Although Lin Xi and Xiao Jinlan's affairs Mrs. Tai only showed such a meaning to the Marquis of Yongning, and they also took advantage of the New Year's Festival to see each other, but in the hearts of the masters of the Marquis of Yongning, they were all open, for Lin Xi, Xiao Jinlan was the best candidate, and Mrs. Tai was the most satisfied at present.

It's just that so far, Mrs. Tai and Master Hou have not just let out their mouths, and everyone is just keeping it a secret. Naturally, as the cinnabar mole in the heart of the Marquis of Yongning, in addition to the name in front of the Liu family in the main room, Aunt Mei, who firmly held the heart of the Marquis of Yongning, had already heard the news.

Although I was secretly anxious in my heart, I was unwilling to do a thousand or ten thousand, but in front of Yongning Hou, I could only think that I didn't know, these days I was gentle and small, and I knew the elegance when I heard the strings, and I was comfortable serving Yongning Hou, for fear that one would decide the fate of his daughter when he thought about it.

On this night, Yongninghou, who had squinted his eyes and regained his energy, lay on the warm tent bed and said, "Lan'er and Xi'er's affairs, you should prepare early." ”

Mei Shi was pouring tea for Yongning Hou in a thin coat, even though he already knew it in his heart, he couldn't help but shake his hand when he heard the words, and the tea was scattered on the table. However, after all, Aunt Mei has gone through ups and downs, and she has already practiced unparalleled forbearance skills under Liu's hands, and only stabilized her mind a little, so she returned to the bed with a teacup casually, and while helping Yongning Hou to get up with water, she said calmly and softly: "Young Master Cousin still has more than two years of filial piety, and when he is not filial piety, Lan'er will be seventeen, won't he become an old girl?"

"It's only fifteen years old, the old lady's meaning is set first, and when Xi'er is filial, she will get married immediately, and in the future, the young couple will live in the Hou Mansion if they are willing to live, and if they don't want to live, they will choose a house nearby, haven't you always hoped that Lan'er would marry closer, and now that your wish has been calculated, Lin Xi has a good character, and she will not treat Lan'er badly. ”

Yongning Hou was reluctant at first, but as soon as Mrs. Tai talked about her eldest daughter Jinping, he softened, speaking of which, compared to his concubine Xiao Jinxin, he liked his concubine Jinlan more, Lin Xi had no father and no mother, and he would not rely on Yongning Hou's Mansion in the future, as long as he was there, he would always be unable to treat Xiao Jinlan.

A father's heart, but it's a pity to see Aunt Mei's beautiful nails deeply embedded in the palm of her hand to know that this biological mother is extremely unwilling.

A handful of anger ignited in her heart, burning her heart, and she couldn't wait to ask Yongning Hou loudly, if she really felt sorry for her daughter, why didn't she choose Xiao Jinxin! When it comes to appearance and color, her daughter is ten times better than her sister, and in terms of talent, it is ten times better than Xiao Jinxin, who can't even make a decent poem, and her daughter stands out in every way, isn't it because she was born by her aunt that she is inferior to her sister everywhere?

Xiao Jinxin can marry Prince Rui as a princess, why can her Jinlan only marry a medicine jar who has nothing but a sick body!

is also a younger sister, Xiao Jinping didn't say which one it was before she died.

She sneered in her heart, but Aunt Mei could only hide this angry love deeply, lowered her eyes, took the teacup, put the teacup on the table and then turned around and lay down in this short period of time, she had completely adjusted her expression, and even raised her smiling face, snuggled up to Yongning Hou, and said softly: "Hou Ye loves Lan'er's heart, and the concubine understands it, although she has not been in contact with Young Master Hou, but she can win Hou Ye's favor, she must be a young man, but she is just ......."

Aunt Mei's knowledgeable Dali obviously pleased Yongning Hou, and he hugged the woman in his arms tightly and asked, "Just what?"

