Mu Yan's eyes rolled, and he smiled sheepishly, so he simply gave Cen Yin an idea: "Big brother, it's okay, grandfather doesn't like you, you must not retreat, you can't be cowardly!" ”

"Actually, my grandfather didn't look down on me either! But I wrapped my face around it, and I got it back! ”

"If you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you must have a thick skin."

As he spoke, he pulled at his cheeks in a matter-of-fact manner.

"Look, in two months, I will be able to marry a daughter-in-law! Does that mean my method works? ”

"It doesn't matter if my grandfather doesn't agree, you just go to Duanmu Mansion every day to visit, one day he doesn't agree, two days and three days...... For a month or two, he can always be pestered, think about it, he can't beat you out with a stick, right? ”

"Moreover, beating is kissing and scolding is love, we are grandsons-in-law, and beating and scolding our grandfather is also filial piety!"

Mu Yan said crooked reasoning confidently, and the more he said it, the more outrageous it became.

Cen Yin couldn't listen to it anymore and lifted his eyelids.

He suddenly moved, took out a fold from his sleeve, and threw it directly at Mu Yan's face.

Mu Yan reacted quickly enough, raised his hand, and pinched it less than half an inch from the bridge of his nose.

He smiled and winked, and said triumphantly: "It's so dangerous!" ”

Mu Yan opened the fold and said with two hearts: "Big brother, don't think I'm joking just now, think about what I said carefully, what I said is all golden and jade good words, every word is heartfelt!" ”

"Just go back and think about it!"

Mu Yan was very happy, he was actually just playing tricks.

Although Cen Yin didn't answer his question directly, Mu Yan was already satisfied, and today's harvest was enough for him to make a deal with Duanmu Fei. As long as the grandfather agrees, the eldest brother will come to the door to propose!

Mu Yanmei thought about it, lowered his eyes and looked at the fold in his hand, and raised his eyebrows in amazement.

This fold is a new fold handed over by Jinyiwei.

One of the responsibilities of the Jinyi Guard is to supervise the courtiers.

Recently, some people in the DPRK and China are privately discussing the draft, and this is what this excerpt says.

In fact, just after the end of the New Year, someone publicly proposed to Mu Yan in the early dynasty that the new emperor would ascend the throne and choose draft girls to enrich the harem in order to extend the heirs, but at that time, Mu Yan scolded him back in a few words.

After that, no one was talking to him about this matter, Mu Yan thought that this matter was over, and there were still people who dared to discuss it in private.

What if this reaches the ears of his grandfather, sister, and Zhen Zhen, and there is any misunderstanding about him?!

The more Mu Yan thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he looked at the fold in his hand at a glance, knowing that if they were just talking about the draft, Cen Yin would not be guilty of deliberately bringing this fold to him.

It's a wonderful excerpt.

Those people were all thinking about how to push the girl in the family to Mu Yan "naturally".

For example, when Mu Yan went to the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping, he could have a chance encounter;

For example, it is recommended that the new emperor go to Qianya Garden to hold a flower-viewing banquet on the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival, and there will naturally be more opportunities at that time, you can fall into the water, you can throw yourself into your arms or something;

For another example, when Mu Yan was in micro-service, he let the carriage have some problems, and gave Mu Yan a chance to create a hero to save the United States.

To put it bluntly, they just want the girl in the family to gain a firm foothold before Duanmu Fei enters the palace, and some people even propose to use some drugs to fix the pet, and it is naturally the best to be able to conceive a dragon.

They all treat others with themselves, and they feel that Mu Yan is because he is constrained by Cen Yin, so he refuses to be drafted.

As long as an "accidental" situation is created, so that Mu Yan can explain it in front of Cen Yin, Mu Yan will accept it "along the water", and will also remember their goodness.

The corners of Mu Yan's lips hooked up a sneer.

These people have a lot of eyes, and they don't know how to work hard when they have so much time.

Mu Yan casually threw the fold aside and left this matter behind.

"Big brother!"

When Mu Yan looked at Cen Yin again, his smile became silly again, his phoenix eyes were incredibly bright, and he said with great interest:

"I'm going to Duanmu's house in a few days."

"You say, did I wear a purple dress that day, or a red one, or the one with a red-crowned crane embroidered on it?"

