Xue Guifei's womb was preserved, and Emperor Zhaoqing was overjoyed, and a large number of rewards were sent to Zhongcui Palace, no matter how many women in the palace were sad and red-eyed, Queen Rui was completely quiet.

Emperor Zhaoqing forbade the palace people to talk too much, but she was allowed to summon her family members into the palace to talk, but the old lady Xue died, the population of Xue Xiang's family was thin, and there were not many female dependents.

Xue Xiang lost his wife in middle age and did not renew the string, and had two sons and two daughters, to be seen by others, the two daughters are good fortune, one is a noble concubine, and the other is a princess.

The Xin family was confused and was announced into the palace, and when he heard the good news, he came out of the palace top-heavy, and when he got home, he learned the words of the concubine Niangniang to the second master Xue.

"The lady next to me didn't specifically mention it, just said that we don't have to worry about the marriage of the eldest son of the house, I didn't dare to ask more, just thought, shouldn't the mother already have a candidate in her heart, just waiting for His Majesty to get married?"

Xue Er's old man is a soldier in the army, he is forty years old this year, his face is white and beardless, his body is slightly fat, he doesn't look like a diligent soldier at a glance, but like a squire and the like, no one can see that he followed Xue Xiangbing to the southwest when he was fourteen or fifteen years old.

"When Niangniang said this, was the princess in front of her?" Second Master Xue asked endlessly.

"Here," Xin Shi looked at her master's face, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't the old man intentionally hire a girl from the Rui family for the eldest prince before?" ”

Second Master Xue smiled indifferently: "Where did you hear the gossip, how could our family get married to the Earl's Palace." ”

Xin was stunned: "Didn't the old man ask me to inquire about the character of that Miss Zizhu in the Earl's Palace?" ”

A family dinner a few months ago. Xue Xiang called the two people in the second room to him, and mentioned that there was a young lady in the Earl's Mansion who was waiting for the word boudoir, and the implication was to ask the Xin family to come to the door to find out.

Xue Xiangfu is very different from other families, the main house is run by a few housekeepers and old people, and the second room has moved out early to set up its own door, so the Xue family, a woman who can go out to socialize, is the only one left in the Xin family.

Although the identity of Mrs. Shilang is not very good, the Xin family still honestly went to the Earl's Mansion twice, and did not see Rui Zizhu herself, which means that she brought it. The Countess didn't look unhappy. Who knew that this marriage had not been seriously mentioned, and it would be in the soup without a beginning.

Second Master Xue glanced at her and said, "Who said that if you inquire, you must succeed, aren't you a girl who has seen several families for Kuang Xuxiang." Do you want to marry your son into the house? ”

Xin's face flushed. Unconvinced: "What did the master say?" Where can Xu'er compare with his cousin, in the future, the eldest son will inherit the eldest grandson of the family business, and the marriage will not be a little casual. If the woman's family misunderstands, won't people complain. ”

Other people's families in the capital may want to make trouble in the backyard for the family business brothers, the Xue family has long been without this trouble, the old lady Xue has always been the same, the first two sons each got married, and the little one was "pushed" out of the house, and a family fortune was divided, and it was clear that the eldest son wanted to inherit the ancestral business, and then the eldest son died, and he didn't mention the matter of letting the younger son go back to the mansion, but instead focused on cultivating the eldest grandson, and didn't even give the second room a chance to have some extra thoughts.

Such a simple and crude method of governing the family once made the rich and noble families in the entire Anling City look sideways, and of course the arguments are mixed.

"Huh." Second Master Xue smiled this time, looked at his shrewd and limited wife, and didn't squeak.

I'm afraid that his extremely smart eldest nephew will mistakenly think that the old man really has the heart to let him marry a girl from the Rui family, so that he can marry the Earl's Palace, settle the unjust case of the tenth princess falling from the building, and make peace with the queen.

But it was always clear to him that it was impossible.

Just one thing, his sister in the palace will never agree to this family business, and it is a fantasy to ask their eldest brother's only son to marry the niece of the queen's family.

He doesn't know how strong the eldest sister's temper is, as if many years ago, there was an accident, and the second sister was confused for a while-

"Master," Xin called back Second Master Xue, who was reminiscing about the old things.

"We don't have to worry about the affairs of the eldest prince, there is a father and a mother to look at it, it is our Xu'er who should be anxious," Xin said with a worried face:

"In two months, the children are seventeen, Chengbi's marriage is so delayed, how can he, the younger brother, take the lead, I just look at each other, I have to be quiet, for fear that my father will be unhappy if he knows the way, if I wait another year or two, I am afraid that the girls I am optimistic about will be picked out."

Second Master Xue thought of his son, and he also had a headache, but his headache was not his son's marriage, so let's put it this way, how competitive the Chengbi children of his eldest brother's family are, how uncompetitive the bastard boys of his family are!

Xue Rui was already a five-grade official from the two lists of Jinshi at a young age, he could enter and leave the court, and he was famous, but Xue Kuangxu couldn't learn martial arts, he couldn't endure hardships when he learned martial arts, and he was not this material for studying.

