In the capital, in the imperial study, the emperor is looking at the list of examinations and the answer sheets of the top three.

The Huiyuan of the current branch will be Xia Shujie, the corners of the emperor's mouth are slightly upturned, this kid, if nothing else, should be the first civil and military double champion in the history of the Great Zhou.

The emperor has carefully read the answer sheets of the Shujie Township Examination and the Hui Examination, and the angle of looking at the problem is unique, the thinking is clear, and the organization is clear, and all the examiners have given an "excellent" evaluation, which is extremely rare.

The emperor is in a good mood, in addition to Shujie, there is also a candidate named Yu Zhengran who is also close behind, both civil and military. Yu Zhengran is the eye of the martial arts list, and the second place in the liberal arts examination.

In the current situation of Da Zhou's economy is recovering and internal and external threats are increasing, talents like Xia Shujie and Yu Zhengran are simply the treasures of Da Zhou given to them by God.

Especially Shujie, because the emperor has seen him and talked to him, the image is particularly profound, like such a young man who values love and righteousness, is filial to his parents, and loves his younger siblings, will inevitably be a loyal and patriotic courtier. The emperor always remembered what the emperor said to him: people who were originally loyal and virtuous did not become loyal ministers, which is often something that the emperor himself should reflect on.

The emperor was looking at it happily, and the little eunuch outside reported: "Concubine Ma asks to see her." ”

The emperor frowned: "Let her in." "At this time, what is Ma Guifei doing here? And to find an errand for his second brother? The power of the Ma family in Da Zhou is about to reach the sky!

Ma Guifei, who was dressed in a blue palace dress, walked in, and the palace maid who followed behind was carrying a food box in her hand.

"Your Majesty, the concubine personally cooked ginseng black chicken and wolfberry soup, and simmered it for nearly three hours. Your Majesty. You've been working so hard all day, but you have to take care of your dragon's body. Ma Guifei said that she was about to open the lid of the food box and serve soup to the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand: "I love the concubine hard." Let's leave it there for now. I've just had a snack, and I don't have an appetite at this point. ”

Ma Guifei glanced at a dim sum plate on the other side of the dragon case, and there were still two small pastries left in it, so she had to give up: "In this way, then put it first, and let the big fortune simmer for a quarter of an hour or two later, and then give it to the emperor." ”

Dafuzi's father-in-law hurriedly responded: "Yes, Niangniang, please rest assured." ”

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of taking the initiative to ask, Ma Guifei had no intention of asking. I had to smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to ask the emperor for help." ”

The emperor said secretly, sure enough.

still smiled on his face: "Concubine Ai has something to say." ”

"That's right," Concubine Ma Guifei sat down on the chair on the side of the dragon case, "Ling'er, the second daughter of the eldest brother of the concubine, will be fifteen this year, Ling'er is the pearl of the concubine's parents and brother and sister-in-law, and the concubine wants to ask for a grace and ask the emperor to point Ling Er a family matter." ”

Marriage? This is not a big deal, but judging by Ma Guifei's demeanor and tone, there should be a goal.

The emperor took a sip of the teacup: "But the concubine has a suitable candidate?" ”

Concubine Ma Guifei hurriedly smiled: "The concubine is transparent in front of the emperor. Exactly, the concubine saw Xia Shujie's child for the first time in Cining Palace. Just like the tight. Later, the concubine's sister-in-law also saw the three brothers and sisters in Nangong Mansion, and immediately fell in love. Your Majesty, Ling'er, you have also seen it, her appearance is not picky, and her temperament is good, so it is definitely not inconsiderate to help Shujie take care of a pair of younger siblings and honor his father-in-law in the future. ”

The emperor's face was a smile that made people unable to see the content: "Oh? Xia Shujie? That's a good one. However, before Jin Boy left Beijing to travel, I promised him that the family affairs of the three Shujie siblings must be their own liking. Jin Xiaozi said that if the father and mother of the three brothers and sisters were alive, they must have hoped the same. You've also seen that Zhen, and the idea is always different. ”

The smile on Ma Guifei's face stiffened slightly, but it returned to normal in a moment, very fast, so fast that people thought they were dazzled.

She is very confident in her niece Ma Ling'er, Ma Ling'er's talent and character are very famous in the circle of nobles in the capital. The key now is, did Kim Heeda really ask the emperor for that promise? Or is it an excuse made by the emperor? If it is the former case, it is not surprising, as we all know, Jin Xida's three siblings treat Shujie like their own children, and they have always been casual and uninhibited. However, in the latter case...... The emperor's attitude towards the Ma family is intriguing.

The emperor didn't seem to feel anything wrong, and still had a smiling tone: "It's better for you to let your sister-in-law and Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis probe the mouth, if the two children are interested, I am happy to give marriage, this can be regarded as Jin Xiaozi marrying his daughter-in-law, but the big wedding must wait until Jin Xiaozi returns to Beijing." ”

Concubine Ma Guifei couldn't see any clues from the emperor's smile, and said with a smile: "That's natural, the emperor's idea is good, and the concubine will let people tell her sister-in-law when she turns around." ”

I heard that the parents of several nieces and granddaughters of the Queen Mother's family were also eyeing Xia Shujie, and her sister-in-law was afraid that those people would be close to the water, so she directly begged the Queen Mother to give her marriage, so she asked her to help ask the emperor to come here. Who would have thought that Kim Heeda had already asked the emperor for grace?

Ma Guifei said goodbye to the court, and the emperor's fingers tapped on the table, so quickly hit the idea on Shujie? It's okay, Jin Xida is not here, he just happened to see how Shujie and Weiyuan Houfu choose? How to deal with it? The emperor suddenly became interested.

"Dafuzi, you send a message to Weiyuan Hou." The emperor's eyes were still looking in the direction of the door.

Dafuzi understood: "Yes, the emperor, the slave will arrange it immediately." ”

In the evening of the same day, the three Shujie siblings were called to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion for dinner.

Wei Yuanhou first called Shujie to the study to chat for half an hour, and then the two arrived at the Xiaohua Hall together.

Yao Xuelan took out a few photos of the girls' information: "Brother Jie, you will be nineteen years old next month after your birthday, and it is time to make a family decision." What type of girl you like, you tell Aunt Lan, Aunt Lan and your uncle will help you see it, of course, you still have to decide it yourself. The girl's temperament is the most important, and then she wants you to like it, which is also what your father-in-law explained before he left Beijing. ”

Shujie said with a handsome face: "Be generous and courteous, be good to Yao'er and Wen'er, and be filial to your father-in-law." In his mind, the small figure that clung to her obediently appeared, and a pair of big eyes that wanted to speak.

Shuwen was anxious: "Big brother, don't forget, you are responsible for Sister Miao." Sister Miao is the most generous and courteous, my sister and I both like Sister Miao, she is the best for us. Sister Miao is so good, she will definitely be very filial to her father-in-law. ”

Shu Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud, this book, I can't wait to immediately pull Sister Miao to the house to be a sister-in-law, for fear of being snatched away again.

Shujie's face turned even redder, as if someone had revealed his thoughts...... (To be continued......)