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers crisply, beckoned to Luo Feng and said, "Luo Feng, you go and bring me those three new clothes!" ”

Luofeng hurriedly took the order and hurriedly went to get the three new clothes.

Mu Yan continued to gush: "Hmm, do I still have to have a jade pendant, a small seal or something?" ”

"Luofeng, take my jade pendants, small seals, belts, boots and so on!"

"By the way, Benxiao's harness is pitch black, and it doesn't look festive enough, big brother, do you want to put a new harness on Benxiao?"

"You still have to beat gongs and drums when you get hired, right? I've got to ask the Ministry of Rites to bring their clothes to me to see, don't disgrace me......"

Mu Yan said to himself, Luofeng also ran again and again, and after a while, the imperial study was already full of all kinds of clothes, hats, and accessories, and it was almost possible to open a shop.

"Big brother, help me pick and choose!"

Under Mu Yan's urging, Cen Yin could only pick him hard, picked out the purple brocade robe embroidered with cloud eagles, and picked out all the matching belts, jade pendants, small seals, cloaks, boots, etc.

Luofeng carefully recorded it on the side, for fear that there would be a little mistake. Who doesn't know that the emperor cares a lot about the matter of hiring, and he has to mention it at least three times a day.

After picking out clothes for Mu Yan, Cen Yin planned to leave, always feeling that if he stayed any longer, his troubles would only increase.

However, before he could speak, Mu You had already taken the lead and said, "Big brother, that day, how about you just accompany me to the next hire?" ”

If the elders in the family are gone, you can also ask a respected person to help you go to the woman's house to hire you, so as to show your value to the woman.

With Mu Yan's current status, even if he has no father or mother, he doesn't have to go in person at all, and his own Ministry of Etiquette can help handle the hiring matters.

Mu Yan personally went to hire the representative because of his sincerity in this marriage, and the importance he attached to Duanmufei, not to mention, he also asked Cen Yin to accompany him to the next appointment.

Cen Yin raised his eyebrows, almost doubting that Mu Yan was in a hurry to go to the doctor.

Mu Yan, didn't this guy forget that Duanmu Xian was looking at himself unpleasantly at this time! I'm afraid that if I accompany Mu Yan to the door to get hired, Duanmu Xian doesn't think it's an honor, but will dislike it!

Mu Yan looked at Cen Yin with a smile and urged, "Big brother, what do you think?" It's a big deal, how about I accompany you to the next hire in the future? "He doesn't take advantage of people for nothing!

Cen Yin was a little troubled by him, rubbed his eyebrows, and finally responded.

"Thank you, big brother." Mu Yanden smiled happily, and diligently poured tea for Cen Yin personally, "Drink tea!" ”

"Big brother, do you want to have lunch with me before leaving?"

Mu Yan was in a good mood and entertained Cen Yin very hospitablely.

Mu Yan was happy, but Fan Peizhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was about to cry.

In the more than 100-year history of Dasheng, there has never been a queen, and they have all been canonized as queens from the crown princess or the princess or the princess.

In just over a month, Fan Peizhong has lost a lot of weight.

In the past month, Fan Peizhong had to deal with the government affairs of the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to go through those ancient rites in his spare time, sort out the rituals from the next appointment to the big wedding, and wrote several excerpts, which were overturned by Mu Yan three times before they were decided.

Mu Yan is the Son of Heaven, he hires the queen, according to the number of etiquette, he doesn't have to come forward at all.

However, their new emperor has always taken an unusual path, so he had to hire himself, and for this reason, the etiquette was changed three times over and over again.

Now that the schedule of the appointment has been decided, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would go back to the house for a good rest in the past two days, but when the time came, not only Mu Yan wanted to go to Duanmu Mansion to be hired, but even Cen Yin had to go with him.

And there's no end to it!

Besides, Cen Yin is the brother-in-law of the fourth girl, shouldn't it be her mother's family?! What does it mean that he accompanies the man to the next hire?!

This newcomer is too unreliable!

Fan Peizhong couldn't understand what the new emperor was thinking, didn't the new emperor know that outsiders were rumoring that he was afraid of Cen Yin like a tiger?! He didn't try to get rid of Cen Yin, but he had to take Cen Yin to hire him together, what the hell is this!

For a moment, Fan Peizhong almost wanted to turn over the table, but he didn't do anything.

