Let's say that Xinliu ordered Fang Lingtong and others to return to the house, and Ling Fang waited in the living room to meet the guests.

It didn't take long for Ji Guang to lead a person in, this person's name is Zhao Fengnian, the name is very auspicious, and the person is also upright, he is a new friend that Ling Fang met in the Zongheng Pavilion, and he values Ling Fang a lot. I also said before that I would come to visit when I was free, but I thought it was a polite remark, and I didn't want to really come to the door today.

As soon as he entered the door, he called Brother Guo, and Ling Fang also called Brother Zhao, and when the hot tea was served, he arched his hand and said: "In the past two days, my brother has not been able to go to the museum to listen to the lecture hall of Lao Shangshu because of his busy family affairs, I don't know if Brother Guo has ever been there?" ”

"I go almost every day, and I listen to Lao Shangshu talk about the time when Jin Ge Iron Horse swallowed mountains and rivers, and the thieves were invincible at the big banner, and I only felt that my blood was boiling, as if I had experienced it myself."

Zhao Fengnian nodded again and again when he heard this: "Very much!" Lao Shangshu's words are all regarded as a guideline, and I only hope that one day in the future, I can also gallop to serve the court! ”

Ling Fang said with a smile: "Brother Zhao has great ambitions, Ling Fang admires him!" ”

"Where, in Zhao's eyes, Brother Guo is the dragon and phoenix among people, and he is very respected"

"I came today, but not to talk about Lao Shangshu, but to have a major event in the capital next month, Brother Guo has ever heard of it?"

"Oh? What's the big deal? Ling Fang asked.

"Next moon palace for the second royal highness to choose the concubine, and at the same time for the second princess to choose a horse, will be held in the suburbs of Beijing Yingtian enclosure Jockey Club, where the family has a positive three grades and above the official position of the young children and young ladies can sign up, the top three horses are rewarded, as for the horse and the concubine, it is up to the princess and princess to choose on the same day, you are not surprised?"

Ling Fang smiled slightly, and couldn't help but think of Ji Ying he saw that day, which was extremely cool and cute.

"I thought that Brother Guo could try it, but the gate of Miyagi is signing up now? You only need to fill in your name, age, household registration, etc., in case the Inspector of the Household Department checks the truth, and you can register for three consecutive days from now on."

"Brother Zhao isn't going?"

"Where can I go, the marriage has been decided for me at home, thinking of a person like Brother Guo, wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't try?"

"Brother Xie Zhao told me that I can only make a decision after I consult my parents......"

After sending Zhao Feng away, Ling Fang talked about it with his parents Ling Tong and Ling Zhou.

Others were okay, Ling Tong was the first to shout: "Brother must go, that Ji Ying is my sister-in-law!" Now as long as my brother wins the top three horse races, he can be an alternative, so Ji Ying must choose you! ”

Xinliu also smiled and said: "I also think Fang Er should go, Ji Ying came to the door that day, I liked it at first sight, and then I saw that the two of you are also very compatible, and I think your sister is right, that Ji Ying is also interested in you"

Ling Tong saw Ling Zhou standing quietly at a glance, and hurriedly said, "Second brother, go too!" ”

Lingzhou said: "I don't want to marry any princess, I also think she is very suitable for her eldest brother"

The third lord muttered: "The way the royal family chooses relatives this time is extremely strange, and it is actually allowed to choose the prince and princess by themselves, which has never been the case since the founding of the country, it seems that the two princes and the second princess are really deeply loved by the elders, so they do not hesitate to violate the ancestral system to fulfill them." ”

"Then, brother, do you need a good horse too?"

Ling Tong was excited, stepped forward and climbed his brother's hand and said, "Let Brother Ling Qi also find a good horse for you, if you can't get into the top three in that day's race, it will inevitably be some, that's ......" She wanted Ling Fang to marry Ji Ying, and was worried that he would not win the horse with poor performance, seeing that she was suffering from gains and losses, Ling Fang shook her hand and said: "You have some confidence in me, okay?" Although I don't dare to say that I can get the first place, the top three should still be sure! ”

Ling Tong suddenly smiled.

