Liu Yan was thoughtful, Liu Fang was preoccupied, the two sisters seemed absent-minded, and they didn't see them eating happily when the table was full of good dishes. Princess Fuyu rarely enters the palace once, and she will not leave so quickly.

Queen Cao may not have seen this daughter for a long time, even if she is worried about it again, as a queen, she can't go out of the palace to visit, and Princess Fuyu has to raise a fetus and it is inconvenient to enter the palace, this time the mother and daughter have a lot to say.

Usually, Liu Yan must stay on the side, whether it is interrupted or funny, in short, no one wants to drive her away.

But today is different, Queen Cao gave her and Liu Fang an errand.

"This year's annual expenses are about to be issued, and there are still some small things that have not been done, the two of you will go to the treasurer to see if you can send out all the annual rewards today, and if there are any mistakes or omissions."

Liu Yan thought he had misheard.

When did Empress Cao send her an errand? How does she know how to issue annual rewards? Even the two jujubes in her palace are still distributed by Li Shanggong and Guiyuan, and she has never asked about the silver money, clothing, and monthly examples.

Liu Fang understood.

Empress Cao wanted to separate the two of them, presumably because there was something inconvenient for them, and she wanted to tell Princess Fuyu alone.

Empress Cao smiled and patted the back of Liu Yan's hand: "You two are not too young, these things should also be learned." Even if you don't ask in person in the future, you can't be ignorant, what if the people below deceive you? You can't just be blind and ignorant, can you? ”

Liu Fang hurriedly responded: "What the queen mother said is, let's go." ”

Empress Cao also instructed them: "I will let Yaoluo go with you, she has the best hand in reading the account books, and the old officials in the household department are not as good as her, if you don't know it, just ask her." ”

Yao Luo is also the palace maid of Yilan Palace, you can know it by listening to the name. Yingluo, Yunluo, Yaoluo, and Xiangluo can get ahead in front of the queen, and it is impossible without real skills. Queen Cao is not a luxurious, flattering character, she uses people, one looks at her character and the other looks at her talent, and she can't do it without either.

Liu Yan and the others recognized Yao Luo, but Yao Luo usually didn't hand tea and water in front of Queen Cao, so they weren't familiar with each other. At this time, let Yao Luo follow them to run errands, it is estimated that Yao Luo is the main one, they just need to take a look and know what is going on, no one expects them to learn arithmetic and read the account book all of a sudden.

Liu Fang turned his head and glanced back, and now the wind was blowing again, and the eaves of the Yilan Hall were covered with unwashed residual snow, which looked different from usual - a little unfamiliar.

deliberately sent them away, maybe some of them were married, and it was inconvenient for them to listen.

Or maybe what's ...... There is something about them, and it is inconvenient for them to listen.

As for what it is, it's not Liu Fangfei pulling on herself.

She always felt that it was mostly related to her.

In fact, she guessed correctly.

Princess Fuyu was indeed talking to Empress Cao about Liu Fang.

"I have asked the colt to inquire about the few people mentioned by the queen mother last time. Not only did he inquire, but I also managed to ask some people. The queen mother said that the Yuan family has six sons alone, and there are seven unmarried daughters. If the third sister is married, although there is a princess's mansion, it is not good to pay these people in the husband's family. ”

"How is the fifth elder of the Yuan family?"

"He is a man who has no bad deeds, has a gentle temperament, reads books seriously, and knows how to be motivated. However, the horse said to me that Yuan Wu was actually Mrs. Yuan's youngest son, and the younger brother behind him was a concubine, and he was very valued by Mrs. Yuan......

Things don't seem to be a bad thing, Yuan Wu's temperament is rare among the children of a noble relative in Beijing.

But Empress Cao herself is also the mother of several children, and when she heard that Mrs. Yuan controlled her son so strictly, Yuan Wu obeyed her mother again, and instead eliminated him from the list of son-in-law candidates.

Yuan Wu himself has no opinions, he only knows that he can't socialize at all when he immerses himself in reading, which is not very good. If you are a colt, whether you have the talent to learn is secondary, and being able to be a talent is the first element. If he is still controlled by Mrs. Yuan like this in the future, he will not have any contact with him outside...... I'm afraid it's not going to be a good day.

Princess Fuyu then said the next: "As for the Wu family, my daughter doesn't think it's suitable. ”

She didn't say her opinion on Yuan Wu just now, she only stated the facts, and it was up to Queen Cao to decide whether it was appropriate or not. But the Wu family directly said that it was not suitable, and Queen Cao hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The Wu family is not strict in governing the family, and Wu Shaoyin himself is not upright. He doesn't pay attention to reading, his monthly reviews are always inferior, and he occasionally has a middle and upper class, and I'm afraid it's not his own ability. The martial arts field is even more perfunctory, and the riding and archery masters of the official school have never seen him a few times, either because of his illness or by asking someone to respond. The daughter inquired that he had actually been obsessed with women since he was 14 or 14 years old. It is said that the eldest son of the Wu family added a concubine last year, but according to the news revealed by the people of the Wu family, the maidservant girl was actually from Wu Shaoyin's room, and he had been used by him for at least a year......

Either the Wu family's brothers were disobedient, and the younger brother was also involved with the elder brother, or the Wu family felt that Wu Shaoyin had not yet married, and it was not good to make a maid child, so it was recorded in the name of the Wu family's elder brother.

Empress Cao snorted: "It's a shame that some people praise the Wu family like flowers, saying that Mrs. Wu is benevolent...... It seems to be benevolent enough. ”

The son can't manage it well, and even the people in the family chew his tongue like this, which shows that he is confused and incompetent.

Originally, I thought that the Wu family had a simple population, and Mrs. Wu also had a reputation for being kind and generous, but I didn't expect it to be so dirty when I opened it.

"Let's go on."

"Yes. Speaking of Zhao Lei," Princess Fuyu smiled: "There is nothing to say about character, and there is everything to learn, but to be stupid, in addition to reading, I only know how to paint, and the economy of Rentu is not passable, not to mention that the family has fallen to Si ...... since Zhao Laoshangshu went."

"The Zhao family has a hidden disease?"

"As far as my daughter knows, this is not. Zhao Lei's father was infected by the cold after the water fell in winter, which was not considered a disease. His little uncle was born under the age of a month - at that time, Zhao Shangshu was over fifty years old, and the concubine was not young. As for his uncle, the queen mother also knew that I didn't need to say more. His two aunts are in good health, but they are married far away, and they have no affection for Zhao Lei and have no contacts. ”

Princess Fuyu said this, but she also understood what Queen Cao meant in her heart.

Zhao Lei's family background Queen Cao didn't know, she asked the Zhao family if there were any physical deficiencies, and she thought that she already had a little intention of marrying, but if the horse was not in good health, wouldn't the princess be unlucky?

In fact, if you really spread the election, regardless of the background, there will be more candidates for the horses, not to mention the side, after the autumn of next year, you will be able to pick up the right ones in the new science and technology jinshi.

However, Empress Cao still prefers to find such a knowledgeable temperament.
