"If you go back to your mother, this is actually not a family rule." Mrs. Chen smiled, her words were very cautious, and explained to the Empress Dowager: "It's just that Wendeng has a teaching, saying that the inner curtain is chaotic, and the difference between the concubines and concubines is the root, and it is enough for a man to have a good wife, and teach the Chen man to cultivate himself." ”

"Wendeng Gong said that after the Chen clan passed away, naturally the entire Chen clan would be worshipped, and the succession of heirs was just a formality, not necessary, so this was not advocated." Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "Fortunately, the heavens favor you, since Wendeng has the Chen family, the continuation of the Chen family's bloodline has been smooth." ”

She didn't conclude that this was the house rule.

Because, no one can say what will happen in the future. Even for her two sons, Mrs. Chen could not guarantee that they would never take a concubine in the future. After all, sometimes, there are surprises. Moreover, the Chen family also has a Chen Guifei.

The Queen Mother was very satisfied with her caution, and nodded to Princess Ying without a trace, and Princess Ying smiled gently and did not speak.

The Queen Mother said: "You have two sons, and you are also blessed." God, it always blesses those who are content. "What is the reason why many rich and noble families do not have many children? It's not that people are greedy.

"That's what the Queen Mother said." Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "The courtier has two sons, and she has nothing to ask for in this life." So the courtiers really want to have a daughter to make a caring little padded jacket. ”

"That's not right." The Queen Mother answered: "The daughter will marry someone else's family after all." You have two sons, and you have two daughters-in-law. How do you want to hurt when the time comes, it's not up to you? ”

Mrs. Chen responded repeatedly.

“…… Why hasn't your eldest son been married yet? It's all crowned, right? The Queen Mother asked.

"This is all what their grandfather meant, and the courtiers are also helpless." When Mrs. Chen saw the Empress Dowager's demeanor when she asked about Chen Houyun, it didn't seem like she was a matchmaker for Chen Houyun, she was slightly settled in her heart, and her smile was slightly relaxed, and said: "However, my father showed a little bit of tone to the courtiers two days ago, saying that the courtiers' two sons will soon be able to have a place, so let the courtiers prepare early!" ”

"Chen Gong can really wait. I don't know what he's waiting for. The Queen Mother said to Chen Gong casually. But he said happily: "This is settled, and your heart is settled." ”

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Chen's expression also revealed joy.

"Although the mourning family is in the deep palace, I always hear that you have raised two good sons. The eldest son is outstanding in writing, not to mention. The youngest son has learned a good martial arts. Very upright...... Otherwise. Ming Jia played with him at that time, and the mourning family and Princess Ying couldn't rest assured......"

The Queen Mother turned the topic to Chen Houji, and Mrs. Chen finally understood. The Empress Dowager and Princess Ying took a fancy to her youngest son Chen Houji. She remembered Chen Gong's mention a few days ago, and knew that Chen Gong intended to marry these relatives, so she followed the Queen Mother's voice and said a lot of things about Chen Houji. Including how he wanted to practice martial arts when he was a child, how he persevered at a young age, and now that he has gone to Ningbo, how he took the initiative to protect his relatives when the wind and rain came, he didn't boast too much, but it was enough to make the Queen Mother happy.

The Queen Mother sat in this position, lived for so many years, and never heard any kind of words.

She has long paid attention to Chen Houji, and has a good impression of him, and now hearing these details from Dr. Chen's mouth is enough for her to outline in her heart the appearance of such a young man who is enthusiastic and handsome and willing to be responsible and responsible.

It's really good.

The point is, Mingjia likes it very much.

That Qin Xu has a better appearance, but Mingjia dislikes him for being too good-looking and not like a man, they are elders and love their juniors, so they can't force her, after all, it's a lifelong event.

And this Chen Houji, although he is a little bit worse, but he is against the family style of the Chen family, which is enough to withstand the others.

Mrs. Chen stayed here for a long time before the Queen Mother said she was tired and let Mrs. Chen leave.

"The daughter-in-law sent Mrs. Chen." Princess Ying stood up and saluted the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, which was a response.

Princess Ying is very white and clean, and she looks a little plump, but this makes her more kind. Especially between her face, eyebrows, and eyes, she always has a smile, and she can easily make people close. She believes in Buddhism, and her body is always dyed with a faint smell of sandalwood, and she loves to do good deeds and generosity, and she is a nominal disciple in the Shuiyue Nunnery, very pious, and is a recognized philanthropist in the capital.

She walked out of Cining Palace with Mrs. Chen, and sighed lightly as she walked slowly: "I have a daughter, and since I was born, I have been pampered. It's rare that she is not arrogant by nature, but she prefers to dance swords and guns, she is so strong and resolute, and she has developed a boy's temperament. ”

When she saw that Mrs. Chen was about to speak, she gently waved her hand and motioned Mrs. Chen to continue listening to her: "For so many years, she has not made a single close friend in her boudoir, but she has always been with Qin Xu and Chen Houji, competing and drinking, and chatting ......."

Mrs. Chen's face showed some discomfort.

Princess Ying shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "That's fine." I'll tell you straight, ma'am. ”

"I used to worry that Ming Jiadu was still ignorant and incomprehensible at the age of sixteen, whether she could get married, and whether her temperament would not please her husband's family after she got married......" Princess Ying looked at Mrs. Chen, with a smile of heartfelt happiness, and said: "As a result, the last time she came back, she asked me directly, does she have to marry before the age of eighteen?" ”

"I deliberately said that in fact, nineteen is also okay, in short, it can't be over double ten. You can't say anything about not marrying for the rest of your life. Princess Ying smiled and said: "I thought she would lose her temper depressed, but she thought about it and said, since this is the case, then it is better to marry Chen Er......"

Princess Ying looked at Mrs. Chen and asked with a smile: "Madam, you say, how did I raise such a daughter with such a soft temperament?" Dare to say such things! It's a little like me! ”

"It's not like Niangniang, it's like a prince." Mrs. Chen heard what Princess Ying said, and hurriedly said: "Princess, don't hide it, as early as more than a month ago, my aunt only went to Ningbo to take up his post this year, and he wrote a letter back, saying that he saw the county lord and his achievements on Putuo Island, and felt that this pair of children was very compatible...... In a letter to my father-in-law, I mentioned this incident and asked if I had the honor to ......"

"My father-in-law told me two days ago that he had already mentioned it to the prince, saying that he would wait until the boss's relatives decided in advance, and he would officially entrust someone to the palace to ......" (to be continued......)