"My son of the Xue family, why worry about family affairs," the people in Anling City who want to be related to their Xue family don't know how many, and it is someone else who wants to be in a hurry, and the second master Xue feels that the Xin family is worrying in vain.

"You have time to inquire about these things, why don't you discipline your precious son well, he runs away all day without a trace, and even I, the father, don't know what he's busy with."

Xin didn't want to listen to him count his son, stood up, glanced at him and said: "It's not that you didn't know what kind of fire you didn't know before, as soon as you saw him, you scolded him with a straight face, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to come to you, okay, I'll let people go outside to find him back, and the master will take a nap." ”

"I scolded him for his good," Second Master Xue muttered, seeing that the Xin family lifted the curtain and went out, he sighed secretly, thinking that he only had such a son for most of his life, if he could have half of Xue Rui's competitiveness, how could he be willing to scold him.

In the early years, there were several princes and they were all young and young, the situation was unclear, the old man was happy to see Chengbi and King Ning befriended, so he acquiesced to Xu'er running behind them, who said that Chengbi and King Ning turned their faces later, that stupid boy couldn't tell the difference, the Nine Emperors all came back to Beijing, but he still went to King Ning one by one, telling him why he didn't get angry.

Yu Shu heard the good news of Xue Guifei the next day, it wasn't that someone came to inform her, it was Xu Qing who heard it when Si Tianjian was "hanging out".

Yu Shu has two more guards by his side, and he goes to Si Tianjian during the day, and does not let them guard the door, but sends them to walk around the office to act as eyes and ears.

Lu Hong and Xu Qing relied on her resounding name, Si Tianjian was almost unimpeded except for certain places, and she could go anywhere, and after a few days, she became familiar everywhere, and she was gradually able to bring back some useful or useless gossip to Yu Shu.

"I heard from a master of the Huiji Division that last night there was a decree in the palace asking them to select a thousand jade coins for the boys, and use pearl silk to weave a bright moon out of the sea and send it to the palace, which is said to be the emperor preparing to reward the concubine at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

Xu Qing learned the original words, Yu Shu pondered for a while, and felt strange, this boy jade coin and pearl silk are auspicious things, in the Xin family gave her half of the "Kit Kat Treasure Book" has a record, the former is the copper coin size of the jade hung on the neck of the baby boy less than 100 days old, absorbing red yang qi, nine hundred and eighty-one days to become one, the latter is a rare pearl silkworm spit out of the silk thread, like silver wisps and excellent flexibility, is the royal tribute.

The pearl silk is just that, the emperor is happy to use the one or two gold to make a foot of silk baby to weave a pattern for his favorite concubine, at most she sighs that the grace of the concubine is not declining, but the use of the boy jade coin is intriguing, if she remembers correctly, this thing has always been used to the pregnant ladies in the palace to wear it closely, to appease the fetal god.

In this way, Xue Guifei is pregnant?!

After Yu Shu summed it up, he immediately felt that this was good news.

In order to confirm this matter, she approved a few marriage proposals in the afternoon, and waited for Jingchen to stamp the big seal tomorrow morning, and did not wait for the sunset bell to ring, so she went to Dali Temple to find Xue Rui for verification.

The same is the official office, Dali Temple is not far away, Yu Shu walked past the bell tower, Lu Hong led her horse, bowed her arm to support her wide robe, stepped on the saddle, and then turned to ride her official horse, and Xu Qing followed her side closely, and walked out of the gate of Si Tianjian unimpeded.

Xu Qing rode on the back of a tall horse, and looked back at the gradually small figures of the guards on duty under the giant wooden gate, just two months ago, he, like these horsemen, stood guard day and night, and was transferred from this gate to that gate, and was covered by the high wall gate, as if he would never see the day of his future.

Xu Qing ran for a while, found that he was a little behind Lu Hong, and hurriedly followed

Before Yu Shu walked to Dali Temple, he saw Xue Rui's official sedan chair halfway through, and it seemed that he had just come out of the official office and was going elsewhere, but Lu Hong stepped forward to stop her.

Xue Rui lifted the cloth curtain and glanced outside, and saw that it was Yu Shu, so he asked the sedan chair man to put down the sedan chair and stop on the side of the road to talk to her.

"Where are you going?"

"Just about to go home," Xue Rui leaned half his arms against the window of the sedan chair, her docile mare named Xiaohong lowered her head and sniffed at him flatteringly, he reached out to block its huge head, rubbed it on its cheeks, Xiaohong shyly twisted her head away.

A moment ago, someone from the house found the yamen, and my grandfather asked him to go back, but I don't know what happened.

Yu Shu asked in a low voice, "I heard that the concubine in the palace is happy?" ”

Xue Rui was surprised for a moment: "What? ”

"Don't you know the way?" Yu Shu was a little disappointed, but she thought she had heard the wrong rumor.

Xue Rui was about to shake his head, and then thought that his grandfather sent someone to find him back, wasn't it to tell him about it? Suddenly thinking a little more, he glanced at Yu Shu, who heard the movement one step ahead of him, shook his head and smiled:

"You go to the Forgotten Machine Building first and wait for me, and I'll go to look for you later." (To be continued......)