Whoever likes to do it in this Ministry of Rites will do it!

It was just a momentary impulse, and of course Fan Peizhong would not resign for this.

He took a deep breath, resisted the urge to cry, and tried to reason with Mu Yan: "Your Majesty, you will be hired in a few days, and it's too late to change your etiquette now." ”

"Besides, it stands to reason that the Overseer is the maiden family of the fourth girl of Duanmu."

"Your Majesty, if you want to be accompanied by a person of high moral character, why don't you choose Prince Li?"

Prince Li is Mu Yan's imperial uncle and ancestor, and he is accompanied by him.

The more Fan Peizhong thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea, and looked at Mu Yan behind the imperial case diligently, hoping that he would change his mind.

Mu Yan was a little annoyed when he heard Fan Peizhong's crooked call.

He hooked his lips with a smile, and with an idea, he deliberately said, "Master Fan, if you think that Lord Cen can't go, just tell him to go!" ”

"......" Fan Peizhong was speechless as if someone was choking his neck.

There was a dead silence in the study.

The corners of Fan Peizhong's eyes twitched, and he felt that the new emperor had dug a pit for himself to jump!

Although he said it to the letter, he meant it this way, but from the mouth of the new emperor, how did it sound weird?

What do you mean by feeling that "Lord Cen can't go"?

Isn't this looking for death?!

Fan Peizhong didn't dare to go to Cen Yin, even if he resigned, he didn't dare to go to Cen Yin, it was no different from looking for death.

Fan Peizhong stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean that. His voice seemed to come out of his teeth, "Chen, go back and change the ritual, and hand over a new one to you as soon as possible." ”

Fan Peizhong left with a sad face, and the next morning, he handed over a new fold to the imperial study.

In Mu Yan's anticipation, it finally came February 20, the day of official hiring.

Duanmu Fuzhong, since yesterday, has been jubilant, and the whole house is making all kinds of preparations, just waiting for the Ministry of Rites to come and hire.

Early in the morning, Duanmu's house opened the main door, and the next person put up lights in the front door, busy, and saw that there were happy events in the house, and there were some good passers-by who came to inquire about what happy events were today, maybe they could also ask for a lottery, and they were happy or something.

As soon as they heard that the Ministry of Rites was coming to hire the future queen, those passers-by were all bright-eyed, or they simply didn't leave, waiting to see the excitement, or they ran to call friends.

The gate of Duanmu Mansion is getting more and more lively.

The auspicious time is in the late afternoon.

Although there is still some time, the subordinates can't wait, and those housekeepers and grandmothers have repeatedly inspected the house several times, for fear that something inappropriate.

In contrast, Duanmuxian was very calm, reading books and teasing birds, as if today was an ordinary day.

Until the chief steward suddenly came in a hurry, his face was very ugly, he walked quickly to Duanmu Xian's side, and said a few words in his ear.

The smile on Duanmu Xian's lips disappeared in an instant, and his face suddenly became not very good-looking.

Although the big girl who was serving the tea on the side didn't know what was going on, her heart couldn't help but chuckle.

Duanmuxian put down the book in hand, Huo Di stood up, and strode towards the outside of the study.

The chief steward hurriedly followed.

One master and one servant were speechless all the way, and walked faster and faster until they came to the gate.

At this moment, there were already many subordinates of the Duanmu family around the gate, and they all looked out of the gate with strange expressions.

As soon as these subordinates saw Duanmu Xian coming, they hurriedly avoided it and automatically made way for Duanmu Xian.

The vermilion lacquer gate was wide open, and Duanmu Xian saw a man and a woman kneeling side by side outside the gate at a glance, it was Duanmu Chao and Xiao He's couple.

Their actions also attracted a lot of good passers-by, who swarmed around this side, and the noise outside the house was noisy and noisy, and all passers-by pointed at Duanmu and his wife.

Duanmu Chao and Xiao He also saw Duanmu Xian inside the gate, and the couple quickly exchanged a look.

