Everyone turned pale, and they did not speak again.

Qin Niang saw that all the people here were her own people, so she immediately didn't hide it, and gave them a thorough explanation: "It is said that the border pass has been confronting Miao Jiang for a long time before, and the third prince has plans to defeat Miao Jiang. ”

This kind of thing is generally unknown to women in the house, so as soon as Qin Niang's words came out, several people present were stunned, especially Song Ru, who was in the palace, and she didn't get such news.

"Sister Qin, is your news reliable?" Song Ru asked.

"Fourth princess, I also learned by accident, it is said that His Royal Highness has always wanted to conquer Miao Jiang, after all, such a country that is not small but really has some evil sects has been afraid of it for a long time, if it can be defeated, a large number of officials and scholars will definitely be sent from here to govern and educate."

In this way, the conditions that Li Mu wants to negotiate with the royal family do not seem to be so difficult to guess.

"Are you saying that if Lord Li invites himself to go to Miaojiang, then the father should agree to give his son a marriage?" Song Ru is not stupid, Qin Niang only mentioned one point, and she immediately thought of the key point.

Miao Jiang's side is naturally not as rich as the capital, with wide connections, and besides, being an official at the feet of the Son of Heaven is naturally a promising thing.

Presumably, once Miao Jiang really fights down, he will send someone over there, I'm afraid that many people will not be happy.

After all, not to mention the long distance, the land is still barren, the climate is not as good as the capital, and many scholars regard it as a barbarian land and may not want to go there.

If Li Mu asks for a quota, His Majesty will consider it.

"But the battle hasn't been fought yet! How did Your Majesty know that we were going to win? Isn't it too early to start planning for future governance? Fang Yanyan saw that everyone was contemplative, and couldn't help but interrupt.

"No, if the imperial brother had told his father about this idea, he would definitely be able to fight it." Song Ru said firmly.

No one knows Song Yu's ability better than her, who is a younger sister, and now that she has gone to the border pass, she is an eagle released from the cage, and he will never turn back if he doesn't catch some prey.

"I think that His Royal Highness has already reported his plan and Dazhi's thoughts to His Majesty, so His Majesty has such information that he is now planning for future governance issues." Qin Niang lowered her eyes and looked at the mist in the teacup, and a touch of perseverance flashed in her eyes.

In her opinion, the current policy of governing the country is too conservative, and it is a good Ming monarch to be able to hold this territory from being invaded by foreign enemies.

But when Gu Chen excitedly told her after receiving the secret report that they might still include Miao Jiang in the territory, she couldn't believe her ears.

"If it's an ironclad thing, then it's really time to plan who to send." Fang Yuanyuan nodded and sighed, "My ex-father-in-law is really clever enough, no wonder he can make the parents of this capital so secure, presumably this news was only revealed in a few important ministers of the cabinet, and somehow it was known by Li Mu, if he invited himself to go to Miaojiang, then his father would really be able to agree." ”

As for who to marry, it depends on the emperor's considerations.

Li Yifan is Li Mu's eldest son, even if he was a little ridiculous, he still hopes that he can correct him in time and support the Li family in the future.

It's really well-intentioned.

"Since you have all been thoroughly informed today, then if you haven't made a marriage contract yet, you should also take a good look at each other, in case you are really selected by Lord Li, see how happy you are." Qin Niang put down the teacup and said gloatingly.

"He Li Yifan dared to marry me, and I chopped him up in the middle of the night." Fang Yanyan waved his fist and said indignantly, "As for Li Yifan's weak chicken, it must not be too difficult to crush him." ”

Mu Zhinian rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "You better rest for a while, if Your Majesty really gives you a marriage, you must not dare." ”

Fang Yanyan pursed his mouth: "Can't I think about it?" ”

Everyone threw disdainful glances at her in unison.

"Okay, don't think about it, presumably Li Mu doesn't have the face to propose to our Fang family again, in my opinion, you who don't have a marriage are dangerous." Fang Yuanyuan waved his hand, stopping a group of people from thinking nonsense.

"Anyway, my father won't want to give him the princess Li Yifan." Song Ru muttered, it shouldn't be her turn left and right, she still has a sister who is not married.

Song Ru comforted herself like this.

So, everyone's eyes turned to Mu Zhixin in unison.

Mu Zhixin was so frightened that she almost jumped up from her chair: "What are you all watching me do?" Could it be that our Cheng'an Houfu looks very easy to bully? ”

Just like him Li Yifan, do you really dare to marry the girl from their Cheng'an Houfu?

The crowd was silent.

It seems to be the same.

Although Li Mu said that he was not very talented, and the son he gave birth to was like this, but at least he had to find someone that their Li family could control, like Cheng'an Houfu, who had both military power and holy grace, if he really dared to marry the daughter of the Mu family, maybe he would have to offer it like an ancestor.

Why?

Thinking like this, several people sitting there were silently relieved.

