Yun Xi suddenly remembered something again, and said: "Xi Yang is also sixteen this year, I remember that you and Yi'er were worried about Xi Yang's marriage a year ago, and now there is a result?" ”

"Not yet." As soon as she heard Yun Xi mention this, Xi Yao frowned: "During the Chinese New Year, the twelfth aunt and concubine recommended her maiden niece, but I later asked the twelfth aunt to take her into the palace to take a look, and I felt that it was not suitable for Xi Yang, so I politely refused." ”

"In addition to her, my mother has also seen a lot of each other these days, but she is not very satisfied."

"Aunt Twelve's niece is Wu Zhong's daughter, what's the matter, isn't she a bad person?" Yoon-hee asked.

"It's not bad, it's just that Xiyang himself is a little hard, and the niece of the twelfth aunt also looks a little hard, and the concubine feels that it is not suitable for Xuyang."

"Oh," Yun Xi thought for a moment after listening to Xi Yao's words, and then said, "How about I promise to give Xi Yang a wife?" ”

"The woman that the husband likes must be good, whether it is the concubine or the concubine's parents, they must be satisfied. I don't know which woman Your Majesty has taken a fancy to? Xi Yao smiled.

"You should have seen it, Qi Tai's eldest daughter, it seems to be called Feng'er." Yun Xi said.

'Zitai's daughter? Xi Yao recalled her experience of being a queen in the past few years when she met with the women of foreign dynasties. Qi Tai's wife did bring her daughter to the palace to visit, but that was a few years ago, and Qi Tai's wife did not take her into the palace again in recent years. My impression of that little girl is very faint now.

At this time, Xiyi, who was sitting on the other side of Yunxi, suddenly said, "Qi Tai's daughter? Is it the girl you saw at the Lantern Festival on the Metaverse? ”

"Yes, that's her." Yun Xi suddenly understood. "You were still pregnant and didn't leave the palace during the Chinese New Year this year, I forgot that I took Xiyi out of the palace to see her." He said to Xi Yao.

Xi Yao didn't care about what Yun Xi said, and lowered her head to think about it. "Is it the girl you said after returning from the palace on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month that was saved by your father?" She said to Xiyi.

"That's the girl." Xiyi replied.

Xi Yao recalled what Xi Yi said to her at that time. At that time, Xiyi Ke praised Qi Tai's daughter, not only her, but even Yun Xi said that Qi Tai's eldest daughter was very well raised, and if any family married her, it would take a big advantage.

If it's just Yun Xi saying this, it may be that he is putting gold on the woman's face; But Xiyi said the same, and Xiyao believed that she was indeed good.

Originally, since Yun Xi had already spoken, she had no room to shirk; What's more, this woman named Hao'er has a good family background and her own tutor, Xiyao will not refuse, and said with a smile: "It seems that she is a good woman." The concubine is the younger brother of the concubine, thank you husband for being a good matchmaker. ”

"My husband doesn't do it himself." Yun Xi smiled: "My husband has found a very suitable matchmaker. ”

……

……

The next day, March 19, Qi Tai, who had been busy all day, returned to the mansion from the Hubu Yamen in a sedan chair. Recently, Yun Xi has made a lot of moths, in addition to preparing grain and grass in the northwest, it seems that he is also preparing for other things, he and several other officials in the Yamen in Beijing have increased their work a lot, and they are tired every day.

And when he entered the palace yesterday afternoon and this morning to meet Yun Xi, he always felt as if Yun Xi was looking at or examining him, which made him very puzzled and even more tired in his heart.

Qi Tai was very puzzled: 'Could it be that Your Majesty is going to adjust my position again?' But I didn't have any contradictions with anyone when I was in the household department, let alone make any mistakes, where do you want to transfer me? Sanqin? It is possible, but His Majesty clearly stated a few days ago that he had no idea of letting Zhao Haode move his position. ’

Qi Tai, who was puzzled, could only put down his thoughts and close his eyes in the sedan chair. After a while, the palanquin arrived at the mansion, and he got out of the palanquin and walked into his mansion.

Yu Minyue greeted him as usual, and he also smiled and talked to his wife; Several children in the family, including Qi Delong, the eldest son of the second brother Qi Jingzong, who had just come from his hometown, also came over to say hello, and Qi Tai asked them one by one what they had done at home today.

After a while, Yu Minyue came over again and said, "Xianggong, the meal is ready, is it time to eat?" ”

Qi Tai was about to answer, when suddenly his own doorman walked to the door of the living room and said to him, "Master, Master Chen from the military department is here." ”

"Brother Fuchu? What did he come to do? Qi Tai was a little surprised and said, "Please come in." ”

After a while, Chen Xingshan walked in and smiled at him, "Brother Shangli." ”

Although he was smiling, Qi Tai felt that his smile was a little reluctant, and his heart was strange, and he saluted: "Brother Fuchu." ”

He said again: "Brother Fuchu has already eaten? It just so happens that my family is going to have dinner, so let's come along. ”

"I have something to do later, so I won't eat at Brother Shangli's house. I came this time because Brother Monk Li said. Chen Xingshan said.

Qi Tai carefully observed his expression, and felt that it was not a bad thing, but it was not like a good thing, and he wondered even more in his heart, and said, "What is the matter?" ”

"I was entrusted to propose to Brother Shangli this time." Chen Xingshan said.

