Fragrance on Red Sleeves (III) (M)

"We have long wanted to meet Xinjie's daughter-in-law," although Empress Lan was still jealous of Ruoxue's affairs, she also understood that when Second Young Lady Tang said this today, it was an explanation for her. She needs to give face to the Tang family: "The Queen Mother also asked him to hurry up and hand over the sign to meet." ”

"My brother and sister are beautiful, but they don't like to show their heads." Second Young Lady Tang said.

"Don't like to show up and run into the five princes?" Qiu muttered unconsciously, in exchange for another fierce look from the Duchess of Rongguo.

"To say that the eyes of the five princes are really sharp," Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "I heard that the white girl was wearing a veil at that time, and he actually saw that she was a beauty." ”

"Yes, my brother and sister are low-key, well-dressed, and wear veils when they go in and out. It's really as Madame said, the five princes have sharp eyes. The girl is so well guarded, he can see that she is a beauty, it's really amazing, hahaha. Second Young Lady Tang said with a smile, What virtues the five princes have, everyone in the capital knows. Anyway, the queen didn't like the five princes, and everyone was happy to make fun of it. Qiu looked strange in the laughter of everyone. But Ruoqian of the Lan family listened very carefully, wondering if the brothers of the Tang family all have similar criteria for choosing a mate? The person in her mind is close to Sanshao, will it be affected?

The crowd laughed a little, but they didn't answer, and they didn't know what to say for a while. Second Young Lady Tang is transparent, and she continued: "But the brothers of my husband are very envious of the brothers of the uncle's family. My uncle is also a temperamental person, saying that it is the marriage of the children, the key is to get along with each other, have a compatible temperament, and like each other. Otherwise, sooner or later they will become resentful in the future. So he left his brothers to their own choice. ”

"That's not good," said Duchess Rongguo, "where can young men be accurate, they look at people by their faces, and if the women they pick out are not of good character, this will be troublesome in the future." Looking at the daughter-in-law, it is still necessary for the elderly to have a vision. What's more, our children all have some identity backgrounds, how many people try their best to stammer, if they are calculated by those who have a heart, the consequences are unimaginable. Duchess Rongguo just said what she thought, Princess Jingchen, who forgot about the queen's mother, went to Kansai.

Mrs. Liu glanced at her: "Actually, I think General Tang's statement is right. It's not that they can choose at will, but it's sure that the elders will also grow long-sighted. Moreover, several sons of the Tang family are very sensible, and this kind of marriage will definitely be cautious. ”

"It's one thing to choose, it's one thing to be cautious." Second Young Lady Tang said: "Let's just say that our third brother and sister, although the third brother fell in love as soon as he returned to Xianyang, but it was also approved by the old lady and the second wife. And my third brother is also a temperamental, he said that since the white girl has been chosen, he will not look at it in the future, whether it is a fairy or anything. No matter how good the girl is, it's not his, and he will never provoke it. Although she lowered her head when she spoke, the queen naturally understood what she meant. This is to play a round, if Tang Xinjie is selected as soon as he returns to Xianyang, it is the duty of others to reject Lan Ruoxue later. A few well-informed and intelligent people in the room also heard it.

"The third prince is really like this, I don't know how many people in the capital are sad." The Qiu family of Rongguo said again: "Yesterday, the third master also told me that he heard that the third young master of Tang went to Tianyin Pavilion and had a lively night there. ”

"You're embarrassed to bring the nonsense that the man said when he came back?" Duchess Rongguo said coldly. This third daughter-in-law gave her a headache. Originally, the third child was a concubine, but his mother disappeared when he was three years old, and he has been fostered under the name of her wife, and he has no serious business when he grows up. But this kid has a lot of eyes and coaxes the old Rongguo to be happy. I don't know what means I used to seduce the niece of Duchess Rongguo's mother's family, crying and shouting that she wanted to marry, and Duchess Rongguo was not good at saving her brother's face before agreeing to the marriage. Originally, it was not her turn to enter the palace to meet her, firstly, because Lu Xi and Lu Fan were not married, and secondly, after all, this was her brother's daughter, and she often took her out to meet the market, and she would help her in the future. It's just that I didn't expect her to have so many mouths on such an occasion.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the ladies present all looked at Duchess Rongguo with some sympathy, and then thought about what she said earlier that she wanted the elders in the family to choose a daughter-in-law, and even more acquiesced that this lady was impressed.

The queen glanced at the Duchess of Rongguo, and thoughtfully, Lu Xi and Lu Fan of the Lu family were the people they wanted to encircle. So he smiled: "Although this is in the palace, but the palace here invites everyone to have a small gathering, just like at home, and the lady doesn't have to be so strict with the children." The third young grandmother is just a little more lively, after all, she is still young. In the future, the two sisters-in-law will love this child when they enter the door. When he said the word sister-in-law, his eyes swept Lan Ruoyu. Duchess Rongguo is also old-fashioned, and she understands it at a glance. If you talk about marrying the Lan family, as long as the prince goes well, it is a very good choice. It's just Lan Ruoyu's character, she still wants to see it again, and no matter how she looks or qualifications, she is a lot worse than Lan Ruoxue, and she is a little wronged by Lu Xi. Speaking of conduct, she met Lan Ruoyun twice, but she liked this girl more, but it was a pity. If it is said to be for the fifth child, it is a good choice. Although the fifth child is also a concubine, she has a kind personality since she was a child, she is easy to handle, and she is also willing to worry about his family affairs.