If they were Li Mu, they would definitely not look for a high door, there is a way, bow your head to marry your daughter-in-law, raise your head to marry your daughter, the woman's family background is too good, they will not be easy to train.

"I heard that the Rongguo Houfu will marry the county lord of Minghua next month." I don't know how long it took, Fang Yuanyuan suddenly said this.

Everyone's hearts, which were a little gloomy because of the Li family, immediately came alive again when they heard this.

"So fast?" Song Ru, as the daughter of the royal family, is also a cousin with the county lord of Minghua, she has never heard of such a thing.

"I also listened to what my mother said, my mother went to attend the birthday banquet of Princess Lejun two days ago, and I heard what those women said during the banquet, it is said that the Ministry of Rites has even finished the dowry." Fang Yuanyuan picked up a piece of dim sum, put it in his mouth, and said vaguely.

"That's too much of a rush, isn't it?" Mu Zhixin smacked his tongue and said.

They don't have ordinary people marrying their daughters like this, and it's only been a long time since the marriage was set, and the dowry hasn't been prepared.

"This is understandable, after all, Miss Wen has been carried into the door two days ago, and the concubines have all entered the door, so the main room naturally has to speed up its pace, otherwise, it will not be good if Mr. Wen accidentally comes out with an eldest son." Fang Yuanyuan said, "Moreover, the Gao family has been copied, where is there anyone to prepare a dowry for her?" Now that her parents are not in Beijing, she lives alone in the county lord's mansion, and the one who can make up her mind is the old queen mother in the palace. ”

Speaking of which, it's really miserable!

Therefore, the dowry was prepared by the Ministry of Rites, and it was naturally impossible for the Ministry of Rites to prepare too luxurious for her, but she was also the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, so according to the specifications of the average princess, the Queen Mother would not have any opinions.

Besides, if something like that happened, the Queen Mother and her old people felt ashamed, and they wished they had married her off earlier, so as to save the reputation of the royal family.

"Grandmother hasn't seen her much lately, and she seems to be quite pitiful." Song Ru sighed.

"Poor people must have something to hate, last time at the door of the teahouse, she still wanted to kill Sister Qin." Fang Yuanyuan didn't sympathize with her for a while, "If there is a next time, I will definitely send her to see the official, I want to see if Your Majesty wants to take care of her at that time." ”

Now the emperor obviously doesn't want to care about her very much, if she is restless and troublesome, it is useless for the queen mother to intercede.

As far as the emperor is concerned, whoever damages the majesty and reputation of the royal family, even if it is his own son, will not be soft, let alone a niece.

"She wants to kill Sister Qin? What's going on? We've never heard of that. Mu Zhixin gossiped, grabbed Fang Yuanyuan's hand and asked her to explain in detail.

So, Fang Yuanyuan told the situation of that day in a few words, and everyone couldn't help but sigh, didn't the county lord of Minghua have a hole in his brain?

Obviously, she was the first to do the wrong, but she was exposed, and she dared to blame others!

"Forget it, don't talk about these unhappy people, I just brought back the tea from Beizhuang, I heard that Sister Qin's tea making skills are a must, it's better to let her come and cook it for us a few times, and after a while you can guess when the tea was picked, how it was made, and what special bead effect it has, if you guess right, I will give you a big bag." Fang Yuanyuan is used to being good at adjusting the atmosphere, and everyone was brought to the tea leaves by her in a few words.

So, a few people sat around the long table, and Qin Niang occupied the main seat of making tea, took out the tea leaves taken out by Fang Yuanyuan, and put them in the pot.

The small red clay stove at hand was burning, and the copper kettle on it soon began to spew.

Everyone stared at Qin Niang's hand intently, only to feel that her operation was extremely beautiful, and after a while, the fragrance of tea spread.

"Sister Qin, as far as your skill in making tea, you can be invited to be the host of the Hundred Flowers Meeting, the Hairpin Banquet or something in the future, just smelling this smell will be fragrant." Song Ru watched Qin Niang make tea for the first time, and her eyes were reluctant to move, "There are no better looks than you in the palace." ”

Qin Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm just fancy in action, where can I compare with those grandmothers in the palace." ”

Each person poured a cup of tea, and several people couldn't wait to pick up the cup, put it to their nose and smell it, and then took a sip.

The mouth is full of tea fragrance, sweet in the throat, and fragrant between the teeth.

"This is Biluochun before the rain, right?" Mu Zhixin said.

"But I don't think it's just Biluochun." Song Ru said, took another sip into her mouth, and tasted it carefully, "It seems that there is still a fragrance of flowers." ”

Fang Yuanyuan smiled: "The fourth princess really drank good things, and she drank it as soon as she drank it." ”

When everyone heard this, they took a few more sips.

At this time, Fang Yuanyuan's eldest maid picked up the curtain and came in to report: "Miss, the cousin of my aunt's family is here, saying that he is here to look for you." ”

Fang Yuanyuan's eyes widened: "Looking for me? ”