"Oh, whose son is it?" Qi Tai said. 'Can Chen Xingshan be a matchmaker, that is, an official above the third grade in Beijing, right? But a few days ago, my wife and I have already searched through the children of the promising and third-grade officials in Beijing, and there is no suitable one. It seems that he can only refuse. ’

He was thinking about it, when he heard Chen Xingshan say: "It is Xue Xiyang, the second son of Xue Ning, the governor of the Right Army Governor's Mansion and the Left Governor." ”

When Yun Xi was looking for a suitable person to be a matchmaker between Xue Ning and Qi Tai, the first thing that came to mind was Chen Xingshan. He has a good relationship with Qi Tai, and he is also a judge in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and he is also familiar with Xue Ning, so he can be a matchmaker.

"Who?" Qi Tai suspected that he had misheard.

"Xue Xiyang, the second son of Xue Ning, the governor of the right army, and Xue Ning, the governor of the left army." Chen Xingshan repeated it again.

Qi Tai stood up without any image, pointed at Chen Xingshan with his finger and said, "How can you be a matchmaker between me and a general!" Are you still a literati? I would never agree with it! He thought about many sons-in-law candidates, but never considered marrying his daughter to a military general.

Chen Xingshan's face changed a little when he said it, but he was not ashamed. He said: "Brother Shangli, the person I'm talking about is not a military general, but a literati. Xue Xiyang has just won the first test case of Ying Tianfu Academy, and he has three yuan in small and medium-sized schools. Brother Shangli, although you were in the Yingtianfu Township test to solve the yuan back then, you didn't have the third yuan in the middle and middle school. ”

"A literati?" Qi Tai was puzzled. Suddenly, he remembered that yesterday, when he and his colleagues had discussed a few words, this year's Tianfu Academy tried to solve the yuan. The reason why they talked about it a few times was, firstly, because this person was even a small and medium-sized three-yuan, and secondly, it was ......

"The person you're talking about, but the younger brother of the current queen?" Qi Tai said with some trembling.

"That's it. And Brother Shangli, let me tell you the truth, it was His Majesty who asked me to be a matchmaker. You can't shirk this marriage. Chen Xingshan said.

Qi Tai slumped into his chair and said nothing.

"Actually, Xue Xiyang is a good person and very motivated, I also went to read the test papers of his three exams today, and I made sure that his articles are also very good. So he's a good son-in-law. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have done it. Chen Xingshan said.

After a long time, Qi Tai eased up, tidied up his clothes, and said to Chen Xingshan: "Brother Fuchu, I know, you can go back." ”

Chen Xingshan stood up and said, "Brother Shangli, I came today to talk to you, and in two days, I will officially propose marriage on behalf of the Xue family as a matchmaker." Then he said a few more words and left the Qi Mansion.

When he left, Yu Minyue walked into the living room, let the subordinate take the lamp, and said, "Why didn't Xianggong leave him to eat?" Aren't you good friends? ”

As she was talking, the light had been lit, and she saw that Qi Tai's expression was a little strange, which was somewhat similar to Chen Xingshan's expression that she had just seen, and said, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

"Chen Xingshan proposed marriage on behalf of others, and the other party is Xue Xiyang, the queen's younger brother." Qi Tai said.

"It's the one who even has a small number of three yuan. By the way, their family also saved Feng'er during the Yuan Festival. Yu Minyue said thoughtfully.

"It's the one who even has a small three yuan. If you don't say that I forgot, their family did save Hao'er on the Yuan Festival. Qi Tai said.

"Isn't that good? Xianggong, why are you doing this expression? Yu Minyue's face was already filled with joy.

"How's it good?" Qi Tai was surprised.

"It's really good. The Xue family is rich and noble, and the daughter does not have to suffer if she marries in the past, unlike if she marries a poor official, she will suffer from poverty; ”

"We also met me on the Shangyuan Festival, I look pretty good;"

"I am willing to follow the text, I know that I am motivated to read, I have already won the show, and I am still a little three-yuan;"

"His family is from Yingtianfu, and it is not far from our hometown Lishui County, even if you visit relatives in the future;"

"I have also met his mother Wang, although she is not kind, but she must be a person who governs the family well, and her daughter does not have to worry about being wronged when she marries."

Yu Minyue listed the benefits of five daughters marrying into the Xue family at once.

Qi Tai was dumbfounded. In fact, he has already accepted Xue Xiyang as his son-in-law in his heart, just because he was born in a family of military generals, and his heart can't turn around for a while, so it's okay to take it slowly. But he looked at Yu Minyue, his face was full of joy, and he said that the benefits of his daughter's marriage to Xue Xiyang still can't be accepted.

After a while, Qi Tai said: "Chen Xingshan said that the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will officially propose, you can prepare." ”

"Well, I'll be well prepared." Yu Minyue said: "But let's eat first." She said as she asked the servants to call the children in for dinner.

While eating, Menzi came to the door of the living room again and said, "Master, madam, someone came to the palace just now, let Mrs. take the eldest lady into the palace on the first day of the first month of next month to meet the queen." ”

"Got it, you stand down." Qi Tai said.

"Father, mother, why did the queen suddenly summon her daughter?" Feng'er asked strangely.

Yu Minyue said: "Eat first, and when you finish eating, my mother will tell you." ”