Seeing Duchess Rongguo look at Ruoyu, the queen knew that her meaning had been conveyed. Just seeing that Duchess Rongguo's eyes fell on Ruoyun, she frowned. It's a pity that this girl is born, Ruo Tuo was born in Mrs. Lan's belly, and with her current temperament, it is very useful.

Lan Ruoyu has been observing the queen, and she also understood what the queen meant, thinking of Lu Xi, the son of the Lu family, who is handsome and handsome, she feels satisfied. However, after Lan Ruoxue, she was the only daughter in the family, and she originally thought of other choices, but her aunt chose it, so she could only do so. No one in the family dared to disobey my aunt now. Lan Ruoqian glanced at her and flattened her mouth, if Lan Ruoyu wasn't a descendant, she couldn't compare to herself at all.

A group of women continued to talk, and the queen ordered someone to change the tea and bring new snacks, and heard that General Tang Xinyang, the general of the forbidden army, asked to see him. Since the autumn hunt in Xinyang, he has rewarded the four-rank general for his merits, and because of his handsome appearance, the emperor gave him the title of Hua Ling General who has been a feudal person for many years in the Royal Forest Army. This Tang Sect Four Young People were already famous in the capital, and with the name of a flower general, many people in the palace and outside the palace were envious.

Tang Xinyang asked for leave to return to Kansai a year ago, and because Jing'an went to Kansai, the queen asked him to stay in Kansai to supervise the princess guards. Now that he has entered Beijing, it means that Jing'an has returned, and the queen, who has not seen her daughter for a long time, is still quite happy, and asked Xuan to come in. Of course, I didn't forget to ask, whether General Tang Si came directly to Fengyi Hall or went to the Empress Dowager's Palace first. When she got the answer that she went straight to Fengyi Hall after entering the city, the smile on the queen's face was a little more.

Tang Xinyang did not wear formal clothes, but was dressed in brown clothes, and his hair was simply tied up with a cloth towel, adding a sense of elegance to the majesty and handsomeness of the original soldiers. Although they came from afar, they were neat and tidy, and even walked with a faint fragrance of pine wood, and many of the young women sitting there were red faces. Several girls from the Lan family, some of whom had never seen him, had straight eyes. Lan Ruoqian's heart was even more like a deer, if it weren't for Lan Ruoyun pulling her, she would have been so excited that she couldn't help but stand up.

Tang Xinyang didn't pay attention to this, and after reporting Princess Jing'an's itinerary, he was about to leave, but the queen stopped him again and asked some questions. Then he said jokingly: "I heard that your ancestor has ordered a family affair for your third brother, and your brothers are not young, can Mrs. Tang give you a marriage?" ”

"This time my grandmother didn't arrange it. Listening to the old man's meaning, she has already sent a candidate, but she has to wait for the second brother and sister-in-law to return to Kansai to discuss. Tang Xinyang replied vigilantly. His father died early, and his grandmother's marriage with his second brother was handled by his grandmother, but with the example of his eldest brother and third brother, he didn't want to be trapped so easily. Especially here for the queen, it is better to be careful.

"Your second sister-in-law is here. Why didn't Mrs. Tang hear from you? The queen asked Gao with an interested expression.

Gao hurriedly got up and saluted: "The courtiers have been guarding the land with their husbands all the year round, and they are careless about the uncle's affairs. Fortunately, the family was taken care of by her grandmother, and the courtiers were really ashamed. ”

"Look at what you said, you and Second Major General Tang are stationed outside, how can I blame you for these things. And the Tang family brotherhood is famous. Presumably you think it's inconvenient to talk about housework in public, this palace understands. ”

"The queen mother misunderstood, the family affairs of our house are indeed the old grandmother's troubles, and our younger generations are enjoying it." Gao saluted again.

Tang Xinyang frowned, this queen usually looks kind and quiet, and seems to care about the affairs of the world, but since Yiyi became the crown prince, she has become more and more sour.

"Your old lady is really worried." The queen mother smiled falsely and pushed this to the old woman who was far away in Kansai, which was too sensitive to her uncle and sister-in-law. Isn't she, the queen's overture, worth their bows? It seems that the Tang family is too self-righteous.

The queen mother was so squeezed, Gao and Tang Xinyang were not easy to answer, and the palace was cold again.

Mrs. Liu is a person who has come to the matter, she has seen the forces in the palace clearly for so many years, and she doesn't like the queen to act like this. Could it be that the woman of the Lan family should be happily accepted by others?
