Eldest brother...... Second brother...... Master...... Second Brother...... Brother-in-law...... Master...... Prince Le and Concubine followed the sound and took a look, only to see the eldest brother Yunxiang Hou Song Shili walking in, followed by the second brother Song Shiyi, Song Shiyi was slightly thinner and shorter than his eldest brother, he walked out from behind the eldest brother, and everyone saw him and hurriedly greeted him.

Wanwan, if you don't come today, the eldest brother also plans to go to the palace to discuss Huan'er's family affairs with you. Yunxiang Hou said with a straight face, without a trace of a smile on his face. It's not that Yun Xianghou has any dissatisfaction with his concubine's sister, but that he has kept a straight face since he was a child, and he hasn't laughed for decades.

Big brother, do you agree with this family business? Prince and Princess Le asked hesitantly. There is a fifteen-year difference between her and Yun Xianghou, and she has always had an inexplicable sense of awe in her heart since she grew up watching her eldest brother's expressionless face.

Well, Huan'er has a lot of vision, and he chose an excellent candidate. Yunxiang Hou said in a deep voice.

Top dog! Old Madam Yunxiang Hou frowned and shouted.

Mother, the lord of Pingrong County is the major general of the Dingbei Army, Huangfu Jingde has been in charge of the Dingbei Army for ten years, and he has collected the hearts of the soldiers of the Dingbei Army, he only has the daughter of the Pingrong County Lord, Huan'er married the Pingrong County Lord, and he can join the Dingbei Army by Shun lì, like such an excellent thing, I can't ask for it, how can I push it out? What's more, the lord of Pingrong married into the palace as a daughter-in-law, and Wanwan should take the responsibility of teaching, and carefully teach her the rules from the beginning, so as not to make her lose her dignity. Yunxiang Hou said in a deep voice.

The old lady of Yunxiang Hou has adhered to the three obedience and four virtues all her life, after the death of the old marquis, she listened to her son for everything, and now when she saw her son speak, although she was full of disapproval, she said obediently: Since the boss said so, then do it. Jintang, you go and be a big matchmaker for Huan'er.

Mrs. Yunxianghou was unhappy in her heart, but she never dared to disobey the orders of her mother-in-law and husband, so she had to suppress the grievances in her heart and respond with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes: Yes, the daughter-in-law received the order.

The second lady glanced at her husband, and was secretly anxious in her heart, but so could people occupy the position of the princess. It's just that the second master Song Shiyi has seen his brother since he was a child, like a mouse seeing a cat, he can't wait to find a mouse hole to hide in, even if he knows his wife's thoughts, he doesn't have the courage to say it.

Wanwan, the eldest brother picked a good auspicious day and went to Shilipo to propose marriage to Huan'er in person. Marshal Huangfu has no daughters, so your sister-in-law doesn't have to go. Yun Xianghou didn't discuss with anyone at all, and directly informed everyone of his decision. The old lady of Yunxiang Hou opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything when she arrived, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou was aggrieved and angry, and she didn't dare to resist her husband, so she only bowed her head and said nothing, protesting in a silent way.

Of course, Prince and Concubine Le knew that the affairs of her mother's family were all decided by the eldest brother alone, so she nodded and said: Okay, the eldest brother will come to the palace on a good day and bring the dowry to propose marriage. Because this family affair is a marriage given by the emperor, there is no matter of first handing over the matter of discussion, and the dowry can be carried over directly.

Yunxianghou frowned and said: Wanwan, how can you directly bring the dowry over, even if the emperor gives the marriage, the procedures that should be in place cannot be reduced, you go back to the house and let the housekeeper prepare thirty kinds of gifts according to the law of the "General Dictionary", and when it comes to the auspicious day, the eldest brother will go to Shilipo to perform the gifts.

Oh, got it. Back at her parents' house, Prince Le and Princess seemed to have become the little girl who listened to her mother's eldest brother in everything. She should do whatever the eldest brother says.

Seeing that his sister nodded in response, Yunxianghou frowned again and said: Huan'er is the prince of Yifu, this matter should be handled by the inner government, why do you want to ask in person?

Prince Le and Princess Le hurriedly said: The eldest brother is Huan'er's uncle, of course, please be a matchmaker, so that we pay special attention to it.

