Zhang's temperament is still relatively naïve, she is very confident in the queen mother and the emperor, and comforted Mrs. Cao and said: "It's okay, the queen mother was in trouble in the past, but now she is not much more restrained?" There is still the queen mother and the emperor in the palace, and the queen mother can't even get out of Kunning Palace, at most, there are a few henchmen to call, and what kind of moths can be produced? Your family is outside, and the people in Qushui Bofu are also quite reasonable, so there will be no accidents. ”

Mrs. Cao sighed: "What if the queen can't get out of Kunning Palace? I heard that the emperor has now shown signs of soft-heartedness, and there are still princes and princesses, and the queen will always come out one day. Even if she could only walk around the palace, it was enough to worry people. If it is another family, you can rest assured that you will not be implicated in a word. But my son is in charge of the forbidden army, and if something happens in the palace, where will he escape the blame? If it is because of this family business, the emperor is suspicious, then it is unlucky! ”

Unlike the Zhang family, Mrs. Cao's son has been on an errand in the palace for many years and is very well-informed. She found that the emperor was becoming more and more suspicious, and he was not as generous and reasonable as when he first ascended the throne. It's just that she can't say this kind of thing to the Zhang family, and she can't even say much to her family, so she can only keep it in her heart. She is really afraid that her family will be implicated because her granddaughter marries into the queen's mother's family.

Zhang didn't know what was going on in her mind, and was still comforting her: "No, what can the queen do?" Even if she is really annoyed with the emperor, she always has to think about the princes and princesses. The eldest son of the emperor has not yet established a prince, and the second son of the emperor and the princess are still young. Besides, even if the queen really does something that she shouldn't do, the emperor will not blame your general for no reason. This marriage is not your own marriage, it is given by the emperor, isn't it? As long as your family behaves properly and sits upright, how can the emperor suspect you for no reason? ”

Mrs. Cao glanced at Zhang, couldn't help but sigh again, and said after a while: "I hope it's like what you said, in my heart, it's always up and down." Our Sister Luo is good. But in the Beijing lady's show, why did the queen mother and the emperor choose her to be the wife of the eldest prince of Qu Shuibo? ”

Zhang smiled: "Sister Luo is your own granddaughter, why do you underestimate her as a grandmother?" I think Sister Luo is very good, with a family background and temperament. Where is it not worthy of the eldest son of Qu Shuibo? If she is not good, can the Queen Mother and the Emperor take a fancy to her? Besides, although the eldest son of Qu Shuibo has always had a good reputation, I haven't seen much of it, and I always feel that he is not very outstanding. Sister Luo is worthy of him. is more than enough. ”

Mrs. Cao shook her head: "You were not in the capital a few years ago, and I don't know how famous the son of the Xie family is." Let me tell you honestly, if it weren't for the incident that the queen mother had made before, and the marriage between Xie Xiangfei and the four girls of the Jiang family had been disrupted, I am afraid that his reputation would be even louder. If the four girls of the Jiang family were not with an aunt like the Queen Mother, others might think that she was not worthy of Xie Xiangfei. Just because of the queen's mother, the reputation of Qushui Bofu was hit, and the family pretended to be quails and didn't dare to publicize it, otherwise you wouldn't think that Xie Xiangfei was not outstanding. At that time, he could be regarded as the leader of the young generation in Beijing. I'm not afraid that you will be annoyed, but I am afraid that even the prince of Guangping will be ranked behind him. Although the prince said that his status was noble, his temper was not very good at that time, and he rarely walked outside, so he was naturally not as dazzling as Xie Xiangfei. ”

Zhang didn't believe it: "How good the son is, how can there be a young man who is better than him?" ”

Mrs. Cao will not argue with her on this kind of issue, but only said: "In short, if it is two years in advance, there is no allusion to the marriage of Xie Jiang's two families, Xie Xiangfei, a young talent." It's definitely not our Sister Luo's turn. At that time, it was expected to marry him, either the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, or the lady of the Houmen, as well as the noble daughter of the royal family. Later, the four girls of the Jiang family were decided. is also a good match, where did you think that the queen mother would be in trouble? Now that I think that Sister Luo will have such a troublesome sister-in-law in the future, I panic. It's a pity that the reason for the marriage given by the emperor is not to be rejected by our family, my daughter-in-law wants to delay it day by day, and when the queen is stable, the eldest son of the emperor is established. Presumably, everyone will be able to feel at ease, and it should be okay to marry Sister Luo at that time. ”

Zhang Shi understood: "No wonder you will hide today, it turns out that you want to avoid the Xie family." If you let your daughter-in-law be a wicked person, it will be difficult for her. ”

Mrs. Cao disagreed: "She has always had an opinion, and she also doesn't like this family business, she was originally angry with the wife of Scholar Li, and she was ready to discuss marriage, how did she know that the palace would make an order?" Even if I don't call her a villain, she won't give the Xie family a good face. I hid out, so I really saved her reputation, saving outsiders from watching our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's good show. ”

Zhang laughed when he heard it, knowing that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had always had some knots, but they bumped and bumped, but they were safe all the way. Mrs. Cao is a person who takes the overall situation into account and will never let outsiders see her jokes. She also doesn't have a strong temperament, and when she needs to make concessions, she won't have a hard top with her daughter-in-law Cao Fang. To say such things now is just a hard mouth.