Duanmu Chao cried loudly at the top of his voice: "Father! My mother is seriously ill and is about to get better, so I beg my father to remember the previous relationship between husband and wife, for the sake of several children, and accompany us back to see our mother. ”

Xiao He pinched a handkerchief, kept wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, his eyes were red, and he choked up: "Father, my mother used to be at fault, but I have been repairing in the same boat for a hundred years, and I have been sleeping together for a thousand years, so you can go and see my mother." Mother, she knew she was wrong. ”

Duanmu Xian looked at Duanmu Chao and his wife, who were kneeling on the ground, his face became more and more gloomy, as if there were layers of dark clouds hanging over his face, which was extremely ugly.

He didn't believe it could be such a coincidence!

Even if it was that unfortunate, they shouldn't have chosen this time to come.

Today is the day when the Ministry of Rites comes to be hired, and the news has already spread all over the capital, and they must know about the second child, so even if the He family is really sick and dying now, the second child should not come here to cry at this time, at least wait for the next hire to come and "beg".

What's more, he has already divorced his wife, and from then on the husband and wife are strangers, and there is no need to tell him whether He is dead or alive.

I'm afraid the second couple has ulterior motives!

Duanmu Xian's eyes shot towards Duanmu Chao coldly, and he said coldly: "You two go immediately!" ”

Duanmu Chao's eyes turned even redder, he took two steps on his knees on the ground, looked at Duanmu Xian sadly, and said, "Father, my son is not leaving!" ”

This is my mother's last wish, she just wants to see her father, a husband and wife for a hundred days. Father, don't you even fulfill your mother's little wish before her temporary death? ”

Duanmu Chao looked up at Duanmu Xian, looking like a filial son.

Duanmu Xian was unmoved, let alone soft-hearted.

He narrowed his eyes, and his voice became colder: "You two are really not leaving?" ”

"Father, if you don't promise us, we won't leave!" Duanmu Chao frowned, and said indignantly, "How can you ignore your mother's life and death for the sake of this little girl!" ”

Duanmu Chao clenched his fists, looking sad and angry.

"Yes, father, mother is not in any way, she is about to ...... now. Have pity on her. He wiped his tears with a handkerchief and sobbed and couldn't speak.

Listening to the couple singing and harmonizing, Duanmu Xian can also be sure.

The second child did know that he was going to be hired today, and even most of them deliberately chose this time by pinching the hour.

The Ministry of Rites chose an auspicious time, and if you have a heart, it is not difficult to know the time.

Duanmu Xian stared straight at Duanmu Chao, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and his body exuded a gloomy aura, and asked in a flat tone: "Second brother, what do you want to do?" ”

Duanmu Xian can actually order Duanmu Chao and Xiao He to be dragged away, but now this time is not very good, if Duanmu Chao makes a fuss, I am afraid that the auspicious time will be delayed, plus ......

Duanmu Xian frowned and looked around, there were still many people here who came to see the excitement, and these people were talking about it:

"Didn't you say that you were going to hire the fourth girl of Duanmu today?"

"What the hell is going on?"

"I heard these two people call Shoufu's father, they are the son and daughter-in-law of Shoufu, right?" A woman in Tsing Yi pointed to Duanmu and asked, "Then isn't the mother they are talking about the wife of Shoufu?" ”

"Girl, don't you know?" Another wrinkled old woman next to her said enthusiastically, "Lord Shousuke has already divorced his wife!" ”

"Really? I only moved to the capital last year, what mistake did this Shoufu's wife make to be suspended? It stands to reason that there are sons and daughters here, and there are children and grandchildren, so it won't be."

"I know, I know. I also came that day, and I heard that it was Shousuke's wife who set fire to the house with her mother's family! ”

When it comes to their mother's family, many people feel that they have realized that there are not a few stupid women who have fallen out with their husband's family for their mother's family these years.

"But this Shoufu's wife is sick and dying, and people are dying and their words are good, so if they are married to each other, how should Shoufu go and see others."

"That's right."

The more these people talked, the more lively they became.

Duanmuxian's heart sank little by little, these people knew that the Ministry of Rites was going to hire the emperor today, and they knew that their four granddaughters were the future queen mothers, so they came to see the excitement.

Now let Duanmu Chao and Xiao He's make such a fuss, there will be more people, and the old matter of the He family will be brought up again, if this tears his face and makes trouble, the scene will only be more ugly.

One to ten, ten to hundred, one hundred to thousand...... When others mention that the new emperor hires the queen, I am afraid that they will only remember the Duanmu Dynasty and the He family who came to make trouble.

