Chapter 219: Cause
After Xiao Yao successfully got rid of Xiao Rui and Xiao Yuan, the brothers and sisters who pinched each other as soon as they met at the gate, she played with her little nephews for a whole hour, and put them to sleep before returning to the distant building.
Looking at her daughter's graceful back, Tong Mingyu sighed with a long sigh in a complicated mood.
"If I had such a wonderful daughter as Ping An, I wouldn't sigh! As long as she dresses up beautifully every day, any worries will dissipate. Li Jiaoying didn't understand why her sister-in-law was worried, she only heard that some people were too upset about their daughters, and she hadn't heard of a girl like Ping An who was worried.
"Brother and sister, you don't know anything! The palace of Qijun has sent several waves of matchmakers over, and yesterday I made a special trip to find my mother-in-law to lobby, I saw that my mother-in-law was a little moved, if it wasn't for the fear that my father-in-law would not allow it, her old man might have agreed to come down! ”
"I can't say anything about marrying Ping'an to that kid, there are already many concubines in the backyard at a young age, and I dare to say everywhere that it's just because those people look a little like Ping'an, he will take them back first, and he will send people away as soon as Ping'an enters the door. Phew! As if someone likes him, we would rather raise her for the rest of our lives than let her marry this kind of pervert. ”
mentioned Yuncan Li Jiaoying was really full of resentment to vent, and he had never seen such a person chasing his baby safely, and carrying people into the house one after another. People who feel sorry for their daughter won't look down on this kind of person!
"But, mother-in-law ......," Tong Mingyu said embarrassedly.
"With your father-in-law here, you don't have to worry about it at all, anyway, the eldest brother, has their plan to choose a son-in-law progress! After four or five years of picking, is there not a single candidate who is more satisfied? ”
"It's easier said than done!" Tong Mingyu thought about it for a moment, and replied weakly while shaking his head. There are some things that she always thinks are weird, but she can't say anything wrong. Since the family has a plan to recruit a son-in-law for Ping An and Ruyi, the selection has not stopped, and a few good boys were just selected the year before last, and King Jing's Mansion selected people away in the name of recruiting more guards.
Those who had promised that their children would not regret it once they were selected, found various reasons to quit in order for their sons to have a better future. scolded his father-in-law and husband angrily for being villains, and King Jing also said that a person who can't be relied on for a small test, do you still expect him to take care of peace in the future?
Now my father-in-law and husband are paying attention to this spring, hoping to find two people who are educated, even if they are poor, as long as they have good character. Just after this spring, their father and son were busy.
Tong Mingyu actually likes Tang Hao, he is well-educated and educated, the only drawback is that his home is far away, and if he marries his daughter, he may never see each other again in his life.
Tang Hao really fulfilled his promise, was admitted to the Guozijian last spring, and developed into friends with Xiao Yang, and occasionally visited Xiao's house.
The Xiao family had a good impression of him, and after a long time, everyone slowly discovered that his purpose was not pure, was this guy clearly coming for Xiao Yao!
Xiao Yang went down to question him angrily, but he didn't expect him to admit it very simply, and there was no superfluous explanation at all.
"Since the first time I saw Ling Mei, I decided that she would not marry, and the reason why I entered Kyoto was to be closer to her." Tang Hao looked at his friend's iron-blue face, ready to be beaten violently.
"Our family will not agree to marry Ping'an to Jiangnan." Do you want to dig into the hearts of the Xiao family? My grandfather and father would not agree to anything.
"This point, after I came to Beijing to meet your family, I understood that my family would not agree to anything as a son-in-law. I can ask for a place closer to Kyoto to take office after the release of the list, just like the third uncle did in Songjiang back then, or I can send your sister back to live every few days. ”
It is not your Tang family who is responsible for accepting the fate, why should you listen to your arrangement, Xiao Yang couldn't help but scold.
"That's not good, you have to go back to Jiangnan sooner or later, we don't have to worry about going to such a far place alone." Xiao Yang still refused to let go, he didn't have this right, and he didn't want to agree.
"The promises of what I do now are empty words, but I still have to say that I will definitely treat your sister well in this life and marry her alone."
Xiao Yang still refused to nod, he could still take a concubine after marrying a daughter-in-law! This does not conflict with what he just said, as soon as the man of the Xiao family meets Xiao Yao, he is very serious, and he is not allowed to have a little omission.
"I hope to win your friend to be on my side, it doesn't seem easy!" Although he was very anxious, Tang Hao understood that this matter could only be done slowly, and could not be rushed.
His patience is much better than six years ago, even if he is rejected by his friends, even if the Xiao family's defense against him has been strengthened, it still does not stop him from going to the Xiao family and pursuing Xiao Yao's determination.
Thinking of this, Tong Mingyu sighed again, she had a premonition that her daughter would be the most troublesome in marriage among the four children in the family. As long as the second son is admitted to the famous marriage this time, he will not be separated from ten, but the identity of the other party and his mother-in-law are a little disgusted, but some others are extremely agreeable.
This Shangguan Yuhan is a young lady from a declining family, with good medical skills, and opened a Shou'an Hall in order to make a living. Xiao Yang met Shangguan Yuhan when he sent an injured classmate to the hospital, and gradually he fell in love with this girl who was weak on the outside but strong on the inside.
