"How's it going, are the results out?" Cao Song saw Zhao Yan coming out of the palace gate, and immediately jumped out of the carriage and ran forward to ask, his face was full of uneasy looks, the spare candidates for several horses that were selected yesterday were sent to the palace, and they were approved by Zhao Shu and his wife and Empress Dowager Cao, it would have taken a few days to have a result, but Cao Song couldn't wait, and forced Zhao Yan to enter the palace to find out the news.

"Come out, you...... Alas~" Zhao Yan looked at Cao Song with a regretful look at this time, shook his head and said.

"How so? Didn't I get chosen? Cao Song asked with a look of disappointment and puzzlement at this time, it is said that among the few people sent to the palace this time, his conditions are the most outstanding, and with the support of the Empress Dowager Cao, it stands to reason that there should be no one who can take him down?

"Hahahaha~" Just when Cao Song was disappointed or even desperate, he didn't expect Zhao Yan to let out a burst of hearty laughter, and then patted Cao Song's shoulder and said, "Stupid, I lied to you, and you don't want to think about what kind of goods those who were selected with you are, how could they be chosen by your father?" ”

Zhao Yan's words are not to praise Cao Song, but it is true, speaking of Princess Shoukang's reputation is actually not very good, mainly because she is usually in a hurry, and she doesn't look like a good wife and mother at all, so when many nobles heard that Princess Shoukang was going to recruit a horse, they only sent some really unsuccessful guys in the family as backup candidates for the horse, which was similar to the previous Cao Song, but with Cao Song's talent and reputation now, it is many times more than them.

"Three...... Third brother, do you mean that I have been chosen? Cao Song didn't show the sarcasm of other people in Zhao Yan's words at all, but asked with an ecstatic face.

"Yes, you were chosen, and that's to be expected." Zhao Yan said with a smile at the moment, originally he was a little worried about the matter between Princess Shoukang and Cao Song. But when the dust settled, he put down the worries in his heart, and there was only unintentional blessings left for their upcoming marriage.

"Haha~, great! I've chosen! When Cao Song heard Zhao Yan's affirmative answer, he couldn't help but open his eyes and shouted with ecstasy on his face. Fortunately, the guards in front of the palace gate all knew them, otherwise they would have to be punished for the crime of making a noise at the palace gate.

"Okay, it's not too late to be happy until the wedding day, you have to treat you today, I just want to eat roast duck, let's go to your third sister's roast duck shop!" Zhao Yan interrupted the ecstatic Cao Song at the moment, the roast duck shop is a joint venture between him and Hu Yanping and his wife, and the store specializes in roast duck and some duck dishes, although the dishes are a little few. However, it is important to specialize, so it quickly became famous in the capital and became one of the famous foods in Tokyo.

"Okay, anyway, the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders, speaking of which, Brother Huyan seems to have come out of the military academy today, let's call him to celebrate together." Cao Song said very happily at this time, he used to like Princess Shoukang, but because of his own reputation. If you want to marry her, you can only satisfy it in your dreams, but I didn't expect that it would only be a few years. His dream came true, which made him wonder if he was still dreaming?

At that moment, Zhao Yan and Cao Song came to Huyanping's house together, and found that he was really at home, talking about his illness after the joint diagnosis and treatment of Zhilugu and Cao Tong, and finally it took a full year to finally recover, and he no longer died at every turn like before. As a result, after he recovered from his illness, he went to the military academy as soon as possible, and it was difficult to see him again from then on, it happened that this time it was a military school holiday, so Hu Yanping could return home.

Isolated news from the outside world in the military school. So Hu Yanping didn't know about Princess Shoukang's choice of horses in advance, but he knew that Cao Song liked Princess Shoukang, and now he heard that Cao Song was almost designated as Princess Shoukang's concubine, which made him happy for Cao Song.

"Brother Jiu'er, your kid has finally gotten what he wants, but you also know Princess Shoukang's temperament, don't do anything sorry for her after marriage, otherwise you don't have to do it with the third brother, Princess Shoukang herself can abolish you." Hu Yanping drank a few glasses of wine, and said to Cao Song with a smile at the moment, in fact, his wife's personality is also famous for her toughness, she has been married for so many years, he has also been managed to death, and now seeing Cao Song also marry a strong wife, this makes him feel a sense of schadenfreude.

"Go, do you think I'll be like that, my feelings for the princess are proven by the sun and the moon, and it is already my greatest happiness to be able to stay with the princess for a lifetime in this life, where will I look at other women?" Cao Song heard this, but it was very sensual.

