Chapter 174: It's better to look in the mirror every day
On the fourth day after King Chengping left, news came out in Beijing that Cheng Cheng, the head of the military department, also told the old man to return to his hometown, and Chen Moguan, the head of the military department, was promoted to two levels and served as the head of the military department.
After Yan Sheng received the news, he nodded with satisfaction.
This dispatch did not cause much discussion among the officials in Beijing. First, although the squire of the military department is an official position from the third grade, there is still a military department secretary pressing on it. Xue Ruike, the current secretary of the Ministry of War, is young and strong, and he is deeply respected by the Holy Master, with him, how big can a Chen Mo make waves in the Ministry of War?
Second, Chen Mo has served in the military department for many years, and it is reasonable for him to take over after Cheng Huan leaves.
What can make everyone talk about a few words is Cheng Zhiyu, the little prince of Chengping Palace, who has set up a squire in the military department, and is as quiet as a chicken.
Immediately afterwards, the Chengping palace was reprimanded by the Holy Land for poor governance, and the emperor here just finished reprimanding, and the queen mother's decree arrived at the Chengping Palace, and a team of eunuchs came in with the dowry rewarded by the Queen Mother, and the passers-by were dazzled, and they couldn't help but wonder whether the Chengping Mansion was out of favor or favored.
In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother happily put a pen under Chai Yuyuan's name, and said with a smile, "I finally married this bastard girl, which one should I do next?" ”
The emperor's forehead jumped when he sat with him, and he secretly said badly, "I remember that Cheng Zhisui hasn't decided on a marriage yet, right?" ”
When it comes to the Empress Dowager Cheng Zhisui, she is quite irritable, "He is idle all day long, which girl is willing to marry him?" The mourning family can't do it if they want to be a matchmaker! It's better to send him to the army for three and five years of training, and it's not too late to discuss his relatives when he has a human appearance! ”
After three years and five years, how old will Cheng Zhisui be? That's not the point, though! The emperor immediately stood up, "The queen mother is reasonable, I will do it!" ”
When the queen saw that the emperor had run away, she suddenly felt Alexander.
"In addition to Zhi Sui, it's the turn of the third grandson of the mourning family, this child is really, hey......" The queen mother's pen really fell under the name of the third emperor's grandson, and she looked up and asked the queen, "Speaking of which, Sheng'er is one year older than Yuyuan, right?" ”
The queen secretly complained bitterly, and nodded dignifiedly, "Yes, the queen mother's memory is really good." ”
"Eighteen is not small, it's time to get married, the queen still needs to pay attention to this matter." The Queen Mother said, "On August 15, the mourning family ordered the unmarried concubine of the prince's minister's family to enter the palace to admire the moon, and I wanted him to pick a pleasing one, but the child was injured and didn't rush back, which was cheaper for Chang'er." Now that he has full concubines on both sides, Yi'er also has concubines on both sides, but Sheng'er's palace is still empty, this is not good! ”
"Yes." The queen stubbornly said, "Actually, it's not too urgent, the emperor promised to let him get married when he reaches twenty, and there are still two years to ......go."
"As I speak, there's only a year and a half left." The Queen Mother was very dissatisfied with the queen's attitude.
But when he spoke, he must find a princess who looks better than him, otherwise it is better to look in the mirror at home every day...... But such a woman, where did the queen mother ask her sons to find it? "The queen is also very helpless.
Yan Sheng's attack on his mother Hua Jieyu's flower and moon appearance is even better than Hua Jieyu, is there? Have it!
The Queen Mother sighed, "Who said it wasn't, why don't you ask the emperor to make a holy decree and let the officials of the fifth grade, no, the seventh grade and above submit a portrait of the daughter who is over thirteen years old in the family and has not yet married, let's pick it carefully?" ”
The queen immediately nodded, "The queen mother is reasonable, and the sons will go and ask the emperor to come over and discuss together." ”
After saying that, the queen also ran away in a hurry. The Queen Mother picked up the pen and selected on the pages of the roster, thinking about which one could be worthy of her three emperor grandchildren.