After the Qin family knew about it, they resolutely objected, why did the grandson who was most likely to get ahead in the family marry a female doctor, and Tong Mingyu was not optimistic about this family matter. Xiao Yao pretended to be a medicine buyer and Shangguan Yuhan was the first to stand on the side of the third brother after a few contacts, I have to say that her influence is great in the Xiao family, and after her, the old marquis and Xiao Jingkang slowly changed their attitudes.
Tong Mingyu, who knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, had long wanted to propose marriage, but Xiao Yang himself said that it would not be too late to mention it after he had fame, so everyone is now waiting for the day of the release of the list, Xiao Yang is waiting for the meritorious name to propose marriage, Tang Hao is waiting for the fame to visit Xiao's family after being famous, and by the way, he will explore the tone of the Xiao family.
In the imperial study, the emperor and King Jing are also evaluating the candidates of this year.
"There are a few really good, the most surprising thing to me is the grandson of Old Marquis Xiao, I didn't expect them to be a military general, and there are people with such good learning." The emperor felt that he had underestimated the Xiao family before.
"This Tang Hao is better." King Jing took Tang Hao's answer sheet and looked at it repeatedly, and said pertinently, this person is his son's number one rival in love, and he can be said to be no worse than his son except for one identity.
"Oh! Is it? Ruoxian hasn't chosen a suitable husband yet, if he's really good, I'll send someone to check it out, and then let them meet, if Ruoxian has no opinion, the seven horses are him. The emperor was very worried about his delicate little daughter, and he looked forward to someone taking over to him as soon as possible to live the rest of his fearful days.
King Jing's expression lit up instantly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his brows tightened, did he push the Tang family kid into the fire pit?
King Jing originally wanted to remind the emperor that Tang Hao was a talent and should be sent to the places where he was needed most, such as the north, such as going back to the south. There is no way, the son does not want to marry someone else, and he is not in Kyoto, so he can only shoot again and again, lest the prospective daughter-in-law be snatched away, the matter of recruiting guards last time and the matter of recommending Tang Hao this time are all methods that he has no choice but to come up with.
Now that his son is back, it depends on him what he wants in the future, if he still hesitates, he has no choice, and he will not help again.
"Isn't there a Qionglin banquet after the palace test? Ah Chen has also returned to Beijing, let the queen invite some more ladies, and let's strive to complete a few more pairs of young people at this banquet.
Why don't you announce to the public that anyone who succeeds in a blind date at this banquet will give me a marriage? "I don't know if it's because in recent years, the princes and princesses have reached the age when they should get married, the emperor now likes to be a matchmaker, and every year there will be a will to give marriage, and every year in the palace or in the garden will hold various forms of banquets, but unfortunately these banquets always lack highlights, and later everyone summed up the reason.
The man is not in Kyoto, and the Nine Emperors will not come to attend if they get married, and the emperor's sons who have not yet married are not old, and they are not yet old enough to attend this kind of gathering.
Xiao Yao never came forward on the young ladies' side, and on some occasions when she had to send out girls, Xiao Yuan would come alone, and the county lord of Yi'an never appeared, and the "Kyoto Four Beauties" and "First Talented Girl" selected among the rest of the people were not convincing at all, and everyone didn't say it, and they refused to admit such a result in their hearts.
"Since the emperor has this intention, he ordered all the sons and ladies to be present, and the mourning family heard that now the banquet in our palace is rumoring that the banquet in our palace is becoming more and more unworthy of the name, what the first beauty refuses to appreciate the light, and there are no outstanding characters among the royal children. This time, let them all attend, and the mourning family really wanted to see how beautiful the first beauty was. ”
Empress Dowager Han walked in from the outside with a dignified demeanor, she came today to ask the emperor to give the first beauty of the Xiao family to the grandson in the Korean mansion, this kid has never forgotten since the last time Yun Yichen and they returned to Beijing to see Xiao Yao at the window of the restaurant. It's not enough to make trouble at home, after inviting a matchmaker and being rejected by the Xiao family, he actually found the Queen Mother to cry.
He spread rumors that the Xiao family saw that the Korean government was different from the past, and he actually moved out of the excuse of recruiting a son-in-law for his granddaughter and refused to let Xiao Yao marry him, and also said that the old marquis Xiao disliked him for not being capable, and his tone was contemptuous and unkind.
If you want to say what the Empress Dowager Han cares about most now, it is that some people blatantly dislike the Han family, and later she also thought that the reason why the Han family was caught by her son was probably inseparable from the Xiao family's father and son.
Empress Dowager Han wanted to take this opportunity to give the Xiao family a good dismissal.
Why is a thirteen-year-old yellow-haired little girl more famous than the royal princess and Miss Han, and doesn't the grandson of my brother's family really want to marry that girl? I took the opportunity to fulfill him, and she felt good when she entered the Han family, and no one would care if the fresh and tender beauty was tempered for a few years.
"The Qionglin banquet is specially held for new jinshi, listen to how you mean it is like a blind date, if you want to hold such a banquet, you can only another day."
Looking at the queen mother's meaning, this is to target the future daughter-in-law, then it has to be, King Jing hurriedly said something to stop it.
