away all the year round, and the father and son get along too little, and Emperor Qiandi has the heart to make up for one or two, otherwise, where will the prince agree or not?

"Ah...... Has the prince already taken a fancy to the girl of the Zhong family, and has been holding up for it recently?" Xiao Jiu looked at Yan Xi with sparkling eyes, and the gossip was not too obvious.

Yan Xi was helpless and said, "How do I know this, I don't stare at him every day!"

Xiao Jiu snorted lightly, "Looking at you like this, you know that things here are not so simple. ”

I don't ask, as for what it is, Xiao Jiu feels that his brain is more exciting, otherwise he may be disappointed if he asks.

"After the prince got married, he was going to live in the East Palace, and there were people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites who were busy, and he was very idle recently, but he had a favor for you to help. Yan Xi said with a smile: "When you go out in the future, invite the girl of the Zhong family to help her get acquainted with it." ”

"It's fine, it's just that I don't go out much. Xiao Jiu thought of the few posts he had received recently, thought about it, and said: "I went back to my mother and aunt and they all said, counting, only my aunt knows many people, and it must be no problem to entrust it to my aunt." ”

The powerful people in the capital, Xiao Jiu himself didn't know it completely, where could he bring Zhong Ling?

"The palace will give you an upbringing, but you also know that the people in the palace may not be credible, and it is better for people who know each other to do this kind of thing. "In the final analysis, the crown prince is also not worried about the four princes.

"Since the prince has spoken, I will definitely do it. "It's rare for the prince to ask for someone, and Xiao Jiu is not a second, how can he refuse?

Yan Xi was relieved of Xiao Jiu, so he didn't ask anything more.

Xiao Jiu thought that he would have a relationship with this girl from the Zhong family in the future, so he sent a post to Zhong Ling in advance and asked her to go to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense.

The Zhong family should also have received news from the prince, and soon responded.

The weather was already warm, and on the day of going to Shangxiang, Xiao Jiu simply took An Ge'er and the old lady out together.

"The one who is incense with you today is the prince's daughter-in-law?" The old lady only got the news when she was about to go out, and she was a little surprised for a while.

"It's the prince's daughter-in-law, younger than me, sixteen years old this year, and their family is all academics. Xiao Jiu hugged the excited Brother An and talked to the old lady.

"That's amazing. "The old lady still admires the readers, there are still few people in the world who can read and become officials, and some people may not be able to get into the show after studying all their lives.

"Yes, the Zhong family used to be a gentleman for the emperor, although no one was an official, and the family was all a gentleman, but there were many students who taught him, and he was very respected, so the emperor pointed out such a marriage to the prince. Xiao Jiu picked and said some things, all to relieve the old lady's boredom.

The old lady liked Zhong Ling before they met, and sighed: "The family is all scholars, and they can also be the Pope, it can be seen that they are good at learning, and they are not stupid to read, they are really powerful people, and the girls who teach them must be good." ”

Although sometimes good bamboo shoots come out, but after all, they are a minority.

Speaking of reading and reading stupid, the old lady was interested, and told Xiao Jiu a few fools who only read books and never cared about household chores.

"You say, countrymen, if you can produce a scholar, that is the ancestor has accumulated virtue, and it is a good thing to be able to get ahead, but no one can guarantee it, and if you read a book, you will definitely be able to become an official, right?

The old lady saw it clearly, and sneered: "Some people are just a mud-legged life, and after two days of studying, their eyes have grown to the top of their heads......"

The old lady was very resentful, Xiao Jiu asked curiously: "Grandma, no one in our village reads and reads stupidly?"

"It's not from Peach Blossom Village. The old lady glanced at Xiao Jiu, squinted, and recalled with a distant look: "It's when I haven't met your grandfather yet." ”

"Oops!" Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up, and when he saw the old lady's expression, he knew that there was a story.

"In our village, there will be a student Lu Xiucai, who looks good, but his body is not very solid, like a girl, he can't even carry a bag of rice, I have always looked down on him. ”

"Somehow, his mother fell in love with me, and asked the matchmaker to come to my house to say goodbye, and your grandmother agreed to me without asking, and made me angry, and returned the family affair alive and dead, and later married your grandfather This mud leg, but it didn't make the people in my mother's village laugh at it......"
