Chapter 45: Pingyang

"Who else?" Although He Yan was a little surprised, he was more concerned about others.

The steward took out a transcribed letter from his bosom and respectfully presented it to Mr. Bai first, and then Mr. Bai to He Yan.

He Yan looked at it one by one, the second prince marrying the concubine is the most important thing these days, maybe this will set the future queen. It doesn't matter if a relative is knighted, and having a queen shows that the heavenly family still has expectations and trust in this family.

He Yan only hated that Xingzhao couldn't be a few years older, with the qualifications of the He family, the position of the crown princess could be a fight, let alone a princess. The Ministry of Rites wrote He Sanniang's line clearly, just to sell the He family a face and make up a number.

The daughter of the Anguo Gongshi family, the daughter of the Zhongxian Bolin family, the granddaughter of the eldest princess of Jiayi, the daughter of Li Lingqing, the right attendant of the household department, the daughter of Shao Ye, the governor of western Fujian, and the daughter of Chen Xian of the cabinet

After reading it line by line, I finally saw a row of words, waiting for the daughter of the Min family in the letter, and Min Jirou.

He Yan smiled, and looked at it again from beginning to end, the list submitted by the Ministry of Rites this time has a total of thirteen, most of them are daughters of noble families, and most of them are people in Dingjing City, and a few are also in Jiangnan and Fujian, far away from the northwest.

A few years ago, the emperor first sent his confidant Liang Pinggong to replace the original governor of the northwest, and then removed the armaments of the three defenders in the northwest in a row, and replaced them with people who went from Dingjing. The northwest changed the sky, and the henchmen of the Fang family over the years were withdrawn, but Fang Qi in the west of the town did not move, and even more and more elaborate than in previous years during the last year's ceremony, as if he was afraid that the emperor would not know that the Fang family had more hands in the old forest in the northwest.

Empress Fang has been in the palace for more than ten years, and has never had a child, the emperor would rather raise the ninth princess under the knee of Queen Fang, and would rather raise the four princes with leg disease and motherless to Concubine De, rather than raise them in Fengyi Palace

Thinking of this for no reason, He Yan smiled, gave the letterhead to Manager Bai, and instructed: "Copy another copy and send it to the staff." ”

After the "Miao'an Rebellion", the noble families in Dingjing City from the original twenty, seized the Danshu iron coupons, and were imprisoned and exiled, and now there are only eight left, and it is in these eight families that in addition to the He family who still holds real power, only the Min family is still responsible for some holy favors, and it also benefits from the in-laws of the Min family who are widely distributed and flourishing.

Sure enough, looking at it in this way, the tall man among the short people is still the Min family's chances of winning.

Manager Bai answered, and walked out, but was suddenly stopped by He Yan, "Send another copy to Rongshoutang." ”

When Mrs. Tai got the fluttering note, Zhang's mother looked very happy, Mrs. Tai slapped Hou Ye's face like that in the morning, Hou Ye still didn't care, it can be seen that the mother and son are connected, and they can't cut it anymore. Then he lightly pulled out the tortoiseshell glasses from the fine blue flannel cloth and put them on the serving lady.

Mrs. Tai sat up straight, looked down line by line, and when she saw "He Xingming, the daughter of He Huan, a scholar of the Lin'an Hou Mansion, she smiled, put the paper in front of the desk again, and said to Zhang's mother: "The group of people in the Ministry of Rites can do things. Xingzhao is not old enough, and he still knows how to make up a number of things. ”

"The second lady worries about the fate of the third girl all day long, and now it is like a layer of gold plated in this booklet, I have lived shy for so many years, and I have never seen any lady who has won the candidate of the princess, and there can be a bad marriage." Mother Zhang smiled and brought a cup of water to Mrs. Tai and served her to drink.

Mrs. Tai didn't answer, and slowly took a sip of water. Tea antidote, since after taking the medicine, you can only drink water. But such scruples and treatments can't cure heart disease.

