Chapter 335: The Draft
Chunjing was directly stunned, is this young lady so direct when she speaks? "This, little panic."
"Why, you don't think the silver bottle is worthy of you."
"No, no, no, please see the young lady clearly, the small, the small one doesn't recognize the silver bottle girl." Speaking in a panic, the voice became smaller and quieter.
Yan Xiaoyue laughed directly when she heard this, "It's that I'm reckless, so it's better for me to let the silver bottle come over and you can see it." ”
Chunjing was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and said repeatedly: "No, don't dare, the eldest young lady, you can discuss this matter with the eldest young master, and the little ones have no opinions." ”
"How can it be done, it's not that no one wants my silver bottle, do you think I'm going to force it on you."
Chunjing knelt down directly, "Young lady, you pointed out the silver bottle girl to the small one, it is a small blessing, and the small one is naturally willing, but there is no need to see people here, and it is up to the young lady and the young master to decide." ”
Yan Xiaoyue was puzzled and let Chunjing retreat, and discussed with Bi'er: "What do you mean by Chunjing?" Is he willing or unwilling? ”
Bi'er pursed her lips and smiled, "The master is really confused." Brother Chunjing is a powerful person next to the eldest young master, although he hasn't entered the backyard much, but he doesn't recognize the first person next to you. ”
"What's there to worry about?"
"Peeping into the backyard is a felony, and Chunjing, as the steward of the outer courtyard, is even more cautious."
Yan Xiaoyue nodded understandingly, "Then he means willing." ”
"Of course, he has nothing to choose from such a good person as Sister Yinhua, I'm afraid that he will be happy in his heart."
"That's good, it's not in vain that the silver bottle follows me. You go and talk to Ming's mother, and let her start to help with the preparations, but don't tell the outside world yet, and it's not too late to wait for Chunjing to invite a matchmaker. ”
Bi'er nodded yes and went out happily.
After finalizing the matter of the silver bottle, Yan Xiaoyue thought of Quan Xiuxiu again. It's also the age to be released, but her mother is still there, so let's ask Yun Niang what her plans are first.
This year, Yun Niang should come to the imperial city to pay the account, and it is not too late to discuss it when the time comes.
Yan Xiaoyue, who was idle, waited for a few more days. The matchmakers invited by Chunjing came to the door, but Jiang Siyan stayed in the study and did not come back to Jinyuan.
In response to the matchmaker's matter, it was handed over to Ming's mother to deal with, and her mood has been depressed and she hasn't even left the door.
Yan Xiaoyue didn't go out. Jinyuan ushered in Yang Xiao'er.
Yan Xiaoyue looked at Xiaoxiao wearing a rose-red brocade collared skirt, a moonlight silver-patterned cicada yarn shawl, combed with a fallen horse bun, and the turquoise eight-treasure jade peony hairpin was clear and pure.
"Where did this come from, to look so good."
"My sister is used to making fun of people." After speaking, he sat down opposite Yan Xiaoyue.
"I just came from the eldest princess's mansion, and they held a spring banquet in their mansion, and they have sixty tables."
Yan Xiaoyue's eyes flashed, "The eldest princess's mansion? When did our house get so close to them? ”
The spring banquet is generally to invite neighbors or very good people, and although the Jiang family is a few figures in the imperial city, sometimes the circle of communication does not mean that the circle is big if you stay for a long time.
Like the social circles in the imperial city, there are really two main categories. One is that the princes and royal families themselves form a circle, they have meritorious deeds to attack, and they rely on the emperor's protection, and the other is a large circle composed of officials from all over the court, either the noble and the like or the poor, who climb up step by step by relying on the imperial examination.
And although the Jiang family has gone through two dynasties and has taken root in the imperial city for a long time, they have never done anything that came out, and they have always appeared in the eyes of everyone with a low-key and stable image. Even if the old man is friendly with the eldest princess, he rarely goes to the door. Why did you go to the eldest princess's mansion to attend the spring banquet today?
Yang Xiao'er's eyes fluttered, but she didn't make a sound.
Yan Xiaoyue smiled, "Then you came to me directly from the Eldest Princess's Mansion, didn't you go back to Qingzhu Courtyard to see Brother You'er?" ”
Yang Xiao'er exhaled lightly. "I've come to you directly, I want to discuss something with my sister."
Yan Xiaoyue picked up the tea to moisten her throat, "That's it, do you and I still need to be so polite?" ”
Yang Xiao'er's face eased, "Isn't it that the day of His Majesty's draft is getting closer and closer, I heard that nearly half of the officials in the imperial city have sent their daughters to the palace." I don't know how many people there will be? ”
"What's so strange about this, Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, there are few heirs, and the throne is even more undecided, so it's strange that those courtiers are not moved. Fortunately, it is only a draft in the house of the five officials in the imperial city, if the scope is larger, it will be lively, but I am afraid that the primary election will take several days, and when the final selection is made, there will be no one in ten. ”
"I wonder how many will be left this year?" Yang Xiaoer said casually.
Yan Xiaoyue opened her mouth and said, "Who knows about this?" Isn't it eye-catching? However, with the eyes of the Queen Mother, there should be no less. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Yang Xiao'er unintentionally, her eyes were slightly dark.
"I don't know if the third sister will be left with a sign?"
Yan Xiaoyue sighed, "Xiaoxiao, what exactly do you want to ask me?" ”
Yang Xiao'er was at a loss, and wiped her sideburns and broken hair vigorously.
Yan Xiaoyue smiled, "You, you want to touch your hair when you get up in a hurry, but now that you are married, your hair will be changed to broken hair that scratches your temples, really, are there anything you and I can't say directly?" ”
Yang Xiao'er put down her hand embarrassedly, took a long breath, and pouted: "Sister, I didn't want to trouble you, but when I went to the eldest princess's mansion today, all the ladies were inquiring about my tone, saying that I had known His Majesty since I was a child, and I didn't know His Majesty's hobbies and so on." ”
Yan Xiaoyue snorted lightly when she heard this, "They really don't know what to say, don't say that you are not familiar with Your Majesty, even if you are familiar, how can you talk about Your Majesty's private affairs at will, I am afraid that they also have any good intentions, it seems that the eldest princess invites you to go, but I am afraid that it is also bad." ”
Yang Xiao'er nodded, "I thought about it carefully when I came back, but I'm afraid they just really want to see our jokes." I heard that the eldest princess began to take the sixth lady into the palace to greet the queen mother a few years ago, what kind of calculation did she make, isn't it transparent? ”
"It's good that you know, just deal with such things in the future, and don't have to be serious with them."
"I know, it's just the first time I'm going alone, and I'm inevitably a little nervous."
Yan Xiaoyue said with relief: "What's there to be nervous about, just go and give a salute to the elders, just sit with the sisters you knew before." ”
"That's what I thought, too, but I can't get out of it when I'm entangled. Those Duchess and Mrs. Hou are not good at stubble, they ask directly, and they turn around to inquire, which really makes me take care of myself, and the wolf is very good, they don't know how to laugh at me in the back, alas, I'm afraid of losing face in the house.