Aunt Mei gently leaned on the shoulder of Yongning Hou, her soft arms hugged his waist, and the little bird looked like a person, "It's just that the eldest lady is the princess, and the third lady may have to marry into the palace in the future, Lan'er was unfortunately born in the belly of the concubine, and she can't compare to the two sisters, but after all, she is a serious lady of the Hou Mansion, for the sake of the face of the Hou Mansion, the husband who marries always can't ......" Aunt Mei glanced at Yongning Hou carefully, and saw that he was not displeased, so she continued, "I don't know what kind of fame the young master has in him?" Of course, the concubine understands that the young master is very good, and the Hou Ye is a hundred relieved to pick for Lan'er, but ...... Outsiders are always ignorant of what is going on, if it is gossip...... It always makes it difficult for Master Hou to do, and the young master is not comfortable, and the concubine can't bear it. ”

The concubine is a super princess, and the concubine is not even an eight-grade woman, I don't know if I think the Yongning Marquis Mansion treats the concubine poorly. At this moment, Yongning Hou, who loves face, is reluctant again.

Aunt Mei put her mind at ease for the time being, but what kind of temperament Yongning Hou has for so many years, she also knows very well that once Mrs. Tai is strongly persecuted, Yongning Hou will agree even if she is unwilling, so she can only think of another idea, Hengzhi Lin Xi still has more than two years of filial piety, and there is always a way for such a long time.

Fourteen years old, Lin Xi went to Chongjin Hall to ask Mrs. Tai for peace as usual, but was left behind by Mrs. Tai, only to see this old lady looking at him with a smile and love, seeing that Lin Xi was inexplicable, and held his hand and asked quietly, "What does Xi'er think of your second cousin?"

The eyes with obvious deep meaning suddenly made Lin Xi feel like he was being struck by lightning, cousin......

Close relative!

Lin Xi twitched the corners of his mouth almost invisibly, but unfortunately it was the best match in this era, Lin Xi thought of the beautiful cousin, although she was only fifteen years old, she was already graceful, but no matter how she was, she was still just a child.

Lin Xi couldn't cry or laugh, but he could only pretend to be shy on his face, and he couldn't speak.

It can be seen that it is not unenlightened, Mrs. Tai was amused, so she said: "If you think it is good, you will settle down first, and treat her well in the future, otherwise the old woman will be the first to clean you up." ”

Lin Xixin said where is this, how long has it been since I came, I already have a wife, and I am still a cousin.

"Grandmother, but my uncle agreed? Xi'er has no long things, and she is afraid that she will treat her cousin badly. Lin Xi knew that he couldn't make the decision about his marriage, and the same cousin could only be ordered by his parents, so he was afraid that the girl would not want to do it at all. Although it was only a few times in a hurry, Xiao Jinlan was not a poor girl at first glance, otherwise why would the girl in Pinlan Academy often ask about the Rui Wangfu in secret.

Sure enough, I saw Mrs. Tai's face sink and say, "Does he dare to agree?"

Lin Xi suddenly sighed silently in his heart, he knew very well that Mrs. Tai loved him, and now he even pressured Yongning Hou to marry his daughter to him for his marriage.

The concubine is also the young lady of the Marquis of Yongning, and if she can't marry a prince or nobleman, it is very possible to find a promising official son or a young man.

Lin Xi thought of those aunts and grandmothers who were not very satisfied with him, not to mention the Marquis of Yongning, although Aunt Mei had never been in contact with her, she occupied a courtyard in the Marquis of Yongning's Mansion and had children, so she was not an ordinary woman.

Although he doesn't admit it, he still has to be self-aware, and now he is nothing.

And Lin Xi didn't want to get involved in the grievances of the back house at all, so he sat beside Mrs. Tai, put his arm around Mrs. Tai, and said softly: "Uncle definitely doesn't want to, grandmother, I know that you love me, but Xi'er doesn't want you to embarrass your uncle, my cousin is very good, but Xi'er is not worthy of her." ”

Mrs. Tai looked down at Lin Xi, after raising in the Hou Mansion for a while, her grandson's emaciated and pale face was finally a little ruddy and fleshy, but now it was peaceful, and even with a shallow smile, not much frustration, as if she was just talking about a fact.