"Alas, let someone bring a message to the second lady. Tell her to relax a little, stop arresting who is who, and show some foreign appearances. Mrs. Tai instructed, and when she was about to ask He Yan how to deal with the Wan Steward's family, Rue Xiang came in with a curtain, holding a magenta red hook orchid post in her hand, and after singing the salute, she said crisply: "Pingyang Wangfu has come to post." ”

Mrs. Tai took a look, closed it again, stopped Zhang's mother with a smile, and said to Su Qing: "Ask the eldest lady and the second lady to come here, and Xingming and Ah Yu will also come." ”

As soon as Zhang's mother heard that it was a post from the Pingyang Palace, where was there any reason that she didn't understand, the king of Pingyang was the younger brother of the previous mother's compatriots, and he had a close relationship, and he was an idle prince, and the Ministry of Rites presented the list of the second princesses. I heard that the second prince is fourteen, and it is time to get married, and it will take two or three years for the He family to do the family affairs, not to mention the royal regulations.

When Zhang's mother went to the main courtyard, Xing Zhao was accompanying the eldest lady to meet the stewards of each office, and made a plan for the next year in a few words. Although the eldest lady has a soft and cowardly temperament, she is a good hand at setting up accounts for the housekeeper, and the Fang family was born in the army, and teaching her daughter will naturally not be like the hairpin noble family in Dingjing City - even vaguely talking about firewood, rice, oil, salt and money feels tacky. The housekeeper has never made a mistake over the years, and the He family's private property has quadrupled.

"Mrs. Tai's spirit is much better today, maybe it's the wonderful effect of your He Shou Wu. No, I just took the post of Pingyang Wangfu and asked you and the four girls to go to Rongshoutang. ”

Listening to Zhang's mother's words, Xingzhao's hand with the pen shook, and he saw that the thick black ink fell on the paper, and a drop of ink soaked through the paper into the felt, and there was no trace. The mood is like a slight wave, and after a little ripple, a pool of green is still without waves. Pingyang Palace, isn't it Zhou Pingning's father, the palace of Pingyang King?

The eldest lady responded with a smile: "Then use another box, if one box is not enough, use two boxes, and write a letter to ask my brother to send it again." He looked at the mother-in-law who was sitting in the room, explained a few more words, and then took Xingzhao to Rongshoutang.

On the way, I happened to meet the second lady with a happy face, Xingming who followed behind with a red face, and Su Qing, who walked last.

Xing Zhao thought in his heart, the general direction of his previous life has not changed, but there have been a lot of daily things, and it seems that it is a good thing in the second house.

The second lady quickened her steps, smiled and greeted the eldest lady first, and then took Xingzhao, and asked again and again how well she slept last night? Did Brother Jing go to school with Mr. Ming today?

Xingzhao was amused in his heart, the second lady was very curious, and she wanted to ask about the follow-up of yesterday's incident but was reluctant to say it, so she only smiled and replied one by one: "I slept very well, my brother went to Mr. Chengxi Ming early in the morning to discuss books, Mr. Ming is a great Confucian and strictly manages." ”

The second lady covered her mouth and smiled, and then pulled the eldest lady and spoke intimately.

The two little sisters Xingzhao and Xingming naturally fell behind, Xingming had a bare face, leaned into Xingzhao's ear and said: "Sister Suqing, the Ministry of Rites also chose my list for the second princess."

At the end of the words, the voice became more and more low, but the excitement in the words could not be concealed. Also, people who are recognized by the royal family, it is too late for others to rob them, just like the aunt who came out of the palace, she was robbed by the family as soon as she left the palace, so she went to the signboard of the imperial city.

Xingzhao saw that Xingming was happy, and he also covered his mouth and smiled, the second lady was worried that Xingming's marriage was not a day or two, Xingming was not on the roster in the previous life, but now that he is on it, the natural selection is wider, and the starting point can be higher, no wonder the second lady is happy.

The front and back were all laughing and talking, and after a while, Rongshoutang arrived.
