Chapter 191: Lin Sui's Family Affairs
The emperor entrusted Princess Rui, who wanted to jump up in her arms, and then said: "Today, the eldest princess Tang and the eldest princess came to tell me that she should have a family affair between Shichiro and Liu'er. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lin Yan was happy and said, "Okay, it's a great event." On that day, I promised Concubine Shu such a big seaport, but Tang and the eldest princess never responded, and I almost couldn't explain to Concubine Shu. I'll have someone tell Concubine Shu about it tomorrow. ”
The emperor said: "The imperial aunt doesn't mean to disagree with this family affair, it's just that Qilang is her beloved grandson, that is, Liu'er is a princess, and the imperial aunt also wants to take a look at her temperament before deciding." ”
Lin Yan pursed her lips and smiled, so Tang and the eldest princess have not responded for so long, in fact, they are investigating the eldest princess? Now that she agreed, it means that the eldest princess is past her eyes.
The emperor thought that he was already busy with the marriage of his children now, and suddenly sighed with some emotion: "In a few years, Tai'er and Jing'er will become concubines and have children, and I will also be my grandfather's person." Think about how fast time flies. ”
Lin Yan looked at the emperor's still young face, and then looked at Princess Rui, who was still breastfeeding, in his hand, so he had to smile and not speak.
It's only strange that people at this time got married early, and there were many cases where uncles were younger than nephews.
The emperor remembered something again, and asked Lin Yan: "Has your fifth sister's family matter been decided?" ”
The emperor still remembers that because the prince and the prince almost turned against each other, the prince's fuss about marrying the maid is always a stalk in his heart, and he plans to let the prince and the Cui family marry next year, and he doesn't want any accidents in this matter, so he naturally hopes that the sooner the maid's family affairs are decided, the better.
Lin Yan said: "The second aunt has a candidate in her heart, and the two families have also passed the mouth, but the second aunt is still a little hesitant in her heart, so she has not passed the three books and six ceremonies for the time being." ”
Originally, the Lin family had long wanted to settle the family affairs of the maid, but they first encountered the murder of the maid, and the cousin died, and the sister of the maid was not good at talking about marriage with great fanfare, so it was delayed until now.
The emperor let out an "oh" and asked, "Who is your second aunt fanciing?" ”
Lin Yan said: "Last year's new science and technology exploration Hualang, Xu Xiao. ”
The emperor suddenly said: "It's him, he looks good, and he can also know talent." ”
Xu Xiao's Tanhua was hand-picked by the emperor, so the emperor was quite impressed by him. In addition to his outstanding talent, but also because he is also very personable among the scholars. So he performed on par with another scholar in the palace examination, but the emperor finally appointed him as Tanhualang, and because he was handsome, he always made people look more pleasing to the eye.
The emperor continued to say to Lin Yan: "Xu Xiao's great-grandfather Xu Liang was the first emperor's concubine, and his grandfather Xu Ming also worshipped the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but his father Xu An's talent was not obvious, that is, for the sake of Xu Taifu and Xu Shangshu's face, I only let him sit in the position of the temple of Dali Temple. ”
Lin Yan smiled, Dali Temple only has five products, whether it is compared with his grandfather Taifu, one of the "Three Princes", or compared with his father's Shangshu, it is completely incomparable, and this is still the emperor's face on the two predecessors, which shows how mediocre this Xu An's talent is.
And Xu An's conduct is indeed a little eye-catching for the Lin family, Xu An is not very good as an official, but he has a very good set of red sleeves and incense, and there are a bunch of aunts in the room, and the aunts are fighting to the death like cross-eyed, but Mrs. Xu's temperament is too cowardly to suppress the aunt at all, so the Xu family is now like a mess.
The emperor said: "But Xu Xiao has some legacy of his great-grandfather and grandfather. ”
can get such an evaluation from the emperor, it can be seen that he is also optimistic about Xu Xiao's future.
And this is also the reason why the Qi family hesitated, and he still hasn't made up his mind to settle this family business.
The Qi family is very optimistic about Xu Xiao, but they don't look down on the current style of the Xu family. In addition, Xu Xiao is the eldest son and grandson, and being his wife must preside over the middle feed, and Mrs. Xu can't suppress the concubine room, marrying in to help Mrs. Xu break the lawsuit for the concubine can make her take off a layer of skin.
What's more, those are all fathers and concubines, but they are not so easy to manage, and if you control them tightly, people say that you meddle in the public house, and if you loosen the control, it will still be chaotic like now.
The maid is the only daughter of the Qi family, and she is afraid that she will not want to let the maid live so hard. But if you miss Xu Xiao, Qi feels a pity.
The emperor asked again: "Your mother's family and the Xu family don't seem to have any relationship, so who is the matchmaker between the maid and Xu Xiao?" ”
Lin Yan smiled: "There is another story to tell." At first, when Xu Xiao went to the bookstore to buy books, he happened to meet the maid who was accompanied by the maid and also came to buy the book, and the book that Xu Xiao wanted to buy was out of stock, but the maid just bought the last one, and the maid gave the book to him, and then Xu Xiao had a little meaning to the maid. After hearing that the maid was a girl from the Lin family, she went back and invited her grandmother, Mrs. Xu, to explore the situation. ”
said and said: "It's just that the second aunt is still a little worried, the maid is only thirteen this year, and it is okay to marry first, but she must wait until she is sixteen to let her out of the cabinet, but Xu Xiao is twenty years old this year, and the second aunt is afraid that Xu Xiao will not be able to wait." Second, the grandmother and the second aunt also thought that the inner courtyard of the Xu family was a little chaotic. ”
Mrs. Xu very much hopes that this family business can be completed, and the condition that the maid will leave the cabinet when she is sixteen years old has also agreed, and also promised that Xu will never accept a concubine in the future, that is, Xu's father's courtyard is now chaotic, and she also promised to clean it up.
It's just that the Qi family takes into account that Mrs. Xu is old after all, even if she can suppress the inner courtyard now, she can still live for a few years, and Xu's father's temperament will not change, and it will be the eldest daughter-in-law who will suffer at that time.
Lin Yan smiled and said to the emperor: "Look slowly, where can family affairs be negotiated at once." Even if it can be done with the Xu family, there are still many things to grind for the two families. ”
The Emperor nodded, and said no more. It is impossible for him to force others to settle the family affairs immediately for the sake of the prince.
Lin Yan said again: "But the concubine is worried about another thing now, my grandmother's health is getting worse and worse, and it will be worse in winter, and she has been cold since winter, but she is old and does not dare to use medicine indiscriminately, so she can only suffer every day." ”
She said with a sad sigh: "My grandfather died early, and my grandmother only had one child, but now my mother is in the northwest with my father, and the concubines can't take care of my grandmother in the palace. ”
The emperor looked at her and said, "Do you want to go back to visit Old Madam Zhuang?" ”
Lin Yan said: "I'm afraid it doesn't conform to the rules of the palace." ”
The emperor took one of her hands and said, "After the winter solstice, I will take you back to the Wuguo Mansion." ”
Lin Yan's eyes lit up, and she looked at the emperor and asked, "Really?" ”
The emperor tapped her nose and scolded with a smile: "Playing tricks again, don't you just want me to say this." ”
Lin Yan didn't have any shame to be exposed, and kissed the emperor and said, "The emperor is so good." ”
The emperor smiled and pinched her face, then pinched Princess Rui, and said, "When the time comes, take Rui'er with you, Rui'er is so old, she hasn't been to her grandfather's house yet." (To be continued.) )
