When the Queen Mother heard the words, she left An's lunch and talked again, and listened to An's talk about a few pieces of imperial capital lady's makeup, before letting Mrs. Zheng Yejun leave, and the two handmaidens sent in by An's were to let the Queen Mother pass the purpose, these two handmaidens are people Su Ruhui is familiar with, one is Qingque, and the other is Hongluan.

Hongluan was able to be taken by the lustful King Zhao and opened her mouth to ask for it, and even promised the position of concubine, needless to say, she was a powerful person around An's side six years ago, and she has a kind of temperament that is neither humble nor arrogant, neat and neat, and quite the style of the Su family in Qingzhou; And Qingque is the son of the Su family, although he is a few years younger than Hongluan, he has been with Su Ruhui since he was born, and Wu Dehou only has such a concubine under his knees, and he can be Su Ruhui's personal maid in the past, which is naturally brilliant.

The Queen Mother took a look at it, Hongluan was already in her twenties at this time, and she was almost the age when she was called an aunt, and Qingque was a few years younger, about the same age as Huo Qinglian, both of them cleaned up neatly, and looked shrewd and capable, so she nodded, which was considered to have passed.

It's just that the Queen Mother's eyes flashed when she looked at Hongluan, hiding a trace of displeasure.

This woman named Hongluan is too gorgeous, compared to some concubines...... The Queen Mother suddenly had a thought in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

An's mother and daughter didn't notice this at the time, Hongluan returned to the imperial capital during the Northern Expedition in the twenty-eighth year of Changtai, because Su Wanhai and Su Rutie's father and son felt that it was not worth bothering about a civilian woman, An's management of Wudehou's mansion, and the woman in the back house could also help her to be limited, so they sent someone to clean up an industry for her, including mansions, shops and fields.

The Su Guogong lineage from the An family is not a family gate, and he doesn't attach so much importance to blood, so the An family originally planned to wait for Su Wanze to return to the imperial capital, and discussed with him to let Hongluan recognize the name of the An family as a righteous daughter, otherwise a lonely daughter family will suffer in the end. However, Su Wanze returned to the imperial capital once at the beginning of the twenty-eighth year of Changtai, and after not seeing Hongluan, he went north and went deep into the territory of Beirong, and has not returned so far.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been like this many times and had not heard from him for several years, Su Wanrun and Su Wanhai brothers would have been in a hurry to hang themselves.

Because of the relationship between Hongluan and Su Wanze, without Su Wanze's permission, An's planned first, and when he really made a decision, he had to wait for the latter to come back. After so much dragged on day by day, Hongluan lived outside alone, and almost reached the age of marriage, Su Ruhui remembered that her mother entered the palace some time ago to ask for peace, and she also said that she planned to choose a reliable in-law for Hongluan, so she was a little surprised.

It's just that no one said much in front of the Queen Mother, until An's farewell, and the Queen Mother asked Su Ruhui to send it off, and the two of them whispered along the palace road of Renshou Palace-

"Mother, how did Hongluan enter the palace?"

"It's hard to put into words." An Shi actually showed a wry smile when he mentioned this matter, "The family only received news yesterday, saying that there was no one around you to serve you, and I was afraid that the new palace maid would not be used to it in the past, so I let two maids enter the house." Yesterday, I ordered the maid overnight, I originally wanted Qingque and Qingye to come in, after all, it was the person you used to use in the past, but you didn't know if the habit had changed over the years since you entered the palace - Qingye was promised again, but it was Hongluan who happened to be there and took the initiative to take this errand! ”

"Hongluan is a person who should have allowed someone to be in the palace a long time ago, entering the palace, although she is not a regular palace maid, but she is not able to go out of the palace to marry at will, Qingque is the son of our family, and she only listens to her when she enters the palace, why did Hongluan also have this idea? It's not a good job! Su Ruhua couldn't help but be surprised.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, An Shi asked Hongluan and Qingque to retreat a little farther away, so he took his daughter's hand and said carefully: "Originally, Mama An had a family affair for Hongluan, and the other party was the eldest son of a six-rank official in the imperial capital, who was okay with both the person and the family, and their aunt Weng also inquired, and they were all loyal people. I originally thought that such a family, with a little more Hongluan and some dowry, and the face of our family, I guess I can't wronged her...... Who knows if it's bad to ask for a name! ”