In the Chen Jiaxin Mansion in Ji County, Xiao Nuan and Xiao Cao stood in the house, staring at Chen Zumo with big eyes.
"It's my father who wants to marry Erniang, why does my mother want to pay for clothes?" Xiaocao was not convinced, "It was passed on to Erniang, not for my mother!" ”
The green tendons on Chen Zumo's forehead jumped twice, "What do you mean by your mother, isn't your father already having people send you two over this month's monthly case at the beginning of this month?" ”
"Xiaocao and I, my father only gave one or two pieces of silver, is one or two pieces of silver a lot?" Xiao Nuan asked.
"Not much at all." Xiaocao crossed his waist and said.
"However, if Daddy thinks that the new clothes made of one or two silver can be worn to see Erniang, of course the two of us have no opinion." Xiao Nuan really doesn't matter.
Chen Zumo was so angry that he wanted to scold, "Qingliu, take another ten taels of silver!" ”
Qingliu silently put two silver ingots on it, and she knew that one or two silver could not send Chen Xiaonuan away, so she had already prepared it.
Xiaocao learned from her sister's appearance and said casually, "If Daddy thinks that the new clothes made of ten taels of silver can be worn to see Erniang......
"Take another twenty taels!" Chen Zumo immediately interrupted, "It can't be any more!" ”
Aoyagi silently handed over another twenty taels.
Xiao Nuan and Xiao Cao looked at each other, "Deal!" ”
"On the day you got married, you two stayed in your own courtyard peacefully, and you weren't allowed to run around or cause trouble, but do you understand?" Chen Zumo handed out the silver and admonished, "Don't bring the dog back!" ”
Before Xiao Nuan could reply, someone ran in to take the matter, "The old lady has returned home." ”
Chen Zumo immediately stood up and strode towards him.
Xiaocao looked up at her sister and picked up a chopstick and held it in her hand with a little fear. The green butterfly immediately took a step closer and protected them behind them.
Xiao Nuan put the silver in his purse, "I guess he can't see the two of us, let's go, watch the excitement." ”
As soon as she walked to the second gate, she saw Old Man Chen walking in in high spirits, Xiao Nuan touched her little chin, this Old Man Chen looked much younger than she remembered.
The servants behind him carried several large boxes, and the contents seemed to be quite heavy, and the weight of the people bared their teeth.
As Xiao Nuan expected, Old Man Chen only had the newly bought big courtyard of the Chen family in his eyes, and he didn't see them at all, so he was greeted by Chen Zumo and walked in, Xiao Nuan only heard him mention, "The county lord will arrive on the eighth day of the first month." ”
"Sister......" Xiaocao looked at the servants and maids who came in and out, and felt nervous.
Xiao Nuan smiled, "It's nothing to do with the two of us, let's go, go and see our small courtyard." Who's ...... then"
The little maid next to her immediately said, "Slave Tinglan." ”
"Okay, Tinglan, lead the way."
The Chen family bought a new four-entry large courtyard, the third courtyard is connected to a garden, and there are two small cross-courtyards on the edge of the garden, one of which is Xiao Nuan and Xiaocao in the Chen family's boudoir.
This small courtyard is quiet and quiet, and the rockery bonsai in the courtyard is much better than the yard bought by Xiao Nuan.
Xiao Nuan pointed to the sunny place under the eaves, and instructed Tinglan, who followed them step by step, "Build a kennel there." ”
The newly bought from the tooth shop, the well-trained maid immediately responded, "Girl, how big do you want to build?" ”
"Usually a big one will do." Xiao Nuan said and walked out again.
How big is it? Tinglan didn't dare to provoke the two aunts and grandmothers who even dared to contradict the master, so she had to respond indiscriminately, and she didn't build the dog kennel on the left and right.
When Xiao Nuan and Xiao Cao left Chen's Mansion and returned to Sanhe Street, Uncle Xin hurriedly ran over, "Girl, the Chen family's descendant surnamed Ma has just died in prison. ”
He's dead? Xiao Nuan frowned, "How did you die?" ”
"Sudden death."
