() The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "What does the emperor want the mourning family to do." ”

"There is also a royal village outside the city, which is going to be given to the girl, and you are rewarding something else, and the gift is just to be sent. This time the Northwest War was a great victory, and the girl did not contribute less money in order to help his uncle, although it was to help relatives, but in the end it was I who benefited from the court.

This time, almost all the money of the Song family was spent, and all the money earned in the past few years has been drained, and I am willing to give this face, what do you say. ”

The emperor sat there and discussed things with the queen mother.

"Such a brave and loyal courtier, it is also appropriate to give face, even if the mourning family is so mournful, the girl will be rewarded, a thousand taels of gold, and the others are coming, how about sending Mama Li."

"Thank you mother for her son's work, there was moldy old rice when transporting grain in the northwest, it was a lack of virtue that the Geng family had done for many years, no one could keep his family this time, I have to give an explanation to the soldiers who died in the northwest, otherwise it will not be enough to vent the people's grievances."

The emperor was very disappointed in the Geng family.

"The emperor doesn't have to pity the Geng family anymore, the blisters on his feet came out by himself, and he can't complain about others. But since the queen married into the royal family, she has no merit and hard work, and she shouldn't be affected by the Geng family, so give her a better title. ”

The Queen Mother is still trying to appease the emperor's heart, and she doesn't have to care so much about a title, what are you fighting for when everyone is dead.

"Yes, the son listens to his mother."

"Well, the mourning family heard that Cui Xiang wants to retire?"

The Queen Mother twisted her face and asked.

"Yes, Cui Xiang is not in love with power, he has long wanted to retire, in recent years, the older he gets, his energy is not good, his grandson is also out, he wants to retire, he has been repeatedly dismissed by me, and now the court still needs him."

The emperor was also helpless, Cui Xiang actually wanted to retreat a long time ago, but he was not allowed to do it, so he had to continue.

"At present, there is no successor to the court, and he can't be allowed to retreat, how can he be stable without such a loyal minister to stabilize the overall situation. How is Cui Hao? ”

"Very smart, very hard-working, I have the true inheritance of Cui Xiang, and I still need to be trained when I am a little younger."

The emperor is also very optimistic about Cui Hao.

"Well, that's good, the old man has been conscientious and worthy of the royal family all his life, if the children of the Cui family have to use the emperor, don't be stingy with talents."

"Yes, I also have this intention, and I plan to hone Cui Hao well."

"Well, that's good."

The mother and son discussed some things, and the emperor returned to the study to continue the review.

The newly opened Xianglou is better than before, and after repeated discussions between Zilan and her uncles, the activities are very prosperous, and everyone buys it.

The emperor spoke, saying that the incense building was exempted from paying the profit for three years, which could be regarded as compensating for the loss of the incense building burned by the fire.

Although you don't have to pay this money, even if you make it, it's not much, because it costs a lot of money to add new things such as institutions and scenery to build Xianglou, so you have to settle this account.

Zilan didn't worry about this, she lived in the farm for a few days, ran back to the old house to play for a few days, and then went to Yang's house to play for a few days.

The emperor's reward will has also come down, and my father has been promoted to the head of the household, and he is in the second grade, and he has crossed the first level, you must know that there is another from the second grade. This is the return of the Song family's support for the northwest.

The fourth uncle and the fifth uncle also got the opportunity to be promoted, and several sons and daughters of the Song family also went out, and the locations were good.

The elder brother went to the Hanlin Academy to work for three years, and the eldest uncle was promoted to one level, and he was a second-rank soldier in the military department.

Yu Han went to the official position of the fourth rank of the Ministry of War, and worked under his old father-in-law, although he was only promoted by one level, from the fourth rank to the fourth grade, but the real power department was gone.

Yang Yu went to the Ministry of Officials, and the adults accepted the work, which was very interesting.

The second uncle Yang Lin is coming back and going to work in the Ministry of Industry, and the order has come out.

Everyone's arrangements are very good, the Yang family is currently worried about Yang Yu's marriage, there are many relatives, and they are still in the specific selection.

According to my grandfather's meaning, I insisted that the daughter of the big family entered the door, Yang Yu was the eldest son, and if she wanted to inherit the Hou Mansion in the future, the hostess was very important.

Grandpa secretly muttered to the old lady, "I have to choose a satisfactory granddaughter-in-law than Lan'er, so that the Hou Mansion can be more stable in the future." ”

"Oops! Your requirements are too high, so why didn't you leave Lan'er in the first place. ”

The old lady didn't understand what her wife meant.

"Do you think I haven't been tempted, the Song family doesn't give it, the Song family originally planned to marry the big family to strengthen themselves, and I don't plan to kiss and kiss, what can I do?"

The old marquis explained helplessly.

The Song family relied on an excellent daughter to marry into the Cui family of the wang family, and the overall strength rose at once, and because Ziyan also had an excellent relationship, he was stained with a little Zilan's light, and married the Qi family, and the three big families were tied together, and their strength should not be underestimated, and they were no longer the Song family that was squeezed out of place at that time.

"Then whose house do you like?"

"The Li family."

"Li family, you still dare to marry like Brother Li."

Old Lady Yang shook her head unhappily.

"When I changed to someone else, people were not willing to marry me, and the big families were not very happy to marry a family like the Hou Mansion and the Guogong Mansion, which was too closely attached to the imperial power, and it was easy to have accidents.

It is at this time that the Li family is willing to condescend, Li Qing alone cannot represent the strength and style of the entire Li family, after all, the Li family also has a left minister, and the girl of the Li family is still remarkable. ”

The old marquis patiently persuaded his wife, the reputation of the Li family was damaged because of Li Qing's complete calf, but the flaws are not hidden, and all the people of the Li family cannot be denied because of one person, which is also not right.

Now because of Li Qing's relationship, the Li family has lowered the family a little.

And the old marquis took a fancy to the Li family as a prestigious family, and he was able to bring in a lot of good upbringing, which Yang Yu couldn't say before, and people didn't want to get involved with the family of favored ministers, and they couldn't get rid of it, this is the relationship between political ideas, and nothing else.

"If you want to say that the benefits are obvious, who do you fancie?"

"The concubine who is out of the second room is also the eldest daughter, and there is no concubine in the big house. But this concubine was personally taught by the old lady in the clan, I inquired about it, you are taking a closer look, go back and make an appointment to come to the house to play, you take a look. ”

"There is also the eldest daughter of the Wang family is also quite good, it is the Wang family that the daughter of the Song family married, and there is a family, which is the Zhao family, but it is not in the capital, it is from Shandong, and his family is also famous, and he is also a prominent family in Shandong, but he is of limited help to Brother Yu, and he still needs the help of our family to return to the court."

The old marquis said all the candidates in his heart, and the old lady nodded.

"Do you want to ask the Xu family?"

"Miss Xu? No, I don't approve of kissing and kissing, there will be a lot of problems, and the blood is easy to flow backwards. Besides, the Xu family has not been outstanding over the years, and it can't meet the standards I want, which has nothing to do with whether the Xu family girl is good or not.

To put it mildly, there are few girls in the capital who can compete with my granddaughter, not even the royal family. ”

The old marquis is very proud of this.

Old Lady Yang also nodded convincingly, "This is very true, the little girls I know in the royal family can't be compared with Lan'er, they are proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, but what's the use, it's not atmospheric enough, and the overall situation is not enough." ”

"Yes, what you want is the overall situation, wife, you can teach others, but the overall situation is not something that can be simply taught."

The old marquis patted his wife's hand and expressed his meaning.