Yun Xianghou nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, for the eldest brother of the concubine sister who values him very much, Yun Xianghou is actually quite proud in his heart.

The three mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the old lady of Yunxiang Hou saw that this matter had become a sure thing, and they couldn't say anything anymore, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou and the second lady were very unhappy in their hearts, and they heard that their nephew had a good doctor, and their bodies and bones gradually improved, and the minds of these two people were lively.

Mrs. Yunxiang Hou has two daughters, one is fifteen years old and one is twelve years old, and she has never been married, and the second lady has three daughters, who are fifteen years old, fourteen years old, and thirteen years old, and they are not married.

In the past, when Prince Le's concubine was still in the boudoir, Yunxiang Houfu was just a third-rate marquis mansion that was about to decline, and it was Prince Le's princess who was selected as the princess, and Yunxiang's Houfu gradually developed again. After the Marquis of Yunxiang attacked the lord, he also entered the court as a real official, and he was no longer an empty marquis. The people of Yunxiang Houfu know such benefits, but how can they not think about it.

The reason why this matter was not raised before, firstly, there was no female family rushing to the man's house to ask for marriage, and secondly, Qi Jinhuan's health was too poor, even if he was afraid of getting married, he would not be able to keep a man and half a woman, and he would not be able to keep the prince's lord without an heir, so the people of the Yunxiang Marquis Mansion only had a heart, but they never mentioned it to Prince Le and the princess. Now that I heard that Qi Jinghuan's health has improved greatly, and the divine doctor has guaranteed that he will become a healthy normal person within three or five years, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou and the second lady have moved their minds, but they have not mentioned it to their sister-in-law, and they heard the news that Qi Jinghuan is asking for marriage on the Golden Palace, and these two people dare not show anything strange on their faces, but they are already angry in their hearts.

Wanwan, you finally came back, don't be in a hurry to go, talk to your mother more. The old lady of Yunxiang Hou grabbed her daughter's hand and refused to let go.

Okay, mother. Big brother, you must choose the nearest auspicious day to propose. Huan'er is not small, so she has to prepare for this quickly. The royal family marries, the procedure to go is particularly complicated, it will take more than a year to say the least, Qi Jinghuan is seventeen years old this year, Huangfu Yongning is sixteen years old, and when the qiē procedure is completed, these two people are ten ** years old, in Da Chen, they are already considered older unmarried men and women, and people who are the same age as them are already fathers and mothers.

Niangniang is so anxious, Huan'er's body and bones haven't been recuperated yet. The second lady frowned and said.

It will take almost two years from courtship to marriage, and by then Huan'er's body will be completely healed. Prince Le didn't hear the jealousy of her second sister-in-law, and replied to her with a smile.

It seems that Niangniang is very fond of the lord of Pingrong. I heard that the county lord of Pingrong has been wearing a mask, and I don't know what she looks like, Huan'er was born so well, and I don't know that the county lord of Pingrong is not a good match for Huan'er. The second lady continued.

Prince Le and Concubine Le smiled and said: Marshal Huangfu is a talent, and Mrs. Huangfu is also very good-looking, and their children can't be ugly. Prince Le and Concubine Le kept in mind what Huangfu Jingde said that day, and she knew what Huangfu Yongning looked like, and she would never mention it to outsiders. Even if it's my mother's family, it's the same. Since the moment Prince Le and Concubine Le saw Huangfu Yongning's true appearance, she understood why Huangfu Yongning wore a mask, and she had to wear it until she got married.

Since Niangniang said so, it is not bad to think about it, but in the end, you still have to look at each other to be sure. Seeing that the sister-in-law completely took the words of the second lady to heart, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou had to say so.

Yun Xianghou, who was sitting on the side, immediately frowned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice in displeasure: The woman in the inner house is short-sighted, Wanwan, you don't listen to your sister-in-law.

Mrs. Yunxianghou was choked by her husband, and the second lady was also angry, but she dared not speak out in anger, she could only lower her head to hide her anger.

Prince Le and Concubine Le are used to the eldest brother's one-word style, and she really didn't take what the two sisters-in-law said to heart. Just smiled faintly. The old lady of Yunxiang Hou was unhappy, and said in a deep voice: Jintang damn, go back and post to the lord of Pingrong County, and invite her to our Hou Mansion to sit as a guest. Huan'er's future daughter-in-law, we have to help him check it, don't want it if it's not good!