Mrs. Tai's heart suddenly softened, and she touched Lin Xi's head and sighed.

Lin Xi rubbed his face lightly, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandmother, Xi'er is still young, don't be in a hurry to get married, I told my eldest cousin, when filial piety is out, I want to gain fame, like my eldest cousin, I will be on the high list in the future, glorify my ancestors, and then ask my grandmother to choose a lady for Xi'er." ”

Mrs. Tai was surprised when she heard this, then she smiled, pointed to Lin Xi's head and said angrily: "How old you are when you get out of the exam, let's see whose young lady is willing to marry you." ”

Lin Xi touched his head, pretending to be aggrieved and said: "My grandmother has no confidence in Xi'er, I can't say that I took the Xiucai exam in the first year, and I was lucky to catch up with the township exam and won the second year of the township exam, and I will be awarded the Jinshi in three years?"

Mrs. Tai didn't know what to say to Lin Xi's whimsy, "You don't have such a fast life, what are you dreaming of." Since ancient times, it is to start a family first and then start a business, you don't have to worry about this, the wife has her own opinions, since you want to take the imperial examination, you should study hard. ”

Although Mrs. Tai said this, her tone had softened, and she probably didn't insist on letting him marry her cousin, so she was a little relieved.

It's just that Lin Xi's heart for fame is even stronger, as long as he stands higher and his waist straighter, the heavier his right to speak in the future, just like Zhao Jingyi, even if the emperor wants to ask him for a wife, it is estimated that he will be satisfied.

However, Zhao Jingyi, who added a little blockage to Lin Xi from time to time, was also a big two today, looking at the little eunuch who whispered in front of him, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

However, no matter how irritable he was in his heart, Zhao Jingyi's cold and handsome face was still expressionless, listening to the little eunuch's advice.

His Royal Highness King Liang said that the Northern Expedition was a great victory, and the capture of Prince Hunu, the prestige of the Great Xia country has been famous all over the world, and now it is the stability of the Quartet, and the prosperity of the country is imminent, His Royal Highness King Liang advises the emperor to celebrate in this first Lantern Festival, so as to go to the bad luck of defeat year after year. His Royal Highness the King of Shu also said that thanks to the emperor's strategy, he decisively ordered the prince to take command in order to defeat Hu Nu, and Hu Nu will not dare to attack in the future, the emperor's prestige has spread far and wide, and the Lantern Festival may wish to have fun with the people, and drive out of the palace on the observation deck, so that all the people can look up to the sky and bathe in grace. ”

The little eunuch felt that the surroundings seemed to be a little cold, paused, and didn't hear Zhao Jingyi speak, so he quickly continued: "The emperor was very happy to hear it, and immediately agreed to the performance of the two princes, the Lantern Festival should be fun with the people, and he also ordered that there is no need for the honor guard of the Son of Heaven on the day, only a private visit ...... Weifu"

Speaking of this, he felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and even the charcoal basin in the house seemed to have no temperature. And Zhao Jingyi didn't say anything for a long time, so he mustered up the courage to raise his head and glance quickly, but he was so frightened that he immediately tightened his neck, and Prince Rui's gaze was too terrifying like a wolf.

"Come on...... The father-in-law said that it was a big matter, so he sent a small one to inform the prince...... "He finished adding in a trembling voice, but he didn't dare to speak out anymore."

At this time, Gonggong Cao patted the little eunuch's shoulder, his round face narrowed his eyes, his expression was very gentle, and he said, "Okay, the prince already knows, this is nothing to do with you, go back and thank your father-in-law for the miscellaneous family." ”

The little eunuch immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, bowed his body and ran away quickly. Although this errand is not very flattering, but it is worth it, the little eunuch touched the purse in his sleeve, and happily returned to the palace to resume his life.

Those two fools, Zhao Jingyi frowned when he looked at the figure of the little eunuch leaving, and then ordered in a cold voice: "Let Zhang Yi come to the palace to see this king immediately." ”