Zhang only smiled and said: "Your family wants to delay the wedding until next year, which is also right." Our sister Xiu is going to marry the prince of Guangping, and she has scheduled to pass the door next autumn, so she has more than a year to prepare for marriage. Your sister Luo is also a pampered child in the family, and it is not surprising that she is ready to marry for a year and a half. This matter is that Qu Shuibo Mansion is anxious. ”

Mrs. Cao was happy to hear this: "Isn't it? That's what I thought, that's why Sister Luo and her mother quarreled with the Xie family. She suddenly thought of one thing, and she was a little embarrassed: "That...... Good girl, are you Sister Xiu free these days? I want Sister Luo to come over to accompany her, and let Sister Xiu enlighten her. The girl didn't know what was wrong, but she got into the tip of the horn. Her mother and I don't like this family business, we have our own considerations, but what is there for her to be embarrassed? actually said that Xie Xiangfei was originally talking to the four girls of the Jiang family, and the whole capital knew that now that the fourth girl Jiang had not yet decided to marry, she was going to marry the Xie family first, and she felt ...... Some have no face. ”

Zhang was surprised to hear this: "What do you say?" The marriage of the royal gift, how can there be no face? The prince of Qu Shui and Miss Jiang Si never made a family affair, but the two families had a tacit understanding, and they also asked the queen to make peace, but it failed to happen. The Queen Mother and the Jiang family have made it clear that they will never marry the Xie family again, and the two of them will be lost from then on. Since there is no fate, it is natural that men and women have nothing to do with each other. Sooner or later, the son of Qu Shui Bo will marry, so what does it have to do with Miss Jiang Si? ”

Mrs. Cao sighed: "We all understand this truth, but Sister Luo is young and ignorant, so she will think left." She is not familiar with Miss Jiang Si, but she has dealt with Miss Jiang Liu a few times, and I don't know if it is because of this that she feels sorry for the Jiang family. ”

Zhang said: "No, the marriage given by the Queen Mother, the Jiang family must have known about it a long time ago." Even Miss Jiang Liu will not have any complaints. On the New Year, I took Sister Xiu into the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother on the New Year, and the Queen Mother gave them something to the little girls of the marriage clan, and gave Sister Luo another thing. At that time, the second lady of the Jiang family and the sixth girl were all present, with a smile on their faces, and they did not look reluctant at all. Sister Luo, this is the tip of the horns. The old sister just asked her to come over, and I personally enlightened her. ”

Mrs. Cao hurriedly said: "That's really thankful, I'm so heartbroken for this child, I just hope that she will think about it as soon as possible." For this little thing, she was stuffy in the house and refused to see anyone, and if the people outside knew what was going on, they were afraid that they would laugh at her. ”

Mrs. Cao made an appointment with the Zhang family to bring her granddaughter to the door, and after the appointment, she was in a good mood and asked Zhao Xiu: "Sister Xiu didn't come to see me today, what is this doing?" ”

Zhang smiled and told her the reason, naturally because Zhao Xiu was going to take an etiquette class. Mrs. Cao became interested when she heard this: "I heard that the grandmother in the palace has been at your house for half a year, and she hasn't finished teaching yet?" What are you taught? Do you have to learn every day, and you don't even have time to rest? ”

Although Zhang is very satisfied with her granddaughter's learning results, she is also very distressed when she talks about this: "I have to attend classes for three or four hours a day, and I am tired and hard. is also a girl who wants to learn the rules, and the girl of the Li family is even more tired when she hears it, and the family has already invited a doctor twice. Mrs. Li heard that our family has a prescription that can recuperate the woman's body, which is very effective, and she came to ask for it. I told her that it was for women, and that young girls didn't need it, so she was going to go alive and dead, just in case. I thought to myself that she was the same as me, and how could a grandmother not feel sorry for her granddaughter? also explained her a few words. ”

Mrs. Cao has some understanding of Mrs. Li: "It's hard for her, she is the most trouble-free person on weekdays, obviously she and the Queen Mother are sisters-in-law, but she doesn't enter the palace or go back to the Jiang family for nothing, so she doesn't have to come to the door to ask, and she is embarrassed to refuse, and it will cause trouble to the Queen Mother and the Jiang family when the time comes." She is a person who has always refused to ask for help, and she has to come to you for her granddaughter to ask for a prescription, if she doesn't really feel sorry for her granddaughter, she can't do it. ”

Zhang smiled: "It turns out that you also know her, so it couldn't be better." I've got along very well with her, and you'll have a cup of tea with you another day. I also told her that I wanted to be a matchmaker together. She mentioned that she had a concubine who was not yet married, and her appearance was ordinary, but her temperament was excellent, less than the above, more than the bottom, but she didn't know what kind of family thing to say. This girl is an elder, she has not yet married, the eldest princess of the emperor is out of the cabinet first, it is easy to make people talk, so she wants to find a good person who knows cold and hot, and marry her first. I asked Mrs. Li what kind of son-in-law she was looking for. Is it a scholar, or a talent in the army? She said that scholars pay attention to the rules, and they are afraid that their future in-laws will dislike her daughter as a concubine, so it is best to pick someone in the army. I think I'll have to ask you for help with this marriage. ”

What's so hard about that? Mrs. Cao agreed without saying a word: "Wrap it on me, I'll look for it when I turn around." In the forbidden army under my son, there are also young talents whose family backgrounds are not yet married, all of them are high-grade military attachés, and they are also worthy of the daughters of the Li family. ”

Zhang was overjoyed, and the two discussed for a long time, and fully communicated the unmarried male and female resources at hand. In addition to Mrs. Li, he also brought in several other old ladies and old ladies who were good friends, both civil and military. The team of old matchmakers in the circle of noblewomen in the capital is growing stronger and stronger. (To be continued.) )