Su Ruhui was surprised: "But it doesn't match? ”

"Isn't it just a disagreement?" An sighed, "The day after the name was asked, the family fell ill, and it seems that the illness is not light, and he has not recovered until now!" ”

Su Ruhui is no longer an ignorant child when she was born in the early spring, and she has a full understanding of the consequences of the auspicious signs, and said: "I'm afraid the marriage will not happen?" ”

She was thinking about the discord of the family, why did Hongluan have to hide in the palace, so she heard An Shi say: "Where is it so simple? The family invited someone to look at the two of them, saying that Hongluan's life was rich and noble, and that family couldn't afford it, and the words were polite, but they resolutely resigned. ”

"Presumably they also know that Hongluan said that she was a maid by her mother's side, but she was similar to our young lady." Su Ruhui said strangely, "And then? ”

"Life is rich and noble, that's just the saying that they want to refuse marriage and don't want to offend our family...... But later, Mama An ......" An Shi paused before saying, "Our family has never believed in these things, but your Mama An is old, but she is worried that she will not be good for me, so I went to find a master and counted the eight characters of Hongluan." ”

Mama An, just by listening to this surname, you know that she is the nurse who is married to An's, and her identity is transcendent, even if Su Ruhui sees it, she has to be polite, so the nurse who watched An's grow up and accompany her to marry is obviously the most loyal, no matter how good An's is to Hongluan, if Hongluan's real life is ominous, it may affect An's, which is also intolerable for Mama An.

Su Ruhui listened to her mother continue: "This calculation, but there is really a problem, not the so-called rich or not rich before, but that Hongluan is not suitable for early marriage, if you want to marry, you must be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, otherwise you will invite disaster!" ”

Su Ruhui was suddenly surprised: "How can this be done?" ”

Dayong women fifteen and Xu, men fifteen bundles of hair, after which they will officially become adults, can intermarry, all the family valves, will leave their children for a year or two and then talk about marriage, that is, sixteen or seventeen years old. For example, the prince of Dayong, before the sixteenth of the vassals, will marry the queen before this.

Hongluan is about twenty-two years old this year, and she already belongs to an old girl, and if she is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, not to mention that her background is not high, even if she is the daughter of Qingzhou Su, she can't get rid of the life of continuing to be a child.

"Your third uncle wrote back a few days ago, it's been a few years, and it's been a few years, so it's safe!" An's is still more attentive to Su Wanze's little uncle, although he gritted his teeth a little, but he cared mostly, "The letter also specifically mentioned Hongluan, and asked me to find a good family for her, don't humiliate her, who knows how to calculate such a life, this is a family like us who don't believe in ghosts and gods, if your sister-in-law who has three brothers who haven't passed through the door has a reputation of Kefu, most of our family is not happy, but how can I find a good family for her?" ”

Su Ruhui sighed: "No wonder Hongluan is going to enter the palace." ”

"Just think of it as a favor for your third uncle, fortunately, Hongluan is also a good person." An comforted, "She is good and not married outside, and when she can get married, God knows how much gossip will be provoked, but fortunately, the Queen Mother allowed the family to send a maid into the palace, so that there will be a justifiable saying in the future...... You ......"

An Shi thought about it, and finally said it: "Your identity will be different in the future, being the maid of the Su family and your personal palace maid in the future will have a different future in the future." ”

Su Ruhui understands what her mother means, she will be a princess in the future, and the personal palace maid around her is to marry a serious five- or six-grade official as a wife, although she can only fill the house at the age of Hongluan, which is also qualified. Qingzhou Su is just a gate valve in the end.

She had a good impression of Hongluan, and she grew up calling Hongluan's sister when she was a child, and Hongluan's avoidance of Qiu Di was still made by Su Ruhua's handiwork, and she asked clearly: "That's it, I'm just afraid of delaying Hongluan's youth, after all, it's the third uncle who sees it as his daughter." ”

The mother and daughter said goodbye in front of the gate of Renshou Palace, and their own little yellow door led An's out of the palace, but Su Ruhui took Hongluan and Qingque back to Lumingtai.