Today's good day has become a joke!

The more ugly Duanmu Xian's face became, the more proud Duanmu Chao's heart became, and a touch of sharpness flashed under his eyes.

He knew he had caught his father's weakness.

Duanmu Chao kowtowed heavily to Duanmu Xian three times, knocking his forehead bruised, and continued to plead bitterly: "Father, son, please." Go back with your son and see your mother. ”

When he looked up at Duanmuxian again, tears were already rolling in his eyes, and he looked like "a man doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place", and he endured the humiliation.

Duanmu Xian made a straight face, crossed the high threshold with his robe, stood on the steps and looked down at Duanmu Chao under the steps condescendingly, and said coldly: "Second brother, I don't want to go around in circles with you, what do you want to do, just say it directly!" ”

When Duanmu Chao heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly at an angle that others couldn't see, and his heart became more and more proud: This matter is almost done!

Xiao He was also overjoyed, barely suppressing the ecstasy in his heart. She didn't look up, just grabbed the handkerchief and pretended to wipe her tears.

Duanmu Chao wiped his tears with his cuffs and said euphemistically: "Father, my mother is sick, and my son has no errands now, so it costs money to see a doctor...... My son is struggling to make ends meet......"

Duanmu Chao divided so many farms and properties when he split up, how could he have no money to treat He's family, his meaning was very clear, in fact, it was to force Duanmu Xian to find him an errand in disguise.

"......" was as clever as Duanmu Xian, how he couldn't understand, and the corners of his mouth were pursed.

Duanmu Chao continued: "Father, no matter how important the marriage of the four nieces is, but you can't ignore the life and death of your mother, how will the four nieces be 'motherly in the world' in the future?!" ”

When he said the last four words, Duanmu Chao's tone was raised a lot, and the threat was overflowing, but his expression made a sincere look.

In just a few words, there were more people around, looking curiously and inquiring.

At the end of Quanyu Street, you can see more people gathering again.

Duanmuxian's face was gloomy again, and the chief steward was sweating like rain, for fear that the scene would be difficult to clean up.

The chief steward hesitated, but still took a step forward, leaned into Duanmu Xian's ear and whispered: "Old lady, the auspicious time is almost here." ”

When the people from the Ministry of Rites arrived, it would not look good if Duanmu Chao forcibly blocked the people from the Ministry of Rites from entering the door.

If this is usual, there are many ways to drive people away first, you can let the guards do it, or you can invite people from Jingzhao Mansion to come, but today is different, today is a good day for the four girls, and it must not be ruined, and the chief steward also knows that the second master's reliance is this.

However, the fourth girl is the heart of the old lady, and the old lady has seen through the second master's intentions, and she can't wronged the fourth girl.

Duanmu Chao raised his chin and was still chattering: "Father, the fourth niece can be in the mansion today?" The son believed that if she heard that her grandmother was sick, she would be 'worried'......"

"Enough!" Duanmu Xian interrupted Duanmu Chao with a loud voice, his voice was cold and hard, "I know." ”

The last four words, Duanmu Xian, gritted his teeth.

Duanmu Chao was even more proud in his heart, and he knew that his father would definitely give in.

Duanmu Chao climbed up the pole and said, "I want my father to give me a promise." ”

"I believe that father, you are true to your word." Xiao He said, there was no tear in his eyes, and he was shining.

Duanmu Xian took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said slowly, "You go to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow." ”

Being coerced by his son in this way, Duanmu Xian's heart was annoyed, and he said with a sneer: Didn't the second child just want an errand, there were so many errands in the court, and he gave him one as he wished. It depends on whether he can afford it!

"You're doing it yourself!" Duanmu Xian looked at Duanmu Chao meaningfully and said, with a little warning and a little coldness.

Duanmu Chao made such a fuss, and finally got what he wanted, who would care about this.

"Thank you, father." Duanmu Chao was overjoyed and waved at Duanmu Chao, smiling and dancing, and quickly exchanged a tacit look with the He family beside him.

Both husband and wife feel that they are still capable sons-in-law! Sure enough, the son-in-law said that he was right, his father just wanted to save face, and today this opportunity is just right, if you miss it, there will be no next time!

I know you annoy both of them. emmm, this plot is very important for the rest of the story. There will be no spoilers for the rest~
