Ma Shi does have something to say to Yan Yan.

First of all, she didn't know that Yan Yan had privately sent someone to the border to find Yan Peng, and she had blamed Yan Yan for this matter.

Of course, she couldn't say this, she just expressed her gratitude to Yan Yan.

Secondly, she asked Yan Yan if she knew if Lu Ming wanted to accept Zhou Wan as a concubine, and this matter could be done, because Ma Shi heard that the emperor did intend to raise a group of officials, first, because the war in the north was tense, and he wanted to change a few officials who could really come in handy to help; Second, there has been a flood in the south for two consecutive years, and he wants to find a few officials with expertise in water conservancy to deal with the water.

Coincidentally, Zhou Wan's father has made some achievements in water conservancy, and his reputation in the officialdom and among the people is good, so if it works well this time, he is very likely to be among the reinstated officials.

In this way, the Zhou family has inherited such a big favor from the Lu family, and they will definitely agree to marry Zhou Wan in return.

The third thing is about Yan Tong's family affairs. Wang Zheng has gone to Daimyo County to take up his post more than a month ago, so the Wang family means that they want to let the two get married next spring, if Wang Zheng can take leave to return to Beijing, it will be good, if not, then Yan Tong can only be sent to Daimyo.

Originally, the Wang family meant to get married before Wang Zheng left, but the time was too rushed, because of the holy decree, Wang Zheng would leave within five days, where could he prepare things in such a short time?

And Ma couldn't bear to wronged her daughter, so she rejected the Wang family.

But she couldn't refuse the Wang family's proposal to get married next spring, first, because the two of them were older, and it was time to get married; The second is that she hopes that her daughter will get married as soon as possible and give birth to a child as soon as possible, in case there is any accident on Wang Zheng's side, Yan Tong will be able to survive if she has a child.

In fact, this is not only the meaning of the Ma family, but also the meaning of the Wang family.

Although Yan Yan was willing to oppose it, the importance of the ancients to the heirs was not something she could persuade with a sentence or two.

I think that when the Queen Mother persuaded her to marry Lu You, she also said something similar, to the effect that although Lu You can't speak, it will not affect her normal life, and if she has a child in the future, let Yan Yan cultivate this child well, and she may not rely on Yunyun in the future.

It is no exaggeration to say that for women in this time and space, the whole meaning of marriage is the continuation of children, and it has nothing to do with love or anything, otherwise, they would not let their husbands enter and leave other women's rooms.

Of course, this question is not absolute.

If you can find a person who is happy with each other on the basis of matching family background, it will naturally be the icing on the cake, otherwise Yan Yu will not fight Lu Ming's idea.

But in the final analysis, it still has to fall on the heir, no, although there is a problem between Yan Yu and Lu Ming, the first thing Ma and Yan Yu thought about was not Lu Ming's change of heart, but Yan Yu failed to give birth to the Lu family's son-in-law, for fear that he would not be able to sit in the position of Mrs. Shizi.

However, Ma's purpose in looking for Yan Yan is not to ask whether Yan Tong's family business can be settled, it has already been decided, and there is no room for regret, unless it is a scandal similar to Yan Yan's collision at the beginning.

Therefore, Ma wants to find Yan Yan to intercede with the emperor to see if she can give Wang Zheng a month off, she wants to marry Yan Tong in the capital, not to mention anything else, these dowries have to be brought out to brighten up, and they can't be sent all the way to Daming County, right?

Also, Ma's means that if Yan Tong can get pregnant during the newlywed, she won't have to travel all the way to the daimyo.

Especially after listening to Chen Ying talk about the experience of the siege of the Western Xia soldiers, the Ma family was even more reluctant to take risks with his daughter.

Daimyo County is so close to the Khitan, who knows if it can be held?

"Second aunt, how can I persuade the emperor for this kind of thing, I don't know if the second aunt has thought about it, if the third brother-in-law has an accident during the return to Beijing to get married, who will bear this responsibility? I think that when the time comes, not only will Wang Youxiang not be able to hold him, but I am afraid that my family and they will all be implicated. Yan Yan refused.

She really didn't expect Ma to be so short-sighted.

Yes, Yan Tong's relatives Yan Tong's life is very important, but no matter how important it is, can it be more important than a city? Can it be more important than the north gate of the Great Zhou? Can it be more important than the safety of Da Zhou?

Yan Tong saw that Yan Yan said so heavily, and his face immediately had a look of shame, "Mother, let's listen to the eldest sister, I'll go to Daimyo County, don't worry, I'm also reading the books that the eldest sister has read these days, maybe I can help him after I get to the Daimyo, don't worry, I'll be fine, I'll protect myself." ”

Ma Shi's eyes also turned red when he heard this, "It's not that I don't understand the truth, I also know that it is my own selfishness, just listen to you, this is Tong'er's life, and the family affairs of the three of you sisters are too unpleasant." ”

"Mother is worried about the second sister, right? Eldest sister, Miss Zhou has always been good friends with you, can you persuade her not to marry her second brother-in-law? If her father can be reinstated, it would not be a glorious thing for a daughter who was a concubine to speak out. Yan Tong took Yan Yan's hand and begged.

Where did these words come from? Why haven't I heard of it at all? Yan Yan naturally couldn't take out his speculation.

Yan Tong pouted, "Who else can there be, naturally the second brother-in-law, hmph, I didn't approve of the second sister marrying at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to really come from here." ”

According to Yan Tong's meaning, as soon as Yan Yan had an accident, Lu Ming couldn't wait to propose to withdraw from his family, completely ignoring Yan Yan's life or death, such a person is too cold.

No, it's here again.

Before, under the pretext of having an heir, a concubine on the left and another maid pulled into the house, and they didn't say anything, who let the family have a legitimate reason?

But now that he has a group of children, he has become an injured person lying on the bed and unable to move, just like that, he still has the face to take a concubine, and she is also a noble concubine, and she is called a good helper for Yan Yu, saying that Zhou Wan's talent is not bad in all aspects, and what is even more rare is that Zhou Wan and Yan Yan are good friends, and they are learning to take care of mundane affairs with Yan Yan.

And Yan Yu only liked those things because of Lu Ming's relationship before, and she didn't want to be entangled in these mundane affairs, so Lu Ming meant that the two of them could hand over these mundane affairs to Zhou Wan to take care of in the future, and they just lived their free lives.

"Eldest sister, do you think the second brother-in-law is fooling the second sister? If Zhou Wan enters the door and hands over this housekeeping to her, what status does the second sister have in the Lu family? Won't you have to look at Zhou Wan's eyes to live in the future? Yan Tong said angrily.

Yan Yan was obviously also shocked by these words, she didn't expect that Lu Ming would make this topic public so quickly, how eager he was.

You know, he's still an immobile wounded.