"Of course you said so before you got married, but after a few years of marriage, you will slowly find out the troubles after marriage, if you don't believe it, you can ask the third brother, we are all from here." Hu Yanping retorted again at this time, saying that after the problem in his brain was cured, his IQ seemed to have been greatly improved, and sometimes he would even say some very philosophical words.

"Haha, I remember someone once said that marriage is like a besieged city, people outside the city want to go in, and people inside the city want to get out. Some people have said that marriage is the grave of love, but these words are a bit biased, marriage is not so terrible, as long as you put your mind right, slowly manage your marriage, you will find a lot of fun from it. Zhao Yan shook his head at this time and smiled, these are his own summaries of his married life, and now suing Cao Song can be regarded as a special gift to him.

"Look, the third brother still speaks at a high level, think about the two of them living together after marriage, and you can have someone to discuss anything you encounter, this kind of life is really desirable, I can't wait to marry the princess now!" Cao Song also laughed loudly at this time, he may not be able to understand Zhao Yan's words, after all, people who have not experienced marriage are really difficult to understand the various subtle feelings in marriage.

However, Hu Yanping was a person who came over, and when he heard Zhao Yan's words, he nodded in agreement, and then suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but say at the moment: "By the way, Brother Jiu'er is about to become a colt, but he is still in charge of the bank in his hands. ”

Hearing Hu Yanping's worry, Cao Song couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Zhao Yan, and his eyes also showed a worried look, speaking of which, with the expansion of the bank, the influence of the bank is also increasing, especially in terms of finance, it can be compared with the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty, so many people call the bank the second treasury of the Great Song Dynasty, Cao Song is in charge of the bank, which can be compared with the three envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, and the horses of the Great Song Dynasty have always been far away from the government, so Hu Yanping asked so.

"No, the bank is not from the imperial court, but by me, my eldest brother and the Cao family, although the role of the bank is special, but its essence is still a money-making commercial institution, so you don't have to worry about Brother Jiu'er!" Zhao Yan waved his hand at this time and said decisively, he had never handed over such an important thing as the bank to others, so as long as he was in one day, Cao Song could rest assured that he would be the president of the bank for one day.

"I'm relieved to have the words of the third brother, but if there is a conflict between marrying a princess and being in charge of the bank, I would rather give up the bank than marry the princess!" Cao Song said again at this time, and when he said the end, his face also showed a firm look, he was not reluctant to bank, but the bank was established by him and Zhao Yan little by little, if he suddenly let him give up the bank, he would definitely feel a little unwilling in his heart.

Zhao Yan and the three of them finally got together, and met Cao Song was elected as a concubine, so the three of them were also very interested, and they drank a few more glasses unconsciously, Zhao Yan's alcohol was not bad, and in the end there was only half of the drunkenness, but Hu Yanping and Cao Song were drunk, lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, and they couldn't help them, and finally Zhao Yan could only call the guards to carry them into the carriage and send them home.

At this time, it was just afternoon, although Zhao Yan was not drunk, but he was also a little sleepy, so after sending Cao Song and Hu Yanping, he went straight home, but when he broke into the inner house with a drunken body, he was suddenly not sleepy, so he simply went to find a few children to play, but he didn't expect Siyue that when they saw him, they all said that he was "stinky", which made Zhao Yan a little depressed, so he had to take a bath again, which made Siyue and they no longer dislike him.

Accompanying Siyue and them to play in the garden until dusk, several little guys were all covered in mud, Cao Ying and Xue Ning'er saw the situation of Zhao Yan and a few children, and they couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker, and then asked the nurse to take the children back to take a bath and change clothes, and prepare for dinner.

"Lady, have you packed up the third sister's things?" Watching a few children leave, Zhao Yan smiled and asked Cao Ying, Princess Shoukang usually lives with him, but now she is about to get married, so she naturally wants to move back to the palace.

"It's almost cleaned up, and today the Queen Mother and the Queen sent someone to urge her, so the third sister will go back to the palace first, and just send someone to send things over tomorrow." Cao Ying also replied with a smile, she also knew that Cao Song was selected as a colt, which made her very happy about it.

"That's good, the third sister is finally getting married!" Zhao Yan also said with emotion at this time, he was really worried that Princess Shoukang would not be able to get married, but fortunately, there was Cao Song, a person with different tastes.

However, Cao Ying suddenly thought of something at this time, and after thinking about it for a while, she finally said with a solemn face: "Husband, I have something I want to tell you, it is about the second sister!" (To be continued......)