Yunxiang Hou frowned, wanting to say something but didn't speak. He had already refuted his mother just now, and if he didn't give his mother face one after another, it would really be against filial piety. Mrs. Yunxiang Hou was very happy when she heard her mother-in-law's words, and immediately responded with a smile: Yes, mother, we might as well have a lotus party and invite a few more famous ladies, so that it will not be abrupt.

The old lady of Yunxiang nodded and said: That's fine, you can do it.

Yun Xianghou couldn't do anything to his mother, but he could control his daughter-in-law, only to see Yun Xianghou glaring at his wife, his eyes were full of warnings. Mrs. Yunxianghou's heart trembled, and the smile on her face stiffened a little.

Mother, don't worry, wait for your son to go to the ceremony first. Yunxiang Hou said patiently.

The old lady of Yunxiang Hou snorted, but she didn't say anything more, it was a tacit acquiescence.

Mrs. Yunxiang Hou and the second lady were secretly anxious, if they did the gift, it would be even more difficult for them to break this family business.

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a while, Prince Le and Concubine Le were not stupid, of course she heard her mother's dislike of Huangfu Yongning, and suddenly she was unhappy, her mother's family disliked Huangfu Yongning so much, it was clearly an allusion to her son Qi Jinghuan had no vision, as a mother, how could she tolerate others looking down on her son like this.

Big brother, you can choose an auspicious day to perform the gift of Nacai, mother, there is still something in the palace, I will go back first, and come to greet you after a while. After being a concubine for a long time, Prince Le's temperament is not as supple as before she got married, she stood up and said a word, and she was about to go out.

The old lady of Yunxiang Hou and her two daughters-in-law were a little panicked, just now they saw that Prince Le's concubine spoke softly and gently, and they had less scruples when they spoke, but now they saw that Prince Le's face sank, and they realized that it was not the same time.

Yun Xianghou was still expressionless as always, he nodded and said: Okay, I will pick a recent day, you go back to the house first, the day is chosen, I will send someone over to sue you.

Prince Le and Princess nodded and said to her mother and two sisters-in-law who stood up: Mother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, second brother, I'm leaving. The second old man Song Shiyi, who had been silent, responded: Okay, sister let's go. The second lady was angry in her heart, and secretly scolded: Idiot, it's useless!

The old lady of Yunxiang Hou was reluctant to have a daughter, but now was not the time to keep her daughter, they still had a lot of things to discuss, so she nodded with red eyes and said: Okay, Wanwan, come back to see your mother when you have time.

The group was like the stars and the moon, sending Prince Le and Princess Le to the sedan chair, and watched her go away before turning back.

The old lady of Yunxiang Hou said with a calm face: Shili, don't go, come over first. Then everyone returned to the old lady's upper room.

Poetry, you only say that this family affair is good, so tell me in detail where it is good? The old lady of Yunxiang Hou said unhappily.

Mother, brother-in-law died early, the palace only has Huan'er's bloodline, and he has no brothers to help, now the palace is the holy family, but the most unpredictable is the emperor's heart, if one day the saint is lost, what kind of backer do my sister and Huan'er have? If it is married to Marshal Huangfu, the entire Dingbei Army is Huan'er's backer, among the five armies, the Dingbei Army has the largest number and the strongest strength, if Huan'er has the Dingbei Army behind him, it will completely lay a solid foundation, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne in the future, you have to pay special attention to Prince Le's mansion, so that the palace can be invincible. Yunxiang Hou said in a deep voice.

The second lady couldn't hold her breath, and couldn't help but rush to say: Uncle is really thoughtful, it's just that the county lord of Pingrong is in charge of the house, and there will be nothing to do with our Yunxiang Hou Mansion in the future. What's in it for us?

A trace of impatience flashed in Yunxianghou's eyes, and he frowned and said in a deep voice: Stupid, Yunxianghou's mansion is Huan'er's foreign family, and the broken bones are still connected to the tendons, he is fine, how can we be bad?

