"Grandma, what are you talking about, people are still young." Zhou Xiya stomped her feet embarrassedly, she has never experienced marriage in two lives, she has admired young talents in her previous life, but people don't look down on her, so she is still emotionally blank.

"Hehe, it's not small, it's sixteen, it's a big girl, it's time to pick, our Ya'er is so beautiful, what kind of good son can't be found, this matter will be handed over to me and your two aunts, there are suitable candidates who will let your father pick, you haven't been back to the capital, and there is no familiar friend in the city, go back and let your cousin and cousin take you to play, you integrate into their circle, those girls are well-informed." Mrs. Bai touched Zhou Xiya's little face, our excellent child naturally wants this good son-in-law.

"Mother, don't worry, we are involved in this matter, and naturally we will not treat our Ya'er badly." The two daughters-in-law hurriedly agreed, although they were Ya'er's foreign family, but who let Ya'er's mother be gone, and handed it over to others, it was better for them to go and find it in person.

"Grandma, cousin, cousin, where's they?" Zhou Xiya diverted the topic, otherwise her grandmother didn't know what else to say.

Although the younger generation of the family has never seen each other except when she was a child, she has some correspondence when she grows up, and she is familiar with it in her previous life, but her personality is very unpleasant, so that her cousins and cousins don't like her very much, she must ease this relationship in this life, she is not close to many people, and the younger generation must step up contact.

The eldest uncle's family gave birth to two cousins and a cousin, and the second uncle's family gave birth to a cousin and two cousins.

"Your eldest cousin just gave birth to a child, and she hasn't been out of confinement yet, and she knows that you're coming back, and she said that when she comes out of confinement to come to see you, it's not about to be the New Year, and your two cousins went to the ancestral home of the Bai family to worship their ancestors, and they will come soon." The eldest aunt explained.

"Your third cousin also followed, and your two cousins went to your grandfather's house, and I didn't know that you were coming back, and when they all came back, you and a group of children got together and got acquainted with each other." The second aunt drank it.

"Grandma, cousin, cousin, they are not here, aren't there still me? I will take my sister around, get acquainted with her, meet some friends, and let my sister integrate into our circle as soon as possible. Zhou Xiwan came to Mrs. Bai's side at Bai's signal, looking well-behaved.

"Yes, mother, when the time comes, let Wan'er take Ya'er to some girls' parties and meet some friends, with Wan'er here, Ya'er can't cure the loss." Bai whispered on the side.

Can't afford to lose? Zhou Xiwan didn't frame her, it would be good, she suffered a lot of losses from her in her previous life, she was gentle and gentle outside, like a poor little white flower, but her heart was actually black.

"Grandma, I just came back, I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay with your old man to do my mother's filial piety, you are so anxious to push me out." Zhou Xiya took Mrs. Bai's hand and shook it gently.

"Okay, okay, if you don't go, just stay with me, the old woman." Madame Bai smiled very happily, "I've been standing for a long time, go over there and sit down, let's sit and talk." ”

Zhou Xiya whispered when she walked past Zhou Xiwan, "The social circle of concubines, do you think I am rare?" ”

Zhou Xiwan almost broke the gong, but on this occasion she knew that she couldn't show malice, otherwise she would only be unlucky.

The charcoal brazier in the hall was burning warmly, and several women were chatting, but they were also at ease, except for Bai's deliberate flattery and Zhou Xiwan's reluctance, Zhou Xiya felt that she was still very comfortable in her grandfather's house.

The atmosphere in the study room is a little dignified.

"Jianxiong, did you meet Your Majesty after today's court meeting?" Although it is a question sentence, Bai Ruichuan is very sure.

"Yes? After the dispersal of the dynasty, His Majesty summoned me," Zhou Jianxiong nodded.

The father-in-law is in charge of the entire imperial doctor's order, and he naturally doesn't need to go to the court, but many things in the court can't be hidden from him, especially some things in the palace.

"Your Majesty said that you were summoned back urgently this time?"

"Having said that, Your Majesty handed over the prevention and control of the capital to me, the focus is on guarding the army in the capital, let me train it, and it can be seen that Your Majesty is a little more powerless than in previous years." Zhou Jianxiong did not hide it, he was not very clear about the situation in the court, it was always good to have his father-in-law on the side, his father-in-law had been by the emperor's side for so many years, and he was like a tiger, and gaining the emperor's trust was by no means something that could be done simply by having a good medical skill.

"Yes, Your Majesty is old, although his ambition has not diminished back then, but his health is not very good, and now the situation in the DPRK and China is not very stable, although the prince is still in the position of the prince, but the second prince has grown up, the queen prefers the younger son, Your Majesty's ears are soft, whether this prince can sit firmly in this position is not sure, Your Majesty transferred you back is also a precaution, if it really happens that the abolition of the prince and the establishment of the second prince, it is inevitable that the prince will not make the last resistance, you have been outside all these years, and there is no involvement in the struggle for imperial power, The emperor will rest assured if he hands over the military power to you. Bai Ruichuan pointed out the key.

He often goes in and out of the palace, and he sees things in the palace very clearly, the queen dominates the harem, although her appearance is no longer there, but she is married to the emperor, and it still has a deep impact on the emperor, plus the second prince is very scheming, what will happen in the future, who can say for sure.

"The stability of the crown prince involves the stability of the country, how can Your Majesty listen to the woman's words, although the prince has not made much achievements, but after succeeding to the throne, he will not necessarily make a mess of the country's governance, how can it be easily changed." Zhou Jianxiong frowned, he didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the capital, women interfering in politics, this is a conscription for the chaos of the country.

"Nothing can't happen, the second prince has the support of the queen behind him, and the prince also has the opportunity to sit on the throne, you are back, the water in the court is even more mixed, the prince and the second prince will come to woo you, the most important thing for you now is to stabilize your heart, no one should get closer, although Your Majesty's body is occasionally sick, but it is no problem to live for another six or seven years, during this time you look at the decision, you are the king of soldiers in the north, with you, you can withstand the iron hooves of the Turks, no matter who becomes the emperor, it will not easily move you." Bai Ruichuan sighed, the more he experiences such a change of throne, the more stable he must be, otherwise no matter how deep the foundation of the family is, it will be uprooted, in front of the imperial power, they are still weak, and the family can't bear the power of a country, what they can do is to protect themselves.

"I understand," Zhou Jianxiong nodded, it seems that the situation between the DPRK and China is really unstable.

"You take advantage of the Chinese New Year to see your uncle, that's an old fox, don't look at him not in the capital, but you can't hide anything from him, talk to him, take a hair and move your whole body, you are the highest official position in the Zhou family among the generals, representing the Zhou family, I can see that the old fox manages the descendants of the Zhou family very tightly." Bai Ruichuan laughed, a family must be a qualified head of the family in order to ensure the longevity of the family.

Zhou Jianxiong touched his nose, and dared to say that the uncle was an old fox, and there was only a father-in-law left, who called the uncle to beg his father-in-law, he was old, and who didn't have three disasters and five diseases.

No wonder my father-in-law sent his second uncle to serve in the south, it turned out to be to stay away from the troubled waters between the DPRK and China.
