Probably seeing that Huilan was a little sullen, Ma took the initiative to stay, her dormitory was still kept for her, and the original old slaves were cleaning up regularly, and Ma occasionally came back to live for a few days.

After the end of the New Year, Ma came to Huilan to laugh, and saw that she was looking at a bunch of lists and portraits, and couldn't help asking: "Are you choosing a concubine for Brother Qian?" Haven't you decided on a candidate yet? ”

"No, the concubine is decided, it is estimated that the decree will be made in a few days, I choose the side concubine, and the emperor must let me choose one. Can you help me see which one to choose? ”

"Do you want the general's house?"

"Well, that's what it means, originally the emperor also said that he would choose another girl from a civil official family, two side concubines, I resigned, what do you want so many women to do, make a fuss."

"Hey! Sooner or later, the tilt of the court's strength, the more you value it, the more you want to get married, come and see, this is the girl of the Wang family, this is the girl of the Yan family, I saw this once in a trance, at the New Year's banquet, the girl was cautious, and her personality was not too cheerful.

This is the girl of the Xu family, the child of General Xu's family, with a cheerful personality and a smile, I have seen it at the New Year's banquet, and her popularity is also good, so she looks more pleasing. ”

"Oh, General Xu's family, then stay, let me ask the emperor what kind of charter?"

General Xu's family is more valued, so Huilan also kept her head and asked Li Chengze what he meant.

"Concubine or something?"

Ma Shi looked at the portrait and asked.

"Don't want it for the time being, I still hope that my wife can respect my brother and get along well, after all, my wife can help my brother, and she won't have too many scruples, it's not good to have too many concubines, is there always selfishness."

"You're right, but not necessarily as you want."

Ma shook his head.

"Hey! I also know that it may not be as I wish, but I always have to think a little more for him, isn't it too pitiful to be alone? ”

Huilan sighed, she was very worried about Brother Qian, he was colder than Li Chengze, probably because he had lived a happier life since he was a child.

Li Chengze lacks warmth, it is not surprising that he can be attracted by Huilan, but there is no shortage of brothers, he is also a very favored child who is valued when he is young, and he is the eldest son of Huilan.

If you want to attract him and make him fall in love with a girl, it is not easy to be as desperate as Li Chengze, Huilan feels that Brother Qiange will not give to any woman with all his heart, and his personality is different.

"Brother Qian, how good he is, he is even more green than the emperor back then, what is there to worry about, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and besides, there are few things in the son's room, just arrange it, as long as it is not a major event involving the heirs, I don't think there is anything else to ask."

Ma is also very transparent, and he also has this attitude towards Brother Qi's house, Brother Qi has no side concubines but has a concubine, and his maid is what he wants, not given by Ma, he likes it.

"You're right, I'm afraid I'm not as good as you, and I can't do it without asking."

Hui Lan flattened her mouth, put down the portrait and didn't want to pick it.

"If you want me to say, the top loyal general's family, there is only one General Xu, and there is also a Wang family, the Wang family was snatched away by your daughter, and the daughter gave a good family affair to give face. The other is the Sun family, the girls of the Sun family are also atmospheric and capable, and it is more than enough to be a wife, you can consider it and ask the emperor's opinion. ”

"Okay, listen to you, go back and let Zelang worry about it, whoever you like to choose, it's not me who marries a daughter-in-law, it's half easy to choose a wife."

Huilan thought about it for a while, and simply threw away her hand, anyway, if she has a wife, the side concubine is not very important.

"That's it, call the Wang family over, let's play the cards back."

Ma Shi came to her just to play, to coax Huilan to be happy, can she also give Brother Qi a few more opportunities and benefits.

"Okay, Qiuyun went to find the Wang family and said let's play three cards, let's eat at my place at noon, the emperor won't come and the ministers will discuss at noon."

Huilan is good to these people, they are all face-saving, they are nothing more than fighting for a little opportunity for their son, which is not an exaggeration.

"Yes, Niangniang, you drink tea, the slave and maid go and invite someone, you wait a while."

"Okay, good girl, go."

Ma Shi turned his head and asked, "Are these people in front of you really loyal and don't marry?" ”

"I asked, Lilac and Qiuyun don't want to get married, the previous second- and third-class people are married, I gave a dowry, but you also know that if you get married, you can't enter the palace to serve. There have been good and unsatisfactory.

Lilac's father and mother have already gone, leaving her brother and sister-in-law, who don't want to go out and are not happy to get married. Just follow me all the time.

Qiuyun, her aunt did a very good job in the treasurer, the old man, and also raised an apprentice, I heard that she was very filial, obedient, and helpless, and she was willing to be filial to her aunt. Qiuyun didn't want to get married, there were a lot of bullshit in the family, and her sister-in-law also disliked her, so she was allowed to enter the palace.

I don't want to marry the two of them, and I can't force them, you also know that I don't like to pull media, the rest are begged by myself, and I will fulfill my own family affairs, I have never protected the media, and I also told them, if you are willing, come and talk to me, I will fulfill you. ”

Kunning Palace has also changed a group of people, those palace maids in the past can leave the palace when they reach their age, Huilan is kind, and said that after the age of eighteen, you can come and ask for the palace, and you will not be stopped, if you have a good family, you are willing to fulfill it.

Therefore, the palace maids of Kunning Palace will not wait for twenty-five to get married, and they can leave the palace early, and they will not be stopped, and because of this small rule, everyone is very serious about doing things, and they also have a hope.

Twenty-five is really old when he leaves the palace, Ma is only in his early thirties, and Brother Qi has children.

Huilan was born late because Sister Xin was born, but it was time to get married, so she felt a little late when she left the palace at twenty-five, so she greeted the people below, but this matter could not be publicized.

The palace rules are the palace rules, Kunning Palace she can call the shots, but she can't hinder others from Bo Future, not all palace maids are willing to marry, the girls who enter the palace are all from a hard background, and the little body that goes out is not necessarily enough to spend a lifetime, and those who have a little ability and ambition are willing to stay in the palace to have a future, be an aunt, and if you can't do it, you can also mix a cold palace to support the elderly, and the days are also quiet, and everyone chooses differently.

Ma Shi nodded, "When I left the palace, I told the people below that I was willing to fulfill their exit from the palace, I gave a pension money, and the young people were willing to go out of the palace to marry, and the older ones were not willing to leave the palace, so they stayed to help me guard this courtyard, and I also wanted to give them a birthday."

The women in this palace, whether they are concubines or palace maids, they actually have their own sufferings, and marrying someone is really not the only choice, do you remember my dowry maid? ”

"I remember, didn't you say that when the emperor granted amnesty to the harem three years after you became a concubine, you went out to get married?"

Hui Lan remembered the people in front of these high-ranking concubines.

Ma sighed, his face turned a lot grayer.