"If you're going to participate, let's prepare! It was also time to buy a good horse, and if you wanted as much money as you wanted, you just went to get it, and said that I agreed, and the hour was not too early, so I went back to the house first. After the third master finished speaking, he got up and left, and the three children all saluted his back.

……

The Queen Mother was supposed to live in Shoukang Palace, but she thought that Shoukang Palace was too big, and it was cold in winter, so she chose Yunyi Palace to live, Yunyi Palace is not far from the palace of Concubine Shu and Concubine Ke, the area is not large, the houses are small and compact, and the furnishings inside are generous and Sulang, and she has lived for more than ten years.

The bedroom of the main hall is next to the left and right wings, Ji Ying lives in the right wing, and the left wing is the queen mother's Aunt Liangsu with two personal palace maids to live.

Ji Ying came to the Queen Mother's house with a pot of jujube paste pies, put them on the coffee table, knelt down and kowtowed: "Queen Mother, you try this jujube paste pie, it was just made by her granddaughter, and there are some pine nuts and hawthorn mud in it, which tastes sweet and sour, and is not greasy at all." ”

The Queen Mother was looking at the long roster, and said with a smile on her face: "I can't empty my hand, put one in my mouth"

I saw her back against the thick goose feathers, her legs covered with a thin quilt of autumn fragrance, sitting comfortably on the kang, Ji Ying put a chess piece-sized cake in her mouth, she bit it lightly and let out a sigh of admiration, swallowed it and said: "Yo, it's still warm, it's good, delicious, another one!" ”

Ji Ying fed her another one.

"Hey, this cute person hurts, I really want to keep you for a few more years, and I'm afraid of delaying you!"

"Look, on this list, I only see the names of their grandfathers, and I still know a little bit or two, but look at me, where can I figure it out? …… If you can't take advantage of my understanding and give your big event, which **** will go, I'm really not at ease! When the time comes, according to the queen's temper, you will have to intervene, and the emperor is not happy, and your mother can't intervene at both ends, and in the end it will hurt you...... Now that I'm done, I'll fix someone for you next month, who I think can make a big storm? ”

"Queen Mother, in fact, there is already one person in her granddaughter's heart!" Ji Ying said.

"Huh? Whose family is it? I don't know if there's anything in this roster? The Queen Mother said.

"It's the eldest son in the third master's mansion of the old marquis of Guo Tantu, called Guo Lingfang." Ji Ying said: "The granddaughter is trying to ask the Queen Mother to see, is he on the roster?" It wouldn't be good if he didn't even report his name......"

The Queen Mother knew that she had always been bold, but now she saw a red glow flying on her face, her eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but smile: "I'll take a look, what's here, if he's not in it, I'll add it to him!" Since you said that let you choose your own heart, you must be satisfied...... Guo Tantu's grandson, here! Guo Lingfang, eighteen years old! Well, the age is just right, too! Rest assured! ”

Ji Ying couldn't help but laugh and said: "He also rides horses, and he loves horses very much, I hope that the sun will not set on people, otherwise it will be disgraceful for his granddaughter to choose him!" ”

"That's it! If he is a silver-like pewter spearhead, I don't agree with it! The Queen Mother put aside the roster in her hand, and took a small baked cake and put it in her mouth.

"This time it's also your blessing, just in time for Concubine Ke to choose a concubine for Si Zhen, the emperor spoils her, do it according to her idea, I think it's very good, let the child choose by himself, and love for a lifetime in the future, take 10,000 steps back and say, if it's not good, then you can't complain about the elders, how many things have been saved, Ji Ying, your eyes are bright, pick well, I will support you!"

Ji Yingfu knelt down and kowtowed again, and said crisply: "Empress Dowager Xie loves it!" ”