When the second old man Song Shiyi saw that his eldest brother was angry, he hurriedly scolded his wife angrily and said: What kind of tongue are you chewing, why don't you get out of the way.

Second Mrs. Song snorted in a low voice, and sure enough, she obediently flashed aside, but her voice was too small and others didn't hear what she said.

The old lady of Yunxiang Hou was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: What the boss said also makes sense, okay, you all retreat, I am tired. Yunxianghou and the other four bowed down and retired, and after leaving the house, the second master Song Shiyi said cautiously: Big brother, your brother and sister have no intentions, don't be angry.

Yunxianghou said lightly: It's good if you really have a weak mouth, second brother, everyone has selfishness, but if selfishness is too heavy, it is definitely not a good thing. With that, he strode away, and Mrs. Yunxiang Hou hurriedly trotted to follow. Second Mrs. Song snorted angrily and was pulled away by Second Master Song.

Master, you feel sorry for your sister's nephew, and the concubine understands, but you can't ignore our Hou Mansion and our Jinxia Jinni. Jinxia Jinni is the two biological daughters of Mrs. Yunxiang Hou.

Jinxia's relatives quickly looked, Jinni was still young, and waited. Take a long-term view, don't fight for the short-term. Yunxiang Hou said meaningfully, and strode away.

Mrs. Yunxiang Hou was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly returned to the room. She fully understood what her husband meant, the eldest daughter is fifteen years old, she can't afford to wait, and she can quickly settle the family affairs, as for the younger daughter, she is only twelve years old, and she can wait for three or five years, but the position of the concubine has been occupied by the lord of Pingrong County, do you want her daughter who has been pampered in the palm of her hand to be a concubine, even if she is a side concubine, she is still a concubine, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou is really reluctant, but if she is a step-princess, she can barely say it.

Mrs. Yunxianghou thought about her heart and returned to her yard, her two daughters held hands and I greeted her, looking at the delicate nephrite-like pair of daughters, Mrs. Yunxianghou was really happy from the bottom of her heart, took the daughters' hands and smiled: Why didn't you go to class and ran to your mother's place.

Fifth Miss Song Jinni said with a smile: Mother, didn't you say that Aunt Taifei came, Mr. gave us a leave so that our sisters could go to see our aunt, but no one came to pass on to us after we all got here, why did you come back, don't you have to accompany your aunt? Although the third lady Song Jinxia did not speak, she also had such a question in her eyes. The sons and daughters of the two rooms of the Song family are not sorted separately, so although Song Jinxia is the eldest granddaughter of the long house, she has to be ranked below the two concubines in the second room, and she is called the third lady, and the second daughter of the big house is reduced to the fifth miss.

Your aunt has already returned home. Mrs. Yunxiang Hou said with a little resentment. She has a grudge against her sister-in-law for not wanting to choose a daughter-in-law from her mother's family first.

Ah, why did my aunt go home, the girl gave us something, and we thought that we would wait for my aunt to summon us, so that we could thank us in person, and then offer our gifts. Miss Song Wu pouted and said unhappily.

Miss Song San said with a dignified smile: "Sister, my aunt is in charge of such a big palace, she must not be idle, let's just save the things, and wait for my aunt's birthday in October, and then send them over."

Mrs. Yunxiang Hou looked at the dignified and beautiful eldest daughter, and felt sad for a while, in her view, her eldest daughter was born to be the material of the princess, what is the Pingrong county lord, I heard that she was mixed with a group of men in the military camp all day long, how can she be worthy of being the princess of Le! But such a good daughter, but not such a good life, her husband has already spoken, she can't delay any longer, she has to do her best to find a good in-law for her daughter.

Looking at the little daughter with a delicate and bright face, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou secretly said in her heart: I can't say that the creation is really this child, she is better than her sister, and her fate is good, when she is pregnant with her, she always has auspicious dreams, I can't say that she is a person with a background, and she must be taught according to the standards of raising the princess in the future.

Seeing that her mother's eyes were focused on her sister, Song Jinxia was secretly shocked, could it be that her aunt came today for her sister? Not for yourself. The daughter of the deep boudoir does not know what is going on outside, even though the matter of Qi Jinghuan's courtship in the Golden Palace has spread all over the capital, those daughters who are pampered in the deep boudoir still don't know.
