"The gentleman's concerns, and the lady also knows, is that she is unwilling to let the girl get caught in the battle for the heir. But looking at the capital, whether it is a noble family or a minister of the DPRK and China, how many have nothing to do with factional disputes? Even if it doesn't matter now, who can guarantee that they won't be involved tomorrow? Instead of this, it is better to let the girl marry the prince directly. ”

"Among the many princes, only King Qi has no intention of seizing the heir. The girl's champion was appointed by the emperor, and the official was also sealed by the emperor. She married the prince of Qi, and the concubine didn't want to let the girl be an official. For this alone, Madame felt that she was better than all the people in Beijing. ”

"What kind of parents-in-law and husbands in Beijing are willing to let women come out to be officials? The ambition of a partial girl is different from that of other women, she is unwilling to stay at home to have children and wait for her husband. Even if he is willing, he is not as good as a wife as a husband, will he keep taking concubines to show his status? ”

"Of course, Sir is not only the girl's master, but also the other three apprentices, for their sake. However, my wife said that my brother and sister are no better than my own brothers and sisters, and they can be completely unaffected by each other. Even if the girl marries the King of Qi, Wu Huaisi and the other three adults can still stick to their political positions as before. ”

Kang Shilin listened to Liu Quan's words and was silent for a long time.

I have to say that he was moved by Zhu's last two words.

He tried to put aside the influence of the Zhu family and thought about the feasibility of letting Zhao Ruxi marry Xiao Lingyan. In other words, if Zhao Ruxi does not marry Xiao Lingyan, who else in the capital can let the little apprentice marry.

As a result, he sadly found that he really couldn't find one who could make Zhao Ruxi marry.

There are indeed some people in the capital who do not stand in line, such as Peng Guoan. But these people all live together in a big family, and although they do not participate in the succession, there are many conflicts in the family. Zhao Ruxi got married, so she could only stay at home honestly, have children, and wait for her husband. If you want to come out and be an official, you can hardly do it.

Not to mention Zhao Ruxi's lofty ambitions, let's just say that with her talent and learning, if she is locked up at home by her in-laws and only used as a tool to give birth to a child, he will have to be angry to death as a master.

In addition, Zhao Ruxi married Xiao Lingyan. As long as Wu Huaisi and others have always chosen neutrality in several events that have occurred in the future, everyone knows that they have not been affected by this marriage.

Senior brothers and sisters are not brothers and sisters, and they are not within the Nine Clans. It is entirely feasible for everyone to stick to their own political positions. Presumably, the crown prince, the third and fourth princes are also happy to see their attitude, and will not force them into the faction of the second and fifth princes.

In this way, the impact is really not as big as imagined.

He raised his head and looked at Liu Quan scrutinically: "Did your wife say these words, or did your girl say them?" ”

If Zhao Ruxi taught Liu Quan what he said, then he would have to re-examine his little apprentice.

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't wait to swear with a curse: "It's true that my wife said it." The girl said she wasn't sure what she was up to, and that she had to ask your opinion. The villain had not read the letter she had written, and did not know what the girl had said in the letter. The villain swears! If the villain lies, the sky will thunder and thunder, and he will not die well. ”

Kang Shilin just asked casually. After getting along for so long, he thinks that he can still see the conduct of his little apprentice.

Seeing that Liu Quan was in a hurry at this time, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I believe in you." It is extraordinary to be able to raise a child like your girl, and it is extraordinary to think that your wife is not without political acumen. ”

Liu Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

Kang Shilin said again: "I understand what your wife means. Don't worry, if the emperor asks me about this family matter, I won't stop it. ”

Liu Quan saluted Kang Shilin: "The villain thanks Mr. for my wife." ”

He got up and said to Kang Shilin: "My girl wrote a letter to ask you about it. Do you think you write a letter back to her, or do you ask the villain to tell her? ”

Kang Shilin said: "You have to go back to Nanyang tomorrow, right?" Come back to me to get the letter before you leave. This is a very important matter, and if you take the letter back to Bofu and it is known that there is an errand, it will be a troublemaker. ”

"Yes, or is the gentleman thoughtful. Sir, don't worry, my wife told the villain, don't say a word about this matter except you. Liu Quan hurriedly said.

Kang Shilin bowed his head with satisfaction: "That's good." Okay, you go back. Come back to me tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes, the villain is retiring."

Liu Quan bowed, and just as he wanted to withdraw, he saw someone shouting outside the door: "Old lady, the father-in-law in the palace is here, and the emperor announced that you will enter the palace to dine with him." ”

Liu Quan was stunned and looked at Kang Shilin.

Kang Shilin stood up: "Maybe it's your girl's family." Don't worry, I know what your wife means. If the emperor is sincere, I will do as your wife wishes. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Kang Shilin took a sedan chair to the palace, and went to the palace where Xiao Qi usually stayed, and saw that the wine and food had been prepared on the table, waiting for him.

"Uncle Cousin, sit down." Xiao Qi didn't wait for him to salute, so he stepped forward with a red face and personally helped him up and motioned for him to sit down.

Gonggong Zhang brought the wine jug up and poured a glass of wine for Kang Shilin.

Kang Shilin sat down and looked at Xiao Qi with a puzzled gaze.

He is good at drinking, Xiao Qi knows. Usually the two of them eat, but Xiao Qi never persuaded him to drink. Today this is an unusual move. Don't you really want to propose to Zhao Ruxi for Xiao Wu?

Xiao Qi raised his wine glass and said to Kang Shilin: "Uncle Cousin, I have to toast you today, because I want to ask your little apprentice for my little five, and you have to agree." ”

"W-What?" Kang Shilin looked surprised.

"Haha." Thinking of Zhao Ruxi's appearance when his junior five came back, Xiao Qi was extremely happy, "You don't know, I was a ...... before."

He told Xiao Lingyan about the excerpt he received the day before yesterday, and then he told Xiao Lingyan about Zhao Ruxi and Xiao Lingyan going to Nanyang.

"That kid came back to me and told me that he felt that he had dragged on until eighteen and had not decided on his marriage, so he should be waiting for me to mention Zhao Zhiwei. He said that Zhao Zhiwei's appearance, temperament, and her paintings and calligraphy were very much in line with him, so he immediately expressed his intention to marry Zhiwei. He felt that Zhao Zhiwei also had a good impression of him. It's just that she didn't allow it at the time, saying that she would discuss it with her elders, especially if she wanted your consent. ”

He raised his glass again: "So I have come to ask you for my son." ”

Kang Shilin picked up the wine glass and touched it with Xiao Qi, took a sip, and put the wine glass down.

Kang An came forward to give Kang Shilin vegetables as early as when he clinked glasses. Kang Shilin took a chopstick dish and pressed the wine in his mouth.
